thirty-seven years ago that Rowland
Hill, while crossing a district in the
Ncrih of England, arrived at the
door of an inn where a postman bad
to deliver a letter. A yonng girl
came out to receive it; she tamed it
over and over in her band and atked
tbe price of postage. This was a
large sum and evidently tbe girl was
poor, tor tne postman demanded a
shilling. She sighed ad!y, and said
the letter was from Ler brother, but
tuaisnenaa no money; and so re
turned tbe letter to the postman
Toacbed with pity, Mr. Hill paid the
postage and gave tbe letter to the
girl who seemed very much embar-
raased. Scarcely bad the psstmaa
turned his back when the young inn
keeper's daughter confessed that it
waa a trick between ber and ber
brother. Some signs on tbe envelope
loia cer an ete wantea to know, but
tbe letter contained no writing. 'We
are both so poor," she added, "tbat
we invented thia mode of correspond
ence without paying for onr letters."

Sabreur is a gallant, dashing fellow,

men does he kill? Tbe German
medical staff reports tbat tbeir losses
in the Franco-German war waa G5,
ICO killed and wounded, and of these
only 21 S were killed and wounded by
the sabre and clubbed mutkets. Of
tbe cavalry 133 were killed or wound
ed by the sabre out of a total ef
2.23G, and 212 wounded by the bay
onet. Tbat is to say, the deaths caused
by 40,000 cavalry with the sabre in
six months' campaigning over almost
half of France amounted to six. In
a grand aggregate of 253,112 cases
of wounds analyzed and recorded in
tbe office of tbe Surgeon-General of
tbe United States during tbe war ot
the rebellion, there were only 90C
examples of sabre cuts and bayonet
slabs, and of these only 52 resulted in
death.
General Benet, chief of the Army
Ordnance Bureau, in an official letter
to the Secretary of War, invites at
tention to tLe question whether the
sabre and bayonet should any longer
form part of tbe arm9 of tbe cavalry
and infantry soldiers of tbe United
Statea "In my mind," says Gener
al Benet, "there exists not a doubt
that tbe days of tbe tabre and bayon

'question to be decided is w hether tbe

T be General of tbe army, who is

convinced tbat the bayonet and non

simoly u-tless weapons in war, and
tbat infantry and cavalry alike suouu

1 be first thing to be looked at in a
horse is his thane. A Lorse's head
should be fine, broad between the
eyes and tapering in toward tbe
nose, tbe jaws should be clean and
unencumbered with flesh, the eye
full, bright and lively, tbe nostrils
open, and of a bright red internallr,
(which generally denotes breeding
and courage). Tbe space between
the jaws underneath should be room v
and void of lamps or glandular
swellings ; the ears should be well
set into tbe bead and pointing for
ward. A bo.se s neck should be
light, airv, well curved and having
considerable sweep undcrneatL, at its
junction with the jaws. In borres
whose wind pipe is curved where it
is set into the jaws, tbey have gener
ally better wiad tban otters, inas
much as tbe air in expiration has not
to encounter tbe oostruc'.ion caused
by tbe neck when it joins the bead at
a sharp angle. A rng necked borse
is generally weak, swasby, frequent
ly predisposed to be a roarer, and the
rest of Lis shape generally partakes
of tbe same type, bis back beirg long
and bis body none of tbe shortest.
An upright shoulder generally marks
a harness hcrse ; a sloping sbonlder
is, therefore, as essential in the sad
dle horse. Plenty cf room in tbe
chest is a desideratum; nevertheless
many a narrow-chested borse bas
performed wonders. Tbe back should
be short, rather arched over the
loins, haviDg tbe tail set rather bigb.
The body t-hould be deep, well ribbed
np tbat is between the last rib
and tbe hip-bone. A low-rumped
horse generally puts bis bind legs
well under bim when at work, and
thia is a good quality. A horse's
tbigLs should be well clothed with
muscle down to tbe bock; there
and thence to tbe boof, all ehculd be
a considerable bend on tbe back part
oi me tcign. J lorses tbat stand
with the caps of tbe hocks nearly

When we see a piece of work laid
down with tbe remark "That's near
enough' we know at once it ia not a
first-class job. The employer may
!say "that's near enough" because he
; has taken the work at a price that be
can not affjrd to do good work, or it
may be a temporary repair in which
time is of more consequence than
first-class workmanship. If a work
man makes use of tbe remark we
know be has little pride in tbe job,
and is satisfied to do inferior work ;
while if an apprentice Bays 'that's
near enough' we conclude tbat be is
not likely to make any reputation as
an expert or good workman.
Suppose a professor of jiatbematica
were to say twice 2 are 4 ; it might
be near enough for tbe purpose to
which be applied it, but it would not
be near enough to maiataio, much
less to stake his reputation as a math
ematician upon.
Tbe difference in time necessary to
convert the quality of a job from that
denoted by "that near enough" intOj
tbat expressed by 'that's a first-class
job' may be sufficiently worthy of.
consideration in many cases; out;
the confidence, expertnesa, experience
and interest one's work the latter (

spent time as apprentice or workman
can possibly employ, because such
practice soon enables him to turn out
first class work in the same time for
merly required to finish the job in a
"that's good enough" style, and there
fore converts biro trora an inferior or
ordinary into a superior workman.
That s near enough" has led to

When tbe bands can lay down a

without an equivalent or gain as to

That the Hollanders had and have
a passionate love for music is well
known. For two centuries tbe pop
ular soDgs of Holland figured con
spicuously in the history of tbe coun
try. Every peasant boy was in tbe
habit of carrying about with him a
collection of songs in a shape which
be could tuck away in bis pocket
eaaily. When a group gathered tbey
would fall to singing in cborus. A
similar custom prevailed among the
higher classes of tbe population. Af
ter dinner, wbeu tbe jovial Dutch
men were in a frolicking mood, each
man would pull out his song-book
from bis pocket, and the whole com
pany would join in a rotsiog chorus.
It is easy to see that bere was a
mine for tbe faience-makers to work.
A dozen dessert plates displaying
tbe cutlets of various songs were a
source of amusement which was never-failing
in its after-dioner effect.
The idea is, perhaps, one worth
adopting in our day and and country
as a provoker of jollity among the
people not unduly given to that sort
of thing.
Several of these musical plates
have come down V) ua. Most of
them bear inscriptions and mottoes
in Dutch, but very many and the
most objectionable of tLem have
verses in tbe French language, and
were doubtless made for sale in that
market. Certainly they were very
much in the spirit of modern opera
bouffe, and wculd not be in demand
at English or American dinner ta
bles, nor even ia France in the family
circle. Oihcrs of these musical
plates, instead of giving tbe verses
at length and a mere suggestion of
the tune, present tbe whole score,
and give but tbe n-ime of the song.
Some have tbe music, not of a song,
but of a minuet or gavot. Still oth
ers no, only give the daucing tunes,
but show us pictures of the dancers.

should not our farmers in tbe Middle

The climate which will produce good
peaches will also produce filberts,
and all our light tobacco lands ia tbe
basin of tbe Chesapeake are as well
suited to tbeir growth as tbe soil of
Kent, and certainly at the prices
ruling now in ew lork, or at even
balf these prices, filberts would prove
tbe most profitable product within

Wfcy should not onr farmers grow

is quite likely there may be some

may be that we bave neglected to

A correspondent of tbe Rural New
Yorker gives an interesting experi
ence which may be worth the atten
tion of farmers. He writes : " When
first tbe "bags" made their appear
ance in Northern Pennsylvania 1
was breeding several varieties of
fancy poultry mostly ia confinement,
and among others Sebright bantams,
whose coop was just at one side of
tbe patch of early rose. Wben the
vines were nearly ready to bloom tbe
beetles made tbeir appearance in
strong numbers and our hopes of ear
ly potatoes were dismaL We knew
of only two modes of relief, namely
hand-picking, wbicb we bad not tne
time to attend to, and an application
of Paris green, but this was thought
to be unsafe so near tbe bouse where
the children were wont to. play, and
it was also feared tbat tbo poultry
might get a taste of this deadly poi
son. A friend said, 'Turn out tbe
bantams ' wbicb we accordingly did,
though without faith, as we bad read
that no member of tbe feathered or,
any other tribe could ba induced to
touch tbe ravagers. W bat was our
surprise to Bee tbe little beauties
march directly among the potatoes
and greedily devour tLe insects as
fast as they were found ! Neither
were tbey satisfied with one meal
but continued tbe good work until
not a beetle was left, and we har
vested a fine crop. Now, the secret
was this : The bantams bad been a
long time in confinement with bat
little animal food, and no doubt tbeir
appetites were particularly sharp for
food of that n at ore, and the Colorado
beetle being the first they found were
tried and found to be satisfactory
Thus a taste was formed, the warfare
continued and cur potatoes were
saved. I believe that unless some
similar plan is adopted in order to
educate the Guioeas to tbe work the
disappointment to f jIIjw will be al
most certaio."
Faaaiaar Trail 'fclkeaa.
In some localities it ia difficult to
tret clicks through tbe first two
weeks afier they are batched, for the
little complaints of this early period
are mora numerous and critical than
at other periods of their lives. Feed
is the first consideration and pure
water a great essential to them from
first to last. Cornmeal is the one
article of chicken diet wbicb bas
been the main dependence for gener
ations, but some experiments with
rice last year convinced us tbat for
young chicks it is equal to anything,
if not superior to anything . else.
Broods fed opoo rice alone all lived
and grew finely on a single handful
a, a feed for tbe ben and ber brood.
An inferior quality known to tbe
trade as broken rice, is just as good
for feed, and it takes Utile for a
feed tbat tbe ezpeose ia no greater

meal, while in tbe South it ill be
tbe cheapest feed kuown Indiana
