a banquet was but fair, and a banquet there

a banquet was but fair, and banquet there
was. At which we read:-
"what else shall be said of the feast7 Meade
presided; Sherman made q Speech end chatted
with Burnside or Schoneld or Belknap; Grant be-
times blew smoke through his nose and looked i'm
perturbable. Beknap was asked 70 speak for him,
but misunderstood, and spoke at him. After all, II
Grant can eat and smoke, why should he not speak
The example OF smoking is, perhaps. no better than
that OF speaking, and OF speakers the evening was
full"
And then we are told that ''no one talked
with better brevity than ex-Secretary Borie
in his tribute to Captain Williams of the
Oneida" explaining, we trust, why the de-
partment had not given him boats enough to
save his drowning crew; and, finally, it con-
cludes with a description of post-prandial
agony which only Philadelphia orator is
capable Of inficting. "The feast of reason
was also inspired by Secretaries Cox and
Belknap, and the epcriteiotsng but irresistible
eloquence of that highly popular orator,
Daniel Dougherty."
And the curtain fell on what might, under
proper direction, have been a scene of kind
and genial fellowship, but which, prostituted
by politics, was hollow and dismal
pageant. The camp-fres on the Rappahan-
mock or in the Wilderness created a purer
glow in the hearts of those who clustered
round them in the moment of danger than

speed Of Horses vs.
speed OF Men.
from the Country Gentleman

tfoua Tue Nouhtfg nehtLSih''o'
On seeing the article by can Old
Farmer" in the Country Gentleman
of March 18th, on speed of Horses, y
it suggested to me what j have often
thought of, that it would be better
and more useful thing for our Agri-
cultural Societies to offer premiums
for speed of men rather than that of
horses, more especially for walking.
/ have often found it If great ad-
vantage to be able to walk few
miles very quick. For instance l
live nearly mile from the railroad
depot, and / have often been COM
PEELED to go without my breakfast, or
eat and make quick time to the depot.
Knowing my speed to lie good, |
have usually been able to eat my
break fast and use my locomotion ac-
cordingly.
Once on a time was left by the
stage coach 90 miles beyond the west
end of all Iowa railroad. The stage
proprietor said there was no other
way than for me to wait for the next
stage. But | knew his stages did not
always make time quick enough to
be IN time for the train besides, If
] waited for the stage, must ride all
night. This would be more unplea-
SAINT and worse for my health, than
to walk. l walked and made my
three and a half miles an hour, al
though the roads were very heavy
and bad wheeling. | had good
nights sleep, got in i'm time for the
train, and overlook the passengers
who left me; while the passengers
who followed. rode all night, and
were left by the train. ! was every
way better than if L had waited FOR
the stage, Besides | saved one days
time il. getting home. This was ac-
complished without much fatigue,
and no detriment to health, because
] have accustomed myself to daily
labor, walking and riding.
After practicing walking more than
81 wears, Il do not remember when |
commenced walking, but ! think it
must have been when quite young,)
] 10. day was enabled to mount u
freight train while under way ut the
rate of about II miles an hour, and
thus enabled to get home in the day
time, instead of late i'm the evening,
aud avoided the walk in extreme
darkness and mud besides, have
gained time to write this article, and
advise my fellow men to practice
more walking themselves, end give
less patronage to fast horses, both at
home and at the fairs.

Is the Importance of thinning out
The fruit of the vine duly considered
by the majority of cultivators? l
think not. From close observation,
aud even sad experience, the subject,
In my opinion, calls for much more
attention than is usually given. In
young wires this is particularly the
case. Such vigorous and hardy con-
stituted varieties as the Concord may
stand it, but even they will eventual
Nv suffer. This fault is not only to be
found i'm the vineyards of the novice,
but can be seen almost everywhere,
in charge of those who know better.
This then being admitted, the next
question is: how shall il be RENE
died? Shall we prune it SO much
shorter, so as not to leave more wood
than the vine can carry safely
through, or leave more wood, and
then thin out the punches? The
latter, in my opinion, will lie The best;
for, by the first plan. we yet our fruit
too much crowded and throw too
much force into the the young canes
for the follG wing years bearing. My
immersion is that when Il vine Is
rrrIned to what would seem about
right; the unching out OF every
thirs. lunch. at the first operation of
pinching hack would be the method.
| would leave but two punches on
each bearing shoot, aud in some III
stances it is better to leave but one.
We all know The forming of the seed

we not give considerable relief w hen
we diminish this tax one-third? ]
think we would be safe in counting
on having the same weight of fruit
i'm the two lunches as il three are
left. Some years ago we grew Con
cord punches in this way, which the
committee, who were to test them,
would not admit to be that variety
until they tested them. For market
ing table grapes this is particularly
practicable. For instance, let one
man take Concords that will average
three fourthsof II pound to the bunch,
and another have them as usually
grown, and my word for it, the large
lunches will command nearly double
price, not only among the wealthy
but the masses Grape CHttariSt.
