GRAZING CATTLE AFTER MowINa.-Allow-
ing cattle to Craze after moving is, in some
respects, beneficial to meadow-lands. The
grass being kept short the roots spread, OBJ
tain deeper hold, and often become more
vigorous, while the manure contributed is a
source of aliment. In one instance farmer
owning two meadows turned his cattle on
one shortly after moving, each year, and fed
it off close to the ground. The other, having
90 some Young trees on on portion oft the cat
lowed to rot on the ground The hay-crop
on the former continued to improve in
quality and quantity each succeeding year,
till last year, when the crop was light, while
on the latter it decreased year by year, and
last year it would scarcely pay the expense
of cutting. Still in those regions where the
winters are severe, the grass should be al
lowed to grow in the fall, since, by its mat
ting down, it forms a secure covering and
protection against the frost and inclemency
of the weather. Were this fact more at
tended to there wonld be fewer complaints
of "frozen-out" meadows.

OUR EXPORTS TO FOREIGN PoRTs-The Old
World Tributary TO the NeV.-The New
York Tribune says;
We have sent vast quantities of agricul-
tural implements to all parts of Europe, and
some to Asia and Africa. A good many of
our implements have been taken to Pales-
tine, but it has been found next to impossi-
BILE to get the Arab population to use them.
In some other countries, where the laborers
are almost equally barbarous, they have
shown much more affection for things that
lessen labor-that Of drawing water from
wells in particular. In late conversation
with j. d. West, the inventor of most eff
fectiye iron pump, he told US that his firm
had frequent orders for pumps to be sent to
Russia, Germany, Turkey, Egypt, and now a
party is asking for its exclusive sale in Hun
gary. 1t is popular in all the Northern re-
gions on account of its anti-freezing prop
erty. 1t is also in use in the city of London,
and it is sent abroad, as well us used at home,
within the Ericsson hot-air engines, which
begin TO be ordered for several foreign coun-
tries.
In short, we are beginning to send abroad
many kinds of American tools and machines,
and the demand win increase Just as fast as
the articles become known. Europe is
already tributary to America.

Death of the Oldest Reisnlne SOVEREIGN


Death of the Oldest Refining SOVEREIGN
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says in
o late issue: -al 7
The oldest Of the reipning seyereieps of
Europe, and the head of the oldest reigning
family in Europe, died the other day. The
telegraphic advices say briefly that "the
Grand Duke Of Mecklenburg-Strelits is
dead" Nothing more about this oldest SOW
ereign Of Europe, and head of the Oldest
reigning family. To royal blood, lineage
dating back to the days of the Vandals, and
great age is consecrated one line Of tele-
graphic dispatch. ..
The realm over which this mighty poteu-
tate reigned supreme lies in the northern
part of Germany, is about as large as Ches-
ter County, Pennsylvania, with population
but little greater. In this choice little corner
of Europe, the blood of the Princes of the
Vandals, as the Mecklenburg-Str family
proudly call themselves, is sacredly guarded
from vulgar proclamation. The monarch's
subjects number about 100000; his army, or
rather his contingent to the army Of the
Confederation, l,l97.
The Grand Duchy has fractional vote in
the Diet, and cuts generally very small
figure in the drama of the nations. But in
blood it beats the biggest and the proudest
of them.
The monarch just dead was named George
Frederick k-Charles-Joseph. He was born
August H. l779, so that he was over eighty
one years of age when he was gathered to
his fathers He has reigned for forty
five years, and is succeeded by his son
Frederick William Charles-G George Earnest
Adolphus-Gustsvus, who is married to a
daughter Of the late Duke of Cambridge
who has borne him son having no less
than ten Christian names therein excell-
ing both his father and his grandfather.
The departure of this venerable repre-
sentative of the Oldest reigning house in
Europe will not make the least sensation in
the political world, and the little Grand
Ducby will be quite as little and quite as
grand under the new monarch, as it was
under the old.

AWARRIOR CBNTENARIAN-Oneo Of the Gal
liant Htghtdnders.--0ne of the oldest persons
in Charleston, says the Boston Transcript,
is Mr.. Hugh Young, residing on Tuffts-street.
He was born in Dunkeld, Scotland, and
claims to be in his one hundredth year. Heen-
tered the British service on the return of the
forty second HighlaDders from their Egyptian
campaign, and served in that famous corps
until his discharge in 1917, a period of twenty
one years. The old veteran exhibits with an
honest enthusiasm his army medal, which
with its clasp attests to the fact that he was
in many of the most sanguinary engage
ments of the Peninsular war, Salamanca,
Corunna, Toulouse and others. He was never
wounded; but at Waterloo q ball passed
through his bonnet, grazing the skin; taller
man would have fallen.
His memory is very good concerning his
military experience, and he takes great pleas
ure in detailing the stirring events of his long
service. From the British Government he
receives a pension of nine-pence per diem.
Notwithstanding his age and the exposure
to which he was subject in his camp life, he
is in good health, is but slightly deaf, reads
by the aid of glasses, and has an excellent
head of dark brown hair. He is believer in
fresh air, and sleeps with his window and
door wide open at all seasons of the year.
He is an inveterate smoker, fact which is
commended to the attention of our anti
tobacco friends. His father was over 100
years Of age at his death, and Mr.. Young
bids fair to survive many years.

POLITICAL MENDIcANTs.-One of the New
York journals speaks of the tribes of politi-
cal beggars who go around from one place of
business to another, asking for money to
displaying flags and every device thought
necessary to influence votes. The journal to
which we refer thinks the police ought to
arrest these persons as they would common
beggars. The better way to put an end to
such exactions would be for business men to
refuse to contribute one cent for such pur-
poses. So long as they give to such beg
gars they will have them calling upon them,
and like common begging, the evil becomes
multiplied through the generosity of the
giver. There are hundreds of persons who
live by such contributions while hanging
en- the skirts of party, generally, that which
has the most money to bestOw.

SOMETHING ABOUT HAY-oAPs.-We hear but
little inquiry this year for hay-caps, remarks
the MdSSachUsetts Ploughman. One writer
cautions against large caps, because the hay
grows musty under them in a storm of two
days. Another says he means to place his
caps this year under the bottoms of the cocks,
for the bottoms always suffer as much again
as the tops or the middle in case of rain.
Another farmer says he could have pre-
vented the wetting Of his hay, with his caps,
but he had not time to put them on-he was
barely able to cock up his hay in the old
form before the shower came. And still
another tells us that we have not much oc-
casion for caps, if they should be given us
that in most cases we can secure more hay
from shower by cooking it up well and
trimming, than by attempting to keep the
hay as dry as we would keep it in barn If
we stop to put on caps as we go, we run the
risk of leaving portion of our half-dried hay
wholly exposed, for want of time to do every
thing when foul weather is threatening.
Hay that is but half-dried suffers but little,
when well cooked up, in pretty heavy
shower. after opening and drying, it will
look as bright and bring as much in market
as any hay-and it is worth more for stock
than hay which is stuffed into close barns
before it is quite dry.

A New FLAG-Itdly Naaon.-A short
time since says the Boston Traveller, vessel
arrived at this port from Sicily, that country
which, in SO briefa period under the gallant
lead of Garibaldi, has succeeded in over
throwing the tyrepnical Nespolitan Govern
ment, and in joining the party now striving
to make Of the different sections of that
beautiful land one nationality. The captain
of the vessel presented himself at the custom
house, as is usual, with his papers. "From
what country do you come?" said the matter
of-tact official. "From Italy," replied the
italian. "But from what particular nationP
From Naples, Sicily or Sardinia2" ''From
the nation of Italy, replied the captain.
Theperplexed official again busily searched
the official book containing the flags of the
different nationalities, and then remarked.
81 find here no flag of Italy" 'But there is
an Italy," replied the captain, and from no
other nationality would he report his vessel.
Our government has received no official
notice of any change of Government in
Sicily, and must, therefore, act for the present
under the existing regulations, though in the
present case the captain persists in reporting
that be neither sails under the Sandman, the
Sicilian, the Neapolitan, but under the flag
of Italy!

The Lady Rlein Disoster-senatOr Sew


nrd's AIIusiOn TO the Calamity.
Senator Seward opened his speech at Mad
ison, Wisconsin, last Wednesday, with the
following beautiful allusion to the late Lake
disaster:
Fellow-citizens II is bright September
sun that is shining down upon us--such a
sun as nature, pleased with the remembrance
of her own benefcence, seems to delight in
sending forth to grace the close of a season
which has been crowned with abundance
and lnxuriance, unknown even to her own
profuseness. 1t is such sun as nature,
pleased with seeing the growth of a noble
capital in great State, may be supposed to
send out to illuminate and make more reful-
gent the magnificent beauties of the place
on which we are assembled. 1t is such a
September sun as we might almost suppose
nature, sympathizing with the efforts of good
men, lovers of liberty, anxious to secure
their own freedom, to perpetuate that free
dom for the enjoyment of their pOsterity,
and to extend its blessings throughout the
whole world and for all the generations,
may have sent forth in token of sympathy
with such noble race.
But, fellow-citizens, bright and cheerful
as this hour is, my heart is oppressed and
am unable at once to lift myself above the
sadness of the recent scenes and painful
recollections. obeyed the command of the
Republican people of Wisconsin, to appear
before them on this, the 18th day of Sep
tember, and as approached the beautiful sea-
port, if | may so call the city that crowns
the shores of Lake Michigan, and affords
entrance to this magnificent State, / had
anticipated, because had become habituated
to welcome that should be distinguished
by the light of thousand torches, aud by
the voices of music and of cannon. But the
angel of death passed Just before me on the
way, and instead of footsteps lighted with
the greeting of my fellow-citizens, found
only a thick darkness, increased as only ma
ture's darkness can be, by the weeping and
wailing of mothers for the loss of children,
and refusing to be comforted. have been
quite unable to rise from that sudden shock;
to forget that instead of the voice of a kind
and merry and genial welcome, heard only
mourning and lamentations in the streets
To you, perhaps, the scene seems some-
what foreign, because it occurred in your
beautiful seaport but it was not merely mu-
nicipal calamity. 1t is calamity and disas-
ter that beialls the State, and strikes home
horror and dismay to the bosoms of all its
people, for those were citizens of the State
who have perished, and those who survive
are mourners-the desolate widows and or.
| phans who are bereaved. Let me, before
| proceed, take the liberty to bring the subject
home to the State authorities of Wisconsin
| and to ask, and TO implore that nothing may
be left undone, if there is yet any thing that
can be done, to rescue a single sufferer from
that dreadful calamity, and to bring to the
comforts of social life, and of sound, good
religious and public education, the orphans
who are left to wander on the streets by the
lake side.

AN IMMENSE ENGLISH CHALK CLIFF-Pre-
PdratiOns for its estruetion.-Preparation
have been completed for the destruction of
an immense chalk cliff short distance from
Chatham, England. The cliff is estimated
to contain from 10000 to 10000 tuns of
chalk, and the quantity of gunpowder to be
used in the operation weighs in the aggre-
gate l,900pounds, distributed in charges of
from 400 to 500 pounds. The sappers and
miners have bored two immense shafts into
the summit of the cliff, and these have been
carried down to a considerable depth into
the solid chalk. From the base of the shafts
longitudinal galleries have been driven into
the cliff in various directions, to receive the
charges of gunpowder to be used in the un-
dertaking, and as several barrels of gunpow-

intervention with the CeleBttals.
The Trenton True Americdn contains
letter from on board the U. s. sloop-of-war
John adams dated Pagoda Anchorage, July
l, 1860, giving an account of little "Yankee
intervention" in that distant region:
The Pagoda Anchorage, Mr.. Naar, is nine
miles below Foo-Ohou. This is the head of
navigation in the River Min, and vessels of
commerce lie here while they receive their
cargoes of tea, which come down to the city
in small junks.
On the morning of the 25th of June, the
American Consul sent q dispatch that the
piratical junks were about to attack the city,
and wished an armed force to protect Ameri-
can and European citizens and interests.
Immediately eighty men were detailed, and
these, with one twelve-pound boat-howitzer,
assembled the river. Upon its arriving at
Foo-Chou, the heavily-armed Cantonese
junks were found engaged in a brisk fire
with the Chin-Chou junks between whom
there has existed an old feud-the origin of
which seems to have been that the Chin
Chou men killed some Canton men, and the
Cantonese failing to get any satisfaction
from the Mandarin authorities have used
the force at their command, consisting of
twenty-seyen armed junks, to redress their
wrongs. The firing continued the remainder

were shOtted, and consequently much less
damage was done however, there were many
Cinnamon killed on both sides. One large
grape-shot entered the house of one of the
missionaries connected with the "American
Board" and passed within few feet of the
place in which he was in the habit of sitting
to study.
In the evening one of our boats boarded
several of the junks, and gave them timely
warning that if any foreign lives or property
be injured in this little "muss" of theirs, they
might expect that moment to become pris-
oners themselves, their junks to be DESTROYED
and cables cut. They spoke strongly of
burning the property on the island in the
river, and which contains the gong of jar
dine h Co., but Battle Blowhard sat in the
balustrade of the house of 0liphant & Co.
until morning, watching for the conhagra-
ton, and says he saw nothing and only
heard the occasional tap Of a gong and the
busy hum of mosquitoes.
Upon the whole, we have won great deal
Of favor with the Mandarins and Viceroy of
the Province Of Fo-Kien. A Prefect came
to the American Consul and begged that we
would cause the Cantonese to cease firing,
because they were utterly powerless and un-
able to resist the feet. The visit before
spoken of was sufficient and the authorities
of Foo-Chou have expressed themselves as
being extremely grateful.
This is not all; the captain of the John
adams, through the consulate, obtained per-
mission to visit the Viceroy, a branch of the
highly favored than the British Admiral,
who was refused an interview.
After the men had been in garrison about
week, enjoying the bounty of the merchant
princes at o-Ohou, quiet was restored, and
the Canton armed junks evacuated the place.

A MAMMOTH Gun IN ENGLAND.-A muzzle-
loading gun, of large dimensions, weighing
about FIVE tuns has been received at Wool
witch, from Sir William Armstrong; factory
at Elswick, and is ordered for experiments
at Shoeburyness. The weight and propor-
tions of the projectiles to be used with the
gun have not been decided on, but is stated
as probable than an elongated shot, weigh
ing about eighty pounds, will be employed
in the experiments. The shot and shell are
grooved, while the gun itself three pro-

respond with the rifed shot. Much specula-
ton is afloat as to its adaptability, and the
experiments are looked forward to with

A SUSPICIOUS C1RoUMsTAEcE-A Stoindler
at LGrgs.-The Philadelphia North American
says:
We learn from the banks that frequent in
quiries have been made within day or two
to know whether a certain r. Benda has
money to his credit in the Philadelphia
Farmers and Mechanics Bank. The in
quiries emanate from numerous persons in
Canada and Niagara, where it appears that
Benda has been rendering checks to large
amounts, drawn upon the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank Of Philadelphia. As no
such person is depositor at the bank, it is a
fixed fact that any one taking his paper will
be badly victimized.
