THE CAPITAL.
The bill for the removal of the Cap
ital was not reached in the Senate to-
day, and is still in the hands OF the
Judiciary Committee, which committee
it was referred to yesterday under the
rales of the Senate. Further action on
the bill will be postponed until after re-
cess. 1t is confidently expected by
those who are in a position to know,
that, upon the resssembling OF
the Senate the bill will pass without
any trouble. The talk about Psrkers-
burg intending to sell out Wheeling in
the Senate, and the sundry illusions
made to the story in which the monkey,
the chestnuts and the cats paw are in
timately associated, has proven to be all
bosh. Parkersburg will stand by
Wheeling in this fight, aud she won

friends OF Wheeling.

Monday, or at least that is the way the
members all talk now. They are all
anxious to eat their Christmas dinners

Artificial Rain.

In England, where experimental
agriculture is carried to an extent al
most unknown with US, the invention
of methods of irrigation has been very
ingenious. At Stoke ParF, a tract of
twenty acres is irrigated by artificial
rain, the system being quite success
full. The water was applied every
night last summer in showers, except
when natural rain made it umnecessa-
ry. The apparatus consist of pipes
laid in the ground, supplied from an
elevated reservoir, into which water
is pumped by machinery. The finan-
cial exhibits made by the results of the
experiment is said to be q good one.
The interest on the money invested in
the necessary machinery, and the cost
of operating it, aggregated S95 per
acre Tor the entire tract of twenty
acre. Likewise the income per acre
aggregated $500, being made up of the
proceeds of one crop of grass and graz
ing in autumn of 1870, and two crops
of hay in 1871. The net profit was
thus sos per acre. On land of the
same tract and same character, used
for the same purpose, but where the
irrigation was omitted, the net profit
per acre was $45.

Keep Out of Debt.

Half the perplexIty, annoyance and
trouble that men have in this world IS
in consequence of getting into debt.
1t seems TO be natural for some people
to buy and incur obligations without
measure, so long as they can avoid
paving ready cash. Give one of this
sort a chance to buy on credit, and the
questions Of price and conditions OF
payment are matters that he cares lit
tie about. But what a crop of trouble
springs from the seed of debt? How
many sleepless nights result from it?
How many gray hairs it brings, and
how often it shOrtens life ?-sOmetime
leading men to commit suicide or muir
der. And yet, how easy a thing to
keep clear of this terrible monster
Every young man should form a fixed
and unalterable determination, before
commencing an active business career,
not to incur one penny of Indebtedness
under any circumstances. Never Dor
row. Never buy anything unless you
have the money to pay for it at once.
Pay no attention to splendid opportu-
mites, y bargains" ''rare chances, "
and the ike. Such affairs are only the
traps which debt sets to catch victims.
If you see anything that you would
like to buy, or if any offer is made that
you would like to accept, first look al
your money pile and make the answer
depend upon that. Always pay as you
go. If you are short of money, yoU
| gauge your demands accordingly
Foster habits of economy, live within
your means, buy nothing that you can
not properly afford, and you VIII go OF
| through life free from the miseries thai
ever beset the path of the debtor.

To Catch Cut-WOrms-

It is very annoying, says the Rural
CdrOliniG1e, after having set out nice
lot of sweet potato or cabbage plants
to see them cut down, one by one, by
cut-wOrms. We have tried ashes,
lime, SCOT, and in fact, everything we
have heard of, but never found any
thing effectual until, by accident, we
found three or four of the worms one
morning, gathered under a small
lylar'I which had been left by some
children on sweet potato hill. Act
ing upon this hint, we placed small
pieces of board, large chips, ETC., all
through the patch, and we trapped
them by hundreds. The boards must
be lifted early in the morning, and on
very warm days, again about noon.
A little care, for few days, viii clear
these pests out of the garden One
trial will satisfy any person of the
merits of this plan.
