WASHINGTON AS A FARMEH.-The.

Vernon, contained ten thousand acres,
in one boJy-equal TO about fifteen
square miles. 1t was divided into
farms of convenient size, at the dis.
tance of two, three and five miles.
from the mansion house. He visited
these farms every day, in pleasant
weather, and was constantly engaged
in making experiments for the i'm
provement of agriculture. Some idea
Of the extent of his farming operations
may be formed from the following
facts In 1887 he had fvc hundred
and eighty acres in grass sowed six
hundred bushels of oats seven hun
dred acres with wheat--and as much
more in corn, barley, potatoes, beans,
peas, &C., and one hundred and fifty
with turnips. His stock consisted Of
one hundred and forty horses; one
hundred and twelve cows; two hun
hundred and thirty.six working oxen,
heilers and steers, and five hundred
sheep. He constantly employed two
hundred and City hands, and kept
twenty four piows going during tho
whole year, when the earth and state
of the weather would permit In
1850 he slaughtered one hundred and
fiiy hogs tor the usc ofhis own family,
and provisions for his negroes.

DEATH OF A FaIEND OF CARL scnuRz.

DEATH OF A FRIEND OF CARL ScHURz.
The romantic fight of the agitator
Kinkel from the prison at Spandau
excited much interest at the time
Ono of the men who aided his escape,
says the Pail Mall Gasett, has just
died at Strehlen, near Dresden. He
was a landed proprietor, Adolphe
Hensel by name, and his share in Kin
kel's fight was never discovered till
his death. Tho Tolks Zeitung relates
the story as follows:
"On the night of November s, 1859,
Hensel, disguised as a coachman, sat
waiting, on the box of a carriage close
by the house of correction at Spandau,
ready to drive away at moments
notice. lie was accompanied by Carl
Schurz and DR.. Fricdenthal and with
them saw Kinkel let himself down
with rope from the giddy height Of
drove off at a tearing gallop with
Schurz and Kinkel soon after mid
night. He had chosen his strongest
and swiftest horses. They pressed
on without moments rest to Gransee,
a village eight German miles from
Spandau. Here the hungry and ex-
haustcd horses were baited, and at
eight o clock of November 8 the fugi-
tivcs reached the frontier of Strelitz,
and arrived at Austerlitz, and the fugi'
tives went to Rostock, from which
place, as is well known, they embark
cd for England. The police never
succeeded in identifying the coach
man, without whose assistance the
escape could scarcely have been effect,
cd, and Henscl never experienced any
molestation from the authorities"

over ruling power. We may boast.
"Thc sohl 10 do--the will to dare"
whilst We are every hour admonished
of our weakness, our infancy, and
sometimes fancy, smilo from a sun
beam taunts us with our infrmities.
There is struggle ever prominent,
and lifc after all is a riddle, and mcm-
ory finds no grave wherein to bury
itself; it is life's perspective that ever
keeps us on the vigil, well aware ofits
revealing, yet unconscious OF Its effect;
it's well-for the mysteries are not
wise 10 dwell on. That which ia best
Of US looks to kindly future, where,
from carth's frailtities, we shall renew
our knowledge of the spiritual were
it but for the sake Of justice, We must
believe in better world. This lifo
has its limit, and plainly is written all
through its pages. Vanity of vani-
ties. 1t is n requital we claim, and
when this busy, excited pilgrimage
that SO engrosses us is DER, there is
an internal feeling that tho spiritual
shall be more perfect in it's part our
natures are allied TO His, and 'tpere a
mockery 10 believe that He would uioLats
His mighty work. The lasting works
of Philosophy and Poetry all breathe
the same strain, and their influence is
felt and the Impressions stamped upon
each action, and if its power is undo
veloped here, it will be reserved for q
higher sphere and it is no visionary
hopo--it is born Of Truth.
A voice in the air and music breath
of the wind are full of strange proph.
ecies and life with expectations aud
emotions, oaoll growing strvngcr, aud
yet controlled by eternal law. We
could point to many examples of life
its teachings, its dazzling errors, false
principles laid down, delusions sup
portcd-but of what availy tho ma
chinery moves the same, and the cter-
nal wand strikes where il wills. Do
80 not at times pause over existence?
the past has its sorrows, the present
its weariness, the future is mingled
with hope and dread; and when such
pause is made, we feel bitterly our in.
Yet in the many paths
Of life, mapped and varied in form, we
fain would cling to the sunny side, We
would not, dare not feel our generous
beliefs sharpened into incredulity,
warm feelings turned to poison, or
worse, far worse. TO avoid. Trust 10
the good, and divide not the Empire
between bitterness and exhaustion
entertaining this hope Of life, how diff
fercnt the aspect IL wears, and in cast
ing this view upon it, what won-
drous light looms up in the future
the farther it extends the more bril-
liant its hues. No sectarian advantage
is claimed, no petty benefit before as;
we see in it all ono grand revelation,
the regeneration of mankind.

Committee to Announce his Nomination
The Lincoln Club DOOlittle's Address
to GreeIey-Mr. Greeley's Reply.
New YORK, July l2.-The committee an
pointed by the Baltimore convention to an
nounce to Horace Greeley In nomination,
assembled at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this
morning, every member present Soon af-
ter twelve o'clock Ji4e committee proeeeded
to the Lincoln Club to neot NTr GraeIay
who was present with two or three II1e-Ss =
to receive them. Senator DoOlittle, adj
dressing Mr.. Geeley, said:
The National Democratic Convention had
devOlved upon the committee now present
the pleasing duty to wait upon him in per-
son to notify him of his unanimous nomina-
ton for the Presidency by that convention,
official notification of which he now pre-
sented to him. Published reports of the
proceedings showed there was great unan-
unity, but only those who participated in
them had any idea of the enthusiasm
with which it was determined to gus-
tain the Liberal Republican movement,
and to support the principles contained in
the Cincinnati platform, and they felt that
the surest- means of doing so was to nomi-
nate and elect the same candidate. He
then introd uced each member of the CON-
mittee to Mr.. Greeley, and after a cordial
greeting he replied to the announcements,
Mr.. Greeley said that perhaps it needed
more BlLle anu COHSRtLbFhblOn .peIUE6 reply
ing fully to such an important communicas
tiOn; it may be that he should have re-
piled in writing, but inasmuch as
he had addressed letter to the commit
l-tes of another convention which had
been extensively published, perhaps it was
not necessary that 70 should, at this time,
make formal and irl reply. He accepted
the nomination, he said, and with more
pleasure from the gratifying spirit
with which it was presented. His posi-
ton was a proud me, and it was
nevertheless, an embarrassing one, but
he trusted this embarrassment was
only temporary. 1t subjected him to
miscOnstruction on the part of valued and
lifelong friends, but he was assured that
time only was necessary 10 vindicate the
motives and disinterested aud patriotic
course he had determined to pursue; before
he received such hearty cooperation.
While you (said Mr. Greeley, in making
this nomination are not less Democratic
but even more so than had you taken the
opposite COURSE |, IN accepting it,, was as
much a Republican as / ever was. ZAP
| plause.J He was not much accustomed, he
! said, to receive nominations for President;
if he had been, he probably could have
responded more fitly. This was all he had
to spy, except to inyite.the members 81 the
committee, or as many of them So aeuId
make it eOnvenient to visit hiIn at hia farm
at Chappaqua. He could ASSURE them 0f X
warm welcome; he should be there ia. or
row, and then they could consult and con
fer more freely at that time. The commit
tee then withdrew, and Mr.. Greeley made
a brief visit to the National Committee Of
Liberal Republicans.

years since / went forth as a lad from the
