Character.

We may judge mans character by
what he loves-what pleases him. If
q man manifests delight i'm low, sordid
objects, the vulgar song and debasiDg
language, in the lnisfortunes of his fel-
lows or animals, we may at once deter
mine the complexion of his character
On the contrary, if he loves purity,
modesty, truth-if virtuous pursuits
engage his heart aud draw out his
affections-we are satisfied he is an
upright man. When we see a young
man fond of fine clothes and making IA
Top of himself, it is a sure sign that he
thinks the world consists of outside
show and ostentation, and be certain
TO make an unstable man, without
true affection or friendship, fond of
change and excitement, and soon
wearying of those objects and pursuits
which, for time, give him pleasure.

Surplus of men and boys.

A surplus of 42s, S69 men and boys is
something really startling when il is
considered that Adam and Eve, one
man and one woman, Is the law of
creation. But as i'm the chapter of
accidents there are more fatalities
among boys and girls, and more
widows than widowers, and more old
maids than old bachelors, our surplus
of men and boys is in the infantIle,
and not in the adult population. $50
tine ut last makes all things even."

To Prevent SOws from Devouring Their
Young.

The monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture contains the fol-
lowing:
1t is well known that sows not I'M
frequently attack and devOur their
young; or ifprevented from this, will
not let down their milk, SO that the
young pigs necessarily die for want of
nourishment. When this state, of
things is not caused by diseased con-
dition of the uterus, it is said that the
sow can be brought to terms by pour
ing mixture of ten TO twenty grains
of spirit of camphor with one to three
of tinctuIe ofopium, into the ear. The
sow will immediately lie down on the
side of the ear To which the application
was made, and remain quiet for several
hours III this position without inter-
fering with her pigs; and on recovery
from the stupor will have lost her irrI-
liability i'm regard to them. The expert
ment has been tried i'm Germany nun
dreds of times, according to one of the
agricultural journals, without any in
FURIOUS effects. 1t is also said that the
eating of pigs by the parent sow can be
readily prevented by rubbing them all
over with brandy, and making the
same application about the nose of the
SOW herself.

. Remarkable Freaks Of Nature.

The following singular incidents an
esteemed friend furnishes MS for Tire in
formation OF the curious and the lovers
of the marvellous. Both the facts which
he states are beyond dispute; they are
testified to by hundred: of persons OF
credibility .ea,., -
l"In 1872, at Handyis' Ferry, on the
Wicomico River, q dividing line be-
tween Somerset and Dorchester coun-
ties, there were many chickens raised.
From here were q great many eggs sent
to the markets of Baltimore, Philadel-
pbia and Annapolis, and for q long time
eggs conld be bought for, five cents a
dozen. One night the occupant of the
house, Just on the brink of the. Wico-
mico, was disturbed and aroused by the
cackling, amounting to screaming, of a
hen which was setting; and when the
occupant of the house went down he
found at the door OF the nest a large
white owl, which was furiously attacked
by the. hen. The owl was scared away,
and the hen returned to her nest. When
the DAYS of incubation were ended, the
chickens were Matched, and all of them
looked like owls They we're purchased
by the Managers Of the Philadelphia
Museum for two hundred dollars, and
kept in that institution for eleven years.
This freak Of nature is so frequently re-
peated that this tale can hardly excite
surprise. sast ~

Nazareth.

Rev. J. B. Dunn, writing to the BOs-
ton Traveller, gives the following
description of Nazareth - :,
The situation. of Nazareth is very
pleasant, the people are better dressed,
and the, women handsomer than any
we have seen in the East. What
pity we must add the streets are the
dirtiest, an open sewer running through
many of them. We of course visited
the house where it is said that Jesus
and his parents lived; also, JOseph's
workshop, where we saw pictures of
Mary and her son, dressed In modern
costume, and Joseph at work before q
of modern invention Toward sunset
we assembled the hill, from the top of
which are to be had the finest views of
any in Palestine. On reaching our
tent we found our favorite muleteer,
Safada, and his brother Francis. both
of whom are 'MOhommedans, had
given an Arab severe tbrashing be-
cause the Arab cursed the Christians
and our party, IrasI a,.,.. i..el,.ierI,. Is
n' One of the most interesting sights to
be seen at Nazareth is the. crowd of
young women and girls that between
the hours of five and eight In the even
ing flock to the public fountain with
their pitchers on their heads, to draw
water. Ut1 i't4 '-tIf 30 -
The night spent here was memora-
bic one, for, scarce had we retired to
our tents when a small army of big
mosquitoes came down upon us and
laid siege to our persons, nor could we
drive them away till morning called
us forth to begin another days journey
Ia day during which we rude through
part Of the valley of Esdraelon, crossed
the Kishon, where Balls prophets
were slain, assembled Carmel TO the
supposed point OF sacrifice, where We
spent some time in trying to reconcile
the Bible and our guide books, but
failed, when putting the latter in our
saddle bags aud taking the former in
our hands, we continued our explofa-
tons. Leaving Carmel, we rode across
the plain to Halfa, where, after bath
ing in the Mediterranean. we passed
the night under wet tents and on Dor
rowed beds, as our baggage mules on
crossing the KIsbon had their feet
taken from under them, the, baggage
upset and thoroughly soaked, as some
of my things to-day testify. H., =

Fashion and Marriage.

Says fashion correspondent: i
know there is q great deal said about
fashionable women, and a great many
pages written explaining why young
men cannot afford to marry, and why
they do not marry but it seems to me
about rs many young men marry as
do young ladies', for in looking over
the lnhg list in the daily prints / hard
~ ever see IAN announcement of a
marriage that there 1, not a young
fellow mixed up with it somehow
How they ever have courage to attack
such an array of milliner's bills, etc.,
is mystery, but they do it and do
not seem in the least alarmed. And
notice that man is always proud of
his wife just in proportion as she looks
handsomer than other mems wives;
AMI on the principal that "Fine
feathers make fine BIRDS" he aids and
abets her in her wicked designs of hav-
ing the be. tot everything, and having it
made up little more "stunningly"
than anything yet Possibly II is otle
OF these very same young husbands
who writes essays on the women Of
the period aud declares that she wears
SO many ruffies and ornaments that
she cannot be distinguished from the
denai,aO'ade, just rs if the character OF
social standing of woman was going
10 make any difference in her clothes.
Let ladies lake off all that the densi-
monde wear, and the best thing they
can DO is to go to bed and stay there.

A Uappy Woman.

What spectacle more pleasing does
the earth afford than a happy woman.
contented in her sphere, ready at all
times to benefit her little world by her
exertions, and Transforming the briars
and thorns of life into roses of a Para
disc by the magic of her touch! There
are those who are thus happy because
they cannot help it; no misfortunes
dampen their sweet smiles, and they
diffuse cheerful glow around them,
as they pursue the even tenor of their
way. They have hesecret of content
ment, whose value is above the philoso-
piers stone; for without seeking the
baser exchange of gold which may
buy some SOFT of pleasure, they con-
vert everything they touch into joy.
What their condition is makes no
difference. They may be rich or poor,
high or low, admired or forsaken by
by the tickle world; but the sparkling
fountain bubbles up in their hearts
and makes them radiantly beautiful.
Though their life is in log cabin, they
make it shine with lustre that kings
aud queens may ccvet, and they make
wealth fountain of blessings to the
children of poverty.

generally in favor of permanent pas
lures, though there is now and then one
among them who has found out by trial
the greatly increased yield of grass on
newly seeded lands; but the tendency
among these men is to measure their
years work, not SO much by determin-
ing the products per acre of their farms,
hnt rather the pounds of cheese or but
ter made per COW. never heard dali
ryman state of his own accord, the
amount of money his farm paid by the
acre, but 1 have constantly heard of
cows paying from $50 to 800 each for
the years business.
Is this the true way of determining
profits If it is, then the permanent
pasture is the best, for am confident
that a COW that has an abundance of the
fine and rich grasses that q well cared
for old pasture viii yield, will make
more and better butter or cheese than
the same COW would make on the rapker
grasses of new pasture. That is,
COW on two or three acres Of old pasture
will give her owner better return than
the same COW would on one acre OF
new pasture. But If one acre OF now
pasture will fully feed her, then we have
to enquire whether the increase in guam
tity and quality of her productions will
pay for the greatly increased area OF
ground necessary for her Summers
feed. 1 am confident that there can be
but one answer to this inquiry. The
increased quantity will be very spail,
and only few expert discern
the difference in quality. And certainly
the wheat lands Of New York will sup
port much more stock on newly seeded
pastures than they will on fields OF 70
or 80 years standing.
To state this question of old and new
pastures in the shortest form, it will be
sufficient to say that if I was about to
hire my COW pastured, I should desire
to have her in an old field not over
stocked. If / was to raise pasture,
either to use myself or to be used in the
pasturage of other mems COWS. should
prefer to have it freshly-seeded, for the
greatly increased quantity OF grass OF
the new seeding would much more than
equal in value the better quality, but

HOW Is THIS FOR HIGH !

Congressman Caldwell, of the 8th Ten
nessee District, is one of the representatives
of the much Wanted responsibility to be
found in the ranks of Tennessee DemOC-
racy. The following from the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Times
is an example of this heightened respecta-
bility:
1t has transpired that the violation of conf
dence practiced by Mr.. Caldwell, of Tennessee
in secretly putting the name of Mr.. Vance into
an amnesty bill which passed without the read
ing Of the names, was much more fragrant than
at first understood, for the same bill contained
the names of Isham @. Harris, Ex-Governor
and Indian Trust Fund robber, ex-senator
William A. Graham, of North Carolina, and
ex-senator a. o. 2. Nicholson, of Tennessee,
all of whom are men whom the House has eX-
cluded heretofore, and the latter of whom, as
Chief Justice elect of the Tennessee Supreme
Court, is under qllO 1cayrG1tO writ to show
why the Fourteenth Amendment does not de-
bar him from taking his seat.

CARPET-BAGGERS.

\ correspondent of the Knoxville CHRONI-
lie, Radical, speaks of the Representative from
Monroe, Mr.. Chambers, as a North Carolina
carpet-bsgger," 1t is true Mr.. Chambers Is a
native of North Carolina, but when he came TO
Tennessee he brought with him all his worldly
goods and came to make it his home, not like
the Federal carpet-bagger to prey upon the
land and then return to State rs cold in chime
rs he Is IN blood. With this latter class of car
pet-baggerS East Tennessee has long been af-
iicted. Mr.. Chambers is a quiet, unobtrusive
member, energetic and faithful in the discharge
of his duties and commanding as much the eS-
TEEN OF has fellow members as any other Rep
reSentative in the House. Union and AMERICAN
Federal carpet-baggers :" What does
the Union and american mean bv that
term? Is it understood that gentlemen
from north of the Ohio river are " FEEDER
al" carpet-baggers Then, we suppose
Mr.. Chambers, for whom, by the way, we
entertain the no disrespect, is a Confed-
crate carpet-bagger. Is this the distinction
urcontemporary would create? Gen. Wild
er, Capt. Chamberlain and hundreds of 9TH
erNorthern men who are "affiicting' East
Tennessee with their capital and enter
prise, are Federal carpet-baggers. Mr..
Chambers, late a native of North Carolina,
but "who brought with him all his world
ly goods" when he came to Tennessee,
and who ran for Office before he had been
here half dozen years, is n Confeder-
ate carpet-bagger."

Tennessee Democracy always was afraid

forced Tennessee in rebellion against the

flee to make way for poor Fleming, who
could never have been elected to his pre-

The citizens of East Tennessee have for
fourteen years sent Horace Maynard to
Congress because he is an honest, able,
faithful representative. The aspiring DEM
agogues like Fleming, Blizzard & Co., who
want to go to Congress, knew they never
could get there unless they could fetter
East Tennesseeans with the kukluX of
