The Government A griculturaI Report.

"The agricultural report for 1867 is
in n single volume of five hundred and
thirty-two large octave pages, hand
sOmely embellished with numerous Gu
cravings on wood. Two hundred and
twenty -four thousand five hundred cop

thousand for distribution by Senators,
one hundred aud eighty thousand by
Representatives, and twenty-threc
thousand by the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture. 1t is barely possible that ii

close of the present Congress

hundred copies of an agricultural re-
port which was due two years ago,

The sac Murphy Claim.

As the discussion progresses IN the
Senate upon the SUE MURPHY claim'
the interest in the subject enhances,
aud the magnitude of tho principle ana
the precedent To be settled, begins to
be appreciated. Ii the MURPHY claim
be allowed, it admits the legality and
justness of large number Of claims OF
Southern citizens for the destruction or
use Ofprivatc property during the war,
which have hitherto been denied in the
Departments, and although 1t is Seuer-
ally estimated that the aggregate of
the claims of This character is twenty
five million dollars, yet officials, con
vcrsunt with the matter, say that there
il reason Ia believe the aggregate Will

THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Pleasant Table.


A cheerful table is one of the greatest
attractions Of q well-ordered. house, but
to make it so, several rules must be OBJ
served, the principal one of which is
punctuality. Insist on every member
of the family being ready at the mo
ment, so that no vexatious delays shall
take place. Unpunctual people are
very apt to complain Of want of time
and pressing business engagements; but
when these interfere with their duties
at home, it is generally their own fault.
A habit of attending to everything at
the right time, makes it easy to accom-
plish all that comes within the ordinary
routine Of daily life; and when extraor-
dinary things occur, why, excuses may
be accepted. The mother should also
insist npon some sort of ceremonial in
the way of toilet-well brushed hair,
clean hands and face, fresh collar, a
ribbon in the hair, white waist, or a
bright colored Garibaldi for the girls,
and neatness at least in the boys. 1t is
a good plan, also, to use husband and
to the use Of napkins, or to the
custom of politely waiting on each
other as they would if they had friends
at the table. Attention to small mat
ters like these costs little or nothing,
and is yet an invaluable part of family
education. Teach children also To find
pleasant subjects of conversation, and
bring them to the table to relate anec-
dotes, to tell what they have seen,
where they have been, what they have
read, so as to add their quota to the gem
eral stock of amusement. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that all this u useless
If the mother herself does not contribute

ner, well-cooked, palatable food; clean,
bright table furniture, whether crock
cry, delf or china; and q disposition to
look on the best side of things. A
sunny temper is the finest illuminator
in the world.

On nv 'lazy couch," and musing upon

saw the whale, the shark, and all the
monsters of the deep" making common
sport of these victims of death. AT this
stage of the frightful scere | awoke, as
I thought, only to witness what would
almost drive any common man to q
state of desperation. In this last act of
the frightful drama, | saw mad bnlls
dashing along our streets, making q
havoc of death and destruction
with everything in their reach. l saw
wild beasts Of every description run
ming at large, making common prey
of everything in their reach, while

OF safety. 1 saw steamboats, dashed in
pieces and miles of railroad cars hurled
over precipices of rocks, presenting a
scene of destruction of life and property
that was truly horrible. saw millions
of acres of fertile land swallowed up in

True enough; for in taking view of
a weekly which was at hand, l was hor-

Virginia was soon to be cursed by an
other sitting of the Legislature, and
members of Congress did not die fast
enough for tbe good of our country.
