WHAT THE FAT CONTRIBUTOR" Knows
ABOUT FARMERs.-Now that Winter is
approaching, it would, perhaps, be as
well to discontinue haying and turn
your attention to getting in your Fall
saw-logs. No farmer can consider his
Fall work complete until he has his
cellar we'll supplied with saw-logs.-
Seated around the blazing hearth, of a
Winters night, there is no fruit more
delicious.
A correspondent asks us what we
think of late blowing. Flowing should
not be continued later than ten or eley-
en- o'clock at night. 1t gets horses in
the habit of staying out late and un.
duly exposes the pillow We've known
plows to acquire stringhalt and inflam.
matory rheumatism from late blowing.
Don't do it.
10 another correspondent who wants
us to suggest good drain on a farm
we would say heavy mortgage at ten
per cent will drain it about as rapidly
as anything we know of.
When you make cider select nothing
but the soundest turnips, chopping them
into sled lengths after grading them.
In boiling your cider use plenty of ice
and when boiled hang it up in the sun
to dry. Ell
A pick-axe should never be used in
picking apples. 1t has a tendency to
break down the vines and damage the
hive.
In sowing your Winter apple-iack a
norse-rake will be found preferable to a
step-ladder. Step-ladders are liable to
reeze up, and are hardly palatable un-
ess boiled with sugar.
Eggs should be corded up and fast
med with spikes or ropes.--Cin. Com.

TRUE PATRIOTISM APPRECIATED.
Speaking of the case Of Commission
er Wilson, of the Land Office, an ex
change says: !.
The eloquent appeals Of the Commls
sioner of the General Land Office, Dy
some ill-natured writer's termed "Iite
Barnacle," recalls an incident OF the
warm contest for Governor of Missis
sippi between jeff. Davis, the secession
candidate, and Henry S. Foote, the
Union candidate.
"Fellow-citizens," said Davis, II gave
my boyhood to the study Of arms and
the art of war (Which always create
patriotic desires) at the United States
Military Academy, at West Point"
"Goodp shouted an old backwoods-
man under a slouched hat, and whose
butternut breeches hung to him by one
suspender.
ayes, gentlemen, when young man
I was sent upon the western frontier,
where l spent several years, as lieu
tenant, guarding the people of Arkan-
sas against the fierce Seminoles, Cher
okees and Creeks, who had been driven
from Florida, Alabama and Georgia, at
the point of the bayonet, and left upon
the western prairies"
"Hoorayw yelled old Butternut.
81 made several trips among the Co.
manches and Lipans, to guard the peo-
Pile of Texas against the scalping-knife

"Bully boy!' Numbered old Butter
nut again.
Believing that I could be more use
full in civil life, resigned my commits
sion in the army and came to Missis-
sippi, and you elected me to Congress.
In that body | served you faithfully, al
ways looking to the rights of Missis-
sippi and guarding you against every
Federal aggression"
"Tiger-r-r!" roared old Butternut.
upon the first news that American
blood had been spilled upon Mexican
soil, | flew to Mississippi upon the
wings of the wind, raised a regiment,
marched to Mexico, and at the battle
of Buena Vista saved Taylor's army

GLORY" shouted Butternut.
':Since that time you have honored
me with seat in the United States
Senate, where have served you day
and night, through evil and good re-
port, agreeing to no infamous compro-
misses, and zealously maintaining the
rights of the South against abolition
aggression"
Three cheers for Davis! Hip! hip!

swung his hat in the air and danced

'utternut; "and did you raaly do all

Yes; and more too, my friend" /,
"Well, Scnnytur," said the old man,
s he grasped the hand of Davis tight

LUxEMBURG.-The little Duchy which
Prussia next proposes to appropriate
has an area of about | 200 miles, and
a population of nearly 100000 indust-
nous and prosperous people. 1t is gov
erned by the King of Holland, who is
Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and in this
latter capacity is member of the Ger
manic Confederation. Up to 1866 it
was occupied by a Prussian garrison.
and about that time Napoleon offered
to buy it from the King of Holland,
who was eager to accept the bargain.
russia, however, stepped in and for
babe the transaction, and for q while
there was the appearance of war be-
tween the two great nations for this
valuable little piece of territory. The
other Powers interviewed, and at the
conference of London in May, 1867, it
was agreed that France should with
draw her scheme of purchase, and that
PRUSSIA should remove her garrison.
that the Grand Duchy should be neu.
trallzed and remain under the rule of
the King of Holland, and that the for.
tlheations of the city of Luxembourg
should be dismantled. This programme
was carried out to the satisfaction of
all concerned. but the prostration of
France and the strength of Prussia
now enables King William to violate
the treaty and disregard the other ma
lions which were signatory to the COM
pact. They were nearly the same Az
in the treaty of Paris in 1856:
and the fact that they are both doubly
defied, by both Russia and Prussia, is
illustrative Of the security which these
two great and powerful countries feel
IN the strength of their armies. I

On the 9th of May, 1854, at a most
critical juncture for the Confederate
arms, General Lee met Gregg's Texas
brigade going into the battle of the
Wilderness. They greeted him with
most enthusiastic cheers as they hur'
ried on to the front, but were soon hor
rifed to find that their beloved General
was going with them into the thickest
of the fight. The men began to shout,
General Lee to the rear! General Lee
to the rearw A ragged veteran step
ped from the ranks and seized his reins,
and at last the whole brigade halted
and exclaimed with one voice, "We'll
not advance unless General Lee goes
back; but if he will not expose himself
we'll drive back the enemy" Thus APP
pealed to, Gen. Lee halted and gazed
after those brave Texans as they nobly
redeemed their promise, though at a
fearful cost.
On the 10th of May, when the Con-
federate line was broken at Spottsylva-
MIA Courthouse, Gen. Lee again offered
to lead the charge, this time placing
himself in front of Gordon's division of
Virginians and Georgians, and just by
the colors of the 49th Virginia regi-
ment. He uttered no word-he was
not the man for theatrical displays
but quietly took off his hat, as the reg
iment was forming, with the evident
purpose of leading the charge. A MUIR
muir ran down the line, and just then
the gallant Gordon spurred his horse
to his side, seized his bridle-rein, and
with deep anxiety, General
Lee, this is no place for you; do go to
he rear! These are Virginians and
5eorgians, sir,-men who have never
allied. And they will not now. Will
you, men? Is it necessary for General
Lee to lead this charger Loud cries
If "No! no! General Lee to the rear!
