How to Manage Bones.

A correspondent of the journal of Agri-
culture gives the following as his experience,
every other year, for the past ten years;
that being as often as he could collect bones
enough to fill tub:
With a slcdge hammer break the bones
into pieces Of one or two, two or three in
ctcs take hogshcad tub, put in two or
three inches of hard wood ashes, the same
depth of bones, then ashes and bones until
full pound or press solid as convenient; fill
with water or urine, all that it will absorb
If done in the spring or summer, by the
next spring it will shovel out fully decom-
posed, the bones being soft as chalk
Then add all your hen manure, shovel
and rake it over once week, for three or
four weeks before planting time; by that
time it will be finely powdered. Put about
equal to handful of compost into hill,
for corn, potatoes, s1uashes, melons, &c
when it will be found to forward the crops
in wonderful degree.
E.s Southcy, in his ''Omniana," relates
the following:
"Whcn l was lastin Lisbon, nun made
her escape from the nunery. The first
thing for which she inquired when she reach
ed the house in which she was to be sccretcd,
was looking glass. She had entered the
convent when only five years old, and never
seen her own face. There was some excuse
for her.
Say, Peter johnson, is swords 'bolished
in the army?''.

EN A man who cheats in short measure
is measureless rouge. If in whiskey, then
he is a rouge in spirit. If he gives bad
title to land, he is a rouge in deed. If he
gives short measure in wheat, then he is a
rouge in grain. And if he cheats when he
can, he is in deed, in spirit, in grain a
measurcless scoundrel

An Arrival from Richmond.

A gentleman has come to Washington dl-
rect from Richmond, via Norfolk, where he
was sent with flag of truce He has been
held in custody by the Confedetates at Rich
mond for about two months, although he was
a civilian, and had no connection with our
army operations. 1t is the opinion of this
gentleman that the Confederatcs have two
hundred and fifty thousand men in Virginia,
and that the force is being rapidly auymen-
ted He says it was one continual stream of
troops passing through Richmond for the scat
of war, He saw the Howell Cobb regiment
of Cavalry pass through Richmond, and he
thinks he never saw more perfectly cauip-
ped and better appearing regiment. He
says all the Confederate troops that he saw
appeared to be fairly clothed and we'll shod
Provisions, he thinks, are plenty, and tina
the Confedcrates have an abundance of tn
actual nccessaries of life. He says our mer
who were taken prisoners are badly treated.
especially since the escape of some of th.
prisoners. He represents the case of Lieut..
Selden as particularly. hard

Trial Of an English Steam Plough.


Yesterday morning steam plough, the
invention of Mr. John Fowler, Jr. Of Lon
don, was tried before committee of the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Society. The
trial was superintendent by Mr.. II. w. Ed
dison in whose charge the plough, with its
machinery, had been sent from England to
this country. The spot selected for the
testing of the instrument was large field a
short distance from the Lazaretto station,
on the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad.
At one end of the field was twelve horse
power engine, which caused wheel to re-
volve horizontally. Connected with the
wheel of the engine, and also with similar
one attached to the anchor" which was
about three hundred and fifty yards distant,
was an endless chain made strongly of wire.
10 this chain was fastened the plough. which,
by the power of the engine, was thus made
to traverse the distance between it and the
anchor and return. The plough, which was
mounted on two wheels, had eight tcn-inch
flanges, four at one end, and four at the
other
AS the plough was propelled towards the
anchor, the four f1anges in the rear furrowcd
the earth to the depth of six or eight inches,
and width of forty, the Aanges in the front
being high in the air, owing to the weight
of the driver being over the rear fanges,
causing that portion of the plough to press
the Garth while the other was elevated In
returning to the engine the process was re-
vcrscd. The front hanges became the rear,
and thus the necessity of turning the plough
is obviated
The plough was guided by the driver,
who. by means of windcrs attached to it,
was also enabled to lcngthcn the chain or
shorten it as occasion might require. The
waving of the flag by the driver was sig
nal by which the plough could be immcdi-
ately stopped or put in motion. There was
also an arrangement for regulating the depth
to which the soil was 10 be furrowed.
Although the ground selected for the trial
was-ef f-s. JesSe tzsrn- Il nn1sar4ea
the course Of the plough. Five minutes
was the time occupied by the plough in
travcrsing the distance between the engine
and the anchor Mr. Eddison claims that
the implement will plough at the rate of one
acre per hour, and that with twelve Aangcs
he can accomplish twice that amount of work
About eighteen or twenty acres could thus
be ploughcd per day.
Mr.. E1dison states that one acre per hour
can be ploughcd with an engine of eight
horse power. Two men and three boys are
required to manage the machine. One man
attends the engine, another acts as plough
driver, and the boys arc employed in ad
justing the chain and the anchor.
The whole of the apparatus connected
with the plough, cost in England eight huu-
dred pounds sterling These ploughs are
land at the present time.

WHAT A GOOD WIFE DOES NOT DO.

She never abuses her husbands confidence
She never prefers charges against him ir
the presence of others, or confides the stor,
OF her marital wrongs to comparative stran-
gers. She never tells other people that he
does not bring home money cnou gh to kccr
the house in food, clothc her and the chill
dren, pay the rent, and appear respectable
She never makes pompous reference to rela-
tons who would rather 60 without them,
selves than see her and the children starve.
She never questions the ability of her hus-
band to earn sufficient money at his trade or
in his business, or seeks to render him in
competent and ridiculous in the sight of
others. She never usurps authority, or
makes him the willing or unwilling instru:
mcnt of her resentment, petty spites, or
malignant malice.
A good wife never does anything of this
kind she would rather screen her husbands s
faults than to hold them up to consure She
would rather mend and patch old garments
fer her children than go to her friends for a
loan. A good wife is always mildly proud,
independent, sclf-denying, loving, seldom
finding fault, but always cndcavoring to
render her home, be it ever so humble, as
sunny and comfortable as her husbands cir
cumstances will permit We are religious
y convinced that if wives, as rule, treated
their husbands with moro respect, and re-
posed more confidence in their integrity. So
ciety would be spared many of the painful
revelations which daily appear in the news
paper press. Husbands should be led not
driven.
But some hcart-brokcn wife NAV ask
what should be done with that husband who
will neither be led nor driven? Let uniform
love and kindness rule all your acts toward
him. But if he will still render your life
miserable, after you have done all that duty
requires you to do, your own wcll-being re-
quircs that your destinics be separated. -
Marriage is relation in which the obliga-
tions arc not all upon the side of the wife.
The husband has his share of them also.-
It is a relation instituted for the mutual
benefit of husband and wife-for the mutual
happiness, of both. But, if instead of hap
plness, misery and wrctchedness result,
thrpngh the long continued delinquency Of
oIe Of the t&sia.; ands&here is no hope Of
y : e e :. {. q = -
live en- in continued privetion and sorrow.
Many wretched pair drag on through life
together, rather than resort to this step,
feeling it to be dishonorablc And SO it is,
if there be children. But, is it
not better than a life Of hopeless suffering
and anguish. 1t is step, not to be taken,
however, without first cxhausting every
other means of amendment.

Use of Tobacco.

Young men arc apt to have notion that
it is manly and soldicr-likc to smoke. The
great Napoleon was certainly soldier as
will not be disputed and perhaps the first
soldier of modern times. Let us hear his
testimony in regard to the use of tobacco.
Having been persuaded to try smoking, he
very briefly and forcibly expressed his opin-
ion Of it thus: Away with it What an
abomination Oh the hogw And he re-
nounced forever the pleasures of habit
which lie said was only fit to amuse slug
CARDS.
There has been recently excited in the
medical and scientific minds of France and
England a deep and strong conviction of the
evil effects of tobacco, and of the necessity
Of checking it's rapidly increasing uso.-
Chewing is but little known, except among
sailors, i'll any country but America.
Last year the government of France made
an estimate of the effects of the use of tobac-
co in the colleges and academies of that
country. The young men attending these
Institutions were divided into classes those
who smoked and those who did not-and
their physical and intellectual standing COM
pared. The result was that those who did
not use tobacco were found to be stronger
in body, and better scholars, than those who
did. What was the consequence Louis
Napoleon 'one of the good things which
he has done" says an English writcr-im-
mediately caused the Minister of Public In
structon to issue an edict that no smoking
should be permitted in any college, school,
Or academy. And Louis Napoleon is no
fool; he has an eye eminently to the
physical and military power of France.
Thus Gin one day he put uthirty thousand
pipes in Paris alone" Let our youth and
young men, who are struggling against the
instincts of nature and common sense, to
acquire what they foolishly fancy to be the
manly habit of smoking, put that into their
pipes and smoke it,
The strongest evidence. and the highest
testimony, almost without limit, might be
brought to prove that the use of tobacco is
inconsistent with the highest health and
strength; that it is constant drain upon
the vitality of the system. The testimony
of all writer's, even of the advocates and
slaves of the weed themselves, is that to the
young-to boys and very young men it is
only and alcoys cell.

to be great effort to keep up the excitement

Telegram after telegram follow each other

Sumter would or would not be give up, as
the case might be, but the people have about
concluded that no reliance whatever car be
placed upon these rumors. 1t is very proba-
Die II at the administration keeps its own

Senator Sherman.

We hail with pleasure the election OF John
Sherman as United States Senator from Ohio,
to succeed Gov Chase. Not but that other
excellent selections might have been made
for all the candidates were worthy-but MIR
Sherman was best known to the country at
large, and his qualifications peculiarly fit him
for the Senate at this time. Though not
quite thirty-eight years cid, Mr. Sherman has
served three terms in the lower House of
Congress with marked ability. His efficiency
on the famous Kansas Investigating Commit
tee first drew public attention to him, which
was fixed by his subsequently displayed skill
as a parliamentary tactician. On the assem-
bling of the Thirtv-Sixth Congress he was Sc
lected with great unanimity as the republican
candidate for speaker But the peculiar COM
position OF the House rendered the NONSENSE
cal hue and cry of "Helperism' sufficient to
cause the withdrawal of Mr. Sherman, land the
substitution of Mr. Pennington in his place
with better success. But, like the tabled gi-
ant of old, Mr. Sherman touched the ground
only to gain strength. and we have no doubt
that it was mainly owing to the intrepdity
tact, and untirlng energy with which, as
chairman of the committee of WAYS and means
he drove through the business of the House
that he has now been promoted to the United
States Senate.
He will take his seat at an opportune peri.
3D. The withdrawal of three such men as
Seward, Chase and Cameron-each signally
effective within his own sphere-leaves void
which it concerns the country and the repub-
lcan party to limit as much as possible. =
And We think the republicans Of Ohio have
done their duty in the premises The admin
istratior viii nave in HIr Sherman a skillfu
and effective champion in debate, and tn.
country will have wise, libcral-minded and
Woodworking public servant, whose future
cannot but be brilliant and benefcent.- Bos
