writes from
LancnsttT to the Hartford Post :
"I have picked up a fuw anecdote of Ste
vens and bis Di'igbbor l!uclmnnn.
' Mr. James Sbuak, a ) in law of Jerry
Black, relates Hint ho was engngMl by the
ex-Prt'sidcnt. to prepare some nnocdoles and
Sketches of his life. Mr. Shunk found this
Usk very onerous by renson of the extreme
jealousy of Mr. Uuchanau as to what should
be printed of him. He possessed no literary
attainments of the prompt, readable news

of the manuscript the old jr.an rubbed bis
hands and laughed in his flat cold Why.

"A sojourner at WheatlaifU, in tho latter

the oilier day, this quaint and recognizable
incident of tho rx-Prcsident :

third party. lie felt for the intruder and
runiahed to spare him the scene.
"In half an hour S. hei.rd the old laugh,
cold and low and measured, of tho Preai
dent. lie peeped in nnd found that the
man had completely conquered Buchanan,
so that they were getting on even humor
ously together.

wasn't so bad a man, after all !'
MT.YKNR, DUl'HANAN" AND TIIE DOlTOltS.
"Btevens and Buchanan were attended in
lifo and to the end by Dr. Carpenter, a
democrat, whom some rabid people once
advised btevens to put away because of the
value ol' his life to the country, nnd the
danger of a copperhead pill. The old man
opened his door :
" 'Go out '.' he said, 'Dr. Carpenter is my
friend. If you begin to interfere in my
household economy uocl knows where you
will stop.'
"Steveus sent Buchanan books aud favors
from Washington down to the last. Old
Buck said, in reply to the bystanders :
" 'Tbaddeug and I ought to be friends,
but it's his fault. It pleased Providence, in
his iu scriilnhle will to cfeuto Thaddcus
with a good head and a good heart, but hu
left the moral pnrt out of him.'
"Dr. Carpenter relates that Stevens took
all his medicine with a grim readiness, say
ing : 'Well, just fix up anything, nnd I'll
jrwullow it.'
"Mr. Buchanan hated medicine, and tried
to avoid it. He died of gout, und was
obliged to shorten bis ryo whiskey rations
nt the last punch to his chagrin ; but Ste
vens never drank from middle lifo to the
(lose thereof without the doctor's orders.
Il Iiiul been kent alivo during the whole of
the last Congress by stimulants."
A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Com

"When bo camo to Lancaster, be made
up his mind never to drink again, and this
he kept till bis iihysicians forced upon him
Frank's beer and Mishler's bitters, aud other
Lancaster beverages. He left bis estate so
that his nephew, who is fond of tho bowl,
shall only yet it upon a long and successful
temperance probation. Steveus has often
suit! of liquor;
" 'I have no bate of it, but an abiding
feur of it. It is responsible fur death, bla
very, prejudice, nnd all the other democra
tic monumcuts.'
"At the same time, Mr. Stevens was in
consistent enough to uso beer nnd whiskey
liberully in electioneering. I have talked to
two or three of his constituents to whom be
would sny :
" 'James, you must go to Frank's some
times It is coming on election time. If
you see some of my friends up there, just
treat them, and scud me ths bill.' "

''Edward McPherson told mo of the in

proclamation. Many months before it ap
peared he made a speech urging absolute
and immediate enfranchisement, aud this be
sent to the President. Some days after
ward be hobbled up to the White House,
where hu found Lincoln perusing this docu

directly, sayiug :
"'Ah I Thud, I guess we'll have to come

" 'You ought to have come up to it long
ago !' said Stevens, bluntly.

"Ma was an uncompromising hater of
masses of men am! ot the tubas they held,
but hated few individuals. Said Buchan
an, his constituent :
"Thaddetis and I ought to have been
friends, but it's not my fault. He not only
sends to me from Washington the publio
documents, but be buys books and sends
tbeiu to me."
"And then Bucbanan relapsed into bis
soliloquy upon the moral part of Tuaddeus
so inscrutably omittea, wliereas, lu tact, it
was he who took offunce at Stevens, and de

"But once, at Lancaster, a Hcrnli report

when one ol -Steven' law students (Mr.
Dickey, I believe.) Clipped nut and got a

office, concealed, took down the wholo of
the remarks of all the parties."
Itrltill icinocracy.
The entire rebel population of the
South is with tho Democratic party. The
rebel! are at Ica9t nine-tenths cf the entire
White population. Tlieso rebels mnke up
about one-third of tho entire Democratic
party. They were represented at New York
by the same men who led them in the field.
They were received with respect and consi
deration, and even deferred to by their
Northern friends. There was entire unani
mity between them end the other delegates,
and they even dictated tho platform in some
particulars.
Governor Perry, of South Carolina, snys:
"There was no difference of opinion on any
subject between the northern And southern
delegates."
"They are united as a band of patfiots,"
"The southern delegates determined to be
reticent in the Convention, and take no
prominent part in the proceedings ; while
northern deleuates said to them, on the nih
licet of your peculiar ariecan.ee and avvrtmom.
not tax them as property, but I would hecauite

The Mobile Tribune, in urging its readers
to ratify the New York nominations, said :
"Friends Fellow citizens of Mobile
Comrades of tho Queen City of the Gulf!
Let us make one more effort in behalf of our
riglits and liberties, if ire are tuceeietnl tn

around the dear old flag, which we have
followed so often to honor and victory. Let
us plant our standard in the midst of the
field, and let us once more raise the tear cry
'bo who doubts is damned ; he who dailies
is a dastard.'"
At Lit tlo Bock, Arkansas, Mr. C. 8. Cam
eron, a delegate to tho New York Conven
tion, declared :
"In sixty davs from the adjournment of
tho Convention five hundred thousand sol
diers would be organized into companies,
regiments, brigades, nnd army corps, ready,
if need be, to march to Washinston. We
send three votes into the Electoral College.
and three Bepresentatives to Congress, mid

staid after the 12th ; the balance left the
12th ; Irishmen wero stopping at other

occurred at my school a few days ago. The
eagles have been very troublesome in the

off pigs', lambs, eto. No one thought that
they would attempt to prey upon children ;
but on Th'uriduy, at recess, the little boys'
were out some distance from the house, play

by a large eagle- swooping down and picking
up litle JemmieEeriney, boy of eight years,
and flying away With him; The children
cried out, and when t got out of Chi house,
the eagle was so high that I could just hear
the child screaming. The alarm was given,

the eagle was induced' to' drop his victim ;

Liquid Manure. W believe there is no
system of enriching the land for small gar
dens, with a view to perfection of crops, so'
truly economical and so easily available as'
that of using liquid manure. We occasion
ally beaf of a gardener, or an amateur grow
er of some special plant of crop, that has
practiced enriching with liquids, but it is'
only occasionally ; jet tho result of every
record is in its favor, and a searching inquiry
into any extra production of fruit, flower,;
or plant almost inVariubly gives watering
with liquid manure as the cause. There is
li' a'lniost evi?y fam'ny waflte of liquids,
which usually go' into the sewer or drain, or.
possibly upon the road, where they are of
no avail, but if saved, by being conducted
to a tank', would enrich the entire garden
spot of vegetables, small fruits, furnish stim
ulus to the rose finer otner nower borders.
and keep the grass plat green and fresh
even in the hottest and driest weather of
luid-surumef. The use of a little plaster
(gypsum) occasionally thrown in and around
the tank, would always keep it. sweet andr
cfean. By the, tfte and practice of liefnid
manuring no delay need ever occur in plant
ing time because of the manure not being
on band, or not being iu a sufficiently rot
ted condition ; but planting could proceed,
and the application of manure be mad at
leisure. The Agriculturist:

Jilt Item for Thee' Cfnow ERs. Charles'
Downing ssys that be once witnessed a re
markable change produced on the body of
a pear tree by mean of wrapping it in straw.'
Tlie tree was a Brown Beurre, grafted about
seven feet high from the ground, upon a
stock which for years had not grown at ra
pidly atf graft, and presented a decided
bulge or swelling at the j unction of the graft.
This smaller portion was incased in straw
about two inches thick, and at the end of
two seasons it was found on removing th
straw fhc.1 the 6oh'tiiacted or heretofore
smaller stem had swollen to the full size of
the graft above, presenting but a slight in
dication o? the poiut of union between graft
and etocW.
This is an item of interest, add many tree
growers who nave trees wnn contracted,
stems, evidence of some natural want of
affinity witji the graft, may find in it a hint
fur practical use. We have ourselves prac
tised wrapping the stem of Morello cherries,
wheu worked at a hfignt ol two or ture
