Perkins, administrative of the late
Benjamin W. Perkins, against the
Russian Government for nOn-receD.
ton of 1000 muskets contracted for
by Captain LiDemfeld, has decided the
claimant entitled to damages, for
being prevented by the Russian agents
from performing his contract, asses
sing damages in the sum Of 1926, 600,
with interest from July 1st, 1856, until
the money be paid. The matter, in
its official form, will now doubtless be
laid before the Russian Government.
LEAVE TAKING.
Tomorrow several amendments
will be offered, but probably no altera-
tiOns will be made. An effort will be
made TO take vote on the ratification
on Tuesday. The Executive Depart
ment is anxious that Minister
Schenck shall have in his possession
the ratified treaty previous to his de-
parture for London, on Wednesday
next. OF its ratification, there is
now no doubt. In Great Britain
treaties are ratified by the Crown and
the ratification cannot be vitiated or
set aside by Parliament, before whom
treaties are laid for their information.
Therefore, the treaty in Washington,
after having been ratified by the SEN
ate of this country and Crown Of Eng
land, even though Parliament should
be opposed, viii have the full force
and effect intended by its terms.
The French Minister has obtained
leave OF his government to return TO
France. Mr.. DeBellon, who arrived

THE TREATY.
Prominent Senators say the debate
on the pending treaty has been con-
Quoted with perfect fairness, and none
OF their fellow members have shown
the least disposition to delay, unneo-
essarlly, final action upon it. The
treaty has been considered as ia COM
mlttee Of the whole, and was yester-
day reported TO the Senate.

The Pealtry Yard.

1t cannot be expected that hens will lay eggt
all the time for twelve months in the year-that
would impossible. The molting process, or renew.
ing of feathers, will take six weeks or more; this
is a part Of their nature, and cannot be avoided
if strong and in good health, they will get through
and over it the sooner. If hen lays two hum
dred or two hundred and fifty eggs in year, she
does pretty well, and pays a profit on her keep.
She can do this and rear brood of chickens.
There is much gained by having comfortable
quarters for poultry. They should not be permit
ted to roOst on trees, any other ont of doors
place, without roof OF covering of some sort, eX-
posed to cold, wet or storms. The force of habit
ISIS strongly implanted in their that where
they roOst i'm fair weather they will persist in
roosting all the time.
The poultry house should be SO located and con-
structed as keep its occupants warm and comfort
able in cold weather. and by shutters and slides to
give free ventilation in warm weather. If they
thus cared for, and well fed according to their
natural habits and wants, they will COM
mence laying soon after mOlting-say in Novem-
Der or December, and may be allowed to sit in
February, and hatch out chickens in March.
There is great advantage in having chicks so
early, if everything is in proper order for rearing
them. At this early season there is no danger Of
the gapes; this is one great advantage; another is
that they are already half grown for early mar
ket in June or July, at which time they will
bring more money than when full grown, besides
saving the keep; or if they are wanted for early
layers the next winter, they will be far ahead Of
late Matched chickens, which are always liable to
gapes and other diseases.

If farmers would only cut their corn fodder they

think one reason why so much prejudice ex-
lists against corn fodder as being vaueless for
mich cows, is the slOyenly method of those who
feed in the barn yard, just over the wall from
where the corn grows. This method causes the
cows to come mp at a very early hour, sometimes
by two OF three o'clock, p. NJ, and they will hang
around from that time till fed, thereby losing
three or four hours of precious feeding time
Then again, when they are fed in this manner
they always fight and hook each other fearfully
which helps wonderfully to stop the flow Of
milk. Then there is a loss of manure, &C., &c
My method is to tie my cattle up in the barn,
cut the fodder very fine, and feed literally. The
consequence is, my cows are very quiet, do not
come mp until about six o'clock, and last, but not
least, we saved large pile of manure, which has
well paid for the trouble of tying the cows up

cutter when feeding coarse fodder of any

Relief In Bbg00ofh0ns
An English physician writes q follows to an
English journal:
Rheumatism is impruperly regarded as an infiam-
matory affection of the joints. The pains and
Inflammation there stands in the same degree 10
the disease the pustnes or scarlet eruPtons Ill
small and in scarlet fever do to these diseases.
In rheumatism the pains are merely the symptoms
of general febrile disease. tits to this therefore,
that the attention is to bc turned. There Is IN
every instance condition ef plethora when con-
stitutes the prs:isposition to rheumatism, and
which renders cold or exposure to currents OF arr
capable of producing the disease. Of the medical
treatment, it is not my intention to speak here
but with respect to the prevention of the attack
the warding of its return after 1t has been re-
lieved, I would lay down the following rules:
First-It is Of the utmost Importance 10 com
mence the renewal of the movement OF the affec-
ted joints as early possible after the pain is al
layed. Their strength and fiexibilify depend
solely on the early renewal of motion. On the
contrary, rest tends to retard the restoration Of
the affected parts to complete health. They re-
main painful and stiff, and resist every movement
which is attempted; the more motion is cultivated,
the sooner the limbs restored to their natural
functions. Their exercise RECEIVERS the balance OF
the circulation prevents effusiOn, aids absorption
and consequently favOrs fexibility. If rest be
INDUCED, from the dread of PAIN the joints and
the parts surrounding them become rigid, cOntrac-
ted and their free action permanently impaired
while the muscles waste and lose their power Of
contracting.
standardization, and the daily use of the salt
water shower bath, have a powerful effect in war
ding off theretun ofthe disease. (The salt water
shower bath is made by the addition OF quart of
salt brne to three pailsful of water.)
Third-Flannel next to the skin is essential,
but it should not be worn during summer months.
1t ought not, however, to be too left off,
too late resumed.
Fourth Acids, saccharine matters pastry, and
whatever can contribute to q dyspeptic state Of
less the strength be greatly reduced water should
be the only beverage.

THE NOVEMBER METEORs.
What Observations Of Three Years Indicate

. .
The observations Of the past three years indi-
cate that it will be necessary for astronomers to
slightly change their theory with regard to the
November meteOrs. 1t has usually been suppOs-
ed that the stream of meteoric matter, the orbit
Of which is crossed by the earth in November,
consists of belt that only fills portion of the
orbit, say about lO,OOO,OOOOO 600 miles, which Occu-
pies five or six years in passing the earhs course,
and that the other part of its orbit is a compare
tive blank. 1t was thought that the tail end of
this belt left earth regions on 1866 and that the
head of the stream would not come round to us
