Tho Oneida Community, Having lately a day's interval between two lecturing engagements in Central New York, I spent that time at the Oneida Community. After a tolerably extonsivo ocqunintanco with the various types of religious cnthugiaRin. I can truly say that I novcr mot with a body of men and women in whom that en thusiasm seemed a moro genuine thing, or loss alloyod by base motive. Tho very fact that some of their main prin ciples seem to me false, and others ac tually repulsive, should give additional weight to this testimony. As you approach the stately brick edi fice of the Community on a winter day you hear tho voices of children, while a ' iittle army of sleds outside the main en trance shows that out-door happiness is at hand for them.' Entering you find yourself in a sort of palace of plain com fort ; admirably warmed and ventilated, with spacious corridors, halls, parlors, library, and natural history museum. You are received with as much courtesy as in any private houso. The mon you meet ore well dressod, well mannered, well educated. The women, though dis figured by tho plainest of all possible bloomer dresses, look healthy and cheer ful. At table and in tho dining-hall, where tho sexes meet, you see cordial and inoffensive manners. Your food is well cooked and served with home-made wine if you wish, and the delicious broad and butter and snowy table-cloth of the Shakers. After dinner, perhaps, they give you an improvised concert, The family assembles in tho great hall. The side door of tho wide stage opens. and half a dozen littlo children from two to three years old aro let in as tho advance guard of the juvenile depart ment. They toddle about the stage at their will its edge being protected by a light partition for their benefit and shout and crow to their parents, who sit below. The little ones are all rosy and healthy, all about tho same size, and all neatly dressed in littlo frocks and fresh white aprons. It is a pretty prelude for an afternoon's performance. Then twenty of tho elder children follow and sing some songs. They also look happy and well cared for, and are neatly, though ungracefully dressed. Then you listen to a really excellent orchestra of six or seven instruments, led by a thoroughly-trained leader a young man brought up in tho Community and edu cated at their expense while a boy of li plays tne second violin. Ihey play good German music, while tho little ones find their way down upon tho floor and are petted by their special parents and watched with apparent admiration and attection by men and women goner any. mis, at least, was what 1 saw that day. Later I saw the machine' shops and silk factory ; but these can bo seen anywhere. But a family of 200 living in apparent harmony and among tne comtorts winch associated mo se cures this is not to be seen every day, ana tms is wnat one at least convinces himself that he sees at Oneida. Meanwhile the essential theories upon wnicn an this rests appear to the ob scrvor'-to me at least all wrong. At Oneida they practice community ot pro perty. I disbelieve in it, and only be- live in association and co-operation. At Oneida they subordinate all the relation ot the sexes to the old Greek theory, hold by them as Christians, that tho community has a right to control par cntago, and to select and combine tho parents of tho next generation of tho human race, as in rearing domestic ani mals. Such a theory I abhor ; I believe it must causo much suffering in its ap plication, and that it will defeat its own end by omitting from these unions all deep personal omotion. Therefore I ut terly dissent from tho essential theories of tho Oneida Community. All tho more reason for trying to do them jus tice. In tho wonderful variety and complexity of human nature it often happens that theories which would be degrading in your hands or mino are somehow purged of tho expected ill ef fects in' the hands which hold them. There is a divine compensation that lim its the demoralizing effects of bad prin ciples when these are honestly adopted. I found a good doal of such compensa tion at Oneida. It must be remembered that the whole organization is absolutely based upon a special theology, that none who do not adopt this would in any caso be admitted to membership. As a matter of fact, they have for several years admitted no new members whatever, having no room. This cuts off all floating and transient membership, and excludes all tho drift-wood of reform. Members must be either very sincero proselytes to a religious theory, or else very consum mate hypocrites. The Community re jects the whole theory of " attractive in dustry" of Fourier, and accepts a theory of self-sacrifice. In tho samo way it re jects tho wholo theory of "affinities" in love and marriage It accepts instead, a theory of self-control, and even what seems unlawful and repulsive indulgence must bo viewed against this stern back- ground of predominant self-sacrifice. Tho two things they most sternly re sist in practice are, first lawlessness, or . doing what is right in ono's own eyes ; and secondly exclusive ownership, whether of property, or wife and child. All must be subordinated to the sup posed good of tho wholo. They admit that this theory would bo utterly disas trous to the world in its present stage, it adopted without preparation. No thing but religious enthusiasm would make it practicable, even in a Commun ity of two hundred, witheut its result ing either in agony or degradation. But now, as a matter of fact, how is it 'r I am bound to say as an honest re porter, that I looked in vain for tho vis ible signs of either tho suffering or tho sin. The Community makes an impres aion utterly unlike that loft by the pal lid joylessness of tho Shakers, or the stupid sensualism which impressed me in the fow Mormon households I have seen. I saw sonio uninteresting faces, and some with that look of burnt-out fire of which every radical assembly snows specimens, out i am not see a tace that I should call coarso, and there were very fow that I should call joyless. The fact that the children of the Community hardly ever wish to leave it ; that the young men whom they send to Yale College, and the- young women whom they send for musical instruction in New York, always return eagerly and devote thoir lives to the Community ; this proves a good deal. There is no coercion to keep them, as in Mormonism, and there are no monastio vows, as in the Koman Catholic Church. This invana ble return, therefore, shows that there is happiness to be found in the Communi ty, and that it is of a kind which wins the respect of the vountr and generous. A body must have great confidence in itsulf when it thus voluntarily sends its hoep into the midst of the world' wolves, and fearlessly expects their re turn. I came away from tho community with increased respect for tho religious sontimcnt which, in however distorted a form, can koep men and women from tho degradation which one would ex pect to result from a lifo which seems to mo so wrong. I brought away also increased respect for tho pnnciplo of as sociation, which will yet secure to the human race, in the good timo coming, better things than competition has to givo. I saw men and women thcro whom I felt ready to respect and love. I admire the fidelity with which they maintain tho equality of the sexes Nevertheless, I should count it a calam ity for a boy or a girl to bo brought up at Onoida. T. W. Higginson in the Vo man'i Journal. AGRICULTURAL JJonncr's Horse Palace. Prof. Warner contributes the follow ing to tho Herald of Health : Every detail exhibited the most per fect adaptation and taste. Truly a pal- aco would be a moro appropriate name for so perfect and expensive a stable Five large box stalls on each sido ot a wide alloy j tho divisions are about six feet high, with an iron railing extend ing round the top, completely isolating each occupant irom the others, as well as from tho gaze ot visitors. As the door is open to admit Joe Elliott to his stall, I notice there is no manger j the hay is eaten from the floor. In one cor ner is an iron receptaclo for feeding gram. It is low, very simple, and con venient. Xhe nearer nature is lmitatea the bettor. That I know, and often ad vised. There is moro economy and less trouble to food from a mangor than from a rack, vet in nineteen out of twenty Btables through the country tho manger will bo found so high and extending so far out over the head that a horse ot or dinary size must reach up to cat his hay, and in so doing sifts the seed and dust from it upon his head and eyes. Nature has designed the horse to eat his food from tho ground, else the pasturage would bo raised to a level with the head. The proper exercise ot tho muscles of the forelegs and shoulders require this, and a neglect of it is often the cause of weak knees. V hilo looking at the floor, Mr. Bonner anticipated my inquiry by saying, " The floor is mado up by a se ries of slats, with spaces between large enough to allow tho passage of water. Beneath this is a water-tight floor, with a pitch of two inches on ono side tor drainage, with the false flooring just that much thicker and higher on that side." Tho extra flooring is so con structed in two sections that it can be raised from the centre both ways, and placed on edge when removing the ac cumulation of objectionable matter be neath. By this time my attention was called to the occupants of some of tho other stalls. " Here," said Bonner, " is Princess, Flora Temple's gteatcst com petitor. When I bought her, a short timo ago, and placed her under my treat ment, she moved liko a foundered horse. This I knew was the effect of contraction and bad shoeing. The result of my treatment is proof of the correctness of my judgment, ns you sec she now moves as freely and naturally as any horse. She is a littlo vicious, and wo will tako her in hand when convenient, if you wish." Princess looked at me with sus picion, but I soon made her ladyship submit to a caress. Of an irritable na ture, Bho needed careful handling and a little watching to prevent a snap judg ment in the way ot a kick. lho next horse shown me was a bay, four years old, named Startle, ono of the finest mo deled horses of his ago I ever saw, and Irom present accounts is tho coming horse, he having already mado the fast est time on record by a horso ot his age. ' See what an arm, a shoulder, a loin, said Mr. Bonner calling my attention to the various points constituting a great trotter : and so thoroughly does he seem to have studied tho points necessary for speed and endurance that, I am con vinced, he could at a glance select a trotter from a large drove. The next horso shown me was the peerless Dox ter. Many a man, or woman either, would, I imagine, feel it an honor to ca ress this greatest of horses, but like a true king as he is, he will not permit any familiarity trom a stranger : yet to- wards his master ho seems to evince the greatest affection, following him with tho docility of the most gentle pet, whilo at the approach ot others he shows in. Btant resentment. Intending to renew my visit to the stable the next morning, I was now conducted by Mr. Bonner to his private residence, heated in the li. brary the topic of conversation became that of prices paid. I am able to give the prices paid for the following-named horses : Dexter $33,000 Pocahonta 33.000 Lantern O.ooo El. Everett 80,01,0 Lady Palmer 6,000 Peerless 3.300 Bruno 13,000 Joe Elliott 10.000 FlatbuhMaid 4.000 Membiiuo Bertie, uboul (Mr. Bonner's words)... 12,000 Total 14i,ili0 The stablo and ground upon which it is built must have cost at least one nun dred thousand dollars, making an aggre gate of the handsome amount of a quar ter ot a million ot dollars. A New Era is Amemcan Grafe Culture. Tho progress of science in connection with the useful arts has in no way boon better illustrated than in grape culturo, which during tho past quarter of a century has become an in terest of no mean character among tho industries of the United States. It was very natural for those who were familiar wiih the luscious grapes and fine wines of Eurcpe to suppose that the importa tion ot this truit would give us all we required to produce the samo results in our land. Indeed, the promise was rose colored ; for had we not a finer climate for iruit culturo than the best grape lands of Italy or the Ehine ? The for eign grapo was introduced, but it was found that though the foreign man did very well on American soil, ho could not bring tho joyous fruit with him. The late Nicholas Long worth, of Cin cinnati, took the matter up systemati cally, and it was demonstrated that only American grapes would flourish on American soil. Hereafter the botanist was an important personage. New grapes continually appeared ; but if the man of science decided any one of them to be of tho European race, though the plant may have been raised in this country from seed, tho grape growers knew enough not to risk money in ex perimenting with it. But why these grapes should not do well here, no ono ever knew. The facts were plain enough, but the reason not bvious. In grape-houses thev did wonderfully well, and this, too, before the advent of General Pleasonton's groat discovery of tho growth-virtue of blue grass. Moreover, there were thousands to testify, and who will at this day testity, that thev can get the forcicn grapes to grow very wellin the open air, some for ono or two and others tor more years, Why not for many years as well as for a tewr Ihe geologist, tho botanist, the agricultural chemist, tho meteorologist all have worked at the problem with, out avail. But Science conquers. En. tomology has discovered the evil in her world. Thcro seems to bo little room for doubt that an insect is at tho bottom of the wholo trouble, and that we have literally reached the root of tho thing, ihe insect which causes tho evil is very small. For practical purposes wo may call it a fly. bcientihcally it is Phylloxera raftatrij;. It works in sum mer on tho leaves, making littlo tent like eruptions on the upper surface, which aro found filled with little brown lice. But it seems to prefer to work on tho root. In almost all vines which fail theso minute insects are found in great quantities on tho roots ; and wherever they attach themselves the roots ulti mately die. Thus the vino not only sutlers trom the loss ot roots, by starva tion, but tho peculiar substance which, by insect agency, makes what wo know as insect galls, seems to suffuse the wholo plant, and thus it dwindles away. Theso truths were first demonstrated at Mont- pellier, in France, and one of our own entomologists, Professor Riley, of St. Louis, has clearly shown that it is tho samo here. These insects, thugh apparently of such voracious appetites, have really very nice tastes. They rival our epicures in tho daintiness ot their selections. They prefer the European grape, but it is not so easy for them to get under the glass in vineries, and when they do the smoke from Virginia's favorite weed soon hnishes them. In tho open air they prefer as their second choice those nice varieties of grapo which produce fruit near in quality with the foreign vines. The sparkling Catawba, or rich, juicy Iona or Delaware aro its especial favorites. It the rhmloxera abounds on the roots of theso favorite Borts, but it despises your coarser-grained Clinton and Concord varieties. It has long been known to the grapist that theso two are tho most reliable Americans. Here we are taught the reason why. Aow that the cause has been demon. strated, Science rests. It is a triumph for those of hor votaries who battlo for her usefulness. What good are all these minute abstract studies '( is thus point edly answered. But tho work'for the practical man now commences. The quick American mind is not slow to re move obstacles when clearly seen, and we may tairly date a new era in grape culture from this great discovery of tho day. 1'h i I a del via l'res.

Beware of imitation. Different Kinds of Engraving. " Line " engraving is of tho highest order. All great engravings are done in " lino " simply straight lines. Next comes " line" and "stipple." "Stipplo" means dots small dots like this .... .... These small dots are used to lighten up the high parts of the face or drapery. It is very hard to engrave a face in lines, simply, and only master engravers have ever undertaken it. Tho masters under stand and Dractico both "line" and " stipplo." Claudo Mellan engraved in 1700, a full head of Christ with one un broken line. This line commenced at the apex of tho nose, and wound out and out like a watch spring, until it ended in the border of the picture. Mezzotint engravings are produced thus : The steel or copper is made rough like fine sand paper. To produce soft effects this rough surface is scraped off. If you want a white place or " high light in your engraving, scrapo the surface smaoth, then tho ink will not touch it, If you want faint color, scrapo off a lit tle. Such engravings look like litho graphs. Etching is adapted to homely and familiar sketches. Almost all the great painters were etchers. Etching is dono thus : The copper or steel plate is heated and covered with black varnish Tho engraver scratches off this varnish with sharp needles, working on tho sur face as he would on paper with a pencil. Nitric acid is then poured over the plato, and it eats away at the steel and copper wherever the needle has scraped off the varnish. When the varnish is removed with spirit of turpentine, the engraving is seen in sunken lines on tne plate. How to Ornament the Hair.

Prof. Xich ols, in his Journal of Chemistry, gives the cost of keeping twelve cows as fol lows : ' " We find that the twelve cows con sume in twenty-four hours 212 lbs. of good upland hay, CO lbs. of corn and meal, und 40 lbs. of fine feed. They drink 120 gallons ot water, which is 10 gallons to each cow. Tho cash value, at tho barn, of the hay consumed ($30 tho ton) is $3.18, and the meal and feed cost $2.03. Tho uggregate cost of tho food consumed each day is therefore $5.23." That is, tho cost per day for each cow is 43 7-12 cents, where good hay is $30 per ton. Ilia calculations are made at his furm at Lakeside, Haverhill, Mass., where lie comes to tho conclusion that it is not protitablo to raiso milk, pure milk, for sale, at a cents a quart at the barn, as ho shows thus : " Tho total quantity of milk obtained, averaging the products of twelve days, is IMS quarts per day. The price of milk to milkmen, at the barn, is 5 cents per quart, which gives tho aggregate valuo of the products in cash $1.80. This proves that the cash valuo of the food' consumed ny tlio liera oi cows exceeus tho cash valuo of the products by 43 cents each day, or in other words, the actual cost is 43 cents a day, not esti mating tho cxpenso of taking caro of animals, milking, and other expenses in cident to a herd of cows." Iteferring to tho above estimate, the Mirror and Farmer, of Manchester, Now Hampshire, says that with hay at about $33 per ton, it costs plump half a dollar a day to keep a Jersey cow, or any cow of larirfl size of other breeds. We would liko to see a comparative statement of the cost of subsisting dairy cows in tho blue grasi region. A Physician wuo IIkai.kd Himself.
