PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE -
In this paper and one or tYoof the pre-
cedng ones we haze given a summary
of a part of the proceedings of the Lcgis
lature. Knowing that the amendment OF
the constitution would require important
legislation we thought our readers wouId
be interested in the proceedings Of The
Legislature. Thus far however there
has not been much i'm portant legisla
lion, and there would seem To be some
foundation fer the remarks Of a correspon
dent of the Chicago Z l6une under The
head, How not to do it," We trust
however that the Legislature win, aft,l
a while, surmount the difficulties of the
situation, and show the Tribune. cores
pondent and all others that they know
How 10 Go it." and Waldo it. We still
look for important legislation, and shall
endeavor TO keep our readers informed OF
all that is important.

CHICAGO ALDERMEN AND PERJURY. -
Chicago is having quite time with hel
aldermen for PERJURY. Repor.s have
long been current that bill s were carrie d
OF defeated 10y bribery. Those reports
became SO general through the press
that grand jury was called and the
matter laid before them for Investigation
The jury found about dozen of indict-
ments, and we believe other iudictm, nts
have been found since. Alderman GLADE
was tried beforrsJ rstice Tree and convi :
ted. He carried the case to the Supreme
Court and that Court sustained Judge
Tree, and Alderman Glade remained con
victed Of bribery. - rwwe
Alderman Bail y has also been tried
for bribery and has been acquitted. But
his acquittal it seems depended upon in.
sufficient proof to convict him. Pablo
opinion is such that the Chicago press
says if alderman Bailey does not resign
the Council will be justified in expellipg
him.
Other indictments are still pending
and perhaps trials progressing. Chicago
is making Deter progress in bringing
her perju:ers and thieves to justice shan
New York, and it is to be hoped shat She
will not tire of her good work i'll she has
at least made an effort to bring all htr
guilty aidermen to jns'ice.

Dio Lewis's Recipe for Grow
ing Plump.

Go to bed at half past eight OF
nine o'clock, and don't be in hur-
ry about getting up in the morning.
On going to bed and on getting up
in the morning, drink as much cold
water as you can swallow. Soon
you will learn to drink two tumblers;
drink all that your stomach will
bear. Spend good deal of time
in the open air without hard exer-
else, but exposed to the sun. If
practicable, ride in a carriage some
hours every day. Remain out
enough to give you a good appe-
tite, but don't work hard enough to
produce excessive perspiration. Eat
a great deal of oatmeal porridge,
cracked wheat, Graham mush, baked
sweet apples, roasted and broiled
beef, though the vegetable part is
more fattening than the animal
part. Lie down an hour in the
middle of the day, just before you
take your dinner, to rest and if pos
sible, take a little nap. Cultivate
jolly people. Laugh and grow fat
rests upon a sound physiological
basis. A pleasant flow Of the social
spirit is great prompter of diges-
tion. Keep your skin clean, sleep
in room where the sun shines,
keep everything clean and sweet
and fresh about your bed, sleep 9, if
possible 10 hours in the "a, eat as l
have told you, cultivate the jolly
spirit, and in & months you will be
as plump as you could wish.

The Old Harpsichord.

Beethoven was in the habit OF
playing his symphonies on an old
harpsichord as test. They would
thus be made to stand out in theil
true character, with nothing to hide
their faults, or exagerate thei1
beauties. If then they commended
themselves to his ear, they were
good, and might safely be sent forth
to the world.
Thus wisely may we test our char.
acter, endeavoring to ascertain how
it manifests itself-not on great and
rare occasions, or before the public
eye, where there is a chance for dis
play and applause, but in private,
in the little, homely, everyday du
ties, which attract no particular at
tention, and reward us with no
praise.
If, in the retired nook of your
own breast, in the regulation OF
your thoughts and feelings; if, in
the bosom of your family, in the
monotonous round of home life
each day, you preserve sweet, Sc
rene temper, and go forward cheer
fully, taking real pleasure in duty
as duty, and in all these little mat
tiers honestly strive to serve and
please the heavenly Master; if, in a
word, your piety sounds well on
such an unpretending harp,and there
it is good, genuine, tested; it will
one day win acclamation from a
vaster and nobler throng than ever
was thrilled blythe genius of Bee
thoven.

The Value of Small Courtisies

Civility costs nothing, and is of
ten productive of good results.
Here is an instance:
A local doctor of medicine at
Bath, England, has just had legacy
of twenty thousand dollars, and a
comfortable house left him by a
lady who was only known to him by
his once offering her seat in his car
riage.
A gentleman known to the writer
once assisted very old and feeble
man to cross from the London
Mansion House to the Bank of Eng
land. This crossing is very dan
gerous one. especially at mid day,
when the city is full of cabs, omni
buses, drays and vehicles. When
the old gentleman had got safely
aero ss,he exchanged cards with his
obliging friend; and there the mat
ter rested. Some four or five wears
after this incident occurred, a firm
OF London solicitors wrote to the
young gentleman who had taken
pity on the old man, informing him
that a legacy of five thousand do
lars and a gold watch and chain, had
been left him by gentleman who
took the opportunity of again thank
ing him in his will, for an act of
unlocked for civility. 1t is not like
ly that all will have gold watches and
CHAINS left to them, or neat little
bundles of crisp notes, but it is GER
tain that acts OF civility are produc-
tive ofsufficient results to our inner
selves to make it worth our while to
practice them wherever we find the
opportunity.

How to Keep a Situation.

Lay it down as a foundation rule,
that you will be "faithful in that
which is least" Pick up the loose
nails, bits of twine, clean wrapping
paper, and put them in their places.
Re ready to throw an odd half hour
or hours time, when it will be an
accommodation, and don't seem to
make a merit of it. Do it heartily.
Though not a word be said, be sure
that your employer will make a note
of it. Make yourself indispensable
to him, and he will lose many of
the opposite kind before he will
part with you.
Those young men who watch the
time to see the very second their
working hour is up; who leave, no
matter what state the work may be
in, at precisely the instant; who cal
culate the amount they can slight
their work and yet not get reproved
and who are lavish oftheir employ
eF's goods, will always be first to
receive notice when times are dull
and their services are no longer re-
qulred. Remember you are not a
slave. Then serve your employer
as friend; in due time he will be a
friend to you.

Moral influence.

Away among the Alleghanies
there is spring so small that sin
ole OK. on a Summer'sday could
drain it. 1t steals its unobstrusive
way among the hills until it spreads
into the beautiful Ohio. Thence, 1t
stretches away a thousand miles,
leaving on its banks more than a
hundred villages and citles' ana
many thousand cultivated farms, and
bearing on . its bosom more than
half a thousand steamboats,. Then,
Joining the Mississippi, it stretches
away some twelve hundred miles
more till it falls into the great en-
blem of eternity. 1t is one of the
great tributaries of the ocean, which
obedient only to God, shall roll and
roar till the angel, with one foot on
the sea and the other on the land,
shall lift up his hand unto heaven,
and swear time shall be no longer.
So with moral influence; it is a rill.
a rivulet, a river, an ocean, bound
less and fathomless as eternity.

Care of Horses at Night.

Few men who handle horses give
proper attention to the feet and legs
Especially is this the case on farms
Much time is spent of morning in
brushing and smoothing the hair on
the sides and hips, but at no time
are the feet examined and properly
cared for. Now, be it known, that
the feet of a no rse require more
care than the body. They need ten
times as much, for in one respect
they are almost the entire horse.
All the grooming that can be done
won't avail anything if the horse is
forced to stand where his feet will
be filthy. In this case the feet will
become disordered, and then the
legs will get badly out Of fix; and
with bad feet and legs, there is not
much else of the horse fit for any
thing. Stable prisons are generally
severe on the feet and legs of hol ses
and unless these buildings can af
ford dry room, where horse can
walk around, lie down, or roll over,
they are not half SO healthy and
comfortable to the horse as the pas,
ture, and should be avoided by all
good hostlers in the country.

Rice Croquettes.

Take four ounces of rice and
cook well in pint Of milk and the
rind of half a lemon. Add more
milk if needed to keep the rice COW
cred. When done, mix with two
tablespoonfuls of milk, yokes OF
three eggs, a pinch of salt and nut
meg if agreeable. Put back on the
fire and stir for a minute. Spread
out on a dish till cold. All this
may be done the night before if
wanted for breakfast. Then mix,
shape, dip them in whites of eggs
and bread crumbs and fry. You
can cook the rice, first place in wa
ter, by adding two tablespoonfuls of
cream when ready to make GRO
uuetteS of them.

New England's Grain Pro-
s. - duct.

OF the six States east of the
Hudson, Vermont comes nearest to
raising its own bread, producing
450, 900 bushels of wheat in 1869 or
about a bushel and peck to each
inhabitant. Taking the army ra-
tion of % ounces Of flour per day
as basis for computing the CON
sumption of bread, it follows that
Vermont raises bread enough to
supply the people of the State 81
days, and that to make up the de-
ficiency they are obliged to purchase
3, ,S36, 900 bushels per annum. Maine
makes the next best showing in the
cultivation of wheat, producing in
1869 27S,000 bushels, sufficient to
last eleven days, and purchasing s.
100000 bushels. New Hampshire,
with decreasing population, was a
trifie behind Maine, producing l 49,
600 bushels-a little more than half
q bushel to each inhabitant-pur-
chasing 4,260,000 bushels, or ten
days supply. Connecticut makes
much poorer showing than New
Hampshire, producing $4,000 bush
enough to supply the people
with bread for ten days-and pur-
chasing 9,51S,000 bushels. Mas
sachusetts, though having a larger
area than Connecticut, raised only
$4,000 bushels, which, ground to
powder, was sufficient to give the in
habitants of the State bread enough
for breakfast and dinner, but not
enough for supper! The people of
this commonwealth purchase 20
100000 bushels of wheat. Rhode
Island raised 7S4 bushels of wheat
in 1869, and purchases about 3,0OO,I
600 bushels per annum. The six
New England States together pur
chase in round numbers from 40 to
50,000,O00 bushels of wheat, and
quite as much of other grains; or
in round numbers, 100,000,0O0 BUSH

Sheep as Weed Extermina-
H tors.

1t may not be known to farmers
in general, that it is a common
practice in some parts of the coun-
try to turn sheep into the potato
field, for the purpose of eating down
the weeds. The sheep will not
touch the potato vine. This pas
turing with sheep is advantageous,
when the crop is late planted one,
SO that the hoeing cannot be COM
pleted until after haying or harvest
ing is finished. Early planted crops,
the cultivation of which is complet-
ed in the early part Of the summer,
frequently become grassy and weedy
before the time of digging, when
the size of the tops precludes cul-
tivation. In this stage sheep are
economical weeders.
