tnat it was because the Prussian King spoke
disrespectfully to a French ambassador o.
something of that sort.
1t was a summer evening
Old KaSper's work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun:
And by him Sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her brother PeterIxin
Roll something large and round,
Which he beside the rivuIet
Il playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found
That was so large, and smooth and round
Old Kasper took it from the boy,
Who stood eXpectant by;
And with natural sigh
And then the old man shook his head,
" 'IiS some poor fellows skull" said he
Who fell in the great victory"
al find them in the garden,
For theirs many hereabOut;
And often when 1 go to plough,
The plOughshare turns them out;
For many thousand men" said he,
Were slain in thegreat victory"
Now tell us what twas all about"
Young Peterkin he cries;
And little Wilhelmtne looks up
With wonder waiting eyes
" Now tell us all about the war,
And what they killed each other for"
at was the English Kasper cried,
Who put the French to Tout;
But what they killed each other for,
could not well make out;
But every body said,' quOth he,
THAT twas a famous victory.
My father lived at Blenheim then,
That little stream hard by
They burned his dwelling to the ground,
And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he fed,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
"With fire and sword the country round,
Was wasted far and wide;
And many q child and mother there,
And newborn baby died;
But things like that you know must be
After a famous victory.
They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rOtting in the sun;
But things like that you know must De
At every famous victory.
Great praise the Duke of Marlboro won,
And our good prince Eugene"
Why, twas a very wicked thing
Said little Wiihelmine.
"Nay-nay-my little girl" quOth he,
g. 1t was a famous victory"
F." And every body praised the Duke,
Who this great fight did win,
- But what good came of itat last "
QuOth little Peterlxin.
- Why, thatI cannot tell" said he;
But twas famous victory"

a AIINTED JOKE.-In the year 1G70,
the Danes advanced with large force
upon Hamburg but after a siege of
considerable duration, seeing little hope
of ultimate success, they finally with
drew and marched back. ThereupOn
the Hamburgers caused a medal to be
struck in commemOration of the event.
On one side Of this numismatic cuTios-
ity was the inscription: "The King of
Denmark came before Hamburg.
What he gained by it will be found on
the other side" On the other side was
a total blank.

THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIsI.

SOuthey's famous " Battle of Blenheim -
has doubtless occurred to many persons
within the past few weeks, who " i'll be glad
to see it repeated. The future Kasper, how
ever, will be able to tell what the great war
of 1870 was about, when he recalls the wasted
country by the many thousand bodies that
lay rotting in the sun after the great victory.
The little Peterl1in of that periord will learn
tnat it was because the Prussian King spoke
disrespectfully to French ambassador or
something of that sort.

On motion, J. B. Klllebrew, ESQ.,, was
called to the chair and W. S. Mallory

The President stated the object of the
meeting, and the importance of uniform
labor system.
Capt. Elliott Offered the following
which was adopted:
Resolved, That the agricultural interest
of the county demands change in the
labor system.
Resolved, That the system of cropping
as heretofore practiced in the county is
riuaous to both the laborer and employer
and the welfare of the county requires q
change in this particular.
Resolved, That it is detrimental to the
public welfare and contrary to the interest
of farmers, TO furnish house or fuel free
to laboreTs, unless such persons are labor
ing for fair remuneration.

INTERVIEWED MANURE.

Many excellent farmers have an idea
that manure, to be most efficient in rails
ing crops, should be well rotted; but this
is mistake. Manure loses a very large
percentage. Fresh manure, dripping with
animal urine, hauled directly from the
stable on the land aud plowed under, is
worth nearly double that which has de-
composed to saponaceous consistency.
When it is convenient for farmers to haul
manure ON cOrD ground from the stable
as fast as it is made, it saves handling it
twice, aud forwards the work in busy
spring time. No fears need be enter
tanned that the atmosphere will carry off
the strength of the manure if left on the
surface. The only danger to be appre-
hended by this method will be in the case
of the ground being frozen and covered
with snow and ice when the manure is
applied; if upon sloping land, the virtue
of the manure might wash away: but on
level land there is no exception to this
plan of operation during the entire fall
and winter -Germ0ntOaUn Tele-

THE TEA CItITI1RE.

The Knoxville CTenn.) Chronicle says:
''The cultivation of tea is beginning to
attract good deal of attention in some
parts of this country. 1t is said that the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
will make an elaborate report to Congress
on the subject, designating the speci-
mems of soils where the plant can be most
successfully cultivated. Meteorological
reports from China and Japan, have been
compared with those of this Country, and
the conclusion arrived at is that there are
large tracts of land in the United States
upon which tea may be successfully cult
waited. The experiments made by Mr..
James Campbell, six miles east of Knox
vile, on the French Broad river, proves
that it may be successfully cultivated in
this latitude. Who knows but that this
may become one of our great staple pro
ducts in a few years Who knows but
it may become necessary for us TO import
a hundred thousand Cinnamon to engage
in its culture?

CHEAP ECE BOTJSE

A correspondent of the Rural World
gives the following plan as cheap model
for making good ice house, especially
where drainage can be had without much
labor:
'For ordinary farm purposes, make an
excavation 10 by IA feet, u feet deep;
then dig trench and lay tile or some
other material in the bottom to prevent
any water from standing, which will melt
ice very fast. Wall up all around eight
feet; then put on your center, and turn a
good arch over the entire length. The
arch ought to be Of brick, nine inches
thick and four feet elevation, or of stone
twelve inches thick. Put the door in at
one end and perpendicular; also a trap
door, as in outdoor cellars; ran fiue
about four feet at each end to carry off
the heat and gas.
''COVer the arch with earth to the depth
of three feet and sod over and plant a
clump of trees, TO prevent The sun from
shining on the mound, and you have a
house or cellar that will last an age, and
give eood satisfaction. The perpendicu-
lar door, 2 by At feet, is large enough for
convenience; a cellar of the above size
can be built for $75, all complete, in this
section of Illinois; and, if properly filed
will supply the demand for any ordinary

REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERs

DR.. J. B. s., of Newmarket, Va,
writes the Country Gentleman as fol-
lows:
Some time since l concluded to write to
yen concerning hCg cholera. l think !
have discovered specific for that dis
ease. Believing it to be blood disease,
(frOm my observation of it, which has
been CONSIDERABLE and very similar to
dipbtnGTia in the human species, | have
treated it very successfully in similar
manner to my treatment of diphtheria in
mankind.
ChlOrate Of potash is the great remedy.
1t contains a grsat deal of oxygen, and at
once improves the impoverished c0hdi-
ton of the blood. l give it with turpen
tine rendered soluble By rubbing up with
gum arabic, and then adding water, and
giving it TO the hogs with bran. None
of the above medicines are poisonous,
therefore can be given without being very
particular as TO quantity; hence / have
not given my formula. Where the mu-
COus membranes have been involved iu
any disease, turpentine has been used ad-
vantageously, but the great remedy in
hog cholera, on which rely with implicit
confidence, is chlorate Of potash. / cured

Assuming the several propositions to
be fully sustained by the authorities, as
well as by many others that might be
cited; it follows, that twas competent for
plaintiff in error to justify his taking of
the five guns in the exercise of belligerent
rights, they being enemy's property and
such property as could be made available
for purposes of war. 1t was therefore,
erroneous in the Circuit Judge to exclude
the proof that plaintiff in error was a
military officer at tle time of Selling the
guns. For that error the Judgment is
reversed and the cause remanded.

The UNION AND AMERICAN.
THE GOOD OLD PLOw.

Let them sing who may OF the battle fray,
And the deeds that have long since past,
Let them chant in praise Of the tar whose days
Are spent on the ocean blast;
would render to these ali the worship yoI
please
would honor Them even now
But I'd give far more, from my hearts full store
To the cause Of the good old plow.
Let them lAud the notes that in music float
Through the bright, and glittering halls.
While the am'rous twirl Of the hairs bright curl
RouDd the shoulder Of beauty falls
But dearer to me Is TIE gong from the tree,
And the rich and blossoming bough,
o, these are the seets which the farmer greetE,
AS he follows the good old plow.
Full many there be that We daily see
With . selfish aud hollow pride,
Who the plOwmSn's lot, in his humble cot,
With 3 scOrutul look deride:
But had rather take hearty shake
From his hand than to wealth I'd bow,
For the honest clasp Of his hands rough grasp
Has stood by the good Old pillow.
All honor then to these gay old men,
When at last they are bowed with toll;
Their warfare DER. they battle no more,
For they We conquered the stubborn soil,
And the chaplet each wears is his silver hairE;
And meier shall the victor's brow,
With larrel crown, to the grave go down
Like the son OF the good old pl0w.

oILuNG FARW InPLEmENTs

The Boston CuIttUator gives the fol-
lowing sensible and practical advice TO
its r5sders:
Every farmer should have a can of
linseed oil and brush on hand. and
whenever he buys a new tool, he should
soak it wei with the oil snd dry it by the
fire or in the sun, before using. The
wood by this treatment is toughened and
strengthened, and rendered impel, ious TO
water. Wet a new hay rake and when
it dries it will begin TO be loose in the
joints; but if well oiled, the wet will have
but slight effect. Shoveis and forks ale
preserved from checking and cracking
in the top of the handle by oiling; the
wood becomes smooth as glass by use,
and is far less liable to blister
the hand when long used. Axe
and hammer handles often break where
the wood enters the iron; this part par
ticUlaTly should be loughened with oil to
secure durability. Oiling the wood in the
eye of the axe will prevent its swelling
and shrinking, and sometimes getting
loose. The tools on large faHn cost q
heavy sum of money; they should be of
the most approved kinds 1t is q poor
economy at the present extravagant prices
of labor, to set menat work with ordina-
~ old-fashioEed implements. Laborsrs
should be required TO return the tools to
10 the places provided for them; after
using they shoUH be put away clean,
bright aud oiled. The mold-boards of
plows are apt 10 get rusty from one sea-
son to another, even if sheltered; they
should be brushed over with few drops
of oil when put away, and they will then
remain in good order until wanted.

FARM AND GARDEN.
RUSSIAN APPLES.

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
just received from the Imperial Botanical
Gardens of St. Petersburgh a collection
of Russian apples, embracing about 400
varieties, in duplicate. These have come
in perfect condition, and are well provided
with gratis, which will be at once distri-
buted to nursery men and others who de-
sire to experiment with and propagate
from these promising acquisitions. For
the Northern and Northwestern States
this is regarded as one of the most valu-
able fruit introductions that has ever been
brought into this country. It should be
tried in Tennessee. We have no doubt it
would do well in our mountain districts.

bear upon the mind of another son, then

no court could hesitate TO set aside the

HOW TO RESTORE BURNED
STEEL.

STEEL.
The following hints will be valuable to
blacksmiths: "a simple method of re.
storing burned steel TO a workable condi-
ton consists in immersing it in prepar-
alton made by melting three parts of pure
colophony in crucible, and after it has
become perfectly fluid, adding, with con.
tinued stirring, two parts of boiled lin.
seed oil, care being taken to prevent the
mixtures catching fire, of which thre is
danger should the temperature be too
high. A dark brown mass will ultimate
ly be obtained of the consistency of sy-
rup, which has the popularity that any
piece of cast steel, however much burned.
when immersed in it at a red heat, imme-
diately RECEIVERS its orfginsl excellence,
and should the operation be repeated
several times successfully, a quality of
steel is obtained Of a fineness much SUI
perior to that of its original condition.
The tempering is best done at dark red
heat in rain water.
