Manuring Vines.

For vines the well rotted barnyard
manure is best. Old bones, unless
broken up finely or dissolved, are
not worth carting any great distance.
One vineyardist who applied several
hundred loads of whole bones to a
few acres of vineyard, receiving no
benefit therefrom, dug up and sold
them to the manufacturer of bone
dust for flour. Wood ashes are al
ways valuable, but should be applied
to the surface of the soil after the
vines are planted. There is no val
ue in sawdust, except as a mulch,
and then it does more harm than it
does good, unless lime is occasion:
ally applied to prevent acidty and
the growth of fungi.

Wholesome Diet.

Freshly soured and thickened
milk is esteemed by the doctors
very wholesome and easy of di-
gestiOn. Families in the country
may make this serviceable by stir
ing several spoonfuls of orange
wine or native port into a dish Of
sour milk before it sets, then leav-
ing it to curdle, and eating with
powdered sugar and nutmeg. The
wine quite disgulses the unpleasant
taste ofsour milk, and makes it a
delicacy. When cream is churned,
as it should be, every morning, the
buttermilk may be treated in this
way, and will be found very rich.

Turning the Tables.

Halt. Your money or your life
Throw up your hands, exclaimed
u stranger, stepping out from q
shadow, while accompanying the
words might have been heard the
sharp click of pistol. The person
addressed was weary newspaper
man vending his lonely way home
ward, in the outskirts of the city,
about O'Clock in the morning.
"Oh, yes, certainly. I'm in nc
hurry. Only walking for exercise
Just as soon hold up my hands as
not. I'm not armed. Please turn
that pistol 4 little to one side. II
makes me nervous"

Pretty House Vine.

A lady florist says that a pretty
house vine is the sweet potato plant.
Puts tuber in pure sand or sandy
loan, in hanging basket, and
water it occasionally. 1t will
throw out tendrils and beautiful
leaves, and will climb freely over
the arms of the basket and upward
toward the top of the window. Not
one visitor in a hundred will know
it, but will suppose it to be some
rare foreign plant. - Maryland

But they looke ed not fine and tall
As my neighbor's flowers and trees, that grew
On the other side of the wall.

With richer tints than mine,
And his grapes in the summer sunshine seemed
More full of precious wine.

For my neighbor long has passed away.
And his wealth has come to me.

And tire OF the scent of flowers.

And all that have resign,

Treat Gently.

Mich COWS cannot be whipped or
terrified into standing quietly, gently
and patiently during milking. When
treated harshly they dislike to be
MIXED, for they know that loud
words and hard blows always attend
the operation. They dread to see
the milker as the little urchin breads
to see the birchen rod in the hands
of the angry pedagogue when he
expects to have it applied to his
back. But when petted and treated
with gentleness, cows like to be
MIXED.

Farm and Household.
Use the Best.

A great many farmers live too
poor for good health and a cheerful
and happy mood. The poorest kind
of economy is to sell all the market
able things on the place, and eat
only those that are unstable. Treat
yourself now and then to a meal
of the best your place affords, and
it will yield you large interest in
the increased working power it will
give then in the little gain the sale
might have brought to your purse.

What Protection Has Done For
Germany.

Germany has ust proved herself the greatest
and most powerful nation in Europe in con-
test with the FIRST military power of the world.
In campaign of only six months she humbled
France in the very dust, debating her own
terms in the capital of the nation after series
of uninterrupted victories, the most brilliant
and the most decisive in the worlds history,
making million prisoners, Staying quarter
Il a million of soldiers, and reducing her oppe
nent from the first almost to the lowest rank
amongst the great nations of Europe.
This war has proved Germany to possess re-
sources before not even'suspected The power
which this war has proved her to possess has
not amazed the world so much as it COMPOUNDED
France, and it has led to an inquiry as to the
origin OF their wonderful resources-this mighty
power The result has brought out the fact
that revenue policy most rigidly protective in
its character has long been in operation in Ger
many, and that to this wise system of encour-
agement to their own industry is due more than
to any other cause the wonderful resources and
strength Of the nation. This truth was very
clearly set forth by the Hon. W. D. KELLEY,
VI uPOh 'HC vi cndue
by the German citizens of that city few days
ago, in the following terms
"Why are England and France tending to
poverty while Germany is becoming stronger
and richer One fact is the key that explains
the whole. England and France embarked in
favor of free trade. Thirty five years ago Ger
many was exporting raw material. At that
time a German who had been down in the
mines of Schuylkill county, returned to his ma
tive country, and through his persevering
efforts a protective policy was established.
Frederick List taught Germany the protective
policy, and by this means, instead of disinte-
grating, they have been becoming the United
States of Germany. They now export no raw
material, but send their steel to England-to
Sheffield and Enfield, and send their cloth to
England also, where they compete successfully
with the British manufacturers. Her protec.
ton has given profitable employment to her
citizens ard increased the value of her men,"
The boast of the free trade advocates that
the people of nation which has derived such
benefits as are here enumerated, are opposed to
its application to their adopted country, is a
poor compliment to the consistency and patriot
ism of our German fellow citizens, and an i'm
putation that they will be likely to resent
They can have no sympathy in this or in any
other matter with party who proved SO bitterly
unfriendly to Germany in her late war.

IS Facts for Southern Rebels

Last week We published a comparison of the
valuation of property in eight Of the Southern
States according TO the recent census with that
of 1860, under the above caption, designed to
show what the rebellion had cost the Southern
people. The aggregate valuation in these
eight States for 1860 was So ,209, 935, $50, and
for 1870, 81, 455,7s2 SIS, showing deprecia-
ton of 81 ,654 i'll ,965 in ten years. But there
was one fact that we ought in justice to have
stated in our comments, and that is, that in the
valuations OF 1860 the valuation Of all their
slaves was included, naking for the eight
States named not less than $4,000, 900, 900.
That species of property was struck out of ex-
istence by the war, and was therefore not in
cluded in the valuation of 1870 Deduct this
amount Of So, 600, 100000 from the valuation
of 1860, and it will be only 81, POO, 935, 1880.
This will show that there has been an actual
increase in the value Of property at the South,
leaving out slaves. during the last decade, not
the war; And the South still
possess what was its slave property, every man
of whom is worth more than twice as much
now as when a slave How wonderful does this
fact prove the progress of our country to be.

The first message of Governor HENRY D.
COOKE to the Council and House of Delegates
OF the District of Columbia is now fully before
the people of this city and vicinity, and if We
do not greatly err, that paper has already done
much to win respect and confidence for the
new Territorial Government of this District
The Governor. very evidently. has not thought
lessly entered upon the duties of his high Office.
His message is marked in every part of it with
conscientious and thoughtful care for the wei.
fare and prosperity of the metropolis and its
outlying territory. Every important interest
of the people seems to have received proper
share of his attention, and his brief suggestions
in relation to them are in keeping with his
character, both for good sense, and for his
benevolent and patriotic spirit. We should
like to copy the whole of this important paper
into our columns, but our limits do not per.
NIT. That part Of the Governors message
which relates to public schools, as we'll as the
conclusion, being Of national Importance and
interest, may be found in another column.

Nearly every day brings news of great sue
cesses achieved by the government troops, to-
gether with promises Of the speedy suppress
sion of the instruction. 1t is difficult to as.
certain the accuracy Of these dispatches, and
through former experience we have been eau
toned against placing implicit trust in the
veracity Of either party. Yet, from present
appearances, we should conclude that the in
surrection is near its collapse, owing, howe yer,
to the absence of able military leaders on the
side of the Commune, rather than to the great
generalship Of the commanders Of the govern.
msnt troops, to the Generalization, the dissen-
sions, the general distrust, and the lack Of
discipline among the Reds rather than to the
energy of the Versailles government. The
significant fact that the provinces have re-
manned quiet, instead Of echoipg and following
the action of the Commune, strengthens this
belief. We are far from expecting. however,
that the mere suppression of the instruction
by military force will be succeeded by more
than an outside restoration of order, and it
would be vain to dream of On era Of peace and
republican prosperity. The elements which
have invested this last outbreak are no acct
dental, no temporary ones. Many Of the most
difficult questions are involved whose solution
pushes the minds Of the 6rst social philoso-
piers and national economists of the age. The
conflict between wealth and poverty, between
capital and labor, church and state, and others
Of equal Importance are at the bottom of it,
besides distrust Of the honesty Of the govern

1t is easy to imagine the CONSERVATION and
indignation Of the Senate about the publica-
tion. of the treaty with Great Britain in the
columns of the New York Tribune, in spite Of
the extraordinary precautionary measures to
keep it secret. We do not think, however,
that the wrath of that august body will be
shared in by any one except those organs of
the press. which. like the World, are prompted
by mere envy and jealousy, and re-enact the
old, yet always new and true story of the fox
and the grapes. 1t is pretty safe to assume that
on Thursday morning of last week the whole
reading public felt highly gratifed, and will
not feel less gratfed if the commission ap-
pointed to investigate the case should fail in it's
exertiOns to ferret out the traitor A natural
curiosity is satisfied, and there is besides
always some pleasure in seeing something &C
complished so nicely and perfectly as this little
piece of work has been done. Indeed, it seems
impossible in our days to conceal any matter of
general interest from that argus eyed giant,
the press. Even the discussions and quarrels
of the reverend fathers in the Ecumencal
Council leaked out and served to amuse the
irreverent multitude. how much less can we
wonder that the discussions of the Senate
always become known to the great annoyance
of the honorable members.
Does this not teach lesson? Is it advisable
to attempt the enforcement of rules that can
no longer be carried out? We do not see that
the dignity of the Senate would suffer from
publicity of its executive sessions any more
than that of its legislative transactions. Why
not concede what you can no longer prevent :
There is, besides, feeling in sovereign people
that revolts at the idea of being excluded from
any branch of the deliberations Of heir repre-
sentatives. Through their organs, the press,
they want to make their voices heard while i'm
portant transactions are yet in progress, in
stead of being informed only when they are
concluded. Certain it is, that in this instance,
many of the most law abiding and quiet people
will not only unite in wishing lucky escape
| to the perpetrator of the crime, but even in
wishing the same success In future similar en-
terprises.

There was time when the Democratic party
possessed some principle but this was long
years ago-in the days of JEFFERSON and MADr-
SON, and MUNRoE and JACKSON. Then they
were in favor of tariff for protection, of q
republican form of government of honesty and
economy in its management of the nation, of
the MUNRoE doctrine, of enforcing the laws even
against nulli6ers, and of all measures designed
to advance the prosperity and protect the honor
Of the country.
Now, their whole capital in trade consists in
blind, unceasing, and Incorporate opposition
to everything they once favored, and especially
to every measure the Republican party sus-
tains. They went into rebellion in 1861 to
destroy the Union because the Republican
party sustained it. Since their defeat, they
have opposed every measure originated by the
Republican party to heal the wounds they had
inflicted upon the Union. They have opposed
the reconstruction of every one Of the rebel
States to the bitter end. They opposed each of
the amendments to the Constitution, and all the
acts of Congress for granting civil rights to all
the people. They opposed every measure de-
signed to protect their rights. They are es.
pecially opposed to colored suffrage. They
are opposed to paying the public debt created
to put down their rebellion. They are opposed
to all measures for the protection of American
industry, and to secure competent wages to
American labor. ls
In brief, they are opposed to the Government,
and are the enemies Of the people, that they
may the more surely and effectually oppose the
Republican party. No matter how wise. and
necessary, and benefcent q measure may be,
its support by the Republican party 10 sure to
secure their opposition. They have no higher
and better principle of action than this bitter
opposition to all that the Republican party
fsvors., And yet they claim to be competent to
govern this great countryi
