A law was passed just at the close Of
the last Congress, and which is now
in force, increasing the postage on
transient newspapers, books, book
manuscript, proofs and ordinary prin-
ted matter, from one cent for each two
ounces, 10 one cent for each ounce.
Under this law the postage on each OF
the Knoxville papers is TWO cents for a
single copy. This applies 10 transient
papers and not 10 regular subscribers.
Those having occasion 10 send mail
matter of the third class, such as emu
merated above, will pay the postage
at the rate OF one cent per ounce.
Mail matter Of this class can not be
sent unless the full postage is paid.

The story j. told Of a woman who freely
used her tongue TO the scandal Of others,
and made a confession 10 the priest OF
what she had done. lie gave her a ripe
thistlctOp, and told her to 20 out in yari-
Gus directions. and scatter the seeds one
by one. Wondering at the pennance, she
Obeyed, and then returned and told her
cOnfessor. To her amazement, he babe
her 20 back and gather the scattered
seeds; and when she objected that it
would be impossible, he replied that it
would be still more difficult 10 gather up
and destroy all the evil reports which she
had circulated about Others.
Any thoughtless, careless child can
scatter a handful Of thi,tle-secd before
the wind in a moment, but the strongest
and wiiest man can not gather them
again.

Curing Hay.

The Paris correspondent Of the Ameri-
can farMer says an analysis made in
Belgium Of two samples Of hay, derived
from the same field, mOwn at the same
time, but saved differently, one left
thirteen days exposed 10 wind and wealth
er and the other housed In three days,
showed one per cent. difference in the
soluble elements Of what was originally
the same grass. Fiye-siXths Of the nutri-
tive value Of the long exposed hay wa
lost. The wood in the stems Of gras-
straw remains, but not the substance
that form the blood, flesh and bones Of
farm stock

SheIterIng Manure.

The author of "Chester County Notes."
in the Country Gentlemen, discusses the
question as follows:
Much has been written of the COM
parative value of manure from Under the
barn and that from the open yard. Many
farmers will tell us that they can see to a
furrow where the manure from under a
shed was put. and that one load OF il is
worth two from the open yard. | do not
deny it, but must claim that this differ
ence is not all due to shelter. The ma
nure from the stable is always thrown I'M
der the barn, and is better than that
formed in the open yard. not only be-
cause more grain is fed in the stables. but
also because il contains less straw and no
cornsubbles.
In many cases the manure in the open
yard is washed by rain water from the
roof. which is allowed to run Off and take
with it the strength Of the manure. If
other things are equal, and no more wa
ter gets into the yard than falls there, and
none of this is permitted to run out. do
not imagine there will be much differ
ence. II we fed all our straw and corn
stalks we could then do without the open
yard, but so long rs we depend on our
stock to incorporate them with the ma
nure, we must have more or less open
yards.
Several Of my correspondents complain
of loss Of their horse manure by heating
and tirefanging; this is because they keep
it by itself. If mixed with the manure
from the cows or cattle stalls. this trouble
will be avoided. Manure from the horse
stable and sheep pen should be mixed
with the less active manure from the 9TH
er stables, and the whole placed where it
will be well trodden down. | find it a
good plan to place the horse manure
around the water trough"

a Tribute TO stanton.

In the Pittsburg United Presbyterian of
last week is an interesting letter from
General James A. Ekin, Low of Louis
vile, Kentucky, in which he speaks of q
recent visit to Washington city, and a
stroll through the Congressional Art Gal
lery, where he noted the absence of any
distinguished tribute to the memory Of a
personal friend-the late Secretary of
War. In mentioning this matter the
General felicitously expresses himself in
these words
Bnt, among all these statues ] looked
in vain for one which | thought ought to
grace the halls of the National Capitol
that OF the great WA Gcoratary Edwin
NJ. Stanton. The country, which he did
so much to save, or at least those who
represent it in Congress, seem, in the po-
ltical excitement of the passing hour, to
have become Oblivious to his great name
and glorious deeds. For several months
his grave in Oak Hill Cemetery was I'M
marked and unadOrned save by bright
flowers strewn by the hand of affection :;
but above the sequestered spot where
repose his remains, a massive Obelisk-fiJ
emblem OF the strong character of the
deceased statesman-rears its towering
front, bearing the simple inscription:
EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Born December 10, 1914;
Died December "a, 1863.
This beautiful and appropriate monu-
ment is the tribute to his memory by one
who was nearest and dearest to him while
living, and who now dreamlessly sleeps
beside him in death. But Mr.. Stanton
has monument in the patriotic hearts
and memories of the loyal people of the
country more enduring than granite,
marble or bronze and willie remember
ing that in the late gigantic war between
the North and South, he, with almost
superhuman energy, sent to the field the
vast armies which, after so many heroic
struggles, finally crushed the rebellion
and restored the integrity of the Union,
they can never forget that during his
brilliant war ministry he filled a larger
space in the public eye than any of his
distinguished contemporaries in the Cabi-
net or in the field. And so there is every
reason to believe that, in time not far
distant, this popular sentiment, deeply
rooted in the loyal heart Of the country,
will assume visible shape in the erection
Of suitable statue or monument at the
National Capital, which shall perpetuate
the forms and features, while commcmor-
ating the name and fame of one whom
impartial history will proudly rank
among the illustrous statesmen and I'M
selfish benefactors of the Republic of the
United States.

duty, but to retain weights indispensa-
bic, and tits this necessity Of lahour which
seems to US likely to become the burden
of the English Kingship. A King must
work, as a Premier must work, or the
Throne will be what the essayist so justly
argues it is not now, an illusion. What
has departed from the Throne is not infu-
ence, not even power, though power has
to be exercised through a heavy resisting
medium, but inherent force, the force
which makes itself felt without e%xertion or
effort, the force which in Asia and in
Europe during genuinely monarchical
times has resided in men as insensible as
statues or as feeble as children. Reigning,
as we'll as governing, has in England be-
come a business, and like any other BUSH
ness, can suffer from ftful industry or
neglect.

Mr.. HoLMAN's RESOLUTIoN.--Our neigh
Dor, the Dispatch, cannot comprehend how
any Yirginian could approve the Holman
resolution" We have no hesitation in say.
ing, after the South has been put upon an
equality with the North in respect to appro-
priations for works of internal improve
ment, we should be pleased to see the spirit
of the Holman resolution rigidly adhered
to- Wing of yesterday.
We agree to this, except that we think
that it is work Of supererogation for a
Government to be adopting resolutions about
what it means to do or not to do. Those
resolutions are not binding, and show want
of Judgment. Every case should be LETT to
stand upon its own merits. There ought to
be sufficient manhood and discretion in the
House Of Representatives to enable that body
to take up questions as they come in proper
order. Resolutions like HoLMAN's are meant
for buncombe.
But our neighbor and ourselves are per-
fectly agreed that HeLMAN,s resolution should
not be passed until the South is put upon
the footing Of equality with the North in
respect to appropriations to internal i'm
proveme nt.''
What our friend Of the Wing has to say Of
Tom SCOTT" in connection with the consid-
Grafton of HoLMAN's resolution seems to US
to be out of place. When S0orT comes up
with his proposition we hope that which our
.neighbor has in view will be presented as
competing scheme, and then they may be
compared. In voting means for improve
ments in the South, no southern man should
object to that sort Of appropriations which
will do most good for US.

The G. and o. R. R. Co.-The Question
of Jurisdiction.

OF JurlSQlCClOn.
The argument of John HOWARD, Esq, of
this city, before the United States Circuit
Court at Alexandria, on Wednesday, seems
to have put new phase upon this case. In.
stead of concedpg That the legal title to the
property was in parties residing In New
York, be showed that it is in parties residing
in Virginia. The Alexandria Gazette's re-
port makes Dir. HowARD's the speech of the
day. A week or two ago 1t seemed to be
conceded that the New York lawyers had
caught the Virginia lawyers mapping upon
this question Of jurisdiction. Now it would
seem that Mr.. EvARrs and his associates
from the Empire City have found here "foe-
men worthy of their steel.' This we say
without reference to the merits Of the case !;
as to which we are not possessed Of sufficient
information 10 enable us to express an intel
lgent opinion.
