Tig BifpOßMon--Cultivating tfce Warden. Hew Method of Titan Growing Tlonaebold Bints aud Eectpes Farm Note. Pie Disposition. 1 T. T. Curtis In Rural Xcw Yorker. There is a difference in the d'.sDOsi lions ot beg?, All kegs are net alike either in temper, in physical development, appetite or ability to digest food. It ia well to kaiir these facts. The differences in most or tbesa respects rcay bs known by the looks of tbe auirxa!e, their exprcsaion, form cf body and action. Some sie nervcus and timid anl reejuire very gentie treatment. Some are dallcaie in structure, and this delicacy carries with it a delicate appetite. Different bree 13 represent these characteristics quit9 markedJy. The circumstances connected with their resrin.r. have a decided effect in prcdociDg peculiarities In pigs, and they ara also transmitted in the tload. Those cf a quiet dispo sition are always preferable, for the otvicus rea?cn that it la less trouble to take C2re of them, and they do tot waste food by CEeless uneasiness force Legs are very "hoggish" and n?ly. Euch animals are found in every breed, and shceld te pot rid of as soon aa possible. A f'hticp pig should never be bred, neither is it" a feed idea to raiae progeny from one which dees r.ot manifest at ability t look cut for itself. Such pigs are too much trcch.'e, f s they have to.te fu3?el over aad ceretactly locked after, or they will not do well. A successful breeder mast observe the peculiarities cf his pigs and regard then orefully. Some pis are naturally inclined to be ronslip,ted, and will make poor stock animals, as the progeny will inherit the?e lecnliarities, and be subject to piles and kindred disorders Some pigs are quick to jerceive things and ways, and others are stupid and contrary. Soma are wilder and cere unmanageable than others. All these cliCereuces can be distinguished, and may be icticed by en observing breeder who bis enough enthusiasm and interest in the baslrets to ta'se the trouble. 1 imagine lean always select a bow pig which will make a good breeder by a sort of ruotherly appearance which she evinces even wien quite young. There is a great deal ia the physiognomy of a pig. This ia not an nöthetical idea, but a clear cat, practical cne. The breeders should be selected on account of braics as well as body. An intelligent pie is worth more than a miM or stupid . cio. These chars c 'eristics are manifested ia these ways to-wil : A will saw will trample cd her yeuDg, and, when nursing, spring up at every little noise. A stupid one, lacking eetse. will deliberately lie down on theai, and stay there, and smother or crush them; whi e a pentle and intelligent mother will put her pips in a bunch with her snoat, before lyin.r down, and the will get down to theiaso slowly and carefully that ehe will never hurt o le. If ere squa'a she is on the alert, to know tie can? and how to relieve it. I have Been sow: exhibit a sagacity and caie with their ycurg which were almost human. Wh?a a towposseaej these characteristics. ehe shou'd te kept es long as possible: for such a one is net ccly a comfort, but very valuable. S ie may be kept as a profitable breeder till eight er tf n years cf age: the profit from her dei ending net altogether cpon her ae, bat on tfce condition cf bcr teeth for tha matlcaticncffccd. II fed cround food ohe will da weil several years longer than upon whole grain, Thegiowlh cf the tusks in an old Log will often keep the grinders apart, so that they can cot masticate grain. When this is tbe cafe they should be sawed otf cicte to the jawbone. An old sow always knows mere than a young one, and if her education is good this fact may be turcel to good account; if bad, tbe sooner she is got rid ef the better. A bid example should bs voided among pigs as well as anions peo Ie. CottlTatiBg the Garden. Philadelphia Eecorl. ' Even a small city lot may be made a source of enjoyment if cultivated as a garden. As a rule, the owners ot small pieces cf ground cultivate a larger proportion, and more numerous variety, of vegetables than the farmers. In a majority of cases the farmer gives his attention almost wholly to the fe!d crops, neglecting the garden, aad thereby depriving himself of a great many Icxuries that he could easily have if he made tfc garden a specialty. Gardens are usually rich, and if not should be made so. Two crops, and sometimes three, can be crown on tbe same ground, and &a the work is usually done with a epade, hoe and rfclce, the plants are grown c:o3er together ard the ground made more productive. Where no stock is kept artificial fertiPsrj will giye geed result in place of manure, a mixture of, -0O pounds superphosphate, 10 pouiids goano and ÖX) pounds of crude sulphate of potash making an excellent application for one acre. Onions are the earliest crop to go in, and for a garden the sets are batter than seeds. In this Eection the yellow Danvers is preferred. One quart of sets are sutticient for a small garden, though for winter use a larger quantity should be put in. For early tao!e nse tbe potato onion is hast, growing quickly end getting out of the way in time for some other crop. Of -peas the dwarf ktadj are the earliest, the American .Wonder having tbe preference. These varieties seldom furnish more than ene or two pickings, and thould therefore be planted at intervals for stceeFsive crops of the tall varieties; ths best fiavo d is the Cnampion of England. Tbe mere wrinkled the seed the bstter the variety, it is taid, but at the present time so Tracy excellent kicds have been introduced that such a rule is somewhat doubtf al. Eeets, carrots and parsnips should go in early, but rot until the ground is fair'.y warm. Tbe seeds of these vegetables are eometirces very alow In g rminatiag, and the gardener loses considerable time on tha account, while the grate and weeds are at wajs ready to spring up in the rows anl crowd cut the desirable plants. By so Tin? radiih feeds in tbe rows the radish p'anU will show the line of the rows and parmlt the me ct the hoe, ai well as yielding a crop for table use without interfering with the beets, carrots or parsnips. The Stadsnt yarenip is most generally used, aad the Danvers carrot is now a favorite, but tbe Egyp tian and long blood beets are considered the arliett for the garden. Of cabbage the Early Wyman, Early York and Jersey Wakefield may be need for the early varieties, and the Drumhead and fiat Dutch for the late crops. The Acme tomato is one of the smoothest and best, but is more liable to the rot than other varieties. The Conqueror tomato is the earliest, tut is small, and ths Rochester and Faragon are considered good varieties. 8 ach crepe a string beans, aweet corn, squa-b. epg" plant and lima beans can not go in until the season has so far advanced as to preclude the possibility of frost. Such crops as melons, pumpkins, etc, require too much pace for FTGWth to be given a place in the garden. Kale should be sown now, and a corner should be devoted to herbs. Id cultivating make the raws just wide enough to admit of free working with a hoe, and do not cover the large seeds deeper than one inch, i'rom one fourth to oneha'fan inch deep is snflicient for the very small seed. Keep down the grass and weeds when they are youcg, and but little labor will be required later. By good management a crop of slow growing vegetable may b a planted between the rows ot a quicker kind, which, being soon harvested, admits of the cultivation of the latter kind. Sncceaaive planting may be continued until quite late in the senson, finishiing with turnips, should such a crop be desirable, while late cabbage may bs planted on the gronud that baa grown peas or kale. Should a drnght occur a spriakl'.og After sundown will be beneficial; but when

this it done the garde n should be hoed occasionally to prevent baking of tbe soli. Work dene in a garden will be ionnd to ce profitable t all tirnea of the year; bot the beaity cf a rarden will consist in freedom from weeds.

ew Mthol of Bean Growing. Correfpondccce to the Country Gent'.eman.l With a good yield and frir quality of crop, bean culture Is quite proritab.e. They are r.ot exbacstive, and I tave never found a tetter crop to prepare the land for wheat. Leiongicg to the tame botanical family a9 clever the legumincsae they leave the land in a condition extremely favorable for growth of the wheit plant. Tbe navy beau will in ordinary seasons mature in eleven weeks from planting, aad ttis wi:l enable the farmer to rjw a crop of rye to lern under before planling to enricn tte land, or if be baa a piece cf land fell of foul fteds be can bv early plowing and subrequest stirricg. get moat ot the wecdsesi to start, and detioy them before the beans are r laii'.cd; to it is aen that r'ghtJy managed beats are a cleecsinR crop. In teveril counties in Southern Obio beans have been grown largely a Held crop bv a method which I have never ßeen elewhere. The land is plowed early and frequently cultivated, bo aa to kill the weeds ard get it in n'.co condition, and about tne lCih cf June the beans are drilled at the jate cf about one beshe. of seed rr acre, with the wheat drill, with every third hoe stopped. This gives two rows, eight incaes apart, then a sface cf sixteen Inches, and two more of the c'.csa rows. After sowing, the f.eld is rolled so a3 to leave it level, and nothing more isdone to the cropuntil iuaturv, when they ere cut Vfith the mowins machiLe, thus doirg away with the hard and slow werk cf pulling. It ij wise to plant as seen after a rain ai the ground can be wciked, and It is very desirable that there should be no heavy riins until tha btaos are up snd have a good start, for, if a heavy rain falls econ af.er panting, they ate likely to ret in lew eprjs, making an imperfect stand, ar.d Tho weeds will start with them and choke the crop. If, however, the conditions are favorable f.or the first few days, and the crop gets a gocd start, thy will soon cover the ground eo as to keep dewn the weeds and produce a good crop. If the leans are to be cultivated sow with the wheat drill acd make the row3 two fest apart. Cultivation ehculd be shallow and level, so as not to heap any earth up at the rows, and, with favorable weather, will need to be repeated but once, as the crorj will econ take possession of the soil. Harvesting should not be deferred until the pods are dry, or there will be loss from shelling. As econ as half the pods are yellow the crop may be cut cr pulled, and should be cared as rapidly as possible and taken to shelter aa soon as possible. If lolls with open floors can be had to store them on thsre is little danger cf danags to thf m in the bara.es tbej lionet pack closely, and tha air will cirrnlafe thiocgh quite a bunch of theai. The bt&t time to thresh bears is in clear, cold weather in winter, but if it is note nvtnier.t to keep them, there are nstatly dryirg. wirdy dass through the antunia waeo. thtvarein prime condition. The qaiciest end btsi way to thresh i3 to tramp wi'h horses, but care must ba taken not to let the l Oiste sU p on the bare öo?r, or to hve talu p'acee, or the benns will many of theru te split, which will detract from their appearat ce aril icjtsre tbt-ir tne. If the weeds have been kept dotva in tbe crcp it will be better not to plow the land fcr wfceat, bnt simply me low tie erirfjke wi h tbe cuHivaror or barrowand dcliin tbe em d, as the land wte:e beans havegroTa will ba found to pulver'zo easily. 1 have sreken only of tbe navy b?an, becu?e it n a standard variety. Oj some soils, and for i-ertain marktt3, some other variety w.d often prcve more profitable, and each gro vfr must jndee for himself what to plant. The "tree bean," which has been largely advertised fcr tome years, stems to be only an improved navy, ar.d the name I consider a mirnon er, as it dees not, as the name implies, grow in tree furm. UOISEIIOLU HIST3. Buttered Omelet. Make a th'ck square of buttered tcast, buttering it well on both sides and cutting It Into four or six piec83: let it stand before the fire to keep hot, but not Euinciently near to dry it up. Break three fresh eggs Into a stew pan over the fire (both yelks and whites), having previously melted in it a piece of batter the size ot a walnut; add a little Bait and a tablespoonful of cream or geed milk;etirit rapidly oyer the bre until it begins to thicken; then take itofl and beat it until quite smooth; set it on the hie acatn, and keep stirring it until it is very hot and thick. With a spoon heap this lightly up on to the square of buttered tcast which has been keeping hot before the fire, making it stand as high as possible, Srve instantly. Puff Taste. Take two pounds of the finest pastry iionr and the same weight ot fresh taitter. Werk the butter in a napkin until it is well freed from water. Biace the flour on the pastry slab in a heap, make a hole in the middle of it, put in it the yelks of four eggs, freed from the speck, two pinches ot salt, the juice of bait a lemon and the fourth part of tbe butter cut up in very small pieces; work the paste as quickly as ocsäible with the lingers of one hand, adding as much tepid wa'er as will make the paste smooth and ot the same consistency as the remaining one and a tali pounds of butter Beat the latter out into a tlat. square piecs an inch in thickness; roll out the paste to four times the S7ze of tbe piece of batter, lap this in the center of the paste, which yoi fold ever on each eide and roll out a?am to three times its criginal size, then fold over two sides only of the piece of paste and rell it out again as before. Kepeat this opera tion twice, cover tbe paste with a woolen cloth aad let it rest for half an hour. Toe operation of rolling out and folding np the paste is called "giving a turn." After the paste has rested two or more turns are to bs given to it and it will ba ieady. - Toad in the Hole. Mix one pint of tlour and one egg with milk e?ough to make a bater (like that for bitter cakes); add a little sait'.greaae d sh well with butter, put in larxb cnote, add a little water, with pspper and salt, psur hatter over it, and bake far an hour. Cabbage Fried with Cream. Chop a i lart of cold boiled cabbsge, fry it fifteen minutes with aumcient butter to prevent barnin. season it h'ph'y with pepper and salt, and stir into it half a cupfol of cream or o milk Mth a teaspoonfol cf 11 jar mixed with 1; let it cook five minutes longer, and serve it hot. Htrd Money Cake. Gold Fat: Take two caps of sugar, a scant cup of butter, aid work together to n cream, thsn add the yolks of fleht egg, four cups of hour and one tablespoonful of cornstarch; one cup of scur miik, witn a teaspoonful of soda in it, added the last thirg. except the flavor, which may be lemon and vaniua. silver Fart: Take two cups of sugar and one of butter. four cups of Hour and one tablespoonfiloi corn-starch, tbe whites of eight eg?s, one cup ot four milk, teaspoouful ot soda; fiavcr with almond or peach. Tat in the baking pan, alternately, one spoonfal of goia and one oi auver. Boor Man's Fruit Cake. This cake is ex eellcot as well as economical. Take one and a bait cups of brown sugar, two cupa of flour, one oi butter ana one of chopped raisins, three eggs, three tablespoons of soar milk. half a teaspoon cf soda, half a cup of black berry jam. Mix the sugar, butter and eg?s tcgether first, then the four and milk and fiult. Bake in a moderate oven. Moonshine. This desart combines a pretty appears nee with palatable flavor, and is a good substitute for ice cream. Baat the whites of six eggs in a broad plate to a very a tiff froth, then add gradually six table spoons of powdered sugar, beating for not less than thirty minutei; tnen beat in about one heaping tanlesrooon cf preierved peaches cut in tiny bits (soft, ripe, fresh fruit is bet ter if yon can get it, or some use one cop of jelly), bet on ice until thoroughly cooled. Ia service:, pour i'n each saucer some rich

cream ewcetejed and flavored with vinilla and cn tbe criara place a liberal portion of th e mcomhine. This quantity is enough for eight perecne. Banana Tie. Slice raw bananas, add butter, (ngar. allspice and vinepar, or boiled cider or diluted jelly ; bake with two crusts. In tbe South tbev use boiled aweet potatoes m this way, and regard the pie as choice. Vermicelli Pudding. Bare off, thinly, the yil'ow iicd ct one fresh lemon, and breat: a stick of cinnamon into bits, boil these in a qr ait cf milk, and then eween to taste, fctrafn through a hair sieve. Pat six ouncfs of vermicelli into the above mixture and boil it for ten minutes; beat up five whole cegs, add and stir then into r mixtsre; pour f-ll into a taking dish, and bake for half an hour. To Clean a Spice Mill. If you wiab. to clssn ycur eplce mil), jcu will liad that by frindirga taadful cf raw ric through it this cen be accomplished. The particles of fp'ce aid pepper or cf co'Jea will n)t adhere "to it ai':er this rics is ground through it. B:c:.ling Fish When about to broil ilsh it is a gocd plan to grease the gridiron well with a little le.rd. You will not be troubled then by about i-alf the f.sh sticking to the gridiron when yen attempt to remove it to the platter. Cleaning Silver Ornaments. Dissolve a lump of suda In a saucepan of boiling water

aud plsca them in it, and leave them lor a few minutes; add a small pitca of yeilo scap and rcb the articles while in a boiling etate with a ecu toith-brush. When taten out piece them In a but oven on a brick until the desired etlect is produced. Brown Soup. Take three pennies' worl'i of fresh bcnG3, put them in a largs pot wih qu.te two quarts of water, two small heads of celery, or outside of larger heao.3, two carrots, two turnip?, onions and plenty of herbs in a muslin bar. L.;t this simmer for a day 8nd a La'f, then, when wanted, thicken it and add sliced vegetables. railed Bread. Break up cdJ pieces of bread without crust into rough shapes and dip them in and out cf ccld milk. Bike on a baking sheet in a hot oven until a nice light brown color, and keep in a tin to eat with cheese. Holland Watllfs A half cupful of ren-' dered suet mixed with a pint cf aweet milk, a yeast cake, one egg, and a half nutme? and flour to make a batter. Bake in we til i irons. Smothered Chicken. rrepare the fowl as for roasting, and cook in a pot cf boiling water until tender. When within about twenty minutes of being done add a teacapful cf rice which will cosk m the gravy. Add parsley, pepper and salt, and serve the fowl on a di-h with the rice around ih Corn Bread. Mix together thoroughly ly p utting through a sieve one pound cf Indian meal and cxe pound and a half of wheat ficur, two ounces of baking powder and a tablesroonfol of salt; then beat together tfcree ouncc-s of tcgar; three ounces of butter, nsirg warm miik in winter and cild in summer; b&ke in small tins. Perpernnts. Four eg:s beaten lUht with one pound of eutr ar.d a half a pound of butter; Eud ere gill cf thick milk, oao nutmeg, oce teaspooafal of Baleratai aid flour enocgii to mate e stiff dough. Itoll aad cat into round cakes; sprinkle with sifted sagir and bake. Sardire Trt, Tate SDme sirdlr.ee, cre fully skin and tone thera. lay them on s!ic;s cf butteic-d toast, with a few drops of Icncn inire. ard pat them into tbe oven wi'h & buttered paper over to pet quite hot. Serve at once. FA II ST SOTFS. Ittays to keep one rnan in constant attendance cn thirty her.1 of fattening rattle. It pays to feed meat to the Lens two cr three times a week, as it takes the place of insect food. Gocd . corn fodder is an excellent sheep feed. It is loosening, cooling, and relieves constipation. Water contamlrg living f.sh and living vegetatien is generally in a lit etat for animals to drink. Tee principal value In a breed lie3 in the powers of assimilating food in the direction required. Grcaming the cows is not often done, but itweuid add to their spirit and comfort, however, as well at promote cleanliness. Euttc.rmilk is said to be a true milk peptone, and, with the exception of koumiss, is the mcst digestible miik product fct oarconirxand. If for butter, select cowj known to give milk rich in fat. Cows vary in this respect fjom lets ttaa 2 to 3 per cent. The averse is about ü per cent. I- you are troubled with white specks ia butter stir the cream every morning before it is c hurDf d, and the specks will not appear. So a good butter maker fays. At tie recent Holstein Breeders' Convention in Chicago it wai decided to oiler premiums el 1 000 cn butter and chefse aod a amcunt cn beef produced by Holstein cattle. A new seedless grape has just come into notice in France. It is a table grape of the Chasselas family, and its seedless character makes it especially desirable for this purpose. In eome sections the milk from the cow is not considered fit for use until the calf te at least six weeks old, it being ropy and injurious to the miik from cows that have been in longer flow. There were received in Ch'csgo dnring the year about 1! TOO tons of cheese, 84iust L'St'TStOES for the year lbS.j. The receipts cf butter were 41,700 toas, against :17,;;7 tons for 1S3. It is time to etart Vhe early plants. They may be grown in boxes in the honse, and ttea transplanted to tbe open air as eoon as tbe weather becomes warm and danger ot Ircitlsover. The fleece on the Merino la aib should be dense, well set and standing no underpressure, and if pressed doTn should have sufficient elasticity to return quickly to its upright position. Eggs contain a large quantity cf water in their composition, and hence the hecs should be provided with a liberal supply of wa'er. which js just as necessary to egg production as the focd, and often more so. - When calves are to be weaned and fed with skim Kdlic the change from whele to skim milk should be gradual, cr else scours may be tbe result. Corn meal shoold a'sa gradually added to the skimmed milt. A hill of raspberry plants, after beia2 trimmed in tbe spring, should have onlv three or four canes, about three and one-ha'f feet bigb, and nearly one inch in diameter at the base, each cane having a few side spurs about ten inches long. The roots cf plants will go down very deep in search of food. If they go deep the area of soil from wbkh to proenre food is increaFtd, and the best method fcr securing this resnlt ia to drain the land thoroughly and pulverize the soil well, Profeseor 8helLon, of Kansas, plowed under wheat stubble last August to kill the late weeds. By October 1 the ground was densely covered with volunteer wheat, which furnished the stock good pasture until win ter. Why not this in lien of rye for fall and spring food. The 1st of June ia the best time to sow German millet, but, being a quick growing crop, it may be sown as late as July. Cut when in bloom, before the beards get hard and stiff. A half bushel to three pects cf seed is aufheient for an acre, which should be covered lightly and rolled. Jn salting butter one ounce to the piund is the qcantity generally used. Bitter should be exposed as little as possible to the air from the time It is churned until packed tightly in tubs, fit for the market. Care efcould be taken never to overwork butter, is the grain and textnre shoule be preserved. The best food for producing e7gi Is a mixture composed of fifteen pounds of oats, twenty pounds of corr, ten pounds of bar

ley and ten poucdsof wheat bran, all ground trgeiber into a meal, which can be fed mixed with milk or water, or made into a bread aad baked. Those who have peas may add theoi to advantage, absnt ten pounds being sum cient, in wbicb case ten pounds more of corn thonld te added. Feed twice a day, giving ell they can eat. Parslmoo), Xt Economy. I Communicated. 1 Each individual has strange and ensxtlalneble peculiarities, eccentricities, idloejneractep, charsc'erislics whatever name ycu may see t to des'gaate it by. They are utterly inconsistent with everything else belor ging to the individual, aad not un'requently create in others a feeling akin to disgust and contempt, and as cfteu, are wholly inexcusable. Taey are generally kept at the front "worn on the r-leeve," as it were to the Ferious n arring of tbe c'herwisa comely appearance end admirable traits of the ind.vidua 1 in other iespects. Ir.diara, as an individual, is not an exception to the rule; and same of her peculiarities ate very uufortrnate for her as well es very repulsive to many g;ol andrightminded people among her large family of citizens. Among them i the ssernindy fixed idea that "public" parsimony is public economy." She hs gone so far In carrying cut this idea endeavoring to practice it, In tte blind delusion that it is profitable that she has not only c&lied out tha pity aad ELeers of her neighbois, bat she has turaed as de and obstructed the forces that were pt shingher toward the fionl in the rank of the States, and retarded her own prosress for

many years. I have been called upon more than ones to publicly condemn It, and had hotel her tmciala would abandon it. Ttat they have not done eo is very clearly demonstrated quits ottea, aad ner Eession lews are bi ennial -evidence that she still lators under the miserable hallucination. Ehe is en inland State, far from the seaboard, but ehe has the largest Capital city of any State in the I'nion. She has more acres cf gocd land in proportion to ner area, ana greater facilities for transportation m pro portion, than any other State. Her natural resources a:o mere valuable and durable. considering other things, than those of any other State of the saoie area, tree from mountain?, with great water-ways by lake and river, situated miday among the greatest States, with a population exceptional for enterprise and intelligence, she should and could nave been the second btate in the Union at least, but for her few peculiaritie?, the most inimical and least defensible of which is this illusory idea that "publio par simony is public economy." Her colleges cave been starved and treated like tramps Echolerly and wealthy people have had lare sums to bestow on such institution?; but they have ehunned these of Indiana aad made ecdowicents on those of every other fctate, because her legieiatnres nava treated them as if they were unworlhy of existence. The State University, the Siate Normal, and Purdue, hae been sneered at and kicked Out of the Legislature as if they were poor relations who were foreirg themselves upoa the State and were un wcrthv cf recognition. Had they been lib erally fostered by the State to day tbey would tave bt en r:chly endowed by weal tny men ard women as objects worthy of great gift?, ard need r.ot be begcars forenongh to barely exist, and be compelled to receive that with treeis ard cchtamehous cuisca for daring ta ask for something. There afe roany like instances in her h"3 tcry relating to various things. Ths imaie dice occasion of this article is Profes-or Ccliett's repcrt as Siate Geologist. My fi?e fairly burned with mingled shame and indignaücB as I taw his report cf receipts und ezpencitores. The tetal anpror ration wns $1"0 per month, or il.N'.O per year about the silary of a sejocd cU.-s bookkeeper in a second class commifsicn house. Tbe expenditures were 51,40-1.(0; prcdac.ng a book of nearly 10 p sges, with engravings, maps and the la bor tf several scientists m dilierent depart rxenfs and branches, paid ' out by the State Geologist, ud be "re!ie3 on the jnstice of Indiana" to reimburse him. Gocd Lord! Justice? A tense of justice in eucn a soulless body.' John oltett, a man honored by the wisest among tte wisest men at heme and abroad as among the first in his profession, who has given to Indiana his skill and labors to the development of her wonderful natural re sources and brought to ner millions ot dollars cf capital, aud given her an interna Uonal reputation John Collatt is com pelled to rely on tbe jnstice of a State that appropriates $1,800 for her State Geologist to pay his services and Ealary to refund to him three quarters of his salary, advanced by him Jn necessary expenses. And he furnishes vouchers lor every item, even down to 2 paid for packing reports to be cent out under the law to the various coon ties! Lock at these items and sums in tbe fore part of the book and then at his man in the back part, and the Indianian's cheek that does not redden with shame lu-.t be a quf er compound to take human shape. If there is any one thing that should have been made the EUbject of liberal appropria tiona it should have been geology. It should have been made a department and every en ergy supplied to it; tbe ablest professors. with, a corps of assistants; and aid should have been given with a liberal hand. Had this teen done it would have repaid the S ate a thousand fold. Thank fortune for giving us John Colleth There was norhing little in him, and tbe State has the invalua b!e benefits of his voluntary labor and per sonal sacrifice, to his own honor aud her sbarre. It is high time for Indiana to real 'ze that it is net wise "to eave at the spigot ar d spill at tbe bunguole." Compare the appropriations made to pay tne "nangers on" aDout the existing General Assembly since last January (the clerks and janitors and other so-called employes, an pointed for the Houses and committees, fully one-hall of whom have nothine to do, and not oyer seven or eight work two hours a day i with that for the services rendered in the Geological Department. Compare the valce to the State of tbe work fand the world, for that matter) in the two places. Compare the mental caliber and acq aire meats of the occupants of the two places. Even compare the General Assembly itsaif and tee value cl its wort, as a whole, with Its cost. The former runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the latter dcei not reach tbe plural cumber of thousands in Indiana. Look at other States and see the contrast with Indiana in the estimate placed on the value of geological investigation, and of tbe services of competent men to make it. Let Indiana's legislators have done with ttis picayune policy. Let the vicious leaks in the Treasury be stopped for thsy are not few and let such liberal aid be given for ths development cf ths State's highest Interests as will command tha best results, and give . us ee'f-resrect at home as well as respect abroad. We have neither now in this con nection, and are not entitled to any. C. H. R. Plymouth, April 1G.

EXEIUL GRANT.

! the Old Hero Ijl"C Because or Medical Intolerance? The American Homeopathist has an article cn the treatment ot General Grant by the allopaths, in which it save: "General Washington was murdered by his medical attendants; but at least they were herocial'y too heroclally endeavoring to extinguish the disease. Their brutality wa3 of the active sort, and in purpose commendable, though diic?trous in result. General Gaifieid we maltreated for month3 un der an error cf diagnosis, aud at last escaped beyond the reach of the eminent torturers. Here, also, Uexe wis much medical hero's aa and ectivity displayed, a'.leit misdirected. Other illuitrious patients- have suiTerei from eminence ia the profession; but General Grant teems reserved as a shining example of cold blooded expec'ancy. To him ths lit tle group ci eminence have nothing to otter bat a diagnosis-. Fcr him they proposa no relief but ia the grave. Ignor ing the only tource of therapeutic Ealvalien, they gather round his bedside to ctseive bia unaided struggle. Tte fiat has gone forth that nothing can be done ; and nothing will be permitted to be done. Ihoe who question scch a decision are quacks and cranks; tut who ought not to be proud of such a designation from such a source Schtlarly, mined, cultured, earnest cent'emen a? tfcey are, of what avail are all these good qca'tiea in the.presence cf such thera peutic bankruptcy r on tue contrary, wiiue ea-c&ihd scientific medicine ia to the fore, well may the datly papers announce In startling headlines, ."A bad day for Geaeral Grant set en dociors in coaialtatton." Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying! Kewhokrew no tear in war, knows no fear in Building. His quiet fortitude wins universal admiration. President Lincoln, in visiting a hospital during the late war, noticed a poor Confedeiats boy, mortally woundeJ. With his native tenderness he put his arms around Lis reck in svmpathy. The sight melted the hospital to tears. The heart of tte American people in like reamer bleeds for Grant, the silent sutterer. It v ould have him get well, by any effective means. Hi3 physicians eay he can not recover. They fiil him with anodynes, but despite favorable bulletins be is daily growing worse. A specialist who has won reputation in toe treatment cf cancer visits his bad side. The opposition he encounters from the attending physicians brings painfully to mind the story cf the dog in the manger. And uer eral urant, perhaps, must iia necauee of this intolerance! I it prcssibls thu there is no hope cf cure cutside of the medical profesiou? 1 repesterouü For yeais medical men insisted that certain fevers weie incurable, but Chincona proved the contmy. For centuries they have protested that certain renal disorders were incurable, and jet a Fpcc.al preparaMcn has cured and permanently cured th9 very worst cases. Why may it not be possible In like manner to core a cafe of cancer? B. F. Lvratee, of Boston, was doomed to daath by many eminent Boston physicians. J. U. Henien, M. D.. of BocheUer. N. Y was given up by the best doctor of all siiiools. Eldr J. S. Pxescott. of Cleveland, Ohio. vis gravely informed by them that ho could net live, aud jet these rxen acd thousands like thf m tave been cured permanently of sarioas kidney disorders by a remedy not ofn cially known to the code. What has been dene may be dooe asrain. General Acscn Stager died cf ßrijht's disease in Chicfigo lat week. ' Joe" Goss, the Eoston pugilist, died of it. Hundreds of thousands of people perish of it ever year, while in their dactot's hands. The cause of death rxey be called blood poisoning, paralysis, heart disease, convulsions, apoplexy, pneumonia, or some other common ailaient, but the real difficulty ia In the kidneys. ThysiciaES know it but the they conceal factfrom their pstiente, realizing their inability to cure by "authorztd" means. The remedy that currd Larrabee and Henion and Prescott (i. e., Warner's safe cure) ia a special, independent discovery. Its record entitles it to recognition, and it gets it from intelligent people. Its manufacturers have an unsullied reputaticn and arefentitWd to as great consideration as any school physicians. Profe?8or It. A. Gunn,il. D.,Dean of the United States Medical College of New York City, rises above prafes3ionai prejuics and on its personally proved merits alane gives it several psges of tbe warmest commendation In his published works the only instance on record of a high professional endorsement of such a preparation. The unprejudiced people do not want General Grant to die. If there is in all nature or anywhere in the world a remedy or a nan able to cure his cancer, give them a char cp. ' Will they do it? No. Whj ? Is it cot too often the case that mauy excellent physicians who are greatly devoted to the cede would prefer that their patients Ehculd die rather than that they should recover health by the use of any remedy not recognized under their code? FASHION AS IT tXIES. New Katerials-TTalhtDg- Costumes Varieties. Printed muslins, long d'scarded, are coming in fashion. The patterns are mostly sprays cf Mowers, mcst exquisitely copied from nature, hedge roses, blue corn flowers, forget me nots, scarlet poppies, dainty heliotropes, and golden-centered daisies, pictured in all their natural tints on grounds of white cream, pale blue, roee, pearl gray, pale buff and black. The new cashmeres, which are handsome in color and very fine in texture, rival the chevio's, diagonals, and other cloths for day wear. Shades of brown, blue, acd red, that are new and soft, are tbe moat popular. Many cf theee cashmeres are combined with plaid, the cashmere, cf course, forming the plaited skirt. Embroidared woolens are also pcpular. Later in the season satteenswill be ex'ensively worn. Among tbe novehles are "Kensington crapes." with crinkly surfaces exactly like India crape, and of the most exquisite timings. These are manufactured by an armure weaver, and. therefore, even tbe laundries can have no effect upon the "crink'e" of the goods. These are "pure cotton" fabrics, bit are said to be just as serviceable as the lovely French sattc ens which this season excel in beauty of color and desien all previous productions ot the kind. The delioate and exquisitely fine veilings, albatrcss goodi, and otber light-weight summer woolens appear in tbe most beautiful dyes ot pale rose, softest blue tintiegs called "Minerva's eye," blue and turquoise, dove gray, cream, ecru, and pure white in the plain goods; and others have similar grounds sprinkled with pink buds and mosses, sprays of geranium blossoms, and leaves and Dowers In all their natural colorings. Tbe deiicate-hued mouseline delaines are sheer and light, and altogether lovely. WALKING COSTCMES. A new and handsome walking costume shows a wrap of Ottoman silk, with dowers of velvet in relief, and Is trimmed with the new tassel fringe in three shades of brawn, an ecru or unbleached tone, a golden brown, and a dark wocd color.

Tbe bow cf ribbon cn the side cf tbe neck instead cf in front is a fancy cf the moment, Plain skirts, that is, skirts without llccrcep, cr pleatings, either perfectly ptif.n cr trimmed only with rows of braid or overlapping tucks, are growing in favor. Tartars are to be much wcrn both down on the forehead aud back on the head like a bonnet. They can bs made cf a variety of naterials, straw, crepe,. cloth to match the tli ess, and lit sl goods. One pretty model, with a crown cf fine straw, has the brim covered with dsrk green v.-lvet. The trimming consists o! a full montare of oak leaves in green and brown etades.

Ui-i iLe richest silk to dresses of satteen or eiap'.e white mrlin. Black beaded laces are in high favor, and are used on black silk dresses with entire fronts cf jetted or bead embroidered lace. Much gold tinsel i3 also used in laces, and both black aud cream colored laces are shown for trimming, embroidered with gold thead. Bullion laces are a novelty, made cntirly of gold. It must be admitted that these have a rather theatrical effect. L'ama lace, which has been out cf favor for several years, has again made its appearance as a candidate for popular favor, end with Marquise and French lace if one of thcrrost fashionable decorations fcr black silk dj esses and wraps. A WAK RELIC. Generr.l Lee's Fareueil Order &M&ruling tlie Armj cf Korthrrn Virginia at Appomattox. Perkersburg, W. Va., sprc'.a! : A valuable ware lelic, and cue which is of peculiar interest at this time, when the commander of the Federal armies is lying at death's d:or, Las been discovered in this city among the old papers of a well-known gentlemen. The relic is a copy cr the laet cenrel field order issued by General Hoben E Lee to the Army ct Northern Vire;in?a jast after th9 surreitier to General Graut at" Arpamattox Court house. The order is printed in large, full fCd type npoa aa ir.fericr. faded, and tattered piece of paper, and reads as follows: HEAr.;itRTr.rs Ar.MV Noirr:r:;r.- Vir. inia, April 10, IMS. Cieneml order No. : After lour yeiirs of aidnotis aervii'S. marked by uusurpsmd courags and fortitude, the Army ot Northern Virginia h3 been ccrtpehttl to yield to cverwbelmiue numters red resources.

With an nnceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion 10 your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind aad generous considerations for myself, I bid you an a'lectlonate larewelL E. . Lee, General. The gentleman owning the order received it from a Confederate Captain who was on the fieM when a courier came dashing by from General Lee's headquarters and hands! him two copies by mistake. The cliicer prsserved them both, fcr, as he said, it was his only recompense cf four years of hard service, and he prized them very much. For kind services rendered him by the gentleman now owning this order, the Captain gave it to him. These orders are now very rare, and the possessor cf this one thinks it is the only one in exitdencs. Laws It-.at Need Head jastment, ;.t. Louis Post-Dispatch. For forging an order for SI a poor fellow named Kowan has been eentenced to the Khode Island State Prison for five years, although on his first trial the defense of insanity was bo strong that the jury disagreed. Yet the theft of millions by stock-watering operations, or by frauds and breaches of trust more wicked and dangerous than forgery, gees on unpunished by the courts and almcet without legal interdiction. The trutbds that mcst ct our criminal law was made tor a simpler state of society and haman activity than prevails at pre:ent, and, while nearly all of our legislators are lawyers, the conservatism of the profession is arrayed like a wail cf reck against a more logical ad j ustment of our code to tho requirements of the times. The World' Heroes. Indianapolis Labor Signal. The man who displays courage, forlitude and self sacrifice, and gives up the ties of friendship and association that he may practice a principle which he believes to be right, is a hero in private life. A man wbo acts out a principle because it is right will meet with bis reward somewhere a'oogia liie. It will likely not be to-day. Ic will meet him on one of the to morrows of life. There are many of the world's heroes unknown. In the Interest of Feform.

The Herald now nvites his attention to the pious Be publican Pc&toihceof Hell, Minn., aud suggests that that be changed to Dolly Varden or something elee in the interest of reform. The First Keen Twinge. As tbe eeason advances, the pa!ns and aches by which rheumatism makes iteelf known are experienced after every exposure. It ia not claimed that Hood's Sareaparilla is a specific for rheumatism we doubt if there is, or can be, such a remedy. But the thousands beaefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla warrant as in urging others who außer from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twinge. An Impertinent Oary. ITexasSif lings. Did a woman ever clean up a rented house when she moved out oi it; and did she ever fail in expressing her opinion, ranging from mild vituperation to emphatic condemnation, of tbe horrid condition in which her predecessor had left the premises into which the moves?
