Sympathy from the Marines.

MARINE BARRACKS, BROOKLYN Nov. Q, 1873.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
We are happy to learn that the charitable pub
lie on the other side OF the river have contributed
30 generously to the Mast (T). fund, whom we
sincerely sympathize with, but being poor marines
and payday far distant, we are unable to Offer
anything more substantial than our heartfelt
sympathy. should Mr. Mast ever be compelled,
through want or otherwise, to seek a position In
the service we would recommend that he enlist
In the marine corps. The commander of the
Brooklyn Marine Barracks will provide every COM
fort for the benefit of Mr.. Mast II he becomes pr
vate marine. He will have few inconvenience
TO put up WITH but he mustn't mind that. For in
stance-such as sleeping on dirty straw mat
tress, with but one single shoddy blanket for
covering and knapsack for pillow. He Will
also have to do guard duty this winter, with every
second night in bed, and will have to shovel snow
1ence Is that he will be required to assemble, fall
IN ranks and be inspected for dinner, lasting
about fifteen minutes-the generous meal fur
nished by Uncle Sam getting cold In the mean
time. When he Is marched into dinner he must not
expect to find everything ready He sits down to the
dirty table and before him Is set small plate OF
very tough beef and small piece OF bread. Well he
may feel thirsty, but he mustn't grnmbe, for the
commanding officer thinks that thirty bowls are
meal without drinking anything, or Is compelled
20 walt half an hour or so until the bowls are
washed But such little Inconvenience Mr.. Mast
must expect If he enters the selyice-at least the
branch called (Iorse) Marines. Doefully yours,

Neighborhood Improvers.

Diamonds are rare. First rate farmers
are rare; but the men who improves his
own premises and then gets other people,
or his neighbors, properly, 10 improve
theirs, is rarer still. As a general rule,
our best farmers are little selfish and
exclusive. Perhaps they think their prac-
tise Is public, and that ought to be teacher
enough. Practical demonstrations are
what are needed, it is true, bur man TO
be famous must inspire Others by the word
of mouth; and a good, successful farmer
or gardener must talk his neighbor into
better habits of business and cultivation.
Herein lies the great utility of farmers
clubs. All men are not close observers OF
what is going on around them, and many
never know how or why their neighbors
raise better crops than theydo. They can
not ''see it, as the phrase goes, and need
oral instruction in the great art which
turns spears into pruning hooks. This is
Kind OF missionary work, but is, never
theless, honorable. and almost sure to
prove highly beneficial. What agricultu-
al and horticultural papers are doing in a
general way-awakening thoughts and d.
recting hands, here and there and every
where-a real live improver may do in
each neighborhood. and far more effectu-
ally. Very little time is required for this
kind of teaching. A few words dropped
into the ear at the moment will work won
ders. A few hints about business manage
ment will bear abundant fruit. Planning
work, so that one operation does net inter
fere with another, and SO that help may be
fully employed, is one secret of success In
rural life; but few men possess the faculty.
Those who do ought to help their neigh
bors, and make them systematic farmers.

Plant OFTEN.-One of the best rules
the farmers or gardeners can follow to in-
sure success in getting good stand OF
tender crops is TO plant often. Take, for
example, melons. squashes. cucumbers,
lima beans. and such other products as
may be desirable to start early, and which
often fails when planted early. and apply
the rule at the head of this article, and sue
cess would be certain. Fit your ground
early; make broad, rich, fiat hills, slightly
browning, TO insure dryness and gain
warmth. Then plant early IN the season,
and one week later put down a few more
seeds in the hills with the thumb and fin
gers; week later repeat the planting, and
if the season be particularly cold and back
ward, aud the first planting do not appear,
fourth may be necessary. By this
method success is rendered certain; but
little time is lost. for the later planting
will grow so fast as to overtake the first.
AT the proper time thinning must be done,
and the crop is then handsomely started on
its journey.-[Rwal Home.

THE LENGTH OF DAYs.-The days are
heightened perceptibly, aud most people
have daylight enough to do all the work
they aspire to. We are now getting thir-
teen hours, good measure, between sunrise
and sunset. We cannot compare in this
line with some Of the European countries
however. At Hamburg the longest day
has seventeen hours and the shortest has
seven. At Stockholm the longest has
eighteen and half. At st. Petersburg,
the longest has nineteen and the shortest
five hours. At Finland, the longest has
twenty-one and one half, and the shortest
two and one-haif hours. At Wondorbus, in
Norway, the day lasts from the 2lst of May
to the I'd Of July, the sun not getting below
the horizon for the whole time, but skim
ming along very close to it in the North.
At Spitzbergen, the longest day lasts three
months and half.

made the following comparison:

pound would amount to the sum OF so 80.
and the other COW will make 30 pounds in
the same time. which at 30 cents 81 pound
would be SO. double the amount ot the
| first. Now suppose il cos;s $50 year TO

FROM THE LEGISLATURE.

The t",lewifg special telegram of
the 18th to the Nicksburg Herald
will show the state Of feeling at
Jackson:
The Senate, by a vote of 10 to 10,
ousted Morgan late this afternoon,
and adjourned soon after without
doing anything else.
The House is waiting the action
OF the Senate.
The aspect of things political is
unparalleled, and both sides are
doing thei. best The Ames party
threatened military interference, but
whether Saeh a step will be taken
is very doubtful.
Many efforts were made to adj
jOurn the Senate or break quorum,
but "a SPECIAL force of assistant Ser
geantS-at-Armsw was called i'm aud
the inharmoniOus elements kept
together. Everybody is feverish
with excitement, but no serious
trouble or tloodshed is unprecedented.
But it rust be confessed that the
outlook is not hopeful, and the
difference between the ideal and
actual of kss1nanity as shown in this
contest mast he 4 source of pain to
all reflective minds.
There IS, evides1tIy, some trick, or
rascality, contemplated by this au-
gust body. The whole thing needs
close watching.
