Those Americans who fear the open
ing of artistic and literary collections to
the public on Sundays as something
thoroughly wrong aud unchristian, says
the Tribune, will be interested in the
fact that follows. A petition to the
British House of Commons In favor OF
the opening Of the museums on those
sacred days has just been signed by l46
clergymen Of the Church Of England,
aud other ministers Of Christ. +" The Pc
titioners state that in their opinion the
opening of museums, libraries, and art
galleries on the afternoon Of Sunday
wonld greatly promote the moral and

Western papers continue TO
give cheering accounts ofthe pres
poets of crops in the great grain
producing regions. Wheat new
er looked better. they say; it is
aim ost half grown and but little
injured by the winter freezing.
A st. Louis paper says that Mis-
souri, will yield q third more
wheat this year than last. The
oats crop also promises well. The
meadows are in excellent condi-
ton and the yield of hay will ex-
coed the average. Fruit is but
little injured, is now out of dam
ger from frost and will be album
dant. Nothing can be safely pre-
dicted of the corn crop, but there
is no evident influence to prevent
a bountiful yield.

Improvement in Window Frames.

TO all achom 1t may Concern
Be it known that /, SAMUEL
HARE, of Martinsburg, in the
county of Berkeley and State
of West Virginia, have invent
ed a new and improved Win
dow Frame, of which the fol
lowingis a specification
In the accompanying draw
ing, Figure l represents a see
tional side elevation of my inn
proved window frame, taken

ed. Fig. 2 shows horizontal

Similar. letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts.
The object of my invention
is to construct an improved
box window frame, which is
simpler, cheaper and more du-
rable than the frames hitherto
in use, and allows, also, the
easy detaching of the saslies,
cords, and weights for repairs,
and the neat construction of
the frame in cast iron and other
material. My invention con
sists in producing the box
frame, with its dividing strips,

the sash guiding piece, which is
also made laterally oi.one piece

ence on the subject. Three books were
brought in from the archives of the foreign
office. The first contained an autograph letter
from Napoleon III, asking Russia to join
with Engla and France in breaking up the
Federal blockade and guaranteeing the inde-
pendence of the Confederacy. The letter as
serted that England had already promised
her cooperation, which was probably lie.
The second book contained The Emperor's re-
ply. He fatty declined the alliance proposed
by Napoleon, and declared that, in the event
of any European interference in the war,
Russia would actively aid the North. The
third book had within it copies of the sealed
order given to the Russian Admiral, who, as
our readers will remember, brought his fleet
into New York harbor during the war. The
orders directed him to proceed at once, with
his whole available force, to New York city ;
to remain at anchorage there for sometime
and, in the event of European interference
with the blockade, to put himself and his
whole force at the command of the Cabinet
in Washington, and promise abundant and
speedy reinforcements. While Governor Cur:
tin stared, dumb-founded, at these unexpected
proofs of Russias steadfast fidelity to the
Union cause GortschakofF said to him: "Per'
haps you can appreciate now, sir, why the
Emperor and Empress sent their thanks to
the people who have honored the Grand Duke
Alexis, and not to the government that has
insulted him. We saved your country, and
now your President insults our representative
1t is too much" Curtin quite agreed with
him, and the interview ended. We have eve
ry reason to trust the gentleman from whom
we have received this story. twill probably
be found substantially correct, although there
may, of course, be errors in detail Chicago

WORTH KNowrNG.-Dr Glass, living near
CRANKY, who is clearing up new farm, has
been troubled with large number Of big oak
stumps. He had heard that saltpetre was
good for stumps. Accordingly, about a cou.
pie of months ago he sprinkled on the top of
each stump about tablespoonful of pulver-
lied saltpetre. A few days ago he set fire to
the stumps, and says they commenced and
continued to burn until every stump was to-
tally consumed, roots and all, so that he was
able to plow without the least difficulty over
the very ground formerly occupied by the
same stumps. He says some of the stumps
burned four or FIVE days. Farmers, try the

POSTAL FAc1L1T1Es.-The recent change
in the postal laws promises to make our post
Office department most important agency
for the convenience and advantage of our
people, outside of its ordinary province OF
transmitting letters and papers. Under the
operation Of the new and reduced rates tor
matter other than "sealed letters" the post
Office department will soon become the most
perfect and the most expeditions, as well as
the cheapest and safest express for the delive'
ry of small and expensive parcels that there
is in the world and if availed Of by cur peo-
pie to the extent that is possible, the new sys..
tenn will create an era in some branches OF
business little short of revolution, by which
the residents of cities, villages, or country
places thousands of miles distant may do their
ashopping" in the Metropolis without visiting
it. and be enabled to deal directly and at first
hands with our dealers in every branch of
merchandise. By the new rates, to which we
have alluded, the careful transmission and
prompt delivery of merchandise parcels is un-
dertaken by the postofice department throug b
the mails at the low rate of one cent for each
two ounces on parcels weighing four pounds
or less.

Spelling HORSES FEET.-It is almost i'm
possible to get a horse shod without having
the frog cut away. All veterinary surgeons,
all horsemen, all leading blacksmiths, agree
that the frog should not be pared one particle,
not even trimmed No matter how pliable
and soft the frog is, cut it away smooth on all
sides, and in two days it will be as dry and
hard as chip. You might as we'll cut all
the leaves off trees and expect them to -four
ish as to pare away the frog and have a
healthy foot. The rough spopgy part Of the
frog is to the foot what the leaves are to the
tree-the lungs. Never have red'hot shoe
put upon the foot to burn it level. If you
can find blacksmith that is mechanic enough
to level the foot without red.hot iron employ
him. If you do not think so, try the red hot
poker on your 6nger.nail, and see how it will
effect the growth of that. There are many
other important points in shoeing horses but
these two are of more Importance than all the
rest, level to the apprehension Of men not
skilled in horses, and the two most disre'
garded.

A HIGH PRICED RoosTER.-Two thousand
dollars seems to be pretty steep price to pay
for a rooster, but such we are informed was
the amount paid to Ira Bachelor of the Mt.
Crawford House, for his black Spanish rooster,
called General CASTELAR,. The purchaser,
Mr.. William G.. Davis, civil engineer on the
Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, considers
him the best game bird in this country-he
being the only one hatched from dozen eggs
brought from Mantanzas, Cuba. Various
bids were made by different parties in this
city to secure him, one gentleman, in particu-
lar, now prominent in the lumber business,
offering his entire interest in the largest mill

IF there is one word in the English

Ma. There is sweet tenderness about the
name of Ma that the pen fails to describe.
Wherever we may 60, however exalted or de-
pressed, the circumstances of life may make
US, the influence of that blessed name still re-
mains. 1t is our ma who directs the tiny feet
in their first struggles; it is our ma who
teaches the prattling tongue to express the
childish thought, and it is our ma who, as we
advance in mature life, through all the stages
ofyouth, implants within us thepurer though

1t is not necessary, then, for us to consider
what was the nature of the interest remaining
in the judgment debtor and his family under

plaintiff does not put himself in a proper po-

right of possession. The appeal should be

D1scoNTENr.-some people are never con-
tent with their lot, let what will happen.
Clouds and darkness are over their heads,
alike whether it rain or shine. To them eve
~ incident is an accident or calamity. Even
when they have their own way, they like it no
better than your way, and, indeed, consider
their most voluntary acts as matters of COM
pulsion. We saw striking illustration the
other day of the infrmity we speak of. in the
conduct of child about three years old. He
was crying because his mother had shut the
parlor door. "Poor thing" said a neighbor,
compassionately, "you have shut the child
out" "It's all the same to him." said the
mother; "he would cry if l called him in and
then shut the door. It's popularity Of that
boy, that if he is rather suddenly on either
side of door, he considers himself shut ou:
and rebels accordingly" There are older
children who take the same view Of things
