The : following telegram fronv Tremont, Ohio, signed "R. B. Hayes," was received at Mr.- Wheeler's home a few hours after his death. 'Mrs. Hayes and I have heaFd with deepest sorrow of the death of our friend, Mr. Wheeler. "I will attend the funeral with my son." ' C William A.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM, AND GARDEN, s :The Value of Pond Muck. . Pond muck varies considerably: in character as the nature of the soil from which it is derived differs and the quan tity of organic matter in it. - It usually jcontaina a -large proportion ofjnineral matter derived from the washing of the -oitj-and the -organic matter varies as the pond may have contained, various Kinds of animal . matter and aquatic plants. Usually it "contains about as much fertil izing matter as- common yard manure ; hence it is well ;worth the trouble of draining off the water and gathering the sediment. It should be composted with lime and coarse litter and left to, decom pose three or four months, after which it makes a very useful top dressing for grass lands. UTeio York Times.. . I : ' ' Overfed.

Mr. Stephen Powers, in - his' recently , published work on the American merino, j says : j"The sheep of the careless farmer j is nearly always infested with'! the tick u f (Melophagus ovis) and . less frequently j with the louse. , When the number of j ticks becomes very large they prevent growth in lambs or the making of much flesh onthe older animals. The best mode of eradicating ticksv lice, and itch 1 among sheep is . to dip - them soon after ! shearing in spring, not omitting the lambs at the same time. There are va rious solutions used as "sheep dips, but tobacco .and sulphur are . usually pre ferred and less dangerous than the arseni cal compounds often recommended. To make a dipping solution, - use thirty-five pounds of good strong tobacco and ten ounds Of sulphur to every hundred gal ods r of .water. The tobacco must be steeped several days : to extract its strength, and the sulphur stirred ia when the liqSjid is farmed up for use, ; f The size and capacity of the vats and tanks will depend upon the ' number of sheep and lambs to bo dipped, Every member of the flock old and young should be dipped in the" solution, the nose and face exepted, and held in it for a half min ute. Then set on its feet where the liquid will drain off and run back in" the tank to prevent unnecessary waste. ' The dip-r ping liquid should be kept warm, or at a temjferaturepf about 20 degrees, while in use. . .Where large flocks of several thou sand head are kept, as in California andf other Western States, : swimming baths are often provided and the sheep driven through tnem, one or more at a timer thftrebv savincr the trouble of catching and dipping by hand. -New York Sun Mowing and Pasture Lands. , .The Pl&ugTiman has the following sug gestions in regard to the care of mowing' and pasture lands : ' Many" farmers ; neg4 lect to clear their mowing fields of stones,? sticks- and : ether. .obstructions to the mowing machine,- until the grass gets so high that ft is difficult, if not impossible, to see thfei, .; and so the5" knives , of tho mower are in jured -if not broken ; this is very poor policy, for on most of mowing fields if the work be done before the grass starts i muc1i,'-the'.labor of removing " all obstructions to the harvesting machines1 is comparatively lights "Land. that has been covered thTa6ddressing of uaiu iiiitLtuie uui mgiiie wutfi, vyiu. re quire more i labor .:.to put it"Ingood con- ditxon than if no dressing had been ap plied, but Jt will npt pay to neglect such fields,; for, --"whatever : lumps of manure there, mav b6 that have tresisted the ac tio! of the frost ,Should Re heat up. fine," so as to settle down, to - the roots of the ;. - it.. : i'n-i.i' 7 l r-i Bf45 lueJ V.1 T:-VW V1 .uu ue.u" ent to tJie. g83: Dut HJJ injure the.; mowing machineand e,vent cutting ' well what errass Uoes trrofw.

I had notquit drinking intoxicating liquors, as Idid, in 1847. I had contracted the habit ; had built up a blind, unnatural appetite for strong drinks, and hked the taste of every kind of liquor though I suspect I liked' the effects still better. : I be gan to grow careless and If1 slothful in busi ness,1! and put off till next week what I ought' to nave aone txlay. Fortunately 1 discov ered that the habit was destroying my health and my worldly prospects, aha by a most de termined will-power I conquered the powerful appetit3 which I had acqmred for intoxicants and broke it forever. ,- .. ? - 1 I knew that habit was second nature,-and that the unnatural appetite for strong -drinks was , stronger than nature? itself , 'for every glass of liquor drank increased the desire for another glass, and so on ad libitum, and there- 'fore to have conquered such a ftarful habit was the saving of my life, and all that was worth living for. When I found myself secure from falling back into the whirlpool of intoxicants, I felt as a shipwrecked person must feel when his life is barely saved by the lifeboat; when many ofhis fellow, passengers were still struggling in the waves. -Being saved himself, he is excitedly anxious to save others, - 1 felt so overjoye I at being snatched from a habit which was surely dragging mo down to .misery and death, that I ' found E my greatest pleasure consisted in circulating the temperance pledge, giving temperance lectures frea of charge all over the- country, and using every effort in my power to enlighten public sentiment in re- fard to the. fearful delusion of strong drink. . particularly iu-gd young men and young women, ass I. now do, to stai-t right in life to avoid the jgreatest evil in the land, because it i is the parent of nearly -every other evil known, and is sure to , utterly destroy nine tenths of those who form the drinking habit. I begged them not to touch a single drop, because -like opium, morphine- and other narcotics - the ' drinking of liquor calls for more, more, and more to produce the same effect that a little produced at first," and thus an artificial and unnatural j appetite was created that proved irresistible in a great majority of cases. I showed the youth of this country that their health, happi ness, and success in life, as well as of their posterity, depended ; upon whether they, started life's journey on whisky, beer, and other brain-muldlers," or -oa cold water, nature's beverage, which gives the clear brain, the firm hand, the strong resolution, and the' noble ambition to succeed in life financially and morally. I am glad to know that I have started thousands of young per sons on the right track, and that their exam ple will save hundreds of thousands of their posterity and fellow beings. It is one of the greatest pleasures of the evening of my life that I can look back and see the multitude of young-married menywho were ruining themselves and families by this social, delu sive, and - absolutely fatal Habit of dram drinking, whom I have bean e bio to convince that they were on the wrong .track, and to induce them to switch off and take the tem perance track for life.; Many a wife and son and daughter have claspad me by the hand, and, with streaming eyes, have thanked - me for having saved them from ;misery and degradation and saving their lather and husband. - - i';iw" Young married men in Bridgeport who were my tenants, I have induced to abandon the usa of liquor and tobacco on condition that I would build and sell them a house on credit, to be paid for by instalments. - Numbers of such men with growing families have in a few years owned the houses they lived in, clear from debt, they having saved the money by cutting off their rum and tobacco expenses, and" earned' more money , by their renewed energy, strength and ambition. There is not oas redeeming quality in the liquor drinking habit? Ifc'ldoes-no "possible good, aad it inflicts all manner of evil on its victim, his family and friends. It is the most de grading, poverty breeding, : and utterly destructive infatuation that - ever paralyzed the hopes, comforts and characters of the people of this otherwise blessed America. :- V - TW-.

The bulk of the' police force, corre sponding to the "privates or enlisted "men of the regular-army consisted on the 1st of January," 18&6, of the 2,396 patrolmen. On the 15th of June, : ac cording to the return of Deputy Chief Clerk Delamater, the native nationality of the 2,936 men .oi all ranks . and grades then, constitutir .7 fthe police force was as follows : United States, .1,745; Ireland, 974 ; ; Germany, ISO ; Austria,': 4:. Italy, 5 ; Switzerland, 1 ; Canada,, 13 ; England, - 30 ; Finland, 1 ; Scotland, -14; "1'ranco, 6 ; Bavaria, 1 ; Nova Scotia, 2 ; Denmark 1 ; Sweden, 2rWest InJies, 1. Thus the. United States hVve contributed 59.46, Ireland 3.17, and all other countries i.'il per cent, of the whole. . 1 he Hibernian el ement including 'those born .' in this country, : is 1 decidedly ' predominant. Naturally enough, those in whose con stitution habits of subordination have Ijeen ingrained by generations of servi tude are most - watchful and resolute when the enforcement of s law is- in trusted to their hands.:; Whatever their' ancestral ; antecedents, the" New York police have invariably e illustrated , the virtues of implicit obedience, self-control, manly courage, and - intelligent fidelity,-. 'Ihe club is at timc3 quite freely used. The: ideal policeman i3 only ah ideal. The actual is but an ap proximation to the imaginary: arche- type, because he is only, a man under all the limitations of the common-place American citizen. Dr.-, Ki hard Wheatleyt in Harper's Magazine : Tho Breakfast. . "A large proportion of intemperance in the use of stimulants," philosophized A physician in a free lecture to tho Buf falo Express, "may be laid, I think, to the light breakfasts eaten by most peo ple. After considering . the question very carefully,'! have come to the con clos'on that breakfast is the most im portant meal of the day, and that suffi cient importance is not attached to it in. the majority of households." ;Of ; course in this, as in nearly all matters, we are largely the creature of habit, but there are good and bad Jiabits. ' . I have found that a very large propor tion of people, in this country at least, eat very-little or nothing in the morn-: ing. ;&ow, after the long fast enforced between supper or late dinner and 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning, a person in good health should feel hungry; and it is- at this honr of the ;day that the heartiest meal may be eaten with the least probability of bad ; results. The man who starts out in the morning after having, eaten; a hearty breakfast will seldom, unless sufferTn g from chronic ndigestion, experience any of the dis-' comforts whijhi might follow a similar meal. at any other-time of day. ., The chances are he will "also enjoy a happy frame of mind all day ; ; whichever be his custom, ho will find : himself, with an excellent appetite.: for dinner. Eat ing creates appetite. The very oppo site results will follow the other course in this matter, and; the .man who has not had a good breakfast will not enjoy a ngood -dinner. I have; treated a" good many cases of habitual drunkenness, and in a great many of them I have found that the evil1 practice "of tippling f was begun to satisfy a gnawing, faint ; sen sation in the stomach in, the morning, which was nothing more nor less ; than" disguised hunger."
