Cars in the Desert.

Mr.. Russell, the well-known Crimean re-
porter Of the London Times, gives most
interesting sketch Of a run through portion
of the Arabian desert BY the new railway
route. We subjoin an extract
"Blanched bones Of camels lie in dull
whileness on the sands. Not bird fans the
hot and silent air. Stones and sand ard
sand and stones are all, and everywhere
stretched out dead and hard under the blue
sky ard the relentless sun. The rail which
conveys US through this desolation is single
and the line is said by English engineers to
he very badly made, as the French engineers
who laid it out took it over a ridge eleven
hundred feet high, instead of following low
evel near the river, which would have great
ly diminished expense and cost of working.
The water and coal for the engines are to be
carried by the trains out to the various sta
ions. So they are like commissariat ami
mails in barran country, which have to Car.
ry their own fodder and diminish the public
Durthens.
These stations are helpless, hot, oven-like
erections, generally eked out by old Crimean
wooden huts, within the shade of which NAV

MS pipe. At the twelfth station we coaled

ing intervals, for miles in advance, we coulJ
see the encampment of Arabs, who for tn,
time had become navvies, and were engaged
in picking and burrowing and blasting
through the rocks way for the iron horse
In a long wooden shed-the center of ;
| group of tents-were laid out long tables
covered with hot joints of reconcile animals
papier-mache chickens and Ignite vegetables
This was our dinner-it had come all thu

DRYING HAY.

The idea is common that hay cannot bt
made too much, but it is an erroneous one
and great loss is incurred by its prevalence.
If exp"sed too !ong to the sun, ard the hot
drying winds, it becomes hard, brittle, loses
It's leaves, and a considerable portion of its
nutritive juices, and in this condition, if the
grass is coarse, the hay from it is not much
better than dried brush at any rate. its val
ue is much deprecated. The farmer may
learn something of his wife in this matter, il
he will observe what course she takes in pre-
serving her sage or other herbs, for culinary
or medicinal uses. They are not cut ard
spread in the blazing sun. and the juices
blown away by the winds. but when cut art
taken directly into the shade, where they will
dry slowly. This is the practice with the
Shakers who put up large quantities of herbs
tor the markets they incur heavy expenses
for large drying rooms, where their herbs are
out of the sun but in well ventilated rooms.
When these herbs are thoroughly dried, SO
that they can be readily pulverzed, they re-
tain very nearly their natural color and orig
lnal fragrance. So that one pound of them is
probably worth as much as two or three
pounds would be dried in the sun. But as
we cannot provide rooms for drying our
grass crops, We must come as near that
process as we can economically, land that MAY
be secured by the use of cloth coverings,

fair price, already made, of the Messrs. Cha
SEES Il Fay, 233 State Street, Boston, or of
Nourse 4 Co., 81 Merchants Row. A set of
these caps, we'll taken care of, will last far
mer his lifetime, as all the care they need is
to be kept dry when not in use.
The course to be pursued in the use of
caps is, to cut the grass just at night or ear
ly in the morning, spread it and turn it be-
fore one o'clock, and Immediately after din.
ner cock and cover with the caps. Cocks
well made up. and covered with such caps a,
We have described above, will come out un
harmed after storm CT three or four days
After a rain, when the surface has becom,
dry and slightly heated, the cocks will neee
little more than to Le TUNED over and par
TALLY opened, for it will be found that the
process Of making has been going on admir-
ably all the time-that the hay is cured, no
merely dried-that the leaves adhere to tn,
stems, and that it retains lively green colo
and delicious fragrance. Take such cocl
of hay and compare it with cock that ha
not been covered, allowing the eyes, nose ant
haEds each to test it, and no unprej udicet
mind will longer doubt the usefulness and c
economy of hay caps.-N. L. Farmer.

Is II Right,

Mr.. EDIroR "A question has of late
frequently occurred to my mind. as
passed to and fro across the Railroad
in the vicinity of Bedford street. A
troop of lads may be seen daily. besieg-
ing each coal train as i. passes along,
throwing off lump after lump, coolly and
deliberately, and then, filling their bar
rows. coaches, bags, baskets, or what
ever they have come provided with. they
hasten with their booty to their homes,
and speedily return for another haul.
My own btock Of coal needs replenish-
ing, and it occurred INC as cheap mode
of preparing for the storms of Winter,
provided could obtain an affirmative
answer to the query above alluded to,
Wis Has tho Coal Company granted
the privilege to the citizens of Cumber-
land to help themselves from the trains
as they pass-or do our city fathers wink
ct the practise as a consideration for the
right Of ways. Never having observed
these youths interrupted although the
practise is pursued in broad day, have
been led to conclude that it must DO prop
or, either from law or custom. fla
negative reply is given. darkness
that may be felt" settles down upon my
better nature, and forces the reflective

| at such a threat toward such a citizen.
But Mr., Peyton begged Col F. to re-
main whsre he was, and leave Mr.. Hay.
mes to hin.
Itswas done; and when Mr.. Peyton
came to reply, and to allude to this scene
honorable tear rolled down his cheeks.
Then aud there spoke the orator and the
patriot; and the crowd was swayed by
him as though it had been reed shaken
by the wind.
Those who witnessed it will never for
get it.
The question, it seems, embarrassed
Colonel Haynes so miserably that he
made almost an idiot of himself. He
hadn't the courage to 60 with his friends
30 far as TO declare that he would dissolve
the Union for Mr.. Lincoln's election; he
said he would wait for an overt act, but
fearing that this would MORALLY exasper-
ate the fire-eaters, he must proceed to say
that upon the commission Of what he
nigh deem "the first overt act" he, no
longer an elector, but mere private cis-
izen, would summon Colonel Ferguson,
another private citizen, and 60 right on
to Washington and proceed at once upon
his own hook to hang the President up
on. probably, some other hook, and that
be would with grape vines not only Col.
Ferguson, but all other private citizens
who should decline to obey his personal
summons, and 60 with him upon his
hanging expedition to Washington.
So here we have the response of ONE
Breckenridge elector to the Norfolk
questions. Now let us hear what the
rest have got to say. Pass the questions
along.-Shout them everywhere. Let
not an opportunity BIO lost. -Ricemond

Dear Sir 1T is most strange to me that
any cotton or sugar planter should, Tor Ole
moment allow the thought of disunion to Ell
ter his mind and yet there are too many
by far too many, fear-who indulge in such
thoughts. Any man of sense and reflection
cannot fail to see that, after disunion, we
woald be in no bettor condition in any one
respect, and in almost all respects infinitely
worse. Our taxes alone would consume more
than one quarter Of our products; for. under
a southern republic, there would be no pre-
MUM collected from imports, but all derived
from direct taxation, and to an enormous e1-
tent. If Lincoln is elected, there will be u
ST. ong effort to dissolve the Union i'll the ex-
treme South, without waiting to test him by
his acts This would be monstrous, indeed !;
yet there is great fear 1t will be attempted -
1t is the spite in the democratic party, and
consequent bitter hatred and indicative de-
nunciation which now pervade the course OF
both wings that will secure the success OF
Bell and Everett in Louisiana. A party that
has shown itself incapable of governing itself
surely ought not to DO trusted with the gov
crnment of the country. Nothing can pre-
vent the election of Lincoln but tho with
drawal of both Breckinridge and Douglas, or
an uprising Of the people such as there was
in 1910, in a discrimination to put down both
parties. Q If there be a pros
