that the proprietor of a saw mill, not far
from Santa Cruz, the other day discharged
three of their men, on account of their seces-

cheered Justify for JEFF Davis and the South

consolation for the less of their situation.

reference to the Scott excitement at San

treason, let the officers of the law deal with
him; if lie has not, but has only come near
enough to it to insult the sensibilities of the

lie ten times greater man than he is, he
would not be worth one-tenth of the fuss
made about him by either enenies or friends.

Suicides in Japan.

A religious custom is often spo-
ken Of by writers upon Japan, and
that is the self-sacrifce of the
more enthusiastic priests in their
desire to inherit more quickly the
blessings of the future state. The
neighborhood of the great religious
College Of Conay is especially men,
toned as the scene of these sui
cides. This College of Conay APP
pears to be close to the ancient city
Of Serunga, about half way be-
tween Jeddo and Osaca. 1t was
visited in lS49 by a Dutch En-
bassy, who say hither repair all
the learned of Japan to dispute in
theology and philosophy, and they
appear to have witnessed some of
these suicidal attempts to reach
Paradise. The enthusiasts usual
ly announced their intention of
proceeding to the other world on a
given day, and expressed a willing
ness to undertake any commission
for departed friends or relatives.
They carefully noted down all
such messages in books carried for
the purpose, they loaded their
wallet with aims, and armed them
selves with sharp scythe to clear
the road of the many thorns and
briars said to impede the paths of
Paradise. Thus equipped, the
poor creatures would embark on a
deep lake in small canoe; pad
ding out a distance they attached
heavy weights to their bodies and
sprang into the water, whilst their
admiring fraternity calmly regard
ed them as men much to be envied,
and took care that the canoe should
be burnt with fire, as a vessel toe
sacred to be ever defiled by being
applied to less noble purposes.

Wise alla qtter mise.
Glad TO GET Home.

A correspondent of the Cincin
natl Times, lately alluded to a
number of fugitive negroes who
were voluntarily returning to
their masters. A second letter,
from the steamer on board which
they were, dated at Napoleon,
Arkansas, makes further mention
iof them:
The negroes returning into
slavery, mentioned in my last let
ter, disembarked at this point
So DESTROYS were they to get on
shore, that they could hardly be
restrained from jumping from the
boat before it landed. Their eyes
sparkled, and they grinned from
one ear to the other at the pros
pect of once more returning to
their old homes. One of the wo-
men exclaimed
"Bress God! Pse at home now,
and no one ell eber catch dis child
gwine way agin; Use gwine to
stay at home, l Isl" and she fairly
danced again in the exuberence of
her feelings. On the wharf boat
they were met by one whom l
took to be their owner, who re-
ceived them cordially, and was
evidently delighted to see them.
He examined them critically, and
| heard him say to one
"Wby, Jane, You don't look so
hearty as you did; you amt sick,
are you?"
mo, Massa, | amt sick as |
knows on, but Use mighty tired
and worried, and dis child wants
to get home"
They were evidently well known
in Napoleon, for many came up
and shook hands with them while
on the wharf boat. One of the
passengers informed me that yes
terday he was standing by one of
the colored women, who was busily
ironing. All at once she stop
ped, and throwing up her arms,
ooh, golly, isn't glad Use near
homel'
So much for the returned slaves,
who tasted the ''sweets of liberty"
but, incomprehensible to rabid
Abolitionists, preferred the bitters
of slavery.

SMALL DEBTs.-Nothing does
more to soften hard times, or to
sustain credit, than prompt pay
ment of small bills. BY paying
your small bills, you enable your
creditor to pay the storekeeper,
the storekeeper pays bills he owes
TO others, and the same money,
passing through a half dozen hands,
pays as many debts, and leaves
the parties at ease. But if the
first one fails through neglect or
carelessness, or indifference, to pay
the debt he owes, it breaks the
chain, and all are disappointed
And yet man who would not fail
to meet heavy demand, nor have
his note protested on any account
whatever, will put off paying his
small bills, time after time, with
out a thought.

MANURE CELLARS,

OIUcU Us we nave SET iOfJl TIT
Importance of these cellars, or pits
for the manufacture and preserva
ton Of manure, we feel that hal
has not been told. Our own sue
cessful use of such a cistern in
duces us to speak oft now. The
farmer must prosper, if at ell, by
savings as well as earnings. /
the bankers vault should have only
asmall hole where his deposits coulc
be constantly filched away, il
would diminish his annual gains
decidedly. So, if the farmers
stock of manure is continually
wasting in sun, and wind, and rain
he is a great and continual loser.
Manure, mixed from time to
time with straw, leaves, and other
refuse matter, in the open barn
yard, is better than that which is
umcared for but dung, both liquid
and solid, carefully saved in COW
cred pit, and mixed every few
days with plaster, charcoal dust,
dry muck, etc, absorbing every
particle of urine, and preventing
the escape Of ammonia, is better
still.
Our readers are, perhaps, some
what familiar with the different
methods of making these cellars.
We will however, briefly say thet
they may be dug out of the ground
four or six feet deep, and as wide
as may be wanted, then planked
up firmly or laid up with hewn
logs, the crevices damned with
clay, or they may be built of stone,
laid in water-lime cement. They
may be put underneath the sta
bles, or partly under and partly
outside, but constructed so as to
receive the daily cleanings of the
stalls. If under the barn, the
floors overhead should be made
very tight, so as to prevent the
rising of pungent odors into the
stalls and lofts above.
The providing Of good absor-
bentS for use in the cellars is a
very important matter. If one
has access to apeat bog he is well off.
If not let him 60 to the borders of
his several fields, where the pillow
and hoe do not reach, and where
the turf has become thick and rich;
let him cart off an abundance of
this, and stack it up under the
barn where it will be kept dry.
As his manure is thrown into the
cellar, let this also go in to keep it
company, little at a time, and
often. On lacking such turf, let
him use forest leaves, rotten chips,
scrapings from the road side, or
saw. dust, or spent tan-bark. Be
sure and provide as much in bulk
of this material as there Will be of
manure.
This work of gathering up ma
terials for compost may be done at
odd spells, when the regular labors
of the farm do not press. Gather
up everything, and remember that
every little helps. We are tired
hearing farmers complain of their
hard lot, their scanty manure, bad
seed, bad tools, bad horses, bad
everything, when the farmer is
more to blame than all besides
Let such fault-finders bestir them
selves, and act with more energy
and forethought. As to manure
saving, we have suggested above
one method, and good one; but the
method of this and many other
things is not so important as the do
sng of it. Who will do it?
