Those who have labored earnestlyand given tbeir best eflbrts to sustain and help make the club what it should be, to make it meet the expectations of those who have froin time to time contributed material aid, and honor-od it by their attendance, are prepared to appreciate somewhat the value and importance of such a leader.

There are, jjtrhaps, few if any members of the society who do not possess tbe requisite executive abilityto preside over its deliberations, and yet there are fewer who would feel the keen sense of the responsibility, of the position, and work so incessantly and nn-tirlngly for its interest and advancement, as Mr, Wood has done during his entire administration i and that, too, when the only hope of recompense was the satisfaction of having tried to his duty.

LBBOT, March 5.—At tbe preaenl writing we are able to report all quiet along tbe "Cedar." Nothing terrible has occurred since tbe decision of tbe electoral commission. Since my last, king alcohol has made a raid in tbe village of Lerny. The snloon-ists in that place succeeded in finding several victims, and we are informed that extreme measures bad to be adopted in order to secure tbe peace and quiet of tbe place. There is much outspoken indigoatiou towards one Market, the keeper of tbe aaloon. Nothing better ia expected of bim, although he wears a red ribbon. Toward the last of tbe aleigh-ing, as he was returning home from William-aton, in company with bis lady, by some means he lost his hnlsuce and fell from his cutter. Singularly enough he could not get in again. Help was called, and one Chas. Morris aasiated him. Mr. Morris informed us that Mrs. M. indulged in some very forcible language, as well at extravaoent wishes; if they liad been complied with, this world would have got rid of him bodily. Sbe ia excuaable; tbe end would bavejuatl-fled tbe means.

Last week we invaded tbe reading room of the Williamston reform club (beg pardon of the Williamston correspondent for iotrud-ing). Tbe benefits arising from that inatitil-tion cannot be over-estimated. We saw a number of young men engaged in reading, upon some of which the marks of dissipation were yet plainly visible. Tbe tablea were piled with the cboiceat of reading, and> the contraat betweeU that room now, and'a abort time ago, whsii it waa a aaloon, is noteworthy. .A signing of our name to the already long list, a 'heariy"8haking of bands, and ail is oyer.; nnd the red ribbon flaunts from the button-hole of your special..

ITo the KdUor.^ In your last issue, a "clubgranger," under

the above title, says: '•Itlsiratlfying to note tiiat since the di

vision of time by the olub with tho grange, the Btteudauco upon tlie meetings of of each have quite materially Increased! and It Is pleaaant to refleot that In all the history or the past, the moat perfect harmony and good wttl tiavo prevailed botwcon the two Booletles,"

This has been given to the public at large, expecting tb»m to understand it is so at the

FUBSBHT TIMB,

while we wish them not to be misinformed. Five years ago last January the club was

organized, since wblcli time it has gradually grown; tnn interest baa increased and it has become well known throughout tbe atate. The meetings have been held Saturdays nt 2 o'clock r. M., since its first organization.

Two years ago last June the grange of this place was organized and several members of the club became grangers. During the same season they both used tlie room now occupied, with the' privilege of uaiug it without rent until it was repaired. It was so used until November, 18TS, when a committee from each society was appoinied and it was settled that tbe rent, 880 a year, should be

PAID UY SOTII,

tbe grange paying S&O and tbe club 930, Everylbliig aeomed sntisfaotory, nnd we supposed l)Olh were aati.sfled witii our iinins >t. Saturday afternoona, and holding exIiiljUlona when tbouHht deairable. Poultry sliowa had been held for two years, lasting two days each time, and one fruit exliibition. Iiolding a day, with other sliowa of vegetables and seeds at regular meetings.

Owing to the presidential campaign, tlie club did not meet regularly during tiia past fall, and at tbe time that tbe year was out the subject of-re-renting tlin room bad not been brought liefore thorn for tbe coming year. A', tbe annual meoting on tbe first Saturday in January the olliuers weio elected. Tbe secretary and treasurer were

iioTH auAKaEns, and were elected unauimoualy, and two of tbe three conatituling the essay committee, appointed by the proaldenl, were alao grang-era. We apeak of this to ahow thai there was the beat'of feeling by tlie club toward tbe grange, and there never liad been an intimation but that tlie grange was satisfied with tbe club, and their using tlio room Saturday afternoons.

At about tbe first meeting of the gracge, after tbe annual meeting of tbe club, tbey hired tbe room without consulting tlie club. They did, however, conault tba good templars, and promised them they might use the room by paying one-half the rent, and If the club wouid rent it on tbeir terms, they might have it for

OHB-TIIIRD OP TUB IIBNT.

If tho club uaed it tbey were to pay one-third of the rent, put up no prospectuses, and hold no poultry shows in tbe room. Previous to Ibis, prospectuses that had been put up by members of tlie club bad been torn down and destroyed, or at least have not been aeen in the room, They appointed their meeting for Saturday, at 2 o'clock v, H., without notifying the club till after they bad adjourned to meet in the same room anil at the tame time. We were, however, notified that'tbe grange wanted to meet Saturday aflernoona, and tliat tbey bad birei) the room, and tiiat we could liave it every alternate Saturday with the rpatrlotions before mentioned. There was one peraon, a'member of each society, thai, took e.Kcepiimis to their proposition, but still wished both to remain in the room, if tliere could bo. an arrangement made satisfactory

TO HIS VIEWS,

by hiring tlie room on the beat terni!!. and having equal rights in tlie use of .it—either using it when it would not interfere with any previous arrangement made by the oilier, or with the''regular meetings of oltlior the grange, good templars or club. Tlie'rootn was hired by a vote of tbe grange members, only one other voting for it, wliile aoma members of the club, thinking tlio grance had a majority in tho room, said notliing, and others left tho room iu diagnst.

This is the way tho room was hired by tlio club; and at tbe present time no regular meeting has been held under the new arrangements, except tbe poultry ahow.

The " club granger" also says : "It Is dear tliat tlio Interostfl of the two

ited by one ,of the most' searching enow storms tbat we have had this seuen, commencing Wednesday eviening and lasting until Friday, piling up the snow In drifts worse than it has at any time this winter; not very appropriate or auitatile weather for young lambs. However, we must take the bitter with the aweet,' and shall content ourselves by trying to shovel out. " Nasby," the post clfice man, who, by the way, is "highmuckey muck and king bee" at tbe " Hub," may be aeen trying to shovel out his trio of game chickens, aud dissecting his wood-pile from tbe enow, while " Siguor" Wood may be heard singing from " Qrceniand's Icy Mountain," as he proceeds to open a northeast passage to bis cow-barn; and "Cncle Tommy," with tbe smoke from his pipe curling above bis head, may ba seen plowing bis way down'the railroad to "Nasby's" bead quarters, where we congregate for general news, aud to talk about our neighbors. '

The only happy ones here at present, are Messrs. U. and B., our mill men; the prospect of another lot of logs to help swell tbe already well-filled yard, is enough to make any one smile with satisfaction wiio may be in tbe saw-mill business. However, the snow' may leave us as suddenly as it came; hut llie proapect is not very favorable at present,

And at theHunie tiino they had taken joi' •, lease- of their rooms to \w sure of keeping Hide by Hide; and whenever till' iiKiil tailed the little painter^ or ms jri'jiius woiildii'l woiK, he gtitover it all by throwing'' his liinidiies Into a eoi'iier ami k'aviii!<; them to do as they liked till he came baek, fre«li'its u lark, from a visit next diior,

"I'll be back ill seven or nine iiiln-ntes," he called over his ahotilder one driKziy Saturday, us the fuinillar rattle at h is dooi'-ktiobovertouk him Just half way down the stuii's.

Tlie professor never would say he wuK gulii} ' round II corner, liecause u eiirner was properly the uiiglu of u stpiaro; but mun<l the corner be went iiii>i into the little threud-iind-necdle store close by. -

" I should say—pur|de," ho decided at hiKt exultingly; and Just HH bis seventh inliinte was fairly u'p, be reappeared at the top of the stairs and openetl the door.

'•Of course," ftald the profewior. "Let a represent the distance I have to go, and x denote tho number of miles to the hour, and you can bring the resiill U' u' simple fraction without the least dllflculty. Fink."

"I'lnxit" waa ulwuya the profoMKir'a luiiiie for bhii, but It slipped down into '*Pink" now aiui then, when the prrt* fe^sor luipiNined to be in extraordinary spirits, ana he was partieulurly pleoaed with hitiiself just now for his triumph about the color of the glove. '• "The day is so monntrous pmy, a man can't do anything with it," sidd I'iii U, settling down into his ensy-chair again.

"Griiy! State the proposition fairly. P i n k ! It's a holiday, that's what's the miitter with It. There never was

The prorewor'a face fell. ,."It iati'.t the coliir?" he echoed un

Why, they'dexplodo if you put them together! Let them'aloHe,

"Can't do it. Iflnxlt," said the professor, regretfully. "I shall want these gldvea'tb wear'in'jUHt seventeen hours fpniiauow."

"Welli give ,t>io the silk, and I'll paint it for you, then!" cried Pink in des|)eration. "•wuiiaiiii'iiutu,and I'll fetelV the color."

The professor sat.with the threaded needle iii IIIM hand ' and a sense of (lownfull in his heart, meekly waiting r<ir'Phik tu coiiie back ; but lie walteil and wuited,und no Pliik appeared. A sitter had eotiie in, the professor was sure, from thcsouiids of voices tli rough the wall, and he was equally sure, liy the way things seemed to be Unockiii-^ about in there, IVad come in a time that didn't suit tlieurtlsl's mood at all.

The professor.hesitated. "What Is t l ieuseof inultlplyitig troubles?", he iisked liiriiself; ill acoiilldeutial whis-'per;'"the colors,arc both really very dark," and witb a furtive glance toward Pinxlt's room, he.''llxed the e.\-treiidty." of his. thread and went to work.

T h e next morning, tlie professor put on the gloves and went soi'lly out to chureli before the lii tie porlrait'-painter i ird.shown himself. He t'elt a slight twinge, to be sure, us the gleam fiotn his row of Btitelic.iromiuded him dimly of a line of heathery graves be had onee seen lying along a brown Bu'otcli liKKir; but he had forgotten all about thcni before he reached the comer, and went on ascotufo<iably as on the Sunday when the gloves worenew. Only that, if the truth were told, .Sunday was rather a hard day, at tho best, with the professor. • It is very well to go . along • through tlie si.« dnys of the'week, playing at what one culls life, and pretends to like bi-st; but when all this is quietly liickid away for a rest on the suveiitli, if tbcro is a vacuum or aobiiig void, a sickiicsjs at heart from hoiie deferred, or, worne than all, a' hope lying sbrotiilcd and dead within, tliat Is the time it KCCUIS to take to rise and hold hiifli curnival. Ofcour-ie, it is a day,, for consolations, too; but somehow, at every roll of the organ, or every cadfuce of voices that oil'eied them, or whispered of liiippl-ness tiiiseeii, the proles.ôr c.oulrin't help feeling a drciuliul gasping iil'ter a certain liappiness that was UIISLU'II, true euou.gli, but that he dcvoiuly Wished to lay his eyes upon.

He Weill bacli to bis roiiiii and fa( down wilboul even taking oil' the gloves, and iioMitig a shut band before liiin, ga/.ed ll.'tedly at it, as If il niiglit unfold again, ami drop out the answer to the very t|ucslioii that was distracting biui. Would simie one ever come? Should lie never see her agniii ? Would she ever be his indeed?

Tlie scales went on luilaiicing, the "ever going til) with a lenj) of Joy that fairly kickeii the beam, and tiie "never'' bringing its side lieavily down iigaiii with a dismal Ibuiiip, wlieu he heard I'iiik's voice over his shoulder, saying; '

"1 tell you. It never will be a match so lung as the world stands! It never was ordained in heaven, you m a y b e sure of that!" • Wliat. hajqiened next, Pink never exactly understood, but he found himself very suddenly in tho .opjiosite corner of the room, while the professor stood over liiin with very licice eyes, and then turned in a Hash, and threw himself into a chair, doulilliig his arms on the table and.burying bis face in them without a word..

r i n k gazed, bewildered, but it did no good; he could only see the top of the professor's head, and tliere was no ex-jilanation tliere. ]Suiaiiex|daiintlon iiiust be Inul, and creeping noiselessly forward on tip-toe, he gave tlie professor u denting little touch on tlie shoulder, and tlien sprang quickly buck to a sale distance. Uut sllil the professor did not atir. Hud the ground fulled from under Pink's feet? Was all their hn|>py past a mistaken dream, or was all the future going to be one? H e crept up once more, and tried another touch, but atill nouhange. Should he say "three limes and out?" He was Just making up his mind to it In despair, wheiiitlie professor sprang to hia fet't and ateppeii suddenly toward him.

"Plnxit, can you forgive nie? Pos-sibly your thought and mine would not designate the aame baae; perhB])s you only tncant the glove after all)"

"Of course I did! What else could I mean?" aald Piuk; and then it all bad to come out; the professor hud to tell Pink the wiiole story.

"But, hiy gracious!" exclalmcdPInk again, when ho had ll.stened breathlessly to the end, "Man alive, \^hy don't you 11 lid her? There can't be anv diniculty about it!''

The professor gave liisanectacles an excited push closer to his eyea and gazed wistfully at the little painter in Ilia turn.

•'I'm afraid you don't consider the dlfl'erence betwaen the known and unknown lines of your ilgure, Plnxit ," he said at last. '.

"Bother the Ilgure," said Pink. "I consider this, at any r.itc: If you met an.ungel when you were studying in Paris, and l( you tell in love with her, as'of course you must, and if she returned it iMlt Isn't strange she should, and If her tierce relations wouldn't hear a word of it; and have intercepted allcnmniunicatlon ever since; and If yoi ihi ive reason to think she la here III this very elty to-day, and has been keeping her heart as warm aa the blush of a mse for you all this time, I'd find iter, If-I were you,—that's all I have to aay about It!"' > Tlieprofemmratarted up and began walkingthef lonr withstrldea like a pair of Mimnaaaea.

ping auddenly before htm, " I ' m afraid youlve proved all your, polnta, except, the point of contact."

"Well, that'a tho very point to set altout .provlitg, then, and the aooner the better. Haven't you any clue? There niiiatbo aoniething; wliat'a the colorof her hair?"

The prbfeaaor hesltuteii. \ "I don't'kiiow," he said at laatwlth' a ruelul look.

'."Dontt know the color of her hair!" cried Pink, springing nut of his chair with excitement again; "Well , her eyca, then!"

The professor shook his head slowly. "Not even the color of tier eyes?

Good heavens! Xor even her complexion? Xot even if ahe la blonde or olive!" , ,

"No—1 think—iicv—I'm nut really aure, biit what great dlfl'erenee docs it really make?" but I'lnk was tar more liealite himself by tliia time then he had been about tfie glove. ' "Well, her blood, then! You surely must know sninethiiigaliout that; you must know what her. blood la!*' " B l u e ! " exclaimed tho professor with Huddcii uossltlveness, and venturing to lotik Pink In the face onee. " The bluest of the blue!"

" A h " said Pink, drawing a breath. " Well , that's something, at leiut, to no U|>on; that'a a straw to catch at, but we want aoinetliing more. There must be aoniethingtliatahegaveyou once,— of course there la,—aomo trifle that you've treasured; we might do something with It." ' T h e profeasor hesitated. 'I'lila was

coming pretty d o s e ; but atlll, there was a ring in Pink's voice that aeenied like a pilot hulling lilm In a atorm. H e opened a secret drawer in his desk, took nut a box, and reverently, as If he were lincoverlng the face of the dead, raised the lid and placed i l where Piiixlt could see. A little iiandfui of sweet peas lay inside, withered and shriveled, their colors faded. Into nameless tints, and their atema tied with a narrow ribbon of odd colnrimr and design'.

Pink looked very hard Into the box again foi a few moments, and then started oir acres? the room in great excitement.

" I have It!" he exclaimed; "I have it, as clear as crystal t She gave them to you, of course; let mo copy tlicni, exactly as they were,—I wont miss a sbndc; and the ribbon, too,— tliat's a clue that would lead through any labyrintli. And then they've lieen begging nie for a bit for the window at Dupil's, but I thought I couldn't slop to do it. I'll Just put this quietly there, and we'll see what we shall see."

• But the profe.-isor couldn't see anything yet, and Pink went on :

"Don't you know, man alive, that the holidays arc coming, and that everybody wlio.se blood Is bluo Is sure to walk down the right side of the street, at tlie right time of day, and to stop and lenk In at Dupil's window us they pass? And if I were to happen to lie inside, and were to see a cheek iilic a rose, or an eye like a forget-me-not, Hudilenly recoitni/.ing my sweet peas from uuld-lang-syne, soul to soul, you know, whv then I should know preei.^.ely what to do next—that l« al l !"

Il was a pretty sharp pull to let the box go oil' Into Pink's room ; but it went, and tlie soul of a new erealion began to take form and color on his <a-iel, early the next day.

" I sniipose," Pink had said rather quietly, as he went out of the door with the box,—"I suppose there Is a biire posslbiiiiy that you do remember her imnie?"

" Vr.l.cntc," answered the professor, with his lips drawn pretty light.

Tliat WHS certainly the last thing.— there could not be any mbre<|Ucstions to ask.

Piuk was no novice, no dabbler with his paints. He was a Fellow of tho Academy, and coiilinually besieged to contribute sonielhing with his special shine uiH>ii it to this or tliat display; altluiugli just at present, ignominious as it seemed, lie was giving tin what he could ami would do, for wiiat he must. But it was worth while to see him wlien be got fairly warmed up at a ]iiece of work that really did go to his heart, and partleulurly atthis , that seemed to have taken posse.'tsion.of it with a-swoop. Sucli sudden iiacing backward fur a more distant look, and such sudden darting up again for a new touch; such tunibling'of things togetlier until they all pointed the wrong way at once ; and such mjste-rious out-blooming from the canvas as the work went on.

He made no pretense to beluga poet, of course, though he was forever liuin-niinir siiutches of songs at bis work ; Imt Ibis time he felt greatly tempted to try. for nothing that lie knew S(;enicd to come quite up to the occasion. He wcntoveroverylbi i ig in the least a|>pro|iriate, until at last, oneday, wlieii a special sense of things came over him, he even caught liiuiself trilling in his most tremendous bass—

"bail}'biiKl I.Mly biitf! Fly to your lioniol" " Y o u wretch, Pink!" he exclaimed

the next moment: but soiiieliow after that he never could s>>eiii to rest until he hud rigged these verses of bis own:

"Wiuulerliig far or wandcrlnc; near, Strayutb a maiden whom we linlil dear! Mistily uiaiiteled in hope and fi'ar,

Aiidnovora foot-priut leaving!"

O, wandering, vanishing, innidon fair, Klout mo a tress of your uoldon lialr! I'm weaving u net ol' blossoms rare,

Oil, "

Pink never could get that last line fixed to suit him, so he left It, like some of Ills pictures, till he could ; and meanwhile he found he could roll out unutterable things nn that "O/i.'*'although once in a while the recollection that, for aught the profesaor knew,her hair might be black aa Erebus after all, broke him down into a merry shout in the midst of It. But he knew. If the profeasor didn't, that the hair waa golden; he hugged tight to that conviction, and worked away at aong and picture together.

Did ever a handful of withered flowers know such a resurrection be-forcf They lay in their box like a fnr-aaken chryaalls, wliile their new life fluttered out under Pink's brush with a hundred transparent.gleanii ng wl ngs, and it wu£ hard to believe that the same old perfume waa not under them aa fresh as ever atill. The profesaor put his noso down witli nn involuntary little snlfT, when Pink called him to look at them, and then started back feeling very foidish, and hoping he had not been seen.

And now came the tug of war. Plnxit was a privileged cliaracter at Dupil's, aii<) if he chose to place his picture in the window, and then take bis .•^tation Inside and hover about near enough to keep an eye on it, no one madeany remarks, and lie went quietly on Ills own way. But iniusterly Inactivity was the hardest po.ssible tight-ing for blm; and as for the profei.«or, he went mousing about, peeping Into Pinxit 'sroom,or trying in vain to-set-lle down toaonie problem in the books, while theonly problem that aeenied of Importanceany lunger, waadepending entirely on what tho little portrait painter ahould manage todu with it.

Fortunately faahlonabic huura were abort, and Plnxit waa never away very lung at a tiiua; but when he did

1 got aettlcil into the eaay chair again, ue did hot aeem to have miieh to aay, and the profeassor watched hint in a greater fever of rx-oltemcnt every night.

"I 'm afraid, Plnxit ," ho anid suddenly, atopping in a ninnstroua act of compass atridea, "I'm afraid you've gut some imaginary roots in your equation, and If you nave we shall certainly come to grief!"

But Pink aeemed to have no more, to reply tu tlila than to anything else, and It was viearly of no use.

Meantliuo theliolidayajuuged gayly along, like the ildie-bowa of niusluiaiia in a merry interlude while tho curtain waits to rise. Clirlstmaa chimes were forgotten, and every one waa wailing for the Kew Year'a bella to ring. •.

"Don'tget Intnauch a red-hot fldget about It, though," said the little artist to blniaelf;butlt waahard tohclpit,far whatever migli i bo ready to tangle in Ills net after the weeks were once past, lie certainly could not alt and watcii for it any longer; It would have to go, And on theotlier hand, if h e could, but aeo the professor's New Year'a morning waking up in audi colors aa he had been trying to mix for It! He had painted a pretty bright picture of that, and in auttlelently |>oaitlve outline too, and now he muatcoiifeaa It waa begin-nlng to get a trifle dim—fading a Uttio in spite of him.

N<it that ho hud really caught no one out of tho host of passers tripping, in hia snare; there' was acarccly one who had not given it a look or. a geature, and aometlmes he could even tell what they were saying about it through the thick g:uss. But not one laid a hand on tlie door tu aak If it could be bought, that he wasn't prepared for l i ini; ho had measured iiiiii exactly through the window, and made up hia mind. " T h e picture was promised elsewhere, he- was very sorry," and the regret waa quite sincere, for hia blight idcturo t't ded a little, as each turned it way.

" Your foreground la Betting pretty well foreshoi'teiied, P l n x i t ; it can't be denied," lie aald to iiiniself when only two more lays remained; but what then? If he remembered rightly, Kve had not iiiude the shadow of an np-pearuiico when " the evening and tlie iiiornlng were the flftli. day." So he liliicked up a fi'tsli relay of aplrita and carried the evening bravely through, fairly getting the professor started on general prubleiiia long, before it was over.

Eve did not aeeiii quite so certain a precedent lor Celeste, when morning came, but Fink hud never beaten a retreat in his life, and' he marched pluckily to ills (iiMt once more. But lie sat tliere feeling a little mo|iisli al'tei ull, for broad dayligiit is apt to sliow realities, and as if it were not enough to be disappointed, a auspiclon tliut he hud been making a fool of hiinself begun tu creep disagreeably in.

"Well, if your colors won't lake, after you've aoiie your beat," he be-r gun, ua the day wore on, and' he was almost tempted to sleep on guard a tew moments, when suddenly . ho felt a thril l! Hi s eyes flew to tl ieirduty aguin,and tliere,-oh,lila prophetlcsoul! —a tress of golden hair was fluttering straight toward liim, against the win-do w-|iane!

Plnxit had talked about a cheek like a rose, but no rose ever turned from whi le to red, and buck to white again, as this one did beforo hia little handl'ul of sweet-|)eaa; and as for the eyes, he could not even guess at those, so steadily spell-bound they seemed to the low corner where his picture stood, Willie a slender, fur-wrapped flgure stood outlined, motionless, against the glasH.

Moments passed, and tliere was not a stir in tlie siiuatioii. Plnxit and his changeable rotê both stood I'lveted; he waa auro tier breath . cama rapidly iigainat tiio icy pane, and he held ids own until bo was near losing it,—for was not everythini; trembling in this one minute's acalo?

She turned from the window at lust, and Plnxit had hia hand on his hut, but no, tlie door opened, alie was coming i n !

•'The 'itlle Hower-pictnre in the window," she asked, " is It that it is lor sale?"

Pink would have waited a moment for the pure delight of seeing the daintily gloved hand press upon the counter as It for help, but that would never do.

" T h e artist did not give distinct instructions, Madam. It is to be removed to Ills studio to-night, however, ami can be seen there with others, I believe."

" It Is very odd—the ribbon," ahe said, hesitating, and drawing lier yeil more closely aa the white rose turned tu red again.

" A n old thing, I suppose; some relic, no doubt," replied Plnxit, carelessly.

,Slie hesitated aL'uin. half withdrew her hand from the counter, and then steailled herself once more.

" They are very beautiful—thepeaa," she said at lust, trying to press ha ik the lock that would float toward Pink.

" Madam, they are C'elcHtial,"' answered Pink.

Thai was a pi'cnc rfw rcaMfincc, his proof shot, and it had done its work, bo was pMsillve of it the moment he saw tho start, und thetrenibtlngof the white wrist on the counter, with which It waa received; and then he hud to stand an answering shot from under the veil, that would have|)ierced some people, soul und niurruw ; but he met It as innocently as if ho hud never dreamed of anything but burnt sienna In his life.

l ight step was licard coming near and paualiigjuatoutalde. Pink threw hia briisirugaliiat tho wall; where It left n liltle sliir of roac-color to thla day, and opened the door, allppitig a little be-hind It'as It swung in, an that his via-itnr and the profesaor encountereil face to face. One look waa enough for tho little nalnter,iind he viinlaheti through tho atill open door; > ^

But he kept an earofjcn for time, through It all, and llatened for half-rust twelve to atrlke.

plain enough to be aeen. "Tu-uiurrowI" the profeaaor waa aay-

" I shall come," ahe aald, and In another moment Plnxit only aaw the place where alio had been atanding, and there waa nothing more to do but to wtap up Ilia picture In a piece of brown paper anil carry it home under bis arm; no one waa toatareat it any more, that waa one mercy at least.

That evening was the worst of all. to be got over. If the professor were to have heaven otien before him tho next day it had better come with one bur^t, Plnxit thought, but the dlfllcult qiira-llon waa, how to contain himaelf intlie iiieanilnie. And when inoriiingcunie the battle was all to be fought over amiln. Four mortal lioura to be devoured, or to devour him, before precise noon could arrive.

" Come ill, can't you'?" ho said, ". I wunt vou to help mo prove an equii-t i o i i ."

" In three or four minutea," answered the professor, with his eye close to a heap of flgures, and lie went back in a white beat, but knowing very well that tho professor would be true to the aecuiid. And so he was, only casting one quiet nldeway glance at Pink lis he came In ; he had not been down town that morning—what did It mean?

A unrreapondent writes from Havaii-iia: Kvents. here are fiMt hiiatening now to tlie flnul crisis, one universal growl.tills the air. 'I'he treasury Is hopelessly bankrupt, und the inability to collect money Is patent to nil. The $15,()U<).0n0 loan, which netted very little cash to the Oovernment, was long aiiice used u p ; both the civil list and tlie military pay rolls are from six to eigiit montii's III arrears. For this $15,IK>0,UU0 Idati the Government made over to ttie leaders tlie total receipts of all the Custom Houses of the island; so that, although the lenders have received tiicir nioiioy buck, and in some cases at least one hundred percent bonus, this revenue la cut oH* fnim tho treasury. . Taxea cannot be collected. On city property the 30 per cent tux on ull liiconiea amounts to conflsca-tloii. l u t h e . rural dlatricta, matters are. If possible, worse. Very many planters are demolishing their sugar estates, and endeavoring to sell or biro out tlielr slaves. Even at the present cxhorbitaiit prices ruling for sugar, the tuxes eat up ull the profltand convert the planters Into mere nianagera for the Government.

It is not too iiiucli to suy that Spain has lust the island as much by ita own reckless mismanagement as by the force of the Insurrection. Her extortionate system of taxation, rendered necL'Ssary by the ofliciul |j6Culutloii of her representatlvca here, baa alienated lier most loyal aubJeetH. I f t h e revolution were by a miruulo suppressed today, Spain could not liold Cuba another year.

As to tho famous conqueror of the Cuiiists, Martinez Camiio.s, he has found here hia Waterloo. He came with men, money and prestige. He will return in a month, or perhaps sooner, beaten, moneyless, und utterly bankrupt in reputation. In the Held he has been badly shipped, and all his military operatlona have signally failed, i n ills endeavors to Liny up the Cuban leader.s he has found them madeof difl'ereutstufi from the Ciirl-Ists, und his scouring purties' in the Villas Department'committed utrocl-tlesequalled only Ijy those of-theTurks In Buiguriu.

He waa laid away, in one of tlie beds of the hospitals to die, and another little creature of the same class was laid neur by, picked up sick with famine fever. The latter waa allowed to lie down by the aide of tiio liltle crushed boy. Ho crept up to liini und said: "Bobby, did you ever hear about Jesus?" "No , I never heard about him." "Bobby, I. went to Mission Sciiool once, und they told us that Jesus would take us to Heaven when you died, and you'd never have hunger uny more, und no more pain if you axed him." " I ouuidn'task such, a great- big gentlemen us he la tu do uiiything for me. H e wouldn't stop to apeak tu u boy like me." "But he'll do all that If you ax him." " How can I ax him if 1 don't know wliere lie live, and how could.I get tliere with both my legs broke??' " Bobby, they told me at Mission School as how Jesus pasaca by.

Tlic Economist thinks that tho proceedings of the electoral tribunal and the way in wliich Its decisions have been sustained by American public opinion, looked at broadly, arc very slgiilAcautuf the tendencies of political feeling in the United States. I'heflrst thing noticeable Is the ateady, btisincss like American moderation which, where an arrangement between two opposing parties is once made, ia desirous to stand by tlie arrangement, whether it works well or 111 for the ]mrtiea concerned; the self-control which submits with good, grace to arbitration after it htm once been accepted, even though the decision goes against tlie person who accepted it. Wliutever may be the immediate result of the decision'of the tribunal In relation to the Deniocratic prospects, its ultimate efl'ect ia'llkely to serve very well the views ami tlie policy of tlic Democratic party.

The temp gress In ship of Francis Rttirphy, has already attained 1 wonderful dimensions, and promises to be memorable as the greatest local reforhi the country lias ever seen. Mr. Murphy hua been iuborlng continuously ;in the two cities, Al le-ghuny und Pittsburgh, since November lust, during which tinie nearly 50,-000 people have been led to sign the pledge,und the work, spreuding to the viiiagea. uround, hi^s tuken muny of them also by storm.

Probably few citiea In the country stood more in need of such reform one year ago than did, Pittsburg. "Injipite of the strenuous efl'orts put Ttsfth through' the ordinary channela by the Temperance Alliance, etc., the evi l seemed to be on the increase, The Inception of tlie preaentspeciul endeavor to conquer it was made in March,1876, when, under the Insplrallou of Chancellor Woods, of the Western' Penn-aylvaiiiu University, the Young Men'a 'iemperance Union was formed for the piirposc, but even tho moat s a n guine did not untioipate the wonderful reform which was to result from ao slender u beginning. Hon. Fe l ix It. Brunbt, a prominent citizen of Pittsburg, In a letter printed' In the N e w York Obaerver, aaya that . the aoclety, when late In November it decided to engage Mr. Murphy tu lecture there, waa able to ruisebut$200 for the purpose, while ten weeka later the'Treaa-urer'a report showed receipts $4,175.75; illsbursements, $3,fl58.0«. , air. Murphy cume, engaged at Arst to deliver only eight lectures; but before the eight was tlnlshed the work had ao proa-(lered that he delayed lila departure un'd'haa never since beeu able to leuvo It. The Fifth Avenue M. E . Church waa the Arst^ regular place of meeting, and wua, crowded n ight ly ; overflow meeting were soon held; in' neighboring churciicBJ and the work ao constantly enlarged, that eight or n ine weeks after Mr. Murphy's arrival n o leas than thirty churcliea were holding " Murphy meetings" nightly; the Churches being of >every Pruteetant denumiiiatlen, and the work, whi l e thoroughly, Christian, aa thoroughly uiisectarlan. The minlaters of the city have aided Mr. Murphy with great eealand wonderful unanimity, and many of the leading citizeua have been personally proinlhent in the work, wlille hundreds of others .have given It efllclent aid In private. Many of the reformed drinkers have becunie active workers for the help of others, and have carried the good work to the towns around, where ita success has been no leaa aignul than lu the city. In all, more than 60,000 have aigned the "Iron-clud Pledge," and'; tho end Is not yet ."

Spring styles. In goods are now liberally brought out. Tlie most notable for street costumes is a new fabric similar to cashmere, but very flue, soft and tight, well suited to spring weather; and the close drapery «>f the fashionable skirt, which is now more sniigiy draped than ever, but low, and with trails of niodemte length. The skirts r.-qulro very little trlmmimrs or llouncings, as the overdresses and polonaises are made very long. "Sleeves are smalf and very tight

No bustles, are worn—ludeeil, the more closely the skirt or basque is tlt-tcd below the belt, the more stylish it is considered.

Hair stripes and fine checks in summer silks are ofl'ered In very pretty shade's—delicate grays and browns— in price from one to two dollars and a half per yard.

A favorite material for ni<!e summer suits will be the new grenadine velour. It takes the place of the satin striped grenadine of liwt sca.son, and is striped alternately w i t h silk and velvet, or formed in plaids by a coiublniitlon of both. '.Theprlee is l'ron)?2toiii-layaril.

CambricS'in tlnc.stripes, and siiinli checks will be the prevailing Humnier style. .: All sliapo.'i, ill round hats will be worn, but the high crowns have passed liy, and the brims will be wider. The new imported patterns have low crowns and broad brims, not very unlike the sailor hats of a few years ago.

Flame color, we arc told by those who are authority In millinery, will be seen on bats this seiMon us generally OS was cardinal during the past winter.

The flowers displayed for, the garniture of hats are elegant wreathes aii'd lieavy trailing vines. They have never been excelled in beauty and delicacy, and arc so true to nat'dre as to provoke the admiration of even a casual observer. Our modistes'seem to vie with each other In making the most exquisite floral display. The prices are comparatively low—as, far as everything pertaining to a lady's wearing apparel.

Buttons are all the rage. On dark suits very small white pearl buttons are used; put on yery thickly In lineM or In clusters.

The paper mache buttons are very sliow.y, and haadsome. A new thing' for dresses Is the brocaded. galloon or ribbon, the body of which Is silk, nnd nearly coveretl by closely \voven flowers, in gay colors. This , Is designed for the new style of spring cashmere, and is from two to seven dollai-s pur yard. ' Passementerie will bo. very 'much used for trimming, and fringes are still In favor. Combination, suits arc still Worn. Some Imported dres.'j-es have three shades of the same cidor.

LuAtyear apples. were. so ubimdant that, In some localities, they would not pay for handling, and' large quaiitith>s were left to ilecuy/where they fell. In view of the fact that a year of excess and low prices, is followed by one of scarcity,; and high |)riccs, iiKiuiries have conic to us in such numbers as show that many arc considering the practicability ofchanglng this state of alUiirs. I t is.an encouraging liign that farihors are induced to liiiiik iibout'thelr orcliard at'all,"for as a general thing;thei'e is no part of their, belongings so neglected as tills.

Tl iecai isoof all trouble with fruit trees, whether of failure altogether, or occasional excessive bearing, aiid' the rest, may he summed up in one word—neglect. 'We now condiie our remurks to the present trouble, and to answer the various inquiries alxiut alternate l)eariiig. The apple tree left to Itself, will generally bear sMch nn abundant crop that It rcqiiiresanother year, and sometimes longer, to recu-' perate,and accumulate sunicle'iithutrl-' mentto form budsand nourish another^ crop. Th i s tendency is very marked, in some leading varieties, and usit has been goiiig on for many years, th'e habit has become flxed, and wheirwc propagate these varieties, the young trees start with -that as one of their peculiarities, in which they have been educated, so to speakJ 'It Is well known that this lendency is much more marked in some! varieties tliaii In others, und while some naturally fall into alternate bearing, oliiers resist it, and will, if they liaye a fair chance, trivea crop of friiit ever.v year.

Varieties that niitiiially bear annually, may be coiu-crlcd into biciiiiinl bearei'-s by starvation ; planted, as they often are on poor soil, and robbed of their nutriment by another crop, the trees cannot get food enough to enable them to carry even a small crop every year, and they are, forced into alternate bearing. The practical question is; how can ,trees thiit how bear excessively one year and nothing the next, be made to bear moderately every year. So far as the alternate bearing Is due to the jioverty of the soil, the remedy la evident, and no doubt would be, with many varieties, sufflolent.—/l»necica».<<sr/ieMW«rM;.

BUaHTEB DATS. Tho ,owdicli ooDoiliiitorir inauganl

of Pnildent' Hayei oometto the nation 08 a propbeby of better: thiDni. < i Witb a jttit:;diMlrimination between^ iriglit and wrong, and an eameat deeire to promote tbe oommon intereat, be itrikcf at tbe root of-exiating evila,\'8nd propoies an efficient remedy. Aa an im'portant.aid to real reform, be baa sougbt the counsel of men famed far more for devotion to principle than- to party—« poiaible bint that politioal Bbrewdnesa may not hereafter be rcoogniced as tha chief preparation for auccessfiil at iteB-manihip. Tbia departure from time-honored custom has already'called out much advene oriti bum from the demo-oratio press. Not content with ani-madversiouB , up(yi tbe commiasion, the republican party, and tbe country in general, they ooncehtrate their bitterest inveotiveaupon tbe president; bcoause, forsooth, not being of their own choosing, he ignores their aupreme law of rewards and punishments t It is'pitiful to see these baser elements of human nature so persiHtently stimulated through the public prints; biit, happily, the ignorance displayed is so apparent aa to render such appeals comparatively harml^.

The policy of the new administration, as indicated thus far, will have a tendency to reassure all sootions of the country. East and west, north and south, may hope for a revival of busincsa industries, and a now activity of long-neglected interests. Each may con-iidently expect, on nil disputed points, a courteous bcariag, an intelligent decision, and impartial justice.

Weighed in tho balance with the tolerant utterances of Mr. Hayes, tbe bitterness and strife of the last few months count as nothing. White and black, rich and poor, capitalist and laborer, partisan and patriot, are invited to co-operate in tho one great work of reform. Tho recognition of the politioal principle that " lie best serves his party who best serves his country," promises to usher in another " era of good feeling," such OB characterized the administration of Mr. Mouroe; and, remembering that individual success and national prosperity ever wait upon enlightened moderation, tho next four years give guarantee of moral and ma terial triumphs such as the country has never seen.

BLUE MEN. Neither Dr. Penza nor Gen. Pleason-

tou was the first person . who made use of tho alleged medicinal properties of the color blue. Dr. Ponza discovered that blue glass exercised u most beneficial influence upon insane patients, ond thereupon Gen. Pleasonton tried it, and w:is 80 delighted with its effects that he published a pamphlet upon the subject.

. Both of these distinguished men were, however, anticipated by the traditional monkey, who painted the tip of his tail sky-bluo aad complaoently remarked that the effect was " neat but not gaudy." He, doubtless, did not fully understand the hygienic properties of blue, but of him it may certainly bo said that he painted better than ho knew. Beyond a doubt his blue tail outgrew the uncultivated tails of his fcllow-monkoys, and thus illustrated tho

, value of blue, centuries before Punza or Pleasonton entertained the least idea of being born..

It is a narrow conception of the usefulness of blue which requires us to use it in tho shape of blue glass. If blue glass is good, so is blue paint, blue cloth, and blue curtains. This truth has already been dimly perceived by one or two of Gen. Pleasonton's disciples, but it was left for a returned mis-, sionary to prove that blue in any form always retains its wonderful tonic properties. The missionary in question spent a largo part of bis life in New Zealand, where he moved in the best heathen circlesi and enjoyed the friendship of the most eminent cannibals. The New Zealander is addicted to tattooing himself in a groat variety of patterns and colors, and the missionary soon noticed that those who were tattooed blue were much more stalwart than red, green^ or yitllow heathen. Ho found, moreover) that a heathen who tattooed himself blue above the waist and yellow below would, soon develop great; breadth of chest and power of lungs, while his yellow legs would shrink and dwindle into comparative insignificance. Tlio meaning of these facta could not be misapprehended, and the missionary waa forced, to believe that tho effect of blue pigmcnrt, intirdduccd under the huawB eul^plepis in the highest degree beneficial.

It would not be difficult to ahow that blue clothing baa,also a atimalating effect upon the. wearer. Daniel Webater alwayaworo » blue i coat, and i t ia needless to remark that'., ho waa simply full of intellect. Andrew Johnaon was al-'80 addicted to blue edata, whence doubtless he derived that wonderful strength of mind that irreverent persons mistook •for obatinaby. The blue-uniformed

Federal aoldiera overpowered tho gray legions of the South, and the blue-elated French troopu which had uniformly beaten the whiteôated AnattUni, were nevertbeleu defeated by Qenuuui dressed in uuiforma of w atiU darker shade of blue. It ahould bo notedi however, that blue clothing, while ila infiuence :Upon the brain cannot be doubted, has little or no effect upoii, the: body. I t atimulateB .the' intelleet, develofiB.caur-lageji 'd;' oiher.;";mpral quilitibs,' biit;it deea not affect growth and developmenit of the physical frame..'Thus, the *ear: ing of blue atooking undoubtedly stimu-lateaitheîntelleotiial .powers of Now England iadtea who write poetry and advocate the immediate reformation of everything, but there IB no reason to suppose that it develops—that is to'say, that it improves the proportions—in short, it does nothing of the kind. All the evidence goes to show that blue Btookings benefit the mind and not the muBclos, and in this respect blue cloth ing of any sort is much inferior to glass or tattooing.

, We need not, then, waste our time by dressing in blue oi bysitting under blue glass. Tattooing jia what we really need A blue band, two inehea wide, pricked upon the forehead would doubtless prove a advereign propbylactio against bead-aehes, while'thoBC wô have the courage to have tlieir heada shaved and their BoalpB tattooed with Antwerp blue will develop brain power at a rate which will astonish their warmest admirers If Talmage were to have both his legs tattooed'blue, his eloquence would be come so vigorous that nothing but a cast-iron pulpit could withstand it; and if Donn Piott were to employ some skillful anatomist to ascertain the prob able locality of bis bruin, and to tat too it with care and thoroughness, ho might develop sufficient intellect to dis cover whether he is more of a fool than a knave, and thus relievo his present distressing uncertainty. Instead of painfully undergoing gymnastic tortures, voung men covetous of muscle need only tattoo their arms and chests in order to rival a Yale oarsman in pitysical strength, and could maintain their digestive powers unimpaired among all tho horrors of tho boarding-houso table by simply tattooing a broad blue bolt around the lower vost-pookot region.

But after all why should we prick blue paint into our surfaces when we can dye ourselves permanently blue by simply swallowing oxcessivo doses of nitroto of silver? The process is perfectly painless, and it has the advantage of coloring not only tho cuticle but tho entire UBBUO of the body, as anyone can readily ascertain by first dyeing him self deep blue and then sinking cxpcri mental shafts in different parts of his person. The truth is, tho white man is a mistake. He should have been born blue,.and since he now knows that to bo blue is to bo healthy—and probubly wealthy and wise—and that nitrate of silver will turn him quickly and permanently blue, ho should throw away his blue glass and his blue clothing, and swallow the largest doses of nitrate of BiLver that his ^ysieian can be induced to prescribe.—iV. Y. Times.

TUB Hon. S, J. Tilden has been so looted by President Hayes, at the sug gcstion of tho American people, us secretary of the exterior.

er uDi V HOW t o MARK A IIOI-BBD.

A good hot-bed' may' be made upon tliayttnaoo of the ground, piling up the manure'>fram two feet six inehcs to three feet high, and at least eix inches wider all around than the frame. Thin extra width tends to prcBcrvb' the lieat within'tiio frame; and if it be a foot wider than the frame it would be bettor than six inches. The situation should bo where the soil is dry; and the bed thould front to the south, or as nearly south as the location will permit. The sashea should either be procured before the bed, is made, or thoir exact size should bo known when the frame is made; and the frame may be made to hook closely together, so as to bo removed, and easily, stored away when not is use. Fresh horse dung is the best manure to produce heat. It should be thrown into a heap and wet slightly about a,week before it isi placed on the bod, and turned over once or twice before using it to increase the heat. When put on the bed, tread it down firmly, and cover it about six inches deep with light rich soil, and asoortain the degree of heat when you desire to sow your seeds, by plunging a therinoracter iato the soil; and if too warm, wait a day'dr two for the bed to cool. Seeds will stand a heat of ninety degrees very well. Sometimes seeds are sown in pots and pans, which arc plunged into tho manure without any covering of soil; but in such a case, it should be covered three or four inches deep with sand or ashes to rctaiu tho heat. Wooden boxes six inches deep, made of very thin boards, about two foot long, and one foot wide, would be better than pans and pots for some kinds of plants. Tiie bottoms might bo of zinc, or galvaiiizod sheet-iron, perforated with small boles to allow watcrlo pass through them, if the watering 'should bo too copious, Such boxes could bn packed in without any waste of room ; and they could bo easily removed to fork up tho bed anew to incroaso tho heat, or to allow a now bed to bo made, when tho heat of tlio old ono is too much exhausted.

UBNItY WHITBtiKY,

rnu.NE Youii auAPE VINES. Tho proper time to prune grapevines

is in tho fall; .'but many persons neglect to pruu? at that season, und in cases where tho vinos have not been pruned, they should bo attended to tho first pleasant day; and not wait till tho sup begins to flow, as thou tlicy would " bleed," and bo badly injured. In pruning grapo vines, you arc merely to put in good shapo, being careful to save th e most of tho best canes of last years' growth, which may be known from their reddish color, Tho ends of the canes saved may be cut ofi' to suit your trellis space; and the side spurs cut back to one biid, or as many as you please, according to the length of the spurs. A spur four feet long, with eight or ten buds, I should cut back to two or tlircc buds, and the cut is to bo made several inches from tho nearest bud. As you approach tho cud of the cane where tho spurs are shorter, one or two buds 'only should bo left,' Where vines are laid down, and protoctod for the winter, of course no pruning can be done.till taken up; but I presume that no one, who is worthy of owning a grape vino, has laid down his vines unpruned.

WHAT GUAPE3 AIIE llEST.

There is considerable interest felt in tho new varieties of grapus; and every person who desires lb plant a few vines next spring is interested in a.' certaining wliat varieties he had better buy. They who have not got tho Concord should obtain it as tho most reliablo grape in all soils and climates that exist in this country; arid for tho first time, reports oomo from Ohio that this popular variety begins to fail in that state, where for twenty-fivo years,' It has been grown in perfection, Btiit you want, perhaps, several varieties; but a;mong all that exist, uo man can say that any of the scores of varieties, except the Concord, that havo been in tho market a longer or shorter ticae, are SXLTC to be a success in any locality, except where they have been fully tested. In consequence of this fact, those wlto aro desirous of obtaining now varieties, which havo not been tested several years in thoir vioini-ty, must' run the risk of tho result. No particular credence should bo given to. what is said' in grape circulars, about tho adaptation of vines-to'all localities; nor to tho testimonials iu regard to tho qualities of diiTeront varieties oiFored for sale, because testimonials as to quality are often given by men who are not good judges of grapes. The best I can do for those who are seeking for good varieties is to say: The Delaware, Ionia,Agawam (Rogers' Hybrid, No. 15) and Concord, aro tho four best old colored varieties, which may bo risked in any part of tho country where the Concord ripens. There aro several new vario-ttii which havo lately coma into mat-ket, 08 tli« Brighton, Cliampion, Worden's

'Seodling, and Lady,^ the last named be-jîDga white grapo. All of thcso aro

Baid'tb lie'goOd, but ,08 to! quality ^bey may be good, and they may not. Then they,are sai^to bo early,' tho Ghampion being olaimed to bo ten days earlier than tho/Hftrtford Prolifio;,'but whou wo oonaider that about three-quartors of tho grape vines sold during tho . last thirty years havo been, humbugs, if not frauds, as to quality and barlincss olaim-for them', wb cannot ezpbot that: any very great reformation bai taken place in the morals /of grape .'yino! venders. Buy sparingly and with the expectation of being cheated in some degree, and then all will bo right: As .an'inatanoe; of misrepresentation, some years . ago tho Walter grape was; oztensiyely advertised as ripening in New York itato in August, and as be ng " the only raisin grape in the United States," I t turns out with me to ripen with the Cnnoord, and to be no raisin grape at all, and nut worth cultivating at this late day, when there are so many better varieties.

HOIATlON OP CHOPS.

A judicious rotation of crops will keep a farm in a good state of fertility without any manure, except what is made on the farm. In the first place, turn over a field, in sod for corn, first spreading upon tho field what manure you can spare, and turning it iihder as fast as spread, or the same day at least. Deep plowing ia not necessary in plowing award land for corn; but it should bo turned over flat and evenly, and after harrowing the laud the corn should be planted immediately, so as to get a good start ahead of the grass. The next year this land may hear a crop of oats, barley, or spring wheat. Seed it down to clover or to any other grass with it, the clover being necessary to fertilize the land the third year, by turning under a second growth (tho first being cut for hay) early in September, and sowing tho land to wheat or rye, and seeding it down to grass again, omitting to sow tho clover seed in this case till the following March, when it may be sown even if the ground should bo covered with snow; and as soon as the snow is gone and tho land is dry roll it, and the clover seed will catch well. There is no kind of grass so good as a green fertilizer as clovi>r, as its roots penetrate the soil quite deep; and with the green clover turned under it is equal in fertilizing land to a moderate spread of stable manure. Wo aro now on tho fourth year- with wheat or rye and the land properly seeded. The fifth year may be a crop of hay, and the sixth hay or pasture, to be followed when desirable with another rotation of crops, but it is not essential that the above system bo strictly followed, but it is necessary that the clover be grown to bo turned under at the proper time, if tho land is to be kept in a good state of fertility without manuring.

TOP-DIIESSINQ OncHAKDS.

A writer on this subject says: " The most perfect treatment for an orchard, to give vigor of growth, is to cultivate the surface in connection with a moderate application, which will produce decided results. Wo visited an orchard which had for years' received an abun-dant top-dressing. All the manure that could be spared went to the orchard. Tho mellow surfiiee could be kicked up with the boot among the grass, The trees bore heavy und excellent crops. The Loudon Garden- mentions aîmilar instance. An orchard stood in grass, which was mowed each year and the grass carried off. It thus grew poorer and poorer, and the trees were stunted and covered with moss. Then a new treatment was begun,' All sorts of refuse matter were wheeled oroartcd on, such as sifted coal-ashes, old tan, scrapings of roads, fragmentary manure, etc., until a considerable thickness liad finally acoutnuluted. A free growth com-incnccd, and improved crops of apples were tho result." ;

I'AINT AND UEPAUl YOUR IMI'tEMESTS.

No furhier should full to put his farm implements in good order before .work commences in the spring. Some of, them, undoubtedly, need painting;, and others, perhaps,' aro not in good ropair, a brace being broken, or a bolt, or it nut missing. While you are at tho blacksmith's, it would bo well to get a few extra nuts made for such implements as aro liable to have them lost when in use. You should also have duplicates of such parts of your mowing machine as, are most liable to break. These can bo obtained of the maker; and if you never need them, you may consider yourself fortunate. Now is tho time to attend to tlieae matters. In regard to hoes, shovels, spades, etc,, it is best to havo a surplus, to be used in ease you want to employ extra help at any time. It is unpleasant for a neighbor to bo called on to lend a hoe, shovel, or other farm implement, when ,'they can bo bought for fifty cents or $1,50. Remember, too, that the best tools are tho cheapest in the end.

with awful literary hiingryness by <.' the million," The editor of the Eau Claire (Wis,) jFl-cfi Pjvss,'after ho had road the dforesaid first obapter,'got his romau: tio ideas up to aiieh a pitch of excitement that he determined not to wait in long •uspenBe for the finalo to oome, so he anticipated it—probably by purloining the concluding pages; or possibly, by placing himself in "spiritual iiffinity" with the sanguinarily taken-bff'i Wolf, ganj;;. , AVe must say that tho story thus closing is deoidcdlyicnsatious: ' OiiAFTKu 488.—Our readers may foci-

curious to know whatever, became of Captain Ltster, who was left iii'a oavr, bound with irons, while the rising'water was threatening deatruction to him and ,the pesky rats. It will be remeniberQd that ,ho had just discovered Carrie Thornton through a fissure in the rock, %, eircumstauco which gave him'. great courage. He bribed ono old ' rat to gnaw off his irons, and, killing the remainder, he tied their tails together, tookhimself to pieces, and Carrie drew him up through the craok, piece by piece, by the rat-tail rope. Captain Lester having, with groat presence of mind, marked each piece, had no difficulty in putting himself together again. Just at this moment Wolfgang came in, and Captain Lester stuffed a feather bed down his throat, causing instantaneous strangulation, Captain and Carrie were married, and aro now keeping the Wolfgang House, on tho rock of Gibraltar, at the mouth of Baffin's Bay. They are said ' to be in easy circumstances. The captain never thinks of rats without shuddering.

Tho iiianagemont of tho Michigan Central Railroad was never better than at the present t ime, and w e have not heard of a s ing le fatal accidont caused by ni i s -managomont, for tho past several years . The supervis ion of the Passenger Departm e n t has been and n o w in under the e x cel lent management of Henry C. W e n t -worth, one o f t h e pioneer r a i l r o a d m e n o f t h o w o s t .

The Michigan Central RUlroad Is tho connect ing lino botwoon Dotroit and Chicago, and with its branches roaches nearly «3very important c i ty iu the 8tate of Michigan. The trains m a k e fast tiniio, and tlin condition of tho road is e x c e l l e n t ; much of it Ixiing bui l t a long t imo-î l l ol i t l ong enough to bo settled, l eve led , and everything in such sniooth,good runn ing order that an oxporlonced traveler s leeps as comfortably In a Palaco S leeping Car as on a spring mattress in an or-dhiar.v hotel. The carefiiliioss and <!our-teous' bearing of Coaductors , Ungiiieers and l loadmeii impress tho traveler with tho conviction that tl ioy not on ly fUlIy understand the dut ies of Ihetr posit ion, but that to discharge those dut ies is their pride and pleasure. I f any of our readers should go to Chicago or olsewhoro via the popular Mich igan Central Road tlioy wi l l tind what w e havo stated to be tho" truth in every particular.

'I'lic correspondent of the Tribune, writing rnini Columbia, Ohio, tells us wliiit liiaiinerofnian Governor Hayes is in the following:

Now that it Is so well determined that Governor Ui«yes will be the next Pri'sidonl.nl'the United .States, I Will briefly relate what manner of man he Is from my knowledge of him during twcnty-tWo years as well as from wintt I saw this ntorniiig. Uorn in 1822 in Delaware county, Oliio, Governor' Hayes is llfty-llvu years of nê, but u casual observer would take him to beat least ten years younger. There is not. a vestige nr};ray III his ubunbtint auliurn balr ur.<I the full beard ho has always worn evia'H1 nee I have known liim. Alert, youthful as he was twenty-five years ago, he is a forcible example of an abstemious life. He was never in a bar-room, it is said,in all his years; he is an utter stranger to tobacco In all its forms. Nobody ever aaw him lake u drink of li(|Uor or smoke i\ eigur or chew toliuLco. These may be negative virtues in tlie estimation of optimists, but to satisfy them It can be added that nobody ever knew him to sacrlllce truth to gain any ptdilical or personal end. Living in full piihllu gii/.e for twenty years and coming out of tlie most exciting presidential contest in American liistery, Gov. Hayes Is uliso-iHtely without a blemish. Tliere are doulitle.is many other Americans for wlioni sii much can be said, but it is someihinirto be able to say so much for a I'i'esldent-elect. It can also be iiuid of him that the public welfare us he Kees it has always been his irnide. • * » More tliun any man I ever knew lie is a man of self-poise. It bus been Ills hab.t all his: life to face re-siMinslhilitics and uncertainties without the twitching of anuiscle. That he. is a mull of four is undoubted, beuause he is a Christian gentleman and fears to do wi'oiiK : that he is u man of nerve Isalso uriloubted, for he never ttlnclied from doing What he believed to be right. Able, cultured, of large experience in public altairs, havini; extra'ir-dinary nerve and yet strangely dim-dent of himself, Uutherloid Ji. Iluyes will not' only credit himself but the Nation in the Presidential chair.

The work was to have been completed in Deiiember, 1877, but the legislature of 1870 ordered several important cliangesin the building and ni.ide the necessary appmprlatiohs to carry the same Into elleet. These changes rc-iinircd additional work, and of course exteiiiled the time for the completion of the building; but they rendered it iiinre suh.stanti'al und will greatly udd to its beauty.

Rutherford B. Uayei'wiuf horn Ootiv. ber4tb, 1822. In tUe town orPelaware; Ohio. His fatlier, Rutherford Hayes, was born in Vermont, and emigrated to'Ohiu In 1817. As a business nian^ the Aither was intelligent, eiiterpris-Ingt.iahd active. As a citizen lie was above reproaub,and was distinguished among hl8:nalgbl>o|-t^ aUke for bla In-depeiidaneeafid fur.his Integrity and thrift. rHe waa not Wealtby* 'HIa deatli in. July, 1823i left the family in comparatively, stral^htienetl'. cirduin-Htaiices. But the widow, Mrs. Sophia Hayes, a woman noted for the great energy of her charueter—industrioua, capable, and self-reliant—a sincere Christian—affectionate, and devoted, as only such women nre, to her ohiU dren.ably supplied the loss. Young Hayes waa sent early tp school. In 1838, at the age of sixteen, he entered Kenyou Conegeafterpuaalngthe usual examinutioii; and in 1842 hegruduated, with the hlghett;!bou<^rs, delivering the valediotory (if hla class. At ooi-' lege, young Unyes' favorite stuilics were mental ami moral philosophy, mathematics and logic, and the languages, piirlioulurly the German und French, which he mustered and translates witli ease, speaking tlie French with considerable fluency. He early entertidiie<i an inelinution for the law, under the. Inttuenee of Mr. Eboneaer. Lane, an cniiuent Jurist of Ohio,'and' long a Justice of the £ iipreme Court .of the State, while ii'ttendihg tlib proceedings of the courts. He according-, .ly, U|)Oii leaving college, entered upoii tne'study of law at Columbus In the tilllceof Mr. Sparrow, u gentleman of dislinguislied nierit in the legal pro-fessbni. In 1843 he entered the law school of Harvard Uiiiversityi then under, the charge of the celebrated Jurists, Justice,Story and Prof. Sliupn Grecnleaf, and flnished the "course "of lectures in 1815. While hr Boston he attended the lectures of Prof. Loiigfei-low On foreign literature, nn<l those of thegreat Agassiz upon pliy.slcal und irutiirul science.

His written of him that at college, he "behaved llkeuconsiderute, niatiirc nnni!" "tcreat common senso" di.s-tinguislicd "his per.sonal conduct;" "believer uttered a profane word!" In the language of another, Hayes, at Kenyon, "was a noble, chivairnus fellow, of fffeat pronil.se;" "be was poi)U-tar, magnanimous, manly;" he "left a glowing memory—u memory tliat was a fascination I"

In Decemlier, 1852, at Cinclnv.ati, Mr, Hayes was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Webb, an estimable lady, of ruroaccomplishinenls und domo~stic virtues—a most fortunate union, which bus greatly inlluenced his character and life. Admitted to practice in the courts of Ohio in 1845, tho young lawyer, prouil of his profession, and burning with an niubitiun for distinction In its hmiored walks, hung out his "shingle" at Lower Sandusky, now Fremont, Sandusky county, Ohio. In 184G he' formed a law partnership with Gen. Itnlph P. Buckhind, sub.se-(|nently a member of the State Heiiatc,' and a Union veteran in the war of the nehellion; but, in lS4S-'0, failing health forced him to seek recuperation uiider the climate of Texas with his friend, Guy M. Bryan, Six monthsof active life on the prairies, boating, fishing, and hunting, ri.'.stoied Ills constitution to robust lieaUli, which since has never fulled; •

In 1S,JO hccstablishcd himselfin an oflh'e in Cincinnati, und in 1854 iitiit-ed in a law partnership In tliat city with It, M, Corwinc and W. IC, llon-(M's, under tiie firm name of Corwine, Hayes & Rogers.

The Itebellioij.in ISdl,found Uutlier-fordB, Hayes among the foremost in the field of perilous duty. As Major of the 2i{d Oliio volunteers, as judge udvoeute of tile tiepartnient, and ii.* lieuteniint colonel of tlio roglniciil, in the summer and fall of hSlll, Hayes was active svltli the arin,y of Ko.seiM'uns, in the gallant work, of clearing the mountainous regions of WestA'irKinia of u formidable enemy. In the fall of 1.S«2 he was at South Mountain. Leading the Union advance at the head ofhlsVegi; iiient—one: of the regiments of the famous "Old Kanawha" brigade— ufâinst superior forces, jKisted ndvun-tageonslyou the crest., of the mountain. Lieutenant Colonel Hiiyes encountered a stubborn resistance. The rebels dis])t)ted every foot of ground, but Hayes, chuiging rapidly and gallantly, again and a,i;ain, drove the reliels out of the woods, drove them across the fields and up the mountain'. Wounded and fainting from loyrt of blond, but recovering, he uilvaiiced bis reKhnenl, which had retired upon his fall; falling again while fighting at tiie head <if his men, he was carried from the Hold; again lie reappeared, with his wounds half-dressed, at tlie I.(tad of his regiuient, uniinating his comriiiles and directing the light, uii-clt, falling again exh'aust<.-d, he was again carried from the field. The remainder of the brigade urriviliK, the enemy, by a brilliunt bayonet charge, was swept from the crest of the iiioun-taiii into the woods lieyoiid. It was u gallant fight on u beautiful .Sunday niorniiig in .Septemijer, It was skillfully finighl; It was bravely won. Hayes' gallantry, fortitude and conduct, infecting his little bund and sustaining them under tremendous losses —a lows of one half of their number hors flu (somlial—ugiiinHt heavy odds, until re-enforced, secured u handsome victory to tlie.Union forces.

This heroism, the intrebidity, skill, endurance, andi daali, uisplayed at South Mountain, never deserted him : it was eonspidiious in his every flght. In 1803 be pursued and captured he sanguinary raider, John Morgan. At Clyde Mountain, in tlie spring of 1854, ill command of a brigade against tlie enemy fortifled upon its summit, ciiargliig, at tiie head of his men, through the woods, over bogs and creeks, with hundreds falling around him, amid a storm of "iron hull," he sweiit over the works, and bayoneted their defeiidera under their barricades.

In July, ut Wliichesfer, in command of u brigade, he, wltliHIie gunant Mulligan, moved out to meet a supposed recoiini>issiiiice by the enemy, but the rceonnolssunce, developing into n

'movement in heavy force, Hayes and Mulligan were Miirrounded—closed in on both flanks. No retreat was proposed. He and Mulligan continued to mlvance, butun annihilating fire from artillery and infantry, in front and on both flanks,'mowed down by scores tlie devoted band. , Mulligan fell.' Ha,ves, with great coolness und judgment, slowly retrentcd to a liill inaccessible tp cavulry, und turning, hnrli'td buck theycllim: pursuers.' His horse liud early been killed iifider liliii. Hence, from morn till niidiiight, on fool, ul-wuysexpo.sed in the position of danger. Haves, by intrepid daring, endurance anil skill, rescued Ins little command from aunlliilatiou by overwhelming nundiers. Aitain at Berrvville, 'Vu., Ills gallantry and skill illustrated his devotion to tlie untional cause. At the

Opequan. or Wiuoiiester, in Septem-..bett,., 1804,..one.of. Slierldan'a master triumpliain the valley, where, defeated at noon and disaster apparently in-evltablo, at' nightfall he was vietori. oiia: In the recovery of tiie day, in the charge of the reserves under Crook, Uuêa^ brigade again'led the atlvance. Strikin|||>r tiie flanks of tiio victorious enemy, and cliarging with a yell amid a storm of death-dealing missiles, over morasses in which his men sank to the chin—over morasses flanked by high ..banks—up the bunks, up, the hiUs^ tbrougli the woods, currying the eueiny'a fartllleatlons, flanking .and defeating bim, he entered Wiiioliester at the head of bis nieii' in! bbtpurault of Early. At Fish«r*a:Hill. still In pursuit of Early, after Ope«iuuii, again turning the enemy's flank. Ly pushing his way up mountains, tlirough woo«ls, and down ravines, supposed to be im-liassabie, he, with indomitable perseverance, courage, and admiralile skill, carrietl the enemy's position with a yell, and completed the rout and dispersion of the panic-stricken foe. ;, At Cedar Creek, In October, tlio Hcene of SheridanV memorable ride, and: ever-gioriouH victory,::again the "Old' Kanawha," under Hayes, sustained the early brunt of the flght, exacting all tlie heroism of its intrepid commander. Overlapiied and assaulted iiiipetu(>UBly on iKitti flunks and assailed in front, his line rapidly melted away : Hayes was left alone, ex|>osed tott murderous tire, A lieavy volley was aimed at him. It killed his horse, riddling it. witli a score of. bullets; Plunging forward, n Its death throes, it vialeutly tltruw Its rider, dislooaling his ankle; and bruising hliii fromiiead to foot; lie, nevertheless, regained his re ifnent. At tlie crisis of the buttle, Sheridan's arrival, after his spirited ride, changed tlie whole face ol aflidrs. "Boys we must go buck to cjiniii," was his Inspiriting cry. Buck they went right gallantly. Rapidly reorganizing his broken ranks, and reforining his line, with tlie/'OldKanuwhu" inthe center, he charged Early iinpetuoii.'sly in frtuit and flank, torclng liiin buck u'liini Cedar Creek', lliially Invaking Ills army in utter rout, and iiursnlng und captui'ing pri.soners, artillery, arms, cunip.s, and hajinage, Tlie victory was as complete as jilorloii.s. Early was si|nclched.

It was on this memorable field that Sheridan, clasping: the hand of Hayes, exulainieil: "Colonel! from this day forward you will be a br!ga'<lier general," Ten days later the eommisslon arrived: a little later Una of major general. Wounded four limes, und a hundred'days under fire, expo.sed to death in a series of brilliant aetions, his proinolioiis were but tlie well-eftred meed of merit in the field,

Rutberfoi'ii B, Hayes gave his maiden vote for President to the gallant leader Clay and voted for Scott, Tlie Whig party liaving collapsed uiuier tlie slavery Issue, Gen, Hayes enlisted under tlie banner of Itepubilcani.sni, and errneslly lai)ored by voice unil vote, flr.st for the ele<ttloii of Freuiont.,uud next for lliat of Abra-lium Lincoln, In 18(i4, while in tiie Uebl, without his knowledge, without his connivance, against his wish, he was nominated (or Congress by llie Itepnblieaii convention «>f the 2nd Congressional District of Ohio. In 1800 he was rcnoniiiiati'd by accluina-lion and re-elecled. In 1S72 he declined nn election to the United .Stales | Senate, refused a federal a|ipointinent, and.had retired, as beliopi'd, to private "life, but in 1875 was recalled to active pulitlcs by un appeal of the Republicans of Ohio, of the country, in llieir travail, for the prestige of his name ; a tliird time he was eleeled Governor of Ohio.

FiiW men, now living, have a record so grand. His every victory, in polities as in tJic field, was a Iriiiinpli of thenufion. In all, llie .spirit of the patriot, tlie inflexible chiiiiipion of his eotintry und freedoui —u(|iuil rights for nil—ruled and ti'ium|)bt'd, and his countrymen were the bencfli'larii's.

In 1.SII4, iijinn his lirslnomination to Congress while in the Held, ho eiideav-ored'loevade the honor. In a letter to a friend in Ohio, daiod ".Sheridan's Camp, August 24lli, ISIM," lies:iys:

"Your suggestion ubont gelling a furlough to take the stump was certainly made williout reflection. An ojflcer (Iffor dutu, who, at this orhix would abandon hia pimt to ctcaiionecr for a seat, in Congre»» ought to be noalp-cd. You may feci perfcvtl.i/sure lahaU do no HUc/i thing."

He was elected, triumphantly elected, in despite of llie lyiiifc caricatures and ribald lampoons of the Democracy, by a majority of 2,450 votes, over their strongest man. After the full of llich'nond, after the surrender ut the Appomattox, und all armed resLstance to liie iiulionnl uuthorily hud ceused, (';ien, Hayes, In December, 180,5, took his seal in tiie Hou.se,

Both in Con resH und as Governor he.earnestly eiicourageU all measures and means tending to humanize the masses—to elevate or improve, their condition, or add to their liappiness or comfort. He was thus tlie zealous champion of our public school system. He luivoeated the cstabli^shnient of parks, lountains, galleriesof art, libraries, ccdleges, hospitals, and churches ; whatever benelltsorelevafes mankind; and gave a notableexanipl.> of his sincerity by inducing his uncle, Mr. Uurdis Birchard, in his will, to bequeath $75,000 to tiie citizens of Fremont for a public park and free library I He was his uncle's sole heir ; the bequest was cunsiH|Ueiiily at bis own exjielise.

He advocated and encouraged all measuree for the ilevelopment of-the industrial resources, or productive industry of Ohio and the nution-TOf agriculture, manufactures and commerce, ana of internarituprovenients by the State and nation. He is (he friend of cheap trausporation—tlie zealous chumuion of civil service, and tlie enemy of'debts and high taxes.

He sustained the great principle underlying "Reconstruction,"-freedom equality, iiumnn rights! He demanded irrevocable guarantees of these by amendments to tlie organic law, basing represuntution, not upon uopuia-lion, but voters; and secured, in eoii-lunctioH with Orth,flf Indiana, and 'fJiiUom, of lliinoi!!, the rntlHcation of the new amendments by Tennessee, wliicih wiis necessary to render tliciii valid.

Upon all the groat rpiestlons touching the pu(dUi,debt, or the finances, of the Republic, he was patriotic, inflexible, and sound. He believes that "licncsly is llifc best policy." As the debt of tlie Revolution was "the price of liberty"—ihecodt of independence— so the debt of the Rcbelliim was the price of nationality—of national exist-eiiee. It was consequently "sacred •md inviolable." It outrht to be paid, principal and interest: it eould only be repudiated or sealed In national dishonor.

The nomination of Gen. Hayes for the Presidency was a tiiunipli of the best elements of the Republican party. His letter of acceptance gave great iiope to those wlia sought to purge the party of its unfaithful followers and of

the Influence of their counsels. His diaoretioH baa been . eonaplouous throughout the campaign; and the re-itoration in the inaugural address, of the sentiments expressed in his letter ofncceptunoe marks the President us altogether truthful, eouEistent, and raithfui to his corivietions. Of hls|)fll-iey towards tbo Soutli, which is as yet slinply foreshadowed, it Is too early to speak; but the whole country is looking to itund to him with the hope that tlie turmoils and untiifjliuisnia wliicli uJHIot tliat section will be speedily settled in iicaee und Justice.'

Itcpprt of tho .vllver CoinnilHsloii.

Tlie following aire tin* conclusions of tlie report of the Silver Ceminissinn, whiciii was presented to Congress, signed by Senator Jones, of Nevada, and Bogy, and Representatives Wil-lurd and Bland, aiiu the Hon. Wm. S. Groesbaek. Thoflrstquestiou relates to the causes of the recent change in tiie relative value of gold and silver, and to the elTect of that change uimn trade, coniiherce, finance, and the pro? ductlve Interests of the country. The Comriiission concur in the foi-iowliig opinion of the British Silver Commissloii of 1870: That the recent increase in the production of silver IS not one of the principal causes of the decline of its relative value. Notwitiistanding tiie late rise in tile production ofsiiveras compare<1 with gold, its proportion to gold' is ^ till considerably below what it' was in 1848, to say nothingof the period when the proportion was three to one, und the conclusion seems Justified tlmta review of the relation of metals in times past sliow that tho full in the price of silver is not due to nny excessive production lui compared with gold. It is not now seriously maintained anywhere that uny recent fact iti the production of silver Is among the causes of its relative decline. The eunses of file rceeiit change in the relation of gold and silver uremainly the demonetization of (jilvcr by Germany, the United .States and otiier countries, and the closing of mints iigainst silver, which resulted from \thls demonetization. These prineipal causes were aided by tiie contemporaneous diniinu-tioii of the Asiatic duiiiund fur sliver, and by Ihe enormous uxagf>cratlbi'is of the uctuul iind prospective yield of the Nevada silver mines, and the effect of all three causes, principal und accessory, reached ils culminating (iniiit in the panic of July, 1870, In the Leni-(loii silver market many of these causes are essentially temporary. The Asiatic demand for silver has already recovered itsucGUslomed force, nnd the delusions in respect to the Nevada mines no longer e),'ist. In theopinion of the comnii.ssion, it the United States restore u double standard the progress ofdemonetizingsilverwillbedecldedly r liecUed. The effects of the denionet-ixations so far accompllHhed, and the resulting disturbance of the relative value of gold und silver upon trade, commerce, finance and productive interests in this country und throughout the commercial world, have been signally disastrous, and especially to countries which liuve recently demonetized silver, or in whicli a gold standard was already established.

In all coinnierclul eentei's, ttio same phenoaicnn ure slkiiultuneously pre-.sented of falling prices of coniniodities und real estate, diminishing public revenucp, starving poorly-paid und unemphiyed laborers, and rapidly mnltifdyinicbankniptclcs. These facts existing everywhere iiiu. t arise from some cause operating every wliere, and no such cause Is, or can be, pointed out except tho jiroKi'i'ss made in contracting llie standard of values from gold and silver togold alone. This distress dates with the law of the United States of February 12, 1.S73, and tlie law of Germany of July, 1873, giving prnclicul efl'ect to a previous de(M-ee of lluil empire of Decemlier 4, 1871, for tlie e.stubllshinenl of a single gold standard.

Silver to the amount of $3,000,000,-000 in coins, tlic aci'uinulutlon of filly centuries, is so worked into the web and woof of the world's commerce that it cannot be disrarded .without com-nierclul, political und soolal uatastro-phy. Tiie evil is enormously, aggravated by selectliiK gold us the mctid to be retained und silver as the inetul to be given no. It is the .production of silver which is the moderator of tlie fluctuations of gold, and which, di-r-lugithe sudden and enormous additional supplies of gold since 1813. has saved the commercial world from ruinous disaster. Tlie California and Australian placers would have inflicted practical confiscation upon the creditor classes If the.sllviir which ninny of tlieiii now seek to discard had not pro-teeied them.

Tho third question covers the two points of restoration of a double standard in this country and of tiie be.-'t lethal relation between f;old aud stiver. Tlie eommisslon reconiiiieiid the restoration and unrestricted coinage of both metals of a double standard, but are unable to agree upon the best legal relation of tlie two metals.

Tho third question relates to the pidicy of continnlng legal tender notes with metallic stundurds and the effect thereof upon the lalior, industries, and the wealth of the country.

The etniiml.ssion do not suppose that it is possliile to malntuiu paper in actual concurrent circulation with coin, unless paper is made equal in market value to coin by actual convertibility into it, und the unswer to this question muy be enibruced In the answer to the last ({Uesiion, which relates to the resumption of spepie imyment.

The fourth question covers the means foi.facilitalinira resumption of specie payments, Tiie British re-sumîtlon of 1821, as it was actually accomplished, was followed by un unexampled cominerclal aiitl Industrial depression, covering a period of a generation. It is not posnible to draw from that history an example much to enlighten us as to the proper nolicy to be now pursued by the irnited States. The eominissioH have been able .to arrlveut only the one xingle conclusion, that resumption in this country is not prHctieablc under the circumstances. Until the exlstinir laws making gold the sole inetHliic legal tendre are repealed, resumption while tliose laws remain in force is the i-stabllMli-ineiit of an exclusive gold Htundard in the United .States, Just us English resumption in 1821 gavo effect to the English gold law of 1810, Tiial tlie precious meluls tou.ether are adequate to malnlaiii t^xistiiig prices is niitde at It'iist doubtful i>y the fact that.somiiny Countries liiive ubaiidoncd coin pay-ineiits within recent yearsj and iiave resorted to paper money. The lolul iiiudei|uacy'of gold alone iti apparent. Germany commenced Its march, not yet completed, to u single uold staii-itard. nn embarrassed by national or frneign delit of any kind, and with a tribute exacted from FraiiceOf. 1,000,-000,000 francs. If tlie German movement under these favorable clreuin-stances lias resulted In such-great comtiiniereial lilslurbunce and such keenness of private distress, it may, he iintlRlpated what the Hnaiieial ruin will be in this-country if it sliull iienlst iu

the aame movement under the weight of erionfiouadebta, publloand private.

In',,tbe opinion of the commlaslon tho rembnetlxtttlon of sliver la a measure esJiential' to it|iecle paynient;' and may make auob payments practicable; Sliver Is aometbitiK, whether obtained by oomnierca with Europe or from the Comstock IddiB, and those who oppose our receiving it fhim abroad must desire to see our ninea closed at Jioine. Finally, the comraisaion believe that the facts tliat Oerniany and the Scandinavian state* liaVe adopted tlio gpid standard, and that some other Euro-iiean natlona niiiy poaslbiy adopt iti instead of being reaaona for iiersever-ance in the attempt to establish It in tbo United Statea, are precisely "the facts which make aiioh an < attempt more overwhelmingly ruinous. -, Iftue nations on tlie continent oTEurope had a double standard a gold standard would be possible here, because in that condition they vtotdd freely exchange gold for.siiver. It waatbat condition which enabled Eagland t» resume ape-do payments In 1821. To prouoae to this country a contest for aigold standard with Europeana la to propoae to it a disastrous race, reducing the pricea of comnioditica and aggravating tbe bur-, den of debt, in which all contestants will sufibr immeasurably, and the victors even more than the vanqutsbeti.

A Temperance Meeting In a D i s tlllery.

Mr. Geo. G. Reddick, of Pittsburg, Pu., inangnruted a temperance meeting InSewlckley township Pa.. Friday of last week. The meeting was quite successful, resulting in the obtaining of forty-three signers. On Saturday iiigiit, by the Invitation of Mr. Tlnnnas ftlcKire, pioprletorof the large distillery ut Moore's station, Mr. Bc<l-tlick started the work In a huge room uttuched to the distillery. The nioet-iiig was opened und conducted by Mr. Reddick, who introduced I'rof. Chees-niaii, of Ellzalielli, who spoke at some leiiglh. Mr. Moore was then called nn. He said It looked strange to, sec the owner of a dLstlllery hiaking a temperance speech In his own still house. Only for his large investment in the tusiiie.ss be would quit. He would make the temperance people a presentof fifty thousand dollars If they would buy him out and put the establishment to u belter use. Every man should sign the pledge, especially the young men. Were it not for the fuel he hud always been a (nan of Iron will lie might liuve been u drunkard. He had seen the dangers of tiifiiiig with the cup.

Signing the pledge would Injure lio man, but- would' certainly do him much good. He beseeohed all not to follow Ills example. They hilgbt not be able to resist temptation us be had done. His addrens was well received, and resulted in tiie securing of a largo number of signers,

Mr. Momiy said. In preaching on "Ciirist as a deliverer," "I. remember preachiuK on this subject, and walking awny, I said to a Scotchman, • F didn't finish tlie subject.'" "Ah, man ! you didn't expect to flnish, did ye? It'll take all eternity to flntsli telling what Christ has done for man.'!

Men discover that it la far more convenient to adulterate the truth than to refine themselves. They will not advance their minds to the standard, therefore they lower the standard to their minds. , Hope is the last thing that dlies in iiiaiii and though It bo exceedingly deceitful, yet it is of tills good use to us, that while we arctravdihg through lifei |t conducts us In nn easier and more pleasant way to onr Journey's end.

It Is one thing to love truth, nnd to seek it, for Its own sake; and quite another, to welcome so ' much of It us tallies with our impressions and prejudices.

Look at Paul, in his pride, nnd blustering and threatening on his way to Damascus. Look at him afterwards; he is proud still, but his pride has sweetness In it. Before, he used hla pride to lift himself up aUd make himself great and grand, now he uses it to lift up tbe poor and sufTerlng, and ministering to their wants.

We havb on former occasiona suggested to our ngrlculturul rea<ier» new fields of enterprise whidi they might enter with reasonable cerfainv of profit. There is; aiiother staple which might be cultivated succesaiut-ly and profitably in this region, and , that is flax.! The produce of the liar plant Is of.two kinds. First, tiie seeds from which linseed oil Is expressed, tlie residue forming a valuable feeding substance for stock, under the name Of Unseed cake. Second, the stalks wliich yield a flber that from the moat undent times has been'held in high esteem and which still provides material for some of the finest and moat durable fabrics in use- iiiien. • The chief seats of production and inanu-faeture at the present time are In Belgium and Ireland, the Industrial development of tho north of Ireland being niulnlv due to lis trade In linen. Russia also is a large producer of the raw fibre, its exports to England alone amounting to iipwar.lof two niilliona, of dollars annually, while India whose tropical cllninte favors the nroductitm of seed at the expense of stalk, exports vast quantities, of the former both; to England and the United .States. The eultlvutlon of cotton in this country ia confessedly aiiead of every other country, liotli in regan' to the qnanti^ produced and its.quality, but iu the cultivation of Uax, u material second to cotton In the manufacture of textile fabrics, we are decidedly beiiind-hand,' a great part of tho very intHlerata quantity worked up iu our facloriaa being imported from abroad. Yat there are few crops which give a better return when Judiciously planted, and wlieii the treatment of the flbre ta properly uuderstood, the exhibit made* at the centennial shows conclusively that botli our soli and climate arc salted to the production of ail article which, in theopinion of theezpertaal tbe Centennial, was superior in ita staple and working qualities to the samples exhibited of foreign produe-tion. This should ciicourage oor farmers to undertuke Its ciiltivatlnn. A little experience in the preparation of the fibre for tlie niurkct will sufBec; and there is always sale for it at good value. The need of our agrlculttur* being diversity of crojis; the cultivation of one whicli aflbrds eniployment not only to the farmer but to the many hands necessary in its manlpulatlan , and preparation, Is worthy of seriona , atteiiltoh. . « 1

All nieu, especially those wlio are young, should be urged to be positive in their belief. Base not your tuitb on" ignorance, but on an intimate a»^ quuintunce with the ins|)lred volume; Be diligent students of the Word. Skepticism has two sources in our day, —ail' overweening ]irlde of Inlelicct, which disdains to sit us an liumbte learner at the feet of God; and a supar-Hcial knowledge of tiio Scriptural^ These are the two fountains of bitterness from which flow waters that quench no thirst, nnd drinking whiab. you will Imbibe fever and delfriun..

Eren the report of the eurreyor-generalffbo flint wenlout,waa to the effect that this peninsuU was worthleia for the putpoiei of agriculture. The parU known as awampi and manhcB were the last to emerge fôm the water once corering the whole surface, considerable tracts being yet corered with water, varying in depth from a few inches to as many feet, and yet called lakes. Considerable iracU that are now recognised aa marshes were, within the memory of men now lifing, known aa lakes. Numeroas causes undoubtedly combine in bringing about these changes: One is the natural lowering of the water level j another, and probably the'greatest, is the filling of these low places with aquatic plants and vegeUbie mould, forming what is commonly known as peat. So much for the

TBIOaV o r TUKIB FOBMATtOK.

It Is a well known fact that the lower lands in all cultivated countries, contain the largest amount of plant food, and I see no reason' why the tame is not true of the swamps and marshes of Michigan, in their original state; the peat, being continuously submerged or saturated, is only psrtialiy decomposed and contains acids and other elements obnoxious to sweet'ôr cultivated grains, grasses, etc.

Mow what is to be done'in order that man may reach the treasures that have been ao-cumulating for ages in these vales 1 The first thing to be thought of and put into practice in undertaking the improvement of ail wet lands, marshes snd swamps, is

DBAINAOB.

Stagnant water bi)ing injurious to all the valuable classes of plants, I consider drainage the key by which the problem is to be solved. DilTerent individuals understand this term differently, or, rather, do not agree as to what constitutes drainage. Where attempted. In a mfjo'tty o ' <^<'*' *^P '•> this part of tlie country, it consists of an open furrow, or ditch through the center of the lowland needing drainage, crossed by cattle roads at different points, and the watof standing within a few inches, at most, of a level with the adjacent land. In my opinion no land can be considered drained, when surplus or stagnant water stands within

TUBBB FEET OF TUB BDBflAOBi

and my objections to open ditches are nu-merons: They are ezpenaive, requiring the removal of a large amount of earth in their first construction, needing constant care and cleaning; they are dangerous to atock; they are inconvenient, because scarcely ever following any point of compass by whjch farms and fields are laid out, and having the earth necessary for their construction. heaped up on one or both sides, after the manner of forming the dykes of Hollsnd, and covered with noxious weeds, grasses and brush. I regard covered or blind drains as the most permanent and satisfactory way to secnre thorough drainage, for some reason, that I do not pretend to be fully able to explain; but experience shows that

CtlDBB OB TItB DBAIH

are much more efficient in extracting and carrying the surplus water from off* and out of the soil,ihan the open drain. How often do we sea water standing on the surface close to an open drain, when the water is a foot or more below in the drain;'when it is a well known fact tliat a tile drain in the. same location would almost,immediately relieve the soil of this surplus. Tile, draining as they undoubtedly doi from below,cause a vacuum; which tlia; aarface water rushes to fill; and again the tile will draw or carry ofl water at a much lower grade than open drains; and when once'well constructed, I consider them about aa permanent as real estate itself.

seems to be specially adapted to this method of seeding, fighting Its way and overpowering the wilder grasses. A dressing of rich mannre or rich upland soil is of the greatm benefit, aiding the tame grasses, which Is equivalent to exterminating the wild grasses. On a small scale, cropping with vegetables n i g h t be recommended, most of which, as fkr u my experience and observation go, succeed quite satlsfsctorily, especially on those parts formerly covered with bogs; which is equivalent to saying that where the peat or muck Is less than four feet deep, after the removal of the surplus water deccmposl-tion of the peat

Marsh that I have had comparatively well drained for a number of years has, as nearly as I can judge, settled at least eighteen Inches.

The relslion the lowlands of Michigan sustain to the general agriculture of the state is of great importance, as before stated. The greatest amount of plant-food lies iu these low lands, catching, as they do, the rich'drifl and wash of the higher lands, added to the accumulation of decaying vegetable matter grown on their own surface. Now it seems to me to be evident that good farm management should seek to bring back to the higher land, this

ACCDMDLATED WEALTH.

How can we)better do this than by growiiiK the crop of grsin or grass they are capable of, where heretofore the worthless wild grassss grew, and feeding, this grain, etc., to a iiood class of stock, returning the manure thus made to the partly impoverished higher lands 1

No more experienced, eminent, or progressive cabinet was ever called about a man.

Everything about the new administration promises aggressive action In reference to the abuses of the last, administration, a moderate and cohciUatory policy toward the south, and a general but healthy revival of the moral and material interesta of the country.
