fJenfrat Amnesty.
A BorTHEiix editor, com men tin? upon
the lctierof JetT. DavU lu reply to Messrs.
lil.iinr Ami GnrficM, snys: "Jeff. Davis
w a right, " and adds:
We are netting e'rnnt enirjh It think nnrt 7y

The only ' concessions" made bv ex
Confederates that we know of arc: first,
consenting to come back into the Union
aftcrthey were whippet!: second, begging
for amnesty. The " concessinn" of
com in hack into tlie Union when they
couldn't help it is uot worthy of much
consideration. The "concession" of
bepjriug for amnc;-ty and taking an oath
to pet it when they could not get it in any
other way is not exactly conclusive of
loyaltv and pood faith. Xow the South
ern editor says : We are getting strong
cnouph to think and say whit we please."
This is the eecict of the Amnesty measure
defeated by the Republican minority in
the lower house of Congress. The purpose
of its introduction and intended pa-ssago
was to demonstrate that there was no
longer need ot concessions on the part of
ex-rebels. If an Amnesty bill could bo
passed, restoring to. all the rights of citi
zenliip, Jeff. DaVis and others, who ob
stinately decline to beg for pardon, and
who still declare their adhesion to the
cause of the late Confederacy, the act
would constitute a tacit recognition of the
right of secession, and so of the binding
force of the doctrine of btaie sovereignty,
as opposed to that of the indivisibility ot
the nation. Thus argued ex-Con federates
in and out of Congress, and the Demo
cratic party of the country adopted this
xiew, and voted for atnneMy without con
ditions. Hut the fact that amnesty under
these circumstances was defeated, shows
that the Southern editor is too fast in de
claring " Wc are getting strong enough to
think and say what we please." The
proposition to indorse the doctrine of
State rights in the form of an Amnesty
bill, thus threatening the nullification of
the later amendments to the Constitution,
roused the national spirit and called forth
a vigorous protest. The South is not
" strong enouirh" to think and sav what
it pleases, if it pleases to think that this
is not a nation, and pleases to say that
the secession of ltil was a righteous and
a legal art. It is just this principle that
the people will not consent to have em
bodied in the form of law. Inler-Ucean.
Hon Southern Sectionalism Has Re
tired. Under the Reconstruction acts, planters
an I commercial men have grown rich,
and with their increase of prmluction and
wealth the old spirit of the slave master
lias returned with double force to crush
out personal liberty. An ex-Confederate
talking over his exploits always grows
warm on the subject of freedom, lie will
tell you that the South, meaning the rebel
South, could not live in union with the
North because its liberties were d-stryc 1.
It therefore appealed to the arbitrament
of the sword. I5ut if you ask: Why did
the South rebel? he will tell you to pre
serve slavery, and that the "lost cause"
will still revive and flourish. The exist
ence of this element in the country is
shown by the per.-isteut ell'ort to re-enact
servitude in some form; to bring the col
ored citizens under the control of the
whites, that they may do the bidding of
their old masters, or sutler the conse
quences. The White Leaguers in the South
are composed of ex-Confederate Demo
crats and their sympathizers, who have a
graduated scale tit oppression to de
stroy the independence ot the black
voter. Democratic land-owners will not
sell or let to a negro land in States under
Democratic ascendency. I 'loiters or
farmers will not employ or pay for negro
1 ilxir unless the colored man will under
take to vote as he is told, and always for
the enemies of his race. Traders will not
give the black man tru-t for the necessi
ties of life. The lo.-al ofliecrs in such
States are not anxious to educate the
negro, and so they complain of his igno
rance and want ot culture. What, then,
can the negro do who has his family to
provide for? Do these besotted ex
C'on federate, whites think the colored
men cannot see their drift? Practical
slavery is re-established wherever the
colored man is prevented from sup
porting life by lalor unless lie will
rote under the dictation of his masters.
Negroes that resist these outrages are
ruthlessly shot by men who talk of the
brutality of the negro character, and tell
how much they yearn to have the North
forget the war and embrace as brothers.

The Republican l'artj In Illinois.
We may say with all truth that never
have we witnessed in the State of Illinois
more confidence or a lietter feeling in a
political gathering than characterized that
of the State Centra! Committee and the
scores of prominent Republicans who re
cently met with it in this city. Without
exception, the gentlemen in attendance
and almost every county in the State was
represented gave hoiK'fiil reports of the
political situation and prospers.
The Republican party is as strong in
Illinois to-day as it ever has la-en since its
organization. The "Lilierals" of two
years ago are coming bark into the old
ranks, and, as a rule, the grangers who
had been duped into the " Independent''
movement by Democratic sharp-practice,
have discovered their mistake, ami will Ik?
found under the Republican banners in
the coming campaign. With ft strong
ticket ot good men, and a platform that
will truly reflect the popular sentiment in
reference to the great issues liefore the
country, success will be inevitable. Chi

Sensible Tone? Ladles.
Sir Edward Thon ton and family set a
most excellent example, in the matter ot
d.-esa, to Washington society, and one that
Americans generally might heed to ad
vantage. This declaration is called out by an in
cident which occurred on the avenue a
few bright days ago, when ail of fashion
able lite here that could pet out was on
the promenade. The matinee at the prin
cipal theater was just pouring out its
crowd, made up lare'y of young ladies
dressed in all the agonies of the styles, to
swell the tide, when the English Mini-tcr
and two daughter appeared upon a cross
ing which led di;!gn?dly along the line of
the 500 bedecked American women.
As if by a common impulse the whole
crowd caught the sight, and all caught
themselves taking a good look at once.
Sir Edward Thornton is known to all in
Washington. His is a striking figure, and
he walks and rides so often that every one
recognizes him. It was not his appear
ance, howevir, that 'drew such suducn at
tention from this crowd of silks, laces,
feather nd jewelry, but the dn ss of the
two daughters walking one on each side
of him. There was the titled Minister of
one of the greatest nations of the earth,
living here in the largest mansion of the
city, and giving now and then such enter
tainments as eclipse all others for their el
egance. His establishment is a shrine
where all fashion which can obtain ad
mission worships. But lor all this here
were Sir Edward and his daughters out
for a walk, and by chance passing in re
view lieiore hundreds of American women
tricketloutin all that the fashion-plates pre
scribe; and being out for a walk, these
high-hoin young ladies were setting thfir
American cousins a letson which should
have put every one of them to blush. The
English ladies had on heavy boots lo begin
with, so heavy that it was entirely un
necessary to dodge around tiie damp spots
in the avenue crossing. Next, their arms
were free, and not engaged in holding up
the training dresses in which American
female idiots will persist in sweeping
through the filth of the streets. Their
skirts not only did not touch, but they
were not so low that every step spattered
them with concentrated nastiness. The
skirts were plain, and of plain material.
The.re was also an absence of the
intricate humping-up, reeting-iu, pulling
back and bunching out which distinguish
those whom Americans adore. IJut in
stead of all this, each wore a plain, com
fortable and decent walking-ekirt. Each
had on a substantial cloak, but, horror
upon horrors, they were cut in the stjlc
ot two winters ago. The chances are that
the cut was thai of three seasons since.
At any rate, that was the prevailing opin
ion in one group of Americans that dis
cussed the tiueslion with that eagerness
which its importance demanded.
"The horrid things," said one, as she
stepped into a puddle and splarhed her
while stockings and the whole side of a
white lace skirt she displayed as she was
trying to hold it out of the mud; "the
horrid things, those cloaks and skirts are
four seasons old, as I'm alive. And all
the money they've got, too!"
" Abominable!" gasped another, in an
under tone, as her own train of silk
swept otf the curb and into the gutter,
where it soaked a moment, as she com
pleted her observation and rcmatked:
"Abominable! What can the Queen be
thinking about, if she knows what guys
her immediate representatives make of
themselves in the Capital of America?"
And so the Minister and his daughters,
all the pictures of health and vigorous
life, moved along the front of the crowd
quite unconscious of the universal atten
tion they were exciting, or of the valuable
lesson they were giving those who chose
to learn it. Jlut lew of those who did
lay the less on to heart will dare to prac
tice it, ami probab y not one who moves
in the fashionable life of Washington
w ill have the courage to imitate the good
example of those English ladies of rank.
For if they did, you see, the young gen
tlemen who give the Germans gentle
men who would :itany time exchange their
own number seven hea U lor number four
feet would never be seen w ith them on
the street, or at the opera, and would nev
er invite them to those " divine dances."

In comparing the principal Armies of
Europe we find the German with a stride

Italian with one of 2i inches, and a ca
delice of 120; and the English with a pace
of yo Inches and a cadence of 11G per

would gain forty -ciht inches" "in every
minute on the ihitish, or at the rate of
240 feet per hour. In like manner the
Austrian and Ita"i-in gaiu cixiy-ilve inches
every minute, or at the rate of :?4-l feet
per hour, on our troops, and U1 feet per
hour on German infantry, 'i aking an
eight hours' march as a fair s implo ot
what may be expected from trained sol
diers on active service, it therefore reveals
that British infantry regiments would at the
termination be 1,S20 feet, or more than the
third of a mile, behind Germans, and 2,7o0
feet, or more than half a mile, in rear of
Austrians and Italians. The gain or loss
of distance being, however, of less im
portance than the fatigue caused by its
accomplishment, it is to this point that
we should direct the attention of the mili
tary authorities. According to our own
experience gained during marches in In
dia, aggregating several thousand miles, a
short, jerky pace is infinitely more tiring
than a long measured stride." In the first
regiment, in which the writer had tiie
honor to serve, "stepping out" was the
order of the day, and the men made noth
ing of rattling oil' their twelve or filteen
miles. But in his second corps a cramped,
dancing sort of gait had come into vogue,
to the great distress of every individual,
officer or private, who possessed the ordi
nary length of leg. Of course this is the
main factor to be considered when dealing
with the question, the same length ot pace
being clearly impossible for a regiment of
ducks and a battalion of stork. Rut it
haviug been just proved that French sol
diers, who are notoriously short-legged,
can step twenty-nine inches at a cadence
of 11-1 to the minute, there seem valid
grounds for believing that something bet
ter than a pace of thirty inches and a
cadence of 116 might be expected of the
comparativel.yjong-limbed Uritish soldier.

Seeing Yourself as a Ghost.
The possibility of this seems to be
shown by Mrs. Kemble, in this extract
from htr reminiscences in tiie March
Atlnniie:
I habitually read while combing and
brushing my hair at night, and though I
made no use of my looking-glass while
thus employed, having my eyes fixed on
my hook, I sat (for purposes of general
convenience) at my toilet table in front of
the mirror. While engrossed in my book
it has frequently happened to nie acci
dentally to raise my eyes and suddenly to
fix them on 013' own image in the glass,
when a feeling of startled surprise, as it
I had not known I was there and did not
immediately recognize my own reflection,
would cause me to remain looking at my
self, the intentncss with which 1 did so
increasing as the face appeared to
me not my own; anil under this
curious fascination my countenance
has altered, becoming gradually so dread
ful, so much more dreadful in expression
than any human face I ever saw or could
describe, while it was next to impossible
for me to turn my eyes away from the
hideous vision confronting me, that I
have felt more than once that unless by
the strongest effort of will I immediately
averted my head, I should certainly be
come insane. Of course I was myself a
party t this strange fascination of terror,
and must, no doubt, have exercised some
pow er of volition in the assumption of the
expression that my face gradually pre
sented, and which was in no sense a dis
tortion or grimace, but a terrible look
suggestive of despair and desperate wick
edness, the memory of 'which even now
alfects me painfully-. 13ut though in
some measure voluntary, 1 do not think I
was conscious at the time that the process
w as so ; antl 1 have never lwen able to de
termine the precise nature of this nervous
affection, which beginning thus in a
startled feeling of sudden surprise went
ou to such a climax of fascinated terror. ,

Hoit Consniners Are Swindled by Dis
honest Traders.
Honorable competition in trade is alarm
ingly rare. Men do not depend upon su
perior intelligence to get forward; but
upon an abhorred Admixture bf Cunning
And audacity. Intelligent mastery of busi
ness is not so much in request as preco
cious acquaintance with the trick of
trade. Industry there is of a certain kind,
but it is not that sound, safe, plodding,
straightforward virtue of the primitive,
djys, content to delve in humble obscuri
ty, and by patient, though tardy, accumu
lation, to reach the goal of modest com
petenc3 as the end of an honorable career.
This ancient and sterling quality finds a
deadly substitute in the feverish rush of
the street, the delirious whirl of the gold
room, and the frenzied excitement of the
exchange. The modern high-pressure
system of pushing business by rail and
telegraphic wire and traveling salesmen
has imparted to mercantile transactions
an exaggerated air of attractiveness ; and
thousands, fascinated by the busy scenes
of activity and bustle, "have vainly imag
ined that the merchant's yard-stick was a
Midas' wand to convert all that it touched
into gold. Dazzled by the spectacle ot
colossal fortunes heaped up by a few ex
ceptionally successful men in commercial
lile, the crowds of eager tradespeople
have swarmed every avenue of traffic,
jostling and elbowing each other in a suf
focating scramble for the prizes of bust
ness. Committed to their chosen pursuits,
however lacking in qualifications for Ul
timate success, men without capital and
without experience have recklessly
plunged into competition with both.
Jn a contest so unequal, an open field and
fair fight were preordained destruction to
the fledgling tradesman and tyro manu
facturer, llence the inevitable resort to
questionable practices. Hence short
weights, at first dexterously covered up.
The jobber, pressed by rivals, saw his
chance ot competition "in his illicit appeal
to cupidity; then followed orders Tor
goods far below the app roved standard.
The distant merchant, catching at length
the infection, lell into the meshes ot
dishonest manufacturers. liy the fatal
laws of action and reaction, potent in the
moral as in the physical world, the con
nivance of the retailer still further stimu
lated the dishonesty of the jobber, whose
patronage gave the maker of the. goods
warrant for still grosser and more flagrant
violations of mercantile rectitude. By a
singular hallucination each of the chief
agents in these nefarious practices flattered
himself that he was deceiving his fellows
in guilt without himself being victimized.
The manufacturer chuckled over the ob
tuseness of the jobber, the jobber felici
tated himself upon the stupidity of the
retail dealer. In the end the deluded cus
tomer was the common and helpless prey
of this ring of vampires. As all things
material gravitate to the center, which, for
each of us is perpetually downward only
downward so by this syBtein of Bharp
practice and trickery, trade abuses con
stanlry grew worse, and only worse. And
now what have we come to? The oil mer

the canned goods manufacturer makes a
smaller vessel and putscons'antiy less into
it; the soap boiler sophisticates his ingre

into short-size boxes; the match maker

hundred until his deductions reach into
thousands; the fish packer puts No. 3 fish

while numberless other clever tricks of

Story or an Engagement King.
Some time ago a wealthy and otherwise
attractive young gentleman of Washing
ton, was engaged to le married to a beau
tiful belle of Morgantown, W. Va., and a
brilliant "society wedding" was looked
forward to by the friends of both parties,
particularly the young lady intimates of
the prospective bride. But the course of
this love was ti ue to tiie proverb about
true love in general, and a month ago the
engagement was broken olf, how or why
docs not concern this story, though the
whole affair may possibly be rudely
dragged before the public by unfeeling
lawyers, and for no fault -unless careless
ness is a crime of either of the parties.
Of course, the engagement broken, the
young lady quickly sent back the ring,
and the quickest way she could think of
was by mail ; so by mail it went that is,
it started from Morgantown, but never
reached Washington. The gentleman
made no inquiries about it, and, but for i
train of events that couldn't possibly have
been arranged by chance, might have
gone on thinking that his former Ji inree
was mercenary enough to hold on to the
magnificent ring that had been a token of
her loyalty to liim. But the mysterious
destiny w hich shapes our ends ordered it
otiierwisc. A few weeks - ago one of
Hie Morgantown young lady's friends
saw the ring on the hand of a
lady in the same town, who was
not acquainted with the first-named
and consequently did not know the ring
nor its history. Investigation was at once
begun, and a few days' time and very lit
tle trouble traced the ring to a clerk in
the Fairmont postofTice, who, it i3 al
leged, had stolen it from the mail, loaned
it to a gentleman friend at Morgantown,
W. Va., w ho had made it to io duty as an
engagement ring lor his fiince in that
place. The Fairmont I'ostotliee clerk was
arrested by ; Government officials and will
be tried in the United States District
Court at l'arkersburg sometime during
this month.
To the trial of the postofliee clerk will
probably be summoned, the young lady
who " sent back" the ling, and possibly
all parties connecter! with it, including
the Morgantown gentleman and his fiiince.
Should the question of the ownership of
'the ring come up it will prove a knotty
one. To whom does or did the ring be
long at the time of its loss? Thecase wiil
be an interesting one at all events, aud
highly so if it should be necessary to le
gally prove the ownership of the alleged
stolen property. Cumberland (JId.) Aect.

hands high. It is estimated that if he
were fat he would weigh fi.000 pounds,

A Husband Loses Ills Wire at a (Jame
of Cards.
In the spring of 1870 a couple rcsiden
in the Sixteenth ward joined their fortunes
for bitter or for worse, and at the time
their prospects in life seemed very fair.
Since three years ago they have been
apart, not exactly through any serious
difference, and until yesterday had not
met during that period. The names of
the parties were Louis Lang and Anne
Horsman, the latter of whom is now
known as Mrs. Henry Doschcr, and the
wife of a truckman of that name.
Lang, in January, 1873, decided to take
the advice of Horace Greeley and "go
West," considering that times were hard
hereabouts, and there he might find an
opening. He is a professor of the ton
sorial art, and had liecome tired of being
a journeyman. Had he been able to open
a shop with first-class fittings and all
that, Lang would have remained in Brook
lyn, probably', but he was not a child ot
fortune, and his pride would not permit
him to 6tart in any other than a " bang
up" style. The plan was for Lang to get
settled at Chicago or some other Western
city, and then send for his Anne dear.
Each wrote to the other regularly for a
while, then the letters became less fre
quent, until finally, after about fifteen
months, they became completely, and, a
the sequel shows, effectually estranged.
So far as known, Lang remained true to
his vow si not so, however, with Anne.
She was Courted by the Henry Doschcr
wht jsc name she bow bears, and, taking it
for granted that Lang would never trouble
her"" married him nearly two years since.
Three months ago Lang returned to
Brooklyn in search of his wife and child,
and then learned for the first time of her
recent marriage. He had had " hard
luck" in his Western venture, having
bought out a shop which in a short time
usel up all his ready money, besides get
ting him deeply in debt. The fact was
that at no lime scarcely had he the money
to spare to return, and his pride prevent
ed him from making known to his wife
and relatives the true state of his finan
cial affairs. He lived in hope of re
trieving his losses and ultimately bceonv
ing a boss barber, but fate seemed against
him, and thus far ho has failed to realize
his ambitious aspirations.
Last week Lang traced his Anne from
a house in Ten Eyck street, where she
until recently lived, to her present place
of alMKle in Johnson avenue, and consulted
a mutual friend as to what course to pur
sue. Anne had heard of his return, and
naturally felt anxious as to the possible
consequences to her, legally, in case
husband number one should feel in
clined to appeal to the law. She also took
into her confidence a friend, by chance
the same person appealed to by Lang.
Each desired an interview, and the time
was set for bust evening at Anne's pres
ent home. Doschcr had an understand
ing of the circumstances, and willingly
absented himself, in hopes of tin amica
ble arrangement and that he should not
lose his wife. A brother of Anne was
present at the interview, which, through
his bunsling, came near ending in a
fight. Happily the woman prevented
hostilities, and managed so deftly that
Lang was satisfied to let by-gones be by
gones, and start out again as though
never married, on one condition, lie in
sisted that Doschcr and he with the
wife's brother and the mutual friend
should play a rubber at euchre, to deter
mine who had the best title to Anne.
This was readily agreed to, and the
husbands, as opponents, were soon after
introduced and both sat at the same tabid
To cut the story short, the rubber was
played and won by husband number two
(Doscher). They subsequently played
several friendly games as partners, and
w hen the party broke up there was not a
man of them but had, as one of them
termed it, "four sheets in the wind."
Both Lang and Doscher wisely concluded
that this sort of settlement was much bet
ter than indulging in '.he expensive lux
ury of the law, and that as long as they
were satisfied it was nobody's business

As two well-known citizens and their
ladies were returning home in their car
riage from the Germania ball, Thursday
night,their driver was accidentally thrown
from his seat, and the span of horses lie
coming frightened ran off' at a fearful
speed down Olive street, near Twenty
second. One of the gentlemen jumped
out of the door at Tw entieth street, in
hopes to catch the reins, which were drag
ging ou the ground. He was thrown vio
lently to the ground, but escaped serious
injury. The other gentleman, as the
iiorses slowed up in ascending the hill
from Nineteenth to Seventeenth, also
sprang out and endeavored to catch the
horses' head, but was left behind. The
two ladies were then alone in the carriage;
the time was about one o'clock in the
night; the horses reaching the summit of
the hill at Seventeenth street, turned south
ward and ran like lightning to Market
street. At Market they turned again to
the east, and after that their course be
came lost to the ladies, who remember
only that they turned a number of corners
right and left, and finally plunged under
the bridge at Twelfth street and dashed
along the north side of the Union DepoJ.
At this extremity the Hying span were
discovered by Mr. Pezolt, one of the sons
of the well-known confectioner, who, it
appears, was just leaving off" bis duties at
the depot, lie heard the ladies frantic
shout for help, and made a dash at the
dragging reins, just as the horses turned
the corner of Eleventh and were tearing
up toward the Four Courts. Fortunately,
he caught the reins, and though jerked
and dragged along some distance, gradual
ly worked his way up to the traces and
from them to the "bridle-bits, and finally
brought the span to a stand-still. It was
a noble effort, and was most gallantly ac
complished. The ladies took refuge in
the Union Depot, w here, aflcr a long and
most painful suspense, they were joined
by their husbands and returned to their
homes intact in body but suffering in
tensely in mind from their terrible mid
night ride along the dark streets of the
city, death threatening them at every
nibment and no human help in sight. It
was a miraculous escape. JSt. Lvuiit lie-

Facts abont Insects.
In 1872 the caterpillars of the brown
tail moth were so numerous as to defoliate
the trees of a very large part of the South
of England. The aiarm was so great that
public prayers were offered in the churches
that the calamity might be stayed. The
ixKr were paid one shilling per bushel lor
collecting caterpillars' webs to be burned
under the inspection of the overseer ot the
parish; and four score bushels were col
lected dailv in some parishes. But on the
other hand, the benefits derived from the
labor ot some insects should not be over
looked; some species feed only on noxious
wecds,and others prey on still more noxious
insects. One ot the greatest friends ot
the agriculturist is the family of ichneu
mon tlies, winch laythcireggs in the ttod
ies of living caterpillars, in which they
are hatched, thus destroying them; al
though the caterpillar, after being " ich
neumoned," has still a voracious appetite.
The caterpillars which feed on the cab
bage eat twice their weight in a day; the
larvsc of someof the flesh tlies eat a much
larger proportion than this. The repro
ductive powers of insects vary very much.
Some lay only two eggs; others, "such as
the white ant, 40,000,000, laying them at
the rate of sixty a minute. The queen of the
bee-hive is capable of laying 50,000 in a
season; the female waspyo.000. The ma
jority of insects, however, lay but about
10O: in general, the larger the insect tlie
fewer eggs it lays. Most insects have two
generations in a year; some have twenty;
others take seven years from the time the
egg is laid until their death in a perfect
state. But probably not above five per
cent of the eggs laid become perfect in
sects. Other insectivorous birds are dili
gent in destroying the larva; of insects,

USEFUL ASD SUGGESTIVE.
Pan Doddles. Make a sponge just as
you do for bread over night. In the morn
ing take from the bread dough small
pieces about the sire of a walnut, shape
them rather long than round; fry in boil
ing hot lard a light brown; serve hot in a
covered dish ; pull them open -and butter
them. You will find them both simple
and delicious for breakfast.
Gardeners should attend to the fol
lowing rules in making flower-beds : 1.
Avoid placing rose-colored next to scar
let, orange or violet. 2. Do not place
orange next to yellow, or blue next to vio
let. 0. White relieves any color, but do
not place it next to yellow. 4. Orange
goes well with blue, and yellow with vio
let. 5. Bose-color and purple always go
well together. Gardener's Monthly.
Oybtfr Toast. Scald a quart of fresh,
plump oysters in their own liquor. Then
pound them in a marble mortar, if you
have one; if not, lay them on the bread
lioard and pound with a pestle. When
jjounded till they form A paste, add a lit
tle cream, season with pepper, and, if
needed, a little salt. Have some nicely
toasted bread all ready, cut thin and
evenly, and spread the oyster paste on it.
Place in the oven long enough to heat
through; sprinkle over some finely
chopped pickle after it leaves the oven,
and serve; or serve the chopped pickle in
a separate dish, lest it may be disagreeable
to some. Chrintian Union.
Treatment of IIkn Canaries "While
Myj.TiNo. Keep plenty of saffron in the
drinking-water. Give sopped bread and
milk fresh every morning. Crush a mix
ture of canary, rape anil a little hemp
seed, and give a little fresh every morn
ing Give her water to bathe in when
the sun shines. Be sure she is not in
fested with parasites bird vermin; if you
have any doubt, put ft white saucer or
small vessel containing water under the
bird when she goes to roost for the night,
and if she has those tormentors y ou will
see in the morning some floating on the
water. It is worth your while to look at
them through a microscope. Take some
carbolic acid, and put just enough water
to make it a liquid, and alter cleaning
your cage with hot water, put on the car
bolic acid with ft paint brush both on the
inside and outside of the cage; let it dry
in the sun, and it will be a sure cure, and
no injury to the bird. Animal World.
Corn iii sk lrames may be made very
prettily and simply by taking pasteloard
of thick paper to sew the husks on. Then
select your husks; take fine white ones,
but not the finest. Take a husk, and cut
it into strips three-quarters of an inch
wide and three inches long. Then double
it together in a bow as in tape trimming.
Put two rows of these lows around the
inside of the frame. Next cut a piecethe
length of the bows and the width of the
husks, and bend the two ends together.
Now take your needle, and slit it very
fine through the center, and then sew the
two ends that you hold in your hand on
the frame over-lapping the row of bows,
one row of this slitted work. Then sew
on another row of bows; then take some
more pieces of slitted work, and turn, and
go lengthwise ol the frame not crosswise
as before. That forms the outer edge of
the frame. Take a thin piece of board
and make a frame. Place your glass be
tween your paper frame and your board
frame, and tack or paste your paper frame
down smoothly. You will thus have a
nice rustic frame. Beautiful little card
baskets and lamp mats may be made in
nearly the same manner. Western Rural.
Cheap Trees for the Farm.
There are doubtless thousandsof farm
ers w ho would have about their premises
an abundance of shade and timber trees
if they knew just how to obtain them. Of
course we reter to men ot limited means,
to whom ten dollars is a very large sum of
money, and far too much to risk in an in
vestment not likely to bring a full or im
mediate return in kind. It is to this
class, which comprises the great bulk of
the farmers in the newer Slates, where
trees of all kinds are very much needed.
that we have a few words of advL-e to
give at this time.
We presume that every one will agree
with us that trees ol any kind add much
to the appearance and comfort of a rural
home, and this is especially true in re
gions where natural groves and forests
are wanting. Much of the cheerless and
dreary appearance of the homes of farm
ers on the prairies Is due to the scarcity of
trees about them, and while the farmer
himself may often care little or nothing
tor this, we know that the Wite and chil
dren would hail such accessories with
real delight. But in case a man has no
regard for appearances or for the pleasure
or comfort of those placed under his care,
there is still another powerful argument
in favor of planting trees, and that is their
intrinsic value to the ower and cultiva
tor. Timber is often a necessity, and if a
farmer does not possess it on his own land
he must procure it elsewhere, and fre
quently at a cost far above what it might
have Ken produced for at home. Look
ing, therefore, at this question of timber
or tree culture in all its bearings, we can
find no reasonable excuse for entirely dis
pensing with such an important auxiliary
of even a moderately advanced system of
agriculture.
The cost of the trees and a want of
practical knowledge in regard to their
management are the two principal reasons
generally given for not attempting their
culture. But the great increase in the
number of nurseries during the past
twenty years lias had the effect of reduc
ing prices of forest-tree seedlings to such
an extent that they may now lie consid
ered as within the reach of all who may
desire them. The skill required to suc
cessfully plant such trees is more imagin
ary than real. A man who has enough
knowledge of plant life to transplant cab
bages orlomatoes will find no great diffi
culty in making the ordinary kinds of
forest-tree seedlings, as received irom the
nurseries, live and thrive.
Presuming that most farmers would pre
fer to start with plants instead of seeds
and, in fact, this as a general rule would
prove to be the most economical way to
proceed the first tilings to lie considered
are the prices and most suitable kinds.
To those living in cold climates we would
recommend only such kinds as are known
to be hardy and of rapid growth. We
would also advise purchasing young seed
lings, say from one to three years old, as
these cost less at the Durseries, and the
freight upon them will be less in propor
tion to number; besides which, they will
be more likely to live than larger trees.
We will suppose that a man who has
no trees growing about his place would
lie satisfied to commence w ith a thousand,
adding more from time to time, as his
im-ans admit.' This quantity would cost,
upon an average, $20, or two cents each,
in almost any" of our leading nurseries,
either in the Eastern or Western Slates.
These prices arc for leading forest trees,
which arc alike valuable for shade, tim
ber, and shelter. Some kinds can be
obtained much cheaper. For instance,
silver maple, sugar maple, ash leaved
maple, cot ton wood, honey locust, and
several other kinds are frequently offered
for less than $j it thousand, or one-half
cent each. There are also several kinds
of evergreens to lie had at equally cheap
rates while small. We find that Austrian
white pitch and Scotch pines, nine to
twelve inches high, are offered, by West
ern nurserymen at an average ol alout
one cent each, w hen 000 or more of a kind
arc taken. The various species of spruce
can be obtained at about the same rates.
Now, our farmers have only to look ahead
a lew years to see what an investment of
: in sneh small, ehean trees mav be
come with the addition of a little labor
in care and culture.
On the arrival of such trees as we have
described from the nursery, they should
be immediately unpacked, and unless the
we&ther and ground are both favoraoie lor
setting out, the roots should be puddled,
and the plants carehilly heeled in wnere
they may remain until preparations can
be made for final planting. The puddling,
as it is termed, which is nothing more
than dipping the roots in thin mud, mixed
up for the purpose, is quite an important
operation, as each fiber is coated with
earth, preventing injury from contact with
a dry atmosphere, w hile handlin g and pre
paring for, or during the lime of planting.
Young seedlings of the age and sizes un
der consideration should never be planted
directly in the situation where they are to
grow up into trees, but be put in nursery
rows and then cultivated for two, three, or
more years. The rows may be far enough
apart to admit of passing a plow or culti
vator between them, if this mode of culti
vation is referable to hoeing and hand
weeding. The plants may be set quite
close together in the rows, and if
likely to sutler for moisture during the
summer, the entire surface of the soil
should be covered with coarse hay, straw,
or other similar material which w ill keep
the ground moist. When the trees have
been growing in tlie nursery rows two
years or more, thinning out will be neces
sary, and this can be done by removing
every alternate one, or by removing two
or more standing close together, and leav
ing one.
The plants taken out may now be put in
rows, groups, or wherever trees are de
sired. By having such small nurseries
on one's own ground to draw upon when
ever specimens are wanted, a man can
transplant few. or many, choosing his own
time lor doing it, and with far less risk
than w hen obliged to accept and set out
those received from nurseries, whether tlie
weather be favorable or otherwise. If
those farmers who are In want of trees at
the present time, or expect to need them
in future, will adopt this plan of purchas
ing young stock, we are quite sure that
they can not only save money by the opera
tion, but avoid much of the risk generally
incurred in transplanting larger trees.

A Few Words to Feeble find Delicate

By R. V. PiebcB. M. D of the World's Dippen
parv, Buffalo. N. Y.. Author of ''The People s
Common Sense Medical Adviser," etc., etc.
Knowing that you tire subject to .a great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your
part has a strong tendency to prolong it, and
the longer it is neglected the more you have
to endure and the more dillicult of cure your
ease becomes, I, as a physician, who am
daily consulted by scores of your sex, desire
to say to you, that I am constantly meeting
with "those -who have been treated for their
nllments for months without being benefited
in the least, until tliey have become peifcct
lv discouraged and have almost made up
their mind never to take another dose of
medicine, or be tortured by any further
treatment. They had rather die and have
their sufferings ended than to live and suffer
as they have. They say they are worn out
by suffering, and are- only made worse by
treatment. Of anything more discouraging,
we certainly cannot conceive, and were there
no more successful mode ol treating such
difficulties than that, the principles of which
teach the reducing and depicting of the vital
forces of the system, when the indications
dictate a treatment directly the reverse of
the one adopted for them, their case would
be deplorable indeed. But, lady sufferers,
there is a better and far more successful
plan of treatment for you; one more in har
mony with the laws and requirements of
your system. A harsh, irritating caustic
treatment and strong medicines will never
cure you. If you would use rational means,
such as common-sense should dictate to
every intelligent lady, take such medicines
as embody the very best invigorating tonics
and nervines, compounded with special ref
erence to your delicate system. Such a hap
py combination you will find in my Favorite
Prescription, which has received the highest
fraise from thousands of your sex. Those
anguid, tiresome sensations, causing you to
feel scarcely able to be on your feet or as
cend a flight of stairs; that continual drain
that is sapping from your system all your
former elasticity, and driving the bloom from
your cheeks; that continual strain upon
your vital forces that renders- you irritable
and fretful may all be overcome ana sub
dued by a persevering use of that marvelous,
remedy. Irregularities and obstructions to
the proper working of your system are re
lieved by this mild and safe means, while
periodical pains, the existence of which is a
sure indication of serious disease that should
not be neglected, readily yield to it, and if
its use be kept up for a reasonable length of
time, the special cause of these pains is per
manently removed. Further light on these
subjects may be obtained from " The Peo
ple's Common Sense Medical Adviser," in
which 1 have devoted a large space to the
consideration of all forms of disease pecul
iar to your sex. This work will be sent

Tlie West has closely copied New
England in educational matters, and has
erected expensive school buildings and
made large appropriations for maintaining
them. But there ari manv complaints
against them. A Cincinnati paper char
acterizes the public schools as "excess
ively expensive and top-heavy." Another
paper says : " They ae becoming so top
heavy with efforts to make them what
they ought not to be that they are des
tined to tumble over, or rather, to tumble
back to the original standards and meth
od." A Chicago journal regards the
high-schools in" this way: "The free
high-school has given us lawyers, clerks,
bookkeepers and bankers instead of pro
ficient artisans. It has added to callings
that could be dispensed wiUi without
great detriment to the public, and taken
young men from occupations that are of
great use to the world. It is often said
that in our free school system 4 the rich
educate the poor;' but so far as most pu
pils in high-school3 are concerned the
Door educate the rich." X. Y. Tribune.
