The Farm and Household. CONDUCTED BY JONATHAN| SIMMONS, ‘ The Farmers in Cogucil. A Farmers convention as recently held in Illinois to devise meavs for protecting themselves against the oppression of railroad corporations. The deliberations continued three days, and the convention adjourned sine die after a session marked by great unanimity, and beginning a movement from which ought to come results of great vaiup. Speeches were made on the last day |by Hon. W, C. Flagg, Mr: H., C. Lawr¢nce, Colonel J. H. Rowell and others, and s number ‘of resolutions were adopted, These recommend that it’;be made a|misdemeanor for any State or ¢ounty official to accept a railroad pass; that the w fer commu njcations, especiaily those¢ of|the St. Lawrence and the Illinois; be el larged; that ‘all railreads running in violation of the law be condemned, and run|by the State ; ‘that at least one of the Railroad and Warehouse .Commissioners;| should be a representative of the farming class; that Representatives Shellabarger and Hawley be thanked for their recent |action ; that some bill should be 'immedijately passed by the Legislaturé like the Vaughau bill of 1871, fixing ‘frcight rafes ;- that the taxes on iron, salt, and lumber should be repealed, and calling upon farmers to organize clabs, granges, and other associations. The agricaltural corresppndent of the Chicago Tridbune speaks of this conven tion in the following termg: The Far‘mers’ Convention has come|and gone, but its influence for good will [no doubt be felt for a long time, if it| does not go down for decades. It is certainly one of the most important moves ip the direction of reform that has been igaugurated by our rural population.” Whether in point ot numbers, of wealth, of intelligénce, and of earnest deliberation| which char acterized the convention, we must award it a bigh position. Thege men are not to be set aside, for they meanjbusiness, and ‘it is useless to’ attempt to bar their way. They ask for gsimple justicd; that there shadil be no favoritism and [no distinction of classes. They are not disposed to yield what they consider and knpw to be their rights. It is probable that there have been many points overlooked in this connection, but the main poingts have been very plainly presented. -

" Why do Boys Leave the Faym ? The most embarrassing feature which now presents itself to the laboring class of citizens, is the general stampede made by the robust and active young men of our country to -the professions. Boys leave the rural shades of the farm, where nature's gorgeous mantle | feeds the eye with untiring admiration, land her minstrel's music greets the ear with insatiable rapture, for the silent cloister where a tedious curriculum of study may incompetently fit them for the title of a pettifogger or quack. " Parents witness these de¢partures from the toils of physical industry with painful regret, and marvel at such thoughtless folly. They are either ignorant or forgetful of the influences which mould the character and destiny ¢t manhood in the aspiring youth, a 8 he poeys the pre cepts of their stringent |counsel. The causes which alicnate thre ftaste for rural employment from' so mahy young men, are various in different logalities ;' but in our Westein country one cause, with few exceptions, will sutlice : Farms are entirely too large, and if properly enltivated, require more labor than can generally be supplied. Such & proportion, however, is put under plow as the seasons for sceding |usher in, belp or no help, profit or no profit. Everytbing must go with & rush, slipshod and haif done. Boys are hurried through the panic of disorder, exposed| overburdened with labor, disgusted with farm management, and if luck termigates favorable enough to return a tribjute, they must content themeelves or not,|if they choose, with board and clothing. |Or if circum - stances and grudging liberality will allow them a few dollarg how can it be invested to the best adyantage? Can they purchase live stock and increase their slender capital with a bandsome interest > Oh no! they -might incur an expense at” the parents’| erib, or make gome interference with the master herd. There is no inyestment for their money where it might yield a profit, and secure in them an -interest for |their vocation. But Inactive money 1s dead property, a | tact with which boys seekm to be thoroughly acquainted, and if it cdnnot be developed in some channgl of their home employment, it must go qut in some other, and their interest, aspirations, and ambition must go with it, | just as interest tollows money matters in mature manhood. Every devotion i§ diverted from the farm, until the aspirant resolves to be educated for a profession| And thus is every bar of justice crowded with a host of lawyers; the countryl|is flooded with quacks, and even the mipistry is too of - ten filled with incompetent - teachers, whose subsistence comes | either directly or indirectly from the hard ecarned stores of the laboring people. [The officials of sour country, the frame-work of our na. tional system, is built up from this strange medley of office seeking | professors, and iltsisacriq tl‘t\;‘S\a ﬁommitt d to their care, tis not 1n the chaxge of ¢very dema that the-reaponsibiﬁues of tge‘ S?atg(’f,fg Church are to be entiygted. They call for men of real genius, cambined with the ‘most proficient education, to insure ~#afety and promote the |general welfare of the people, and it i not every one who may direct his aspirations to” these high honors, that may| qualify himself with & competency to preserve them. Parents, if you wish to shape the destiny of -your sons, give them ah interest in that employment where you wish to see their manhood develop. Don't discourage agriculture, that channel of labor which al. ways leads the three great. and indispensable branches of national industry, but . Tenew its credit with more worthy ap- _ preciations. Let your hoys know that it 18 occupation of great pleasure and much profit, by allowing theml to make some. thing for themselves, anc- participating 1n its rich enjoyments. | With such privileges the honors of no | office ;or profes--Blons will buy their interest, .’ (i ANDREW MITCHELL, Bloomingdale, Ind.

THE National Association of Agricultural Implement Makers [met at Cleveland last month and vesolved to shorten the credit given to farmers on machinery; reduce discounts and commissions to deal. ers- and agents, and fix penalty' for ¢at. - ting on prices. A committee was appointed to ‘memorialize Legislatures on the - subject of lowering freight and express tariffs on implements, and asking for laws to avoid locking money in county treasuries that is 80 much needed in business channels. A newspaper in lowa|City gives rather a discouraging account of what ' the far- - mers in, those “diggings” are doing, or rather not doing. Here is the price cur rent: A pair of winter boots costs two loads of potatoes; a n ght’s lodging, a load of oats ; the wife wears five acres of wheat ; the children, each ten acres of corn ; the price of an overcoat is a good - four year old steer; of a SBunday suit, twenty fat hogs. The farm, too, wears a mortgage that is Worse than hard pan to the soil, and the annual tax rots the roof * faster than rain, : l

' Washing Made Easy, The Rural New Yorker gives a recipe of an-old housewife, who says the clothes should be soaked and then rubbed lightly; then put to boil in water in which salsoda bas been dissolved in the proportion of & piece as large as a hen’s egg to 4 boiler of water. Boil in this, remove the clothes to the tub, wring out of this water, scald, then rinse as usual. This process, well done, makes clothes beautifully white; but calico sB‘should not be wastred in the suds, as it fades them. Most old housckeepers think that soap and water and a washboard is the onlvy fit treatment of clothes ; but there are one or two washing machines which are a great help. I always wash calico in clear water—not. boiling suds; putin the garments one at a time as [ wash them,.and as soon as they are- rung out put them in a vessel of hard water, to stand until ready to rinse and starch them. Treated in this way, the colors will ' remain near. ly as bright' as new until the cloth is worn ous. : . Tapping the Suéur Maple. A subscriber to the North Western Farmer at Franklin, Indiana, asks for the most approved mode of tapping the sugar maple tree—whether with the auger or by some other means. Any one having experience in the different methods, will please report the same for the benefit of this and other readers, : ~““The right way,” says one who has had experience, “is to bore the trees on the sunny side, two feet or more above the earth, with an auger not over one inch in diameter, and at first not over one balf or three fourths of an.inch into the wood. with a slant upward. This hole may be deepened or increuéed in diameter after the surface becomes so dry that the flow of sup.is checked. ; . : This is the way a Western lecturer ex plained a phenomenon: “You have all seen a cow, no doubt. . Well, a cow is nct ‘a plienomenon. You bave seen an apple tree. Well, an apple tree is not a phe ‘nomenon, But when you see the cow go up the tree tail foremost. to pick apples, it is a phenomenon.” . e G : The New Railreail Law. A bill supplemental to “An Act toau thorize aid to’the construction of rail roads by counties and townships taking ‘stock in-and making donations to railroad companies,” was approved May 12th, 1869: L SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the ‘State of Indiana, That no tax shall be placed upon the duplicate of any county for the purpose of taking stock or making donations to railroad companies by any county or town ship pursuant to the provisions of an act entitled “An Act to authorize aid to the construction of railroads Qy counties and townships taking stock in and making donations to railroad companics,” approved May 12th, 1866, until such railroad shall have been permanently located in the county or township making the do- - nation or taking the stock. e Sec. 2. In all cases where stock has‘ been taken or donations made by any’ county or township for the purpose of aiding in the construction of any railroad pursuant to the above entitled act, and the special tax authorized thereby has been placed upon ‘the duplicate of the proper county for colléction. “The . Auditor and Treasurer of such county shall suspend the collection of such tax, (but the same shall be earried forward on the duplicate without being returned delinquent), until such railroad is permanent - ly located in said county or township, and has expended an-amount of money, in the actual construction .of said railroad, in said county or township, equal to the amount of money to be donated to, or stock to be taken in said railroad, by said county or township, and 1f said railroad shall not within three years after said tax has been placed upon the duplicate of the proper county for collection, have expended in the actual construction of said railroad, in said county or township, an amount of money equal to the amonnt to | be donated to, or stock to be taken in said railroad company, by said county or township, the board of commissioners may in their discretion make an order annulling and cancelling such subscriptions of stock or donations of money upon the application of twenty-five freeholders of the county through which said road shall pass, upon said freeholders giving thirty days public notice im:mediately preceding the term of the Commissioners’ Courg at which said application is to be made, of their intention te make such application i provided, further, that whenever it i shown to the eatisfaction of the Board of Commissioners that the amount of work done by any railroad company in any" county or township taking stock in, or donating money to such railroad company is equal to the stock taken or donation made, it shall be tke duty of the Board of Commissioners to order said tax to be collected at once, as though the same had never been suspended, . Sec. 8. Whereas, an emergency exists for the immediate taking effect of this act, the same shall be . in force from and ~after its passage. ¢

An Important Blllfconnty Snperip- - temdent, il ~ In accordance with a recommendation by the Superintendent of Publi¢ Instruction, Hon. Milton B. Hopking, the House of Representatives at Indianapolis, on the 6th inst., passed the Bill amending the gommon school law and creating the offize of School Superintendent, to take the place of School Examiner. The officer is electcd by the township trustees, and he siall have a general superintendence over all the schools in the county except city schools having superintendents of their own. He is required to hold at least one. teachers’ institute in each township annually, and to visit each school under his charge at least once every year. He is required to examine the dockets and rec~ords ot officers and see that all fines and forfeitures for the benefit of the common school fund are accounted,for, and is required to collect the same é)y suit or otherwise, and to see thdt the interest on the school fund is properly and fully account: ed for. His compensation is fixed at four' dollars per day, and the commissioners .may limit the number of days- he shall servein visiting schools, provided the same .shall not be less than the number of schools under his charge. He ig not to be allowed anything in addition to such pay, cu any pretense. A sworn statement of the time served, showing dates, must accompany bis application for pay. He is required to give bond in the sum' of four thousand dollars, . . - The bill further provides for a cofinty Board ot Educatinn, congisting of the Township Trustees and Superintendent, which shall meet twice a year, to consider the general wants of the schools, and to determine the changes of text books to be made 1n the townships, and does not admit of change oftener than once in three years, except by unanimous vote of the county board, It provides that a teachers’ institute shall be held in each township at least once & month while the schools are in session, and requires teachers of the town: ship to aitend or forfeit a day’s wages. It abolishes' the fee of one dollar heretofore charged each teacher as examination foo. ! B o

. LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA, : ©. - [Number Five.] : SWEETELAND, Car,, Feb. 3, Friesp J. B. StoLn, ' Dear Sir :—As we are now witnessing the celebration of the Chinese New Year, in their own peculiar way, I came to the conclusion that & short description of the same would not be uninteresting to yourgelf and the ‘many readers of your most excellent journal.. The Chinamen in California number about 70,000 and, like the Studebaker ,wh'gons, are to be found scattered all over the State, and engaged in most all the legitimate pussuits of life, as well as some that are not legitimate. They are to be found washing, cooking, mining, gardening, manufacturing, merchandising and farming ; and among them are to be found some of the sharpest gamblers and most expert thieves in all the land. They are not so dull, stupid, and ignorapt as _many aave supposed them to be; neither are they that cheap class of hduse servants that many of our eastern women are look ing for. Here a good Chinese cook commands from twenty five to thirty dollars per month, and some even more ; and then they are not half eo neat as the good girls of Inciana. If I were to offer a bit of gratuitous advice to the good women of Ligonier’and vicinity, it would‘be: Continue to treat-your hired girs kindly, respectfully, and humanely ; rejoice;that it. is as well with you as it is, and be careful to improve the opportunity you have of training your own daughters t> work and be useful in their day and generation. But we must not forget the description ‘of the New Year’s Celebration, which is as follows.: : :

- At 12 o'clock lagt night (Jan. —) the sixth year of the cycle of Luhoi ended and the seventh began. In other words, the Chinese New Yearcommenced af the hour specified. For weeks past our- Celestial neighbors have been preparing for the feast which all solvent Chinamen set before their friends lon every Skem Neen (New Year’s). Every man among them, who could do so, has paid all bis indebted ness and prepared his affairs for the beginning of the new year.*© To use their own phrase, they .have made a general “Pulling up of the shoe at the heel.”— Houses, furniture, stores, clothing and sll utensils have been cleaned and renovated and the Joss houses decorated with unus-ual-splendor. Little, finely-gitt strips; marked {Chut yop ping own” (May those passing in and out have peace), are tacked over the entrances .to dwellings;. and sometimes a red cloth, bearing tne words, “Qnong he,” (Happy New Year), or “Fa Choy” (Much profit), are suspended over doors. - Since 12 o’'clock last night, when Neen Nun (New years Eve) ceased, the Mongolians have been feasting and making calls. _ . In all “open” houses, to-day will be found little circular tables, laden With sweetmeats and delicacies, dried ducks, pressed flat and brought all the way from China, eggs kept fresh by coating the sbells with mud ; dried and pickled sea snails, ediblé swallow-nest soup, yellow. curd cakes, crystalized melon rind, melon seeds, betel nut wrapped for chewing, sugared cocoanut dried in thin peels, sugared lemons, lee chees, hummalows (oranges as large as cocoanuts), ben doy (lit. tie fancy cakes), pickled camels’ feet, various specimens -of rodentia and other dainties too numerous to mention. In the houses of the wealthierclass of merchiants two tables are gencrally set, one for whites and one for Chinese. On the barbarians’ table is placed game, fine pastries and costly wines, in a profusion that would astonish epicures of ordinary means. The wealthier class of Chinese are aristocratic in their manner aud very exacting of deference from their inferiors, The young men do most of the calling during the first day of the holidays, visiting their cquals and superiors, regardless of age. - They are very particular not to call on an inferior. The old men generally are “at home” during the first few days and receive calls only. Afterward they sally forth and make sedite, stately calls upon their equals and superiors of the same age or older than themselves, being very careful never to call on persons infertor' to or younger than themselves, Every caller leaves his card bearing his name, business, and residence. "It is writ ten on a fancy, red strip of paper. Ag soon as the party visited receives the caller’s-card he shakes his own hand and says, “Dah sing? Quong be, fachoy;’ (How are you? Happy New Year ;. good lick and much profit.) The caller shakes bis own hands and repeats the same verbal salutation. The host then puts a little ‘paste on one end of the card, sticks it up in some conspicuous place on. the wall where| he can constantly -see¢ it and be reminded of it,ahd then invites tlre visitor to take refreshments.

All classes spend as much time as they can afford and make as great a display as possible, Their New Year lasts just as long as they can afford to keep it up. In China it is sometimes prolonged two or three weeks, but in other countries where Chinese are found it lasts only a few days, or a week at farthest. The festivals ‘ot the Spring, Rain and Water follow close upon the completion of the New Year and occupy one day each. ~ The names of all Chinamen who failed to pay their debts . before the beginning of New Year are collected in one list and distributed among the merchants, This is called the “Black List.” The names are all marked with a black spot in the account books and during the whole year refused credit, although they may be per tectly solvent.; They are also denied permission to call upon any merchant or creditor during the holidays that may be held in that year. If they pay off their debts within the year they are reinstated’ in favor on the next New Year: The religious ceremonies are not forgotten. ' Siuce early morn the Joss-houses have been crowded by votaries eager ‘o worship to Shong Ti, God of the Imperia. Deep Blue Heavens; Too De Poosat, God of Earth; Tsol Shen, God ot Wealth; Tung Nock, God of the Eastern of the five Great Peaks; Hi Coong Nam, Goddess of Sailors; Wi Tau, God of Medicine; .Nom Hoi ti Chee, God of the Southern Sea; Teen Hun, Queen of Heaven ; Kum' Fah, Golden Flower Goddess, or some other favorite divinity. The donations are larger duriag New Year's than at'any other time, and the fronts of the Josshouses will soon be ecovered with little red strips of paper bearing the names of donors and the amounts contributed. : The Chinese will not work during the New Year holidays, and hundreds of household matrons, who are suffering great annoyance by the temporary desertion of their Asiatic domestics, are loud in their denurnciation of the heathen practice. But it avails them naught. Every dog will have his day, and John Chinaman insists upon having his. = : . :The “Black List” will no doubt attract the attention of the Ligonier merchants, and it may possibly “put a flea in the ear” of some of them. i Hoping to be able to write you again soon, I now bid you another farewell and, with kind regards to all my old friends, remain, Yours as Ever, i ! " & W. CHAPMARN.

Railroad trains seem to have a singular digposition to tumble over embankments this winter. The Hrie express rolled over one of these, on Tuesday evening of last week, near Ridgeway, Pennsylvania, demolishing two cars and bruising fifteen persons, but none of them very seriously. Another broken rail was the cause.

Cecunting the Electoral Vote. The- work of counting the Eléctoral vote in Congress yesterday, in accordance with legal requirement, was gone through in a very remarkable manner. One would have thought that the majority’ for Graut was so overwhelming that there would be no inducement upon the part of the dominant party to resort to rascality. But the men who led the Republican party, and who ought t@ be in the pillory expiating: their offenses, were anxious to atone for their criminal practices by cover. ing themselves with partisan “filth, Of these men Colfax was the most active and servile. Under his lead the votes of the Liberal States of Georgia and Louisiana were thrown out. The pretext for not counting the vote of Georgia was that three votes had 'been cast for a dead man—Horace Greeley. The Radical vote ot Mississippi was accepted, though 'it .was uot certified by tbe Governor and there was no evidence of s vote by ballot. The vote of Louisiana was thrown dut entire. The vote of Arkansas was pitched overboard to keep up appeararces, though all the world knows that but for the palpable frauds of Clayten it would stand in the Liberal column. If the choice ot a President had depended upon the votes of these rejected States, the tyrannical ‘majority in Congress wounld not have dared take such action as that of yester—day. Congress has no right under the: Constitution to decide what votes shall be counted. [t is merely a witness. But the proceedings of yesterday furnish an instructive commentary and an unan-| swerable argument in behalf of an amend~ ment to the Constitution, to provide fora contested election for President and Vice President, and an authoritative decision of the Elcctoral vote by States, Until thatis done we are in great danger of a forcible revolution.— Cincinnati Enquirer, Feb. 13,

‘ The Hansas Senatorship. \ Ingalils, the successor of Pomeroy, as United States Senator from Kansas, gives promise of proving, or being proven as corrupt a man as his predecessor. A Wash. ington. special to the St. Louis Republican, says Ingalls himself has sworn that lie offered the son-in law of Judge Delahay §5OO to open the court at an earlier bour in the morning than usual, .and make a decree in bankruptey in favor of & clicnt. The court ‘was opened and the decree: made as agreed, and Ingalls gave a draft on his chent in New York to pay the bribe, The draft was protested ard returned and, as a suit was threatened to enforce its collection, he claimed that the draft was given for unlawful purposes, and in this way defeated its collection. This matter will probably be investigated by the Senate, and Mr. Ingalls may not succeed Pomeroy after all. - —_____"l_:_,,.___ : “I am glad to say to you, dear brother, that Sepator Harlan is regutar in -his attendance at echurch, and his influence is in the right direction,” wrote ©haplaip Newman, of the United States Senate, to his clerical brethren in lowa, during the identical canvass in which Mr. Durant gave Harlan two checks for five thousand dollarseach, with which to bribe legislators dnd secure his re-election.—Znd. Journdl. ~ : ; Trne New York Nation sums up the result of the Credit Mobilier inyestigation in the words: “Total loss, one Senator : badly damaged and not serviceable for future political use, two Vice Presidents and eight Congressmen.”
