About the Door.

A bit of shrubbery in the yard, vine
climbing by trellis--a strip of refresh
ing green spread from the door, are sure
to make place of greater marketable
value, which with many is q considera-
ton to be thought of before any other.
Such need no further appeal to their
sense of neatness. But those who really
love the suggestion of beauty for their
own sake will not omit the turf patch,
the shrubbery and the hedge and vine,
because they make almost any home
more attractive and lovely, and cause
the sentiments to sprout like the very
leaves and buds themselves How few
stop to consider what a powerful associ-
alton lies lurking in every simple but
familiar object that holds us almost as
steadily and strongly to home as wife
and children; they are closely associ-
ated with these in fact, and can with
difficulty be separated. Therefore we
say to all, brush up about the door and
plant near by an object of simple
beauty. 1t will bear fruit in
the heart an hundred fold. By
far the most successful draining ope-
rations in the United States are on the
farm of Mr.. John johnson, near Geneva,
New York. During period Of twenty
years or more, he has accomplished the
laying of over 255, 900 tiles, or over forty
seven miles. An instance of the beneil-
cial effect produced was given a few
wears ago, when by the destructive action
of the midge, the crop of wheat upon the
adjoining farms was reduced seven
bushels per acre, while he obtained
twenty nine bushels. The danger from
wet or partially wet lands is never fully
apprehended; the retention OF water IN
the soil impairs in various ways Its fer
tiIity; while, preventing pulverization
hy the plow or harrow, and the circula-
ton of air to the roots of the plants, it
nourishes constant growth OF noxious
plants. Even the cattle and sheep pas
tured upon wet land are subject to
diseases from which those in dry fields
are com paratively free and are,
moreover, pestered by flies and mosqni-
toes, which disappear as soon as the
same lands are drained. Man himself is
the greatest sufferer from undralned
lands, which tend to engender levers and
agnes, and by the GOODNESS and damp
ness of the air are effective agents in
producing rheumatism and affections of
the throat A very important disadvan'
tage is contained in the singular fact,
fully established by experience, that un-
drained lands are more liable to suiier
from drouth, than those thoroughly
drained. The former in a dry time be-
come baked and compact, and do not
readily absorb moisture from the atmos-
phere but a well pulyerized and open
soil receives into its pores and absorbs
like a sponge the dew and aqueous vapor
in the air. In the fulfllment Of that old
adage, "He who causes two blades OF
grass to grow where only one grew be-
fore, is public benefactor, we believe
that drainage, manure and cultivation
are the most effective agents.

Fun In Animals.

Fun is confined by no means 10 man.
II is frequently asserted that, although
naluralists have discovered and tanned
the laughing jackass, the laughing hy-
ena, the laughing cockatoo, there is but
one animal INDUCES in what you
might call laugh" and that is our old
friend, the dog The horse laugh is n
humbug; but the horse would laugh IL
be could, for he is not deficient in the
sense Of the humorous. We have known,
in our time, a sly horse which would
slide up to bystander and put his hoof
on the unfortunate wight's foot in man
ner which would not soon be forgotten.
1t was a common trick with him but
no professed practical joker could have
done il with his sole in more inadver-
tent manner.
The comedy Of "The World Mask, I"
declares a horse is gentleman and
this may give us key to the gravity of
our Eclipses and Dobbin, since horse
laugh has long been regarded as any.
thing but gentlemanly. Col. 0'Kelley's
parrot would scream for the dog Rover
until he obeyed her summons, 4and then
frightened him away by yelling Get
out Small birds chase each other
about in play; but perhaps, the conduct
of the crane and the trumpeter is the
most extraordinary. The latter stands
on one leg, hops about in the most eccsn-
trio manner, and throws sumersaults.
All animals pretending violence in their
play stop short in exercising it. The
dog takes the greatest precaution not to
injure by his bite, and the orangoutang,
in wrestling with his keeper, pretends to
threw him, and makes feints of biting
him.
Some animals carry out in their play
the semblance OF catching their prey;
young cats, for instance, leap after every
small and moving object, even to the
leaves strewed by the autumn wind they
crouch and steal forward, ready for the
spring, the body quivering, and the tail
vibrating with emotion, they bound on
the moving leaf, and again spring for
ward to another. Benger saw young
jaguars and cougars playing with round
substances like kittens, Birds of the
magpie kind are full of mischief. There
is story Of tame magpie that was seen
in garden gathering pebbles, and with
much solemnity and studied air buried
them in a hole made to receive a post
After dropping each stone it cried cur
rack.l" triumphantly, and set out for
another. On examining the spot, poor
toad was found in the hole, which the
magpie was stoning for his amusement.
There is fun in animals and birds. In
deed there is.

Tho Southern Blacks on 1.-The Road to

fontlcal Ruin.
The New York Commercial AdUer-
tiser, leading Radical paper, offers the
following suggestions TO the freedmen Of
Richmond. The conduct ofthis class Of
society has attracted a great deal Of
attention at the North. II has been pro.
scriptive, obtrusive, intolerant, violent,
offensive and disorderly Nothing has
so much turned the tide Of public
opinion against the convention as the
clamorousness Of ignorant and ill'man-
nered and unworthy blacks Of this city
for equality ard for Office, and their
vindictive and proscriptive defamation
towards the whites. The advice of the
Advertiser, let it be remembered, is the
advice Of Radical, and must be so
read. We copy it below;
Now we warn these Southern blacks
that if they continue to follow the advice
of such characters, they will surely be led
on TO their political ruin. IL, instead OF
needing the wise and moderate counsels
of such men as Governor Pierpont, they
20 astray after the Hunnicutts, they will
disasirously damage their own cause.
"They have seen in the result Of the
recent elections that great many North
ern Republicans are opposed to granting
them suffrage. That right has by no
means been insured to them as yet, If,
through their folly and infatuation, the
call of convention is defeated, and re-
construction brought TO standstill, Con.
gress may fall back upon some other
plan which does not embrace negro suf
frage. Even the extreme Radicals Of the
North may become so disgusted with
the ballot. They certainly regard with
anything but approval the recent conduct
of the Richmond blacks, Such conduct
will do more than all other causes COM
bined to strengthen the prejudice pre-.
vailing against them.
Whatever sympathies Republican
leaders may have in common with the
blacks, they are not prepared to receive
distinction from them and stand back
while they run the political machine. 1t
is for them to follow-not to lead; and
they may learn from the result of the
recent elections that unless they are
willing to do this, they may not only
ALLEVIATE their Northern friends, but
wholly lose the boon of suffrage which
the military bill Of reconstruction has
held out to them. If the call for a
Convention is defeated in Virginia after
vigorous effort on the part of both
white and black Unionists to carry it,
Congress may still adhere to the military
plan. If, however, it is defeated through
the failure of the blacks to CO operate
with the whites, Congress, we repeat,
may from necessity as well as disgust,
develop new mode of reconstruction
based upon something besides negro
suffrage. If the blacks are prudent,
they will take warning in time, and
swing clear of the disorganizers who are
endeavoring to persuade them that the
work of Southern reconstruction is and
will continue to be in their hands, come
what may"

We clip the following brief paragraph
from the Raymond Gazette, and beg
leave'to call the attention of Gen. Ord to
the information it contains fit is not
the purpose of the military authorities
to enforce the order forbdding armed
assemblages, common decency requires
that it should be revoked. Perhaps the
authorities are afraid OF old Mygatt and
his penitentiary scoundrels of the Loyal
League. But if this is so, they should
ask for reinforcements from another de-
partment. We do not think, however,
that the "boys in blue have anything
to fear from the white members of the
Loyal League, except robbery. II they
have any valuables, we advise that a
sharp watch be kept over them, whenever
and wherever white Loyal Lacquer is
visible. The last one of them will steal

know it and that is the reason why the

the negroes and their leaders become
more defiant and threatening aud mena-
cling in their manner and language to-
ward the whites; and we are told that
on last Saturday nearly every negro from
the country was armed and that an
armed company marched from one neigh
borhood under regular officers to the vii
lage. Our citizens are ready for any
turn which this sort of demonstration
would indicate. We are not all afraid of
the negroes; for, in case of an emergen.
cy, they would soon be disposed Of But
we do not wish to see a collision, or any
thing akin to one, for the results might
be horrible. The negroes and their dirty
leaders have been granted every possible
freedom in this place at their meetings
they have been treated with respect at
every hand, and in no wise been inter-
fered with, nor will they be molested so
long as they conduct themselves pro-
perly. We suggest to their leaders, how.
ever, that the whites are not prepared to
submit quietly to these armed political
meetings. They look too menacing
The attention of Gen. Ord is respectfully
invited to this matter. He is the proper
regulator"

A New View of the Finance ous,tiOr

A New View Of the Finance Question.
A few days ago two Radicals engaged
in the discussion of the finance question,
the conversation running nearly as fol-
lows:
Said one to the other, "Do you not
think 6 per cent interest quite enough
for any man to make off his govern
mentT
Certainly"
"Well, if a man makes more than that
is he not guilty of usury ?"
Most certainly, and the worst kind
Of usury. The laws of all States and
cou ntries protect the victims of usury
and require the usurer to disgorge in all
cases the excess of interest aud in some
cases even more.
Now you have answered my ques-
tions as | thought you would touching
these two points, and | think you will
agree with me in another, and that is,
that we, the people Of the United States,
ought to do justice to the bondholders. "
"That is most evident; and justice
requires that we make them refund the
excess Of interest they have taken, and
to settle with them on the basis Of G per
cent"

kind, and find that a man who took

Thu Nsw Elsntric Lipht.

An exhibition of the working Of new
method for producing light by means Of
electricity, the invention Of Professor
Nollet, of Paris, was made at the Battery
last evening. The Illuminating appa-
ratus having been placed on the root of
the barge office, threw very clear and
penetrating light to great distance. So
strong was the light that the captain Of
one of the revenue cutters informed the
company that he had read his newspaper
by it at the distance of nearly six miles,
and at the Narrows the ordinary gas
light displayed from the tower of the
barge office was entirely lost sight of in
the greater brilliancy of its new rival.
The apparatus for producing electri-
city is quite simple, consisting of several
series of horseshoe magnets-ff fly eight
magnets in all--arranged in cylindical
form in frame, within which is a revolv-
ing cylinder thickly set with bobbins of
soft wire, which, by the motion of the
cylinder, are made to pass very rapidly
between the poles Of the magnets. The
action of the magnets on these revolving
points generates a large amount of elec-
tricity, which is carried through
conducting wire to the point
where the Illuminating apparatus
is placed, aud thence back to
the generate. At the illuminating point
the circuit is broken, and the two ends of
the wire are tipped with pencils formed Of
the reinous substance which collects in
the retorts of gas works These points
become intensely heated by the passage of
the current, and give out an intense white
light. AS the points burn of, these car
bon pencils are fed up by clockwork,
SO as to preserve uniform distance be-
tween them. The expense of producing
the light, exclusive of the entire cost of
the power that is required to drive
the generating machine, is said to be
about two cents per hour. In this case,
the generator was driven by a small An
drews oscillating engine of about two
horse power, which was ample for tie
purpose. The same generating appa-
ratus may be used to supply several light
houses at the same time, if in the same
neigborhood, as the electricity can be
conducted through wires several miles,
as in the magnetic telegraph, -Ne,0
