The reason that the Grant
press denounces Greeley so
heartily is because a few years
since in speaking ,ofthe Repub-
lican press, he said, he could
not understand the small crea
lures whom God for some in>
scrutable reason permits to edit
country newspapers They
don't like the truth from Gree
ley. ........ .....
The newspapers belonging
to Grant have had much to say
of late in reference to the omis.
ton upon the part of the peo>
pie to publicly ratify the Lib.
eral nominations, The grand
outpourings of honest people
in New York Monday night,
considered in the light of a
starter, ought to afford tempo
rary satisfaction.
Those who wear Grants col.
lar, and assume to make light
of the Presidential prospects
of the 'old wood chopper Ho-
race Greeley, may find some
consolation in the fact that sew.
enteen Republican papers in
Illinois alone support Greeley
and Brown. Grants days in

bered!

AGRICULTURAL

pouLTRY FOR EGos AND MARKET. -
Tho best breed of fowls to rear for the
market, or as cgg-producers, depends
upon locality; as while in some places
ono variety is deemed the best, in 9TH
ers it would prove the reverse. Our
own opinion is that for market fowl,
the Brahmus and Cochins will, under
almost all circumstances, prove the most
desirable, they being the least liable to
disease, feathering up quickly, and can
be bred to weigh, at from four to six
months of age, eight to ten pounds.
Another good table fowl is the Dorling
(cock) crossed with the Brahma (henl.
The flesh of this cross is sweet and nu-
tritious, and acquires at an early age
the plumpness of the Dorking at matur-
ity. There are other breeds, however,
which are said to be desirable to raise
for the table. Many claim that the
French breed of fowls are of this num-
ber b;,t this we very much doubt, as
their flesh lacks that buttery, golden
color that attracts the eye of the cpl
cure. They may prove valuable as egg
producers, but they lack many good
qualities as table bird. Dorkings are
undoubtedly at the head of the list as
table birds, but of late years, have be-
come so subject to disease that we ques-
ton the feasibility of rearing them
proftably for market in our changeable
northern climate.
AS producers, the Hamburgs are
claimed to stand at the head of the list.
This claim we are prepared to dispute;
for, as winter layers, we find that the
Brahma, Cochin, Leghorn, Poland and
Houdan stand relatively in the position
here named. That the Hamburgs are
good egg-producers we admit; but that
they are any better than number OF
non-setting fowls, SO called, we deny
The richness and meatiness of their eggs
are not to be compared with those of the
Poland, Leghorn, Houdan, or Brahma
and their legs lack the size of those
named. All things considered we have
no hesitancy in saying that fol-. eggs we
should name the Polands, for the table
Dorkings, and for early marketable
chickens Brahmas and Cochins. People

Why the American Farming Pomila'
tion Diminishes.

DR.. Holland writes in the Jrehe num-
Der of SaSbner's Mchthlu: '.4
There is some reason for the general
disposition of American men and women
to shun agricultural pursuits which the
observers and philosophers have been
slow to find. We see young men push
ing everywhere into trade, into me-
ohanical pursuits, into the learned pro-
fessions, Unto insignificant clerkshiips,
into salaried positions of every sort that
will take them into towns and support
and hold them there. We find it i'm
possible to drive poor people from the
cities with the threat of starvation, or
to coax them with the promise OF better
pay and cheaper fare. There they stay,
and starve, and sicken, and sink. Young
women resort to the shops and the fac
tories rather than take service in farm
ers' houses where they are received as
members of the family and when they
marry, they seek an alliance, when prac-
ticabie. with mechanics and tradesmen
who live in villages and large towns.
The daughters of the farmer fly the
farm at the first opportunity. The
towns grow larger all the time, and, in
New England at least, the farms are
becoming wider and longer, the farming
population is diminished in numbers,
and, in some localities, degraded in
quality and character.
1t all comes to this, that isolated life
has very little significance to a social
being. The social life of the village
and the city has intense fascination to
the lonely dwellers on the farm, or to a
great multitude of them. Especially is
this the case with the young. The
youth of both sexes who have seen
nothing of the world have an over
whelming desire to meet life and to be
among the multitude. They feel their
life to be narrow in its opportunities and
its rewards, and the pulsations of the
great social heart that come to them in
rushing trains, and passing steamers
and daily newspapers, damp with the
news of hundred brows, thrill them
with longings for the places where the
rhythmic throb is felt and heard. They
are not to be blamed for this. 1t s the
most natural thing in the world. If al
of life were labor-if the great object o
life were the scraping together of a few
dollars, more or less-why, isolation
without diversion would be economy
and profit; but SO long as the object o
life is life, and the best and purest ant
happiest that can come of it, all need
less isolation is crime against the soul
in that it is @ surrender and sacrifice o
noble opportunities.

Executions Among the Jews.

The Hebrews had no executioner.
When man was guilty of homicide,
the execution devolved on the next of
kin, by the right of blcod-revenge in
other cases, criminals We're stoned by
the people, the witnesses setting the ex-
ample; and when the king or chief or
dered q person to be put to death, tho
Office was performed by the person t
whom the order was given, and this was
generally person whose consideration
in life bore some proportion to that of
the person to be slain. Thus Solomon
gave the commission to kill Joab, the
commander-in- chief to Benaiah, per-
son of so much distinction, as TO be him
self Immediately promoted to the COM
mand which the death of Joab left va
can't In fact, the office, even of a regu-
lar executioner, is not by any means dis
honorable in the East.
The post of chief executioner is, in
most Oriental courts, one of honor and
distinction. Thus, when there was no
regular executioner, it came to be con-
sidered a post of honor to put distin-
guished person to death; and, on the
other hand, the death itself was honora-
bic in proportion to the rank of the per-
sen by whom the blow was inflicted. 1t
was the greatest dishonor to perish by
the hands of woman or slave. We
see this feeling distinctly in the nara
tive where the two princes much prefer
to die by Gideon's own hand than that
of youth who had obtained no person
al distinction. AS to the hero commits
sienino his son TO Derform this Office. il
was, perhaps, partly to honor him with
the distinction of having slain two chief
enemies of Israel, as well as because the
rules of bleod-revenge made it necessary
that the execution of those who had
slain his own brethren should either be
performed by himself or a member Of
his own family. 1t seems very probable
from all that transpired, that Oreb and
Zeeb had slain the brethren of Gideon
after they had taken them captive, il
the same way that they were themselves
| slain.

viii ;iIc Present Civilization Continue

Is it probable that society will be con-
tinually advancing in refinement, know
ledge and virtue-and will present gov
ernment and cities, the arts and sciences,
literature and Christian culture remain
forever-if the earth remains in its pres
ent condition
These are questions that seek an
answer. But who has foreknowledge
enough to predict the probable future
of modern civilization!
If history repeats itself, which is gen.
orally admitted, there are terrible revo-
lutions in the distance. Great centres
of wealth, political power, commerce
and grandeur, are destined to disap-
pear. New foci of trade and riches will
rise into view. London, Paris, Rome,
Constantinople, Vienna, Berlin, Wash
ington, New York, and hundreds OF
other cities now in the full tide of in
huence and vigor, will have their old
age, their decay and their ultimate de-
struction, as Babylon, Nineveh, Persep-
oils, Athens, Susa, and multitudes OF
famous cities of antiquity almost lost
so that even the location of some OF
them have been objects of research by
travellers. Mighty empires and states
will yet appear-and new nations rise
into existence thousands OF years hence
to war as in ages past, to give way tC
others-and so on while human beings
continue on the globe. Thore Is no res
for nations.

Amusing Street Car Scene.

The Washington Star relates the fol-
lowing:
The passengers on one of the Riker's
street cars laughed some yesterday
morning at a scene between the conduc-
tor and well-dressed young man from
Georgetown. AS the car was passing down
the avenue, the young man at the time
standing on the platform taking it easy,
with one foot on trunk, he was ap-
preached by the conductor and his fare
demanded. He quietly passed over his
five cents
Conductor-I demand twenty five
cents for that trunk
Young Man, (hesitatingly)-Twenty-
five cents. Well, I think / will not
pay it.
C.-Then 1 shall put the trunk off
Y. M.-You had better not, or you
may be sorry for it.
Conductor pulls strap, stops car,
dumps trunk on the avenue, starts car,
and after going some two squares, ap-
proaches the young man, who was still
as calm as a summer morning, and in an
angry mood says: Now have put your
trunk off, what are going to do about it !?
Y. M. (coolly)-Well, don't propose
to do anything about it, it's no concern
of mine it wasn't my trunk.
G. (iercely)-Then why did you not
tell me so ?
Y. M.-Because you did not ask me,
and told you you'd be sorry for it.
@. (furiously)-Then go inside the
car.
Y. M.-Oh, no, you're good enough
company for me out here.
At this juncture a portly German
emerges from the car, and angrily says
"Mine Gott, you feller, where is mine
drunk Z"
Y. M.-My friend, l think that is
your trunk down on the avenue there
German-Who puts him off? / hafe
the monish to pay him. 1 will see aboud
dot.
The car was stopped, and shortly af-
terward the conductor was seen to come
sweating up with the trunk on his back

enjoy half so well as did the passen gers

A Story abant daniel Drew.

The " Editors Drawer" in the June
number of Hdrpers has this story:
Apropos of Mr.. Daniel Drew's con-
tract with Duncan, Sherman & Co to
deliyer five millions of dollars of Erie
stock during the year 1872 Mt So, We
have this anecdote of thet eminent spec
ulator
Not long since he mot a Methodist
clergyman in New Jersey, and having
rather fancy for him, asked him if he
wouldn't like to make little money.
The minister replied that he never
speculated nor gambled in stocks, not
believing it to be right; besides, he was
only worth some fifteen thousand dol
lars, and could not afford to peril it.
Mr.. Drew, after some further chat, said
he could suggest something that would
be perfectly legitimate, and proposed, if
the parson would act upon his sugges-
ton, to guarantee him against loss,
whilo the prospects for handsome
profit was quite promising. The ar
rangement was accordingly made.
Some weeks later the divine came over
to New York and called at Mr.. Drew's
office to ascertain the result.
"Well,' said Uncle Daniel, " the fact
is, that thing 1 told you about has bust
ed; but I promised to guarantee you
against loss, and will keep my prom
ise."
So, figuring up the amount invested,
with simple interest, Mr.. Drew handed
over check, and the pastor congratu
lated himself upon the result.
"But," said he-and here is where
Uncle Daniels joke comes in" but,
Mr.. Drew, teld one of my elders what
you had agreed to do with me, and he
went and bought little stock"
"Did he z" said Uncle Daniel. " Why
how sorry 1 am I'm Altered he has
lost some money"
"Yes," continued the good man, and
he told another of the trustees, and he
went and bought some."
"You don't tell me"
."Yes, Mr.. Drew; and the brethren
thought it was SO good of you to give
me pint that they all acent and bought
"Well, I'm so sorry
$50 am l."
"Well, they must have lost consider
able money-must have pretty mucl
cleaned em out. They oughtn't TOW
done it. Buyin' stocks you don't know
nothin' about is mighty risky business
You tell 'em that"
"But, Mr.. Drew, they're nearly ruin
ed"
"Shouldn't wonder; and Tn trul
; sorry"
The good parson returned to his tiocl
most of whom had already astertaine
the true condition of things. !Somebod
had "unloaded" to the country brethreI
Probably it was not Uncle Dan'l
