IDLE FANCIES.

'Tis tho witching hour of twilight,Flitting shadows f 11 around,

While the pe fumed breath of flowersKise like incense from the ground.

Here I sit, at open casement,While the freshly stirring breeze

Gathers notes of rarest sweetnessAs it floats on through the trees.

Cease, my heart, thy troubled beating,Tune thy song to happier lays ;

Hushed be thought of vain repining,Dwell upon the brighter days;

When the stream of life flowed gentlyThrough the happy isles of youth,

And my spirits light and bounding,Knew of naught but love and truth.

Scenes forgotten rise before me,At the touch of memory's lyre ;

Hopes and fears again bet de me,Now advance, then quick retire.

For unto my wakened fancy,Dearest forms now meet my view,

And with flying steps I hastenTo embraces warm and true.

Qui.kly speed the golden hours,Dance they by on fleeting teet;

Birds are singing choral anthems.Which the joyous waves repeat;

All the air is filled with music,And the flowers dance in glee-

All uniting in the gladnessThat comes floating by—tome.

Brightest stars peep from the azure,Smiling welcome to their queen,

Who, on rosed-iinged clouds, comes sailing,To add beauty to the scene ;

When a swallow, wildly flitting.Flies against my window-pane,

Brings me back from realms elysian,To my work-day world again.

THE MYSTERIOUS SAIL0K.

BY W I L L I A M COMSTOCK.

I was in a whaleman just from Nan-tuoktt. While the ship was in the gulfsirenm I observed, as I stood at thehelm, that much conversation passed be-tween ihe captain and mate iu regard tcthe owner of the vessel.

"He looked miserable the last timehe came down to the wharf,"' said themate ; ' 'I think his voyage is pretty neaup—won't, hardly weather it till we geback."

The captain turned partly aroundto give me an order, and then said tohis chief officer :

"Do you know anything about thatson of his V

"I only know sir, that he's just fromthe college; he's been off the island toschool ever since he was knee high totoad, and must be chuck full of lamingby this time. Them that's seen himsays he's a fine, stout, well built youngman, thit looks more like a granv-dearthan a college-bred "

'•It's likely the business will fall intohis hands very soon," observed the captain, musingly.

' Yes, sir ; the old man can't hold outmuch longer. I heard that as soon ashe came to the island he was to havethe business."

"Indeed !" cried the captain."But you know, sir," answered the

mate, "that these youngsters are neverso strict as the old ones—"

'• What's that to n,e ?" interruptedthe captain, in so captious a mannerthat the mate looked up as if he thoughtit was a great deal to the passionateman.

The mate knew that Captain Johnsonhad got a ship under the utmost difficul-ty. There had been such reports of hiscruelty and violent temper that it wasnot easy to ship crews fur the vesselswhich he commanded. But the ownerof our ship was an easy old man, disposedt b l i t t th t i ' f l t d

to be lenient to tbe captain's faults, andthe latter bad, after repeated efforts,succeeded in gettiug command of theship.

I t is not difficult, tberelore, to coin-prebend tbe stale of the captain's mindwhen he contemplated the substitutionof the son for the father. The son mightdischarge him immediately on the returnof the ship to Nantucket There wasnothing agreeable, therefore, to CaptainJohnson, in change of owners.

The mate well understood that he haddisturbed the captain's mind by speakingof tbe old man's withdrawal from businesa, and be hastened to change the sub-ject. ^'

"There rnustbe discipline on board ofthe vessel." said he, "and I'm thinkingwe've got some pretty tough sticks tohandle. There's that Alpheus Baileyhas a lurking devil in tbe corner of biseye—"

"A mutinous dog, Mr. Barney—a mu-tinous dog! Why don't you apeak out?"

"And thatV strange, too, in a greenband," added the mate. Now, if he wasan old man o'war's man it would havebeen as nat'ial as a chaw of pig tail."

"There's much talk of that kind in theforecastle, Mr. Barney; but give meanold salt in preference to those raw jon-niee, that don't know a marhnspike fromthe fly jibboom, and grumble becausethey don't have their muffins served uphot every morning."

" They mustn't grumble to mo," saidBarney, nodding his head threateningly.

' 'Well, I think we can keep thorn fromspitting in our faces," cried the cap'ain."Take a pull on the lee brace?, Mr Bar-ney. Keep her oif a little—there !—steady as she goes."

This discouise between the captainand mate sounded very much like a dec-laration of war against the crew, andwhere hostile feeling* exist without acause, a small spark is sufljcioLi to kin-d.e a great fire

From that time forward it waa ensyto porceive that he young man calledAlpheus Kailey was regarded su-piciousiy by tbe captain and both his mates;yet it would be difficul. to tell why, un-less it was because be was a strappingfellow and might bo a dangerous custom-er in coming to blows.

It was not difficult however, to ac-count for the fact that the orew gene-rally looked with BD evil eye npon that

young novice ; for he was not only igno-rant of seamanship, ho was also disin-clined to work, and took matters veryeasy Even tho reproaches of his ship-mates seemed not to move him. Hehad little to say to any of us, and yet hoseemed to see and hear everything thatpassed on hoard. Every movement,whether of the crew or of the officers, waswatched with the closest scrutiny.

"Take the slush-bucket and go andslush down all three topmasts," said themate to Alpheus one morning, just aswe hove in sight of Juan Fernandez.

Alpheus took the bucket and proceed-ed to work in the most leisurely manner.I t was night before he had finished thejob.

' Now, ain't you a skulk—a lubberlyhound r" said the officer, as Alpheuscame down from aloft.

Alpheus said nothing, though severalof the crew grinned at him as if theycoincided entirely with tho mate.

Before we had reached the SandwichIslauds however, the continued ill usageon board the ship had served to combinethe crew more closely together and eventhe hauteur and laziness of Alpheus wereforgotten.

Yet a hearty laugh was raised at thethe expense of the young man when, oneof the crew expectii g punishment. Alpheus promised to use his influence in fa-vor of his downcast shipmate. M'e werelying at Honolulu; a sailor had runaway and had been caught and breujrhton board the ship l>y several natives employed to ferret out deserters among themountains.

The poor fel'ow was in irons, and asthe captain had promised to flog himwithin an inch of his life, the prospectwas not quite so ambrosial as a poet'sdream

•'Never mind, Bub," said Alpheus,onsolingly ; " I will do what I can for

y<>u."There was a general roar, and poor

Bob himself could not help smiling, ashe knew that Alpheus was the last manin the ship whose word would have anyralue with the captnin, or indeed any-body else on board.

Alpheus showed no more emotion thana porpoise at a camp meeting. Nobodywas surprised at that. We had becomeaccustomed to his peculiarities; butwhen, on the next morning, the captaincame on board in a towering passionand roared like a bull for the offendingBob, and ordered him to be seized up inthe rigging and flogged, we all turned

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITI.

LETTER FROM CFABLEY BROOKEOFFICE ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT,

THIRD DIVISION CAVALBY CORPS,

STHVF.NSUBRO, April lUth, 1864.

FIUEND POND : —

I t is i-onio time sinoe I wrote to the"Argus;" but the lack of anything worthyof note (military) must be my excuse,and from the meager accounts of thedoings of the ''Army of the Potomac,"you receive, from Washington, your rea-ders can not expect much from me.—But, sir, the time of inactivity is passed,and everything bears evidences of anearly movement on a stupendous scaleKverything is being got in readiness tobe brought to bear in the coming conflict,which will, I am certain, not be delayedmany days, and promises to be the greatest of the rebellion, and I think, decidethe fate of secession.

From the manner General GRANT hastaken hold of the army every one is hi.'hin expectation. He has commenced issuing " orders." Sutlers are to leavethe army by the 16th, (to-day). Theyhave been the bane of many a poor fel-low who has not stamina to deal withthem moderately, but on pay day fludsout he has swallowed up all his pay.—But, as much as 1 have heard againstthese. " unfortunate speculators," I thinkthey ought to be classed as " necessaryevils," for I am sure they will be muchmissed. There are many littlo thingsthe soldiers actually need, and can getonly through the Sutler. For instance,what will the soldiers do for tobacco ? Iknow many men who have become sohabituated to its use that they wouldsooner go without a meal than be de-prived of the accustomed chew or smoke.But, I suppose GeD. GRANT thinks itbest, or be would not forbid a Sutler aocompanying each division.

with a cleaver ! Break his skull i"Stand back, you impertinent Varietal"

Sxolaimed the youth, and taking a stripif paper from his bosom, he handed it tohe captain. The latter glanced over it

and turned as pale as death. He glaredat Alpheus as if be had been a ghost.

I forgive your offences this time,1'aid Alpheus ; but reuieu ber !

The captain looked down, but made imotion to his mates to cut down Bobrom the rigging. The mutes as well ashe crew seemed to be iu a dreaiu Bob

was cut down, but he could not keep hisyes from Alpheus, who bad suddenly)ecome "ihe observed of sill observers"

Alpheus descended into the cabin withhe captain, and neither "f them appear-d on deck during the day.

Three days afterwards Alpheus went>n board a homeward bound vessel andailed for the United States The con-uct of the captain underwent a changerom that hour. The rest of the voytrge?as both pleasant and successful, whilevery one wondered who was Alpheus

Bailey, an.d how he had contrived to ef-fect so great a change? We neverheard his real name mentioned, but whenthe ship reached home he came on boardof us at the wharf, and shaking handswith the crew lulled us as hia old shipmates.

As I had overheard the conversationbetween the captain nd the mate in theGulf, 1 found little difficulty in recogni-zing in Alpheus the young collegian—the son of the owner—who had taken aromantic notion to ship as a common sai-lor, and see for himself how the menwere treated by Captain Johnson. Having learned from us that the Captainhad really become an altered man, ouryoung owner continued him iu commaudof t&e ship.

A DONATION TO TIIK BALTIMORE FAIR.

—The cradle in which Rufus Ohoatewa« rocked, in his infancy, has be«ngiven to the Baltimore Fair. It reminds thfl beh/)!der of former times,and presents a decidedly substantialappearance, a* compared with articlesnow used in the nursery for eimilar pur-poses. It i« about three feet long, thebody being of pine,und the rockers ofoak.

There is one thing he has done that willdo more to better tbe condition of thearmy than aught else,—his prohibitionof liquor. Already its salutaory effectsare visible. The enlisted men can nolonger get whisky at the Commissary'son tbe order of an officer, forged if notto be had otherwise. Therefore, tem-perance becomes with the pi ii'ate, a vir-tue, through a necessity. The officersbegin, to have a realizing sense that areform is needed, and must necessarilyconform to ''orders." for it is the samewith them us the private, only that onegot his in a canteen of the Commissary,and the other, more aristocratic, by thebottle of the Sutler. I t makos gloomyfaces, but he svlio recollects the manyreverses of the Army of tho Potomac,and that the cause was traced to intoxi-cation, will say '• thank God." GeneralGHANT has made a goou beginning.

Another order of the General, is thatall officers absent irom their commandsare ordered to report at once. I thinkthere was great need of it, for many ofthe company commands devolve on Ser-sreants, all the officers being absent onleave, or off duty on some trivial excuseol sickness, often-tiraes ihe effects of aate debauch. I t is a shame to read theiotel lists in the Washington papers, andthe names of the officers of every rankthere recorded. Many thiuk they artsthere on business connected with thearmy. No, sir, not one in fifty. I cantoll you it is tho s-tudj' of many how toconcoct sjme plan by which they can getnto the city, so that they can for a timeevel in scenes of licentiousness and dis-

sipation, liut I should be doing an in-ustice Jid I not state tl)at such is not

tbe case with all, for we have someplendid officers, and I am pleased to say

many from " Old Washtenaw," \vho»enames will never be tarnished by suchcorrupt associations:

The days of sport and pleasure to theArmy of the Pott mac, for 1864, havupassed. Our Theatre, where manypleasant evenings have been spent, is alltorn to pieces and turned into a guardhouse. Many a hearty laugh have ourGenerals, as well as privates, enjoyed atthe comical contortions and awkwardpostures of " our bones " in the lateMinstrel Troupe. Such times will livein the memory, and serve for recital ofan evening, by the fireside of the '• OldVeteran," to the good wife and eagerlistening children, forming the once againhappy family circle.

They seem loth; however, to giye upthe pleasures of the race course, for yes-terday there was great excitement, owingto the news that " Jack Kucker " wasto run tho 2nd corps mare for $1,000.T i e contest came off in the afternoon,tbe mare was the favorite, and odds were

were plenty. I t was decided the marewas beat. Tho Cavalry are loud in re-vengeful expressions, claiming it to bna jocky race, they bei^g the losers. Ihear the Infantry carried off over $20,000. I think that race will wind up thesporting season.

The weather for the past week hasbeen beautiful. The sun'o warm rayswere fast drying up the mud, which wasawful after tho incessant rains of thetwo weeks prior. The ground wouldhave been in good condition for moving,but for a rain storm of 15 hours, com-mencing last evening. I t is now beauti-ful weaxher again, but how long it willcontinue, I can't say, the weather in Vir-ginia is not to be relied on. Everythingis looking spring like, the treos are fastbudding, the small bushes are in leaf, anda iarge variety of wild flowers make tbedells and river side fragrant. The airresounds with the melodious notes of thelark, robin, and other birds foreign toMichigan.

I often wonder and pay to myself whenwill this cursed strife end, so that wepoor fellows cau go home to the hearts ofour families. It does not seem realitythat we are here, facing a deadly enemy,and living as we are in seeming security.But, so it ic, f<r by going to the top ofPony Mountain their camps are plainlyto be seen, and are not more than 2 1-2miles off.

Yesterday, the 4th New York heavyartillery pabsed here to take possessionof the large siege guns we have mountedon the fortifications at Culpepper. Ithink GRANT means to make this his"base." A fow days will reveal his plans,and until then all ia speculation. I hopethey will leave him alone at Washington,and then I think all will go right.

The Boys from Ann Arbor are allwell, in fact the health of the wholeArmy of the Potomac is first rato. Iwill write you a better l 'tter as soon aswe get on the move, and I have some-thing to write about.

From thu Richmnnii Enquirer , 15th .

Review of the Situation.The efforts made by the enemy during

the past three years of the war have beensuccessfully foiled, and the fourth year |of the conflict finds both belligerents in

ery nearly the same positions that theywere at the opening of the contest. Theoss of the Mississippi river and NewOrleans were unquestionably materialnjuries to the confederate cause, butime and events have shown them not to

be irreparable Tennessee and Arkan-sas wrested from the control of the con'ederate authorities, have been of nopractical importance to the enemy. Thework of conquest and subjugation liesyet in the future The '• anaconda"strategy weakened the enemy, and gavelessons of praolical instruction to theconfederate authorities. None but a vainfflorious and boastful fee would have de-fied the lessons of military experience,and essayed a policy which has beenavoided by every great commander. Itlias been at last abandoned, and the strat-egy of concentration determined uponBut, fortunately, the follies of threeyears have very much diminished theforces of the enemy, and his conceutra-

utterly useless, we doubt whether opera-tions on tho water have not been as in-jurious to the enemy as to ourselves. Afew confederate cruisers—tho Alabama,tho Florida and the Ragpahannoek—have frightened fiom 'ho water* tlie flagthat once contested the supremacy of theseas with the mistress of tho ocean. Thebattered iron dads in Charleston harborare there " for tbe war," unles-* somerebel torpedo should se;,d them in frag-ments to ihe bottom, The policy of star-vation has not effected the coda of theenemy. At one time apprehension w a s

greatly felt for the supply of salt, butnow there is believed to bo more salt inthe confederacy than ever before at anyone time. The loss of the Mississippiw.'is siaid to have cut off the supply ofbeef cattle, and that of.Tennessee tohave deprived us of bauon and pork; butthough the quantity of these importantarticles of food has been greatly dimin-ished, yet neither the army nor the peopie are disposed, or likely, to starve.—Tbe raids of the enemy have destroyedmuch property,; but when their wastedand runed cavalry is brought in contactwith Stuart, or Forrest, or Morgan, theymay well consider which party has beenmost injuied by the raids. Numbershave not reduced tho rebellious confed-erates to loyally ; the blockade has notcurbed their defiant " treason ; " star-vation has not humbled their proudspirit; aud the fourth year of the waropens upon their armies numerous asthose of the foe, as well drilled, and inbetter morale and reudy to test, the virtueof the | olicy of concentration. Gen,Washington was made lieutenant generalafter his successful command of tho armyin the Revolutionary war; Gen. Scottwon the same honor afl.ir the triumphanttermination of tho Mexican war ; butGeneral Grant has been honored in ad-vance of the triumphs that usually bringsuch high rewards. The fickle people,that worship only at tho shrine of suecess, stripped General Scott of the lieutenant generalship as soon as B atiregarddefeated McDowell on the plains ofManassas Those fatal plains, that witnessed the humiliation of Scott and Mo-Dowell, and autin tho defeat of Pope,with his " headquarters in his saddle,"are immediately in the rear of the newlieutenant general, with his " headquarters in the field." I t would be indeeda singular concatenation of circumstan-ces if those plains of Manassas, the sceneof tho opening conflict, a field fatal tothe strategy of Seott, the tactics ofMcDowell, the ''headquarters" of Popt,should become a Waterloo to Washing,ton City and a Zama to this YankeeHannibal.

Gen. Surnside's Opinicn.I t is tbe fashion now with the

ion press to eulogise this person.disurP.-rp g p

haps, therefore, they may be interestedin tL is little reminiscence of a fact whichwe quoted at the time of its occurrence,and which is now reproduced by the his-torian, J. S. C. Abbott, in his currentHistorj of the War:

Gen. Bnrnside, at a public meeting inNew York, paid the following tribute tohis (Gen. McClellau'g) worth:

' I have known General BleClellan

Words that had tho Bark On.The Washington correspondent of the

New York Commercial Adrertiter gives,in its letter relative to the late Mr.Rives, 'ho following:

Mr. Rives was a worshiper of GeneralJackson, with whom he was on the n ostintimate terms, as l>ulilisVier of theGlobe, then edited bv Mr. Blair, and theacknowledged " organ " of Old Hickory.No man was better acquainted with theeventful administration of Gen. Jacksonthan Mr. Rives was, and F have sat inhis office hour after hour, listening to hisreminiscences Among: these were theattempts made at different times by Mr.Van Burpn, Attorney General. 13. F.But'er, Mrd othprs. to tone down andmodify Jackson's messages and procla-mations. On one occasion - it was inthe message of December 8. 1S35, on t i eFrench indemnity—GeneralJackson hadwritten :

'' The honor of my couptry shall neverbe stained by an apology from me, forthe statement of truth and the perform-ance of duty ; no? can I give any ex-planation of my official acts, except suchas is due to integrity and justice, andconsistent with the principle on whichour institutions have been framed "

" I was waiting for the Olole^s 'copy*of the message," said Mr. Rives, '' chat-ting with the General who was smokingiiis pipe, when Major Donelson. his pri-vate secretary, came in and read the pageor more of manuscript which the Cabinethad substituted for this sentence."

It was late on Sunday night, and Con-gre.-s was to mart the next n orning.—When Major Donelson had rend the sub-stituted sentenoe, the Genera) said :-r-"Now read it aoain " I t was read asecond time, and Le then rose, paced thefloor, stopped, nnd said : " Strike allthat out, sir, and put back what I wrote.That's what I njeant, and, by G—d,that's what my message shall say." Thealterations were made, and I have theoriginal copy to show that this was so.'The wo da omitted," Mr Rives wonton to reianrk, " were milk *>nd wute?,but those retained had the hark on."

tion for ihe next campaign must be madeat the sacrifice of some oue or more ofthe points that have already been gained.If Virginia is selected for the theatre oftho war this year, either the army inTennessee, or before Charleston, or be-yond tho Mississippi must be weakenedbefore the numbers necessary cau be col-lected. The two millions of men whichthe muster rolls of the enemy exhibitexist only in idle boast. Grant's Armyof the Potomac numbers at best notmore than fifty thousand of all arms.—Tho two corps, the Eleventh and Twelfthrecently brought from Tennessee, num-bering together but eight thousand menBuraeide's corps, the Ninth, never verylarge, has been recruited with negroesand uew men, and the more of these hohas collected the less formidable willthey prove, before the Reasoned and war-worn veterans they "vill meet, whetherthey advance from the Kappahannock orup tbe Peninsula. Sigel, in the lowervalley, has a small force neither formid-able iu numbers nor iu leadership.—Grar.t concentrated about ninety thou-sand men in Chattanooga, drawing thornfrom the Army of the Potomac on thee-)st, and the army at Vicksburg on thewest. But from what quarters can hecollect ninety thousand for the springcampaign? Ho may wi'hdraw the tenor fifteen thousand men tu»t havo beenFor nearly a year besieging Charleston— -but these are in part negroes, and to thatextent a positive injury. It he furtherweakens Sherman's force in Tennessee heputs in hazard all tho work of the lastthree years. These facts plainly showthe advance made toward final triumphby the confederate armies. The equali-zation of forces in point of numbers re-duces the final triumph within the roachof o"ne or two important yietofies. Theblockade has been vory successful; iihas closed every port but one, and great-ly injured the trade through that. Ithas much enhanced ihe financial difficul-ties of the confederate authorities, but,it has done little else toward accomplishing tbe ends and objeots of tbe war.—-When to tbe ocst of the blockade areadded the large expenditures of the ene-

" Thi! noble mis-ion of this great patriotic festival should be made known to«Vcry hamlet iu the land, ai;d the suc-cess of ihe fair should be commensurate•with tho sacrcdnees of our cause and thegreatness of the nation Fr iends "f theUnion !

To I heir heroicand res'le.*8 valor, which lias on nianjr abloodstained Held cloaven down the hopesof the rebellion, we owe the assured res-toration of national unity and publictntnquil i ty. A n imperilled nation catinot forget its preservers; a free peoplewill not neglect the defenders of its lib-erties.

Thodemand* of tho Tribune's man for sol-diere' votes in that state were compliedwith, and the following letter showsthat since storms at HO:I prevented suchfi tise from sorno of the men Kent off Ifrom N01 th Carolina, by delaying theirvessel, even the pretext of furloughswus flouted, and tho so!di«rs sent tothe field ngain without the least scru-plo:

ARMY PKNCHANT TOR NEWSPAPEHS —Oeo. Augustus Siila says, in his lastle ter to the London Telegraph:

The American soldiers console them-elves for their enforced abstinence byticking any quantity of lollypopp, bymoking any Dumber of short pipes, byshewing any number of quids, and byeading any number of newspapers.—The consumption of journalism in thofederal armies is tremendous, and the>erusttl of newspapers appears to yieldhe nvjn unceasing and unfailing delight[ have heard that on ihe battlefield ofAn tie tarn, in the intervals of the blood-

An editor who willao prostitute his columns, is unworthyof even being cited to answer for a con-tempt of court, and Judge BARNAKD

He was com-menting upon the evidence of a witnesswho had testified to receiving moneyfor his vote, and closed as follows :—"But the most dazzling and munificentpresent of all was reserved for tho Sur-veyor General, George D. Hill, to se-cure this vote—a pair of noblo elk—doubtless, magnificent I 1 can imaginethe exultation of the Surveyor Generalwhen lie received the^o animals !

The flames extended to themarble shop on the west and (he paint shopon the east, which were both burned to the{round; and also to the dwelling south ofthe Paint Shop which v,as saved by the exer-tions of the firemen from total destruction,tut looks as though it had undergone a bom-bardment.

The marble shop was owned and occupied*yJoH!i EISELE, who had $100 insurance ontailding, and $600 on stock—8500 of it inibe Home and $200 in the Germania,—whichcovers his loss.

JOHN K E C * owned the middle building, in

which the fire originated, and occupied bothU»t and the corner one. K large portion of•»» furniture was saved, and his loss willamount to about $ . Ha was insured $500M the Corn Exchange.

The corner building was owned by E. W."oasAK, Esq.,—uninsured,—and the dwell-lnein the rear was owned by JAMES B. L*W-»I and occupied by J£rs. £ E W I S . The land0D whu-h the four buildings stood was ownedby Mr. MORGAN.

Mr. MOBGAN had stored inthe corner build-ing »bout four miles of Pump Pipe, worth•'.380, which makes his loss about 81,500,"'sides future ground rents.

iritipttHow to Choose a Cow.

Tiicro is always some risk in buyinga cow, of whose previous character andhistory we know nothing, for there areno infallible signs of excellence. Arough, scrawny, coarse, ill-shapen cow isoften a noble milker. Yet there are afew points generally agreed upon by ex-perienced farmers, which it is well toconsider before purchasing. A smallboned head and light horns are betterthan largo. Long legs make too wide ;igap betwixt udder and milk pail, aedlong-legged cows are seldom quiet feed-ers, but wander about too much. Aeleuder rather than a thick neok, astraight back, wide ribs and broad brisk-et, are to bo sought for. The body ofthe cow should be large in proportion tohead, neck, and legs, though Bdt exoes-sivcly large; aud tho hind quarters iflarge out of- proportion indicate g >odmilking qualities. Medium sized co vs,all thing* considered, prove tho best milkera for tho amount of feed they a msumeThe color of the hair has pro I I) uothin" to do with the milking [ualities, findgood looks should be reg!r I b tin purehasing dairy anim >lscolor of the skin, a brigh'preaching th«t of gold eoi

Test the cow's disposition and inquire about it. Irrita •and uervous cows are unpleasant to bau 1le, and almost always scanty milkers.-Something can be ascertained from t relooks and motion. Large, mild eyes,easy quiet motions when driven, and gen-tleness when bundled, indicate good na-ture What the butchers term "goodhandliDg " is an important quailty in amilch cow, for it indicates not only goodmilking properties, but easy fattening,when service in tin: dairy is over.

Best Potatoes to Ra.se for Market,I! RicpliiMis writes to the American

Aqiicu.Hv.rist: ' Having bcvn eniznwed inselliiTg pntatoefl in Now York for thepast eighteen years, I would state for theinformation of fnrmtrs, tlnit in potatoesintended for this market, the followingqualities are requisite : large size, whiteskin, white fl.'sh, and to be dry and mealywhen cooked, ^uch are sure to com-mand ready snle and the highest prices,and all not having this character willhave to be sold as second class or 'ship-ping potatoes.' Therefore it is folly fora farmer to use his ground for a poorCi-op, when the-same labor and expense,with a proper seleo'ion of seed, in regardto the requirements of the market,would yield a larger crop of potatoes,which would meet with ready sale, andat larger prices, it no more expense offreight and selling. Wo have a greatvariety of new seedlings brought to no-tice every season by interested parties.In order to sell seed, they make greatstatements, as to quality and large yield(on paper), but when sent to market as afarm crop, they are found wanting, anddie out to make room for something newthe next season. The valuable varietiasof potatoes and those that are in gooddemand, are those that hava been origi-nated by farmers, and their merits havebrought the'ti into general use. Suchare the Blue Mereer, Dykeman, PeachBlow, Prince Albert, Jackson White,June, etc.; whereas of many fancy kinds,put before the farmers from year to year,by seed raisers and sellers, none areworthy of planting as n farm crop. Thefollowing are some of tbe weil knownkinds from which farmers can make se-lections, suitable to their soil, being sureof good average yield and having anarticle that is saleable at all times.

Foreariv: Dyketaan, June, Buckeyeand Jncksou White, maturing in the or-der here given —the Dykeman being thekind universally grown by the early truckraisers of Long Island and New Jersey.For later, the Light Blue Mercers,Prince Albert, and Peach Blow. Thereis also a new variety, the White PeaehBlow, originated and raised in Mon-mouth Co., N. J., which has comemarket the past season, which bids fairto be a valuable potato and worthy oftrial. It is a white i kinned potato, witha pink eye, of good size, white fleshed,cooks dry mid mealy, very muoh resem-bling the Buckeye in outward appesntnee,but is a late grower, ar:d is said to yieldequal to the common Peach Blow."

Mr. Clias. S. Van Liew. of New Brunswck, JV. J.,had dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuseof mercury, or mercurial disease, which grew moreand more as#ruvated for years, in spite of everyremedy or treatment that could be applied, until thepersevering use of AYEK"S SAHSAPABII-LA relievedhim. Few cases can be found more inveterate anddistressing than this, aud it took several dozen bot-tles to cure him.Louoorrhosa, Whi tes , Female Weakness ,

are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ulcer-ation, aud are very often cured by the alterativeeffect of this SAUSAFAIULLA. Some cases require,however, in cid of the SAKSAPAMLLA, tbe skilfulapplication of local remedies.From the well-known and. widely-celebrated Dr.

Jacob Morrill, of Cincinnati." I have found your SAKSAPARILLA an excellent

alterative in diseases of females Many cases of ir-regularity. Leucorrhcca, Internal Ulceration, andlocal debility, arising from the scrofulous diathesis,have yielded to it, and there are few that do not,wheu itseffect is properly aided by local treatment."A lady, unu'illing to allow the publication, of her

name, writes:"My daughter and myself have heen cured of a

very debilitating Lcucorrhoea of long standing, bytwo bottles of your SAKSAPARILLA."Rheumatism, Gout. Liver Complaint, Dys-

pepsia Hear t Disease, Neuralgia,when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidlycured by this EXT. SAKSAPARILLA.
