Ten pairs of sparrows would therefore de

Corn in Hills and in Drills. Tho
Kansas Agricultural College last year
instituted careful experiments to deter
mine the relative advantage of planting
corn in hill ami in drills. Tho plants in
the drills were cultivated ten inches apart,
and jn hills the same number of stalks to
the acre.' Both were treated in the same
way, hoeing once and cultivating twice.
The corn was hnsked in November, ami
that in dri'ls yielded seveuty-oue bushels
to the acre, while that in hills yielded
only sixty-two and a half bushels.
Care of Harness. The practice of
washing harness with warm water and
soap is very damaging unless a coat of
oil is applied immediately after. No
harness is ever so soiled that a damp
eponge will not remove the dirt ; yet,
even when tho sponge is applied, it is
important to apply a slight coat of oil
by the use of a second sponge. All var
nishes, and all blacking that contains the
properties of varnish, should be avoided.
When a harness loses its luster and
turns brown it should be given a new
coat of grain black ; first wash the grain
surface thoroughly with potash water to
kill the greaso, and, after the application
of the grain black, apply oil and tallow
to the. surface. This will' ..fasten the
color and make the leather flexible.
Neatsfoot oil only should bo used on har
ness, and no more should be applied to
the leather than, it will readily absorb.

Longfellow Embarrassed at a Loudon
Banquet.
"When Longfellow visited London, a
dinner was given to him at the Langham
Hotel. It was arranged that this dinner
should be nnlike the usual semi-publio
banquet, inasmuch as there should be no
addresses and no proposing of toasts.
There were many distinguished guests
present. They were each in turn pre
sented to Longfellow. Then came the
dinner. It was excellent. A bright and
general conversation had sprung up un
trammeled by this man'B fear that he
would have to speak on his legs, and the
other man's fear that he wouldn't. But
there was a well-known old gentleman at
the table for whom this scone of content
ment haul no attractions. Mr. S. C. Hall
suddenly rose in the midst of this happy
throng, and, thundering on the table, be
gan to speak, ne , would not be put
down, les, he knew what the agree
ment was ; but he also knew that at their
board sat the most eloquent of English
men, and he called upon Mr. Gladstone
to say a few words in honor of the great
est American poet Mr. Hall had done
his ruthless work well. Ho sat down
amid a , loud cheer, aud presently Mr.
Gladstone rose to still louder plaudits.
The orator himself was taken aback, but
he was equal to the occasion, and he paid
a glorious tribute of eloquent praise to
the poet. While Gladstone sat down
Longfellow stood up. Thunders of cheers
greeted the grand old man, but the grand
old man was very miserable. If they
had given him a "pen and called on him
for a poem he would have done well
enough ; but, asked for a speech, and
without notice, Mr. Longtellow was
nonplussed. He opened his mouth.
No sound came forth. A second time
ho essayed to sieak, with a like result.
At last he said, 44 Gentlemen, I thank
you, and it was understood that there
wero to be no speeches." Cor. New

Expert uess of Michigan Log Boilers.
The wonderful skill and agility of the
lumbermen who ran logs and ratts down
the rivers of Michigan has long been
viewed with surprise. At Manistee, a
short time ago, there was a log-rolling
contest, which is thus described by the
Times and Standard :
The contestants were each provided
with a smooth pine log about sixteen
inches in diameter, and a polo with a
spike and hook at one end. They also
wore log-drivers' boots, with spikes about
one-half inch long set in the bottom.
The contest took place in the Manistee
river, where there is a current of about
three miles an hour, and long before the
hour tho banks were lined by thousands
of spectators anxious to witness the per
formance. At a given 6igual they appeared on
tho bank, coatletw, and with a sash
around the waist, aud each steppe! upon
his log, and with his pole shoved oil' into
the current. They whirled tho logs
around, stood on one foot, sat down,
kneeled down, had down, rolled over on
tho log, drank lying down, drank lying
on their backs, and, in short, did more
than most pecplo can do on tho solid
floor.
Finally one jumped up ontq the log
with the other and deliberately sent his
log whirling to the other side of tho
river with Ins pike-polo, and now com
menced the strife in earnest. To roll
the other off the log. one would set the
log whirling like the shaft of a mill
wheel until the water was covered with
foam from the whirl, when of a sudden
he would stamp his spikes into tho log
and stop it so that it would appear as
solid as the eternal rocks ; it would not
even tremble. Then he would start
rolling in the other direction until the
waters would be whirled into foam again,
and both men would be running at tho
top of their speed to keep on top of the
log, when in would go the spikes and the
log would be stopped as if held in a
vise. This was repeated a dozen times,
but to . no purpose, each watched the
other, f(ot and foot came down together.
No soldier ever kept step better, and
each held his place on the log until they
had been swept down the river over half
a mile, and past the bridge, when one
threw his pike-pole away and tho other
followed suit, and now neither had even
a balancing-iole, and tho contest grow
sharper than ever. Tho log was whirled
one way, stopped suddenly, then whirled
the other, and at times the direction of
it.j roll would be changed so suddenly
that it was difficult for the eye to follow
its courso, and so evenly matched wero
the men (they wero the Wheeler broth
ers) that we doubt if either would have
proved the victor, but the log floated
under the boom of a vessel, and, while
whirling, struck, and one went in, while
the other caught in the rigging of the
vessel and saved himself.

NIKOPOLIS.
. )'! Htr--iioll
The Htorjr of Ita Capture by the IluaaUn
TerrlHo jribtUiff f itj ltoU MtleM, J ( ' )
The following account of the desperate
assault) upon, aud k capture of Nikopolis
by the Bussians is furnished by a war
correspondent of the New York Hera Id:
. , The batteries at Turuu-Magurelli had
reduced Nikopolis to ruins, but the two
hills on which tho town was built com
pletely sheltered the Turkish forces from
the Bussian fire. Therefore, it became
necessary to attack the town and position
from tho Bulgarian side of the river.
For this purpose a considerable force of
infantry was masked west of Sistova,
and, during tho concentration, these
troops served to cover the crossing.
When the two corps hail established
themselves in the direction of Biela and
Tirnova, the covering body was prepared
to move on Nikopolis. , 1
, But, in the meantime, the Turks were
strengthening their position and prepar
ing to defeat the clearly apparent object
of their enemy. All the indications,
therefore, pointed to a bloody struggle
for the possession of Nikopolia ; and, to
speak truly, neither side seemed anxious
to begin it. The threatened failure of
the Sistova bridge, and the frequent in
terruptions of traffic necessitated by tho
repairs forced the llnsiuans to make the
attack.
The'extensive swamp'and lake west of
Sistova interfered considerably with the
Bussian advance, although it afforded
a decided protection against a Turkish
attack from . that side. The , Cossacks
hal boon skirmishing and scouting for
more than two days in the direction of
Plevna and Nikopolis, . and their opera
tions and activity masked the prepara
tions of the attacking column very ef
fectually. '
Finally, the order for the Bussian ad
vance was given, and, after an arduous
march around the lake and toward Ni
kopolis, the contending forces oamo into
collision. The Turks had taken the
precaution to cover their position by
double hues of pickets, supported at
intervals by several companies of picked
troops. This was to guard against the
raids of tho Corisacks, whoso enterprise
has impressed itself thoroughly upon
the Turkish mind. These lines of pick
ets made what might be termed a formal
show of resistance, and slowly retired
on the main body. ; As soon as the
Bussians came within effective raugo
of tho Turkish position, they were
met by, n severe artillery fire, which,
however, did not check their advance,
and to which they replied with a still more
formidable lire, liie Turks, being post
ed on a commanding position, had a con
siderable advantage, and as the Bussians
approached frightful gaps were made in
their ranks by the Turkish artillery.
With surprising valor, however, they
continued to approach the heights, and,
as soon they came within rifle range,
they opened a terrible firo on the Turks.
For half an hour this musketry duel con
tinued, with unabated vigor.
The Bussians in the meantime devel
oped their front so as to approach their
left in the direction of the Ozin river.
This was a movement which threatercd
tho Turkish line of retreat to the south
westward and westward. About midday
on Sunday the order for tho assault was
given, and the whole Bussian line, sup
ported by several batteries of artillery
advantageously posted, stormed the
heights occupied by the Turks.
During tho awful climb in die fuco of
a deadly firo, the Bussians suffered ter
ribly, while the Turks, stubbornly de
fending their osition, sustained equal
losses; but the onset was so impetuous
that the Turks could not withstand it,
and were driven headlong over the crest
of the hills toward Nikopolis, followed
by the Cossacks aud detachments of
light infantry. '
After obtaining possession of the
heights commanding the town, at a ter
rible cost, it is true, the Russians virtu
ally had Nikopolis at their mercy. The
Turks, finding their line of retreat threat
ened, abandoned the town. It was filled
with Turkish dead. Many wounded
were also found in the streets and in the
houses, where thy had been abandoned
by the Turks in ' tho haste of their re
treat. The Klllod at St. John.
Even at this late day the number of
persons that met their death is uncer
tain. Eighteen persons, at least, died
sudden deaths in connection with the
fire. Out of these only eight were taken
to the dead-house, and only two inquests
wero held, the Coroner deeming it un
necessary to hold an inquiry in the other
cases. Among the first to bo killed were
Garret Cotter and Peter McGovern, who
were kilhxl by' the cornice falling off
Adams' building. In the Beed House,
on Main street, Lowi r Cove, three ladies
were burned to death. These were Mrs.
Beed, mother of ex-Mayor Heed, and
tho Misses Clark, Mr. Heed's aunts.'
3Ir. John E. Turnbull and others made
desperate efforts to save the ladies, but
all attempts were unavailing. Their
bodies were never recovered. Capt.
William Firth, the well-known Bhip
chondler, also met his , death in tho
flames. His remains were found on
Prince William street, near Barnes Ho
tel. He left a wife and family. Mr.'
Samuel Corbitt, cabinet-maker, on
Princo William street, is among the miss
ing, and there is no doubt whatever that
ho met a horrible death. Mr. Joseph
Bell, painter, cannot be found, and he,
too, has becomo a victim to the terrible
disaster. He was a married man. Two
persons wero drowned in the harbor
while endeavoring to save their property
in boats, tho bottom of the crait break
ing and the boat filling. So great was
tho excitement that, although the boat
was only a few yards from the vessels in
the stream, both of its occupants had
sunk before any effort was made to res
cue them. These were James Kemp and
Thomas Holmes. Another victim was
Timothy O'Leary, an old man who kept
an apple-stand at the foot of Dock street,
and whoso body was never found. There
is no question, however, but that he was
burned in Drury lane. Mrs. Coholan,
wife of William Coholan, Smyth street,
nlso perished in the flames. Her body
was never found. Mrs. Bradley, who
lived on Princess street, also met her
death on this never-to-be-forgotten
night. Some human bones were found
in the doorstep of her house, and it is
thought that these were what remained
of h( r. A young man named Bichard
Thomas was burned. His remains were
found in the rains of B. O'Brien's tav
ern on Germain street. A young man,
Boberfc' Fbf;l belonging 'to the larsli
road, is known to have perished' in i the
flames. , Two men have Ma ' killed by
the walls since tho day,of the flrv ' John
Bobs,' a tailor, who was .badly burnod
during the fire, died in the Public Hos
pital. -1 Thero are one or two others that

An I U-Fated, Massachusetts Town.
For a peaceful, old country town, tho
record of Northampton, Mass., for the
past half dozen years makes a most
amazing story. Back in 1870 the place
bonded itself for $i00,000 to aid the
never-built Massachusetts Central road.
This is reckoned a dead loss, and the
total payment, interest and all, will be
SCOO.tXX). In that year the Edwards
Church was burned, with ft loss of
$72,000 above insurance. In 1874 was
the Mill river disaster, by which fifty
ono lives were lost, a great deal of dam
age done to manufacturing establish
ments, several industries driven away,
and $0,000 worth of town property lost.
Then the town had to pay $10,000 for the
freeing of Hadley bridge and 0,000 for
that at South Hadley falls, i Then came
the financial panic which has produced
not less than 1(52.000,000 of failures there,
including one company whose capital of
$."100,000 has been wiped out. Then
the old bank was robbed of about
$1,000,000, and the old church, theprido
of the place, was burned. Now the nad
ley bridge has been carried off by a tor
nado. Every injurious influence, either
of design or accident malice, ignorance,
fire, wind and water-seems to luive been
spent upon thi3 devoted town. By actual
computation it is , reckoned : that two
thirds of the amount of tho grand ; list
has been lost there in six years. 1 ; : '
