A SLASH AT THE GRAND ARMY.-A
late issue Of the New York Tribune con-
tains the following slash at the organization
known as tho Grand Army ofthe Republic:
From the Grand Army of the Republic
now parading through the political conyen-
tions in the west commanded by the cap
tains Of the caucus, the lobby and the bar
room we appeal to the Grand Army of the
Republic which carried our banner over
hundred fields, under the. eye of Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan. We denounce
this secret association as out Of sympathy
with the true Radical party, and as inimical
to the Constitution and the Union. It
will be "a sad day for our party when soldiers
find no better work than to prowl over
the battle fields of the past, and dig up the
bodies ofthe slain. The country needs peace
and rest, and harmony, and Justice. These
men want distracted country that Office
may be gained.
Now, if that had been said by Democrat
ic paper. there would have been ut once
return change of disloyalty.

STREET ETIoUErrE.-Only villagers or
persons with rural ideas any longer contend
that ladies should always be given the in
side of the pavement in passing. The
rule adopted in cities is to turn to the right
whether right leads to the wall or gutter,
and an Observance of the common sense
rule would obviate much unpleasant
" scroughing" BY over gallant gentlemen
who presistently crowd for the outside of
the walk. Another common custom, and
required by fashionable etiquette, and one
which is nearly as inexplicable and absurd
is the practice of whole string Of men
filing out ofa church pew, making them
selves asridiculous as an " awkward SQUAD"
practicing at catching step" in order to
give a woman the wrong end ola pew as
that of a man, when on promenade or a
walk with lady, to keep himself on the
outside ofthe pavement. A little exercise
Of judgment will convince any person Of
the utter uselessncss Of this bobbiDg back
and forth at every corner.
The common rule is this: Ifa man and
woman are walking she should always be
at his right arm whether it be toward the
inside of the walk or not; then the woman
will not be showed against the passers.

six days, six weeks or six months in per-
forming his work, and for which he may
charge one dollar or twenty per day, as he
shall see fit, and this bill provides no REM
edy for incompetency, delay or overcharse
ofthe steycdorc." In the judgment Of the
Governor, "thc enactment of this law is
not only unnecessary, but it is unwise and
injudicious, and is directly opposed to the
best Interests Of our Territory. He believes
it is the duty of the Legislature to cncour-
age in every proper manner the commerce
Of Puget Sound, and to offer every induce
ment for ship owners to send their vessels
into our waters. TO this end it is neces-
sary that port charges be SO restricted as
to form no impediment to the shipping
business, which is so important to every
other interest of our people. In his opin-
ion masters should not only be allowed to
load their own vessel, but should also be
allowed to employ any person they see fit
to do this work for them" For the above
reasons the Governor returns, without ap-
proval, the bill to the House in which it
originated.
e B. No. 6s. fixing the compensation of
the Treasurer of Walla Walla county, was
indefinitely postponed.

4 Few WORDS ABour 1IoHsEs.-Hay

a Few WORDS ABour IIoVsEs.-Hay
and oats make the best feed for horses that
are obliged to work hard and regularly.
If the hay is cut fine and the oats bruised
or ground, the whole mixed and moistened
the horse will eat his rations quicker, digest
them sooner, and thus have more time for
resting and renewing his power for labor.
Farmers horses that work little during
winter time may be kept cheaper by cut
ting and mixing bright straw and hay in
equal quantities, and adding ration Of
steamed potatoes or raw carrots. Colts
should be fed literally ofgood hay-bright
clover is best--and bruised oats, give them
roomy box stall in. stormy weather and
during nights. Litter freely and do not
let the manure accumulate under them.
Sawdust or spent tan makes good and con-
venient bedding; ia cities and villages they
arc often cheaper Than straw. Groom
horses well and let them have exercise
every day; run in the yard is excellent.
See that stable floors over easements are
sound and strong. Arrange the feed
ing racks so that dust and hay seed will not
fall into horses names or eyes; some horse
men build their managers too high, thus
forcing the animal to take an. unnatural
and painful position when eating. Farm
horses that are not worked should have
their shoes taken of, and those that arc
driven on the road should be kept we'll shod.

EARTH CLOsETs.-A stock company
has been formed at Hartford, Connecticut,
for manufacturing these closets or COM
modes. The earth closet resembles high
backed chair or box, and takes the place
OF the common water closet but at greatly
reduced cost, and free from Inconvenience
of freezing in winter, as there are no water
pipes. Neither is it in any way offensive
in warm weather. After being used, the
pulling Of the handle discharges into
the closet pint Of dry earth, entirely
preventing any effluvium. The hopper at
tachod to the back part of the closet, con-
trims earth for twenty-five times. Then
the cutie below, containing the dirt, may be
taken away, or it may be repeatedly used.
Several convenient kinds of dirt may be
used, such as peat, coal ashes, clay loan,
but neither sand nor wood ashes would be
desirable. Whatever material is used
Should be perfectly dry, as wella thorough
lv advertised.
my ingenious farmer could make one Of
these closets. Ifhe cannot devise sprink-
lines apparatus, a little scoop to be used by
the land, is said to be effectual. The ma
nurc made is Of course very valuable, and
fully repays the expense and trouble of the
arrangement.

grave quaint sayings that have in them
much wisdom and observation. The other

the new carpet, the new furniture, the new
doors, the new windows, the new rooms
all, but he said nothing. At night his
father had prayers as usual. When it was
