he was taken any garment such as is

his shoulders a water proof article of

His wife did not toll any person that
her husband might hurt somebody if
he got exasperated she behaved like

manifestly he was chagrined at being
taken INTO custody. Our soldiers be-

,,ov 10 Educate Fsrmers.

Agricultural schools are. - We per.
ceive from German Journals, "a mucn
contested point in Germany as here, the
only differepce being that they have CON
siderable experience in regaad TO them,
vhife here VIC have none
The institution which has now secared
universal appreciation is the agricultural
school at Ehdesheim, the first purely
theoretical school of that kind in Han
over. It had TO achieve success in spite
Of very great difficulties, and to work
upward from small beginnings. Its
founder was the father Of the present
director, Nicholson, who received very
little support from the State--in the be
ginning only o2OOper annum, and since
1865 $500. It commenced with five
scholars now IL has sixty. It's fruits
are that in Hanover the old agricultu
raj colleges, SO expensive to the State
and Of SO little use, are being rapidly
abandoned. and the true idea established
that the theory Of farming must be learn
ed in school, its practice on farm, or in
actual rural life. rgvssr s.s-.rF
The following are the fundamental
points Of the Hildesheim school.
First The scholars must be over six
teen years or age and he familiar with
practical farming.
Second The scholars are kept in strict
discipline.
Third. The expenses Of the scholars
must be moderate, and no attempt is
made to make money out OF tire labor of
the scholars. In Hildesheim board,
lodging, and tuition are only seventy to
ninety dollars per year, excluding only
bedding, fuel, and light.
Fourth Tho first year ia the dearest
and regular reduction takes place in
price, so that scholars arc induced to be-
come thorough in their studies.
Fifth. Regular examinations are held,
and certificates of competence are issued
only to those who deserve them. The
regular course is now two and a half
years
The former so-called theoretical as
well as practical agricultural schools are
opposed for the following reasons:
First. The work Of the scholars is
either n mere triae and then useless, or
is abused by the owners or directors
of the school for profit, and therefore in
furious. s.t..s. ....ss
Second The main object Of all agri-
cultural schools should be to educate the
scholar to think, to learn to acquire and
TO apply correct principles, and not to
do that which the old system led to,
namely, to make him blind imitator of
the practices Of the normal agricultural
farm schools which he attended.
Third. The mode OF boarding and
ladging inseparable from such schools
impairs the morality of youths.
Fourth. Theoretical schools should be
established in large towns, 50 that the
scholars may board with friends or citi
Gems Of the middle classes. :.
We hail with satisfaction this new
movement, because it has not its origin
in Government, but in individual enter
prise. We in the United States are about
to run through all the follies of agricul-
tural schools, which will make bad far
mers at great expense to the public.

Political Economy Unfolded.

Says the Cincinnati Times, in remark
ing upon this subject "Some editorial
disciple of DIR. Franklin, in his system
of political economy applied to individ-
ual enrichment, has shown how a snimble
sixpence' may be converted into for
tune. He gives a table showing that "a
cents saved per day would yield, at q
per cent. compound interest $4,000 in
fifty years, 81 cents q day, $500 in the
same time; 81 cents day, $500; IL
cents, Sl1 600, 134, $14, 800 274, $40,

s24. SS7 900, 81. 10, S116, 200; and 81 81,
saved per day would yield S145,000 in
fifty years. So that il a young man at
ri years Of age would save 27a cents
every day, or just 500 per year, he
would at IL years of age be worth S29,-
900, when just at the time he must close
out for this world he would possess a
competency AT 81 years of age he
would have S15, 400, and at 81 wears of
age he would have $1,000, which would
be enough to support him in an old man $
simplicity tue balance of his days. These
facts are certainly worth considering -
There are many who could not save by
hook or crook not more than $50 a year,
and they must have the best of luck to
do that. The balance of mankind might,
few of them. save S1.37 per day, or
$500 per year-thus rcelizing $50, 500 at
fifty one years of age, S77.0GO at sixty
one, and Sl45,U0O at seventy one years
of age; but the larger portion Of the re
main0er, who are on the other side of
the circle, could not save more than 81
cents day. or $40 year, giving them
ut fifty lone years of age 81, $50, at sixty
one, $3,0So, and at seventy, $500
which would be . great deal better than
nothing. On the whole, the workingmen
of this highly favored land could, if they
would, save $40 year on the average,
which would yield at six per cent com
pound interest, with no losses by broken
creditors, or on mortgage with bad
title, S3,l6a, At fifty-one years OF age

SUGAR PLUMs-M Girsndin, the great
confectioner of Paris, adopts singular
method to prevent his female clerks from
stealing the sugar plums
The first day of her arrival the new
clerk is shut up for nearly a day in the
room where the reserves are kept, with
permission to help herself freely to what
ever she wants. She does not fail to
avail herself of this permission, and en-
joys the feast so much that she is sorry
TO be liberated from the place of con
finemcnt. But in a little while she is
seized with such violent indigestion
and heartburn that she bitterly repents
of her greediness, and becomes disgust
ed with sugar plums ever after. Il have
in my employ, said NJ. Girandia, s'girls
who for six years have never put bon
bon to their lips" 'Mademoiselle,' said
NJ. Girandin, on receiving new clerk,

things, and not to eat them" -
