Shakers in the Fraternity Course— The South /ioston Flats—Atlantic Avenue—/Meturb an cc on Fort //ill—Strike of 1'eleijthiph Op erators— Monitors in the 1/arbor. Boston, .Ian. 7, 1»70. The Fraternity course was concluded by a very novel entertainment. Frederick W. Evans, assisted by about sixty Shakers, dele gates from ten different communities in New York and New Hampshire, occupied the plat form in Music Hall, the women at the right, and the men at the left of the centre. The former were uniformly dressed in dark gowns, with a white cap, and a white cape, sack or mantle, thrown over the shoulders. The men wore wide neck cloths, and dark blue cftits. They arrived a little before the condu sion of the organ concert, and seemed much pleased with the music; when this was fin ished. Elder Evans was introduced as the speaker of the evening, after which two hymns were read, and sung by several of the Shakers in unison; Mr. Evans then arose, and pro ceeded to an exposition of Shakcrism. Like most other sects, they believe they are follow ing in “the straight and narrow way" that leads to life, and glory. Their principles are rather Dentonian—they rather scoff at Moses’ record of the creation, and do not believe in God's particular intimacy with Noah, Abraham and others mentioned in the Bible. Immor tality is claimed by them here, for they do not marry or give in marriage, and so they argue, that if they were to die to-morrow, they could sustain the same relations to each other as now, so far as peopling the earth is concerned. Mr. Evans did not think it would j lie a great misfortune if it did get depopulat j ed. lie finally concluded, by wishing the au i die.ice to acknowledge that they persecuted I their prophet* while living, and worshiped j them when dead, and wanted them to make amends, by worshipping the good men and women of the present day. and begin by can .noni/.ing the Shakers. Elder Evans said many smart things, and the audience ex pressed their appreciation by frequent applause and laughter. After Mr. Evans. Antoinette Doolittle, “a worthy and faithful soul in the order" was introduced, who accompanied by another sister. Harriet Bullard by name, took her staml in front and proceeded to make some remarks, approbative, mostly, ol’ those made by their leader. They are strong minded females, and think women should have fuller scope for tlicirpowers. I have always thought that when I got old and unable to work, pro viding I remain single, I should enter that nice institution called the Old Lady’s Home; but since listening to the Shakers, my ideas have changed, and I think it might be more convenient to adopt Shakerism, all things considered, and perhaps at some future time be introduced to the public as sister so and-so, a -worthy and faithful soul in the order.” After the sisters above mentioned had talked a short time, two more hymns were reud and sung, all the Shakers joining in the last. Tile leaders then thanked the assembly for their quiet and respectful attention, and pronounced the benediction which was united ly wafted to the audience by the men and women. Some of our own more recent improvements 1 have not spoken of in my last letters. The purchase of a portion of the South Hus ton Hats, some few weeks since by the Boston and Albany Railroad Company, is an arrange ment which our citizens are congratulating oath other upon, fur the reason that it will be an income of some importance to the State while more extensive facilities for shipment at the West will also be opened. The Hats are tu he raised to a grade of sixteen feet, thirteen of which is to be filled witli material dredged from tlie harbor, the process thus serving a two-foid purpose, that of improving the har bor by making the channel deeper, aside from the first object of raising the flats. The Dredging Machines may he seen at work near ly every day, in the harbor. The heavy sea wall is to be built by the company. What obsta cles will not man's ingenuity yet overcome? Some enterprising and persevering individual may eventually establish a telegraphic line to the moon and other planets, and thus ascer tain whether or no they are inhabited. The Atlantic Avenue is also a noticeable enterprise. It commences ut the extreme North End of the city, and extends as far as Dorchester, along the heads of the wharves, where a steam-car track is to be laid, for the better accommodation of freights. The ave nue is to be a broad one, many of the docks being tilled up, ami some old buildings torn down, that would otherwise obstruct the way. The earth used for filling in the docks, and building the avenue, is being dug from Fort j Hill, where quite a commotion occurred the other day amounting almost to a riot, in con sequence of the wages of the Irish laborers being eut down from #1,50 per day to 81,35. Many of them stopped work, and the vacancy was supplied by Germans, who agreed to labor at the reduced rate; some of the Irishmen coming for their pay, and finding things in this condition, took matters into their ow-n hands, saying the Germans should not work, whereupon a conflict ensued, which it required a detachment of police to quell. It is said that one poor German was taken into a street j by two or three malignant Hibernians, who beat him until he promised not to work for less than #1,50. The men resumed work, how ever. Wednesday morning, underthe pro tection of a strong police force. Considerable excitement and some curiosity prevail in regard to the Telegraphers' Strike At a meeting of the operators in the Shcrmar House last evening, they seemed disposed to stand out; they have been sending messages all over the country, encouraging others to do the same. The Superintendent of the Asso ciated Press is trying to secure the services of female operators. There seems to be no foundation for the strike, and it is probable that it will result in their defeat, although it is hard to tell how it may terminate. The monitors Terror and Miantonomah now tie at anchor in the harbor, the former at an chor near the East Boston ferry, and the latter off Long wharf. The Miantonomah, star from New York, Jan. 1st, accompanied by the iron tug Maurice. On Tuesday morning the tug was run into by the Miantonomah, crush ing the former like an egg-shell, and killing ■four men. The crew numbered sixteen. They are to remain here until near the arrival of the Peabody fleet when they will go to Portland. The Massachusetts Legislature assembled on Wednesday, organized, and elected the Hon. Horace H. Coolidge President, and Stephen N. Gifford clerk of the Senate, and Hon. Harvey Jewell Speaker, and William S. Robinson Clerk of the House. Mr. Speaker Jewell spoke at some length upon the evils of long sessions, and it is to be hoped that the timely suggestions in his address may be acted upon. On Monday evening next Madame Parepa Iiosa, with her opera troupe, will inaugurate a brief season of English Opera. The lovers of music are anticipating a rnre treat. Portia. CONDENSED HISTORY OF STEAM. About two hundred and eighty years B. Ilier, of Alexandria, formed a toy which exhibited some of the powers of steam, ami was moved by this power. A. P. 450, Anthemius, an architect, ar ranged several caldrons of water, each covered with the wide bottom of a leather tube, extended to the ratters of the adjoin ing building. A fire was kindled beneath the caldrons, and the house was shaken by the efforts of tire steam ascending the. tubes. This is the first notice of the power of steam recorded. In 154:1, June 17, Blasco P. Garoy tried a steamboat of 'MU tons with tolerable suc cess at Barcelona, Spain. It consisted of a caldron of boiling water, and a mova ble wheel on each side of the ship. It was laid aside as impracticable. A present, however was made to Garoy. In 1650 tlie first railroad was construct ed at Newcastle on Tyne. The first idea of a steam engine in Eng land was in the Marquis of Winchester's "History of Inventions," A. 1). 1663. In 1710 Newcomen made the first steam engine in England. In 1713 patents were granted to Savery for the first application of the steam en gine. In 1764 James Watt made the first per fect steam engine in England. In 1730 Jonathan Hulls set forth the idea of steam navigation. In 1778 Thomas Paine first proposed this application in America. In 1771 Marquis Jouffroy constructed one in Saone. I11 1785 two Americans published a work on it. In 1783 William Tymington made a voyage in one on the fourth, on Clyde Canal. in lm tins experiment was repeated. In 17X2 Ramsey propelled a boat by steam to New York. In I7»X John Fitch, of Philadelphia, navigated a boat bv a steam engine on the Delaware. In 17!t:i Robert Fulton first liegan to ap ply his attention to steam. In 171)8 Oliver Evan, a native of Phila delphia, constructed a locomotive steam engine to travel on a turnpike road. The first steam vessel that crossed the Atlantic was the Savannah, in the month of June, lMiy, from Charleston to Liver pool. One of the Lost Tribes. One of the “lost tribes”has at last turned up, safe and sound, in the shape of a people called the Falashas, who inhabit a district in Abyssinia, which has long re mained a terra uuoyuita and a blank space on the mai). They were visited by Mr. Ualevy, a very intelligent French traveller, who has now communicated an account of his journey to the French Geological Society. There were about 850,000 of the Fal ashas. They speak an Agua dialect called Falashina, or Kaillina, and into this lan guage they have translated aGheez version of the Old Testament. They do not prac tice polygamy. They circumcise their male children on the seventh day. Their proper names are derived from Hebrew, Ghecz, and Amharic. The institution of purification is practiced the children are taught the Bible, the psalms, prayers, and sac-red history. In the synagogues the sexes sit apart. Incense is burned during the services. Their religions hopes art turned to Jerusalem, but their idea* of the Messiah are very indistinct. They are wholly unacquainted with Hebrew, and know nothing of the cer emonies insituutcd after the time of Ezra. They have a religious literature written in the style of the Midrath. They keep the Suhbath rigidly, fast on Mondays anti Thursdays; keep the 9th of Ah to com memorate the destruction of Jerusalem; they wash before and say grace alter eating; they have a traditional mode of slaughter ing animals for food; they practice com memorative sacrifices on the holy days, anti also for the repose of the souls of the dead. Their w omen enjoy equality w ith men. They hold slaves, but liberate there after a servitude of six years. I ___ A Massachusetts farmer says he can fat ten his sheep oil steamed feed for one-third 1 less expense than on dry feed, and get one fourth more weight. This is the result of live years experience.

Treatment of Sheep that Disown their Lambs. Few things ever occur to try a man' patience more than a sheep that disowns her lamb. Our ingenuity in devising means to bring the rebellious animal to the exer cise of her maternal affection generally holds out longer than we can find patience to bear with her brutish obstinacy. We have tried all the plans generally recom mended to overcome this nnnatnrul condi tion of things, but not always with desira ble success. The treatment which in out hands results most favorably is the follow ing: Into the corner ol a pen, where she can have a rack in front of her for hay, anil a trough umler her nose for her mess, tie the sheep with a rope Just long enough to al-; low her to lie ilown—but not turn round. With a temporary fence, made by nailing two upright pieces of board two feet and a half high, three pieces six incites wide, and five or six feet long, according to the con dition of the corner, and the rark to which you fasten her, pen up the sheep, taking care to have the fence which makes this little pen meet the wall against which you tie the sheep immediately behind her. form ing there an acute angle. The space at (he end where her head stands should he no more than eighteen or twenty inches wide. The shape of this little inclosure j would then be like the letter V placed horizontally, thus the head of the sheep being toward the open end. When your sheep i- tied and your ban-; porary fence firmly staked in place, the ad vantage of the fixture will he this: The short rope will prevent the she, from butting the lamb—the narrow angle of the peu will prevent her from bounding from side to side when the lamb attempts to suek—(and if your peu is not narrow enough for this, alter it till it is)—and the unoccupied corner in the wide part of the V, opposite the one to which the sheep i tieil, will afford ample room for the lamb to lie unmolested. The lamb soon learns the advantage that this condition of thing gives him, and makes his demands for his regular needs with energy as amusing as it is fearless. When he has satisfied his i wanks, he returns quietly to his own corner of the little domain and goes to sleep, j Here let the sheep be kept and regularly fed, littered and watered, but not removed while she shows any symptoms of dislike for her lamb. As the lamb gains strength, it will make its demands for its rations with corresponding demonstrations of en ergy, and the sheep are very few that a vigorous lamb will not “bring to terms'’in a few days in this situation. The plan will be found to be equally suc cessful. though not as speedy perhaps, when you wish to make a sheep "adopt” a lamb. I The Value of Dead Animals for Comport, j The farmer is very fortunate who loses i no stock by death or accident; but when i such loss unavoidably occurs, he should! make the most of it. Jt is too often dragged i to the woods or let lay in the open Held to I Is- consumed by buzzards or beasts of prey, giving off an offensive odor that poisons the atmosphere of the surrounding neigh borhood. This is not only had economy, but it is bad morality. The dead animal should be taken a suffi cient distance from the building and from the road side, and if a large one, cut in pieces. Screw these pieces liberally w itb plaster (gypsum) and lime, and cover witli soil, swamp mud or road washings, adding liberally of plaster as you add the cover ing. This will give you a valuable com port heap, and the atmosphere will not be impregnated with tile poisonous odor; the piaster will secure that for a better pur pose. The lime will hasten decomposi tion, but you must depend on the plaster to secure the ammonia. After the decomposition has hern com pleted the whole mass should lie well mixed and applied to the land. It will pay. New Millinery Goods. MISS V.

They are to In* found here and there, but, compared with the great mass ot the world's population, their numbers are so small that 1 dismiss them, ami address myself to those who are willing tt> listen to the dictate* of reason, and who are disposed to admit the strong logic of well estahlish- d facts. We are told almost daily that Con*Mm/*fion, the scourge of the American people, is incurable; that a man whose lungs an* diseased must lie given over to die that he must abandon hope and that the arrangement of his temporal .is well a* spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten tion. If there were not facts as undeniable as that the sun will shine in a clear heaven at midday to controvert these random and not unlrequently harmful assertions, 1 should feel unwilling to hike up the gage of liattle against them hut. fortified with results- facte—which ueither theory nor mere assertion can overturn, I propose to prove that CON SUMPTION CAN UK CIRKD, and that tlie medicilies 1 prepare—T11E MANDRAKE FILLS. SEAWEED TONIC, and ITLMOK 1C SYRUP—will, if used iu strict acconiancv with the directions, lu a majority of cases effect that which the faculty pronounces impossible—they will cure Cim mmution. ▲u ounce or souu tact is worm a pounu oi uieury. no* ine, therefore, present the facts connected with my own individual experience. Many years ago, l was a confirmed consumptive, and like thousands of other unfortunates, was given up to die. Emiueut physicians prouounced my ease a hopeless one, and told me that if 1 had any prepvra tions to make for the final solemn eveut, that 1 had letter make them speedily. 1 believed this just as coufid- ntly as did the |ierauat man, and 1 have maintained both strength and flesh to this day. I weigh two hundred and thirty five pounds; I am blest with an appetite vouchsafed to but lew men, while my digestive organs are amply equal to all the requirements of a healthful condition ol my sys tem. Now, be it remembered, all these wonderful changes were wrought by the use of the medicines 1 prepare—MAN DRAKE KILLS, SEAWEED TONIC and PULMONIC SYRUP. A cure seemingly to miraculous naturally created astonishment iu the minds of thrne who knew me. 1 was literally besieged on all sides. 1 had visitors daily who be sought me to give them the remedies which had wrought the wonderful restoration and hail wrested me from the very jaws of death. Letters were received by scores impor tuning me to impart the secret and inform the writers where the specifics for consumption could be obtained. Others, who were too weak too travel, not satisfied with writing, sent for and consulted me in regard t their case*. To all the** applications 1 responded as I was able. 1 had fully regained my health, and gratitude for the happy result prompted me to turn iny attention to the -deuce of medicine, with the hope of thereby being aide to be of service to my suffering fellow -creatures. 1 devoted myself closely to my studies, aud more especially to that branch ».f them relating to the terrible disease from which 1 had suffered to long ami so much. I Investigated it ii^all its fearful phases, in order to assure myself that my case was not an exceptional one. The chieer my investigation* the more satisfactory were my conclusions. I felt con vinced that tens of thousands of my fellow-creatures wen? dying annually from consumption wh-we cases were not as desperate and apparautly hopeless as mine had been, ami 1 argued from this that remedies which hail proven so effective with me would prove equally so with others. I prepared my medicines in a pleasant and attractive form, and announced them to the workl. The results are wall known. Thousands of suffering men, women aud children, who were on the way to the grave, have deen cured, and are to-day living evidences of the fact that CONSl MKTION CAN BE CURED and I think I may say, without arro gating to myself any more than is justly my due, that I have had as much experience in the treatment of consump tion as any other person in the country, aud that my suc cess has been wonderfully great Let the reader remember that these are not mere fancied statements. They are positive living facts, of which I am the living evidence. There is an old adage which says. “What has been done may be done.” 1 have been completely cured of consump tion by the remedies I now offer to the public. Thousands of others have testified to simila i happy results from their us*?, and thousands of others still in.ght be beuefitted as I have been cn to try the vir tue of The Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. All that is necessary to convince the most skeptical uf their merits is a fair trial.

Horticultural Department. To keep pace with the growing interest in practi cal Horticulture, and to comply with frequent ap peals from all parts of the country for information of a practical character on the subject, we have en gaged the services of a person who is experienced in rural affairs to write m a lucid style a series of articles on the Management of Smalf Farms, Fruit and Vegetable Culture, and how to make them pay giving general and specillc directions from planting to the ultimate disposal of the crops. Of late years there has been a lucrative business carried on by unprincipled men in selling worthless ami old plants under new names to the inexpe rienced. THE TRIBUNE will be always ready to guard the farmer against any such imposition that comes within our knowledge! Veterinary Department. To make THE TRIBUNE ^till more valuable to its agricultural readers, we have engaged Frol. Jamks Law, Veterinary Surgeon in Cornell Uni versity, to answer questions concerning diseases of Cattle’, Horses, Sheep, and other domestic animal' and to prescribe remedies. Answers and prescrip tions will be given only through the columns of THE TRIBUNE. We are sure tiiat this new fea ture in THE TRIBUNE will add largely to it' readers, as all ow ners of animals are liable to need the information proffered. Inquiries should b« made as brief as possible, that the questions, an swers. and prescriptions may bo published togi ther. In short, wv iutend that THE TRIBUNE shall keep in the advance in all that concerns the Agricultural, Manufacturing. Mining, and other interests of the country, ami that for variety ami completeness, it shall remain altogether the most valuable. Interesting, aud instructive N KW8FAFEK published in the world. It has been well observed that a careful reading and studv of the Fanners' Club Reports in THE TRIBUNE alone will save a farmer hundreds of dollars in his crop. In addition to these report? we shall continue to print the l*e-t things w ritten on the subject of agriculture by American aud for eign writers, and shall increase these features front year to year. it is, no prudent former can do without’ it. *As a leasmi to hi' workmen alone, every fanner should place THE WEEKEY TRIB UNE ujM»n his table every Saturday evening. THE TRIBUNE the' treat and cheapest paper in the country. This is not said in a spirit of boastful ness. It lias fallen to New-York to create the greatest newspapers of the country. Here concen trate the commerce, the manufactures, the mineral resources, the agricultural wealth of the Republic. Here all the new s gathers, and the patronage is so large that journalists can afford to print it. This i' the strength of THE TRIBUNE. We print the I cheapest, and beat edited weekly newspaper in the country. We have all the advantages around us. We have great Daily ami Semi-Weekly editions. AU the elaborate aud intricate machin’eiy of our establishment—perhaps the most complete m Amer I ica—is devoted to the purpose of making THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE the best ami cheapest news paper in the world. The result is that we have so systematized and expanded our resources that every copy of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE contains as much matter as a duodecimo volume. Think ot it! For two dollars, the subscriber to THE TRIK i UNE for one year buvs as much reading matter as though he tilled a shelf of his library with tilly vol umes, containing the greatest works in the lan guage. The force of cheapness can no further go. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is the pu|>t*r of the people. Here the eager student may learn the last lessons of science. Here the scholar may read re views of the best books. Here may be found cor respondence from ail parts of the world, the obser vations of sincere and giited men. who serve THE TRIBUNE in almost every country. THE TRIBUNE is strong by reason of its enor mous circulation and great cheapness. It has long been conceded that THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE has the largest circulation of any newspaper in tin country. For years we have printed twice a* many papers’, perhaps, as all of the other weekly editions of the city dailies combined. This is why we are enabled to do our work so thoroughly and cheaply. The larger our circulation, the better paper w e can make, every subscriber renew his subscription, ami urge j his neighbors to do the same. If a man cannot af- j ford to pay two dollars, let him raise a club, by in- j ducing his neighbors to subscribe, and we shall send him a copy gratis for his trouble. No news paper so large and complete as THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE was ever before offered at so low a price. Even when our currency was at par with gold, uo such paper but 'PIIE TU1BUNL was of fered at that price, and THE TK1BCNE thru cost ux far less than it now does. We have solved the problem of making the best and cheapest news- j paper in America. TERMS OF THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

Dr. SchbsiVs Maxdkaek Pills for Diseases of the um i, ui iu m. k as a ui^au.c All of these three medicines are often required iu curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic fisyrup alone lias curd many desperate cases. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills assist iu regulating the Stomach and Liver, and help the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the blood vessels, by which means a cure is soon effected. These medicines are conscientiously offered to the public as the only safe, certain and reliable remedies for Pul monary Consumption, and for ail those morbid conditions of the body which lead to that fatal disease. Liver Com plaint and Dys|*psia are often forerunners of Cousumlo tion, and wheu they manifest themselves they require the most prompt attention. The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has hail a long probation iiefore the public Its value has been proved by the thousands of cures it has made through a lierlod of more than thirty-ftve year*, iu all of which time its reputation has constantly increased, and the moat ob. stinate skepticism cun no louger doubt tliat it is a remedy which may be used with confidence iu all cases which admit of a cure. If the patient will |>erseveringly follow the directions which accompany each bottle, he will certainly be cured, if his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cun* possi ble. Kven in cases supposed to be incurable, when friends and physicians have despaired, the use of this medlcii.“> has saved the life of the patient, and restored him to per fect health. Dr. Kchenck himself was cured in precisely such cir cumstances, and many others have been equally fortunate by judiciously making a timely use of Dr. Schenck’.* remedies. Dr. tsehenck does not say that all cases of Pulmonary Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts, that often whi n patients have the most alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping cnillf*, mglll »wniw, HUM H' li' iai ucuhuj, r»ru w degree that they art- obliged to lie in Inti, ami when they are given up by their physician, they may still be cured. I No medical treatment can create new lungs, but when the lungs are very badly diseased, and to some extent de stroyed, a cure may in; effected by Dr. ^chenck’s nie«l Also, in {Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally efficient. Dr. ftihenck lias photographs of a number of persons who have been nearly covered with running sores, ami now all healed up. This shows its purifying properties, which must be done to heal cavities in the lungs. In the treatment of Consumption, it is of the utmost importance to give vigor and a health toue to the system. Hence it is uecessary to strengthenthe appetite of the patient and improve the digestion. Proper nourishment is required, together with such mean as will make the food^asily digestible. The articles most suitable for tie diet of consumptive patients are designated in Dr. Schenck’s Almanacs, which an- distributed gratuitously. In general, the most highly nutritious articles are to be preferred; but the digestive organs must la* strengthened in order to make either food or medicine serviceable. This requirement is met by the Sea Weed Tonic, and for this purpose it was designed. When the digestive powers are put in good order, the food has its proper effect, the system of the patient is in vigorated, and the lungs liegin to exercise their functions in a normal and healthy mannei. Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure. Pulmonary Consumption is almost always complicated with Dyspepsia ami Liver Complaint. Scbenck’a Man drake Pills are intended to remove obstruction* from De liver ami restore its healthy action. They have all tie efficacy which is ascribed to calomel or “bloc muss," ami are warranted not to contain a particle of any mineral poison. These pills cure the rn«*st ebstinate costiveness, sick headache, piles, bilious affections, and all otherdiseases which arise from a torpid or obstructed co-'ditlon of the liver. One box of these pills will prove the efficacy of the medicine. In Consumption, the Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are invaluable auxiliary medicine. They relieve the I sufferings "I die patient and assist tlic l’ulmouic Syrup in effecting a cure. They have been found useful in ad vanced stages of Consumption, where the lungs were al most entirely destroyed, and all symptoms, according to the Judgment of physicians.
