Having to take down a lot of old fence this
spring, and pull up the posts, which were
set deep into the ground, made use of an
device for taking cut the posts without the
tedious la hor Of digging them out, which
seemed 50 entirely new to my worKmen and
neigbbors that | will describe it here, hop
ing i { may save hard labor for some Of my
readers, enough to ray them for their trou-
bic of reading these articles | took bit OF
plank about long the posts were high,
or little less, and setting it so that the top
inclined toward the post, passed chain
around the post at the ground, then up
over the plank to tho OK yoke; then start up
the train and the chain lifts the post straight
up and out Of ground. 40 digging around
is needed, and a man and boy with yoke Of
oxen, or a good horse, can take them out-a
simple way, so very simple that should not
hive thought to mention 1t if it had not
seemed to astonish my friends so much.

BEErs.-The culture of the beet is said to be
worth more to a country fertilizer than
the product directly from the treatment Of
the root, the waste pulp proving more valu-
able than the sugar 1t is fed to harmed
cattle in large quantities. 1t is stated that in
France, where the business has grown to
enormous dimensions, the increase in cattle
on account of the beet pulp is wonderful.
In the district Of country surrounding the
city Of Vaenciennes, where, before the pro
duction of beet sugar, seven hundred oxen
were the total amount, eleven thousand five
hundread were the total amount raised last
Y ar. But this is not all. This enormous
increase of stock has so much advanced the
fertility of the land that one hundred and
ninety thousand bushels more wheat are
raised in the sam district per annum than
were ever raised in previous years.

SUccEss.-There Is nothing SO ablect as
the worship ofmere success, unless, indeed
it be the worship of mere wealth. There
is nothing lower than to admire and fla
ter man because he has got on, because
he has carried his point, because he has
come to be talked about, and to think
scorn of others whose merits and efforts
may have been equal to his, or very likely
much greater, but whose merits and efforts
have, from some cause or other, not been
so lucky as his gaining the object at which
they aimed.

GKAssING TERRACE OR BANK.-To use the
most improved method for covering bank
of earth with grass, there is just one salts,
factory way, if time and uniformity of the
surface are important. This is to cover il
with sods, taken from a road side or from an
old pasture field. A heavy seeding of whire
clover and red-top will make a good finish
where the soil does not wash and gully away
but alone they are hardly reliable for ter
race work. Upon very steep surfaces the
turf may be held in place by means of wooden
pins driven through it into the bank. Pieces
Of lath, a foot long, answer the purpose very
well.

EATING TOO FAST.

Eating too fast generally involves eat
ing too much-morc than needed for
the support and nutrition OF the body
and the reason for this is, that the
organs OF taste, which are our guide in
this matter, are not allowed sufficient
voice; they are not allowed time to
take cognizance of the presence of food
ere It IL pushed past them into the re-
cesses Of the stomach. They do not,
therefore, have an opportunity to rep
resent the real needs of the system, and
hence allow the crowding of the stom-
ach. hold that thirty minutes should
be spent at each meal, and spent, too,
in chewing the food a good portion Of
the time, and not in continual putting
in and swallowing, but in pleasant chat
and laugh, instead of the continuance
of the intense nervous pressure of the
Office or library. If you lay out to
spend thirty minutes in this way. at
your meals, you may rest assured
you will not eat too much, :and
what you do eat will be in the best
condition for appropriation TO the needs
of your system. You will be healthier
in body, happier in mind and more
vigorous of brain-for there are few
things that so clog the brain as u meal
of half-eaten food put into the stom-
ach.-Dr. u. II. Jackson.

road to ruin" He invited him to his
table, and by gentle, affable manner,
sought to give him good subjects for
thought or hints for conduct. A vice
thus Hospitality enforced was very inn
prcssive. He would draw ont the young
man in conversation and learn what
studies he was most proficient in, which
were most essential to his success and

THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY
Ne is Serenaded by His NeighbOrs without
Distinction of Party-His Speech.

MoRRIsToWN, N. J., July 15.-The
neighbors of Governor Randolph,
without distinction of party, serenaded
him last evening, when he responded
as follows al have every reason to be
grateful when my public acts seem to
have the hearty appreciation of neigh
bors and friends, native and foreign,
Republicans and Democrats Ss to pO-
lities, Protestants and Catholics as to
religion. The trnth Is recent events
have clearly demonstrated that
whatever differences we may have
as to our political opinion or re.
ligious faith or whatever acci-
dent birth may have made Us
native or foreign, we are ali, if we
are as we should be, intensely Ameri-
can; proud of the title and Jealous of
any act by any people that may serve
to tarnish the honor or strike at the
privileges of our common country
men. AS Jerseymen. with great his
tOric associations and memories, we
should be recreanJ to ali that our
fathers cOntended for, did we not
attempt at any cost to transmit our
rights and privileges untainted and
unimpaired. During the recent
troubles complete military prepa-
ration was made to promptly and
efficiently sustain the civil power in
case of need, and whilst military power
would have certainly been exercised it
have protected at any cost the rights
OF the humblest citizen. Let me say
to you that know me best that my
greatest satisfaction tonight is found
in the fact that no serious use of the
military force was found necessary, so
great was the noble fOrbearance,
patience ndChristian toleration of our
people, of all religious and political
creeds. Military force was, on that
occasion, as trust it ever may be, in
full subOrdinatiOn to the civil power,
assisting, not controlling it--sustain-
ing liberty by upholding law.

SMITH.
A Senator by that Name Is COmpIlmented
BY the Radicals Rather Suspicious.

CONCORD, n. H., July 15.-In the
Senate this morning Senator Smith,
from the Tenth district, rose to explain
his position in relation to the charges
preferred against him. He denied in
general any duplicity of action or vic.
lstion Of the pledge given, or il any
had been given, and r. 3ted in the be-
lief that he should go down to his
grave in the full frUitiOn of an un-
blemished life. AS to the report that
his son was to have a tWenty-fiv
hundred dollar clerkship ss a COM
pensatiOn for his position in the
Senate, he knew nothing about it. No
bribe had been offered him by the Re
publicans and Others.
Senator Jones regretted that an eX-
PLANTATION had been put of until the
closing hours of the session. He knew,
from his own personal knowledge,
that Senator Smith had violated his
assurances, and others knew it; and
above all Others, God knew it. He
hoped that the Senator might rest in
peace, but intimated that he must be
possessed Of compensation con-
science.
Senator Cram asked if the Senator
from the Tenth district denied, or in
any way questioned, his publishC
statement OF conversation held with
him (Smith)?
Senator Smith replied that he did
not arrive in the city on the morning
in question until $3.50, and they could
not have had much time for talk, es
they soon came 10 the Senate Cham
Der.
1t was expected that Senator Smith
would very strongly vindicate his pO-
sition, and great curiosity prevaile I,
but it fell far short OF the meetings.

sine die.

RumfOrd Hall this morning and

ism and legislative action, in which

THAT HEAVY CHARGE,
The Civil Service Bill Commission on the
Charge ofFIfty Dollars per Day.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The Tribune
OF to-day says: A member OF the Civil
Service Commission suggests that our
Washington dispatch stating that four
members of the Commission drew five
hundred dollars each, which is at the
rate of fifty dollars per day, is calcu-
lated TO produce an erroneous impres-
sion. The facts Gre these: Congress
appropriated ten thousand dollars to
defray the expenses OF the Commits
sion. -Four commissioners were So
lected from private life and three from
the Departments ut Washington. For
compensation of the former the Presi-
dent designated the sum of two thou
sand dollars for each as a suitable re
muneratiOn for their services and eX-
penseS in framing a reformed civil
service system, No mileage or incl
dental expense are paid TO the Com
missiOners, but they are at liberty to
draw two thousand dollars each when
ever they please, rs the money is sub
iect TO their order. Two Commission
er5 live a thousand miles away from
Washington. They have already con-
sumed about three weeks on prelimi-
udLH hOIAE AAANANAAAb NaO iSOhN
in going to Washington and returning
home during the recess. Until October
each of the four Commissioners will
devote his spare time TO study on
the subject OF civil service in all its
bearings. The Commissioners would
have remained longer in service but
for the constitutional questions which
arose, and which they placed before
the Pre- Iident with the II quest that he
shall submit them to the Attorney
General for his decision. Under these
circumstances tits hardly just TO charge
the Commissioners with having drawn
too large an instslment OF their COM
peDsation. The mileage Of COngr s.
men travelled by some Of the Commis-
siOners would amount to more than
the sum drawn, but IL they can devise
a thorough and radical civil service re-
form, no one will complain about
their compensation.
