An Ohio hog raiser advocates the system
of pasturing on clover during the summer
lie presents, as the advantage of this plan,
the statement that an acre of ground in
elovOr will pasture five hogs four months,
and that it will take tho corn from half an
acre to feed Thorn the same time. The cul-
tivation of the corn no counts equal to the
rest of the other half acre. lilo further
claims that hogs pastured on clover are in
far better condition than If fed on corn, as
they are better framed, healthier, and cat
better, and also states that the land is en-
riched by the clover pasturing.

DUCHESS OF EDENRORO

j Ii the young Duchess Of Eden
| boro does not read the Bible it will
8 not be for want OF possessing the
good book, nor for want of the hint
that she is expected to read it,
which various Bible societies have
given her in the guise of Biblical
wedding presents. The British and
Foreign Bible Society in London
sent the Princess by the Dean Of
Westminster q Russian Bible:
handsomely bound in three volumes,
The first volume of this Bible con-
tains tho first eight books of the
Old Testament done in Russ, tho
version authorized by the Emperor
Alexander I. The second volume
contains tho rest Of the Old Testa-
ment, translated by the learned
Russian professors Livischa and
Chivolsoy, at the cost of the British
and Foreign Bible Society, from the
original text. The third volume
gives the Now Testament, following
the edition authorized by the 'sHoly
Synod" or Supreme Council of the
Russian Church. The popularity
OF the translation thus presented to
tho Duchess of Edinburgh is that
it is tho only one which presented
the whole Bible in a version of
modern Russ, tongue not essen
TALLY different from the old Sclavo-
mic, but exceedingly useful for the
general understanding Of tho Scrip
lures by the uneducated masses.
Tho gift Of the Bible was acknowl-
edged by the Grand Duchess in q
few gracious words, which showed
how we'll she understood tho value
OF tho work. The Grand Duchess
also received with like expression
Of gratitude a Russ Bible presented
by Baron Kroff; DR.: Kalron, and
others, on behalf Of the Russian
Bible Society. 1t may be added
that the Grand Duchess has also
received fine copy of tho outhor-
zed version Of the English Bible, a
present from one of the most distin-
'uished Indies Of the Imperial
Court, herself q dovout member OF
he Eastern Church."

ENGLISH PAUPER ElNIGRd-
ITON. !

| MIR. Ruskin remarked, not long
ago, that the aristocracy of Groat
Britain had for generations been
reared in tho belief that for them
selves life was a perennial picnic, in
which they were to do nothing but
enjoy themselves and be waited
upon by their social interiors. Tho
Pal Mall Budget raises its voice in
warning that a sudden change is
coming in this respect. Paupor
emigration was never thought of by
the wealthy classes; tho voluntary
exile into which poverty md starva-
tion drove the thousands of work.
men was unhoodod by them. Now,
says the Budget, tho organized plan
Of emigration, which is tho only
hope for the alloviation of the suf-
fcrings Of the middle class, the bono
and sinow of English society, is
reducing the population perceptibly.
''The population OF this country"
says the Budget, twill be reduced
to what is vulgarly called upper ten
thousand" md these will havo to
lead very deterrent life from that
they have been accustomed to-"
They can afford to lose notime, it
points out, in realizing that their
picnic has come to an abrupt con-
clusion, because their servants havo
been obliged to go in search of food;
that the fun is over, and they must
begin to face the serious duties of
life, unaccustomed to it as they are.
and untitled forit as they must be
by generations of Incidence and

Dosirous Of allaying animosities,
Of oblitcrating the memory of the
bitter past, of promoting harmony
and union among all classes and
between all interests, we shall |
advocate the removal of all disabili- |
ties, foster kindness and forbear-
anee, where malignity and resent
ment reigned, and seek for fairness |
and justice where wrong and op-
preston prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, we shall con-
serve our best interests, and elevate
our noble State, to an enyiable posi-
tlon among her sister States, by the
development Of her illimitable re-
sources, and secure the full benefits
OF tho mighty changes in the history
and condition Of the people and the
country. !:
Believing that there can be no
'suo ': liberty without the supremacy
0' law, We shall urge strict and
a'nalscrlminating administration OF
justice. |.

LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS.

The San Francisco I0st advances an
original theory with reference to leg
islaiive sessions. 1t suggests that leg
islatures should be made permanent.
That would be an infliction which the
country could hardly survive for any
great length Of time. The fact is, there
are two many Legislative sessions al
ready. But here is what the Post SAYS
on the subject:
Instead oi meeting once in every two
years, and being in session l2UdaV,two-
thirds OF which are spent bv member>
III becoming acquainted with each 9Th
er, and with the business they are
called upon To to do, suppose the Leg
l>lature inet once every month. or
once every three months, and cOntin-
ucd in session "A week at a time, laws
being proposed at one session being
acted upon at the next. Under this
plan, members would have an oppor-
tunity of consulting their constituents.
and every public measure would be
thoroughly understood and discussed
before bel acted upon. Nor would
the expense be any larger than under
the present system. IN these days of
railroad communication. a journey
from their homes to the capital i, a
matter of trivial moment TO most
members.
