The Alsike Clover, This cloter, which is of rather re cent discovery or production, has bp come extremely popular in Europe, being greatly preferred toother gras ses of thia family which can be profita bly grown. Horse 3 are extremely fond of it, and is said to be more wliole fome for them than the best timothy. It is beginning to to be grown in our own country, but as yet very sparing ly, in consequence of the scarcity of seed. Indeed we do not know wheth er it can be obtained at all or not at any of our seed stores. It has been .referred to before in the columns of the Telegraph, and being anxious that it should be better known, we copy the following commnriie»ti<m' relative Ho h frorrt the Mmne ParYnvt, fur nished by a gentleman named Cush man, who resides at Sherman, in that State, and who had been applied to publicly, for his knowledge arid opin ion of this rlover. "My experience with the Alsike clover is as follows : From the small qnantity I sowed, I got enough the first year to seed nearly one-fourth of an acre. It came to maturity the past season, and produced the bulk of a ton | of common hay. This clover is a i hybrid, or cross between the common J red and white. It possesses neither , the coarse stalk of the red, nor the j running habit of the white. It grows about two foot high, and makes nu- j mcrous branches and heads. The j head ia flesh color—about half way j between red and white. In two re- j spects it resembles the white clover; I First, as the blossoms fade, the bolls ; turn down, and look like the white. Second, a single boll often contains I seven I Seeds —whereas the red never • does but one. I think it will produce I quite as largo a crop us tho red, and ! of much finer an I better quality. I think this will be mutli longer lived , than the red. It is vitluible to the j keeper of honey b 0.-, as i never saw a flower of which they were more i fond. The red clover is very sweet, | but the cell is so iOcp tho b.e cannot reach it. The Alsike possesses the \ sweetness of the red, and the shoal 1 cell of the white, an I therefore seems j perfectly adapted to the want of the i bee. It was observed that there j were more bees on tlvit little spot of! clover, than on fifty acres of other grass. I let it stand till most of the heads were turned, and then cut it for both hay and seed I think I have , enough for fifteen acres." Now this is a very favorable state-; ment of the characteristics of this' clover and inasmuch as its cultiva- j tion is a success in the very cold j latitude of Maine, it surely ought to be, especially to a very large expanse I of territory farther South and West. j Our farmers should experiment with it as soon as seed can bo obtained : ! and the Commissioner of Agriculture I whowe think has already distribu ted some, should procure an addi tional supply..— Gtrmantown Tel egraph. X ALI'E OF ASHES.—l'rofessor Jack son, in illustrating the manner in ! which soils might be rendered fer tile, said that "a farm, within his I knowledge, which was a blowing sand, \ a pino barren, and almost hopeless, ■ en which ten bushels of corn to an ! aero could scarcely b'e grown, by the judicious application of ashes, had been made to produce forty or fifty busnels to the acre." YVe do not question the correctness of Dr. Jack son's statements. Our observation has convinced us that on sandy soils, with the exception of clay marl, there ] is nothing more beneficial in the ap- J plication in such soils, than ashes; 1 and, very fortunately, unless uncotn- j mon quantities of acid exist in such I soils, leached ones. Ashes do what | lime cannot; they render the soil te-1 nacious of moisture, and although | their action is not as prompt or effi-1 cient on cold, sour soils, they are, | for the reason assigned, considered j as valuable on light sandy ones. Of j this fact,the farmers on the light soils I of Long Island and New Jersey, are well aware, and, in the gathering and 1 application of ashes, find a cert.iin j 6ourceof profit. WATER-PROOF Boot SOLES.—IF h t tar is applied to boot soles, it will . make them water-proof. Let it be \ as hot as the leather will bear with- > out injuring it, apply it with a swab, : and drying it by the fire. The op- 1 eration may be repeated two or three j times during the winter, if necessary, i It makes the surface of the leather • quite hard, so that it wears longer, j as well as keeps out the water. Oil; or grease softens the Bole, and does not do much in keeping the water out. j It is a good plan to provide boots for 1 winter during summer, and prepare ! the soles by tarring, as they will then j become before they are wanted to wear, almost as firm as horn, and will wear twice as long as thase unprepar ed. How TO KEEP CROWS FROM PUL LING UP CORN. —Take a half doaen eggs and take the white out. Put in a very little strychnine, and set the eggs around in the corn field. If they get it before they get anything to eat in the morning, you will find them in the field. Stick a pole in the ground and hang up the dead crows. If they go off with the eggs, they won't come back again. Three have been found dead beside one egg.—John Ayers, Columbu.*, Mic. ftduaiiaual Department. Overtasking, If you are a Teacher or a Director, Read! — Often in our experience as a teacher, we have been led to ask ourselves if school children are not, in a majority of instance*, burdened with too many studies. Our conviction haseverbeeu in the affirmative. Increased thought and experience have only served to strengthen this conviction. It seems to us impossible ■ for an ordinary child of twelve or four teen years to give due attention to three or four leading studies, without risking serious injury to its health. Nor can we think it is tho true method of teaching to ; force a great amount of labor upon a child i than can be borne without fatigue. We propose briefly to consider tho subject For the advanced scholars of a mixed school, or for pupils in the highest room of a graded one. there will be the follow ing studies : Reading, (including defini : dons to be Mental Arithme j tie, G rammer, Geography, Writren Arith metic, Spelling and Writing, making sev . en studies in all. The amount of time to be occupied by these strtdies does not ! exceed five hours and a half; and indeed scarcely that. Deducting thirty minutes ! each day for recesses, and allowing for | the time consumed inopeningand closing | school, it will not reach that amount. Of , these seven studies, four (Mental Arith ' metic, Grammar, Geography and Written I Arithmetic,) require the closest attention | that can be given, while a portion of an | other (the definitions in Reading) de- I mands equally strict application. Wri j ting should not occupy less than half an I hour; a recitation in Reading, twenty minutes; and that in Spelling, from ten ;to twenty. A recitation in each of the other branches named will occupy twen -Ity minutes. Five exercises of twenty I \ ui uutes each, one of thirty, and another | of fifteen, make in all twy hours and I ; twenty-five minutes; adding to which j thirty minutes; —for recesses and for opening an 1 closing school, it leaves three ! hours an 1 five minutes in which to study j 1 six lessons, (Writing, of course, does not i j require previous preparation,) or a frac- J i tion over thirty minutes for each. Of • I these six siu'lies, two (Spelling and Rea ding) may be prepared in twenty minutes each leaving thirty-five minutes for study ing each of the other four. And yet this I estimate is perhaps too liberal. Suppose ! a lesson no longer than a column in Mc i Nally'a 4th Geography be assigned, who will be so unreasonable as to expect a ' child to commit it, and perhaps "hunt it j out," in the space of thirty-five minutes? j And what is hero said of Geography can | be uttered with still greater truth of Grammer and Arithmetic. Some one will say, "Yes, but why don't | the scholars study at home ?" We ans ! wcr— 1. That is a matter beyond the teach er's jurisdiction. 2. Parents often have some task for their children to perform in the mornings I or evenings, or both, j 3. .NY,/' hours of mental lahor and clone ! con finance t out of each, tieeny-fmir, exert | strain enough on the mind of any ordi i nary pupil. The mere imposition of too much la dor docs not comprehend but a small por tion of the evil. The child in its endea vor to have one lesson well studied ne glects and fails in another. This failure is followed by reproof, and perhaps pun i ishment. At another time, an effort is, J made to study all the lessons thoroughly; and, as a result., there is a partial failure {in all. Perhaps this is followed with an- I other reproof or punishment. The child i is in consequence perplexed and discoura i ged. It gets out of sorts with itself, with I its lessons, and with its teacher. llow j many teachers are there whose experi \ cnce has differed from this ?—Allegha \ nian. Irregular Attendance at Schocl. It is universally conceded by teachers j that the evils of inconstant attendance ' are the most formidable ones with which . they contend. It cannot be denied, that ; of all drawbacks upon Common School efficiency, they are the most serious.— : Could pareuts see the evils of unueses- I sary abseuce iu their true light, there is reasou to believe that they would be much j more alarmed than they are now. | Some friend of education has furnish | ed the following, to which serious atteu | tion should be given: i 1. If a boy learns to feel that he may , leave his duties as a scholar for trival caus j es—for causes equally trival, he will for : sake his business wheu a man. 2. The time of the teacher and school is wast«d, while his abseuce is being rej | corded. 3. The teacher's time is wasted in rea | ding and recording the delinquent's excu- I ses, when he returns to school. i 4. He interrupts the exercise of the i teacher, or some part of the school, in 1 finding the places at which his various I lessons commenced. I 6. He has lost his lesson reoited yester day, and does not understand that portion of to-day's lesson, which depends upon that of yesterday; and such dependence i usually exists. > j 6. The teacher's time and patience are ! taxed in repeating to him theinstructious rf yesterday, which, however, for want | of study, he does not clearly appreciate. 7. The rest of the class are deprived of the instruction of their teacher, while he is teaching the delinquent. 8. The progress of the rest of the class is checked, and their ambition curbed by waiting for the tardy delinquent. P. The pride of the class is wounded, and their interest it) their studies abated by the conduct of the absentee. 10. The reputation of both teacher and school suffers upon days of public exami nation, by failures which are chargeable to the absentee and not tothe instruction. 11. The means generously provided for the education of the delinquent are wrongfully wasted. 12. lie sets a pernicious example forthe restof the school, and usually does some actual mischief while absent.— Scranton Republican. Too Easily D.scouraged, While it does not become sensible men to be elated by trifling causes, it is equally unworthy of them to be too easily discour aged. There is resting on all men, more especially those in positions of influence, the duty of cultivating a feeling equal to the crisis. Words cannot express the feclingof anxiety throughout the country; and instead of disposing it to doubt, and a habit of giving way to a feeling of dis couragement at eveiy trifling circumstance or rumor, it is every man's duty to help strengthen and encourage the public mind, prepare it, if need be, for reverses, and to act as becomes the oecsion. If there is no other value in this, it will have its in fluence on the Government, and give char acter to its action. A feeling of despon dency and indecision, once abroad, will communicate itself to the armies and those charged with the tremendous responsibil ity of directing them and the Government Let us never complain of short-comings elsewhere, if we act not right. The Gov ernment needs the support, the counsel, tho inspiration of public sentiment, and the manifestation of the universal will. | It needs it now, when the crisis is more | imminent than ever before, and when cv- I ery tiling.seemingly, dependsou the steps to be taken. We must either goon or stop' Stop, we can not. Goon, wo must. But it is the mode of going on that is so Important. | Shall it be at speed any less than will car- j jry us through on time: Shall we incur i the hazard of coming short? It rests as ' much with the people as the Government to decide. Nothing is more certain than, that if the people are up to the mark the Govornmeni will be. If they are timid, it will not be courageous, llow can the armies fight with a rabble of croakers be hind them? llow can wo expccttheGov ermlimit to be strong, energetic and fully j up tothe mark, if it receive not encour agement and instruction from the people? At the present motneut the only danger is the Government will not be sufficiently decided and advanced,—that the Presi dent and his advisers will not fully under stand, not only the capability, but the universal willingness to respond to any measure which Hie public judgment can recognize is going to make a complete fin ish of the business. No blunder has been so great or so often repeated, as failing to iio that which at once convinced the country that what was proposed would prove all that was needed. We have reached a stage when it is perfectly evi dent that numbers only can do the busi ness, and that with men enough the end is at hand. There is nothing but this in the ease. It is simply a question of men, and the sooner the better. Retter to many than not enough. Reflecting men can come to no other conclusion. If the Gov ernment has not come to clear convictions, and if it is not stocked with the requisite amount of will, let it turn its face aud ear to the country. That it hear no uncer tain sound and see no doubt in the Na tion's eye, let everybody commence feel ing, talking and acting just as he would have the Government act.— Com. Journal. ' PERSONAL. —The death of Gen. Jas. E. R. Stuart, the well known rebel cavalry leader, is confirmed. He was killed iu an encounter with Sheridan. Gen. Stuart was born in Patrick county, Va., and graduated at West Point, in 1854, was se verely wounded in a fight with Cheyen ne Indians in 1850. and became captain of cavalry in iB6O. He rose from a col ouelcy in the rebel service to the chief command of cavalry. As long as the National cavalry was poorly handled and organize 1, Stuart had quite a name, and was a hero of romance. Tales were told of him. aud he dated back his descent to the royal Stuarts. As our own eavalay became famous uuder Plcasanton. Buford, Kilpatrirk, Gregg, and more lately, Sher idan, Siuart has been less and less thought of by his own side as well as ours. Fitz hugh l.ee should have had his command. After the old style of guerrilla chieftains, it is said that a handsome young lady followed Stu.irt in all his fortunes. ta?~ It is related of Grant that after the battle of Shiloh, and his complete vic tory at that point, Gan. Buell, a thorough soldier, began criticising in a friendly way the impolicy of his having fought a battle with the Tennessee rvier behind his men. " Where, if beaten, c >uld you have retreated, General ?" asked Buell. "I didn't mean to be beateu," was Grant's sententious reply. "Rut suppose you had been defeated, despite of all your ex ertions?,, " Well, tliere wereall the tran sports to carry the remains of the com mand across theriver." "But, General," urged Buell, •' your whole transports could not contain over ten thousand men, and it would be impossible for then, to make more thau one trip in the face of the en emy." "Well, if I had been beaten," said Geo. Grant, pausing to light another cigar as he spoke, " transportation for ten thousand men would be abundant for all that would be left of us." This anec dote is eminently characteristic.thedata for the proper appreciation of it being that Grant had about fifty thousand men over the river.

It has probably since parted with some patrons to whom its remarkaidecheapnes-' was a controlling recommenda tion; but others have taken their place, and it has now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and rogu lar purchasers—an excess of at le w»t Fifty Thousand over those of any rival. Aud this unprecedented currency it has achieved by venr liberal expenditures In procuring early and authentic intelligence, by the fearless expres sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in any department of our enterprise, aud by unshrinking fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free dom. By very lnrg<» outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the various armies of the Union, and by special ef forts to furnish such information respecting Markets, Cr«»ps, new discoveries or Improvements in Agriculture.
