Making Political Capital out of the
Wounded Soldiers.

Solu1eFs.
The Washington correspondent Of the
baltimore San, an independent paper,
refers to the bold attempt TO deceive the
people by one of the Radical members of
the House of Representatives, in the fol-
lowing paragraph. 1t shows how little
faith Is to be put in some of the men
who still represen: what was once a great
party:
The attempt made by the republicans
II the House to manufacture party capi-
tai by introduction Of resolution set
ting forth that disabled Union soldiers
should have the preference for positions,
has prompted inquiry into the distribu-
ton of the House patronage under re.
publican control. The republican party
has had control of the House of Repre-
sentatives for sixteen years, dating back
before the shedding of the first blood
In the fourteen years, from the begin.
nlng OF the war, it is believed that but
one or two wounded or manned Union
soldiers have been allowed to FL any OF
the principal Offices under the House
On the contrary these Offices have been
tiled by those who never smelt fire. OF
the subordinate Offices under the House
1T would be most probably above the
mark to say that one in ten Of them has
been gwen to soldiers either disabled OF
whole. 1t is extremely probable tina.
when the new list of appointments un.
der the House if completed there will b.
found as many Union soldiers in Office a.
there were under the republicans.

MUTILATED BANK NOTES.
Fourteen Pounds Of National Curren-
cy Sold for Waste Paper.
New York SIM. Feb. {.

/. Ihe discovery OF fourteen pounds Of mU-
tilated bank notes, has created a stir among
the Government police officials and others.
The demand for the fragments has far ex-
ceeded the supply, and fortunate indiTid-
Uals possessing a piece frequently found
themselves the centre Of a curious thrOng,
who INDUCED in speculation as to the ex-
PLANTATION Of the destruction Of $4,000 in
currency.
The samples of the stuff in the possess
ion Of the National Bank Note Company
bear strong evidence that no one has been
defrauded by the mutilation. They are Of
the denominations Of one, two, five and ten
dollars. The fragments, with flew ez-
ceptiOns, consist Of the lower edges
Of the notes. They are cut OF with a reg
ularity that clearly indicates that they
were assorted into piles and cut in bulk.
The notes were all much worn, showing
that they had been long in circulation. A
large majority Of the pieces Of notes are OF
the Sp aker National Bank Of Can8jOharie,
New York. The bank officers have an
swered inquiries that they are not aware OF
having lost any money.
The only authorized mutilatOr Of cur
rency is the United States Treasury, which
cancels retired currency in the way that
these fragments are mutilated preparatory
to their further reduction to pulp. Hence
1t is inferred that some thief found oppOr-
tunity TO fill his pockets withthe fragments,
hoping that he might be able TO reconstruct
some entire bills and place them again in
circulation.

SOWING CLOVER SEED.

The drOUth, army worms and other
pests were very severe on our clover IN
Middle Tennessee last summer and
autumn. To reset our farms IN this
renovating and nutritious plant, it viii
be unwise to delay sowing seed till late
In the spring. The writer's experience
IN raising clover seed.as a staple crop
commenced over fifty years ago. More
seed is sown Onlthe snow at the North
than in any other way, the snow lying
On winter wheat. Sometimes after the
seedhas terminated, "a heaving frost, the
sun and drying winds kill the tender
plants, but not often to any serious eI-
tent. It is important to command the
full benefit Of all the spring rains to
soften the ground, and aid clover roots
to penetrate down to moist earth be-
fore dry, hot weather, sets IN. For the
same reason one had better SOW oats,
and plant corn as early as the ground
can be got in good order. All Euro
pean grass seeds should have the bene-
fit of an early start if sown at all.

UNION AND AMERICAN.
FARM AND GARDEN.


MSAE "OO1 M IL H
So much money was made during
the war by importing and gathering
up from all parts of the civilized world
old wool rags, to be picked into a loose
fibre, mixed with a little wool, spun
and wove into cloth, called "shoddy, 3"
that specializing men still continue the
practice. England, with less land than
there is IN some Of our largest States,
finds it profitable TO keep some thirty
million sheep, which clip l50,000,000
pounds of wool a year, and supplies In
rags and cloth a liberal amount of
shoddy for the shoddy a~ristOcracy Of
the United States.
Land Is worth IN Great Britain from
$500 to $500 an acre to produce wool,
because cast-of wooden garments work
ed up into shoddy find purchasers who
are so little civilized that they greatly
prefer dogs to sheep When shall We
cease making u new cloth, and most
popular goods, out Of the rags Of other
nations? Not till We learn to raise
the first best wool, and manufacture it
In our own States. Now, the South is
the largest known consumer Of cheap,
shoddy negro clothing. This is death
70 wool-growing and home manufac-
lures.
The time has come when the patrons
Of hUsbandry should unite their means
and labor to produce both wool and
cotton, and strong ~serviceable jeans for
home consumption. To prosper, they
must organize and economic their IN
dustry. In a word, they should think
a little more Of sound, new wool, and a
little less Of worn out tissues in rags,
and rotten shoddy. Land-holders, it
is your own fault if you make farms
worth only five dollars an acre for rails
ing dogs which would be worth fifty
dollars an acre for raising sheep and
wool.
Dog-husbandry don't pay, whether
the community i5naked for clothing, or
hungry for meat. As the best mutton
comes from cheap heritage, and dog
flesh from far more expensive food, it
costs more to keep a ffty-pound dog
than sheep that viii weigh 500 pounds.
With our cold winter pinching many a
family, and the air full Of snow, we
indite a paragraph suggestive of more
comfort, and better economy N the
matter Of domestic animals. Flocks
have been mans best friends for IN
known generations.
