leading a life Of infamy in the metropolis, at
last became weary of her vicious career, and
started for home on foot But at every stage
of her progress she was arrested and locked
up for vagrancy. Finally arriving at fremont,
hungry, penniess and sick, she was taken be-
before the local magistrate as usual. Now

CLAY is permanent amendment on sandy
soils; and sand, in turn, is an excellent dress
ing for clayey lands. We know many judi
cious cllltivators who are careful to improve
the opposite kinds of soil upon their farms, in
this way, as they are to fertilize them by
manure. When, years ago, we purchased the
acre or two OF ground on which our garden is
now cultivated, portion of it was a very stiff
blue clay; the rest a sandy loam. Each sea-
son for succession of years, we were in the
habit of carting the clayey soil on to the san
dy, and the sand on to the clay, and mixing
them by the plough, harrow or spade. The
frosts oiwinter were more effectual in disinte-
grating the stiffclay and introducing the sill
cious particles, than any artificial aids. In a
few years the whole grounds were then mixed,
and thenceforth it has been a soil of the right
consistency and admirably adapted to all pur-
poses of vegetation. @
1t should be observed that the soil is not so
permanent an amendment of the clay, as the
clay is of the sandy soil. The particles Of
sand being heavy, and the clay when saturat-
ed with wet in early spring being very soft,
the sand will settle down below the top soil.
and in time leave the surface clay as stiff as
before. The sand, therefore, should be re
newed occasionally. D., - ta- 3

SERvvNr GIRLS IN CoUNcn.-f we were
called upon to select the particular fact or Incl
dent of the times which more than any other
points unmistakably to the rapid progress
mankind is making, and to the accelerated ve-
locity with which we are approaching the mil
lennium, it would be to the meeting of servant
girls in Troy, N. Y, to protest against being
taxed to support the Fenian cause. The polit-
ical aspects of the question being left entirely
out of the account, this meeting was remark
able one. The Fenian Congress at Cleveland
has recommended that Bridget and Biddy be
especially invited to contribute their nite to-
ward the prospective thrashing OF the British
lion, which is to leave that mythical animal
looking as spiritless and imbecile as the one
that consents to ride through our streets in
company with two bewitching females In
consequence of this modest proposition con-
venton, composed..of Bridgets, was assembled.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The affairs in the Eastern part Of our State
in the troublous times of 76, have never been
fully known. Its history is beginning to be
unfolded. A volume of 800 PIP. has just been
published by Mansell, of Albany, showing aby
journal and letters the active and successful part
taken by Col. John Allan, in holding the In
dams on the ST. Johns in friendship to the
American cause. With great difficulties in
resisting the adroit opportunities Of the British
agents and at times in supplying food to the
five huadred natives whom he led by long
journey through the forest by Indian trail
from Aukpack to Machias, he testified his
devotion to the oause of liberty.
The work has been prepared by Mr.. Freder-
ic Kidder Of Boston. In 1852, while engaged
in the OperatrUuo oor-~--------Al.aS Scbood;o
Lakes, he became acquainted with somo----
the descendants of Col. Allan. He found
there the journal and other papers, enough to
put him in quest for more. These he found
in the archives at the State House in Boston,
and after the leisure of years has been en-
ployed for the purpose, he has given brief
sketch of this officers life and useful services
and a large number Of most valuable docu-
ments, mainly of Col AS letters. ..,.
1t appears that he was native Of Nova
Scotia; and that early in the conflict he Joined
the cause of the Revolution. Loss of his prop
erty and the distress of his family followed
this act, but did not change his purpose. Know
ing how he could best subserve the cause of
liberty, he secured the fidelity of the savages,
and thus saved all of Maine, east of the Pc
no5scot, if not of the Kennebec, to the side OF
the colonies. If he could have had battalion
of tried men, he would doutless have added
New Brunswick also to have been our most
Eastern State. .........
Mr. Kidder has done a good service in a
hitherto unexplored part of our State history;
and it is pleasant to state that the Historical
Society gave him a vote of thanks for his ju-
dicous and successful effort in this field of Ia
Dor. His narrative is lucid, and the arrange
ment of tho journal, letters and other docu-
ments is such as to facilitate reference; while
a copious index is an effectual aid to the flu
ture student of this part of the history O

VACANT purposes that. by keeping

may ,acknow owledge, in the broadest
Terms, that'there were causes within
the Republican organization in the
Pacific States, that weakened it. Re-
publican voters in California, as in
Connecticut, some time ago, were
disgusted with the conduct of their
leaders, and remnined away from, the
polls. Titus the vote was reduced,
and this reduced vote was divided on
different candidates But these causes
| only gave greater field to the rising
wave, for the. Democrats would pro-
baby have secured substantial vic
tory without them There is, how
ever, just enough in this view of the
result-in this argument of the re-
duetion and division of the Republic
'oan VoteAto serve for the use Of RI,
>dical leaders in the Atlantic and
Mississippi Valley States. 1t will
serve them to explain away the
event-to prevent their voters from
rightly understanding a lesson that
would imperil the power Of the radi-
cal party. But the lesson is all the
same for the country at large, for
that large part of the people that is
not to be deluded by the defamation
of political spouters.. 1t is the dis
tinct declaration of the apprehension
of the people of the Pacific slope
that the tendencies of the dominant
party are dangerous, and their pur-
p,'se that it shall no longer be trusted
with the destinies of the country.
California has a population of vigor-
ous, bold, thinking people. Her ci-
tizens bear the same relation to the
Atlantic States that the people of
these States at one time bore to
Europe, and are made up Of the ad-
venturcus, .clear-sighted, intelligent
men of all our Atlantic communities
who sought in the new State an am
pier field for m enterprising spirit
than they could find at home Such
q population is seldom conservative,
and when it utters its political pro-
test. against party extravaganza, we
may be sure that the whole nation is
alive TO the danger.

ALMOST A R1oT-THE Mona
large crowd of whites and blacks as
sembled in front of tho hall, yester-
day evening, to hear the addresses of
several colored conservative speakers
particularly Williame and Holmes,
from Tennessee. Many of the
s'League" negroes in the city did not
relish the idea of one Of their race
speaking on the other side, and threats
were made by sorne of them that
Williams should not be allowed to
deliver his address, In view of these
threats and the indignitics offered
these colored conservatives on the
street corners by runners and bum
mers of the despicable League, the
military were on hand, in addition to
the city. police, to protect the free
dom of speech. We noticed, in close
proximity to the speaker, Col. Crit
tenden, Post Commander, and seve-
raj other Federal officers, together
with the Mayor of the city.
The colored orator made a speech
Of about one hours length, giving
his own experience as a Union SOL
dier, and closed by advising his
colored brothers to trust to the peo-
pie of the South, their former mas
ters, as their best friends, and for
each and all of them to have nothing
whatever to do with the league. His
speech was eminently conservative
throughout, and if his colored
friends will heed his admonitions,
they will be wiser. He was followed
by Holmes, George Williams, Wade
Potter and other colored speakers.
Before the conclusion of tho meet
ing, a large number of negroes had
assembled, who testified their disap-
probation to free speech by jeers,
loud yells, &C.; and when Williams,
OF Tennessee, attempted to quietly
retire, at the close, a number of ne
groes crowded around tho cab in
which he was leaving, and threat
ened to pull him out; whereupon a
Federal officer ordered up detach-
ment of cavalry, who dispersed the
noisy and unlawful rabble in double
quick time. The cavalry ordered the
crowd to disperse, which was obeyed
by the negroes ut run. Had it not
been for the prompt and efficient
interference of the cavalry, somebody
might have been hurt. This attempt
to intimidate and suppress free speech
on the part of the league should be
nipped in the bud; and We are glad
to know that the Federal army officers
in our midst are determined to up
hold this great right.
