RADICAL RAscALITY.-A Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times says:
"The Messrs. Pike, of Cincinnati,-one
Of the largest spirit firms in the United
States-are very heavy exporters. At
this time they have in the port of Smyrna,
in Turkey, alone, some thirteen thousand
barrels of spirits on hand. The bill just
passed raises the value of their spirits, as
/ am informed by New York and Boston
spirit importers, at least thirty per cent.
The news of the passage of the bill was of
course Immediately telegraphed through
the Atlantic cable. Now, l may as well
inform importers that a supplementary
bill, allowing exporters to ship from bond,
will not be reported until the firm of Pike
Brothers sell their spirits 10Y held in
Smyrna. Some supplemented, honest
person will ask: why so2' I reply:
Because one of the Messrs. Pike is the
brother-in-law of the Hon. R. G. Schenck
(they married ~sisters), and Hon. r. G.
Schenck is chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means of the House,"

DREADFUL DEATH-A MAN FALLS FROM
A SrEEPLE.-Yesterday, Patrick Russell
met a sudden and awful death. he
had been employed to re-paint the spire Of
the First Presbyterian church, and had
rugged up the necessary %seat-ladders and
pulleys. He assembled the steeple from the
stairway inside until he got to the last and
highest window in the church-a distance
from the ground Of about $50 feet. Here
his outside operations had to begin and
while getting out of the window to the
rope to which his seat was attached he
lost his hold, and was pre%cipitated to the
ground. He struck the successive pro-
iections of the steeple in his fall to the
roof of the main edi6ce; down which ne
rolled to the caves, and fell into the lane
south of the church, striking the iron rail
ing in his descent. Of course, when ne
was picked up he was fearfully mangled
and dead. The deceased was a native of
Harlem, NY. He left no family.-Sauan-
nah Herald, 8th instant.

How THE RADICALS TRIED TO CARRY
ALABAMA.-The steamer Annie yesterday
carried over to Blakely a large number of
negroes who had been voted almost to
death in the city. 1t is almost useless to
say that they will be trotted from precinct
to precinct in Baldwin county to-day,
each armed with an abundant supply OF
certificates that they have registered in
this city, and did not vote. Captain Bald
win, of the Annie, refused to take the ne
groes over but was forced to do so by the
military authorities, who seem particularly
anxious that the negroes get their rights ;
which, being interpreted, means that every
facility must be shown them in voting
"early and often."-Mobile Register, 9Th.

AYRSHIRE Cows cannot better
describe this breed than to use the
language of Mr.. Alton, in his treatise
on dairy COWS The head is small, rath
er long and narrow at the muzzle; the
eye small, bus lively; the horns small,
clear. crooked, and their roots at
considerable distance from each other;
neck long aud slender, tapering toward
the head, with no loose skin below
shoulders thin, fOre-quarters light,
headquarters large, back straight and
broad. carcass deep and wide over the
hips, with sound, deshy buttocks;
tail long and small, uddsr capaciOus,
broad and square, stretching forward
and neither heshy, low hung, nor loose,
the milk veins large and prominent,
teats short, all pointing outward, and
at considerable distance from each
other, skin loose, with hair soft.
Youatt, in speaking of the Ayrshire
COW. says:
'The quantity Of milk yielded by the
AYRSHIRE COW is, considering her size,
very great. Five gallons daily for two
or three months after ealving may be
considered as not more than an aver
age quantity three gallons daily will
be given for the next three months,
and one gallon and a half during the
succeeding four months This would
amount to eight hundred and fifty
gallons for the entire season.
The above account, no doubt IS that
of extra animals, but the same author
thinks six hundred gallons an esti-
mate not too high as an average for
this breed of COWS. In regard to their
butter making qualities he tells us
that three and a half gallons Of this
milk will yield about pound and
half of butter. Hhis give US a yield
of two hundred snd fifty seven pounds
Of butter per annUm.
As to their fatteuing qualities they
are spoken of highly. Their flesh Is
said to be of very superior quality
certainly their appearance goes to show
that they would take on flesh readily.
As the attention of many parts Of
the West is now turning toward dairy
ing, would il not be we'll to procure
male animals of the pure Ayrshire
stock to cross on our native stOekE Ny
opinion is that the progeny OF such
cross would prove Of great value both
for dairying and fattening purposes,
and the intoduction of such animals
amongst US a public benefit Cor. Of

DRAINAGE OF FARM LANDS.-At
meeting of the Massachusetts State
Board of Agriculture at Concord in
December, the proceedings of which
are reported in the New England
Farmer, there was a discussion on
draining lands Judge French, who
has published a work on this subject,
said there was hardly time for a dis
cussion Of the general subject, but
he would answer specific questions.
In the course Of his replies to various
members, he remarked that he did
mot believe that all lands needed
draining. 1t was not necessary where
stagnant water stood more than four
feet from the surface. Where water
stood within two and half feet of the
surface, drainage was beneficial. 1t
heightened the season for cultivation
In low grounds, the earth drying car
lier in the spring, and remaining dry
later in the fell. Besides tie mere
mechanical effect of compactIng the
soil, it gave warmth, for soil filed
with water could not be heated down
ward. Experiments had shown that
ice would remain unmelted IN the bot
tom of a vessel filed with water boil
ing by the application of heat to It's
upper surface. Under drained soils
were heated By the warm rains sink
ing into them. Land that would need
draining for corn and melons, might
not need it for grass. He would not
build drains Of stones, even If a supply
were found on the farm, if he could get
tiles at SIS to $50 per thousand; for ex-
cavations for stone drains would require
greater labor and they were liable to
fill with mud OF silt in soft lands, He
would lay drains at least four feet deep
in order to secure their full benefit in
heavy rains, and TO place them beyond
the reach of subsoil plows, moles and
roots. In order to prevent Obstruct-
ions, drains should have a continuous
fall which could be secured by
stretching a line and measuring the
depth Of each tile from it. Earth and
sand would be liable to get in if spaces
of more thaua a quarter Of an inch we're
left ia the joints of the tiles. Ground
tan, bark OF shavings we're suitable
for covering the joints, and there was
no danger OF uniting them too closely,
for the water would find its way read
lily through the pores of the tiles.
Mr.. Brown ofConcord spoke of the
surprising effect Of draining, an Oper-
alton which seemed to work by con
ries-making cold land warmer, wet
land drier, dry land more moist, hard
hard land lighter, and light land
sometimes more compact. Mr. Brown
gave a lucid and interesting ezplana-
tiOn of the manner in which these re-
suits were effected, The cultivation
of drained land could be carried on
at half the cost of cultivating wet land.
Drainage helped nature to make the
land fertile. .e
