Ntm York Ucratd. Proceedings of the United States Circuit Court for the District of Indians. At twenty minutes past 10 o'clock the tbe Untied States Marshal opened Che session of this Court, in the chamber in the postoiflce building, whereupon the Hon. J. W. Gordon delivered an eulogy upon the late President Abraham Lincoln. By the kindness of the gentleman we hare been furnished a copy of his address, which wc here give : Jour. SPEECH OF MR. GORDON. Jfay it please the Court : This halt is draped in the habiliments of woe. The Justice of our dear native land is a mourner. Abraham Lincoln, her first minister, stricken dead by the cruel hand of injustice and crime, lies still unburied in her presence. With streaming eyes she follows his funeral train, and goes with the weeping nation to lay his mortal remains in their honored grave, where they shall "Sleep in blessings," And "hare a tomb of orphans' tears wept on 'em." All the uses of life unite their sighs and tears with hers. Labor, brown wih sun, and wind, and toil, leaves her fields and shops, and with grief-stained visage weeps beside his bier. Her plow stands still in the unfinished furrow, and her hammer lies idly by the silent anvil. The hum of her busy mills is hushed ; and even the stalwart strokes of her axmen no longer resound through the silent forests. Commerce is dumb with grief, and drapes her splenid chambers with the ensign of her mighty sorrow. Art catches the "mournful inspiration,! and goes forth with the people in its sad pilgrimage of love and tears. Sculpture and painting, anJ tnusic and song, have found anew theme, and, as if enamored of death and woe, have brought the universe, to crown them wi:h immortal beauty. In the gloom of their bright, tearful eyes' onr poor human souls catch glimpses of "the land of the hereafter," to which the night of death and sorrow is but the gate. Religion with all her temples bearing the badges of a grief that words cannot utter, mingles her tears with those of Iter sisters, and greets the mourners with the high i consolations of an immortal, life boy on d the grave. I),, what a sad pilgrimage were this, on which the stricken soul of the people is gone forth, if the grave, to which it leads, were all 6f him whose sacred dust it soon shall hide forever. It is not all. No: the use, the justice, the beauty and the divine in our nature, all tending upward uutil Heaven itself bends down and takes us up in the strong arms of Religion, combine to assure us of immortality. Let us, then, look up through our tears, and we shall behold him whom we mourn as dead, made perfect through labor, and patience, and suffering, crowned and. immortal. ,., t .., ' But the sou of -Abraham Lincoln will live long in the regenerated institutions of his country, and in the country itself which his labors and blood have done so much to redeem from the curse of caste and the bondage of corruption." It will live in the language of bis native )tmd- in the. words ho La spoken, and in the deeds he has done as long as plain truth, and manly action are admired among men. What a lesson his life has left the world! Every step he has taken from the rude cabin door where he was born, to tbe honored grave where bis remains

Look up -to the light of his example, and "take heart again;" for it i$ the star of hope, newly risen to cheer the hitherto hopeless. Let it be vourgnide, and you cannot fail In the great race of life. Remember that The star that guides the wand'rer right, Is virtue fair, and honor bright 1 Let the little boy with bare, sore feet. "meanly clad and poorly fed' and God knows our poor country has many such now while lenuing utuler his loau or pramature toil and care, read the history of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood; and then, if it be given him, raise his eyes and soul to the great rewards that crowned his later years, and he will "learn to labor and to wait." None not even the poorest is poorer , than he Was; for, him, it really seemed as if nature had taken the poet's advee, and 'Cast the bantling on the rocks, Suckled him with the she wnolf-fear. And wiuWred him with toe hawk and fox," in order to achieve that greatest of all human results a strong, self-reliant, perfect soul. Like a seed cast far down into a deep and gloomy mountain chasm, his childhood fell in the depths of poverty and obscurity; and, like the life within that seed, the soul within him struggled ever upward in search of the ital breath of heaven, and the warm. bright sunshine, that he knew, even his onely darkness, must at last crown his toil. In this hope he endured the labors of forest and the field fAer with ax, and maul, and iron wedge, and wooden glut hewn out by his own hand and here with plow, and hoe, ami sickle, and scythe, "toiling for the altogether indispensable even for daily bread ;" and, it may be, at times, dreaming in the depths of his sdrrowful heart, that he was already conscripted for that stern warfare as long as his life should last. But it was not so ordained. God had far other and higher work for Lim to do; and this hard struggle in which he won the soul's food the bread of life from the crumbs that feu from the rich man s table, was but the trial of his powers, designed to strengthen and toughen the thew and sinews of his nature for the gigantic conflicts that even then were advancing to meet him. As such he accepted it all with gentle patience, enduring hardships as a good soldier, not permitting tbe rough buffeting of the world to mingle a drop of gall or bitterness with the sweet current of his soul, which flowed onward even to the moment of his death, as pure, simple and loving as erst in the days of his sinless childhood. Had he turned to avenge himself upon the world that buffeted him, he would have been lost to himself, his country and the world. He was superior to hatred or revenge, and learned without a teacher the precept given by Wolsey to Cromwell : "Lore thyself last ; cherish those hearts that bate thee; Corruption wins not more than honesty ; Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace To silence enrious tongues. Kejnst and fear not ; Iyet all the ends thou aim'st at, be thy country'a Thy Ood's, and truth's," All these, from his yotith up, has he kept ; and now that he has fallen, the whole people cherish him "in the innermost shrine of their hearts," His cxaraplo is perfect, embracing the entire possible of the life of an American citizen, in all the relations it may sustain to private and public welfare. Perhaps no citizen so highly distinguished, has ever before attained such distinction, through circumstances so adverse, and pursuits so diversified. How shall we account for the wonderful success of his career? He did not, perhaps, possess the highest order of mind. Talents he undoubtedly had, and of a very high character, too ; but few will claim that he had genius. He never sought to adjust his public measures to an ideal standard. It may be well questioned whether he ever conceived any such adjustment possible. Certain it is, he did not attempt to effect it. On the contrary, he endeavored to base his policy upon the common sense of the people upon public opinion. Few men of genius were his counselors ; and fewer still were entrusted by him with high command in the army. He leaned on men of strong practical common sense, like himself ;a nd with them went forwrad in the slow development of bis grand designs. Nor am I here to censure the wisdom of his choice; for a government resting upon the popular will, as ours pre eminently does, mnst conform to it, or fail. It by no means follows that measures most nearly approaching the absolutely just, are, therefore, always, or even often practically the best. If the philosophic and enthusiastic would bear this in mind, they would have more charity for those who are entrusted with the administration of public affairs. A want of reflection upon the necessities of Mr. Lincoln's position as the practical exponent of popular opinion, was no doubt the principal source cf the only censures which his administration ever received from any considerable portion of his original friends and supporters. It should be enough hereafter to satisfy these men ot ideas, if the Government shall keep peace with public opinion. While Mr. Lincoln, however, did not follow the ideal, and, it may be, had little faith- in Its utility as a practical guide in the conduct of affairs, he was ever devoted to duty. He had faith in duty ; and cheefully took every step in its stern career. It might lead him upon ground which his eye could not see, still he went fearlessly forward, trusting in Him who imposed the duty, for safe and firm footing in the darkness. He knew that every step so taken was a step forward and upward. And this should never be forgotten. No truly great and safe manhood was ever attained, that

r v

T JUST AND FEAR NOT! LET ALL THE RICIOIOXD, was not thus approached by regular stages, each the patient earnest performance of the dnty, of the present hoar. Each duty of life thus faithfully done in its own good time, must make the failure of the doer an impossible event. This faith in duty, and devotion to it was that bound together each separate act of President Lincoln's life; and gave consistency and strength to his great and good character. He was a thorough man.- He read thoroughly and remembered what he read. He mastered the facts of every subject submitted to hi3 consideration, and knew their value well. His arguments show the utmost carefulness on his part to reject every doubtful or foreign element; and his conclusions, tho' not always based on the broadest possi ble inductions, are generally legitimate inferences from sonnd premises. He was, therefore, a sound man. No practical matter of business transcended his capacity to comprehend it ; no labor that devolved upon him, was too great for his patient endurance and effort to accomplish it. While he lived, the measures of bis administrrtion were often criticised by his political opponents; and some of them severely censured even by his friend. No man, however, who knew him well, ever doubted the general rectitude of his purposes, or the goodness of his heart. The great events through which he conducted the country, the responsibilities he was forced to assume by the new and tinforscen contingencies which were constantly arising in his way, and the fact that, taken altogether, hfs administration is now admitted to have been successful, must go far to secure for him, as a cheif magistrate, the favorable judgment of the whole people. When, in addition, it is considered that in the brief space of a single term he wielded a larger official patronage and power, decided more rew questions involving momentous public and private interests in a word, transacted more weighty business directly involving the existence of the government, than all his predecessors in the Presidential office, and yet committed no fatal error, it is not charity, but simple justice that demands that all should cease to find fault with his administration. The sad circumstances of his death have, indeed, hushed the clamor of opposition ; and, in the sympathy of a mighty and univer sal grief, united all men of all parties in one, which is bowed reverently down under the chastisement of a common bereavement. He is gone; and friend and foe alike deplore his fall. I do not believe that there is any general sentiment of approval of his assassination, even in the State, lately arrayed against the Government. On the contrary, it must be plain to every man, even of common in telligence, both there and elsewhere, not only from the oft repeated declarations of Mr. Lincoln himself, but from the uniform tenor of his public acts, that he was, perhaps, the most conservative, and certain' altogether the most merciful and forgiving man to whom the great work of reconstruction could have been committed. I am sure that throughout the country there is but one sentiment in relation to his assassination, and that is a sentiment of profound sorrow for the loss sustained by the nation in the death of so good and so great a leader, and of horror and execration for the infernal crime and criminal by whom be fell. Then, let us all endeavor to make his death the occasion for a reunion of the whole people of the country. Let there be no effort to deepen and widen the crulf by which party strife has hith erto separated us; rather let it be closed i and healed forever by his sacred blood. Let all true men repel the miserable policy that would seize his murder as a means of involving the people iu deeds of partisan brutality and vengeance. Standing by his still open grave, let us all pray that the broad mantle of his charity may fall upon us, and that we like him, may be ever willing to tolerate a difference of opinion so long as it does not culminate in treason to the Government which protects us all. A little more than four years ago, he passed through this State to the Federal Capitol, in health and hope, to assume the responsibilities to which the nation had called him. One section of the Union was even then arrayed against the Government which he was to administer. He felt, and said at the time, that a labor greater than had been performed by Washington, was before him ; that he put his trust in the support and prayer3 of the people, and the mercy of God for ability to accomplish it. From that time until the moment of his fall, he labored faithfully at the great task then before him. The people have prayed and labored and bled, that he might not fail of its accomplishment. God has mercifully upheld him and crowned his efforts with success: and then in the moment of accomplishment, when the dawn was breaking upon the dark night of his country's affliction, and the voices of gladness were heard throughont the land, He raised him from the scene of his earthly labors and trials, and tri umphs, to the reward of eternity. Surely, it is even blessed at such a time to die. He is gone. "The cross remains to us the crown to him." His life long battle with injustice and wrong. Is fought his victory won. The sword that he wielded has fallen from his hand; it is unstained by innocent blood; he left it pure and bright to his successor, who has taken it up to carry forward the triumphant cause of the Government now, the cause of liberty, of humanity, and of civilization. He knew, even in death, that Another hand bis sword abonid wield, Another band bis standard war. Till from the trumpet's moata is peiled Tbe blast of trwaaph o'er his grara. I have not spoken of the time, place or manner of his death. The whole stricken land knows these too well already. Besides, it is an event of such

WAYNE CO., IIVDiy universal grief and horror that time and place, and circumstances are lost in the ghastly fact . He is dead slain by the hand of a traitorous assassin. The whole people stand uncovered and in tears as his funeral passes through the land ; and every heart feels that the "whole land is his tomb." It is meet that we the ministers and officers of justice and law, should unite in this general grief; and take some steps to express our appreciation of the leader we have loved and lost ' At the conclusion of tbe address, Mr. Gordon moved that a committee of five of the seinor members of the bar be appointed by the Court to present suitable resolutions in relation to the death of the President. Judge McDonald responded briefly, and appointed Hon. James Morrison, Hon, Jeremiah Sullivan, Hon. John B. Niles, Hon. John A. Matson and Hon. Jacob B. Julian said committee. The committee were requested to make their report on Tuesday, May 9th, at 2 o'clock p. m. whereupon the Court adjourned. From the New Orleans Times, April 23 J. AS IMPRESSIVE ADDRESS. This morning, in the Jewish Synagogne the Rev. D. Illowy delivered a most impressive and affecting sermon to his congregation. We are happy to be able to place before our readers a S3 nopsis of bis discourse. It was as follows: text SAM , nr. 32. "And when King David heard that his friend Abner had been assassinated by the murderous hand of Joab, he wept at his grave and thus lamented: Must Abner die the death of the wicked? "Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters; as a man falleth before wicked men, so did'st thon fall. And all the people wept again over him. "And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying: So do God to me, and more, also, if I taste bread or aught else till the sun be down. "And the King said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Iseral." Mr Bkeathkes My text which I just now read before you, probably tells you that it must be a melancholy and sad occasion that impels me to-day to address you with a broken heart, depressed mind, and an afflicted soul, which on any other occasion, however melancholy it might be, would be regarded as a violation of the sacred hilarity of tbe Lord's day. But I cannot restrain tnyself from uttering my feelings of a woe which will tear the hearts of millions at home and abroad when hearing of the great calamity which befel our countrv. Sons of Abraham! you all have heard the heart rending news which has thrown the whole nation into the deepest depth of sorrow and atflction. Sons of Abraham! you have heard of the most terrible event that Abraham, the dearly beloved father of our country, is no more. The great Ruler of the Universe pleased to call him home to the Father's house, and as once, to our patriarch. He said unto him, Abraham, get thee out of thy country, from thy kindred, from thy people and go into a land which I will show thee; Ahram is gone as the Lord has commanded him to ascend the glorious throne which his hand has erected for his beloved ones, in a land of eternal bliss an 1 perpetual happiness, where the righteous earns the fruits of his righteousness. where the sun never sets, there is always day and never night. Oh! my friends, how gladly did we listen last Sabbath to the glorious news, to the happy and cheerful tidings which filled our hearts with joy, with overflowing pleasure, and with feelings of gratitude to our Heavenly Father for the gracious favors which He has bestowed upon us, through His faithful servant Abraham, whilst millions who were nearer to the place of t he calamity were weepiug the great loss of the best of men who ever lived on the American soiL Oh! how short are all earthly pleasures, shorter than a nightly dream: they vanish away like a morning cloud; soon and sudden did the Lord I convert our joy into sorrow, our tears of pleasure into tears of deep affliction. Last Sabbath we cherfully exclaimed with the pious King David, Thank ye the Lord for He is good; His mercy endureth forever, and to day already we must weep with him, lament like him when be mourned for hia friend Abner, we must call. Mourn House of Israel, lift cp thy clamorous voice house of Judea, for a prince, a great man, has fallen to-day. Like David, when standing at the grave of his assassinated friend, we call after the departed father of our country, Abraham thy hands were neTer bound, and thy feet were never put ia chains. No, thy hands were never bound by the wiles of othersby the ties of flattery, or by the galling manacles of fear; thou didst hear nothing, but the wishes of the people, thou didst fear none but God, who alone was thy guide and trust, and who was with thee as He has promised on the night of terror, "Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield." Thy hands were always active, always stretched forth to help, when and where thy help was needed. Thy feet were not put ia chains, never restrained by selfishness, never checked

Thou bast succeeded and bast achieved glorious victories over enemies whom thou hast not trodden down with rigor, but turne i 1:1 o friends, who now "w down with defe -ence and sincere repentance 'before our glorious banner of liberty and equality. Thou hast wound thyself lovingly around the hearts of millions with gentle ties, which even the destructive tooth of time can never loosen. Ages will roll upon ages, but thy memory w 11 still live in the hearts of thy countrymen until the latest generations. Thou hast succeeded to see the full accomplishment of t e last and the best work of thy life, the total disappearance of the stormpregnant clouds which thickly brooding over our country, threatening it with total ruin. Thou hast succeeded and hast seen, before the sunset of thy life, the blissful fruits of the tree which' thou hast planted and moistened with the precious blood of thy noble heart thou wast permitted to see, bat not to enjoy them, and like unto the great Teac - f mankind, the Redeemer of Isreal. did the Lord say unto thee, "Get thee up on this mountain; from there shalt thou see the land which I have given unto thy people, and when thou ha t sirn it, then shalt thou be gathered unto thy brothers who are gone before thee." My Brethren Without a iv diloyl'y to the worthy successor of Abraham Lincoln we may openly avow how deeply and bitterly we deplore his loss, how deeply it has affected us; and the intelligence so sudden and so unexpected, of his having been cut down like a stalk of corn, and fallen under the murderous hand of an infernal fiend, so staggered our belief, that we could hardly realize the awful fact, had not the general lamenta tion confirmed the sad report, that the good and noble minded father has been called hence by the King of Kings. He is gone; he is no more; but his spirit will continue to live in the heart of his worthy successor, and his memory will forever be a blessed one in the hearts of his countrymen, as in the pages of history, for with bis name commences a new era in the history of the greatest and most powerful republic that ever existed on earth. He is gone and is no more. Duly and well prepared he has give up his body to corruption, and his soul he rendered into the hand of the Father of all souls who had given it His body lies now like once our father Jacob, on a cold piece of ground, with a stony pillow under his head, sleeping the sweet 6leep of the righteous, but the spirit has ascended the ladder of life on which God's niinestering angels are ascending and descending. And may the stone under his head make his grave the sacred place where his weary bones rest a holy temple, in which his latest successors may yet hear with awe and deference the voice of justice, which arise from the grave of Abraham Lincoln, whose raenojy will forever be amoug all of us a blessed one. Amen. FROM SPRINGFIELD. roll Particulars of the Funeral Ceremonies at Springfield. Springfield, May 4, 1865. At the hour of 8 a vast concourse of people had been attracted about the 6tate house to listen some solemn and soul stirring hymns which were being chanted, in a group on the front steps were 250 ladies and gentlemen who sang in a tone of great sweetness and power the hymn entitled "Peace, peace, troubled soul." They were under. the direc tionof Mr. Messner, of Springfield, aided by Mr. Palmer of St Louis. While the coffin was being carried on tbe shoulders of Sergeants of the Gnard of Honor, the beautiful words of music known as "Pleyels Hymn" were snng by the group cf singers, the Washington Band of St. Louis joining in giving its rendition an electric effect. While these ceremonies were being performed the throng of people gathered about acted in the most orderly and gentle manner. Scarcely a murmur was heard; a deep feeling of reverence pervaded every heart MOVKSIKjrtS of ths procession. At the hour of half-past eleven a. m. the procession commenced to move. Immediately upon its departure a band played "Lincoln's Funeral March. The funeral cortege passed through tbe principal streets, Alaj. Gen. Hooker and staff leading, after whom followed Maj. Gen. Dodge and staff, with Brig. Gen. Oakes and staff. The 146th Ohio, Col. Dean commanding, followed next their beautiful flags drooping. A band playing the dead march from Saul, was next in line, then came a battalion of the 14th Iowa, Capt Hoffbar, and five companies of the 24th Michigan. All the military marched with trailed arms. The city officials of St Louis.the Halleck Guards, and the City Guards of St Louis were next in order. Company E, 23d regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, Capt Cornelius, followed next, Maj. Gen. McClernand and staff came next; then the hearse, guarded by the Guard of Honor, followed by four Liertt en ant's in file.

The President's horse, a noble looking animal, led by two grooms, passed slowly. The family and friends of the deceased, the delegations from Kentucky, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana, and the members of the Illinois Legislature, were next in continuation. The societies of Knights Templar of this city, and representatives from St Louis, Peoria and Decatur, were followed by the society of Masons of this city, with Bloomington. Clinton, Decatur and Chicago delegations. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Free Masons and different societies of Odd Fellows came in regular order of procession. These different bodies appeared to much advantage, their rich and costly regalias and their solemn, religious air having a peculiar effect upon the sight as well aa senses. The Springfield Catholic Institute Association were out in large numbers and handsomely attire! with their green sashes and rosettes of mourning. Mr. Daniel Kelly, one of the members, bore on a flagstaff a beautiful full rigged ship three feet long and six inches wide, and iuteuded to be emblamatic of the Ship of State. A steel portrait of President Lincoln was at the bow and another at tae stern, as if he were omnipresent in guilding its passage. This miniature vessel was very handsomely decorated, and the portraits shrouded in evergreens and roses. The neatness of the design, as well as the sentiment it represented, attracted great attention and gave universal satisfaction. The Bloomington Turners, Fenian Brotherhood and fire organizations followed next Conspicuous among the latter was No. 2, of this city, with their bright, new uniform and marrly bearing. The Altonian fire company from Alton, and a Bloomington fire company attended and took part in the ceremonies. The entire fire department of this city and their brother guests from neighboring towns, did themselves an honor in appearing in such strong numbers on this solemn occasion. The colored societies of Free Masons and Odd Fellows marched in line and demeaned themselves in a most creditable manner. The concourse of citizens who followed was very large. ABOCT DEPOSITING THE REMAINS. So much had been said and so little known as to the location in which the ashes of the deseased would find final rest, that the people grew somewhat uneasy. The general public opinion and especially that of the citizens of Springfield was in favor of having the remains deposited in the Mather estate in this city, but Mi s. Lincoln willed it otherwise, and the dust has been placed elsewhere. All last night long workmen were employed in finishing a vault in case different arrangements might have been agreed upon. As if this were finally the selected location up to a late hour this morning the public knew little or nothing about the spot selecting for interment. The papers gave no definite information, although on yesterday one of them published an extra, stating the body would be deposited on the Mather place, wtiicii statement proved a canard. o hand bills were given the public for their guidance in the matter, and everybody inquired, Where will the President be buried? The question is now settled. ARRIVAL OF THE REMAINS AT OAK CSMBTEUT. The procession has arrived at Oak Hill Cemetery. The family friends, guards of honor, chief mourners and others assembled close around the vault. The clergy were on an elevated ground adjacent, and Bishop Simpson, surrounded by other prominent clergymen, stood in advance looking down upon the coffin. After prayer by one of the gentlemen present, the Bishop delivered a funeral oration. It was one of the most masterly efforts ever delivered by this eloquent speaker. It was about one hour in duration, and a large part was a critical and wonderfully accurate analysis of the late President's character. His peroration, giving the lessons of the hour, was a matchless piece of eloquence glowing periods produced applause, and his appeals were greeted with solemn aniens from the large audience. THE VACLT. The vault is built of Joliet stone, and is twelve feet long by fifteen feet wide, with an arch of four feet sweep. It was ; tastefully decorated in black and was ; hung with evergreens. Large wreaths I were suspended around the walls, and i the floor was strewn with evergreens, j In the centerof the vault was a block of the finest polish, eight feet long by six I wide, and four feet thick, which was j covered with black drapery and tassela- ' ted with fringe of black "velvet The j block was raised twenty-two inches from , the snrface of the vault In this strocture lies all that remains mortal of j Abraham Lincoln. J little wtllik's coffix. Between the end of the vault and that t portion containing the President's re mains, and near the end, lie the remains of little Willie, in a black walnut box. Thus, in death, as in life, are they near each other, PLACING THE COFFIX3 IN THE VACLT. While the coffins were being placed in the vault the greatest interest was manifested to get a last look at the coffin of the sacred. People stood on tip-toe, anxiously peering over each others shoulders, each one determined, if possible, to satisfy himself. There was no crushing or jarring however the most rigid order having been observed. As the gnard of honor placed the ashes in the vault Capt Robert Lincoln and the intimate family friends were- standing close by the door and watching every movement The Captain looked solemn and thoughtful, and bore himself with manly courage throughout The ceremonies having terminated, the doors of the vault were closed by the sexton, Mr. George Wilus, when the mourners retired, each to his or her home. Thus we buried him; thus we leave him the great, the good, the martyr President

pecially the method of earing the dis-" ease, was a good UeaXdiscuswed in this journal. There ia rio doubt but tbe ailment comes firorl. little worms, the larva? of some fly'or insert, which are found in considerabta numbers iu the threats of the chickens, and causes their death. These dies or insects no donbt abound -about fowl houses and 'yards,' so that keeping the chickens in places which fowls do not frequent aud where they have not before been kept, goes far toward protecting them from the evil. A correspondent, "Coxsaele," writes as follows : "About a year ago I communicated to the Agriculturist a certain mode of treating chickens, to rrrrnt gapes. ' Since that time I have seen various modes stated to cure the ailment ' Now, Mr. Editor, I insist upon it that "an ounce of prevention, is better than a pound of cure." There is no need of having gapes at all. Last year I raised nearly one hundred chickens, and rnd not a sign of gapes among them. My method is as follows ; When the chickens are in condition to take from the nest, I put them with the hen in a coop with a board bottom, so as to keep the j'oung ones from the cold and damp ground. They are fed with Indian meal on which boiling water is poured from the teakettle, well stirred and allowed to cool. I believe the whole secret is to keep the chickens dry and warm when quite young, and give them cooked feed.'American Agriculturist,

Oct-Dook Whitewash. C. K. B., Champaign, 111., asks us to republish the following recipe which he has lost and regards valuable : 2 quarts of skimmed milk; 2 ozs. fresh slaked lime; 5 lbs. whiting; put the lime into a stoneware vessel, pour upon it a sullicient quantity of milk to make a mixture resembling cream, and then add the balance of the milk. Crumble the whiting, and spread it on the surface of the fluid. Stir or grind as 3 011 would paint and apply as you do other paints. It dries quick, and a second or third coat can be added if desired. It is inodorous, does not rub ofT. This qnantitj- will cover 57 square yards with one coat. It maj- be colored, if desired, by adding coloring matter. Xetc- Yorker. Egos can be kept for a long period in a cool place, if secured in an upright position with the small end down, in oats. Bran is liable to ferment Strong limewater preserves them well, as will also salt, if kept on end ; in any other position they cook and become solid. Greasing them with lard prevents the air from penetrating the porous- shell. XeicYorker. The Folly of Strikes. The folly and absurdity of strikes is well illustrated by the termination of the orpnt Kiurlisli "T-rtrtr -mit " Tin inrrt. j pondent of the London Kngineer says : ".Now that the struggle is over that is in the north both parties may not unprofitable' review their respective positions, and inquire what the lock-out has done for eithe.-of them. The men lost a fortnight's wages. Nothing more. They began work again on Thursday night on the same conditions as they were locked out onSaturday three weeks. The masters lost the profits on their works during that time. There are about TOO puddling furnaces In this district Each furnace in round numbers may be said to have cost 1,000. There has, therefore, been something like 8700,000 of capital lying idle and unproductive for sixteen working day., The men lost their wages for that times and the employers lost their profit, and who has been benefitted ? No one. Work was resumed in the northern Iron factories on exactly the same conditions as it ceased nearly three weeks before." Workmen Bhould understand that all persons or journals who endeavor to draw a line between them and their employers are their enemies, who have some base purpose, and care little what misery they cause to poor men so that tiiey gain their ends. Anecdote of President Johnson. A gentleman of this city tells a characteristic anecdote of Andrew Johnson, which he heard related some years ago by a prominent Tennessee politician, who had personal knowledge of the circumstances. At the period of his election as Governor of Tennessee he had a fiiend who, like himself, had risen from a humble position in life to a position of honor and eminence. He was a blacksmith by trade, but was at the time we speak of a Judge of the Supreme Court. Not long after 'Andy" became seated in the Gubernatorial chair, he received from this friend a present of au iron shovel, which the latter, by way of amuse ment, had hammered ont during hia 1 hours of relaxation from the carea ami duties of office. The son of Vulcan received no intelligence concerning hia present for a long time, and began to think the Governor would not deign to acknowledge its reception; but the cause of his silence was in due time explained. His spare time bad been occu- 7 pied in making a complete suit of clothes for the d-dexant blacksmith, and when completed they were duly forwarded to him as a consideration for the substantial present he had received. In what other country could an incident like , this have transpired between two high officials ? Is it a wonder that Andrew Johnson shonld resist to ths death the efforts of traitors to overturn, and destroy the God-given institutions which afford such opportunities to the poor man to rise by his own merits. be ' troit Advertiser.
