DALLAS, SATURDAY, NOV. 80.
A state Ruled by Women.

Among the Holland possessions tn re
is remarkable little State which, in
its constitution and original costumes
BY it's Inhabitants, surpasses the boldest
dreams of American emancipation
ladies. Upon the Island Of Java, be-
tween the cities Of Batavia and Sama-
rang, lies the kingdom of Rantam.
Although tributary to Holland, it is an
independent State, politically without
Importance, yet happy, rich, and since
time itnmemorial, governed and defend
ed by women The sovereign is indeed
D man, but all the rest of the govern :
1neht belongs to the fair sex. The
King is entirely dependent upon his
state council, composed of three women.
The highest authorities, ,all State officers
court functionaries, military command
ers, and soldiers are, without exception
of the female sex. The men are agri>
culturists and merchants. The body
guard of the King is formed of the
female elite. These amazons ride in
the masculine style, wearing sharp steel
points instead of spurs. They carry a
pointed lance, which they swing very
gracefu.ly and also musket which is
discharged at full gallop. Ihe throne
is inherited by the eldest son, aud in
case the King dies without issue, a
u hundred elected amazons assemble,
In order to choose successor among
their own sons. The capital city of
this little State lies in one oc the most
picturesque parts of the island, in a
fruitful plain, and is defended by two
well kept fogsresses.- GALAXY

As immense numbers Of mules are being from
time to time thrown on the market by the Gov
ernment, in consequence Of the close of the war
mails whose services are no longer required, it
becomes matter of some moment to know what
size mules arc the best for farm labor. There
cannot he any doubt whatever that for agricul-
tural purposes all soils except heavy clays,
and where extraordinary draft is required, mules,
in point of easy keeping, hardness, endurance
and longevity, are in some respects superior, and
in many respects equal to the generality Of the
horse. The objections to mules arc that they arc
difficult to break in, and are occasionally vicious
and obstinate. Tehese are defects that may
readily be gotten rid Of by careful and considerate
training, and when we'll broken there is no ami
NAL more useful The fancy, however, of many
purchasers Of mules has been for animals of q
large size, and stock rasers, to meet this demand
have endeavOred to breed them to heavy bone
and by high feeding and pampering to approx
mate them to the size of horses. Now those who
expect such mules to be smart and active will
be disappointed.
The very manner in which their growth has
been forced, predspOses them to diseases to which
mules are not otherwise often liable, and renders
them lazy and slow. In such cases much has been
The best mule is one that is of medium seze, with
neat firm leg, round body, and with his limb
well set up for easy motion, and full, intelligent,
but not vicious eye. These are the mules which
should he selected for general use, aud not those
large coarse animals that usually sell for high
prices, but are in no respects equal to the horse
for which they are substituted, whether as re-
CARDS power Of draft, economy of feed, or freedom
from defects.

observation is confirmed by the experience Of all

THE Toledo Blade tells good story of Mrs.
Mullane, who was taken with cholera and died
in six hours, leaving an empty whisky bottle at
the head of her bed. Her relatives and particular
friends held "wakc" over the body. Matters
went very well, but at midnight, when the fun
grew fast and furious, suddenly there came q
tapping, as of some one loudly rapping inside the
coffin lid. Then the hairs of each individual sep
arately stuck ont as stiff as wires The watchers
were breatlless, but the voice of the dead broke
ont, shrill and angrily: "Pat! ye haste! git over
t'yer own side Nv the bed! There's niver bit
ir room for me, atwixt ye an the WALL" Pat
looked solemn, and the wife raised up in the coff
in, and was somewhat shocked on discovering the
bad box she had got into. She still lives to teach
her husband better manners than "to bury da-
clint woman with her sins in her body"

A Jury sf HE Peers.

There dwelt some years ago In Bourbon county,
Kentucky, q drunken, worthless, one-eyed fellow
named c. whose chief occupations were get
ting tipsy and fighting. There had just been
elected q new prosecuting attorney, who was en-
titled to a part of the fines which might be i'm
posed on the malefactors of Bourbon, and he de-
fermined to squeIch old c.. He did not wait
long for an opportunity to have him arrested.
B., the constable, said, as it was an important
case, be wanted about three days to get m ap-
propriate jury to try it. On the third day the
new attorney was informed that things were
ready at the court house. There was the judge,
and behind him the constable. On one side sat
old one-eyed c.; on the other the twelve jury
men, "jess like him" on benches forming TRAN
gle each with plug of tobacco and jack-knife the
gift of the constable, whiting away, and, &C.
cording to order, splitting to the centre. The as
tonished prosecutor looked at the jury, and ex-
claimed:
"Where did the constable get this jury?'
The constable quietly replied: 81 thought the
prisoner was entitled to be tried by jury of his
peers, and I've been out three days hunting 'em
up. I've got twelve here but if you don't like
'em, I've got twelve more outside waiting"
The prosecutor looked out and saw, seated on
the fence, twelve more dittos similarly equipped
and employed. He turned to the court in undis-
guised wrath, and said:
an dismiss this casep
The constable wrote his return on the warrant
thus: Dismissed by the County attorney on sight
of the jury, and IL stands recorded to this day.
The prisoner was discharged, and left the court
house rejoicing at having been deprived of his
constitutional right of being tried by the previ-
ously mentioned citizens.

To prepare strawberry bed that will yield
after the second year. at the rate Of three four
hundred bushels per acre-subsOl after covering
the ground with we'll rotted farm manure, and
under-drain if necessary.
In setting out the plants for small garden patch
es, put them in rows two feet apart; for field
culture, two by three feet. Cnt back the roots
to two inches of the crown, and shade and water
them till they begin to grow. tt
The time for transplanting them should be as
early as possible in the Fall or Spring.
Mulch lightly with vegetable mould on setting
out the plants. Keep off the runners, and keep
the bed clear of grass and weeds; about the mid
die of November top dress the bed with compost
of wood ashes, lime and salt. Proportions-Three
times as much Stacked lime rs salt, and twice as
much unleached ashes as lime. Four quarts of
the compost will be sufficient for twenty feet
square. Be careful that the compost does not
come in contact with the plants. Then cover
the bed three or four inches deep with partially
decayed forest leaves or cut straw, leaving the
crown Of the plant little exposed to the atmos-
Phere. Do not move the ground till after fruit
ing in the spring.
