for recommending to Congress such legis-
lation as would restore the excluded States
to the Union with governments which
would command the respect of the peo-
pie, and insure the reign of law. Such
course would have brought upon Grant
the denunciations of fanatics like Phil
lips and Anna Dickinson, and Sumner,
but would have met the warm approval
of three fourths of the Republicans in the
Northern States. The New York 7ri-
bune, in what it has said about impartial
suffrage and universal amnesty, is fairly
committed to the doctrine that 40 politi-
cal disabilities ought to be imposed on
account of participation in the rebellion.
The tone and temper of the mes
sage are not altogether bad, but there
ought to have been something else than
recommendation that the people of
Virginia and Mississippi be permit
ted to vote on constitutions which
are obnoxious to them, one of which has
already been rejected, and both of which
are detestable, in that they are the work
of carpet Dagger and negro conventions.
The suggestion that the DISTINGUISHING
clauses in the constitutions be submitted
separately, is one in the interests of con-
servatism, but it ought to have been &C
measures which would guarantee to the
people fair election.
The insinuation that the Southern peo-
pie are now "williDg to become peaceful
and orderly communities" but have not,
before, since the close of the war, been so
Inclined, il simply contemplate, and can
be shown to be false by his own testimo
ny. Docs he want his whitewashing
report revived?
He knows, as well as he knows that the
Grant family and its dependencies are nu-
merous, and that they thrive well on Gov
eminent funds, that all of the interests Of
the men who were engaged in the rebel
lion demand order and stable government.
They have prayed for them, and not the
Almighty, bat Congress and Satan, an
swered their prayers with the reconstruc-
ton infamy.
1t is probable that the message was
written with view of helping the white
men of Virginia and Mississippi, and in a
kindly spirit toward them, and that the
statement concerning their willingness to
become orderly communities" was die
tated by wish to propitiate Congress.
He rehearsed, while acting as Chief Mag
lstrate OF the nation, a SANDER against
millions of his countrymen, through fear
of the Congress whom he addressed.
| There may have been something of poll
cy in connection with this cowardice, and
for q purpose relieving its abiect chsrac-
ter. The men whom he SANDERS will be
charitable enough to think so, if, for their
benefit, he can engineer any thing decent
ont of the present Congress. Chicago

DESTROYING VERMIN ON CATTLE-Per.
NIT me TO inform your querist that have
tried many things to destroy vermin on
cattle, and that have found nothing SO
good as mixture oftrain oil and spirits OF
turpentine, in the proportion of five OF
six glasses of oil to one of turpentine
The latter is destruction to insect life, but
by itself is too strong and gives pain; il
is blister for horse.-C0r. Irish Farm
er's Gazette.
THE Dutch do not wash with ma
oh ha
use simply refined borax. Dutch women
are well-known as models of cleanliness,
at least in their own country. They get
up linen whittier and nicer than any others,
and they do it by using refined borax as a
washing powder instead OF soda, in the
proportion OF large handful to about ten
gallons of boiling water. They thus save
one half in soap. Cambrics and laces re-
quire an extra quantity of the powder,

To DESTROY RATS AND MIcE-One of
the surest and most available poisons for
this purpose Is carbonate Of baryta, dry,
white, tasteless powder, not adapted to
mingle with any liquid. In using it, mix
it up with good dripping and meal, or
beat it up with the raw flesh of fish, SO
as to make a relishing paste for them to
eat. If it is to be used for the destruction
of troublesome cats, take a piece of raw
fish and rub the powder well into it with
a stick. Care must be taken to SO place
the bait that only the vermin intended to
be destroyed by 1t shall have access to 1t,
as it is deadly poison, alike destructive
TO dogs and any other animals that will
eat the preparations Of which it forms a
component part Always burn the bats
that have been set overnight, as the sur

Comparative Experiments.

In speaking of the importance of COM
parative experiments, Mr.. Mechi says:
Whenever l use an artificial manure, l
leave a portion of the field unmanured
with it, and am thus enabled to Judge by
the crop if am remunerated by the out
lay. SO various are the soils and condi-
tions of each field, that such compare
tive test becomes absolutely necessary
for where the whole field is MANFRED, and
no portion left undressed, no just conclu-
sion can be arrived at. On this farm l
have frequently applied bone-dust, super
phosphate, blood-manure, and other artifi-
cial manures, without the least increase of
crop, while Peruvian guano and especial
ly our shed manure are always profitable.
AS know that on many farms such ma
nures have been found very effective,
there must be causes that render them in
operative on this soil. No doubt shed ma
nure, resulting from animals fed with
corn, cake, roots ard hay, malt-combs,
and bran, contain all the elements for
every crop. Possibly it may be that hay
ing thus enough phosphates, the addition
of more is not required or availed of by
the plant. At all events, this proves the
necessity for comparative trials" We
commend this suggestion to our readers

Small Matters.

THERE are many otherwise good
farmers who are entirely regardless of
little fixtures, and who devote all their
time to the larger matters. Now we hold
that while the latter should by all means
be made the main objects of attention, the
former should on no account be neglected,
and it is as much the part of the thorough
ly good farmer to see to the one as to the
other We enjoy visiting farm where
this attention TO little matters, this time
spent in fixing UP" is everywhere no
ticeable, and in complete keeping with
the more weighty matters. We like to
see the well built gates instead of bars,
barndOOrs On rollers instead of hinges,
and fodder racks for sheep instead of feed
ing them on the ground or floor. We
like to see all doors to outbuildings pro-
vided with hasps, for both fastening them
upon the inside if necessary, and also for
securing them back, when open, from the
action of the wind to see gate to shut
across barn door to keep out cattle or
sheep when the door is open; to find in
connection with every barn or stable a
closet for harnesses or carriage robes, as
well as q toOl-rOom for the storage of the
larger farm tools and implements to find
hooks for hanging up odd pieces of rope,
chains, shovels, and the like, and nails for
hanging up the smaller tools and utensils
used upon the farm, as well as boxes
for the reception of old iron and every
sort of waste, and ork-ben oh
and tools for making and repairing al
kinds of farm implements. If in examin
ing the buildings upon farm we find the
latter, we are also generally sure to find
al the other conveniences suggested above
as well as many others it is not necessary
to enumerate. And one hardly knows
without having tried il, how much the
farmer can accomplish during his spare
hours in the way of fixing up his build
ings with these handy accompaniment
nor how much they add to the actual value
of the farm, not only for himself in per
forming the necessary work upon it, bu
in the estimation of any one wishing tC
purchase farm. Attention to these little
matters marks the really economical, sue
cessful farmer
We recently passed the residence of {
man who would be indignant did we mo-
class him among the best farmers in tn,
town where he resides, whose OK cart wa
standing by the roadside, where it wa
last used, and a part Of whose harrow wa
visible from beneath snow drift in az
adjoining field. They will be ready whel
wanted in the spring, but we fear the ex
ample of the farmer in this matter will b.
hard to be counteracted by his more com
mendable qualities; and the contrast be
tween him and the farmer who has all hi
tools and implements well housed in hi
outbuilding or barn cellar, is too striking
to need further illustration.-Main

in the time to come. We must look there
for the intellectual forces which in after
days are to guide the Republic. Where
the predominance of experience and of
brain is, there we must necessarily expect
TO find the initiative, as well as the con-
trolling energy of the Government; and
if in the progress of events the various de-
partments are to fade into bureaus, and to
become clerkly establishments merely, it
will be for Congress to inspire their ad-
ministration, to dictate their methods, and
to control their action.

VII TIER ARE WE TENDING THE DAN
GER BEFORE Us.
All the free governments that ever -four
ished became tyrannies, and fell in exact
" the same way. History is monOtonous
with the story of the ruin of nations by
the same events in the same order. Al
ways the motive power is minority OF
plotting politicians. They study first to
secure to themselves the plumber and spoil
of the national wealth. They can only
succeed in this by getting power, and
they cannot get power so long as those
constitutional forms are intact by which
power belongs to the majority. Down 1oes
the Constitution, therefore, crippled at first
by a restriction at one point, an addition
at another, and overlaid by changes of
every sort. But the most important
change is that the executive is always re-
duced to a nudity In free government,
especially a Federal government, the ex-
ecutive is the only direct expression there
is of the majority of the whole people.
He represents the popular unity, while
all other representation is of parts. He
is the keystone of an arch. He is the will
Of the natiOn-its initiative. And if a
nation is to be really vital among nations
to be respected, and strong and free
the only theory Of government upon
which it can stand is that the executive 1:
the government, and all other parts arc
but safeguards to prevent tyranny. This
is the reverse of what the oligarchs say
they holding that Congress is the gov
eminent, and the executive the funtionary
of Congress. Pursuing this idea, the
ambitious minority always works upon
the fears of the people by representing
the executive as aiming at tyranny, and
thus executive power is given into the
hands Of the legislature. Then follow
in the conflict of schemes and counsels
disorder, license, corruption, anarchy, the
destruction of property, the loss of al
public morality, till the nation becomes 9
banditti and is blotted out, or till some fel
low halts his guard in front of the legisla
tive hall, strides in and declares himsei
first consul, king or emperor, and has the
applause of the nation because at least hi
represents order and safety One nigh
write a formal history of Republics OF

names to suit occasion, and it would bs

Food for Working People.

THE kinds of food most wasted, because
eaten when not wanted by the system, are
the most expensive. The article most
used when not wanted, is superfine -four,
out of which has been bolted its nitrates
and phosphates This being used with
butter and sugar, furnishes very little but
heating material. The next article on
which most money is expended and vast
ed, because most used with other articles
containing carbonaceous elements, is but
ter, which contains not a particle of
strength or life-giving material, and there
fore useless except with food deficient in
carbon.
And another article most extensively
used, and for the same reason wasted, is
sugar, which, though useful with too acid
fruits, and as part of a meal in which is
too large proportion of heterogeneous food,
is worse than useless in confectionery,
cakes, etc, especially if eaten be-
wanted, as it not only adds to the super
fluOus heat, but causes fermentation in the
stomach and bowels, and causes, or tends
to cause, flatulence, collie, dyspepsia and
thousand and one troubles of he digestive
organs, which we are apt to impute to
green vegetables and fruit, when the fact
in their passage out of the system, embar-
rass the digestion of natural food, and
causes it to give us these troubles; and
this is proved by the fact that those
who avoid these expensive and useless
articles may eat as much as they
choose of green vegetables and fruits, and
they give them no fatulence, produce no
irritation.
Our Puritan forefathers, who lived on
beans, pears, unbolted grains, and the
meats, vegetables and fruits as they came
from their fields and gardens, cooked in
the simplest manner, best calculated to
develop their natural flavor, and prepare
them for digestion, were not troubled with
fiatulence, collie, or indigestion. And our
foremothers were not the pale-faced, fab
by-muscled, toothless, chloretic, consump-
tive and sentimental race, as are the degen-
crate daughters of the present generation.
Even our farmers and their wives and
daughters have become terribly degener-
ated. Instead of the robust and healthy
men, and the full-chested, healthy, rosy
checked, beautiful women of former gen.
erations, we see people almost as feeble
and sickly as the city people. And the
reason is apparent. The outer crust OF
the wheat, and the butter milk, which con-
tains the nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron,
on which strength and energy, mental and
physical, and beauty of complexion de-
pend, is given to the cattle and the pigs,
while they take themselves, instead, the
butter, fine flour and sugar, which contain
only the heating and disease producing
carbOnates.
The robust Irishmen and Scotchmen,
also, who come here with strong energetic
muscles and sound teeth, from their oat-
meal, wheat and barley cakes, with their
potatoes, buttermilk and cheese, soon fall
into our starch and grease eating habits,
and become, or at least their children be-
come, as pale, puny and toothless as pure
blooded Misunderstanding.
