Better Farming,
A writer in the Country Gentleman
furnishes the followins:
My text is better farming. My brother
rarmers will say, why not advocate good
iarmtng irst, because 1 wish to ad
vocate what is practically within the
reach of every farmer, no matter what
his situation. Ho need not wait until
next month or another year, or for more
means, or something to turn up but
may commence to-day to farm better,
Good farming generally is in the far
mutant future : it is a work of vears,
We need not cive ourselves anv trouble
about good farming ; if we only persist
in better farming, we shall arrive most
certainly at that in time.
One great reason why we do not have
neuer larming is because larmers are
tatisfled with measuring themselves by
themselves, and comparing themselves
among their neighbors ; they do not go
forward. I should like to write what
would make farmers dissatisfied, not
with farming, but with the manner in
whioh they are farming. A farmer who
is satisfied is of no benefit to ttie farm
ing community by his example. When
a man is satisfied" we need not look for
improvement. I would say for the en
couragement of those who desire to
become good farmers, that by being
better farmers is the only way to attain
to tne men position of eoocl farmers,
To those who do not I have nothing to
say, as they are not worth talking to as
larmers ; they may be as good men as
there are in the world, but as farmers
they are of no good to the cause.
Planting Apples..
George Plumb, Franklin County, N,
Y., asks: " Will it pay to set an apple
oronara of ntty acres in i rauklm county,
N. Y., and if so, what varieties of trees
. and what proportion of each? Also,
how eld should the trees be when set,
and what distance apart, and should the
trees be raised ironi the seed or root
grafted ? The trees to be set on newly
cleared land."
Beply. There is no property that is
more certain of large profits than an
apple-orchard. From a four-acre orchard
of Northern Spy apples, a prominent
iarmer near itochester. JN. X.. last sea'
son sold over $1,200 worth of fruit. If
there is any crop that would have paid
better we do not know of it. But he
knows how to take care of an orchard
and if every orchard in the country was
cared for as his is, apples would be sold
for $1 a barrel. But that will never
happen. Now, it is impossible to say
what varieties of trees should be planted
without knowing the exact soil, ex
posure, and various other matters,
respectable nurseryman would give
competent opinion upon that. The
trees should be raised in a nursery, and
when one year old set out forty feet
apart and top-grafted to the varieties
chosen. The ground should be culti
vated for a few years with corn, pota
toes, or turnips.
How to Jlleaiurc the Length ol a Tree
Take a forked stick : measure the
length so that it will come exactly up
to your eyes : then measure the length
of your timber wpnted say forty feet
in a line out from the tree and allow
for the stump : then pet up your stake,
lay down on your back with your heels
at the stake ; look through the stake,
and the place where the eye strikes the
tree will be the length of the timber,
The ground ought to be level ; if not,
allowance can be made.

fatally crippled bv tne repeal or. tne irauKing

newspapers of tho couutry were the best real
exponents of public opinion. A man who
climbed to the fifth story of a metropolitan
newspaper office at 11 o clock at uigut and
slashed off an editorial and sent it off to the
couutry, called that the public sentiment of the
American people. In country newspapers the
editor, a quiet sensible man, who in the course
of the week san men from every township in
the county, and bad his mind tilled with the
best thoughts of his county, wrote notices and
editorials in the course of the week which gave
more of the public sentiment of that county
than all the metropolitan journals in the
United States could give of that county. The
repeal of the frank threatened to carry down a
very large number of country papers that
could hardly live if the present order of things

Cossack MAncriiTrcs.
Writing from St. Petersburg, the
London Times' correspondent says :
" After the review the Princes drove off
to the Michael Manege, where the Em
peror's Circassian and Cossack body
guard went through their feats. These
wild horsemen gave us some scenes of
their predatory warfare, exhibiting a
skill and activity perfectiy marvelous.
One after another, they galloped by the
rrincps, shouting fierce warwhoops and
firing their long pistols and flint-locks
at imaginary foes. They seemed to
discharge their weapons in every posi
tion but from the saddle. Hanging on
one side of the horse till the head almost-grazed
the ground, and taking a
leisure aim under the animal's belly,
seemed the favorite attitude." One cava
lier wont by at speed standing on his
head in his saddle ; others leaped on
and off their horses with the ease of
circus riders. The manege soon so
filled with smoke that it might well, for
all we could see, have been some moun
tain defile, and the body-guard a band
of robber knights swooping down on
some village or caravan, or on the party
of peaceable travelers represented by
the Grand Duke Nicholas, the Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, and
Prince Arthur. The Czarevna and the
Princess of Wales were there also, and
altogether the wild riders would have
made a good day's work of it had they
been brigands of the Steppe instoad of
the faithful body-guard of the Emperor.
Admiral Popoff told me it was a fine sight
to see 1.C00 of these horsemen play
ing their warlike pranks for miles and
miles about the imperial cavalcade when
the Grand Duke Constantino was
traveling in the Caucasus. They always
turn out in honor of a member of the
imperial family, going through "e
whole drama of their war -long the
road. Once or twice they divided and
fought a battle among themselves. Half
of them made their horses lie down,
and crouched behind the animals, the
long barrels of the flint-guns pointing
in the direction of the enemy. Pres
ently the assailants came riding out of
the curtain of smoke with fierce cries,
opening'a glorious Are in all directions.
Every one must have been killed, spec
tators included, before the bauds dis
entangled themselves from each other,
and retired attain to opposite ends of
the manege to take breath and measure
powder for another onslaught. It was
a picturesque ana inspiring sigui., as
utterly opposed to the precision and
science of modern warfare as anything
well could could be. The costumes.
the arms, the men, and the hors?s who
carried them all were wild and strange,
telling us of a nation of warriors who
knew not barrack yards and schools of
musketry, but who knew right well
how to light in their own wild way. In
real fighting these hue fellows, one may
suppose, ate not quite so gamesome as
in the Michael Manege. Probably, for
instance, the trooper who rode with his
head in lus saddle and his feet in the
air would reserve that attitude till the
day was over, and till he might safely
indulge in the transports of victory,
One of the Circassians, a burly man up
on a white horse, was a son of the great
Schamvl. He was presented to the
Prince of Wales at the conclusion of
spectacle. More than one of tho Rus
sian officers present wore decorations
earned in frontier warfare with such
cavalry as those before us."

Origin of Newspaper!.
An Interfiling fiketrtt ot the Early Days
or the mil.
We are indebted to the Italians for
the idea of newspapers. The title of
their gazctta was perhaps derived from
gazzera, a magpie or chatterer ; or more
prooauiy irom a farming coin, peculiar
to the city of Venice, called gazctta,
which was the common price of the
newspapers. Another etymologist is
for deriving it from the .Latin aaza.
which would colloquially lengthen into
gazetla, and signify a treasury of news,

gaza, and likewise their gazelcro and
our gazetteer for a writer of tho gazette,
and, what is peculiar to themselves,
gazctlsta for a lover of the gazette.
.Newspapers, then, took their birth in
that principal land of modern politi
cians, Italy, and under the government
of that aristocraticol republic, Venice.
The first paper was a Venetian one ; but
it was merely tho newspaper of the gov
ernment. Other governments after
wards adopted the Venetian plan of a
newspaper, with the Venetian name.
From a solitary government gazette,
an inundation of newspapers has burst
upon us.
Those who first wrote newspapers
were called by the Italians menanti,
because, says" Vossius, they intended
commonly by loose papers to spread
about defamatory reflections, and were
therefore prohibited in Italy by Gregory
XIII, by a particular bull, under the
name of menantcs, from the Latin
minantee, threatening. Minage, how
ever, derives it from the Italian menare,
winch sismues to lead at large or spread
afar.
Tho first newspaper in the British

Periodical papers seems first to have

sentiments of loyalty or rebellion, ac
cording as their authors were disposed.

Iu the reiga of Queen Anne there

Sir Richard Steele formed the plan of
his "Father." He designed it to era
brace the threo provinces of morals and
manners, of literature and politics.
The public were to be conducted in
sensibly into so different a traok from
that to which they had been hitherto
accustomed : hence politics were ad
mitted into the paper. But it remained
for tho chaster genius of Addison to
banish the painful topics from his ele
gant pages. Tho writer in polite let
ters felt himself degraded by sinking
into the diurnal narrator of political
events which so frequently originate in
rumors and party faction. From this
time, newspapers and periodical litera
ture became distinct works.

Frightened to Death.
It is well known now that small-pox
existed for some weeks in a store on
Centre street, Pottsville, Pa., and com
mitted great ravages in the family circle
of that storekeeper. Among the cus
tomers who dealt at his store were two
men, one a well-to-do storekeeper at
Auburn, and the other from Cressona.
Oae day the Auburn man came to this
store, bought a stock of goods, and in
going out noticed that the doors and
windows were closed. He asked the
reason of this funeral appearance of
things. "Why," said some one, "don't
you know that they have small-pox
there ?" At this intelligence the heart
of the Auburn man sank within inru,
he was at once seized with pains, went
home, and died of small-pox in three
days. The fate of the Cressona man
was almost exactly similar. He entered
the same store, was informed of the
existence of small-pox there, was dread
fully frightened, and went home to die
of small-pox.
Cane Breton Driving.
Our conveyance was a one-horse
wagon, with one seat. The horse was
well enough, but the seat "was narrow
for three people, and the entire estab
lishment had in it not much prophecy
of Baddeek for that day. But we knew
little of the power of Capo Breton driv
ing. It became evident that we shouli'
reach Baddeek soon enough, if we could
cling to that wagon seat. The morning
sun was hot. The way was so uninter
esting that we almost wished ourselves
back in Nova Scotia. The sandy road
was bordered with discouraged ever
greens, through which we had glimpses
of sand-drifted farms. If Baddeek was
to be like this, we had come on a fool's
errand. There were some savuge, low
hills, and the Judique Mountain show
ed itself as we got away from the town.
In this first stage, the heat of the sun,
the monotony of the road, and the
scarcity of sleep during the past thirty
six hours, were all unfavorable to our
keeping on the wagon seat. We nodded
separately, we nodded., and reeled in
unison, uut, asleep or awaKc, tne
driver drove like a son of Jehu. Such
driving is the fashion on Cape Breton
Island. Especially down-dill, we made
the most of it; if the horse was on a
run, that was only an inducement to
apply the lash; speed gave the promise
of greater possible speed. The wagon
rattled like a bark mill : it swirled and
leaped about, aud we finally got the ex
citing impression that if the -whole
thing went to pieoes, we should some
how go on such was our impetus,
Round corners, over ruts and stones.
and up hill and down, we went jolting
and swinging, holding fast to the seat,
and putting our trust in things general.
At tho end of fifteen miles, we stopped
at a Sootch farm-house, where the driver
kept a relay, and changed horses.

A Lucky Hit.
A French noblomnn, observing his
tenant about to destroy a fine, thrifty
pear tree, inquired the cause, lie was
told that it was a chance seedling, and
had borne no fruit in twenty-five years.
He had already cut its roots preparatory
to the first stroke, but was ordered to
let it remain. He did so, and in the
following year it was loaded with su
perb fruit of an entirely unknown vari
ety, which at once became celebrated.
Tho root pruning the gardener had
given it worked like a charm. Not
many years afterward the Duchess
d AnKonleme was passing inrougu tne
city of Lyons, and its inhabitants sent
to ner meir nospiiaiiuet). wins iuir
maidens presented the Duchess with
golden salvers, on which lay heaped this
precious fruit, and begged hit to be
stow on it her name; and the pear now
recognized as the crowning glory of all
fruits was thenceforward known as the
Duchess d Angouleme.
A Dream and What Came of It.
Mr. John Eiswirtii. a resident of
Ilartford, Conn., is a German by birth.
He came to this country in 1818, bring
ing his wife with him. They had been
here about a year when they received a
letter stating that a brother of Mrs.
Eiswirth was cn route to America. But
from that time to this they have never
seen their relative. Up to the time ol
the war they expected he would turn up
some time; but when the unhappy civil
strife swept over the land, and peace
came again, and yet no tidings of the
missing man, he was mourned as lost ;
and as the years rolled by, if not actu
ally forgotten, uis late was a mystery
which it was thought never would be
explained.
And now comes a singular occurrence
in connection with the case. About
three weeks ago Mr. Eiswirth had a
dream. He thought he was seated in a
enr at the depot on Asylum street. He
didn t want to go anywhere, but in
epite of this feeling he was rolled out
of tho depot and whirled away at light
ning speed, l o.il villages, towns, and
cities ; through valleys, over rivers and
plains on I with a rush and a roar,
stopping for nothing and heeding noth
ing. It seemed to the dreamer that he
was being carried, much against his
will, thousands of miles from home.
Why it was so, he had not the faintest
conception. He was under a mysteri
ous influence that chained him to his
seat and made him a slave of its power.
At last the train slackened its speed
and came to a halt, and John found
himself moving along with the passen
gers who were makin? tw ; t.uu
the cam wneu once outside, he dis
covered that he was in a strange city
and among strangers. He asked a man
where ha was. He was told " St
Louis."
" But," says John, " I live iu Hart
ford. I want nothing in St. Louis."
Tho stranger smiled and passed on,
leaving our Hartford friend as perplexed
as ever.
While standing in his tracks, wonder-
inor xvhat to do, he saw at a distance a
tlgure which sent a thrill of ioy throucrh
his frame. It was hia long lost brother-in-law.
It had been more than ; a
quarter of a century since John had set
eyes on him, and time had worked a
great change in his appearance ; but
for all that our friend recognized him,
and ran towards him hallooing at the
top of his voice, as if afraid he might
disappear. The meeting was a cordial
one, and the pair celebrated the event
in a stylish saloon, where foaming mugs
of lnger played a prominent part.
The next John knew ho found him
self awake at his home on Park street.
But his dream had made a strong im
pression, and do what he would lie
oould not forget it. . It haunted him all
the next day, aud when he got up the
next morning the remembrance of that
long ride anrt.happy meeting clung to
him still. That very day some clerk in
the Hartford Post-office might have
seen a letter addressed to Mr.
of St. J-iouis, with the instruction on
the end of the envelope, " If not called
for within ten days, return to John
Eiswirth, Hartfort, Ct,"
Mr. E. says that he sent the letter ad
dressed to his brother-in-law without
the remotest expectation of hearing
from him. He sent it to relieve his
mind, ns he confesses that tho singular
dream harassed him not a little. But
after the missive was sent ho dismissed
the matter from his mind, and might
never have thought of it again if some
thing startling had not occurred a day
or two since. John was at home with
his family when the postman came to
the door and delivered a letter. It was
postmarked St. Louis. It was torn
open with tremulous fingers, aud to
their great joy it was found to be from
their long lost relative, in answer to
tho letter which John had forwarded in
obedience to his dream. In a large
city like St. Liouis it wonld seem that
a letter lacking specified direction
might not reach its destination, but ol
course the chances are that it would go
straight to the mark, as it did in this
case. It appears by the letter that the
St. Louis German has been as much in
the fog as to his sister's and Eiswirth's
whereabouts as they have been in re
gard to him. The St. Louis man writes
that he shall soon como to this city on
a visit, and his iiartiora menus aro de
lighted at the prospect of a happy reunion.
Hack, Hack! Couch, Cough!
Cough is a symptom by whioh various
diseased conditions of the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But
whether it arises from the irritation produced
in the throat and larynx by taking cold, from
an attack of Bronchitis, from incipient Con
sumption, or from various other causes, noth
ing will allay it more speedily nor cure it more
permanently than Dr. rieroe's Golden Medical
Discovery. It does not matter whether it be a
recent attack, or a lingoring cough, the Dis
covery is in either case equally well adapted
for its relief and permanent cure. In fact, it
will cure a cough In one-half the time necessary
to cure it with any other medicine, and it does
it, not by drying it np, but by removing the
cause, subduing the irritation, and healing the
affected parts. No time should be lost in com
mencing the lire of proper medicine for the
relief of a Cough, for unless this course iB
pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the
lungs is liable to result.
DonTons soon learn its value.

Da. riF.ncR For the past six months I have
used your Golden Medical Discovery In my
practice, and in that time I have tested its
merits in sevore coughs, both acuto and
chronic, in chronic diseases of the throat,
severe cases of bronchitis, general dorange
mont of the system, constipated condition of
the bowels, and wherever a thorough alterative
has been indicated. In all cases I have found
it to act gently yet thoroughly and effectually
in removing the various diseased conditions
and bringing about a healthy astion throughout
the system. Yours fraternally,

What they Believe.
According to the, ortliodox creed of
Islam, women will be saved with men
and all be made young again all ex
cept one woman. Joseph, when Vice
roy of Egypt, was riding one day, when
an old woman seized his reins and de
manded alms. He turned to look at
her, and was so shocked at her appear
ance that he involuntarily exclaimed,
" How terriblv homely you are !"
" Then," said the old woman, why
don't you pray to God, who answers all
your prayers, and ask him to make me
beautiful 1" Whereupon Joseph lifted
up his hands and prayed for her, and
instantly beheld her standing by him,
young and 'lovely, so lovely that he
loved her and made her his wife. She
lived long after him, and died very
aged, and went to heaven, and is an old
woman there now, and the only old
woman there, for Qod makes all good
women young again onoe, aud she can
never be made young again.

the man who k&ps through the ex
changes, and rattles them when you
want to think, is to keep them in a bas
ket, and to throw worn out pens into
the same receptacle. We made this
discovery in au accidental way the other
afternoon, (having thrown a Gillott
there instead of out of the window)
when one of our numerous squires, who
was going turougli the basket, came up
to the surface screaming like a choir,
with a rusty pen driven under one ol
his nails, aud his face distorted by un
holy passion. We have caught three
more iu the same way since then, and
every one of them lost his presence of
