WASHINGTON MATTFRS.

strong petition from fifty Of the leading
banks of New York city has been presented
to the House protesting against imitation, and
exposing much alarm at the prevailing ten
dency of the House to add to the circulation.
The Ways and Means Committee, having
defeated Kelley's convertible bond bill, had a
long session, Thursday, for the purpose OF
agreeing upon another measure which they
wish TO engraft on the legal tender bill
They were unable to decide, and each men,
Der of the committee will be allowed to offer
amendments in the House.
Members of the House Committee On Rail-
roads and Canals doubt whether there will be
any opportunity to bring any transportation
scheme before the House this session, except
the bill Of McCrary providing for the appoint
ment of Commissioners to regulate railroad
fares and freight, and perhaps the bill for the
construction of the St. Phillip Canal.
Among the many petitions presented to Con-
gress is that of Dr. Zacharie, praying for
compensation for his professional service as a
chropodist, rendered on the feet of soldiers
of the Union Army, during the late war, in
the sum of $4,000. The claim is supported
by the testimony of Federal officers.
Senator Anthony presented petition Thurs
day asking such notifications Of the law gov

men. One proposed change is, that when
sailor brings an action agains. his captain on

precedence of all others in the United States
Courts, to prevent the scattering Of witnesses.
Another is, that a verdict against captain for
ill-treatment of sailor shall be lien on the
vessel on which the crime was committed.

buildings, which practically stops all work,
except in cases where buildings are fully un-

The course of the Boston School Com
mittee in excluding the women elected to
seats in the Board meets with sharp re-
buke from the local papers. The Adyer-
tiser hold that the women elected have
the same right to sit in the committee
that Other members have, and says: "li
women had been elected in more than
half the wards instead of in three only, it
would have been an odd use OF their power
to see them voting to vacate the seats OF
the men, 1t is to be regretted that so
conspicuous precedent has been fur
nished for such n course, should the OPP
portunity ever occur for its exercise"

exclude women from the School Commit

fogyism, but of sort of prejudice which,
to be consistent, should seek to Danish

gether. 1t is by no means question OF
woman's rights, but is pure necessity OF
public education the experience OF Lon
don and other English and American cities
is ample to prove the great utility of lady
members of school boards; and the Com
mittee, if they heed the mass of public
opinion and regard the real merits of the
case, will do well to take the fiat of the
electors as valid on the face of it, and
leave the legal side of the question TO
future developments.

to have proved themselves without foun'

GRASS AND HAY FOR MULCH
COWS.

A correspondent of the Utica Her
aid holds the following ground in re-
latlon to the feeding Of mich cows
on grass and hay. The important
point to Western dairymen is one
made in relation to cutting hay when
young:
[ find that grass alone, whether
green or cured, answers all purposes
the year round (by grass, I include
clover, with this one important qualif
cation-that it be cut green and well
cured. This makes about half differ
ence; that is, there is about as much
available substance in one pound of
green feed dried, as in two pounds
when ripe. I know instances where
COWS have been kept during the Win
ter on twenty-five pounds ofripe hay
per day. They were, of course, not
in good condition. But, instead,
double the available nutrltive sub
stance, which an equal weight (twen-
ty-fye pounds) of green dried hay
would have furnished, and you would
have had double the nutritive bene-
fit. which would have brought your
COWS to high condition. Or sup
ply the deficiency by grain, sufficient
to reach this condition, ana the
amount would have been censidera-
bly, more than is usually fed with old
ripe hay, showing thus that good
green hay takes the precedence over
the usual ripe hay and grain, being
besides much cheaper.
Grass, green or dried, if of a good
quality, and fed all that is wanted,
will produce a maximum, or very
nealy a maximum quantity of milk,
the superior quality of the milk more
than making up what may be lacked
in quantity, so that so far as milk
alone is concerned, grass (green or
dried) stands first as feed, surprising
all other feeds, whether single or
And it will sustain the
animal while giving Emilk and while
IN calf, and fat her when free of the
drain. Grain doubtless would aid in
the fattening process J

DON'T RELY ON CORN ALONE.

The Western Farmer says: The
indications are decidedly in favor of
having a goo6 price for corn d1ring
the summer and next fall and Win
ter In view of this it is especially
important that farmers should make
provision to secure as much growth
and flesh for their stock during the
summer as prac ticable, and to pro
vide food that will take the place of
corn to some extent. IF there is a
good field of clover for the hogs, this
willsaVe the corn during the sum-
mer. We wish there was more at
tention Fpaid to root growing for
stock feeding Some farmers have
found peas very profitable crop for
feeding from the field, sown either
alone or with oats. A great growth
ofpumpkins can be secured and they
are we'll worth their cost. Corn
thlckly sown in drills is not only val
liable for cattle but for hogs in early
fall.
