Farm work in March is more dependent upon the weather and climate than that of any other month, and although our Southern readers will be well forwarded with their potato planting, and even have their spring grain sown, before the month comes in, whether it comes "like a lion," or "like a lamb," we of the frigid North may have still three feet of frost in the ground, and perhaps good sleighing up to the 25th, northeasters lasting a week, spring Hoods, and roads which neither horses' feet nor, wagon wheels can find bottom in, may be the order of the day. So bints about work must be taken with liberal allowance for the waywardnessof this f rst spring, and last winter month. New seeds and new tools should not be lost sight of, and it will often pay to test the former in small quantities; then, if they d well, you will have. some seed yourself and may easily get more. Ve need not reaain 1 our 'readers to be beforehand with their werk. Spring grains can hardly be in the ground too soon after the frost is out. Pota toes follow as soon as there is reasonable warmth in the ground. Grass seed and clo ver may be sown with spring grain, and clover on winter grain is best sown upon one of the last light winter snows. The earlier manure is out upon grass and grain land, the better. Even when the manure is intended for a corn crop, and not to be plowed under under until the first part of May, the gain in the growth of grass will more than compensate the loss by the action of rains and dry ing wiuds, except upon hillsides and spots where the land is especially exposed to the washing of heavy rains. It is rare that the month passes without warm and dry weath er sufficient to put the ground in condition for plowing throughout the. great middle corn and small jrrain belt ot tne country. Preparing for Spring Work American Agriculturist. The comparative idleness of winter makes the hones' shoulders tender, and unless they are hardened, plowing will soon mate them sore, lhe best hardener is strong, pure brine. Apply it with a rag tied around the end of a corn-cob. During the work season, as soon as the collar is removed, wash thj shoulders and apply tl e salt water. It touaens the flesh, and also cools the shoulder, allaying all irritation and inflammation. Dis card all collars much worn, and select ne v ones row when you have plenty of time. Take the horse to the. harness-shop; do not Duy a collar until you get one that nts well. It is a common fault that one side is harder than the other; be careful to get a collar of equal hrmness throughout, and not lumpy, and if it ts perfectly, the firmer it is the tetter. " Give all the harness an oiling now, be cause the oil will be absorbed better than when the weather is warm. Take the har ness to pieces and wash it clean with lukewarm water, using a dull knife about the buckles to remove the dirt Use pare neats-foot oil (you will have to pay a good rrice for it. but use no other) with enough caster " oil to scent it, and keep the mice away. Apply the oil moderately warm on toth sides of the leather, all this is rapidly acsorDea. men nang the harness in an airy place to dry thoroughly. Two oihngs of harness, except the collars, a year is enough; but the collars thould be oiled every two weeks during tLe work season, and the sweat and dirt be removed each morning with a dull knife. Give the woodwork of the plows a coat of paint Mineral paint is very cheap and anhwers this" purpose as well as more expensive paints. But use the best of loil. . If the plows &re dull, take them all to the shop now, when worfc is not pressing. Strengthen weak places. Do not wait for breaks: they always occur when the article is in use, hence they occasion delay. Give the whimetrees the same attention recommended for the plows. About the easiest way to make a dollar is to take time by the forelock. Bee Kotes for March. The 'experience of many beekeepers, not all novices, is that while they can get their bees through the winter welL the early ' spring is the most trving time. The life of. the worker bee is short at best and the great proportion of those that go into winter quarters die beiore the season is half over. isew broou muse oe reared to maintain the V 1 ., 1 . ii strength of the colonies. It is often fatal to success to start colonies at wort rearing brood too soon, which is done when they are placed too early upon the stands before the weather remains -continuously propitious. It is better to wait Colonies coming through the wipter very strong mav be tru&ted out earner than weakly ones. Warm weather will excite the bees to activity; if this occurs unusually early, the co'.ocies should be fcept as i met as possible. When the red buds of the soft maple put forth, the bees, as a rule, may be safely released from their imprisonment. Queens are liable to disease and death, and it happens that some times a colony is without a queen. In such ' a case it may be united with a weak one that has a queen, if both, after close examination prove healthy. If honey is exhausted, feed: and it is well to place lino, unbolted Sour where it is accessible to the bees They use it in place of pollen, if few flowers are open ct tne weatner rougn. Farm Work for March. (American Agricult urist.) March is, of all months, the most d insult one for which to assign any special work. It etacds in the calendar as the first month of spring, but in the Northern States it is most frequently the last month of winter. It is the latest time to which those who design to plant fruit trees or small truitscan safelv deJar ordering them. If in doubt as to what Taneties to plant consult an experienced fruit grower In the neighborhood. A family orchard and fruit garden should iaclude va rieties to cover the whole season. Far an orchard near a market town, a good share of early apples will pay well. The injuries to young trees or giraung Dy rabbits and mice are numerous. Is any of the inper bark is left on the wound, apply a thick plaster of ow-aung and loam, bound on with bagging or other coarse cloth, to keep the parts moist cntil thev can heal. . If coniDletelv eirdled. then grafts must be inserted to bridge over the injury. When trees are received from the nursery, unpack them and heel them in at once, cntuo not plant until the soil is well prepared. It is a mistake to graft old trees too early. Wait until the buds of the tree begins to swell. Spring Plow log. In plowing small fields, it is the easiest way toset a plow in at the bars entering ttie l ew. arid loiiow the ience around. Ussides, if the work is to be done by proxy.the plow a, an needs little watchirg. except to see that he keeps his Inrrows true and of tue reiu red 4ptb, and lays the od well over, that one i" tempted to allow it, and thus at every , plowing the toil is heaped up against the " outbid of the field. "Uack-furrowing." or lelUaboot," if. of course, the only remedy. CoiurjiOn arm hands make such b a ngl in sr. work of this that it is neccessary to sttke cut tLe furow for them and watca Vvn besides, especially in Irregular field". Wii-irc properly done, the entire field is plowed in

one 4'land," unless it is very much broken

up. The old dead furrows, left when the held was last plowed, may ordinarily be seen, and will serve as a guide. They will probabjy be found quite accurately in me cenwr. 10 lay out siut lur uatiL-iur-rowiug the line of the first row should be well staked midway between two parallel sides. It should not come nearly to the other sides, and in plowing the land plowed thould imitate in its beginning and progress the linishoI a held plowed outward ir.m the center. Thus, after plowing a few far rows, carrying the plow around at ths ends of the land, the plow is run across the ends and not taken out again until the field is hnished. In plowing old ground for spring grain the dead furrows will come in the middle of the field in all probability, uiless it be plowed in several lands. To make smooth work after the land is plowed turn half a dozen furrows "left about" back into the dead furrow, plowing the two inner ones deep, and the next two shallower, an J the next two mere scratches, inns plowed tne field may be sowed and seeded down with out a dead furrow, if well harrowed. Lit e Stock in Maren. The neglect of stock in the spring, entails heavy loss all through the summer; especially is this true with horses that have to carry the burden of spring work. Without making sn peril uous llesh, they should be gradually fed up and kept at work sufficient to harden them, so that when the plowing has to be done, they will be in good working order. You must not stint the supply of food to the cows that are fresh, or they will loe so much flesh that the milk yield will be materially cut down all through the sumer, for the cow win look alter her own flesh, before she will devote herself to the milk pail. Give the calves and young things generally, that generous care that surely starts them on a successful career. Neglect of the young is the first step toward shiftless farming. I he cold rams and norm winds 01 this month are much more trying on all kinds of live stock than colder and drier weather. For this reason . keep all stock housed that can be. Do not allow warm days to deceive you into keeping the ani mals out at night, when they are naeiy to become painfully chilled. 23 Arbitration Best for Farmers. American Agriculturist Arbitration is almost invariably preferable to litigation. Jt is not only the easiest. quickest and cheapest way to settle disagree ments, but saves much vexation and subse quent dissention. Where individuals, cor porations and nations, to arrange their dis putes by arbitration, instead of resorting to litigation and warfare, and the people would be savf d millions of treasure, and the world spared much sheddidg of blood. A peaceful settlement of difficulties is usually followed by prosperity, while "going to law'" or war, usually results in loss and suffering to both constituents. Indeed, litigation and warfare, are twin relics of the dark ages, and 8) long as they continue in vogue, we may look in vain for harbingers of the promised miUenium. Of all lasses, farmers should so far as possible avoid entering into litigation, for whether tbey wm or lose, they are proverbially worsted, the lawyers usually taking the cream and leaving enly the skim-milk to the winning contestant. Truly, there is neither glory, nor honor, profit nor pleasure in litigation, and the less people who profess to live "on the square," and according to the Commandments, have to do therewith, the better it will be for both their present and future peace and prosperity, hven in the most aggravating cases of trespass, and the like, no good citizen should resort to the law until all amicable attempts at settlement have failed. Indeed, and finally, whatever may be the provocation, don't get mad and impulsively prosecute your neighbor, but Keep your temper and arbitrate. "Kohemlan Oat." Farmers in several parts of the country inouire as to the so-called "Bohemian Oat," and about the "Co." engaged in selling them. The old "Skinless" oat was some years ago sold under the name of "Bohem ian," and we are informed that the gram now sold is similar. The Skinless is a very old variety, that is valued in Europe, but has not met with marked success in this country. The present interest in these Bohemian oats is not so much in their in trinsic value as a farm crop, as in the man ner in which they are sold. The agents who go about the country selling these oats at ten dollars a bushel, induce farmers to purchase by a promise to sell for them from their (the farmer's) crop, twice as many bushels as they purchased, at the same price ten dollars.' The farmer is induced to buy ten bushels of the oats for one hundred dollars, by the hope of selling twenty bushels for two hun dred dollars, and he thinks this is guaranteed to him by a "bond ' given by the seller. This bond, in spite of the abundance of green and red inks, its very broad seal (in tended to loot like gold, but is only Dutch metal), and the bold signature of a Secretary, this "bond," so-called, has no more m'nding effect than a mere memorandum. Care of Young LamH A newly dropped lamb is insignificant, yet it has an ultimate value of several dollars. We have at times realized from $10 down to 3.50 per head for oar crop of spring lambs. and these small sums may mate np in the aggregate, a large amount. lhe lambs are tterelore to be carefully nursed through their weak and heloless stage, and then fed judiciously but liberally. Over-feeding is the great danger. A small quantity of warm, fresh cow's milk, given to a weak lamb three times a day through a nursing bottle, will help it wonderlully. hen the lambs are three or four weeks old, an onnce daily for eacn lanio, o: a mixture or corn and rye ground together finely, will be serviceable. It is, however, better to feed half a pint of it daily to each ewe, which will help the lamb more man H it were given to it "The 1 "armer Pays for All." , Cincinnati Commercial. The correlation and independence of all labor, and the way that it pulls at last on agriculture, ace set forth in as deeply hid den a way as the unutterable philosophy which they say is hidden in the Shakspeare plays, in that profound bucolic allegory, in wnicn the bereit little mouse, trying to re deem from the knightly cat its long tail, goes to the cow for milk for the cat, and the cow demands hav for he milk, for which the mouse goes to the farmer, who gives the hay, for which the "cow lets go the milk, for which the cat relinquishes the tail. All the forcing of wages, all the protection and all the cutting off of tails, come at last upon agriculture, in which is none of the luxury 01 unions, strikers, boycotts and knights. HOl'SKHOLU HINTS. Mahogany and redwoods, natural and stained, are in the ascendency for cabinet furniture. White paint that has become discolored may be nicely cleaned be using a little whitening in the water for washing. Carpets should never be shaken, as their weight inclines them to part, but be laid on a rope and then beaten at the back. Brass handles of elegant and varied forms are attached, instead of tasselled cords, to the lower parts of blinds, for drawing them down.' The lace of a small mantel clock shines out from the center of a crimson velvet bag, from the month of which peep out a cluster of violets in porcelain. Muslin curtains attached near the ceiling above a toilet table are not only becoming by their folds parted to right and left, but protect the glass from the lodgment of float ? - I. e 1 . ing epeciis 01 tust.

When putting glycerine on chapped hands first wash thsrn .thoroughly in : soap and water, and when not quite dry r"ub in the glycerine. This process will be found much better than the old one. A very soft and pretty fringe for home made rugs is to be obtained by ravelling out the good parts cf old stockings and mittens; the crinkled appearance is its pretty feature, and it will last for a long time. Tie crust can be kept a Week, and the last be as good as the first, if put into a tightcovered dish, and keept in a cool place. We have frequently done this, both summer and winter, and it has always been perfectly successful. Dr. Von Gallhorn, who had been greatly troubled with insomnia, tells us of the method which he has found effectual for two years in curing it. It consists in bandaging one leg up to the knee with several layers of wet calico, and covering these with a sheet of waterproof cloth. This procedure dialates the vessels of the leg, and by di minishing the amount of blood in the head induces sleep. Capital omelets may be made thus: Soak a slice of bread in milk until perfectly soft Beat it up with a fork and put in a littie salt. Beat np two eggs and pour upon the bread ; see that there are no lumps, and after putting a piece of butter the size of a butternut into the frying pan, pour in the batter and cook till brown. Fold it together and slip off upon a hot dish. This omelet will not Jail, lite most. A little chopped ham or a few chopped oysters spread on before folding will suit some tastes. The treatment of chilblains is both general and local. The health must be most careful ly attended to. Tonics may be freely administeredcod liver oil. iron and quinine are all very beneficial combined with a liberal diet The parts which are the seat of chilblains must be kept thoroughly warm, and the child should also be encouraged to take as much exercise as possible. The stockings must be woolen, and the boots and gloves warm and roomy, so as not tn com press the hands or feet The parts may be further stimulated by rubbing, and it is often advisable to use some mild stimulatiag liniment, such as soap liniment, or ammonia liniment Spirits of any kind, such as brandy or gin. may be employed for rubbing the part. When the chilblains become broken the parts must be kept at re3t, and it may be necessary to apply poultices or warm water dressing for a time until the discharge has ceased. The best dressing for them after this period is any mild stimulating ointment spread upon a soft rag. Kesin ointment or ointment of the exide or zinc are both very useful. KAUM NOTKS. Permanent pastures do not succeed on high, dry ground, where the soil is light and sandy. The rerort is general that bees in the West have come through the winter in excellent condition. The wav to get manure is to to make it. and the time to use it is as soon after it is made as practicable. Gravel acts in the place of teeth in fowsls. This serves to help grind down the food in the gizzard. Keep them supplied. lhe sharper the gravel the better. Bemedy for leaking teats: If a fine Indiarubber ring is put high up around the udder of a cow that drops her milk, just after milking, and kept there for a week, or longer, if nccssary, it is a "sure cure." I have found it to be so a number of times. The man who drugs his horse to make his hair sleek and "shiny" shows little sense. The best means to keep the coat glossy is careful and daily grooming. This, with plenty of oats and water and an occasional bran mash, is all the horse need when in health. The arsenic groom should be dis charged. When a stamp is burned, piling around it some sods, which will become heated throughout, changes them to a valuable ma nure, in some parts of England it is a common practice to gather sods from waste places, which, after thoroughly drying, are burned, and the ashes and charred earth spread on cultivated fields. If you have let your work -horses unfor tunately get thin during the winter, lose no time in feeding up. The full strength ot the animals will be required in plowing and seeding time, it is poor economy to stint animals upon w ; :ch so much depends in successfully prose j ting the labors of the farm. it is, in fact, pour economy to let any farm animal get thin. It would be a grand thing if the ewes could have two feeds of mangles or turnips, or su gar beet or jotatoes, every week. Corn alone is dehcient m albuminoids. Bran is a capital ingredient to be included in the ration of breeding animals, as it contains so large a percentage of phosphates of lime, a thing very essential to grow the bones of the offspring. An alleged "remarkable discovery" of a "Boston scientist," who has been shedding the light of his presence upon the inhabitants of the "greasewoou" and sage-brush covered plains of Nevada, is that a very fine quality of honey is made from the flowers of the former growth, and it is now proposed to stock the region with bees for the purpose ot utilizing the abundant bloom. The use of incubators apjears to be on the increase. The most successful breeders are evidently using them, and many f their prize chickens were hatched in "this way. Good breedeis say that they can raise 80 per cenl.of .incubator chickens with the use of brooders and constant care. The idea of supposing that an incubator can think and keep track of its own thermometer is absurd. A good condition powder may be cheaply prepared on the farm, a mixture or one pound penugreek, one pound gentian, one pound alt, one pound sulphate of soda, an ounce of sulphur, a pound of phosphate of soda, half a pound of chloride of iron and half a pound of black antimony, given in tablespconful doses t wice a day will geatly assist the appetite and promote the condition of the animals. A white corn is being extensively adver tised in Missouri as something new and of extraordinary value because of its color and flouring qualities. Itis a good corn, but few :il rn ; . ? . . . . . win ieei iixe paying ior 11 a pouna, or one fourth that price. It is not new, and for gen eral purposes is worth little or nothing more tban the corn in ordinary use. Many of our older readers will readily call to mind the old Tuscarora corn which they loved so well ior roasting ears. Australian wheat estimates put the year's crop at 10,01.",Ohj bushels, or a decrease of about 1,500,6X) bushels, as compared, with last year's estimates. It has been found very dillicult to obtain an estimate this year. as the crops are very patchy, and good and l. 1 1 7 . .1 1 . uau crops are iounu in tue same uisincts. After deducting the requirements for con sumption and seed, there is said to be a re mainderof N2. 133 tons available for export, or about ii ,iju tons less than last year. The British Dairy Farmers' Association has offered a gold medal for the best twelve months' dairy record of a farm with not less tban twenty cows, and Trofcssor Long and Mr. James Howard suggested the offering of scholarships and diplomas for proficiency in dairying. The Experimental Committee of the Association has visited Sudbury, near Derby, and selected thirty cows, which, in three lots of ten each, are being fed with prescribed daily rations, and the results noted.

By the time the fruit is as large as walnuts, he takes a long pole and knocks off all but a moderate crop. The Kambo is commonly an ulternate bearer; but after thinning as described .in the abundant year, a full crop was borne the next vear following. In this wav he

states that he has five Kambo trees bearing every year, from which he has gathered a hundred bushels of apples. Bat these trees re not neglected nor left to themselves. He keeps up the fertility by the run of hogs and turning under clover. The first prefectoral report on the autumnsown crops of France has just been issued by the Department of Agriculture, lhe sum mary shows that the conditions under which sowing was effected were very good in 5 departments, good in2.r, fairly good in 24, medium in 24 and bad in 2. The area sown is above average in 7 departments, average in 53 and below average in 20, so that the wheat acreage is no doubt considerably under arerage altogether. The present appearance of the crops is described as very good in 8 de partments, good in 44, fairly good in 2, me dium in 6 and bad in tl. The general conclu sions to be drawn from theae figures are de cidedly favorable to the autumn-sown crops, of which the chief, of course, is wheat. ' De Candolle stages that oats will persist longer when sown by themselves tban al most any other plant, lhe origin of the plant he locates in eastern Europe and Tarwry. Oats played a less important part in the earlier history of the race than either wheat, barley or rye. Ancient civiltzition was the product of a hot country. Oats did not come into important use until the stronger civilization of northern Europe found tnem to be a necessary article of diet. In our own country oats stands the third cereal in importance. The crop of 184 was 583,f;2o.000 bushels, against 130,000,000 in 1844. Over bO per cent, of the croo was grown in the comparatively small space cut off py a line drawn through the southern boundary ot l'ennsyivania to the middle of jsebraska and then north to the British line. William K. Newton, of Faterson, N. J writes: Analyses made in New York State to the number of over 2-50 show that 12.5 per cent, is the proper average of solids, and in over 300 analyses of absolutely pure milk made in New Jersey not one was found as low as 12. It has been conclusively shown that any attempt to lower the standard is taken advantage of by milk dealers to reduce the milk by the addition of water. Massa chusetts takes the correct view, that a high standard is better for the public, and that while individual cows may produce milk below the limit of 13 per cent of solids, yet the mixed milk as offered for sale should be of a quality equal to that limit. The state ment made that the Milk Committee of the British Society of Fublic Analysts had ad opted a limit of 11.5 per cent of solids is only partially correct, for that limit is based on a specific method of analysis which is much more rigorous than the one commonly used in this country. A German paper quotes Kanger Gerucke, of Breslau, as saying the story of German lorest trees reaching i.uuo years of age is a fable. Even the age of the so called "histo rical" trees 700 to 800 years, is not estab lished, while no German tree has reached such an age in a sound condition. He says that the greatest age is reached by coniferous trees, and not by foliage trees. lhe oldest found tested by the annual rings have reached an age of from 500 to 570 years, these trees being the red pines of the Bohemian forest and the pines of Finland and Sweden. The silver furs in the Bohemian forest show ed an age of 429 years. The larch, as found in Bavaria, has given an age of 274 years. The oak appears to be the oldest of leafing trees, the oldest example being found at Aschafienburg viz: 410 years. The oldest red beeches are 245 years (Aschaffenburg) and 22b years ( eiswasser). lhe maximum ages of other trees are as follows: Ash, 170 years; elm, 130; birch, 100 to 200; asp tree, 210; red alder tree, 145; maple tree, 221. A VISIT TO WORTH'S. The Famous Establishment Where the Fashions are Formed. fans Correspondence Sau Francisco Chronlck'.l VI all places thai i ftate to enter the ntn is a dry goods house, and next unto it the one most feared is a dressmaking establishment Year before last, to oblige one of the best women in the world, I ventured into Worth's place to see her dresses, and last year I called on Mme. Morin for the same charming Californian, but I'd rather go auywhere else than into one of these feminine resorts. Ilecently, however, I interviewed Worth and learned more about modes m two visits than I ever knew before. This famous dressmaker is by no means the only great one in Paris. The firms of Morin A: Blossier, of Felix, of Mme. Martel, and of two or three others, are quite his equal; but this is the one most talked about. He occupies the entire building at a rental of 120,000 francs, a year, and in the height of the season employs about 1,000 persons, all of whom are paid by the month. They are given their meals in the house, but must lodge themselves, and that elsewhere. Two short flights lead up to the floor where feminine employes are ready to attend all visitors. A few are saleswomen, but most of them are models on which the styles are shown. Model women in dress making establishments are ditterent crea tures from model women in painters' studio, and, judging from what I have heard, they are when at work more warmly attired; both, however, may be classed together as auxiliaries in the world of art and are very useful members of society, in their way, you 'know. lhe floors of all the rooms are un carpeted, and I noticed millions of dropped pins in the cracks between board that are daily shined up with doses of beeswax and manual dexterity. Besides all these lost pins I noticed hundreds and hundreds of them stuck into every woman's dress. The head of the house said he would show me some new dresses which he had just finished for a Russian Frincess who was going to leave for St. Petersburg the next evening. lie pointed her out to me when she came in a tail stately lady of thirty-six, who moved with much grace and quiet dignity. She was accompanied by a young lady whom the Frincess introduced as a daughter of the Russian Embassador, and who desired to as sist at the essayage. This grande dame of the great Northern Empire had ordered nine of the finest dresses I ever saw. I did not stay to see all of them tried on, as I could have done had I been so minded. It took two hours to get rid of four of them, and as I had a dinner engagement at 7 o'clock, and as my poor head was already in that dizzy condition which may be imagined but not described, I took it for granted that the other five were what they should be, and have no doubt the bill for them will be quite large enough even for a Muscovite Frincess. I ought to tell you, though, that the robe he made for her to wear when she goes to call on the Empress is of rich Ted velvet, with an enormously long train; corsage simply made, and bonnet consistiting of a olackbird, with all but his breast and head hidden under a turban arrangement of the same velvet as the dress. - " JifiTi II.

LOUISE MICHEL, IN PRISON. Observations on the Relative Sociability of Cats and Kats. raris Letter to the London News.1 Louise Michel brought four cats with her from Noumea to France. They were given her when she arrived in New Caledonia by a convict, who had served her time and was returning to Europe. The youngest. Mous tache, is now sixteen, and the eldest. Ninette, nineteen. They were with her at St Lazare. The fourth killed himself under circum stances honorable to himself and his mistress. The day she was returning from London he was on the top of a house. When he saw her getting out of the cab, he, in tryiDg to jump from balcony to balcony, fell into the street from the third story and was so injured that he died in a few hours. Ibeee cats at bt. Lazare were taught to live on good terms with the rats that came every morning in crowds to Louise's cell to be fed. I asked the "Citoyenne" what she thought of the rat She said that it was intelligent incapable of attaching itself, she thought to a human being, and more on the lookout for benefits to come than for past services, but family affection was strong in his heart Young rats were not only kind but respect ful to their aged relations and indeed, to old rats in general. Mothers, directly they had weaned their little ones, not only brought them to Louise's cell, but placed them at her feet and seemed to ask her protection for them. ' There were rats toothless from age. When a crust was thrown to them younger rats jjhewed it, so as to enable them to eat it comfortably. If a younger rat was so illbred as to helf itself before an elderly one, the others were down upon it Before the cats had been taught to live m amity with the denizens of the sewer, Mous tache bit the paw off one of the latter. Ac cording to Louise Michel, there was quite an explosion of sympathy among her fourfcoted visitors on behalf of the wounded one, and she gained their confidence by letting it down with a string from her window into the court, after she had nursed it for about a fortnight When she had been some time in jail the rats grew so dainty that they would not eat plain bread unless she got it toasted for them. The Governor of the prison who was most kind to her, and who is a naturalist and un homme d esprit enjoyed her successful attempts to bring cats and rats to live in amity and to tame the latter, bhe could never domesticate them. No sooner had she fed them than they all climbed np the wall to the window and passed out there by to return to their sewers. JUSTICE TO GARLAND. An Upright and Pure Man Who Never Did Diahonest Act in His Life. I Washington Special to the World. A prominent official friend of Mr. Garland said to the World correspondent to-day: "It is greatly to be regretted that Mr. oariand should be placed in the cruel and embarrassing position he now occupies.

He is a man of great legal ability, and as he gave this company the benefit of his legal advice and knowledge, it is fair that he should be paid, lhe stock which was cien him was nothing more than a contingent fee, which is otten accepted oy lawyers. If the company had been success ful, then his gains would have been large.

"Then vou will see the pathetic and terri ble spectacle of a good and honorable man ruined and heart-broken." Oorvernor Seymour in War. fXcw York Sud.I Probably few people thoroughly appreciate the services which Horatio Seymour rendered to the Union while Governor o: New York in lsa;. Karly in the summer of that year Genera R. E. Lee. having defeated Hooker at Chan cellorsville; entered Maryland and threat ened the safetv of the National Capital. On the 15th of June the Governor received this urgent message: "The movements of the rebel forces In Virginia are now stimciently developed to show that oeaerai I.ee. with his whole army, is moving forward to invade Marylanil, Pennsylvania and other States. Will you please infprm me im mediately If, in answer to a special call of tno President, you can raise and forward say 20,000 militia or volunteers, without bounty, to be credited in the draft of your sute, or what number you can irobtly raise? "K. M. ütaston, Secretary of War." Governor Seymour instantly replied with this surance: "I will spare no efforts to send you troops at once. I have sent orders to the militia otlicers of the State." In fact, messages had already gone to every available organization, lo General Uuryoe, command in the Second Division in Urooklyn, was sent frbm Albany through Adjutant Genert Storehouse, a demand for a return of 'his

available strength. V Answer at once,'! said the dispatch. VThe Governor desires you Will report here this -evening in person." This message was also sent to Colonel LeQerts:

"The Governor desires to know immediatelv how soon the Seventh Regiment can be in readiness to move to Philadelphia... Can not the Seventh be the first ifrimpnt?" ' The moment he got a reply. Governor Sey mour telegraphed to Colonel LeQerts to "pro ceed forthwith with your regiment as f afi as a w . . . . . pvstsiuie io u&rrisourg. vtner regiments were hurried off in lhe. same way within twenty-four and forty-eight hours of the time the call was received. . Warm thanks came from President Lincoln on the ICth, when the first troops moved. "On tne nitn secretary btanton telegraphed again to the same effect: . "The resident directs me ar&in to retnm hin thanks to His Excellency, Governor Seymour, aud his staff, for their energetic and prompt action." ... This was followed by a personal letter from the President to Governor Seymour. On the 24th of July, after the battle of Gettysburg and the retreat of Lee, Governor Seymour issued a con rratulatory order to the troops who had responded to his call : "The Governor-and Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the State of New York, upon tne return oi tnose regiments oi tne rational ouaru wno, upon bis order, with a promptness and alacrity which excited the admiration of the whole country, went forth on a sudden call of danger to other States, expresses to them hü thanes for tbeir gallant and successful service, which has been alike honorable to them and to the State whose name and arms they are proud to bear. If our militia system is allowed to decay, all our institutions are weakened. The militia is the main ktrenptn of the Executive to maintain the laws, put down insurrection aud repel iavaeion. "Within thirty days the uniformed militia of this fctate have gone forth to assist their brethren beycpd our limits, and have returned to put down riot, arson and robbery at home; they have aided in defending the national nag and honr upon the battlefields of other States, aud. that done, their tread noon the pavements o5 this ereat citv broueht back a sense of security to its aiKiuruea ana enuangerea lnnaoitants." These words and the acts that accompa nied them may well be recalled, now that Horatio Seymour has passed away. A Wife's Value in Cows. III. W. Christy in Salt Lake Tribune.! I asked some of the Kaffirs in the diamond mines why they worked so hard, when, with their cattle, which is the currency of the country, they could live in ease. They told me they wanted to ma fee money to buy more wives, inat eopie purchase their wives and pay for them in proportion to the amount of llesh. An ordinary wife brings ten to fifteen cows, while a more fleshy one brings twenty, and one that will tip the scales at 2Ö0 pounds readily brings twenty-hve or thirty cows. Zulus have from one to four cows, in proportion to the amount they are able to pay. liaising young young girls for such trade is considered profitable. The ideas of these Zulu women regarding this practice of pur chase is best illustrated by an incident where an English lady had one bf them as a ser vant until she got married. The mother of the girl called on the lady and boasted of the number of cows paid for her daughter, and asked the English lady how many her hus band paid for her. She told her that the English did not rnarrv that way sell themselves in marriage. The Zulu woman could not comprehend it and asked: "Are you lite a worthless dog, that your lather gives you away for nothing? Extracts from Sam Jones' Sermons. Cincinnati Sün.

IToneka Common weal th.l A terrible story -of inhuman cruelty reaches this city, and it is authenticated thoroUehlv. During the storm a man, his wife and child, were driving toward Kinsley, Kan., from the south, in one of the fearfal blizzards which have characterized the weather for the past few days. Heaching a house the man asked for sneiter, out tne in human wretch who owned it refused either his wife or child to take shelter. The man begged and pleaded, but all to no avail. His wife was then unconscious and the babe was in the same condition, but both are said to haTe been alive. The man then told them he would not accommodate them, and said three miles further on they coirid probably receive protection. The poor man resumed his position on the wagon and started on. The next morning all three were discovered a half-mile from the house frozen to death. The mother had the babe close to her bosom, as if in the act of hugging it. The poor father still held the lines in his stiff, hands. A Full Understanding:.
