Distributions.

We would call attention to the opin-
ion of one of the leading papers of Can
ada on this subject:
Most of our readers have no doubt
read some of the numerous advertise
ments of Gift Enterprises, Gift Concerts,
&c., which appear from time to time in
the public prints, Offering most tempt
ing bargains to those who will patron
ize them. In most cases these are gen.
uine humbugs. But there are few re-
spectacle firms who do business in this
manner, and they do it as means of
increasing their wholesale business, and
not to make money. From such firms,
it is true, handsome and valuable arti-
cles are procured for very small sum,
and what is more important, no one
is ever cheated. Every person gets
good value for his dollar; because, as
we have stated, it is intended to act as
an advertisement to increase their ordi-
nary business.
We have seen numbers of prizes sent
out in this way by Sherman, Watson
4 Company, of Nassau Street New
York, and there is no doubt that some
of the articles are worth eight or ten
times the money paid for them, while
we have not seen or heard of a single
article which was not worth the dollar
which it cost. But this is only one of
the exceptions of this rule, for as a gen
eral thing the parties engaged in this
business are nothing but clever swim
dlers.-,Satu1lay Reader, Montreal, c. r..

war party hailed the triumph of the
PRESIDENT and his restoration policy over
the radicals, and Endorsed them over
,Whne;lmingly. The leaders of hatfaction,
baffled and overthrown, chung to the
skirts of the administration, and were

abandoned, almost before it touched

add, without its crew. Applause. But,
nothing daunted by the defeat of their
reconstruction policy, and the triumph
of that of Mr.. Lincoln, they renewed
theissue with him forthwith, denouncing
his policy with undated rancor and ar
rogance and the last public act of his
illustrious life, was a speech on the 18th
of April, 1866, in vindication of his
policy, and in favor of the immediate
and unconditional admission of the
Senators and Representatives from the
reorganized States.

Letter of Secretary McCMIlocI..

Secretary McCulloch has written let
ter declining to speak in Indiana on ac-
count of a pressure of official engage
ments, in which he says: "In the I'M
fortunate controversy that has arisen
between the President and Congress [
stand with the former" In regard to
the Presidents plan of restoration,
which had beenapproved by his lament-
ed predecessor, he remarks: "To that
plan l regarded the party Of which I am
a member, as virtually committed, by
the action of its conventions and the
resolutions of Congress, before Mr..
Johnson attempted to carry it into effect;
to that plan 1 am still committed by
the dictates of my best Judgment. That
the principles which he advocates and
represents will be vindicated at the APP
preaching elections l hope and believe.
Of their ultimate vindication l am fully
persuaded as | am af the perpetuity of
our republican institutions"

GREEDY ON THE CASE OF MIR DAVIS.
-Greely speaks his mind freely on
this subject. He says with force and
truth:
"There is conglomoration of shuttle,
sham, shirk, and sneak, in the treat
ment of this prisoner, which is calcula-
ted to nauseate the civilized world, and
for which somebody will yet be held to
stern responsibility. Every manly
instinct demands that Davis should be
promptly tried, or if only to be sub
jected to a costly and mischievous sham
trial, with no expectation or desire of
convicting him, he should be liberated
at once. And If he is to be tried only
for treason, then the charge of assassina-
ton should be retracted as publicly as
it was made. And it is the duty of the
Executive, through his Attorney Gene
raj, to act promptly and frankly in the
premises, SO as to relieve the Govern
ment from the imputation of calumnia-
ting an enemy and holding for eighteen
months prisoner whom it dare not put
on trial. The American people are be-
ing disgraced by the acts of their rulers,
and they must insist on a speedy
change"

NO.. s..
Enffeniny Ssri3se.

Many farmers do not commence fat
tening their swine till October. This is
not the best system ofhog management.
Hogs that are to be slaughtered about
the first of next December or January,
should be well fed, with scrupulous reg
ularty, three times every Gay. It is
not best to ''stuff" fattening swine in
the former part of the season, unless
they have attained desirable size.
Hogs should be kept growing rather
than to allow them to subsist almost en-
tirely on grass, till within two months
of the time when they are to be slaugh-
tered, and then crowd them by heavy
feeding. The quantity of feed should
be increased from week to week, as the
animals will take larger amount.
Furthermore, it is infinitely better to
have all kinds of grain ground quite
fine before it is fed out. 1t is also an ex-
cellent practice when feeding fattening
swine, to provide three vessels, each one
to contain about as much as is fed at
one time. Then let the meal be soften
