Peanut Hay.

The vines of peanuts, which are eXten-
sively raised in the South for the edible
nuts. make excellent forage. Relating to
this, Tennessee correspondent OF the
Department of Agriculture says:
The peanut has been our principal crop
since the war until last year, 1873, for
which estimate the crop at $4,000 BUSH
els. The hay saved is worth 10 the farmer
about half the market price of the pea. 1t
is very nutritious, and, when calefslly
gathered and cured, all stock will eat it
greedily. The pea-digging time COM
mences in the latter part of september,
and continues until about the first of No
vember. The implement used is some
thing like a sHbsoil plow; furrOw is run
on each side of the row, lOosening the soil
without turning it. A boy or girl follows
the plOw, after the second furrOw is
turned, catches the top of the vine and
turns it bottom upwards. exposing the pea
to the sun, where it lies from one and a
half to three days, if clear weather. An
eight foot stake is then driven into the
ground sufficiently deep to prevent the
wind from blowing it down.
The vines are gathered and packed
around the stake, pea inside, in which pO-
sition the pea will remain all winter with
Oub llltuIN. lHOSt WIN lldNt bdl ho vi
sheds, under which to pick off the pea,
commence hauling these small stacks as
soon as their other farm duties will per-
nit, and then commences the picking sea-
son. As the pea is picked off, the vine is
carefully housed for the stock. Those
who have no sheds or barns let the stacks
remain in the field and pick off the pea,
restocking the hay as leisure or the wealth
er will permit. They subsequently haul
the hay as it is needed. The average yield
per acre is about 1,2OO pounds; in a wet
season the yield is greater. The hay is
fed alone. 1t will increase the milk of a
cow threefold. | know of many instances

A Singular Character.

An old man, VIM. Craig, died suddenly
last Monday. He had gone TO neigh
boris house and eaten breakfast, and was
standing in the door when he dropped
dead. He was a singular genius. For
nearly twelve years he has refused to live
in a house, and for number of years he
has made his in large hollow tree, doing
his own cooking and washing, This tree
was finally blown or burned down, and ne
dug a hole in the ground, where he lived
up to the day of his death. During the
war he was robbed of some four or five
hundred dollars, the accumulation of
years of toll and industry, and this loss
probably unbalanced his mind and caused
him to lead this singular, hermit-like life.
At the time of his death he was believed
to be the possessor of some money, but it
is thought he has buried it where it will
never be found. He appears to have lived
a quiet, peaceable, blameless life, shut out
from the rude world in undisturbed seclu-
sion and solitude.-MddisonUiI (Ky.)

NEW YORK LETTER.

New YoRK. June "a, 1874.
To the Editor OF the Herald.
The readers of the Helena HERALD, sitting
in their mountain homes, surrounded with
happiness and comfort, have little idea of
the extent to which crime and vice prevail
in New York, nor have they any idea of the
numbers OF those who live outside the con-
fines Of respcctability and gain their liveli-
hood in divers ways, ,os. Known to them
selves and the police.
The respectable portion of the community
in this city only hear of this class through
the newspapers-the annals Of the police re-
ports published in the daily journals, or in
connection with some mission work or chari-
table enterprise, but of the real extent and
numbers of the votaries of vice, they have
but very vague ideas.
But the newspaper men-the police re-
I,orter, and other members of this craft,
whose business it is to give daily pen and ink
photographs of the multiform phases of met.
ropolitan Ffe, and who are brought into daily
contact with all sorts and conditions of men,
they are aware of the monstrous proportions
of the Demon of vice, and the number of
his votaries. If the journalist would know
his whole business he must be as familiar
with the workings Of the under strata of so
ciety as with the upper crust thereof. Social
lfkhs and shade must of necessity be as falnil-
lar to him ~ the blending of colors on the
canvass to the artist, otherwise he cannot
properly portray the great dra.aa of life that
is constantly being enacted before his eyes.
One great advantage Brooklyn has to New
York is, that the latter city, from its position
As the chief metropolis of the continent,
draws to itself the greater portion of the GRIM
inals of the two cities, and Brooklyn thus es-
capes an evil at the expense of her sister
city.
The vast aggregate of crime committed is
| done here. The number of the criminal
classes in New York mount up, according to
the latest statistics, to sixty-dve thousand, or
one-sixth of the whole population of Manhat-
tan Island Out of million inhabitants six
per cent. is devoted to ''ways that are dark,
and tricks that are vsin."
Docs not this terrible exhibit put to shame
the boasted civilization of the nineteenth GEN.
tury: In despite of churches. schools, COL
leges, and other institutions, appliances Of
education and religion, one.sixth of the pop
ula,ion Of New York gain their living by
ways that put them outside the pale of the
hw, and support themselves BY preying upsn
the oes'munity.. From this class comes the
robbs'tes, outrsges and murders that fill The
colsnns Of the daily Journals, and crowd the
caleodar Of the criminal courts. Surely

Nine hundred professional burglars nightly

and hardened criminals, skil!ful and adroit,
robbing banks and plundering dwellings.
When hard bound to escape they never hest
tate to commit murder, but will never do it
unless absolutely necessary. Patience and
perseverance are characteristics OF this class,
and they will work for weeks and months to
accomplish their plans, and will so to every
expense provided it return promises to reim-
burse them for the outlay. These gentry have
sometimes expended as high as 81, 900 upon
their preparations for large burglary. In
word, they are the aristocrats Of crime-the
upper crust Of the under world-scorning
low criminals and looked up to by them with
xwe and envy. When they once get posses
sion of their plunder they dispose of it 70 oae
of the five hundred ''fences' which pursue
their calling in this city. and who afford op-
portunities for them to get rid Of their il-
gotten plumber. They deal in all kinds OF
stolen property, and some Of them arc very
wealthy. One ''fence' is said to be worth
half million. The thief receives about one
fourth of the real value Of the article stolen.
The balance of the sixty-fve thousand is
made up by dealers in counterfeit money:
confidence operators, mock auction dealers,
| river pirates, quack doctors, fortune-tellers.
and abortionists.

as in the dark lanes and foul regions of the

Removal Of the Capital.

We have substantial evidence of growing
sentiment in this county in favor of removing
the capital to Helena. The people intend at
the coming election to consult their own in
terest and convenience in this matter. We
find few men who still cling to the belief
that by letting tile Capital remain at Virginia
BOzenan will stand better chance of get
ting it at no distant day. We are at loss to
know by what manner of reasoning they ar
rive at such conclusion. Whenever Boze-
man is entitled to the Capital she will un-
doubtedly get it, whether it be at Virginia or
Helena. and we cannot comprehend why its
removal from one place would Ike more diff
cult than from the other.
There 10 not q man in Gallatin county who
will not freely admit that it is to our conven-
ience and interest to have it at Helena, and
100 kn0so che is entitled to it and should have
had II four years ago.
Laying aside her claims as the centre of
population and business of the Territory,
which are in themselves sufficient reasons tor
the location of the Capital there, as an act of
justice, too long delayed, the people at the
coming election should accord to her that
which has been grasped from her in the past
by fraud.
Helena 10 metropolis of which the people
of the whole Territory should feel proud.
The energy Of her people, her massive build
iDgs and growing business, extending to ev-
cry town and camp in the Territory, are sub
stantial evidences of her claims.-Arant
