Farm Note.
The weeds easiest to kill are always
on rich ground.
To buy all the land one can is like a
merchant paying all his money ' for a

A taste for farming oomes late, and it
is often connected with high mental
culture.
While a poor farm may be of great
advantage to a man of energy, it is hard
on the boys.
An aore of wheat straw in England is
worth more, than an acre of wheat and
straw in Minnesota.
The politioal economists declare that
if cash payments were always made,
prices could be reduced thirty per

high, but higher ones still oome from
having farm implements exposed to the
weather.

If every milk pail in the country
leaked so much as to lose hall its con
tents, the loss would be no greater than
the loss arising irom bad butter.
1 oocl given to cattle in the open air
is partly wasted to supply heat ; a part
is wasted in too warm stables by
sweating process. Give us neither
poverty nor riches.
An English farm writer says : "There
is no more dismal sight, on a cold, wet
morning, than a lot of cattle standing
with their backs up in an open fold,
devouring half-frozen turnips, chilling
their bodies, and disturbing their tem
pers by the process. Bo you are over
there also, with your sloshy ways of
iarmmg.
It is estimated -that only five per
cent of the butter sent to market is
really choice. This means only five
per cent of farmers and of farmeis'
wives are neat and careful enough to
make good butter. The loss sustained
for want of these qualities may be rated
at millions of dollars annually.
It is now asserted that a side window
in a stable makes a horse's eye weak on
that side ; a window in front hurts his
eyes by the glare ; a window behind
makes him squint-eyed ; a window on a
diagonal line makes him shy when he
travels ; a stable without windows
rcakes him blind. Truly, farming is a
' fearful and wonderful pursuit.
There is one especial Advantage in
keeping farm accounts. By knowing
what corn, oats, wheat, barley, rye and
roots cost, or what they bring in mar
ket, or how far they will go in feeding,
it can be ascertained which will pay
best. Not to keep accounts is a good
deal as if a merchant should sell his
goods without knowing what they cost.
The Ohio Horticultural Sooiety has
petitioned the General Assembly to
encourage the culture and protection
of forests in the State by the offer of
liberal bounties and by exempting from
taxation land thus planted. It also
prays that severe penalties may be laid
against wanton or careless destruction
of shade trees along the publio high'
ways. '
A farm of Bean.

planted nearly the whole of his farm.
the first year with beans. The war
made an active demand for beans, at
high prices ; he got a good crop and
sold for Si to $4.50 per hunhol. Doing
bo well the first year he repeated the
experiment ; bought more land, until
he now owns 300 acres, lieans are and
have been his main though not, as at
first, his only crop. Two years ago he
planted about 140 acres. The planting
is an done oy a machine made especial
ly for the purpose, and the cultivating
is done by horse labor. He hires the
beans pulled by the acre, $2.50 being
the usual price. Women and children
do much of this work, and, as it is done
by the acre, there is no disputing as to
how much each laborer earns. There
are nps and downs in prices low prices
being the rule since the war but Mr,
has found his bean crop always a
prod table one. in seasons when beans
are injured by the weather, he furnishes
a great amount of work for poor people
in winter in hand-picking his enormous
crop. His example and success have
proved contagious, and the result is
that Deans have been grown more
largely within six or ten miles of Brock'
port than in any other section of aim
liar size in the world. Many farmers
have grown rich by growing them, and
during the war it was not uncommon
for men to make the valne of ther land
from a tingle crop, well sold.
CulPa-foot Jelly.
Proportions: A set of calf's feet, or
four, two quarts of water, three eggs,
one ounce of gelatine, a gill of port-
wine, and a quarter of a gill of Jamaica
rum, one onion, a sprig of thyme, one
clove, eight whole peppers, and salt.
Process: See that the feet are well
cleaned and scraped ; put them in
saucepan with the water, the onion in
shoes, the thyme, clove, and whole
peppers ; boil gently until they are
thoroughly cooked. If the water should
boil away, add some more. Take the
feet off when done, turn the liquor into
a strainer, and put it on the fire in

Vesuvius Preparing
for an Eruption
According to various
reports from
Italy, it would appear that tourists vis
iting Naples this winter will enjoy the
superb sight of Vesuvius in a state of
eruption. The fiery mountain is cer
tainly greatly agitated. Professor Pal
mien (the recognized authority on the
subject), in his latest bulletin, says
that, although no large masses of name
yet arise from the crater, great puffs of
smoke are continually ascending, some
of them enclosing little tongues of
flame, which are extinguished as they
mount upward. It is therefore be
lieved by the learned professor that
the fused matter which gives rise to the
smoke cannot be at any very great
depth. The principal animation is ob
servable in the northwest crater, the
one which is nearest to the observa
tory.' Dr. Palmieri's bulletin dates
some two weeks back, and the cable
has not yet informed ns of any erup-
tion, but we may bear of it any day
and simultaneously with' its announce'
ment there will be an hegira of English
and American tourists from all parts of
Europe to the vicinity of the volcano.

The Centennial Building.
The General
nan a Sketched
Woman,
It is proposed, says aladr correspond
ent, to erect a building oovering thirty
aores, and yet so devised that more
than half of it is visible from the centre
at onoe an effect made evident to the
eye by a pink and white cambrio map
wherein the lobster-like pint projec
tions represent the visible area. Oct
side this vast building is a great paral
lelogram ; inBide it is broken up into
pillars sixty feet square, and such is
the arrangement of the roof, in small
domes, that each of these pillars en
closes an open space reaching up to the
sky itself, bright with grass and flowers
and musical fountains. Yet the area
is so intense that these enclosed courts
appear only like ordinary pillars. The
ceneral plan is of aisles radiating from
an elliptical centre, crossed by other
Hisles encircling this same centre.
The outside of the whole building
measures 1,876 feet, the open space in
side 1.776 feet. Ontside. there are
domes and cupolas, projections and em
brasures, and, crowning all, a dome of
such singular construction that you for
get it is 500 feet high, and notice only
that, instead of following the ordinary
plan of domes and settling down upon
the building with an immense base too
suggestive of solidity to hint of grace,
this one is contracted at the bottom, a
sort of an irregularly shaped octagonal
globe resting upon one of its sides and
supported by pillars whioh seem to bind
it to the building beneath. You think
of a solidified balloon, and then you
think it is much prettier than that
would be. You are thankful for the
variety, at least ; you are speedily in
love with this variation, and you are
amazed to be told that the Oapitol
dome might mount upon itself and still
peer upward unavailingly to the crown
of this aspiring summit.
You may easily exhaust one after an
other the whole round of favorable ad
jectives in describing the building, and
find the last circumscribed and unsatis
factory. The wonder of it lies in the
fact that it is a temporary building ;
that an architectural pile whioh is the
growth of ages past or the pet of future
centuries should be all that att and
money can combine to make it is no
great marvel. That this structure
neither equals nor resembles the world-
famous and time-defying architectural
standards is an evidence of its
fitness to its purpose ; moreover, it
is American in every sense, and it de
serves the commendation of the people
of America. Dr. William Carpenter
has somewhere called common sense
the resultant of the whole previous
action of our minds. Perhaps this
building might be called solidified
American common sense the resultant
of all the variety of inside force and
outside circumstance that for a hundred
years has molded our country into what
it is.
The Story of an Owl.
Our old friend, James Case, says the
Hath county, Ky A'cws, tells the fol
lowing strange owl story: It seems that
Mr. James Warner, residing near Mr,
C.'s, has been doing a considerable
amount of trappiug for the last few
months. While setting his traps some
time ago, he concluded that he would
bait for a large bird which he believed
bad been bothering his chioken-roo
of late davs. He accordingly did so.
and upon the morning after, upon going
to visit his traps, was much surprised
at finding one of them gone bait and
trap both gone, and no owl : but the
sequel is to come. The other morning,
Mrs. Rogers, who lives some ten miles
away from Mr. Warner's, hearing some
disturbance in the hon-house among
the chickens, arose quickly, and taking
light, went out to see what was the
matter with them, thinking it was
a fox. By making a careful
and sudden effort, she succeeded in
catching the object, and, to her great
surprise, found it was a huge owL But
the strange part is to come. Attached
to the owl was Mr. Warner's trap and
about ten inches of chain. It seems
that two teeth were broken out of the
steel trap, and jnst where the teeth
were broken out the jaws af the trap
had nrmly held the leg of the bird, cut
ting all around quite to the bone, but
without injuring the latter. The leg,

However, dj ims lime, was recovered
and well, the wound having had ample
time to cure during the two months
that had passed since the owl first flew
away with the trap. What wonderful
tenacity of life exhibited by the bird!
What tortures must have torn the poor
owl as he passed along his way drag
ging the terrible trap and chain!
Already Engaged.
In Cincinnati they tell a little story
about Mrs. Chief-Justice Waite. About
a month ago, before General Grant had
broached Mr. Waite's name to the Sen
ate before anything was thought of
the matter by the Waites, Mrs. Waite
wrote an article on cookery for the Cin
cinnati Gazette. The article was sign
ed " Yankee Cook Girl." It was full of
sound suggestions on the cookery ques
tion, and replete with good advice to
housekeepers. The article from the
" Yankee Cook Girl " arrested so much
attention that finally a rich old widower
in Cincinnati wrote to Sam Beed, the
editor, that he would be glad to give
the "Yankee Cook Girl " a situation
not as a servant, but she might preside
over his household. In fact, he offered
marriage. Mr. Beed had to answer in
a paragraph that the " Yankee Cook
Girl " was not in the market, she having
got a situation in a neighboring city.
The people of Cincinnati don't know
oven now that the " Yankee Cook Girl "
was Mrs. Waite. the sensible and prao
tical wife of the new Chief Justice, and
that her new situation is to be the high'
est in the land obief mistress in Uncle
Bam s household of law and justice.

A Romance of the White Honse.
The "Old, Old Story Why President
Bnchanan Never Married.
Many years ago a lawyer in the
Quaker City, poor and unknown to fame,
fell in love with a beautiful young lady
of Baltimore, and his love being reoip
rocated, an engagement ensued.
The mother of the young lady, bow
ever, did not view the engagement with
satisfaction or pleasure. Indeed, she
heartily disapproved of it, for the young
lawyer was altogether too poor and ob
scure to marry into one of the wealthiest
and most aristooratio of Baltimore
families. This, at least, was the opinion
of the young girl's mother, who, being
very ambitions and correspondingly
proud, desired that ner daughter snonid
wed some person prominent either in
this or some other country.
She brought all her influence to bear
upon the girl, and did all she possibly
could to induce her to give up her
lover, but failing, she resorted as
mothers have done before to deception
and other contemptible means to break
off the engagement. Letters were in-
tercepted,handwntingimitated,8ervanra
bribed and falsehoods circulated pro
miscuously. The natural and inevita
ble result was that a misunderstanding
arose between the betrothed for which
neither in reality was responsible. One
dav the lawyer received a note written
in the handwriting of his fiancee, BO'
eompanied by a packet of letters and a
box of trinkets. The note stated that
the writer had, upon careful considera
tion and thought! decided that she did
not love him as a woman about to be
his wife should, and for this and other
reasons begged to be released from her
engagement. .
The blow was a hard one, and for a
long time the lawver felt its effects
acutely. Under the impression that he
had been jilted because he was poor and
unknown, he determined to become ncu
and famous, and forthwith commenced
. . . . . . ... ,
his "noble life." iiow wen ne succeed
ed the nation knows, for in 184.- he was
made Secretary of State, Minister to
England, and a few years later was
elected President of the United States.
Meanwhile his first love married a very
rich merchant of Philadelphia, much
against her own will and only at the re-
Eeated and prolonged solicitations of
er mother. The marriage was not a
happy one, for the wife neither loved
nor respected her husband. Her cup of
bitterness was full when she neara oi
the election of her lover as President,
and her mother's cup was quite over
flowing. She plunged into social dissi
pation in the hope of forgetting her
sorrows. For two or three seasons she
was the talk of the Qnakei City, where
she went to reside with her husband,
and where their first child was born.
Her entertainments were of unusual
elegance, her costumes marvels of
richness and beauty, and her equipage
the finest ever seen on Walnut street.
By and by scandal circulated about
her. Mrs. Grundy said she neglected
her family, and slanderously accused
her of transferring her affections to a
gentleman who is now United States
Minister at a European city. One by
one her friends fell off, and ultimately
she was snubbed most directly and re
peatedly. She left her husband and
went home to her mother in Baltimore,
where in a few months she died of con
sumption, brought on by excessive and
protracted dissipation. Her cruel and
unnatural mother never ceased to berate
and upbraid her for not marrying the
lawyer, when she herself, by intercept
ing and forging letters, broke off the
match. Her last hours were spent in
religious exercise, and it is related that
she wrote to her true and faithful lover,
who, when she died, was an ex-President,
James Buchanan, asking forgive
ness, and stating that she had never
ceased to love him with all her heart
and soul.
This most romantic story is vouched
for by reliable parties as true in every
particular, although for obvious reasons
all the names are omitted. The story has
a moral, and there are many women in
society to-day who had best apply it.
Truth, indeed, is stranger than fiction.
Voting Aid to a Deserving Man.
In 1849, when so many adventurous
spirits took up the cry of " Westward,
Ho I" a party of seventy, comprising
men, women, and children followed the
star of our empire and faced the dan
gers of the overland route. When near
the end of their journey, and the gold
en shores of the Pacific seemed almost
beneath the tread of their weary feet,
they were overtaken by one of those
terrible snow storms which two winters
ago blocked the way of the iron horse
on the Union Pacific, and they were
compelled to bivouao in the wilderness.
intrenched in snowdrifts, which formed
a rampart around them, more terrible
and secure than the granite bank of
fortress and bastile, days and nights
were spent in this position until their
supplies were all consumed, and not
even a horse remained to appease the
cry of hunger. Starvation stared them
in the face, and death in its most fright
ful form seemed inevitable. Nothing
remained for them to eat save one of
themselves, and this was finally resolved
upon. Accordingly the largest and
stoutest of the men was selected as the
first victim, and he was seized and
bound to a tree and time given him to
prepare for death, in the meantime
the people of California, hearing of the
misfortune whioh befel the expedition,
endeavored to save them. The Military
Governor sent a company of United
States troops to their relief, but they
failed to find them, and, save the cap
tain and lieutenant, all perished in the
attempt, and the captain subsequently
died from the hardships he had en
dured. Then the Governor called for
volunteers, and promised a reward to
those who should do successful. Thirty
six volunteered, but ere the journey
was well undertaken, all but one de
clined to go. This was a Mr. Pietn,
citizen of Illinois, who was successfully
engaged in mining. Taking two span'
isb half-breeds, with cattle and pro
visions, he set out on his almost hope
less expedition, and after enduring ter
rible hardships, heaven and his own
iddomitable pluck crowned his efforts
with suocess, and he reached the camp
in time to save the life of the intended
victim and those of the entire party,
whom he piloted in safety to then des
tination. Mr. 1'ietn spent some 817.
000 all he had on the'expedition, and
now in his old age days he asks his
country, through Congress, to recom
pensehim. The Committee on Claims
unanimously reported the bill, granting
the old man $5,000, and the House, after
a long debate, almost unanimously
votea tne sum named.
Twenty-one years ago a young lady

Telegraphy.
The annual report of the Western
Union Telegraph Company for the year
ending June 80th, 1873, which was pub
lished during the early part of the late
panic, attracted less attention than it
would otherwise have received, less than
its importance demanded. Although
this company is a private corporation.
managed and controlled by a few large
stockholders solely as a money-making
ailair, yet there are few matters entrust
ed to the General Government of great
er general interest. There is necessarily
entrusted to it the most important cor
respondence, both mercantile and finan
cial, A large banking business is trans
acted by its bureau for the transler of
money.
Prices in all the pnnoipal marts of
the country for all articles of merchan
dise are regulated by the daily reports
from its commercial bureau. In con
nection with the Associated Press, it
collects, collates, and furnishes to the
daily papers all over the country their
telegraphic dispatches, the most impor
tant news they publish, the first and
often the only part of the paper read.
It has become the edncator of the peo
ple, and its influence is daily extending,
until it has become essential to the sue
cess of many departments of business.
It has over 150,600 miles of wire stretch
ing along every l ail way and reaching
every important place, its annual re
ceipts are nearly $10,000,000, a larger
amount than the irost-oiuce department
received ten years ago. A corporation
wielding such immense power is not a
private company, but one in which
every citizen has a direct and personal
interest.
The average rate of messages has
been reduced in six years from $1.10 to
61 cent 8 and the business has been
doubled. The great reduction in rates
has been followed by a slight increase
in the net income of the company.
The average rate is still much higher
than in any other country, and so high
as to prevent the use of the telegraph
by any except the rich and those com-
Eelled to use it. The report says that
eretofore the competition from rival
lines has been the most potent cause in
operation for compelling the company
to reduce its rates ; but that it is now
relieved from all fear from this service,
as it has recently purchased nearly all
the opposition lines, and at the present
rates " it is impossible for any com
peting company to realize profits, and
all are believed to be operating at a
loss, and the time is not distant, there
fore, when the company will be with
out a substantial competitor."
From this frank and public statement
it appears that a change will now be
made in its policy, and that the publio
cannot expect further reductions in
rates.
Abroad the telegraph is connected
with the post-office, and the people use
it freely as they do the mails. We do
not believe, however, that our Govern
ment should interfere in private mat
ters, nor that the power of the Execu
tive should be enlarged ; but the duty
of transmitting correspondence was de
volved upon Congress by the founders
of our Kepublie, and, as it has wisely
undertaken this business, and per
formed it to the satisfaction of the
people, there is every reason why it
bouid now adopt this, the latest, im
provement for its rapid transmission.
it is often said that corporations can
perform any business cheaper than the
Government. Admitting the general
truth of this proposition, it yet does
not apply to the telegraph, for the agen
cies now employed by the Post-office
Department for receiving and deliver
ing letters would be used for the tele
graphic lottor. Tho prooone clorka
could perform an tne nmce business,
thus greatly reducing the expenses, if
the Postmaster-General was authorized
to contract for the transmission of tele
grams, as he now contracts for the
transmission of the mails, at rates fixed
by Congress.
A bill for tue purpose of connecting
the telegraph wit . the Post-office De
partment authorizing the Postmaster-
Lieneral to contract for the transmission
of telegrams, was repotted by commit
tees of the senate and Mouse of Repre
sentatives at the last Congress. This
proposition, we presume, will come up
for action the ensuing winter and we
trust will become a law. The rates
fixed by the bill are nearly 50 per cent,
below present charges, while the
length of the telegram is 80 per cent.
gieater. .Night telegrams will be trans
mitted at a still greater reduction.
The charge of a telegraphic letter of
25 words sent by night 1,500 miles or
less will be only 25 cents. Such low
rates will make the telegraph a publio
blessing, bring it within the reach of all,
and enable the press to establish new
and independent news associations. We
shall refer again to this subject. The

A Huge Beer Product.
The Reading Eaale says: Our neigh
borinsr counties are making estimates
of their malt liquor production of last
year, and if the following figures are
reliable the lierKs county Drewers are
in advance on the production of last
year. Lancaster county is set down for
25.000 barrels, Bchuvlkill county. 30.
000 ; Luzerne county, 25,000, and by a
careful estimate Berks county can be
set down at 2)5.000 barrels.
The crops furnishing the basis for
malt liquors are said to have failed last
year, and as a consequenoe oi una a
majority 01 tne Drewers nave announced
an advance of one dollar per barrel.
Last year the average sum received
per barrel was 810. which would make
the cross wholesale receipts about
8350.000.
At present the brewers are engaged
in niiinsr their mammoth ice reing'

brewing, for this is one of their busiest
seasons.
A reference to the revenue of this
production may be of interest. Take
our produce of last year at 35,000 bar'

commanded 8350.000. The retail re

may be increased to a greater figure
than now.

Dickens' Boys. Dickens divided
boys into two categories mealy-faced
boys and beef-faced boys. To this lat
ter complexion must come at last a
youth whose peculiarities form the
subject of a paragraph in a Scotch
paper. A boy twelve years of age has
been found guilty at Campbeltown of
stealing 150 pounds of beef. This
aggregate was obtained by a series of
dexterous thefts, carried on so systema
tically and successfully as to produce
something like a panio among the
butchers. Although spies were set to
discover the perpetrator of tbsse raids,
the lad contrived for some time to cut
choice slices at will from the finest
carcasses in the slaughter-house. He
was sent to prison for thirty days, a
victim to a lower form of the passion
for prime beef.

Dear Dr. Pierce:
When I was 13 or 15 rears of ace f took what
is called King's Evil, and by constant doctoring
it would heal in one place and break out in an
other. It also broke out in my left ear. I first
found your name in the Christian Advocate, and
sent ten miles for the first bottle, which did me
more good than all other medicines I ever used
1 am 28 years old and doctored liii nve doc
tors, and not one of them helped me so much
as your bottle of Discovery. I have got well
and able to do a good day'B work.

epar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chieti from the na

the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted tnenrrom witnout tne use
of Alcohol. Th9 question is almost
daily asked, " Whax: is the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters t" Our answer Is, tint they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and Invlgorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of tbe world has a medicine been
compounded posseming the remarkable
qualities ot Vikkoar Bittkbs in hcnling the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
