General Butlsr,s indemnity.

It is stated that General BUTLER, who
recently mansuvred the salary business in
the House, has calculated the individual
loss to each person Of the population result
ting from the amount just taken out of the
Treasury for back pay to members OF Con
grsss and he finds it amounts to three cents
apiece. This sum he encloSes to an indig-
nant constituent to indemnify him for his
share in such loss. This may be all very
witty in the General, but does it really
place him in any more enviabls light?
The language of such performance is
simply this: A man takes mony belonging
to several persons and makes off with it
After getting at safe distance, he turns
around and holds parley with his victims
thus; Now, have got your money, and
advise you to make no fuss about it; but II
there are any Of you so stupid as to make a
fuss, l will calculate his share OF the Aggre
gate and return it; that which belongs to
those of you who make no fuss / intend tC
keep myself. And this is the attitude O.
one of the American legislators Of th'
nineteenth century.

Knew all About It.-A friend in Detroit
sends US the following from the police reports
OF that city: A sailor named Burns was
brought into the Central Station yesterday
Afternoon so intexicaisd that be could not stand
unsupported. In fact, he appeared So bsreft OF
intelligence, and the probability was that he
wsuld have to be locked up as "John Doe" or
"Riehard Roe" until he was sufficiently sober
to answer questions. whats ysur name I"
asked the sergeant in charge. Burns evidently
recognized the words as some that he had heard
10 the past, and sndsavorsd to conceutratS his
blsared optics upon the inquirer, but in vain.
There was a beam Of intelligence observable
upon his features, hswSVsr, and when tho
question was repeated in somewhat sternsr
tones, ressllsction returned, and, as ifrspeating
some lesson conusd years since, he gave every
reply 10 the police eatschism without the ques-
lions being asked. "Mchael Burns--3l years

Warming to Politicians.

State Senator Tweed, tumblsd down and car

SIGNS OF MADNESS I'M DOGS.

The British Medical Journal calls at ten
ton to the measures recommended by the
Council of Hygiene of Bordeaux for the
better protection Of the people against the
dangers of hYdrophobia. L. is well UNDER
stood that the madnesso of dogs has period
which is premOnitery and harmless. If
these periods were generally known, the
dogs could be put out of the way before
they became dangerous. On this subject
the Council of Hygiene has issued the fol-
lowing instructions: -
ga short time, sometimes two days, after
madness has seized a dog, it creates syInp-
toms in the animal which it is indispensable.
20 recognize.
81. There is agitation and restlessnf IS,
and the dog tirns himself continually in
his kennel. If be be at liberty, he goes and
comes, and seems to be seeking som ething
when be remains mOtionless, as if W aiting !;
then starts, bites the air as if he would catch
fly, and dsshes himself bowling and bark
ing against the wall. The voice CT his mas
ter dissipates these hallucinations the dog
ooeys, but slowly, With hesitation, as if
with regret.
2, He does Eot tETJ to bite; he is gentle,
even atfectionate, and he eats and drinks,
but gnaSs the litter, the ends of curtains,
the padding of cushions, the coverlids Of
beds, the carpets, etc.
3. Dy the movement OF his paws about
the sides of his open mouth, one might
think he was trying to free his throat of
bone. 81
4. His voice undargoes such 8 change
that il is impossible not to be struck by it.
s. The dog begins to fight with other
dogs; this is decidedly Characteristic sign,
ifthe dog be generally peaceful"
The three symptoms last mentioned in
dictate an advanced period of the disease,
and that the dog may become dangerous al
any moment, if immediate measures are
not taken. 1t is best to chain him up at
once, or, better still, to kill him.
The Boston Medical and Surgical Jour.
nal suggests that this advice may be insert
ed at least once year in the public papers.
II would also seem particularly desirable
and practicable that these rules should b q
pr .nted on the back of notices and receipf 8
for dog taxes. These excellent m'.asur es
ought to be generally adopted.

STEAM PL0WTNG.

The use of steam plows in England
seems to increase. From paper on ''The
Present Aspect If Steam Cultivation" we
CLEAN some facts about the system of hiring
steam blowing done. The price paid is
los. per acre to cultivate once over and
24s., beside coal and water, per acre twice
over. These machines cultivate II to 10
acres per day, and yet cannot Go sll the
work rendered th N md al the time requir-
ed. Hence, less land is put under the
plow than would otherwise be, and such SIS
cultivated by hired steam power, is often
neglected beyond the proper time, because
some other farmer has possession OF the
pillow. August and September are the
months in which, 1t is asserted by all who
have tried it, steam cultivation can be most
profitably employed in the preparation OF
the soil. One English firm makes about
100 steam plows annually, two-thirds Of
which are sold to people who hire them out
to farmers. The greatest obstacle les in
the bad condition of land, from old hedge
rows, bitches and other Instructions to
steam cultivation. Steam machinery, like
the track of an iron railway, if placed ON an
uneven, rough surface is a failure. The
preparation of q field may be costly; but the
work once properly done, is done forever.

FARM AND GARDEN.
IMPORTING FILBERTS.

A late Turf, Field and Farm says of i'm
porting filberts: ave were surprised, on
visiting one of our Broadway fruit shops,
to find fresh filberts, imported from Kent, in
England, selling with their heavy, green
husks on for eighty cents per pound, and
this has been The average for several years.
Why should not our farmers in the Middle
and Southern States grow floerts2 The
climate which will produce good peaches
will also produce il5erts, and all of our
light tobacco lands in the basin of 8 e Che
sapeake are as well suited to their growth
as the soil of Kent, and certainly at the
prices ruling now in New York, o. al even
half these prices filberts would prove the
most profitable product within the whole
range Of agriculture. Nor is the adapta-
tion of the soil and climate of our Middle
States TO the growth of these nuts at sill
problem2tical, for they have been grown in
q small way on some Of the old homesteads
in Virginia for more than hundred years."
FHberts belongs to class of foreign fruits
about which our farmers know very little.
There are few English farmers settled in
this country who cultivate them at large
profit. Our climate in Tennessee is adapt
ed to the tree and its fruit.
