ISpoRsrSG THE LoRp.-Thc St. Loui

ENDORSING THE LoRD.-Thc St. Louis Times says:
 "The uncivilized world beyond these United States of America, will be en- frightened as to the true character of that portion of the American people who now govern this country, by reading one of the prayers, to say nothing of hearing it, made by Congressional Chaplains. One of these pious effu- sions made recently, began thus:
 'Oh, Lord, thou hast ruled this world for six thousand years, and, AS WE BE LIEvE, thou hast ruled it wcll.'
 Who can doubt after this, the right of Radicals to rule America? Why, it is condcscension ill them to recog- ni2e the good government of the Al mighty. And yet such Chaplains are elected and paid by Congress, and their blasphcmous arrogance listened to with impunity. We have not heard them rebuked even by the Democrats of that body. Have they, too, become patrons of the Almighty? ?"

Tho radicals evidently flea

- Tho radicals evidently fear the Su- preme Court of the United States and with their usual perseverance, they are cndeavoring to provide way by which the decisions of that tribunal may be set aside, A correspondent of the New York Herald suggests yet one more "constitutional amendment" by which the Senate may be declared the High Courto Appeals. He wishes that body to be like tho English House of Lords, to whose bar, as the high est tribunal in the land, parties may make their appeal from the Supreme Court This would render the legislature the judge ofits own laws; but we need not be surprised at anything fanatieal hate for the South may do; and an effort will no doubt be madc to carry this amendment, and thus place the Supreme Court at the mercy of the Jacobins.

 Bs- The Liverpool Journal of Con- merce. of February 9th, has the follow ing in it's editorial notice of the news of the day:
 The latest and most suicidal project vet conceived by American politicians is bill about to be brought forward by the reconstruction committee for dividing the States which took part in the rebellion into five military govern mcnts. The people in the North, in stead of cndeavoring to heal the ani- mosities and hatred aroused by the late war, and acting with magnanimity to their cl,ow-countrymen, arc apparent ly doing everything to pcrpctuatc the bitter hate between the North and South, and forgetting the principles upon which the Union is based and has risen to greatness. turning the power of one section of the people into an instru- ment of tyranny against another sec- ton. If the States are ever divided. surely such legislation as has lately been proposed is the one thing most likely to effect that end.

A Printer,s Asylum.

Charles F. Browne, the widely known s'ArHmus Ward whose early death in England we recorded few days ago, com meneed life as journeyman printer, and was an honor to the craft Though of late years in the possession of wealth, the earn- ings of his genius, he did not forget the hardships and severity of circumstances which so often overtake tho less fortunate of printers.
 He had seen men of talent broken down by the severity of labor; had seen men grow up old without having laid up any thing for old age; he had seen them wan dering from office to office, and city to city, seeking employment, and sometimes in want of means to continue their journey. There is necessarily, in profession in which there is so much general talent and in which intelligence and even genius is the rule and not the exception, a feeling of oppression and pain, when fellow workman, unable to labor, or too old to Ia, Dor, or suffering from waat, is brought tc public attention. f'
 MT. Browne has, by his will, provided for the commencement of an institution which, by the least possible attention, may be made one of the noblest and best en dowed charities of the country.
 Mir. Browne has provived in his vii that after his mothers death his proper | ty, amounting to possibly S60,00o, shal be devoted to founding an asylum fol printers.
 This bequcst, as honorable to the mem ory of the donor as it is to the craft O which be was a member, will of course bt | postponed until the close of his mother. life. It provides for charity which ap pcals directly to theheart of every printer and We suggest that steps be taken iminc diately to create fund which, added t, that donated by Mir. Browne, will secur. the endowment of an institution of tho first order
 We propose that the craft in all part. of the country, by united resolve, pro vide that there be retained by the foreman of each newspaper and printing office, iron the earnings of the journeymen, sun equal to five mills upon each dollar of hi. weekly bill. This small tax of onc-hal cent on the dollar should be paid over tt a local treasurer weekly, and by him for warded to a general treasurer, to be in vested until such time as the asylum funl will be available.
 Tho tax is a small one to each person but in ten years time, if properly invest ed with it's earnings, would constitute !; fund equal to the establishment and en dowment of an asylum equal to the de mands of the craft, and worthy of the mcr whose in6rmities of body may make then its inmates.
 We think this proposition worthy of tho attention of the typographical body of tl' country, and as it only needs union to mak, it success, we expect to see it carried, il some form, at an early date, into praetica operation -[Chicago Tribune.

~ Thousand ID oilar COW.

"A correspondent of the Couat,g Cen
uenda tells q story of a. remarkable
cow, owned by a Mr.. Stratham, of New
hampshire. rIf'Jt the Statements are
true, it is probably the most productive
cow, in the world. -Fhe record runs
thus: 1T is stated, on the authority of
the Massachusetts, Agricultural Society,",
that this cow, III the first year after be-
lag bought, and with ordinary Keeping,
made $50 pounds of butter. The next
year. she ohGd twelve, bushels of, carn.
lneal, and then made $40 pounds of
butter. The next year she had thirty
bushels, and made more than 400
pounds Of hutter.s The next year she
had bushel week and all her own
milk skinned, and she then made,
from the 9Th of April to the 25th of
september, 480 pounds of butter, ht
sides sucking her calf for five weeks.
1t was an extraordinary yield, but it
seems the Scammon COW takes the lead
by at least 1870 pounds of butter. The
COW is of the Ayrshire breed, -ofr "a pale
yellow color, and was raised by Nh. :.
When SHE WIS six years old, an account
of the butter made from her was kept.
The number of pounds realized was six
hundred and ten, and her milk four
teen thousand five hundred and forty
pounds1being almost fortss pounds a
day through the year, and n arly
twelve pounds of butter week through
the year,
That must be the cow the city lady

Opinions OF a Farmer.


am near fifty years old, was always
q farmer, as were my ancestors, as far
back as / can trace them. My opin-
ions are formed on experience and
experiments that satisfy me, whether
they do others or not.
OPINION HAY should be cut when
in full bloom, as all plants contain
most sacchariHe matter then, and con-
sequently, more nutritious, if used
for food. If hay is left later, the Sugar
turns to woody fibre. Wood and su-
gar are chemically the same.
H.-All heavy or clayey soils should
be plowed in the autumn, so that the
frosts of winter may pulverize them
and kill the germs of insects deposited
in the soil for the next season
III.--The best way to raise calves is
totake them from the COW as soon as
dropped; If possible, never let them
suck, as they learn to eat or drink soon.
er, and there is no sore teats from bit
ing, and the task of weaving the COW
FROM the calf is SOON over. 70 L put them
in place where they will be sheltered
from the sun and rain, give a good bed
of straw, and feed three or four quarts
of new milk per day until three weeks
old, then feed skim milk warmed. Let
them have access to hay or grass. By
this method have raised calves ever
since can remember, and never lost
one in my life. .......
IV.-Nine.tenths Of our farmers do
not SOW enough hay seed to the acre. /
have kept increasing the amount and
have not found stopping place. The
more seed the more and better hay; if
timothy and clover, up half a bushel
each per acre. Ii the surface of the

NIII.--In fattening beef cattle with

EVERGREEN CULTURE.-No better
plans are known for giving rapid
growth to Eyergreens than the follow
ing: .
Prepare the ground thoroughly !;
pillow deep in the fall previous to plant
ting, and again in spring, and make
mellow by narrowing. BE sure that
the roots of the trees are never suffered
TO dry i'm the least while out of the
ground. Ifmore than three years from
the seed they should have been pre-
viously transplanted, and either trans
planted or oot-pruned, once in two
years after, until permanently planted
Should the ground be very dry at the
time of planting, water, and muclh
heavily; use no rank manure-this is
deemed preferable to cultivation. Fra
To hurry up trees already set,
spade, or plow deep, on opening the
ground, as near the trees as can be
done without injuring the roots; then
mulch deep and wide. Add more
mulching each spring.

TIE EFFECTS or TEA ON THE SKIN.
If you drop a few drops of strong tea
upon piece of iron--a knife blade, for
instance, the tannate of iron is formed,
which is black. If you mix it with
iron filings or puIverized iron you can
make fair article of ink. If YOU mix
it with fresh human blood, Informs,
with the iron of the blood, the tannate
of iron. Take human skin and let it
soak for time i'm strong tea, and il
win become leather. Now, when we
remember that. the liquids which,enter
the stomach are rapidly absorbed by
the veins and absorbants of the stom-
ach, and enter into the circulation, and
are thrown out of the system by the
skin, respiration and the kidneys, it is
probable that a drink so common as tea
and SO abundantly used, will have
some effect. Can it be possible that
tannin introduced with so much warm
liquor, producing perspiration, will
have no effect on the skin? look at
the tea drinkers of Russia, the Chinese
and the old women of America, who
have so long continued the habit of
drinking strong teas. Are they not

The other day Captain Ira S. Garland,
Of the Fourteenth Precinct police, in
company with a posse of policemen,
made q descent upon the establishment
known ~ the Minne-ha-ha, at No. l9
Howard street, employing seven young
girls, scarcely more than seventeen
years Of age, who were dressed III q
yery curious style Of Understanding
extremely low-nscked dresses with very
short skirts. The young misses en-
gagged the services of William F. Howe,
and an examination WAS demand
ed. The matter went TO an inyestiga-
ton. Howe cross-examined the othcers
verv rigidly, and learned from them
that there was nothing more to be seen
in the attire Of the young girls than
was nightly seen in one OF the principal
theatres of the city. Howe called one
Of the defendants forward, and by a
public exhibition Of her fancy attire
showed the Judge that there WAS moth
ing more indecent than in the spectacle
Of the "Blsck Crook" Howe then ad-
dressed the Court, claiming that the
complaint on the part Of the police
seemed to be the great amount OF calf
exhibited in the legs Of the girls. Howe
commended that there WAS no offence
committed in this exhibition, and that
the young ladies had a right to d'es' as
they pleased. The Court held this de-
fence good and discharged the accused.
