Anecdoic of Gen. uarncy.

\ correspondent of the New York Tribune re-
lates the following anccdote illustrative of the
character Of Gen. Harncy, who has command of
the troops destined for Utah;
In general appearance General IIarney is i'm
hressive. He is considerably over six feet tall;
and is large-boncd and muscular. Ills hair was
red, but is now thickly mixed with white. lie
wears it short and begins to be bald on the
crown OF his head. His moustaches and beard
are nearly white, and are also thick and clipped
short His eyes arc blue and dull. for he uses
spectacles. In younger years he must have been
a model of physical vigor and strength, but he
now looks older than he really is, for his age.
believe does not exceed hfty-ive. While in st.
Louis, | heard an auccdotc illustrative of his
character. which | have never seen in print.
Being in New York many years ago, he passed u
store in one of the principal streets, In which an
auctionccr was soliciting bids for an engraving of
Geucral Jackson, both the seller and the crowd
were no political friends of the subject OF the
picture aud were ridiculing it in every possible
manner. " How much am | offered for the hero
If New Orleans p cried the man on the stand.
'Only half n cent? Why, he's worth cent,
surely, after robbug q bank. Make it cent.
won't you, gcntlemcnY Now, then, how much
am orcrcd?' one hundred dollars said II
voice cmphatcally, ns Col. llarney entered the
door cone hundred dollars, sir" he repeated,
making his way through the crowd, half II head
taller than any other man in the room. The
auctouccr, naturally NstoniShed, inquired If the
gentleman was in earnest, and started again on
his wittcisms ''Sir, | am in earnest, aud claim
my bid" interrupted the colonel, "und if no ono
bids, | claim the picture" No one bidding
more, he handed the auotonccr the money aud
his address. And now, sir" he remarked,
SciIing him hy the collar, and dragging him To
the floor, "I claim the privilege OF applying the
baslnOdo to your body for damnablc impcr-
tncncc.' And having cancd him to his salts
faction, no one in the crowd ventured to inter
fere, he strobe ont and continued his walk down
tho street Anayze the quality of character
necessary TO man to he the actor in such
scene, aud think you will discover the traits
which military men consider to tit General llar-
ney emincnly as the leader OF the Utah ex-
Dcditiun.

When we Parted.
BY sALIIE NJ. BRYAN,


A dark blue robe all gcmmcd with splendid stars
Fell in still folds around the regal Night,
And the pale crescent on her fair brow shone
With dim quivering lustcr-whcn we parted.
Thy dreamy gaze oft wandered to the skies,
As it would read their mysteries to learn
If there carth's loving loved and met no i'll.
Av. poetry was trembling on thy lip
And burning in thy bosom, when we parted
oh twas so long ago
Perchance not oft
The violcts have come and passed away,
And the young rose-buds raised their lovely lips
To kiss the Springs bright beauty-sincc we part
Yet il was long ago Eternities fed
Since then have pcrished yet we both breathe Oh
And smile and weep and build dream palaces
And make us idols brightly beautiful
And burn the rich incense of the heart
On these new shrnes, and how and worship there
With all the deep deVotcdneSs OF yorc--
Though misty autumn days and mournlul nights
All black with dcsolation, have gone by
Though we arc parted
Never, never more
Shall behold thee, bright. once worshippcd one
Look on this lower-thou knowcst its emblem
Ay,' the spell is broken, murmurs from its leaves
Yet chanting memories all pale and shadowy
Rise in my bosom's dream time from the past
And bid my soul to rush and meet thine own,
As in blcst yore to wander with it through
Those beautiful cloud castles far away
In the blue landscapes of the sky. Or rest
Beneath the splendid shadows falling deep
From the rich gold and crimson drapery hing
Around the halls where suuset-angcs dream,
Or float through nights blue sea of loneliness
In stray barks. oh say rcmembercst thou
The tears ot-whcn we parted.-LoH'srRe Jou.

q" Suioide Of an Unknown Girl"

How often, gays the New York L0igcr, does
this startling and melancholy announcement stare
at us from out the coumn-record u casualties
and deaths. Suicide of nn Unknown Girl :
what history Of bightcd hopes, OF insupporta-
bic disgrace, Of Il daughter Outcast from her IA
theirs roof Of suffering and despair, is compress
ed within that short line And yet how few are
there who experience any emotions of grief or
sympathy on reading This on-printcd announce
mcnt. II IL taken, as Il matter Of course, with all
the rest and soon bIOtcd from the memory Of
other records And yet, what object on earth
so demands the hearts best compassion as poor,
betrayed, outcast homeless girl walking the
streets of a gret city, without II friend on earth,
and not daring to turn her gaze or lift her hopes
TO Heaven? Such condition is hard aud bitter
enough for a man, with all the iron nerve aud
resource and hardihood Of his sex but for wo-
man, who can utter its terrors and agony No
wonder that to such one the smiling waters Of
a river murmur wooingy and that with hopes
blighted, affections betrayed, heart crushed body
starved. and brain crazed, she leaps to the dark
foods embrace, glad with it's aid TO escape

AGRICULTURAL EDUcATIoN. When
farming is conducted on scientific princi-
pies, the increase of crops would amply
compensate for the labor and capital ex-
pended in its production but when it is,
as too often happens, regarded as one of
those callings that only require strong
arms and industrious habits, to secure
success, it is very likely to prove any
thing but successful, SO long as the true
principles of cultivating and maintaining
the soil remain unlearned Strong hands
and patient industry might suffice while
population continued thin and scattered,
and when the land is subject to a very
small amount of lime post; but in these
days when population has become dense,
and the land is subject to high rents and
heavy taxes, strong arms and industry
will not alone suffice to enable the farm
er to overcome his difficulties. In these
days the battle is not with the strong,
but with the intelligent; and if the
farmer expects TO succeed IN his profess
ion, he must begin by acquiring know
ledge Of the materials he has cooperate
upon, the nature of the product he has
to raise, and how the best his great ma
chine, the soil, shall be maintained in
in efficient order.

PLANTING PoTAToEs WHOLE OR IN
SETs-WHTCH is BEST ?-It appears from
statements occasionally to be met with
IN the British agricultural journals, that
there is no more uniformity of opinion
or Of practice in regard to planting po-
tatoes among our brother farmers across
the Atlantic, than there is among our
selves. The editor of the North British
Agriculturalist says in late issue that
he had the pleasure of witnessing at
Cameron House, near Edinburg, the re-
suit of an experiment which had been
instituted relative to the comparative ad-
vantages of planting potatoes whole or in
sets. The first experiment was with six
whole potatoes, weighing together II
lbs. They were planted on the 29th Of
March; (the season there admitting of
much earlier planting than here y 3 feet
apart every way, and the produce was
334 potatoes, weighing x lbs, or an av-
erage 12l for each tuber planted, being
return of fifty for one in weight, and
equal to about 321 tons per Scotch acre,
nearly 26 per English acre. The.second
experiment was with % lbs. of potatoes,
planted in sets at the same time, % feet
apart in the drills, and one foot between
the sets. The produce was 1850 lbs,
return of forty one for one in weight,
and equal to 234 tons per Scotch acre,
or about 10 tons per English acre.

To PREVENT Cows FROM RIcKINa.-
have owned for the past three years a
COW that was very valuable for her milk
ing qualities, but very troublesome on
account of her kicking prcpensities. -
After had made up my mind to dispose
of her on account of her bad habit,
happened to employ an Englishman to
whom gave the advice of caution upon
his first essay at milking. He smiled
and said he could easily prevent that, and
proceeded to pass rope around her body
just in front of her bag, tying it in a
simple knot upon her back. The rope
was not drawn very tight, and to my
utter surprise the COW stood perfectly
quiet through the process of milking,
not as much as offering to raise per foot
To test the remedy, directed him the
next morning to intermit the use of the
rope, and she Immediately returned to
her old habit. l had previously tried
the method suggested in the Country
Gentleman some weeks since, of tying
up the fore leg, but without avail. She
would still attempt to kick, and in the
effort throw herself. | have not had the
opportunityof testing it with any other
COW, but as it proved entirely successful
in the instance named and my man in
forms me he has seen it repeatedly tried
with uniform success that have thought
proper to give you the result of my own
experience, hoping that others may be
equally profted by tt.
