Traps for Grant.

All the Radical cliques, and there arc a good many Radical cliques now, are trying to get possession of Grant. Nobody pretends to suspect him of having any will of his own, and, as he has said himself that he shall have no policy of his own, each particular clique has hope of success. In the days of Gil Bias it was good to be related to Bishop. Once, in the days of the Little Giant, Douglas and Beverley Tucker were going home about day break. The Illinois Senator put his arm around the Virginian's neck and said, enthusiastically, "Bev., I love you ;" to which Tucker replied; "Well, Douglas, when you get to be President, all I ask of you is to put your arm around my neck and call me Bcy.' In our day the advantage is multiplied by all the stealage that has been and all the stealage that is to be. It is fine thing to run witha Presidential "ring," and we do not wonder at all that Grant is the object of such greedy desire. Old Jesse ought to be able to make a good thing out of it. The "General's staff should be happy. There will be any quantities of cigars and numbers of fine horses passed between this and the 4th of March we doubt not. Tho effort of the "General's friends" should be to keep him hid ont in the bushes about Galena as long as possible. This will whet the ayarice of stock jobbers and wire pullers and make them free and pleasant and liberal.-Courier-Jour- nal.

seD-A A little girl of Kentucky, at a boarding school, responded as follows to a note from her father, announcing sn interesting event in the family
 MY DEAR PAPA-I was right glad to hear from you and that you were well; but did not like it bit to hear that mother had a baby, because it was boy. I should be glad if it were 2 girl for l hate boys, they ain't nice. Now am going to tell you what want you to name him. am going to choose a homely name, because don't think boys ought to havspretty names. Boys are squealing all the time; you don't have one minutes peace while there is boy baby in the house but 8 girl baby is sweet thing to have in the house, for it never cries. Name him Tuba Dam, that's good enough for boy. You must excuse me for writ ing so much about boys; it's because I don't like boys. My love to ma, and tell her hope she will do better next time"

Dr. Stark, the Registrar General of Scotland, infers, from these figures, that "bacherlorhood is more destrnct. i've to life than the most unwholesome trades, or than residence in an unwhole- some house or district, where there never has been the most distant att temptat sanitary improvement of any kind" We do not question the opin- ion that matrimony may in . thousand ways exercise healthful influence on the human race, by ennobing its habits and enforcing sobriety, etc, but we think Dr. Stark exceeds the legitimate conclusion consequent on the premises. It must be remembered that married men are generally of more robust and healthy constitution than bachelors, who frequently are deterred by i'll health from undertaking the support of families. This important element in the calculation has been forgotten by Dr. Stark and reasoners of his class.

\ Tota, EclIpse In 1869.

Professor White writes to a New York paper of total'eclipse of the sun which is to occur in August, 1869, as follows:
 The sun will rise eclipscd in the interior of Siberia, on the morning ot August T, 1869, whence the shadow will move in northeasterly direction then turning eastwsrdly and south westwardly, will pass over the Behr- ing's Straits and North Alaska about noon, local timc.-Thence, moving across part of British North America, it will re-enter the United States in Montana, between two and three D. m., local time. Moving thence across Western Nebraska, it willpass disgon- ally through Iowa, passing over City, Des MOines and Keokuk about five o'clock. Thence it will pass still south east, over Jacksonville, Illinois, across Southern Indiana, Central Kentuck v, East Tennessee, into and across North Carolina, and will touch the sea coast in Pamlico Sound; and it will finally leave the earth not far from the Bermu. das. It will be visible in all parts oi the United States and total over belt of one hundred miles wide along the line just indicated, the sun being hid more than four minutes.

4 Tough Story.

There is place in Maine so rocky that when the natives plant corn they look for crevices in the rocks, and shoot the grain in with mus ket.-They can't raise ducks there no how, for the stones are so thick that the ducks cant get their bills between them to pick out the grsss-hoppers, and the only way tke sheep can get at the spring. of grass is by grinding their noses on grindstone. But this ain't a to place in Maryland. There the land is so poor that it takes two kildeers to cry "kildeer," and on 8 clear day you can see the grasshop- pers climb up mullen stock and look with tears over a fifty acre field; and the bumblebees have to go down on their knees to get at the grass; all the mosquitoes died of starvation. and the turkey buzzards were obliged to emil grate. But there is & county in Vir- ginia which can beat that. There the land is so sterile that when the wind is northwest they have to tie the chil- dren to keep them from blowing away there it takes six frogs to raise one croak, and when the dogs bark they have to lesn against the fences-the horses are so thin that it takes twelve of them to make q shadow, and when they kill beef they have hold him up to knock him down!

A Living Headless Child.

The Deposit (N. Y.) Courier is responsible for the following mar vellous story:
 "In the vicinity of Spoon river, in Illinois, is child that was born and has lived i've years without head. Mrs.-, the mother, is the widow of soldier, formerly living in Marshall county, who enlisted in the sixty-fifth or Scotch regiment, and was killed at the battle of Lexington, Missouri. She was standing beside her husband du- ring the engagement, when cannon ball carried his head completely away, his body falling into her arms, and covering her with blood. The shock affected her greatly. When her child was born there was not the semblance of head about it. The limbs are per- fcctly developed, the srma long, and the shoulders where the head and neck should be, smoothly rounded of.
 But the most surprising thing of all is that tho face is situated in the breast Of course, there being no neck, the power of turning it's head Is wanting, except as the whole body is moved i; but this difficulty is overcome by the singular faculty it possesses of turning its eyes in their sockets, enabling it to see quite as we'll on either side as those more perfectly formed. The, upper portion of it's body is white as the purest Caucasian ;from the waist down. ward is blood red. This strange crea- ture, now an active boy of five years old, as ii to compensate for his defor- mity, possesses the most clear and bird like tones eyer listened to, singing with singular correctness everything it may hear, and it's voice at this early age accomplishes two octaves easly.'

Tea as a Mental stimulnnf.

The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal is usually rather dry reading, except to the profession; but it very often has great deal of useful inform alton hidden under technical phrsseol- ogy. Thus the last number contains an interesting communication upon the action of Thein on the human sys- 1 tenn. Thein is an integral part of tea, and gives to that part its peculiar force as 2 stimulant. IL is also found in coffee. and ill certain South American plants whose leaves are used to prepare table beverage.
 The author of the article in question made several experiments of Thein up- on human cases. It was found that in every instance the pulse was lowered, a nervous tremulousness followed, and special mental activity was noticeable. One gentleman, under the influence of this alkslord, spoke emphatically of his "increased brsin-power, enabling him to read certain books, which he had before accounted e abstruse, with the greatest ease and an extraordinary power of grasping the subject without any effort, as he read rapidly on." The testimony of ''onc of tho most power- fu writers among our New England women," is also sdduced. Her testi- mony was to the effect that, some hours after taking large quantity of tea, she felt ss if there was nothing left but her head, which furnished rapidly language or ideas of the best quality. and in goodly quantity, all night long"
 In it's medicinal form Thein is em- ployed as a sedatiye. This, by the way, appears something like strong allo- pathic indorsement of Hahncman's the- ory. It cures neuralgia headaches, where pills are objected to. Thein ointment for the hair is found to have like effect. Pastilcs made with Thein, when burnt in room, are said to pro- duce an equally soothing effect to irri- table nerves.

Stock Fowls.

Autumn is the time for selecting a stock for keeping over, as well as choice breeding fowls of whatever variety we intend to try the next season. A cor respondent of the Ohio Farmer says all old and needless fowls should be cleared out, to give the choicer flock . better chance. It will prove failure if too many are kept; better err on the other extreme. A small number sl- ways pays handsomely. Forty to sixty of good kind in one lot, will shorten the face and lengthen the pocket of the owner, if he does his part. Feed and lit them well in the fall, and prepare quarters for winter laying, for it is good policy and much more satisfac- tory to have hens lay bountifully when eggs bring the highest prices, returning their cost many fold, than to be .. bill of expense, returning nothing in the common method among majority of farmers.
Des Arc weekly citizen., 1868-12-01
Feeding Whole Grain to Cattle.

It is an expensive system to manage ment to feed whole grain to any kind of animals. All kinds of cereal grains are provided with tough hull or skin, which the digestive powers of most animals will not dissolve consequently, if the skin is not broken before the grain enters the stomach the kernels will usually pass off with the drop pings without affording the animal that swallowed the grain any more nourishment than fragments of wood of equal size.
 During the month of August last, the writer procured quantity of horse manure for top dressing strawberry plants, and in a few days after the mulch was spread around the plants the unbrokcn kernels of oats vegitsted, so that the entire surface ot the ground appeared as green as lawn. This fact , showed conclusively, that much of the grain had never afforded the animals thst swallowed it any nourishment at all.
 Young horses having sound and sharp teeth will sometimes crush every kernel. But old horses with poor teeth frequently swallow half their mess of oats without breaking the skin of the kernels.
 When mills arc at distance, and people will persist in feeding whole grain, it will always be found more advantageous to soak the grain at least twenty-four hours before using it. | Suppose, for example, a teamster is accustomed to feed team eight quarts of Indian corn and oats at each feeding, say three times day. Let the grain be put in & pail and covered with warm water every time the team is fed. This plan would require three pails when Q team is fed three times daily. Warm water is far better than cold water, as cold water, in cold weather, will soften the grain but little. Teamsters may rest assured that it will pay well for all trouble to soak all grain before feeding l it.-N. Y. Times.

ORIGINAL FooLs~CAP.-Every school boy knows what foolscap paper is, but we doubt whether one in hundred that daily use it, can tell why it was so called.
 When Oliver Cromwell become Pro- tector, after the execution of Charles l. he caused the stamp of the cap of liber- ty to be placed upon the paper used by the Government. Soon after the res toration of Charles II, he had occasion to use some paper for dispatches, and some of the Government paper wal brought to him. On looking at it and discovering this stamp, he inquired the meaning of it, and on being told, he said, "Take>it away; I'll have nothing to do with fools cap"
 Thus originated the term "fools-cap,' which has been applied to size of writing paper usually about sixteen by thirteen inches.
