POLITICAL ITEMS.

Prentice says the Radical leaders
can't afford to be honest, life is too short.
Congress puts it out Of the power
of the President to dismiss rascally Office
holders, and then abuses him for retainin g
them.
The Radicals have won an elephant
in Grant, and are now growing because
he will not show them the contents OF his
trunk.
The TenuIe-o Of Office Law is law
of liberty-liberty to the Office holders 10
steal all they can and commit all tie ras-
cality they please.
The Chicago Post is responsible for
the following: "If we are to believe the
Commercial AdrertiS6r, the only vice which
Fenton has failed to become possessed of
is the Vice Presidency.
A New York dispatch of Feb. 18th
says: "The Republican factionsin this city

assails the Senate, and Senator Morgan in
particular, for opposing the repeal of the
Tenure-of- Office law; and the kUening Posi-
denounces the Tribune as insincere in its

Drill in Your Oats.

In moderately rich soil, oats should be
planted with grain drill, putting about
one bushel, of forty-fvc pounds, to an
acre. Flowing the ground in the fall
will enable you to SOW oats much earlier
than spring blowing, and the earlier
oats are sown the better are the chances
for good yield in quantity and quality. If
the spring season is very wet, ground that
has been plowed in the fall can be sown
almost as carly as spring blowing be-
gins. Late oats do not have time TO ma
ture, and, unless the season is very favor
able, generally prove failure. In most
OF the Southern States, oats should be
sown in January or February.
Oats that are drilled in are improved
by stirring between the rows, the yield
being often increased twenty per cent
First-rate soil is not necessarily needed to
raise oats, but the richest soil always pay
best. Seventy to one hundred bushels is
not an extraordinary yield for the best
kinds of oats on good soil If the sea-
son be too wet to pillow, / prefer put
ting in oats with shovel pillow on clay
soil. On sandy soil it yields best to drill
it in with super osphates.-Fdrm Jour-
nal

Does it Pay to Make a Rag Carpet !

JENNIE T. HAZEN, in the Western Rural,
says no, and specifies as follows:
In the first place, ifyou reckon your time
as worth anything, it don't pay.
In the second place, if you cut, or tear
up garments which might be worn longer
as they are, or cut over for some other pur-
pose, it don't pay.
Ii you buy new cloth red or grcen-as
| have known women to dot don't pay.
If you devote al your time to it, to the
utter exclusion Of other duties, it don't
pay.
If you hire it woven and pay fifteen
cents per yard, it don't pay.
It you weave it yourself upstairs in a
cold room, or in the wood house, and take
o cola which may terminate in something
very serious, if not fatal, it don't pay.
Ii you buy your dye stuffs at the present
prices, it don't pay.
If you can do any other kind of work,
and earn carpet, it don't pay.
If it is made for the other rOOm," and
is to be kept Immaculate from the tread OF
profane feet, except on company days, ii
don't pay.
If it involves the sitting up of half the
night, when nature demands re?Ose, il
don't pay.
If it makes you nervous and cross, and
you scold your husband, and spank the
children, ii don't pay.

In The Way.

A MOTHER who was preparing some
flour to bake into bread left it for a few
moments, when little Mary-with childish
curiosity to see what it was-took hold OF
the dish, which fell to the floor, splitting
the contents. The mother struck the child
a severe blow, saying, with anger, that she
was always in the way. Two weeks after
little Mary sickened and died. On her
death bed, while delirious, she asked her
mother if there would be room for her
among the angels. 81 was always in your
way, mother: you had no room for little
Mary And will be in the angels way ?
viii there be no room for me?" The
broken hearted mother then felt that no
sacrifice could have been too great could
she have saved her child.

beast. Second, buy them cheap, and they
are half sold. Third, feed them on the
best food. Fourth, give them their food
regularly, and let it be clean and whole
some. Fifth, keep them warm and COM
Portable. And lastly, sell as soon as they
are good beef, as that is the time the
farmer gets the most profit out of them.
A WRITER for the Germantown Tie
graph accidentally discovered that his
hens liked the bone meal that had been
strewn upon the ground near some bushes.
Thinking the food might be Of service, he
gave them of it for two or three weeks,
when the eggs began to "come down" as
they had never been known to do before.
If a nest was broken up to prevent hen
from sitting, it was but few days before
the hen would be laying again. The cor
respondent, though testing this food for
but a single season. has no doubt of its
efficacy. he now feeds corn and bone
meal
CLAY OVENS. In some sections of
country, a cheap oven for baking is good
thing to have near, if not in the house.
A correspondent Of the Country Gentleman
/ gives the following directions for making
: one of common clay: A board platform
/ is laid, and on this thickness of clay is
laid to form the bottom of the oven. On
this kind of mould, just the shape of
: the interior of the oven, is built up of
chips, pieces of bark, etc, and over this
the clay is spread and kneaded, to ccnsti-
tute the sides and top of the oven. The
mould, as we have termed it, is then set
on fire and burned out, which leaves the
oven ready for use.
A WRITER writes "Putting up the
hair of children in curing papers, breaks
it and checks its growth; often pulls it
out by the roots. Curling irons are fatal
to the hair of both children and grown
persons. The heat saps up the Juice ont
of the fibers as effectually as fire or frost
saps the vitality of green branch, leav-
ing but dry, withered skeleton. The
practice which hair dressers have of friz-
zing out the hair with a comb, to make the
most of it, is one Of the most cruel injur-
les that can be Untitled on the living hair
The comb cuts it in the act Of frizzing it.
You can test the truth of this by combing
out the hair after it has been so dressed
The hair sometimes comes out by hand
fuls; and further, this process tangles UP
the hair, and great deal Of it is broken
and pulled out in trying to comb it straight
again"

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

a HORsEMAN says he has cured the
worst kind of scratches he ever saw with
two applications of white pine turpentine,
thoroughly rubbed in.
IT is said that common shellac dissolved
in alcohol makes the strongest cement for
wood 1t will unite the fractured legs of
your chairs and tables as firmly as if they
had never been broken.
To CURE SORE TnRoAT.-Beat the
whites of two eggs with two spoonfuls of
white sugar; CRATE in little nutmeg, and
half pint Of lukewarm water. Beat up
well and take a wine glass of it every three
hours.
SUGAR CANDY.-Six cups of sugar, one
cup of vinegar, half cup of water. Boil
about half an hour oitliom stirring. Try
little in cold water, and add any essence
you choose when done. Stirring turns ii

THE Ohio Farmer recommends paving
milk yards with blocks of wood sawed five
or six inches long and squared by taking
off the top. The surface of the earth
should be removed at suitable time,
made smooth, the blocks lid close to-
gether, and the interstices filled with
gravel.
FLANNEL CAKEs.-Warm tablespoon.

little salt, and stir in two tablespOOnfuls of
yeast, and -four enough to make thin
batter. Then add two we'll beaten eggs.
Let il rise, and after five hours standing,
bake on a griddle in cakes the size of a
tea plate The griddle should not be
creased after the first baking.
BEEFsTEAK DUMPLING. Choose Juicy
piece of beef without much fat, and cut it
into neat slices about half an inch thick,
sprinkle some salt and pepper over them,
place q small lump of butter on each, roll
them up tight, and flour them little
with rolls of beef, add a few mushrooms
and little catchup; cover up the meat

"truly loyal " Van Horn shouted" Ben.
Butler wanted the House cleared of in
terlopers," meaning the Senators, while
another bolder Radical excl lined 1--WE
want the Senate to get out of here; and
during all these digniied Radical proceed
ings, we are further informed, the older
and more respectable Senators hung their
heads and blushed for shame" while the
occupants Of the diplomatic gallery sat
silently studying the lesson of our Con-
gressiOnal manners"
Under such remarkable circumstances
the great chieftain of the late war was de-
, clared elected President. We would like
to know his thoughts concerning these
truly loyal" proceedings. Doubtless
they would prove interesting to the .peo-
| pie. If Democratic Congress had been
guilty of bringing such disgrace on the in
| situations of this country, every Radical
paper and every Radical preacher, down
to the Rev. George, would descant with
wonderful fertility on the mob-spirit dis
played and the disgrace brought upon the
nation Before the war it would have
been attributed to the "bsrbarism OF
slavery" and now TO the influence OF the
accused rebellion" But to what attrlb-
ute this disgraoeful occurrence, for which
the Radicals are answerable? Are they
not animated By the enlightened infiu-
ences of New England, the truly puritanlc
spirit? Are they not mostly the repre-
sentatives of States whereabouts 1Ourlshi

ertheless, it seems that for the most dis
graceful proceedings that ever occurred
in the American Congress, the Radlca
party will be answerable? How will The
Radicals excuse it? What can the repre-

Why Is it

That the feeble totter, with uncertain steps, over
the face of the earth in danger every day of falling
victims to the morbid influences by which are
all surrounded, when tested and proven vegeta-
bic tonic, capable Of endowing them with the
vigor they need is procurable in every city, town
and settlement? 1t might reasonably be thought
that after the twelve years experience which the
world has had of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, ALL
would know that its effect is to prevent disease.
At this season, the atmosphere is surcharged
with the seeds, OF intermittents, remttents, rheu-
matism, pulmonary disorders, bilious complaints
and the like. Persons whose nervous systems
are relaxed are the first to succumb to these dis
tempers. Brace up the physical energies, then,
with this potential vegetable tonic. II is the most
powerful recuperant which the botanic kingdom
has ever yielded to patient research and expert
ment. TRY 1T. The blndest disciple of the old
medical dogma will at least admit that tonic and
Alternative, compounded of approved herbs, roots
and barks, can do no harm, while the testimony
of thousands invites trial of its virtues.
NigOr is the thing most needed in these cases,

Orr Boots and Shoes.

THE Scientific american says: It is
somewhat surprising that, with all our
boasted improvement, we have not yet
produced proper covering for the foot
Barbarous people, if their climate admits,
go with bare feet or wear sandals, cover
ing only the sole and portion of the leg,
in material almost imprevious to air or
moisture, and, generally, uncOmfortably
hard and rigid. The color and polish of
our boots are directly calculated to attract
the suns rays; and the enamel on patent
leather, and the backing on cafskin,
tends to harden and solidify the substance,
closing the pores and making alright
cases for q portion Of the body which
exudes more perspiration than any other,
and is subjected to greater strain. Our
boots in summer parboil our feet in warm
bath, and in winter freeze them in an icy
envelope. 1t is doubtful if wet feet are, in
themselves, very conducive to disease,
some medical men TO the contrary not
withstanding; but cTamped confinement
Of the feet, in an icy cold envelope gene
rated by perspiratl0n and chilled by the ex-
ternal atmosphere, thus shutting the i'm
prisoned feet almost alright, is as un-
healthy as it is uncomfortable. For hot
weather there is hardly any shoe so agree
able as that introduced within the past
three or four years, known as the army
shoe, and extensively used by base ball
players 1t is of a heavy canvass and I'M
blacked leather. Il is cool and remark
ably easy to the foot. The texture of the
canvass allows the escape Of the perspir-
alton, and the color Of the shoe does not
attract the heat of the sum- 1t would seem
that the plan of covering other portions
of our bodies with material pervious to
air, might advantageously be extended TO
our feet. There is no natural reason why
our feet should be so much less sensitive
than our hands. They become indurated
and deprived OF their natural activity by
long, close confinement. The people OF
warm climates, who use their toes as we
do our fingers, and the schoolboy, who
picks up and throws pebbles with his feet,
show that the foot of the civilized adult in
our climate is much abused member
A more flexible and porous material for
our boots and shoes might save us from
many OF those terrible annOyances, which
in the form Of corns and buniors, make
our pilgramage one of pain.

To Eake Cows Give MILL.

a WRITER, who says his cow gives all
the milk that is wanted in family of
eight persons, and from which was made
two hundred and sixty pounds of butter
this year, gives the following as his treat
ment. He says: off you desire to get a
large yield of rich milk, give your COW,
three times day, water slightly warm,
slightly sailed, in which bran has been
stirred at the rate of one quart to two
gallons of water. You will find, if you
have not tried this daily practice, that
your cow will give twenty-five per cent.
more milk Immediately under the effects
of it, and she will soon become so attach
ed to the diet as to refuse to drink clear
water, unless very thirsty; but this mess
she will drink almost any time, and ask
for more The amount of this drink
necessary is an ordinary water pail full
each time, morning, noon, and night.
-Four hundred pounds OF butter are often
obtained from good stock, and instances
are mentioned where the yield was even
at a higher figure"

Another Radical Exploit.

The Radical Congress engaged in count
ing The votes for President and Vice Presi-
dent appears to have degenerated into
something like mob. The proceedings
seem TO have disgusted even the reporters
of the Radical press, otherwise always the
ready apologists of every high. handed and
illegal Congressional exploit. Now for a
moment we hear the truth. Let us be thank
full We arc told, that the day (Wednes-
day is To- be remembered with avert
cd head and the crimsoning of shame -
that every Radical was adding his part "to
this disgraceful bedlam. Farnsworth, on
