Stringfclow, of Kansas notoriety, denoun-
ccs the Lecompton constitution as an imposi-
ton. 1t is too gross an outrage even for him.
The Washington Union has refused to pub
fish Stringlellow's letters denouncing the Lo-
compton Constitution
The New York Democratic members are all
for Lecompton, notwithstanding the slavery
clause, The adoption of the slavery clause
has strengthened the Lecompton constitution
with the South Americans in Congress, and
spoiled the plans Of the moderate Democrats
for compromising the matter.
A TENDER REPRooF.--A little boy had

him, in lisping accents, ask to be made bet

A lot Of molasses was recently taken to
Portland and sold for 35 cents per gallon,
which was originally imported into Baltimore.
where it could have been sold for about IS
cents per gallon, but was held for higher

shipped to Boston, and not meeting buyers
there, was again re-shipped to Portland. Not

GENERAL Jackson on THE SUPREME

General Jackson's message to Congress in
1882, communicating his veto Of the Bank Of
the United States
elf the opinion Of the Supreme Court COW
ers the whole ground Of this act, it ought not
to control the coordinate authorities of this
Government. The Congress, the Executive.
and the Court, must each for itself be guided
by its own opinion of the Constitution. -
Each public officer ioho takes an Doth 10 support
he Constitution soedrs that he wW support IL as
he understands Il, and not as Il is Understood
oy others. II is as much the duty of the
House of Representatives, of the Senate, and
of the President to decide upon the consti-
tutonality of any bill or resolution which
may be presented to them for passage or an
proyal, as il is of the Supreme Judges, when
il may be brought before them for judicial
decision. The authority of the Supreme
Court must not, therefore, be permitted TO
control the Congress or the Executive. when
acting in their Legislative capacities, but to
nave only such influence as the force of their
reasoning may deserve"

BOYS UPON THE FARM.

HINTS TO PARENTS.
ID. L. w, of Beacon Falls, Conn, sends a
lengthy communication, from which we CLEAN
the following
Which shall be the farmer Am example is
given, where a farmer having but little land,
put one Of his two sons to trade, much a.
gainst the lads own wishes, while the other,
against his inclination, was retained upon the
homestead to take care of the parents in their
old age. The result was, the elder son serv-
cd his apprenticeship, and worked at his trade
twelve years, when he secured a farm and re-
turned to his coveted pursuit. The younger
son remained at home until twonty-one. and
being then free to act for himself, he quit the
farm in disgust, and went TO a iavorite trade,
which he still pursues. The parents remain
alone upon the homestead. The argument
drawn from this example is. that fathers
should exercise great care in studying the nat
: ural tastes and propensities of their sons, and
not attempt to arbitrarily force them into pur-
suits which are uncongenial."
While we admit that ID. l.. w. may be par
TALLY right especially in suggesting the exer-
else Of much careful discretion in this respect,
we would by no means encourage parents to
yield to the whims or caprices of BOYS while
having yet too little knowledge of the world
and of themselves, to know what they really
wish to do. There is not lad in twenty that
does not take fancy to at least half dozen
different pursuits, before he reaches the age
of sixteen OF eighteen.
now TO ATTACH Boys TO THE FARM.
We endorse moro freely the closing part of
the letter before us, in which il is recommen-
ded to parents TO endeavor to create real
taste and love for farming on the part of each
of their sons. To do this we agree with ID.
l.. W., that it is usually good policy to allow
to each boy small plot of ground, which he
shall cultivate as his own, and of which he
shall have the whole care and management
We conceive that this would develope a spe-
cial interest in the soil and its products. II
is all very well in theory. that all things upon
the farm should be held in common. and that
the boys should feel that this and that is ours
But the interest will be quickened if, at the
same time, the boy has the smallest Mot. in
the culture Of which he feels an individual re.
sponsiblity. He will thus be led to st,i9v the
bsst means of promoting its production. He
will reason upon the subject Of manures the
best modes Of tillage, DC. He will consult
with others upon these topics, and acquire an
interest in soil culture. which would never be
developed by mere mechanical toll while 9th.
ers do all the thinking and planning for him
similar effect will be produced by having
the special care of an animal or an implement
IN which personal interest is felt
Another good result from such a course is
that many hours usually devoted 10 play, OF
assoeiaung with evil company, would be di-
Nerted 10 useful exercises. As bad as some
hypochondriae people are disposed to cousid,

How TO ESTIMATE CRoPs PER AcRE--A
friend communicates the following method of
making an estimate of the yield per acre Of a
growing crop. of wheat, rye, oats or barley,
which he says has been found correct in Eng
land As it seems easy of application, and
approximately correct we give the plan, and
hope it will be tried at the next harvest time
Frame together four light sticks, measur-
ing exactly foot square inside, and with this
in hand, walk into the field and select spot
of fair average yield, and lower tho frame
square over as many heads as it will inclosc,
and shell out the heads thus enclosed careful
ly, and weigh the grain. 1t is fair to presume
that the product will be 43,560th part Of an
acres produce. TO provo it, go through the
field and make ten or twenty similar calcu-
lations, and estimate by the mean of the whole
number of results 1t will certainly enable a
farmer TO make closer estimation of what
his field will produce, than he can do by CUES
