THE State Auditor is sending to Town, .City M$d County Clerks, and members of County Boards of Supervisors, asking information regarding the amount of all debts of local municipalities. The Auditor says, in his cir- cular: 441 am making an effort to arrive at the .Tegate amount of local indebtedness in this 8|a(e.

That the Democratic party, being largely composed of recent lebels. and their fump.-i- thizers. cannot be safely intruste i with the ad­ ministration «.f the atl&ir- of the Government; tliat tne partial success of that party in Con­ gress as well as in several of the States, only shows its gross partisan character and general incapacity and lack, of honor and patriotism. 3.

The credit of the Nation has steadily improved, while hoth the principal and interest of the public debt, as well as the burdens of iSationul taxation, have been gradually dlnrin-. isbed. Sacii results could only be produced by honesty, ecoiio'uy an t wisdom in the manage­ ment of'titiam ijil attairs. 4.

Tlie third and fourth boats were Without the gay curtains, hut had the tive-storied umbrellas that denote great rank; and the body was fastened between these two boats and floated in the water. There was a canopy of white cloth over it, to keep off the sun and rain. More than two hundred men were taking it to its last resting-place. Now, why do you suppose there was all this parade and ceremony? I will tell you the reason. The Siamese be­ lieve that, at death* their spirits pass into the body of some man or animal of more or less impovtance, according' as th^y have been good or bad while living, and that they may thus be barn a thousand times. If they find an ele­ phant that is very light-colored, they think that some very great person .is living in it. -The nearer white it is, the mBre it is prized and honored. One of the highest titles of the King is, " The Lord of the White Elephant. 1 The Sia- amese flag is a white elephant on a red ground. Not long ago they had an elephant at the palace that they called white. Its stable was handsomer than the houses of many of the noblemen of that day. The rope with which this elephant was tied was covered with crimson silk. It had several broad bands of gold on each of its tusks, and was fed with bananas, sugar-cane and other dainties, from a silver tray, which was carried to it by men creeping on their knees. The truth is, it was so petted that it sickened and died, though it was cared for by the wisest of the royal physicians. After its death, IJis Majesty sent some gristles from its tail to Queen Victoria, as a very valuable present. Last fall another pet-elephant died. One hundred Buddhist priests took part in the funeral services. A procession of thirty boats escorted the body down the river to Paklat, where it was buried with great pomp and almost royal cer­ emony. Many a Siamese nobleman has been buried with less ceremony than was this favorite elephant of the Kipg. When our Christian missionaries can tcaoh these people that at death the spirit will return, to God, who gave it, and not enter info an)- other body, there will be an end to many of their foolish customs.---Children's Work. t USEFUL AKD SLtitiESTIYE.

When done, take the onions up with a skimmer. Thicken the water, which should be boiled away to about a pint, with a very little corn-starch; add butter, pepper and salt to taste.

E VERY farmer is acquainted with smut, which often grows upon the heads of grain and destroys it, but every farmer does not know that it is a sort of fungus. At the FaAners1 Insti­ tute, held at Ithica, Prof. A. Prentiss, of Cornell University, gav^a paper on " Fungi," from which we give some extracts: "Everyone is more or less ac­ quainted with the soft, variously-shaped and colored succulent plants which abound in our woods and meadows and are known under the common names of toad stools, mushrooms and puff balls. But how many are there that know that all forms of rust, smut, mil­ dew and mold arc produced by the growth of a similar group of plants, •only much smaller in size? Many of this latter class are so small that they can be seen only with the aid of the microscope, yet they are found every­ where, and the number df different spe­ cies is immense. The question natu­ rally arises, ' Of what use are these plants of this low order of growth?' Some we know are beneficial, while many others are injurious. A large number of the mushroom family are edible, some of the puff balls are used for staunching the flow of blood, but by far the most valuable species are those which produce ferments in the manufacture of liquors. •'Yeast is only a fungoid plant. When placed in the dough these plants multiply very rapidly; acids are formed, and the bread rises or becomes light. Mildew, mold, smut and rust are examples of the most injurious kinds of • fungi, and are all very de­ structive to vegetation. The mildew that at one time attacked the grape­ vines in France, and caused great loss, and the history of the potata rot in Ire­ land are illustrations of thti destructive powers of fungi. " If we take a common puff-ball and press it in the hand we observe a cloud of dust rising from it. This dust is i*s seed, or whatarecalledspores. One ball . Straafce Funeral Procession. A STRANGE procession once passed iidowtTffce river, in front of otir house, when I lived in Bangkok, Siam. There were eVht large boats, with about thir­ ty boatmen dressed in red uniform. Six of these boats had beautiful curtains of crimson-and-gold cloth. They had a brass band, and the music was very , -mournful; for ifc was a funeral proces­ sion. Whose funeral do you think it was? That of some great personage? No; this procession was only doing honor to the dead body of a light-colored ele- put the onions on the the gravy over. DROPPED EGGS.--Have a saucepan of boiling water, and drop fresh eggs carefully into the wateu; let them stand where they will be hot, but not boil until the whites set. Toast some thin slices of bread nicely, lay them in a, dish, and pour over a gill of rich, hot cream salted to taste; take up the eggs with a skimmer, and put anegg on each slice of toast; sprinkle a little salt and pepper over, and garnish with parsley if you please. R ASPBERRY S HORT-C AKE.--Take a coftee-cup of sour cream; a teaspoon- ful of soda, flour and salt. Sift the flour and add a little salt; then stir the soda into the cream and before it stops foaming turn it into the flour; mix stiff enough to roll out--careful not to get it, too stiff--into three or four cir­ cles the size of a small pie tin; butter each and place one on top of the other; bake until well done, in a quick oven; pull the layers apart and spread, each one plentifully with ripe fruit previ­ ously sweetened with pulverized sugar; place layer upon layer and serve at once with sweetened cream. G RAIN, green vegetables, and in fact, nearly everything fowls eat contains a little carbonate of lirne. Yet the do­ mestic hen produces eggs with an un­ natural frequency, and her ordinary diet, for the time being, does not sup­ ply lime fast enough tc inclose the eggs, since the material for the egg it­ self are partially drawn from the tis­ sues of her body, where they have been stored up in advance of the laying sea­ son. Hence lime in the shape of bones, oyster shells, etc., is needed, and the fact that the hen when laying profuse­ ly craves lime and consumes a consid­ erable quantity shows that she "under­ stands her bhsiness best11--American Poultry Yard. A Wonderful Violinist. Paris has a wonderful violinist, whom Edward King says is the greatest mu­ sician he has ever seen. His name is Remenyi, and he is a gypsy. "He has/' says King, "Ole Bull's intense spirituality, and he has added to it something that does not belong to the North--the voluptuous rhythm and melody born of Southern moonlights and the perfumes of rich blossoms." Describing his method, Mr. King says:, " At first he plays only a simple melo­ dy over and over, until people, puzzled, look at each other and murmur. But that repetition is for the purpose of fix­ ing the melody in our minds. Now, with lightning rapidity, he has darted into a series of infinite variations, through all of which we still hear the refrain returning, with matchless pre­ cision. Then he pours forth a long current of appealing cries, of inarticu­ late n^uans, of the spirit; of the thou­ sand things which the soul thinks, but cannot utter for itself. And at last he finishes with a mad dance, in which it requires but little fancy to convince us that we hear the clatter, of the tam- bourine, the wail of the gUzla, the clink of spurs as cavaliers dance on the hard- baked floors of rustic cabins with pret­ ty maidens. Loud is the applause. Re- i menyi bows and begins anew. The Tsiganese who have accompanied him on the previous composition, now look puzzled, suiile and shake their heads. Remenyi1 s improvising.

Geese frequently attain great age, and birds of forty are by no means puheavdv of, while a recent report mentions a venerable specimen of sixty years. A goose at least forty years old and still yearly laying her clutch of eggs and bringing forth a fine brood of goslings is mentioned in a recent work, and youngsters of twenty are by no means rare.

The plow being now ready for delivery, we give some weights and dimensions which w|ll enable one to form some idea of it. The share weighs 882 pound?, the mold-board 18tVspounds, the beam 900 pounds, the coulter amr clasp 180 pounds, the clevis fiULpoiuids, the standard 184 pounds?. The sizes of the principal parts are: The beam is 16£ feet long, 10 inches wide and 17 inches thick; the land-slide is 1) feet by 5x2 inches, the standard 40x7x1 J inches, the mold-board 8 feet by inches, the share 5£ feet by 12 inches. It will cut a furrow 37 inches wide, and is expect­ ed to go through any obstruction which comes in its way.

These reddish colored masses contain thousands of spores, which are blown about by the wind. They fall upon other plants, and if the weather is fa­ vorable will sprout, grow and ripen their seed in two days, so that iii a short time ,a whole field may be badly injured or almost totally destroyed. The spores from the rust develop into smut; thus saiut and rust alternate, smut carrying through the winter the spores which produce the rust. Some­ times rust is more abundant, and some­ times smut, depending upon the con­ ditions favoring the germination offtlie spores. The remedy for smut and rust is to avoid sowing the spores with the seed. The spores may be killed by wetting the grain in brine and then rolling it in lime. If this is properly done it kills the seed of the rust without injuring the grain.11 as with the of a familiar warmth air.

The universal improve­ ment which has resulted from the efforts of zealous fanciers in the past few years has extended itself to all classes of feathered stock and included the various varieties of geese, of which the Jbmoden and Toulouse are the best known. This improvement is shown not in-an increased egg_ production ( l'or no one has succeeded iu changing the natural habit of the goose in this particular in as great a degree as has been done with fowls), but in the in­ creased size of the mature birds.
