Carts vs.. Wagons.

CARTS are rarely seen on American
farms, and the neglect with which these
useful vehicles are treated is far from in
dicating true economy. Carts have
many advantages over wagons in the ord
mary work of farm. They are cheaper,
two good carts costing less than one
wagon and two horses working in carts
will do the work of three in wagons. The
load being so much nearer to the draft,
the horse draws it more easily; while, be-
ing undisturbed by the neighborhood of
another horse-the efforts of which are
sometimes hindrance instead of help to
his fellow, more especially in a badly
mated team-his undivided at entjon is
gwen to his work, and the whole useful
effect of his exertions is secured. Carts
are more easily loaded than wagons. If
properly constructed, the body of the cart
is nearer the ground than that of wagon;
and in loading all heavy material, such as
manure, stone, earth, lime, etc., the exer-
ton OF the laborer is confined mainly to
the arms; while had he to lift the material
one foot higher, the action of the muscles
OF almost the whole body would be requir-
ed. They are more easily unloaded. The
dumping of a cart-load of any material
used on farm is almost instantaneous,
while the unloading of wagon is nearly
as laborious as the loading, and the time
occupied is a serious tax. A load of ton
can be put on cart, and one horse will
draw it with ease. The line Of draft is
from below upward, which enables the
horse to use the lifting power of his fore
legs. He will back it with equal ease, be-
cause the weight of his body is thrown
into the hreeching, adding to the pushing
power of his limbs; while he will turn
his load in space equal to that which he
and the cart occupy on the ground. This
is great advantage in the hay or harvest
field, and saves much travelling in turning
round.
Another great benefit from the use of
carts is that a continuous loading of hay
or grain can go on in the field, one cart
being loaded while another is being un-
loaded thus keeping the field force al
ways occupied, with no increase in the
number of horses used. With suitable
rack, twelve hundred pounds of loose hay
may be loaded on cart.
The style of cart is matter for consid-
Grafton. BY having the axle of iron, and
bent the body of the cart may be brought
| down as near to the ground as NAV be de-
! sired; the same arrangement will permit
the use of larger wheels. The center of
| gravity of the load is thus brought consid-
erably below the line of draft, making the
draft easier, and the balance of the load
much more readily secured. The body of
the cart may be built up of narrow stats,
put six inches apart, which will tighten ii
considerably. This may be used when
manure or any coarse loads are to be

born of books; people and not things are
his specislty, He is generally person OF
middle age, for his knowledge is OF kind
which is gained only by time and expert
ence: he has Travelled much; indeed, he
is travelling perpetually. The Wandering
Jew of the legend is not more uneasy
spirit. You will find him-we are speak
ing of the American type-at Baden Ba-
den in the height of the season and after
the season is over; he is smoking chi
boaue in Constantinople; he is stopping
temporarily at the best hotel In London;
he is at every well known watering-plao
sin the world; he is on all the trains and
steamboats, going everywhere, and never
misses being a passenger In every old stage
coach that is numbering along some out
OF. .theway road. If chance takes you to
an unheard of, one-horse hotel in the lone
liest part of New England or in the
Southern States, you will find the man
who knows every body sitting on the porch
waiting fol you as if by appointment. He
is the first person that salutes you on your
arrival at Yokohama. If you were cast,
like Robinson Crusoe, on an uninhabited
island, you would discover his footprints
on the beach before you had time to dine
upon the toothsome varieties of mollusks
hich always throw themselves providen-
TALLY and with remarkable precision at
the feet of shipwrecked mariners.
As general thing ne is pleasant per-
son to meet. His varied knowledge of all
your friends and their antecedents render
him especially agreeable if you encounter
him in a foreign land. To say he is like a
letter from home is to describe him feebly.
He is like a whole postoff1ce of letters.
By virtue of his familiarity with persons
and affairs connected with your own
sphere, he becomes in few minutes an
old old friend of twenty years standing.
But though he is communicative to the
last degree, and seemingly as open as day
light, a certain sort of mystery invariably
attaches itself to him. 1t is not clear how
he has had the time and opportunity to
know such multitude OF people. A man
in mercantile or professional life is neces-
sarily brought in contact with numerous
persons; but, after all, he moves in a mar
row circle; he is constantly meeting the
same or the same kind of man. He Goes
not get out of his own SCI. Like the So
ciety of small town, the society CT the
great world is divided into cliques, innu-
merable circles revolving around each
other, but seldom or never touching. Now
the man that knows everybody does not
appear to be under the same limitations
ss other folk. He has managed somehow
to swing round many circles, counting his
acquaintsnces in every grade of life, from
the humblest to the highest. Our friend
is not 10 be confoUnded for an instant with
the social bore who thrusts himself in
everywhere, and is only tolerated. The
man who knows everybody is welcome
And, indeed, he deserves to be cherished.
He is proof that human nature is better
than we think it is. He either sees it with
clearer eyes than other men, Or else he
brings to the study heart full of Chris
tian charity. He knows everybody and is
not isgusted.-Eoery Saturday.

An AnecdOte of Eyeretts

In his speech at the Amherst semi CEN
tennial commencement, Professor Park
said: haYe recalled this afternoon a
scene which occurred thirty-six years ago,
on the day preceding commencement
Edward Everett then delivered the ora
ton. In the midst of the Grafton he ut
tered one sentence which called forth
bursts of applause. will read that sen
tence: Before the admiring student of
nature has realized all the wonders of the
world, leG him sit down and know the uni
verse in which he lives, by examining the
races of animals disporting themselves in
their representative ocean-a drop of wa
ter
aAfter that sentence, it appeared as if
all Amherst College would not cease to
clap their hands and stamp their feet and
yet you seem to be unmoved by the recital.
Now the question comes, what is the rea-
son? The reason is found IN the studied
artlessness of Edward Everett.
"While he was on the point of speak.
ing the words, a drop of water he turn
ed carelessly and saw glass of water on
the table. He put his finger in the glass
and drop of water was suspended there
from. / have it on the best authority, that
six or seven weeks b before that Grafton was
delivered, Everett wrote letter 10 friend
in Boston, asking him whether so bold 8
gesture would be proper"

The Man Who Knows Everybody.

EVERY one, we presume. knows man
who knows everybody. By affinity, if not
by blood, he is own brother to the man
who knows everything; but he is vastly
more entertaining and companionable fel-
low; he is pound to be clever and agreea-
BILE, and, above all things, sympathetic, or
he would not know everybody. To know
many people argues the possession of sew
eral excellent qualities, such as tact, amia-
bility, unselfshness, magnetism. A man
may have these, to be sure, and yet not
know everybody. To do that he must
have sort OF genius, genius for socia-
bility. This is not perhaps lofty gilt,
and we should say not rare one, but
under most circumstances it is pleasant
gift.
The man who knows everybody differs
in one respect from the man who knows
everything; he is not dispenser of what
goes under the head of useful information ;
he is not eternally setting his fellow-man
right in the matter of statistics, history,
geography and philology. He is not nee.
essarily well-read man; his gossip is not

The Progress Of the Negro.
No candid person in the South will deny

No candid person in the South will deny
that the general experience of the negro
since emancipation has been progress;
that in nearly every respect of his life he
exhibits some Improvement from that
date. Southern men are not very ready to
advertise this to the world; they would
probably confess it with reluctance to a
Northern commission of inquiry but in
private conversations among themselves,
where no pride of controversy interposes,
they freely admit it and wonder at it The
negro moves. He is showing the greatest
knowledge and education; attested by the
fact, for which examination is challenged,
that in the free schools of the South,
where ne has equal admission, there are
more black children than white ones in
proportion to the population of each race
in the given community. So far from be-
coming the idle vagabond that the pessi-
mist theorizers would have him after
emancipation, he is exemplarily industri-
Gus; attested by the fact that to day the
negro represents nearly all the labor of
the South and admitting this test, that of
persons in equal condition of poverty ami
necet sity of WORK, there are far more poor
whites than negroes who are idle in the
South. Of the vices that were to asssil
and destroy the negro in his new estate
of freedom, there are no proofs
quite the contrary. The terrible vice
Of intemperance, which has been
the usual scourge of weak races, and
the almost unfailing incident of pre-
cocious civilization, is comparatively un-
known among the Southern freedmen. So
far from being improvident, the wonder is
how the negro economies; gets so many
good clothes and real comforts out of his
very scanty wages. AS voter he has
shown discretion and independence that
have nonplussed the wisest of our politi.
clans. There were white wiseacres who
some time ago, supposed the negro's vote
might be procured by the merest solicita
ton, mere wink from his employer; and
common joke in the South on the
Fifteenth Amendment was that the dis
franchised white man might buy some
cheap old negro to do his voting for him
Never was such disappointment. Tht
| spectacle has not been uncommon in the
South of q negro who paid Difference tt
the white man scarcely less than he ha(
shown in the days of slavery, who p ssi
bly, yet said "Mas'r," who did his worl
in all humility and with all subjection, y e
going openly to the polls and casting hi!
vote there against the party Of his EN-
ployer. Such an instance of selfrespec
and moral courage is to be admired ever
by those against whom it acts" The Ro
nance Of the Negro" IN October GALAXY

Spelling Horses Feet.

1t is almost impossible to get horses
shod without having the frogs cut away
All veterinary surgeons, al horsemen, all
leading blacksmiths, agree that the frog
should not be pared one particle-noteven
trimmed. No matter how plisble and soft
the frog is, cut it away imooth on all
sides, snd in two or three days it will be
dry and hard as a chip. You might as
well cut off all the leaves of trees, and ex-
pect them to flourish, as to pare away the
frog and have healthy foot. The rough,
spongy part of the frog is to the foot what
leaves are to the tree-the lungs.
Never have red-hot shoe put upon:the
foot to burn it level. If you can find a
blacksmith that is mechanic enough to
level the foot without red-hot iron, en-
ploy him The burning process deadens
the hooi and tends to contract it. If you
do not think so, try the red hot poker on
your finger nsil, and see if it will not af-
feet the growth Of that.
There are many important points in
shoeing horses, but these two are of more
importance than all the rest, level to the
apprehension of men not skilled in horses,
and the two most disregarded.-Mirro'

An improved Franklin, or open crate stove,
with revertible draft and large heating sur
face, combining the advantages of an open
fireplace with an air tight stove, atfording
free ventilation, and adapted to burn wood,
and soft and hard coal, is the best device yet
invented for heating rooms with economy,
health and comfort. The arrangement for
burning the gases is perfect. The same prin-
ciple is applied to his Heating Furnaces.
