Ny ground is clayey, and will grow

for me to clip of the runners when the

spring as the ground can be worked I
prepare the ground and set the plants.

covered with plants. In the latter part
of the season, when the beds become

Many a wheel is ruined by oiling too
plentifully. A well-made wheel will
endure constant wear from ten to twenty
years, if care is taken to use the right
kind and proper amount of oil; but if
this matter is not attended to, the wheel
will be used up in five or six years, or
it may be sooner. Lard should never
be used on wagon, for it will pene-
trate the hub, and work its way around

S011jng stock.

Pasturing cattle, says the New York
Times, more especially feeding stock
and dairy COWS, is on many accounts. a
wasteful system. Every movement of
the muscles of an animal results in a
waste of the tissue or substance of the
body, which must be restored by the
consumption of food. In an ordinary
pasture COW will travel many miles
during several hours in collecting her
food each day, thus using up q consid-
cradle p ortion of her food in the pro:
cess of feeding. A large portion of the
surface Of the pasture is trodden over
and buried beneath the droppines. and
this is wasted or destroyed. The ma
nure dropped by the animal is wasted
either by being washed away. or being
dried up, or by lying to thick in one
place. All these wastes largely reduce
the produce of the land, or the benefit
which the animal derives from it.
Again, pasture bears but one kind of
crop, which after it has matured, is of
very little further use during that sea-
son. The result Of all this is that from
four to eight acres of land are required
to maintain COW throughout the year.

crops to feed stock, and combining the
stock to yards OF sheds, one acre or less

Prizes Offered for Railroad Invention

Prizes Ohered Tor Railroad Inventions.
An excellent movement has been
made by the (" Union of German Rail-
road Administrations, in Offering valu-
able prizes for the invention of con-
trivance by means of which the coupling
OF railway cars can be effected without
the necessity Of stepping between the
cars. The invention submitted for
competition must have been tried prac-
tically on one of the railroads belonging
to the Union, previous to the sending
in OF papers, and the proposition for
the award of the prizes must emanate
from and be supported by one of the
said railroads. The papers must also so
explain the invention by illustrations,
drawings, models, ETC., that an opinion
can be easily formed OF it's quality,
practicability, and working. ana must
be sent in to the head of the Admins
tration, at Berlin, before the LIST of Ju-
ly, 1874. The examination of the plans,
as we'll as the decision, whether general
or in the form of an award of prizes,
will be undertaken by committee of
twelve members, appointed by the
confederation. The premium does not
debar the inventor from patenting the
device and enjoying the benefit of the
patent.

The Strange Guest.

The gifted Sargent 8. Prentiss once
gave sumptuous dinner to some
friends at hotel at Vicksburg. Early
in the evening stranger entered the
room in amistake. Prentiss courteous
~ invited him to join the party. Before
long the strange guest began boosting
of how much he had drank during the
day-a cocktail here, a smasher there,
a julep in this place, sling in that,
and so on, apparently without end.
At last Prentiss said:
''Sir, do you believe in the doctrine
of metempsychosis?"
II don't know" was the reply, land
I don't see that it has anything to do
with what we were talking about"
"It has, "rejoined Prentiss, "much-
much every way. have firm faith in
that doctrine. I believe that in the
next life every man will he transformed
into the thing for which he has best
qualified himself in this. In that life,

Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Senate took
up the currency question.
Senator Frelinghuysen said, some weeks
ago, when the civil rights bill was under
discussion upon his statement, that II the
bill should be referred to the Judiciary
Committee it would be reported back sooner.
the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr.
Sumner) agreed to the reference.
He (Frelinghuysen) desired now to state
that the committee had spent two days per-
fecting the bill. 1t was now ready to be
reported to the Senate, having received the
approval of majority of the committee,
but as the author of the bill had been taken
away. he (Frelinghuysen) would not report
the bill or call it up until the chairman OF
committee (Edmunds), who favors it should
be present, that he might take part in the
debate.
A resolution was adopted to inquire into
the judicial expenditures OF the southern
district Of Georgia.
A bill was passed to remove the political
disabilities Of Thomas Hardeman, Sr., OF
Georgia.
large number of petitions were pre-
sented, both for and against an increase in
the volume of currency, and referred to the
Finance Committee.
The House was engaged all day on the
legislative appropriation bill.

COurt Items.

Two Important decisions in Louisiana
cases have been rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The case of
United States vs.. Jones decides that deed
of a sale of land executed and delivered by
the solicitor of the treasury completes a
valid sale under the act of 1880, he being a
public officer known to the law, and re-
verses the decision of the circuit court.
That of Burke VS.. Tegre and Miltenberger
decides that our Supreme Court erred on
the ground that the Judgment in favor Of
Miltenberger rendered by the provisional
court, on which the court relied, was void,
either because the civil authority was
restored or because the restraining order of
General Banks was in full force and effect.
The Fifth District Court again suffers by
being reported in the Times. No matter
how clear Judge Cullom may be in his ex-
position of the law, or precise in his state
ments of fact he finds his labor thrown
away when that paper has anything at all
on the case. Those who are puzzled to
know what Judge Cullom meant in the
case Of Burke VS.. Power will find his de-
csion reported in full in our court record.

wero exceedingly tasteful and suggestive.
The Hibernia Insurance building on Camp
street was particularly noticeable from the
profusion Of ornament. Evergreens and
flags were tastefully draped in front, and
IN the centre was a statuette OF ST. Patrick
in his bishops robes. Scores Of green flags,
emblazoned with the harp of Erin, we're
hung from across the streets. TIE news
paper offices were all decorated, and par,
ticularly tine Office OF the Morning Star,
which had for principal motto, Erin
" Birthplace of poets, saints and sages;
Home of faith, held pure through ages;
Dear thy fields in sunllght's laughter
bearer still when bathed in slaughter
Erin, of blessed lake and river,
Thy children hold thee first foreverw
Around the gallery evergreen, in graceful
festoons, was draped, and to the flag Of
Erin was inscribed:
"All hail the flag of green and gold
The sunburst bright and shining,
Which ever DER the darkest cloud
Showed edge OF silvery lining"
In many other streets on the route and at
Magazine Market the decorations were fine,
but the sudden onslaught of Jupiter Piuvius
checked the desire for more extended OBJ
servation.
The procession moved from its point Of
departure to Esplanade street, thence up
Chartres and Camp to Julia, where the
descending floods pat an end to further ad-
vance. The march was then ordered for
Canal street again, and there the procession
was broken and the branches returned to
their quarters.
When the various branches were dis
missed it would have been natural for them
to have instantly shielded themselves from
the weather by seeking their homes; but
such is not the style Of the sons of Erin.
When they turn out on the day of Ireland g
patron saint, they deem it their duty to ex-
tend the compliments Of the occasion to
their numerous friends. We should be glad
to return our thanks to each for the
individual serenades the REPUBLICAN was
favored with, and commenced with
that intention, but when each branch, in
defiance Of the pouring rain, saluted us with
inspiring music, one after another, we be-
came confounded. The music seemed one
continuous strain, and was kept up until
all had visited US. We can only express
our thar ks to all, from No. to No. IA, for
the compliment, and trust that never again
will so fair a procession be marred by 80
