If we inspire and expire forty hogs
heads of air q day, rob 1t OF some
pounds OF oxygen, and load it with
other pounds OF corbonic acid gas, we
must need a very large supply for oul
daily use. The ventilation OF bull
dings, public and private, is accom-,
plished easily and safely enough, il
people will take the pains and spend
The money.
Yet it is sadly neglected by those
who spare no trouble and expense for
luxuries less important. l have been
at elegant dinner parties, where what
with the number OF guests crowded
together in = small apartment, the
place of numerous lights, and tho
long sitting, to say nothing of the va
rlety OF wines that insisted on being
tasted, the greatest care was no securi-
ty against such headache the next
morning as only debauch ought to
account for.
There were dozen courses for the
palate, and only one tor the breathing
organs. Let no host expect his guests
TO be anything but sleepy and stupid,
If they are imprisoned in an atmos-
phere which reduces them alto state
Of semi-asphyxia.
1t is our own fault, in most cases, if
we do not get ventilation enough at
home, without any exposure to-
draughts. But once cross your own
threshold and 90 abroad, you are no
longer safe. A friend grapplcs you
warm with exercise, and Ike ps you
talking with the wind blowing through
you, charged with catarrhs, rheuina-
tlsm, lung fevers and other complaints;
any of which your particular constitu
ton may happen to fancy. Never stop
on door step to discuss the origin i" 1
evil, or linger at street corner to set.

Basinlike, unless you are impregnable
to the blast as an iron-clad to bullets.
There are some, no doubt, who can
run half dozen times round com
mon, and set down on Park Street
meeting house steps and oil off, with
out beng the worse for i. But sen
sible persons are guided by their own
experience. 1t is not their affair how
much exposure other people can bear.
Least OF all must the delicate male sex

The railroad car is the place where

The Why II Good Fla rm or vvOrlk =


The Rural .4msriean says: "A good
farmer will not plow more land than
he can cultivate well; poorly cultivated
land is always growing poorer, while
xelltilled land is constantly improving.
A good farmer takes care OF all his fields
alike, and will not slight some fields
because they are not 50 rich and pleas
ant to work as others, but will devote
his attention to the improvements OF
his whole farm, and not let any part 80
to waste, to grow brush and briars.
Il good farmer viii not Keep more
cattle, horses, or stock than he can
keep in good order. Stock in good
order at the beginning of witt, are
much easier wintered than poor
stock. A good farmer will have a
straw stack, or good comfortable
sheds for his stock to lay by or under
during the chilling. winds OF winter; a
little money spent in preparing sheds
tor stock will return very good IN.
terest.
A good farmer. will not depend
upon his neighbors for what he can
produce himself; he will early plant
out good orchard OF the different
varieties of fruit, and take special care
to cultivate the smaller fruits and Der.
ries, also to make a. good garden and
keeplthe same in the best Of order.
And ifhis neighbqrs see that he Is do
ing all this-trying to produce all that
is necessary to make himself and fam
lily comfortable-they will be very
willing and even glad sometimes to
furnish him and his family fruit, &c,
while his own orchard is growing up.
A good farmer will pay attention ia
political matters, and NOT be ignoran,
Of the great question Of National and
State policy, which. always agitate
more or less, free people. Yet, in
doing this, he will not spend his time
IN the village, by the store or tavern
whiting pine boxes; but will attend
to his various kim of work in good
season, and fix up all things ready fol
the approaching winter. e
When good farmer has anything
to sell, he is willing to take a fail
price when offered TO, him. kknowi,
farmer who last year was offered %, X
per bushel for his wheat; lie was MOI
willing to sell at that, he wanted fivs
dollars per hushel; waited q while fol
the market 70 rise, and, was~ glad Il

NEW YORK.

New YoRK, May 3l.-A Lima letter of
the l4.h says the Government has recog-
nized the Cubans as belhgerants, and has
decided to grant them all usual privileges
Senior Valery, Cuban Commissioner,
had arrived at Lima sometime previously
TO ask the loan of the Peruvian monitors
for the use of the Cuban insurgents, bu.
the request has not been complied with.
A Panama letter says three sailors, be-
longing to the British ship Kensipgton,
who were thrown into prison sometime
ago by the police in Aspinwall, prove to
be Americans who arrived during the
war, and Consul Rice is trying to get
them out. They were fred upon,
wounded and put into chains, and 80
have remained for month, almost
starved, without any prospect for trial.
Mosquerro's chances for the Presiden-
cy are Frightening daily. His election
will be an insuperable bar to the United
States treaties on the subject of Repub-
licasism.
Valparaiso advices Of the third state
that the Gillian Congress are discussing
the question of recognizing the Cubans
as belligerants.
The eighthour law has been promulga-
ted at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, com

Congressman Butler is reported to
have said that the law in the Alabama
controversy is on the side of England,
and it had been 80 decided by our Su
preme Courts, but that we should, never.
theless, withdraw from our intercourse
with England because of her course in
taking advantage of technical law to
injure us. He opposed Reciprocity
Treaty with Canada, as we were unfairly
treated in the last one, bat that
such a treaty would be of great
Advantage TO Canada and England.
He expresses the greatest confidence in
Boutwelrs policy, and considers him the
best Secretary Of the Treasury since
Hamilton.
The Herald says proclamation of
belligerent rights TO the Cubans from
President Grant would now settle the
question in Cuba in less than a month.
In fact, the Peruvians may settle it within
that lime; but what sorry settlement this
would be for the United States. The
country expects the annexation of Cuba.
General Grant ought TO be ashamed of
this sort Of American dignity and deco
rum. lis nonsense, it's stupid old fogy-
ism, and we have had enough Of It.
