A Wonderful Liar.

An Englishman travelling on the
Mississippi, told some rather tough
stories abotlt some London thieves.
A Cincinnati chap named Case
heard these narratives with o silent
but expressive umph, and then re-
marked that he thought the Wes-
tern thieves beat the London oper-
ators all hollow.
"How so 2" inquired the English
man, with surprise. " Pray, sir,
have you lived much in the West2"
"Not D great deal undertook
to set up business at Des Moines
Rapids q while ago, but the ras-
cally people stole nearly everything
/ had, and finally a Welsh miner
ran of with my wife"

man, and have you never found

2. When the corn becomes o
little hard, pulI all the remaining
blades as high as within convenient
reach, without bending down the
stalk, being sure in all cases, to
leave at least three top blades.
These are sufficient to mature the
grain.
3. When the corr becomes per-
feGtly hard and matured, cut the
tops, h needed.
When pulling, and in order to
obtain good quality of fodder
observe.
1. In clear weather, pull In the
morning and spread or the ground /;
and in the afternoon, tie up that
which was pulled in the morning,
and hang the bundles on the
stalks. On each afternoon, also,
house that which was hung up the
previous day.
2. In unsettled weather, as the
handfuls are pulled, put a twist tie
around the butt end, and hang ON
the stalk, where it must remain
until the weather opens. Then
take down the small bundles, re-
move the weather tie, straighten
it out, and incorporate it with the
bundle. Two or three of the small
bundles make a permanent bundle,
which should be hung ON the stalk
for a few hours, and housed.
The minuteness of this detail
may cause many to think the pro-
cess too tedious for practice; but
they may be assured that more
fodder can be saved by this plan
than by any other and instead
of not being able to save half fod-
der enough, and iniuring the corn
besides, one can make. in an or
binary season, twice as much as
needed. I made no experiment
by weight, to prove whether the
corn was lighter than if the fodder
had not been pulled. for there was
nothing to justify the supposition.
On the contrary, my corn is bet
ter than any brought into this
market, and has sold for twenty
five per cent. more than others ;.
and the fodder is, worth fifty per
cent. more. After pulling the
lower blades I have twice as much
as / can use.
Several the best farmers of my
neighborhood adopted the plan
last year and were surprised at
the rapidity of the work, and the
quality of the fodder. Southern

Io the Houge of Repregentatiye8::

To the House Of Representatives:
In returning to the House of
Representatives, in which it origin
ated, bill entitled an act to adj
mil the States of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana
and Florida to representation in
! Congress-" I do not deem it neces-
sary to state at length the reasons
which constrain me to withhold my
approval. I viii not, therefore, un-
dertake at this time to reopen the
discussion upon the grave ConsG-
tutional questions involved in the
act of March 2, 1867, and the acts
supplementary thereto, in pursu-
ance of which it is claimed in
the preamble of this bill that these
States have framed and adopted
Constitutions of State govern
ment, nor will | repeat the obiec-
ticAs contained in my message of
the Goth inst, returning without
my signature, the bill to admit to
representation the State of Arkan-
sas, and which are equally appica-
BILE to the pending measure.
Like the bill recently passed in
reference to Arkansas, this bill SUI
percedes the plain and simple
mode prescribed by the Constitu-
tion for the admission to seats in
the respective Houses of Senators
and Representatives from the sew
eral States. 1T assumes authority

has never been delegated to Con-
gress, or is even warranted by pre-
vious unconstitutional legislation

derogation of the equal rights Of

theory which is subversive Of the
fundamental principles OF the gov

The most valuable Southern food
for COWS, horses, and mules, is fod-
der. The observation of all good
feeders, and the evident apprecia-
ton of the animals attest the T
tue of this provender. But the
poor quality of the article usually
obtained, the cost of saving and
the damage done the corn, BY the
common methods, have led many
to abandon this important crop.
Experiments have been made to
prove that the damage sustained
by the corn is greater than the
value of the fodder. Of course,
these experiments only prove that
the corn was damaged under the
methods which were practiced by
the expeTimenters and they dc
not demonstrate that there is no
plan of pulling fodder by which a
good hay may be made and the
corn preserved uniniured at the
same time. On the contrary, ]
propose TO detail a method, prac-
ticed by one of the most scientific
and successful farmers of Virginia,
and tried last year by myself and
others, in this country, which leaves
further to be desired.
In order to bring out the advan-
tages of the proposed plan, I will
first note the errors on the com
mon practice. They are:
~ 1. Beginning too late for lower
blades and pulling them when dry,
thereby stripping the stalks of its
sheath and exposing the juices Of
the plant to the sun. The stalk
be uncovered and nature
has indicated the Importance of
the sheaths by wrapping them so
closely and securely. rs uaar
2, Pulling upper blades too soon,
The blades above the ear are more
in making the grain than
those below. In comparison, the
lower ones are unimportant. Ma
ture indicates the value of the up
per leaves by preserving them
green until the grain is perfectly
hard especially the two or three
the top.
8. BY bending down the stalk,
to reach the blades which are above
the highest elevation of the hands,
very much time is lost, the stalk is
frequently broken and the corn
thereby seriously injured.
A. BY allowing the fodder to take
dews and rain, its value is much
diminished frequently nearly de
stroyed.
The plan proposed, by which the
corn is not at all injured, and the
largest amount Of the very best
fodder obtained is as follows
l. When the corn is Ia the dough
state, and as soon as the fodder is
ripe below the ear, pull all the
lower blades up to the second one
below the ear. Do not pull dry
blades at any time. They are
as fodder, and pulling
them would draw off the sheaths,
expose the stalks and iniure the
corn. These lower blades may be.
pulled six or eight days before the
usual time and no danger be ap-
pretended, In this work . half

The GAINES WILL CAsE.-The cele.
brated Gaines case is again before the
United States Supreme Court. 1t was
before the courts on manddnus in 1885,
l841, 1874, 1s4s, 1855, and 1860, when the
compliments rights to her fathers estate
were fully argued. The issue now made
is by the declaration that at the time of
the conception of the compliments
mother, and at the time of compliments
birth, her mother was the wife of Jerome
Des Grange, and if she be the child Of
Clarke she must, therefore, be his adul-
ferrous bastard child. That she is the off
spring of an illicit connection between
Clark and Mrs. Des Grange, there being
no marriage whatever between them, and
for that reason she is bastard. That in
either case Clarke was prohibited by law
from making last will in her favor, and any.
such disposition was simply null. The old
evidence in the case, in its past stages, is
gone into to show tho truth of the above
declaration, and the laws Of Louisiana are
quoted at length to show that, being adj
Judged bastard, Mrs. Gaines is entitled
to nothing under the will of Clarke, the
instrument being made contrary to law.
