issued for DR.. Mudd, the assassination
cOnspirator, now confined at the Dry

only remaining prisoners now confined
there on this charge. There is reason
to believe that they will be successful,
and that before the close of Mr.. john

that terrible crime will be released.

mind that the interests of the country
could not be better served than by re-
tanning him at the head OF the War De-

Gen. Grant has done another sensible
thing toward reforming the follies OF
Washington fashions. Preparations
were being made for grand inaugura-
ton ball, and it was to eclipse all the
balls ever held in the city; but Gen.
Grant modestly suggested that if his
own feelings were consulted in the mat
ter the ball would uot be had--and thus
sensibly threw cold water on the scheme.
The tens or hundreds of thousands of
dollars that that ball would have cost
would erect a number OF nice school
houses in the District for the knowledge
seeking freedmen, or relieve the imme-
date wants of all the destitute people
of our national capital and the nearby

CHARCOAL FOR HORSES WIND.-Many
years ago, I remember a horse being
brought into the yard Of Joseph Big
nal, celebrated man for keeping hunters,
at Croydon. The horse was very much
affected in the wind, and could hardly
move from distress. In very few days
this animal did its regular work as hun
ter, with perfect ease and comfort to it
self. Tar water was the cure. Tar is
carbon. and charcoal is also carbon char
coal in powder is more easily given than
tar water, l have tried it with most ben
eicial effect, and I think it stands to reas-
on that the removal of noxious gases and
fatulence from the stomach of the horse
must improve his wind and condition.
Tar is frequently given with benefit id
cases of chronic disease ofthe respiratory
organs but its effects are totally different
from those produced by charcoal carbon.

SAVING CABBAGE.-We know of no bet
ter way to preserve cabbage through the
winter than that which we have recon-
mended for number of years. 1t is to
plant or set them up in rows as they grow
that is with the roots down-fll in be-
tween with soil pretty freely. then make
covering by planting two posts where there
is fence to rest on, or four where there
is not, allowing for ditch to carry off
the water; lay bean poles opposite the
way of the ditch and cover with cornfod-
der or straw. We have kept our cabbages
for more than dozen years this way in
perfect state through the winter and into
the spring, and could even up to the first
of May if desirable.

SURFACE MANURING Some farmers are
of the opinion that grass on what is de-
nominated wheat ground cannot be suc-
cessfully grown more than two or three
years without breaking up, taken crop
of grain, and reseeding to grass again.
This is proably mistake. A good top
dressing of manure on the meadow in the
fall or early in the spring; will obviate the
necessity of breaking and seeding over
again, will give greater depth and con-
tinuity to the sod, and increased richness
to the grasses grown upon it, By surface
nanuring in autumn, when the days are
comparatively short, the escape af ammo
MIA from the spread manure will be very
slight, while the increased vigor given to
the grass the ensuing sp1ing will be of a
very marked character. Top dressing
meadows is steadily gaining in the esti-
nation of farmers, and as favorable sea-
son for making the application is near at
hand, th,se having the ground and the
material for enriching it will do well to
make the trial before the setting in Of
winter.
