The PARDON OF GEN. GANrT.-The pardon
OF Hon. E. w. CAN'T, of Arkansas, by the
President, is wise act of clemency. Mr..
CAN'T assumed his position as Union man,
turned his back on the rebellion, and did
Justice to the Union men who had been his
former opponents, without calculating his
own fate. He was a pioneer when there was
danger to him in going on and returning
He has been as jealous as Paul, as he was
relentless and prosecuting as rebel Saul
1t will be of course most gratifying to him
and encouraging to others, who are impress
ed in secret with his ideas, to come out and
take open position. The act Of the President
in this matter is a fit indication of the vital
power with which he intends to invest his
latest Proclamation.

Therefore, to pay actual cost and expenses
the steer must be sold for $l13 66 when fat
After having put this steer through the above
process he should be fat and weigh about
l,4oo lbs, for which the highest market price
is but $3.50 per 100 lbs, realizing for the
steer when fat, just $63 90. which deducted
from the $1l3 Sc, the value Of the steer be-
fore feeding, leaves, instead Of profit, the
round sum of $50 &C actual loss in one
steer.
Hence the correspondent concludes that
the farmer who sells his cattle unfattened at
$3.50 per hundred pounds, and his corn and
hay, makes the most money. He adds:
"There are certain indices which think
it would be we'll for both farmer and cattle
dealer to observe, which may be stated thus
To make one pound of beef or pork requires
six pounds Of good corn, fed in the most econ
omical manner When corn is worth ten
cents per bushel, six pounds are worth one
cent; consequently you can make pork or
beef at one cent per pound when corn is worth
but 10 cents. When corn is worth 20 cents,
six pounds of corn are worth two cents, and
your beef will cost you two cents per pound,
and, consequently, when corn is worth 81 per
bushel, you cannot make pound OF beef or
pork for less than 10 cents. And, at these
figures, there is left no profit to the farmer
for all his labor, but simply the cost OF bis
feed ~

with the children God has given you; watch
them constantly; reprove them earnestly,
but not in anger. In the forcible language Of
Scripture, ''Be not bitter against them

kind father say, II talk to them pretty much,
but do not like to beat them" 1t was
. beautiful thought not elegantly expressed
Yes, there is not one child in.the circle round
your table, healthy and happy as they look
now, on whose head, if long spared, the storm
will not beat. Adversely may wither them,
sickness fade, a cold world frown on them
but amid all, let memory carry them back to
q home where the law of kindness reigned,
where the mothers reproving eye was moist
ened with tear, aud the father frowned,

An EXAMPLE TO BE FoLLowED.-In the
principal cities Of Ohio the banks have re-
solved to throw out all currency but the
State Banks of Ohio and Indiana, the new
national currency and legal tender notes o,
greenbacks. Some such movement should
be made by the banks Of this city. Our chan.
nels of circulation are filled with mass Of SC
called currency, the offspring Of all the wild
cat concerns in the country, the majority Of
which must be thoroughly scrutinized to
avoid imposition. No necessity exists fol-
the circulation of such irresponsible curren
cy, and if systematized effort was made BY
our bankers, merchants and farmers, it might
be driven out. Let the farmers refuse ia
take anything but State Bank and National
money, and the bankers and merchants will
soon follow suit.
