THE •'Journal" has no stomach for ad-

LAFAYETTR clergymen are compelkcl to submit to "donation parties."

REV. E. BARK accepts the call to the First Presbyterian Church in Madison.

DEI.PHI will have a "First National Bank" in operation by the 1st of April. The organization was perfected a few days since by the election of JAMES P, DOGAN, President, and REED CASE, Cashier.

MR. GREELEY has an article the "Tribune" of yesterday, in which he virtually admits that his wrath to wards GRANT is due to the fact that the

Tribune" concern was not allowed to control the New York appointments.

SAYS the Indianapolis "Journal:1 "We have the best authority for stating that the relations between President GRANT and Vice President COLFAX are now, as they always have beeD, of agreeable and cordial character, and we know that we do not err when we make the statement that the renomination of Mr. COLFAX for Vice President, will be specially gratifying to the President."

THE Sringfield "Republican," in a bitter article, advises Gen. WILSON to give up the idea of the Vice Presidency, as he is not wanted for that office, even in his own State, where neatly all the leading men have their own reasons for opposing him. The "Republican" declares that the weakening of the Philadelphia ticket, which would be the certain con, quence of the rejection of Mr. COLFAX, would be perilous to the (lection of Gen GRANT.

IT HAS been stated, and generally be lieved, that the cost of ocean-telegraph-ing to Earl DE GREY (now Marquis of Ripon) and his colleagues, constituting the Commission sent by Queen VICTORIA to negotiate the Treaty of Washington, last year, had reached the very considerable amount of$150,000. It was stated in the House of Commons, the other day, by Lord ENFIELD, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that the actual expenditure for this purpose was no more than $25,580 for telegrams sent to England by the Commissioners, and $10,S09 for telegrams sent to them by the goverment in London, the total being §30,389, a large sum, it is true, but not much more than one-fourth of the amount originally, and and incorrectly, stated. The entire expenditure by England on account of the commission, including the cost of living in the United States, would probably be covered by $350,000. This is the estimated, nQt officially declared amount. Not an extravagant sum—if it had only achieved the desired purpose.

THE British army for the year 1872-'73 will consist, by vote of the House of Commons, of 133,G49 men of all arms, of whom 54,000 are available for home -srvice, the remainder being on duty in lia and the colonies. Inasmuch as this army entirely consists of voluntary recruits (conscription or a "draft" would probably provoke an insurrection), and as recruiting is naturally a slow process, and would become still slower if war were anticipated, the Philadelphia "Press" concludes that whatever steps England may take in her present uncomfortable situation as regards the United States, an appeal to arms, on land at least, canecarcely be among them. Never, since the revolution of 16S8, has the British army been on such a reduced scale as at present nor, it might beaded, was its cost so great. This year it is proposed to reduce it by over a million sterling--that is, from £15,S51,700 to £14,824,500, Inasmuch as the institution of camps of instruction will absorb the additional saving of £3,500,000, to be raised by terminable annuities, the boasted saving is. very apochryphal. In this beginning of army reform the Duke of Cambridge, com-mander-in-chief, who is also field marshal, concurs. In both capacities his Royal Highness receives £11,000 a year, and aho is colonel of four regiments (artillery, engineers, guards, and rifles), which bring him in some £6,000 a year addition. The efficiency of any reform which does not uncolonel himself, to begin with, may be reasonably doubted. The fact that England cannot go to war with us, for want of soldiers, is very certain.

PEOPLE are often called good Christians who are wofully wanting in some of the essential elements of manly, not to say Christian character. Sir Thomas Phillips, who recently died at Gloucester, England, bequeathed Thirlestone House, with its rich and wonderful library, to his youngest daughter and her children, but on the condition that neither her eldest sister nor any Roman Catholic should ever cross its threshold. Yet forgiveness is one of the cardinal Christian virtues and Sir Thome hurls a javelin of hate at an offending daughter just as lie is to be ushered into the presence of his ofoffended Father! This thing is often done, and is always excused on some plea or other, when it should always and everywhere excite detestation, and be treated with abhorrence. The man who, on his death bed, will coolly put a perpetual curse against one of his own children into his will, deserves to be treated with blistering contempt while he survives, and will be very likely to find his unnatural hate bolting the very door he most wants to enter, against him on the other side.—Golden Age,

The Color of Clothing.

The color of clothing is by no means matter of indifference. White and light colored clothes reflect the heat, while black and dark-colored ones absorb it White the comfortable and fashionabl color for clothing in summer. It reflect! heat well, and prevents the sun's ray from passing through and heating th body. If white is the best color for sum mer, it does not follow that black is th best for winter. It must be remembered that black radiates heat with great rapid ity. Give a coat of white paint to a black steam radiator, which is capable ol rendering a room comfortably warm at all times, and the temperature will fall at once, though the heat producing agency remain the same as before, A black garment robs the body of a lar ger amount of heat thin white, and conse quentlv the latter color is the best for winter garments. It is the best color for both summer and winter. Although this statement may seem like blowing hot and cold, it is nevertheless true. Let those who are troubled with cold feet, and who wear dark socks, change to white and see if the difficulty is not in part or wholly removed. Utility in color is confined to the different shades merging from dark into light but we find in connection with dress all the beautiful tints of the rain bow, and these are used for the ornamen tation of the person. The rich and varied colors which are so extensively worn are by BO means to be condemned adornment of the person to a reasonable extent is commendable. We all love the beautiful in nature, and what adds so much to the attractiveness of woman as the ribbons and ecarf3, stained with magenta, mauve, or solferino, which adorn her person? Deep in the instincts of our na ture is laid the admiration of color and we love beautiful flowers and birds and —beautifully dressed ladies —From Dr Nichols's FIRESIDE COMPANION, published by Hard & Houghton, New York The Riverside Press, Cambridge.

What to Use for Water-pipes. Leaden pipes may be employed to conduct water from ponds and rivers or open reservoirs, under ordinary conditions, with safety. But since disturbing agencies of a local character are liable to occur, of which water-takers can have no knowledge until evil consequences result, it will be better to substitute some kind of pipe which is safe under all possible conditions. Neither tin-lined lead, galvanized iron, or brass pipes meet this want. Iron pipes are entirely unobjectionable on grounds of safety and the other undesir-. able features which have been named are not of so serious a nature as to lead to their rejection forcommon use as servicepipes. By lining the interior with cement or glass, a conduit pipe is produced which leaves a better one hardly to be desired. Black-tin water-pipes are safe and excellent, but costly. Those who do not mind expense can resort to this pipe for water conduction, wiih assurance that they are fully protected from danger. It is quite probable that not many years will elapse before new devices for conducting water to dwellings, which are safe and cheap, will be afforded us, as this is an important question towards which many competent and ingenious minds are turned at the present time.—From Dr. Nichols's FIRESIDE SCIENCE, published by Hard & Houghton, Nor York The Riverside Press, Qimhridqe.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

History of its Organization.

From the Washington Patriot.] In essaying to present tlie operation and principal features of the Department of Agriculture of the United States— which is the purpose of this article—we regret that the space at oar command does not permit us to avail ourself of the interesting historical resume of the Patent Office and its Commissioners, and the Department and its successive chiefs, made by the present chief clerk of the Department of Agriculture, James M. Swank, Esq., and which is published in the Monthly report of the Department for July, 1871. This account contains many facts necessary to a proper understanding of the history oi the events which marked the gradual outgrowth of the Agricultural Division of the Patent office from the operations of the Patent Office, and which finally culminated in the passage of an act by Congress,on May 15, 1862, establishing the Department of Agriculture as an mdependant Department of the Government. To summarize Mr. Swank's narrative, we find that to Hon. Kenry L. ^Ellsworth, of Connecticut, first Commissioner of Patents, is the existence of the Department of Agriculture largely, although remotely, due. It was through his indefatigable exertions in behalf of the agriculture of the country, and his reiterate:? suggestions, that, during his incumbency of the office of Commissioner of Patents,

Congress was induced to make an appropriation, in 1839, for the operations of the Agricultural Division of the Patent Office. And thus was it that an impetus was given to the supervision and fostering cf the agricultural interists by Government, which in latter years, with the increase of the importance of these interests, was to result in the establishment of a Department commensurate with the vast field of labor whieh is involved in our agricultural system.

It was, therefore, during the term of service as Commissioner of Patents, of Hon. David P. Holloway, of Indiana, that the act establishing the Department of Agriculture was passed. The "general design and duties" of this Department were declared to be "to acquire and diffuse among the people of the United States useful information on subjects connected with agriculture in the most general and comprehensive sense of that word, and to procure, propagate and distribute among the people new and valuable seeds and plants." The President was also empowered to appoint a chief executive officer to be styled the "Commissioner of Agriculture," who was not, however, although the head of an independent department of the Government, to be included ampng the members of the Cabinet. The first Commissioner of Agriculture was the Hon.. Isaac Newton, of Pennsylvania, who had been since early in 1861 the superintendent of the Agricultural Division of the Patent office. Mr. Newton organized the Department on a large and liberal scale and in accordance with the spirit of the act which crested it. In 1864 the Government Reservation No. 2 of 35 acres (upon which the Department building now stands) was assigned to the Department for experimental purposes, and many varieties of cereals, grasses, potatoes, tomatoes, and other agricultural products were planted there. Other improvements in the way of a geological and mineralogical cabinet, additions to the chemical laboratory and to the museum, etc., were made in 1865.

In 1867 Congress appropriated $100,000 for the erection of a public building for the Department, the rooms in the Patent Office being found to be entirely inadequate for the transaction of its business,

and tbe Department Building, a fine, or- f°Uhynsertion

uamental three story structure, was commenced in the summer of that year. In 1867, Commissioner Newton having died, Hon. Horace Capron, of Illinois, was appointed Commissioner. In 1868 the De' partment building was finished, and the records and other property of the Department, (including the museum of natural history, and other objects which had been purchased from the entomologist, Mr. Townsend Glover, in 1867, for $10,000,) were removed from the Patent Office building. In 1869 the small botanical collection of the Department was greatly enlarged hy the transfer to its shelves of the extensive and valuable collection of the Smithsonian Institution, which had been contributed by various Government surveying and exploring expeditions. In 1870 the large conservatory of the Department was commenced, and in 1871 it was completed, at a cost of $25,000. In 1871 Commissioner Capron accepted service under the Japanese Government, and resigned his position, and the present incumbent, Hon. Frederick Watts, of Penn•tylvania, was appointed his successor. Mr. Watts is a lawyer by profession, and a farmer by choice. He is said by those who know him in the latter capacity to be both practical and scientific, and his name is familiar in connection with the agricultural operations of his native State.

Statement of the Universal Life Insurance Company of A'ew York, For 1171. From the New York Insurance and Real Estate

Journal.] This profperous stock company has published the result of its transactions for 1871, which are of the most gratifying character, showing a large addition to its assets, a considerable increase in the number of policies issued, and a very handsome surplus. These are features not attained without great efforts, especially in such a year as that just passed away, and therefore more than odinary praise is due to the care and unceasing in dustry of the management. The net as •etsof the company at the close of the year 1871 exceeded those of 1870 by 6230,515 54 so that after the discharge of every claim we find that the ratio of assets to liabilities is 145 per cent., affording to the insured a security the abun dance of which defies all challenge. The surplus is another conspicuous item, in the balance sheet of the year. It amounts to $335,850 49, and the income of the company in 1871 was $688,662 38, a close approach to three-quarters of million. The largeness of the business transacted in the year receives further confirmation in the number of policies issu.ed, which was 3,188 insuring the enormous sum of $9,174,450, or $3,000, 000 more than the amount insured ii 1870—an increase in the business of 1871 of fifty per cent.

Nothing can be more demonstrative of the advancing march of the institution than the facts established by these figures, which are as brilliant as if the fruit of prosperous times, whilst it is well known that the past year has been by no means flattering to life insurance,

The success of the year must be partly ascribed to the indomitable energy of the management, which, in thus proving that 'i is able to achieve great things nder depressing circumstance', is enti tied to the confidence of the policy-hold-ers, and partly to the excellence of the system upon which the business of the Universal is conducted—namely, that of "low rates and no humbug."
