gain, colonelcy commission. Pratt had
the hang of things, and he told Barstow
that Judge Cowles, Of New York, then in
St. Louis, could get the Colonel's commits

About tho Crown Of England.

Few persons have any idea OF the brillian'
cy and cost Of the imperial Crown, or Cap,
worn by Queen Victoria on certain State oc'
casions. Here arc few interesting items !:
It was made in 1888, by Mcsss. Rundell 4
Bridge Of London. II weighs 8 pounds,
8 IA ounces. troy or little over two and
four.fifths pounds avoirdupois. 1t contains
3,O75 jewels. consisting Of 2,7S3 diamonds,
277 pearls, II sapphires, II cmeralds, and
5rubies. They are catalogued thus large
ruby irrcgularly polished, l large broad.
spread sapphire, 10 sapphires, IL emeralds,
4, rubie,, 1868 brilliant diamonds, l,273
rose diamonds, ia table diamonds, 4 drop
shaped pearls. There are all placed upon q
cap Of crimson velvet, with border oferminc,
and lined with white silk. Tho jewels arc
arranged in the form Of bands, festoops,
arches composed Of diamonds arranged like
oak leaves and acorns, ono largo cross, four
Maltese crosses, etc.. I. Several Of the
most precious jewels belonged to former
crowns, and some of them have been in pos
session Of the Royal falily for 500 years or
more. As men estimate, the value Of tho
crown amounts to many millions Of dollars.
For real utility in itself, it is OF infinitely
less value than three pounds Of iron. To q
man cast away upon dcsolatc island, the
jcwclcd crown would be of no account, while
three pounds Of iron, in tho form Of rtecl,
fashioned into hatchet, knife, needles, etc.,
would add immensely to his comfort by
enabling him to obtain food and shelter, and
perhaps the means Of escape.

pected cessation Of foreign demand, we
shall have the fact that the country will be
entirely drained Of old stocks Of grain
probably more 50 than at any harvest for
several years past. This, ofitself, will have
a favorable effect upon prices, and should the
yield turn out below an average, prices will
bo likely to rule high. One practical con-
clusion to be drawn from the above state
ment is, that farmers should prepare to SOW
large breadth Of Spring wheat.
5th. Much will depend upon the course
of the war, and the financial policy adopted
by Congress. We look for the termination
Of the war within very brief period. 1t
may extend into the Summer, and perhaps
into Autumn, but this is scarcely probable.
The restoration Of peace will be likely to be
followed by sudden spring in all business
operations. activity in manufactures, and
high prices TOR all kinds Of farm produce.
A collapse will, perhaps, or probably follow,
and il behooyes farmers, at least, "to make
hay while the sun Shines" If the country
be flooded with a large amount Of Treasury
Notes, the price OF everything will go up in
proportion to the relative amount OF circu-
latinS medium. 1t will be a good time for
farmers to pay of their debts, and to avoid
contracting new ones to be paid at a less
favorable period. The most practical advice
we can now give to farmers, is to prepare for
the largest possible Spring planting and
sowing to save and use all the manure that
can by any means be made available, and be
ready for whatever may come. DO not be
carried away by speculation, however high
the current may run. Continue to practice
the lessons of economy learned during the
past dark period. Get the land and store
debts paid of. Be content with present
possessions, and not run into debt for more
acres. Look into and develop the farm lying
under that you now cultivate, which is al
ready yours in fec simple.

Mlseellaneous,
Report OF Committee on the Reform
School.

The Committee on the Reform School, hay-
ing attended to the duties imposed by an
order from both branches Of the Legislature,
directing us to visit the school, inquire into
its management and discipline, and thorough
ly investigate its finances, submit the rub
joined report.
The Committee were at this institution, a
part Of Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the
SOth and 3lst of January, and the lst day
of February, where we received the hospit-
able attentions Of the very geptlemsnly Su-
perintendent, the Hon. Seth Scaminan, and
his assistants.
During this time, we had pretty good
opportunity to become acquainted with the
moral, religious and educational functions Of
the institution, and some opportunity to in
ycstigate its financial operations.
With the former we are entirely satisfied ;
with the latter not so well satisfied.
The time OF the boys is devoted each day
as follows: TO sleep and rest Big hours ;
to devotional exercises. incidental duties and
recreation, 5 10 hours to labor, 6 hours ;
to study, recitations and school exercises, 4
hours.
On Sunday they have Sunday School and
other religious exercises. To these several
duties they repair under the direction Of
their Superintendent and his assistants, with
military precision and promptness.
The school whore the boys are instructed
in the various branches usually taught in our
primary schools, is graded.
The senior department under the care Of
Mr.. Berry, employed at salary of $500 per
anuum and subsistence, whom We thought
to be au excellent teacher and well qualified
for the important duties of the position. In
this department he has female assistant.
The junior department., under Miss Par
kcr, to whom we credit q respectable dis
charge OF her duties as instructress. She re-
ecives salary Of Sl56 per annuw.
At the commencement and close Of each
day, the Bible is read. Divine Grace is invok-
ed, and they with ono accord, join in sing.
ing. They seemed as happy as boys could
be.
The exercises in reading. spelling and de-
fining, the recitatious in grammar. arithmet-
ic and geography. in connection with the de-
votional exercises named. could not fail to
impress the visitor OF the wisdom and phi
lanthrupy Of the founders of this powerful
engine Of education and reform.
In the workshop, the boys were bottoming
chairs with cane, at five cents piece, under
the moro immediate supervision Of gradu-
ate from this institution, who is now employ
ed as oycrscer. ata respectable salary. They
appeared active. and each apparently en-
deayoring to rival oil the rest in FIRST raising
the hand, which is signal for more cane,
their very faithful ovcrcer, always upon the
watch tSsupply when the first allotment is
exhausted. Many Of these boys were able to
bottom six Of these chairs per day.
Two lessons in each week, are given IN
penmanship, and large number Of the boys
are good writers.
Nearly all of them seem to appreciate the
kindness Of their teachers and the value Of
their opportunities. evincing determination
to become educated and respectable citizens.

THE TWO WIVES.
A Norwegian Story.

There was once man called Gudbrand,
who lived in lonely little farmhouse on n
remote hillside. From this circumstance he
got the namo among his neighbors Of Gud-
brand OF the Hill.
Now, you must know that Gudbrand had
an excellent wife, as sometimes happens to u
man. But the rarest thing about II was,
that Gudbrand knew tho value Of such q
treasure; and 80 the two lived in perfect har-
mony, and giving themselves no concern
about either wealth or the lapse of years.
No matter what Gudbrand might do, his
wife had forcsecn and desired that very ramc
thing; so that her good man could not
touch or change or move anything about tho
house without her coming forward to thank
him for having OWNED and forcstallcd her
wishes.
Besides, It was easy for them to get along,
since the farm belonged to them, and they
had hundred solid crowns in drawer of
their closet and two excellent cows in their
stable. They lacked nothing, and could
quietly pass their old age without fear of
poverty or toll, and without having to look
to the friendship or the commseration ofany
of their fellow-crcatures.
One evening, while they were talking over
their various little tasks and projects, says
tho wife of Gudbrand to her husband
Husband, I've gotta new notion in my
head: you must take one of our cows to
town and sell her. Well keep the other.
