The Farm and Household. "'; OONISUCTED BY JONATHAN SIMMONS.

Let Homes be Home-like, Look at that fine dwelling, standing in the midst of a two acre lot, not a tree or shrub to break the monotony of the surrounding grounds, or to add to the beauty of the lawn in front of the house; not a rose, or honey-suckle, or clematis, to enliven with beauty and fragrance the family that occupies it. [Strange that a taste 80 capable o? devising a pretty and neat dwelling house, making it home-like with its beauty and eomforts, should exhaust all its resources upon a house, and so suddenly cease and leave its surroundings in. anything but home-like beauty ot taste. -If we had just $2,000 with which'to build a dwelling for our family, we, should want to appropriate at least ten per cent. of it to the adorming of the grcunds around it, even were it at the expense of curtailing the building that much. And if we were going to spend $5,000 upon a dwelling house, we should want the surrounding grounds to have at. least the benefit of ten per cent. of that amount to prepare them in keeping with the house, that our home should be home like and pleasant to our children and friends who might visit us,. We regard these remarks as perfectly applicable either to the ‘farm Rouse, or suburban residence of the city merchant or business man; in either case, a little exhibition of the‘taste and means devoted to the adorning of homes by the planting of shade and ormamental trees and shrubs, with & few chnice roses and flowering plants, well selected and properly grouped, and interspersed over a well kept lawn or grass plat, forms a nucleus " of pleasure and endearment of 'home that ean only be appreciated by those that enjoy its beauties and blessings in their .hours of recreation.

And now, Mr. Farmer, -a word with you. Let us have a little of your attention and enterprise devoted to this subject. Don't waste all your energies on Short-horns, and Berk shires, or Chester Whites, nor mules, nor horses; but do, pray, remove that pig stye from the front of the house, or from near the dwelling, a little oat of sight and smell—the fragrance of the rose is sweeter., Put in a group or two of évergreens and 4 few shade trees arcund the dwelling ; encourage the taste of that son or daughter in the cultivation of the beautiful, by getting them a dozen varieties of the most

marked of our hybrid perpetual roses, with two or threeclimbers, such as Prairie Queen or Baltimore Belle, or a honeysuckle or Chinese Wistaria, to train along the lattice work of the verandah, or about its columns. No one will think you very ~lavish in your expenditures for such a trifle, and we warrant that the shade and . beauty, and self satisfaction you will' enJoy, will more than compensate you for all the outlay. . In a word, beautify your home, make it home like, make it the most pleasant and desirable spot on all this wide green earth, to wife and children, even if it has to be done at the ex~ pense or cost of one of your fayorite Short-horns, and your children will bless you in their love for the effort.

I have sometimes heard parents say that their children were more fond of other places than home; such should never be the case, and if parents would take that pains and pride in adorning their homes and making them hoe like and pleasant to their children, such would seldom ever be the case. In the planting of our grounds, the natural order should be observed to produce the best effect; grouping together a number of trees of the same natural order, whether evergreen or deciduous, will always -have a better effect than planting in straight lines or rows, with abrupt angles. That artistic taste that has been educated in the school of 'mature, in studying the beauty of the landscape will readily un= derstand what I mean by the natural order, which does not destroy the sense of harmony and beauty by the formality of straight lines and abrupt angles, but loses itselt in gentle curves, with here and toere a group of its kind in their own natural order. Say a group of fits here, there a group ot pines, and then of the spruces, etc., with a fow choice specimens of the deciduous trees, and more rare evergreens and flowering shrubs, scattered over the lawn, forming a well regulated pleasure ground around our homes, within the reach of every thrifty farmer in the land. That will be “a thing of beauty,”. “a joy for ever,” gladdening the hearts of wife, children, and friends, with its home. like comforts, Our fine houses mark the progress of our architectural taste, but the adorning of our homes marks the progress of our civilization.—#. in the North-Western Farmer, 5

Keeping Hamis In Paper Sacks. A correspondent writes from Wolf Summit, W: Va., to the Ciccinnati Zimes and Chronicle: As the time for putting away liams for safe keeping is near at hand, I will give your readers my method. I have tried several ways of keeping them, but none hes filled the bill near so well as this one. It is cheap, and does not cost much trouble. After the hams have been well smoked, get paper sacks, such as millers use in putting up onefourth of a barrel of flour, -put a strong string in the end of the ham and tie both ends together to hang up by; hang up the ham on a strong mnail, then draw the sack over it around the string that the ham is hangipng by and tie the mouth of the sack with a string above the ‘end of the ham, S ‘ Hang your hams up in some dry place, and you have them gecure from bugs, etc., and they will keep as long as you will let them., | . .

FRAUD in the nursery agency business i 8 becoming quite common. We are relia—bly informed that many of the so called nursery agents, pretending to represent Eastern nurseries, are swindlers of the worst character. They sell a farmer a bill of trees of certain kinds, which they pretend to order from some well known and ‘responsible nursery, but which in truth they gather up wherever it is most convenient and without regard to kind or quality;, and put off upon the unsuspecting purchaser as the kinds he had selected. — He has no means of knowing to the con~ trary till years afterward when the trees come to bearing. Two swindles are committed in such transactions, one against the farmer and the other against t he nurseryman under whose name the pretended agent sells. The safe plan is to buy or order direct from some well-known "and reliable dealer.

A SWINDLE AND; FORGERY.—An Indianapolis paper contained the following in o late number: *“John B. Rairich, of Del~ aware county, has sent a printed circular to Mayor Macauley stating that parties claiming to be agents for “R. R, Penner’s Improved Stubble and . Subsoil plow,” manufactured by James Buchanan, of this city, came to his house in Delaware coun~ ty, and under pretence of making him their agent procured from him a promissory note for $2lO, due in six months, and payable at any Indianapolis bank, Being old and infirm, he did net read the con. tract. He pronounces it a forgery, and will not pay it. He asks all banks to notify Lim of the presentation of said note,

. RamLroap FreigaT.—The burden of railroad frei%ht is & heavy tax upon agriculture which issorely felt at present from two causes : the increase in production, which reduces prices, and the advance of freight rates by railroads, which tends to depress prices still further, The evil is becoming unendurable, and should be renovodg by the speediest_and wigest method practicable.—From January Re. port Dep. of Agriculture.

The New Divorce Law—The Old Fraud | : Repealed. o Correspondence of the Inter-Ocean. - " ) INDIANAPOLIS, March 17. Incompatibility of temperisno longer a sufficient plea for divorce in the State of Indiana. Furthermore, judges cannot hereafter annul marriages for “any other cause for which the court’ shall deem it proper that a divorce should be granted.” This “discretionary clause,” as it was called, and the facility which existed of establishing residence, under the old law, bave been expunged from the record, and a greit stain upon the fair fame of the State has been removed.

The new act is clear in its provisions, explicit in detail, and in all its features is. based upon exact justice and fairness to’ all conceraed. It provides that divorce may be granted for well- known and sufficient causes, enumerated in the text of the law given; that the petitioner for divorce shall establish a bona fide residence of two years in the State, and of six months in the county in which the suit is brought, and the petition shall also _particularly state the place, town, city or township in which the petitioner has regided for the last two years, and give his or her occupation ; also by affidavit: give the residence of the defendant, that he may be notified by the court clerk of " the iuit pending. .After a divorce is decreed, he case may be ppened again at any time within two years, during which time it shall not be lawful for the party receiving the divorce tore marry. These provisions remove the objectionable features of the old law. Non residents may now take notice that they can not come to Indiana and be speedily treed from the marriage bond, and without publicity, through the machinations of a ghyster ot an attorney. Under the.act of 1852 notice of the pe-

tition tor divorce was given in weekly newspapers, and it is notorious that those notices were generally published in obscure papers, in obscure places, so-that there was little prospect of the publica: tion being seen by the other party interested. Now, however, notice is to be given for three successive weeks in a dai ly paper of general circulation, if there is such a paper in the county: if not, then in a weekly paper of general circulation ; and‘a copy of the notice, with the' number of the paper, is to be forwarded by mail to the.defendant. ‘ ' The new law is entitled “An act regu lating the granting of divorces, nullification of marriages, and decrees and orders of courts incident thereto, and repealing all laws conflicting with this act, and declaringan emergency.” ¢ The following is the text. Nearly all the points enumerated distinguish it from the old fraud : : _ All marriages prohibited by law on account of consanguinity, affinity, difference of color, or where either party has a former wife or husband living, if solemnized within this State, shall be abgolutely void, without any legal proceedings. - Issue in such cases shall be deemed to be legitimate. The issue of a marriage which is void because of a former marriag undissolved shall be deemed to be legitimate, if be - gotten before discovery of such disability. For evidence of interested parties in a question of legitimacy a petition may be filed making other interested parties defendants. ; The decree nf a court in such case shall

be conclusive; but any minor defendant may have the same revived at any time within one year after becoming twenty. one years of age. : : Purties against whom a judgment of divorce has been, or may be, rendered, without other notice than publication in a newspaper, may have the same opened, so far as relates to the care, support and custody: of children. e Parties against whom & judgment of divorce has been rendered without other than notice of publication in a newsdpaper may, within two "years after judg~ ment, have the same:opened and be allowed to defend, as well on the granting of the divorce as in relation to alimony and disposition of property, and until the expiration of the said-two years it shall not be lawful for the party obtaining such divorce to marry again. Parties applying tor divorce shall have been bona fide residents of the State two years previously, and a resident of the county six months next preceeding. ° Divorces shall be decreed for the tollowing causes: Adultery, except in cases bereatter named ; impotency, existing at time of marriage ; abandonment for two years: cruel' and inhuman treatment; habitual drunkenness; failure of the husband to provide, and conviction of crime. Divorce shall not be decreed for adultery committed with the eonnivanee of the party seeking divorce ;or where the ‘party seeking such divorce has failed to file petition within two years after ‘knowledge of the crime: or where the party seeking has also been guilty of the same, =t N?vlq@ of petition for divorce shall be publishedd-in daily papers, where such are published in the county, and shall name distinctly residence of plaintiff and defendant, and give other information to establish the justness and fairness of the complaint. : : Divorce granted for misconduct. of the defendant, gives the same rights that would have accrued by death of the other party. : _ Decree for alimony shall be for the sum in gross, and not for annual payments, but a reasonable time for payment may ‘be given. . i Decree for alimony shall be valid against the husband, whether asked -for (in the petition or given by the jodge on default. : @ Divorces decreed in any other State by a court having jurisdiction shall have full effect in this State. : Whenever a petition for a divorce remains undeferided it shall be the duty of the proper circuit or district prosecuting attorney to appear and resist the petition, The act was approved March 10, 1873, and is now in full force. =~ For the drafting of the new law, and the ability and attention which secured its enactment, the people of the State are indebted to Representative Judge Thom« a 8 W. Woollen, of Johnson County, one of the members of the late House of Rep"resentatives, who gave it character and renown. : ;

GRANT signed the bill giving him an additonal $25,000 per annum with the same stolidity that he vetoed other bills which sought to pay honest debts, due from the government for property - de~ stroyed during the war, and those ‘who think he is a second W aAsmiNGTON can read with profit the following extract from an inaugural address delivered eighty four years ago: | : To the preceding observations I have one to add, which will be most properly addressed to the House of Representatives. It concerns myself, and will, therefore, be as brief as. possible. ' When I was first honored with a call into the service of my country, then on the eve of an arduous struggle for its liberties, the light in which I contemplated my duty required that I should renounce every pecuniary compensation, From this resolution I ha_ve in no instance departed ; and, being still under the impression which produced it, I must decline, as inapplicable to myself, any share 1n the personal emolu~ ments which may be indispensably . included in a permanent provision for the executive department,

e T ] From the Springfield Ropubl(can This little poem of Dr. Holland’s—one of the best specimens of his concentrated earnestness and indignation—is even more timely now than it was, written for the Republican in 1856, when the insincerity and falshdod of many of the popular politicians led those who sat too 'near the inner motives and the secret actions of men to utter almost the déspairing cry for a new dispensation: God give us men! a time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands; = = = Men whom the‘lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; : Men who have honor; men who will.not lie; ‘Men who cén stand béfore a demagogue, - " And damm his ‘treacherous flatteries without o wioking.” . Tall men, a‘u:gcrowned, who live among the fog In public dufy, and in private thinking; For, while the rabble with their thumb-worn creeds, / o Their large professions and their little deed,— Mingle in selfish strife, lo!

Needed Reforms. _ (From the Morgan County Gazette.) It is a well kown fact, that there is a large class of men in this country who, make merchandige of their votes by selling them, every campaign, to the highest bidder. From what I know of this class, I conclude it is large emough vc decide elections, both State and national, if it would go bodily with either of the great parties of the day. - Whether it hasexisted from the foundation of the government, I do not know, but for years.past I have ‘heard it talked of, and many believed it is growing stronger of late. IHow torid the country of this class, is & problem for patriots to solve. The presence of a large body of men in our midst, so totally destitute of self respect and principle, as to sell their votes for money or something “worse, is a sad dommentary on the state of public'morals, and excites fears of the fial success iof our experiment of self government. Sinceit is possible: for one man to give victory to a party by voting ita ticket; it is also possible for one man Jto bring a ruinous policy upon us with the same vote. : . i

Hence it is highly important that every elector should regard his vote as above price, and cast it, not as passion or preju: dice, or as mere party loyalty dictates, but according to the promptings of a lofty patriotism. When a party has announced its principles, and taught them to the people, its legitimate work is dome. It should never attempt to coerce,or frighten, or bribe men into supporting its ticket, for, to do so, is to do violence to the. very spirit of liberty. How is it with patties? Do they carry elections fairly? I will tell you : Each party desires to'elect its ticket, so as to enjoy the honor and emol uments of office : the election of its ticket is the end which each must accomplisb, even if honor, truth and friendship must be sacrificed to do it. Herceeach party gives publicity to falsehood concerning the other, buys votes, and makes men drunk that it may win. When reprimand ed for making such flagitious agsaults on’ mo rality and freedom, each party excuses itself by saying, “Ah, well! the other party does just what we do; besides, the end. (victory) justifies the use of such means,” ; :

Every minister should preach against these shameful practices. As the divinely commissioned defender of Christianity, | it-is his duty to.do so, tor they do more to check the growth of goodness in - this country than anything else. . He should set himself against these abuses with the heroic determination to overthrow them, end good men and patriots, without respect to sect or party, will come to his assistance and help to remove them, that they may no longer corrupt the people end endanger the Republic. AMicus, Y e John J. Patterson. - We are pleased. to read an article like the following in that intensely republican sheet, the Indianapolis Journal : The charge that John J . Patterson bought his election to the U.S. Senate from South Carolina is supported by specifications of corruption so strong and pu. merous that the Senate owes it to itself to order an investigation. If one half that is charged about the manner of his election is true, he is utterly undeserving of a seat in that body and honest men of all parties have a right to expect that the Senate will examine into the matter. The Senate of the United States is in its organization and functions, the most dignified deliberative body in the world, and should be the purest. It isa great thing for any man honorably and fairly to rep - _resent.a sovereign State, but it is corres. pondingly infamous for him to buy his' way into that high and sacred position.— There have been someé weak and mediocre men in the Senate of late years, and 1t is high time that the people and the Sepate itself should unite to elevate the standard. Above all things, no man should enter there whose election bears the slightest i taint of fraud. Patterson calls himself a Republiean, but the indications are that ' be is a corrupt man, and that his election - was eecured threugh bribery. It is to be hoped that an independent press, regardless of party, will demand an investigation .of the case. -

The NarroNau BANNER, in the future, as in the past, will be the exponent of what it conceives to be correct principles. It is independent, fearless and free in politics, and will exnbose corruption and fraud under whatever party name it may be found, believing thatithe true mission of the press is the promotion of the best interests of the masses of the people, to whom alone every honest journal loekt for countenance and support. We shall labor, therefore, to serve the general welfare, in defiauce of the opposition of cliques and rings of all parties, 7 - Opposed, as we are, to a reign of oppression, tyranny, corruption, erime, venality, fraud and theft, we have cast our lot with the Democrat-ic-Liberal organization, and shall support its nominees— County, State and National ; beliey-ing-that, in no other way, can the purity of the ballot-box be maintained, public and private confidence restored, the weight of taxation removed, and peace and quiet restored between all sections. As we think, the people have now undertaken to control their own affairs, and we propose to aid them in the discharge of that Jaudable undertaking, looking forward to that era of fraternal feeling which must necessarily result from every combination in which the masses prepose to untrammel themselves from party domination and usurpation.

Our columns are open and free to everybody for the disputation of all subjects of interest to the people generally.
