BsAurlrY YouR FARM is great

BeArrfrY Your FARM 1T is a great
mistake to suppose that money spent in
reasonably improving the appearance of a
place is thrown away. 1t may be doubted
whether there is any more direct method
TO increase its pecuniary value. Certain
" its market value will depend very much
npon its outward appearance. Tasteful
and well-painted buildings, well-arranged
wards and gardens with neat fences, shade
trees properly disposed, good farm fences
and clearly Kept fields, will set offa farm
TO great advantage and make an amazing
difference when it comes to be sold And
even if 1t be not sold. these things will
add amazingly to the enjoyment of it by
its possessor, if he be not blind to every
thing but the dollar. Every man, too,
owes it to the community in which he is
living to contribute to general reputation
and to public enjoyment by making all his
surroundings as attractive AS possible.
There is such thing as paying too much
attention to outside and to show; but
there is reason in all things, anda meas
ure of time and attention and expense
should be devoted by every one to making
his farm and his home more attractive
every year that he lives.

nothing to the knowledge which the world

the friend of the slave, and from circum-

sessing to greater extent than any other

General Grant has rendered to the country
great services, and is entitled to its graft

thing, if i: were possible, to dim the lustre of
his fame. But does gratitude require his re-
election to the office he now holds? Has he
not been well rewarded for his services,
great though they Were? The nation has
for four years bestowed wealth and honors
not only upon him, but upon all his relations,
lineal and collateral, if not to the third and
fourth generation, at least to the second and
third. l do not complain of these rewards;
on the contrary, assuming them to be worth
lily bestowed, / rejoice at them; but it does

What Constitutes a Gentleman

"HALLooi you man with pail and
frock," said British officer, as he brought
his fiery horse to stand in front of Gov
Chittenden's dwelling, ''can you inform
me whether His Honor, the Governor of
Vermont, resides here?'
'tHe does'' was the response of the
man, still vending his way to the pig
sty.
as His Honor at home?" continued
the man of spurs.
"Most certainly" replied the man of
the frock.
"Take my horse by the bit them said
the officer, 81 have business to transact
with your master"
Without a second bidding the man did
as requested, and the officer having
alighted, made his way to the door, and
gave the panel several hearty raps with
his whip; for, be it known, in those days
of republican simplicity, knockers and
bells, like servants, were in but little
use.
The good dame answered the summons,
and having seated the officer, and ascer-
tanned his desire to see the Governor, she
departed to inform her husband of the
guests arrival; but on ascertainining that
the officer had made a hitching post of
her husband. she returned and informed
him that the Governor was engaged in
the yard, and could not very well wait
upon him and his horse at the same time.
The predicament of the officer can be
better imagined than described.

North Carolina Again.

Col. ALEX. MCCLURE, of Pennsylva-
mia made speeches in North Carolina dur
ing the recent canvass, and has returned
from that State since the election, states
il as his belief that Merrimon, Democrat
ic candidate for Governor, is honestly
elected by a majority of 5000 of the legal
votes cast, although the returns will show
majority of one or two thousand for
Caldwell. The returns first sent by the
Radical officials elected Merrimon but
revised" returns were sent in from day
TO day, reducing Merrimon's vote and
placing Caldwell ahead. Col. Mcclure
declares that the chief frauds were in
these revised returns, and that an in
vestigation will reveal them There is
good reason to believe that the Admins
tration party were completely defeated AT
all points in the election, and that the
Democrats and Conservatives not only
elected five out of eight members of Con
gress, and majority of members of
both Houses of the Legislature, but that
they elected the Governor and State tick
ct too. 1t is absurd to say that Caldwell
has been elected, until "A fair investigation
shall prove it. Radical officials in the
South are VIGOROUSLY addicted to the prac-
tice of electing their own candidates by
throwing out" votes cast for Democrats
and Conservatives. We know something
about this in Missouri, and Col Mcclure
knows something about it even in Penn

Hints AbOnt the Farm.

The Southern Farmer says that tea
spoonful of fine salt or of horse rad
ish in a pan of milk will keep it sweet for
several days.
Beans, when cooked with fat. are quite
analogous to nuts in their sustaining quail
tiles, and vegetable oil might always be
used in preference to pork. Fried beans
and tortillas-fiat cakes made from Indian
corn-are the staple dish in Mexico. Pea
soup every alternate day is the regular
dinner in the English merchant service
One thing which farmers neglect is the
honey bee. 1t is really too bad, while ma
ture has furnished SO many plants and
flowers for the secretion of honey, that
the people so much neglect to care for and
encourage honey bees, which alone are
created to collect it for the use of man.
Carefully conducted experiments have
demonstrated the fact that seasoned wood
well saturated with oil when put together
will not shrink in the dryest weather.
Wheels have been known to run many
years, even to wearing out the tires to be
reset. Thousands of dollars might be
saved annually In blacksmiths' bills, espec-
tally such seasons as the past, if this prac-
tice were adopted. 1t is not known by
some that crude petroleum on even old
wheels will produce like benefits.

How TO Save Onion Tops.

The top onions should he gathered as
soon as they are ripe. They are ripe
when the top falls down and becomes
wilted When you cut off the top from
the onion, if the juice starts in little drops
the onion was not ripe, and would have
grown more. If they are suffered to
stand long after they are ripe they will
begin to grow again, burst open and di-
vide New roots will start ont and on
pulling the onion will cling. These roots
are sapping the onion, which, together
with new top, will spoil the plant. II
you should cook such am onion you would
say il is strong, dry and tough. Whereas,

sylvania. At the Senatorial election in
the Fourth district in that State, last win
ter, he declared: 81 shall be elected by
the legal votes, but the Radicals will count
me out" He ras elected, and the Radi-
icals did count him out; but he contested
the seat in the Senate, proved the frauds
against him, and the Senate elected the
sitting member, Gray, and installed Nc
Clure. So, it will not do to trust to the
returns made by desperate Radical officials,
in a case where their party has as much at
stake as it had in North Carolina. The
official returns of the election in that
State will have to be opened and eXamin-
ed in presence of the Legislature, which
meets in November, and as that body will
be Democratic and Conservative, it will
give the subject thorough investigation.
The result of the North Carolina election
therefore, will not be known till the Leg

What Befel Two Trojan Dressmakers.

Two of the leading dressmakers of this
city took it into their heads, about a month
ago, to go over to Europe, and make ar
engagements for getting the fashions at the
earliest possible moment. Each had an
eye on the other; each intended to get
clear ahead of the other. Neither of
them knew that the other was intending to
go abroad. As rivals sometimes do, even
if they are women, these two hated each
other. They had not spoken to each
other for years, though they had now and
then spoken of each other. They en-
gagged passage by a first-class steamer that
sailed about two weeks ago. Each knew
that she was to have a companion in her
stateroom, but did not know who she
would be, and was probably somewhat
anxious on this point. Truth is stranger
than fiction. The steamer sailed proudly
down the bay One of our dressmallers
was on deck enjoying the scene, which
was novel to her. She was delighted that
she had outwitted her rival up in Troy.
Presently she went down to her state
room to see what sort of a roommate she
had. On entering the room she found
her rival. Both ladies threw up their hands,
exclaimed. you herer and both tainted.
A passenger saw two number three gait
tiers with feet in them projecting through
the doorway. This excited suspicion,
and the matter was investigated. Both
ladies were found insensible. The Cap
tain was heard to remark to the second
officer, an hour afterward, that he'd be
blessed if he ever saw anybody get sea-
sick so quick as those two women did.
Our reporter, from whom we learned
these facts by special cable dispatch,
says it was the most comical sight he ever
saw to see how the two ladies studied to
avoid each other during the trip. They
tried to trade state-rooms with somebody,
but could not. Finally, after living to-
gether for nearly ten days, each began to
appreciate the fact that her rival was n
most estimable lady, and very sharp at
business. Gradually they began to talk
to each other coldly at first but at last
they fell into each others arms, wept and
asked forgiveness. The result was that
they formed a copartnership, and when
they return will set up the most extensive
dressmaking establishment ever known in
this part of the State. If you believe this
is yarn, just make "a few inquiries and
satisfy yourself-Tr0y IN " Press

ference enormous between the collection
and expenditure of the larger and most
populous States, but in West Virginia, a
State where S627, 900 is collected, less

where only $23S, 600 is collected ard only
$4,000 more is expended in collecting
