The flood in the Thames at Chat ham, Ont., carried away the Erie and Huron railroad bridge the other morning. Miss Nannie J. Coleman, of Cadiz, Ohio, has been appointed to a clerk ship in the Interior Department at Washington. Many other great politicians agree with Thurman, who expresses the opinion that Blaine is the greatest of living politicians. In the Ottawa, (Ont.,) district, the hop crop has been ravaged by a small green fly, and the yield will be far below the average. Plantebs at Montgomery, Ala., are very anxious about the cotton crop. They claim that worms have appeared on many plantations. The board of health of Pensacola has issued an order that yellow fever infected vessels arriving shall remain at quarantine until frost comes. From Nebraska City we learn that the prospect for corn bids fair to ex ceed the crop of last year. The pros pect for winter fruit is also good.

It is stated that the much-abused sparrows made short work of the lo custs in many places. They ate all they wanted of them, and killed the balance for fun. Two hundred and sixty European plants have become inhabitants of America, but it is claimed that it has taken two hundred and thirty years to accomplish it. Mrs. Mary Shaw Smith, of Port land, Oregon, haB written a spirited reply to an article in the Oregonian which took exceptions to the literary ability of women.

Recent reports from Paris say that the French column, after an unsuc cessful campaign in upper Senegam bia, has been attacked with typhus fever. The situation is becoming grave. A Georgian who was fined $40. for carrying concealed weapons has since tied his pistol to a ten-foot pole, which he carries on high with him wherev er he goes. He means to be known as a-law abiding citizen. Adjutant-Gen'l Drum pronoun ces Robert Lincoln the best secretary of war we have had since Jefferson Davis.

The Chicago Herald is responsible for the following reference. If the Richmond editors will refer to that standard work entitled, "English as She is Spoke," they will find the fol lowing: "He was fighted in a duel." Dubuque, Iowa, had the other day the most destructive wind and rain storm of the season, demolishing almost everything in its course. Per haps the greatest damage was done to grain. Thousands of acres were beat en flat. Miss Stone, the daughter of Stone Pasha, who wbb formerly an Ameri can general and recently in the ser vice of the Khedive, is said to be the beBt Arabic scholar of her sex and one of the most accomplished linguists in the world. Boston has a new style of counter feit coin which is being circulated quite freely. French "dix centimes" pieces are washed with silver, when they make to all appearance very good half dollars. They are worth two cents each. A large tank at the California powder mill, near Cleveland, Ohio, exploded the other day, with terrific force. The cause is unknown. One man's hands were badly burned by flying fire. Windows were shattered for miles around. The body of Isaac P. Chidister was found floating down the Platte river the other night. The deceased lived near Kearney, and had been missing some days. It is supposed he had a fit and fell into the river while trying to catch drift wood. The President has approved the sentence of dismissal in the case of Lieut. N. Holines, 13th infantry, re cently tried at Fort Bliss, Texas, for duplicating pay accounts.

The first of a series of three games of the exciting contest of base ball between the Union Pacifies and the Port Hurons, was witnessed the other day at Omaha by about 2,000 people, and resulted in fayor of the Port Hu rons by a score of 8 to 5. There waB a wonderful shower of ice on the lake at Chicago one even ing laBt week. Nuggets of ice fell as large as geese eggs. One great mis sile was preserved and brought into the harbor. It was as large as a brick and weighed two pounds. At Champaign, III., the other day a terrific hailstorm occurred, sending down stones as large as bricks, break ing through roofs of houses, and crashing through weather boarding of the side-walls of houses. Great dam age is reported from the storm. A stage robbery in Montana was prevented by the simple expedient of J. McCormick opening fire on the would-be robbers. A single six shooter, in the hands of a paBBenger on the box, did the business. It is a wonder this hasn't been tried before. Parties in searching for gold in the highlands of Boone county, Ky., and of southeastern Indiana, claim that they have found the precious article by making slight excavations. In one case of an excavation of about two feet deep they found $8 worth of gold. It is not true that the President has abandoned his contemplated visit to Yellowstone park, but on the contrary it appears to be well under stood at Washington that he will leave about the first of August accompanied by Wade Hampton and Secretary Lincoln. A very good way to judge the quality of character is to ascertain the nature and proportion of crime and uy wnom commmea. mere were a few days ago in the state prison at Joliet, 111., 1,387 males, and 28 females. Perhaps that is a very fair proportion the world over. Bridget Fox, an excentric old maid of Burlington, Iowa, was attacked the other morning in her yard by two young men, knocked down and rob bed of $1,500 which was secreted in her clothing. She is a miser, and her habit of carrying large sums was known to many. The robbers made their escape. In an article on tramps the Inter Ocean puts the matter in the neatest way we have seen it. It says "the man who can work and ought to work and wont work ought to be made to work." This sort of doctrine would call in the power of the state, a thing that ought to be done when we have so many able bodied men constantly on the tramp going from door to door begging their daily sub sistence. Fremont Tribune. The coming election in Utah is at tracting public attention to the work ings of the Edmonds bill for the eradication of polygamy. It is one of those problems of statesmanship, however, that will require considera ble more study than has yet been given it The huge general public in these United States seem to consider it not worth their while to fairly grap ple with a wrong until it has become of gigantic proportions, and requires something of the heroic to bring it to the bar of public justice. Polygamy has become an enormous institution. Under the guise of religion it is im pressed upon the common mind rath er as a dnty, and all the ardor of the religious sentiment is aroused in its defence as though it was a direct command of God. Then, the evil is spreading rapidly, so that its solntion will now involve other territories than Utah, notably Wyoming, Colo rado and Idaho. One of these fine mornings, thirty or forty yeara to come, perhaps, the country will be startled into activity on this subject, and then it will be settled, after the American style. July 18th, '83, was a gala day for Denver, being the occasion of the opening of the second annual exposi tion of the national mining and in dustrial exposition. The ceremony began by forming an immense pro cession of carriages containing mem bers of the board of trade, officers of the state aud city government, and distinguished guests, followed by a representative procession of trades and industries, which passed through the principal streets to the exposition grounds. Chaffee's light artillery fired a national salute of thirty guns. The following exercises were had: Prayer by Bishop Simpson. Gov. Grant and Mayor Routt, made ad dresses of welcome. Hon. Warner of New York made the oration. Rev. C. H. Marshall pronounced the bene diction. The order was given for starting the 250 horse power engine and the exposition was declared open. Tfe Sfext Presldemtial Electlea. There will be 501 votes in the next electoral college, 251 being necessary for a choice. The fifteen states of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illi nois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne braska, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wisconsin and Rhode Island furnish precisely the requisite number. If the republicans can carry all of these they can afford to let the democrats have the other twenty-three, includ ing Indiana, New Jersey, Nevada, Colorado, California, Oregon and Virginia. The only doubtful states in the list of fifteen enumerated above are New York and Ohio. If the re publicans should loose New York and Ohio they would have to carry all the states mentioned in the second list, and eight more votes besides, to win. St. Louis Globe'Democrat. "Years ago, many, I learned that to take a pail, go to.the hen roost, gather some of the fresh dung, pour in water, and stir till of the consist ency of thin cream, take an old cup, dip out and pour some of this mix ture on each vine and hill, filling up with water as you dip out, was what the enemies did not like ; and, what it does not kill, leave for parts un known. Then you ought to see how the vines put on new life, smile, spring up and grow with a rush. Here you do two good things, say "Adieu, Mr. Bug," and "Grow, Mrs. Vine." Caution! Don't make your medicine too strong. If you do, you'll kill your pet vines. I have never found in all my gardening ex perience anything to equal this. Bugs are thick this season, but I thinned my share yesterday." E. S. Phelps in Nebraska Farmer. News from Reading, Pa., says that eight boilers of the anthracite fur naces, owned by the Philadelphia & Reading railroad company, and oper ated by Wm. M. Kauffman, exploded the other morning, reducing the fur nace to a mass of ruins. When the explosion took place many of the em ployes were outside of the building. Frank Walt man was instantly killed, and others mortally wounded. The force of the explosion shook the earth aud aroused the people for miles around. Damage to the furnace will reach many thousand dollars. Mrs. Sarah Pratt, second wife of a well known farmer living in Stone Creek Valley, four miles west of New Philadelphia, O., last week locked a seven-year-old step-daughter in a dark room, and, entering with a heavy stick beat the girl insensible. The child was found soon after lying in the back yard with a terrible gash in the forehead, the bridge of her nose broken, and the lips cut through to the teeth. There is no chance for her recovery. The step-mother was im mediately arrested and placed in jail. From what we have seen and learn of the crops in Nebraska the industrious and careful farmers have no just cause to complain. Throughout the state the rye and barley crops are said to be extra good. So are the wheat and corn crops pronounced good, and the acreage of the latter estimated at about double that of previous years. True in some localities the crops have been devastated, and many farmers will be great losers, but compared with the crops of the state it is small, and the prospect on the whole is yet good. Rightfully New York is termed an Empire state. Her area is almost equal to that of all England, and yet she has just 47,000 square miles,while Georgia has 58,000, Nebraska 75,000, Kansas 81,000, Minnesota 83,000, Ore gon 95,000, Colorado and Nevada each 106,000, Dakota 150,000, Califor nia 188,000, and Texas 274,000 square miles of area, the last alone large enough to swallow up the whole state of New York almost six times over. BALTIMORE'S BIRO. Oriole 8mMer Hlght'i CaraiTal which will be a Series ef Striking HowIUm. Semethimg of the TJapuaUed Programme which is being Imaged, Baltimore evidently lakes to mystic pageantry and its attendant splendors with, a vim equal to that manifested in Mardi Gras jollities in New Or leans, and an enterprise never before equaled anywhere in such sort of thing. The preparations, for this year's festivities, which will embrace the three days from September 11th to 13th inclusive, have already been actively under way for two months or more. In the way of a pageant, it would be difficult to imagine a more extensive or brilliant programme than that laid out. The number of tableau cars will be double that eyer before attempted in any single parade else where, and in dimensions, gorgeous construction and superb finish will certainly bear off the palm of the world. The wonderful strides which have of late been made with electric light will be turned to striking advantage as this character of illumination will be introduced in many noyel forms. The first night's display, made in honor of the arrival of Lord Balti more, will be as unique as it will be magnificent. It is proposed to arm the military with electric lights in at least ten different colors ; to place the powerful electric focus light at many points ; to fairly turn night into day, and in many more ways make the night a memorable one. The feature of this year's Oriole will be the night displays, and it has well been termed a Summer Night's Carnival. As usual, the B. & O. is foremost in making every possible ar rangement for the transportation of its patrons, and in nothing will there bo a facility lacking to insure the ut most comfort and complete satisfac tion. The rates by the Baltimore & Ohio will be down, way down, and the limit of time on round trip tickets all the most exacting can demand. It will be well to jot down the date in some convenient place Septomber 11th, 12th and 13th. Mary Smith, an assisted Irish im migrant, appeared in the county court at Chicago the other day. She was violently insane. She has been in the city only a few days, and is with out money, friends or acquaintances in America. She is seventy years old. Another case that of Hanuah Calla ghan, who arrived in this country a short time ago as an assisted immi grant by the anchor line, is inBaue at Philadelphia. She was in a lunatic asylum in Ireland, has no means, and is nnable to work. Additional news from the recent storm in Missouri places Joplin and Webb City in the lead in damage and destruction. In the mining region of southwest Missouri the rainfall was so great that the mines were flooded to such an extent that it will take a month to put them in working order. Several thousand miners are now out of work. The wind and hail did great damage to buildings and crops. From the brotherhood of telegraph ers of New York comes a petition demanding at least that one day in seven be accorded them for rest, and the abolition of Sunday work, that eight hours shall constitute a day's work, and seven hours a night's work ; that both sexes shall receive equal pay for equal work ; that an increase of 15 per cent on all salaries now paid be granted. Rev. Shaw, acting American consul at Laredo, was attacked the other night in his office by a mob of Mexi cans and beaten nearly to death, and the furniture and papers belonging to the consulate destroyed. Sbaw after wards revived sufficiently to give an account of the outrage, but in a short time again became insensible, and at laBt accounts was still unconscious. Mark Twain has celebrated his three children's birthdays recently by three granite watering troughs, in scribed with their names, along a much traveled road near Elmira, N. Y. In future days, when bis dry jokes have ceased to please or to be remembered, these moist ones will give pleasure to "man and beast." We learn from Erie, Pa., that a strange species of catterpillars have appeared and attacked the fruit trees and are eating up the leaves and it is feared they will attack the fruit next. The swarm of locusts which appeared in Chautauqua Co., N. Y., is moving west along the lake shore, consuming all vegetation before them. In Central Kentucky recently the biggest cattle purchase bas been con cluded embracing 1,100 high-grade and short-horn bulls for the improve ment of the 100,000 Texas cattle on the 500,000 acre tract of the Franklin Land and Cattle Company, located in the Texas Panhandle. The company is an English syndicate. Tke Mmwima Iflmlberry Tree. Mr. Editor : The tree peddlar has come to be almost as much feared and abhorred among farmers as the light ning rod man. Many a shaved one chuckled over the 6tory making the rounds in the papers of the cunning Frenchman who sold in New York city young wild prairie rose bushes for blue roses, charging from $1 to $5 per. root according to "him bloom once, him twize. and him zree times a year, and him every months ;" until a New York horticulturist bad him arrested. But there are surely hon orable men in the nursery business, and all we need is to be careful to deal only with such. The writer of this found in one of the most prominent German papers of the country, Die Deutsche Warte, of Chicago, the following which no doubt will be useful to many of the numerous readers of the Journal. "The Mennonites, who a few years ago emigrated from Russia to this country, brought slips and seeds along with them of a dwarf kind of Mul berry tree. Some enterprising nur sery men entered upon the business securing to themselves numerous free advertisements. The leaves were praised as feed for the silk worm, the berry for the table and the wood as good fuel, and as durable building material. A correspondent of tho Sural New Yorker who applied to Prof. Budd of the Iowa Agricultural College bas received the following reply: "liaised Irom seed tho trees Srow in various shape with leaves of iffereut form and berries of divers kind and color. If one wants it for feed for 6ilk worms or for the sake of the berries it is better to raise it from slips. We have sent this spring from our trial grounds several hundreds of plants raised from slips, js eany every slip grew into a dense bush of two or three feet high. 1 do not believe that they will anywhere prove useful or valuable as trees for fuel or building material. Last year I attended a For rester's convention held on the grounds of the Agricultural College near Moscow iu Kussia. Several hun dred Forresters from all parts of the great empire, were present. Every one laughed at the idea that the little Mulberry tree (morus tartarica) sho'd as a useful wood producer compare with their oak, birch, elm, linde, white poplar or riga pine I I saw it in southern Russia as a low, bushy tree which like the Morua Multicalus dis tinguishes itself in that it sends its branches from its crown upward. On the great plains of the west tho tree may prove useful as an ornamental one, and for windbreaks, and its ber ries may be good as birds food and partly for family use." So far Prof. Budd. The writer of thiB, Mr. Editor, bas received glowing descriptions of the Mulberry tree that it would beat all and every thing and few things besides. Receiving these statements with a good many grains of allowance I purchased only a few (7). They all grew and some came up this spring from the root and they are now all vigorously growing, but I shall not plant any more, but will wait and see. A. H. Seme Theagkts om the Kinder partem. Whatever lives must develop itself; as development is life, so the cessa tion of development is death. In intelligent creatures develop ment is the necessity of nature, but with man necessity becomes freedom, for he can hinder or further his own development at will. The fundamen tal idea of Froebel(the founder of the Kindergarten) is to educate man to freedom. He who can develop him self unhindered is happy, is free. A people to whom this possibility is given may be called a happy and free people. But this is only possible through education. As it iB the prob lem of the world's spirit to conquer and explain matter, so it is the prob lem of the individual spirit to make all phenomena, even all obstacles, serviceable to the aim of his own de velopment iu the arena of life. But for this is necessary an exalted enthu siasm for the God-like and noble, a developed intelligence, pleasure iu thinking, aud a will full of the germs of life. The aspiration to the God like and noble is the iuner more beau tiful uature of man, aud this must be fostered. Empty words and phrases must be avoided if we wish to devel op intelligence. The pupil must be led to observe what he is learning, not merely to look at it, but to look into it. The receptivity of the mind has hitheito been cultivated; Froebel would have us cultivate its inborn power of production. He would have ub unfold, not mould ; he would have us water, guide aud support the tree, not prop it or force it. This view of education, as well as the in sight that the earliest youth is the most important season of life, led Froebel to the idea of the Kindergar ten. He emphasizes the difference between instruction and develop ment, a discrimination of the greatest importance, in the following words : "I separate instruction from develop ment very sharply. The instructed mind may be compared to a river which flows around the cliffs and im pediments, narrows and widens ac cording to necessity,crook8 and bends, and skillfully and smoothly creeps to the ocean. Such a stream hedged in by cliffs and impeded by rocks, is not adapted to commerce ; it loses its idea. its aim, for the aim of the living flood is to be the means of culture. The developed man is like a stream whose ) powerful rush demolishes the rocks, levels the hills, pulses like a great vein through the earth, drawing thou sands of cities to its brink, and trac ing ont the highway of commerce and culture. If a man is developed like the last mentioned stream ho knows but one goal to his life growth of toe soui enaiess development. - Is- Columbus ready for a Kinder garten ? The first step in our educa tional ladder is wanting. Come, let us live for our children. Teacher. For the Journal. Health Kotes. Sit, stand and walk erect. Look out of the window and observe the passers-by. How many young per sons walk stoopingly ! There goes a young man in a wagon ; it iB a shame how he stoops. A line drawn in the plane of his shoulder blades and neck, and extended, would be more nearly horizontal than perpendicular. It is a creeping, crouching, lazy attitude, not indicative of a manly spirit. Think of those poor lungs of his. A man needs room to work, so do the lungs and so does the stomach. That stomach, how it must be jammed in between the other organs. Lungs, heart, stomach, liyer, pancreas, all clamoring for more room. Yet room is denied. And just think, how much room Is lying around loose. Plenty of room in these prairies. Straighten up, young man I Straighten up, young woman ! Many are the ills and aches that may be avoided by the habitually erect posture. It tends in general to a morn robust health and thereby diminishes the chances of sickness. It promotes respiration, circulation and digestion, and prevents biliousness, headache and constipation. The thousand ills that woman is subject to, are in a considerable meas ure the result of sitting lazily on cushioned chairs, lounges, &c. The spinal column, instead of forming the double curve with the concavity in the back, forms an outline which might be called the cat's back. It is like a rainbow. Straighten np. When you sit, sit. When you lie, lie ! Do not mix the two. How prodigal people are with that most precious treasure, health. How they throw it away, waste it reck lessly, squander it thoughtlessly, until they are honey-combed through and through! He that hath ears to bear let him hear. FIIVAL. PKOOF. U. S.
