After the King’s martyrdom, as the Royal- ists termed the fatal execution at Whitehall, Bosville, a deserter and couspirator, was fain to hold himself concealed in one of the many hiding places provided by the Cavaliers for their more conspicuous friends. It took time. and cosmetics too. for the dye to wear itself out of his natural skin. It took time for his comely locks and dark moustache to grow once more, and thus eflace all resemblance to the flaxenhaired Brampton. whilome a private in Hacker's redoubtalfle musketeers. Although when he was at length able to go abroad again, it was a nice question whether the proscribed Cavalier Major did not incur as much peril by heing recognized in his own real character, as in that of the sentinel who had plotted for the King’s rescue, and then absconded from the ranks of the Parliamentary army. Many long weeks he remained in hiding, and it was during this interval of inaction that he heard of Eflixigliam’s proposed marriage to Grace, and of Mary’s succession to her uoodly inheri- tance. It was bitter to think how little she must have ever cared for him, that she should have made not the slightest effort to discover his lurkingplace. He judged her, and right- ly, by his own heart, when he reflected that she ought to know he could not sue to her now â€"that if ever they were to become even friends again. the advances must come from her. His spirit sank within him when he thought that heartlessness such as this af- fected even the past, that she never could have loved him for five minutes to forget him so easily new, and that he had bartered his life’s happiness for that which was more false and illusive than a dream, God help the heart that is sore enough to say of the loved ones, “ I had rather he or she had died than used me thus 1" and yet poor Bosville had flought more than once. ' As is ten the case with blind mortality, much of this self-torture was wholly un. called-for and unjust. \Vhile Humphrey was blaming her with such bitter emphasis, Mary busied herself day by day and hour by hour in endeavoring to find out what had become of him. Without compromising his safety, she was bringing into play all her abilities, all her experience of political in- trigue, all her new wealth and old personal in- fluence for this purpose, but in vain. The Cavalier party was so completely broken-up and disorganized that it was almost impos- sible to obtain information concerning any one of the proscribed and scattered band. Mary was [sin to give up her search in de- spair, concluding that he had either fled the country or was (lead. The latter possibility she 601111)thth with a reasoning all her own. She was not superstitious, only very fond and very sorrowful. After a time his pride came to his assist- ance, and he resolved to seek' 1n othe1 lauds. if not fo1getfulness, at least distraction and employment His fortunes were nearlv ruined with the mined cause he had espoused. He had little left save his brave empty hemt and the sword that had neve1 failed him yet. In the golden tropics there weie spoils to he won and adventures to be found. Many a hold cavalier who, like himself_ had been more used to hit and bridle than bolt- -sprit and mainstay, was already afloat for the Spanish Main, with a. vague thirst for novelty and a dim hope of romantic enterprise. Fabulous accounts were rite of those enchanted seas, with their perfumed breezes and thei1 00ml shows, their palm t1 ees and their spice islands, their eternal summers and their radiant skies. Nothing was too extravagant to be credited of the Spanish Mum and many an enthu- siust {gazing at sunset on the flushing splen dor oi the \Vesteln heaven. was pe1suaded that he might realize on earth just so gm- geous a dream far away in yonder hemisphere MWhich his eves were turned. “ It. was my fault. I know,” she need to think that humbled, conmite woman; ‘and yet he loved me so once, he could nol: surely rest in hi1: grave if he knew how anxious and unhappy I am.’ She would rather have seen him thus than not at all. And Bosville had a share in one of these pirate-ships, lying, with her fOI‘e-topsail lowed, in the Thames. She was well found, well manned, well Ireighted, and ready to sail atumoment’s So the Cavaliers clubbed their diminished means together, and chartered goodly brignn- tines, and loaded them with merchandise. looking well to their store of arms and ammu- nition the while. and launched upon the deep with mingled hopes f’of trade and con quest, batter and rupino, tie beads to tempt the dusky savage in the one hand, the sword to lay him on his golden sands in the other. Humphrey set under the cedars in the misty moonlight, and mused dreamily and sadly enouirh on his past life, which indeed seemed to be gone from him for evermore. A man’s strong heart is seldom so hopeful as a woman's; it is harder for his more practical nature to cling, like hers, to a shadow ; perhaps he has not so studiously reconciled himself to sufiering as his daily lot ; perhaps his affec- tions are less ideal‘ but his despondency is usually of a fiercer and less tractable kind than her meek sorrowful resignation. Hum- phrey had gone through the whole ordeal, the trial by fire. which scorchos and destroys the baser metal7 but from which the sterling gold comes out purified and refined. He had suf- fered bitterly ; he sometimes wondered at himself that he could have endured so much ; but his faith had not wavered ;to use the language of that old chivalry which has never yet died out in England, though it might prove his death wound, his shield was bright and spotless still. She smiled ou the honest sergeant, such a wild. stmnge smile, Never a. word she spoke, but she rose steadily :0 her feet, and Walked away with her own proud step ; only henoticed that her face was deadly white, and she kept one hand clasped tight about her throat. “ He's to meet me to-night in the Parkâ€" under the mduruâ€"vhe’s therenowâ€"he’s going away at once, for good and allâ€"going over sea â€"we‘ll never see him more.

She rose as if to go awsv, and Dymocke felt that now or never he must take his plunge. He coughed with sofa preposterous violence that she could mt. but lift her sad eyes to his face. Sin. might reasonably have expected to see him in the last stage of suffocation. “ Mistres: Mary,” said 1110 sergeant, blank and gaping with agitation, and there he stopped, HOLMB Ef- HOUSE. A tall old man, his visage puckered into it thousand wrinkles, his spare form somewhat bent, but active and sinewy still, bends over the boy with assiduous tenderness, adjusting for the twentieth time the pony’s saddle, which is always slipping out of its place.

He believes stoutly that his father and Hugh are the two greatest and bravest men that ever lived, inclining to award the superiority, if anything, to the latter. and that his own destiny must be nec- essarily to do precisely as they have done. Basides all this. Dyxnoeke has taught him to ride, to fish, to play balloon, to use his play- thing sword, and a host of bodily accoiriplish- ments ; also he has promised to give him a creasbow on his seventh birthday. Wherever little Master Humphrey is seen (mid heard too, we may be sure), there is Dymoeke not very far 011’. Faith, grown stout, easy and slip-shod, having moreover deteriorated in good looks as she has improved in amiability, gives her husband his own way on this single point and no other. “ Indeed, he‘s crazed He spreads his mighty arms over a happy party; not so noisy perhaps (with one exoeu tion), as most such parties are in these roaring times, but one and all bearing on their countenauees the stamp, which there in no mistaking, of a destiny worked out, of worthy lougiizgs fulfilled, above all, of a heart at peace with itself. They are well mounted, and have had to all appearance an exeel~ lent afternoon’s sport; a brace of herons lie stricken to death on the sword, and Diamond herself, that long-lived child of air, proud. beautiful and cruel, like XL Venus .Victrix, perches on her mistress’s wrist, unliooded, to gaze upon the spoils.

He has his father’s courage, too, and physical delight in danger. as Mary thinks with a glow of prido and happiness, while shewatches him ride his pony hither and thither over fortuitous leaps, and galloping that obstinate little animal to and fro with reckless and unâ€" called-for speed. “THE FAIRY KING.” Once more we gather the friends, from whom we are about to part, in a. fairy-ring under the old oak tree at Holmby. More than two lustres have elapsed, with their changes, political and private, since we saw them last, lustros that have stolen on insonsibly over many it birth and many a burial, over much that has been brought gradually to perfection, much that has wasted silently to decay. The man of destiny has gone to his account. The man of pleasure reigns, or rather revels. on his father's throne. All over England hells have rung, and barrels been broached, to celebrate the Restoration. A strong re‘ action, to which our countrymen are of all others in Europe the most subject, has set in against Puritanism, propriety. everything that infers moderation or restraint. Wine and wassail, dancing and drinking, quaint, strange oaths, and outward recklessness of demeanor, are the vogue ; and decency, so long bound hand and foot in over-tight swad- dling clothes. strips oil her wrappers one by one, till there is no saying Where she may stop; and seems inclined to strike hands and jom in with the frantic orgy, nude and shame- less as a Bucohanal. As with boys fresh out of school, there is a med whirl of liberty all over the playground ore each can settle stead- ily to his peculiar pleasure or pursuit. And the 01d oak looks down on all, majestic and unchanged. There may be a little less ver- dure about his feet, a few more tender chap- lets budding on his lofty brows. a few less drops of sap in the hardening fibres of his massive girth, but what are a couple of lus- tres to him? He stands like 9, Titan, rearing his head to heaven, and yet his time too, will come at last. ‘7‘7My owh, you never knew it. but Iloved you so fondly all the time.” These scenes are all alike. Most of us have dreamt them ; to some they have come true. None dare ignore them from their hearts. Thomonn rose higher and h1gher in the sky, and still they stood. those two, under the cedar, her wet face buried in his breast, his arm around her waist.

How long those two stood there without tpeaking, neither ever knew. It might have been a moment, it might have been an hour. Each heart beat thick and fast, yet neither spoke a syllable. She broke the silence first. “ You would not go without bidding me good-bye ?” she said, and he felt her grasp tighten : then the proud head sank lower, lower still, till it rested upon his hand, and the hot tears gushed over it as she pressed it to her eyes. and she could say never another word than “ Forgive me. forgive me, Humphrey 1” again and again.

Uncle Effing- as the boy persists in calling George, with halts-dozen little black-eyed darlings of his own, spoils him almost as much as Grace does. He is not a man of qnips and cranks, and such merry conceits; but he has one or two private jests of their own with the little fellow, in which, judging from the ex- plosions of laughter by which they are fol- lowed, there must be something irresistibly humorous, apparent only to the initiated.

The only fuult to be found in his strong sensible character is, that he defers too much to the whims and fancies of his pretty wife. Need we observe she has plenty of them ready for the purpose.

He has got the foolish sleeve-knot still, he has got one or two other equally trifling absurdi- ties; perhaps they represent to him a treaure that is beyond all value here; that, unlike other treasures, he may peradventure take away with him hereafter. There may be a line or two on the sweet fair browâ€"nay, a thread of silver in the glassy rippling hair ; but there is a depth of un- speakable tenderness in the comely mask through which the spirit beams with more than its pristine brightness ; and the love- hght in her eyes as she looks in her hus- band‘s face is unquenched, unquenchable. Mary laughs, and says “she has grown into a fat old woman now; ” and no doubt the graceful figure had become steteliex‘ in its proportions, and the Court dresses of Oxford and Exeter would scarcely be induced to meet round the still shapely waist ; but Humphley cannot yet be brought to consider hel as it very anthuated pelsonage. He says, “She has always been exactly the same in his ey;os’2a1dperhn.ps indeed the face he has learned so thoroughly by heart will never look like an old face to him. “Odd’a fish, man ! ” said the Merry Mon- arch. as he gave him the accolade with hearty good-will ; “many a shrewd blow have you and I seen struck in our time, but never was one given and received so deservedly as this I The young gentlemen is an only child; need we say haw his father watches every turn of his countenance, every gesture of his graceful, childish limbs, and leves him best mifindeed he can he said to love him at any one time more than another~when he is a little wilful - and a little saucy. when the blue eyes dance and sparkle, and the rosy lip curves upward. and the tiny hand turns outward from the wrist, with his mother’s own gesture and his ‘mether's own beauty bloomingonce mere, and radiant as it used to be,long,long ago?

So he works on manufully and fearlessly, daing his duty in that public life to which he has returned. His fanatism has been discip. lined to piety, his enthusiasm toned to pa.- triotism ; he is an able statesman and a val- uable member of society.

I am endeavoring at present to raise money with which to liberate Marian Iscovoda the Mexican General who 13 chained down in 11 dungeon with six other captives. At one time I possessed the coat wo111 by Maximilian when he was killed. It is in the French Museum at Paris, France. I also owned a. knife which belonged to the Emperor, but it was stolen from me when Iwas d1ugged in St. Louis. In my search I found myself in St. Louis, last' August. I stopped at the St. James Hotel. During the latter part of the month I took medical baths in a bath- house not far from thehotel. One day I took some tea, that was ofiered me by the attend- {mt and in 1 shOIt time my tongue swelled up. my mouth became thy, and I becameuncon- scious I “as insensible twenty four hours and my life was preserved by a scretch.lWhile in this condition I was robbed of $1,000. leav- ing me in straitened circumstances. Stiles, of St. Louis, chief of detectives, treated me “ At one time I visited the camp of the fa- mous outlaw Sam Bass. It was in Indian Territory, and I boldly went into his camp and presented to him letters of recommenda- , tion from mutual friends. I sat on a stump 1 some distance from the fire and held a long conversation with him. Charley Howard, my brother’s murderer, was also there, but did not recognize me, as I wore a false beard and was dressed in men’s clothing. Bass took 111 letters, and went to the fire to read them. When he returned I asked him if he knew me. He said he did not, when, with one sweep I tore the disguise away and let my hair down. He stepped back and surveyed me, after which he passed a. compliment on my bravery. Collins, afterward concerned in the great Union Pacific robbery at :Big Springs, was also my friend. There was another man in the gong-~12. young man named Bill Scott ; also a man named Frank SuoW. On account of information which I gave Bass he discharged five of his men, Charley Howard among the number. This was what I planned for, but I did not make anything out of it. Snow was suspected by Bass, who feared that he meant to give them away, which he could easily do. The gang had their programme arranged to the most minute particular: for months ahead, and, as Snow had the know- lege of even where the gang would he at cer- l tain hours they resolved to get rid of him as an easier task than changing the programme. By substituting another man’s clothes for Snow’s While he slept, the latter, when wak- ing, put them on and was immediately ar- rested and placed in an underground cell in Sherman, where the heat was so great that the skin upon his hands cracked open. When it was learned by the officers that the prisoner knew of Bass‘s movements, he was treated better, in hopes that he would squeal. From Snow I learned of the future movements of the Bass gang. Their intention was to kill and rob an old men who possessed a large sum of money, and lived near Fort \Vorth. I hired out to him and saved his life. They also intended killing a planter who lived on outskirts of Eagle Ford. I knew of their plans, even to knowing under what bushes in the yard they would conceal themselves. I took supper with the planter on the night of the proposed robbery and saved his]. I knew in advance of the Mesquit robbery, the Eagle Ford affair, the robbery of the First National Bank of Dallas and the Post Office at Shreve- port. I t'urther know where there is a peach basket full of money, the fruit of the famous stage coach robbery in the Black Hills. It is in gold and silver. and buried in a certain spot. ” A second time I entered Bass’ camp secretly, and lay in the brush looking at Howard, who was fashioning a wooden sword out of red cedar. Howard afterward went out with the militia after Bass, as a lalind, he being a member of the gang all the time. I was shot once by Howard, and have been shot altogether some five times. ruining my health and reducing me from 200 pounds weight to what E auxâ€"almost a skeleton. For a long time I did not believe that Howard was the one who actually murdered my brother. I suspected another man of the trio. I traced him down and found him dying. I ran a. great risk, but he told me all. He said Howard watched from the bridge, and the other two went to look for him at the remaining bridge, over which it was thought he would come. Contrary to expectations he was met by Howard. The fight was desperate, and the victim fought hrnvelv in the dusk, while the murderous knife was plunged into his body seven times. The dying man fully described the thrilling fight and fixed the crime on Howard. Soon after the murder a. man named Voorhees. one of the three murderers. passed through Kansas City, and is at present in Toledo, 0. My husband was well known on the lower river, having been captain on the illâ€"fated Sultana, on which so many lives were lost. 1 “ My husband was Surgeon Duprez of the l Regular United States Army, and he died some years ago.

Five years ago. in Houston, Texas, in the month of April, I was stopping at the Hutchins House, and was expecting the arâ€" rival of my brother, J. W. Laforce. Before his arrival Iheard of a homeliko boarding: house, below the Masonic Temple and senI my negro servant to secure rooms there, as t thought it would be a pleasant place to wel- come my brother. A few days afterward he arrived from Kansas City. He had a large sum on moneyâ€"nearly $11,600â€"with him, which fact became known to three desperate oharact ers, who laid 0. plan to kill and rob him as he was crossing one of the two bridges. One of the men Charley Howard, watched the iron bridge over the bayous, and met my brother. He sprang upon him and feully murdered him,stabhing him in several places, after which he secured the money and threw the bodv into the bayou. Some days afterward the body was found and recognized by me. To render it more terrible, it was committed by a man whom my brother had educated and lavished money upon as he would on a son. I found out the names of the three men upon whom the crime rested. and swore an oath that I would follow them to the death. That was five years ago, and i am still on the trail. While pursuing my self-imposed task I be- came acquainted with every outlaw of note from Denver to the Rio Grande, and have friends among them, hundreds I might say, who would dare anything for me in return for what I have done for them.

On Christmas morning a riot occurred at Fetliard, county Tipperary, between some of the soldiers of the Seventh Hussurs, sta- tioned there, and civilians, There had been a good deal of drinking the previous night in the canteen and in the town, and later on some civilians encountered three hussars out on pass. It is alleged that the soldiers. being from the North or Ireland. exclaimed “Down with Pope and popery l ” and the civilians reâ€" sorted with other equally insulting cries. A row was the result. and then the hussars went into barracks and brought out fourteen or fif- teen of their comrades, and the fight was re- newed on a. larger acale with about twenty- six young men of the town. In the affair a hussar lost his sword. The guard from the barracks, under Lieutenant Johnston, soon turned out, dispersed the civilian rioters and brought back the soldiers, some of whom had been sentenced to back drill for periods vary- ing from seven to fourteen days. The sword was brought back to barrack ground next morning. No arrests of civilians have been made.

'Gefl Major Benjamin Perlay Poore, who is a Scottish Rite Mason of the thirty-third degree, said that he was not surprised by the an- nouncement from Lieutenant Commander Gorringe that he had found enshrined beâ€" neath the Alexandria obelisk Masonic emit blems. The Major stated that some thirty- five years ago, when a young man, he visited Egypt twice, and that he found on the ruins of the temples and the tombs on the banks of the Nile abundant evidences of the existence of a societyâ€"evidentlya secret societyâ€"which used emblems similar to many of those now used by the “brethren of the mystic‘ tie.” This society superintended the erection of the Pyramids and other stupendous piles of masonry, some of which were built step by step . as the head of the order progressed in his acqui- sition of the mysteiies of the order, and after his death it became his burial place. Major Poore narrated his visit to a. subterranean ; place of interment in Egypt, which was piled 1 up to the ceiling with sarcophagi, on each one of which was portrayed its embalmed in< mate’s name, with the implements of his trade or the symbols of his profession. At last he came to one on which was painted a male figure about 10 inches in height, stand- ing in the position and making the sign now a portion of the ceremonial of one of the de- grees of the Scottish rite and wearing hisjewel. Around are grouped many of the symbols now used in speculative Masonry, including the all seeing eye. the square, the gauge di- vided into the parts, the gavel, the rough and perfect ashlars and the plumb. These might have denoted a practical mason. but they are intermingled with small pictures of fig- ures represented as givingsigns recognizable by the craft, and the jewel, which was found on the breast of the embalmed occupant of the sarcophagus, was a small bronze figure of Science. with a. finger on its lips. It was at that time against an edict of the Pricha to remove any antiquities from Egypt without having first obtained a firinan, which could only be gotten by an expenditure of time and money. “So,” said Major Poore, “I had‘ to content myself with cutting elf that portion of the sarcophagus on whichthese symbols and the figure had been painted. That with the jewel and the “right hand” of the ombalmed mummy I brought home, and they are now at my residence in Massachusetts. Those, with other symbols from Egypt, have been examined by hundreds of American Free Masons, who have recognized them as iden- tical With those used by the fraternity here at the present day.” A number of prominent Masons were visi- ted, with the view of getting their opinion upon the merits of Commander Gorringe‘s discovery, but they all declined to any any- thing untll they were better informed of the real character of the emblems brought to light at Alexandria It was it tradition among Masons that the order had its origin in Egypt but the craft had already been imposed upon by the claims of many who in their Z( :11 had been misled. Masonry had nothing to gain by the pretension, and if the relics exhumed by the removal of the obelisk were valuable then they would he examined by those skilled in research and history and their value prop- erly estimated. It was regarded as some what strange that: a like discovery was not made when the obelisk was removed by the British engineers. In explanation, however, one member of the order remarked that Eng- lish engineers were not as inquisitive as the Americans, and that Commander Gorringe had probably gone deeper in his work than the English ofliccrs had. When asked whether he regarded the Free. masonry of to-dey as lineally descended from the Egyptian order. Major Pooro replied:â€" “ I am not prepared to assert that it was, but I am confident that some‘of the mysteries of that order, with their symbols and emblems, have been preserved through centuries. some- times under one form and sometimes under another, until we now have them in the Scotâ€" tish rite of Freemasonry. There is a. mystic tie which binds the hierophants of ancient Egypt, the essence of Asia Minor, the stoics of Greece, the mason builders of old Ger- many and the speculative Free Masons of the present time. I hope that the discovery of Lieutenant Commander Gorringe may‘throw upon the subject what all good Free Masons needâ€"‘light.’ ” ~â€"Luth§zr’s wedding-rim: IS on exhibition at the jeweller’s.

Jan. 19, 1880.â€"A telegram was received Friday at the State Department from Lieutenant Commander Gorringe, of the United States Navy, now at Alexandria, Egypt, superintending the removal of one of I the Monolith columns, announcmg that when the obelisk was taken from the base he had discovered masonic emblems in the founda- tion, and that he would have photographs l made of them, which would be sent to Wash- ington without delay, while the originals l would be carefully preserved. This informs. l,tion which is not generally known, hadbeeni communicated to a number of the leading members of the Masonic Order here in Washington, and a newspaper representative on Saturday called upon General Albert Pike, who is the Grand Commander of the Scottish Rites in the United States, to ascer- tain if he could give any information bearing upon the relation of Masonry in Egypt to the order of Freemasonry as it exists in this country. Mr. Pike said that until he knew more particulars relating to the discovery he could not express an opinion. He had re. cently received alarge number of valuable photographic views of the ancient structures of Egypt from the head of the Masonic Order in Cairo, and he had no doubt that in due time he would be in possession of the pictures taken of this latest discovery of Masonic emblems in Egypt. Upon the mere statement, however, of Commander Gorringe, without any par- ticulars, it would be impossible to discuss the value of the emblems revealed by the removal of this ancient column. He had no doubt but that they bore a striking resemblance to many of the emblems in use by the Masonic fraternity and that the naval officer recog- nized them as such. There were present during the interview several prominent Masons who heard with apparent delight the announcement of Commander Gorringe, and said that such a. discovery would undoubtedly awaken renewed interest in the study of Masonic archaeology. The photographs of the obelisk were then carefully examined and some time was spent in discussing the char- acter of the operative Masons of twenty cen- turies ago. fined two iollars?

(From the Bucyrus J ournnrl‘) Here it may relieve us when the mercury has crept into the nineties, to think of a town which Humbolt and other travelers have pro- nounced the coldest on the globe. This is Jukutsk (or Yakoetsk), chief town of the pro- vince of that name in Eastern Siberia. or on the left bank of the River Lena, 62 degree 1 minute north. longtitnde 119 degrees 44 min- utes east, and distant from St. Petersburg 5,951 miles. The ground remains continually frozen to the depth of 300 feet, except in midsummer when it thaws three feet at the surface. During ten days in August the thermometer marks 85 degrees, but from November to February it ranges from 42 to 68 degrees below zero, and the river is solid ice for nine months out of the twelve. The entire industry of the placeâ€"population 5.- 300â€"is comprised in candle works, and yet it is the principal market of Eastern Siberia for trnific with the hunting tribes of the Buriats. The former, mostly nomadic, having large herds of horses and cattle, bring to market butter, which is sent on horseback to the post of Okhutsk. ’l‘he Buriats, also nomadic, bring quantities of skins of sables, foxes. martens, hares. squirrels and the like, and many of them are sold at the great fair in June, which, with May, is the active period of the year. In May the collected goods are conveyed to the seaports, whence they are sent in every direction. The merchan- dise, chiefly furs and mammoth tusks sold at fairs, amount in value to 400,000 rubles. $300,000. A New Thing in Dentiolry. A Chicago dentist has recently transferred a grinder from the mouth of a pretty young lady to the corresponding orifice of a stupid, horrid man of middle age. This man was unwilling to wear a plate to support a. single tooth, and the dentist suggested the trans- planting of a molar from aliving subject. Five weeks afterward there presented a young lady whose teeth were too many for her jaw. She could eat better than she could talk. One of her teeth was removed, placed in glycerine and kept at blood heat until the other patient could be summoned; and then it was trans- ferred to his jaw and tied to the adjacent teeth. By the third day the doctor was sat- isfied, from the lack of inflamation and the freedom from pain, that the operation would be successful. 0n the ninth day the ligatures were removed, and on the fourteenth the tooth was quite firm; from that time on it continued to grow firmer in its attachment to the jaw, until at the end of six weeks it was as useful as its neighbors. In color and size the matching was nearly perfect. The only dlflerenee between the transplanted tooth and the original one was in the shape of the roots; that of the latter was single, while the former had a double root, but the socket could hard- ly have been better filled. The Muscow mills, situated in the town- ship of Culross and owned by Mr. Andrew McLean, were destroyed by fire on Monday night last. They consisted of a saw and grist mill with two run of stones, and were insured for $5,000. Paterâ€"familias â€"â€" By that time half of us will be starved to death or frozen.

The value of this new grain to the people of Western Kansas can hardly be estimated, when considered a sure yield in any season, and it will enable the stock raiser to fatten his herds at home instead of shipping them east, as has heretofore being mostly the custom for fattening. The vast plains in the western portion of this state, so celebrated as grazing grounds by reason of the buffalo grass with which they are covered, and its ex~ cellent climate. will be doubly valuable if fur- ther experiment confirms the value of the hitherto unknown grain.- Letter to Chicago Times. The grain is called here Egyptian, or rice corn, and, so far as known, has not been cul- tivated in any other part of the United States. The seed was obtained from the display made by the Egyptian Government at the Centen- nial Exposition The name is derived from the resemblance of the grain to rice, and, so far as it has been experimented with, has proved a success, both in wet and dry sea- sons. While growing, this crop can hardly be distinguished from sorghum; the seeiyl forms at the top of the stalk in large bunches, and, as it ripens and gets heavier, bends over and hangs down, not» unlike a cluster of grapes. It belongs to the sugar-cane family, and is cultivated in the same manner and as easily as sorghum or broom corn. One bushel of the seed is sufficient for five acres, and it has been put in here with a wheat drill. In harvesting the heads only are gathered, and a good threshing machine will clean ready for market two thousands bushels a day. The specimens raised this year weigh sixty pounds to the bushel. The yield per acre in 1878 was from sixty to seventy-five bushels. This season, which, as said above, has been a very dry one, the yield was forty to forty‘five bushels per acre. No scientific analyms has been made of this new grain as yet ; indeed, it is scarcely known, except in some two or three counties in Western Kansas, where it hasbecn grown by several farmers who de- sired to find some grain that would serve in the place of corn as food for stock. The trial by these men has satisfied them that for horses, cattle, sheep. or swine, it is superior to maize, and farm animals to which it i; fed give it the preference to corn, when both are laid before them. When ground into meal the rice corn is about equal to a mix- ture one-third wheat flour and two-thirds corn-meal. In the regions of Western Kansas, where there is liable to be :1 Incl: of rainfall in any season, and where the corn especially mu'ét have plenty of moisture to produce a crop 1n paying quantities, a grain that will not mere- ly be a succudaneum, but will absolutely take the place of corn, has been experimented with dummy, the past three seasons. and it is believed to be (lexnozlszl'nted beyond a. doubt that it. will mld very much to the value of western lands. ‘IIE CflllnEfiT TOWN IN THE \VIDRLD.
