The Farm and Househeld. eo e o R B L i e ' FARM DECORATIONS. No one ever thought, a few years ago, 'that flowers and flower culture had much to de with plain farming. A farmer was one who had simply to make money out of the ground; and ~all those topics which did not relate xmmedisfztely to nioney-making were - matters foreign to his thoughts. True, at all agricultural exhibitions there were a few premiums held out for flowers; but the amount of the awards was very trifling, and it was seldom thought becoming for any but the ladies to compete for them. Of late there seems to be a change. Farms, gardens, and the floral decorations of - farm houses ‘and farm tables are - among the most common of topics.in agricultural papers; and especially during the past winter matters of this kind have been among the most prominent topics at farmers’ clubs and agricultural meetings. This is all as it should be. There is no reason why farmers should not reap enjoyment - “from their pursuits as well as make "money; and there is no enjoyment which gives more real and lasting pleasure than horticultural ones. 1 It is often a matter of remark by -travelers in-France how light-hearted -the French people and French peasantry are, no matter how low or hard their lot may be. How much of this may be due to their floral taste? No ~ matter how small a lot'of ground they. may own, or how: slim- the product, they have a small piece devoted to roses or some other fancied flowers or fruit. Even in the cities where their lot is often harder than on the land, the poor never forget the flowers, let . what else may go. Mr. Fulton, .of Baltimore, iin one of his pleasant letters to his paper last year, referred especially to this trait in the city people. He says:

- “The French woman must have her daily supply of flowers, even if she is compelled to stint her table to obtain them. When she purchases the substantials for her breakfast she is sure to take home with her a boquet of flowers. You will scarcely pass a window in an inhabitable house where, from the basement to the pens erected upon the roofs, six and seven stories from the grouud, there is not a display of flower-pots. Having secured gquarters high up in the Louvre, we can look down upon the upper stories of the neighboring houses, in eac¢h room of which there appears to be a separate family. They seem to be tailors, and at daybreak in the morning the men are plying their needles and the women preparing for breakfast and arranging their boquets for the breakfast table. The cultivation of flowers in all the palace gardens and squares, and even by the street sides in the Champs Elysees, is. carried to perfection. The Luxemborg Garden is the finest display of flowers cultivated in the open air I have ever witnessed, and it is thronged every evening with admiring visitors. - So also at the Jardins des Plantes, which we visited recently. It was crowded with visitors, and the flowers attracted more attention than the great exhibition of the cattle of the field, the birds of the air, the beasts of the jungle and the fish of the sea, which are here collected and open free to the inspection of the public.” : It is pleasant to note that our people are gaining in this love for simple gardening. The French have the reputation of being frivolous to some extent. We need not imitate them in their failings and. weaknesses, but we can take good points and profit by them; and this'one of flower culture is especially. worthy of following.— Forney’s Press. b

: wIS)hT,LL‘BED-CIIA‘.\IBERS. '+ There is reason to believe that more cdses of dangerous and fatal diseases are gradually engendered annually by -the habit of sleeping in unventilated rooms, than have eccurred froql a ¢holera atmosphere in any year since it made its appearance in this country.’ ‘Very many persons sleep in eight by ten rooms; that is, in rooms in which, - nrultiplied again by ten for the height -of the chamber, would make it just eight hundred cubic feet, while the - cubie feet for each bed, according to the English apportionment for hospitals, is twenty-one hundred feet. But more, in order “to give the sick-room the highest degree of freshness,” the - French Hospitals contract for a complete renewal of the air of the room - every hour, while the English dssert that double the amount, or over four thousand feet -an hour is required. Four thousand feet of air an hour! aild yet there are multitudes in New . York who sleep with closed doors and windows in rooms which do not contain a thousand cubic feet of space " and that thousand feet is to last all ‘night, at least eight hours, except such | [scanty supplies as may be obtained of | lany fresh air that may insinuate itself through little crevices, by door or window, not an eighth of an inch in thickness. But when it is known that in many cases a man and wife and infant sleep habitually in thousand feet rooms, it is no marvel that multitudes perish prematurely in cities; no wonder' that infant children wilt away like flowers without water, and that five thousand of them are tqQ die in the city of New York alone during the hundred days which include the 15th day of July every year. . ] Another i!éa,ct .18 suggestive, that among the fifty thousand persons who - sleep nightly in the lodging hy sof ‘Londona'mz? e ggl%upﬁ n the im{)rOVed’ principles of space and ventiation already referred to, it lias been - proven that not one single ca ﬁf fever has been engendered in two years!

. EprTor BANNER:—WiII yoii please | give me a small space in the columns of the BANNER for the purposeof giving my opinion of a plow sold by J. M. Chapman & Co. and known as the South Bend Chilled Plow? I have thoroughly tested both the two-horge - and thwee-horse plows and can fully say that the three horse plow runs . lighter than any plow I ever nsed. It is circulated in this locality that John o P. Kitt bought one of the two-horse plows of the above firm and broke it all to pieces, which is a grand mistake. 1 would advise all farmers to try this plow for themselves and can assure them that it will give enfire satisfaction, Messrs. J. M. Chapman & Co. may feel proud of having secured the agency of this plow, as I believe it is the greatest success of the age to all . farmers.’ For my part, I w()ufd not do without one of these plows for twice the price. Respectfully Yours, . : JEFFERSON ADBIS. A new “wrinkle” about the age of horse is the digcovery of an Illinois farmer, who determines the age of all ~ animals over nine years old by the following novel method: After the S s ~comes on vhe upper corner of the low- . hehas one well ¢ ﬂ;fd’f: . for . ‘every year over nine.

.~ TWOQ NEW POTATOES. i The Country Gentleman says that Mr. C. G. Pringle and Mr. E. S. Brownville, of Vermont, have spent many years in propagating and testing seedling:ri Oftytht? potato. Eagh has obtained a variety by crossing the white peach ‘blow upon theearly rose. Mr. Pringle again fertilized the flowers of his seedling with the pollen of the excelsior, and the result of his hybridization is the %gty he calls the snowflake.” Tt is“d“second early” potato of the average size. The potato gets thoroughly ripe and the vines dry: up by the middle of September. In quality, whiteness of flesh when cooked and mealiness, it is pronounced perfeet by those who have eaten it. It has also many good keeping‘qualities, thus being well adapted for a market - potato. _ ; ‘ The other seedling referred to is called Brownell’s Beauty. Itisindeed a beauty, and the samples at the new York State Fair at Albany last fall attracted much attention. Its season is the same as that of the snpw-flake, but it is said to keep well in cool cellars until the succeeding August. It is also white fleshbaked, cooking very mealy, either by boiling or baking. It promises to be a heavy yielder. Both varieties are considered an improvement on the peachblow, in earliness and yielding qualities, and are represented to be always free from the core or hollow often found in the peachblow, especially when raised on rich ground. They also grow compactly in the hill, wheréein_the peachblow greatlyfails. The yield are larger than the early rose, and they yield fully as large crops as that variety in its palmiest days. SEEe e > P—— DeKalb County Items. {[From the Waterloo Press, April 23.] . A few cases of mumps have appear-eod-in town and viecinity. Prof. J. A. Barns, of this placé, is the author of a school history of Indiana. ‘ ; Crop reporters all say that the wheat is good everywhere, except in this immediate vicinity. : Business men claim that it is harder to make collections now than during the so-called “panic” last fall. The contract for the Catholic church at Auburn has been let. The building will be 30x66 feet, and will cost some $2,000. : j .~ TEMPERANCE AT BUTLER.—On F'riday night last Henry Chance, a rather intemperate speaker, addressed the citizens of Butler upon the prevailing topic. -He was accompanied, however, by Grand Worthy Chief Templar Reynolds of this State, who took the initiatory steps to the organization of a Lodge of Good Templars. The names of over thirty charter members were received on Friday evening. The crusade will hardly be adopted at Bute ler, its ill-success at other points having had a discouraging effect, it js claimed by those having the cause in charge. There is only one saloon in the village. The two drug stores do not sell liquor to be used as a beverage, and claim to use great circumspection in selling it at all. ; ~

Elkhart County Items. : [From the Goshen Democrat, April 22.] oOld John Wert, of Middlebury township, thinks he has made more sugar this spring than any other man in Elkhart county. He has manufactured nineteen hundred and twenty pounds upon the farm owned by Ed. Foster. If any man can show a greater yield “let him say so, that’s all.” , Why will not some enterprising man or men start a building association in this’ city? The demand for decent tenemeént houses is increasing daily, and there is no effort made to/supply the demand. This shows a lack of enterprise among our property holders not to be founrd in any respectable town in Northern Indiana. It is really shameful. How can our manufacturing interests grow when there are no houses for mechanics to live in? - We are sorry to record -the widespread destruction of the wheat on clay soil. The complaint extends all over the State. On our sandy soil the wheat is not seriously injured by the winter or spring thawing and freezing. The clover on clay landsis about as badly off as the wheat. Where the wheat and the clover. has failed we hope some summer crops will be put in to make up the loss. o

Injustice of the Assessment Law. The Bloomington Progress says:- It does seem that there is downright injustice in the Indiana assessment law, ag ig is interpreted. To illustrate: A man has money loaned or invested to the amount of $5,000, and has real estate valued at $3,000. Heowes $2,000 on the real estate, for which he has given his notes. Now, he is not permitted to deduct his indebtedness from his money loaned, nor from the value of his real estate, but is taxed for $B,OOO, ($2,000-‘more than he is worth) and the holder of those notes is also required to list them for taxation. :

Tue Cincinnati Commercial in response to the inquiry of a distressed darky the day after the election in that city, as to the whereabouts of the Liberal Republican party, says that it now liesin the belly of the Democracy. Under this state of facts theDemocracy are decidedly in an énteresting condition.—Zerre Haute Journal.

_ SoutH CAROLINA has appealed in vain to the President for protection against the carpet-bag rapacities that have well nigh blofted out the last spark of personal and political liberty and sunk her into hopeless ruin. Congress has at last granted that which the President refused, and an investigation will soon be made. :

Wona CHIN Foo is the euphonious name of the rirst Chinaman ever admitted to citizenship in this country. It was decreed by the circuit court at Grand Rapids, Michigan, last Friday. John is the first of his nationality to renounce allegiance to China and seek that life, liberty and happiness guaranteed to évery “melican man.”

- AMONG Sumner’s papers many curious revelations are brought to light. The last is the offer of the Chief Justiceship by Lincoln after Taney’s death, which he refused, claiming that duty to his party and personal considerations for Chase forbid him accepting the exalted post. ey {B— Jones and Brown were talking lately of a young clergyman whose preaching they had heard that day. “What do you think of him ?” dsked Brown. “T think,” said Jones, “he did better two years ago.” “Why he didn’t prje&ch then!” “Tlrue” said Jones; “That is what I mean.” - . MRs. SARAH PoLK, widow of President Polk, has applied to Congress to pay her for $2,040 taken from her during the late war, The court of claims hag vefused ta adjust the claim. A company has been wrganized in Fort Wayne for the manufacture of the Daniels artificial stone, and a building 120x140 feet has been erected for the works. i : ittt 4 A i PerNICIOUS demagogues in and out of Congress. are availing th%‘elm of the currency question to kindle anew sectional »&guﬁee and animosities.

, APPLETON'S . ® AMERICAN CYCLOP ADIA. * New Revised Edition. Entireiy rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. - Printed from new type, and il- : lnstrated with Several Thousand En- : : gravings and Maps, Tk work originally published under the title of Tae NEw AMrRIOAN CYOLOPADIA Was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circnlation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal develozgments which have takern place in every branch of science, literature, and art. have induced the editors and publishers to submit 1t to an exact and thorongh revision, and to issue a new edition entitled Tur AMERTOAN CYOLOPAEDIA. : Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made a new. work of reference an im;ﬂwera ive want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoverier of science, and their fruitfu) application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofsocial life. Great -wars and congequent revolutions have occarred, involvinF national changes of peculiar moment ,— The civil war’ of our own country, which was at its beight when the last volume of the dld work ‘appeared, has happily been ended, and a new -course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. : . : Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa.” i ; The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives gvery one is curious to know the particulare. Great battles have been fonght and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient ]iublications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and | authentic history. . In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible ‘dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the - most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the Fractica] arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress nf political and historical events. ? : The work has been begun atter long and caree ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a succeseful termination. i . : None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on mew type, forming in fact & new Ciyclopedia with the same plan and complss as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditare, and with tuch improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. : A The illustrations which are introduced for the first time, in the present edition have been added not for thre sake of. }nctorial effect, but to give greater Jucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all brinches of explanations in the text. They embrace all bmncges of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Althoush intended for instruction rather than embellitﬁxment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a wel-: ccme reception as an admirable feature of the Oyclop@dia, and worthy 'of ite high character, ' ~ This work is Bold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume.

In theix treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various argans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same timestinmulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. !

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters-have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysir of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS occadionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt- Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustiiles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald-head, Sere Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in'a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many theusands, are effectually destroyed gnd removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, orthe turn of life, these Ton- . ic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob‘structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tel. gou when. Keep the blood Yure, and the ealth of the ﬁstem will follow. ! “‘R. H. McDONALD & CO., Druggists & Gen.
