Who are Esquiresl

The present use of the distinction
Esquire" conveys not the remotest
idea of its origin, or appropriation, in
past ages. The esquire originated in
chivalric times, when the sons of gen.
tlemen, from the age of seven years,
were brought up in the castles of SUI
periOr lords, which was an inestimahle
advantage to the poorer nobility, who
could hardly otherwise have given
their children the accomplishments of
their station. From seven to fourteen.
these boys were called pages, or Wallets;
at fourteen they bore the name of es-
quise. They were instructed in the
management of arms, in the art of
horsemanship, in excl ises of strength
and activity, so as to fit them for the
tournament and battle, and the milder
glories of chivalrous gallantry. Long
after the decline of chivalfy, the word
esquire was only used in a limited
sense-fOr the SONS of peers and
Knights, or such as obtained the title
by creation, or some other legal means.
Blackstone defines esquires to he all
who bear office or trust under the
crown, and who are styled esquires by
the king in their commissions and
appointments; and iseing once honor
ed by the king with the title of esquire,
they have a right to that distinction
for life,

A Dry PeOp:e-The Fluids Used by
Americans for Internal Irrigation.

1t is to be regretted that figures do
not lie when they record the extent of
liquor drinking in this country. Under
the returns made by the census it ap-
pears that in addition to the 63, 314 ,627
gallons of homemade spirits, and u
I59, 74O barrels of fermenied liquors on
which taxes were paid in 1871 there, was
imported of wine, 8, 7S8, 1888 gallons and
431, 562 dozen bottles of spirits. 1922
326 gallons and Ia, 667 dozen bottles !;
and of malt liquors, s32, 431 gallons. 1t
appears, furthermore, that the consum-
ers put about 500, 100 every year
into the pockets of the dealers. The
proportion of those licensed to sell
liquors is about one in every $50 of the
population, and those who have figured
very closely claim that every eighty
drinkers support drinking establish
ment, and consume 400 gallons of wine
and 1000 of beer annually.
The State of New York has %, TAG
licensed sellers, or one for every $50 OF
its population, while one in sixty to
one in ninety of its people are engaged
in these liquor stores. The city OF
New York has 7,1Sl licensed sellers OF
drink, or one for 40 of the population,
while one in fifty 10 one in seventy are
engaged in drink-selling. Massachu-
sets in 1871 had 8,622 of its people
licensed to sell, and one in every
eIghty-five engaged in selling drink.
Pennsylvania has 14fi31 licensed, OF
one to every 210. Maine has 1858, OF
one in 600. AS to the other States, the
range is between 100 to 200 and one in

Keep the Cattle Growing.

The most successful breeders OF
horses, cattle, sheep or swine, know
from experience that although they may
possess the best breeding animals, they
will not be successful in producing su-
perior stock if continuous growth OF
the young animals is not kept up. In
order to begin in time at this indispen-
sable preparation for success, the brood
mares, cows, ewes, and sows are most
carefully and suitably fed while with
young, and as soon as the young ami
mails make their appearance, they are
taken the greatest care of, the dams be-
ing suitably fed while sucking, and
when the young ones are weaned, thoy
are not supposed to want for food or
drink single hour.
By this means continuous or rapid
growth is kept up, and the animals at
tain large size and heavy weight at an
early age. When breeding animals are
not properly fed and comfortably shell
tered in winter, the bad effect of such
treatment is not confined to their own
want of condition-it is shared by their
progeny, and can never be remedied.
When young stock are not fed well and
comfortably sheltered in winter, their
growth becomes stunted, and no subse-
quent amount of good treatment can re-
pair the damage. Young animals may
suffer for want of proper provender in
summer and autumn, as well as in win
ter, and when this happens it stops con-
tinuous growth, and prevents ultimate
success in the object of the breeder

Cause of Failure of Manures.

If q physician were to state as his sys-
tenn of practice that he made his pa
tients adapt themselves to the medicine
instead of suiting the medicine to the
nature of the disease he would be quick
Iy called fool; if shoemaker had but
one last upon which he insisted he could
fit all persons, he would have but little
custom and equally with these in
stances is every case where any one at
tempts to make Ole fixed rule the stand
ard for every one and everything. Yet
we daily see farmers complaining that
they havesput such manure in snch a
crop on such n soil, and have gotten no
good results. The consequence is they
declare that the manure is worthless,
when really the fault WAS their own.
They MANFRED crop with fertilizer,
which WAS not intended for it. To this
one thing is to be attributed many of
the complaints which farmers make
about faulty manures, and their varied
opinions about the action of this or that
fertilizer. Another cause is not study
ing the nature of the soil in which they
put manure.
AS an instance of this, we have known
persons state that superphosphate was
worthless because there was no effect in
the grass on a pasture which had been
lined the previous fall. The simple
reason was, superphosphate contains
soluble phosphoric acid; the lime is in
the soil undecomposed; the phosphoric
acid is held in its combination by the
sulphuric acid which made it soluble,
but when put in soil that has lime in it
the phosphoric acid will Immediately
leave the sulphuric acid and take TO the
lime, forming an insoluble phosphate of
lime. In this it again becomes soluble
and then the crops feel its influence. A
knowledge of this fact would, firstly,
have kept the farmer from putting the
sulperphosphate on land that had been
SO recently lined; and if he had been
so foolish, would have shown him why
he should not condemn the manufactur-
er. In the same manner q farmer will
put ashes on a clay soil. most likely al
ready containing an abundance of that
chemical, and complain that they have
not benefited the crop. Another puts
them on soil which has much silica,
and finds them of great value. There is
a fitness in all things, is the old pro-
verb, and in nothing more than in an
adaptation of the manure to the soil and

The Initiative Faculty.

Monkeys are noted for their extraordi-
nary powers of imitation. and many stories
are told of their grotesque freaks, which
often end disastrously to themselves. We
contemn them for this peculiarity-bu,
with what show of justice Men have
minds, and can govern themselves more
wisely; yet there is n strong resemblance
between the two species in this respect
Man is unconsciously initiative. Did you
ever observe, while sitting in a church, or
theatre, or other public building, that one
yawn, one cough, one sneeze, is sure 10 set
the whole assemblage yawning coughing
or sneezing, and that quite unconsciously ?
A popular lecturer, alluding to mans mi
tative instinct, relates several interesting
anecdotes. When he was studying at Bris-
toll Infrmary, all the servant girls there
had a tendency to fall into hysteric fits
whenever certain one of their number
who was liable to them, fell into one. 1t
was invariably cured by threatening any
girl who, when the said woman became
hysterical, followed suit, with a shower
bath. The remedy once fixed on never
had to be applied. In ar Infrmary in
Amsterdam, a similar contagion of convul-
sions prevailed until the doctor announced
that it had been decided that the only
remedy for commissions was burning the
arm with hot poker. There were no
more commissions. In French nunnery
there was a mania for mewing like eats,
cured by soldiers being brought with birch
rods to use on the first nun who should

mania similarly stopped All these
manias were due to the lack of complete
control over the will

rule, she developes into a virulent wasp,
makes her husband miserable, and
brings her chill iren up badly. 1t il not
very difficult to find reasons why flirts
do not marry. Sensible men admire
i'm woman something more than a
pretty face and engaging manners.
They love intellect, common sense,
and heart qualifications, which the fiirt
does not possess. The true woman al
lows her affections full play, and is not
ashamed of them. She will not lead q
man to believe she cares for him when
she does no such thing; she will not

Texas as a WoOl.Grow ing Country.

We are indebted to the Woot Circss-
Tar of Mr.. Trenchard, of San Antonio,
which he has kindly sent US, for some
valuable statistics as to the crop of
Texas wool for 1871. He has with care
collected the receipts of wool raised in
Texas, at the ports of Corpus Christi,
Rockport, Indianola, and Galveston,
and gives the sum total at 3,076, 500
pounds considering the home con-
sumption and shipments from other
points in Texas, we think it safe TO es-
innate the crop of 1872 at 5000, goo of
pounds. The Circular says:
There is not a State in the Union so
well adapted to the cheap production
of wool az our own. Our mild climate
and the grazing for this stock, which
Texas can furnish, is destined to make
her the largest wool-producing State
in the Union. Sheep thrive well, and
with proper care are kept healthy all
the year round. and it only needs
enterprise TO make it very profitable.
