The damage by partial or total destruction
of vessels on the Northwestern lakes the past
year is estimated to amount to $751;, 900,
against $1,920,3l5 in 1857 The number of
lives lost was 105, against 22l in 1857. This
decrease is probably owing, in good measure,
to diminution of the number of vessels en-
ployed in consequence of the hard times.

melancholy attempts at locomotion; but in the con-
fusion of the ungallant Storm it difficult to tell
which was the crinoline and which was the umbrel-

masses of snow, which put full stop to travel and
trade.

DoN'T KILL THE QUAILs-About the 1st
of June last, VIM. Norton, an intelligent, OBJ
serving farmer-boy, near Tamarora, observed
the quails Commonly partridges, -" in
Egypt very busy among the young corn.
He observed a small flock commencing at
one side of the field, taking about five rows,
following them regularly through the field,
scratching and picking about every hill till
they came to the other side of the field then
taking another five rows on their return, and
thus continuing till he thought they were
certainly pulling up the corn. He shot one,
and then proceeded to examine the corn
ground. On all the ground that they had
been over he found but one stalk of corn dis
turbed; that was scratched nearly out of the
ground, but the kernel was still attached to
the stalk. In the crop of the quail he killed
he found one cut-worm, twenty-one striped
over one hundred chinch bugs,
that still retained their Individuality mass
consisting Of hundreds of chinch
bugs-but not one kernel of corn. The
quails have been decreasing in number in
that vicinity for about five years past, and
the chinch bug increasing. / believe that
these facts stand in relation of cause and ef-
feet to each other.

A CALIFORNIA lTEM.-Some time ago there
was dancing party given "up north," near
Weavervllle ; most of the ladies present had
little babies, whose noisy perversity required
too much attention to permit the mothers to
enjoy the dance. A number of gallant
young men volunteered to watch the young
ones while the PARENTS indulged in break
down." No sooner had the women left the
babies in charge of the mischievous devils,
than they stripped the infants, changed their
clothes, giving to one the apparel of the 9TH
er. The dance over, it was time 20 90 home
and the mothers hurriedly took each baby,
in the dress of her own and started to their
homes, ten miles distant, and were far ON
their way before daylight But the day fol-
lowing there was prodigiousS row in that
settlement: mothers discoYeeed that a
single day had changed the sex of their ba-
bies-observation disclosed startling physi-
illogical phenomena, and then commenced
some of the tallest female pedestrianism; liv-
ing miles apart, it required two days to un-
mix the babies and as many months to re-
store the women to their naturally sweet
dispositions. To this day it is unsafe for
any of the baby mixers to venture within the
territory

DOES CREAM WEIGH LESS THAN MnK?-
1t is generally believed that the reason why
cream rises to the surface is because it is
lighter than the milk. jackson White, of
Conway, Mass, practical farmer. who has
had the handling of cream, milk, and butter
for the last fifteen years, has recently tried
the following experiment: He took pail.
holding Just thirteen wine-quarts, and filed
it with cream free from milk. The cream
and milk together weighed thirty-six pounds.
He then SKINNED the milk, and each weigh
ed the same as the cream On churning
the thirteen quarts of cream, he had thirteen
pounds of butter. lie argues that the weight
of milk proves nothing as to its richness:
that the cause of cream rising is its exposure
TO the atmosphere, and that to have cream
rise well, the depth of milk in the pans
should not exceed two inches. Very little
cream will rise on deep, narrow -mouthed
vessel, while more is obtained from large
spreading surface. Hence the philosophy of
shallow, tiaring milk pans. A practice, or
iginating in Connecticut, for obtaining the
largest quantity of cream from milk, is meet
ing the appreciation of many sensible dairy
women in this vicinity. New milk is strain
ed into common pans, and after staining II
hours, is carefully placed over kettle of
warm water, and brought as nearly as possi-
ble to the temperature of very new milk
1t is then set away for 12 hours more, when
it is ready to skim. Nearly double the cream
can be obtained from this process, that can
be obtained from any other with which we
are acquainted. .-Egchaage.

whatever, why they would not in bond the
est port Of entry and thus the interest on the
of the duty during the transit and cost of
change.
That the duty paid by the people Of the two sections
of the confederacy bears some intimate relation to the
relative amount of importatons in each is fortified
by the relative number and what is known of the hab
its and modes Of life Of the people.
In 1850 the entire population of the
free States was 134S4922
OF the slave States, 9,66i656
White population Of free States, 13,33065O
Of slave states, 6,22241S
Slave population, 8,204,3l3
The slaves, being than one-third of the inhab-
itants Of the slave States consume the planest food
and the coarsest hCmespun the free coored popula-
tion in these States IL said to be still more
OF the white opulaon, less than one-third is in any
way beneicialy connected with slavery. A very
large majority of the residue constantly described
by their Senators and Representatives in Congress- as
possessing fewer substantial comforts as more de-
pendent and helpless than the slaves. Hence but a
small part of the aggregate population of the slave
States can consume imported goods In considerable
quantities and, therefore, pay but small part of the
revenue received from imports.
In the free States the mass of the laboring people
are independent outside Of the great cities very few
population Of 6l9 600, were returned as paupers.-
In relation to food and rament there is but little SUBJ
stantial difference between the employer and the
poyed Nearly all consume foreign goods in consid-
cradle quantities: and consequently pay in the same
proportion indirect taxes for the support of
ernment. Also manufacturing districts, which exist
principally in the North, pay large sums of money
from year to year, as duty raw materials import
ed, which afterwards, fabrics, sold in foreign
markets The duty thus paid becomes an absolute tax
OH the industry Of the North.
is therefore probable that the enerprisng and
dustrious millions Of free people in the North and
Northwest, paw relative excess Of the receipts at
the custom houses, approa ching in amount the
Of their importatons.
The revenues collected through the post Offices in
each section OF the confcderacy presents disparity
still more striking.
Here exhibit the gross receipts and expend-
itures Of the Department from June 30, s5i to June
30, 1883, and the estimates for 1859 and 1860:
