mann got his knowledge Of st. Croix or
who told him that our ~ploughing and
cultivation is so very bad etc. Compe-
tent judges of agriculture have always
acknowledged that ploughing is better per-
formed in st. Croix than in any other
West Indian Island. Mr.. Hagemann can
not have been aware that we have in ope-
ration Messrs. Fowler & Co.'S. celebrated
Steam Machinery for ploughing, with all
the improved agricultural implements at
tached thereto, when he styled our plough
ing next to useless. If such opinions
are correct and that this beautiful Island
is brought to so depIorable a state by the
negligence and want of energy in the plant
ers, would it not be wise to Danish the
present useless stock and bring out Mr..
Hagemann and a new set of energetic in
dustrious men, who would not stand up
with hands pocketed staring heavenwards
for rain, but Immediately make the cane
grow without it. Mr.. Editor, [ wish you
could induce Mr.. Hagemann to come here,
and let US see some of his energy displayed
in growing good crops in dry weather be
assured that such an event would be hail
ed with much rejoicing in st. Croix. Not
very long ago we had amongst US some
energetic planters who wrote and spoke
very huently, and they tried several new
systems, amongst the rest The Barbados
system; their progress will be long remem-
bered both here and in Copenhagen. |
feel convinced that if Mr.. Hagemann had
been in the position of a planter here for
the last three years, his knowledge Of mat
ters and things in st. Croix would have
been more perfect &c. &c.

Cramming Poultry.

1t is altogether a vitiated taste that
creates demand fer over -fattened meat.
There is no nutrimeRt in fat, and with
the large consumption of sugar, syrup
and starchy food, that is common ameng
US, the necessities of the system for car
bonRceous food are fully, if not over
supplied. The use of excessively fat
food then is a waste of material, and it
probably induces some of the bilious
disorders which are so common. With
regard to poultry these remarks are es.
pecially applicable. The markets of the
cities are filled with fowls that are lined
with fat, a useless addition that IS 8
loss 10 the consumer, and its production
has been at the expense of a waste OF
food to the feeder. Besides, housekeep-
ers complain of these over fat fowls,
that they are deficient in delicacy of
flavor, and are coarse and greasy, thus
losing in quality as well as in weight.
This matter is in the hands of farmers
to remedy. They alone decide as to
what degree of fatness their fowls shall
be brought, or rather, not knowing ex-
actly how fat they are, they continue to
feed them much too long for their own
profit. A very thin fowl can be brought
into good condition for the table in
three weeks feeding. Generally fowl
from a grain-stubble or bsrn-yard at a
time when waste grain is scattered about
literally, as we'll as at other times, when
the housewife undertakes the feeding of
the poultry, is sufficiently fat for the
market, without extra feed. IF poultry
is marketed at the age of two years,
and none older than that kept, the quail
ity of the flesh will be all that can be
desired, without any cramming of extra
feed, and the extra fat that is laid upon
an old fowl, is no addition to its good
ness, but rather adds to its bad qualities.
A good Judge of poultry looks to the
age of a fowl, and passes by the old
birds that have been crammed to fit
them for market. -AgricuIt1ITist.

Cireumstantial Evidence

"There is always a terrible uncer-
taintv about circnmstantial evidence
where human life depends upon its ac-
ceptance,' says the Boston Post, in re-
ferring to Frank Wagner, arrested by
the police the other day, for the murder
of James McCann, at Jersey City.
Against him the evidence was apparent
" strong to conclusiveness. He was
proved to have been near the scene OF
the tragedy shortly after its commission
he gave signs of great fear on being ar
reste he denied being out that night,
which was at once proved to be false
hood: he was known to have exhibited a
pistol ct a saloon close by when the
murdered man was found and, finally,
a revolver found In his room was shown
to have chambers just fitted for bullets
of the size taken from McCann's head.
Now. however, a man named Thomas
Brooks comes forward to say that
the deceased died by a pistol shot
from his hand. fired at him as he at
tempted to board his team, as he be-
lieved, for the purpose of robbery. As
he fired his horses started, and he could
not pull them up for half a mile, and
had no idea that he had killed the man.
Reading in the papers of the discovery
of the dead body on the spot where he
fred, he delivered himself mp and now
awaits trial. Wagner was, of course
discharged, though he evidently owes
his liberty entirely to Brooks candor

Scandal.

There is nothing in social life more
ignoble and contemplate than what
Byron calls "the abominable tittle-tat-
tle' of those who delight in circulating
scandal, who gloat over, even while
they profess to deplore, the details of d
slanderoUs story, whose very manner of
deprecating credence in the tale con-
firms the listeners belief in its truth
fulness. How many there are of these
mischief-makeTs in every circle, who
know how, with a skillful touch, to
heighten the tints of a slanderous rumor
with insinuations worse than open lies,
because they can not be met by open
denial by mingling sneers with smiles,
and by pretense of candor. And the
pity of it is that they shound find so
many people willing to listen; that 50
many wOuld rather believe evil than
good of their neighbor. Nothing spreads
like a scandal, and the worse and more
unlikely it is the. more readily it OBJ
tains circulation and credence. Society
is quite as much to blame as the scan
dal-mongers themselves. It is as mean
and disgraceful to listen to a slander as
to utter one.
It is q common trick with slanderers
and scandal-mongers to scatter their
vile inventions broadcast among the
community, and then point triumphant
" to the wide circulation their stories
have obtained as confirmation of their
truth. They bespatter aiman with mud,
and cry out upon him for dirty fellow.
Calumniate calumniate - is their
motto some of it will stick" Per-
haps the most effective, as well as the
meanest, way of slandering is to do it
with affected pain and reluctance, as if
weIl-nigh heart-broken at hearing evil
things whispered round about a man so
dearly loved and honored. An adept in
this method of slander can work infinite
mischief.
There is something marvellous in the
Ray a slander grows as it passes from
mouth to mouth, we'll illustrated by the
the we'll known story of three black
crows. Without intending, perhaps, to
exaggerate or be untruthful, each one
who repeats the story adds something
of his own, and by the time it has gone
the rounds of society it has grown into
q hideous Frankenstein, q monster OF
untruth and malignity. This may be
tested by the game of exaggeration, F"
where one whispers story, cOuched IN
as few words as possible, to the person
sitting next him. He repeats it In the
ear of his neighbOr; and so on through
a circle of ten or twelve, each one try
ing to tell the story Just as he heard
it. The last person in the circle tells 1t
aloud, and in nine cases out of ten II
will be found that it has gained some
thing every time 1t has been told. The
moral of all this is expressed in the line
already quoted from Tennyson, 81 Speak
no SANDER no, nor listen to it. "

The Mysteries of COurtship and Mar.
riage.


1t is a singular fact, says a Partisan
writer, that man generally requires
| very different qualities in a wife from
those he admires in a sweetheart.
| While lover, he expected to see his
future wife tly and stylishly dressed
| whenever he chose to call, either morn
ing or evening. and the girl busted her
| little brain all day IN efforts to please
/ his taste. If he left town for a few
/ days, he sent letters full of sweet moth
| ings that filed her soul with Joy Then
came delightful rambles in the moon
light, and hours spent in charming
tcte-G-teteS after the family had retired,
when the two saw no one but el ch other
in their world of love.
Alas that such bliss must ever be dis
PEELED. Time brought preparations for
the approaching wedding for this de-
voted couple imagined that their happi-
ness could never be complete until the
hymeneal knot was tied.
So the wedding and honeymoon were
soon over, and the parties SO tied into
the matter-of-fact part of life. The
blide knows nothing of housekeeping.
Since her sehooldays she has spent her
time in studying the tastes of her lover,
which certainly seemed to incline to-
wards dress and sentimentality.
Now, alas she discovers that his
stomach demands food OF the best
quality and because she knows not
how to cater to his palate his love seems
to be waning. While he is vainly tr5f
ing to appease hunger with sour bread
and burned steak, little dees he appre-
ciate the sweet nonsense and honeyed
words which used TO be so satisfying to
his sentimental nature.
Ah, men are so unreasonable 4? They
expect to find every quality of excel
lence in the women they marry, vet
have not penetration sufficient to choose
the most worthy. To shine in society,
to exhibit every feminine accomplish
ment, both at home and abroad, are
duties which they require in the women
they marry AID what have they TO give
in return 10 seems impossible that
these delicate attentions which eharao-
terize the lover should be so withdrawn
by the husband.
The other day when I heard a neigh
Dor demanding his dinner in not the
most pleasant tone, thought, Can it
be possible that he ever played the
ardent lover to that pale, detected wo-
man, whom he calls his wife 2"
The lover who could scarcely tear
himself away frem his sweetheart at
midnight is the same man now who
leaves his wife to spend her evenings as
best she may, while he passes the hours
in doubtful enjoyment.
All how soon men forget the solemn
vow to love and cherish till death And
how many women regret that the charm
ing delusions of eourtship were ever ex-
changed for the unpleasant realities of
m anrrfuora

Two Rich Men.

A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes: The chief
holder of personal estate in this city is
Commodore Vanderbilt, who is esti-
mated at $40, 600, 000, the largest part of
which is in railway property. He owns
enough in the Connecticut River and
New Haven roads to be q director in
each, and he also owns the controlling
interest in the Central, Hudson, and
Lake Shore, besides his stock in Ohio
and Mississippi and other important
roads. 1t was said of George Peabody
that he made almost the entire bulk of
bis enormous wealth after his fiftieth
year. l think a stronger statement can
be made of the Commodore, for he has
made the largest part of his money since
he was sixty-that is, within the last
score of years. 1 suppose that when
the war broke out he was not worth five
millions. The incessant and enormous
increase of railroad values and the col
ossal extent of his operations have
brought an increase so stupendous
as to remind us of the old stories Of
Oriental magic. The only instance in
which real and personal estate is COM
bined almost equally in the vast pos
sessions of one individual is found In
A. T. Stewart. He owns enough in
each of these shapes of wealth to make
a dozen men rich. In point of real
estate he has two dry goods establish
ments on Broadway; also the Metropol-
itan hotel, and the former Unitarian
church. Add to these the Baptist
church in Amity street now used as the
stable of his business teams, the De
peau row, in Blocker street, and above
all his Fifth avenue palace, which cost
81. .OOO, 900. In personal estate is his
stock in trade, capital and bills receiva-
BILE, which must be $4,000, ,OOO' and
also a large quantity of bank stock. In
This manner Stewart wields both
classes of property. He has diff
fered entirely from Vanderbilt in this
point. The latter has invested almost
solely in railway stocks, while the
former has eschewed this form of prop
erty in a very peculiar manner. He
has a strong affinity for those things
which pertain to trade and TO this alone.
1t is said that his estate cannot be less
than S3O 600 600.
