IHE CRorS IN lREASD.-The latest reports
IN reference TO the crops in Ireland are more
opeiul and satisfactory. According to the
Irish papers the rain has been general. and
it, effect has been most beneficial on pota-
toes, which, unless spoiled by the blight, viii
he an excellent crop. Turnips. too, Of the
late sort especially, have been improved by
the rain, ana will not prove a total loss, as
was expected, for some time. Even flax in
s M quarters Is turning out better than was
anticipated, though it cannot by any means
he regarded as even an average crop.
Wheat is still reported as in splendid condi-
ton oats poor, but rather better in some
lart- than was looked for and barley is a
far crop, 50 far as present appearances
en- be Judged.
WHAT SLACKED LINE WILL Do-A thrifty
iarmer, who &c believes in making old things
last in these times, says -. There Is one
thing that nearly everybody knows, and hard
ly any one attends to-that is, to sprinkle
lime ou their roofs once "A year. either in fall
or spring. If the shingles are covered
over - thick with moss, the lime soon clears
it of, leaving the roof clean and white. and
good Tor a dozen years longer. 1t ought to
be put ON pretty thick, and rainy dav Is
lest for the work Strong wood ashes will
answer almost as well to keep old roofs in re-
pair, but they viii not look az nice To
make new shingles last three or four times
the usual period, they need only to be soak
ed a few days in a tank half full Of thick
lime water, which must be stirred up well
before the shingles are put in.
Grass FOR IIoRsEs-M Many think that
horses that are kept in the stable all summer
p ould not be allowed TO eat grass They
think it will make the horse soft. wishy-
washy, and that it will throw him out Of
condition for hard work. This IL particu-
larly the ease with some of the trainers of
irottng and running horses. And horses
that are kcpt'p for farm and other work
are refused grass, because their drivers think
they will not eat hay 50 well. This was
f rmerly the case, more than it is now. But
Il ese are all erroneous opinions and practices
ard are giving wy gradually, to a more rea- /
= nsble and natural system Of feeding.
Grass is the natural food of the horse. 1t
r. cooling and healthful food 1t keeps the
bowels open and sharpcns the appetite. 1t
promotes digestion and removes fever from
the system. Therefore, by all means. let
the horse nip grass fifteen or twenty minutes
daily. Whether training for trotting or run

liz, The horse VIII lose none his speed by

In the HERALD recently we published tele-
gram from London, based on unquestionable
authority, to the effect that DR.. Livingstone.
the great African traveller, was still alive. It
is confidently stated that all doubts of the
safety of Livingstone are now dispelled. The
announcement has gladdened millions OF hearts
in all lands where the intelligence has been
received. It is triumph of Civilizations
triumph which is destined to produce most
abundant fruit. 1t is now proved to demon
stration that the cowardly Africans who de-
serted him basely lied to save their own mis-
erable lives. The Doctor is not only alive, but
his journey of exploration has been successful,
and his presence in England may soon be ex-
pected.
We have said that the assurance that Liv-
ingstone still lives is a success to civilization.
What with the discoveries he has already made
and made known to the world, with the dis
coveries of Burton, of Beke, of Speke and
Grant, of Baker and his wife, it is now safe
to conclude that the secrets of the unknown
regions of Africa will be revealed with COM
parative fulness. We have been startled with
the discoveries of Livingstone already. We
have since been startled with the discoveries
of Speke and Grant and with the discoveries
of Baker. Much, however, as they have done,
it is not too much to say that If Livingstone is
spared to reach home we shall receive from
him an addition to our knowledge which will
leave all previous information completely in the
shade.
To Livingstone himself his homecoming will
be strange and curiously suggestive. He will
be welcomed as if from the grave. His obitu-
aries have been written in almost all languages
and his character has been carefully and low
ingly estimated 1t is recorded of the great
Emperor Charles the Fifth that, to know what
it was to be dead, he caused himself to be
cofined and gave instructions that the entire
service for the dead should be faithfully gone
through. His wishes, of course, were fully COM
piled with, and the still living monarch, though
sretired from business" had the satisfaction Of
enjoying in the monastery at Juste, as far as
was possible, all the honors accorded by the
Church to the illustrious dead. Livingstone,
however, has a far higher honor in store for
him. It will be his privilege to know not only
that he has died and been buried, but that he
has passed out of life loaded with the honors
and eulogies of all civilized nations; that he
has died universally regretted, and that not .
single stain-drop has fallen upon his fair and
well earned fame. Such an honor falls to few
of the sons of men. In Livingstone's case,
however, it is an honor which no honorable
man will grudge. He is true hero and IL
justly entitled to heros praise.

there is nothing under the heavens to do but TO
march new line of men up in front Of the
reDei oreastworks, to be shot down as fast AZ
they take their position. Grant, I repeat, is
an obstinate fool and butcher" Such is the
estimate Mrs. Lincoln had of these prominent
individuals. sThe public can Judge as to the
correctness Of the sketches. We are not sur
prised at the bitter anhmosity of the radicals to
Mrs. Lincoln, and their persecution Of her, nor
at the hostility of those whose characters and
conduct she has graphically depicted They
have not spared her, and we think this is only
paying them of justly. Mrs. Keckley, or Mrs.
Lincoln herself, might make great many other
revelations that would be interesting and useful.
The New York herald., 1868-04-20


Mrs. Lincoln has been represented as dull
woman, and her enemies, particularly those of
the radical press have tried to ridicule her in
every possible way. But it is evident from the
book Behind the Scenes" just issued, that
she is much shrewder, more sagacious, and has
better knowledge Of the character Of men
than the world has given her credit for. Mrs.
Keckley, the colored dressmaker and con-
Hdante at the White House, and the author, or
reputed author, of Behind the Scenes"
shows that Mrs. Lincoln saw pretty clearly
into the characters and motives Of the promi
nent men that surrounded her husband.
Though the lamented President Lincoln did
not lack penetration, he was sometimes led
astray in his estimation Of those about him by
his conHding and generous nature. His wife
appears not to have been so easily deceived.
Mrs. Keckley's book shows this, with many
other curious things which cannot fail to make
sensation among all connected with the
republican court" during Mr. Lincoln's Presi-
dency.
Mrs. Lincoln's opinion of Mr.. Chase, Mr..
Seward, Andrew johnson, General Mcclellan,
General Grant and others may be regarded
as being little extreme, but II is quite graphic
OF Mr.. Chase she remarked to her husband -
"Yes, one Of your best friends, because 1t is his
interest to be So He lie anything for Chase
II he thought he could make anything by 1t
he would betray you tomorrow" Or Mr..
Seward she said to the President - wish
you had nothing to do with that man. He
cannot be trusted" And, again, "Seward is
worse than Chase; he has no principle. "
When Andrew Johnson was about to be made
military Governor Of Tennessee she remarked,
Aercely, "He is q demagogue, and If you
place him in power, Mr.. Lincoln, mark my
words, you viii rue IL some day" She re-
marked Of General Mcclellan, t" He lie hum
hug" When asked why she said so she re-
piled, "Because he talks 80 much and does so
little. tell you he is humbug, and you win
have TO find some man TO take his place-that
is, II you wish to conquer the South" Speak
ing Of General Grant she observed -"He is
butcher, and Is not At to be at the head
Of ON army" And when the President said,
by way of defending the General, "But he
has been very successful, she replied, ''yes,
he generally manages to claim victory, bu
such victory. He loses two men for th'
enemys one. If the war should remain fou
years longer, and he in power, he would de

prove to be the case, we trust that General
Buchanan, who seems disposed to act fairly
and impartially will reject the illegal votes.
The same despatch alluded to also reports
that the conservatives are sanguine that they
have carried New Orleans by decided major
ity. The white vote was known to be con-
siderably ahead, and as many negroes openly
voted against the radical ticket this may prove
to be true At any rate we trust that it is. As

THE OCEAN STEAM RAcE.-Ocean racing
assumed q new phase when the match was
made between the two vessels Cuba and City
of Paris, of the Cunard and lnman lines, TO
test their speed across the Atlantic. Both
steamships started on Saturday for Queens
town, not exactly in racing trim, but in the
regular commercial way, with cargo and pas
sengers aboard. They are vessels OF good
reputation for speed, the average runs OF the
Inman ship being a little better than the
Cunarder. Although the race Is not OF an In
ternational character, both lines being British,
still there win be good deal Of interest felt
at both sides of the Atlantic as to the result
If ever we are fortunate enough to have an
American line Of steamers on the ocean this
race may be followed by another, in which
national rivalry will give additional xest TO the
contest.

course, toned to the palates Of both ma

of way resembled the bill Of Dotheboys Hall.
The gentleman entertained said great many
pleasant things Of the entertainers and the
profession generally, which were received
with unctuous good grace. Mutual admirs-
ton had full sway, and when such is the case
OF public festivities everything goes as merry

General schonesd ON Reconstruction In
Virginia.

Virginia.
On Friday General Schofeld addressed to
the Virginia Reconstruction Convention, sitting
in Richmond, some words OF broad, simple,
sensible advce-words without passion ana
without prejudice the result OF MS
experience in the government of the State,
reasoned dowE to the intellectual level OF the
members. He spoke in fair terms OF the
new constitution, and pointed out that It's
success or failure would depend entirely
upon whether the governments organized under
it we're composed of good or bad men. He said
"whether the government organized under
this constitution will be a good or bad one is
to be determined by the qualifications OF the
men elected to carry ii on. In this view OF
the case you should have left open the widest
field from which to choose these men, and
have no doubt that both parties will exert their
utmost strength and put forth their best and
ablest men to inaugurate the new government.
But he reasons that the convention has not lett
open this field, and the clauses in regard 10
qualifications for Office are 80 stringent so
much more sweeping than those of the Con-
gressional reconstruction laws themselves, that
they rule out all men it for Office. His words
we're positive. 81 refer to that portion
which prescribes the qualifications for Office,
and which, I believe, will be, if allowed
to remain in its present form, detrimental
in its effect upon the adoption of the constitu-
ton. 1t is practically impossible to carry on
government in Virginia predicated upon that
basis" Government is absolutely impossible
upon the only conditions upon which radicalism
will have it. Such is the opinion of man of
excellent judgment, not swayed by improper
sympathy with the purpose of any party.
General Schofeld's advice was, of course,
lost upon his radical and niger auditors, and
the party for which it might be warning will
only remember it as an offence. Nowhere is
the demand of the nigger for extravagant con-
cessions so boisterous, so impudent so beyond
all the decencies of life, as in Virginia; and
nowhere is white radicalism more humbly sub
missive. At the requirement of the nigger
voter, therefore, the radicals agree to legislate
the white man under the foot of the slave.
But even the concessions to the nigger vote
must have limit. Radicalism will have to
modify its niger programme, or presently
to choose between the loss Of the
whole of it's power in the North and
the loss of the nigger. 1t will then
have to rein in the madness of Cuffee; but
he will by that time have gotten beyond all
restraints. He will demand more than the
maddest partisan will dare to even promise,
and, his demand being refused, he will revenge
himself by casting his vote on the other side
and acting in concert with the people Of his
State against radical rule. Such is the inevi-
table future, and the conservative element has
only to keep cool and bide its time.

PROGRESS IN ALAsKA.-Our new Territory
of Alaska seems to have caught the spirit
of American progress Immediately after we
have taken possession. A few months ago
and while it belonged to Russia 1t was re-
garded as almost terra incognita, country
somewhere bordering the North Pole. That
portion of our press which has opposed the
purchase has, even up to this time, repre-
sented Alaska as hyperborean region Of no
value. But we hear every day or two OF
some progress or new Developments there.

fisheries are to be put under way, and that an
opposition line of steamships for passengers
and freight between that country, California
and Vancouver's Island is to be started. An
