Now Haven Paliadium, There ie now eatablished Haven tho only system, with any pacity for extenslon, of synchronlzad clocks, i, @, olocks which, by a simple and «flactive device, are kept on ab solately accurato time. Varions at- tompts have beon made abroad and in this country to arraoge systemas of olocks to keop uniform time, but mos: of these systems have boen a series of olectrical olocks or eleotric dials whioh have been driven by an electric car. ront, making a jump every sccond, All these systems, which work nicely In & room and with & falr degree of success when the clocks are distributed In different portons of one bullding, have been found, when applied to out-door wliros sat to the varying out-door conditions, prac- tioal fatlures. The prineipal ditticalty has been that a single break would throw one or more clocks radically out of time. Another eystem, deviloped to a contlderable extent in Paris, is know as the pneumatlo systom, by which every socony is recorded by compreselon of alr is a serles of tubes laid In the streets and brought to the poeitton of tho clock. This system, although much less !i,b'e to Interruption than that of electricliy, is euch that any interruption uvauros the clocks to stop, Hitherto all eys toms have run from a clock at one sta- tlon. The system which the Siaudard Time Company has now introduced hero has worked very successfally for years lo London, The olocks used are good time pleces with the motive power furnished, by springs or weights. They run {adependently of tho cleo trio current, The office of the carrent is to glve once an hour, or less frequently {f deslred, a signal which sots every clook at the same time, The slguals aro Mways eet out at the even hours and the closka are set by bring Ling the minute hands to the X1Ipoiat, The Now H{aven syatem, just openand having some fifteen or twenty olocks In circult, has advantages over any eystem over before attempted In this country, the advantage of having the most acourate observatory tlme, Tne signala ave not given from a good clock kept as nearly right s possible; but are accurately given frow so as- tronomieal clock at tho Yale observa tory, the wonshly varia‘ion of which is but a fraction of a second. As the system {8 now arranged two or three different patterns of olocks are fur- nished with synchronizars attached —a clock to be bought and become the property of the purchaser, who has nothing further to do In the mat- ter, Tho clock is hung on the wall, and for a yearly rental the clock ls wound and {opt right; and it is at- tended to, when needing rcpairs, at the lowest rates, W hoever has ono of these oclocks wlil receivo signals twenty-four tlmes a day 365 days In the year. The signals are ssnt over covered wires, thus removing all dan- ger of croesing, which will occur with the best system of uncovered wires. The time given is the time of the state--coming from the clock which glves signals to all the rallroads—-un- der the statutes of the state; it s the time recognized as officlal time if such a thing can be sald to exist. A note- worthy fact is that New Haven is the first town this slde of the Atlantlo, and in fact the only town in the world except London, to possess thia facility. New York depends on time-balls and unrellable electric dials. Boston s in the same condition, Chicago has no rellable time and people there are gov- erned, acoording to business, by one of half a dozan standards, New Or- leans s in the same conditlon and Philadelphia is not sltuated much better. New Havon is the only town where one who desires absolutely ac- curate time, glven {n a manner intelli- glble to everybody—on an ordinary clock face, can have this service and at a moderate cost.

There has been a wonderfal im- Pmnment made In the last few years n thoroughbred poultry, bred for special pu:foul. It 1s impossible to combine all the excellences in one breed. It Is possible to comblne them In a moderate degree, 8o asto get good layers and a fair average welght of body. The Plymouth Rocks are an {llustration of the best that can be accomplished i this way Those who breed for heavy welghts must not expect to secure great laying qualities in the same breed, any more than they can expect speed from a heavy darft nnlm-r. Poultry men, who are near large city markets, and take ad- vantage of high prices for fresh eggs, must be satisfied with medium-aized fowls, All the best laylng breeds are below the average welght. The Asi- atlcs (Brahmas and Cochins) lay very large eggs, but not so many dezens durlng the year. We no not sondemn any breed, but In the selectlon of poultry, #s In that of other livo stock, it is desirable to choose auimals bred for the espectal purpose needed. During many years’ experience with poultry of all kinds we have forad the white Leghorns to stand at the head of the llst of layers, sud not only do they produce an im- meuee number of eggs each year when well fod housed properly and cared for as all the property should be, but they aro hardy aud produotive, lively and vigorous chicks, As these chlcks feather up so quickly, and, when hatched early, lay the same fall they are hatched, they are doubly worth breeding. Thelr clear, white bodles, and largo, btight combs, make them vary attraciive. The young birds, and especially the pullete, wmade fine eating when four or five months old. but we prefer the cockerels, Touched the Chord, Detrolt Froe Press. At noon yesterdiy there were half a dezen Idlers at the foot of Wood- ward avenue, some ssleep, soms look- ing despondent, and two who had j ust nsgured a pedestriar that they wust have work at some price or starve, A gentleman suddenly stepped out of o and approachod one of these fd: ‘ko an honest man,"” “Yen, ol ““And you are o hard worker!” “1 am that,” 1 presuma you conld be trusted in any capaclty?’ “Oh, I know 1 counld,” “Well, T have a job for you, Oar porter at the Sixth National Bank has left us, and wo must fill his place.

If Iaint worth as much ae the other man was, the board can do its own sweeplng!” The gentleman walked back lnto the office, tho winner of a box of clgars. He had wagerod that he would offer the man a place at $3 500 per year, and that it wounld be refused, A Cure of Pneumonia.

The crop covers many millfons of acres and many degreea of Iatitude. The harvest porlod extends over many months, so that when the wheat crop of the southern provinces 1a cut and well on its way to Europe, the fields of the Northorn Panjab are otill carpetsd with a green sward of growlng graln. The Iahorers who toll in India’s vast wheat fioids are content with efx cents a day ns wages, and for attire theyrequire but t wo cotton shirts avery yoor for each individual. 1t is with sach labor as thic—-the most sor- vile, degraded and hopuloss on earth- that the Amerioan wheat grower fs compoting and must com- pote, This competition is not a ques tlon of methods of wheat culture, It in purely o matter of prices. The growers who can eell caeapest In the Earopean market will hold and control that market. Thus far the American farmor has been able to compete suc- cessfully with the wheat producer of Indla in the markets of Great Britaln and France, the great wheat con- suming countries, He has, In addi- tlon, maintained a successful rivalry with the pauper labor of Europe. Cheap land, lmproved machinery and unremltting Industry have enabled him to keep in the field agalnst all opposition, Some recent discussions In the Britlshhonse of commons, on the importancoe of in- creasing rallway facllities in Indls, are broad and pregnant hints of the posaibllity that he way have to com- pete with an Increased Astatlo prodac- tion, Ifa reduction of frefght on Indlan rallways now In operation should be accomplished, and a little encouragement of the home govern- ment fo the construction of new lines be adopted as a settled polloy, 1t can- not be doubted that the resalting im- pulse to wheat growlng to India wonld materlally effect Amerlcan agrl cultural interests. It would beczme neoessary to substltute other crops for graln, which coald no longer bs sold at a falr profit; and & new standard of value would bo established for those sgricaltural products for which the world 1s a market. Hindoo cheap taber would become n consfderable actor In determining what the Amerl- oan farmer should raiso on his land Inteliigence of a famine in India would tnducs the swing of a greater acreage of wheat, to be eurrendered to other crops another yenr. While our agriculturists are thus confronted by a conatantly enlarging competition, they can hardiy fall to note that the burden of taxes caused by viclons tariff loglslation falls heavily upon them. They are pald in the marts of the world, but they must purchase everything thoy need from men who have secured them from the government the privilege of taxing the farmer. Aud although the orep ralser cannot control the cheap labor of other lands, he may still bave something to say concernlg the falla- clous polioy of protectlon, whioch, whilo powerless to advanoce the value of his grain, i» constantly operating to increase the coat of every artlole he needs or cONAUMEE, Humbuggnd Again.

Mahogany The mahogany, says The Lumber World, is a native of the Weat Indies, the Bahamas,and that portion of Cen- tral America that lles adjacent to the bay of Honduras, and has also been found In Florida.

The first mentlon of {t ia that it was used in the repalr of some of Sir Walter Raleigh's ships at Trinidad, In 1697, Its finely varlegated tluts were admired, but in that age the dresm of El Dorado ——— 8 S T eansed matters of more value to be I was pllot of the Dlana, Jomes D. neglected, The first that was brought to Kogland was about 1724, a few planks having boen ment to Dr. Glb- bons o London by & brothor who was a Went Indian ocaptaln, The doctor was erecting & house, and gave the planks to the “workmen, who rejected them as bolng too hard, The dootor thon had a candle-box made of the wood, his ocablnet-maker also com. plalning of the hardness ¢f the tim- ber, Bat, when finlshed, the box became an object of general curiosity and admiration, Ho had one bureau, and hor grace of Buckingham anoth- or, made of this besutlful wood, and the desplaed mahogany now besame a prominent article of luoxary, and at the samo time ralsod tho fortunes of the cabinet maker by whom It had beon eo Itttle regarded. Sinco that time it has taken a leading rank among the ornamental woods, having come to be consldered indispensable where luxury is intended to be indl- cated. A few facts will furnlsh a tolerably distinct Ides of the elzo of this splen- did tree. The mahogany lambermen, having selected a tree, surround it with a plaiform about 12 feet above the ground, and cut {t above the plat- form, Some 12 or 16 feet of the largeat part of the trunk are thus lost. Yot a slngle log not unfrequently welghs from 6 to 15 tons, and some- times mensures 17 feet {in length and 4} and b} feet In diameter, one teee furnishing two, three or four such logs. Some trees have ylelded 12,000 superficial feot, and at average price piccen have sold for §15,000. Mosars, Broadwoods, London piano-forte manufacturers, paid £3,000 for three logs, all cat from one tree, and each about 16 feet long and more than three feet equare. The tree Is cnt at two seasons of the year—Iin the au- tumn and about Christmas time, The trunk, of course, furnishes timber of tho largest dimensions, but that from the branches ls preforred for orna- mental purposes, owing to It closer grain and more variogated color, In low and damp soil Ita growth fa rapld; but the most valusblo trees grow slowly among the rocks on sterlle soll, and scem to gather compaotuess and beauty from the very stroggle which they make for an existence. In the Bahamas, in the moat desolate reglons, ono flourished that curlonsly veined and much esteomed varioty onea known {n Earope as “Madeira wood,” but which has long siuca been exterminatod, Jamalos, also, which used to be a fruitful source of mahog- any, and whenoe In 17563 not loss than 621,000 feet were shipped, is now almost depleted.

J. J..BABCOCK, M. D, Another vla One. New Orleaus Timos-Democrat. A fow aays ago we mentloned that one of the oldest of steamboatmen, Oapt. John Graut, was a resident of this city. Bolow we give the result of a conversation wilth another old voteran, also a resldent of this olty, Oapt. Louls Choat., The captain says: “I saw tho firat steamboat—New Or- leans—in 1811, at Cincinnati, and looked upon her as the greatest won- dor of the world. I was a schoolmate of the aunctent veterar, Capt, Charler Ross, cbout 1816, I commonced £t boating sbout 1818, with Capt Me- Clure, on my firat trip to New Orleaus. On my return trlp to oinciunatt I crossed Lake Ponchp¢ralu and took the Jackson military trace. The ronte was by way of Crlambun, on the Tom- bigbee river, ¢hen through Alabama to Tascumbls, then through Ken- tackev 0 Frankfort, thence to Oln- cinpatf, Tae most of this was walk- ing, and 1t took about sixty da) I boing young, ‘Black’ Charley,.of Mays- ville, asalsted me in carrying my sack of clothing. A greater portion of this route was through the Indlan nations; we were seldom interrupted, however. The sbcond trip I made, In 1819, was on a flathoat belonging tc Oharles Gezam, of Clnoinnail; Charles Rosa 80 steersman of one of the boats floet; I returned a second time by the Jackson military trace, Ihave a disticet recollection of seelng the steamboats Vesuvius, Etna, Romapo, Feliclana, Mald of Orleans, Vista, Gen. Jackson, and many others dur- {ng the years 1819 to 1824; most of these were very low-pressure boats, | first steamboat I return- od upon was the Napoleon, Captain Anderson Miller, in 1827, In 1824, belog in the city of New Orleans, at the time of General Lafayette's visit, a grand reception was given him, and an excursion to the Eoglish Tarn, There were four steamboats in the fleet, viz: The Washington, Ramapo, Feliclana, and, I thiok, the Pocahontas, I was upon the Washington with Captain Sureve, and as tho boats were lashed together, eide by eide, they preseuted » grand appearance s they approacied the city, The Follelana was bulls in 1822 at Philadelphia.
