The Trial of Capt. Jack-His
Speech.

The California papers are reporting the
trial Of Capt Jack for the murder Of Gen.
Candy and the Peace Commissioners. After
the examination Of Lieutenent H. R. An
derson, of the Fourth Artillery, and Assist
ant Surgeon McElderry, Capt. Jack made a
speech, in which he said he did not want to
fight with the whites, but was driven to it
by other Modocs He said he had been
told by squaws that the Peace Commission
ers wanted to kill the Modocs, and also that
Mr.. Meacham had pile of wood upon
which he wanted to burn him (Jack). He
continued as follows:
After hearing all this I was afraid to
come ITO Riddle. You and Toby gave
me good advice. If | had listened to you
and not to the lying squaws, would not be
in the fix I now am The reason did not
come when the wagon was sent was because
of the story of the squaws. I can now see
that all the squaws and Whites squaw lied
to me. She told me she was not of my PEG
pie, and she did not give me good advice

vile has four-but say one-half, that is,
three dogs to two families, gives for the
State 367 ,548 dogs. If they consume
half pint of meal day, each, this is 2,871
bushels every day, and LOST 915 bushels
of meal alone every year. At 80 cents per
bushel, this costs 1887 800 every year
Add to this the sheep killed by them-im-
mense number, but unknown Two per.
sons in one county (Albemarle) lost last
year one hundred and seventy three. This
rate for the State is 1890 sheep-worth
more than all the dogs in America Rate
the sheep at less than three dollars, and we
have nearly $4,000 worth of meat added
to their bread, thus costing the State every
year nearly 100000 Every estimate
here is below the mark. and all fractions
thrown out. The cost to our people, then,
is nearly or quite million Of dollars a
year.

Ten tons of timothy up there,

Whereon are piled his Winter stores
And counts the profits of his globes.
Ten tons of timothy up there,
And four of clover in the bay
Red top that's cut well, middin fair;
And bins Of roots oblong and square,
To help exc out the crops of hay.
A dozen head of cattle stand
Reflective in the leaf strewn yard !;
And stocks are stacked on every hand,
The latest offspring of the land,
To labor long maintained and hard.
Cart loads of pumpkins yonder lie,
The horse is feeding in his stall
, The oats are bundled scaffold high,
The peas and beans are heaped hard by,
AS if there was some festival.
At length old farmer Joe sits down
A patch across ee ch of his knees
He crowds his hat back on his crown
Then clasps his hands so hard and brown,
And like farmer takes his ease
Chow fast, how fast the years do go
1t seems, in fact, but yesterday,
That in this very barn we three

Or got living at the law;
might have gone to Congress sure
| might have kept water cure
might have gone and been-but pshaw.
Far better it is as it is;
What future waits him no man knows;
What he has got that sure is his,
1t makes no odds if stocks have riz,
Or politicians come to blows.
Content is rich, and something more,
I think Eve heard somebody say
fit rains it is apt to pour,
And Pm as rich on the barn floor
Where all is mine that l can raise
I've plowed and moved this dear old farm,
Till not rod but what know
I've kept the old folks snug and warm,
And live without q twinge Of harm,
And dom t care how the storm migb blow.
Aud on the same old farm I'll stay,
And raise my cattle aud my corn
Here shall these hairs turn wholly gray
These feet shall never learn to stray |
But will die where was born
And farmer Joe pulled down his hat,
And stood upon his feet once more;
He would not argue after that;
But like born aristocrat,
Kept on his walk across the floor.

| BENEFITS OF FREoUENr HoEINe Too
many persons who use the hoe suppose that
the chief benefit derived from it is to kill the
weeds. That certainly is an important work
and one which is neglected Weeds are not
only in the way of cultivating the crops which
we plant, but they rob them of the nutri-
ment which they need. Hoeing, then. is
an essential service in respect to destroying
the weeds.
There are other advantages, bow
ever. which are quite commonly overlooked
Let US see.
l. The loosening of the soil 10 the opera
ton Of hoeing is beneficial to the plants as
much as the destruction of the weeds. or
more SO.
2. Moisture abounds in the atmosphere
during the hottest months, and it is absorb.
ed and retained most abundantly BY soil
which is in the most friable state Prof.
Schluber found that 1000 grains of stiff
clay absorbed in twenty -four hours only thir-
ty-six grains of moisture from the air; while
garden mold absorbed forty five grains and
fine magnesia seventy.six grains.
3. Then, again, pulverizipg the soil en-
ables it better to retain the moisture absorb
ed
4. The soil, in order to be healthy and
active, must breathe. A light porous ad.
mits the air. and thus it is fed and greatly
invigorated by the atmosphere.
5. The SUMS rays heat a hard soil much
quicker than loose one, and the hotter the
soil is SO much greater will be the evapora-
ton from it. So that the hard soil is de-
prived of its moisture much sooner than one
of loose mixture
6. The roofs of plants can find their way
through moist, loose soil, in search of food
much better than they can through hard
dry SOIL
Z. A soil that has been plowed well and
then kept loose near the surface, by the &C.
ton of the hoe, will receive and bold the
rain water that falls, while hard soil will
allow most of it to run off into the valleys
and streams as it falls.
An English gardener, Mr.. Barnes, of
Devonshire, in giving bis opinion of the i'm
portance of hoeing, said: II do not agree
with those who say one good wedding is
worth two hoeings say I never weed
crop in which hoe can be got between the
plants, not so much for the sake Of destroy.
ing weeds and vermin, which must neces-
sarily be the case if the hoeing be done
we'll, as for increasing the porosity of the
soil, to allow the water and air to penetrate
freely through it," He adds: IL am well
convinced, by long and close practice, that
oftentimes there is more benefit derived by
crops from keeping them we'll hoed than
there il. from the manure applied. Weeds
or no weeds, I shall keep stirring the soil
we'll knowing, from practice, the very ben
efcial effect
