1t seems that the world still
abounds with fools, ybypocrites and
liars. It is known to those who know
us thatwe always preferred to do our

ions, in politics as we'll as morals
rather than lot others do it for us.
1t was party caucus dictation that
brought on q war and ruined the
Country. Demagogues in kid gloves
aspred to do the thinking for the
people-the laboring masses-and he
who aspired to think and act for him.

custom we suppose is to be rein
augnrated. If it is, let it come
well do our own thinking or die.
And we mean to vindicate tho right
of the people to do theirs. We have

RAISING ToMAToEs. 1t may be
worth while for our farmers to read
tho following account of the French
method Of raising tomatoes. 1t is
clipped from an exchange:
AS soon as cluster of flowers are
visible, tho stem is stopped down to
the cluster, so that tho flowers tcrmin-
ato tho stem. The effect is that the
sap is Immediately impollcd into the
buds next below tho cluster, which
soon push strongly and produce
another cluster Of flowers each.
When these are visible, tho branch to
which they belong is also topped
down I, their level, and this is done
succcssively. BY this. means, the
plants become stout dwarf ushos, not
above eighteen inoles high. In order
to prevent their falling over, sticks or
strings arc stretched horizontally
along the rows, so as to keep the
plants erect. In addition to this, all
the laterals that have no flowers, and
after the fifth topping, all latorals
whatsoever, are nipped off. In this
way the ripe sap is directed into the
fruit, which acquires a beauty, size
and excellence unattainod by other
means.

MARRIED THEMsELvEs.-A correspond
ent of the South Haven (Mich.) Sentinel
gives the following particulars of recent
Spiritualistic marriage at Breedville:
This is said to be progressive age, and we
were most happy to see it verified on the Sd
inst, in the marriage, at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Wells Brown, of Mr. VIM. Knowle
and the well known and popular speaker,
Mrs. Frank Read.
1t was expected that Sister Horton would
officiate upon the all-important occasion, but
she was prevented by illness. Under the cir
cumstances it was decided that the next best
thing would be for the parties to marry them
selves. Accordingly, after a few moments
consultation, the following ceremony was re-
peated by them, and legalized by Justice
Hurlburt:
frank, with your consent, before these
witnesses, 1 acknowledge you as my true and
loving wife," ...-.
The bride responding: 81 too, William
with your consent, before these witnesses, re.
ceive you as my loved and lawful husband
Our souls united we shall be true to eacl
other here and in the grand hereafter"
After the ceremony the guests, some f1fty
in number, partook of bountilul end hand
somely arranged repast.

in his other hand carries the long whip with
which he drives his team. These teams are
as novel to us as the plows, being made up
variously of a camel and mule, a horse and

as my observation went, of two horses, two
caines. two donkeys; and rarely OF two bul

we next haul up at Abou Hummus. This
station is not Tar from Ate, a village of near
ly four thousand inhabitants, famous for the
luxurant vegetation Of its neightoring gar
dens and plantations-and where the Nah
moudich Canal, which furnishes Alexandria
with water, is replenished from the Nile by
steam pumps. These pumps have the capacl-
ty to raise ten millions of cubic feet per day.
Damanhour, which next arrests the train,
is the chief place of the province Behera.
With its three mosques, its few handsome
houses, and tombs, it presents quite a fine ap-

1t was near this place that Bonaparte, dur

of his guard, came near being captured by the
Mamalouks. Taken to do by Desaix for his
recklessness, he replied, "H nest point scrit

written on high that shall ever be prisoner

The mud-built village of Kafr ell Douar is
our last station before arriving at Alexandria.
This is an unimportant place in the swampy
regions of Lake Narcotis. The neighborhood
is much resorted to by the Nimrods of Alex.
andria, for the purpose of hunting the wild
boars which are said to abound among the
rank vegetation of its marshes. Thence to
the city the rail passes nearly all the way

GENTLEMEN:-ln answer to your request of the
7th ult for opinion to the condition and pro-
spects of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Min
nesota Railway the character of the country through
which it passes, and the pIobabe OF the
terprise, we would state that before accepting the
trust imposed upon us by the FIRST Mortgage Bonds
of this Company, we had fully satisfied ourselves as
to the practicability of the enterprise.
The road slarts at one OF the most fourishng
cities on the Northern Mississippi River, aud runs
anorthwestery direction up the great rich Cedar
Valley, connecting at prominent points along The
ion, nearly all OF which must be- more less rib-
utary or feeders to this road.
This enterprise is destined to become in connec-
ton with others now In operation or being con-
structed, one OF the great trunk lines from Lake
Superior via st. Paul, Cedar Rap.s and Burling ton
to ST. LOUIS and to the East the Toledo Peoria
and Warsaw, and the Pennsylvania Railroads
which we represent.
But aside from this. the populous condition of the
country along the line OF this road, lis great produc
tveness and wealth, give sufficient guaranty OF a
good local business, which tor any road the best
reliance tor success.
A good index of the prosperity and wealth OF the
country through which this road passes may be
found in The fact that the Company reports over a
million and quarter dollars subscribed and ex-
pended by individuals residing along the line in
pushing QUE hundred and sixty miles of the work,
and it is also strong proof OF the local popularity
and necessity for the roai.
