New Agricultural Machine.

The committee upon Agricultural I'm
plements, at the American Institute
Farmers Club, reported recently upon
q new invention Of Mr.. NishwitZ, for
working the earth, and thus described
it:
An appropriate name for it would be
the farmers revolver. 1t is a double
barreled six-shooter, and as effective an
implement of husbandry as the revolver
is of warfare. 1t is not harrow, but it
is a perfect substitute for that unsatis-
factory implement. Suppose you i'm
agine each of the twelve teeth in a
triangular harrow mounted upon q
wheel twelve inches in diameter,
you will then have an idea of
the appearance of the farmers
revolver. These wheels being set
upon an angle to the line of draught,
their sharp, drill-hardened edges cut
into the ground, turning it uplike little
plow-sbares. 1t mellows the surface OF
recently turned sod better than any
other implement the committee ever
saw. 1t never tears up sod as the
harrow does, but it mellows and revers-
es the surface, putting it in most adj
mirable order for wheat. For covering
wheat, or any sowed grain, it is most
excellent implement, as it cannot draw
it together as is done sometimes by the
harrow. Unlike that, this, while it
sometimes mellows the surface, does
not pack the earth below. Made of n
suitable size to work between the rows
of hoed crops, this revolver would be
great weed exterminator.

The Right Of EIpatriasisn.

The President, a few days since, trans.
mitted to Congress all the documents
bearing on the claims Of foreign Gov
ernments to the military services OF
their subjects who, having become nat
uralized citizens of the United States
return To their native country. The
laws of France do not recognize the nat
uralization of subjects who, at the time
of emigration, are liable to military
duty. SO that they are liable to arrest
and punishment as deserters whenever
they return. A modification of the laws
on this subject is recommended
by Secretary SEWARD, and is ne
cessary to the end that justice
nav be done to American citizens thus
situated Nearly the same difficulty
exists in the case of the Prussian Gov
ernment, the laws in regard to military
service heing very stringent. There is,
however, an appreciation on the part OF
the authorities, of their injustice, and
il the United States were to take up
every case in which its citizens are thus
wronged, the result would be an adapta-
ton of the laws to the necessities of
their condition. 1t is manifestly unfair
that after many years of residence in this
country and perhaps service in our army,
naturalized citizens, who so abroad for
pleasure OF business, should find them
selves seized and held for military
service. 1t is an outrage that our Gov
eminent ought by no means to permit,
and ii will be a serious reflection on
our national honor if prompt remon-
STRANGE does not follow every insult
thus offered by foreign rulers to Amer
lean citizens. Naturalized citizens are
as well entitled to protection as-those
who are native to the land. Our Gov
eminent should insist upon the recog-
milton of the rights of its citizens in
aNprv countrv

sense requires that stop should BE- put
to so gross and indecent an abuse OF the
sacredness of prayer. The absurd and
senseless fustian 30 often uttered under
the guise of prayer is an offence no less
against good taste and the decencies of
life, than against reverence and religion.
If Congress and other public bodies
would restrict the prayer to be said at
the opening Of their sessions to the
Lords Prayer, or to some other rever-
ential and appropriate form, they would
do something toward redeeming official
chaplaincy from the disrepute into
which it is rapidly falling.

ROLLING GRAIN.-The practice of
rolling grain in the spring is not as gem
eral as it ought to be. Now and then
the winter and early spring have been
so favorable to the crop rs not to make
rolling necessary. But in three seasons
out of four it is necessary, and doubt
less adds considerable to the produc-
tiveness of the crop. The thawings and
freezings of the ground, throwing or
spewing out the roots and exposing
them to the drying winds of March,
very seriously affects the crop. Passing
roller over it as soon as the soil lis fit
to enter upon, presses the roots into
their beds, and gives them support on
which the cropmust depend.-l GermdH-

Prestisution Of Prayer.

If it were proper for man to speak for
Infuity-to express belief as to what
is pleasing or otherwise to the Creator
he would be bound to declare that the
perversion and abuse of prayer in the
present age of the world is sin that
may we'll invoke the judgment of
Heaven, as it shocks and disgusts every
true and intelligent Christian upon
earth. The custom of appointing q
chaplain to every throne and to every
political body in Europe, to do
the special praying to order and to suit
the wants of the party employing is bad
enough, but to create such Offices in this
country to be thus perverted is far
worse. The Chaplains of Congress and
some of the State Legislatures appear
to regard themselves as engaged to make
special appeals for particular measures
which their friends desire to prevail by
vote Of the body with which they are
connected-or to invoke anathemas of
Heaven upon those who oppose certain
measures. Nothing but the mercy Of
Deity can save these blasphemous
wretches frsm being stricken
down as they rise to addre IS their mock
prayers to the Throne of Grace. 1t Is
proper that the assistance Of Heaven
be invoked for Congress and the
State Legislatures, (the Lord knows
how much they need it,) but it should
he done only by true minister who
rises above the petty schemes of party,
that en- gage the attention of the body
for whom he invokes the Divine aid.
The New York Times has the follow
ing sensible remarks in reference to the
subject: ..tI
The Massachusetts legislators seem to
he suffering from the tendency Of polit.
ical chaplains to deal in stump speeches
or party diatribes under prctence OF
praying, to which we have already re.
ferred. The Senate has been debating
resolution against personal allusion,

bers who vote for . license law, and be
labors them numerically while pretend
ing to be supplicating the Almighty fol
blessings on their heads.
This is only new development o.
the same tendency. Chaplains elected
and paid by political party for pray
ing, very naturally infer, like all Other
political employees, that they must worl
for the party that pays them. Like
ether politicians, they belong to the
bread and butter brigade" for thai
famous organization is by NO means re
stricted to the followers Of Presiden
johnson. They pray, therefore, for thei

and fervor that would be far more be

"arvest-Mo on and Indian Summer.
What is meant by the harvest-moon? is it
ever different in harvest-time from what it is
in any other seasonsof the year? Thelanswer
is, yes, it is. In autumn, when the moon is in
PISCES and Aries, she is exactly opposite the
sun IN Nlrgo and Libra, and, owing to the pee
cuharltV OF the nodes in the ecliptic rises soon
after sunset for several Successive evenings
some years not gaining on time more than an
hour and three-quarters in a whole week. This
fuli-moon week occurs in our ordinary harvest
time, and at no other period in the year; and
as her light is ,strohg, steady and almost uni
form for a week, it IS special benefit to men
engaged in harvesting, and hence is called the
'harvest-moon." Some years the harvest
moon IS much more noticeable and powerful
than others. .di1e sHaiflt tr,h 7fNA
The Indian Summer is, we believe, peculiar
