DANIEL WEBsTER's ADVICE. - Other
young people may find the advice OF
Daniel Webster to his grandson OF value
for themselves. He wrote it about four
wears before his death Two or three
things I wish now to impress on your
mind. First, you cannot learn without
YOUR own efforts. All the teachers in
the world can never make scholar OF
you, if you do not apply yourself with
all your might. In the second place, be
of good character and good behavior
4 boy of strict truth, and honor. and
conscience in all things. Have but one
rule, and let that be always to act right,
and fear nothing - but wrong doing.
Finally, remember your Creator in
the days of your youth" You are old
enough to know that God has made you
and given you mind and faculties; and
will surely call you to account. Honor
and obey SouE parents ; love your sister
an 4 brother be gentle and kind to all
avoid peevishness and fretfulness be
patient under restraint. Look forward
constantly to your approaching man
hood, and put off every day more ant
more all that is frivolous and childish.

EGG EATING HENS. "A writer in the
Jsurnal of Horticulture advises any one
who is troubled with hens eating their
eggs to break an egg and dust the con-
tents with Cayenne pepper, turning the
egg round. so as to get the pepper
before the yoik, if possible, and leave
the egg in the offenders nest. Or, if
he catches her in the act of eating an
egg, let him drive her away quietly,
and place pepper in he remainder OF
the egg, endeavoring, as stated above, to
get the pepper underneath. He WI

Serious Distress In England.

A letter from the London correspon,
dent of the Herald regards the prospects
ahead during the coming winter for the
English poor as very gloomy indeed.
The kilograms and mail accounts recently
have spoken of the advance in the price
of fuel. Coal has gone up" as the
saying is, and whether the advance in
price arises from falling off in the yield,
increased consumption by the manufac-
tories, or by reason of the conflicts be-
tween the miners and their masters, the
fact remains the same, that coal has
enormously risen in price from the rates
charged last year. This of itself would
prove a hardship, especially to the
poorer classes but then there are other
misfortunes still more distressing. The
potato crop has failed generally through
out the British Isles. The accounts from
the agricultural districts in the English
shires is of the most distressing char
acter. A writer in one of the agricul-
tural papers of England estimates that
1880, 900 acres of the potato crop are all
but destroyed, while another equally
good authority declares that he GO hardly
ever remembers the malady so general
and the destruction so complete" In
Ireland and Scotland the crop is also
blighted, possibly not to the same extent
as in England, but sufficiently extensive
to be severely felt by the poorer classes
in both countries. The foot and mouth
disease among the cattle is another
cause for alarm. The disease, which
made itself manifest to considerable
extent last year, has now re-appeared in
still greater proportions. In Norfolk, in
two weeks, the loss in sheep alone
amounted in value to oven one hundred
and twelve thousand dollars. Taking
everything into consideration, and with
these facts before us, it is evident that
the approach of winter is regarded with
feelings of dread by the poor, hard
worked and ill paid mechanics, laborers
and working people of England, Ireland
and Scotland.

New YORK." Could the spirit Of one
who once bought the Island OF Manhat-
tan for S24 revisit it, what would be his
sensations III witnessing especially the
improvements in the 10Th century? Well,
he might think that he would have be-

in low-priced securities he would have
had an infinitely better speculation.
Calculating the rate of interest during

The Alabama Claims.


The court of Arbitration appointed for
the settlement of the Alabama claims be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
declined to admit the principle contended
for by the American counsel in the pro-
position that England is responsible in
general for the escape of the Anglo
American confederate cruisers from her
ports, on the ground of non-e1ercise OF
due diligence. or that there was any dis
position evinced by the English authorities
to connive at general infraction of the
Queens neutrality, during the moments
of the escape of the vessels.
The Court decided that in the special
cases of certain cruisers submitted by the
Americans there was such want of due
diligence as makes England liable for
their particular acts.
The court of Arbitration rules out from
the record, both of statement and of pro-
ceeding, the case of the privateer Georgia,
and also all matter which has reference to
the cruise of the Shenandoah before
reaching Melbourne, holding the last nam
ed vessel liable only for the capture of the
American whaling ships which have been
already named in the course of the argu-
ment.
The damages awarded is three and a
quarter millions of pounds sterling, or six
teen millions, two hundred and fifty thou
sand American dollars in gold, one half
of the account footed up for the losses
sustained by the Alabama.
The judgement is signed by all the arbi-
traitors, with the exception of Sir Alexan-
der Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of En-
gland, who gives lengthy dissenting
opinion, accepting the ruling of the Court
in the case of the Alabama, but arguing
that in the case of the other ships there is
no ground for any award against England
whose governmental course throughout
from the first occasion of the premises
was in accordance with international law
and consistent with her neutral obliga-
ton, consistent even with the three rules
of the Treaty of Washington.
The aggregate award in the Alabama
case is SIS, 100000.
The amount awarded to individual
claimants is 81, 800 900, and the amount
awarded the United States for the pur-
suit of the Alabama, Shenandoah and
Florida is about four millions.
On all points of international import
ance the arbitrators are unit, but On the
question OF money award Sir Alexander
Cockburn took opposite views, and Count
Sclopis virtually coincided with him, at
the same time joining with the others in
sustaining the pecuniary award to the
United States.
Mr.. Davis states that the text of the
award of the arbitrators at Geneva has
been publicly announced there.
The United States receive the gross
sum of fifteen and one half millions OF
dollars, (S15, ,5OO,OOO) for losses sustained
by the acts of the Alabama, of the Florida
and of the Shenandoah after leaving
Melbourne.
1t will be recollected that by the terms
of the treaty the amount is payable in
gold at Washington within one year from
the date of the award.

The lotus flower shrinks coyly K
Before the days broad light;
She hangs her head, and, dreaming,
Awaits the kindly night.
The moon, who is her lover,

And fair face to the sky.
She blooms and glows and glimmers,
And dumbly stares above;
She pants and weeps and trembles
With the Joy and pain OF love.

they have not. And the reason is that there

the North against them. Greeley and other
honest Republicans, who have no knowledge
of constitutions and laws except such as they
have picked up in newspapers, and who believe
that the Constitution was never strained, much
less destroyed, by Mr. Lincoln, are in favor Of
universal amnesty. They are satisfied with the
war and with its results. BUT! those men who
know how they have wronged the Southern
people and imposed upon their own, will never
be ready to forgive us for having had the right

Planting for. the Next Crop.

We are informed by our correspondents in
every portion of the cotton-groWing States that
preparations for the next crop are being made
on !, an enlargeds SCALE, and we fear unless this
disposition to expand receives some check, the
South will find that the; coming years work
has resulted in their>grewing poorer instead of
richer. Of course. it is not desirable, and in
fact il M6Sld be very shorthighted policy to
keep the supply OF American cotton short; but,
at the same time, it is worth while for the
planter, WHO sfgiving up everything to cotton,
to consider what sacrifices he is willing to &C
eept for the purpose of furnishing the world
more than it can consume. First, 1t is well TO
remember that provisions have been cheaper
this year than they are likely to be another
twelve months. Prices for corn and pork have
ruled extremely low. This has been very favor
able to the South, and has enabled the latter to
raise the present crop at much smaller cost
than any crop since the war. Higher prices to
be paid for supplies is point worth consider
ing Second From every, side we learn that
there is to be lavish use of fertilizers-judi-
ciously used on limited planting would most
likely resultiin gain; but from the evidence
received on this point we fear that the expert
ence of 1870 is to be repeated, resulting in q
further increase in the expense ACCOUNT. Third:
Then again, with large crop, the cost of the
labor to work it will be increased. Contracts
are at present, we understand, being made With
the freedmen at about last years rates but,
when the busy season comes and extra help is
called in, there will be increased competition
and consequently increased wages to be paid.
Here, then, are three causes operating to en-
nance the cost of the present crop to the plant
er. Fourth: On the other hand, suppose a
five million crop is received, what can we reas-
onably expect the price will beF Planters, we
know, are many of them deceived by the high
quotations now. ruling, and believe that this
year is in that respect to repeat itself. The
truth, however, ia that consumption cannot in
one year be very largely increased; {; the spin
dles,must be made, before they can be run.--
With aegood season; 'then,' for growing, and
with supply from America considerably in
excess of any possible consumption, and with
other countries to0,f growing all they can, as
We have every reason to believe they will, it
cannot be very difficult problem to determine
what the average price will be. And with 8
very poor price for cotton and all the wheat
and corn and provisions to buy, in what condi-
tion is another winter likely to leave the plant
er3. lis there not tenough in these suggestions
to lead the planter to see the folly of giving up
all his land to cotton? Would it not be wiser
to raise all the food you want, and after that
raise all the cotton you cau economically? No
other policy is safe, and the merchant who
makes the advances should see that il is carried
out.AFsndreial Chronicle,
