THE AR1zoNA DIAMOND swNnLr.

The case of Philip Arnold, who has
been under arrest for the last two
weeks, under q demand from the
Governor Of California, was decided
yesterday by Judge H. J. Stites.-
The case, on habeas corpus, was
argued at length on Monday, Arnold
being represented by Muir, Blur &
Davis and Gibson & Gibson, of this
city, and Judge Wintersmith and w.
H. CLelf, Esq, of Elizabethtown;-
and the State Of California being rep
resented by Dupy & Middleton, Of
this city. The Judge took the case
under advisement until ten o'clock
this morning, when he rendered the
opinion below, discharging Arnold
from custody. During the morning
the opinion Of the presiding Judge
had been forshadowed by the tenor
Of his questions, and one of the
friends OF Arnold, a number of whom
had assembled in the Courtroom,
suggested that carriage be stationed
in front of the Courthouse, and that
the instant that Arnold was discharg-
ed to hurry him out, seat him in the
carriage aud drive off. 1t being the
general impression in the minds of
Arnold and his friends that there
was u new warrant in the hands of
the detectives for his arrest, the
strategical move was considered a
good one. 1t was known that Hud-
son had left the city suddenly, and
it was conjectured that having. be-
come sensible Of the defects in the
warrant, he had gone to Frankfort to
have q new one issued. Pending the
reading of the decision, q message
was dispatched to a neighboring
hackstand and carriage procured
and stationed in readiness to receive
Arnold. The prisoner at the bar was
made acquainted with the intentions
of his friends, and no sooner had the
Judge concluded the recital of his
opinion, and had given the order for
the prisoners release, than his
friends at once surrounded him, and
with him in their midst, walked
briskly out of the room, and proceed
cd directly to the hack, into which
Arnold and two or three Of his friends
leaped, and were rapidly whirled

AGRICULTURAL.


The proper time to pull hemp is
any Friday that good judge may
select.
| Castor-oil beans succeed best in
the bowels of the earth. They will
soon work their way out.
The best preparation for hops is q
toad or two in each hill. They will
make the vines fairly jump.
The usual time to put in rye is
early in the morning. Some hus-
bandmen, especially those in the
city, continue, to run it in at inter
walls of half an hour until bedtime.
YThe practice is only allowable in case
of dry season.
In reaping wheat, never take it by
the beard. 1t is found to so against
the grain.
Buckwheat is not healthy food. 1t
is apt to cake upon the stomach,
Corn in the ear is apt to affect the
hearing If eaten green, it will
make the voice husky. When dealt
out as army rations, the'kernel should
always be served first, and then the
men privately.
Never plant your potatoes early.
1t is the early potato that gets the
worm, 1t is uphill work with them
after that.
To be certain of the right kind of
squashes, compare them with your
head In adopting this rule, / first
mistook pumpkins for squashes; but
by continued, careful comparison, l
soon learned to detect the difference.
But for some new beginners it re-
quires great caution.
In making cider out Of apples, I
found it a pretty tight squeeze, not
withstanding my long connection
with the press. Never drink cider
made from crab apples. 1t is pretty
certain to ego back" on you.
A correspondent asks us what we
think of late plowing. Flowing
should not be continued later than
ten or eleven o'clock at night, It
gets the horses in the habit Of stay
ing out late, and unduly exposes the
pillow, We have known plows to ac-
quire springhalt and inhammatory
rheumatism from late plowing. Don't
do it.
The cold weather should suggest
to the humane farmer the necessity
for a good cow shed, The following
is q receipt for making good COW
shed: Pour pailful Of boiling hot
water on her back, and if that don't
make q good COW shed--her hair
we are no prophet, to anybody,
When you make cider, select moth
ing but tho soundest turnips, chop
ping them into sled length before
cradling them. In boiling your ci-
der, use plenty of ice; and when
boiled hang it up in the sun to dry.
To another correspondent who
wants us to suggest good drain on
farm, we would say heavy mort
gage-ten per cent.-will drain it
about as rapidly as anything wo
know of.
In sowing your winter apple-jack,
q horse-rake will be found preferable
to a step-ladder Step-ladders are
liable to freeze up, and are hardly
palitable unless boiled with sugar.
In cutting down homlock trees for
canning, select only the largest.
Don't throw away the chips, as they
make fine parlor ornaments, encased
in rustic frames of salt and vinegar.
A pick-ax should mover be used in
picking apples. 1t has tendency
to break down the vines aud damage
the Hives.

and women we're given q free excur-
sion similar to those given to the
children and 900 aged hearts were
made to forget for O few hours the
sorrows that oppress them. 1t was
indeed a sad sight to old men and
women from so years of age up to
the oldest man and oldest aooman in
the city thus made the recipients Of
charity, it was not unpleasant to hear
the danes Of 80 tell, over their cups
of tea, how they used to do when
they were girls. Our country was

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
The Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company carries coal from
its mines to Philadelphia distance
Of about 100 miles-at the rate of
about 81. 20 per ton.
Wheat and corn are transported
from Chicago to Philadelphia, by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, at
an average rate of S11,55 per ton,
the distance being 925 miles by rail.
From Pittsburgh to New Orleans,
via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
5, 400 miles-coal is transported in
barges, and in very large quantities,
during good stages of water for 81. 60
per ton and the harges at these rates
have paid as high as 20 per cent div
idend per annTm.
If the Philadelphia and Reading
Company, which has the advantage
of canal from its mines to the mar
ket, were to carry coal at the same
rate as the steam barge companies,
the consumer would get his coal for
18 per cent less than now.
Judge Poland's Congressional dis

The New York Times says that tho
estimates for street.cleaning IN that
city during the current year fall but q
few hundreds short Of a million Of
dollars. Five hundred street-sweep-
ers are supposed to be employed dur
ing the whole year, and to supplement
their exertions an additional 100000
is appropriated ITO remove snow and
ice,' For twelve or fifteen weeks in
Winter and Spring the street.sweep-.
ers have no work. The actual exis-
tenco of five hundred sweepers is re-
garded by the skeptical as exceedingly
doubtful; but pay for their services at
the rate of $1,000 per week is drawn
from the city treasury with unim-
peachable regularity, Boss Tweed is
securely immured within the walls Of
tho prison az Blackwelrs Island; but
bis spirit still survives in the Empire
City, in fact, we are forced to the con
clusion that there are worse men than
Tweed out Of Jail.

MIssIsspPI IMPROVEMENTS. SirJno.
Hartley, the eminent English engin-
eer who constructed the jetties at
the mouth Of the Danube, has ad-
dressed q letter to prominent citi-
zen Of New Orleans, in which he de-
nies the statement that those jetties
have not been a perfect and contin-
ued success, and gives some inter
esting advice asto the improvement
of tho mouths Of tho Mississippi.
He thinks that it will be wise to de-
clare for neither o canal nor q jetty
system there until the commission Of
military and civil engineers now at
work has finished its surveys; but he
states that he has long believed that

The DIsTRIoT SAFE BURGLARY. The

ury upon the district safe burglary
shows that the suspicion of q diabol-
ical plot on the part of certain mem-
of the District of Columbia ring to

of the ring has been fully sustained
by evidence elected in careful in
vestigation. Secretary Bristow's &C.
ton in view Of this finding is just
what it ought to have been. He dis

partment who are clearly shown to

..THE BLur ANn aRAY D

The following beautiful poem. entitled "Thd
Blue and Gray" by F. M. Finch. was the irsi
and unquestlonably the finest tribute evoked
from the. literary world by the ceremony Of
Decoration Day. The last verse is written by
the talented lecturess, Mrs. Addie Ballou, now
In Salem, and we regard 1t as the most brilliant
gem Of the tiara;
By the fow OF the inland river,
Whence the fleets OF irou, have fed; NJ
Wherethe blades ofthe. grave grass CULVER.
Asleep are the ranks cf,the dead
Under the sod and the dew,
waiting tho Judgment day.
Under the one the Blue,
Under tho other the Gray,
These in the roblngs Of glory,
Those in the gloom Of defeat:
All with the battle-blood CORY.
In the dusk of eternity meet
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the ejudgment day;
Under the laprel the Blue,
Under the willow the Gray.
From the silence ofisorowful hours
Tho debolate mougners go.
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foo
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting theJudgment day.
Under the roses the Blue,
Under the lilies the Gray.
So, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall,
With touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all.
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting tho judgment day;
Brolderod with gold, the Blue.
Mellowed with gold the Gray.
80, when the summer calleth,
On forest and field Of grain,
With an equal murmIr falleth
The cooling drip Of the rain
Under the 500 and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Wet with the rain the Blue,
Wet with the rain the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraidlng.
The generous deed was done
In the storm Of the years that are fading
No braver battle was won
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment dayi
Under the blossoms the Blue,
Under the garlands the Gray.
No more shall the war cry sever.
Or the winding rivers be red
They Danish our anger forever
Whenthey laurel the graves Of our, dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting thaIudgment day.
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Cray.
Anear In the ether above us,
They gather with none to upbraid,
Andtogether are watcnihg. who love us,
The spirits OF those that were laid
Under the sed and the dew,
Waiting our coming day.
With love that is loyaland true,
United,-the Blue and the Gray.

that Grant is no longer the central

does not do everything that is done
for the benefit Of the people as much
as he did, He is no longer pohti-

veloped in the agitation Of the third
