The Farm and Household. A rgﬁ‘%g "Sff“ B = eTR - g if’n" .. @eood Morning, ~-~ it D«%t: .foifgatajo say “good morning!” " Say.it to your parents, your brothers and sisters, your scheolmates, your - teachers—and say .it cheerfully and - with a smile;-it willdo you good, and ‘do your friends good. There’s & kind _of ingpiration in every “good morn: ing,” heartily and smilingly spoken, that helps to make hope fresher and work lighter. It seems really to make ‘the morning good, and to be prophecy “of a good day to come after it. © And if this be true of the “good morning,” it is so of all kind,heartsome greet~ ings; they cheer the discouraged, rest . the tifed one, and somehow make the wheels of life run more smoothly. Be - liberal'with them, and let no morning pass, however dark and gloomy it may ~ be, that you do not help at least to brighten by your smiles and cheerful . ‘weords, . : I | Don’t Kill Your Best Fowls. - It'is the worst possible policy to kill all ygur best and ~handsomest fowls, and save only the mean and . seraggy ones to breed from. This is precisely the way to run out your stock; for like tends to breed like, and _the result is, that by continually taking away. the best birds, and using . the eggs of the poorest, your flock will -grow poorer each succeeding year. It would seem- as though this was too ~ plain to be insisted upon, but in fact, * “line upon line”.is needed. | It is the crying want of the poultry upon the , farmsthe country through, this care- “ ful and intelligent- selection of the “best for breeding. Nothing is lost by a little self-denial to-start with. The “extra pound or two of paltry flesh that you leave on its legs, instead of * sending it to the market, is- as good seed, and will bring forth ten-fold and twenty-fold to your future broods. - Save your best stock for breeding:

Save the Ashes.

Can we persuade our farmers, or one farmer to be more saving of their or his ashes? Many of us have sowu “ashes and have seen but little effect. It was (and always'is) because there ~was but little sown. There was an effect; and it needs but little effect in a large field to add quite a number of bushels' of grain and a few tons of hay, which can hardly be seen on a large scale. Butif applied moré plen- . tifully it.will become .visible; and there will be enough difference to make the ashes pay double and often triple their cost. There is not .so much profit as upon plaster; there is upon nothing. - But there is a fair proportion as :with. other manures. They are generally necessary to the soil; having been taken from it, they ought to be returned to it;.they are the pure, the needed organic elements. In new land it is tiue there is less need for them; but in all old soils, especially land that has had little mamure applied to it—barnyard manure ‘—and has been dependent upon clover or sod, ashes are 'just the thing -wanted. If ashes have been. plenti- ~ fully;used:to produce the sod, less are needed afterwards, as the supplyis in the soil ; Grass then should receive them, clover especially, as this gets much of its strength from the air, and - needs the organic elements to-effect the arganic, *- - " e b

Leached or unleached ashes both are good,. - The former contains -less ofshe soluble, contains’ less potash particalarly, but otherwise is equally good. Save the ashes; and for a.-full effect. sow -them thickly—twenty to fifty bushels and more may be applied’ per acre; and it is not too thick where the soil'needs;it as it generally does. The effect lagts for years. Particularly on ‘meadows are ashes a benefit. —lndiana Fgrmer. - % X How Piayos are Imjured. =~ According tofa prominent manufacturer, there aréymore pianos injured by Improper tuning. than by legiti-mate-use gnd the consequent natural wear of the instruments. The frame of a good piano, fully strung and tuned, is made to resist a tension.equal to about seven tons. This severe strain relaxes as the strings recede from the ‘piteh, but is renewed when the piano is tuned; and it is-frequently: discovered, as a result .of the repeated pro“cess, that the framie 18 bent or bellied : and at the hands of an ignorant tuner, or one lacking good judgment, the instrument at this stage is soon’ injured ' ‘beyond remedy. With reasonable use, .a piano is expected to remain in good condition seven years, and the makers will so guarantee their instruments; -but the incompetence and mal-prac-tice of certain so-called tuners sets ‘the seal of destruction on thousands of instruments in from two to five years. The piano manpfacturers advise purchasers to have their instruments tuned by representatives of the ~respective factories from which- the pianos are sent, as they are aware of ~the terrible ordeal through-which the ~instrument must.pass at the hands ot .tuners of every degree of intelligence ‘and ability. - 1t is but.a fair presumption that the makers of an instrument - ought to know how to tune it,properly, “’and without injury fo its most important parts; yet there are comparatively very few persons who profit by the well-meant ‘advice, an impression -prevailing in some minds that the suggestion is not - entirely disinter- - ested, as the makers charge $2 for ' tuning while professional tuners and music stores ask but $1.50 and some of the Bohémians but $l. But were _the matter fully and generally understood by the owners of pianos, they would consider it greatly to their interést, even in the light of an invest-ment,-to have their instruments tuned by parties in whose hands there is not . the least possibility of accident or injury.—Scientific American.

Flowers on the Farm.

. It is often said, “we have no time on the farm for flowers.” -We cannot hear this without a feeling of regret. . and still hold that all the beautiful adornings of nature within our reach, -especially the flower, are particularly adapted to the farmer’s home. If one has much of work and care, so-much the more do they need these sweet, silent messengers of beauty -to keop them company. We know better than can be told in words how much work there is to be done in and about'a farm house, and we know, too, how ~wonderfully well it pays our working women to grow the lovely flowers ‘around their -country homes. -We never see a dwelling with no flowers: without thinking of the pleasure lost : to its inmates, and also the beguty wanting in the landscape. Should . these lines meet the eye of any farnier’s wife who has hitherto had none of these jewels of nature set about the home, it is not yet too late to have a few during the coming summer. Last year’s seed planted in July pro“duced prize flowers for the autumn - exhibitiens, - If household duties keep you almost constantly in the kitchen, as they sometimes will, a box of pinks or bal-. sams (both charming box plants and .fﬂﬂ! bl@m@?k% easily cared ~ for as you pass in and out at your daily work. If you love them well- ~ enough you will find time for a few; the babe in your arms, if you have such a treasure, will be quieted by

If get with thrifty ‘plants in mid-summer afid watered freely twice a day, they will be in the “height of their beauty by autumn, when they should he removed to the house.” In nearly every home, ‘plants might be kept the first of the winter without freezing. They would certainly give-a'brighter look to our rooms on-Thanksgiving day and when the colder weather waits for the coming of the new year, we might keep ‘these relics of summer till Christmas time. Baskets may be made of anything that can be suspended by cords “or slender chains, Last year we made two very attractive baskets from the .comiion scollop squash; after the .shell became hard, took out the seeds; fastened spruce cones at the bottom, then stained and varnished. In one we planted Lobelia, in the'other Kennelworth Ivy; both of thesewill bloom in winter beautifully. German Ivy .is a more: rapid grower and pleasing ‘everywhere—H.

Senator Johnson of Tennessee.

ATI unprejudiced men the cguntry over rejoice at the election of ex-Pres-ident Johnson to the Senate of the United States. It was in the same chamber “where he will in a few days take his seat, that but a few short years ago, he was arraigned and tried by impeachment. Then, the most radical and corrupt body of men who ever assembled to make laws for a free people, determined to get possession of thé Executive department of the government, for reasons .the most unsatisfactory to honest men, that could be: possibly given. -And had it not been for afew Senators who had manhood and independence enough to lift themselves from the slime and sluce of party politics,. he. would have been ‘convicted of high ecrimes and -misde‘meanors, and the officeof President of these United States taken from him, He escaped the clutches of the very class of men whose policy and principtes have almost ruined the Republic; and now. goes among them having equal rights with them on the floor, and we hope health, strength and determination enough to ‘tell them ot their past listory, and how the 2 ierican people are marching forward to remove them as’ fast as possible from the office, ‘which for long véars they have disgraced. We almost regret the absence of the-drunken Senatorial loafer from Michigan, from the Senate chamber. - We. would be'glad to see him writhe for a while inder'the lash and sting of “Andy” Johnson’s words. Howerver, there area few .of the old Radieals left -in the Senate, who we hope to see “skinned” by the Senator from Tennesseé. Andthat he will do it, we have not the least pérfgi‘gle of doubt. And that he will do it ably and well, there need not be.any fears. —Terre Haute Journal. .

The 3ason House to be Kemodeled - . -and Re-Christened. g

Thomas Baker, Esq., the enterprising proprietor of the Baker-Mason, closed a ten:year’s lease yesterday, at a rvental of $30,000 per. annum on the entire block, corner of. Illinois .and Maryland streets, running south to Chesapeake street, a:sp‘ztciuﬁs area in the very heart of the city, upon which a magnificent hotel, the largest in the State, is to be erected: this season.— The Illinois street frontage will be 195 feet..” The Maryland street front will be 156 feet,: corresponding with the south front on Chesapeake street.— The nea house is to be called the Grand Hetel. It is.to be-six stories high,including basemént and Mansard: It will be proyided with elevators, hot and eold water, and will be heated by steam throughout. It will have 150 roois, single and. en suite, with spa¢ious drawing and dining rooms; private parlors,ete., complete in all the modern conveniences.! The new hotel will be o%réned .about the Ist of September. The plan of the entire structare has bﬁen pertected underthe personal supervision of Mr, Baker. Asa vealization of his beau ideal it will be a grand hotel in fact as in name, and will no doubt be a credit to Indianapolis and/'the State.—Journal, Jan. 28.

Regularity Brings Vigor.

Local irregularities produce weakness of ghe entire system. In order, therefo®, to re-establish health and. strength+upon a sure basis, these irregularities must. be .permanently ‘overcome. Many persons endeavor to reform them by remedies which ad{lress.themselves: merely to the symptoms, without affecting the cause. If such individuals were to use instead Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, they wo’d speedily appreciate the difference between a mediciné which palliates, and one which-entirgly removes physical ‘disability. —~That prime regulator of hodily disturbances restores the derelict organs to an uninterrupted and healthy performance of their various duties, -whereby alone the system can recover its lost tone and vigor. Hostetter’s Bitters are a tonic medicine, but they are a tonic: which regulates ere they strengthen the system. 41-w4.

Andy’s Official Career.

Probably no man now living in this cotintry has had a more extensive or varied experience in public life than Andrew Johnson. After serving several years in both branches of the Tennessee 'Legislature, he was glfcted a Representative in €ongress and served in that capacity from 1843 to 1853.— ‘Thén he was chosen Governor of Tennessee and served two terms. * In 1857 he was elected to the United States senatfe and'se%rved there till 1862, when he resigned to accept the position of Military Governor -of Tennessee. In Aypril, 1865, by the-death of Mr. Lincoln, he became President of the United States. He was sixty-six years old last December, and six years. more in the Senate will probably suffice to square his accounts-and wind -up-his political career.’ St 2 :

A the very time that the Jacobing in the Administration and in Congress are passing a law making it obligatory upon the whites to associate together with negroes upon terms of ‘equality in schools, hotels, public-convévances, ete., the Administration of Grant accepts a money indemnity from Spain ‘of .$5OO each to the families of the murdered white ‘men of the Virginius, and $3OO each to the families of negroes who were slaughtered on the same oceasion. Thus the vaunted friends of the negro appraise a colored mhn’s life at only three-fifths the valne of @ white man’s. - If there is this distinction; why enforce the so-called Civil Rights Bill? Because, if a negro’s life is only a little more than half as valuable as a white man’s, they ¢an’t stand on the same plane of equality. For ourselves,’we can not see, in the Virginius matter, why this distinetion of color should be made.— Canthenegroed? - . 1 ..

e Ty G— |, ik | | BLOOD DISEASES. : “The blood being the. source from which our systems are built up and. from which: we derive oiir mental as well as physical capabilities, how important that it should be kept pure: If it contains vile festering poisons all arganic functions are weakened thereby. ' Settling upon important organs, as the lungs, liver or kidneys, the effect is: most disastrous. Hence, it behooves every one to.keep their blood in a perfectly healthy condition and more especially does this apply at this particular season of the year than at any other. No matter what the exciting cause may be, the real cause of a large proportion of all diseases is bad blood. Now Dr. Pierce does not wish 4+ prace his Golden Medical Discovery i 11e catalogue of quack patent nostrums by ;recommending it to cure every disease, nor does he so recommend it, on-the contrary there are hundreds of diseases that he acknowledges it will not cure; but what he does claim is this, that there is but ane ‘orm of blood disease that it will not cire, and that disease is cancer. =He does not recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to be the most searching blood cleanser yet diseovered, and that it will free the blood

and system of all other known blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral..

In 1871 a ‘swelling broke on her hip discharging large quantities, and since that time there are several openings. IHave had five doctors-at an expense of $125, who say nothing will do any good but a surgieal operation.

About 9 o’clock a man named Charles Goney, silver-ware tender at the Louisville Hotel, in this city, shot Eleanor Bruechet, a widow, living on Eighth street,-afew doors beyond Sycamore, and, thinkinhg that he had murdered her, put his revolver to his head and killed himself. Goney, who is a’ Frenchman, was accustomed to having his washing done in New Albany by Mrs. Bruechet, and every Monday night went over to get his clothes. He came as usual yesterday ‘evening, about the hour mentioned above, and found Mrs, Bruechet:: at home with ‘her three brothers, named @ respectively, Peter, Frank and George Mone, wlO wele engaged in the front room piaying cards. He‘éntered into conversation with her in a tone so low_ that the brothers could not: eatch its drift, and both retired t¢ a back room. Suddenly the neighborhood was startled by two pistol-shots, one a few sec-. onds after the other. ' The "brothers rushed in and found Murs. Bruechet Iying upon the floor in the middle of the room, and Goney’s corpse a few reet off. ' No explanation of the bloody affair could be obtained .at the late hour. Murs. Bruechet informed -our réporter that as soon as she entered the room with Goney, he began abusing her, for what cause sheé was ignorant, and before she was aware of his i‘ggéntion drew a revolver and fired at her, the ball inflicting a seyere though not dangerous wound in her right iitigh. " Goney then placed the muzzie of his weapon:above his left eye and instantly killed himself:. Goney was about forty-five years of age. . He was a married man, althougl: his wife separated from him several years ago. There is some mystery about the affair gmt” will doubtless be cleared up to- ., What Beecher Must Explain. { The evidence against 'l:Te'lf!iﬂ:‘e,’t_ _conjiniies to be of the most overwhelming character, and tor tg.ié_ grsf. time his most devoged friends are beginning to give waybeing reluctantly forced into the, cgnclusion that he is: guilty. Moulfoss testimony was not shaken ‘by a tén days’ exgmination, and Tilton is now in bis evidence giving ong particulars of the most damnag)ry' character.

THE Lincoln Spy, a Journal published at the capital of Nebraska, claims the election of Governor Pad-dock-to the United States Senate as a democratic victory. The only time he ever ran for Congress was on the democratic ticket. The Spy adds:

«Vietory has perched upon the democratic bannerin Nebraska in the selection of Governor A.S. Paddock as Senator. The backbone of the republican party has been broken, the rotten rings of corruption have received their death-blow, old bands have been .cast %verb@ard, ‘and Nebraska will soon_be numbered among the demo-, cratie States of the Union. Let the people rise up and rejoice. The fight was a hard one, but right has triumphed.” | :

The Columbits Republican very properly complains of the inefficiency of the present road laws, and calls en the Legislature ‘for a remedy.: It says: “Let our present laws be repealed, and one substituted assessing a reasonable road tax, and let the supervisor take this money and build so mpch of a pike each yearas the money will pay for, letting the contract out to the lowest bidder. to those who will do the most work for the money. If the money so raised in each district should only build one-half mile per year, within a few years miles of road in.the country would be equal to first-class pikes, free of toll. Bartholomew county has thrown away money enough in the useléss repairing of roads to have bailt 100 miles of the best pikes in the country.” - ) S el B S

Readers of the BANNER are aware that an application has been pending for some time past before the Senate: ‘Committee on Patema% r the renewal of the patent of the four-motion feed or sewing-machines. = It is the most valuable sewing-machine patent in existenee, being owned by a combination of four leading companies, which have made great efforts to have it renewed. : The Senate committee has finally decided adversely 110 their application, and the patent will not be renewed. The ultimate effect of this decision will be to largely reduce the price of sewing machines, though this result’ will not come about for some time yet, owing to the existence of other patents which are yet to expire.

The American Newspaper Advertising Agency of Geo. P. Rowell & Co., New York, is“the only establishment of the kind inthe United States whicly keeps itself persistently before the people by advertising in newspapers.— They evidently receive their reward, for we have it from a reliable source that advertising orders issued by them for their customers have, exceeded three thousand dollars a day since the. commencement of ‘the year, and this is mot a very good year for advertising either. = ; b

Tae plain, straight forward disinterestedness which has characterized the whole of Frarcis D. Moulton’s testimony in the Beecher-Tilton case has caused a complete revolution of public opinion in his favor.. He passed thro’ ten days of tortuous, wearisome examination ‘on the witness ‘stand, the Jongest time ever occupied by one witness in the complete annals of American courts.
