The Democrats and General Grant.

Tho New York Hemld speaks Of anoth-
er Democratic flank movement being pro-
posed. It is to have The States which
went for Seymour cast their votes for
Grant and thus seizure him q unanimous
vote of all the States. It is thought nv
this means he win DO relieved of any obi
cation to party and can preside in,partially
over the whole country without being
bound by any partisan, policy. The Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
Herald has the following ON this subject:
Acting upon this idea, the Democratic
politicians have prepared q number oil let

Housing Cabbag,e,ss.

| Some time sinceI had conversation
with,a neighbor,a as, 4 to the best and most
economical method of putting up yegeta-
b1es,, such us cabbages, potatoes, &c. The
following plan was suggested for cabbage
house as one worthy Of having its, merits
tested by experiment: 100 ~ ~
Prepare straight slender poles fpine or
other), two or three inches in diameter of
proper length, say eight feet; clean off
your ground, md confluence as though you
were going to build plain rail pen. three
cornered, using two poles instead of one,
so as to, make each side or wall double,
with a space Of eight inches between the
poles. AT one corner an opening is left
two and half feet wide, for door or en-
trance. 10 close aud make secure, cheap
batten door may be made, and hinged to
posts or jaInbs fastened to the wall OF
poles, after the fence is completed. The
first tier or floor of poles having been or.
ranged, put on row of cabbages, the
roots occupying the space between the
poles, and the heads turned in and pressed
compactly together. Cover the roots with
friable, soil, and place on another tier of
poles and cabbages, and continue filling up
space each time with soil, until you have
gained the requisite hight. A few poles
thrown across the'top, and heavy cover
ing of pine tops, cornstalks, or any litter
that will furnish o secure covering, is all
that is necessary to complete the house.
Cornstalks or some other protection should
be placed against the outside for fear Of Sc
we're freezes, &c. = g 40 49, ,;, ~
A trench should be dug around the out
side. and the dirt thrown apainst the corn
stalks They will serve to render the floor
or inside dry .ssyia s...E.;sfst.l fntsiq /
+. The cabbages thus housed will be very
convenient Of access in mid-winter, aud will
continue as fresh as ifburied under ground.
All that is necessary is a,knife, with which
you sever as many heads as you want at a
time, leaving the stalkto give youa sup
ply of early coleworts in spring. /. sa7s@ /

Putting tho animals ON short commons. as

IA fortnight or three weeks before caiving,
will greatly lesssn the numbers qt cases.-
The reduction must be made alike in the
quantity and quality Of the food. Dry
straw or poor hay is better than rich clover
or succulent tares. "A dose, of physic re-
'peated weekly for three weeks before caiv-
ing is also useful precaationi and in all
such cases q full dose should further be
given Immediately after ,calving, unless, in.
deed, the animal will drink Of its own nc
cord q bucketful of topid water, In which
handful of salt has been dissolved. Ad-
herence TO q sloppy laxative diet for three
days after calving will likewise be essential.
The bag should DO drawn onco or twice
daily for least fortnight before calving;
and for week after the arrival OF the calf
great relief will be given by milking four
or five times daily. Full halfthe casos at

Thomas, on Wednesday evening, loaded a
shotgun with o charge Of small birdshot
and placed it in his store in such d posi-
ton as to cover the entrance of his door.
AsHtring was attached to- the trigger, and
then to the door, so that as soon as the
door opened the gum would be fired and
the charge would catch the trespasser in
the stomach and legs. Mr.. Thomas await
