SEPTEMBER SEssIoN.-The radical Con,
gressional Committee issued an order for
Congress to assemble at the Capitol on Mon
day last. The object of the special session
is to devise means to compel the Southern
States to vote for Grant. If left to them
selves it is quite certain that the whole of
these States would vote a unit for Seymour.
To prevent this Congress has been called to-
gether, and no doubt means will be found to
muzzle the people. The question now is,
how long will the people submit to be thus
ruled by a radical minority?

How To CARRY THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECrIoN.-The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
The game of the radicals, as evnced BY the
Edmunds bill, which has been passed by
Congress, is to count such Southern States
as vote for Grant-vote for him by MAJORS
ties made up of negroes and dictated by bays
onets, and refuse to count such Southern
States as vote for Seymour by the free choice
of their people. They are idiOtic enough to
suppose, or rather have so little respect for
the people as to imagine that this completely
one-sided arrangement will be allowed to
succeed. They will be informed in due time
that this proposed proposition can't win.

The Ancient Bachelor.
BIZ PROF. o. HOWE GREENE.

CANTER I.
There was an ancient bachelor,
Cornelius by name,
Who'd lived more than forty years,
UDsinged by loves flame.
Close by a lofty mountains side,
Whose name is queerlv spelt:
Beside a bubbling fountains depth,
In peace and grease he dwelt.
Within his little cabin-home
He safely laid his head
No fear of girls or Ind ane' (whoops)
No whites With mar red"
Though massive hemlocks hemmed him in,
And sigh-ed lii the wind;
Though in the piney woods he dwet.
He pined not, nor repinei.
Ne scoldng wife disturbed his peace,
No collie infantile
Walked him to seek on Winters night,
For peppermint or lie"
No little boy to pull his beard,
No girl to tweak his nose;
No lads or lasses on his hands,
Nor 'laSSes on his clothes.
He had horse, two cows, pig,
And chickens fat and nice
With turkeys, ducks and guinea fowls,
Tive cats, and nary mice.
And when at morn he butter made
For city bellies TO eat,
The chickens clustered on the churn
And had q jolly treat.
His butter was so strenthening!
He made such nifty cheese!
He raised such splendid garden sass -
Such hefty swarms of bees!
When lonely, he would fiddle some,
Or sing, or walnuts crack
But oft he felt some fiddle string
Or heart sting he did lack.
cAsrER II.
One rainy day Cornelius
Said will play the bow
Upon my fiddle, for l feel
So lonely sad and-"lo!
Behold, lady in the rain,
Is coming to the door,
Upon the door she gently raped,
Raped once and nothing more"
But unto poor Cornelius
1t sounded like knel.
He trembled as he ope'd the door
Betwixt him an a-bellei
"Kind sir, a shelter here I crave,
My Buggy's broken down;
The boy who drove it for repairs
Repairs to yonder town"
Thrice welcome" saith Cornelius,
You've taken me by storm;
The rain, dear, calls the rain-beau forth,
Here reign, dear safe and warm J"
The lady wore benign smile,
And seven-by mine hat,
That in quiyer put her beau,
As by the fire they sat.
I'd love TO live with thee alone:
1t must be--oh so nice
| mean. She made feint to swoon,
Sweet Sal Amander Price.
:" wish had Sal volatle,"
Cornelius did say.
Had what' All, me :" saith S. A. p.
And swoon-ed clean away
LAST CASTER--HoNE STRETCH.
One day the Village Belle was rung,
With golden ring, so nice F!
For which the Ancient Bachelor
Was soiti and brought his Price
Home to dwell, etc, etc.

A BAD STATE OF SOCIETY.
late George Kendall, the founder of
the New Orleans Picayune, was an
exceedingly agreeable companion.
He used to relate his adventures on
the Santa Fe expedition with much
glee, and in. the most interesting
manner. One of them was as follows ::
"After the capture the party by
gang of Mexican Marauders, the
prisoners were chained in couples
and driven inland, guarded by a body
Of armed men. Word was passed
among the prisoners that they were
all to be shot Immediately. Can
this be possible, Misther Kindall p
said the big Irishman to whom our
friend was made fast. Quite likely
was the quiet response. But, Mis-
ther Kindall , rejoined Pat, isn't
this a very extraordinary state Of
society 2

BURNING STRAW AT THE WEST.-This
practice, which prevails so generally
i'll the new settlements, is exceedingly
wasteful. No sight is more common
than immense piles of straw left to rot
in the fields, or given to the torch, as
the quickest method of riddance. The
ashes, indeed, are restored to the earth,
but not to the soil. The few square
rods on which they lie are scarcely
benefited. All the organic part of the
plant is dissipated and lost by the burn
ing. 1t will be said, in justification of
the practice, that there is no market for
the straw, and it is an incumbrance
upon the soil, and perhaps, also, that
the land is rich enough withoutit. Ev-
cry farm should have a good home
market for straw. Great use is made Of
portion of it for fodder by our best
farmers, and the manure from the eX-
ira stock thus kept is returned to the
soil. 1t is largely used for bedding.
and the cattle yards are kept thickly
covered with it. 1t would pay better
to spread itupou the soil where it grows
and plow it in, than to burn it. 1t helps
make a cheap and warm hovel for cat
tie, before the settler has time to build
his barn. Save the straw, for even the
virgin soil will need it to keep up it's
ertility.-American Agricuhurist.-

Autumn Work.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman, in an article on Autumn,makes
the following observations on having
work planned and done SO as to save
time in the spring:
Every farmer with any pretensions
,, to intelligence must have system of
working and cropping his land clearly
degned in his own mind; therefore, he
knows where his manure will be requif-
ed, and is aware of the great set-for-
ward it would be to have a good deal
of the land plowed and ready for being
seeded Immediately after the frost
breaks up, and on any requiring to be
stimulated, how nice to have the ma
nure hauled to it when the ground is
sound, instead of having to do it throuhh
mud and along road which is so bad
that not more than half loads can be
taken. All such work as this being
done ready for spring, makes every
thing come easy, and does away with
the hurrying every operation IN such
way as to be imperfectly performed and
instead,t the whole of the seeding can be
got through within SO early stage of
the season, that some roots can be grown
and the grass cut when it is young
enough to make the best quality of
hay.
"If farmers would make use Of the
beautiful autumn weather, doing ev-
erything possible to be done at that
season, it would most assuredly give
such advantages as would result in their
making, at the very lowest computa-
tion, one-thlrd more from their farms
for nine years out of ten. The early
sown crops are most productive and of
the best quality, and when farmer be-
gins to get ahead of his work, he will
be commencing to be ahead in every
way, and may be considered as & made
man."

MAN-EATING TIGER-The rava-
ges of man-eating Tigers in Sumbul-

of Central India are SO serious, that
elephants have been placed at the
disposal of the district officers to
enable them to destroy them. Or
dinary tigers do harm only to cat
tie, and the sanctioned reward of
30rs is sufficient to excite native
hunters to pursue them. One such
brute kills its scores of human be-

LINE FOR WHEAT.-We wish the read
ers of the American Agriculturist
would try the effect of lime on the
wheat crop. A few square rods would
be enough for the experiment. Put 4
bushel Of fire sh slaked lime to a square
rod and note the effect. There has been
very general complaint the past har-
vest of shrunken wheat. 1t is attribut-
ed to the hot weather in July; but the
fact that many instances where the land
was in good condition the wheat was
plump and fine, proves that it is not
wholly due to the climate, or at least
that the difficulties may be overcome.
It is well known that lining the soil
has a beneficial effect. especially in
stiffening the straw and producing a
full plump berry. We believe the time
has come when much of our wheat land,
even in the limestone regions. would
be greatly benefited by liming.-Amer-
ican Agricuhurist.
