ANOTHER STRIKE.-The mania for 81

ANOTHER STRIKE-The mania for strikes is
certainly on the increase. We have news now
that, in certain district of France, the under
takers have struck-not exactly for higher
wages, but for a more equitable adjustment of
deaths. They are paid largely for attending
the funerals of the rich, and their payment de-
creases with the wealth of their subjects. And
what they complain of is, that so many more of
the poor die than of the rich? Why don't they
so to the Legislature for redress p
If the poor perish too fast, punish them
by fine and imprisonment If the rich don't
die fast enough, make it a capital offence

State of Illinois, is dead and he died
on or about the 14th day of April, A.

The above figures, says the Journal,
speak for tn ,mselyes. To be added to
them, however, is tho $4,000 which
was appropriated by the last Congress
Oh account of Mr.. Dlncoln's salary,
making altogether the total value Of
the personal estate to be about one
hundred and ten thousand dollars, TO
say nothing of the real estate described
in tho scedulo above. SO thrt the state
ment mado in the World that Mr.. Lin
coin saved nothing and left nothing
from his salary, and that Mrs. Lincoln
had no resources bat what remained
from the appropriation of Congress,
500, 900 and the rents OF the homestead,
returning altogether, but s1,7O0 per
year, cannot possibly DO true. That
Mr., Lincoln did not leave his family
wealthy IS very evident, but no one,
in view Of tho above inventory, will
say that they are in the deplorable con.
diuion of "want' and "destitution' in
regard TO which tho public has, with
30 much astohishment, just been in
! formed
We say this much not for the pur-
pose OF preventing personal contribu-
tions' from being maze to Mrs. Lin
coin, if she desired them, much less to
deter Congress from making further
appropriation for her support, which
we should be glad to have it do, but
simply in orderthat the people of the
nation may not suppose that Mrs Lin
coin is any thing like destitute circum-
stances. Her income may not be sulfi.
cient to meet all her wants and ncces-
sities, but it is certainty large enough
to maintain her at least as comfortable
as she lived before gong to Washing

Rotation of Crops.

"A correspondent of The Prairie
Farmer gives the following: "Fer
thirty years / have Practiced rota-
tion in farming which to me is good.
put two years in grain, and TIVE
years in grass. My grass seed is
mixed, and two parts timothy and
one part clover, and / SOW one peck
to the acre. This is a good proper
tien for both meadow and pasture;
it will keep down the weeds better
than any other course that / have
seen or practiced. Turn over the
sod at two years cid; to lie longer in
some places, the grass gets out, and
weeds or something else gets in, to
the injury of the other crops or
working of the land. The second
grain crop is the best time for the
grass seed to grow, for then it has
the full benefit of the decomposed
sod. Corn is, 1 think, the best crop
on the sod, where the land is suita-
BILE, for corn is more easily attended
and is less troubled with weeds; 9th
er crops are grown as circumstances
direct. In the beginning of my ex-
perience in rotation. tried with the
two years. course one field for fifteen
years without manure: at the end Of
the time it was worth twice as much
for farming purposes. as when I be-
gan, and to-day / think as well of it,
or better. than ever. keep as much
stock as will eat up all the hay and
pasture, and work up all the straw,
and return the whole to the farm in
manure"
