The question of xulflmtioii of tIM Fifttinlh AiboiidßMßi taddding the tome or negro suffrage at home, was directly submitted to the peo pie of New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Inland, and the people have ordered its ratification. The earn of Connecticut to a peculiarly strong one. Two years ago, aa amendment to the State Constitution, granting negro suffrage, was rejected. The State also elected three Represents tires to Congress, who voted against this Fifteenth Amendment to the National Constitution. One of the Senators voted the same way. But the people of Connectieot, however much they may have been opposed to establishing negro suffrage in their own State alone, were heartily in favor of makiDg it the law In aU the States. The Senator and one of the Representatives who voted against the Fifteenth Amendment were candidates before the people at the recent election, and they ana the Democratic State Government made that amendment the issue of the election. The people have not only elected a Legislature under instructions to ratify the amendment, but they have repudiated the Senator and Representative who voted in Congress against it. That to the way the people of Connecticut have answered the appeal made to them. The people of New Hampshire and Rhode Island have made the same answer, and the people of Indiana and of all the other States will do likewise. It is a remarkable fact that the strongest objection now held in the Southern States to negro suffrage is the fact that it is not secured in all the Stateeas well as in their own; and the Democracy of Indiana and the North generally are, by their opposition, but making the people of the South exceptions to a rule which ceases to be offensive to any when applied to all the States alike. —Chicafo Tribune.

A Brave and Noble Boy.

The New York Sun gives a brief chapter oh the “Heroism pf Humble Life,” and appends the following touching illustration : Perhaps the finest of these modern instances occurred two weeks ago on board an English steamer. A little ragged boy, aged about nine years, was discovered on the fourth day of the outward voyage from Liverpool to New York, and carried before the first mate, whose duty was to deal with such cases. When questioned as to the object of his being stowed away, and who brought him on board, the boy, who had a beautiful sunny face, and eyes that looked like the very mir rors of truth, replied that his step father did it, because he could not afl'jrd to keep him, nor to pay his passage out to Halifax, where he had an annt who was well off, and to whose house he was going. The mate did not believe the story, in spite of the winning face and truthful accents of the boy. He had seen*too much of stowaways to be easily deceived by them, he mid; and it was his firm conviction that the boy had been brought on board, and Sruvided w lth-fbodDy the MTldrs.' The ttle fellow was very roughly handled in consequence. Day by day he was questioned and requestioned, but always with the same result. He did not know a sailor on board, and bis father alone bad secreted him and given kirn the food which he ate. At last the mate,wearied by the boy’s persistence in the same story,and perhaps a little anxious to inculpate the sailors, seized him one day by the collar, and dragging him to the fore, told him that unless he confessed the truth in ten minutes from that time he would hang him on the yard arm. He then made him sit down under, it on the deck. All around him were the passengers and sailors of the mid-day watch, and in front of him stood the inexorable mate, with his chronometer in his hand, and the other officers of the ship by his side. It was the finest sight, said our informant, that we ever beheld, to see the pale, proud, sorrowful face of that noble boy—his head erect, his beautiful eyes bright through the tears that suffused them. When eight minutes had fled, the mate told him he had but two minutes to lire, and advised him to speak the truth and save his life, but he replied with the utmost simplicity and sincerity, by asking the mate if he.might pray. The mate said nothing, but nodded his head, and turned as pale as a ghost, and shook with trembling like a reed with the wind. And there, all eyes turned on him, this brave and noble little fellow, this poor waif whom society owned not, and whose 'own step-father could not care for him—there he knelt with clasped hands and eyes uplifted to heaven, while he repeated audibly the Lord’s Prayer, and prayed the dear Lord Jesus to take him »o heaven. Our informant adds that there then occurred a scene as of Pentecost Sobs broke from strong, hard hearts, as the mate sprang forward to the boy and clasped Him to his bosom, and kissed him and blessed him, and told him how sincerely he believed his story, and how glad he was that he had been brave enough to £aoe death and be willing to sacrifice his owa Mfe for the truth of his own word.

She was worth over £40,000, but was in the habif of denying herself tbs common accessaries of life. She kept one candle in the house, and whenever her nephew called, upow her to see hss,«he made it a rule to light it, but when he was going away she blew it out as it was her habit to sit la the dark.

A Genulne Snake Story .

Bnaeb stories, aa a rale, are so unlver sally incredible, that anyone who U bold enough to relate a marvelous one, not only subjects himself to the imputation of untruth, but even to public ridicule. The one that we row present comes so well attested that its credibility cannot be successfully qunation, d On last Sunday night. Dr. Dufllsld, of Hannibal, in thto State, was summoned to the bedside of a patient, upon whom he had been in attendance for several days, for measles, and npon his arrival the lady, who was a slender and delicate female, and who bad been in ill health for several years, complained of a “ choking in her throat.” and that she felt something moving, ana also said that the throat felt very sore. The drag store being dosed, the doctor ordered* s strong pepper tea made, and Sbm alum put in, with which to gargle. She used thto, and the choking increased, lie directed her to swallow some, thinking it was a worm, and having nothing st hand better, supposed thto would relieve her, by causing It to withdraw downward Into the stomach. The feeling yet lncreaaed, and as a placebo, until something better could be obtained, she was directed to eat sugar. In a moment or so, she said something was crawling upward, and she looked as though she would suffocate. She coughed violently, and Immediately a squirming, live reptile was ejected from the mouth, which, on examination, proved to be a water anake, about twelve or fourteen inches in length, and about % or % of an inch in diameter about the centre of the body. It was a yellow, mottled snake, with dark or black eyes, and its tongue darted out in a fearfully disgusting manner. It to supposed that at some time, when drinking from some branch or brook in Michigan, whence she had lately come, she unconsciously swallowed the hideous reptile, whilst it was very small. The woman, as stated, had suffered from 111 health for a year or more, and is now rapidly recovering.— Mitsouri Republican.

The Sleepiest Man in the World.

He is a Montanian, and a typo. We have known him frequently to drop into A' sound tonooze while standing at his case “distributing,” and with half a “take”of matter in hand. As a compositor, he usually takes s nap at the end of each sentence, (as often in the broad day aa any other time), to be aroused therefrom only by a sneeze from one of the boys, or from some other unusual sound. If not particularly hungry, or engaged in exciting conversation with the fellow opposite, he invariably sleeps between his courses, while at his meals. The other day, at noon, he started down the stairs of the office to goto his “ hash,” and after reaching the doorway leading to the street, he suddenly yielded to Morpheus, leaned up against the broad door jam, and enjoyed a profound nap, until some sound or jar awakened him, and, having dreamed that he had actually been to dinner and tarried longer than usual, drew forth his toothpick, and hurried up stairs again, where he nervously rubbed his hands, hastily finished picking his teeth, jerked off his coat, and went to work. All these thmgs we have seen ourself; but his room mates and intimate brother members of the craft tell us that on diverse occasions, after retiring to his room to go to bed, he would get off his hat, perhaps one boot, and while Contemplating the exertion necessary to finish the job of undressing would actually set to dozing, and be found next morning still sitting in his chair, with his legs crossed, arms folded, his head inclined to one side, and snoring like a porpoise.— Helena (Montana) Herald.

Canning sf the Fox.

A certain jagare, who was one morning keeping watch in the forest, saw a fox cautiously making his approach toward the stomp of an old tree. When suffl ciently near, he took a high and determined jump on to the top of it, and, after looking round awhile, hopped to the ground again. After Reynara had repeated this knightly exercise several times, he went his way, but presently returned to the spot bearing a pretty large and heavy piece of dry oak in his mouth, and thus burdened, and as it would seem for the purpose of testing his vaulting powers, he renewed his leaps on to the stump. After a time, however, and when.he found that, weighted as he was, he could make the ascent with facility, he desisted from further efforts, dropped the piece of wood from his mouth, and coiling himself upon the top of the stump, remained motionless as if dead. At the approach of evening, an old sow and her progeny, five or six in number, issued from a neighboring tbiciet, and, pursuing their usual track, passed near to the stump in question. Two of her sucklings followed somewhat behind the rest, and, just as they neared hto ambush, Michel, with the rapidity of thought, darted down from hto perch upon one of them, and in the twinkling of an eye bore it in triumph on to the fastness he had so providentially prepared beforehand. Confounded at the shrieks of her offspring, the old sow re turned in fury to the spot, and until late in the night made repeated desperate attempts to storm the murderer’s stronghold ; but the fox took the matter coolly, and devoured the pig under the very nose of its tnother. —Naturalitt in Norway.

Heads.

A SCHOOL BOV’S COMPOSITION. Hbads are of different shapes and different sizes. They are fall of notions. Large heads do not always hold the most Some -persons can tell just what a man is by the shape of his head. High heads are the best kind. Very knowing people are called long headed. A fellow that wen’t stop for anything or anybody is called hot-headed. If he isn’t quite so bright, they call him soft-headed; if he won’t be coaxed nor turned, they call him pig-head-ed. Animals have very small heads. The heads of fools slant back. When your head is cut off you are beheaded. Our heads are all covered with hair, except bald Heads. There are other kinds of heads besides our heads. First there are Barrel-heads. Second, there are Pinheads. Third, Heads of sermons—sometimes a minister used to have fifteen heads to one sermon. Fourth, Headwind. Fifth, Head of cattle—when a former reckons np his cows and oxen he calls them so many head of cattle Six. Drumheads—drumheads are made of sheepskin. Seventh, Heads or tails—when you toss up pennies. Eighth, Doublheaderß—when you let off rockets. Ninth, come to a head—libs a boil or a rebellion Tenth, Cabbageheads—dunces are called cabbageheads, and good enough for them. Eleventh, At Loggerheads —when you don’t agree. Twelfth.

Farm and Household.

. - The failure to raise good crops of wheat npon land long cultivated to not so often attributable to Indifferent seed aa to unfair cultivation. In most esses the soil has been robbed of the wheat producing properties, such as the phosphates, potash and other salts. Thto to true in a large degree of tbs wheat growing sections of the older States, where the soil has been so long drained of its substance that it is no longer possible to raise a heavy crop of wheat in the best season. On such lands farmers should apply bone dost, or soluble bone dust, or bone super phosphates and ashes to restore the potash. Lime should be used to gather carbonic add Lime deposited in large piles will collect carbonic acid from the air and beoome a better fertilizer. Lime should be applied with grass or other vegetable matter, upon which It acts chemically and produces plant food. It also corrects the sour acids in the soiL Borne fields need sulphuric add, which is supplied by sowing plaster Sown upon clover, plaster causes it to draw to it the ammonia from the air and water, and if the dover be plowed down when in full bloom and quick lime be used the clover to converted into plant food. The best fertilizer in the experience of the writer Is a compost of mack, barnyard manure and c]py, thoroughly decomposed and mixed with equal parte of lime, ashes, salt, plaster and bone phoapate. No soil except a virgin soil will fail to produce wheat with thto compound. It ahould be thoroughly mixed and screened, so that it can be drilled in with the wheat It should bo used in the fall, when the rain helps to decompose it and to enrich the surrounding soil, and when the grain roots are ready to take up the parts most needed for food for the wheat plant Plant roots do not permeate manures and take them hp until they are decomposed by the action of the moisture, and in times of great drought manures yield very little nourishment When the moisture penetrates the soil the roots of plants search for nourishment, and if the soil be loose they can penetrate the particles and gather it Vegetable manures contain a very small proportion of salts, and these must be supplied if the farmer wiahea to enrich the soil and raise large crops of grain.— Farm Journal.

The Effect of Charcoal on Flowers.

A correspondent of the Rmue Horticde says that not long ago he made a bargain for a rosebush of magnificent growth and full of buds. He waited for them to blow, and expected roses worthy of such a noble plant and of the praises bestowed upon it by the vender, but when it bloomed all hto hopes were blasted. The flowers were of a faded hue, and he discovered that he had only a middling mnltiflora, stale colored enough. He therefore resolved te sacrifice it to some experiments which he had in view. Hto atten tion had been directed to the effects of charcoal as stated in some English publications. He then covered the earth ia the pot in which the rosebush was about half an inch deep, with pulverized charcoal Borne days after he was astonished to see the rosea which bloomed of as fine a lively roseAsoloF as he could wish. He determined to repeat the experiment, and therefore when the rosebush had done flowering he took off the charcoal and put fresh earth about the roots and waited ior the next spring impatiently to see the result of this experiment. When it bloomed the roses were at first pale and discolored, but by applying the charcoal as before they soon assumed their rosy-red color; He then tried the powdered charcoal In large quantities upon petunias, and found that both the white and violet colored flowers were equally sensitive to its action. It always gave great vigor to the red or violet colors of the flowers, and the white petunias became veined with red or violet tints; the violets became covered with irregular spots of a blueiah or almost black tint. Many persons who admired them thought they were choice new varieties from the seed. Yellow flowers appear to be insensible to the influence of charco&L

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

It is said that if a sheep is kept fat the wool will be coarser than if kept only in moderate flesh. A hop grower in Massachusetts has proved that he can get more and better crops by setting one pole to a hill than two poles, as is generally practiced, A correspondent es the Gauntry Gentleman says every time a colt, a calf or . nt.lier ynnng animal feel* miaarahhyhnngry, cold or tired, a mark to a certain extent will be left on the general figure. At a recent meeting of an agricultural society in Pennsylvania, it waa resolved to set apart two hundred dollars toward a fund to be used in importing insect-destroying birds from Europe. The society extend an invitation to other societies to join them in thia enterprise. Ridding a Hennery of Lice.—Daniel Kemble, of Mount Holly, N. J., ia positive that “if you mix about a gill of gas-tar with a pail of whitewash, and apply it with a brush to all exposed surfaces, these pests of the roost will either die quickly, or go away very fast.” A writer recommends the following practice in feeding chickens: “For the first week after hatching, hard-boiled eggs, chopped fine, at least twice a day, wheat steeped in milk, and coarse Indian meal, bread crumbs, etc. A change of food is necessary twice a week, substituting cracked corn for wheat.” A writer in Hearth and Horn* has found the best way to take starch out of bleached goods to be as follows: “Make strong soap-suds, and dip the goods in it, and hang them out to dry without wringing. They will be perfectly soft and free from starch, and nice to work either by hand or machine.” Ants’ Nests in Hardens.— A correspondent informs the American Entomologist that by burying a few sliced onions m ants’ nests he has caused them to aban-, don their quarters. The same paper learns from horticulturists, that two or three tablespoonfuls of kerosene poured into the holes in their nesta will produce the same effect. A COEREBPOHDINT of the Rural World advices the application of pine—not*coal —tar too a brittle hoof, asserting that he has frequently applied it to' hard, diy and cracked hoofs with good success. It appears to penetrate and soften the hoof, gives .it a bright and clean look ;* also closes the cracks; would apply once or twice a month.

Broom Cor*.—A Chautauqua county correspondent states that a one-third greater yield, and that of better quality, would be produced if the hills were not more than twenty inches apart one way and three feet the other, instead of three or four feet each wav, as ia the general practice. Only eight stalks should be left in a hill, and the harvest should commence as soon aa the seed is frilly grown. : Staffordshire Pudding.— Line a shallow pie-dish with puff paste, and put raspberry-jam about an inch in depth, over the bottom; beat the yolks of four eggs and the white <tf one, to which add a quarter of a pound of powdered loafsugar, three-quarters of a pound of butter, arid* flavor with a little sceenns of almonds.

How to Mare Good Yeast.—A farmer’s wife sends to Hearth and Home the following recipe for making good yeast : “ Take eight good sized potatoes, peal and boil them in a gallon of water until quite soft; then mash them very fine, and put in two-thirds of a cup of salt and one cup of sugar; piour ■ over them the water they were boiled in and let them stand until cool. Then put In some good yeast, and pour all Into a good, clean Jug; let it stood in a warm place twelve hours, then cork up tight, and set in a cold place.
