/4R Woluatm. CARLISLE, PA., a«nd»| ■•ralnfff Hareh 4. 1111. OVB CORRUPT LEGMUTURE. From two of our Radical exchanges we copy the following comments con cerning our beautiful Legislature: •• Last year there wan paid mu for LpßtHlaltve •xpeoxes nearly ono hundred ihnatanj dollar* more than was appropriated—precisely how. or by what authority, w# presume Is past finding out.”—iVtiburff Cbmmarcin/. “We Intend no reflection unon the members of preceding ./eglslalU'e* lu saying that the pre sent Legislature of Pennsylvania Js the most corrupt one which has everdtsgrnced that Htate. and taut Is saving a good deni. Kven the Radi • eal papers complain Hint mo't of the time la ta ken up In private Jobs. The • Ring' do a large and profitable business. Everything Is reduced to dollars and cents,”—.Ynr Haven ) Jieg liter. A week or so ago a proposition was submitted iu the House to increase the members pay to $1,500. At present it is $l,OOO for the session. This motion was seriously entertained and debated for several hours, and no doubt would have been adopted ha. not the mem bers been afraid that their indignant constituents would have lynched them on their return home. But, impudent and outrageous as this proposition was, it would be well to adopt it, provided a different class of men—men of integrity and honor—could be induced to accept seats in the Legislature. The $66,500 ad ditional pay for members and Senators would be a “ drop in the bucket” com pared with the wholesale robberies that are now practiced. Formerly, when men of character were members of our State Legislature, their pay was $3OO for the session. Now. when a very low order of men occupy the same seats (we speak of the majority,) their salary is $l,OOO, and some of them clamor for $1,500. It would be economy to pay double the present salary, provided honest men can be selected for members of Assembly. But an increase of salary is not necessary. The present pay is sufficient, even for men of in tegrity, and entirely too much for the majority in the present Legislature. The fault is with the people themselves, in not exercising more care in the se lection of their public servants. Let good men ef both parlies look to their interests, and swear in their hearts that •orrupt men and drunkards shall no longer occupy places intended only for men of character and integrity. COS«BL.SHII«X MENAHn.v Menard, the Louisiana negro, who claimed a seat in Congress, not because he was elected to it, but because he held the certificate of election from the car pet bag Governor, was permitted toad dress the House in his own behalf on Saturday last. After utteringafew un leliigible remarks against the other contestant, (Mr. Hunt, white man,) he asked that the remainder of his “speech” be printed in the Globe (the official pa per) which was allow* d. After this Mr. Dawes, (who regarded the whole exhibition a disgraceful farce,) moved that the subject be laid on the table.— This was agreed to, and the Hon Me nard retired in disgust. To .reconcile him to his sad disappointment, howev er, a resolution was offered allowing Menard to draw from the people's trea sury $2,500 “ for the time he spent” in trying to get into Congress. The reso lution was adopted. “ Mr. Menard,” grinning like a monkey, proceeded to the Treasury, presented his draft, drew the $2,500 that had been presented him by the House, and at once left for Lou isiana. Lucky nigger, is Menard. Pay your taxes, white men—" the coming man” to use Sumner’s words, “ must be cared for and protected." J@“That measure of infamy, the Met ropolitan Police bill, which was inten ded to strip Mayor Fox, of Philadel phia, of all patronage and control in municipal affairs, was called up in the State Senate on Friday, and defeated by a very decisive vote. Senators Fisher, Lowry, Osterhout, Robison, Stutzman and Taylor voted with the Democrats against it, making the result stand aye* 11 and nays 20. Before the vote was taken, Mr. Fish er, (Republican) said : ■’l l ’* Speaker, the psrt.r Itth hn« no terrors for me when u 1r rained in ihe cause of outrage and wrong. Whenever n proper par* ty measure ww presented he would rui port it Persons might invade bln chamber and threaten to murder him If he in ted contrary to their wishes, but he would do right ilr Lowrv. (Republican, said he would vote no because he had been requested to do so b> the best Republicans in Philadelphia, 'ihe measure was asked for by the rogues and thieves of the Republican party. This measure, which is thus denounc ed by leading Republican Senators, was the pet child of Forney’s Prcts. Com ment is unnecessary. African Savagery. —An interest ing little daughter of Moses Coward, of Eminence, Ky„ an infant, in some ba by mood, offended the negro wench who was cook in the family, when the wench threw her upon the floor, took a pot from the fire, and poured boiling soup into the little innocent’s face and down her throat till she was fairly cooked alive. Death ensued, of course. This “ colored lady’’ is one of those sav ages whom Congress proposes to make the equal of the Christian white wom an, by enfranchising and qualifying as citizens the bucK beasts of her race. The New York T'ribune gives & lengthy history of the “ Man without a country”—Lieut. Brain—who was in carcerated in the Brooklyn jail without trial In 18GG,on the charge of piracy and murder, and demands his release at once. It says that Johnson has dis charged all those charged with great crimes, and permits a “ poor wretch” to languish In prison without trial or re prieve. Lieut. Brain is the only sup port of a widowed mother and orphan children. Can it be possible that the President has forgotten this case.— Brain was one of the earliest Confeder ate ‘‘ corsairs.” ort-r-The Democrats of Connecticut have made their Congressional nomi nations, viz:—lst district, Hon. James Dixon, whose term ns U. 8. Senator ex pires to-day; 2d district, James P. Bab cock, editor of the New Haven Pallet dmm ; 3d district, Ahiai Converse; 4th district, no nomination. The Demo crats of Connecticut expect to elect their State ticket, and three of the four Congressmen. Excellency Geary, is said to be absent minded occasionally. Once up on a time, recentiy.'a man accidentally ran against him on the street, jarring hisTiat off. He instantly asked " par don” of his Kxcellency. Geary told him to call at the State department, as he hud no blanks with him. DISCTIABGE or PASTERS AID FOLDERS. , So long as there was any hope of ex tracting some thirty thousand dollars from the State Treasury, for the pur pose of paying the pasters and folders, the Radicals of the lower House of our State Legislature persistently adhered to their resolution to give to each Re publican member of the House the pri vilege of appointing one or more of his adherents to a sinecure position, in which the only work to be done was the pleasant ono of drawing their pay.— Vain were the denunciations begun by the Democratic press and taken up in turn, by a few Radical Journals, sneh as the Philadelphia Pott, the Pittsburgh Commercial, and the Lancaster Express. The virtuousßepublican lawgivers re fused to be admonished, and turned a deaf car to every railing accusation which was brought against them. They have, however, finally passed a resolu tion discharging the extra twenty-sev en useless officials; but they have only done so after being fully convinced that they could not force the payment of their salaries. They were not influ enced by any desire for economy. They started out with the deliberate inten tion of robbing the State Treasury, and it was only when they found that it would be utterly impossible to secure the passage of an appropriation thiough the Senate to pay their hangers on, that the Radical members of the House con sented to dismiss them. They cannot claim any credit for what they have now dons. They are none the less thieves because they failed to carry off their plunder.' They stand convicted before the people of Pennsylvania, and branded with the mark of public rub hers. The Republican party is respon sible for their misdeeds, and it must be made to answer for them. Money to Buy Negro Votes.—A resolution has just been passed by Con gress appropriating $30,000 for the re lief of the “ poor” of the District of Co lumbia. By “ poor” are meant the idle negroes who lounge in the gallery ot the House of Representatives, where hundreds of able-bodied blacks may be seen lounging every day, and the horde which infests the lanes and alleys of the metropolis, too lazy to work, but sharp enough to live on government bounty. Of course it will be claimed that no dis tinction will be made in the distribu tion of the money so lavishly appropri ated by Congress, but everybody who knows anythingof Washington politics, knows what is the real meaning of this ostentatious charity. The municipal election will soon take place, and these thirty thousand dollars are to be put in to the hands of Radical ward politician, to be used in controlling negro votes.— This is a cheap way of electioneering. The people at large are thus forced to pay liberally toward the expenses of a municipal election, in which the will of the white property-holders of Wash ington is overborne by the votes of ne groes fed and feed at the expense of the taxpayers of the whole country. There vas a time when such an outrage would have excited universal indigna tion, but so many greater enormities have been practiced by the Radicals, that such a matter as this excites but little attention. The Radicals at Washington, while they propose to give the negro the bal lot seek to disfranchise the foreigner.— A hill has been presented to Congress to amend the natura ization laws so as to retard the naturalization of foreigners. This is the revival of the old Know Nothing creed, which, it will be re membered, had its foundation in the pro-cription of foreign-born citizens There is no reason to believe that this measure will fail in either house. On the contrary, the indications point strongly to its enactment, and that, too, by the votes of the very men who have •-nfranchised hundreds of} thousands of ignorant, barbarous negroes, in tht ."'cithern Stales, and are now about, to propose, by amendment to the Consti tution, to enfranchise them all over the country. It is high time that the white people of the States, from Maine to the Rio Grande, served a notice upon those who assume to be their representatives in Congress, that, unless they obey the Constitution of the United States and the laws of society, they will be held accountable, individually and collect ively. The foreign Deraoi rat and the native Democrat will otherwise be crushed out, and the Yankee Radical and negro Radical rule the country ad infinitum. Stealing a School Fund. —lt ap pears that Radical politicians have sto len the school fund of Tennessee. A Republican paper says, “among those most deeply implicated in this theft are Congressmen Arnell, Mullins and Nunn, who pocketed between them $23,000.” Legal proceedings have been instituted, but very little hope is enter tained that a single dollar of the mis sing money will ever be recovered.— This is of a piece with other transac tions of the acallywags and carpet-bag gers who have been foisted upon the South by bayonets and negro votes The State of Tennessee has been bank rupted by them, and, even the school fund has been stolen by men who ait in Congress as fit representatives of the party of great moral ideas. Faugh 1 The Philadelphia News calls Geary the “ present vain, ignorant and imbi cile Executive” of Pennsylvania. Was he not, permit us to ask, the “ hero of Snickersville,” and did he not “ fight, bleed and die” for his country, when these howlers were only in the “ meel ish ?” Did he not ride a fine boss, and have a fancy saddle, and lots of blazing red straps and belts, and fancy belly bands I Prominent Georgians are endeavor ing to have Georgia remanded back to a provisional territoryship, with Hill for Governor, in order to rid it of the leprous “ loil" white niggers from the North, who are stealing the Common wealth to death by piece-meal 1 What a comment on the beauties of rip-publi can government. By a report of the Treasurer, it ap pears that New England has $25 bank circulation for every citizen, while Pennsylvania averages but $lO, and for the South it is as low as ten cents, rind in the West but two or three dollars per capita. Thus it is in nearly every thing—the Yankee States, black, miser able and small as they are, receive more favors from Government, and are mors privileged, than any of the other States 1 can cosißAcn- pacific bailboad BONDS, It is generally known that by cove nant between theflnancialofficersof the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Trustees ofthe FirstMorlgage Bond holders, these bonds were made paya ble, principal and interest, in gold.— The United States Supreme Court has just decided the validity of contracts made payable in gold coin. This decis ion of the highest national tribunal es tablishes beyond question or doubt the manner and terms upon which the Union Pacific Railroad Company must inevitably pay both principal and inter est of their First Mortgage Bonds. These bonds are a First Mortgage up on the longest railroad iu the world, and in amount do nut exceed the sum of $27,000 per mile, while the earnings up on the portion of the road in operation last year averaged more than $7,000 per mile. And when the entire line shall be opened, ns it will be in the early Supimer, to the trade and travel to the Pacific, the earnings will be very large ly increased. Experience has shown that the longest lines of railroad (other things being equal) are always the most profitable. The Inst year’s earnings up on the New York Central, the New York and Erie, and the Pennsylvania Central are proof of this. The New York Central’s earnings per mile were $21,254,the New York and Erie, $25,- 811, and the Pennsylvania road, $47,- 475. The Union Pacific is a much lon ger railroad. Let its annual earnings per mile reach the average of these roads—say s32,sl2—and the result on eleven hundred miles of road will be $35,763,200 in the year. Such facts as these have made Union Pacific Bonds the most popular securi ties in the market; and the sales are now so active that parties who desire to invest will do well to make their sub scriptions at once. PASSED FINALLY, After an unusual display of hesitation and reluctance on the part of both Hou ses of Congress, the ■ constitutional amendment is now passed finally. The text of the bill is as follows: Be it retolved, Jtc. Two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following amendment to the Constitution of the United States be submit* >ed to the legislatures of the several States, ; nd when ratified by three-fourths thereof, It shall be a part of said Constitution. Art. 15. —Therlshtof thecitlrensof the United States to vote shall not be denied or abriged by the United Slates or by any State, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Sec. 2. The Congros shall have power to en force this article by appruprate legislation. It will now go out to the legislatures of all the States for ratification. The approval of three-fourths of them Is re quisite. This will require the Radicals to control twenty-eight State legisla tures. They have at this time not more than twenty-six In their power, and of these there are several which cannot The officers of the army of the Potc mac held a preliminary meeting in New York on Monday of last week.— General McClellan presided. A com mittee on permanent organization, by laws, and constitution was appointed, consisting of two from each corps.— Monday, sth of July, and thu city of New York, were made the time and place for the grand re-union. It was decided that a permanent organization should be made at that time. The insurrection in tuba is spreading and assuming very formidable propor tions. It is said the insurgents have been supplied with arms and ammuni tion from this country and England.— In the Eastern Department they hold the town of Tunas, and are gaining in the West. The probability is that the revolution will be successful in the end. Westmoreland county goes for Geary. Covodc is the j-enatorlal dele gate, and will vote for the “humbug gest.” Why not?

The Radicals in Nevada will not ratify unless they have the as surance that Congress shall so exercise the power conceded in the second sec tion, as to exclude the Chinese from suffrage. The candid McClure says that he asked General Grant to appoint Gov ernor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, to a place in the Cabinet, not because Cur tin could serve the country, but because he was “ the only man who could save the State next fall.” municipal election of Port land, Maine, on Monday, resulted in the election of Win.

The *ole object of conversation and anxiety seems to be the Inauguration, which will take place on Thursday. Every available room, bed and cot has been engaged, and most of them are already occupied.

The grand ball, whleh was and then was not, seems now to be in a flourishing condition and the thing will undoubtedly take place. The second great question of the day Is. “who will compose Grant’s Cabinet T”. The radical lea ders from your Bute tried the bullying game last week, and sent the valiant Alex. McClure to de mand of the biave Ulyvea the appointment of Andy Curl In as the member of hla cabinet from Pennsylvania. Tm reault of the interview, watch probably mostof your readers hnveseen, 1s terse* ly given la the report of the reliable correspon dent of the Ntw York World, who took most of It from the lips of the veracious colonel, 1 enclose the slip; The politicians and the President-elect have had an exciting time. The fact, made public by General Grant that he had decided to appoint a Pennsylvanian In his C tblnet, brought to Wash ington the leaders of the Radical party In that Stale, moat of whom, with as little principle a* good taste, have sought to dlcUte on the mere ba sis of rumor, or regarding said appointment. The result has already been strife and discord }n the Republican ranks, and commotion among the politicians. This morning Alexander McClnro, went to army headquarters In company with one or two friends, and sending his card In obtained nn interview with the President-elect. Mr. Me- Clare, after the nsual Interchange of curtesies, itald he bad a letter signed by Judges Aguew. Williams. s.nd Reed, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and other prominent men of t; e Republican party In the Bute, asking that lha State might be represented in the Cabinet of the new administration, and respectfully suggesting ilia nwmeof ex-Goveraor Anlrew G. Curtin for a position. He added that alelter from Governor Geary and others was on. the wav warmly indors ing Governor Curtin, and commending him to the favor of the President-elect, in the hope that the name would be well and favorably received. General Grant replied to thin that he had already determined to give the State of Pennsylvania a pla»e In the Cabinet, and had selected a distin guished gentleman and a member of the llepuh lean party, whoso name, however, he could not mention at present. He felt confident that the selection would meet the approval of the party and the people of that State.. Mr. McClure said, la sub’tiDce, that he had noticed In newspapers the names of G«orge H.Biuait, a Philadelphia merchant, »n«l a-> ex-Judge Smith, as b Ing likely ve cover tue homo ml tbs party selected, but ha hoped that such was not tho case. He feltsa e, as the chairman for several years of the Kept b- Ilcau Btote Committee, In saying that these n en Wvre not active Republican politicians. They would not please the party, and were not desprv. Jng by workordevotlon any suc-h high reward or compliment. General Grant then said : I do not see that the politicians of Pennsylvania should make up my Cabinet,” Mr. McClure re plied that as for George H. Stuart ho never knew him to b« active ot a Republican meeting, or to contribute otherwise to the success of the Re publican puny; indeed, he would not be looked upon mb a representative man of the party, and, he added, that standing ns an old member of Ills party, * I must protest against the selection of Mr. Htuart." “Why,” said General Grant, with an expression of surprise, " 1 do not see how any one can object to Mr. Stuart. He devoted himself during the war to his country, contributing at all times his persona) service and his means for tho soldiers of the army. But,’ 1 with a pause, * Do not understand me os saying that I have selected Mr. Htuart as a member of my Cabinet.” Mr McOuresald ; •’ Mr Stuart is not a representative of the Republican party,” General Grant replied with ♦ mphasls: Then lam nut a representative or the Republican party:" The President-elect then moved toward a desk, indicating that ho did not des're to prolong the Interview, and Mr. McClure said: ”General,l felt It tny duty to present lb • name of Governor Curtin, and that accomplish© I my mission is ended." He then withdrew Mi - 'Claris/ excited, aud seemingly Indignant, hur ried down to Willard's and thenco to the Capi tol, spreading tho result of his interview amo ig bis friends—commenting on its details, and ex pressing his belief that Stuart was going 1.. t t the Cabinet. At tho Capitol he met many Pennsyl •vanians. The news of bis interview bod preceded him, and tho Congressmen from his Mtato and others gathered aud listened. Senator Simon Camerom was among them. "I am disposed, '* said the incorruptible statesman, “ if Stuart Isso lected to indorse the appointment. ’ ” What has Stuart ever done for the party f” gibed in Mc- Clure again. ”He has doue a great deal,” an* awerod Cameron ”obl General, that is very well," echoed Mr. Cluro, ” but he la not tho kind ot men you wanted for aid when you desired to be re-elected Senator. He is not the kind of a man you hud around the Girard House. Philadelphia, drinking wine and fixing up matters for the uoys to arrange the primaries that Cameron men would be elected to tiie Legislature to send you to the United States Senate," There was ashout of laughter attain palpable hit. The crowd took up the talk. '* McClure is right" said one. "Grant cannot go back on the politicians and he w ut sell out the men who elected him." " Bui it Is a bud stan," said nothor "to take a pious old fel low like Stuait, who will be fooled in a week by the men around him." "I'm for grant having bis own way," said a Rad.cal Congicssman.— Whuare Aleck McClure. Andy Curtin,and John Forney? Why, they didn’t have a bit of influ ence In the late Senatorial contest, for Scott wa* elected In the face of all their opposition. Ills the d—t impudence 1 over beard of that these men should come down here to dictate to Grant, The people have repudiated them.’* Altera great deal of smal talk from small men, and a hundred and one amendments, the negro suffrage amendment bos at lost passed both Houses In the following form : lif U resolved; «tc., tivo-thirdx of both Houses con r.nrriiiOt That the following amendment to the Constitution of the United Slates be submitted to the LeslHlalurea of the several States, and, when ratified by three-fourths thereof, it shall be a pun of said Cotmllulloi. Akticlk 15. The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not he denied or Hbridued by the United States, or by any stale on account ol race, color, or previous condition ol servitude. Section 2. The Congress shall have power to en force tbU article by appropriate legislation. This differs from the bill as It came from the Senate by dropping the right of the negroes to hold office and omitting religion and education. I have strong hopes that this amendment will not be ratified by three-fourths of the States.— Even Mr. Sumner and Mr Bontwell expressed the opinion that It cannot be ratified; and their d mbts or despa'r should encourage the friends ol Stale rights to make a vigorous opposlt ion to the ante draent in every State where there Is an Inch of ground to fight upon. Let your Pennsylvni la Radicals now face the music. The question w.ll be submitted to the present Legislature, and th«' man who tails to vote for it will he damned by his party, while the man who d .es vote for It will ho condemned' by the people. Walk up to the r*ck, gentlemen. The Supreme Court has made an important de cision having relation to the tender laws. Tl © Legislature of Oregon In levying the Slate taxes provided that the same should be paid In coin.— Certain tax-payers tendered greenbacks In pay ment, and pleaded i hat the tender act mode pay ment in greenbacks a liquidation of “all debts, public and private, except duties on Imp »rUi and ■merest on the public debt of the United States.” The Courts of Oregon sustained the state law and the case came up on appeal to the Supreme Court at Washington. It was held by the Court that the act ma ting notes of the United States a legal tender for all debts,publlcand prlvate.does not make them a legal tender for that which 1* n*t a debt. Taxes levied by a Stale are not In -luded In the legal meaning of the word debt, as i he obligation to pay taxes rests on entirely d .ffer -ntgroun-t from the obligation to pay sums due on contract; and the laws under which the one class of obligations a 1 • created and enforced a wholly distinct from tlio.se which apply to the other class of obligations. You remember that when your Judge sharswood rendered a decision in the Borle va. Trout case, to the effect that coin contracts were valid there was a tremendous howl from Radical journals. Now that the Su premo Court of the United States has confirmed the views of this distinguish, d Judge these same Journals accept it ns sound law, and see no lurk ing treason in the decision.

Craighead, in South Middleton town ship, probably the .finest burn in Cum berland county, was entirely consumed by fire. The flumes were first discovered about noon, and it is supposed they were communicated to tiie building by a piece of fuse being thrown from a blast In an adjoining field. Tiie horses and some farming implements were saved, but twenty-eight heml of fat cattle, and the entire crop of hay mid grain, were con sumed. ‘Fortunately Mr. Craighead had an insurance of some $7,000 or $B,OOO up on the barn and its contents, which will cover his loss, with tho exception of $2,- 000 or $3,000.

From what we have heard said of them by those who ought to know, wo are sat isfied that a fair trlai will convince all that they are ns represented—a superior medicinal preparation. For a cough, use “ Seward’s Cough Cure.” It. “No Boom for Loafers.”— These words recently met our eye as we passed a workshop in this town. “No room for loafers.” Sure enough, there is no room for loafers anywhere in this working world. They are not wanted in the busy workshop, nor in the editor’s sanctum; they are a nuisance in the country store, spitting and spewing about the stove, and at the post < ffice and street corner’s aie in everybody’s way. -They are forev er out of place—except when in the alms house or jail. A dead weight upon socie ty, they are a hindrance and a bore.— They form no part of nature’s plan; it abhors, (hem as it does a vacuum. While all the world around them is going for ward, they are standing still, or rather gliding imperceptibly backward into the seedy vagabondism. A loafer soon grows rusty. It is only use which keeps our faculties bright,and the idle man gets dull, stupid, stolid and muddy-headed. Yet some of these fellows seem to think very well of themselves. You will see them strutting along the sunny side of the street, lounging at comers, or hang ing about the doors of the hotels, with fin© clothes upon their backs, and a well satisfied smirk upon their vacant counte nances. The poor creatures look down upon a poor working man os a being of inferior order! No doubt the drones af fect to despise the busy bees, until they are driven from the hive to starve, while the workers feast upon the honey. A loafer setting himself above tbe man who labors with his hands! Why, be is as far beneath him as iu the order of creation the sloth is beneath the common horse.— A yopng mechanic, in his working dress, and with his tools In his hands, is every way a more agreeable object than tbe best dressed loafer in existence. There is al ways room for him. He Is never out of place, for he is keeping step with the movement of the universe. He bus an aim, a purpose, and he stands for some thing. His faculties are trained to use, and ho is of value to the world for what he can do. The skilled workman is to Die idle man what Die manufactured ar ticle \r to the raw material. He has an additional value above that of mere man hood. Smoke.— Our enterprlslngyoung friend Jinnee P. Neff, on West Main street, last week handed us a bundle of as line Yara Clears us we ever smoked, also a pack age of what we unhesitatingly pronounce the best five cent cigars in town.

Unlucky Days.— The peculiar phase of superaltion which has regard to luoky or unlucky, good or evil daye. Is to be found In all ages and climes wherever the mystery-man of a tribe; or the sacer dotal caste ofa nation, has acquired rule or authority over tlie minds of the people.

A Bloomer. —The local editor of the Harrisburg State Guard indulges in the following rhapsody over a 41 bloomer” whom he saw in that city last week. — He states that she came up the Cumber land Valley. Did any one see her, and did she create a sensation, and If so, how much? Who knows? “Many tilings make their appearance ami transpire at the Capitol dally, which deserve, but which a local reporter dare not notice. It is not his province to delve into the mystery of politics; but when a full fledged bloomer, a rosy cheek* ed and radiant—looking-glass makes her appearance in the rotunda and is esco-t -ed to the galleries of the legislative hall, it is the business of the local reporter to note the fact. Yet, as in politics, he does not dare to delve into the bloomer mys teries. Yesterday.such a bloomer appear ed in tiie galleries of the Senate and House, took a promenade in the rotunda, visited the Library and the Executive Chamber, and appeared particularly anx ious to pee what was transpiring official ly. She was dressed in green plaid, -> skirt reaching an inch (not by actual measurement) below the knees, with trousers of the same material—making altogether a neat and jaunty appearance. A lady thus attired could not fail to at tract attention. Grave legislators ogled her and page boys grinned at the novel ty of the costume, while the lady herself sauntered along undisturbed by the sen sation she had created. After gazing at the dignitaries on the bill, we next ob served the bloomer at the railroad sta tion, quietly seated in a Cumberland Valley railroad car, which carried her doubtless, to create surprise iu some one of the delightful boroughs of that ver dant region.’’ Embellish Your Houses.—Mr. Car ey, the noted horticulturist of Rochester, N. Y.. s ys: The first thing I should press on the farmers in the way of improvement would be what we might call roadside improvement. Keep the cattle off the highways, keep the weeds cut close and lines of shade trees on each side—this, with neat fences, will be an evidence of civilization to begin with. Then I would enjoin the removal from the roadside near the dwellings of all dilapidated and broken imniements, which are so apt, somehow or other, to accumulate. The barn ami other out-buildings are very frequently located more on the prin ciple of convenience than good taste, but we must take these things as they are, and Improve them with paint or wash of some sort, and a good, thick belt of rap id growing trees around them, both for shelter and shade, and to partly conceal their unsightly appearance. Then, as for the door-yard, I would dig up, root out all the old neglected plum and peach, cherry and quince trees, that seem to have sprung up by chauce in the fence corners. All this class of trees, that we might call the '.fi ner fruits, not usually grown in orchards, I would form Into a nice fruit garden of half an acre to two acres, as might be necessary. There I would have a com plete collection of pears, cherries, apri cots, plums, quinces, all the small fruits systematically planted and carefully cultivated. This garden might be made one of the most interesting portinnsoftbe premises, to say nothing of the abundant supply of fine fruit and vegetables it would yield. Here the family could acquire a taste for gardening, as well as learn to practice it. The ground about the bouse I would convert into a smooth lawn which must be kept cut close all summer. This lawn must be suitably embellished with ds ciduous and evergreen tress, flowering shrubs, roses, etc. This is the way I preach to farmers when I yislt them, but only once in a great while with any ef fect. It is a shame for our well-to-do far mers that they are so behind in this mat ter. It makes farm life so dull and drea ry a pursuit that 1 am not surprised to see all the brighter boys run away from it, and our rural papulation growing less every year. Then I think how much these improvements would add to the market value of the farms. A nice bouse, some good fences, and an orchard, In crease the value of the farm from $2O to $23 per acre, other things being equal; but carry out such suggestions as I have made, aud what do you suppose it would add to the value of farms? Almost dou ble it ? This argument baa some weight, it touches the pocket, but the moral ef fect of such improvements would be ab solutely incalculable. That Diamond.—Our article on “ the great Daugherty Diamond’* has awaken ed considerable interest, and the State Guard publishes a statement prepared or suggested by Dr. Daugherty himself, from which it will be seen that there is some reality, about the rumor. The Guard says; “Nealy a.century ago, an old gentle man was passing along a road in lower Virginia, where a party, of worthy emi grants had been encamped some time be fore. As he walked leisurely forward, a rabbit crossed his path. Ue paused, and in a moment the little animal returned. Coming back the third time, theold man stooped to pick up a stone to throw at it. As lie lifted his arm in the sunlight his attention was attracted by the beautiful manner in which the stone refracted the light, and instead of throwing it he put it into his pocket. Reiurning home he gave it to his children to play with, only regarding it aa a singularly beautiful atone, without attaching any specisl val ue to it. Borne days afterward, an intelli gent physician called at the bouse, and observing the a one on the floor, (exam ined it and ottered six dollars for it. The old gentleman argued that if it was worth •lx dollars it was worth more, and declin ed parting with it. • Blmmto^Eng^uiij' by'atrurtvf f OBe,IJ U>l family.
