DURING the session of Congress just closed
there has been sensible reduction in the expen-
ditures of the Government. Every item Of ap-
preparation has been rgidly scanned, and the
estimates of the Departments reduced nearly
$50, 600 900, and these deductions have been
made so judiciousy as in no way to embarrass
the operations Of the Government. To the House
belongs the credit of this good work, for the
Senate loaded most of the appropriation bills
with extrayagant amendments, which only the
frmness of the House induced them to abandon.

THE WAR IN EUROPE.
THE GENERAL ASPECT.

France and Prussia are fortifying themselves
to the best of their ability, and both powers are
endeavorng to form as many alliances as possi-
BILE with such European nations as are not yet
committed in favor of one or the other party.
Napoleon has endeayored to form an offensive
and defensive alliance with Spain, Italy, Austria
and Denmark, but thus far without success.
The various European powers seem determined
on neutrality in the contest. 1t is probable that
some of the powers are waiting for the result of
the first battle before fully deciding upon their
course.

REARING CHICKENS.

The plan adopted by myself for the best mode of
raislng young chicks is first to have a secluded
wen ventilated apartment in the hennery for set ING
mems; nave the nests made with fresh wood asI Is
IN the bottom, then clean oat straw well formed
on on top of the ashes. Ashes keep the yermin out
Ihcn feed regular; keep clean fresh water convent
eht at all times for hens to go to. AS the chicks
come out take them from the hen to a basket or
BOX III warm place. When the chicks are all out
take the hen to convenient place in your chicken
yard or when the grass is not high tie one end of
string to her leg, the other stake or wood pin
driven IN the ground nearly flush with the surface
Lay produce barrel with the open end to the
stake; put in layer of wheat chaf or saW-dust
ana give the hen the chicks. Give the chicks next
Matched to the first hen till she has say twcnty-tour
With the next broods do likewise
me barrels make good shelter from the storms,
ana project the chicks from rats, &C. Have board
twenty inches square to set up at night against the
open END of the barrel; lean a brick or stone
against 1t to keep up. In day time set the board
against one side of the barrel, which makes shell
ter from the sun for the chicks The string should
be four feet long, which will give the hen some
range When the place becomes worn move the
barrel to fresh spot. The barrel should Law on it's
side and be kept from rolling. When the chicks
are large enough to let the hen be confined to
the henery and the chicks roost in the barrel three
weeks longer. then close the barrel and make them

He tore himself from Browns grasp, and
leaped down the stairs like deer. At the
stable-door he collared the half-sleeping
hostler, and backed him against the wall
''Saddle my horse in two minutes, or I'll"
The threat was frightfully suggestive.
''Ihe missis said you was to have the
buggy" stammered the man.
Oh the buggym
The horse was saddled as fast as the nerv-
GUS hands of the astoundcd hostler could
manipulate buckle and strap.
''Is anything up, Mr. Hamln ?'' said the
man, who like all his class, admired the
elan of his fiery patron, and was really con-
cerned in his welfare.
'Stand aside!'
The man fell back With an oath, a
bound, and a clatter, Jack was into the road
In another moment, to the mans half
awaked eyes, he was but moving cloud of
dust in the distance, toward which star Just
loosened from its brethren was trailing a
stream of fire.
But, early that morning, the dwellers by
the Wingdam turnpike, miles away, heard a
voice, pure as a sky-lark's, singing afield
They who were asleep, turned over on theil
rude couches to dream of youth, and love,
and olden days. Hard-faced men and anx-
ious gold-seekers, already at work, ceased
their labors aud leaned upon their picks, to
listen to a romantic vagabond ambling away

STICK TO MAINE.

The Bath Times publishes an extract from
letter received from a gentleman in the
State of minnesota, who was formerly q resi-
dent of our own State, and who is interested
in its welfare and success-a gentleman OF
large experience, and competent to Judge of
the matters to which he refers The writer
says:
''Four years have served, by absence from
your State, to deepen my confidence in Maine
as one of the foremost States in the Union
Her manufactures ofcotton, wool and ships,
slate granite and lime quarries. her fisheries
and commerce, her fat cattle. fine horses and
other stock, her fruits and other natural fab
rics, exhibit rariety of interests that | have
never seen equalled elsewhere. Even her ice
is becoming a source of revenue, and if her
industrious, indomitable people would only
appreciate these advantages and stay at home
to improve and develop them, the State would
profit by their so doing Us much as they
would as individuals. How different this
State, which seems so enchanted when viewed
from your distant stand point! Here we have
nothing Literally nothing-to sell beyond the
limits of the State, except wheat, and the last
year this has not paid the cost of cultivation.

so than spectators are willing to admit.
The fact ought to be impressed on the
minds of your people that Maine is too good
a State to be recklessly left behind for the
West. Such am convinced is the fact.
The small manufactures should be en-
couraged. ANYTHING to afford constant
employment to the laboring at fair rcmrn-
erative wages"

AN EFFECTIVE TEMPERANCE LECTURE

Two gentlemen from the interior came in
company to the Queen City. One of the
aforesaid was Major, and the other was
Brother Tt, who preached little rs oc-
casion might offer, Well, the major, hay ing
contracted certain habits in the army. and
Brother T--having an aversion to river
water, the twain indulged in sundry mugs
of beer, which. without producing any visi-
BILE effect upon the major, did ,isibly affect
Brother t.
This being the situation, the gentlemen, at
a somewhat late hour, retired, the major to
unbroken slumbers and sweet dreams, but
poor Brother T-to feverish tossings and
horrible nightmare. The morning found
the ma or fresh and radiant, who consider
ately left his friend to enjoy q late nap, and
after taking biuers and breakfast, thought
he would look in on Brother t. Ap-
preaching the room, he heard voice within,
and concluding that Brother Twas en-
gagged in his morning devotions, prudently
remainded outside. He then found the words
taking the form of exhortation rather than
that of prayer, and his curiosity impelled
when he was infinitely amused, if not edited.
to see Brother T-s striking attitudes in
front of the mirror engaged in lecturing Il
supposed culprit, in words of very earnest
and stern rebuke. The language was like
this;
''Oh the frailty of the flesh Oh, the van
ity of the world What have you done !?
You have disgraced Yourself! You are a
miserable sinner! You are Il pretty hypo-
crite! River water don't agree with you,
ali? Lager beer does, ah? You have been
drunk, Sir; yes, sir, you pretend to be a
christian, sil,-drunk as fool, sir. You
thought to stand as much as tie major, you
did? Now, where are you? Are you not
ashamed? How can You 90 home? How
can you 90 to church? Can you ever look
up again? Will you do so, again? ask,
sir, will you drink any more beer?'
The major, struggling with suppressed
merrimcnt, endeavored to retreat unobserv-
ed, but the lecture closed abruptly.
When Brother T-came down stairs,
salutations passed between them as usual.
Neither could tell whether both knew all
about it, but when the major blandly sug-
gested whether Brother T-would take
something, the latter said, rather drily,
THANK you, not any" [Cincnnati Com

A Boston acquaintance of our own, a lady
of great responsibility, was walking last week
up Fifth Avenue, in much frequented part of
that great thoroughfare, at the hour of about
half past ten in the forenoon. The wind blew
off her veil, and little girl ran to pick it up
and returned it to her. The lady took her
port-monnaie from her mutf and made the
child some suitable compensation. Imme-
diately upon proceeding on her way, u we'll
dressed man seized her hand, drew it from
the mutf, took from her the port-monnaie,
and retreated with no very rapid steps. She
screamed and announced the robbery, and
few persons made some not very strenuous
attempts to pursue the robber At length, a
policeman appeared and hearing her COM
plant said, "Oh, madam, this happens here
very frequently, and nobody really dares to
seize the thief" II would not live in such
city !" exclaimed the lady. ''Nor |, either"
said the policeman, ''if l could help it," The
lady pursued her way up town, but upon
coming down Fifth Avenue, met the very
robber at corner. He politely lifted his hat
and coolly inquired, Madame, have you
found your purse?" She was glad to get out
of such equivocal company, and to return to
her Boston home, as soon as possible.
Thieves on large scale, we know, abound
in New York, but, except for the avowal of
the policeman, we should have thought a
robbery so bold and so remarkable as this
mnst be unexampled. Boston Courier

Mrs. l.. q. Mcrriman, Lewis Co. n y. sends to
the Rural American the following which she as
sures us makes the most excellent soap. ''For one
barrel of SOAP pour into strong barrel four pals

ponds melted grease previously tried and strain

hours and then stir thoroughly. AS soon as the
soap begins to thcken, add weak lyc, one or two
pailsiul at time, until the barrel is full Be sure
to stir the soap thoroughly each time the I've is

lowing receipt for potash soap is invaluable. Put
IN strong barrel twenty-five pounds of potash,
broken into small pieces. Pour over it four and a
half pailsfu of boiling water. Sir WE'LL let it stand
twelve hours or more. and then dip off carefully
three and onehalf pals of clear lye into another
barrel Next heat thirty pounds of strained grease,
boiling hot, and pour into the lye. Stir well, and
let it stand until it begins to thcken, which may be
three or four days; and then add two pasful of
weak lye daily until the barrel is full, stirring well
each time: The weak lye is made by adding more
water to the potash which remained in the barrel

A BEGGAR WITH $1,000 SEWED UP IN
HIS CLOTHES.

From the Portage County (Ohio) Democrat
we condense the following:
On Wednesday, March 8, about sundown.
Il ragged, repulsive, filthy creature, carrying
q bundle of rags, and leaning wcarily upon
Il rude staff applied at the house of Eli Hutsou,
who lives few miles east of Edinburg Cen
tire, for food and lodging for the night Mr.
H. at first felt like refusing him entertain
ment, but finally provided him with supper
and agreed to give him lodging. At the
hour for retiring the wretched being brought
into the sitting room his bundle Of rags and
spread them out before the stove, and pro-
ceeded to disrobe for the night, declining
all offers of u bed. Rolling in the rags, the
beggar tossed ana moaned the livclong night
away becoming quiet only about morning.
At six o'clock, Thursday morning, Mr.
IIutson arose and proceeded to call his pc
culiar guest. Once, twice, and even thrice
he called, and still the moaning sleeper
slumbered on. AT last, however, he was
awakened, and proceeded to arise. After
getting upon his feet, and while in the act of
putting on a garment, he fell, gasped, and
died. SO sudden and so strange was all this
that the inmates of the house, as well they
might be, were filled with awe and fear.
Neighbors were notified of the untoward dis
pensation, and consultation held.
A coroners inquest was held. The Jurors
having been impanneled, took possession of
the corpse, which was tearfully filthy and
covered with innumerable vermin, and re-
moved it from the house to the barn. BY
their direction Drs. Weir and Ewing pro
ceeded to make a post mortem examination,
and discovered that the cause of the death of
the person before them was disease OF the
heart. Proceeding to an examination of the
deceased, to the surprise and wonder OF all,
concealed in an inner garment, sewed up in
three different parcels, was found money
$50 notes, $50 notes, $40 notes, fives, and
smaller dimensions, the whole amount thus
found secreted being 81 ,0OO.Sl This feature
of the affair was most remarkable, and for
the moment seemed incredible, but vet was
really so. From some papers found on the
deceased it was learned that he was native
of Ireland, his name Patrick Diamond, his
age forty-five years, his stature five feet six
inches. He was a soldier in the Union army
having enlisted at Louisville, Ky, in the
l25th Ohio Regiment, from which he was
honorably discharged on account of a
tubercular affection of the lungs. Among
the papers found was letter from the Pen
sion Agent at Cleveland, dated in 1861, and
directed to Patience Diamond, Ashtabula,
Ohio Further than this there was no clue
to the personal history or social relations Of
the man. If he has friends, family or rela-
tions, they are still to be developed.
