An old farmer says, the practice Of
coating the bark Of fruit and ornamental
trees with wiiewash, is one that cannot
be too severely deprecated. The Oh.
structioo Of respiratory organs and orifi-
ees, whether effected BY the application
Of whiteWash or any other adhesive
material, always acts as a fruitful source
o. disease, and in times proves fatal to
the tree When the bark becomes
rough or iucrus,ed with moss, i, should
be scraped aud washed down thoroughly
with solution Of potash or soda 10
water, sffording smoothness to the sur
face without obstructing the pores.

Worms in Horses.

A valued correspondent sends US the
following. which, though not set down
in veterinary authorities, viii be found
very efhrseioas as a remedial ageot:
The chief remedies used for the eI
pulsioB Of worms are wood ashes, pop
lar bark, sBlphar, salt, castor oil, tur-
peuiine, eaioHel, tartar emetic, aud
aloes-either Of which viii sometimes
bring away a quantity Of worms. But
the difficulty does not end here; the
worms will generate 20 long as that
morbid habit which gives rise to them
exists. Hence the course invariably
pursued is to change the morbid habit
BY alternatives and vermifages combined.
The following is good example Of the
same White mustard seed whole /;

Wormseea, (eheaoPodieHu antkeiniH-

SENATOR SUMNER AT Hrs Posr.-Senator
Sumner is at his post in Washington, with re-
newed health and strength after his European
trip. In conversation with HERALD corre-
spondent published to-day, he avows his de-
termination to push through his Civil Rights
bill, defeated by his republican associates last
session, and declares that it shall yet have a
place in the statute book Of the nation. He
also intends to advocate the abolition Of the
Electoral College and direct vote for Presi-
dent by the people. After the steady and
united support given to President Grant by
the colored voters Of the United States, it will
be difficult for any republican now to oppose
the Civil Rights bill, nor can the democrats
consistently fight it in view of their Cincin-
nati-Baltimore platform and their support Of
the lamented Mr. Greeley. We shall there
fore be prepared to see Mr.. Sumner succeed
at last with his civil rights for the Southern
blacks, and we shall not be surprised if his
proposition for direct Presidential vote meets
with popular approval.

TIE MORTAL RELICS OF HORACE GREELEY
were laid yesterday in the house Of his friend,
Mr.. Sinclair where hundreds of those near
and dear to him united in sincere sorrow for
the illustrious dead with those of his blood
who mourned their truly irreparable loss,
Strong men wept on beholding the white face
of the departed sage, beautiful in DEATH The
contrast between the sturdy, hopeful, intel
lectual giant of q few short months ago and
the silent shrouded form before them was too
much for dry eyes. It is announced that the
remains will lie in state throughout the day on
Tuesday at such place as shall be given in to-
morrow's papers, and that the funeral will
take place on Wednesday at eleven A. M.
The New York herald., 1872-12-02

his advantages for taking the initiative are
such as no other President has possessed
since Monroe.
General Grant is expected to establish
civil service reform which will put an end to
the demoralizing scrambles for the spoils and
plunder which, since the time of jackson, be-
tween the outs and the ins, have been the
especial scandal of our popular institutions.
Give as civil service in which fitness for the
Office will be the law of the appointment, and
the bascr elements of our political contests
the idlers, hangers-on, vagabonds and rufians
who do the dirty work of scheming and reck-
less politicians-will be disbanded and dis
persed. Give the Southern States the generous
peace offering of universal amnesty and you
army from the supervision Of their local
afairs Proceed to that broad and fraternal
line Of action in reference to the New Dominion
and Cuba and Mexico and Central America,
which will have for its ulimatum an
American league of independent republics,
and our manifest destiny will soon
be developed to our government as
the fountain head and the defender and
moderator of this true American system. The
Monroe doctrine of European non-intervention
in American affairs removed Louis Napolcon's
French protectorate from Mexico but now
we want declaration of the new doctrine
from General Grant that the American policy
of the United States is not the absorption Of
Canada Cuba or Mexico, but such assistance
and influence as we may properly give to make
those countries independent and self-sustain-
ing republics.
None of these questions we presume, for the
reasons given, will be acted upon during this
short session of Congress. But, as it is ex-
pected that the law will be restored for the
meeting of the new Congress on the 4th Of
March, it will be wise for the President to pre-
pare for this contingency, because the country
desires that he, too, with his Inauguration for
another Presidential term. shall take new
departure, embracing not only new Cabinet,
but new, positive and progressive policy
upon oil the leading issues of the day touching
our relations and our interests at homo and
abroad

WAR AGAINST the liberal republicans in the
senate is already declared. 1t has been pro-
claimed that Schurz will be removed from the
committee on Foreign Relations, Trumbull
from the Craftsmanship of the Judiciary Com
mittee, Upton from the Committee on PEN
sions, and Fenton will be obliged to take a
back seat These Senators, it is averred, will
lose nearly all the patronage they have hitherto
possessed, which, by the way, has not
amounted to much for some time.

The PLYMOUTH MEMORIAL. very prac-
tical and philanthropic direction in which the
members Of Plymouth church intend to COM
memorate Mr.. Beecher's quarter Of century
pastorate received its first tangible advance
yesterday in the subscription of thirty thou
sand dollars toward the fifty thou
sand dollars to be raised. II was
a noble subscription, but not more
noble than the purpose for which it is de-
signed, and the cause and the cost must GER
tainly commend themselves alike to the hearts
and to the pockets of the rich men Of Ply
mouth church and congregation. And
we have no fear that the remain
ing twenty thousand dollars will not be
forthcoming in time. Men Of wealth cannot
spend their money better than by erecting liv-
ing monuments to themselves which they may
rejoice in years before they die, and Ply
mouth church has set an example that might
be proftably initiated by others.

The DANGERS OF THE DEEp.-A distressing
casualty occurred in the Bay at an early
hour yesterday morning. A five-hundred-ton
schooner, the Charles H. Mollett, foundered
in gale Of wind, and Of her crew of five men
one was drowned, a second frozen to death,
and the remaining three were only rescued
after they had undergone intense suffering
from the cold and when life was almost
extinct. The poor fellows were within signal
of Sandy Hook when their vessel went down.
Those who were saved chung to the rigging;
but the schooner had sunk on her beam ends
and was lurching over from side to side with
the force of the waves, plunging them at
intervals into the water. When morning
dawned the land was discovered close by, but
was only mockery to the survivors. One
unfortunate froze to death in the rigging.
The story Of their sufferings is graphically
told elsewhere.
The New York herald., 1872-12-02

SHOULD SENATOR FENToN RESIGN Some
Washington politicians are advising Sena-
tor Fenton to resign his seat in the
United States Senate and 90 home.
Senator Fenton should do no such thing.
He is q shrewd, sharp legislator and
his experience in legislation, as well as
his intimate acquaintance with the policy and
motives Of his former political associates, will
be Of much value in the opposition ranks. AS
an old republican he will act with Senators
Sumner, Upton and other liberals; and if they
can make up their minds to give President
Grants administration genuine, dsinterestcd
support in all good measures and to oppose
and expsse all corrupt Legislation, they will do
good service to the country and help to lay
the foundation of political organization that
may yet become power in the land
