That Henry A. Wise,who hung John
Brown and prosecuted Republicanism
more ferociously than any other man
in the South, should be found seeking
the Republican nomination for Cover
nor of Virginia, is an astonisher. 1t is
strange but true. 1t serves to show
how profoundly the conviction is taking
hold of the South that the theories of
the Republican party are right irresisti-
bic. If the Republican party could on.
" be true to its early principles and
professions-if it could only keep itself
free from the guile that sooner Or later
creeps in to destroy and corrupt every
successful political organization-who
could forsee the end of its asceudency !!

The Department of Agriculture is in
receipt of adviccs from the United States
Consul at Dundee, Scotland, conveying
the information that Benjamin Reid ~
Co., nurseymen, of Aberdeen, Scotland,
have presented to this Government
through the Agricultural Department,
10000 plants of the true Scotch fir or
Highland pine tree for distribution in
the Western STATES. These plants are
sent in packages, each containing 25O,
bv the steamship Pennsylvania, which
left Glasgow on the 18th Of April, and
the owners Of the vessel, the State Line
Steamship Company, have kindly un-
dertaken to convey them free, SO that
the plants are delivered at New York
free of expense to the Government.
pa We would call the attention OF
the Directors of Elmwood Cemetery, of
this place, to the above, and it would
probably be some advantage to apply
for portion of the above plants for the
Cemetery.

An Iowa clergyman was just unrea.
sonable enough to want his salary, and
when the church failed utterly to pay
him any considerable portion of it, he
sued and recovered judgment. The mat
ter was recently made the subject OF
investigation by council of inquiry,
and that tribunal arrived at four solemn
findings, viz: That the church did
wrong in failing to pay the pastor his
salary, that the pastor did wrong in SUI
ing the church, and that the church
should apologize to the pastor and the
pastor should apologize to the church.

Pa CLosED.-The Free Schools of
Shepherd Township closed on Wednes-

of funds is the cause. We hope the
time will soon come when the Public

censure is attached to any one, but
there is certainly-some way to improve
the present way of managing the sys-
tenn.

family may be seen out at Claysville. A

that the little things have taken to their
step mother as fondly, and follow her
about as closely as if they had never had
another. Tabby will fight for her step
children, and allows no one to handle
them roughly.

Training a Heifer.

We find the following in an exchange
unaccredited, which may be of benefit
to our dairymen in training their heif-
ers. Cows, says the writer, usually be-
come addicted to kicking when heifers,
from being MIXED by abusive mixers.
I have never seen an old COW become
kicker unless abused. Instead of COWS
being averse to being MIXED when Civ
ing a large quantity, I have ever found
it the reverse. When pasturage is
good, and COWS come home at night
with udders distended with milk, our
down East COWS seem grateful to
have it removed. Milking a heif9r for
the first time requires patience, for they
Will almost invariably kick. In such q
case put a board strap around her
body, just in front of the udder, and
buckle it rp moderately tight, and SO
soon as she gets down (for she may
dance around little at first), take your
pail, sit down, and go to milking, foI
she is as helpless, as kitten. Do not
attempt to use a rope instead of strap,
for it will not answer. This is q much
better method than tying the leg, as il
does not hurt the animal in the least.
A few applications of the strap, with
plenty of patience and kindness, vii
cure the most obstinate case.

The French People,
-Ascon tGa.,) Telegraph.

The French people, high and low,
have love of country which is uncon-
trollable. They have an intense devo-
ton to the soil itself. They almost
never emigrate. They are poor colon
lists, because their chief thought it to
get home again as soon as possible. So
the glory of France is with the French
the paramount idea; and it has been
well said that, while the Englishman is
proud because so fRe country belongs
to HIM, the Frenchman is proud because
he belongs to so fine a country. The
French are a viYaciOus, animated race.
They abound in sentiment, but not in
romance-that is, the deep, spiritual
romance of our northern race. They
spend no time in intrOversion they
think rather than reflect. They are
thoroughly material. This is the repuI-
sive side of their character. They dis
sect an emotion as a botanist does a
flower, to explain its fragrance, when
we only wish to enjoy it. 1t is by rea-
son of these qualities they excel in
chemistry, in physiology, in the exact
sciences. Their works "a engineering,
gunnery, architecture, bridging, and so
on, are the best. Ladies' know the value
of French colors. They excel, too, in
the highest grades of manufactures, and
in the petty intricacies of the cook
room. They lead the world in all mat
tiers of taste, where those matters appeal
strictly to the senses. We can scarcely
term such people volatile" They
are perseveringly industrious, which is
not consistent with what is volatile
They show their material side, and we
should add, their good sense, in the
way the very poorest indulge in recrea-
tiOns. And while the religious senti-
ment is very strong with large class,
they certainly cultivate the habit of
making themost of life, as if here were
the end-alI and theS be-all. For the
rest, France is feminine. Outside of
the characteristics we have given, her
qualities are feminine qualities. She is
philosophical in the sciences. She is
philosophical in all that relates to ma
terial life. But, touching the question
of the hour, she is carried clear away
by impulses which to us are inexplica-
BILE. Caricatures, a ieu d'esprit, a tell.
ing play, story of suffering or wrong,
in fact whatever appeals to the senses
or the sensibiIities, have an effect which
it is utterly impossible for an Anglo
Saxon to comprehend. Further, they
are exceedingly sensitive, their amour
proprs is easily wounded, and the Sigh
never forgiven. I am forced to add
they have a national vanity exceeding
that of any other people, which is dis
played on every occasion.-GGLGry.
