Miss Pettingill's First Ride in the
Cars.

Miss Prudence Pettingill, at the mature
age of sixty.One, made up her mind to
visit New York for the first time in her
life. She had never seen railroad, as
such things had been unknown in AroOs-
took county until this summer and the
ancient farmhouse in which she lived
was seven miles from the station. So
she sits calmly upon seat placed on the
great wooden platform which surrounds
the country depot, and gaZes with amaze
mcnt upon lie train which pauses few
moments to take on passengers, and then
proceeds upon its journey. The station
master interrogates the old lady, who sits
placidIy watching the departing train.
"Why did you not get on, fyou wished
to 20 to New York;
'FGit on" said the old lady" git on

Having explained to her that he plat
form was stationary, the man kindly
advises her to wait for the express train,
into which he escorts the maiden, and
finds for her a seat by the side of benevo-
lent old gentleman. Clutching fast hold
of the seat in front of her, she is at first
very much alarmed at the speed AT which

The strength and nervous energy Of the human
body ought to be increased during the winter, for
two reasons: In the first place, diseases OF the
most deadly character may be generated at this
season and secondly, II II Of the utmost impor-
tance that during the cold weather months the
system should be put in condition to Withstand
the effects OF the Spring miasma, and the subsc-
quent depressing heat Of Summer. It is therefore
advisable in fact essential, to tone. regulate and
inylgorate the digestive and secrciive organs at
this period OF the year, and Of all the stomachcs
and alternatives at present known, IIostetter's
Stomach Biitcrs is the most powerful, the most
harmless, and the most agreeable The tempcra-
ture Of winter would be in itself glorious tonic,

Of chilling moisture and unwhoesome winds,
which have bad effect on the skin and lungs.
These must be guarded against. or there Is no Sc
curity for health. The effect Of course Of the
Bitters is to give vigor and tone TO the entire or
ganization-the superficial muscles and nerves, as
well as the internal vscera. regular habit OF

digestion, a good appetite, pure blood, and vig

blessings derivabe from persistent use OF
Hostettcr's Stomach Bittcrs. which not only more
than supplies the place OF the best tonics, cathGr
tics and antiseptics prescribed in their sepnIat
forms by physicians, but perform the three-folC
work Of invigoration, regulation and purihcation
at one and the same time.

About Corn Fodder.

DIR. NICHOLAS says, in the J0UrHdJ IF
Chemistry, that the corn plant, like all 9th
er vegetable structures, has but one OBJ
ject or aim in its growth, and that is to
produce seed 1t is engaged during its
whole life in storing up large quantities
of starch, which is to be used when the
pressing occasion arrives, or the seed yes
sells mature, to form by some subtle, mys-
terious changes the rich nutrient princi-
plies which are found in seeds AS soon
as this struggle is over, the corn plant,
like all animals, dies natural death 1t
is not necessary for the frost to strike it;
it dies from simple exhaustion. The
proper time to cut and feed corn-stalks Is
during the four or five weeks which sue
ceed inforesence, or in other words they
should not be cut until the flower is fairly
developed, and the ear commences to
form; and any corn that is so planted
that the ear cannot form and mature, is
practically worthless as fodder. Farm
ers may learn from these facts that corn
designed 10 be cut as fodder should be
planted at two or three periods during the
season; some fields quite early, Others
/ somewhat later, and still Others as late a
/ is safe. In this way, when the hot, dry
months of July and August are reached
and the pastures falter supply of fod
der is secured, at the proper stage o
growth to afford the largest amount o
nutriment.

dark sky. The mists of the plain, and
the vapors of the mountain, have been
transformed into well-rounded masses of
clouds, which often conceal thunder and
lightning within their dark, gloomy cavi-
ties. But what mysterious power has
forced them all TO leave the lowly valleys,
to rise higher and higher, and to lose
themselves finally in the blue ether II
is the ascending current of air. For, as
the newly-kindled fire causes powerful
current that rushes up the chimney, and
thus forces the smoke to follow IL up
ward, so the mountain-sides, warmed by
the newly-risen sun, cause the air, which
they heat, to ascend and to carry the clouds
with II high above the Alpine SUBMITS.
Below, in the plain, this air was subjected
to the enormous pressure of the whole
mass of the atmosphere the higher il rises,
the more this pressure diminishes, and
the air, consequently, cools off as II ex-
| pands. II is this expansion of the air OF
! the ascending currents, and its consequent
rapid cooling off, which makes the higher
| regions so cold in comparison with the
| temperature of the valley. Although,
/ therefore, the sun heats the soil on lofty
mountains more powerfully than in the
/ plains, so that Alpine lakes, fed by the
melting of glaciers, never freeze in winter
this advantage is utterly lost by several
causes and the air on high mountains is
considerably cooler than in the plains
These causes are, the more active radia
tion at high elevation, the cold pro
duced by active evaporation, and the colo
caused by the expansion of ascending
currents of air.
The guests of the ilustrious sdc0nt as
sentcd, and thus pleasant chat and {
friendly exchange of views, on brigh

of law which had been unknown before
but which now holds prominent plac
in the favorite science of our day and o

How are the Calves Kept!

THE practical answer to this question
is given in the result, or the quality, when
the animal is ready for market, kept for
the dairy, or for breeding purposes. 1t is
generally expected that calves have
plentiful supply of grass during summer,
but in winter the expense of the food is
not only greater, but more care and labor
are required to provide it in a proper
manner. Rapid deterioration in stock is
evidently the result of bad management,
and poor keeping
All animals mature at about a certain
age, and the size of each depends largely
on the acceleratiOn of growth given dur
ing the growing period Nor is there a
great saving of food in the fattening pro.
cess-as this quality greatly depends on
the previous keeping, as in the starved
growth of animals the power of assimila-
tion is weakened more than the power of
consumption.
There is no animal that pays better for
Il little extra care than the calf nor one
that entails greater loss when neglected in
such manner as to be sent to market in
such condition as to leave but small mar
gin above the freights. The great impOr-
tance of this subject is presented in the
wide range of prices in the Chicago market
at this time We may quote the extreme
range from two to seven dollars per hun
/ dred pounds which difference is exceed
ed by nothing in cattle raising, except in
the management of the stock-the first
| years growth being the most important OF
! all, as calves are more dependent than
older animals which can subsist on less
nutritious food.
Provender should be abundant for the
young animals, but more depends on tho
kind than the quantity.
Where roots arc not grown for winter
supply, even a small quantity of grounC
food, as of oats or course mill-stuff giveI
regularly each day with little salt, will
do wonders in giving tone to the appetite
and the calves will relish and appropriate
food which would otherwise be WORTHLESS
in keeping them in condition.
The main profits of the farm depen,
largely on these little attentions givel
during the winter season when the improy
ident farmer feels that there is but littl
to be done. Give the calves warm quarter
and proper care, and the five dollars dii
ference in the price of beef may be secul
ed to the energetic farmer Western RUTd

THE TREATY.
No Tidings from London Satisfactory tC
the Powers at WashingtOn-The
President Grants his Opinion.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Our govern
ment is in receipt of frequent kilograms
from London, but up to late hour to-
night, nothing is developed. Moth
ing definite on the part of the Brit
ish Government concerning the provi-
siOns of the additional article to the
Treaty of Washington is known. The
Ministry have made notifications, but
of such character as to be inadmiSsible
by our government, and of this
they have been informed. Accord
ing to official utterances, it remains
for England to accept the article as
modified, as this is the extent to which
the President and his advisers are will
ing to 90. The President has, as he re-
marked to inquirers, surrendered his
personal views to what he cOnsiderd a
proper concession, in the desire to save
the treaty in behalf of the financial and
commercial interests of the United
States and to maintain peace between
the two countries. There was a point,
he said, beyond which, further cOnces-
sions would be a sacrifice of the national
honor, and as We had reached that stand,
it remained for England to decide
whether or not the treaty should be
abandoned. Last Friday there was a
hope of British acquiescence, if such
had been the case, treaty would have
been negotiated between Secretary Fish
and Thornton, ratified by the Senate the
same day and forwarded TO London
for further official action and then dis
patched to Geneva for the meeting of
the tribunal of arbitratds on the fif-
teenth; but it is now too late to accom-
plish any effect by that time, as the
treaty could be transmitted only by
mail. The agent of each party is re-
quired to deliver in duplicate to each of
the arbitrators and to the agent of the
other party a written or printed argu-
ment, showing the points and referring
to the evidence upon which his govern
ment relies, and this will be done by our
agent, irrespective of the unsettled ques-
ton between the two governments. 1t
remains to be seen whether there will be
any interruption of ftheproceedings before
the tribunal by the British ministry.
The arbiters have the power to adjourn
on the fifteenth to such day as they
may think proper, in order to accommO-
date themselves to the circumstances Of
the business before them, and to await
the further action of the two govern
ments, should there be a prospect of re-
conciling the present differences. 1t is
the opinion of eminent gentlemen that
the new treaty is not absolutely neces-
sary to adjust difficulties, as this may
be done by two nations by instructions
to their respective agents.
