The statistics OF the Department us
Agriculture show that the population OF
the United States l. increasing faster
than It's live stock. This result would
hardly have been expected with so much
vir2ln soil every year brought under cui-
uVailon by The entcrprising cmigrant.
But the decrease will be found in the
older STATES. Here stock raising has
kept 10 lis Old ways Of using three times

For the old theory that land Is benefited
by pas:uring has proved tlllaciouS, and
the result Is that less stock Is kept in the
Older States. The high prices realized
tor the products oi the dairy, has caused
and liz some other States, but very little
stock j. raised, as the farmer thinks the
expense too great to be repaid in the
vainc OF the young animal. Yet, if the
farmer realized that he could rear and
keep two animals on the same space
that he now keeps one and with a mere
trltie of additional labor, it would large
ly increase the number of live stock, and
the profits OF The farmer
And the system of SoiIing, which we
shall endeavor TO illustrate in this Az

twice the amount OF stock that he now
does, under the old system of pasturing.

RascaIItr In HOlmes county

Theeensusj just completed in Holmes
county shows that the Democracy of
that stronghold are up to the tricks of
the Democracy of New York city.
The returns of the census takers show
a loss in population, within the last
ten years, Of about twelve hundred
inhabitants. Yet, strange rs it may
seem, every fall election has exhibited
a steady increase in the total vote,
and a corresponding increase in the
majority for the Democracy. In the
township in which Millersburg Is
situated, the total vote of 1868 was
S12, as reported on the pOll-bOOk, out
of a population of less than 2,900. No
wonder tile Democracy look to Holmes
county for n heavy majority at the
retIIrIbOf every election. The Demo
eracy for years have east an illegal
vote of not less than five hundred in
that county.

RAIN AFTER BROUGHT.

The lips Of Earth, the Mother, were black;
They gaspOd through hssure, and creviee,
and crack;
Oh, for the fall OF the raini
And the life Of the flowers paused; and the
wheat
That was rushing up seemed TO drop in the
heat,
And its green grass-blades, they yearned for
the sweet,
The sweet, sweet kiss of the rain!
Theseeular cypress, solemn and still,
The sentinel pine on the edge OF the hill,
Watched, but they watched in vain /;
And the glare ON the land, the glare on the
sea,
The glare on terrace, and tower, and tree
Grew fiereer and fieTcer, msTcilessly;
Oh. for the fall OF the rain!
The streams were silent, the wells were dry,
The pitiless clouds passed slowly by,
With never a drop of rain.
The priests in the town exhumeda saint,
They passed in procession with prayers and
plant,
But the heavens were cruel, or faith was
faint;
Came never a drop OF rain;
Oh, for the fall of the rain!
One night the sky grew ragged and wild;
With the sound like the lisp and the laugh
OF a child,
Fell the-first sweet drops OF the raini
Moist lips OF the mist the mountain kissed,
And cooled the hot breath of the
plain.
The emerald wheat leapt gayly to meet
The welcome kiss Of the raini
And the roses around, rs they woke at the
sound,
Broke into blossoms again;

The following aneedOte Of General
TrOchu may be read with interest, at
a time when he is called upon to play
an important part in public affairs, as
it shows that he is nOtless distinguish
ed for his private virtues than for his
talents and courage as a soldier. Up
on the death Of his father, some years
ago, he became entitled under the
French law of accession, to mOiety
Of the small patrimOnial estate in
Brittany, which was to be divided be-
tween himself and brother. Thi3
brother had eleven children. The
General had none. He simply re-
marked that his brother needed the
property more than he did, and re
iinquished his share Of it. Not long
afterward his brother likewise died
Upon this occurrence the General OBJ
served that, having no family of his
own, he was better able 70 provide for
that which Providence had bestowed
upon him. He adopted his eleven
nephews and nieees, laid down bis
carriage, reduced his own domestic
exDeuditures, and assumed with cheer
fulness the duty OF providing fOF the
whole Of his late brothers. family and
household. .-

Deacon w, was n staid and
honest deacon in one of the interior
towns of this State, who had q vein
of dry eaustic humOr in his compost

dozen summers, who was somewhat
inclined tc be n little ugly when not
under the parental eye, In school, ,es-
pecially, John was source of con-
slant annoyance to his teacher. One
day the teacher punished him for
some misdemeaner, and John went
home 10 enter his complaint, and told
his father that the mistress had W hip

''What exclaimed the deacon ele-
waiting his eyebrows, "been whip

"And did ye let I woman whip ye?"
shouted the old deacon.
"Ya-a-as. / couldn't help it."
"Well, John, you little rascal, you 60
to school tomorrow, and ifMiss E.
undertakes to whip ye agin, you just
pitch in don't let a woman whip you
again if We can help it. Don't take
any stick to strike with, but ye
may strike, bite, scratch and kick rs
much as you have q mind to-"
The next day the boy went to
school and embOldened by the permis-
sion given him by his father, was
soon brought before the tribunal of
violated rules. The teacher undertook
to correct him, and he did rs his faith
er had told him. The result was that
John got a most unmereiful trOunc-
ing, and was thoroughly subdued.
When he went home he went to his
father crying
HWell, dad, I got an awful bad lick
ing, to-day"
HWhat!' said the old deacon, "have
you let that woman whip ye again ~
'rYa-a-as," said the boy.
"Ya-a-as," chuckled the humorous
old deacon, "yOu tarnal little fool, 1
knew she would, and she'll give you
trOuncing every time she undertakes
it, and 1 advise you to behave your
self in the future"
John began to have some pereep-
tion of his fathers motive, and ever
afterwas q better and wiser boy.

Democratic GsRgresSmen Want 70 Paw
Rebel Claims


During the last session Of Compress
sly and insidi0us efforts We're made tn
induce Congress to set precedent in
favor OF paying rebel claims for losses
during the war. These, through Re
publican vigilance, were not success
full. It should be known, however.
that Democratic congressman boldly
advocated the doctrine that rebel
losses should be reimbursed. Speaker
Blaine, in a letter 10 his constituents,
testilies as follows: :.1lF o-..
2 One Of the most insidious and dam
gerOus and probable modes Of destroy
ing the national credit under Deme-
cratic rule would be the payment or
attempted payment from the National
Treasury Of all Southern claimants for
losses inflicted by the war. This IS
not an infeTenee-fOF it is boldly
avOwed by leading Democrats in both
branches Of Congress. In April last,
during the peRdenoy of bill in the
Senate introduced by Mr.. Howe, Of
Wisconsin, 70 pay 'TOydF' citizens for
quartermaster and eommissary stores
taken during the rebellion, q Demo-
cratic Senator, Mr.. McCreery, moved
to strike out the word "lOyal,n and
supported his motion by an earnest
speech. On the 21st Of May, Mr..
Knott, Of kentucky, an able, frank
and fearless gentleman, one Of the
leaders on the Democratic side of the
House, speaking on this question, used
the following language:
But, sir, this is not all, nor half.
I have been speaking Of only 50 much
Of our debts A we have given. Our
notes for, Besides this we owe. at the
very lowest calculation, s., 900. .00O, 600;
not tothe blOated bohdhOlder, Of whom
we have heard so much, but to a class
Of our people 10 whom of all others
we are under the most sacred Obliga-
ton TO pay. We owe it to the poor,
whose horses and cattle and sheep and
hogs and corn and wheat, and every
thing else, were taken from them to
sustain your armies in the field"
If the Union army had the right to
make war for the maintenance Of the
Government, i5 had the tight to ''fOr-
age ON the enemy;p but the Demo-
cratic proposition now is, that every
rebel in the South shall be paid for
what he lost during the war, and we
have leading Democrats authority
for saying that the amount required
will be three thOaSdRd IslilLiORs gf dol

Is it right or safe at this time to ex-
alt unrepentant rebels and their cop
peFhead allies to the seats of power? 3?

Murderer Ieuu,tted.

In November last, Major MeCurdy,
formerly in the Cavalry service, now
a resident of Mount Gilead, shot his
son in his stOre-rOOm. There was
some mystery connected with the ar
fair, at least the shooting seemed to
the people, after all explanation, much
like Il deliberate murder.
The trial Of MeCurdy was conelu-
ded at Mount Gilead on Monday. It
had continued eight days, and the
public were greatly excited. The jury
returned q verdict at midnight on
Monday of "ROt guilty" The most
intense excitement and indignation
prevailed on the announcement Of the
verdict, and the jury were openly in
suited. ? -' --- -
