THE magnanimous character of re-
construction was never better. stated
than by the Hon. VIM N. EvARTs,
in the following extract from his
speech at the Cooper Institute meet
ing in New York on the 10th inst:
Now, this great problem has been
solved in this way; is it severe? We
have not executed any body for trea-
son, we have not confscated, We have
not banished. we have not deprived
of. civil rights, We have not disfran-
chised any but few prominent re-
bells; and it is one of the most remark
able things in the history Of this
pacifcation, that whereas all other
governments in other countries, after
suppressing rebellion. have made
severe enactments depriving Of rights
and making disqualifying discrimina-
tions, the first great act of the Ameri-
can Congress, after the suppression Of
our rebellion, has this noble title: :
AN ACT TO PROTECT ALL PERSONS
IN THE UNITED STATES IN THEIR
CIVIL RIGHTS AND PROVIDE THE
MEANS FOR THEIR vINDICATIoN."

/ Ir is not always safe to lend money
to young men because they have rich
fathers, Take for instance the fol-
lowing. which we copy from the New
York Times: A.4.Ngs 4h'se
We happened to see yesterday a
notice to the creditors of a bankrupt
of this city which was quite a curiosi-
ty in its way He is the son of one
of the wealthiest men on the CONT
nent. and his name is perfectly well
known to everybody. His fathers
great wealth has probably enabled
him to continue the practice he has
followed for years of borrowing money
from anybody and everybody whom
he could persuade to lend it. The list
of his creditors numbers two hundred
and FIVE, and the sums they have
loaned him range from 81, which is
the smallest, up to $13, 905, which is
the largest, and which stands against
the name of our philanthropic neigh
Dor Horace Greeley Probably every
man who has had anything to do with
business matters for the last ten years
has been all that time familiar with
this gentleman's habit Of getting his
checks cashed by his friends; yet here
are scores of persons whom he has
victimized in sums of So. 900. s., 900,
$1,000, $500, and so down to the small
est sums. The aggregate must amount
to nearly hundred thousand dollars.
We suggest to our neighbor Greeley
that he read over some of his latest
contributions to the Ledger on the.
subject of keeping out of debt and
taking care of money!

How TO Have MEALY PoTAToEs.-lt is
a very common thing in the spring to find
strong, watery potatoes on the table,, un-
less care has been taken to, select and pre-
serve them. A poor potato is the poorest
article of food that can be had; rs soon
as they begin to grow poor and wately,
the better part OF the root going 10 the
support of the sprouts; hence, to have
mcaly, nice potatoes, it is necessary to
keep them from exhausting themselves IN
this way An exchange gives the follow
ing method Of preserving the potatoes
from sprouting, which we hope will be
tried and approved. Take good, eound
potatoes and place them in tub or bar
rel, and pour boiling hot water over them;
letting them remain in the water until
the eyes are scalded SO they will not
sprout, dry the potatoes thoroughly in
the sun, and put them away in a box or
barrel in a cool, dry place. This will give
good, mealy potatoes all the time.-Ger-
maatovn Telegraph.

D1Ds'r R1sE.-In the year 1868, a NEE
ting was held,in Lebanon, indiana, for the
purpose of getting up-a supper and fair
for sick and wounded soldiers. Judge B.,
being loyal all over, was very active in
such matters, and was appointed chair
man of the meeting. There was quite a
number of ladies present. The business
progressed rapidly, and as most of the ar
ticlcs for supper were to be donated, the
Judge called, in his ludicrous manner, on
those present to know how--rfiuch they
could contribute. Almost enough was
given to complete the arrangements, when
some one suggested that it would be nee
cssary to have some milk.
"oh, yes" said the Judge, rising, with
great dignity, sail Joung ladies who give
milk will please rise
The young ladies didn't rise.

.GEArTING.-!The Germantown Telegraph
says every farmer should learn to 90 his
own grafting-an easy operation when
one knows how. A sharp knife and tine
saw are prerequisites to the operation.
Saw off the limb to be grated, and split
che stock so as rot to bruise it. Shape the
scion wedge fashion, both ways, with the
bark uninjurcd. Place the rim Of the
wood of stock and scion exactly together
that the sap. may interminglc, and wax
the section of contact we'll over. Two
buds to a graft are sufficient. In making
wax, take four parts Of rosin, one of bees
wax, and one of the best kind of tallow.
Melt and mix together, and when wanted,
heat and apply to the point of junction OF
the stock and graft. The heating can be
done on portable stove, or by asmall fire
made on the ground whefe the labor is to
be performed.

CUTTING GRAIN CENTURY AGo.-A
correspondent OF the Germantown PENN
telegraph gives 1756 as the date at which
the common grain cradle was introduced,
and describes the mode ofharvesting In use
at that time-as follows:
They took the common scythe and bored
a hole in the spath near the lower nib,
which was bent overthe heel ofthe scythe
and fastened, the rod being about twelve
inches off from the snath; string was
tied across from the iron rod to the snath
in several places for the purpose ofpreyen-
ting the grain from falling through. With
this rough tool the farmer cut his
grain by always keeping the grain on bis
left hand, instead of the right as we now
do, so as to support the snath. Following
him was fellow with q reapihg hook, to
put into sheares, and then followed the
binder. For every two mowers and two
gatherers there was one binder, who could
keep up except inheavy grain. The usual a
days work for these FIVE men was five
acres, if the grain stood up.

During the summer of 1861, while
tho bospitals in Richmond were crowded

On one. occasion bright-eyed damsal OF
about seventeen summers was distributing
flowers and speaking tender words OF en-.
couragement to those around her, when
she observed q young officer who was suf-
tering from his wounds, exclaim, 80, my

TIle .dfarll1 aud 0ardelr,
A New system of Labor.

Several planters in Kinds and Madison
counties, Miss. believe that they have
discovered this desirable modus operandi.
They don't believe that working large
gangs of hands, with one or two TO watuh
them is the best way with free blacks.
They don't believe inhavinga negro quar-
ter They dc on't pretend to undertake
the raising Of meat for their hands. They
fence out their woodlands, and then place
the blacks i'll cabins several hundred yards
apart, and on the borders of the wood
lands To each family of blacks they as
sign such amount of land as they can cul-
tivatc we'll, and loan cachztllrcc lnborcrs
two mules, and other ncedful articles
The blacks grow corn, cotton, and other
things; and half the crops, after deduct
ing the cost Of supplies furnished. is given
to the black producers. Living on the
border of the woodland, each family Of
blacks. without trouble, raises its own
pigs which fatten on the mast in the
woods. When, owing to the drought,
there is partial failure of the corn crop,
the wood-5uds oD the trees are certain to
be checked, and thus throwing the
strength of the trees in the fruit buds,
there is always most abundant crop OF
acorn and other mast.
Where there is a gang of sixty hands,
the supplying of meat has been great
trouble. If the meat was purchased from
q commission merchant, its cost reduced
greatly plantation profits: and if it was
grown on the plantation, it cost much
trouble. Heretofore, one OF the greatest
annoyances of plantation life has been
the difficulty of getting the blacks to take
care of the plantation stock, but when
each family of blacks looks after its own
stock and raises its own meat, the diff
Guilty is surmountcd. I'm every gang of a
hundred hands thero. is certain TO be at
least fifteen lazy ones, and In the tleld or
dinariIy the whole gang is content with
the pace Of the fifteen most lazy ones.
Where q family has its own allotment,
and is to profit by the amount OF the crop,
the head of the family is pretty certain to
keep the others we'll up with the. work.
Each working family having its humble
homo some distance from others, that pill
fcring, which is so prevalent in and about
quarters, is pretty much done away. The
friends of this system arc sangulne that
it's general adoption will give to the South
such an organization Of labor as it needs
will tend to stimulate productions, will
advance the physical, social and moral
condition of the negro; will harmonic
the interests OF employer and employee,
and cause the Southern States to blossom
with prosperity. This system of labor is
not unlike Che cottier system of Scotland.
It's advocates claim that it is infinitely
better than efforts to import foreigners
and learn them to cultivate cotton, and to
harmonic their modes OF working with
those only familiar with negro labor.
