rJ,HE WATT PLOUGH TRIUMPHANT

This PLOUGH Is now the leading Plough OF the
Middle and Cotton States.
Among the hundreds OF testimonials we have
from practical Planters and Farmers, we would
call attention to the following extract from let
ter received from Colonel b. G.. LOCkETT, OF the
large planting firm OF Jordan Lockett, dated
Albany, Gu, November 2I 1869:
"Berorc closing this letter, cannot refrain from
expressing my sincere thanks to you lot tne IN
is the delight OF the negro. Besides doing tlc
best work that have ever seen any Plough do, II
runs with more ease to the ploughman, and the
draft TO the animal Is lighter than any Plough
have ever used.
"Your Plough has already become necessity
to me, and would feel ruined without 1t. am
satisfied we have saved, annually, thousands OF
dollars in mules alone. Ii is the Cheapest Plough
have ever used, OF any kind or description, and
am anxious To bring, IL can, to the notice oi
my re,low-plantcrs. this most valuable Plough"
Colonel Lockett commenced using these Ploughs
in tile spring OF 1865, and now has more than TWO
hundred and fifty t250) OF them on his plantations.
We have testimonials as emphatic from leading
planters Ia North Carolina. South Carolina. GcOr'
gia, Alabama and Texas, but this will suffice Tor
the most incrcdulou5.
During tie present fall this Plough has taken
Premiums ut Fight Fairs held in virginia, Norm
Carolina South Carolina and Alabama, and re-
ceyet the Highest Ratings at the Great Field Trial
in Pennsylvania, in August last. when more than
Fifty Different Ploughs were tested.

Queen Victoria as a Worker.

A correspondent of the Boston Jour
nat, speaking of Queen Victoria, says /:
" As a sovereign, she is the hardest
worked woman in England. Her official
duties commence at seven o'clock in the
morning, one hour before breakfast.
Wherever she is, dispatches are sent
daily in by messengers, who ride in first
class cars, bearing what are called bas.
kets. The papers from all the Depart
meats are submitted to her. These bas-
kets are dark morocco boxes about one
foot in length. 5l a
THESE are sent from Downing street,
the Admiralty, the Home Department,
the Head of the Army, etc. Each bas-
ket is locked by the Minister who sends
it. A card hanging from the inside con-
tains the name of the Minister. Every
train to Windsor, Balmoral and Osborne
carries messengers with these boxes.
The Queen and the Minister alone can
unlock them. All these documents have
to be read by her, for she signs nothing
which she does not read. Every bill, act,
treaty, document, petition or paper re-
curing her name are subject to her per-
sonal attention.
Her Majesty is admitted to be one o
the best business womenin the kingdoml
Each days business is finished before the
day closes. Usually the messenger waits
and takes the basket, locked by her
Msjesly, back to the Minister from whom
it came. The Queen holds a ready pen,
and carries en- her personal correspond
ence, which is very large. She pays her
own postage like any lady in the land.
She has always given personal attention
to her children, and their religious train
ing has been the object of much solicitude
and care. Her favorite pastime at Bal
moral is among the poor, the lowly, and
the sick, with whom she talks, reads,
prays, and leaves medicines, food, money,
and little tokens of her regard"

Idol Worship,

The worship Of stocks aud stones by
the heather is very expensive, as will be
seen by calculation made by Mis-
siousry in China, who has recently been
engaged in obtaining statistics on this
subject. 1t is reported that in one dis
trict in Shanghai at least $l8.0 900 per
aunum are expended to sppease the
souls of the dead. There are l,62O dis
tricts in the empire of China, and taking
the average it is estimated that nearly
thirty millions Of dollars a year are spent
for the Hen gods. In the same manner
il is calculated that $3l, $4,000 are ex-
pended for the Foo gods. The amount
spent in each family for the worship Of
its ancestors is about 81 so to each family,
aud with $4,000, 600 families of Eve per
sons each su aggregate of Sl2O, 200, 600
i, reached.

Playing Butcher.

A St. Louis paper tells of two small
boys who played butcher" One of
them personated the OK to be slaughtered,
while the other acted the part of the
butcher. Providing himself with a
hatchet and rolling up his sleeves, and
improvisipg an apron for the occasion,
he proceeded to get the other little fellow
representing the OK into favorable po.
sition, when he dealt him furious blow
upon the head with the Ratchet, knocking
him down aud making the blood squirt
out copiously. The boys cries attracted
the attention of his mother, who ran to
the spot just in time to arrest the arm of
the "butcher," who was preparing to fol-
low up vigorously his first blow. The
little victim of this most dangerous kind
Of play had his wound dressed, and was
soon about again as usual; but it is safe
to presume that it will take some persua-
sion to induce him to "plsy OF" another
time.

A Youthful Murdarar.

Frank Hardy, young man supposed
to be the murderer of his step-father, j.
Fl. Rice, who was killed on his farm at
Shamrock Landing, near Rome, Adams
county, Ohio, q few days since, arrived
in this city late night before last, in
charge of Detective Boilleau, who re-
ceived him from the arresting officers at
Cairo, Illinois. Hardy is slenderly built,
and exceedingly youthful in appearance.
Ee will be twenty-one years old in May,
but does not look to be over seventeen.
His complexion is dark, and his hair as
black as the ravens wing. The express
sion of his eountensnce is not really bad,
but there are certain sinister lines about
his face and steslthiness in the glance
Of his eye which are by no means prepos-
sessing. Having confessed to the Cairo
officers that he committed the deed with
which be is charged, he conversed very
freely about it with those around him.
He pleads no Justification for his terrible
act. The old man was always kind to
him, he says, and deserved a more peace
ful death. And yet the young murderer
states that he dug his step fathers grave
a week or ten days before be killed him.
According to his own account he got only
$l45 from the body, and ransacked the
house to get more. he stoutly denies
that the little bound boy who left with
him had anything to do with the murder.

Methodist Clergymen and the President
Visit and Reception at the White House.

The members of the Baltimore Confer
! ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
numbering three hundred, and headed
by their presiding officer, Bishop Clarke,
| proceeded to the Executive Mansion on
Monday afternoon for the purpose of
| paying their respects to President Grant.
| A Washington correspondent gives the
| following account of the reception and
| interview: @
After entering the mansion they pro-
ceeded to the East Room and arranged
| themselves in semicircle. General
Grant, on being informed Of their arrival,
shortly made his appearance, aud ad-
vanced toward where Bishop Clarke was
standing, who, after shaking hands with
the President, said:
president GRANT: AS presiding
officer of the Baltimore Methodist Con,
ference, | am delegated to express to you
| their profound respect for the Chiei
Magistrate of the nation, and to assure
you of their earnest wishes for the future
welfare of the choice of the American
people, who have bestowed upon you the
highest position in their gift"
To these remarks General Grant mere
ly replied, Thank you" The visitors
were then introduced to him by Bishop
Clarke, who, having finished this eere-
mony, turned to the President and said,
TITS good thing you haven't to sha ke
hands with all the ministers of the Meth O.
dist Church in the United States or yo
wonld become tired" To this the Pres,i-
dent made no answer, but looked
anxiously as though desirous of finding
break in the crowd of divines through
which he could make off and attend to
business. A gentleman remarked, Per
haps, General, you may have to shake
hands with all the Methodist ministers
before your term of office runs out"
We'll" replied General Grant, smiling
ly, g hope may have strength to en-
dure it," A general litter followed this
remark, and the President, after bidding
good by to the Bishop, passed through a
door leading to his Office, and the crowd
Immediately dispersed. About half a
dozen ladies accompanied the members,
and they were also introduced to the
President, who received them with sp-
parently more cordiality than be did
their male companions, and with an air
Of politeness worthy of distinguishe
anldier
