AN ABSENT-MINDED JUDGE.
Quite an amusing adventure befell Judge
Van Buren on Saturday evenijg, which crea
ted no small amount of merriment among his
friends. The Judge, it appears, had ordered
a new pair of boots from a shoemaker on
State street ; and be went over on Saturday to
put them on. The shoemaker put up the old
boots in a brown paper parcel and his honor
walked away with his parcel in his hand, the
new boots on his feet. Coming to a huckster
stand opposite the post-office, he spied a pair
of fine fat chickens, which he thought would
make an excellent Sunday dinner. He bought
them, and the store-keeper put them up in a
brown paper parcel. The Judge, rather heavy
laden, proceeded homewards with the 014
boots in one hand and the chickens in the otAt- er. "After all," thought he, "the old boots
are of no use to me anyhow. I may as/well
give them to some poor man and relle7ie my
self. It will be doing a charity to both par
ties.' At the corner of the'street,ite encoun
tered a colored man.

"Here, friend," said the Judge,handing him
a brown paper parcel, "there's a present for
you, and I hope they'll
Thank you, sir," said the astonished shade,
"I'm sure they will" And he went on his
way rejoicing. „,
The Judge also /went on his way, glad at
heart. He met gime friends at the door of
Mr. Jordan, the'undertaker, on Clark street.

/ "Chickens ?" exclaimed Mr. Jordan, "why
they look mighty like a pair of very old boots.
I shouldn't like to have them chickens in my

The Judge took off his hat, and scratched
his head. "Why hang me if I haven't give
that darkie the chickens after all. Well, I'm
a pair of boots ahead, and a pair of chickens
short."—Chicago Tribune.
"DO:' 4 l'T SAY 'No,' EASY. " — How 18 it you
never go with bad boys, or get into any bad
scrapes ?" asked a little fellow of his play
mate.
"Oh," said the other, "that is because I
don't say 'no,' easy."
We thank the boy for his secret. It is worth
a great deal more than a bag of money. I
have no doubt saying no as if you did not
mean it, has ruined, many a child. When a
bad boy or girl tries to coax you to do a
wrong thing, say "no," as if you meant "no,"
and no mistake. 1
When Satan whispers for you to serve him
and do wrong, and make you great promises,
as be did'to the Lord Jesus in the wilderness,
do not say "no," easy, tut answer him as ,Je
stis did: - "Get thee behind me, Satan." That
is a "no" he can understand.
"Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men."
Almoners or Husts.—An amusing anec
dote is told of Dr. Robinson, of Scotland, who,
with a ready wit, drew an Illustration from a
mid:et:we of David Hume to point an argu
ment, It was as follows :
The celebrated M. Hume wrote an essay on
the sufficiency of nature ; and the no less cele
brated Dr. Roberta= on the sufficiency of
Revelation, and the insufficiency of the light
of nature. Hume came one evening to visit
Robertson, and the evening was spent on the
'Subject. The friends of both were present,
and it is said that Robertson reasoned with
sem:stoned clearness and power. Whether
Hone was convinced by his refaoning or not
we cannot tell; but,at any rate he did not so

THE LITTLE BII9OIE.

EDWARD xePEnessorr,
CLERK OF THE 11. 8. HOUSE OF ,EFXRE
SENTATIVEB.
It is a prime fault of our American civilize
tion arising from its newness that, outside of
New England, an American ion aspire to
eminence only through political pursuits.—
America has little learning and few scholars,
for the simple reason that, she does not yet pay
sufficient honors to learning and scholarship.
The American brain isoinferior to the European
in nothing save that,it is not so well direct
ed. In England aid on the continent, civil
ization constantlY brings upon the surface
Carlyles, Collains and swarm of liter
ary and scisptific men who wield a powerful
influence ofr society without collecting it
through political channels. In this country
there is& dearth of great minds outside of poli
tics. ,We do not lack statesmen of the most
comprehensive character. Take away a few
great names abroad, who tower above their
fellows in statesmanship, and the foreigners
are immeasurably inferior. to ourselves as
liberal-minded politicians. But our era for
scholars has not yet tome. Formerly, we
complained that we needed wealth for more
thorough education; now, we do not so much
lack wealth as that aristocratic direction of
wealth which in Europe makes a class at lei
sure and produces scholars. As yet we seem
to be able to support no class at leisure but
gamblers. The scholar has not obtained a
status in our civilization. To be known here
to the people a man must be a,worker as well
as a thinker—or rather, he must think as he
works. Pure intellectual speculation is at a
discount. At best, an American can expect
to obtain scarcely more than the ordinary ac
ademic education, before he is forced into the
world of strife to buffet the waves of fortune
as he can. Onr society is almost purely prac
tical, and as it offers almost no inducement to
the pursuits of letters, of art, or of taste, poli
tics becomes the best stepping-stone to distinc
tion, and ambition for distinction must ordi
narily satisfy itself here with politics. The
politician is the man whom Americans delig
to honor. Success as a politician in the y.•
ted Stater confers the honors and the influence
which the various distinctions confer / fn Eu
rope.
To rise here in the estimation of/his coun
trymen the citizen finds politica his best pro
vince for action, since it embraces the only
field in which, on a grand Beide, intellectual
and practical labor may be combined. And it
is this which for success pleases the genius of
our civilization.
It thus happens at, present, that whatever
other qualities a mutts may possess, only as a
politician, worlslOg earnestly for the good of
his country, he/ becomes the representative
American citizen. Such a man is EDWARD
McPfulaso Clerk of the United States House
of Repreagistatiiea Possessing refined schol
arly tastes, but without talents which assume
to be moretlian they are, and without an over
weening or selfish ambition, Mr. McPmEssos
has become more thoroughly identified than
any other man of his age with the workings
of recent American politics. Acting with the
great Liberal party of the country, and serv
ing it in the capacity of Clerk to the National
Representative Assembly, perhaps no man has
become so thoroughly infused with the knowl
edge and spirit of its principles. Take him a
broad, where alone the experiment is of ini
portimce, and Mr. McPaxasosr would be to
day the truest exponent of our Republican
politics. His executive cast of mind and
character, and his official relation with the
whole body of popular representativei, would
make him perhaps more representative than
any of them, of our political facts in contradis
tinction to our political theories. Such men
as STEVENS, KELLY, SCOFIELD and ASHLEY
are is a few theories more radical than their
party. BICGIIAM, SPAHLDLCG and BANKS are
something more conservative. But liberal as
he is to all the speculations of his friends, Mr.
McPrlzasos works as an individual and as an
officer within the broad limits of the party or
ganization. He neither strikes you as being
too narrow or too broad for the Republican
creed, but as truly a representative man. Out
side of his official position he is an indefatiga
ble worker, and has done the country most es
sential and important service. His "Histoky
of the Rebellion," finished almost with the
_
close of the war, and compiled from the most
authentic of official documents, will remain
for the future the completest record of that
most eventful period of our nation. His two
political pamphlets, volumes in matter and
size, for the years 1866 and 1867, are invalua
ble records in these times, not only to every
political worker, but to every Americah citi
zen who desires a proper acquaintance with
our legislation since the war. These volumes
are compiled from every possible source of in
terest—from the press ; from the enactments
of Congress; from the.resolutions of conven
tions; from the decisions of the Supreme
Court ; from the speechesof the Executive.—
They present through the discriminating judg
ment of their author the completest journal of
the country's life for the past five years and
the strongest argument in support of Repub
blican principles which it is possible to pre
sent to an intelligent
,public. The labor re
quired for the preparation of these volumes is
one such as any man with a less clear insight
of the public necessity or with a lees deter
mined energy and industry than Mr. idoPnxe
eon's, would shrink from.
These documents are sold and distributed by
thousands tirreughout the entire country, and
in their influence fbr the spreading of truth
and correct opinion among the people are
worth a lsgloti of orators. Beyond the special
object of preparing these political pamphlets
Mr. McPronum constantly, lays under contri:
bution the *es" of the entire country for such
articles as may, for any purpose, at any period,
serve to throw light upon the history of the
times.
In this manner he has gained and is gaining
for the future such 's compendious expreirsion
otpnblic opinion as perhaps will be vainly
sought ebrwhere. ' In fine, by the mere force
Of systematic industry, no man is to-day serv
ing the 'Republican organization with such
happy success. This industry Is the more ad
mirable from the fact that it gives itself scarce
an interval oflreirt. From the first aßilliioll
of the Thirty-seventhCong*:ta which Mr.

of our State ; but so long as the House retains
its present elements of organization Mr. Mc-
Pusasos's fitness and claims'fir the position
he now holds !ill not want acknowledgement.
But this consideration is of little importance
while the nation is so quick to recognize the
labors of those who best serve it.
Asa man Mr. DfcPaEasos is a thorough
Democrat in conduct and disposition. Frank
and affable with all, he lacks by nomeans dig
nity and decision of personal character.—
Withal he is a true type of the American gen
tleman.
His mind is perhaps more distinguished by
clearness and power of execution than by ori
ginality of conception—more by its breadth
than by its depth of comprehension. But his
capacity for work and his faithfulness to the
public interests will lead him to accomplish
far more than many who assume to possess
more original endowments.
In person Mr. McPuxusos is slightly made,
and a little above the medium height. Ilia
temperament is the nervous sanguine., T z lie
clear precision of his features gives his face a
cast almost classical. The large steady 'blue
eyes which light the expression, give you at

Pnori.arry.—ln New York city, recently
a man was fined ten dollars for using twenty
oaths, the law in that State assessing the ut
terance of an oath at fifty cents. The profan
ity of the people of the United States is of k
milder type than forterly, but still it is an
American peculiarity to back up a statement by
language which "savors more of strength than
righteousness," as a deceased clergyman once
mildly described words unfit for polite ears.—
An exchange.suggests that if the lawttnaking
swearing a' finable offence were nforced
throughout the whole country, we might im
prove th'e morals of the community and pay
off the national debt in a very short time.
Tax JEWISH New YEa.n.—On Sunday eve
ning commenced the Jewish holidays which
Israelites consider the most important of all
their religious festivals, and they have quite a
goodly number of them. Their new year
5628 began with the setting of the sun on the
evening of the 29th. On Rosh Haehana
(New Year), according to Jewish tradition,
the Creator decides who is to live, who to die,
during the year, and the orthodox synagogues
had a direct reference to this belief. In some
Jewish palaces of worship the men wear
shrouds, but this custom has been abandoned
by several congregations, where innovation
and religious reform are making rapid prog
ress.
SHAM' : Under this head the. West Chester
Republican publishes the following : 'A hotel
keeper in Lancaster county, was 'taken inand
done for,' a few days since, in the following
manner : Two countrymen took lodging at
his place, and fared sumptuously, drinking
three bottles of wine daily. The last day, and
before they had settled their 'bill, dispute a
rose about the speed of their horses. They at
last settled upon a race, and appointed the
landlord judge. When they were ready, the
judge, like those of the Olympian games, gave
the word—one, two, three, and go. Away
they went, and have neither been seen nor
heard of since. No doubt they are running at
this moment (S bill in some other place,) leav
ing this landlord fully compensated by having
'the honor of behig judge."
GIVING THZ DEVIL EMS DEE. —There is a
point in the following anecdote : A pastor
was making a call upon an old lady, who made
it a habitual rule never to speak ill of anothei ,
and had observed it so closely that she always
justified those whom she had heard evil spoken
of. Before the old lady made her appearance
in the parlor, her several children were speak
ing this peculiarity of their mother, and one
of them playfully added : "other has such a
habit of speaking veil of everybody, that I
believe if Satan himself were the subject of
conversation, mother would find out some vir
tue or good quality even in him." Of course
this remark elicited some smiling and merri
ment at the originality of the idea, in the midst
of which the old lady entered the room, and
on being told what had just been said, she
immediately and involuntarily replied : "Well,
my children, I wish we all had Satan's in
dustry and perseverance."
Tam record of the repeated and continual
outrages upon the freed people in Kentucky,
is one of utter horror and shame. Nearly
five hundred victims to Rebel hate and blood
thirstiness have been reported within one
year, the names, dates, and details, on file in
the offices of the Freedmen's Bureau, giving
fieoof that these charges are not vague accu
sations. Men have been beaten, shot,
drowned, and disemboweled—women have
been scourged, outraged, and murdered, and
a band of "Regalaton," countenanced by lo
cal authority, and defying that of the State,
threaten the life of every negro or radical
whom they may choose for a victim.
Tunax is a curious story in"• Houston, Tex
as, of an indigent individual who kicked the
cover off the coffin the other day, as they
were on the way to the { 'dismal grave." It
seems that he was foolish enough to suppose
that he wasn't quite dead, and hence the ca
tastrophe. After some dispute with the pall
bearers, whether he was in his "right sense
and mind," he was brought back and put to
bed, with a fair chance of recovery.
IN consequence of alleged bad manage
ment of the affairs of the Antietam Cemetery,
Gov. Fenton, of New York, feels jt*ifed in
refusing to pay over the entire appropriation
made by the Legislature of that State until a
special commission shall have presented a
satbdaCtory report upon the past and present
management. Gov. Geary has also appointed
a special commission for a like purpose.
SE sAxon Prelinghuysen, 111 a speech at
Newark on Wednesday evening, in
_speaking
of the public debt, said that this generation
ought never to attempt to ply a dollar of the
principal of it. The net generation will be
arger in number:and in wealth, and a burden
that would lreak the back of one man can be
borne easily by two.

course will bring the most profit, for products
which command the highest prices are thus
largely increased.
itoubtleiis most farmers will assent to the
assertion that the wheat crop needs manure
as much a 4 any other one, and pays as well
for its liberal application. But the profits of
this operation may be greatly varied by the
manner in !which it is done. Plowing in ma
nure deepif will not give as gixxl results* as
placing it oin, or just under the surface. It is
less labor !for the farmer to plow in the ma
nure, ibr is easier to haul it on a hard sur
face than oiler freshly plowed ground. And
then it is out of the way of the harrow and the
drill ; but when buried deep it does not nour
ish the youhg plant in its first growth, and
impart to iti strength and size to endure the
approaching winter. Nor does it mulch the
surface and protect the tender plants from heav
ing frost and blighting winds. The rains in
their descent wash the soluble elements dcmit•
wards and sway from the searching roots.—
Surface is s uring reverse these processes, and
is more ra onal and productive of more im
mediate an visible results.
Well ferMented farm-yard manure is good
enough for riny crop, and the best manure for
all, but the trouble is we can't get enough of
it. Whethfr the wheat grower can afford to
purchase and grow fertilizers' is a question
which he must settle by experiment and ob
servation . Lime may often be used with
great profit 1; plaster is beneficial in some sea
sons, and salt returns a liberal profit if sown
rica lands in humus. Fertilisers for the
wheat plant! should be applied before the seed
has germin*ed, as a general rule, at least be
fore the spring begins. The preferable time
is just before sewing.—Rural New Yorker.
The report of the Agricultural Department
for the months of August and September has
been issue :I and shows that the expectations
of large crops have been fulfilled. The wheat
growing States report the following percent
age for inc ease over the crop of 1860 ; Ohio,

Wisconsin, 17 ; Minnesota, 25 ; Illinois, ;I'l ;

Virginia, 6b ; Virginia, 50 ; Tennessee, 40 ;
Georgia; 80 ; Arkansas, 45 ; New Yolk, 100
and PensuOvania, Awhile only Kamm and -
Texas showla falling off from last year, when
the crops in!those States were very large.
The prospects for a heavy yield of corn con
tinue to improve. While a number of States
return low estimates, others, particularly the
Southern States, show a marked improvement
over the yield of last year. Georgia promi
ses to dOuble her crop of 1865 ; Alabama re
ports an increase of 75 per cent. ;
SO ; Tenneisee, 21 ; Louisiana, 40; South
Carolina, 54, and Arkansas, 100. , Ohio falls
30 per cent. behind last year, estimating from
the conditiot on Sept. 1; Indiana, 17; Illi
nois, 14; Kentucky, 28 ; West Pugin* 15,
and Virginia 10.
Buckwheat, rye, barley, and oats, show an
increase ,over the harvests of 1866, though the
oats were injured in some sections by wet
weather. The average yield of hay has been
25 to 30 per cent. larger, Pennsylvania, re
turning an !increase of 50 per cent. ; New
York, 24 ; raligats, Wisconsin, and Illinois,
27 ; Indiana,; 26.
Potatoes are rotting badly In some or the
