Such a spectacle as no other conti
nent ever saw, as this continent will
never see again, ended yesterday. The
great armies that have saved the Union
passed up Pennsylvania Avenue, out of
mortal sight and into everlasting histo
ry. Henceforth they exist only in name.
The Armj of the Totoraac, the Army of
the Tennessee, the Armj of Georgia
they aro names to conjure with forever,
but the terrible forco of them in battle
has been wielded for four years only to
vanish in a day, and to leave behind
them results greater than themselves.
Such a pageant as yesterday and the
day before witnessed is an event that
has to search wide for precedent or
parallel. From the times of Napoleon,
when cne or two spectacles probably
t q-ialled this in mere numbers, there is
nothing to help the flight oi the imagin
ation till far back in ancient history
where we may fancy the myriads of Da
rius passing in review before the tragedy
of Arbela had piled the persian host in
lietacombs on the plain which their Mac
edonian couquerers trod. I5ut the great
armies of old history, of Darius or of
Xerxes are shadows, while the great ar
mies of to-day are living and breathing
men. Those were tho slavish instru
ments of tyranny and ambition; these
are the right hands of a Nation etrus
;ling for its own life and the immortali
ty of the Republic.
And these armies of ours passed in
review before no . ordinary spectators.
The armies themselves what are they?
The Two Hundred Thousand Men who
tramped with feet of flesh and blood by
the White House who are they but the
sad survivors of (successive armies of
dead Heroes whose earlier fate Rave life
to their remaining comrades and to the
Republic? Past what do they file in
quick procession Tuesday and Wednes
day of this week and this memorable
year? Past a tenantless White House
from which has gone oat the dead corse
of him who had earned the right to view
this triumphal march ! We know not on
which to think most sorrowfully the
emptiness of the President's Mansion or
the thinness of those soldier-ranks, where
every lifing man 6eem3 to be accompa
nied"by innumerable shadows of depart
ed patriot warriors. Illustrious dead are
they all more illustrious than any living
possessed ef a more sacred and endur
ing fame than any who yet tread this
whirling globe.
Nor is the mind carried backward only
in its survey of this miraculous precess
ion. Wc think of thoso who look on, as
well as of those who pais by. There
stands the Treiident whose hands are
uplifted by these thronging thousands
and who Eecs in them the visible support
of his Government. There is the great
commander whose all-embracing genius
has saved the'Nation. There are the re
presentatives of the Executive, Legisla
tive, Judicial Departments each one
thankful to the army that has a de
partment to administer. Thero are the
diplomatic representatives of the great
Powers of Christendom gazing with
earnest eyes on this demonstration of the
greatest power of all ; conscious that no
European sovereignty could match this
marvelous demonstration of Democratic
supremacy. And there whether far or
near, whether from the steps of the
White House or from the prairies of the
West, or the shores of the Atlantic, or
the summits of the mountains that di
vide a continent there is the American
people looking reverently, admiringly,
affectionately on this march of their
brothers through their capital, and like
them inspired, uplifted, and strengthen
ed by the occasion. No need to draw a
lesson from it still less to applaud those
who make part of it. We but echo the
cry of the army and the People into
whom the army will in a moment melt,
Live the Republic ona and indivisible
forever! .V. I'. Trcbune.

We won't guarantee that the soldiers,

that if there is a more cowardly, low

We are told that a Duke of Tuscany
wa the first possessor cf a pretty shrub
of Europe, and he was so jealously
fearful lest others should enjoy what he
aloiie wished to possess, that strict in
structions were given to his gardner not
to ivei slip, not so much as a single
flower, to any person. To this com
mand the gardner would have been
faithful, had not love wounded hnn by
the sparkling eyes of a fair but por
tionless peasant, whose want of a dow
ry and his poverty alone kept them
from the hymenial altar. On the
birthday of his mistress he presented
her with a nosegay, and to render it
more acceptable, ornamented it with a
jasmine. The "povera figlia,' wish
ing to preserve tho bloom of this "new
flower," put it into the earth, and the
branch remained green all the year.
In '.he following spring it grew and was
covered with flowers. It nourished and
multiplied' so much under the fair
nymph's cultivation that she was able
to amass a little fortune from the sale
of the precious gift which love haJ
made her, when, with a sprig of jessa
mine in her breast, she gave her hand
and wealth to the hnppy gardner of
her heart.

There are some people who may be
classed as the indomitable. Difficul
ties never daunt them, they are sure to
go ahead. Among these we would
class a country dame, of whom we
rej'.d in the newspapers. Here is the
story : "She was preparing to start
to market with her rural productions,
when she found the was short one egg
of two dozen. In vain she ransacked
tho nests and hunted about for n stray
one to make up the desired number
It could not be found, but observing a
hen sitting on a box. she clapped a
basket ever Biddy, and placing the
fowl thu3 secured in the wa;on. started
on h?r way. On arriving at the mar
ket she found her calculations had been
correct Biddy had laid an egg. which
just made up the dozen." Now, this
farmer's wife, we will wager a big ap
ple to a pin's head, had a resource in
every emergency, and if she has a do
zen sons, they will all be successful in
life.

Why is it that in ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred those women who
hive been brought up chiefly amongst
men, who have had no sisters, who
have lost a mother in early life, (doubt
less for many reasons a sad ntiliction
f a girl) who have been dependent on
fathers or brothers for society and con
versation, should turn out the most fas
cinating and superior of their sex ?
Why is it that in nine hundred and
ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, the
boy who is educated solely by his moth,
e-r, becomes a triumphant and success
ful man in after life ? Perhaps the
opposite influence of either sex is ben
eficial to the other; perhaps the girl
derives vigorous thoughts, expanded
views, habits of reflection nay, more,
charity and forbearance, from her
male associates, as the bey is indebted
to his Mother's tuition and companion
ship fo'r the gentleness and purity of
heart which conibiu'e so well with i

so adorn true courage; above all, for
that exalted standard of womankind
which ,bhall prove his surest safeguard
from shame and defeat in the coming

it is bright, but which, when once soil

Pumpkins, or what our English
friends over the water, have gone to
cultivating with such zest under the
more euphonious title af "Cattle Mel
on," may be easily grown, in. large
quantities, among corn. In the eas
tern States, the usual practice is to mix
a certain amount of the seeds with the
corn, and as the dropping is done by
hand, they cause no inconvenience on
account of their different size and form.
A pumpkin seed in every fourth or
fifth hill is deemed sufficient when the
hills of corn are planted at about three
feet a part. In order, to get a more
regular distribution of the pumpkin
seed, many prefer to "stick" theui sep
arately, which means, simply, to go
over the field, and at proper distances
force the seeds, by the fingers, into the
soil. This is also done when planting
machines are used to put in the
corn.
Pumpkins form a fine feed for stock.
Beeves are fattened very rapidly on
them, fed in connection with other feed.
They are good for milch cows, ns the
grass fails in the fall. Boiled and fed
to swine, they also answer a good pur
pose. We are confident that our far
mers could devote a portion of their
large fields to this crop to good ad van
tage. It will in no wise interfere with
the cultivation of the corn, or diminish
its yield in the least.
The common white bean can also be
grown among corn to good advantage.
Of course, so great an amount per acre
cannot be harvested as though they
were planted separately, Dut still a suf
ficient quantity to very much more than
pay for the culture of the two crops
can be obtained. They have brought
a good price since the war commenced
and the demand must continue quite
large for a year or two more at least.
They require considerable care at har
vest time, in order to keep them bright,
but the process id simple, and well un
derstood by most farmers.
Turnips, in large quantities, can be
grown among corn. Sow them broad
cast late in the season. They consti
tute excellent feed for sheep and most
other -stock.
Our farmers can raise a good sup
ply of these thsee crops without devo
ting any extra land to their use, and
with but very little extra labor or ex
pense over cultivating the simple crop
of corn. Persons owning small farni3,
and wishing to grow the most possible,
will see the benefit of this double crop

KSA sheep has eight front fe cth,
and when one year old they shed the
two middle teeth, and within six
months from the time of shedding their
places are filled with two wider than
the first at two years the next two are
shed, and in six month their places are
filled with two wide teeth; at three
years the two third teeth from the cen
tre are hed and their places filled with
two wide teeth, and at four years tho
corner teeth are shed, and by the time
the sheep is five years old the teeth
will have grown out even, and will have
a full mouth of , teeth, after that the
teeth will begin to grow round and long,
and at n:ne or ten they begin to shed,
and then it is time to fatten them for
the butcher, and let the young sheep
take their places.

SHOULD TOBACCO II E GROW
E. M. McGray, Plymouth, Wiscon
sin, is severely exercise in the mind,
that intelligent men, like those compos
ing this Club, should spend so much
time in discussing the cultivation of
tobacco and hops, and the manafacturo
cf wine. He thinks " it the duty of all
good citizens to discourage the cuhiva
tion or manufacture of articles which
add nothing to the physical, moral or
spiritual development of the human
race." Then we must totaly destroy
the manufacture of gunpowder, arms,
accoutrements, and the information cf
armies, and, perhaps, some one would
say we should discourage the produc
tion of all drugs as prejudicial to the
development of the physical nature.
Others object to luxuries of living, in
cluding those of food, lodging and
apparel. It is very difficult to draw
the line. The wrirer of these reports
personally hates tobacco, and wishes it
were obliterated from the earth, yet he
does not think it his duty to arm him
self for a crusade against its cultiva
tion. No man can be more opposed to
drunkennes, yet no man is a more ear
nest advocate of grape culture ; and
although he is not a drinker of lager
beer, he is willing to tell farmers how
to grow hops. V. Y. Tribune.
A Gigantic Tree. Some of the
Brazillian journals tell astounding sto
ries of a wonderful tree they say has
lately been met with in South Ameri
ca, and which, if their accounts are to
be relied on, must be indeed something
remarkable. The discovery is said to
have been made by a German natu
ralist, who says that the tree in ques
tion, which grows on the banks of the
Rio Branco, a tributary of the Amazon,
belongs to the Malvaceous order, and
that its branches form a canopy of
verdure of sufficient extent to shelter
10,000 men. A gigantic bird, the ton
onydon, "another wonder of the basin
of the Amazon," perches itself on the
branches of this tree, far beyond the
reach of the Indian's arrow or the rifle
which forms the weapon of the more
civilized men. It is added that the
tree is called by the Brazilians Souina,
and that it is very common upon river
banks in the country of the Upper Am
azon, where an equatorial temperature
prevails.
(J5rSame people think our govern
ment has caught aa elephant in tho
shape of Jeff Davis, and will hardly
know what to do with him. Thero aro
two ways of disposing of him. Saying
nothing of tho question of treason, it is
believed that JefF was an instigator of
the assassination of President Lincoln.
If this fact can be established he will bo
hung. The deliberate starvation and
murder of Union prisoners is also a fear
ful charge to which he should bo made to
answer, and if proved guilty he should
suffer death.
If, however, it may not be thought
best to execute him, we suggest that it
would be well to attire him in woman's
dress, and transport him in his chosen
costume to England or France. His
friends in these countries who hold Con
federate bends would doubtless be glaj
to see him, and if he has enemies there,
his npparent sex would doubtless appeal

C"A day in the moon, according to
an English astronomer, is equal to four
teen days upon earth, The day begins
with a slow sunshine, followed by a
brilliant sunshine and intense heat, about
212 degrees Fahrenhiet. The sky is in
tensely black, there being no atmosphere
like ours, to which blue sky is due; the
stars are visible, and tho horizon is lim
ited. There is dead silence. The cold
in the intensely black shadow is very
great, and thero is no atrial perspective.
.Thus the moon is no place for a man or
any animals or vegetables that we know
of. Tho nightsof the moon, fourteen
of our nights, begin with a slow sunset,
which i3 followed by intenso cold, 334
degrees below zero.
fiThe housewife who would bake
her bread or biscuit without a dry, hard
crust can do so very readily. Just be
fore placing the bread in the oven, she has
only to rub its surface with butter or lard.
This will close the pores, prevent tto es
cape of the gas which is produced by the
yeast, and the escape of the steam which
19 produced by the moisture of the heat
ed loaf. Bread if thus baked will be
a'most crustless.
