How Our Hospitality is Returned.

The Richmond Times states that since
their return from New Orleans, the Sena-
torial excursionists have repealed the 18Th
section. They have thus cut off their most
prominent entertainers from all hopes Of
pardon, and handed them over TO the mer-
ces of the Underwoods and the Busteeds.
The Indian and Arab, when they have
broken bread and tasted salt in the tent or
cabin of an enemy. will not tomahawk or
stab him cruelty beneath the fifth rib But
not so generous are Wade and his comPan-
ions. They have virtually said to General
Bureaugard and their other unpardoned
Southern hosts eve have swilled your
champagne, devoured your rich viands,
rode free of charge over your railroads,
permitted you to pay our hotel bills, and
feasted upon the little that Sherman and
Butler left you, and now, in testimony oI
our appreciation of your many courtesies,
we repeal the section Of the law upon which
your hopes of pardon hangs, and hand yor
over to the hangman and executioner. -
The "molifying effects of the late excur
sion' do not promise to repay the SOutherI
people for their generosity and kindness tC
these men, The Radical bulldog Wade
after a surfeit of Southern luxuries, return
complacently to his "vomit."

A bullock of improved breed, at three
years old, will be superior both in size and
weight to one Of the coarse, common kind,
at five years. Two years feed and trou-
BILE are thus wasted upon those animals,
which by their nature are fitted to trans
mute hay and grain into hide and horn and
bone, rather than into meat. In qual1yOf
flesh, the we'll bred steer as far exceeds the
coarser brute, as the rich melting flesh Of
Bartlett or Virgalieu pear is superior to
the astriugent gritty substance Of wild
ing.
When choice cattle were rare, when
we'll bred Short Horn, or Hereford, or Ayr
shire, could only be weighed down by
purse of 81 900 to $4,000, it was TOO.
much to expect that men Of moderate
means, the great middle class Of farmers,
should become enthusiastic in improvin g
their stock. But now, the better breeds,
are so widely disseminated over the coun-
try. that they are easily and cheaply OBJ
tanned. Young bulls, thorough bred of
their several kinds, abound. Numbers Of
them are every year made into steers for
working purposes; but the use of these,
at proper age, even upon the meanest com
mon cows, and a few consecutive crosses
upon their progeny, will, in a few years,
/ give the breeder a herd, for all practical
uses, equal in beef and dairy value to the
! best, and which will return in their pro-
ducts, double the profit to be derived from
/ the inferior animals. The season for breed
ing neat cattle will soon be here. Let eve
~ owner of stock take time by the fore
lock, and secure, at least, the use of the
best animal that can be obtained within a
days travel, or more if need be. Two
years feed will be cheaply bought by a
weeks labor thus given at the first in i'm
proving the breed.
What is said above in regard to cattle, is
equally applicable to all kinds of stock
whether desired for home purposes or for
market We would have our readers
''stick pin" here, and remember that the
best breeds are always the cheapest.

Bel ewing you to be all l have ever
| charged you with being, confident in my
full ability to prove every charge, your are
politely privileged to let the law take its
/ course, when the world will know more
of your robberios, history, ambitions, etc,

The only favor I ask Of you is this-ii
you conclude to go on with your suit for
libel and damages to the amount of $780,
600, permit ne to plead my own case in

Breaking Up a Setting Hen and What

morning at breakfast.

"I hope she'll hatch en-, returned
Timothy.

With such a startling proof Of the truth

Lost By Not Taking Country Paper.
Generally speaking, but little importance
is attached to the taking of county news
paper. This neglect and Indifference had
its practical reward the other day
Some time ago a gentleman in this town
was appointed auditor to distribute the
funds in the hands of an administrator
among the creditors Notice of the audi
tor was published in two Of the country
papers.
1t so happened that few creditors re-
siding in a certain portion of the county
who bad collectively claims to the omount
I Of seven or eight hundred dollars, from the
neglect Of taking a country paper never
heard of the audit until after the report o
the auditor had been confirmed by thc
court. They then came into town to en-
/ quire about tho likelihood Of securing
their claims called upon an attorney, wh(
examined into the matter, and informed
them that they had forever lost their mo
ney, and we presume charged them fv
dollars for their information All this re
suited in being too penurious, too careles
to subscribe for a country paper.
These gentleman have learned lessor
that will last them the balance Of thei
lives, and serve as a warning to others who
from the same motive, fail to take thei
county paper.
There is scarcely a man in the communi
ty who will not be caught up some day o
legal notice, that does not take a paper
unless be clandestineIy reads his neigh
boris and every gentleman should be aboy
literary pilfering like this.

The LoyaI Militia Bill

On Saturday last the House of Repre-
sentatiyes at Nashville, passed, on its Sc
cond reading, and under what was regard
ed as a test vote, the Bill TO organize tho
Loyal Militia" Our information from
tbpt place is that it will probably pass both
Houses and become the law. The sub
stance and intent Of the measure may be
briefly given as a proposition to organize
one regimant Of militia in each Of the
eight Congressional Districts, including
whites and negroes, TO be armed and equiq-
ped, and subject to the orders Of Governor
Brownlow. No one whom the Radicals re-
gard as disleyal can be enlisted or hold an
Office in this organization. It's to be or
gauized, maintained and paid by the State.
The pretext for this measure is to pro-
lect the "oyal" from outrages by the dis
loyaI-the real object is to take possession
Of the ballot box of the State in August
next, and Perpetuate the Radical official
power at the point Of the bayonet.--.Shel-
