SURPRISE PARTIEs.-A lady cores.
pondent who lives in a manufacturing
town in Rhode Island was recently the
victim of surprise party, and relates
her experience os follows: l have never
imposed upon any ofmy friends or neigh
bors by attending a surptise party, and
as long as | remain sane l never will.
But | have been the unwilling recipient
of one of those social nuisances dubbed
a silver wedding. Isaac and l knew as
well as anybody that we had been mar.
ried 20 years, but we didn't wish to cell
ebrate the event for numerous reasons.
We didn't wish to beg for presents. Our
house is not large enough to accommo-
date all we would wish to invite on such
an occasion, and we could not bring our.
selves to slight any, and not being par
tial to large parties, judge of our con-
sternation when we were overwhelmed
by mob consisting of some of our friends
and many who were not our friends or
even acquaintances. Tom, Dick, and
the dragon, any one who could be induc-
ed to sign their names to a paper and
pay their money to help buy tea-set,
under the promise of coming to our house
and having gay time, just as they would
have amusement. The presents were
very nice indeed, but l shall never use
them, and for them we are put under OBJ
legations to class Of people whose ac.
quaintance we did not desire. They rum
mayed and ransacked the house from
garret to cellar, looked into my closets
and bureau-drawers, and even counted
the blankets on my own and my servants
beds, smashed my pet cast, wore holes
in my sitting room carpet by dancing on
it, and have made capital for gossip out
OF my household arrangements generally.
There were even people present to whom
l was not introduced. We have always

Planting Whole and Cut Potatoes

DIR. Hexaner, of New York, in re-
suit of an experiment Of planting the
potato in seventeen different ways,
found that the best results were given
from one large potato whole, in each
hill, the next best from two large half
potatoes cut leDghtwise; next the seed
end Of a large potato; next from me-
dunn sized potatoes planted who,e;the
smallest from small half potatoes. A
medium potato he plants whole; large
ones cut In half an;i the largest in four
pieces, each lei4gthwise, always taking
care To select his best and soundest
potatoes for seed.
|. j. 4. Warder, of Ohio, in an expert
meni with Harrisois, found that large
seed cut in halyes gives tire most salea-
bic potatoes He says: This exper-
iment, in connection with one made
last year, would induce me to cut good,
saleabie-sized potatoes for seed in
preference 10 planting them whole /;
and In years of scarcity to use small
potatoes, with care not to plant them
too closely together"
Prof. Daaiels' Of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural College, in an experiment
found that cut seed gave more from
the same weight of seed, except where
small potatoes were used, than whole
ones did The whole potatoes produc-
ed the most vigororons plants, those
cut, the least.

Deep Flowing.


The last monthly report on the pro-

den Farm, near Newport, r. l., under
the direction of Col. Geo. Waring,
closes with The following paragraph,
As printed Ia the s.dmesicap -Ag,'fcut-
itHist:
In general farm matters there is
nothing OF especial interest TO report.
We jog along very much as usual, well
satisfied Of the benefits Of setting, and
not especially dissatisfied with our
results IN any respect, save that, in
spite of thorough cultivation aud heavy
manuring, we still feel the i'll effect of
the deep blowing Of about ten acres of
the farm in1S6S. For ordinary crops
it does very well, probably much bet
ter, because Of the deep plowing, but
about Two acres Of carrots planted up.

Live Cattle Weighed by Measure


The girth is the circumference OF
the animal just behind the shoulder
blades. The following table contains
the rule to ascertain the weight of the
animal:
If less than foot in girth, multiply
the superficial feet by eight. Iflees
than three aud more than one, multi
ply superficial feet by eleven.
II less than five and more than three
multiply the superficial feet by six
teen.
II less than seven and more than
five multiply superficial feet by TWEEN
ty-iive. !.
If less than nine and more than
seven multiply superficial feet by
thirty-three.
If less than eleven and more than
nine multiply superficial feet by forty
two.
Example. suppose a pig to measure
in girth two feet, aud length one foot
aud nine inches, there would be three
and half feet. which multiplied by
eleven, gives thirty-eight and a half
pounds, as the weight of the animal
when dressed. In this way thu weight
Of tho quarters can be substantially
ascertained during life. Ecchdnge.

Planting Grape Vines.

IL is surprising that 50 many families
in the country are willing to live year
after year without cultivating a single
grape vine about their dwellings.
They are compelled To purchase the
delicious fruit for The table, or not
taste 1t during the season. There is a
common impression that to cultivate
grapes perfectly a vast amount Of
knowledge aAi tact il requited no
many the simple trimming ola vine is
q mystery, more difficult to compre-
bend than the hardest problem Of
Euclid This is al erroneous view,
aud ought not to prevail. Any person
of common intelligence can learn In
an hour how to trim and nourish
vines, and If instruction cannot be
obtained from some experienced cult
yator, there are books filled with cuts
and illustrations which make every
thing plain.

Abolish the Grand Jury.


Whether or not the Grand Jury is
consistent with American institutions
is in harmony with the civilization OF
the 10Th century, has been much
discussed. Certain it Is that there Is
wide spread and growing antipaihy
to this inqusitorial body, among the
legal profession as well a. among the
plain people OF ordinary occupations.
One state, at least. Wisconsin. we
believe, has abolished the Grand Jury
System altogether.
Senator Shane has taken the initi-
alive in the Iowa Legislature and Of
fered amendments TO the State Con-
stitution striking out the Grand Jury
System, and materially changing

Reply to Jesse Dorcas.

In the last ADVERTISER, mo. -,
we noticed several short articles sign
ed with the above name. We were
much interested in the pcrusal Of said
articles, but astonished at his assertion
that, 9 during the Thousand years the
saints, or just, shall reign with Christ
this earth shall be utterly desolate,
without an inhabitant. = We confess
that this is new and strange To us.
" With the open bible before us" we
never have, and without further and
more conclusive evidence, never can,
believe it. He cites us to Rev. Xxx, 8 !;
for his benefit we will rchearse the
second aud third verse OF the same
chapter: And he (the angeD laid
hold On the dragon, that odd serpent
which is the Devil and Satan. and
bound him thousand years, and cast
him into the bottomless pit and set
seal upon him that he shooid aeceire
tie nations ,,o more TIL He Hsousd,,d
years si,ond be .Tu.fiied,. and after
that he mast be loosed little season."
Now this tells us why Satan was Tor
will bel bound thousand years; that
he should deceive the nations no
more till the thousand years were
passed. Ii there was no one or the
earth during the thousand wears, as
J. Dorcas tells us, Satan need not be
bound. Then the seventh and eighth
verses of the same chapter: g And
when the thousand years are expired
Satan shall lc ioosed out of his prison.
and shall go out to deceive the nations
,ri.ich are IN the .fo,a. corners Of The
earth, Cog and AIagog, to gather them
them up to battle, the number of
whom is as the sands Of the sea. -
This quotation also proves him to be
mistaken; il tells us of nations on the
earth whose number was tor will bel
rs the sands of the sea. Now this
doesn't look like the earth being des-
olate, without an illhabitant. With
all due respect to his opinion and be-
lief, we would call the attention Of
MIR. ID. to these passages. and would
assn shlh Tar tiiIiN ts I'D t1t1it THAT the
lamb ard the lion shall shall lie down
together, &c, spoken Of in the Bible,
when there shall be no war nor
enmity nor dissentions on the earth.
but all shall be peace, if not during
the thousand years that Satan is
bound that he may not deceive the |
nations which are on the earth?' III
this thousand years be not the millen- |
MUM, when will it be-
We believe, and our belief is found. /
ed on the open Bible, that the saints, /
both those who are on the earth at
the time of Christ's coming, and those |
who are resurected in the first resu. +
rection- will reign with Chris. on the /
earth during the thousand wears, and |
that will be the time when the peace |
and good will shall be universal. while (
Satan is bound and has no power to I
deceive. We think there is plenty of
Scripture to substantiate 1t: Mat. =.

Tobacco.

Mr.. EDITOR: As this article seems
to be up for concentration, permit
your humble correspondent 10 drop q
4 word to your numerous readers, in re-
lation to it,
First In dwelling upon this sub
I iect, it might he well to notice that,
/ like the tipler's bi.ters, there are sew
eral kinds. Among these, one Is. or
was, denominated F" High Jack;'i now
this High Jack is sometimes nearly
related TO Low Jack, and Is really
sometimes the production of Low
Jack, a. follows he being too lazy,
or too busy with a task Of 1000 "half
Spanish or tobies," TO fetch water, or
carry his filthy contents one rod east !;
finding his filters or scraps too dry for
convenience, moistens them with a
certain aqueous, saline production of
certain vegetable and animal matters,
&c, &c., too numerous 10 mention.
But, however, the article to be denom-
mated I" high jack tobacco or some
other glorious appeilation, being thus
prepared is rolled up into shape aud
ffi:Jn In which gentlemen roll it as a
sweet morsel under their tongues.
We testify what we have seen, and
no man recelveth our testimony
Secondly: Tobacco, in its diversified
forms, robs men, women and children
Of their money, time, health, and de-
cency and renders unsound their
religion, morals, and brains-that is
high Jack. He makes man, some
times, -narlish, snappish, and cross as
the devil
Thirdly !: Hall the saliva. 30 inpor
tant in the digestive process, fiichea
from your mouths my friends, by this
grand enemy, were collected, 1t would
form Stygian sea, whose deep, dark
waves of death would roll over our
Christian land with greater fasrfuiness
than the symoons Of the desert, or The
black vomit Of the Crescent City.
Fourthly: High Jack i no respec
ter Of persons; yet he delights to see
the minister of the gospel roll him NJ
q sweet moTsel under his unhaliowed
tongue. He often makes a minister Of
Jesus believe that he cannot preach so
eloquentiy without his assistan &c.
BE that a ii may.
Lastly : But not least, he wea2es a
winding sheet around 10000 in our
Christian land annually. Separates
husbands and wives; destroys families
aud sends forth food OF paupers,
blind, deaf and dumb, u Disgrace our
race aud nation.
Some few years ago yoar unworthy
servant" called AT the deaf aud dumb
asylum at Iowa City, and after divine
service, when the children were all in
place and order, in the auditorium. we
had the privilege Of examining them;
said to the worthy aud patient profes-
sor, that lie had rather hard lot OF
children he quickly replied that they
were "as gecd IS could be expected
from those from whom they come"
These, no doub., were In many in
stances, tobacco and whisky topers.
