Females and Famine.
Everybody knows what a fine figure
the poinarde of Paris makes in the an
nnls of the multitudinous French Revolu
tions. Everybody knows that when bread
was scarce and high in Paris aforesaid,
there was a mortal misunderstanding be
tweeu the fish-wives and the unhappy
bokers, whose shops were often invaded
by a truculent army in short peticoats,
which, without leave or license, or the
disbursement of a single sous carried
away the cosily loaves. The tendency of
history, under identical conditions, to re
peat itself, is somewhat curious. They
have a revolution in rebeld.im, and by
the latest advice we learn that they have
also bread-mobs of feminine constitution.
Thirty-one of the softer sex, under the
demoralizing influence of empty stom
achs, raised the other day in Richmond
the standard of private rebellion, and
havicg created "a tremendous bobbery,"
have all been man hed to a gloomy dun
geon, there 10 tell the sad .tale of an un
satifying appetite to unsympathyzing
walls of stone. In some respects these
ferocious dames are better off in prison
than out of it, since the Confederacy
will hardly condemn them to the fate of
Lzolino, but rnut, per torce, while so
much lovliness is locked up, keep it from
utterly wilting by moderate rations of
ru?iy pork and worm-drilled biscuit.
The gal!ant jailer dout.tleos warbles at
the door tit each cell: ' I give thee all
I tan no more, though poor the offering
be ; this lead and pork is all the store
that I t an bring to thee !" But notwith
standing this modest depreciation of his
supplies by the susceptible castodian, it is
clear that bread and pork and imprison
ment are better than no pork, no bread,
and the largest liberty. Hence it is
prolable that the next news from Rich
mond will tell us that the ladies, headed
by some extremely hungry Boadicea,
have taken the fails by as.-ault and under
gain of death, have compelled the reluc
tant tumkerys to lock them t.p, and to
receive them as unwelcome boarders.
Should these conjectures prove to be well
founded, the dungeons os Richmond will
be more attraenve thau the r iggest North
ern hotel under the rule of thmost geu
tlemanly proprietor;" and the magnates
of tRe ciiy will find it far easier to let the
ladies loose than to feed them ! 'Twill
be a very puzzling busniess.
Now, if u:ider these embarrassing
circumstances, we should be consulted by
the distracted Mayor of Richmond upon
the beat course to be pursued, we should
say at once: "Why does'nt your Worship
import a guillotine ? For we must say
that, heretofore, the Southern method of
dealing with the disaffected part has been
a little coarse and clumsy. You may, if
you have the heart and hand of a Man
Owner, clothe a woman in tar and feath
ers, but even that gallinaceous and adhe
sive covering will not, if she be worthy
of her sex, arrest the fleet delivery of her
tongue. Hanging is at best but slow
business. On the other hand, the guil
lotine, under the guidance of a skillful
operator, will slice you off twenty recu
sant heads in an hour; audit might by
the ajustment of some simple machinery
be worked by steam ; in which case there
would be hardly any limit to its powers
of decollation. A head thus neatly tak
en off will clamor no more for bread.
The life thus extinguished will be no
more an expensive charge upon an exi
gent commonwealth. The example thus
set will have a most salutary and silenc
ing influence upon the grumblers ; and
the boldest will dare no longer to let ap
petite get the better of patriotism. Why
should the ears of Jefferson Davis, living
as he does in a chronic botheration, be
distracted by the groans of grumblers?
Why should thirty-one ladies, no matter
how beautiful, no matter how accomplish
ed, no matter how voluable. be permitted
to disturb the august serenity and Olym
pian dignity of the Government, by ab
turd and untimely protests against such a
ittle matter as starvation ? Instead of
breaking the peace bo a vulvar riot, in
stead of vending their spleen upon bak
ers, why do they not show themselves to
be Roman Matrons and Maida of Sara
gossa? Instead of discouraging the stern
er sex, which is compelled to fight with
out fodder the most hopeless task which
can be imposed upon mortal why do
they not serve the jaded spirits of their
chivalrous delenders by serving up old
shoes in toothsome fricasees, or surprise
the weary warrior upon his return by
settingbefore him an exhilarating ragout
of horse-meat ? Would not this be far
ncbler than rifling the shops of the poor
bakers? And at the same time, we
must say, indeed for the ladies, that
there are very few laws left in Rich
mond to break. When the sages of the
Republic set an example ef high treason
why should not the petticoats have their
petty treason also? Mr. Dtvisarrd his
friends have raised a busy devil, whoe
activity may prove beyond control. But
those who inaugurate anarchy will find
despotism and terroism to be at last in
despesible. These, have indeed always
been the law of the plantation, and in
most essential respects this plantation has
given the law to politics and general so
ciety in the Southern States. Bat the
rebellion has transformed into public af
fairs the selfishness, the recklessness,
and the rainless passions of the Man
Owner he carries to the work of legis
lation and : government the same impa
tient hatred of restraint which has here
tofore made him the dominant devil of a
little, hell; and these are a!U intensi
fied in woman by feminine vehemence.
All l iitoty proves that with an aristocra
tic cbss of such a charaftet-, anything like
political serenity is impossible ; and no
countries have -been less fortunate than
l those which undtr republican form have
I been left at the mercj of a violent ar-d
factious robility. A people harrassed by
an outworn feudalism.; will naturally take
refuge in an aristocracy. Bui we can
assure the Richmmd ladies, if they will
but leave the bakerr for a wh le, anb lis
ten to u.-, that before the coronation of
their Dictator, they will be compelled to
suffer pangs far worse than those of hun
ger, to live long days and longer sleep
less nights amid feaiful alarms, to weep
for the murder of their sons and dishon
or uf their daughters. The arrival of
Gen. Hooker at Richmond should give
them the lovliest satisfaction, for the re
duction of that city may rescue them from
immediate want and woe otherwise pre
destinate. JV. Y. Tribune.
Buckwheat and Turnips.
A correspondent of ihe Germantown
Telegraph says: "One of riiy neighbors
has ju?t drawn my attention to an exper
iment he made the past season with buck-
Wheat, and O. Which Xperiment I com -
mun caie the result, as given in his own
words. On a pi-ce of soil sowed in rut
abagas, the drills being twenty-four inch
es apart, he sowed, after wecdiug and
transplanting,, in in trmediate lines of
buckwheat, and covered thm by hand
and with a cmimou hoe. Hr; bestowed
j no afier cultivation, and gathered at har
vest, at the rate of for:y bushels to the
acre of as fi'ie and persectly developed
grain as I hive ever sen and without
auy apparent injury to the turnip crop,
which was equally luxuriant and produc
tive as that grovvn by it.-elf on au adjoin
ing half acre of similar soil." Such ex
periment are valuable, as tending to de
velop the actual capacities of the soil
when subiecttd to new demands under
new systems of culture.
TIic best Farm Team.
Considtrulle discussion ha been had
in regard to the comparative merits of
cr
hor.-es and oxen for farm work. Such
discussions have resulted in establishing
a few maxims, which may be safefy re
lied upon as a guide to those who are in
terested. Tiiy are ihese :
, Oxen are cood and so are horses; but
iruch d.-pends upon circumstances as to
their pr-.ritable use. In certain cases,
each is best.
It is unprofitable tikkeep horses simply
for riding, when they are obliged to re
main idle (inich of the tune; and keep
oxen for doing the work of the farm.
On a new or rough farm, oxen are the
best team: on a small and easily worked
farm, horses are the bet.
If a farm is situated that much of the
hauling is done at long distances, such
as carting hay. dressing or wood, horses
can be used with more profit than oxen.
If the size of the farm renders it ex
pedient for the farmer lo Keep-two teams,
one horse team and an ox team is better
than two of eiti.er horses or oxen.
It pays well to feed and take good cate
of a team, be it of horses or of oxen.
A team kept in good condition will eat
less lhan one kept poor, at the, same time
performing more work and being better
in every respect. JIuinc Farmer.
The Seven Cities of Asia.
The following is an account of the
present condition of the Seven Cities,
.showing how accurately the threatening
in Revelation have been accomplished:
Ayaaialook, the . modern village hai
stands on the site of ancieut E-.ihesus, is
a miserable collection of hovels, having
neither place nor name among the im
portant towns of Asia Minor. The fate
of the cities of tha seven churches have
been peculiarly melancholy. Smyrna
ha3 risen in modern times to be an im
portant seaport town, and has, indeed,
throughout the last eighteen centuries,
and perhaps it might be said for twenty
five hundred years preserved a rertain
importance in the Eastern world. Per
gamos and Tliyatira are small inland
cities of no imporuince in the world ; and
although inhabited by people who go to
make up the number of the Sultan's sub
ject and pay his taxes, are never heard
of in modern history, scarcely indeed in
modem travel. Laodicea is a wild waste
of ruin, inhibited only by the wolf, the
stork, and the vjlture. Philadelphia,
like Pergamos. is a filthy Turkish town,
j : i 1 ... . j
tiuieu iu uiuueiu tones uuu us niniieUiiie
neighborhood for ihe total absence of i
brothejly love, and the lrequent occur
rence ot brawls and bloodshed. Sardis
lies buried on the. banks of the golden
Pactnlus. In a moonlight night the two
lonesome columns of the temple of Cybele
stand ghostly on the plain, sole relics of
the ancient idolatry; but of the few jhat
remained faithful, with unstained gar
ments, in Sardis, there remiin-s no mem
orial on earth, save only that ever-present
promise, by virtue of which they
shall walk in whir.e robes:
Incidents oftlic late Battles.
After the disgraceful flight of the
Eleventh Army Corps iu the battle of
Saturday last, Gea Hooker, it is known,
sent orders to General Berry's division
directing them to check the advance of
the rehels in that direction. How gall
antly this was done has been already re
corded incur columns. Among the. brig
ades comprising this division, the Third,
consitting of troops from New Jersey
and commanded by the gallant Gen.
Mott, particulaily distingushed, itself.
Entering the battle with less than 1.500
men, Gen. JMott (who was himself se
verely wounded almost immediately aftrr
the fall OJ-Gen. Berry had devolved on j
eim the command of 'he division) 1 )st i
r i- i u., ..4 . . ,i ii ) ,
from his iiugle brigade six officers killed
and forty WOUtldcd, while Ot" his men 427 j

had been abandoned because-the horses
were all killed, together with most of the
cannoneers by whom it had been served
i in the action, This record speaks for
itself. Gen. Hooker, it is said, awards
to Gen. Berry's division (which had
formerly been his own) the honor of
saving the Army of the Potomac, whose
safely had been endangered by the craven
conduct of the German troops.
