The Farm and: Household. th Ag x%?ﬁ)@&n h‘:‘iﬁe@%&% e is in unis versal desire tol @ n?% house. "It i moulding all the people, native and foreign born, into one homogenous mass. | The ownership of* a home'is something of v h%l neither the Irish peasant or the € an Taborer has; in. his own cow *‘ ] ”i ept & : »* it is here the zeal of Bis Hopes andddegires. | Eduestion comes: *"“’ t is something the: need of which is not -felt until the adornments of home are thought of. This desire to own the roof under which one sleeps is distinctly .an Awmeriean characteristic, andg;!{é@ M%ﬁ' adﬁfﬁgdtxé&l& growth which hasraised us in impottance in the scale of nations. It is the link which connects the man with the government; it adds to his interest in making and executing the laws, and identifies him with the usages and customs-of the people. .It i this element which gives.the people of Switzerland their unity and power,-and the lack of it causes nine-tenths of the unrest in Ireland. No feeling is stronger than the attachment of home, and nonation whose people possesses them, can lose its liberty. A home is the best start & man can makeé in life.

Tue Ohio Parmer recommends feeding out hay in winter on places where the grads has been killed out. It says: By placing the sled on the barn floor, and throwing the hay from the mow upon- it, the seed which shells off is not lost; but may be left where desired. We have practiced this method of improving pastures' in winter, and know that the labor pays well. Some ‘may ar%ue that it makes aloss of feed, but that is not the case if two things are observed—first, that the ground is not Boft or snow upon it; and, second, that no more is given the stock than they would eat up clean in the stable. |Cattle in the main have good appetites, and will eat up almost every spear ‘given them by a careful manager. The great loss from outdoor feeding |comes from an over supply, and tramping the fodder into the mud. Try to avoid this.

I¥ a'person begins to grate a nutmeg at the stalk end, it will prove hollow throughout; whereas the other end would have proved sound and solid to the last. This circumstance may thus:be accounted for: The center of a nutmeg consists of a number of fibers issuing from the stalks and its continuation through the center of the fruit, the other ends of which fibers, though closely surrounded and pressed by the fruit, do not adhere to it. When the stalk is grated away, thesé fibers, having lost their hold, gradually drop out in succession, and the hol]]i)w continues through the whole nut. By beginning at the contrary end, the fibers above mentioned are grated off at their core end, with the surrounding fruit, and do not drop out and eause a hole to be made.

Ir atallow candie be placed in.a gun and shot at a door, it will go through without sustaining any injury; and if 0 muskét ball be fired into water, it will not/only-rebound, but be flattened as if fired against a substance. A musket 'ball may be fired through a pane of kzlass; making a hole the size of the ball without cracking the glass; if the glass be suspended by a thread, it will' make no difference, and the thread will not even vibrate. In the arctic re}giongi, when the thermometor is below ‘'zero, persons can converse more than a mile distant.- Dr. Jameson asserts that he has heard every -word of 4 sermon at a distance of two _miles.

"EvERY farmer who has to fence his land knows too well how quickly posts planted [in the earth become rotten, especially in a damp spot. . [All of them w’iﬂliwelcome the following process to “prévent rottenness-—a process as wonderful in its effects as it is simple and almost costless. « It-is taken from Le Ried #ublic of Dijon, France: Take linseed+oil; boil it, and mix it with charcoal dust until the mixture has the |consistency of an ordinary paint. -Give to thie posts a single coat of the mixture or paint before planting them, and no farmer, even living to the age of patriarchs of old, will live long enough to see the same posts rotten. | i {

. A CORRESPONDENT of the Scientific Amercan.says: Thebest simple remedy I have found for surface wounds, such as cuts, abrasions of the skin, &c., is charcoal. Take a live coal from the stove, pulverize it, apply to the wound and cover the whole with a rag. The charcoal absorbs the fluids secreted by the wound, and lays the foundation of the scab; it also prevents the rag from irritating the flesh, and it is antiseptic. If, however, you prefer a white scab to a black one, use quinine instead. This possesses all the virtues of the charcoal, and is, besides, astringent and tonie.

.Two thousand dollars seem to be a pretty steep price to pay'for a rooster, but such was the amount paid-to Ira Batchelder, of Mount Crawford, Me., for his black Spanish rooster called (Greneral (‘_}gstelar.

Dayvis, civil® engineer on the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad, considers s him the game bird in this country—he being the-only one hatched from a dozen eggs brought from Matauzas,/Caba.. - {

WILD coffee bushes are plentiful in Amador and other countiesin California, 'The berries are known to the settlers as “cat berrier,” but are in every respect similar to the coffee of commerce,’ A Columbian consul, who is intimately acquainted with the cultivation of coffee in South America, is confident that the shrub is the genuine coffee plant, and capable of producing under cultivation a superior quality of coffée. That’s good news.

LET Indian corn be browned as we roast coffee, ground fine in a mill, and made into mush, gruel or thin cakes, baked brewn. This will be retained by the most infeebled stomach.— Pearched ¢orn, and meal boiled in skim milk, is said to cure summer diarrhea in children. '

'~ The crusade hasB been kept lively. The ladies tried every means they could contrive to check the sale of intoxieating liquors, but did not succeed very well. The liguor dealers would listen to neither prayers nor threats‘ But'the ladies finally succeeded in getting the business men to take the matter/in hand. A A meeting was held one day last week and the business men decided that liquor saloons must be closed. A committee was appointed to notify the proprietors of the several saloons that their bars must be closed on or before the 25th day of April at six o’cleck . M,; that.if any liquor was sold after that time they would be arrested and held toaccount for jt.. At this the dealers concluded they had better suspend business, and at six o’clock on Saturday evening theéir bars were closed. From that hour till midnight the streets were full of drunken men and boys. We

have never seen this town when there was so much noise in it as there was Jast Saturday night. It seemed as though the “old chap” himself were let loose. In Hillsdale there are fourteen places whére liquor was sold. Of these four are hotels, and the propriators say they will close their houses on the sixth of May, as they cannot make their business pay unless they The building committee of Hillsdale build—whether ou the old plan or in five separatebilldings, They decided ipon the latter, three of which are to buildings are -eompleted the students Will no longer be cramped up in rooms in which the sun ean never shine, as they were in the old, and the recitatien rooms and soéiety halls are to be much largerfhan the old.© * . i The ihsurance on the old college uilding amounted to $40,000, but for me reason they could only collect 20,060, - Notwithstanding this loss it has been decided to build again. We ope that before many years the old uilding will be forgotten in the grandess of the new. : FRANK.

i ' WFrom Noblesville. » . [Recelved too late for last week’s issue.] j Nothing of much importance has ranspired in this locality of late, but few ‘items may not come amiss. Is Ligonier incorporated? and if 0, have cows a right to run at large? e farmers are very much annoyed them while in town. We take a ttle hay along in our wagons for our

horses to eat while we are transacting our business, but the infernal cows steal it. = 'When in town one day last week I heard a man swear that if he had a revolver he “would kill*that d—n cow.” It is provoking, : Clinton Freeman’s horse ran away while attached to a buggy one day last week, but no serious damage was aopne.

Our postmaster is in for business. He has built a nica paling fence in front of his residence, which beats anything in this place. . The late rains have improved the wheat considerably, but still some fields will hardly pay to harvest, while others look as well as T evér saw them. Some farmers have plowed up a part of their wheat and sowed the ground in oats. That on sandy ground fared pretty well, but on clay land it is badly frozen out, as also in the clover. Our assessor has made his raid through this end of the township..

Letter from Bristol, Ind. We are comfortably situated in this beautiful town on the banks of the St. Joe; have a nice little Church (far too small for the congregation at present); a fair Parsonage, attentive audience, and good society meetings and prospect of a pleasant and prosperous yvear.

The female eérusade is fairly inaugurated here. We had Mrs. Emma Molloy with us'yesterday who addressed a packed house, and it is not too much to say that it was the grandest success in the way of a temperance lecture I ever heard. One man remarked that he had heard.J. B. Gough, but Mrs. Molloy was far-better. She assisted in organizing the ladies and this evening 'they commence their prayer meetings. We have but one saloon and drug store to close, and we hope the next time you hear from us these shall be among. the things that were but are no more. : . -While we have a general supply of the necessaries of life here, we greatly miss the local news that your excellent columns afforded us at Ligonier. I therefore feel like saying: please restore my name to your list a few months until T get weancd off from my kind associations in Ligonier, and oblige 0 4 F, A SALE,

Henry Clay Dean—He Wears an Edi- : tor’s Shirt Four Years. W. L. Tipple, attorney for the Florence Sewing Machine company, St. Louis, enlivened our editorial rooms yesterday. He tells a good one on the late Austin Brooks, editor of the Quincy Herald. Mrs: Brooks is remarkably neat in every respect, and least of all can she tolerate a man with a soiled shirt front. One day Mr. Brooks invited Henry Clay Dean, known as “Dirty Shirt” Dean, home to dinner.— Mrs. Brooks was shocked at his filthy appearance, and privately assured her husband that she could not eat with a man in such a shirt. Brooks told her Dean was a great man,a prominent politician and particular friend of his, but to no purpoese; that dirty shirt overshadowed : all - his virtues. At length a compromise was agreed upon. Brooks was toinvite Dean to the bathroom, induce him to-astonish his person with' soap and water, and have one of his (Brooks’) shirts ready for him when he came out of the tub.— Dean submitted with bad grace, dipped himself briefly and donned Brooks’ shirt. Immediately after dinner Mrs. ‘Brooks went to the bath-room, lifted Dean’s cast-off shirt on a broomstick and carefully pitched it out at- the window. Four years later Dean came again, and was required to go through the same process. On going to the bath-room, Mrs. Brooks was horrified to find the shirt Dean had taken off this time was the same he had put on at her house four years before, and still bore the name of “Brooks” in indelibde ink.—St. Jo Gazette.

General Lee on Military Statesmen.

Gen. Lee said to me, “Whatever talents I may possess (and they are limited) are military talents. My education and training are military. I think that military and civil talents are distinct if not different, and full duty in either sphere is about as much as one man can qualify himiself to perform. I shall not do the people the injustice to accept highrcivil office with whose questions it has not been my business to become familiar.,” “Well, but General,” I insisted, “history does not sustain your view. Cesar, and ,Frederick of Prussia, and Bonaparte, were all great statesmen, as well as great generals.” “And all great tyrants,” he promptly responded. *“I speak of the republics, where, I think, we should have neither military statesmen nor political generals.” “But Washington was both, and yet not a tyrant,” I repeated. And with a beautiful smile he said, “Washington was an exception to all rules, and there was none like him.” : ; DL HL He

Great wars and congequent revolutions have occarred, involvinig national changes of peculiar monmrent .— The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old 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 explorere of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, 2 multitnde of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and - of whose lives every one, is curious to know the particuiari., ‘Great battles have béen fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved ’onlg in the newspapers or in the transient gublicatio 8 of the day, but which ‘ought now to-take their p]acr in permanent and anthentic history. ‘ln 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 inven‘tionsin the practical arts; as well as to give a suc¢inct and original record of the progress of politi"cal and historical pve%te, e . { The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for-carrying it on to a successful termimation, : : ~ None of the original stereotype plates have been ‘used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact & new Cyclop@dia with the same plan and compass:as its predecessor, but with 'a far greater pecuniary expenditore, and with such- improvements. in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of tpmtoria,l effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to thé explanations in the text..
