OH TIME ADYICE-

The Hartford COTdRt publishes letter
of advice to the people of Connecticut
which was written in the year 1856 by Noah
Webster, Jr., and which, regarded in pres
ent lights, is pretty amusing. Speaking of
the then prevalent hard times, Mr.. Webster
tells the people they alone are to blame for
them; they are too eXtravagant; the expenses
annually incurred IN the State are not less
than f329 ,S33, there 1rGS time when the
people Were economical; in 1857, when their
people went to war with the Pequots, their
troops were but ninety men: Wethersfield
was ordered 10 furnish hog for this army,
Windsor a ram goat, and Hartford an hogs
head of beer and four or five gallons Of
strong water-as rum was first called in the
State records. Things had become worse,
however, in 17SG; 10000 were paid for
rum alone throughout Connecticut, ofWhich
in Mr.. Wchster'S opinion, ninety-nine hun
dredthS We're useless expenditure. Look
at me-" says he; Il allow my family but two
gallons of rum year | drink
cider and beer Of my own manufacture, and
my wife makes excellent beer | assure
you. Then he goes on to say how
aStOnished he is at the fact that "nGt a
mechanic or laborer goes to work for
merchant but he carries home bottle of
rum. Not load of wood comes to town
but gallon bottle is tied to the cart stake
to be filed with rum. Scarcely woman
comes tUtown with tow cloth but she has
a wooden gallon bottle in one side Of her
saddle bags to fill with rum" He would
advise each family to get two gallons ofrum
a year, " have two or three frolics of innnO-
cent mirth," keep little spirit for medicine,
n h..p nd old Of
making. He advises them moreover never |
to go to law on any account. DO" says |
he complacently, "as have always done, |
and lawyers fees viii be no trouble at ALL |
for, he says, he bought nothing that he
could not pay cash for, and 80 when he and |
his wife saw sherifis and duns knocking at |
their neighbours doors they laughed at their
neighbOr's folly. In short, he berates his |
fellow-citizenS in round terms, and holds |
himself up before them as a model man !

a Gravy but harmless I,dix,avu,.

\ man somewhat advanced i'll years and
evidently good deal broken in spirit mind
and worldly possessions, was yesterday ar
rested by some men in the country. and
brought into the city to be dealt with
by the representatives of the law as a sus-
piciOus OF crazy creature, who, they thought,
ought not to be at large. The name of the
unfortunate man is Hoover. and it seems
that his greatest weakness has reference to
the imaginary existence somewhere down
the river, near the city. OF gold mines of
fabulous richness and almost limitlesS ex-
tent. On some subjects ne seems perfectly
sane, and there is nothing in his conduct or
appearance to denote that lac is wild or
dangerous man. His dream of gold,
yellow gold" seems TO be his besetting
weakness and misfortune. Hoover was
taken before Justice Wilkinson, who made
the necessary inquiry into his condition. and
finding that he was not ut all violent, nor
crazy enough to warrant his being held in
custody, ordered his release. The last wesaw
of the benighted gold dreamer, he was glibly

TRADING WITH AN EAST TENNEs-
kEEAE

Soon after Burnside reached Knoxville,
Tenn, says the AITy Journal, in the fall of
1883, and it became evident that the
Ninth Corps were to be locked in by Long
street, there was some anxiety among the
troops as TO the matter Of ratiOns, and for
aging parties were not very scrupulOus re-
garding the rights Of the inhabitants In
that vicinity. Under the doctrine of mill
taIy necessity, chickens, pigs, calves. and
the like, became scarce.
On one occasion Sergeant B. of the
Second Michigan Infantry was '"out," or,
as he expressed it, "only looking for some
thing" and, nearing a cabin, discovered
a smoke-house, built as they all were, Of
cobble stone walls. Proceeding TO exam
inc, he was hailed by the owner, ''Saay,
what yer doin' thar" "Looking for some
thing" was the reply. Finding the en-
trance fastened, the Sergeant picked up a
rail and commenced battering the wall. TO
get at the inside. Thar hain't nOthin' in
thar" We'll, I've got plenty of time to
look" says B., aud another blow brought
down part of the side, exposing a fine ham
hanging from the roof. IL had forgot that
was thar" said the owner. "Well. then,
YOU won't miss it, But yer oughter to
pay me for ii. That Yer ham is wuth a
shillin' a pound TO me-" The Sergeant
stood a moment in doubt whether to plead
military necessity or pay the money down,
and then said Weigh it, and Ill take it
at your price" Going TO the cabin pair
of steelyards were brought out, and the
ham. which had been smoked with the foot
on, weighed thirty-two pounds. Taking out
his knife, and cutting Off the foot, and
weighing it carefully, the Sergeant says:
IN buy the ham at your price, shilling
pound, and pay you in ham at my price; il
is worth dollar a pound to me. Your
piece weighs little over four pounds; you
can owe me the change" and, leaving the
Tennesseean with the piece in his hand,
wondering if that was fair trade or swim
die, Sergeant B and the ham left for
camp at double-quick. l.7oi1 syiE -ss 81.

Applications for Divorce.

If the applications for divorce now on
file and still being made in the Law and
Criminal Courts may be taken as evidence
Of the fact, this community is Just now at
flicted with Il mania on that subject more
than ordinarily virulent and extensive.
Time was when We would not hear Of one
such case in six weeks and now We have
six such cases in a single day-the papers
in just that many divorce eases having been
yesterday issued and served upon the par
ties Immediately concerned. Unable to ac-
count for this deplorable difference between
the present and the past of marital cOnstan-
cy, or to say TO what particular eause the
rapid increase Of such applications is at
tributable. We hope TO see the court re-
cords show an early decrease, if not an ell
tire cessation of these mournful petitions
for legal interference in relations sacred
enough to be beyond the reach of human
courts. Regard for the feelings and social
relations of the parties interested in these
applications for divorce, induces us to re-
frain from any public mention of their
names.

Bradlaugh, the leader of the ENGLISH

President Of the British Republic in 1870
He states that he is only afraid the crisis
viii come TOO sOOn-that he is stron0
enough to pull down the monarchy, but moi
strong enough to erect on IFS ruins a repub-
lie. According TO Brsdlaugh. there are two
great movements of which he is the head
one is the Republican movement, the other
the free-thOught, secular OF in1idel move
ment. Tie iniidels are not all Republicans.
however There are now in Great Britain
slxty-eight avowed Republican clubs, with
an aggregate membership of 10000 men,
and 1t is estimated that there are 5000 ar
dent Republicans in the kingdom, outside
OF the intidel Republicans. There is M
central organization to govern these assOci-
atoms, but Bradlaugh seems 10 be held as
the leader. The Republican strength is
made up Of artisans mainly. and almost
wholly in towns, as nothing can be done
with the agricultural class Bradlaugh.
however, asserts that the farmers will make
no trouble when the revolution comes. lie
hopes that the revolution may not come I'M
til 1876, but says it may be precipitated at
any mOment-by the death Of the Queen.
for instance, or by her being officially de-
eiared incapable of longer exercising her
duties by mental alteration. The Republi-
cans viii not permit regency: they will

princes 10 rule them. The republic must
be proclaimed. The revolution need not BE-
a violent one Parliament is an-pOwerftI.
What one Parliament has done another
may undo. The reigning family holds the
throne, not by what is called ''livine right y
but by virtue of an act of Parliament. Par
lament may repeal this act, and the repub-
lie be SET up peaceably; but should it not,
it viii BE- attained "by blOOdshed."
Bradlaugh proposes to establish his repub-
lie on an Infdel basis, having no written
Constitution; there is positively to be no
such thing as Divine sanctions of law; the
idea Of any authority higher than man
himself, which may give laws 10 man is to
be abrOgated; whatever laws are framed are
to rest solely on the authority of the majority
for the time being, and not on any idea that
Supreme Being has ordained certain priIl-
ciples of action with which these laws are
in harmony. Education is to be wholly Sc
cular, divorced from all idea of duty to God.
Further, Bradlaugh hints that agrarianism
the division of the land amOngthe people
will be an indispensable feature Of the rev.
olutionaTy programme.

tllan lnc AOTh Ol supply anu restoration
can be made to do its effect, as is the case
in growing wheat after corn. If there is
grass upon the ground, it should be turned
under in the succulent state, SO as to de-
compose and decay before or by time the
wheat is seeded. The best time for fallow-
ing land, SO as to produce these conditions,
is the month Of August. If dry grass is
turned under the surface il does not decay
i'll time to prevent the formation of cavities
in the soil, into which the roots of the plant
penetrate and find no nourishment. When
much Succulent matter is turned under the
surface, lime should be used upon the SOIL
Mr.. Hughes asked Mr.. Winston, if fallOw-
ing very early with much succulent matter
upon the land would not produce too much
acid and sour the soil?
Mr. Winston replied, that he thought soil
contained inherently a natural correction of
acids, but he had proposed the use Of lime
for this purpose. Soil has been discovered
TO be valuable for medicinal purposes. espe-
cially for wounds, and is now used in hos
pitfalls. -s
Mr. J. X. Winston said, the best field he
had for strength and depth of soil was less
productive Of wheat than any other he had
on his farm. 1t was level and not at all I'M
channels for drainage. He thinks blowing
land so as to bed the soil, and thus affording
means for under drainage, probably the best
preparation for wheat upon level surface.
A rolling surface is best for wheat, because
it furnishes free and perfect drainage.
Mr. James Small said he had experimental
with every kind of preparation for seeding
wheat. He prefers, after the experimental
tests made by him, narrowing the ground.
seeding the wheat upon the narrowed sur
face, and blowing it into the soil with one
horse plows Leaving the soil out of the
question, he considers this to be the best
preparation. One great advantage Of this
mode of preparation, is that every grain
lies where it falls. On an unlevel surface, |
the grain moves very often from its proper
place, and thus produces too much bunch |
ing of the plants In places, while other
places are left without a Suffi-
