Plant trees in the garden, along the
sidewalks and roads. A few trees in the
bleak pasture will improve the appear
ance of ranches, as well as serving in
time for grateful shade for the stock in
the long, hot days of the dry season. 1t
is a well-established fact that trees at
tract moisture, and everybody knows
they add much to the attractiveness of q
place. This is most favorable time for
the work; the ground is warm and moist,
and trees set out with ordinary care are
bound to grow. Therefore, plant trees
plant fruit trees, and in few years
you can raise your own fruit; plant trees
for fuel, and your children that come

and in few short years you can reap
the reward of your industry by bonus
from the Board of Supervisors plant,
also, shade trees, and when the infrmi-
ties of age come upon you, you can sit
under your own vine and fig tree, con-
scious of having done your duty, with
none to modest or make you afraid.

AGRICULT URAL.


An exchange says large portion of
the seed will shell and fall to the ground
before any cultivated crop can be re-
moved from the field. Then, if the
ground be narrowed thoroughly, soon
after crop of grain is removed, almost
every mustard seed will terminate, grow,
and the plants will die after the weather
has become SO cold as to freeze the
ground. When the land is plewed in
autumn, all the seed that is buried over
one inch deep will remain in the ground
for an unknown number of years but
as soon as it is turned up to the surface,
where the kernels are covered with only
brushing of soil, every one will ger
inmate and produce plant. If the
seed be allowed to remain on the surface
of the ground undisturbed until the fol-
lowing spring, every kernel that is COW
cred with only thin covering of mold
will grow. AS soon as the growing sea-
son has commenced, let the ground be
narrowed. All the mustard seed near
the surface will then terminate. As
soon as the young mustard appears in
the seed leaf, let the land be narrowed
again. The harrow will root up and de-
stroy every plant in the seed leaf, and
will bring much seed near the surface,
which will Immediately terminate. By
this practice some ground may be di-
vested to a great extent of these per-
nicious weeds before the seed for a crop
of grain is put in.

Influence OF Music on Animals.
By the Fat Contributor.

We have just been reading a very
interesting essay regarding the infu-
fiuence of music on animals. The
writer shows how various animals, and
even insects, are Influenced by con-
cord of sweet sounds. We have no
ticed the same thing, but thought
nothing particular about it until we
stumbled on this article.
We remember how we have seen
horses Influenced by music. One of
the most enjoyable runaways we ever
experienced, can be directly traced to
the influence of music on horse.
We were driven past where band
was playing, and the music had more
influence on the horse than We had. He
didn't keep time, though. In fact, he
didn't keep anything harness, buggy,
or anything else. He only kept run
ming. l never thought music could
have such influence on horse.
He beat time, too. That is to say,
he beat any time we ever saw him
make before, even before sulky. We
would have kept that horse to run
against time, if he hadn't run against
lamp post, and ruined himself. Mu-
sic influence horse? Guess notl
Horses are excellent musical per-
formers themselves, sometimes. We
have known a hungry horse to go
through all the bars of an oat field
correctly, and never miss an oat, al
though the owner of the oats missed
all of his.
Dogs are singularly affected by mu-
sic. We whistled after strange dog
once, weTemember. The dog, stopped,
listened attentively, looked moment
sad, as though the notes awake some
tender memories within him; and
then came bounding toward us, and
embraced the calf of our leg in the most
affectionaate manner. He could hard
ly tear himself away, and wouldn't if
his owner hadn't come and choked
him off.
There is power of music in a tin
kettle, when properly brought out.
We saw one brought out the other day
by some boys, who attached it to dogs
tail. Talk about the influence of mu-
sic on animals; we never saw dog so
moved in all our life.

NOT A FAILURE.

Captain Halls Arctic expedition can
not Justly be called a failure. He did
not entitle himself to the reward of
$4,000, which was offered so long ago
as 1776, by the English Government,
to the explorer who should get within
one degree of the North Pole He
has not discovered the northwest pas
sage. channel which the commerce
of the world has long since ceased to
think about, but he has undoubtedly,
by his intrepid exploration, sadded to
our geographical and scientific knowl-
edge of that mysterious northern re-
gion with which the names of Cook,
Ross, Parry, Franklin, Kane and
Hayes are forever associated. He has
carried his vessel within four hundred
and sixty-four miles of the Pole, two
hundred and nineteen miles further
than DIR. Kane went, ard 4 greater
reach of Polar navigation than has
ever before been accomplished, and he
seems to have discovered the true en-
trance into the open Polar Sea, which
has eluded preceding explorers.

A NEW Hampshire letter to the
Boston Journal says: while the af.
ternoon express train over the Sugar
River Railroad was nearing Chandler
vile to-day alta speed of about forty
miles per hour, the engineer, Mr.. Pills.
bury discovered a small child standing
upon the track. The cool head of the
engineer at once took in the situation.
He called for breaks, reversed his
engine and rushed on to its front, and
getting low down on the COW catcher,
bravely snatched up the child as the
train went laundering ON, and thus
rescued it from instant death at the
peril of his own life, and bore it safely
off to the joy of its parents. Truly the
the age of brave and self-sacrifcing
men has not passed.

The Agricultural Report Distributed
Throughout Europe with Excel
lent Results.

The wisdom ofcirculatingin Europe,
the reports of Agricultural Department
has been abundantly demonstrated.
Congress authorized the publication
of large edition in the German, Scam
dinavian and other languages of con-
tinertal Europe. The matter for this
edition was specially prepared, consis-
ting of description of the agricultural
and mineral resources of the United
States, the quality of available lands
and products thereon, climate, &c.
Copies have been distributed by our
consuls at theprincipal ports. A large
number of copies in English were also
distributed throughout the rural dis
trict of Great Britain. The knowledge
of our country afforded by this publ
cation has given an immense impetus
to immigration from Europe. The
number of emigrants arriving at the
various Atlantic ports since the LIST of
January has been almost unpreceden-
ted, and the tide of hardy sons of toll
flowing to this country will, it is
thought, continue to be enormous. A
letter was received to-day at the Agri-
cultural Department from the Amer
lean Consul at Belfast, Ireland, in
which he says that $500 of the flower
of they outh of that region hasve sailed
for America during the month of
April. The section of country around
Belfast is inhabited by the most intel
ligent and industrious of the Irish race,
and such people will be a great ac-
QUESTION to any locality where they
may settle. The consul says that the
determination of these people to come
to this country was due in a great
measure to the information obtained
from the agricultural report. Such of
the States as have had the forethought
and enterprise to send agents to Eu-
rope have derived much advantage in
being able to direct the destination of
emigrants before their departure.

New ENGLAND sees in the ST. Louis
Congressional Convention the hand
writing on the wall. 1t sees that the
center of power has shifted from Ply
mouth rock to the Mississippi valley,
that West and Southwest are natural
allies and that their cooperation will
overthrow Puritan domination and
restore the government to something
near its original status, free commerce
from the schackles imposed upon it by
a partizan and sectional tariff and re-
establish the right of local self-gov-
concentrating State and individ-
uals the equals of each other, as guar
anteed by the Constitution. 1t is true
that the Convention is not political, in
the common acceptation of the term,
but the ends it aims at, can not be
reached without making political is
sues. The shaky eastern Congress
men, who declined taking part in the
Convention are already changing their
views as to the power of the federal
government to lend aid to the great pro-
jects to be set on foot by that Conven-
ton. To benefit New England and
the Middle States, the federal powers
are unlimited-the Constitution as
stretchy as New England conscience,
but those powers are exceedingly linn
tied when it comes to aiding the de-
velopment of the South and West.
The decree has been entered, and the
farmers and mechanics will see that it
is carried out, in letter and spirit.
The march of empire is westward.

THEDANeERs OF DRINK.
A Question About Which Doctors do
Not Disagree.
From the National Temperance Advo-
cate for Nav.

First. In view of the alarmingprev-
alence and i'll effects of intemperance,
with which none are so familiar as
members of the medical profession,
aud which have called forth from en-
inent English physicians the voice of
warning to the people of Great Britain
concerning the use of alcoholic bev-
erages, we the undersigned members of
the medical profession of New York
and vicinity, unite in the declaration
that we believe alcohol should be
classed with other powerful drugs and
that when prescribed incidentally it
should be with conscientious caution
and sense of great responsibility.
Second. We are of the opinion that
the use of alcoholic liquors as bev-
erage is productive ola large amount
of physical disease; thatit entails
diseased appetites upon offspring; and
that it is the cause of large per centage
of the crime and pauperism of our cities
and country.
Third. We would welcome any ju-
dicious and effective legislation-State
and National-which should seek to
confine the traffic in alcohol to the le-
gitimate purpose Of medical and other
sciences, art and mechanism.
Signed by twenty-five of the leading
physicians of New Y ork and Brooklyn.
most of which occupy responsible po-
sitions in medical colleges and hospi-
tails.

a HIGHLY esteemed friend and sub
scriber sends US, along with a years
subscription, the advice, to let Andy
alone and pay our respects to dema-
gogues at home. In advance of this
suggestion, We had resolved Ito let
Andy alone" and would not have
handled the unclean subject at all, but
to illustrate the warning we gave the
people to beware of the Vaccinations
on foot to force true Conservatives
to swear fealty to Democracy, or to
vote with the radicals, or not vote at
all. Andy assumed the lead, last year,
of this movement and erected himself
as the standard ofSimon-pure, exclusive
proscriptive and rule-or-ruin Democ-
racy, and we could not have given force
to our warning without personal refer
ence to his antecedents which are suf-
fcient, of themselves, to establish the
VI VI luC l1dn,
who was protested Democrat as long
as democracy promoted the ends of his
ambition-an ultra Radical when that
promised to pay better, and since that
party cut off his rations, has returned
to the Democratic fold bringing with
him the old spirit ofrule or ruin. Look
ing into the future by the light of the
past, we felt it to be our duty to warn
our readers of the probable political
schisms to be developed in the next
campaign and to hint to the Democra-
cy of Tennessee that it is not likely to
increase in numbers, or honors under
such leader, or with the spirit of ex-
clusiveness, so characteristic of its
Bourbon element, debating a policy
adverse to that perfect union of all the
elements of opposition without which
Radicalism cannot be kept down in
Tennessee, nor defeated in the whole
country.

an Assembly now in session in Hunts

orator, Rev. DIR. Crosby, and made an
address. He hoped the day would
soon come when there would be but one
Presbyterian church. The Cumber-
land church was ready to meet the
Northern church In any negotiations
for that end. IF the Assembly should
deem it proper to appoint committee
to consider any proposition relative
to reunion, the Cumberland church
would do the same, and their consul
tations might result in healing the diff
ference of the churches.
The Moderator said that it gave him
great pleasure to welcome in this As

that his suggestion in regard to reunion
would meet prompt and generous re-
