Public Morals nt Washington


The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune. one Of the leading abol-
ition papers of the Northwest, has recent
ly given an account of the state of morals
in and around the National Capitol. The
contrast which he represents is not very
flattering TO the Republican Administra.
ton. We republish the following para.
graph from his letter:
1.-The tone of morality here is consid
erably lower than it ever has been before.
This is admitted on all hands, and can be
proved, or rather needs no proof. for the
air is heavy with public and private guilt.
A few years ago. high Austrian official,
whose peculs;ions were discovered, app
lied the lancet TO his own veins, and anoth
er similarly situated hanged himself
There is no such sense Of shame here.
Any coroner's jury in Washington would
find verdict Of finsanity for such conduct
and the verdict would be accepted in good
faith. The Southerners, as class, had a
very nice sense Of honor SO far as the
public treasury was concerned Floyd
was an exception--almost solitary ex.
ception-to the rule. When they held
the power here. there was comparatively
little thieving, and when any was discov
cred. it WAS properly exposed aud denoun
ced. There has been change--a dread
tul change for the worse. TIE frauds and
attempted frauds on the treasury, in ore
channel and another. come so fast, and
from such pectod quarters. that one
IS bewlldered in contemplating them
Yet nobody has been brought to justice.
and nobody seems TO think it possible that
anybody should be brought to Justice
oh. those rascally con,ractersp SAYS
some honest man in the rural districts
For every dollar wroHgfully taken by a
contractor. five have been taken by pub.
lie servants
This certainly is alarming. Why is it
tolerated by an Administ: :ation which came
into power protesting honesty. and prom
ising retrenchment and reform? Will
honest men stop and investigated States.

Very likely somebody trying the above will
feel inclined not to manure all exactly alike,
but to try some ashes or plaster, or something
else ON part or to use two or more kinds
Of seed, to see which yields the best; or in
some other way to vary from the formula
prescribed-but before you yield to the temp
tation. remember that il you do SO, the value
of the experiment has gone so far as its in

and farmers in Maine try the experiment and
each faithfully report his results, and there
will be such pile of evidence got together

A Dying Soldier Prays for the President.

post out near Chain Bridge, on the Upper
Potomac. He was convicted; his sentence
was death the finding was approved by the
General, and the day fixed for his execution.
He was youth Of more than ordinary intel.
ligsnce he did not beg for pardon, but was
willing to meet his fate. The time drew
near the stern necessity Of war required
that an example should be mado Of some one;
his was an aggravated case. But the case
reached the ears Of the President; he re.
solved to save him he signed pardon. and
sent It out; the day came.
"Supposc," thought the President, "my
pardon has not reached him" The tele-
graph wascalled into requisition /; an answer
did not come promptly. "Brins up my car
riage," he ordered. Il came, and soon the
important state papers were dropped, and
through the hot broiling sun and dusty
roads ho rode to the camp, about ten miles,

How to take Care Of tho Hair.

As to men, we say, when the hair begins
to fall out, the best plan is to have 1t cut
short, give it good brushing with moder-
ately stiff brush, while the hair is dry; then
wash it well with warm soap suds; then rub
into the scalp, about the roots Of the hair,
q little bay rum, brandy. or camphor water.
Do these things twice month; the brush.
ing of the scalp may be pro6tably done twice
a week. Damp the hair with water every
time the toilet Is made. Nothing ever made
is better for the hair than pure soft water, II
the scalp Is kept clean in the way We have
named. The use Of oils or pomatums, or
grease Of any kind, is ruinous to the hair Of
man or'woman. We consider It q filthy
practice, almost universal though 1t be, for
IL gathers dust and dirt, and soils whatever
II touches. Nothing but pure soft water
should ever be allowed on the heads Of chill
II is different practice that robs our women
Of their most beautiful ornament long before
their prime; the hair Of our daughters should
be kept within two inches until their twelfth
year.-Hairs Journal Of Sieahh.

Grow Corn for your Cows.

This is an important subject, and merits
the consideration Of every owner Of neat
stock. There is, perhaps, scarcely farmer
in the country who may not, by q provident
and timely forecast, in great measure pro-
vide against the misfortune Of an unfavor-
able season. For instance, il is not in hu-
man wisdom to be prescient OF the future, to
foresee in the spring whether the summer
will be characterized by excessive drouth or
otherwise and farmers even, notwithstand-
ing their former long experience and close OBJ
seryation cannot know months in advance
whether their pasture will be sufficient or in-
sufficient to maintain their stock in full con-
dition, hence the gYater merit in those who
apprehend the worst and provide for 1t. All
this may easily be done, merely by cultivat-
ing an extra patch Of corn the size Of which
will depend upon the number Of the stock it
is intended to supply. II may be planted
thickly in drills or strips, two or three inches
in width, or in hills about half Of the usual
distance apart in the row, at the discretion
Of the grower. II is sometimes sowed broad
cast, and when this is done liberal qaantity
Of seed should be used but this mode is
perhaps most Objectionable Of any, as it pre-
cludes the possibility Of after cultivation
The variety best suited for this purpose is
that known as Stowcll's Evergreen Corn, and
second to this is the common sweet corn, both
Of these being extraordinary rich in sachar-
inc matter.
The proper cultivation Of corn, though
designed for fodder, should in no case be ne
elected, as it often occurs that the amount
of produce obtained from the land is in pro-
portion to the care bestowed in raising it.
When the corn is half grown it may be used
If required, for feeding to cattle, by cutting
out every second row, leaving the remainder
for larger growth. Cattle are always very
fond Of green, succulent corn and when fed
to milch cows, it is found not only to in
crease the quantity of milk, but also to i'm
prove the quality Of the butter. For feed
ing, green corn may be planted from about
the beginning Of June to the middle Of Ju-
ly, at intervals Of fortnight between each
planting, and thus secure an abundance Of
feed for the cattle until the pastures are
again restored by the fall rains. It's besides
an excellent practice for reducing rough, tur-
fy, woodland to a state Of cleanliness and
good tilth, and is the best fallow crop in the
world to precede a crop Of wheat.
