Confidence in Animals

Confidence in Animals.
There are, probably, few per.
sons familiar with farm life who
have not observed a marked con-
trast between the general charac-
ter and appearance Of the domestic
animals kept on different farms
within the circle of their acquain-
lance.
On approaching some farm
houses, the first salutation comes
from noisy, growing dog who
seems TO take you for a trespasser.
The next from his master, who d.
vides his energies between vel
coming you AID scolding the dog
Tor not behaving better. You Wis
it the barn, and as you open the
door, frightened cat scudS across
the floor, and with cue look back
at you from her gray eyes, disap-
pears through the hole in the floor;
or out at a broken window.
The horses lay back their care,
squeal and kick the sides of their
stalls, as much as to say, I'VE
feel cross and can't help acting it
out." The oxen and cows start
back as you pass them as if afraid
they would he lit with a fork, and
the young calves and pigs scamper
to the farthest corners cf their
pens, and even the chickens seem
TO be bound you shall have all the
room to yourself.

In Nebraska the second Wednes
day in April is known as "Arbor
Day." and is set aside specially
for the planting of trees. The
farmers on the treeless prairies
were taught by sad experience that
the only way to protect them
gelves from the fierce sweep of the
des0latlng summer tornadoes and
the cutting winter blasts was to
plant trees and raise forests as rap
idly as possible. For this purpose
one day in each year is set apart,
and young and old engage in the
work Of planting trees, In the
mean time the people Of the Mid
die and Eastern States continue to
destroy their timber in the most
reckless manner, apparently heed
less of the fact that Cry summers
and autUmns, severe winters and
disastrous spring Il DDS are the
natural result.

WHAT AGE TO PLANT FRUIT
TREEs.-A correspondent of the
HorticuLtWiSt says:
"a great many think that a
three or four year old tree will
bear sooner than one two years
Younger, and the nurserymen can
testify well to the demand for
trees for immediate fruiting, but
/ consider it costly, unsatislac,
tory practice. Nearly every tree
Of that age loses by necessity a
large portion of its roots by
transpIanting from the nursery
to its future bed; and in order
20 maintain a healthy progress
i've growth, the top must be
shortened in, in same proportion,
sometimes quite severely; and
by the time this is completed,
the tree is little or no better than
one a year or two younger. 1t
happens, however, in the major
ity Of cases, that the trees are
neither well planted nor we'll
pruned, and the first years
growth after planting in its new
home is weak, sickly, stuntcd,
with The least possible prospect
Of fruit.

Mating.

As the summer is approaching,
and the time Of mating draws
near, it may be well to call the
attention of housekeepers to the
fact, that, as there is right way
of doing everything, there is decl-
dedly tight way to put down
Canton mating. 1t is The almost
universal practice to put it down
wrong. Most persons cut the
lengths, and then, laying the
breadths in their proper places
on the floor, proceed to drive a
vast number of tacks up and down
the edges. This method serves
the purpose of keeping the cover
ing very tightly on the floor, but il
Injuries the boards. and ruins the
mating. Every tack breaks one
straw, and perhaps more.
These Canton mattings are
made on boats, where they are
woven in short pieces aboet two
yards long. These short pieces
are afterw ards joined together Oh
the shore in lengths of about forty
yards. 1t is easy to see where
these two yard pieces are Joined.
and the first thing to be done, after
the mating is cut into the proper
lengths, is to sew these places a.
cross and across on the wrong side
to keep the joints from opening
Then sew the breadths together,
and tack it to the floor in the
same way that you treat a carpet.
Mattings made in this way will
last fully twice as long as where
they are tackled in every breadth.
A good mating should last six
or seven years Home and So
ciety; Scrjbner for april.

PRESIDENT GRANT, and .he party Of

their way to Chicago one day this week.
They were met at the depot by Gov. Os-

that the highest official of the Eation was

Daniel Webster On Fluctaatias Currency.

Of all the contriyances for che ating
the la5oring classes of mankind, none
has been more effectual than that which
deludes them with paper money. This
is the most eiiectual of inventions to
fertilize the rich mans field by the sweat
of the poor mans brow. Ordinary tyr
amy, oppression, excessive taxation,
then, bear lightly OH the happiness of
tie mass of the community, compared
with fraudulent currencies and the rob-
berries committed by deprecated paper
Our own history records for our instruc-
ton enough and more than enough, of
the demoralizing tendency, the injustice
and the intolerable oppression ON the
virtuous and well disposed, of degrad-
ed paper currency, authorized by law, or
any way countenanced by government.
A disordered currency is one of the
greatest political evils. 1t undermines
the virtues necessary for the support of
the social system, and encourages pro-
pensities destructive to its happiness.
1t wars against industry, frugality and
economy, and it fosters the evil spirits
of extravaganza and speculation.

Mr. Fenion on tbs ANA ndmeatS.

The editor of the Commonwealth wrote
to Hon. Thomas z. Fenlon, asking him
for his opinion regarding the proposed
amendment to the Constitution. The
following is his answer:
LEAvENwoRTu, Oct. Sth, 1875.
F. 2. aKER:-YoLr card dated Sep
TENDER 30th, 1875, is received. My
opinion is, if the amendments to the
constitution are adopted, they do not
take effect till January session, 1877, and
therefore regular session may be con-
stitutionally held January. 1876, and on
this ground the Governor need not call
an extra session. The session of Janu-
airy, 1876, has full power to provide for
the expenses of the State government
till January, 1877, and then that legis-
lature may provide for the two years
next ensuing, provided the amendments
are adopted. In other words. l do not
agree with the arguments of w. c.
Webb, Esq. If l had time 1 would
write you an argument ON the question !;
as it is, 1 simply give my opinion for
what it is worth.
Very Respectfully,
THOs. p. FENLoN.

the late campaign in Ohia.\ When their

be well for them to do little doctor

REFORM TICKET.

The Democrats of Allen county, to.
gether with the Republicans who for
various causes have left their party, met
at the court honse in this city last Satur-
day in delegate convention and put in
nomination county ticket, adopted a
set of resolutions, and of course styled
themselves reformers. Of the men COM
posing this Reform ticket one of them
we believe has been lifelong Democrat,
while the Others have at different times
left the Republican party-one of them
having only recently discovered some
thing wrong in that party or chance for
g position on the ticket Of the opposition.
As to the fitness of these men for the po-
sitions to which they aspire We have
nothing to say, excepting that their quail
iications are not better than their oppo-
nents nominated by the Republicans the
week before, if as good. And while they
come before the people asking Office be-
cause they are "reformers" we venture
that not one of them gave three cheers
for the grand reform victory gained by
the Republicans in Nebraska, Iowa and
Ohio last Tuesday. In local affairs they
may CLAIM, to ignore politics and pass res
olutions denouncing corruption in high
places and demanding integrity, honesty
and economy from public officers, but
when there is contest between the two
parties of the country for principles of
vital Importance to the nation, these Re-
form candidates and their party in this
county sympathize with the Democratic
party. The successes gained by them
heretofore have been claimed az Democ-
ratio victories, and regardless of their
name and "past party affiliations" if they
belong anywhere it is with the Democ-
ratio party; their declarations in favor of
reform are made solely for the purpose
of getting Office and are humbug.
That Democrats should support this
Reform ticket is quite natural, and that
Republicans who are too pure (?) to act
with that party should 90 with the Dem
ocrats is also to be expected; but we
cannot see what reason Republicans, who
believe in genuine reform and that the
interests of the country demand the sue
cess of their party in the approaching
Presidential contest, can have for voting
for this ticket

IOWA 'AND.NEBRASKA.. HAVE DONE
NOBLY.
Nebraska Gives over 10000 Majority for
the Republicans.
And Iowa Comes to the Front with Ma
iority Of $4,000.

The election last Tuesday in Ohio, Ne.
braska and Iowa resulted in a grand
victory for the Republicans. That Dem
ocratic tidal wave has spent its force,
and on the eve of Presidential cam
paign the Republicans have defeated
their old enemies and given them a
warning as to what their fate will be in
the approaching contest. The people
are not yet yet ready to give the Offices
of the government into the hands of that
party which proved unfaithful in the
hour of need.
In Ohio the Republicans elect their
Governor by from five to eight thousand
majority and have secured majority in
both branches OF the Legislature. In
Iowa their majority is not less than
thirty-fve thousand-a large gain over
the election two years ago; the Legislat-
ure will stand seventy-fve Republicans
to twenty five Democrats ip the House
and forty Republicans to ten Democrats
in the Senate. In Nebraska the Repub-
licans elect their ticket by ever ten thou
sand majority. If Pennsylvania should
follow the example of these States and
give rousing Republican majority the
nomination for the Presidency by the
Democratic party will not be worth
quarreling over.
