The English Mechanic says, Messrs.
McDonne and Leuchan, of Dublin,
have invented machine which performs
the operations of rolling, sowing, and
narrowing simultaneously. The roller
is of wrought iron, riveted on cast-iron
wheels, forming a cylinder six feet in
length by three feet in diameter. Imme-
diately above the roller is a sowing APP
paratus, by which the seed is rapidly
delivered, star wheel of four points
keeping the conductors in constant mo-
ton. As the seed is strewn harrow
of four rows of oblique teeth set in a
central axis turns up the earth over the
seed. The harrow Is kept In motion by
On endless chain or belt which passes
round the extreme end of the large
cylinder, and fits the groove of small
wheel at the corresponding end of the
harrow Every time tho large roller
turns over, the circular harrow turns
nearly five times, causing the teeth to
tear up the soil about twenty times at
each of the revolutions. Meantime the
ed-conductor and distributor rises and
falls twelve times during each of these
revolutions, and there is a continuance
by which the quantity required to be
sown can be regulated. A lever is also
connected with the supports of the har-
row, and rest upon fulcrum placed at
a suitable part of the frame of the ma
chine. By means of this lever the har-
row portion of the machine can be
raised off the ground and the roller only
used and the distributor or sower may
be worked simultaneously by means of
the chain-band, which can be closed and
the TOW of seed stopped. The machines
can be easily made to suit either the
purposes of sowing corn or grass for
pasturage.

Tree.Planting.

A correspondent of the Farm, Journal
gives the results OF experiments in the
way of planting forest trees, as follows ::
In April, 1868, I planted about two
acres of cottonwood seedlings, of
one years growth; they were about
eighteen inches high. The trees we're
planted four feet apart each way, which
l think is about the right distance, as
by close planting we get more growth
in the trunks and less in the lower
branches. / marked the ground one
way, and planted across the marks with
a spade, which think is the best way.
In this way / got the rows straight
enough to cultivate well both ways,
which is important. My trees were
cultivates two seasons. Since that they
have had no care. They are now from
twenty to thirty feet high, and growing
finely. In 1869 planted some cotton
wood cuttings in the same way, but
neglected to cultivate them. The re-
suit is, they are not half as large as
those year older. 1 have planted
trees and cuttings of different kinds by
setting them in a deep furrow and turn
ing another furrow against them this
does very well on a hedgerow or for a
narrow belt. In planting black walnut,
my method is to bury the nuts in dry
place in the fall, and plant them about
corn planting time tie next spring,
four feet apart each way. Cover two
or three inches deep. Timber planted
in this way may be allowed to stand till
the trees are large enough for fuel or
fencing then thin them out as occasion
requires. have sowed small guam
tity of honey-locust seed the present
season, which is growing well. Gather
the seed in the fall, and when dry,
pound the seed out of the pods with a
stick. When the ground is ready, say
about the first of May, give the seed a
good scalding, and plant on clean
ground and cultivate well. Two cotton
wood seedlings planted in prairie sod in
4he spring. of 1867, and mulched the
same summer, were killed by fire last
fall one of them measured twenty
seven inches in circumference, the other
trifie less. As the cottonwood tree is
perhaps the fastest growing native tree
in Nebraska, would first plant grove
of that, then black walnut, soft maple,
hickory, honey-locust, red elm. etc. 1
have had very little experience with
any but native trees.

THURSDAY, Jan. 15-Senate.-A numbss, of


The House Committee on Railways
and Canals has prepared a bill to regu-
late the rates for the transportation of
passengers and freights on all the rail-
roads in the country. 1t begins by de-
claring that every line of railroad shall
be considered as engaged in commerce
between the States, and that any road
that exacts unreasonable toll shall be
punished for extortion. 1t provides for
the appointment of Board of Railroad
Commissioners by the President with
the consent of the Senate, one of whom
shall be chosen from each of the judicial
circuits of the country; and this Board
shall thoroughly investigate the Whole
subject of rates for transportation on
the various railways, and draw up
schedule of maximum prices which the
road may charge. These schedules shall
be filed in the Office of the Clerk of the
Court, and certified copies of them shall
be posted in each of the offices and de-
pots of the several roads. In other
words, the maximum rates of transpor-
tation on each of the railways of the
country shall be fixed by the Govern
ment

Death of a Good Old Horse.

A remarkable old horse called Charlie,
the property of Mr.. Dexter E. Wadleigh,
of Boston, died recently at the age of
twenty-five. He was never sick except
during the epizootic of 1872. Probably
no horse was ever more attached to his
master or more anxious to do his bidding
than Charlie. He has Travelled seventy
miles in one day without exhibiting ia
tigue, and was as fresh as ever for the
next days work. During one year his
owner drove him over 8, 900 miles. When
purchased, Charlie was inclined to be
balky, and would stop suddenly; but
his master never struck him with whip,
choosing rather to conquer him with
kindness, in which he was successful.
He was usually driven in a chaise; and
when these contrary notions would seize
him, his master would turn him in q
large circle, working patiently and kind
ly with him for few moments, when he
would be call right" By this method
Mr.. Wadleigh soon succeeded in break
ing him of the habit entirely. During
the twenty five years he never struck
the horse blow that he would be un-
willing to receive upon his own back.
Charlie was SO familiar with his masters
step that he would always turn toward
him as he approached, and greet him
with an affectionate whinny.

The Money Value of an Immigrant.

A statement of the total immigration,
from the earliest records of our national
history, including the fiscal year 1873,
ending June Both, makes the grand ag-
gregate of about s, $50, 800. An analy-
sis of our population shows that nearly
fifteen per cent. of it is made up of
actual immigrants, and that twenty five
per cent. is of unmixed foreign popula-
ton. In addition to the enormous in
crease of SECRETARY movement, the direct
contribution to the national wealth, in
the form of active capital brought by the
immigrants to this country, is an i'm
portant consideration. Reckoning each
immigrant to be worth $500 to the coun-
try, we have the enormous sum of ST.
600, GAO, 900 added to the national wealth
since immigration commenced, and
probably five-sixths Of this sum have
been added since 1920, and constituting
nearly third of the annual produc-
tions of the several years. Since 1920
the wealth added to the country an
nually by this new eiviizing element
has been about $1,000, 00O, 900, and, at
the rate of immigration for the year
ending June 30, 1873, the grand total
for the decades would beabout S19, 647,-
494, 200. The States increasing in wealth
most rapidly have been those which have
secured the largest number of immi-
grants. All the Western States, es-
pecially, owe much of their progress and
prosperity to the elements from abroad.

The Bank of England rate IS now 4
per cent, and everything begins to wear
more prosperous look in England, as
well as here. During the last two years
constant drain of gold has been going
on, resulting from the decision of the
German Government in 1871 to adopt a
gold standard instead of the mixed cur
rencies, which had previously been in
use, mainly based on silver standard.
For this purpose, the general stock of
gold throughout the world had TO be
drawn upon, and this resulted in sue
cession of monetary spasms, gradually
increasing in intensity, amounting in
1873 to panic, or something like a
panic, in every gold-using country. As
the difficulty was aggravated by the
crash in this country, the general strin-
gency found its way at last to the center
of exchange in London, and sent the
bank rate up to 9 per cent, from which
it has suddenly dropped 70 Al. The
German Government has now issued
ESQ, 600, 600, sum which, it is calcu-
lated, viii replace the old currency, and

CAPITAL appears in England to have
learned a. lesson from labor. On the
principle of fighting fire with fire. it now
proposes to meet combination with COM
bination. For this purpose, the En-
glish manufacturers and capitalists have
formed society called the National
Federation of Associated Employers of
Labor. In awaiting itself of the same
weapons which the trades unions use,
the association distinctly disclaims any
aggressive intentions. It will publish
an organ, watch every Legislative meas
ure which tends to affect the relations
between employers and employees, and
seek TO give to education, intelligence,
and capital" their fair share of infu-
ence in the constituencies. The asso-
citation includes the names of the most
wealthy manufacturers in the country,
and represents body which employs
about two millions of workingmen.

An American has come forward with
q fresh notion, which ray entirely revo-
lutionize the world of billiards. The
gifted person filings away the time-hon-
Ored cue and undertakes to conquer his
opponents by simply substituting his
nose in its place. In report of
match played with Dufton the other
is very simple. Button plays a break
with the cue in the usual way, and as
soon as he leaves off Jefferson bends
over the table, taps the ball with his
nose, and rolls it into a pocket or car
oms from it on the other ball" There
are undoubtedly some advantages In
thus dispensing with the cue. The
player, we presume, is not obliged to
chalk his nose.-London Daily Nesrs.

The Story of Lincoln's Proclamation.

Mr.. Seward told me the story of the
Emancipation Proclamation. Day after
day the most earnest and acrimonious
debates took place in relation to the
propriety or IMPROPERLY of the Presi-
dent issuing such proclamation. Al
though an attentive listener to these
discussions of his Secretaries, Mr.. Lin
coin did not take active part In them.
SO much was this the case that several,
at least, of his advisers were very un-
certain as to what his ultimate deter
mination would be- So bitter did the
controversy grow that it resulted, after
a time, not only in breach of personal,
and to some extent, even official, rela-
tions between certain of the Cabinet
officers, but eventually even in a pro-
longed discontinuance of Cabinet
meetings. During the ieterregnum
matters which had been usually dis
oussed and dispoeed of at such meetings
had to be settled y inter-departmentai
correspondence. One of the other
Secretarie3, with the obvious purpose
of aunoying-I use mild word-Mr.
Chase, addressed several very important
official communications directly to me,
ignoring the head of the department.
This condition of things lated until
Mr.. Seward received an autographs
letter from the President requesting him
to attend, without fail, meeting of the
Cabinet which he proposed to hold on
the morrow. ALI the other Secretaries
received similar letters, and not one of
them knew or entertained any confident
conjecture about the particular purpose
for which they were called together.
At the appointed time Mr. Lincoln
waited until they were all assembled.
having been unusually reticent to the first
corners. He then addressed them
somewhat as follows Gentlemen,
have asked you to come here that I may
have the opportunity of reading to you
a proclamation Which l am about to
issue. Before proceeding to read it,
however, desire to say that not only do
l not invite any discussion about the
propriety or improperly of its issue,
but that am unwilling to listen to any.
My mind is made up. On the contrary,
as to matters of form, wish you to
make any suggestions that may occur to
you" He then drew from his pocket
manuscript, and, to the amazement of
some, if not all of, those assembled,
proceeded to read the emancipation
proclamation. When he had finished,
for while nobody spoke. Mr.. Seward
was the first to break the silence, and
to recommend verbal alteration. Mr..
Lincoln adopted it without a word of
objection. Other gentlemen suggested
further changes. Mr.. Lincoln accepted
them all without discussion. When no.
body had any more suggestions to
make, the meeting broke up, and the
ministers soon dispersed. The next
day the emancipation from slavery of
4,0O0,0 900 human beings in the United
States was published to the world. Mr..
Lincoln had waited until the people
were ripe for it and, what he had first
looked upon as inopportune, he at last
regarded as expedient and necessary
