.RailnOad Freight Determinations.

The Houston Telegraph, looking after the
interests of that State, says: e. -
We-are reliably informed that the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas Railroad charges
for freight from ST. Louis to Preston 50 q
per hundred, but only 50 so for return
freight from Preston to st. Louis. OF course
this road does not travel the whole route,
but that is said to be the tariff upon the
whole route. This discrimination in favor
of return freight is said to be made because
the road wishes to cultivate a patronage for
the route and create business. They prefer
loaded ears at less rates than empty cars at
card rates. And they reason well. If by
reason of cheap freight the produce of
Texas can be taken to St. Louis. they can
surely count on the value. of that freight
being returned in merchandise over the
same route,
Why can not return freight be cheapened
by pPodLoe in the summer on the Texas
routes? In winter they are crowded with
cOtt0a, but in summer cheap freights would
furnish us with Texas -four, fruit. eggs,
chickens, vegetables, corn, etc AS It is
now, we eat apples from New England,
grapes. from Ohio, peaches from Mississ-
ippi, potatoes from Missouri. cabbages
from Illinois, turnips from Louisiana. We
buy corn and -four raised in the West, and
we languish for chickens, which are sold
for ten to fifteen cents days journey from
here, and for eggs, the freight on which
alone makes them worth forty to fifty cents
a dozen.

AE AIllgator COR the Exposltiop.

Tho Cincinnati Chronicle says:
A nice specimen Of 1--we alligator from
the Louisiana swamps arrived this morning,
in care of the Adams Express Company, for
the exposition. The commissioners have a
pond in front of the main hall, also a fOun-
tain, but to give an additional attraction to
their little lake. Mr.. Clement Olhaber sent
TO Captain Williams for an alligator, not so
large but that it could move comfortably in
the limited area of water to which-it was to
be consigned The order stated that one
five feet long would answer every purpose,
but the alligator that came this morning
measures fifteen feet in length, and looks as
if he could swallow the whole board of com
missioners without being discounted in
the least. What to do with the monster is
now agitating the consignees. Whether to
enlarge the lake, kill the alligator, or send
for smaller one, vexes the minds of the
commissioners.

A Paris letter writer tells of the follow
ing ingenious device of thieves; A gentle
man returning home at two in the morning,
saw two Sisters of Charity sitting on bench,
earnestly discussing; he advanced nigh
enough to learn that they were thieves,
and were dividing their days spOils, and
desecrating the habit of an excellent class
of devoted women. Another system of
thieving is to dress like an Alsatian,. and
stand at the railway stations with Ger
man accent, to beg, saying they have saeri-
feed all to get to Paris, at the same time
changing the tuum for the meum on any
thing they can without discovery.

Some of our best farmers, including such
men as John Johnston. have ascertaned
from thorough experiment, that corn plan
ted in drills will yield about twenty-five
per cent. more than in hills in the common
way. The more even distribution of the
plants in drills admits larger number of
fully developed stalks and greater pro-
due; of grain, and one-half more of fodder.
may be grown upon an acre of land. The
objection to drills is the increased labor of
handhoeing. In weedy soils this objec-
ton may be a strong ore; but on the
grounds of good farmers, who keep their
land clear by good cultivation and good
rotation, it is of small magnitude. Our
own repeated experiments prove that on
land which will give forty bushels per acre
by common hill culture, we may rely on
finy-hve bushels from wellcuitivated
drills, or an increase of fifteen bushels
enough to pay for seven days labor in hoe
ing, which is three times as great as the ac-
tual difference between hills and drills on
clean land, to say nothing of the increase
in the amount Of stalks for fodder. There
are some farms, we admit, which are so
poor anu So iuil vi "eeus, tha' lho cNlra
labor of hoeing drills would exceed the in
crease we have mentioned, and on these
farms the old mode will be continued.
After testing different modes Of applying
manure, we find the greatest return from
its application by spreading 1t on sod IN
fall or winter, and inverting this sod by
shallow blowing just before planting. There
NAV be soils where early blowing and sub
sequent working of the sod may answer

BRANDY AS A MISUNDERSTANDING kills
thousands every year who were healthy
before they began to use it; then II seems
fair to infer that it will kill the sick more
speedily.
DIR. Lee says that he was living near
Buckingham Palace, in London, where
Prince Albert was taken sick. His case
was doing well for few days, when they
began the use of brandy to strengthen him,
to enable him to recover more rapidly; the
more he was stimulated the worse ne grew
until he died. 1t Is true that they thought
it was the best thing for him, but their
thinking did not make 1t so.
Some years ago when il was the custom
to attempt curing delrum tremens by CIV
Ing brandy, ono out of every four died at
