GENERAL GRANT.--If the Govern
ment is economically conducted, the rev
enue honestly collected, the taxes fairly
adjusted, and the peace and honor of the
country maintained, they are satisfied,
without running the risk of change
which might be for the worse. All these
things have been done under General
Grants administration if not to the en-
tire satisfaction of everybody, yet to the
general satisfaction of the country, and
there is no reason to believe that change
would bring about any improvement.
Besides, there is feeling of security in
the conntry while General Grant is Pres
idcnt that would not prevail under an
other Executive, even though he might
have more experience as a civilian and
statesman. The revolutionary spirit still
exhibited by large portion Of the South
ern people, including many of the rebel
leaders, is not calculated to make the 10y
al people Of the country forget, as they
would like to do, the events of the late
civil war. If the declaration of univers-
al amnesty, which we trust the Presi-
dent will be authorized to make before
the adjournment of the present Congress,
does not produce better effect upon
Southern feeling than the partial am
nesty granted already has done, there
will be just cause for apprehension that
Il large portion Of the South has not ac-
ccpted, and does not propose to accept,
the results of the war as final. In such
an event, the people choose to have Gen
Grant, above all other men, in the Pres
idential chair. They have perfect conf
dence in his fealty to the principles of
the Republican party-in his devotion
to the Union of the States and the su-
prcmacy Of the hag-and they know from
experience his ability to maintain those
principles and defend that Union against
all opposition.-Ne,c York Times.

PROOF PosITIvE.-A student in one of
the New York colleges was charged by
the Faculty with having had barrel OF
ale deposited in his room contrary, OF
course, to rule and usage. lie received n
summons to appear before the President,
who said Sir, am informed that
you have barrel Of ale in your room"
" Yes, sir"
" What explanation can you make ?'
Why, the fact is, sir, my physician
advised me to try little ale each day rs
a tonic, and not wishing to stop at the
various places where this beverage is re-
tailed, determined to have barrel ia
ken to my room"
Indeed. And have you derived any
benefit from it ?"
" All, yes, sir. When the barrel was
first taken to my room, few weeks since,
| could hardly lift it. Now | can carry
it with the greatest ease"

CHEAP, BUT HoNEsT.-Many years
ago, when Robert NJ, Chalton, Of Savan-
nah, Georgia, was quite young man, he
in company with his father, the Hon. u .
p. Charlton, spent every Summer in the
delightful village Of Clarksyille, north
ern Georgia.
One day Robert was passing along the
street in Clarksville, and it happened to
be election day-mcmb of Congress
were then elected by what is called the
general ticket system, and not by dis
tricts as they are now-whcn he was met
by II verdant but honest yotor from the
mountains, who accosted him thus :
"Mr. Charlton, are you the man that
is running for Congress ?"
"No, sir, | am no canddate-my faith
er is, however. But may / ask you why
this inquiry ?"
Nothing, only haven't voted yet"
eff it is consistent with your feelings,
then / would like to have you vote for
my father"
81 would just as soon vote for him as
anybody"
Mr. Charlton thanked him, and think
ing, perhaps, his friend was seeking a
treat, invited him into u neighboring tay-
ern.
"What will you take ?"
" | never drink anything, but | see
they have ginger cakes. I'd as lief take
one Of them with you as not"
Very we'll. Give US cake"
"My brother is in town with me-"
"All right. Take him cake with my
respects"
Another cake was purchased and paid
for, and the two friends parted, "Greeny"
to find his brother, and Mr.. Charlton to
join in the merry dance with his young
friends in a parlor hard by.
"The hours on angels wings" passed
rapidly away with Mr.. Charlton. His
friend was soon forgotten. Late in the
evening there was a pause in the dance,
our verdant friend, very much to the sur
prise Of every one, stalked into the par
lor, and inquired for Mr.. Charlton.
OF course all eyes were turned to our
friend, as he approached Mr.. Charlton.
Drawing from his bosom four-by-six
cake, he said
"Mr. Charlton, here's your cake. My
brother voted afore | seed him."

FLORENCE, tho comedian, tells a capi-
tai story Of IL waiter at one Of the London
taycrns who was sadly given to drink
A party Of young men determined to re-
form him, and one day they read an i'm
agnary paragraph from the paper, relat-
ing a terrible accident, in which an inc
briate on blowing out candle was killed
by the flames igniting with the fumes of
his breath. jerry pricked up his ears at
this, and requested that might be read to
him again, which was done to the evident
horror Of the poor man, who Immediately
went in search Of the prayer-book. Re
turning with this, he expressed desire
to take solemn oath upon it. bemoaned
the fact that he had been a sorry tippler,
and was bringing himself to ruin, and
then swore that never again, as long as
he lived, would he attempt to blow out II
candle.

CARLNLE-S STUDY.

Entering his study, you find nothing in
the place whore you expected it. "Dou
QuiXote," with all its wind-mlls, mixed
up with Doctor Dick on the "Sacra-
ment," Mark Twain's dumping Frog"
and Carnoch on the Attributes" Pass
ing across the room, you stumble against
the manuscript of his last lecture, or put
your foot in a piece of pie that has fallen
off the end of the writing table. You
mistake his essay ON the Copcrnican
System " for blotting paper. Many of
his best books are berctt of the binding,
and in attempting to replace the covers,
Hudibras gets the cover that belongs
to Barnes on 1.-THE Acts of the Apos-
ties" An earthquake in the room would
be more apt to improve than to unsettlc.
There are marks where the inkstand be-
came unstable and made hand writing
on the wall that even Daniel could not
have interpreted. If, some fatal day,
the wife or house-keeper come in while
its occupant is absent, to "clear up" n
damage is done that takes weeks to re-
pair. For many days tho question is :
" Where is my pen ? Who has the con-
cordance What on earth has become
of the dictionary? Where is the paper
cutter ?' Work is impeded, patience
lost, engagements are broken, because it
was not understood that "the study" is
n part of the studont's life, and that you
might as we'll try to change Che bnucllles
to the inside Of the hand, or set the eyes
in the middle of the forehead, us to make
the man Of whom we speak keep his pen
on the rack, or his books Off the floor, or
the blotting-papcr straight in the port
folio.
The studio is a part of the mental de-
velopement. Do not blame man for
the style Of his literary apartments, any
more than you would for the color of his
hair or the shape of his nose. If Hobbies
carries his study with him, and his pen
and ink-horn in the top Of his cane, so
iNt Ilhi NNi y hllNllis II i4ul llIdtlllt NtIl
best compose while walking his park, pa
per and pencil in hand, so let him ram
Bile. If Robert Hall thinks easiest when
lying fiat on his back, let him PROSTATE.
If Salmasus writes best surrounded by
children, let loose on him the nursery.
Do not criticize Charles Dickens because
he threw all his study windows wide open
and the shades up. 1t may fade the car
pets, but will pour sunshine into the
hearts Of Il million readers. If Thomas
Carlyle chose to call around an ink-spat-
tered table Goethe and Schiller and Jean
Paul Friedrich Richster and dissccts the
shams of the world with plain goose
quill, SO be it. The horns Of an oX's head
are not more certainly part Of the OK than
Thomas Carlyle's study and its appoint
ments are II part Of Thomas Carlyle. The
gazclle will have soft fur and the lion
shaggy hide, and the sonctUm SaHcto1UDt

Not long ago an inventor applied to
the Patent Office for patent for a new
process Of embalming, and in order to
comply with the supposed requirements
Of the law, that a model be deposited in
the office, he prepared a neat little coffin.
with glass face, in which he deposited
the remains of tiny infant which had
been embalmed by his process. 1t being
considered not desirable to make the
Patent Office catacomb, the model was
returned to the inventor for burial.

A WITNESS in a late divorce suit kept
saving that the wife had very retaliat-

husband kiss her?" asked the wife's coun-

she do on such occasions2" She always
retaliated, SIR"

world some curious biographies, but the
climax of all is his last effort to set Nero
right. He has discovered that the gen

and because he was nearly hundred
miles away during the conhagration.

PROPER TINE TO SKIM MILK.-The
milk should be skinned as soon as all
the cream has risen, and before the milk
has thickened. The exact time required
for the cream to rise, will, of course, de-
pend upon the temperature, but little
experience will enable one to tell At
the time the cream should be removed,
it will have bright, healthy appearance
"a rich, yellow, uniform, and such adj
herency of particles as will enable one,
sometimes, to remove the entire cream
at one dip of the skinner. If allowed
to stand too long without skimming, both
the quantity and the quality of the
cream will be seriously affected the sur
face will become discolored, blotched
and knobby, while underneath the cream
is rapidly yielding to the corrosive ten
dency of the acid in the milk. The
thickest cream may be as surely destroy
ed by standing on the milk, as would
the finest fabric in bath of sui phuric
acid. When thus destroyed, the cream
is replaced by thin, watery substance,
having no resemblance to milk or cream,
Those facts, which may be easily yer
flied, show how essential it is that the
cream should be taken off before the
milk has acquired any great amount of
acidity. Yet, in order to make the larg-
est quantity of butter, care must be tax
en- not to remove the cream too soon.-
Many neat and thrifty housewives make
a practice of 'sskimming up the milk
at stated intervals, so as to be through
with the job. This, of course, is very
pleasant, but it involves considerable
loss, as they do not get the full cream
from the newest milk. The milk should
all be skinned at the same age, provid-
ed it has had the same conditions as re-
CARDS temperature, etc. It follows, then,
that some milk should be skinned every
night and morning-Priae Essay O

TURNIPs AND FODDER Constellation
al testimony as to the value of fodder
corn and turnips for stock, is derived
from the statement of Mr. w. I'll. Pierson,
of Vassalboro made in recent CONVEX
sation with us. He remarked that he
had become convinced, two years since,
of the superiority of sweet-corn fodder
over that from the southern variety
usually grown as cattle food. That year
he grew three acres of sweet corn for the
Kendall's Mills canning factory, the
stalks of which were fed to the cattle.
He never fed anything more satisfactory,
it giving as good results as the best En-
glish hay Since then he has sown the
sweet-corn for fodder purposes. Mr..
Pierson thought that sweet corn had
paid him better than any crop he had
ever raised. The price obtained was
four and half cents per can, and some
farmers this year who have grown corn
for the factory, have obtained one hun
dred dollars per acre for the crop,-it
has, however, been an unusually good
corn year. Mr. Pierson also believes in
the turnip and thinks our farmers miss
it that they do not grow them more large
ly. He regards the crop as capable of
becoming, even in our State, of equal i'm
portance with the corn crop, and is Of
the opinion that if its merits were appre-
ciated by our farmers, and it was cult
waited to the extent it should be, fail.
ure of the crop would produce more Sc
rious consequences than a failure of the
corn crop. The present season he has
grown three-fourths of an acre, and con
siders five hundred bushels to the acre 6
fair average crop, although from eight
to nine hundred bushels are easily cult
waited and proftably grown, new lane
being more favorable for them than old
He feeds them to his work horses il
preference to meal or oats, and they
work as we'll and look as we'll as whe1
fed on either of the latter. They ar,
fed with good cut hay, and given at thu
rate of four quarts (cuD three times
daily, to each horse. Mr.. Pierson say
he has known oxen thin in flesh in tn
fall to work all winter, when fed no othe
provender than turnips, to gain in fesl
all the time, and come out in the spring
good beef. He earnestly recommend:
their more general cultivation to on
farmers, and believes they would fine
them a profitable crop. He grows tn

MIR. SURGEONS PRAYER IN ROME
Mr.. Sturgeon has been staying in Rome,
and on Sunday week preached in the
Presbyterian church, outside the Porta
del Popolo the regular minister of which
is DIR, Lewis. A correspondent of the
Telegraph, describing the service, writes {:
perhaps the boldest thing Mr.. Spur
geon ever said in his life was said in his
running comments before the sermon.
while reading a chapter of Scripture
Somehow or other he introduced Rome
and Roman affairs into his discourse,
and raising his hands and eyes at the
same time-the hands clasped, the eyes
turned up to the ceiling-he broke out,
without warning or preparation of any
kind, in the following terms: % Victor
Emmanuel O Emmanuel of heaven
thou true Victor Help the Italians, bless
and sanctify their cause, and make them
prosperous | do not think the cry o.
Fire 7 or Stop theft uttered in tn,
middle of the sermon, would have caused
much more sensation than this praye
did"

THE LoypoS PREss ON TUE F1sK

THE LONDON Press ON THE FISK
TRAGEDy-The Pail Mall Gazette,
commenting on Fisk's murder, says:
at is curious to observe that, not
withstanding the revelations made of
the state Of society in New 7 ork, and
the gross immortality, dishonesty and
general corruption of judgement like
ly to fall upon the inhabitants Paris,
in its worst days, was not to be COM
pared as to wickedness with New
York. BeMorny was an angel of
light by the side of Tweed and Fisk,
yet the fall of Napoleon is attributed
by many to the lax morality of the
Empire; and on the same principle
we ought to look for the speedy fall
of the republic in America, where re-
publican virtues completely eclipse
imperial vices" Let it not be mag
med that Erie scrip or Tammany in
triges, that plundered shareholders OF
hobbled dupes were represented by
those three pistol shots which let ont
the life of him who for four years has
been the most conspicuous represen-
tive of American civilization. It was
the hand Of Helen osephene Mansfield
which launched the fatal bullet. One
year ago no caricature was more com.
mon in the windows of New York
than a jar labeled "Lachrymal Fisk
The tears thus shed by the Grand
Mogul of Erie were wrung from him
not by the vengeance Of indignant
shareholders or the promptings of dis
pair, but by the grief that a beautiful
Boston girl, who had been married al
sixteen to an actor in California anC
speedily divorced, preferred Edward
Stokes to Admirable Fisk. In thu
Erie tragedy, assassin and his victim
were the two most CONSPICUOUS figuI
es, the cause which consigned Jane
Fisk to a bloody grave was, as usual
a woman"

A SMILING CoUNTENANCE.-stA aunt
of ours concluded to try the effect of a
pleasant smile and kind word upon
her husband when he returned from his
work She had read how a home should
be pleasant, and the wife should always
meet her husband with a joyful smile.
The success she had is best given in the
shape of a dialogue.
Enter husband, very much exhaus-
ted, and very hungry withall; throws
his hat on the floor and drops heavily
into seat. Wife, preparing tea, looks
up with smile, and is so glad to see
him.
Wife-Well, my dear, it is so nice to
have you here at meal-time. A long
smile.
Husband-Yes, l suppose SO.
Wife-How has your business pros
pered to-day? Another saile,

of manure Now with the same stock, |
make from four to five hundred loads

much grain and hay from the same land
Do you wonder that | have muck on
the brain ? In the course of my expert
ence | have come to the conclusion that
on any land that is dry enough not to
need undertaking muck applied in any
shape is equally as good as barnyard
manure, although when applied clear its
effect is not as quick as that of manure,
but is more lasting. When composted
after my plan, | think it is better than
clear manure, as it is not quite so stim-
ulating, but more lasting in its effect,
producing rather less straw but more
and heavier grain. | have made some
experiments the past season with muck
prepared in different ways, the results Of
which were quite interesting to me, but
as your readers may not have the malady
ascribed to myself, it might not interest
them, so [ will omit it this time.-N b.
