SEwARD's AND GREELEY's OPINION
OF EACH OTHER.-The following sto-
ry is now told on Seward and Gree
ley, and it is q good one
9" A well known journalist, who
was formerly a Washington cores
pondent, says that, while there du-
ring the war, he one day asked Sec
rotary Seward his opinion Of Hor-
ace Greeley. Horace Greeley said
Seward, is a great mana man so
full of genius and Of such power that
if he had particle of common sense
we should have to hang him. But
he's ID fool, and therefore harm
less.
After coming to New York, the
journalist, dining with Mr.. Greeley,
inquired his opinion Of Seward. l.
(" Seward has brains enough" was
the reply, " to govern this country.
No man has a clearer or better head !;
but the trouble with Seward is. that
he is an internal scoundrel."

UNDER DRAININo.-The editor of
the Cincinnati Times has what he
GALES a little farm of twenty~one
acres-tcn of which are arabic. The
operations upon this. for the present
season, have been most Improbable
in consequence of the lack Of proper
drainage. The owner sums up his
losses by saying In the first
place, we bad p acres in ,strawbcr
ries, which the winter so badly kill
cd out that we harvested $50 instad
of 81, 900 worth. That loss would
have paid for understanding the
patch four times, through and through
with tile, at intervals OF two rods
Then we had patch Of potatoes,
twothirds Of which rotted ia conse-
qucncc Of tho wet weather. Here
We lost enough to have paid for I'M
derdrainage twice oyer"

Honest annd Honorable.

The ~. \. Ereninq Post says: "Onr
fellow citizen Mr.. Cyrus w. Field,
whose name will always be connect
ed with the Atlantic Telegraph, has
twice nearly ruined himself by his
devotion to the enterprise. Though
a man of Independent fortune when
be began, he embarked in it so large
portion of his capital as nearly to
make shipwreck Of the whole. While
in England, engaged IN the expedi>
ton OF 1857, financial storm swept
over this country, and his house sus
pended, but on his return he asked
only for time, and paid oil in full
with interest. But the stoppage
was heavy blow, and being follow
ed by a fire in 1859, which burned
his store TO the ground, and by the
panic Of December, 1860, just before
the breaking out of the war, he was
finally obliged TO compromise with
his creditors. Thus released. he
devoted himself to the work Of his
life, which he has at last carried
through. The success of the Allan
tic Telegraph, we are happy to learn,
has brought back portion Of his
lost wealth, and his first care has
been to make good all losses to 9th
ers. He has addressed letter to
every creditor who suffered by the
failure OF his house in 1859, request
ing him to send statement of the
amount compromised, adding the in
terest for nearly six years, and as fast
as presented returns check in full.
The whole amount will be about.
100000 Such a fact, however he
may wish to keep secret should
be known to his honor

RAILWAYS IN THE Holy LAND
The directors Of the Smyrna and
Adm Railway have mad surveys
made for great extensions of their
system. Smyrna will continue to
be the chief station, and a new line,
if executed, will pass to the north
round the head Of the gulf 1t will
then take an easterly course in the
direction Of Sardis and Philadelphia,
but stops short of those once re-
nowned cities. The railway, on the
other hand, strikes southwark in the
direction Of Ephesus, which will be
reached by branch line. The pro.
jected main trunk takes an easterly
course from Alden, to which it has
already been opened. In its route
it will touch at, or pass by, Antioch,
in Pisidia, Laodicea, Collosso, and
Hierapolis. Pergamos and Thyatira
are to the north of the northern ex>
tension. The company is at present
in an impecunious condition. and the
extensive works are postponed for
an indefinite time. The revenue is
expected to be derived from the car
riage of cotton, wool, and other pro-
ducc Of the country, and from pas,
senger traffic.

To MAKE NEAr's-Foor O1L.-The
hoofs are chopped off, and the other
portions cracked and boiled thor
oughly. From the surface Of this
boiled mass, about one pint of pure
neat stoot oil is skinned which is
unsurpassed by any other oleagi,
nous matter for harness, shoes, &c
After the Oils taken off, the water
IS strained 70 take from it ans fatty
particles that may remain, and then
1t IS boiled again, until upon trying,
1t Is found it will settle into a stiff
jelly. 1t is then poured out into fiat,
.bottomed dishes, and, when cold,
cut into snitable-sized pieces. Ii
hardens in few days, and then
you will have a very fine article Of
glue, free from impurities Of every
kind, sufficient for family use for
twelvemonth. By taking q portion
of this glutinous substance before it
becomes too thick, and brushing it
over pieces Of silk, you have just as
much court plaster as you desire, in
odorous, tenacious, and entirely free
from those poisonous qualities which

Rules for Management of Cows.

Never buy COW Of a dairyman
for If he is a good manager he will
only sell his poor animal.
10 determine which COWS are the
best for keeping, try their milk sep.
arateiy, and weigh their butter-for
sometimes a cow may give much
milk and little butter, and vice
versa.
Cows should run dry six weeks
before calving--;f MIXED closely
towards ealving the calves will be
poorer.
A COW newly come in should not
drink cold water in cold weather,
but moderately warm slop. Calves
intended for raising should be taken
from the COW within q few days, and
they will be less liable to suck when
old. Feed them first with new milk,
taking care that all the changes are
gradual, by adding only portion at
first send gradually little meal.
Calves well fed and taken care of.
with quart or TWO OF meal daily in
winter, will be double the size at
two years they would have attained
with common treatment
Heiters thus treated may come
in at two years old, and will be bet
ter than neglected animals at three.
and one year offeeding saved.
Hearty eaters are desirable for
COWS, and they may usually be se>
lected while calves. A dainty calf
will be dainty COW.
Heifers should become accustom-
ed to be freely handled before calv-
ing, and drawing tcats.
They will then not be difficult to
milk. Begin gradually and never
startle them.
In milking cows, divide the time
as nearly as practicable between
morning and evening, especially at
time Of early grass, that the udder
may not suffer-
Persons who milk should keep
their nails cut short--animals are
sometimes hurt with sharp nails, and
are unjustly charged with restless
ness.
Old cows should be fatted at Is
years. The dairyman therefore,
who has 10 cows, should raise q
heifer calf every year to supply the
vacancy-if the herd is thirty cows,
he should raise two calves, and so
forth a..e.s..e
Heifers dried mp too early after
calving, will always run dry about
the same time in after years there
fore be careful to milk closely the
first year, until about six weeks be-
fore calving.
Spring cows should come in while
they are yet fed on hay, and before
they are turned to grass. which
will be more likely to prevent caked /
bag and milk ver.-Annudl Reg.

Religion Under Difficulties.

1t IS more than suspected BY many
good people that there can be but
little true christianity when and
where religious profession is no
hindrance to ones popularity, but
rather help, Still, It may be that
God moves upon the heart Of His
chosen people, or what some would
call HIS eject, fer just as uniformly
under all clrcumstaT ces, and that He
calls, sanctities and saves quite as
many as if storming prosecutions
ragged at the present as during the
hey days of Imperial Rome under
the Caesars. At the initiation Of
Christianity the difficulties of phys,
ical kind may be inferred from the
manner the apostles paid for their
profession by q sacrifice of theirIives.
How many could stand such tests our
day and not fall away Here is the
record of apostolic trial:
Mathew is supposed to have sui.
tered martyrdom in the city Of ETH
opia.
Mark was dragged through the
streets of Alexandra, in Egypt, un-
til he expired.
Luke was put in boiling cauldron
at Rome, but escaped death He
died a natural death at Ephesus, in
Asia.
James the Great was beheadcd in
Jerusalem.
James the Less was thrown from
q pinnacle and beaten to death.
Philip was beheaded.
Bartholomew was skinned alive.
Andrew was crucitied and pound
ed while dying.
Thomas was run through with a
lance.
Jude was shot to death with ar
rows.
Simon was crucifed.
Matthias was stoned.
Barnabas was stoned to death.
Paul was beheadcd by the tyrant
Nero at Rome.

The sensible people of Kentucky rec
ognize the fact oil the legal and final
extinction of slavery in that State, and
are adapting themselves to the changed
condition of affairs. Among other evil
dences Of progress we notice the follow
ing, in the correspondence of the Louis
vile journal: ~ VI
CAsroE, Trigg Co, KY, Jan. 8, &c.
TO the Editors Of The Louisville Journal:
GENTLEMEN: The action of the peo.
pie of this county with the freedmen 10
highly com mendable. The planters are
offering liberal wages TO the colored
people, who seem very readily to accept
the wages offered. But few seem dis
posed to idle away their time. There
will be no need of Freedmep's Bureau
in this county. Everything works as
harmoniously as could be desired. If
the Legislature win repeal ell laws in
regard to slavery, and enact proper law Q
for the protection and punishment of
freedmen, all the inconveniences occas-
Toned by the change of the system of
labor will soon be overcome, and we win
be upon the high road to prosperity.

Therefore, without any possible aid

no prospect of adequate aid at any time
before the meeting of the next General
Assembly, with scores of men now upon
our hands, whose pounds and scars pro

money to sustain the Soldiers Home,
until such time as a just, grateful, and
patriotic people shall make such pro-
vision through their Representatives
for the disabled soldiers of the State, as
their sacrifices and services deserve.
The cash receipts of the institution
since its organization, amount to the
sum of $7,l4S.S6, and the expenditures
to $4,01620. There are in addition to
these receipts, several Thousand dollars
of subscriptions to the Home, which
still remain uncollected The managers
of the Association invite all the friends
of disabled soldiers, who may have op-
portunity and desire to do so, to visit the
Home, inspect the operations, and Judge
for themselves of the absolute necessity
for such an Institution They also in
vite contributors to the funds of the As
ISOLATION TO inspect the books and &C.
counts of the Institution, with view TO
satisfying themselves of the propriety
and the necessity of the expenditures
which have been made. In this con-
nection it will be proper to state that
none of the managers or officers of the
Association receive any compensation
for their time or services, except the
two soliciting agents, whose whole time
10 devoted to the work.
