Y. March q, 1870.
On Saturday evening we reached
this land filled with pleasant scenery,
happy memories. and the cherished
friends of our youthful Gays. The
trip to this place gave us but one lit
tie matter outside of the usual &C.
currcnces incident to travel worthy #
mention. On Saturday morning this

in the sleeping car we cspied the

face in the opposite berth beside the
countonance of one of tho fair ones
Of the village. The gentleman suf-
fee it to say is member of the
Baptist church in good standing, the
head Of family with respectable
wife of his own whom he did not have
with him. Presenting the whole af-
fair to have been q mistake we shall
omit the mention of names, content
ing ourselves with sending each Of
the guilty parties copy Of our paper
containing recital Of this incident

church or sunder their leeherous af-

the duties demanded of them from
their position; but whatever expert.
ence has been gathered by that slow
process Of absorption has been NOR .
than countsrbalanced by a growing
disposition to turn the knowledge
thus acquired to vile, selfish, aud
criminal purposes.
10 say Of the present congress that
it is inbscile and corrupt, aud inca
pable Of dealing properly with the
questions coming before it is merely
to repeat what the respectable por-
ton Of the newspaper press Of its
own party has repeatedly charged
against it. Its most prominent
newspapers have accused it of such
foolish and criminal work that were
the indictment a fair statement of
facts the majority Of men omposing
that body are 10 more entitled to
respect than the inmates of tho in
stitution at Fort Madison.
The charges made by their own
press is, that they have been guilty
Of perjury; that they have enacted
laws pufpossly designed to extort
from the. poor to ell the plstboric
pockets Of tho rich; that they have
lsgislated for themselves and. their
party without regard to the good Of
the country; that they have plundor-
ed the people; that they have famil-
iarizsd the people with the idea that
the acceptance Of brides by legisla-
tors may be sanctioned by custom;
that they have worked steadily to
make the entire laboring masses SUBJ
jsct to the capitalist, and have as
sumed that the only limit to their
authority was their own Wills.
That they trampled the constitu-
tion Of their country beneath their
feet, and along with it, those observ-
anccs CT honesty, and economy, and
propriety, which made the law-mak-
ing power respected before they came
into power and controlled congress.
Their conduct is chargatle with the
prevalent belief in this country that
there is no honesty in official life
and has been the cause of the i'm
preston that rottenness in legisla-
ton is inevitable. aud for this alone
it should be an object Of adherence.
Had it heen bold and unblushing
in the Preparation Of its crimes, and
in its evil and profigate courses,
it would not DO SO entirely reprehen-
sible. It has prefsssed to be govern
cd by "moral ideas" and to be SEN
gagged in the interests of God and hu-
mainly" while it was garnishing Of
fetal prostitutes with tho gable of
the eternal principles Of justice
and freedom" Its worst work, and
the one which has been the moot hid
sous libel upon the white race Of the
country. and which "organized hell
in the southern States" was profess
eddy put forth as action in behalf
Of Liberty and patriotism"
It would be as much an exercise
of common sense to look to an assas-
sin for charity; to thief for honesty;
to a lecher for purity; to one incapa.
BILE of religious convictions, and .
scoundrel by nature and habit. for
reverence of what is most sacred and
noble, as to expect fair and states
manlike legislation from a congress
which has made SO scandalous a rec

This is the day of ounces aud general
delusion. From time immemorial April
1st, All Fools day, has been dedicated
to practical jokes and all manner of
prsnks, frauds and deceptions out of
which merriment may possibly be ex-
tracted. Good advice is a cheap con-
modify and, as it costsnothing, We may
say to each of our readers that if a
messenger rushes for you to 60 in haste
to the depot to-day to see your great
srand-father's uncle, just about to leave
on the rext train, don't go; he won't be
there. If you see q plump looking
pocket book on the pavement inviting
your grasp, Let it alone its greenbacks
are as filthy rags. If you come across a

Beware of all Iumors of sudden death,
accidents, fires and runaways. They
won't pay investigation. Be not tempt
ed into long walks or rides for any pur-
pose, whatever. Cautiously decline the
most cordial tenders of hospitality. In
brief, keep your eye skinned from the

Irri-nIinp Law LnntIn

The Rural World thinks that irriga-
ton OF our low la1ds, and especially
those Of the south aud west, must of a
necessity be adopted. We do net know
why irrigation is not advisable, for the
lesson we receive from the old countries,
where inundating is prlcticed for fertil-
izing purposes, are decidedly in favor of
this method of treating meadows. The
Uorld says:
Irrigation aud undertaking, we
regard as the means through which the
next and most important improvement
in American agriculture is TO result:
Experiments in these branches have
been made by some of our nest progres-
sive farmers with the most satisfactory
and profitable results. There are thou
sands of acres OF meadow land situated
upon the borders of our Western rivers,
and below the neighborlng~ bluffs and
hills from which gush never failing

veyed upon these meadows at compare

advantage. Under the great heat ol
the Western sun, our meadows never
become so permanently and compaotly

more natural climate, and hence ouE
meadows would derive comparatively
much greater benefit from frrtgation-

Ruterprfse in Farming.

The Prairie Farmer thinks that the
reason farmers do not more generally
become wealthy is because they are over
cautious about entering into branch OF
farm operations that have lot been tried
and found safe. 1t says:
The old adsge, Nothing ventured,
nolhiog gained" is exemplified in the
livNN4f ninety-Dige ont of every hum
dred farmers. Many men select farm
ing ss an occupation for the reason the.
they are too cautious to embark in trade
or in any kind Of manufacture. They
think there is little chance of losing
anything in managing farm, and they
want to be on the safe side. A certain
degree of caution isa good thing; but it
10 quite as bad to have too much of it
a. too little. For every farmer who loses
by showing some enterprise in raising
new crops, sowing new varieties of seed,
or in branching out into some new line
of farming, there are n hundred who
keen themselves poor by always turn
ing round IN the same old rnss.
