BlaCkmaiIing.

Some years ago, when novel-read-
ing formed u portion Of our pastime,
we remember to have read novel, by
Reynolds, in which his principal vii
lain, Ned Canton, was made to remark
that man was fool to violate the
law, when disposed to act the scoun-
drel, because he could be so much
meaner and keep within the law
There is something noble about the
highwayman, or the burglar,
or even the petty pickpocket,
when compared to that species of vii
lain that floats in respectable society
and keeps the law on his side. The
lowest down of these is the blackmail-
er, and the lowest specimen of the
blackmailer is the haw-hunter-the
man who examines your title papers,
and finds that the property you have
bought and paid for may, by tech
nicality, be wrested from you. 1t is
not his : it never cost him cent but
seeing that you have overlooked some
thing, or that, perchance, the clerk has
failed to record your deed in time, he
seeks to buy this "faw" for a mere
nothing, in order to make you buy
your own property Of him. Human
law can take no cognizance Of such
creatures, but if the devil don't catch
them, he and his dominions may as
well be abolished. We would trust
the picEpocket a hundred-fold quicker
than one of this class-that is, in mat
ters where the lar is silent, for some
thieves, even, have repugnance to a
breach Of trust-but the other class
never do, except in cases where the
law, or Mrs Grundy, would notice 1t.
These fellows attend church regularly,
wear long faces, pay the highest price
for pews always provided the price is
to be published in the morning pa
pers), and have no charity for the
thief who steals a loaf of bread, after
a fast of three or four days, or for the
girl whom want his driven into life
of shame-they smile contemptuously
at all excuses for the violation of the
law. If ever we have felt the desire
to dip our hands in the blood of beings,
created in the human form, it has been
when crossed by this-the perfection
of all the devils handiwork-the black
mailer; the fellow who attempts to
get that which he knows rightfully be
longs to another, through technicality,
or be " bought off.

A New Use for Rum.

The seizure Of liquor by the State
constables in Massachusett furnishes
many refreshing little incidents which
help to make life tolerable in that dry
and thirsty land. At North Adams, the
other day, resolute officer seized
jar of something and took it before
magistrate, when the following interest
ing examination took place: The at
torney for the prisoner asked the CON
stable if he knew it was liquor? He
replied; " Yes, it was rum; l drank
some ofit." The prisoner, a woman,
was called. did you have any liquor
in your house when the State const-
able called?" eyes, had some in
jar" How long had you had to-
"About six months" "Did you have
it for sale?" "Oh, no | don't sell
liquor" "What did you keep this
rum for?" 81 kept it to wash the
baby" "Had you ever washed the
baby in this rum? "Oh, yes, often
l used to turn the rum out in a dish,
wash the baby in it, and then turn it
back in the jar" There was laughter
in the Court, and the State Constable
said that he would seize no more liq-
uor kept in a jar.

Keeping a Post office.

Wife said the thing would act like Il
charm. Under the old regime some
people never got Il letter, while now
the first person IN the Office, after the
distribution of the mail, would get the
biggest, latest letter that came.

myself on its invention. The I.ipmuck

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
CROWNS POTATOES UNDER STRAW.

In. the Rrral Nep Yorku Of Febru-
ary Sd, 1872, an Illinois correspondent
asked if any of the readers of the Rural
had, the past year, produced a crop of
potatoes by dropping the seed on the
surface of meadow or pasture land, with
out plowing, and covering it with straw /;
aud having tried raising potatoes under
|. straw for the last thirty years and more,
! will give you bit of my experience.
] did not raise potatoes for some years
past without ploughing the ground l
have tried to raise them on sod and on
ploughed grourd, without covering with
ground before put The straw on. but |
bad no good crops either way. 1t will
do on sod, or on plougheG ground, ifyou
put plenty Of straw on, in wet season.
/ never raised poor crop of potatoes
yet, when | first rloughed the ground
then p anted them in the same way as |
would raise potatoes without putting
straw en- them Last year-that is, last
tumm WAS too dry here in Ohio foi
potatoes and yet raised very good
crop of good large potatoes. | can now
show you, if you will ccme and take a
peep into nv cellar, potatoes that weigh
two pounds ard two pounds and half,
of the King of Earlies. Earl y Rose,
Peerless, Prolific, Mohawk, and a num-
her Of other kinds. | will 'ell you how
raised hose large and good potatoes
In the ia of 1870, ploughed clover
sod some eight inches deep; through
the winter | hauled ON good quantity
of taru yard manure aud spread it all
over the ground in the spring of 1871,
| narrowed the ground, manure and all
fine; tEeu ploughed the ground again
as deep as had ploughed it before !;
then narrowed it fine again then fur
rowed it out only one way, about three
feet apart; then drilled in the seed in
the furrnws about 10 to II inches apart );
the seed was some whole potatoes. some
cut in halves an some in less pieces,
and rome in single eyes ; covered them
about three inches with ground and
hocd the furrows. This was done about
the 10Th of May, then covered The whole
all over with straw from six to eight
inches deep and let all be till digging
time tlen we used the Hexamer six
pronged potato digger in scratching the
straw off We found many potatoes on
top of the ground just under the straw.
| have been thus minute in the above,
because so many ask me from time to
time how raise potatoes under straw.
Now, gentlemen, if the above, will do
any one good-and know it will if you
practice it I shall be glad. Many ask
me, too, which kind of potatoes | like
best This last question will answer.
/ like the Early Rose best for early, tax
ing yield, qnality, beauty. and flavor
into consideration The King OF Earlie+,
or "Breese's Fifty Dollar Potato as he
has it in his essay, is very good and
the Peerless, | think, it decidedly the
best and most profitable potato | ever
saw for the late. | had it planted side
by side with the Peach Blow last season;
the Peerless yield double that of the
Peach Blow, and is a much nicer potato.

bers and Greenwich Streets, creating
quite sensation among the butter deal
ers. BY the courtesy of II. l. Stuart,
Esq, well known resident of this city
but who, from the note accompanying
1t. we infer is at present a guest at the
Fort William Henry Hotel, Lake George
we are indebted for a handsome cyl
indr.cal roll of the new butter, from the
first shipment across the continent
Other shipments are announced and if
the experiment of bringing yellow grass
butter. fresh from the Pacific coast,
proves as feasible as II seems likely from
the satisfactory result of the first ship
ment, we may expect to get our spring
butter in this city much earlier as well
as cheaper than heretofore. The color
of the California product is all that can
be desired, and the favor quite equal to
State butter of month hence. 1t cost.
in San Francisco so cents, gold, and the
freight is . cents per pound, which
leaves the seller in New York a fair
profit at 40 cents per pound. 1t comes
in neat 2 lb. cylindrical rolls, each
wrapped in cloth, similar to the Phila-
delphia mode of putting up butter
