Frost and Snow.

Thorough plowing before the extreme
cold of winter sets in will amply repay
the trouble that it costs now. To give
the soil the full advantage of natures
fertilizers it ought to be well drained,
but breaking it up answers the same
purpose in partial degree; for the air
charged with rain or snow has freer ac'
cess to it, and, passing through, leaves
the soil in the spring mellow, finely pull,
verizsd, and in some mysterious man
ner richer than it was before. The
deepest plowing and most laborious oul'
tiyatiop, in the spring, will not have .
like effect. On this winter.seasoned soil
a green crop may we'll be sown for turn
ing under.

The following beautiful extract is from q
speech of Senator Wilson delivered at St.

wrongs than to inAict them. But, gentlemen,
ono thing 10 clear. We had struggle 10
this country for forty years. On the one
side was the spirit of liberty, b,rn in heaven
"A spirit that lifts every ybody up, and pulls
nobody down. On the other hand was the
spirit of slavery, of cast, Of privilege, that
outragss humanity aud divides mankind into
classss-s spirit that drag+ every body down,
and lifts nobody up. We had y IN peace ;
we had it in war, and We have had il s.nce

blood, OF treasure, of years of strife, We have
marched up and reached the shining sum

their country ss cabinet ministers rather
than their party IS professional politicians,
therc 10 little fesr that the country would
have been on his side, and members OF Con-
gress soon rclegatsd TO their constitutional
sphere of legislative duties. Wedeplore the
result, and cannot wholly forgive the sur
render, but An examination of the operating
causes and agencies enables US to under
stand how il was brought about
Tho nr 1t Characteristic Of Ger. Grant has
been his instructive sagacity in choosing
men. In military life this talent had been
perhaps the chief cause of his success. No
ether..Genersl can show such triumvirate a.
Sherman, Sheridan, and McPhersoD, besides
the long list Of lesser field officers, equally
active and devoted, If not equally renowned.
When the President went over to the poll
ticians, he chose his lieutsnauts a. skillfully
as he had selected those Of the army. It 10
true that their tactics. have been most un-
fortunate fer the country, and almost disss-
trous to their party, bit - mere politicians
there could not haye been selected more
indefatigable fighters. Gen. Grant aban-
doned line Of Steamship for line Of poll
tics, and on his new line it became necessary,
in his opinion, 70 have . new set Of corps
commanders. The men wo do not admire,
their field of operations We think small,
their system of strategy shallow and mean;
Dut ~ OIuC0Ib 6udpteu 70 buus AinV VI Pcssy
political warfare they were ths ablest that
could be had.
But there 10 one other characteristic of
Gen. Grant which his first Presidency has
hardly called into action, but which in the
second may be found to retrieve much ofthe
ground that has been lost. This is ability TO
lesrn, and especially to learn wisdom from
his own mistakes. The repulse at Belmont
" ether we judge it by bis 6rst or iubsti-
tuted report) and tho comprehensiv strategy
of the campaign Of IS64-'5 will always seem
10 be tho work of two different men. Yet
between the two extremes can be traced his
steady, patient growth erring, but erripg
less and less making mistakes, but never
repeating tho fame one; moving tsrdily,
but always 10 some way alta ming ultimate
success II is on this characteristic that the
hopes Of his couutrymen may now rest. We
have reason TO believe that during the four
years of his term he has been learning -
during the four years Of the war; that littl"
has escaped his quiet, unobtrusive attention
and that bis knowledge Of public men and
the wants and interests Of the country is
incomparably gre ater than it was. On GER
tain subjects, % civil-service reform, he has
always becn in advance of his party in Con-
gress, and has proved to be much stronger
than his party aud his party leaders among
the people. He owes nothing to Messrs
Morton and Cameron, and other msnsgers,
and they owe ell their present success TO
him. With the first Presidency wo hope The
Presid mt will consider his debts Of graft
tude TO those gentlemen f. lily paid, and him
self entirely free to administer the alta Of
tho executive department exclus .vely for
the welfare Of the country.

FRouDE, the historian, is a nervous

"What with the apparent difficulty of
delivery, the terrible monotony of in
Election, and the peculiarly English ac.
cent of Mr.. Froude, the first portion of
his speech was well-nieh unintelligible."

SLAUGHTER Of the BaHAlo.

Thousands upon Thousands of buffalo
hides are being brought in here by
hunters. In some places whole acres Of
ground are covered with hides, spread
out with the feehy eide up to dry. 1t
ia estimated that there are, south Of the
Arkansas and west of Wichita, from one
to two thousand men shooting buffalo
for their hides alone. Il it any wonder

against this wanton destructioa Of ms
