only one that will DO it. That is notso. We
have several that are doing as we'll and
Mr.. Reynor's are doing one pound better

VERY LIKE A WHALE.

We can tell you an aneedote
about the condor's power of life. A
miner in Chill, a very strong man,
once saw a condor enjoying hisfeast
on the mountains. He had eaten SO
much that he could not fly and the
man attacked and tried to kill him
The battle lasted a long time, and the
man was nearly exhausted. But in
the end he thought he was the vic
tor, and left the condor dead as(~he
imagined on the field. Some Of The
feathers he carried off in triumph to
show to his companions, and told
themhe had never fought so fierce a
battle. The other miners went to
look at the. condor, when, to their
surprise, he was standing erect, flap
ping his wings, in order to fly away.
A bird with such power Of life, con
tinues to exist years and years. In
deed the condor is said to live for
century. The Indian tries to catch
the condor by ,stratagem, He en-
ploys him to fight in. airing, at those
cruel bull fights, which are the favor
tie amusements in that part of the
world. 9 He does not attempt to at
tack The condor openly ,fof II IL l,4S1ss
how strong he is, and he wishes, be-
sides, to take him alive. He pro-
cures the skin Of a COW, and hides
himself beneath it. Some pieces; of
flesh are left hanging to the skin,
and are sure to attract the condor.
He comes bouncing on the prey, and
while ne is feeding with his usual
greediness the Indian contrives to
tasten his legs on the skin. When
this is done he comes out Of his con
cealment, and the bird ees him for
the hrst time. He flaps his wings,
and would fly but that his feet are
entangled; and more than this, a
number of other Indians come run
ming up and throw their mantles over
him.-Stories about Birds.

FARM ACCOUNTS
From the Prairie Farmer

From the Er8lfI0 4 ATuoE.
Much has been said and truly said,
about the negligence of our farmers
in keeping any true account Of their
products and expenditures,
aud the real progress of
their business from month to
month and from year to year, One
great cause Of this neglect is the
complex and laborious methods of
ordinary commercial accounts, and
the extremely inconvenient and awk-
ward manner in which mostsof our
blank account books are arranged for
their use.
I have recent'y purchased new
form of blank book, devised by Pro
fessors CHAMPION and Brown, of our
commercial college, adapted to the
real uses and necessities of the farm
er, or working man of any class, at
east in its principles. Is
With no more writing than is re-
CURED in an ordinary memorandum
book, all the items Of income and the
cash accounts of The farm are pro-
perly classified on one side, and all
the outgoes and expenses 7on the
other, without any posting or re-
writing; SO that at the end Of any
month, week or year, the farmer can
post up each separate department of
his business; know It's costs and re-
turns, and see now it is moving on.
Two dollars expense for a blank
book will furnish a farmer with full
facilities for thus keeping his account
for many years or, a smaller book
at less price, would answer for short
er time. The book itself also con
tAins all the practical tables of
weight measure and money, rules of
business, &c.. needed to the ordina-
ry farmer, and full. and clear ex-
PLANTATION and sample of the method
in which his ooooup+c ORC r. no Lrop+.
in short, it makes every man his own
expert at book keeping, without
going to school. I have no interest
whatever in the book, but I hope the
publishers will soon, in some way
contrive to get one into your hands
so that you can examine it for your
selves. ~,.v J. B. TURNER.

The sun should never be allowed
to shine on butter or a package con.
tanning butter. More butter is in
iured from the farm house to the vii
lage store and in transportation by
careless, unthinking or wilful par
ties than from all other causes com
'bined. The farmer has an easy and
efectual remedy, an old umbrella for
a shade, green grass or wet Hannels
or any other substitute whereby a
rapid evaporation can be effected, for
the cooling arrangement, and you
can carry your butter for miles to
market IN good condition.
As to the transportation to- eastern
markets, it is to be hoped that no eff
forts will be spared by the different
lines, nor as far as science, money
and proper attention to the subject
is concerned, omitted by them, for
while the farmers prosper they will,
and they cannot prosper unless the
farmer does also. ID. w Ddke iaa

THE KING.

The visit of his sable Majesty Kala-
kaua, of the Sandwich Islands, is one of
considerable importance at this time.
Commissioners from the Hawaiian govern.
ment have for some time been in Wash
ington with the avowed purpose of nego-
tiating a treaty of reciprocity with the
United States; the result of their efforts
have not been made public. The
Hawaiians themselves are the more
anxious to seek closer commercial rela-
tions with us from the fact that they have
witnessed the occupation of the Feejee
group of islands by the British govern
ment, leaving the Hawaiian islands alone
in the Northern Pacific ocean as an indie
pendent government. Being geographic
cally nearly related to us, it is quite as
important that they should not fall into
the hands Of the same foreign power, yet
it is certain they will seek commercial
alliance with the British colonies north
and south of them if they are not encour-
aged by our government.
We believe that Mr.. Seward saw the inn
portance Of closer relationship with the
Hawaiian government some years ago,
and submitted to Congress the basis of a
treaty. 1t was reciprocal, and considered
a fair one commercially. as the basis vas
to admit free of duty in the island ports
goods to equal the value of such products
as might be sent here, also to be free of
duty. 1t was harmless phase of pro-
lection for American products. and it
seemed necessary to compete with British
and German powers trading at the islands.
But Congress acted adversely upon it,
and such treaty was never settled

HOME RULE.

The Democratic party processes to want
home rule in this country, thereby i'm
plying that under Republican administra-
ton of government home rule has been
ignored. It is our present purpose to
show that this is not the "ase, and that
the cry for home rule is simply the
attempted revival of State rights as under
stood by its great champion, Mr.. Calhoun,
and the Southern Democracy. 1t is SIM
ply purpose to again pander to Sec
tional feeling and build anew the fires of
sectional prejudices, until the country
shall be once more wrapt in the flames of
consuming and disastrous civil war.
Home rule. in that liberal and compre-
hensive view which every true American
is bound to take of it, does not confne
itself to the government Of family, of a
municipality, a city, parish or State, but
embraces that grand system of govern
ment which links together the American
Union. "Home' is defined to be
ones dwelling house, or ones coun-
try or place of residence and
.'rule," that which is established for di-
rection, authoritative direction, to govern
by laws. Now, in that catholic view
which every intelligent and patriotic
American citizen is bound to take of this
subject. the Republican party has estab-
lished and maintained the only home rule
in this country that can perpetuate the
national liberties Of the people and de-
eend their country against foreign infu-
nee and foreign rule. It WAS the attempt
made BY the Southern Democracy and
Northern Copperheads to break down

to hope for. q Oh ths Fourteenth Of Sep
tember 5000 armed men appeared ON tn
streets under the command of these men
and the discipline they were enabled to en-
force was remar kable. But there are times
when mob becomes Independent of con
troll, and that period, according to Mr..
Mars admission, has been reached. In
Mr.. Ogden's army were hundreds of hon
orable, responsible men, and there were
hundreds of others who buckled their belts
around empty stomachs and took their
guns in sheer desperation. At the Iron
building merchant was killed and a
pickpocket wounded close together. When
Badger fell it was question whether the
notorious Donovan or the chivalric Kill
patrick should bestow their attentions
upon him first. When the dead policemen
were moved to the Customhouse at night
they. had been robbed of their watches
and jewelry and Masonic emblems, and
their pockets were found turned wrong
side ont.
II is a star Ting calculation our best
stetistician makes. that twenty-five per
cent of the male adults in New Orleans
are without employment. Of course this
army OF idlers is not necessarily vicious.
But hungry stomachs suspend all the
rules Of meum and tua.na. Again, it is said
there are in this city between two and
three hundred survivors of La Roquette
and Pere Ia Chaise; men who brought the
sentiments of the Commune with them in
their exile, and whose reunions in this
city have been no secret to the police.
Perhaps, with these infammable ele-
ments in our city, we are still secure from
their excuses. But Mr.. Mars observa-
ton evokes grave doubts. The hungry
mob, though unreasonable, has keen
instinct. 1t breads the heavy hand Of the
law, but is prompt to. learn when it has
no longer law to dread. And this is the
lesson the Democratic press of New Or
leans has been teaching for the past six
weeks, and the events of the last few days
have proved it. The mob is not interested
in offices, except as way to bread. When
the next dem onstration is made, bread,
and not blood, will be the object. The
warehouse and the bank, not the State
House and police station, may be the OBJ
jective point, and the men who, for po-
litical sentiment, would overthrow gov
will find they have created and |
turned loose Frankenstein that they can
not hold in check.

THE UNION OF nHTHoD1sTs,

The Rev. II. F. johnson, OF Brookhaven,
Mississippi, who is president of White.
worth Female College, and a prominent
representative of the Methodist Church
South, as q portion of the Methodists here
call themselves in contradistinction Of
Northern Methodists, has been strongly
urging the union of the two factions. He
proposes sending peace commissioners to
the next general conference of the North
ern Church, and that honest and earnest
efforts be made to settle all existing diff
culties in the way of religious fraternity.
This is as it should be, although it
comes at late day. The Methodist
Church North and South are really of the
same faith, they claim to be travelling the
same road heavenward, and there is no
reason why they should not ride in the
same car. They preach peace on earth,
and good will to all men, and yet do not
fraternize. They believe in the same
Christ. who came to save all men, and yet
will not unite in their supplications, and
their division is a weakness where there
should be union and strength.
But too much faith should not be put
in conferences, councils or ecclesiastical
congresses. They discuss ritualism,
church doctrines and foreign missions,
and still leave the gap Enclosed, or per-
haps made wider. Evangelical alliances
are formed, and the whole world becomes
akin; but the delegates return to their
homes unp-epared to take all Christians
by the hand because there is Church
South and Church North between them,
even in the same city, as is the case in
New Orleans.
The Episcopal Church, which is the
Church of England, gets on more happily
in the United States, although we are told
some of them omit to pray for "the Presi-
dent of these United States" as if he did
not of all men need prayers most.
Churches of the same faith should be
first to heal old differences, and become a
unit for combating infdelity and the per-
nicious isms taking root in the minds of
the young, that there can be no question
as to which doctor to call when man be-
comes world-weary and sin-sick.
