, TRAINING A HEIFER.-Cows usually become
addicted to kicking, when heifers, from being
MIXED by abusive mixers. l have never seen
an old COW become kicker unless abused. In
stead of cows being averse to being milked
when giving large quantity, have ever found
it the reverse. When pasturage is good, and
cows come home at night with udders distended
With milk, Our "dowacast" cows seem grateful
to have it removed. Milking heifer for the
first time requires patience, for they will almost
invariably kick. In such case put broad
strap around her body, just in front of the
udder, and buckle it up moderately tight, and,
SO soon as she gets quiet, (for she may dance
around little at FIRST take your pail, sit down
and 60 to milking, for she is as helpless as q
kitten. Do not attempt to use a rope instead
of strap, for it will not answer. This is a
much better method than tying the legs, as ir
/ doestnot hurt the animal in the least. A few
applications of the strap, with plenty of pa
ti.ence and kindness, will cure the most obsti-
nate case.-Rmai Home.

Justice from a Northern Correspondent.

The Philadephia Press has correspondent
travelling through the South whose letters are
the faIrest that we have yet seen published in
Northern Republican journal. We take the
following from the concluding portion of let
ter written after passing through Virginia and
the Carolinas
We in the North, even the best informed,
labor under the very erroneous impression that
politics are in state of chronic agitation in
the South, and that lawlessness is the rule, and
that every Southern man is a perambulating
arsenal, hung round with small arms and bowie
knives. AS to the politics, the people never
mention them, save to denounce some unprin-
cipled yulture in the shape of carpet-bagger,
their ruin. The carpet-bagger is the hummer,
the camp follower of Northern politics, who,
failing to get his hands on the regular loot,
goes South as an adherent of the Government.
Those creatures would adhere to anything they
saw an unlawful dollar in, and the Government
has aided them without due care. The uniyer-
sai sentiments that of adherence to the Union,
an acceptance of all the issues matnred by the
war, and determination to restore their sec
ton to the more than its former power and
opulenee. Therefore, as wise men, they do not
dabble in politics, and they know it to be TO
their interest to maintain peace and obey the
laws. And this would be the only course even
were the motives none other than selfish, for
labor and capital, the two things most needed
i'm the South, would be scared away by lawless-
ness. ~ ..4
As, to carrying concealed weapons, of course
my only means of judging was from the repre-
sentations of those with whom I conversed.
The best Southern people deplore the carrying
of concealed weapons, and / am informed that
the custom is on the wane. Indeed, it was re-
torted by gentleman whom questioned on
this subject: eyes, some of our hot-headed
young men carry arms, but there are more
murders from this practice in New York, or
even in Philadelphia, than among an equal
number of people in any Southern State in one
year"
Of course this statement was general, yet L
remembered enough of the crime resulting
from the habit in The North not to contradict
him fatty. 1t is very comforting to have a
scape-goat, pleasant to cast stones at the erring
entertaining and Christian-lke to see the de-
fects in our brothers, eyes, but question its
being exactly orthodox Christianity. l know
the State from which come is pure. know
there is no lawlcssness or corruption in Penn
sylvania. know the best and purest men are
in office, and that merit is the test of prefer
ence, and yet somehow it strikes me we can
spare no missionaries to preach honesty and
honor to the people of the South.

The. Greatest Hanging on Record.

The greatest hanging that ever occurred in the
United States took place in 1863, in the town
of Mankato, Blue Earth county, Minnesota,
which is situated near the southern border OF
the State In the previous year great Indian
war had ragged on the frontier, during which
over seven hundred whites, mostly women and
children, were massacred, and on the defeat OF
the Indians and the end of the war three
hundred and three of the savages were tried
by court martial for murder and condemned
to death. President Lincoln interfered, how
ever, to prevent such wholesale infiction of
the death penalty, and respited all but thirty
eight, who were hanged together in the pres
ence of vast crowd which had assembled from
all directions to witness the execution.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI has recently conversed with witnesses of
the terrible scene, who gave him a full account
of the affair." When the death warrant was
read to the, thiEty-eight condemned Indians
they received their sentence very coolly, not

ment';i as the close Of the first paragraph they

of view. I do not propose. to discuss the do

points you will find in any Northerner's mind,
let his tongue or his pen say to the contrary
notwithstanding. - . -.
In the first place the houses-the homes of
the people compel attention, as being OF the
utmost importance, to all. They might be, 1
think, very materially improved. The almost
universal practice of having detached and dis
tant kitchens, while convenient in summer, is,
to say the least, very Objectionable in winter or
wet weather, the cook being compelled to leave
a hot kitchen and go some distance to the
house III an atmosphere nearly or quite freezing,
or worse, in a heavy sleet Were the cooks
ALWAYS servants. accustomed to exposure, this
might not be SO much a consideration; but as
they may, occasionally, at least, be either the
mother or daughter of the family, it is a most
serious one. The passage through low tenn
perature or rain decreases the heat OF the
food. an item here, where hot bread is the rule
and not the exception. Kitchens can be built
ssparate enough to avoid all odors agreeable
and otherwise, and yet connected with the
house SO as to avoid the weather, by either an
enclosed passage, capable rof being opened ~
summer, or by placing the store-room between
the dining room and kitchen, communication
to all being had by an entry, with proper ven
tilation... - i, st.1 .<...-.
Most of the houses are under-pinned with
brick. and left open underneath for aspacs
yarying from two to six feet, creating a strong
draft, and possibly the best way of chilling a

for the frequent complaint of cold feet in ex-

may be averted by banking the houses with
earth, or still better, by boarding and ceiling
