D e t r o i t - l a I t "Old FogyP"

Time once waa when Detroit was cslled "Old Fogy." Time onco wss, perhsps, when the City of the Straits merited thst title. Should the solid men of Detroit sll still and see their beautiful city fenced in and white wuhed by Vanderbilt's new tunnel prnject tbey will certdnly deserve i.o belter name than "Old Fogy," to-day, hcuceforth and forever. Detroit has sn epportunity to make herself one of the most thriving commercial centeraofthe weal. Failure to improve ths opportnnily will leave it a hemmed in aide station for railroad paasengera to^pily and laugh at. There seems to be, however, a general waking np to a seiue of the dlnation in Ditroil, and it begins to look u though something would be done to save tbe dly. Ths iron Is hot and the time to strike is now

The Detroit Evening Newa will please atand np and explain how it can consistently advocatethethehardeatkindofhard money doctrine and at the same time support the greenback ticket.—LOWBU. JOCBKAL.

The Newa this lime w u supporting the man sod cot the principle, Ihoogb, by the wsy, Mr. May ia a hard money greenbacker whom even ths LOWKU. JOUE.SAL might support consistency,—Det, News.

The News gets us agdn. A "hard money greenbacker" would be a curiosity out thia way. Hera, in the general acceptation of the terms, a "hard money" man and a "green> backer" are directly oppoaite in their viewa and doctrines and nothing short ol a miracle oonld make cither a "hard money greenback er." If tbe inoompatibility has been over-oome in Mr. May's caae, then we'll acora an other point in our record of poiiticd anoma-lies, and alndy it with more peraererance than —hope.

It is evident that the ascent of the ladder of better timea b u already commenced Buaineu men feel it, larmere aee it and d i rejoice that it ia so. The sea son opena moat anspicioaaly in a bnainesa point of view. The cry of "hard timee" ia fdntly heard now where a year ago It was loud and frequent. Thia ia trne not only in onr own midst, but dmost everywhere we see evidences of restored confidence followed by a

natural m i v a l of bnainesa and mannlactcr ing interaeta, ao lent dormant. Oar mocey ia good and wo know to-day what a dollar will ba worth to-morrow. Money la plenty and can be had if you have anvthing to get it with, and ron never u w tbe time when Ttti conld get it any other way, without ateai-log it. Buineaa la bdng done on a solid

hsa'ia now and J u t ao long u it ia kept there we ahall have more prosperity and fewer

panica; better timea and less grnmbhag. Let congreu stop tinkering the financce and go home and plant polatoea and corn and aheartbeir sheep, or do something to Iced the markets. This is the richcst country _ on earth, tbe beat oonntry underlthe'snn, and if the agltatora will let it alone it will be the mod prosperous of d i nationa for d l time lo come and there will be peace aad plenty lor for d l .

T h e P a r t y o f F r n m l .

The Uoniocnitic party uow propoHos to |K)isun the very luiintnins of self-governnu'iil. I>y dcslroyiiiK laws for the prevention of fraud at eltn-tionH Unless llu'se laws are repealed, Deni ocrats declare that Uiey will refuse appropriations. As Mr." Garlield said in his powerful SIKHTII. those who tried to shoot the (ioverninent to death now threaten to starve it to death. And their alternative is star-vation or iwison; unless the ( lovem-mont will suffer the very spriiiRS of freedom to lie poisoned, by f raud and moh-ruln a t elections, il shall be starved by refusal of supplies. The threat comes naturally from the party which, at every crisis in affairs for forty years, has tried to carry elec-tions by f raud and force, and which, during all t ha t time, has fought with stubborn and malignant Intensity of purpose ngainst every measure for the prevention or punishment of fraud.

In April, 1838, the Judiciary f o m -inittee reported to the Assembly of this State that "men vote who do not reside in the ward; often not in the State; aliens are frequently brought to the polls and their votes imposed upon the inspectors, although many of them have not been a week in the country, and voters are not unfrequent-ly taken from poll to poll,voting in three or four different wanis at the same election. These an Uu frauds mntlaut-ly praclUed at nur electiotu, to the di* grace of the State and to the manifest wrong of the whole country." William I - Marcy was at that t ime Governor of this State, and tlie Democratic party, under him and President Van lluren, had already commenced that career of fraud which finally gave us the Tam many King and the stolen election of 18(18. and thus brought the Vnited States Congress to see the necessity of stringent Federal election laws.

In every great emergency in its his-tory. the Democratic party has tried to carry elections by fraud. When it was battling for its very life in 1844. the State of Louisiana was carried for Polk by m majority, and the oppon-ents of Democracy in the other Slates were greatly disheartened, for a t the previous Presidential election the State had given a Whig majority nearly half as large as the entire vote for Van Uuren. I t was found that the Demo-cratic vote had nearly doubled in four years. More than the entire Demo-cratic majori ty in the State was given by Phujuemines Parish, when 1,007 Democratic votes and UIO Democratic majority were returned. Ye t that par-ish had cast only WO Democratic votes a t the previous Presidential election; il gave only 850 in 1848, four years later, and never its many as 400 a l any election f rom 1844 until the rebellion; it gave only iiTil Democrrtic votes ia 18il8, twenty-four years Inter, and only 400 according to either count in 1K72. The method and niagnitude of this fraud were exposed by a s|>ecial com-mittee of the Louisiana House, which rejwrtcd in 1845 that "the testimony proved l)eyond all doubt that the elec-tion was conducted in a lawless and irregular manner, and that it was fraught with Illegal votes, with fraud and corruption. Nevertheless, the Democratic party enjoyed the fruits , prevented the punishment of the crim-inals, and never permitted the pas:mge of laws for the prevention of fraud. By means of gross frauds in Pennsyl-vania and New York that party triumphed in both States, and in tlie Presidential election of 1844. and tlie indignation of the people contributed not a little to the overwhelming de-feat of the Democratic candidates in 1/ouisiana. Pennsylvania and New-York at the next Presidential election, thousands.

In ls.*)4 the Democratic party cap-tured Kansas by fraud. The report of the Congressional Committee shows that only 1,114 legal and 1,720 illegal voles were cast al the election in the Territory tha t year In March. 1855, there were cast at an election of mem-bers of the Legislature 0;ii0 voles, o( which, according to a census previously taken by a Democratic Governor. 4,ltG8 wore illegal votes. The massacre of many peaceable settlers, which attend-ed these repeated invasions of the em-bryo Slate, and the infamous cruelty and bloodthirsty violence there dis-played, so aroused public opinion at the North that Kansas liecame a free and intensely Itepublican Stale, and Democracy lost its prey.

In 1858 the Democratic parly again fought for its life in Pennsylvania. A Congressional cummillee afterward took testimony showing the nature of the means then adopted to secure a Democratic majority. In the report of the Covode investigation the results are thus stated:

I t is well known to the American people tha t stupendous frauds were perpetrated in the election of 1850, in Pennsylvania, by means of forged and nctitious naturalization pajx-rs. ' It will b« seen by the testimony of William Karns that these papers were first prepared and obtained in Phila delphia, some of them bearing the seal and the signature of a prolhonolary who deceased about the year 1850, anil others with forged seals and signatures or genuine ones obtained in some man-ner from the proper oflicers in Phila delphia. These were distributed over the SUite by hundreds, and probably by

K a m s testified that those which he received came in three packages, under dilTerent franks. "One of them, I know, was under the frank of Gover-nor UigV," he said. This is the same Democratie statesman, by the way, who sent cipher dispatches from Lou isiana to Gramercy Park in 187*1, lie-ginning "Higler to Ilussia." Karns alone received two or three hundred of these forged pa|iers for use in one city—Heading. How many were sent out through the whole State, or used in Philadelphia, w ill never lie known, bnl they came lo Kansas f rom one Brown, a prominent Democrat then in the Custom House at Philadelphia. At the same election il wa^ proved by other witnesses that the Democratic Committee alone spent over 870,000 to carry tha t State^esides many thousands more which were given by Cornelius Wendell, by partners in printing and binding jolw and in the infamous live-oak contracts, to be used in the Con-gressional districts. In short, the Democrats spent in that single Stale twenty years ago more money than was disbursed for all purjioses. in all the States, by the Republican Congress-ional Committee in 187il, us has re-cently been proved by the testimony of Mr. Gorhani. Bu t with all tneirex-pendilures of money, the Democrats still required thousands of forged nat-uralization papers to save themselves f rom defeat in 1850.

The next great struggle in which the Democratic parly had any hojie of sue-oess was in 1808. In order to triumph in t h a t election, many Southern States were carried by force and murder, whilo Tammany resorted to frauds then without parallel, and thereby se-cured the electoral votes of N e w York. A Congressional Committee, a f t e r thorough investigation, reported tha t -all f r auds in our past history, appall-ing nnd startling as these have been,

were surpassed by those ]>erpelrated In the Stale, and especially in the City of New-York;" that these frauds "were the result of a systematic plan of gigantic proportions, wi th the Uireut sanction, aid or approval of many pro-iiiinent ollicials and citizens of New Y o r k a n d that "these frauds were so varied in character that they compre-hend every known crime against the elective franchise." The evidence proved that 105,000 blank applications for ahd 00,000 ccrtificaies of naturali-zati.m were printed for the two courts in this city, of which thousands were sent to other counties; that4l ,112 per-sons were naturalized here, of whom the committee reported that 24,010 were fraudulently natural ized; and that about 47,000 other certificates were probably used, ei ther in this or oilier Stales, of which there is no record. The testimony also proved that gangs of repeaters traversed the city, first registering and a f tewanl vot-ing on itssumed names. Men who were engaged in this work testified that they were hired by prominent Democratic ollicials, and protected by the very oflicers whose duty i t was to arrest them. The committee believed, from the evidence, tha t not less than 50.000 illegal voles were polled at that election.

These were the disclosures which led to the passage of tha t very election law whieh a Democratic Congress now threatens to repeal. The same lawyer who, as clerk of the Congressional rommitteo, was enabled to inspect the records of the courts and expose the frauds, has been enabled by the law, and by nis appointment as Supervisor here, to stop illegal voting by thous-ands of persons. I t is in order to sweep away that obstacle, and to steal the electoral votes of this State by casting 50.000 illegal votes once more, that the Democrats are now seeking the repeal of the law. In e \ e r y e m e r -geney for forty yea's, Democracy lias resorted to fraud, ami it has no other ho|H) of success in the next election.— A'. Y. Tribune.

Hoiitheru S e n t i m e n t s .

From the Okolona ill ins.) Soul hern Slatrs, March 20.

Who was is it said the Yankee yel-low fever fund had reunited our re-public in bonds of brotherly love; that there would be no more harsh passa-ges at arms between the North and the South; that the lion had laid down with the lamb, and all that kind of fol-de-rol ?

Was i t t h e Consenrativeo? Yes, wo lielieve—in fact, we know-

it was the Conservatives, for they are forever saying or doing something that is distinguished for its tom-foolery.

Well. It seems tha t all the old wounds were reopened in that Jeffer-son Davis confab, in the United States Senate, and the two sections are now whetting their knives for a Preaiden-tial tight in 1880.

We knew it! We told you so!

Jeff. Davis ought to havo been hung, —Allegan (Mich.) Journal.

Ha! liut you didn't dare bring him to trial, even.

You knew betu-r. You knew that the law and the facts

would rise up mountain high to con-front and condemn you for your red-handed crusade upon the Confed-eracy.

You knew that secession would be adjudged legal.

You knew that coercion would be adjudged unconstitutional.

You knew that Davis was a patriot, who had simply performed his duty in following the fortunes of his sovereign s ta te .

You knew these things, and.therefore, you knew Iwtter than to bring our illustrious ex-President to trial.

Treason was rampant in this Kepub-lic from I8in to 1805.

Yes. sir. A nd your parly comprised all the

traitors, and the necks of your parly leaders ought to have been cracked on the gallows tree.

Yes. sirs, we repeat i t ; the Federal Brigadiers must take back seats in the work of restoring the I 'nion. Lincoln hirelings are played out In thisRepul)-lic of ours, now tha t we have captured the Capitol.

It may become the imperative duty of President Davis to accept a United Stales Senalorship, whether he wants il or not. These Yankees must be taught a lesson.

Congress swarms with Bourbons of the old family pattern, and they are making things red hot for Yankee Rad-icals and Southern softshels.

Stand back there, ye Federal Uriga-diers! Stand back, we say. The old Confederate boys propose to run this Republic from now on.

Mississippi has more power in the Union of t ^day than Massachusetts: Three cheers and a Bengal tiger!

Lincoln and his mob. yclept the Union army, were t r a i to r^ ami their treason must be made odious.

Down with the reconstruction laws! I.et tlie last one of them be repealed.

We have captured the Capitol with a vengeance. 'Rah for Randal l!

Dinna ye hear the slogan ?—'Tis Ran-dall and his men.

Tbe South is marching on.

As a political diet "crow" doesn't s< em to be much more popular or pal-atable in Michigan this year than in years gone by.

T H E New York Times has been in-terviewing Democratic politicians all over the country and finds tha t there are enough of them favorable to Tilden to secure his nomination, l iut is there enough of voters favorable to him to elect him, or hasn' t anvlhidy thought of t h a t ?

T I I K recent debates in Congress have revived in the most unexpected and forcible manner tbe war issue, the one issue on which the Democrats cannot carry the country. They have never yet carried Ohio and New York on it, and unless they carry these Stales, one or both, next fall, they cannot win Ihe next presidential election.

T H E suliscription to the 4 per c e n t loan on Friday, including $40,000,000 by one bank in New York City and £12,000.000 by other New York banks, w.-is an event in financial history which cannot easily be matched. I t was certainly a very substantial evi-dence of confidence in the Government, and the highest possible proof of the coundness of our national credit.

T H E new Democratic revolution is having ila legitimate effect upon tbe people as is shown by the largely in-creased Republican majorities in Rhode Island. Ohio Wisconsin, Michi-gan and wherever else the people have h:ui an opportunity to express their views through the bal lo t The Con-federate Democrats have made their own issue and the people will be ready for it when the t ime comes.

There are not enough convicts in the Joliel, 111., prison to meet tbe con-tracts made for labor by the State, and unless there is an increase of crime the Sta te will have to pay •160 a day to over this want .

As indicating the reputation of the Michigan Agricultural College abroad, last summer a package containing a red powder was sent from London, England, to Prof. Cook, to t ry as a sub-s t i tu te for Paris green in destroying the jiotato beetle. Last week Mr. Hem-i n g w a y s member of the firm which manufactures this powder, made a journey from London to this place, to ascertain the results of that trial and the value of his powder as an insect poison. I t seems that the powder is a residue left in the manufacture of dye-s tuffs ; it contains as large a per cent of arsenic in an insoluble form as in Par-is green, whereas it can be supplied witli good profit at from 0 to 7 cents per |Kmnd.—Lamtfni/ Republican.

A Singular Casnallty,

An army officer who recently arrived in Chicago from the Yellowstone Val-ley tells a story of what happened to a herd of buffaloes its they were migrat-ing southward. The herd numbered two thousand five hundred, head, and had been driven out of the Milk lllver country by the Indian hunters belong-ing to Sitting Hull's band. When they reached the river they ventured upon the ice with their customary confidence, coming upon it with a solid front , and la-ginning the crossing with closed ranks. The stream at this point was very deep. When the f ron t file, which was stretched out a quar ter of a mile in length, bad nearly gained the opjio-site shore, the ice suddenly gave way under them.

Some trappers who were eye-wltnes-ses of the scene said that It seemed its if a trench had been opened In the ice the whole length of the column. Some four or five hundred animals tumbled into tbe opening all In a heap. Others fell in on top of them and sunk out of sight in a twinkling, liy this time the rotten Ice was breaking under the still-advancing herd. The trappers say that in less than a minute the whole body of buffaloes had been precipitated into the river. They were wedged in so thickly that they could do nothing but straggle for a second and then dis-apjiear beneath the cakes of ice of tlie swif t current. Not a beast in all that mighty herd tried to escape, but in a solid phalanx they marched to their fatal bath in the "Dig Muddy." In a minute from the t ime the first ice broke not a buffalo's head or tail was to be seen.

Important Discovery.

The problem of the utilization of poor iron has been solved by an inven-tion patented in the United States and Europe. The object of the inventor has bt^n to make superior iron from orcsof any description or f rom pig iron, by purifying t he inferior qualities a t one smelting operation. H e does this by placing nay one ton of inferior iron in a furnace capable of resisting great hea t ; to this is added 100 lbs. of good iron and from to 06 lbs. of scoria, or tap-cinder. These are melted to-gether for two hours and a half a t tlie heat in which steel melts. When drawn off the metal Is found to lie per-fectly refined iron. The chief merit of the Invention is, however, that a steel equal to liessemer's can be made from a poor pig iron or ores a t one smelting by the following process: The same quantities as before of poor iron and scoria are melted with 100 lbs. of scrap iron for forty minutes a t the tempera-ture ot melting steel. I t will then be found that the scoria doating on the surface has taken up tlie impunities. This is drawn off, and 2& or 2(1 lbs. of hemati te added to the mixture, the .hole being lightly stirred. Three

ounces of black oxide of manganese are then introduced, and this Is Imme-diately followed by one-half a pound to 3) pounds of chloride of ammonia. The furnace is run again thirty min-utes, when 100 lbs. of spiegel eisen is introduced, and the whole lightly stirred. The invention is of the great-est importance to any d is t r ic t whore impure iron is produced, and it will doubtless, on the re turn of a brisk trade, be t he means of giving It a new lease of life.

Extraordinary Water Works.

The debt of Pit tsburg, P a , is now about $16,000,900, The greatest item tha t this has been incurred for is the elaborate system of water works. These are the most stupendous things of their kind on tbe cont inent Water is pumped up from the 300 feet to two large reservoirs by a couple of pump-ing engines, which are among the very largest of the kind in tlie world, and cos tin, marvel wheels steam cylinder nine feet in diameter, and a t nine strokes per minute one alone of these colossal affairs would supply the city with a larger number of gallons of water per capita for its population than is had by any other city population in America. Their chief compensation for this outlay is the consolation tha t their children's children, even should they multiply for fifty i t a r s as fas t as they have for the

BI. u i m o KIHU i n u i o w u n u , a n u

ng about 6000,000. They are quite elous in their way. The fly ils are SO feet in diameter, the

last half-century, nnd though the pres-ent bituminous smut increase in a liko ratio, will ever have enough water to render them always next akin to god-liness, though they do live in the dirti-est city in the Union.

The Revision of tbe Bible

F r o m t h e I loaton Adver t iaer ,

The fac t that the version of the 151-ble in comuion use is not regarded by the scholars as a perfect translation of the original Hebrew and Greek Scrip-tures has been familiar to the mass-es, not only by the frequent corrections inailu by preachers in their pulpits, but by many independent translatluns which have been put out dur ing the liisl twenty-five years. These transla-tions have, indeed, met with no gen eral favor, nnd have sometimes, by their iinperfections and their ill-advis-ed deviations from the old version, seenr.-d to endear the la t ter more than ever to the popular hear t ; bu t they have, nevertheless, had the effect of disturbing the almost superstitious contldence which men have begun to put in the authorized version. There uru certain errors In it which almost every one has learned a l iout There are obsolete words which have to be explained afresh to every child. There are inaccuracies which unnecessarily obscure what might easily be made clear. The progress of biblicals nnd philological knowledge,and the discov-ery of manuseripts of the New Testa-ment far olderand more accurate than those from which the authorized ver-sion was made, have rendered i t posi-ble to satisfy the reasonable desire, on the one hand more perfectly to repro-duce for common use the meaning of the Scriptures and on the other to issue such a version as by the very method of its production would in-spire contldence in its accuracy and would forestall other one-sided at-tempts to improve the common ver-sion.

Accordingly, in the Spring of 1870, the Convocation of Canterbury, repre-senting the larger portion of the Angli-can Church, resolved to Inaugurate a revision of the authorized version. Certain members of the Convocation were designated to serve in the work, and other scholars, members both of the established church and of the non-conformist bodies, were added to the number, there being about fifty in all, of which one-half consti tute the Old Testament Company, and the other half the New Testament Company. The most noteworthy facts respecting the work are as follows: The new version is to be a revision of the old one, not a new translatipn. The pur-pose Is "to introduce as few alterations as possible in the text of the author-ized version consistently with faith-fulness." (2) The changes are, further, to lie so limited as not lo affect the gen-eral style of the old version. Archaic expressions are not t o be changed when they cause no obscurity. When changes are made, the principle adopt-ed is "to limit as far as iiossible, the expression of such alterations to the language of the authorized and earlier English versions." That is, if words not now found in the Bible must be in-troduced for the sake of faithfulness, they shall, if jtossible, not lie such as have a modern sound out of keeping with the general style of the Bible. (3) Every part of each of the Testaments is Ufbe revised by the whole ivmiianu charged with its revision. (4) Every book of the Uiblo must be gone over twire, and at the second revision a vole of two-thirds is necessary in order to change any reading of the authorized version.

In the autumn of 1872, at the re-quest of the liritish committee, a re-vision committee was organized in the United States, consisting of about twenty-five members, divided Into two companies, like the Hrillsh committee. It consists of representative scholars of all the leading Protes tant deuomi-natious. They are subject to the same rules as the liritish revisers, and labor in conjunction with them in the fol-lowing manner : Tlie result of the first revision of some portion of the Bible is transmitted in a printed form to the American committee, and this is carefully examined and compared with the authorized version and with the original text by each member for himself. Then, in monthly meetings of two days' duration each, each com-pany meets in New York to deliberate ujion the proposed changes. They re-solve to r^iain the reading of the au-thorized version, or t o make new changes not proposed by the British company, or to modify the changes proposed by the British. When this work has lieen done twice, i t is sent to England, where it is made use of by the British company in their second revision. This second revision is then transinilted to the American compa-nies, who then again comjiare the dif-ferences, and decide whether they will adhere to their former proposals or ac-quiesce in the Krllish revision. In this way, by successive comitarieons, and sometimes by special discussions of the more Important passages, the number of the divergences is reduced as much as possible. The relations between tlie two committeca are iwrfectly friendly, and the co-oiieratlon of different de nominations has on neither side of the ocean led to any friction

The revision of t he New Testament is now nearly complete. That of the old Testament will not be ready for publication for about three years. In England the University presses have engaged to publish the revised Bible, and, a t they will have a copyright on it, they liear the expenses incurred by the British revisers in Uieir work. In the United States there will benocopy-right, and the A merican revisers not only devote their t ime and study to the work of the revision, but also assume the itecuniary ex|>ense of i t except in so far as interested fr iends voluntarily contribute money for this purpose. U p to the present lime such contributions have been sufficient to meet the actual expenses incurred by the committee! I t is to lie hojied that this aid will be continued. I^ss than $2,000 a year will be needed for the short period dur-ing which the work is to continue. A finance committee has been organized, which receives and disburses funds for this purpose.

School Luw.

O F F I C I A L H U L I N O S A N D DECISIONS.

1. All teachers employed a t public expense must be qualified within the meaning of the law by holding projier certificates. This requirement applies to assistant teachers as well as to prin-cipals. In a district employing sever-al teachers, if one should fail to have a valid certificate of qualification, the claim of the district to a share in public school moneys is invalidated.

2. A teacher can not claim pay for holidays that 'occnr in the midst of a vacation; but if school is taught up to and including the last school-day pre-ceding a holiday, and resumed imme-diately a f t e r such holiday, no deduc-tion from the teacher's wages can be made for such holiday observed.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

Tbe School of Cookery.

In her last miblic lecture before the Boston School of Cookery Miss Parloa illustrated the following among other rcelpts:

SODA n i s c u i T .

Take one quar t of flour, before i t is sifted, and put into the sieve, and with it one teaspoonful of saleratus, two of cream of tartar,one of salt, and one tablespoonful of white sugar. Mix all these tboroughly with the flour; then run through the sieve, and then rub In one spoonful of lard or butter. Wet with a little over half a pint of milk, Boll on the board about an inch th ick; cut with a biscuit cutter, and bake in a qulclt oven fifteen minutes. If you have not milk, use a little more butter, and wet with water. Handle as little and make as rapidly as possible.

O K A I I A M M U F F I N S .

Into a liowl put one and a half pints of (fralmin, half a cup of sugar and a little s a l t Now Into the sieve pu t half a pint of flour, one teaspoonful of saleratusand two of cream tar tar . Mix thoroughly with the flour, and then s i f t on to tbe material in tbe bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly while dry, and then mid two well-beaten eggs and milk enough to make a butter tha t will drop f rom the spoon readily. F i l l the muffin-cups about two-thirds full , mid bake in a quick oven.

C O D D L E D A I ' I ' L E S .

Pare and core with an applo-corer; cook the same as for apple sauce; bu t allow one pint of sugar to one quart of water.

COITN C A K E .

Three teacups of Indian meal, one teaspoonful of s a l t one tablespoonful of sugar, one of butter, we t this wi th boiling water, and then beat in one egg; spread half-an-inch deep buttered tin sheets, and bake brown in a quick oven. This is delicious.

M E A T HASH.

Chop fine any kind of cold meat (be-fore chopping dredge wi th salt and pepper. Th i s is always the best man-ner of seasoning hash, as by this means all parts will be seasoned alike). If you have cold potatoes, chop fine and mix with the meat ; if they are hot, mash. Allow one-third meat to two-thirds potato. Pu t this mixture in the frying-pan, with a li t t le wate r to moist-en it, and s t i r in a spoonful of butter , or if you have nice beef drippings, use tha t instead of but ter . Heat slowly, st irr ing often, and, when wanned through, cover and let stand on a mod-erately hot part of the stove or range twenty minutes. When ready to dish, fold as you would an omele t and dish. Save all tbe tr immings and pieces tha t are left of all kinds of meat, and have a hash once or twice a week. It does not hurt a hush to have different kinds of meat in it. Avoid having a hash grenf t .

Pica for a Sick ICoom.

A writer in the Kochester Rural Home makes the following sensible suggestions, which architects mid house-builders should take into se-rious considemtion:

One of the worst faul ts of our very , faulty modern architecture, as applied to houses, is found in the fact that our architects do not lake into their plans the jiossibllitles of sickness in the fam-ily. Now, IO house is properly con-structed tba t has not in it a room or rooms expressly designed for Ihe ac-commodation of the sick and infirm. This room should, in the first place, have a warm, sunny exposure. The window light should be ample, and command the widest possible view. Tbe first essential in a sick room is a good, liberal fire place. Through i t and by means of the warmth which it generates, the whole room Is k e p t in ils atmospheric conditions, wholesome und pure. Not only so, but a slow, burning fire, wi thl ts ' l ights and shades, its rising sparks nnd glowing brands, its curling and many colored smoke, and its changeful embers, furnishes ceaseless diversion to the sick one who lies watching i t Nothing is more soothing and quieting than the influ-ence which subtly steals into the senses of him who gazes dreamily into the gentle flame. I t is companionship it-self. The walls, too, sbeuld have their proper adornments. Pictures that sug-gest quiet and peace, and the free, f resh life of nature outside, should be on them, A bracket, with its vases of flowers; a green clambering vine, cling-ing ambitiously to the ceiling; a library case tilled with familiar nooks: curtains that soften the light while admit t ing it—all these are helpful to one who lies in weakness, and can take no more of life than what the little room re-veals. Better still, if jns t outside of the window stand a tree with the branches so placed t h a t the leaves of some almost sweep the pane. How much the sight of twigs, buds and leaves, stirred by the wind and flecked with bright gleams of the sun, can cheer the mind of one who lite upon the pillow idly looking a t them! The central thought expressed in a well constructed sick room is—diversion. The object of its construction and loca-tion should lie to give perfect accom-modation and protection to the InTalid, while a t the same t ime it suggests the beauty and the freedom of being un-confined—the life and unimatlon of the great out-door world beyond.

Onr Scrap-Bag.

If persons who are troubled with a s ingrowing toenail will carefully tuck a small bit of common sponge under the troublesome comer of the naiUhey will soon forget about i t

As to keeping maple sugar and mo-lasses. whether canned or o therwise i t should be stored in a dark, cool and dry place; tbe cellar will do if theae conditions are found there.

Soak the parts of calico that are mil-dewed in two par ts of chloride of lime to four jiarls of water for two hours, or till the mildew has disap* peared; then thoroughly rinse.

I t Is a very unhealthy practice to pajter the walls of rooms over the old paper, leaving one thickness a f t e r an-other to ferment with the decaying paper. The walls ahou: 1 alwaya be scraped before new papei s pasted on them.

To make a serviceable home-made yeast powder, take one quart of fresh buttermilk made u p with corn meal to a stiff batter, wi th a tea-cupful of yeas t Let it r ise; then add enough flour tu make it a stiff dough; let it rise a second t ime; put it on dishes or boards to dry in tbe shade; rub i t up, and keep it in a bag. To one quar t of flour put one tablespoonful of yeast powder.

Whether a fish is spoiled or not is a point tba t requires considerable expe-rience to really decide, unless the fish is fairly rotten. The skin, gills and entrails will often sour, and the fish be condemned by an inexperienced person, while the tlesli is as sound and sweet as ever. We know that the contents of the stomach have much to do with the keeping sweet of an uncleaned fsh , as one kind of food produces different effects from another. A bluefish, for instance, with stomach filled with small fishes partly digested, will not keep in ice half so long as a snapper whose stomach is filled with crusta-ceans.

BY J U L I A K A V A N A O H .

There is an old, a very old nnd beau-t i fu l simile which we are all rnmiliar with. I do not supiMwu any one knows who first ventured upon il. or to which special poet or philosopher it belongs. In trutli il is so tr i te that neither dead nor living would care to claim i t I confess I like il ILS I like many old fashioned things. I t is sim-ply this: l i fe is a mountain up which the traveler must climb. The path is ragged and sharp, bu t the suinmit must be reached. In youth we go up hill, ardent joyous, and iinagining a wonderful world lieyond that steep peak In the blue sky. As we reach it, panting and rather worn out with the journey our ardour flags, and so does hope. We liegin to suspect that down hill may be like up hill, worse perhaps, and without the enchantment of de-sire to lure us on. When we stand on the topmost crag we plant our flag and cry hurrah! But are we so glad, so very glad, a f t e r allV I doubt it. There are many winds up there ; snow hides in the clefts; it is evening, too, grey evening, lone and chill; the dark-ness deepens around us as we go down, and at the foot of the mountain black night lies in wait for us. Some di-vine heavenly stars pierce that gloom, and we know tha t a pure mandng and a glorious day lie beyond it, bnl we also know that to reach these we must pass through the night, and 1 have found no hea r t however brave, whom the thought did not appal!

Very few people say so, however. 11 is amazing how limited is tlie number of men and women who fear death. A ^eek ago l was in a village by tin-seaside. Cholera suddenly appeared amongst us. and, monster-like, de-voured a few victims. Everyone packed up and fled, some in the grey morning, some in the n igh t but no one acknowledged fear ; kusiness, the weather, &c,&c., summoned them all away, and cholera bad nothing to do with their departure. Be it so. I con-fess I felt extremely uneasy, and though I took my three days to pack —I am a meihodical old maid, and cannot do with less—I, too, l e f t only I never denied my real motive for doing so; to tbut bravery, such as il is, I lay claim. But to return to my simile.

For the last few years 1 have been on the top of the mounta in; tha t is lo say, 1 know exactly the down-hill road which lies before me, and take no de-light in the pro8j)ect. Fa r pleasanter do I find i t to look liack u|ion the road which brought me up here. How calm, how sunny were the early hours of that long a s c t n t N o wonder that in all autobiography so large a space is given to childhood. Its few yeara generally fill pages, whereas lines are often made to comprise the events of later life. The writer who has linger-ed over the loss of a tame bird, and if you are at all tender hearted, maile you shed foolish tears thereby, tells you in a breath tha t he married a charming girl, lost her at the end of seven years, and took a second wife when he was out of mourning, I lie-lieve that is one of the reasons why 1 shun reading all such produclions un-less they relate to great public events, dramas of history, and so forth. They sadden me dreadful ly; I like novels a great deal better. "

My first were fairy tales, of course The very sjwt where I read them Ls delightful to rememlter. My parents were poor or thought themselves so. and accordingly carried their |K)verty to tbe Continent, its was the fashion of those remote times. They took up their abode in a quaint lillle French town, half town, half village, which lay hidden In a nook of the Norman coas t and there SJHMII years, always talking of a going home which came n o t My father was a great sports-man, anil game was abundant in our neigbborbood. My dear mother haled change, and I believe liked dating her letters from the Chateau de Gravilles; so, what with game, cheapness, and a little innocent vanity, wo made our-selves a now home ami were forgotten in the old one.

Oravilles was a dear old place. I t had one long sunny street with stone houses, all unlike each other, but all de-Ilclously uncomfortable. I thonght them mansions in those days, and the rickety old chateau we lived in, with its dingy rooms, ils cou r t its garden and orchard was a palace in my eyes. In one of ita upper rooms on a sunny May morning, with birds singing in the gar-den below, mid t he green boughs of a young poplar quivering close to the open window, 1 read my first fain- tale. Blessed be the day, the spot, and the hour. The story was "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood," poetry, love, and romance all in one. Well. I inainlain i t without fear, there is nothing like fairy tales. They are jus t enough like life to attract , fo r they deal with men and women, and they arc too unlike it not to charm forever. Here are no oppressed innocents sinking hopelessly under the weight of their sorrows; no t r iumphant wrongdoers for whom ret-ribution shall be put off till the next world. We can take up a fairy tale in most del 'ghtful security concerning its ending, and perhaps its great attrac-tion is tha t i t never disappoints or de-ceives us. The brutal giant is always conquered, the malicious fairy Is al-ways defeated, the innocent beauty is always delivered, and the brave knight or chivalrous young prince is ever blest In love or war.

How far it may lie wise to present such views of life to little men and women, I cannot say. I am an old maid, and know nothing aliout children, or rather about education; but I do not mind confessing that I fell desper-ately in lova with the prince who woke the sleeping beauty. I dare say I should have Identified myself with that persecuted young princess if 1 could a t all have fancied myself sleeping for so many summers and winters, but that was out of the question. I was a lively, wakeful child, and that long nap was too much for me. Besides,,' was fair-kaited and fickle, mid soon forgot the prince for another, the lover of Cinder-e l la These princes are all so much alike, all so young, so handsome, so chivalrous, and so fai thful , that it really is not easy, especially for a youKg, Inexperienced person, to know

one from the other, I confess their identity bewildered me, and I am afraid to mid that I was In love with them

My brother John liked the princess, but was not a lilt more faithful to them than I was to the princes. Each had her turn, however, till Cinderella came and ruled them all with her little glass slijiiier. Dear John ! l ie reminded nm of that t ime in his lasl let ter; tlie letter he wi ote to me the night before his ship was lost on the Irish const Oh! how strange and dreary it w.is to read, "Do you remember Cinderella?" and to know that the young hand that had traced these words was lying cold and nerveless fathoms deep in the pitiless sea.

My father never recovered from the blow, and from that day forth my dear, gentle mother liecame f re t fu l and irrita-ble. I waa seventeen then, and was left to myself and my grief. The grief I survived, but my own companion-ship lett some deep traces in my life.

I had entered Fairyland in childhood, and 1 am not a t all certain bu t this pleasant country is the right place for youths; but very sure am I that Dreamland, which had my next visit, is the last spot I would takemy daugh-ter to, if I had one, which, being an old maid, is not the case you see. But the worst of Dreamland is that no one takes you to it. You tro to it of your own acconl, and its lioundaries are so fine that they are crossed before you know anylhing alKiul it. Some peo-ple have never visited that country, they say, bu t that 1 deny. To think of the fu tu re is to go to Dreamland straight.

Well, few people can lead long lives, I sujipose, and not look back to the ]Mist and read there with some wonder how tbey imagined that their fu tu re which has since liecome another past. These two are so unlike, you sec; the imagination ami the fulf l l lment The sorrows are never those we dreaded; no more than the blessings are those we longed and prayed for. For my part I very well remember the t ime when twenty-five was to lie the vanish-ing isiint in my little perspective of a life, lieyoud these remote years 1 did not go. This goal waa to be my rest-ing place. Between that and the eigh-teen of my dreaming 1 placed events, adventures, sorrows and joys more than 1 could number. These seven years were a long gallery with niches im either side, and every nich had i ts story. There was the nich of love, of course, and the nich of vain glory, and the niche of sacrifice and that of sor-row; and in the last I saw myself sit-ting, a calm worn woman of twenty-live, looking at life with folded hands and pitying eyes, mid a heart set on the lietter world and the better part. After reaching this bourne 1 was to en-ter a sort of a spiritual monastery, 1 accordingly closed its gates upon my-self. and did not even seek to imagine what kind of a life I might lead behind them. I doubt if youth ever really conceives age. To me I know that wrinkles and silvery hair were dimly remote; I could not go lieyond twenty-five.

Now, of course, all this seems very absurd, and yet there was but one folly in i l : I was in two great a hurry. My conception of life was a pret ty true one; but I mistook the proportions in which all these things were to come to pass. Most of the niches I hail tilled up remained vacant, or nearly sn, but o' !ier niches, unsusjiecled by poor me, a peared as I went on my journey. 'I io niche of love was inexorably closed, and that of money cares most unex-pectedly opened. Some other mistakes I found tha t I had committed. For instance, twenty-five, instead of a rest-ing place, proved the threshold of a life. 1 was never more restless than at that time, which I bail fancied so serene and so calm. Indeed, finding that I had been all wrong, and that this was not the goal of life. I gently pushed it back to thir ty, and built an-other gallery more sober and with fewer niches in il than the first And were tbey tilledV—never. Troubles which I had not conceived came and took hold of me. My dreams, not very rosy ones, however, melted one by one liefore the chill breath of life. And thirty found me contented enough, and happy enough too; but oh! how unlike the woman of twenty-five the girl of eighteen bad imacined

What the woman Is now matters very little. 1 have ceased to look for-ward, and I take life as a sort of daily bread; but sometimes I cannot help sighing when 1 look back and think of my short-coniings. For you see 1 was young, und I worshiped heroism and goodness in those days, and lieing a vain and silly creature, as most girls are. I made a pretty little image of my-self mid set it up for domestic adora-tion. 1 was to be generous, oh! so gen-erous. I was to lie good, not in a fool-ish common-place sort of way, but af ter a noble fashion. Then 1 was to lie heroic. Not that 1 waa to do such wonderful things—I had a grain of sense left—but great suffering, or great trials were to come in my way, and I was to take and accept them grandly. To go amongst ihe healhen, be tied to a stake and die singing God's praises with the flames rising around me, would have been the very summit of my ambition if I could have looked so high; but to be candid, I could not—I was afraid of the lire. Some other things, however, I felt quite equal to. We all know how Poetus, fearing to die, was addressed by his wife, Arr ia ; how she stabbed herself, then handed him the knife, ami uttered the words, "Pffltus, it does not h u r t " Well, that I could have managed very well, I will venture to say that it was quite In my way, only we have no tyrants now-a-days who compel us to commit sui-cide. I had also my doubts about Pa-Ins. He was weak and imsillani-mous, and was It needful tha t I should kill myself in order to set h im mi ex-ample. I only mention this instance to give the standard of my heroism. I was equal to death, to u noble one of course, but not to pain.

Now. it any giggling schoolgirl reads this, I know what she thinks of me. 1 know she thinks she Is not and never could be so foolish. That m^y be, child; you live In a wis-er age than was mine, and as your ago is so you are—a cool-headed young lady who talks slang and scorns romance. Tha i may be, child, that may be; but I will tell you what you do and what I never did. You build your little castle in the air alioiil Mr. Johnson, l ie half squeezed your hand lasl night, and forthwith you are ar-rayed in white, and the orange-blossom nods on your brow, and you are siiend-ing your honey-moon by the lakes. My dear child, better dream of seeing Ar-ria or of Joan of Arc herself than this. You see when dreams belong wholly to Dreamland they lose half their mis-chievous power. Of course they are very- foolish, and a terrible loss of time. ..it they have this great salve—they

"ead to' nothing. The dream which weaves itself around reality, in which, with time, reality gets so blended that the dreamer cannot well tell which is which, is purely and simply pestilen-tial. That grain of sense to which I have alluded, and a sjiark of prudence with i t saved me from this. Of course I too had my temptations, and some-times they took the fascinating aspect of Mr. Johnson, and sometimes they did n o t But no sooner did my care-less foot tread on the serpent than I started back amazfd and frightened. I would have fallen in love with Pielus himself, though he was but a poor

thing, rather than indulge in so dan-gerous a pastime. It was all very well to play with fancy in her fair Eden, but I knew it would never du tu treat these Mowery plains as If they were this firm stony earth of ours. 1 knew a dream was a dream, so, though Mr. Johnsoii did squeeze my hand sometimes—and be did, whatever you may think—1 looked at him with a prudent eye, and mode no god of thai young gentleman: mid perhaps that was why my niche of love waa never lilled np, but remained cold and vacant Once indeed—but I shall say naught aliout that now, it having nothing tu do with Dreainlnnd.

I do not mean to add much concern-ing my sojourn in that country. My excursions to it grew fewer as years crept upon me, nnd have now censed entirely. Sometimes 1 try to go back to tha t jileasant region, but I cannot. Formerly it was all clear and open; it a word, a line in a book, n cloud in the sky would take me to it, s w i f t as the wing of any bird. Now all that Is altered. A thorny forest lies between Dreamland and me, nnd lieyond that I know there are heavy iron gates locked and barred—gates which are ever closed on faded faces and whi te locks. There is no help for i t ; the evil, if evil it lie, niust be Ixirnc patiently; but when the sense of my powerlessness presses upon me, when 1 feel tbat never again must I indulge in folly, but mn doomed to wisdom, I think of dear John, who went down with his Dream-land full upon him.

THE FARM.

T H E M I C H I O A N S Y S T K M O P A G R I C U L T V I t K .

The Michigan system of agriculture relies for its mainteiiaiice upon n ro-tation of crops, the growing of clover, the feeding of stock, and the applica-tion of barnyard manure. The use of artilleinl innnnres will never come in fashion to any great extent for the simple reason that plaster applied to clover is much cheaper and easier.

I t is an established fact that a sod well manuied and turned under is the best foundation for a crop of corn. Corn is more and more a favorite croji as it furnishes the best kind of food for forage.

The rotation which is coining into great popularity is com | lanted on a richly manured sod turned under; the second year spring crops such as oat", liarley, roots, peas, beans, or other crop that ripens early to allow of the land being plowed nnd seeded to wheat : third year wheat with clover and tftno-thy—wheat being the money croji; fourth year clover and timothy hay. pastured in the fall; fifth year, pastured, making ready for com again. Thus the slimmer fallow Is discounted and le f t o u t Such a rotation is sure to keep up the land. I t is now the best practice to feed off the clover and plow under the sod.

This system gives plenty of room for all kinds of crops and for keeping all kinds of slock. The farmer wants a few dairy cows, a few swine, a lirst-class flock of sheep, teams for farm work and domestic fowls. A few ani-mals should lie fed and fattened each year. It should lie a point to feed off all the coarse grains and coarse fod-der—such as wheat and oat straw, comstalks and hay. oats and corn, and and all the wheai bran that can be profitably fed. With such n system of rotat ion; with such a sod plowed un-der every fifth year ; with all the barnyard manure and ashes that can lie applied to the farm that can bo made from such a lot of coarse grain and|fodder,it is impossible for the farm to run down. It must increase in value.—Michigan Homestead.

for the display of his peculiar qualifi-cations than a wool loft can ever afford. As markets usually run, the grower gets more money per head of sheep for heavy wool than for the same fleeces in the lightest possible condition; and so long as such a premium on heavy fleeces is held out to their pockets, all appeals to the ears of men will be but ius the noise of "souiiillng brass or a tinkling cymbal," Wool will , a s a rule, lie made :us ll^'il its jiosslble. and its subsequent manipuhition attended to with the most rigid oversight, when-ever the markets show a premium upon sucliTibservaiices; but until that time very little change from the present practices need lie looked for.

EDUCATION FOR FARMERS.

Education is what is needed by all classes, but now we are talking of education for the fanners ami for the sons and daughters of farmers. Last week we pointed out the object • f the Agricultural College as we lie-lieve it to lie, and tba t object is ex-pressed by this word EDUCATION. Is •here such a thing as

S. IL Carpenter. LL. D. of the Uni-versity of Wisconsin, furnishes tlie following answer to the question; What brain culture will best lit the

farmer for bis calling?" 1. Every farmer is a man, and needs

to know: 1. What man i s - Mental Philosophy.) 2. W h a t men have done—History. 3. What men are doing—Language

and Li terature . II . Every farmer is a citizen and

needs to know: 1. The duties of citizens (a| Towards eacli other—Moral Phi-

losophy. (ii) Towards government—Const it u-

lion, etc. 2. How to express his views—Bhet-

oric, .1. How to defend his v iews-Logic . I I I . The business of the farmer is ( ) To improve natural resources

by -1. Properly subdividing fann—Sur-

veying. 2. Drainage—Civil engineering. :i. Building—Civil engineering. 4. Propel 'y using and caring for ma-

chinery—Mechanics. including geome-try and trigonometry.

5. Properly breeding stock—Practical Agriculture.

( ) To develop to maturity two classes of germs:

1. Vegetable—Botany. 2. Animal—Zoology. His means are— 1. Soil—Chemistry and geology. 2. Almospheie and chemical force

Physics and Aslronomy. 8. Vital forces: (ol Vegetab'e—Botany. (<>» Animal—Animal Physiology. Every farmer is a business man, and

needs to know— 1. Commercial laws—Political econ-

omy. 2. Commercial operations—Mathe-

matics and book-keeping. Now these are all taught at the Ag-

ricultural College and for this reason it is a general educational institution touching the great muss of the peojile and the great Interest of the jieople, and therefore should be sustained.

Preparing Wool for Market.

F r o m t b e Na t iona l L i r e Utoek J o n r n s l .

There is small room for doubting tbat it is to the ultimate interest of sheep-breedere to so cultivate their flocks as to induce tbe growth of the greatest possible weight of cleansed wool for their expenditure of lalior and food. With each recurring season comes the usual avalanche of advice f rom middlemen and manufacturers, topped off witli an emblazonment of tlie great advantage to the grower in placing his wools upon the market iu tbe lightest jiossible condition. Cer-tainly, no teaching of the Journal has been a t variance with this projKisition. There is, however, one view of the situation which the complaining par-ties seem to have overlooked, i. &, thai the would-be teachers are, by their ac-tions. continually discouraging any general adoption of their precepts.

Wool-growers will average with the liest half of humanUy; but as tbe major i ty of ine't will be found acting in the line of their present advantage, those who repeat to the wool-grower the oft-re-iterated maxims favoring clean wash-ing. early shearing, neat rolling and a minimum of siring, to-dayjind to-mor-row offer them no more, or very little more than the price paid for wool not so systematicaJly manipulated, must a t t r ibute the failure of their teaching to that excusable sel-fishness of man which prompts him to realize for his capital and lalior tbe maximum results con-sistent with law and equity. The in-centive to wool-growing is money-making; nnd so long as the flock-holil-er can get more money for the fleece of a sheep when unwashed, or half-washed, or one t h a t after having lieen properly washed was allowed to re-main on the sheep until the normal amount of grease had been restored, jus t so long will fleeces be found as heavy as legitimate means can make them. The manfaclurer or dealer who expects an opposite result, niiisl base such expectations upon elements of character seldom found outside tbe list of those who are prompted solely by philanthropy.

The growing nnd selling of heavy fleeces—fleeces carrying alarge amount of grease and gum—is altogether legiti mate, so long as the seller practices no deception by concealing the t rue condi-tion of his |>roduct. The man who would buy an invoice of wool without examining its condition and quality, or having such examination made by some competent party, would find in hod-carrying a more appropriate fluid

IIY J O H N n . M A U T I N .

Afte r perusing Prof. Cook's valu-able essay upon bee pasturage, as read before the National Convention, I nm incited to give my experience.

At th^vlose of the season when the b "c-keeper has time to sit down nnd count up bis pounds of honey, lie finds that his surplus has lieen gathered in the space of a few days of spasmodic yield. As he Jots down his last figures he heaves an audible sigh. Oh! for a continuous honey yield, and thinks that if lie had such and such plants growing by the acre what piles of honey lie would have. If ho has Ihe land UIHIII which to sow honey pro-ducing plants the question is: will it pay to sow exclusively for 1 ees?

Nearly all plants can be kept in blossom through the entire season by sowing at different periods. And a few plants continue to blossom naturally through the entire season, but do they secrete honey at all t imes? Our ox-p •rience irf somewhat limited in this matter, but we think nearly all plants have their season of growth, flowering, secreting honey and maturing the seed, i t is the nature of buckwheat to ma-lure its seed during the cool nights of August and September, and if sown at an earlier date than aliout the first of July, il fails to produce a caop, or to se-crete honey. We usually have a fine yield of baaswood honey of beautiful quality, but a few years since we saw a near neighbor sowing several acres of buckwheat about the first of June , tu be plowed under for green manure. We knew, as a natural consequence, that the buckwheat would blossom at the same time of our basswood yield, and wo got somewhat excited about it. thinking our beautiful honey would all bo spoiled. We were going to hire our neighbor to plow his buckwheat under before it blossomed but he would not, and soon the field was white as snow. Wo visited it anxiously several mornings and were happy to find not a bee a t work upon i l ;not an ounce of lioney was gather-ed from it. and our basswood honey was as beautiful as ever. Since then we have had little faith in sowing contin-uous crops for honey. If you have buckwheat in continuous bloom from early spring until fall you will gel honey only in the fall months; it is probably so with many other flowers. Our clover removed one month earlier or later would be a failure; even in the height of its season how much de-Ilends upon the elements for its suc-cessful yield

i t may bo different with a flower that blossoms continuously, for in-stance the blue thistleUr/iiMm vtilgare) blossoms from June until frost and bees work upon il a t all times, but its main yield is in Ju ly . The subject of pasturage will receive more attention al no distmit day, mid those plants most useful to the bee-keeper will find their place npon every honey f ann . We hope to have an acre of mignonette next season and will report its suc-cess or failure.—Jmerfcon Bee Jour-nal.

The following are the material sec-tions in the nmended law for the col-lection of agricultural statistics:

Sec. I. That il shall he the duty of the supervisor of each township and ward, and assessor of each assessment district, at the lime of taking a list of the tiKablo properly, or between the first Monday of April and the third Monday of May in each year, to ascer-tain and set down in a table prepared for that purpose, tlie number of acres of improved land and the numlier of acres of improved land in each f a rm: the number of acres sown with wheat then on the ground; the number of acres and the number of bushels each of corn, w h e a t oats, clover seed, barley peas and jiotutoes raised and the niun-lier of acres, and the number of tons of bay cut the preceding year, the number of pounds of wool, and the number of sheep sheared tlie preceding year ; the number each of horses, cat-tle [other than milch cows,] sheep and hogs six months old and over, the number of milch cows, the number of acre« of apple trees, and the number of acres of peach trees, and the number of bushels each of apples and peaches sold thu preceding year: numlier of bushels uf small frui ts sold, and lbs. of grapes sold the preceding year ; and ii shall be the duly of each Supervisor and Assessor to forward the said tabu-ular statement to the Secretary of State on or before the lirst day of j une next thereafter, officially certified to us being correct and true according to his best knowledge and belief.

Sec. 2. The Secretary of State shall cause nn abstract, of said information to 1* presented to the Governor on the first day of A u g u s t or as soon thereaf-ter as practicable, showing for each town the numlier of acres of improved land, and the number of acres of un-improved land in fa rms; the numlier of each class of live stock and tlie numlier of acres of each crop to each one hundred acres of improved land.

Three new sections have lieen add-ed. direclbtg tlie Secretary of State to forward the requisite blanks; fixing penalties for the neglect of Supervis-ors to comply with the law. and direct-ing Prosecuting Attorneys to com-mence suit in case of such neglect.

In reply to questions of a Detroit correspondent the veterinary editor of Ihe ll'orW says: To shoe young or aged horses correctly the shoe must be fitted exactly lo the feel, not the feet to the shoes by burning the horn until it will sit tu an awkardly crooked piece of iron which some botching shoeing-smitlis term a horse shoe. The shoes shoud be so adjusted to the feel that the weight of the animal may lie equally projiortioned ou the feet when shod, as it is when the feet are in their natural condition, before shoeing is contemplated. Whore the animal does not possess sufficient knee-action, the forward shoes should lie made heavier than ordinary shoes, and the heaviest portion of the shoe should be located in the toe of i t This can be accom-plished by making the toe-bar of the shoes wide and thick or, if shod with commonly made forward shoes, sepa-rate toe-weights may be adjusted when the animal is driven. You will please note that it is impossible to success-fully and practically lay down a uni-versal rule for shoelng'a horse, as no two horses' feet and bearing are alike. Have the shoes property and not too tightly nailed on the feet, and have tbe weight of the animal equally pro-portioned on the shoes. Then the an-imal can travel with ease and perform

his labor wllhout pain unless constllu-lionul weakness exists. When this i1* the case no t reatment will avail.

Krnrn t b e Hnme J n n r n s l . The swallow, swif t and nighthawk

are the guardians of tlie atmosphere. They check the increase of insects that olherwise would overload it. Wood-peckers, creejieis and chickadees are the guardians of the trunks of trees. Warblers and fly-catchers protect the foliage. Blackbirds, crows, thrushes and larks protect the surface of the soil. Snipe and woodcock protect the si il under the surface. Each tribe has its respective duties to perform in the economy of nature : and II is an un-doiibted fact that. If the birds were all swept off the face of the earth, man could not live upon i t : vegetation would wither and die; insects would become so nunieroiis that no living thing conld withstand their attacks. The wholesale destruction occasioned by grasshoppers, which have lately de-viistated|the West,is undoubtely caused by the thinning of the b'rds, such as grouse, prairie hens etc,, which feed UINIII them. The greati inestimable service done to the farmer, gardener, and florist by the birds is only becom-ing known by sad experience. Spare the birds ami save your f ru i t ; the little com and f ru i t taken by them is more than c.impensated for by the quanti-ties of noxious insects they destroy. The long jiersecuted crow, has Ix-en found, by actual experience, to do more good by the vast quantities of grubs and insects he devours, than the harm he does by the few hills of corn he pulls up. He Is one of the farmer 's best friends.

A DiNcr in i lna t l i i g P e t i t i o n .

F r o m the Boston T r a n s c r i p t . The story that Causeur told lasl

week about the country parson who prayed for rain to such purpose that on the following Sunday he had to pray lo have it stopped, reminds a clerical friend of one he once heard from Hon. E. B. Wasbbnme. late minister to France, who vouched for its truth. Il was in Scarborough. Me, a place famed for fish, bnl not for the richness of its soil, although aliout one-half ils popu-lation manage to keeji body and soul together by farming. There had been a long drought, and one Sunday, when a clergyman had come by way of "ex-change" was lo preach, one of the dea-cons. having referred to the "dry spoil." suggested that a |ietition for rain was desirable. "The soil's ra ther th in . isn't it. Brother B ?" said the minister, "Bather," answered the deacon; "but we need rain." The good man took his place in the pu lp i t opened the morn-ing service, and, when the projier time came, said. "0 . Lord, thy servant is in-structed lo pray that thou wilt send rain to Ibis land; but thou knowest. O Lord, that what il wants is dressin'"

Joe. Jefl'crsoii'H Fence.

The renowned comedian and im|ier-sonalor of Hip Van Winkle, has lieen trying his hand at fence building on his orange plantatlun' in Louisiana. A local paper says: Mr. Jefferson has been actively engaged iin applying to practice u cherished theory—that every country possesses suflicient material j for its own fences. l ie set lo work to prove it by erecting for each side of his 1

fence sods three feet in width divided into live layers, at an angle of dog. The soil from beneath the stxl exactly fills the space between the erected sods, leaving a three fool ditch on each side. On the top of this sod-and-soii fence, which is four-and-a-half feet al the base and three feet high, he plants cuttings of the Macartney rose, which are protected by a panel of boards. This fence, while within the reach of any man who will shoulder his sjiade and work, jmssesses the advantages of an impassable barrier, of pcmianenee. of not needing repairs, or drainage, and of being a most lieautiful orna-ment. Mr. Jefferson will soon have inclosed a section of his plantation con-taining 2 iHH) r -res, and at one-half the cost of a slake fence. Without being over sanguine us to its rapid adoption, we feel safe in saying that il is the most economical and useful fence in the Soiilheni States, and destined to come into general use.

Republican majority in its plm-c in Hie abort period of five mom lis, is great enough lo make even n Demorrat think. The causes for il are plain enough. In the first place there arc the cipher re-velations nnd tlie confessions of the co-parceners: m the second, tlicre is tbe extra session and the Solid S mth. with the demand for^i Blufled ballot-box on pennlty of revolution. The Republicnn party is itself again.

A n n ' s PILLS have been known for more tlinn n tiuarter of a ceatury, and bavo obtained a world-wide reputation Tor their virtues. They correct dis-eased action In the several assimila-tive organs of the body, and aro so composed that obstnictlotis within their range can rarely withstand or evade them. Not only do they euro the cvery-day complaints of every-liody, but also fonnldablo and danger-ous dlHcoses that liave baffled the bMl of human skill. While they produc« powerful effects, they are, a t the sama time, the safest and best physic fb r children. By their sperlent action they gripe mneh less than tho common purgatives, and never give pain when the bowels are not InOamed. They reach the Tltnl fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing It f rom the elements of weakness.

Adapted to all agos and conditions In nil climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drag, these PIIIH may Ire taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-serves them ever fresh and makea them pleasant to take; while belag purely regetable, no harm can arise from their use In any quantity.
