COMNExDABLE.

We are glad to see that the members
OF the Legislature have resolved to ap.
propriste no money for the purchase Of
stationery, postage stamps or newspapers
during the present session. This is a
oommendable course, and is perfectly
consistent with the principles Of the Re-
publican party, which require economy
in the expenditure Of the peoples mon
eJ, and retrenchment in every direction.
When would such an attempt as this
have ever succeeded in a body where
the Democracy were in the majority {?
Let tho Legislature continue its good
work, hurry up its business, and adjourn
with thirty days. session.

STANTON REINsTATED.

On Tuesday the Senate, by vote Of
IS to 6, refused to sustain the Presi-
dent in his reasons for removing Secre-
tary Stanton from the War Office.
This reinstated him in the Office from
which he was so spitefully removed by
the President, and he is already per-
forming its duties, Gen. Grant having
yielded his portfolio as Secretary aa-
interim without consulting Andrew.
1t is said that Mr.. Stanton will resign
shortly, but this is strongly protested
against by Republican Senators and
Congressman.

SETTLEMENT OF THE RAILROAD
BONDS,

The duty will devolve upon the pres.
ent Legislature Of devising some plan,
Q be submitted to tho people, for the
final adjustment OF the vexed Rail,.;,..a
Bond question. While tho scheme
proposed Inst fall was ovs.snhelmiuplv
voted down, yet there Is a general feel.
ing TINT some equitable settlement
should DO made with the holders Of the
bonds. This scheme, which met With
80 deserved defeat, would have iuvolv.
cd the payment Of tn, entire face Of
the bonds, with the accrued interest,
swallowing up the Five Hundred Thou
sand acres Of land, and leaving beside
burden Of taxation for years. Any,
thing Of that kind is not to DO thought
Of aud We scarcely believe any of our
State legislators feel very anxious to
introduce bill Of asimilar nature.
The Five Hundred Thousand acres
Of land donated by the government to
the State for purposes of internal i'm
provement We have. They are some-
thing that came unexpeotedly-as q
windtall. Let them be devoted to the
hnal adjustment, doing away with, e.
tinguishment, and eternal wiping out Of
the old Railroad bonds. The considera-
ton received by the State was next to
nothing, but this debt will hang upon
Us like q nightmare until it is met by
some adjustment and the bonds con.
sumed in ashes. No better method of
settlement has yet presented itself or
been suggested than this half a million
acres Of land.
The suggestion made by some of our
exchanges that this land be apportion.
ed among the different counties to be
used in repairing roads, building brids.
es, and so forth, is very good in itself
and would deserve immediate consider.
alton were it not for this old debt, which
must be met. To convert the grant in-
to a bridge fund would b. to nccessi-
tate taxation for the payment Of what
ever may be determined upon as being
due to the bondholdcrs, and nothing
could be more obnoxious to the people
Of the State. Under the present cir
cumstances such proposition as that
just spoken Of woald be unwise and IN.
just
Let the Legislature present some
plan BY which the halt a million acres
Of land shall remove this bond ipcu-
bus. If the entire amount shull be re.
quired to provide for the payment Of
the per cent. agreed upon, let all be
used, and the people will ratify the
measure. They are willing to give this
much in order to avoid even the breath
Of reputation, but they are not willing
to submit to any such stupendous swim.
die rs that proposed last year. If the
bondholders are not disposed to accept
thistender, they can hold on to their
claims. Time will improve the lands
quite as much as it will raise the bonds
in the estimation of the people, and the
latter can wait just as contentcdly as
can the capitalists. We incline, how
ever, to the opinion that there would
be little hesitancy, and that the whole
question could be satisfactorily arranged.
AT all events the lands should be held
tor and devoted to the taking up of
these bonds.

eters.
The sensibility of many animals and
plants to the varying condition of the
atmosphere is SO great that a careful
stndy of their movements will often
indicate with certainty approaching
changes in the weather. When storm
is pending the spider shortens the thread
of his web, aud lengthens them again
when the storm is about to pass off;
careful observers even pretend to fore
tell how long fine weather will last
from the degree to which the web is
extended. If the spider is quiet it
is a sign of rain, but when he goes to
work during a shower be sure it will
soon clear of. The swallow is also
an infsllibIe barometer, flying low
almost touching the earth, and utteripe
a low, plaintive cry before rain, but
sailing back and forth high in the air
during settled weather; when violent
tempest is about to break out be scars
even to the clouds, and adopts a slow,
majestic motion, very different from
his ordinary one. In pleasant weather
the crow viii at any time leave her nest
in search Of food; but if she feels a
storm approaching nothing win tempt
her off till her mate takes her place to
protect her young. The peacock fore
tells rain by its frequent cries; the
woOd-pecker by its cooings; the paro-
quet by its chattering, and the guinea
fowl by its going to roost The goose
manifests great uneasiness, plunging
into the water and rapidly returning to
theiaud. The sea gulls seek the shores,
and are only seen far inland IN settled
weather The petrel, on the contrary,
dasbes out boldly into the midst of
storm and tempest. The cbirP Of the
cricket IS sign Of fair weather, but
the CRY Of the tree-toad indicates rain.
When the air is overeharged with
moisture the oder of flowers is strong
and penetrating, and in dry weather IS
soft and agreeable.

TWenty.Three Eggss-A story
for Bows that Fib.

10r Boys tnaI F1D.
at eight years old 1 was as wide
awake, and saw as many things between
daybreak and nine O'Clock at night as
any boy in the country, and was withal
fond of telling quite as much as | saw,
and now and then good deal more.
My mother sometimes suspected me
of great powers Of exageration, but as,
on looking into my statements, she
could not detect me in directlie, | was
little likely to receive the correction
which l was often conscious of deserv-
ing. This came to me in an unexpec
manner, and the way | was helped out
of the worst and last falsehood ] ever
told has always been mystery to me.
l was lettering in the kitchen one
morning where my mother was at work
making tarts, when-tarts suggesting
cake, and cake eggs-she turned to me
and said: r. C
81 don'tse as your new-fangled chick
ems turn out any better than the old
ones. We don't seem to have any more
eggs"
Here my mother touched tender
spot. l had bought the chickens with
my own money, and on the positive as
surance that they were magnificent
layers.
"Yes, they do," l said-not waiting
to think what my hasty vindication
might cost me-'yes, they do; they lay
splendidly. 1 found a nest with ever
so many eggs in it this morning"
"Then why didn't you bring them

it; but there's hole there, under the
cows rack, and counted twenty-three
eggs"
That was a sumner, but my mother
did not drop her rolliDg-pin, nor give
any sign that she discredited my asser-
ton. She only said quietly, "take IA
basket, Bridget, and go with Harry to
the barn"
l took the basket and marched out,
half rod ahead of Bridget straight to
the cows lack. Ibid not expect to find
anything, but l must go ahead till I
had to stop; that was always my way.
So l went to the rack, when, sure
enough, there was the hole; and, thrust
ing in my arm, felt-an egg. l put
it in the basket and tried again-anoth-
er, and another, till twenty-three eggs
had been taken from the wonderful
hole. Just twenty,three, and no more

vested.
A great diversity of opinion exists
as to the best time to cut wheat Inc
degree Of riPeness at which it should
be harvested.
Experiments made in England upon
the same wheat lst when the straw
was green; %, when the straw was
changing color; Sd, when fully ripe;
gave the following result: I94 bushels
per acre; 2s3 bushels per acre; 228
bushels per acre. These experiments
show that the time Of the second cut
ting is that which gives the largest
yield, with the least loss TO the farmer.
The wheat thus Invested viii also
yield 9 larger quantity Of 6ue flour
and less bran than that cut earlier or
later, and proves that the gluten is CON
verted into starch if the wheat stands
until fully ripe.
The best time to cut wheat is when
the straw is changing color at each end
of the stalk the sap having then ceased
to flow. And the advantage obtained
by cutting thus early, is that it prevents
the shelling, which cannot be avoided
if cut when fully ripe. Often during
the process of cutting, as much as two
and even four bushels are lost to an
acre, because the wheat is dead ripe.
This is no trifing loss, and might be
made 70 pay al the expense of harvest
ing.
The indications Of npeness in wheat
are few and simple. When the straw
exhibits q bright yellow color halfway
or two thirds of the way up the stem,
and the ear begins to bend gently, the
grain may be safely cut But as
whole field does not always ripen evenly
OF 81 the same ume, II one goes through
the field and selects the greenest heads,
and the grains seperate from the chat
by rubbing them through the palm Of
the hand, they are then out of the
milky state and may be reaped with
safety.
Wheat is most valuable to millers
when it is cut partially green, for then
the grain has the most flour and least
bran! For seed, it should never be cut
until fully ripe. The use of seed wheat
that is cut before it is fully ripe is one
great cause Of smut in wheat Smutty
wheat itself is much improved, if not
cat until fully ripe; and the use of
brine and lime will kill smut to a great
extent.
