a carnival of outrage and murder.
Five murders are chronicled in Nash

Veto Of the Suffrage Bill.

PASSAGE OF THE BILL OVER THE VETO.
President Johnson sent message
to the Senate ca Monday, yetoing the
bill granting the extension Of suffrage
to colored persons in the District of
Columbia His objections to the bill
may be briefly summed mp The peo-
pie Of the District, he says, have not
asked for the bill, nor does he deem
it safe to bestow the privilege upon
persons who were lately degraded by
slavery.
Neither the Senate nor House could
see the force of Andys objections
The senate passed the bill by a vote of
twenty mine to ten, and the House by
a vote of one hundred and thirteen to
thirty-eight. SO the bill is part of
the law of the land in spite of A. j.

had retired from the ranks Of the

PLANTs.-Plants are frequently in
lured by injudicious watering. Some
persons seem to suppose that deluges of
water afford q remedy for all the evils
to which plants are subject. This is a
mistake. True, they require a consid-
srable amount of moisture, but not one
half the quantity which is oftentimes
applied, Evening is the best to water
them, andih every case cold water from
a cistern or q pump should be avoided.
The water should be warmed up to the
temperature Of the atmosphere before
Supplying it. Many plants are greatly
retarded in theirgrOwth BY cold water
being poured upon them. The quaint

let in the cold air in blasts than to oon-
fine the air in the stables so that tho
animals can breath it over and over

their skins and lungs, and the vapors
which rise from their manure both solid

A WORD FOR MULES. We are clad
to see that the use Of mules for all kinds
of hard, rough work is steadily gaining
ground. These animals arc not beau
tiful o musical, but they arc useful
and economical. They are fit for work
younger than the horse, since they are
put to service at threeyears old, though
they do not reach their maturity until
seven years of age. Their temper,
health and usefulness depend very much
on the manner Of breaking them. The
-so-ealled stubbornness and obstinacy
of this animal arises chiefly from the
abuse hO 10 wont TO receive when
young. He seldom if ever kicks or
bites those who treathim kindly. But
the fact is, that the club and whip and
whip-handle and boot tee are applied
to him without mercy and yet ho is
always expected to bo alwaysRs patient
and gentle as a cow.
The mule will do more work, and
require less grain than a horse he
is less liable to disease, and RECEIVERS
from siokness and injury quicker than
= horse. he works better when old,
and holds %outlonger. He seldom takes
fright, or runs away. He docs not
like o~yer-urging when drawing heavy
loads, and should never be driven very
fast. In making up spans Chose Is "a
15a hands high make most ssrviceabls
teams0 those Of similar dispositions
should be chosen and put together, 50
that they will work together pleasant
~ and with a will. The mule seemt
made for work-he thrives under it
and is better in spirits and temper than
when idle.
