How the National Debt is Crowing. Ttte Democrat of Saturday gave us a fittk calculation, which shows that, spitu ef Mr. Bout-well's ctforts to reduce the

National debt and his declarations tliat he is reducing it, the debt i, in truth, steadily and largely growing. It is not our coteraporary's object to demonstrate this fact, but it does demonstrate it, nevertheless ; for it proves, and that, too, by arguments M irrefragable as Umm so often used by Mr. Pendleton in his Ohio speeches, that as gj ld declines all debts increase ; and, as the National Debt is the largest amount of indebtedness in this country, it shares and illustrates the general increase. The growing stringency in currency is the text on which the Democrat preaches. It asserts that this stringency will continue to grow and thus depicts the conse quences: . . " Property will apparently shrink in value. People who owe debts will have to pay them in a currency worth eighty or ninety cents instead of seventy cents on the dollar, and the practical effect will be real increase of one or two-sevenths in the amount of all debts. Thus note for ten thousand dollars, when gold was about 135, was really worth only about $7,000, but with gold worth only 110. that not will be worth about nine thousand. The change will be good for creditors, but lad for debtors. For, with appreciation in the value of currency, all property may be expected to shrink in nominal value. The house called worth ten thousand dollars when gold was worth 135, was really w rth only seven thousand, and with gold worth 110, supposing its real value to remain unchanged, the property would be called worth less than eight thousand. Thus a shrinkage in the nominal value of all propcrtv, accompanied by i.r increase in the value oj all debts, will b(ar heavily upon people who have large obligations to meet, lients must fall, prices must fall, go. hIs in stock or in transit must fall in nominal value, and the unlucky man who has been counting upon property valued at ten thousand in currency to secure him against a debtof ten thousand in currency will find himself short a couple of thousand. u ah this proves the wisdom ofth advice given months ago that men should begin at once to transact all their business on a gold basis. Those who have A ,ne so now need care little for the fluctuations of currency. It is gocd to get out of debt, or at least to get all debts adjusted at gold values." It is impossible to tind fault with this reasoning, or to avoid the conclusions it leads to. Its application to the national j debt produces efleea as startling as wouiu the lx)king at a savage monster through a telescope. Thus, when gold falls to 120, the increase of the debt will be one seventh. Taking the debt at s 2,400,000,000, tlii- increase will be $oP2,87,142, and the debt will in effect be $3.742,857,143. AVhen gold declines to 110 the debt will have grown two-sevenths, or .$'335,714,284, and be :3,085.714,284. And when gold falls to 100, or par, the debt will have Kiowa to the enormous proportions of 13,4287126. These are startling figures, but thry are mathematically correct; and they show that the Republican policy of paying tne nr.tional debt in coin will cost the people about $035,714,284. "All this proves," remarks our contemporary, " the wisdom of the advice given months ago that men should begin at once to transact all th'dr business on a eold basis. It is good to get out of debt, or at least to get m debt t djusted at gold values." The term "all debts" includes the national debt ; and to adjust it at a gold value (taking gold at 136l and the portion of the debt payable in lawful mwy at $1,: 500,000,000) would reduce thedebt $450,000,000, mukingit $1,-H-0,000,000 which is the sum the people ought to pay, according to the Democrat's lone and all thty ought to pay by every principle of justice. Had the debt been atljusted at a gold value when gold stood at 900, the debt would now be only about $1,650,000,000. But the Republican party stands in the way of this manifest justice. It insists that the debt shall remain at an inllated currency standard, and be paid in gold which, in practical effect, adds more than one-fourth to the size of the debt. 31 r. BontwelTi policy is the arowed one of elevating the public credit ; but in absolute truth, it is one to decrease the power of the people to pay their debt. He atl and so far :?s we know with good fteeon that he lias reduced the debt $56,OOO.lMK) within the last six mouths. Bat he claims credit for having reduced the price of gold about ten per cent, which, estimating roughlv, adds about ten per cent, (f 150.000000) to the debt. Clearly, then, while this policy is entirely acceptaUc to the creditors of the Government, it h hamh in the extreme on the people. M - j ri li publica, " Loyal" Chivalry. Tnr.RE is a great affectation of chivalry and niMgnanimityiin Republic an newspapeei just now, in commenting upon the inner in which the wife of the President has been treated by he Democratic press. It is said that she should be sacred from the warfare of politics, and a great deal of sentimentality is poured out on her account. We have not Jseen a Democratic newspaper in which there has appeared a h u sh remark concerning Mrs, Grant. The Tmm published the denial by the New York Time that she wrote the letter to C'orbiii which Gould and Fisk say she did, and s;iid the denial would tend to discredit the testimony of Gould and WVk on thLs point. Unfortunately for the President and Mrs. Grant, there are so many tircumrtaaeei to enow that they were connect t .1 with the gold conspiracy, and to sustain the narrative of Gould, that their denial of il ; mil ict ion with it will not generally relieve them from suspicion. The disclaimer by the President, addressed to Boner, will have the same weight as would the statement of any other man who has been convicted on unimpeachable testimony of falsehood and perfidy concerning an olFense on which he stands charged It is not probable that such a man would acknowledge the offense. Am -'ir Mrs. Grant, if she was interested in the gold conspiracy, and made $25,000 out of it, the duty of the newspapers of all parti-s should b au them to state the facts in the w. The fact that she is the wife of the President is the very reason why her connection with the ring would be more discreditable thin if her könnend bad not authority, by virtue of his office, to insure the success of the conspiracy. Some of the newspapers now tilled with chivalric sentiment when speaking of Mrs. Grant had different Idem about the time Mrs. Lincoln was trying to sell her wardrobe. There is a difference between the widow and the wife of a President. The rrrtve of her husband invests the former with no promises for power and advancement, but the wife finds in her husband's office an influence which will protect her, though she may " speculate " out of a general distress, created for speculation. Ckimm limes. The Fossil of the Period, Tiik Buffalo Exprc has the following : To the Editor of the Express. Balcom s Corners, Oct. 2". While the interest excited in 0QJ community by the newspaper account of the Syraeu3- conundrum was at its height, we wen plunged into extreme excitemei t by the reported discovery of a fossil in the clay bank just west of our town. A visit to the place proved the report to le wellfounded. At the bottom of the excavation, about six feet square by seven deep, apj)eared what all present concurred in pronouncing a fossil man. It reclined against one corner of the cavity, and when ducovered it was in a semi-recumbent or sitting posture, with its face toward the rising sun, and its neither extremities parted at an angle of about forty -tire degrees. The s .il in which it was found is a compact blue clay, which evidently has been 1. Hited many centuries. 8o much of this soil adhered to the figure as to render its minute aad critical examination quite difficult, as it was feared that an attempt to remove the foreign matter might result in injury tu the Um il. It was, however, plainly apparent the figure had once been . man. and the processor petrifaction had leen so complete as t preserve even hi apparel and some of the utensils of the

pre-historic aire to whichjhe belonged. His head was surmounted by a sort Of helmet with open visor; his body was protected by a loose robe of what had once been hin Rnd his lean were encased in a bifur

cated garment ending in greaves similar to the modern cavalry boots. His right hand clutched an article which gave rife to some discussion, as its real torm was mute distruiscd by the adhering clay, gome insisted that it was a short war club, while to others it seemed a pestle. The head of this remarkable relic of a former race droops so as to render a full inspection of its face impossible ; but its features are of the unmistakable Greek type, with a serene and placid expression wherever the overlying clay allows the expression to become visible. Reasoning from the character of the soil the only geologist of this neighborhood declares that the Jesuits could not have petrified this fossil, as he must have inhabited his tenement of clay before the Jesuits commenced chiselling mankind. He thinks this specimen may be a remote ancestor of the Syracuse statue. In the interest of science I have purchased the venerable petrifaction, leased the adjacent premises, and erected a comimxlious tent over the excavation as a protection to the t s.sil against the ravages of time and vandalism. Believing that "the proper study of mankind is man," I propose to exhibit this one to a discriminating public, at the rate of twenty-five cents a head. Considering the superior claims of my fossil to the respect of those who reverence antiquity and good clothes, I think my price is doe; cheap, and is calculated to bring a blush to the cheek of the Syracuse management. On Saturday afternoons, Fossil Matinees, at which the clergy will be admitted free if tlu-y will acknowledge the courtesy in their sermons. To alleviate the melancholy reflections induced by the spectacle of the venerable defunct, I have engaged an accomplished hand organist, who will make it interesting to the patrons by snatches of operatic air He snatches them beautifully, and, next to my fossil, he is the best feature of the entertainment. Photographs and autographs of the fossil for sale to those who desire the oldest extinct picture extant. Respectfully, fcc, Ht. Slocum. P. 8. Just as I was about to mail this, I received a message which has plunged me into the most profound grief. While my organist was playing "The wearing of the green," the Greek features of my fossil began to work spasmodically, and as the last note was touched, said he, "Play it acrain, avick ! But that's the tunc to wake an Irishman wid !" Alas ! my fossil had got drunk and fallen into the excavation, where deep slumber and adhering clay had converted him into an apparent petrifaction. His helmet was :.n old tile ; his open visor was the rim hanging beneath his chin ; his robe of skins was a Iriec coat, and his short war club a whi&kj bottle. My loss is not a dead loss, tor I have saved the hole, and in an emergency I Gin crawl into it. But t he loss to science by the untimely resuscitation of my fossil is irreparable. II. S. m a m The Victory ia ew York What the Democracy will Do. Aluany, N. Y., Nov. 6th. Goveknot. Hoffm an, last night, in the course of his speech in response to a serenade by the Jacksonians, said : "I notice that most of the Radical papers in Albany and New York an- asking: 'What will they do with it that is with the victory. I am hardly disposed to tell them just yet ; I prefer to give them a little time to digest the returns, and when these are fully digested we propose to give them some information as to what we will do with it. In my observation I have found that knowledge suddenly acquired is never very profitable ; but I will tell them in general terms one or two things we propose to do. We propose to make the Legislature of the State of New York honest, and that is what they have not done in some time. We propose to use the Legislator for the purpose of promoting the interests of the mass ot the people, and not the interests of the few, which the Radicals hare not done in a long time. The ttmm Journal has stated that, for many years, there have been a few men in Republican Legislatures who could be bought. We will show them that, in a Democratic Legislature, there will be none of that kind. YVe propose to give to the people of the State of New York, all over, the right of self-government. We propose to abolish such laws as infringe upon the rights of localities, and secure to them the right to govern themselves. We will not abolish such laws and give the people something worse, but will give them better laws. We propose to make the State ot New York, and the government in all its branches, thoroughly Democratic. I am aware of the responsibilities this victory imposes. I am aware ot the rcsponsibili ties it imposes upon me, as Excutive of this State. I realize their magnitude, and I will not say I have no fear of them ; but by the help of the people and their representatives, and all the government'counsel I can get, I hope in my sphere so to discharge its duties that the people will approve my action. I believe the Legislature which is about to assemble and legislate upon the affairs of this great State will act with inch wisdom and discretion as to show the people of the State and country that the Democracy of the State can be as moderate in th:ir hour of victory as they have been patient in their hour of defeat. We will be discreet and tolerant ; we will recognize honest men among our adversaries. We will deal justly, act honorably and promote the great interests of the people of the Stale of New York that have demanded and worked a change." A recent number of the York (Eng.) PoH contains the following remarks, equally applicable to the sportsmen of nil countries : " A parting word in regard to aecfdentl in the shooting field. Breechloaders be it remembered, do, to s-.in' extent, reduce the risk of a man's shooting himself. But they don't in the least affect the chance of his shooting other people. And, even as far as the first danger is concerned, the advantage gained is not practically much, for the greater safety of the breech-loader lies only' in the greater safety of loading it. And of all the accidents that occur, how many happen during the process of loading? That more do not is wonderful, weadmit. But still they do not. And, indeed, we cannot at this moment call to mind a single instance. Such being the case, we must assume both breech h aters ami muzzle -loaders to be on equality with regard to safety. And our ,'ulvic' to young sportsmen is to imitate Mr. Trupman, and to carry their guns as if they were afraid of them. In other words, to look upon a gun as a species of wild bene! .'whose dangen us, savage nature may break out at any moment, and against which nothing can secure you but sleepless vigilance. As a beast will turn and rend you ; as a bull will turn and gore you ; so will a gun go off and kill you; and you cannot tell the provocation in the one case anymore than in the others. The only plan is tobe always upon your guard, and to take care that if your gun does ex plode, it is in such position as to hurt neither yourself nor your companions. The conceited idea that an accidental ex plosion is the mark of a buneler has been the source of more fatal accidents than we care to enumerate." A ras3enger on a New England rail road, the other day, presented to the conductor a pass for himself "and a corpse." The conductor looked at the man s com panion, who was sitting bolt upright, and looking very red in the face for a dead man, and the passenger thereupon explained that he took a corpse with him from Beaton, and as he had none to tiring back he thought the road would be quite as willing to carry a live man, and he took his brother with him. The conductor passed on. m a At Adrian, Mich., a lady partially filled a lamp with kerosene oil, a I w mornings ago, placed It ou a shelf, under a chimney, in a room in which there was at .11 a a m. r no tire. About aara, without any tire having fieen near the lamp.it explode, doing oonelderable damage to the furniture, and it waj only by great exertions that the house was saved.

Punch knows a young man so lazy that he will not labor under an impression. TnE Independent says : 44 There is said to be a ragged school in London in which, in order to retain the scholars at all, the teachers are compelled to let them out in time to pick the pockets of the people on their way home from church." A countryman applied to a lawyer for legal advice. After detailing the circumstances of the case, he was asked if he had stated the facts as they had occurred. ,4Oh, aye, sir," rejoined he, "I thought it better to tell you the plain truth ; you can put the lies to it yourself." It is related that a Chinaman in order to cure a sick son, offered up various things to a certain wooden idol, and, as the son died the father commenced suit in the court against the idol, and a judgment of the court had the "fellow's" .head cut off. As the sun in all its splendor was peeping over the eastern hills a newly married man exclaimed, "The glory of the world is rising!"

Tue following announcement appeared in the San Francisco 'Times: 41 The gentle man who took, by mistake, a quantity of garden hose from a residence on (jreary street, near Gough, is requested by the owner to call and get the nozzle, as the hose can be of no material use without it. He will find it under the kitchen table if not there, it will be found in the front en trance, and right above it hangs a fine hat." (ieueral Butler in Distress. At about 8 o'clock yesterday morning Major General Butler appeared in the Astor House, wearing a porter's coat and looking very seedy about the shoulders. He was met in the corridors by General William Merriam, the great adjective war correspondent, and in Dutch Gap times an intimate friend of the General. Merriam beheld Butler with astonishment. The General had a small satchel and wore an expensive pair of black doeskin browsers, a beautiful velvet vest, the finest of linen, an exquisite cravat, and a pair of bixts of the finest French calfskin. But the coal was a curiosity. It was threadbare and ragged. It had evidently seen some years' service. A huge brass badge was sewn on its left lappeL the lctrcnd, 44 Foster, .No 49," was engraved upon it. The coat was covered with dust, and had a patch of leather upon each shoulder. General Butler looked at General Mer riam as T overpressed with a weight of woe. General Merriam gazed at him sev eral seconds, seemingly unable to trust his eyesight. Then he seized the Major Gen eral warmly by the hand, savins : 44 By my Parian and intellectual brow, you are the world renowned warrior whose ferruginous executive ability, so graphically described by Fanny Fern's immortal husband, has given you the most .rrandiloquent pre-eminence among the statesmen of Massachusetts." General Butler dropped his satchel, and plaeed his kidded hands in the pocket of the porter's roundabout. Then casting ene eye upon his satchel, and throwing the gaze of the other eye into Men lam's blue orbs, he said : 44 Lend me $100. I want to buy an undercoat and an overcoat, and I want to get back to Boston." General Merriam started back as if struck by a club, and looked at Butler as if he doubted his identity. At this moment an elderly gentleman approached General Butler, tapped him on the shoulder with a silver headed cane, and, pointing to an immense trunk near the head of the stair-, said : M Here, my fine fellow, hoist that trunk up to 147 for me rieht, away, and be quick about it, will you? General Merriam at this sprancr forward. and threw several profane adjectives at the gentleman for insulting General Butler. The old gentleman, who was hard of hearing, wanted to know what in the world the butler of the hotel was doing with a porter's badge, and why he carried leathern chips upon Iiis sJ ouhlers, il it wasn t to keep the trunks li m cutting Iiis collar-bone. General Butler looked troubled, but Merriam shouted an explanation at the top of his voice, and me vener able gentleman, after an apology, sought a naggage-smasner elsewhere. A second time General Butler asked his friend Merriam for the loan of a hundred dollars, promising to refund it on his re turn to Boston. He said that his coat and overcoat had been stolen from the sleept 1 i . . . - 1 . ! 1 I ' from Washington to this citv. He tlwm carried his money in his coat pocket. neu ne got up in the morning he found himself destitute. He borrowed a coat from a negro porter and walked up to the Astor, hoping to meet some friend that woidd advance him nionev to buy a coat and to reach Lowell. General Merriam told him he thought he ought to know better than to endeaver to borrow money from a newsnaner writer ami advised him to apply to the Stetsons for a loan, lie saiu lie had lost $800 in money besides a number of checks, payment of which has been stopped. By this time a number of persons had gathered about the General. A dozen gentlemen ottered money, and one man advised Stetson to lenk up his spoons. The General gratefully accepted the loan of $150 from a person wearing a pair of cracked eye-glasses. Then turning to General Merriam, he handed him' two fifty-dollar bills, and asked him to hunt him up a coat and overcoat. As it was Sunday, General Merriam struck out for Chatham street. He returned within a half hour with a black frock coat and a dirty white overcoat, a companion to the one worn by Horace Greeley, for which he paid $75. The coat was a little tight under the arms, and the overcoat had a slight attack of the Grecian bend. With these exceptions, the General expressed himself as satisfied. After warming himself and making a few inquiries ol.i,nl lw. fULI T! 1 13 . .. . L mmj vioiu iving, ne visiteu ft.

L One of the celebrated authors of Paris is so stingy that, whenever he sees fresh oysters advertised in one of the daily Paris papers, ne sends his servant to get samples for him. In this manner the old miser has managed to eat superior oysters au me lime witnout ever paying a cent for them. The other dav he sent annin to a dealer, to whom he had applied at least twenty times, and who had sent him at least four dozen of oysters as samples, without ever selling any to him. At last the dealer had discovered the stratairein of the penurious old gourmand. Inntead of sending, therefore, the Dvetei Humph s, as requested, he coolly handed the servant one of the shells, and said: "T ll your master that they are of this ehtej BO to quality, they are as good as the MUnpkn he got before."

Homesickness.

We are accustomed to consider M home sickness" as a transitory sentiment, that fades away among novel scenes and fresh acquaintance ; and such it is with most. To those who have been educated anion? tli j associates of large communities. whose minds s.re under tho constant in fluence of changing scenes and faces, the love of home does not appeal with the force that it exercises upon individuals brought closely into contact with Nature and less with man. The citizen soldier, sent on long campaigns, never sickens with nostalgia. The country conscript or recruit is almost invariably subject to it, and in degree according to individual temperament. Soldiers and sailors as classes arc more generally observed to suffer under malignant forms of this complaint than any others j and this is owing, in a great measure, to the monotony of their d iily lives, to the unpalatable restraint under which they are held, and to the character of their probable future, which is unfavorable to a speedy return to the associations and scenes whose absence they regret. Among these classes of men the deplorable effects of nostalgia are, unfortunately.not confined to individual cases. Frequently it takes an epidemic form, and, spreading with the rapidity and virulence of cholera, or the plague, a whole company or a crew will become demoralized. sink iuto utter inaction and depression, or become insubordinate and mutinous. To guard against such melancholy results it nas teen tound necessary, in the French army at least, to trive orders. issuing from the highest authority, that any eonscnpi suiienng under a marked and serious attack of maUulie du pays shall be returned to his home for cure. There have been cases known, among the slaves in the West India Islands, of this disease assuming an epidemic form, and numbers of the unfortunate victims have hung themselves in community of despair, to the branches of trees surrounding the plantation. And, after all, why should it seem surprising ! 1 1J 1 a rrtt .' nun im-.-sc Illings snoillU OCT mere IS certainly no more powerful influence ex ercised over the thoughts and actions of mankind than habit and what habit so potent as the constant presence of the scenes and surroundings of home ? Even the lower animals are subservient to this great law. The deer, pursued bv the hunter, circles round his accustomed locality, returning with undeviating accuracy, though with uncertain and faltering steps, to die in the presence of the scenes with winch he is familiar. The tiger, wounded at a distance from his lair, will drag his bleeding body while life lasts, that he liiav vicld it finallv in his native famU y - j . v j The domestic cat will toil over wearv miles of dusty road to seek the home to which it is accustomed. Throw a crab upon the sandy beach, and instinct teaches it the way to the sea. Thoughtful consideration may find similitude between these phenomena and the impulse that leads the murderer to the scene of his crime. Indeed, they are all to be referred to the influence of impressions upon the brain. The stronger and more fixed the impression, the more determined the habit or impulse, and the more marked and injurious the result of its derangement. Thus the change from gr ind and conspicuous aspects of Nature to the monotony of scenes less varied in their features cannot but have an immediate a. ul depressing influence upon the mind. A young man from Bale, far from his native land, fell into a profound melancholy, accompanied with sleeplessness, lo.s of appetite, and general lassitude, which aoon deranged his health, and he became in a dangerous condition. Left alone with servant-, they imagined that he was moribund, and proceeded! to read over him the prajen for the dying. Ashestill lived, however, they sent for a physician, fbr fomVl sake, who, recognizing the symtoms of nostalgia, proposed at once the removal of the young man to his home. The mere suggestion had a reviving effect, and the patient did not cease from that moment to grow stronger, until he was able to depart for his native land, where his cure was effectually completed. Apj HfM Journal. A Servant's Revenge. A DISTnnsarjfO story of a "servant's revenge comes from a ouiet part of Berkshire, England. Lieutenant Colonel Hickie had a nurse In his family named Elisabeth Barry. She was discharged from his service, and threatened to have her revenge. ne day during the absence of Colonel Ilickie and his wife, the nurse disappeared, taking With her her employer's youngest child, a girl of 17 months old. The parents were thrown into a dreadful state of grief as night came on and their child was not brought back. From that day no tidings have been heard of none or child. The detectives were set to work, but Colonel Ilickie writes to the papers to enlist " the sympathy and help of the millions of self-made detectives who may be found in the fathers and mothers of England. They alone can conceive the awful agony we suffer as one sad day after another passes away, and our hopes of seeing our dear child are still deferred." In case the woman m ty have escaped to this country, we append the Colonel's description of his child : " The distinctive mark on her face, the mole on the right side of her upper lip, the peculiar blue vein (a birth mark) under the left eye of our child, and the deepdimple on hereh'n, all lead us to hope for a speedy recovery of our lost one, it we could only secure the eyes and the hearts that would watch for her everywhere. To these, as our last, our highest hope, under God, a bereaved father and mother now appeal, ;uid wait in deep suspense the result." Heroism of a Boy. A kesidknt of Knight's Landingsends us the following account of an act of juvenile heroism : On Saturday last two men went to the farm of Philip Prather, on the Sacramento river, about two miles above Knight's Landing, and finding only a small boy at the house (a son of Prather's), who, upon seeing strangers approach, went into the house and locked the door. The nu n demanded admittance, and thrcananed to kill him if he did not open the door and give them what money was in the house. The boy went up stair, ostensibly to get the money, but Instead he brought down a loaded rifle and told them to leave or he would shoot. One of the men told him he could not do it, and they then attempted to break in the door with ctab, when the boy aimed at the larger of the two, through the window, and shot. The result " he docs not know as the fellow halloed and ran away. The boy thinks he hit his man a center shot. The little fellow is only 11 years old, and hht mother was at Knight's Land ing wading. Mr. Frather is at present in tho East. The boy deserves credit for his heroism. WotKllaml, OJ., Democrat. m .

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC A Minnesota eorrospondont of the Western Rural thinks it better to break prairie sod in June than sooner or later. TnE Oermantown leltnraph thinks tha', hogs will probably fatten faster on boil A potatoes mixed with half the quantity of bran and double the quantity of corn, than upon any other food. Sour Bread. The American Agriculturist recommends that sour bread should be sliced as soon as stale enongh and thoroughly dried, when it can be used In making baked or boiled bread puddings, griddle cakes, etc. Coffee Cake. One rup of coffee left from breakfast, two do. of butter, one do. of sugar, one do. of molasses, one teaspoonful of soda (to be dissolved in the coffee), one cup of raisins, one teaspoon of all kinds of spices ; flour enough so that the fruit will not settle. One egg is an improvement. An excellent material for uniting water pipes is prepared by combining four parts of good Portland cement and one part of unslaked lime, mixed together in small portions in a stout mortarj adding enough water to permit it to be reduced to a soft paste. Pipes thus united have been in use more than six years without any leak. A Swiss dairyman of Lowville, K. Y., says, in the Rural New Yorker, tiiat cows should be salted every morning, and if in the stable, before foddering, but never after taking water. This is "the practice of the best stock-keepers in Switzerland, and hejthinks much preferable to salting them once or twice a week, or to keeping it constantly within their reach. Pudding Sauce. One quar of boiling water, 4 large tablespoonfuls of white or light brown sugar, 2 do. of flour, 1 do. of butter, 1 teaspoonful of salt, nutmeg or cinnamon to taste. Two tablespoonfuls of currant or blackberry wine are a great improvement. Bo;' the whole together for 10 minutes. Mix the flour with a portion of cold water before adding it to the boiling water. To Keep Cattle Free from Lice. Water in which potatoes have been boiled possesses a pofcon fatal to lice. Dip into it a large sponge or woolen cloth, and wash the cattle freely, choosing a sonny, warm day for the operation, and as their hides dry, comb them with a currycomb, and see for yourself the effects of the water. In England, cattle of all kinds are curried, as well as horses, and they are improved in flesh and health by the operation. Irishmen always curry their pet cc W8, ami ineir nair is siceic and soft. Poisonous Potatoes. The sprouts of the potato contain an alkaloid, termed by chemists solanine, which is very poisonous, "f taken into the system. This alkaloid does not exist in the potato itself, miles0 it. has been exposed to the light and air during its growth, by which it takes a blackish-green color, upon tho exposed sides. Potatoes presenting such an appearance should never be cooked or fed to stock they are poisonous to both man and beast. Exchange. A very pretty mantle ornament may be obtained by suspending an acorn, by a piece of thread tied around it, within half an inch of the surface of some water contained .in a vase, tumbler, or saucer, and allowing it to remain undisturbed for several weeks. It will soon burst open, and small roots will seek the water; a straight and tapering stem, with beautiful glossy, green leaves will shoot upward, and present a very pleasing appearance. Chestnut trees may be grown in this manner, but their leaves are not as beautiful as those of the oak. The water should be changed once a month, taking care to supply water of the same warmth ; bits of charcoal added to it will prevent the water from souring. If the little leaves turn yellow, add one drop of ammonia into the utensil which holds the water, and it will renew its luxuriance. Lettuce and spinach can be rai-i I nearly a month earlier by planting the seeds late in the autumn, and covering them an inch. Make your beds rich with lien or barn-yard manure for lettuce and spinach ; the latter is said to be the best test of the richness of the land it must be well fed to flourish. Cover the beds with leaves, straw, or hemlock -boughs, and, if possible, place boards over them to retain the coverings. In April, remove the ninbish, and your plants will soon flourish. The careful observer will re member how often lettuce and spinach come forward early in the spring from having sown themselves the previous autumn. Last year several onions were left in the ground unwittingly. They sprang up in April, producing tine potato-onions very early. We are now saving onion-eeed from roots which lived over the winter. A potato was planted on a rose-root, to keep in the sap; it flourished through the summer unmolested. In the spring, fresh potato s were found in the ground, and they are growing now. Lettuce and spinach are hardy, and the early frosts will not injure them. Hearth and jftjir How to Unhitch a Team. Tbere is always a right way to do every thing, and the right way to unhitch a team is that which is the quiekest and sätest. We have often noticed farm boys, and not on!' farm boys but men, disconnect a team from a wairon in a very unsafe manner; some thing as follows : The driver springs from the wagon, goes to the sides of the horses, puts up the lines, unbuekles them at the bits, lets down the neck-yoke, unhitches the tugs and leads the horses away disconnected. Now this mode is very common, nnrt very risky. Let us notice why. In the first place, as soon as the lines are put up you have lost your means of control, as soon as the pole is down your horses are in peril. Supposing they should take fright, which is common to the most quiet animals, the re still of a team running with only the tugs hitched can be imagined. We have cases in mind where horses have med away with maddened fury in exactly this condition. The pole plowing the ground, and at every plunge ot the frenzied animals, the wagon striking on their heels, frightening them to desperation. Now the right way, or a good way at least, is to keep the lines in hand or where they can be reached until t he tugs are all fen hitched, then your team is free from the WBgon unless a station .ry neck yoke is used; next go directly in front ot the horses and ict down the neck-yoke ; and after this separate them as convenient. Ohio Farmer. i Fattening Swine. It is a matter o " considerable importance to tiie farmer to know in what way he should feed his fattening hogs so as to obtain the greatest amount of valuable pork lor the least expenditure in the matter of food. When we use the term valuable, we mean the pork that will be in all respects fit for the eurer, and therefore bring the highest price in the market; for it would be no difficult matter to make exceedingly fat pork at very little cost, by feeding on beechnuts, slaughter-house refuse, or other matters that would be good enoutrh tor the pig, but bad for the person who had to eat him, after he is made into pork. Canadian farmers rely much npon peas, of which they raise considerable quantities, to fatten up their spare hogs into pork, and very good they are for the pnrpoM perhhps the best of any single arti cle that can le named to make really good pork. Hut as peas are highly nitro genous (flesh-forming), containing gluten while Indian corn or barley are more carbonaceous (fat and heat forming) containing starch and sugar, a mixture of pens with either liarley or corn, both ground together into meal, will he found to fatten the animals quicker and at less expense t ban where only one of the articles had been used. It will be seen that peas are the most desirable for the hog when it is first put up to fatten, as on them it will gain rapidly in weight, by filling up flesh on its bones, especially the hams, but once the hog has become well tilled ami solid, the fattening procesr. would be greatly expedited by iisimr con or barley meal. It will seareely be credited how inueh is gained by cooking I he fixMlof fatting bJSj and if that eanilot well be done, Ute food may be greatly improved by being soaked in milk or water, whether it be first ground or used whole. Hy so doing, if the soak

ing process continues long enough the foot! will become fermented, and then the animals will eat more of it, and fatten more rapidly than on the raw article. English termers not only feed their hogs a variety of food, but have it cooked, or loejraa tiil fermented, and finish up by giving raw meal for the last few days to harden up the fat. A writer in the Country (Gentleman states that he tried the experiment of feeding on raw whole corn and on , corn ground and boiled, and as the result of his 'experiment, he foun t that every pound of pork made with the raw food cost 22 cents, while every pound made by feeding cooked meal cost but 44 cents. At the present prices of pork, and with the facilities our large curing establishments have for carrying on their business, there is no necessity for the farmer to delay fattening up his hogs till the cold weather sets in ; and when it is considered how much food is necessarily wasted to generate and maintain the animal heat in cold weather, it becomes apparent that the earlier in the fall he can fatten up and market his hogs, the more profit he can make out of the operation, provided they have attained a sufficient growth to make good solid pork. Very large hogs are not so much in favor with the cure rs as formerly. They will trive as much for medium sizes, ranging from 175 to :J00 lbs. each. Another point should not be forgotten, and that is, that the hog can only be profitahly fed up to a certain point that is, it will only pay to continue the fattening process so long as the animal will eat enough to lay on tlesh and fat rapidly. When that point is reached nothing is gained by going further, and the eurer should have it then. If the farmer live near enough, he will find it pay better to sell his fat hogs alive to the eurer, than kill them himself. Canada Farm. r.
