THE GAME OF BRAG.-The Loco
Foco prints have again fairly com
menced the game of brag, and they
weekly parade before our eyes pyra-
mids of the States which they claim as

Polk and Dallas. The sumo game
was played in 1910, when they claim
ed ~ of the &c States, giving 26l cleo
torial votes, and they got 7, which
gave 60 votes. They are somewhat
less greedy at present, and claim only
Is or 16 of the 26 States, and there i,
some possibility that they may succeed
this fall in carrying about the same
proportion of these fifteen us they die

From Tie New Gcncscc Farmer.
THE NATURE AND ACTION OF
MANURES.

1t strikes me that it is all important
to the profitable farming, and to the
proper economy of that great Stun
bling block, manual labor, that on
farmers should study the nature of ma
urcS, and the best manner in which
that nature can be aided to produce the
greatest good with the least expense.
As Professor Danahas observed, the
study of natures action in the produc-
ton of plants, cannot be done without
'some little knowledge of chemistry"
But as the same author AYERS, it is pos
ible to be very good agricultural
chemist, without knowing any more
than the names of about fifteen sub
stances:
have often admired Tie practical
knowledge of chemistry acquired by
olir most illitcrate German farmers,
when see them hasten to plow in the
red clover before its blossoms com
mence to let loose its nitrogen. Even
the untutored Peruvian knows enough
of practical chemistry to know that in
his dry climate, the guano must BE-
sown directly on the leaves Of the
growing crop. But theoretical chem
lstry tells us that if the guano was
sown directly on the leaves Of plants
in our moist climate, lis ammonia or
nitrogen would be given off faster
than IT could be taken up by the plants.

SOMETHING FOR TIFF LABoRING MAN
We wish that every working man in.the

THE INDIAN MAID.

80 lollon maid stood on a high rocky cliff
whore Erie's deep food rolls in grandeur

Her face spoke Of grici, her lone heart was
SAD.
While the tears on her check told Of sor.
row and woe
and long did she gaze on that dark rolling
food,
And the wide spreading scene once so dear
60 her heart,
Her kindred were ali to the spiri, land gone,
Ind she prayed that her soul 10 that land
nigh, depart
But her tears were unseen, and her signs
were unheard
As she stood there alone ia the land Of her
birth;
She cav the wide ruins all smoldering there,
Where late she had sat by her own blazing
hoarh;
La:c yererdays eve, in sweet CAROL ling
tones
She sang with her friends all so happy and
The morning arose, but her friends were al!

The JOY giving beams Of the bright golden

As II rises in glory from far distant waves,

And the desoIa,e scene other dear kindred

And the soft soothing winds, so refreshing
and sweet,
As they scatter the locks Of her dark glossy
hair,
And the sweet morning hymn Of the fail
feathered tribes,
All. all speak of joys which she never can
share.
She thought Of the time, when a child, she
had played,
With the bow and the spear, on that wave
beaten strand
And with youthful companions in gadnes.

Had culcd the rare shells from the brigh

They had sported at morn DER the ligh

the expressed sentiments Of Mr.. Van Buren,, that
he would not approve any bill for internal inn
provements. 8.s 4~.s s, n
Mr.. SMITH, of ILL.,, made speech Of some
length in favor Of improving the Western rivers.
Mr.. VINTON, of Ohio, replied to the argu-
ment Of Mr. Holmes in relation to the ordinance
Of ~, and showed pretty conclusively that the
gentleman from 8. C. had gone further TO find the
power of the Government in relation to internal
improvements than was at all necessary. He con-
tended that the power to protect commerce, gave
to the Government the same right to remove dan
gerous obstructions in those rivers which were
highways to the ocean, that it had to erect light
houses, to save vessels from shpwreck.
Mr.. HARDIN apologzed for OBTAINING the
House, who he knew must be fatgued with the
subject. Mr.. H. then spoke briefly and sensibly
upon the subject, and cited the authority Of differ
ent Presidents to prove the practice of the Cow
eminent in reference to their improvements
Mr.. BARNARD followed, and in the course Of
his argument presented views which called up
Mr.. KENNEDY, of la, who said that if the
gentleman from New York were to advance the
same sentiments among his (Mr K's) constitu-
ents, he would be rode on rail, or pitched into
mud puddle s,,st
Mr.. BARNARD answered this braggadocio
very mildly by remarking that he should fear no
such brutality; he would not hesitate to go
dunoiiS tto constituency VI tIle 8entleLuan from
Indiana, and promulgate, in respectful and
peaceable manner, the same sentiments he had
maintained here. The hammer fell at the expi-
ration of MIR. BIS hour, and

amendment upon which he moved the previous
question. s,,ssfss. Va i.
Mr.. BARNARD appealed to Mr. J. to allow
him to offer an amendment, upon which his
whole speech was based, but Mr.. Johnson obsti-
nately refused. ta9 7Vi
Mr.. BARNARD observed that he had never
known such discourtesy practised here before.
The previous question was seconded, and the
amendment (which instead Of instructing the
Committee to report a sum for improving the
western rivers, directs them to inquire into the
expediency Of SO dong,) was taken by yeas and
