SoIp THE BADy For S50.-A man,
lately passed through Nashville, Ten,
with drove of negroes destined for a
southern market. In the lot there
were several infants, which he did not
desire to take with him, becuase as he
said. they would injure the sale Of their
mothers. Some ofthcse he disposed OF
here, separating them, of course, from
their parents.
For the sum of fifty dollars he sold
to lady in this city an infant of three
month, consoling its mother with the
fendish remark that he would kill it
unless he could sell it.-Nashraie Ga

Mr. HALE. Mr.. President. it has
become the custom. custom which
has been introduced within few years
past, for gentlemen in the Senate to
express their sentiments upon the mes
sage on this motion. ! think that was
the case two or three years since.

eign policy. particularly with rcfercn e
to Central american affairs. \ dis

Now, sir, If the President, in this mes

believe to be his constitutional prcros-
ativc, that is, ''from time to time to
give to the Congress information of
the state of the Union, and recon-
mend to their consideration such meas

measures be what it might, | should
not have iclt called upon to say any

President has abused his constitutional
prcroSative, and gone out of the way
to interpolatc statement of tranSac-
tions that have long since transpircd,
and that have nothing to do with any
recommendation which he has seen fit
to make. anil which statement. in my
humble Judgment, is not consistent
with the truth of history: and, as az

To that, sir, I most cordially con-

obligations of piety of which he is so
fond of displaying in Ills messages, ii
lie had failed to take notice of the very

STARRING SEEDS EARLY.-Rev. Dan
'cl Emerson, Summit county, Ono. writes
hat he has been successful in giving gar
len seeds an early start in the following
manner Having selected the quantity
needed, each sort is tied by itselfin cloth,
the name being plainly written on slip OF
paper, and inclosed with the seed. The
packages are then buried about two inches
deep in the ground for week or two.
When ready TO plant, the kinds needed for
planting are taken from bags and used.
They will be found to have swelled, per-
haps sprouied, and ready to grow. If the
ground should be quite dry, it is best to
water the drills after dropping the seed.
and then cover with dry earth. Mr.. Il.
says that by this plan he has never failed
to raise plants from every seed planted,
If each seed is placed where it is wanted
TO grow, it will save labor Of thinning,
though many prefer to thin their rows,
leaving the most prominent plants to grow.
