GREELEY AS CHEsTERF1ELD-Whil L was
in Washington Horace Greeley used OCCASION
ally to visit US there. I remember that he once
breakfast with me- if recollect Alright, tete-a-
tete. Mr. Greeley had long before this discard.
ed Graham bread and vegetable diet, and
had grown to be very hearty devourer OF
animal food After breakfast lighted cigar
and offered one to him, although knew that
he did not smoke. Of course be declined it.
He was in capital humor, and turning to me,
be asked me if knew that he claimed to be
the most polite man in the country. told
him that recognized his many excellent
qualities, but was not aware that he was especi-
ally remarkable for the graces Of politeness.
He assured inc that he Das, and told me that
he had never been beat in politeness but once
in his life. That happend, he said, many years
ago. before the days of railroads. Early one
morning he left Baggs' Hotel, at Utica, in a
stuge-coach westward bound. There was but
one passenger besides himself, gentleman of
very prepossessing appearance, with whom he
soon fell into conversation. After while the
stranger slowly, and, as it were, mechanically
drew cigar case from his pocket, and opening
| it, rendered it to Mr. Greeley, who declined the
proffered offer. The conversation was resumed ;
and presently the stranger, extracting cigar
| from the case, placed it in his mouth and re-
turned the case to his pocket. Another inter-
val of talk ensued when the stranger abruptly
but deferentialy remarked to Mr.. Greeley, II
hope, sir you have no objection to a cigar ?'
"None in the world, sir" replied Mr.. Greeley,
"when it is not aligbt" "Oh," replied his
companion, ri had not the most remote thought
Of lighting it," Thereupop Mr.. Greeley felt
that he had been conquered in politeness; and
he afterward ascertained that the victor was

RAISING CLOVER SEED.--IIaving had
some experience in clover raising, l will
say for the benefit of any who may be in.
terested in the subject, that believe it pro.
duces more milk than either timothy OF
corn fodder, and at the same time / find
that land improves by frequently being
seeded to clover. AS to whether plaster is
indispensable, | have always used it, and
with varied results. The present season
had twenty acres of clover which had in
tended for seed, and to which [ applied
about May 10th, 100 lbs of plaster to the
acre. On examining the heads this fall,
found that very few of them had seed; in
fact, l do not think the twenty acres would
have produced five bushels, and l aban-
doned the idea of cutting it for seed, and
put part in for feeding, and pastured the
remainder. On an adjoining farm I saw
some clover well.filled with seed where no
plaster had been used. There are also
good farmers who will not use plaster, as
they believe it exhausts the soil; most,
however, including myself, believe in the
use Of it, especially in growing clover
where it is not liable to lodge. = Cor. Coun-
tty Gentleman.
