A Cute Trick.

A fashionable looking lady, not long ago.
drove up in handsome private carriage to
a well-known lunatic asylum, situated q few
miles from Paris, and requested to see the
proprietor. Her wish being aceeded to, ashe
informed the doctor that she desired to
place her husband under his care, to see If
a cruel mania under which helabored, name-,
ly, that he had lost large number of jew
els, could not be removed. After some hes
itation the doctor consented, and the lady.
on receiving his assurance, drove directly
10 the first jewelers. in Paris, and selected
jewels to the value Of several hundred
pounds. Requesting one of the shopmen to
60 with her in her carriage 10 procure the
money for the goods she had taken, she
drove with him to the insane asylum, and
arriving there he was shown into room.
The lady then sought the doctor, told him
of the arrival of her husband. and getting
into her carriage again drove rapidly away.
The poor fellow, after waiting, and waiting,
grew impatient, and violently rang the bell.
The doctor made his appearance, aud the
young man, commencing eagerly to inquire
after the lady and his jewels, was forced into
a straight jacket, the malady complained of.
as the doctor imagined, making its appear
ance. He was confined several days, before
the lady's rase was discovered.

Dear brother we have parted,
With sadness, tears and grief
But the memory of the past time
Doth give me still relief
Thy gentle kindred spirit
Is ever near to me,
While thou art a wanderer
From the home so loved by thee.
1 know that thou art gentle,
/ know that thou ART kind;
Those tender membranes
Are written in my mind.
know thy heart doth sadden
When thinking of thy home,
And feel thou art a wanderer
Wherever thou dost roam.

Forever as my guide,
And thy fair and gentle face was
Forever by my side.
o, mark q sisters friendship,
A sisters love is true;
Then think of the hours of watching
That 1 have spent for you.
When IN the merry circle,
With friends both light and gay,
'Tis then my thoughts doth wander
To thee, so far away.
Return once more, dear brother,
Complete our household band;
Leave of thy ever wandering
In a far distant land.
But IL thou still wilt linger,
And distant be our lot,
Though rivers roll between US,

HURRAH FOR HAYMAKINGg .ssa7


7 As the season for this important branch .
of farm work is just at hand, We Thought
we would ofer few thoughts upon the
subject, to the readers of THE News. s-,e.
Having been raised in the North aud 70
East where this branch of farming gsner- IT
ally receives due attention. we have bsenua
the more surprised to see it SO much. neg.
lected, aud SO ill-tmed generally in the
West. fsa - rt.,., 49,. -,
We believe it is well known that all plants,rn
and herbs intended for culinary purposes.
should be gathered while in the prime of
life, and carefully dried in the shade. Pre-
cisely the same tins and treatment are true,
and philosophical with regard to making
hay; and every degree of departure from.
this rule will diminish its value in like RAJ
ito. s.sru-.
And yet the general practice among us
is so nearly the reverse of this rule, that an
observer of it might suppose We had learned
it backward. majority of US put off hay
ing too late; it passes its prime-begins to
deaden and dry in the sun, or is frost bitten,a
HiAA S0SB OpS1
to the sun and dews two, three or more
days, bleaching its remaining life away, un-
til there is just sufficient palatablensss and
nutrition left to prevent starvation. Some
few begin in better season, but with MANY
! the process is the same, or little mora
prOtracted, for the purpose of exhausti6g
its juices; consequently they arrive at about
the same end. sra- - 5000
All such practice is radically wrong, and
should be abandoned. We are we'll aware
of the difficulties and ADVERTISEMENTS with
which Kansas farmers often meet in the
practice of what we know; but We believe
there is either too little known or felt, or
both, upon this important subieet-and
would gladly contribute something toward
more general interest in relation to it, and
i will venture few suggestions; which we
} hope may be of some little benefit. zeag ,1s5
In the first place, let US try to attaehla
greater importance to proper care for the
growth and comfort of our animals during
} winter. Secondly, to make the best possis
bic provision for their wants and. comforts,
from the abundance which Heaven has Law
ished upon the immense prairies aroundus.}
Let US try to begin having in better season.
), Do not be afraid of losing little late
growth by cutting early. And when ready
to begin. secure sufficient help, by changing
work or otherwise, to make the job as short
as possible. Be sure to have help sufficient
! to take up the hay without suffering it to
: bleach in the sun and dews. If the grass
is too thick to cure in one day, turn it, or
take it up and spread it again. instead of
letting the top bleach to death while the bot
tom is curing.
We can assure our farmers that an a.ten-
ton to the above hints will be found both
5 profitable and satisfactory. Try it, friends.

Wool can be delivered in New York, from
the interior of Kansas, at any season of the
year for three cents per pound, and at times
for two cents. This is all the advantage
Vermont sleep growers have over US. Will
not this pay?
Sorghum, have said, matured here the
dry season. It may always be relied upon,
and is very rich in saccharine matter, when
raised in this latitude Both molasses and
sugarvWill, in time, undoubtedly, be ex-
ported from Kansas, both East and to the
mines in the mountains. Tobacco and
hemp have been, for years, pro6tably cul
| tivated in Missouri, on such soil as ours;
and so far as tried here, they both succeed
ed admirably, and may be considered among
our staples.
Cotton growing is an experiment. Thou
sands of bushels of worthless seed was
planted here this year, and also good deal
of good seed, from which the crop now
looks prosperous.
Western Missouri abounds in fruit of all
kinds, raised on the prairie and in the tim

there can be no doubt of their successful

cents to $3.50 per bushel, according to
the season. The drouth tried them, and
last October came freeze, while the leaves
were still green, which turned the bark
black, and was supposed, killed them all,
but very few died, and they are bearing
finely this year.
Missouri is noted for grape growing
Germans, who have tried il both there anL
here, give the preference to Kansas, as be-

from blight here, and there is not a doub
that this State will, in time, be as noted al

In short, all kinds of fruit, grown in Thu

Northern and Southern characteristics.

Northern and Southern characteristics.
In the recent battles the rebels fought as
usual, in masses, coming on with demoniac
yells, while our men stood firmly in line,
and, savein one instance, received the shock
without finchiug. The Southern soldiers
seek courage ana confidence in numbers and
the inspiration of whisky, while our North
ern troops exhibit the calm heroism which
springs from moral as well as physical eour-
age. With all their impulsive dash, the
Southern men exhibit low cunning which
is often more than a match for Yankee cute
ness. They are more cautious and secre-
tive than our men. We can learn but lit
tie from prisoners; while many of ours Ia
ken prisoners by them, tell all they know.
Our men must have camp fires and coffee,
aud recklessly set the woods on fire, thus
unwisely revealing their position and max
ing themselves the targets of the enemy 6
shells. The enemy uses great caution about
camp fires. Our men are curious, and
climb trees to see what is to be spied out in
the enemy's land, and are more seen than
seeing. The enemy, serpent-like crawl:
along the ground and keeps out of sight as
they possibly can. Their manner of fight
ing, their stealthy movements, their surprises
and war-whoops are more in the Indian
style of fighting than in that of civilized
soldiers, and the wooded and uneven sur
face of the Southern country favors and
perhaps, compels this style of warfare. L
is certain that in too many instances oul
troops have fought too much in the stylc
of Braddock, while the rebels have played
the part of the French and Indians who de
feated him.

BOSTON DRY GOODS MARKET.
fErnn, the V0nnercfa1 ButiafIn /


There is apparently general suspension Of bu-
elness In the dry goods market and tho usnal dull
ness Of the season ia enhanced By the disturbing
influence Of cuHent political events. While buy
cyB inifsposcd to operate In the present unset
tied condition OF things holders do not press their
Etocls upon the market, but calmly await the revi
val OF trade, which ls sure to spring in due
eon. Prices are extremely Irregular, both from
fret aud second hands, though generally not quite
20 firm as last week, and some styles Of goods are
quite immoyable except at reduction.
Plain cotton goods, especially, are OF very uucer-
tain value Just now, with little inquiry though
the very limited stocks hand and the possini1l-
~ OF reaction, render holders rather Indifferent
to ea1es. The eager speculative feeling which has
prevailed for several weeks past, however, has
completely died out, and while goods have not
been generally marked down by agents, they may
nevertheless BE- purchased ut decline OF some ID
Gk16 q cent fioln the extreme rates Of last week.
At the closr. the downward tendency is somewhAt
checked by the slight rAlly IN cotton and gold, and
the market fs ehadc t]rmes.
In the woolcn goods market the effect of military
aid financial operations has not been quite so
marked. Trade ia quiet, but the confidence of
holders is unimpatrcd and goods are held ut full
prices. In this statement, however, we must ex-
c+pt fabrics OF foreign Manufacture which, Bympa-
thlzing fth the rates Of exchange, are heavy and
difficult to move at prime cost. ANY quotations
