How COOP FARMERS SAVE MONEY. They
take good papers and read them.
They keep account of farm operations.
They do not leave their implements scat
tered over the farm, exposed to the rain,
snow and heat.
They repair their tools and buildings at
the proper time, and do not suffer a subse-
quent three-f fold expenditure of time and
money. They use their money ju%diciou-ly,
and they do not attend auction sales to
purchase all kinds of trumpery because it
is cheap.
They see that their fences are we'll re.
paired, and their cattle are not found graz.
ing in the meadows, or grain fields or Or
chards.
They do not rufese to make correct ex-
periments, in a small way, of many new
things.
They plant their fruit trees well, care for
them, and of course get good crops.
They practice economy by giving their
stock good shelter during the winter, also
good food, taking all that is u%nsound, half
rotten, or mouldy, out.
They do not keep tribes of cats or snarl-
ing dogs around their premises, who eat
more in a month than they are worth in
their whole life time.
Lastly, they read the advertisements,
know what is going on, and frequently save
money by it. ,...-.
Successful farming is made up by atten-
ton to little thing. The farmer who does
his best, earns his money with best appre-
citation, and uses it with best results. Such
men are the salt of the earth. 49,

LEE AND MoTLEY.-It is stated that
when Gen. Lee had his late interview
with Gen. Grant, Mr.. Motley was pre-
sent. The meeting of these two differ.
ent characters is suggestive. Mr.. Mot
ley is the historian of the Netherlands.
He knew how to do justice to brave
people struggling for their liberties
abroad. He could recognize something
to be admired in the wonderful courage
and conduct of the men who guided and
inspired that great combat for liberty
and justice. But when he looks upon
qualities in his own country as heroic
and disinterested, upon valor such as
Greece and Rome never surpassed, and
chieftain, who, in public and private vir-
tue and military genius. has no living
equal, he beholds wicked rebellion and
the most iniquitous traitors that the
world ever saw justly punished by having
their own negro slaves put over them.
Mr.. Motley, the historian of great deeds,
who under no circumstances could per-
form what he has described, will go to
the Court Of st. James to bask in the
sunshine of political and social position,
while Gen. Lee, in the obscure village
of Lexington, is withdrawn from the
gaze, though not from the thoughts of
the world. But, as Mr.. Motley knows,
there is such thing as history; and long
after the present Motley is forgotten
some future Motley will arise, who will
award to Gen. Lee as prominent and
glorious place among the great men of
the world as the historian of the Neither
lands has given to the chief heroic
figure of that immortal struggle

Mail Arrangements.

Mr.. EDToR: The notice defining the
hours Of closing and delivering of mails
I notice has been withdrawn from the
columns of the PHeN1x. and it is appre-
hended that these conditions now depend
upon the doctrine of chance.
The emergency is SO great, the ext
gency so extreme, in the disturbed de-
partment that, it is said, the benevolent
Secretary of State lent his Invaluable
services, to 'tstill the troubled waters;'
and regardless of his high estate, did
good 'yeoman's service" as common
clerk in working out an answer to the
problem of the Columbia post oil ce.
Rumor says that an expectant of mnil
is permitted to pursue the inquiry in per-
son, and may continue his individual
search without indrance-indeed, with
the unqualified approval Of the officials
through the hemped up masses Of mail
matter which have accumulated in the
past week. And mono hail with greater
enthusiasm, or more profound Joy, sue
cess in such expedition than the depart
ment who vainly essay to work order out
of chaos. This is, to say the least, un-
usual; yet, as this is the era of change,
the upsetting Of old customs, and strict
ly speaking, not the way of business,
perhaps it is unreasonable to make re-
monstrance, yet fraud may be commit
ted, and the gate seems opened to the
perpetration of wrong. Your cores
pondent suggests that if not an entire
reformation, at least partial one might
be effected; and hopes that for the future
the post Office affairs may be put into
somewhat better shape. B.

A LARGE FAMILY JAR ON SMALL
BUsT.-The Hartford Courant recounts
the history of brisk jar at Saturday
evening supper table in that city, which
occurred as Mr.. Millson was about to
serve the strawberries and Mrs. Millson
the pie. Just at that particular instant
of time, MIR. Millson, desiring to attract
the attention of his wife, who was vigo-
rously showing knife-blade through the
crust of the pie, tossed toward her full
ripe berry, which, in point of fact, went
with trille more force than was neces-
sary for it to reach its destination, and
struck her square in the face, about a
quarter of an inch from the bridge of
her nose, on the left side, and then drop
ped, what there was left of it, directly in
the centre of the pie. The good lady,
it will be remembered, was exercising n
considerable amount of muscle in the di-
rection of the pie, and her whole atten-
ton was absorbed in that one pursuit;
and being woman, as aforesaid, of sud-
den impulse, was Immediately aroused
when the berry struck her damask cheek,
and without moments reflection-be-
ing just then in the act of of prying up
piece of pie-she dropped her knife,
seized the loosened portion of the pastry
before her, and, in q twinkling, sent it
flying across the table; and Mr.. Millson,
not having changed his base, but being
in the way of the travelling custard, re-
ceived it, not in his mouth, as he expect
ed, but in his right eye; or mostly in his
eye. for there were few fragments which
scattered over his face, and somewhat
added to his unpleasantness. Thereupon,
as soon rs he could collect himself, Mr.
Millson, still mindful of his wife's fond
ness for strawberries. threw the whole
quart at her. This led to more pie in
the opposite direction, and in the midst
of this cross6re, the dessert rapidly dis
appeared. Complaint was made at the
police headquarters by Mrs. Millson,
who was soon after followed by Mr. Mill
