The poor animals are put into open cars, which admit of currents of air passing through the car continually, and when put in moxion the cold is intense. Now these horses remain on board from twenty-four to forty-eight, hours, without either food or w.lter, and when taken off they are so nearly exhausted that it is with difiicnlty that they can walk to the stables. We are told, indeed, that some were so near- ly perished that they could not eat for hours after .being taken 00', although every effort was made to restore them by rubbing with hot liquors, &c.

It seems that snobs in that city when they cannot induce young women to flirt with them in the streets, do not take the repulse as final in all cases, but some- times accost the objects of their admiration. The chief of the Fire Department, who is old but muscular, witnessed one of these deliberate insults, and thrashedthe offender on the spot. This feat was rewarded by a formal presentation of a. silver mounted whip. Naturally other men of pugilistic ability sought the same way to glory. Several “mashers” have since then been brulfelly punished, in one instance by a, me . About ten miles from Cincinnnati, along the Little Miami River, is a locality which has long been known to the country people- as the ‘ ‘Pottery-Field.” The ground was strewed with fragmen‘s of pottery, bones, arrow- points andother remains of like charac- ter, and the place was generally considered to he the site of an ancient workshop. In 1878, Dr. Chas. Mitz and other gentlemen interested in archmvlogy commenced a sys- tematic exploration of the country there- abouts, and during the four years that the excavations had been carried on, between 650 and 700 skeletons have been brought to light. Many of them are in an advanced state of decay and tumble to pieces on the slightest touch. while others, again, are in a very good state of preservation. It can, therefore, hardly be inferred that, because some of the skeletons are much decayed, they are necessarily very old;for, though we have well preserved remains of bones of Babylon, Nineveh and Egypt, which are cer- tainly 2,500 or 3,000 years old, stillthe cases are exceptional in which they are found in good condition after the lapse of many years. Different kinds of soil and differences in climate have much to do with the matter; for, in a. dry and equable climate, bones may resist for a long time the influences which would cause their decay, while, in a moist climate, and with sudden and extreme changes of temperature, sunh as we have here, any bone, unless buriedin pent, or sub- ject constantly to heavy pressure. so as to become partially fossilized, is liable to so on decay.~Joseph E James. Just as the morning star was rising, the music ceased, the congregation became sil- ent, and the chief dancer was led \0the cen- tre of the room, where he was elaborately costumed. Then the Priest of the Sun took him up the ladder to the roof, where, facing the east, he pronounced in measured, solemn tones a, long prayer to the waning Sun of the Old Year. Descending, he pronounced be- fore the multitude (signalizing the end of each sentence with a. clang of his rdtzles) a metrical ritual of even greater length. Then the spectators gathered around the altar, and hastily said their prayers, the sound of which reminded me of a recitation in concert in a large school-room. The sun rose, and they dispersed to their various homes. A Ceremonial of the Zuni Sun Festival. \Vhén the little fire-20d took his place in the centre of the room, no one relieved him for more than an hour and~a half, and I feared momentarily that he wouid drop from sheer exhaustion. But I learned later that this was a. trial ceremonial, and that it was one of the series of preparations which he had to pass through before becoming a. priest, to which rank his birth rendered him eligible. ‘ Mr. Cushing‘s second paperon “ My Ad. ventures in Zuni,” is a strong illustrated feature of the February Century, and con- tains a minute account of the Zuni Sun fes- Liyul, one scene of which is deécribed as follows : As we entered the closely crowded, spa- cious room into which the first party of dan- cers had retired, . a space was being cleared lengthwise through the centre, from the altar down toward the opposite end. \Vith many a hasty admonition, the Governor placed me in a. corner so near the hearth that, for a long time,controllcd by his directions, I was nearly suffocated by the heat. Along the northern side of the room were the dancers, their masks now laid aside. Conspicuous among them were the two priests, who were en- gaged in a long, rhythmical prayer, chant, or ritual, over eight or ten nearly prostrate Indians who squatted on the floor at their feet. As soon as this prayer was ended, great steaming bowls of meat, trays of paper-bread, and baskets of melons were placed in rows along the cleared space. A loud prayer was uttered over them by an old pries ', who held in his hands a bow,some arrows, and a war-club, and who wore over one shoulder a strange badge of buckskin ornamented with sea-shells and flint arrow- heads. He was followed by the Priest of the Sun. from the other end cf the room. The little fire-god then passed along the ar- ray cf vituals, u aving his torch over them, with ' which the, feast was pronounced ready. 2 Mimy of the dishes were piaccd before the dancers and priests and a group of sing« ers whose nearly nude bodies were gro- tesquely painted with streaks and daubs of white. They were gathered, rattles in hand, around an immense earthen kettle; drum at the left side of the-altar, opposite the now crouching monster. As soon as the feast was concluded, many of the women bore away on their heads, in huge bowls, such of the food as remained. Toward midnight my “ brother" explain- ed to me that, in each new room and sacred house of Zuni, the twelve “medicine” orders of the tribe were to meet. and that,as he was a priest of one of them, I could go with him, if I would sit very quiet in one corner, and not move, sleep, not speak during the entire night. The singers then drawing closely around the drum, facin one another, struck up a. loud chant, W ich, accompanied by the drumming and the rattles, filled the whole apartment with a. reverberating din, to me almost unendumble. Two by two the dancers would rise, step rapidly and high from one foot to the other, until, covered with perspiration and almost exhausted. they were relieved by others, At the close of each verse in the endless chant, the great figure by the altar would start,up from its hill-sitting posture, until its hard nearly touched the ceiling, and, witha startling series of reports, would clap its long beak and- roll its protruding eyes in. time With the music. ‘ Resurrection of a Prehibtoric Race Thrasmng the Makers. The ex-Empress Eugenie announces that she ignores the Republic and comes to dis- play her sympathy with Prince Jerome in his incarceration.

The political panic is unabated, and the fund holders are throwing their stocks on the market. The want of a guiding star is uni- versally felt. The possibility of a military pronunciamento is freely talked of. Through- out the burgeois class there is a. reaction against the regime of doctors and journalists and a yearning for a. saving sword. Gam- betta’s death has thrown the whole working machinery out of gear. Another Paris 'despatch says: It' is cer- tain that a Ministerial crisis is imminent. The differences in the Cabinet arises from the discussion of the clause in the Govern- ment bill allowing the Government to piece the Orleans Princes on the retired list. It is understood that M. Billet, Minister of War, refuses his adhesion, while the other members favor M. Ballue’s more. stringent amendment, decreeing the immediate cash- iering of the Princess. The latter is a stumbling block over which the Ministry promises to break up. A Paris despatch says it is hardly possi- ble to overate the dangerous character the Ministerial critics has assumed. There were three Cabinet councils the other day. \Vhen the news came that the special com- mittee showed a majority against the Gov- ernment, the Minister of War and the Min- ister of Marine again resigned, President Grexy urged them not to resign. He said : “You are a soldier, and you are a sailor ; I am quite sure yon would never desert your posts under fire, and if you retire now and leave me “ithout a, cabinet that would be desertion.” The result of the elections in the Bureau of the French Chamber of Deputies for mem- bers of the Committees on the bills dealing with the pretenders to the throne is four in favor of the Government bills with certain restrictions, six in favor of M. Flouquet’s and one in favor of M. Ballue’s. Eighty votes were given for members favoring the Government bills and a hundred and twenty for those favoring M. Flouquet’s bills. The ministers haVe decided at a. recent sitting of the committee elected on Tuesday they willexplain their policy regarding pretend: ers.

THE PANIC IN FRANCE -â€"â€"â€"_u 4‘-» DOWâ€"â€" Plus the Ninth’s Yacht. About twenty-four yea s ago P vpe Pius the lX., after his return to Rome from Gaeta, determined to have his own steam yacht, to be kept in readiness should he find it necessary 10 again quit the Vatican. Ac- cordingly a Commission of oflicers was sent over to London to obtain the assistance of the British Admiralty ; and under their guidance a handsome, strong steam yacht, the Immacolata Concezione, about 600 tons, was built by Messrs. Mare 8: Co. The ves- sel was equipped as a corvette of war, with eight large rifled brass guns, with a full equipment of small arms. No expense was spared in fitting out the vessel in the .best style at a total cost of about £50,000. In due time the corvette arrived at (Jivita Vec- chia, Where she was received by the Pope and duly blessed and anointed. Afterward she remained in the harbor there in daily readiness for his Holiness for about twenty years, with a full stafi‘ of oflicers and men. After the fall of the temporal power the cor- vette was removed to the Mediterranean, and recently to the Thames, where she was, a few days since, with all her fittings, sold by public auction in the Admiralty Court. “\Vell, well l" mused the Old Wolf as he trotted homewnrds alone, “if it is sad to be old and tough, it is likewise dangerous to be young and tender, and after all 1 will make the best of my lot.

There are now doing business in this country and Can- ada 515 street railways, employing about 35,000 men. They run 18,000 cars, and more than 100,000 horses are in daily use. Calculating that the average life of a horse in street railway service is four years, it makes the consumption of horses 25,000 per year. To feed this vast number of horses requires annually 150,000 tons (f hay and 11,000,000 bushels of grain. These com- panies own and operate over 3,060 miles of truck.

The carbonic gas enters the leaves through multitudes of small openings, called stomata. or breathing pores. The microscope discloses more than a hundred thousand of these po'es upon a single square inch of leaf surface. Only the green portion of the leaves, and under ,the influ- ence of sunlight, have the power of decom- posing the carbonic acid gas, reserving the carbon to produce organic compounds, to becomea, part of the plant, while the oxy- gen set free passes again into the atmos- phere. There are some plants that have no chlorophyll or leaf green, and such are not able to decompose carbonic acid. They are called parasites, and absorb the carbon they need in the forms of organic compounds that have been produced in the green leaves of true working plants. .Dr. R. D. Halstead gives some valuable facts in agricultural chemistry in the Ameri- can Agriculturist for February, from which we clip the following: About hall~ the weight of the dry sub- stance of ordinary plants consists of carbon. This element, when in a free state, 1s a so- lid. It is familiar'to uses charcoal, am thracite coal, black-lead, lamp-black, and diamond. The presence of carbon in plants is made known by a process of incomplete burning, as in the preparation of charcoal. Carbon, in its pure and uncombined forms, is very indestructible, excepting when or posed to a high heat; then it combines with oxygen, and forms carbonic acid gas. This is the familiar gas of soda water foun- ains. It is produced by decaying vegeta» tion, given ofi‘ the breath of animals, and is the deadly choke damp of coal mines. Carbonic acid gas forms, on an average, about four-hundredths of one per cent. (.04 °) of the atmosphere. The carbon ne- cessary for the production of the annual growth of vegetation is derived from the carbonic acid gas of the atmosphere. The supply of this gas to the air is constantly kept up by the oecay and burning of plants. In this way the same particles of carbon may be taken up by a vegetable,and, after it has J AAAAAA J 7 . . , 7°... .. â€"v-o évvul uuicuu. The Creoles are valorous but unreflecting.

Month after month followed the October uprising without one ‘of those inci- dents that would have succeeded in the his- tory of an earnest people. In March, 1769, Foucault covertly deserted his associates, and denounced them, by letter, to the French cabinet. In April the Spanish frig- ate sailed from New Orleans.

Not afort was taken, though‘ it was pro. buble not one could have withstood assault. Not a spade was struck into the ground, or an obstruction planted, at an) strategic point. At length the project of forming a repub- lic was revived and was given definite shape and advocacy. But priceless time had been thrown away, the opportune moment had passed, an overwhelming Spanish army and fleet was approaching, and the spirit of the people was paralyzed. 'i‘he’ revolt against the injustice and oppression of two royal owers at (rice, by ‘ the first European co- ony that entertained the idea of proclaim- ing her independence,” was virtually at an end. L It was the misfortunes of the Creoles to be wanting in habits of mature thought and of self. control. They had not made that study of reciprocal justice and natural rights which becomes men who would resisttyi‘an- ny. They lacked the steady purpose bred of daily toil. With these qualities, the insur- rection of 1768 might have been a revolu- tion for the overthrow of French and Spanish misrule and the establishment and main- tenance of the right of selfigovornment. r‘hL, ILAAL, Chemétry of the Farm and Garden.
