While the people of the United States
are jealousy opposed to large stand
ING army in times Of peace, they mani
fest in themselves no lack Of that mill
tary spirit which speedily recruits armies
when necessity calls, and they have that
knowledge and experience 10 the use OF
arms. which makes them as militia the
most effective in the world, and the most
easily converted into disciplined and
regular troops. Accustomed to the use
of arms from childhood, even where no
better game exists for the marskman's
shot than the squirrel and the rabbit,
the robin and the woodcock,a large por-
ton Of the young men become dextrous
in the use Of firearms. and familiar with
the most intricate mechanism connected
with their make SO that few of our cit
liens become men without a kind OF
hidden military spirit, ready to burst in
to activity when occasion calls.
We also witness superiority in the
guns manufactured in this country, over
those of European make; which is &C.
counted for upon the ground Of supe.
rior intelligence and mechanical genius,
acted upon by this military spirit.
Sharpe's rifles, Colts revolvers, and
our marine guns, are confessedly supe'
rior to any of foreign manufacture. Our
new steam vessels for the navy are the
the admiration of all Europe. and in our
military academies the art of war is SO
taught that the most accomplished Off
GERS are secured to command land and
naval forces. Almost every dwelling
house in the West has its rifle and its
shotgun while in the East the shotgun
is found in almost every family. Pistols
have become as numerous as our voting
population, and familiarity with their
use is no uncommon thing.
No other people On the earth can neg
lect military training as we do, and pre-.
serve its national existence for month
against foreign invasion. While the
FIRST tocsin of war would bring together
tens Of thousands of hardy, intelligent
and enthusiastic soldiery, undisciplined
but quickly taught in the manGuvres o
regular troops, because Of their intelli
gence and familiarity with the use {
arms. There is no dull, antomaton move
ment in an American army. 1t is
steady impctuosity which the spir
of liberty gives to our people, ths
makes them invincible in actor
They can be moved down like gras

LIVE CATTLE WEIGHED BY MEAsURE-The
only instrument necessary is a measure with
feet and inch marks upon it. The girth is the
circumference Of the animal just behind the
shoulder blades. The superficial feet are OBJ
tanned by multiplying the girth and length.
The following table contains the rule to ascer-
tain the weight of the animals:
If less than one foot in girth, multiply super
fetal feet by eight. -
If less than three and more than one, multi
ply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three multi
ply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than Eve, multi
ply superficial feet by twenty three.
If less than nine and more than seven, mul-
tiply superficial feet by thirty three.
If less than eleven and more than nine mul.
tiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Example Suppose the girth of bullock to
be six feet three inches; length FIVE six inches:
the superficial area will then be thirty -four,
and, In accordance with preceding table, the
weight will be seven hundred and eighty two
pounds. -' -''E
Example: Suppose pig to measure in girth
two feet, and length one foot and nine inches
There would then be three and s-half feet.
which, multiplied by eleven, gives thirty-eight
snd-a- half pounds as the weight of the animal
when dressed. In this way the weight of four
quarters can be substantially ascertained dur.
ing life. sT -- a4

1--WE copy the following from the Buffalo
Daliy Courier Of the 11th inst part of the pro-
ceedings OF the National Teachers Associations:
Dr. McJilton, Of Baltimore, was called to the
stand, and delivered a lecture on the sqmport-
ance OF the Teachers Profession in a National
view The address showed the gentleman to be
a genuine, conservative, Union-loving son of
Maryland. He set forth in logical and earnest
terms the absolute necessity for the maintens u
Of our Republican form Of Government In fact,
the burden of his discourse consisted in thor
consideration and enforcement Of this wholesome
doctrine. With the teachers of America, he con-
tended, rest In great degree the political future
OF the country. The Teachers Association, he
said, should have two ends In view.-frst, the
arranging Of means for the thorough education of
the nation; second, the procurement of Govern
mental cooperation in the accomplishing of this
end. He claimed that the teachers of American
youth has duty to perform involving high re-
possibilities shared by teachers of no other ma
tion. To meet responsibilities be bespoke the
best and noblfst efforts Of every man and woman
OF the Association. Labor in union and union
In labor, !" he recommended as a motto
On motion Of Mr. Richards, DR.. McJilton was
thanked and asked for a copy of his address.

An Ex-GovERNoR's sAMUsEMENrs.-A Jen-
kins of the Norfold Day Book lately visited
Ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, at his retreat,
Rollston, near Norfolk, and, among other
things, says: /" The Governor is quite a boat
man, and an evidence of it is that, beside a
small feet Of sail and row. boats at his landing,
there were no less than eight miniature sail
boats at his house, all of which had been con-
structed and rigged by his own hands They
are of different models and rig, and have af-
forded this distinguished gentleman and his
children no little amusement in frequent re-
gattas, on a small scale, in which an Eastern
Shore schooner-rigged pungy, about eighteen
or twenty inches long, has usually been the
champion, and has thus far won all the races
The Governor b built boat after boat in hop, 9
OF finding some model that would beat her,
but thus far without success. The neat man
ner in which these little vessels are construct
ed and rigged, as well as their beautiful pro-
portions, give evidence Of the fact that the
Governor is quite an adept in the art, and the
ready manner in which he enters into the
sport OF sailing them with his smaller children
gives evidence Of the fact that he has heart
and that /" it's in the right place.
