Successive changes of daily wages from twopsssea to lanrpewee, sixpenee, aijrhtpence, and a shilling, marked the progress of his promotion. One Saturday evening, vvhi n he was titt ea years aid, hi wages were advancd to twelve shillings a week.

Close in front of the cottage wherr he ami l.orn was a wooden tram-road worked by horses. Thus naturally his mind was drawn to the use of stoanvp wer fer tract n. Many experiments were made about 1812 and 1913 in this direction. One of them was the reaaarkable expedient of s ' M chani' al Travell' r' to go Kpeaj leja working alternately like those of a horse. It was never fairly tried ; for the driver, on its first trial, put on too much steam, burst the boiicr, and killed several spectators, besides wounding more. Inl82-"ttic Wv'.un Railroad ;ts dis tinguished fr its progress. It was in Ine county where George Stephenson was at i work "managing machinery at coal mines, j and anxiously studying locomotion by BtejjB.

One great difficulty Stephenson encountered was the want of sUilliil ineehauic. In inarkiog the progress since made in the change in thi- respect is a saost buportant point. One day, is L14, workman BUmed into Stephenson's cottage, eaebuming that the deepest main in the colliery was on tire' Women and children were running about) wildness and terror depicted in every face. In a commanding voice StepheBflOa ordered the engine man to lower him down the shaft. There was danger it might be death before him, but he must go. The men in the pit were paralyzed with fear. Lea pint; trom the cage as soon as it touched the ground, he ailed out, "Are there six men among yon who haw the courage to follow me! If so, conic on and WC wU! put the lire out." Th y readily volunteered. Suddenly silence succeeded to frantic tumult; the men set to work with a will. Brick, mortar and tools were at hand, and in a short time a wall was raised at tic entrance to the main, Btephenson himsell taking a most active part in the work. Thus the ai mospherii air was excluded, the lire was extinguished, most if not all the people in the pit were saved from death, and the mint! was preserved. A few days :t tier wards the cause of the accident was discovered. Robert lb ppel, out.- of the men who had put out the tire, and Stephenson, were in the mine search big irr the bodies of Use killed, and Heppel aikcd, 44 C ID nothing be done to prevent such awful occurences ?"' fdtephenson repli d that he thought something might b done. '"Then,'' said Heppel, "the soon, r you begin Use butter, tot the price of c; :! mi. .big now is pitmen's lives." k t hut time many of the best pi's were so dangi roii fr m iuftunawbl s gas that they were altogether abandoned. Kven the pfaaiphorcscence of decayed fish-skins eras tiitl as aa expedient ; and the asost oonunon method of girhtg light to the mim r at work was to employ a boy who Worked what was called a sUoel mill, the notched-wheels i which re a Hint served to make the i ol ring against darkness vi.-i hie. Sir Humphrey Davy, then in full .enth of his tame, wai requested 1o turn Iiis at-1 teiiiion to the subject, and read brfcee the .

His companions hung back and retired out d sight ol the lamp, whh a gradually disappeared with its "nearer on the resses in the mine. Btephenson advanced along with bis yet untried btntn in th' depth- ol those anderLTound workings, cahnly venturing his life ia the determination to discover a mode by which the lives of many might be saved, and death disarmed in these filial caverns, presenting an example of intrepid nerve and manly courage more noMc even than that which In the excitement of battle and thr collective impctQ osity ol a charge carries a man up o tb cannon's moot h.

t . rant on Estimates.

The speech'of Mr. Dawes, on the extrav- K agant estimates ot the aUministration tor the next fiscal year, has been so generally and earnestly commended by the Renublican press, that Congress will hardly presume to vote the appropriations for which the heads of the different departments have asked. So far as the public Interests are concerned, the assaults made on Mr. Dawes by Butler and the Republican del egation m the House troru rcnusyivania have been productive of much good. They mm have nroToked Mr. Dawes to a luiter statement than he would otherwise have : made, and to such a verification ol his i facts as leaves no doubt of the general cor1 redness of bJfl position. The great point of interest in his speeches is that our expenditures are increasing, and that if all the appropriations asked for by the administration be made, the , Increase for the next fiscal year will be more than 43,O00;O0O. For these estimates the President and Cabinet must be held n sponsible. If Congress cuts them down it will be against the wishes aud protests 1 of Grant and his secretaries. Mr. Dawes says the Committee on Appropriations has worked lor weeks with the heads oi tin different departments, revising estimates and seeking to gain a reduction, and have obtained no satiflaetioii. lie hail hut two courses before him. One was to permit the enormous estimates to go anohallcngad, and the bearily-burdened tax-payers to he subject ed to still irreater extortions and nlundering; and another was to bring the matter fully before the Ilousc.and exT I nose Uli' mit unv. For this ei oosure, and the manly stand he has taken, he has incurred the ill-will of Grant and the Cabinet For this, be has been beset by Uutler and Ida follower? In the House, and by the servile crea ture Forney through the administration newspaper craii in Washington. For ney, speaking lor Grant through the ad ministration newspaper ornan, lias tie nonnced .Mr. Dawes as renejmde Repub lican, and has accused him ot deliberate falsehood, and attempted to read him out of the party. Uutler charged him with making an assault on the Administration, and with dealing a heavy blow ;;t the party. Says Uutler, pathetically : "We are smitten in the house of our friends." The relations between Urant, and Uutler, and Forney do not admit of a doubt licit th.-latter speak for Grant. In their assaults upon Dawes, they derive their inipirationa from the President He directs Porney to inveigh in the Chronicle, ami he tells Butler to bully Dawes in the House. The latter made an effort to apologize for Grunt in his latest speech, but the facts stated by him killed the attempt, lie says, in substanoa, that he want with the esünuth s to Qrant, and pointed out to him the irreal increase in expenditure they would involve, and that uiant protcsseo a desire to cut down expensea and intro duce retrenchment and economy. He mid he hail looked into tin estimates of the War Department, and thought he knew what liny ought to be, and that they were cut down to the lowest point This is a emglar statement f or a Presi ' dent of the United States to make on such a subject. It is, in fact, a omlession of Incapacity t. judge properly of the buoi 1 neasof the other departments, and an ac knowledgment that he had not examined their ristimstrn He had examined those I of the War Department, because he thought he could jodge intelligently oon oerninc them, and s;ihl thee were as lowas they could he. His in gen uoos con fession of Ignorance of matters with which it is his business to he thoroughly acquainted, was, as the speecb ! of Mr. Dawes proved, but little more dis creditable to him than his assumption ot knowledge concerning the estimates ol the only department which bad come under his supervision. Mr. Dawes says there j are to-day lire bttmlred oficen oil" duty more than are necessary supernumera ries. I ne pay oi ineseomcers amounts to $1,950000 i year. Wti Grant ignorant of thai bet I Is one and a quarter million dollars so inaignitteant a sum tliat it is not north sarini to Um Utx-pnyent Uenyi eatimatus oTthe War Departaaeat have been revised by him and -ut down tothc lowesi point, and Mr Dawei polnta out a Bingle item where more than n million dollars can be saved. Was it not the duty oi tue i reaniem io recnumemi inai tnosc oflleera lc mustered out, that the country might be spared the expense of their maintenaiicc ? A irent aaaay of thi snpernnnsevaries are doing duty as civilians, and on afofl day a rcaolotloB Wafl introduced in Con gress req oiling information as to whether, in addition to" their army pay, they re ceived pay as civil officers. Five band red army officers drang dtitj as civilians can wield an amount of political influence which wiil tell heavily on the political fortunes of a poliUcal party, or the fortunes of an individual. Will the Republican newspapers w hich have saatalned .Mr. Dawes rebnke the adtninistration tat Ha extravagant and cor rapt estimates, and rebnke tirant bv directing Butler and Forney to assail Dawes at h traitor to bis party.

So long as Rome maintained the autonomy of the States or Colonies, the people were com paratively free. Wben the dividing lines were broken, despotism was supreme and so it will be with us. Rapacity and corruption were the great Roman crimes, and it is the same with us. The old Praeto rian Guard was hu incident of civil war, and the military satraps of the South have been the fruits ot the same sad pre cedent. 1 ho old Northern tribes were taught by Rome that the gates of Wal halla were torever open to the warriors who presented themselves stained with the blood of their vanquished enemies. 1 hese, we reau, were converted into Christianity, but carried their old feelings into their new creeds.

I The Weitem Rural thinks the first thing to be seen to in setting an orchard or improving one already set, is to have the soil thoroughly drained. Drains may be made in the center ,of the spaces between the rows. A coiikesi'onpent of the Offttntrjf Hentlnihin finds that one bushel of cut cornstalks will be eaten clean by each of his cows, whereas each would eat parts of aud waste the remainder of four bushels uncut.

A correspondent of the Western Ru rjl thinks that the ground is the best bed for hogs, as he thinks it warm enough, and a valuable disinfectant.

Many persons, in preparing potatoes for cookina. pare off a thick slice from the surlace. I'rolessor Blot in his lecture on - wr the potato, says the skinning process is all wrong, as the strength of the vegetable lies near the surface the starch growing leas abundant as the center is approxi mated. The starch near the surface contains the nutriment, which is not more than seven or eitrlit per cent., the balance being merely wuter. To Hf.ai tiky tiitc Tretii.

Lx Tm successful management of a farm, especially in this age of progress, requires thought not less than hard work, (some thing more needs to be done than scatter the seed and reap the harvest. What to plant, in erder to be tolerably certain to obtain a good price for the product ; in what soil, as to quality and rotation of crops; and just when to cultivate, and with what implements, to secure the best results all these things need to be considered. The comparative leisure of winter is ths best time to think of these questions. Now is the time to la3' ont the spring campaign, and to prepare the means for prosecuting it rigorously. CincinnaH Chronicle. How to Fatten Chickens. We make the following extracts from sn article on the subject in the London CW6ajM (tariff irr : It is hopeless to attempt to bitten them while they are at liberty. They must be put In a proper coop; and this, like most other poultry appurtenances, need not be expensive. To fatten twelve fowls, a coop may be three feet long, eighteen inches high, und eighteen inches deep, made entirely of bars, no part of it solid, neither top, nor bottom nor sides. Discretion liuisl be used according to the sizes of the i bickena put up. They mnst not want room; indeed, the closer the better, provided they can all stand up at the same time. Care must be taken to put up such as have been accustomed to be together, or they will light. If one is quarrelsome it is better to remove it at once, or like other bad examples, it soon finds imitators. A diseased chicken should not he put up. The food should lie ground oats, and may either 1m- put up in a trough, or on a flat board running along the front of the coop. It may be mixed with water or mild, the latter is the best. It should be well soaked, forming a pulp as loose as can be, provided it does not run off the board. Tiny must be well fed three or lour times per day, the first time as soon after day break SS may be possible or convenient, and then at intervals of four hours. Each meal should be as much and no more than they can eat up clean. When they have done eating the board should be wiped and some Travel may lie spread on it. It causes them to feed ami thrive. After a fortnight of this treatment you will have good fat fowls. If, however, there are but five or six to be fatted, they must aot have so much room as though there were twelve. Nothing is easier than to allot them the proper Space, as it is only necessary to have two or three pieces of wood to pass between the bars ami form a partition. This may also serve when fowls are put up at different degrees of fatness. This requires attention, or fowls will not keep fat and healthy. As soon as the fowl is sufllciently fatted it should be killed, otherwise it will still get fat, but will lose flesh. If fowds are intended for the market, of course they arc. or mav lie all fatted at once ; but if for home consumption, then it is Iretter to put them up at such intervals as w ill best suit the time when they will be required for the tahle. When the time arrives for killing, Whether they are- meant for market or otherwise, tLey should be lasted without food or water lor 12 or 15 hours. This enables them to be kept for some time alter being killed, even in hot weather. Facts in Stock Raiting. Many farmers say it does not pay to keep stock, and in point of lact, they are very often in the right. I can hardly see liow it pays to keep a wether sheep three years and six months, getting say 7 for the three fleeces, and then selling him for $:t. Hut I think it must be Quite aa profit able as to keep a steer the same lcii'dh of time nnd then sell hiss for a.0. Such a steer will eat as much as eight or ten Merino sheep. Hut the truth is, we cannot expect to make anything hy keeping stock of any kind unless we keep it well ; it must be gaining all the time. If we let a machine lie idle, all that wo lohe is the interest on the money which it coat But an animal cannot he kept idle. It must cat every day ; snd if it gains nothing we lose all the food and the inter est on the value of the animal machine besides. Hut many farmers not onlj k ep them for weeks and month;! together without their gaining anything, but it not tin frequently happens that the animals actually decrease in weight It has to live on its own flesh and fat which is certainly a very expensive food. Even in the case of well feil pigs, which store up more hV.!i and fat for the food consumed than any other domestic animal: foi every pound of fleah ami fat we get in the animal, they eat about live pounds of food. They use four pounds to live on and give us one pound of flesh. And when wo have got this one pound, how excessively wasteful it is to feed it to the animal and have it worked over again; and yet this is pre ciscly what thousands of farmers are doing today with cows, iheeps and pigs. No wonder that " keeping stock does not pay.'' Hut good stock, fed liberally nnd with care and judgment, will pay belt, r, all things considered, than any Other branch of tanning. Good meat brings a good price, and is always in demand. It is the "Si alia wags' that are hard to dispose of, aud always at a loss a los to the producer and a hiss to the consumer. Those who buy such meat get little be sides Imihcs anil water. The poor animals have had to live on their own fat and their nutritious juices.

The first, step in keeping good stock is

to make the land dry and clean. The next is to feed liberally, and this will insure good manure, and that in its turn insures good crops. It is all very well to say that a "peck ot clover seed to the acre is the cheapest tcr tilizer," and that by its free use we can dispense with manure. 1 do not dispute the truth ot this proposition. No one thinks more highly of clover than I do. But it only tells half the story. Clover makes gooii food ana good manure too An animal will take out tho food, convert it into valuable products, and leave the manure behiud. Our aim should be dry, clean laud, more clover and rich grass. more and better stock and more and better manure. It cannot be too often repeated, how ever, that the value ot manure depends on the food and not on the animals. A rawboned steer, if it has the same food, will make as rich manure as the best Short horn in the herd-book ; and the droppings of a Merino pheep living on clover-hay ami eu-cake are just as valuable as those (rem a Cotswoid. Hut this is the point: We canr.ot feed c lover-hav and oil -cake to S Merino with half the profit that we can to a Cotswoid. 1 he former is adapted to live on comparative poor food and grow slowly; the l otswold has been bred with especial reference to rapid growth on rich fonO. So when we advocate keeping wellbred Block, in order to make rich manure, we do so lor tiie .simple reason thai we . i mm cannot afford to feed rich food to poor stock, and without rich tood wc cannot have rich manure. J. IIaukis, in Anuri can Aortcmiurt t. Treason to RariicaliMti. It would be difficult to name a party, ancient or modern, that has more of w hat is called " treason in it than the patrtotic and progressive party which calls itself Renublican. Every day there is a proc lamation of some new "traitor," who has deserted it. Sumner calls Trumbull a deserter; Kelly calls Commisioner Wells a deserter ; f utler calls Dawes a deserter, 1 11 111 1 1 A ami some is mv cans uinirham a (tesener It seems that to tell the truth, or to keep laitn in a soieian compact, to anulc Dy a fair bargain, to demand honesty and economy in administration to do anv of these things is considered " treason to the party, for these are precisely fhe offences ol Trumball, AVells, Dawes and Bingham. There are some Republicanwho arc aerer incused of this grave nary crin e whose standing in and loyalty to the party has never been called in quel tion. They arc Jlutler, and Drake, and Anu s, and Bullock, and Porter (he of the ball and chain), and Stokes (called in Tennessee the 14 Calf-Killer"), and Ashley, aud Babcoke. These patriots remain always true and steadfast to their party "faithful among the faithless found" while such irreclaimable reprobates as Dawes, Trumbull, Wells and Bingham are continually being denounced as deserters, who have "gone over" to the enemy. We once heard of a flourishing Sons of Temperance lodge that b( came so sadlv demoralized by the fall of so many of its members that when these backsliders were haulep up for trial they were found to out -num ber the faithful, and they turned the tables bv deliberately and formally expelling all the fititllfnj from the lodge. There are symptoms which indicate that the Republican party is rapidly approaching the same lamentable incoherence. Fidelity to principles w hose lruit is the cruel treatme nt of Georgia a n 1 1 he t rescuer ms t real ment of Virginia, the election of Ames to the United States Senate, and the subjec tion of State Legislatures t the sword of a military satrap, requires a larger share of bigotry, intolerance, cruelty and seltishncss than the bulk of mankind pnBesscs; and it is a notable fact that the better feelings of intelligent Radicals are continually dlspoeed to revolt against their party discipline and policy. Hitherto, the ignorant element of the party has managed to awe the intelligent clement into submission, hy violence and intimidation, but this cannot last mnch longer. The jusl minded of the party are beginning to dare think and -peak for themselves ; and, when the habit become-- a lit tie more general, Radicalism will find its power gone lorever.
