ENGLAND s DEcLINE.-From D facts which
have recently come to light, there is
reason to believe that the Virlity of the
English race at home is rapidly becoming
exhausted. The announced detrrmin-
alton Of the British government not to
90 to war, no ter,what the provoca-
ton, is a conspicuous sign Of the grow
ing weakness of John Bulls backbone,
while populationsstatistics prove incon-
testibly that his prolific powers are
steadily deselting him.
In discussing the women's rights
question recently, the Pail Mall Gazette
makes the following revelations:
But it is growing daily more difficult
to become wife, and, if we may believe
Dr.. Farr, to become mother also. With
regard to the first point, it is demon stra-
bly, impossible for all our women, nay
for more than two-thirdS, or even less, to
marry, because there are many more
women than men, and t"ere are many
men who cannot and many who will not
marry and, as to the second position,
DR.. Farr has announced that there are in
England anu Wales alone more than one
million ofchildleSs families, while other
authorities affirm that our race is so far
less prolific than in former times that in
our large towns two children to each
married couple hascome to bet average
number.
The fact that there are nearly amillion
more women than men in England is in
itself a proof Of the waning viriiity of the
Anglo Saxon race. In all cfete- races,
such as those which occupy Mexico, for
instance, there is an excess Of female
births. The small families and chidless
unions, alluded to so often by the medi-
cal press of England, tell the same story
of the physical decay which has over
taken that once prolific and spirited race.
In view of this state of facts, Americans
should deal tenderly with such specimens
of this worn-out-race as live among u.s.,
The stock was once good, and we should
honor 1T for what it has been; but to
insure the vigor Of our own blood there
should be no more intermarriages per-
United between the young people Of the
two countries.

SINGULAR AND REMARKABLE CAsE.-A
returned soldier, who was suffering from
a wound through the neshy part Of his
right arm, was married about nine
months since; and shortly afterwards
the wound became so bad that the at
tending physician contemplated anputa-
ton. phis worked seriously on the mind
of his young wife, whose sole attention
was absorbed in the thought of a one
armed husband. Under her kind and
afectionate care, however, the arm was
saved.
Now for the sequel: The other day
she gave birth to child who had one
we'll developed arm, but the other was
stump, similar to the one which the poor
vife's mind was impressed with at the
time the surgeons were talking of taking
off her husbands. Amputation could
not have produced a more beautiful
stump, and what is more, the scar Of the
bullet hole, 50 visible on the fathers arm,
was as visible on the child's arm, at the
base ofthe stump, as ii really inflicted
by a ball. This is the most remarkable
case of "child-mark" ever known. The
child is'a healthy and beautiful one, per-
feet in every respect, save the absence
of the arm referred to.-Albany, n. T.,

At the Derby banquet says the. Court
Journal, areporter was sitting directly
behind Mr., Disraeli, taking him down"
and in sporting scene. The reporter
missed an important sentence, and some
what audibly expressed annoyance. Mr..
Disraeli, on this, in true parliamentary
style, and very quickly repeated the
dropped sentence. No one but the Srate-
ful reporter knew why he did SO: This
week another reporter sent hurried
note to the Chancellor of the Exche-
qucr, asking for some information as to
his banquet speech. On the Thursday
afternoon the foremost mar in England
walked into the reporters 'den," and
politely gave the astonished ''gentlemen
of the press" what he required: Similar
anecdotes might be told Of Lord Stanley,
and they are merely mentioned as a hint
to local "great men" who think tia part
of their role to snub the reporter, so fre-
quently their superior in the sense in
which u man is judged to be or not to be
a gentleman.

The New Orleans Picayune tells the
following "excessive case Of fatigue:
"a few days ago an incident occurred in
one of the cars upon the Dauphine and
Rampart street line, which, in spite Of
the brusqueness. Of the repartee it. called
forth, was so refreshingly amusing, that
no one could refrain from indulging in
the sentiment which it occasioned. With
duplex ellipticealsskirts, the dresses of 7
ladies spread out their ample folds in
lively patterns uponeither side, and, al
though quite number of gentlemen en-
tered the car below Esplanade-street,
not movement was made to contract by
barege, organdie or lawn, the fourteen
ladies very quietly appropriating the en-
tire seats, while the gentlemen stood up
and held on as well as circumstances
would allow. Just before reaching Ca
nal-strect, one of the ladies, tapping
one of the gentlemen upon the arm with
her ivory handled paraSol, requested him
to pull the bell for theneXt corner. Hold
ing on to the strap with both hands, and
affecting the very quintessence of lam
guor, the person addressed replied: {:
You must excuse me, madame, for am
really two excessively fatigued with
standing to make the effort There was
sudden movement on the part Of one
of the liveliest patterns Of bareges, and a
tiny hand went up like lightning to. the
bell rope, and with founce and toss
of her beautiful head, while the faces of
all were wreathed in an expressible smile,

FARMERS COLUMN.

To KEEP TIRES ON WHEELS Hear
what practical man says on the subject ::
Il ironed wagon one year ago for my
own use, and before putting on the tires l
filled the telloes with linseed oil; and the
tires have worn out and were never loose.
ironed buggy for my own use several
years ago, and the tires are now as tight
as when put on. My method of filling
the felloes with oil is as ollows: l use a
long cast-iron heater, made for the pur-
pose The oil is brought to boiling
heat, the wheel IS placed on a stick, so as
to hang in the oil each felIoc, an hour for
a common-sized fclloe. The timber should
he dry, as green timber will not take oil.
Care should be taken that the oil be no
hotter than boiling heat, III order that
the timber be not burnt. Timber filed
with oil is not susceptible to water, and
the timber is much more durable. | was
much amused some years ago, when |
told the blacksmith how 10 keep the tire
tight on wheels, by his telling me it was
a profitable business to tighten tires, and
the wagon maker will say that it is profit
able to him TO make and repair wheels;
bnt what will the farmer who supports
the wheelwright and smith say?

To REMOVE STUMPs. Barnes, of
Baltimore, removed a troublesome stump
from near his house in the following
manner:
last fall, with an inch auger, he bor-
ed a hole in the centre of the stump ten
inches deep, and into it put about half a
pound of oil of vitrol, and corked the hole
up tight This spring the whole stump
and roots extending through ali their ram
ifcations, were so rotten that they were
easily eradicated."
IF true, the above would be cheap
method of removing stumps. The sui
phuric acid can be bought for about five
cents per pound.

cleanliness more than hen) and furnish

and vegetables and small grain and give
corn and water alone and your hens will

LICE on HENS AND CHICKENS. Raise
the wings of setting hens, and examine
them closely for vermin. Sometimes lice
annoy hens so grievously, that they will
quit the nest. Apply sweet oil beneath
their wings; and also oil chickens and
young turkeys that are infested with lice
Lice will sometimes stick around the root
of the bill of turkeys and chickens, in the
skin. Provide a box of dry sand where
they can roll in it; and lice will find it so
uncomfortable in their feathers, that they
will seek other quarters,

The New York World gives sum-
mary of such Intelligence as it has receiv-
ed in relation to the crops, and remarks
that making due allowance for the well
known fact that unfavorable reports are
the rule and favorable ones the exception
during the spring, when great anxiety is
felt and farmers are disposed to look on
the dark side, it may justly be said that
the prospect for an average crop Of wheat
is as good as usual at this season; and
taking the Central and Southern States
into the account, better than for any year
since 1861. Notwithstanding the predic-
ton that the low price of corn would dis
courage its production in the West, an
unusually large breadth has been already
planted in that section, while in Virginia
and other Southern States there will be
more corn grown than in any previous
year.

ACTIVE MANURE. OF the most
active manures, and readily within the
reach Of most farmers, is mixture of
leached ashes, plaster and night soil, mix
ed with fine soil. Let them be thorough
ly worked over on smooth spot, and al
lowed to stand week before using, work
ing it over every other day, and you have
a most valuable manure at trifing cost of
time \ handful of this mixture in a
hill is excellent to give corn start. Po-
tatotes and garden vegetables generally
feel it very quick. Hen manure Is an ex-
cellent ingredient in such manures, but it
should be well slaked with water before
mixing with other substances. In this
climate we have quite often cold week
OR two the first of June, when corn and
tender garden vegetables suffer severely,
We know of no better way TO keep up the
courage Of plants at this trying season
than by the use of such manures.
