Males in Central Atricn.

One of the most striking char
acteristics Of the mule is his aver
sion to the ass, and the pride nc
takes in his relationship to ihe
horse; which instincts are met by
obtrusiveness in the ass, and by
indifference in the horse. If an
ass at any time-urged by the
vanity peculiar to its rice as rela-
ted to tho mule--happens to fall
in with o drove of mules, he will,
in all probability, be kicked and
lamed by his proud relatives. A
horse, on the contrary, takes a
distinguished position in a drove
ofmules. The latter crowd around
him, and follow his movements,
exhibiting a violent jealousy, each
trying to stand nearest his high.
bred relative. This instinct is
employed to keep together the
droves of mules, on a journey oil
at pasture, by putting a mare tc
the drove, with a bell round hel
neck, and called the bell mare
This animal is led day and night

A comm uflication to the Patent
Office, from the Society of Shakers
at New Lebanon, New York, upon
the relative value Of ground and
ungIound, cooked and uncook-
ed food for stock, says the expert
ence of over thirty years leads the
writer to estimate ground corn at
one.third higher value than un-
ground, as food for cattle, espe-
cially for fattening pork, and the
same experience induces him to
put higher value upon cooked
than raw meal. Till within the
past three or four years, the Sbak-
ers have fattened annually, for thir-
ty years, forty to fifty thousands
pounds of pork aud every meal
was cooked, for which purposes
six or seven potash kettles were
used, Farmers waste to day thou
sands upon thousands ofdollars in
not practicing this kind Of econo.
my, Born in the ear is thrown to
hogs, horses, cattle, &c., and raw
meal is the constant practice in
fattening stock. Hay will go
farther and give out more nutri-
tion, if it is cut up and hot water
thrown upon it, just enough to
dampen it, and then Indian meal
sprinkled upon it. Ten pounds Of
this feed per day to a horse, is
equal to fifteen pounds Of dry,
uncut hay; nay, it is better for
this ten pounds of cut hay, mois-
tened, and meal sprinkled through
it, will fatten a horse, when fifteen
pounds of hay per day will not in
crease his flesh a particle. If the
cooking of meal is held by farmers
to be too much of a trouble, pour
boiling water over the meGl twelve
to twenty.four hours before you
want to use it, and you VIII find
the trouble lessened, and the food
decidedly more profitable to the
animal and yourself, particularlyif
the animal or animals happen to
he milch cows.

shcep shedding Wool.

Mr.. Lewis Clark, in the Wis
consin Farmer, says the best plan
to keep the wool on the sheep is to
keep them .f0t, and that if sheep
''run down. from any cause, and
are fed high at once, their wool
will start. Even a change Of pas
turage, tr m a poor timothy and.
clover pasture, will start the wool
from a lean sheep. But the feed.
ing of corn, beans, wheat, rye.

changes, will not only cause tho
wool to stick, but will increase it

tional cost, ~ .m q

Preserving Grass aud Flowers.

AS some persons seem to wish
to know at once how to preserve
grasses, &c, to use in the place of
artificial, will say few words
here about how to do this, without
waiting for it to find a place in my
papers on arranging flowers. The
German mode is to take large
shallow pans or boxes, and cover
ing them with a layer ofthe finest
and dryest sand, to lay the grasses
in this, and carefully siit in moro
sand ill all are completely cover
ed. The sard is then kept for somo
days exposed to slight heat, at the
end Of which process it is left to
cool gradually, and the flowers or
grasses when taken out are found
to retain perfectly their natural
form, and, with little difference,
their own color also. o.--E. A. Ma

CoNGRrss.-The New. York CONNER
cial Advertiser thus speaks of that horde
Of shoddy patriots of whom Shannon and
Highly and Conness are bright and shi-
ming lights:
Two years Ogo, when Mr.. Lincoln
hinted his wishes to Congress in regard
to change in the confiscation act, this
executive interference met with bold de-
nunciation from the Republican members.
Now they submit without clustering, pass
a measure repugnant to their better judg-
ments and opposed to the opinions Of the
people, and take another departure from
the principles that underlie our legislA-
ture. A very large majority Of the peo-
pie, and of the Republican party, favor
the commutation clause; but the House
is too feeble either to stand up to ITS own
convictions or to give force to the popu-
lar will. So Congress yields first to one
cabinet officer and then to another, and
sneaks behind the departments to avoid
responsibility, whether it be gold bill, o
Mexican resolution, or conscription ACE
that is 10 question"

TuEMIsTocLEs, after the victory in that
war which took place with the Persians.
said in the Assembly that he had plan
sautary for the State, but it was necessa-
ry that it should not be publicly known.
He demanded that the people should ap-
point some one with whom he might com
muhicate. Aristdes was appointed. To
him he disclosed that the fleet of the La.
cedemonians. which was in the dock at
Gytheum, could secretly be burned, Of
which act the necessary consequence
would be that the power of the Lacede-
monians would be broken; which, when
Aristides had heard, he came into the AS
sembly, amidst great expectations Of the
people, and said that the plan which The
mistocles proposed was expedient, but by
no means honorable. Therefore, the Athe-
mans were of the opinion that what was
not upright was not even expedient, and
on the authority OF Aristides rejected
that entire matter, which they had not
even heard.

THE principles of the Democratic party,
and the policy it advocates, are coevaI
with the government, and have never va.
ried from the time the party was BORN
They are very plain and very simple: -
That the United States are unit d in q
union of which the Constitution is the
express, exact, and only form.
That the states are equal, each bound
to respect the will of every other in re-
gard to its own system of society, morals,
and government, and each sacred from
the censure or interference Of another, and
entitled to friendship, not subject to hos
tility.
That the Constitution is the supreme
law upon those subjects on which the
states delegated to it power. and that nc
authority can be exercised directly, or in
directly, by the federal government for
which it cannot show warrant.
That the Supreme Court Of the United
States is the expounder of the Constitu,
tion.
That the plain language of the Consti-
tuition must be followed as fully as practi,
cable, and that all attempts to enlarge its
powers by construction are dangerous,
and to be avoided.
That neither congress, nor the cxecu-
tive, nor the ballot box, has any power
not given by the Constitution.
So much for principles. As to policy
or questions of expedency, its platform is
not less fixed.
1t is opposed to paper money; it is op
posed to every interference by govern
ment with the business of individuals; it
is opposed to mixing government with
questions of morality, or social problems.
Its notion of the functions of the federal
government is, that such government is,
as it was intended to be, altogether na-
tional as to foreign powers, and national
in some few specified subjects at home -
