Machinery en the Farm.
Wc iinln Fitating'y assort tbat it is
not fo inucli in general unv. a it
tlioiilJ Jxi. Wc are expending1 too
much human and animal muscle where
metal and wood would serve a better
purpose. Wc go without a machine
U-causc it costs $100 oreven less.and
employ two men to d) the work
which tlie investment would enable
one man to perform. In so doin we
regard the value of the extra man ns
only $100, and as wc so regard him,
he is apt to underestimate his own
value, and his powers to a certain ex
tent lie undeveloped or dormant. Nor
is the laborer the only sufferer the
whole community is a loser; each
man has exerted but half his produc
tive capacity. In the West there has
ltccn more improvemeut in this re
spect than elsewhere. At the South
the constant cry is more labor, when
in reality the n!ed is more machinery,
and more brain to make it available.
We need to give employment to the
large unproductive element in the
.South, by introducing manufacturing
machinery, which they may operate.
And then we need to introduce ma
chinery on the farm to make our farm
force more effective.
The pitting of manual force against
Fteam or water power, or against labor-saving
machinery is recognized
among manufacturers as sheer folly ;
and it is every whit as much no upon
the farm as in the factory. We only
need educating up to the thinking
paint, to comprehend it.
The ireen t'oanlrymsn.
Years ago, into a wholesale gro
cery store in Ucistori walked a tall,
muscular looking, raw-boned man,
ev idently a fresh comer from some
Vat k town in Maine or New Hamp-
hire, accosting the first person he
met, who happened to be the mer
chant himself, he asked :
"You don't want to Lire a man in
your store, do you ?"
"Well," said the merchant, "I don't
know. What can you do ?"
"IoJv said the man; 'I tather
guess I can turn my hand to most
anything. What do you want done?"
"Well, if I was to hire a man, it
would be one that cold lift well, a
strong, wiry follow one, for instance,
that could shoulder a sack of cofue,
like that one yonder, and carry it
across the store and never lay it
down."
"There, now, captain," said our
couutrymuu, "that's just me. What
will von give a man that can suit
you f "
"I tell von," said the merchant, "if
you will shoulder that sack of coffee,
and carry it across the store, and
never lay it down, I will hire you for
a year at one hundred dollars per
month."
"Done," said the stranger ; and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around, and were waiting to
join in the laugh against the man,
who, walking to the Rack, threw it
across his shoulder with perfect case,
as it was not extremely heavy, and
walked with it twice across the floor ;
went quietly to a large hook which
was fastened into the wall, and, hang
ing the sack upon it, turned to the
merchant, and said :
"There, now, it may hangthere till
doomsday ; I shan't never lay it
down. What shall I go about,
mister ? .Just give me plenty to do.
and one hundred dollars a month, ami
its all right."
The clerks broke into a laugh, but
it was out of the other side of their
mouths; and the merchant, discomfit
ted et satisfied, kept to his agr"e
ment, and to-day the green country
man is the senior partner in the firm,
and worth half a million dollars.
provid r. ti A i.i. v in h i:ti:i.
Amoiisr ;lio attendants at a late
Methodist Conference was a large,
beautiful and intelligent looking
young lady, who drew the admiring
gaxe ;f mmy eyes, particularly mas
culine eyes, always on the lookout
for feminine faces. During the in
transmission at noon, a spruce young
minister stepped up to the presiding
elder and said, with an air of secrecy;
4I)id you observe the young lady
who sat bv the fir.-t pillar on the
left ?"
"Yes," said the elder; "What of
her?"
"Why," said the young man,"I
feel impressed that the Liord desires
me to take that ladj- for my wife. I
think she would make a good compan
ion and helpmate in the work of the
ministry."
The elder, as a good Christian
ought, had nothing to object.
Uut, in a few moments, another
candidate for ministerial efforts, hon
ors, and the. name of husband, came
confidentially to make known a like
iuipcssion regarding the same identi
cal young lady.
"You bad Utter wait a while. It
is not bcrt to be too hasty in deter
mining the source of such impres
sions," said the prudent elder.
And he said well, for hardly were
the steps of the second youth cold at
his side ere a third approached with
the same story, and while the worthy
confidant still marveled, a fourth drew
near, with the question:
"Did you notice the fine.noble-look-ing
woman on your left?"
'Yes," cried the swelling elder
"Well, sir," went on tbe fourth vic
tim of that unsuspicious girl, "it is
Krongly borne in upon my mind that
it is the will of the Lord that I should
make proKsals of marriage to the
lady. He has impressed me that she
U to be my wife."
The eldr could hold in no longer.
"Impossible! impossible!" he ex
claimed in an excited tone : "the Lord
never could have intended that four
men should marry that one woman!"

In the good old steamboat days, i
the steamboats plying between New
- w r . w ,1 .'w tT
uneans ana ct. IjOuis, uuu .cw vi
leans and Cincinnati, never made a
trip without carrying one or more
chevalier d'induntrir, who turned
any trick that came in Lis way, from
robbing a stateroom to wringing in a
flat on a cold deck in a game of draw
poker. The men were invariably
well dressed and gentlemanly, and
were rarely without a roll of $1,500
or $2,000. " They generally traveled
in pairs, as it was frequently possible
for one of the fakirs to render his
companion valuable assistance, espe
cially in a little game of draw, where
the dealer would stock the cards, slip
'the cut and deal in such a manner as
to give the man at his left a full hand,
but to furnish his partner with a
larger full. The victim, if smart,
would "tumble to the game and jump
it," after getting outrageously beaten
once or twice" on almost iuvincible
hands, but the blacklegs would al
ready have made enough to pay them
well for the trip. One of the most
noted of the professionals was Hum
phrey Davis, a small, dapper and
rather good looking man of perhaps
thirty years of age, who traveled al
most continually on the boats, but
made his home in New Orleans,
where Le supported a woman in luxu
rious style. He was not married to
her.but seemed to entertain an unusual
affection for her, and treated her with
the utmost tenderness, although he
was naturally cold and unscrupulous.
He weighed ouly 120 or 123 pounds,
but his word was never disputed by
his reckless companions, who knew
that he would brook contradiction or
interference from no one, and that his
hand readily foil on the hilt of a knife
or the handle of a revolver. Unlike
many of the others, he frequently
traveled alone, and was al-ayBlvady
test his f-kill in a game of poker
with one or more strangers, but the
profession a!s who knew him only by
reputation hesitated at trying to beat
IjIiii by illegitimate nieaus, well
knowing that, should the cheat be dis
covered, it would involve the loss of
their money, if not their lives.
On one occasion, when coming up
from New Orleans, Davis met a party
who expressed a desire to engage in a
little poker, and, as he manifested no
reluctance, they all adjourned to the
cabin after supper, and whecliuga ta
ble, commenced to play. One of the
party was a man standing over six
feet in his stockings, and a perfect
giant in muscle and strength. lie
had heard of Davis, but probably
underestimated his shrewdness or
courage, and determined to wiu his
money by raising cold bauds from his
lap and playing them. While he was
reserving material for an invincible
hand, Davis noticed it but said noth
ing, and the game went on. Finally,
Davis received a more than ordinarily
good hand, and bet fifty dollars ( ii it.
The giant adroitly changed the hand
given him for the reserve on his knee,
and thinking the manoeuvre had not
leen observed, raised the original bet
one hundred dollars more. Davis
saw the one hundred raise, and in
turn raised one hundred dollars. The
other, thinking he had a sure thing,
raised two hundred dollars more, and
so it went until $C00 or $700 were up,
and Davis called. The giant threw
the stolen hand on the table, and
Davis quietly remarked, after looking
at it, "That's a good hand."
The other assented, and reached to
draw the money in, when Davis said,
"Don't touch that just yet." -
"Why not " said Goliah, "I have
the best hand."
"I say, don't touch it," repeated
Davis, whose eyes were beginning to
gleam, although he was outwardly
calm and collected.
"Yes, I will touch it," said the
other in a sneering way, as he swept
the money towards him with his arms,
lie had barely placed his arms on the
table when Davis reached over the
table with his left hand and caught
him by the hair, while with his right
he drew a revolver and fired point
blank at his body. Although shot
through the chest the vitality of the
man was so remarkable that the
wound appeared to affect him but
little, and rising to his feet he caught
Davis by the hair with his right hand,
and throwing his right arm about
him, forced his head back with the in
tention, he afterwards said, of break
ing his neck. Davis comprehended
his design in nn instant, and, quick as
lightning, fired two shots into the
giaut's shoulder, completely crippling
his arm. He then sent another ball
through his left arm, and as he fell
back into his chair fired the fifth shot,
the bullet passing through his antag
onist's right arm near the elbow,
severing one f the tendons.
The wounded man's friends had, in
the meantime, crowded back out of
the way, and Davis swept his pistol,
which still contained one load, around
the table once or twice, and, still
holding it in his right hand, culled at
tention to the cards which the black
leg had dropped, and coolly remark
ed, "I lolil you not to touch that
money, but you would do it." lie
then crumpled up the bills in his left
hand, crammed them into his pocket,
and, unmolested, retired to his state
room, where he reloaded his pistol
and packed his portmanteau. At the
next landing be U ft the boat without
interference, and was quickly lost to
sight as Le climbed up the landing
and entered the woods.
It was probably owing to two rea
sons that the officers of the lioat or
the passengors made no attempt to
detain him. In the first place, it was
evident to ail of them that the suffer
er had attempted to swindle or rob
him, and he (Davis) licing much the
smaller and weaker man, they felt a
sympathy for him, not unmixed with
a species of admiration at his cool
ness and nerve. Secondly, most of
them knew him by sight or reputa
tion, and did uot care to hazard their
lives in tu attempt to arrest him
when they could gain nothing by 60
doing. The wounded man was assis
ted to Ixd by his friends, and a phy
sician was called to attend him.
Strange to say, he recovered, but for
weeks after arriving at St. Louis, and
ltccoming sufficiently convalescent to
walk the streets, he carried both of
his arms in a slhig.
Davis remained away from town
some time, but finally reappeared
here, and officer Patrick M'Donough,
seeing and recognizing him, arrested
him, but in the attempt was stabbed,
and rather badly wounded in the side.
The man shot, for some reason best
known to himself, refused or failed to
appear to prosecute him, and that
case was dismissed on a nolle prose
qui. How the case against him for
assault with intent to kill upon officer
M'Donough was disposed of the
Democrat informant did not remem
ber, but Davis was probably released
on bail and jumped his bond Miss

Japanese Agrienltnre.
There is but little in the practico of
Japanese agriculture that the Amer
ican farmer can profitably imitate. I
might say, though not quite so posi
tively, there is little in American ag
ricultural practice that Japan can
can profitably adopt, no great is the
difference in seasons, people, and in
stitutions. But while the American
farmer finds but little in Japanese ag
rienlliirnl nractiee of value, there is
certainly much in its spirit worthy of
his attention and study, meiriuoi
ough tillage.preferring rather to culti
vate well than much ; tbe care with
which they husband and apply ma
nures; their diligence in cuunuimg
forest trees for timber, ornament, and
shade, are tvortby olall emulation
and nraise.
In Japan the Government has the
absolute proprietorship of all the
land, and this is farmed out to the
peasantry, the Government tax being
something over one-half of all pro
duced. Under this system the life of
the peasant is usually one of unre
mittinr toil and wretchedness. His
farm rarely exceeds in size a few
square rods, but this he tills ao well
and thoroughly that tl.e umount
produced is a matter of surprise to
foreigners. In early sprin , if on the
uplands, the wheat "or barely is sown
in drills about one foot apart This
is carefully and repeatedly hoed, and
liouid manure applied during the sea
son. To manure the plant seems to
be the object rather than to fertilize
the soil; and it is certain that the
liquid from which all manures aro ap
plied here best acconipiisncs mat
obieet. About the time the grain
is" in the bloom another crop is
Bown between the rows of standing
crain. and thus two and often three
crops are grown from the same con-
j ducted season.
; Perhaps the uiont serious obstacle
to the introduction of new sorts, as
well as to the prosecution of old meth
ods of farming, is the number ana va
ricty of insect enemies that contend
with the agriculturists. I am con
vinced that butforthe abundance and
cheapness of labor there are few
plants that could be profitably culti
vated here. As it is, none but the
hardiest aud most rapid growing are
attempted. The growing of the ap
ple tree has been repeatedly attempt
ed in Yokohama and vicinity, yet
thev rareiy survive more than two
years from the time of planting. The
present season I have seen Swedish
turnips tried, but- the way in which
the vicrts oleracea swooped tlown ui
on the plants as soon as they appear
ed will forbid a repetition of the ex
periment.
The truth is Japan is reaping the
legitimate fruit of yielding an indis
criminate protection to all kinds of
birds. I irearms to the masses Here
are unknown, and indeed any other
kind of offensive weapons except the
everlasting sword. Not one Jap in
a hundred ever drew the trigger.
Thus left to themselves in the "strug-
cle fr life," the voracious, greedy
crows and hawks became "masters of
the situation ;" and so far as my ob
servation has extended, the small, or
insect-eating birds really valuable to
the agriculturist, have become all
but extinct. Their eggs as soon as
deposited become the food of crows
and hawks; or should they pass the
egg stage, their fate is sealed as soon
as they leave their hiding place. The
crows and hawks, on the contrary,
are omnipresent They caw and
scream at vou trom well-nigh every
thatched roof; and with impudence
only equalled by their greed, stand
ready to catch every unlucky bit or
fish that escapes froia the chop sticks
of the natives.
In cultivation both the people aud
Government manifest a most com
mendable zeal. Stringent laws cx
ist to restrict the cutting and encour
age the planting of timber. Little
groves of Kiakas, cedars and japoni-
cas, dot every hill side and adorn
every valley. I question whether
there is another country in the world
densely populated as Japan, that can
show an equal breadth of timber
growth. Nearly all the houses arc
of wood, and wood is exclusively the
fuel of the people; yet there is no
dearth nor dread of future failures,
no rubbing of musty political econo
mies, or new theories, to explain our
conduct when the "timber suppliy"
shall be no more. The exercise of
the same common sense and forecast
in regard to a crop twenty or thirty
years in maturing, that we arc com
pelled to exercise with annual or bi-
ennal crop, is the Japanese substitute
for our ever present fears, and scarcity,
with consequent high prices Cor

The History of the Flajr.
Tha following history of the flag of
our Union will doubtless interest ma
n v of our readers :
The stars and stripes bccaniethc
national flag of the United States of
America by virtue of a resolution of
Congress, passed June Mth, 1777
"Resolved, That the flag of the thir
teen United State sbc thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white ; that the
Union be thirteen stars, white, in a
blue field, representing a new constel
lation." This resolution appears in
the journal of Congress, volume sec
ond, page 195. Although passed on
the date given above, it was not made
public until September Sd, in the
same year, when it appeared in the
Uoston Gazette and Country Jour
nal. The flag seems 16 have been
the result of the work commented by
Washington, Dr. Franklin, Mr.
Lynch, Mr. Harrison and Col. Jo
seph Heed. On the 2d of January
1770, Washington was in the Ameri
can camp at Cambridge, organizing
the new army that was that day cre
ated. The "committee of conference,
consoling of Franklin, Lynch and
Harrison, sent by Congress to arrange
with Washington the details of the
army, were with him. Colonel Reed,
one of the aides-de-camp, was also
Secretary of the Committee of Confer
ence. The several designs of flags
had long occupied the thoughts of
Reed and his associates. The flag
in use by the army was a plain red
field, with the Rritish union of the
crosses of St. Andrew, St George,
and St Patrick on the upper left cor
ner. Several gentlemen from Boston
sent to the American camp copies of
the King s speech. It was received
on the date mentioned above, and the
effect is described in the Jiritia an
nual I.'rgitfrr, 1776, page 147, thus:
"The arrival of the copy of
the King's speech, with an
account of the fate of the petition
from tho Continental Congress, is
said to have excited the greatest de
gree of rage and indignation among
them ; as a proof of which the former
was burnt in the camp ; and they are
said, on this occasion, to have chang
ed their colors from a plain red
ground, which they had hitherto used,
to a flag of thirteen stripes, as a sym
bol of the number and union of the
colonics."
The use of the stripes to mark the
number of States on the flag cannot be
clearly traced, but may be accounted
for by a custom of the camp at Cam
bridge The army of citizen volun
teers comprised alt graacs oi meu.
Very few were uniformed. It was al
most impossible for the sentinels to
distinguish general officers from pri
vates. Frequently officers were
stopped at tbe outposts and held for
identiiication until tnc arrival oi mc
officer of tho day. Orders were is
sued that the different grades of ofli-
cers snouia oo aistinguisncu oy a
stripe of colored ribbon woru across
the breast. Washington, as commander-in-chief,
wore a ribbon of
light blue Tho stars on the blue
field "a new constellation" were
suggested by the constellation Lyra,
time-honored as an emblem of Uuion. j
i ne mirieca stars oi tue new iuumci
lation were placed as the circumfer
ence of a circle, and on a blue field,
in accordance with the resolution al
ready given. That was the flag
used at Burgoyne's surrender, Oct.
17, 1777. By a resolution of Con
gress, passed January 12, 17!'5, the
flag was changed to fifteen stars and
stripes. That was the flag of 1312.
By a resolution passed April 4, 1818,
to tike effect on the following July
4th,the flag was again changed to
one of thirteen stripes and tweuly
stars, and a new star, to represent a
new State, ordered to be placed on
the 4th of July following the admis
sion of such State. The flag planted
on the National Palace in Mexico had
thirty stars, it now carries thirty
seven. mi. . .1 r . i ...1

Mr. J. T. Fields, who has ju.-t re
turned from his first visit to the West,
gave his new lecture on "Masters of
the Situation" in Cambridge, on Tues
day evening. The followinir refer
ence in it to what he witnessed in j
(. htcago will interest every one:
" A feu hours ago 1 stood for the
first time in the great city of Chicago,
amazed at the spectacle before me. I
had read, as wc all had, how just one
year ago that noble metropolis of the
West had been mown down, as by a
scythe of fire, and all of us had shud:
dcred at the tale of horror as related
by eye witnesses on the spot. I re
member how the usual band of croak
ers came forward with the usual shake
of the head and prophecied that her
glory bad departed forever, nnd that
Chicago would never be rebuilt
Three square miles o fits area, seventy-three
magnificent streets, eighteen
thousand buildings, many of them
the finest in the city, forty beautiful
churches, were transformed in two
days into one vast waste a heap of
hideous ruin. Two hundred mill
ions of property became ashes in forty-eight
hours !
Only one year had elapsed, and I
dreaded to look on such a desolated
scene of a catastrophe unparalelled in
the historj- of modern cities. But
when last week, I walked through
those very streets, the scene of all
that terrible havoc of fire, I saw such
an illustration of the subject I am now
discussing with you, that all the oth
er incidents I have cited are dwarfed
and reidered insignificant by compar
ison. Instead of ruin I find such a
grandeur of restoration and strength
of enterprise, euch an overwhelming
result of indomitable will, unfailing in
dustry and courage, that I almost
doubted the evidence of my senses
and could scarcely believe that any
such conflagration as we have heard
of aud read of had occurred at all !
Collossal structures, miles upon miles
of palatial business and domestic edi
fices, richly ornamented with statutes
and intaglios unequalled for beauty
of design in any other of our great cit
ies, arc up already, and your eyes arc
bewildered by magnificence, instead
of being blasted by deformity. Surely
this is the mastery of a tremendous
situation ; over which we in common
with our kin of the West may well be
exultant, and for one I rejoice that I
belong to the same race with those
stout-hearted sons and daughters of
Chicago, who are now teaching a les
son of patient endurance and well di
rected enterprise to the world, such
as was never witnessed before in the
whole broad history of civilization."
Wbere's theConrouiided Mother.
A gentleman who has been travel
ing on the Hudson River relates the
following incident : I noticed a serious-looking
man, who was taking
care of a crying baby, and doing
everything he could to still its sobs.
As the child became restless in the
berth, the gentleman took it in his
arms and carried it to and fro in the
cabin. The sobs of the child irrita
ted a man who was trying to read,
until he blurted out loud enough for
tbe father to hear : "What does he
want to disturb the whole cabin with
that baby for ?" The man only nes
tled the baby more quietly in his arms,
without saying h word : but the baby
began crying again. "Where's the
confounded mother, that she don't
stop its noise ?" continued the irrita
ted grumbler. At this the father
came up to the man and said: "I am
very sorry we disturb ycu, sir, but my
dear baby's mother is in her coffin
down in the baggage-room. I'm
taking her back to Albany, where we
used to live." The hard hearted man
buried his face in shame, but in a
moment, wilted by the terrible re
buke, he was bvthc side of the grief-
stricken father, helping him tend the
babv.
FarArrs Should Tiait.
One of the most imnortant duties of
the farmer in to visit his neighbor.
Be neighborly ; be Bocial ; let out
those srood social feclinis: make them
grow ; go see your neighbor ; and
learn of hia success : exchanjc ideas :
confer with one another. If our far
mers" wonld do this, if each farmer
ould onlv visit around his whole
neighborhood once everv three
months, a world of good would be ac
complished. The social virtues
ould be promoted, and useful knowl
edge gained.
Fotato Salad. Who has uot cat-
en and relished that famous German
dirh potato salad 1 This is the way it
is made : Cut ten or twelve cold,
boiled potatoes into slices from a quar
ter to half an inch thick ; put into a
salad-dish with four table-spoonfuls
tarragon or plain vinegar, six table
spoonfuls of best salad oil, one tabb
spoonful of minced parsley, and pt , -per
and salt to taste ; stir well, that
all be thoroughly mixed. It should be
made two or three hours before need
ed on the table. Anchovies, olives,
or any pickles, may be added to this
salad, as also cold beef, chicken or
turkey, if desired, but it U excellent
without these.
