What Kerf (?

The New York Commercial advertiser
seems to be very much concerned as to
the loyalty of the army sent to the South.
1t charges the democratic party with
"hatching treason" among the soldiers
and officers. This "treason" seems to
and file with politeness and consideration
If the Southern people would only insult
and maltreat them the Commercial would
be highly pleased. That would be true
loyalty, we suppose! The Commercial is
greatly outraged because of a report in
the New York Sun that an officer of COM
pany A, that lately left Governors Island
in New York harbor, for the South, ex-
pressed his belief that the assertion that
South Car0linians are insurrectionary sis
false" adding his opinion that the mission
on which he is sent was unconstitutional
and an outrage.
No intelligent and impartial man doubts
that such is the fact but the Commercial
exclaims in horror and foolishly talks
about reasonable utterances. The New
York Herald also has q line in which it
speaks of the "indignation of army Off
GERS and soldiers" against the republicans
of the South, which leads the Commercial
to say: off these wards of the nation are
giving themselves up to political preju-
| dice it is time the matter were under
stood" In other words, these wards OF
the nation" must be governed by republi-
can prejudices without regard to law,
conscience or humanity. The fact is the
officers and soldiers believe they will
have no occasion to use their arms against
the Southern people. The know as all of
us know that there is not sufficiant cause
for the Presidents proclamation, and they
feel that they are being put to degrading
uses, and at great cost to the country
They therefore may reasonably feelindig-
nation, though obeying orders with dis
cretion. 1t is hoped and believed they
will act with great righteousness in view
of all the possible consequences-Balt

Centennial Notes.
BIG WEEK KANTICIPATED-THEP POULTRY
SHOW AND CHICKEN HATCHING-THE
GREAT EXHIBIT OF FRUITS.

ABIG WEEK ANTIcIPATED-THEP POULTRY
SHOW AND CHICKEN HATCHING-THE
GREAT EXHIBIT OF FRUITS.
To-day the grounds wear a decidedly
wintry aspect. The foliage of the trees,
brown and withered where it has fallen,
and the dead flowers give decidedly
gloomy appearance, which is enhanced by
the "Scotch mist" that falls.
THE POULTRY SHOW,
is intended to be the finest ever
held in this country. Exclusive of the
entries from Great britain and Canada,
there are over 1000 birds to be exhibited
up to date. Some Of the former have
already arrived.
These entries embrace specimens select
ed from all varieties Of chickens, geese,
turkeys, ducks and pigeons, many of the
latter being rare and costly fancy varieties
such as are selden seen.
There are numerous entries of game
birds such as Ruffed and Pinnated, Grouse
California Quail, Spruce Partridges "a
variety found in the spruce forests of
Canada and the Northern part of the
United States), Virginia Quail, the beau
tiful variety of WoOdduck, celebrated for
the brilliancy of their plumage, and sew
eral varieties of the Teal, included in
the list of exhibits are some Guinea
Pigs.
PATENT INCUBATORS
are also to be shown at the exhibition, so
that visitors can see the very interesting
show of chickens being Matched by artif-
cial heat. There are three of these hatch
ing machines entered, and one of them
has been placed in the annex.
THE PoMoLoGICAL EXHIBIT
in Agricultural Hall continues to main
| tain its supply of fruit of all kinds.
The fruit from California is remarkably
| fine. Both Mr.. Neumann and Gen. Bid
well have received large invoices of fruit.
The latter has also received abeut ten
tons of raisins, and also large quantity
of fine almonds. The ranch of General
Bidwell comprises loo, 900 acres, and the
raisins are made from Muscat grapes of
the white and red varieties, such as are
used for the same purpose in Spain and
in this exhibit white and red Tokay
/ grapes and what are known as the No
rocco grapes, which grow in remarkably
close and perfect punches.
The Central Pacific display of grapes is
also remarkably fine. They came in on
the lightning express trains in parcels of
800 and 800 pounds, while the other exhi-
bits came in refrigerator cars.
Besides 1.-THE above exhibits there are
other fine displays from Canada, Maine,
Michigan and other States. The table of
Pennsylvania fruit is constantly kept
fresh with new arrivals.
IMMENSE CIDER MILL.
| On Thursday the immense cider mill in
| Agricultural Hall is to press 100 barrels of
cider out of 800 bushels of apples in ten
hours. 1t is said this cannot be done, but

The most powerfully armored ship
afloat is the Thunderer, which met with
such terrible accident recently, but two
gunboats have just been finished on the
Thyme which will be fitted up by the
Armstrong firm with hydraulic machine
ry working a 38-ton gun. Compared
with the Thunderer, the gunboats, built
for foreign government, are diminutive,
and yet each little vessel will carry gun
capable of piercing the thickest armor
now on the seas. The smallness of these
marine wasps will be the greatest pro-
lection, and the steam power will be SO
applied that not only the gun, but also
the vessel, will be under the complete
control of the artillerist.

with all their best interests, and threatens
new dangers to the tranquility Of the
Union. They see that the only mode of
removing the Southern question from pol
itics is by the election of Samuel j. Til
den. Politically, they may not prefer
him to others on their own side, but he
can do in this great matter what he did
in regard to Tweed's Ring; end the evil
and provide remedy.
Letters from inside the Republican Or
ganization in New York, represent its.
condition as hopeless, confused, and dis
mayed. 1t is stated that Mr.. Morgan has
emphatically refused to answer the de-
mands for more money, that his peculiar
friends regard the prospect as cheerless,
and that the probable falling off in the
Republican vote by conversions to Til
den, and by refusal to 60 to the polls at
all, reaches to every part of the State, and
will swell up to very many thousands.
The Administration has lost all head, II
it ever had any. There is no direction,
no direction, no steady hand at the helm,
and no sound sense of any kind. The
last experiment Of sending the army to
South Carolina under false pretences, has
reacted to the jury of the very cause it
was intended to promote. The splendid
submission of the Carolinians to this dar-
ing outrage was exactly what the conspir-
ators did not expect or desire. They
melted resistance to their own troops,
but the scheme did not tsucceed. In spite
of this infamous proceeding, which will
yet bring its authors to grief if the House
of Representatives does half its duty mex,
winter. Wade Hampton will probably
be elected Governor, andi the vote of the
State be cast for Tilden. So much fol
public rascality and its approaching
downfall and punishment.

The life insurance cases from the South
which have been pending for some time
were decided yesterday by the United
States Supreme Comt. The policies are
as the companies elected to insist, extin-
guished by non-payment of premiums,
though caused by the existance of war;
but as it was without fault of the assured
the latter are to be entitled to recover the
equitable value of their premiums, with
interest from the close of the war. The
Supreme Court also decided the case of
South Carolina against Georgia, in which
the former claimed that the improvement
of the Savannah river was injuries to her
interests. The decision is adverse to
South Carolina.

A reduction upon the similar expendi-

the year to occasion this decrease. 1t is
simply the result of a more careful ad-

Good Farm Roads.

1t is much cheaper and more pleasant
for farmers to have good roads on the
place than bad ones. Teams can haul
larger loads, with more safety and COM
fort, over good roads, from the distant
fields and the wood lots, than if there be
no roads. Let the stone and the roots
be gotten out Of the way, the rough places
be smOothcd down, holes filled up, soft
places hardened with stones and solid
earth, and the teams will haul enough
more with less breakaga. in Il single year,
to pay the trouble OF making a good road.
And besides the farm looks better there
is more pleasure and less v,xation in the
work to both man aud team. We have
seen horses and oxsh so bothered and
yexcd by the cart or wagon getting INTO
a hole. or in the mud where they could
not haul out, and then whipped aud scol-
ded till they lest all courage and kind
ness and became baulky confirmed in the
habit, so that ever afterward they would
not draw loads out OF difficult placer, Sll

At a recent meeting Of the Elmira,
y. Y, Farmers Club member Is rapor-
tel Is saying Some years ago l knew
farmer who undertook TO improve the
manure in his BARNARD by spreading on
1t un>lsked lime The yard was sheltered,
most Of the manure being in ! basement
to bis barn, TO which the cattle had free
access. Returning one night from visit
to town he observed an unusual light uu-
der his barn, and on going to the 500, to
ascertain the cause, he found a pile Of
manure actually sending out small flame
which would soon have reduced the barn
and contents, bu, for his timely discovery
He pat out toe i.e and abandoned the
use OF lime in the manure heap, for the
lesson satisfied him that burning would
not improve manure. Another member
Of the same club said He knew a tar
mer, not remarkable for his careful man
agement Of manuTes, nor in fact for thrifty
farming, aud he occupied a farm rather
worn by previous bad management. For
few years past It has been noticed that
he gets crops Of wheat actually larger
than his neighbours get, anu the improve
ment attracted notice, so the colonel
called on him to ascertain what means
we're employed, and was informed that

KilIinn PoMitrn.

"ClarisSa' wishes to know why the
poultry she kills at home is hard, although
Young, while that which she buys is ten
der. The easiest answer we can give is
that very often the fowls are not killed
till the company has arrived or expected.
They are then still rigid from death, and
nothing will overcome it. 1t may be DIFF
icult to lind in private house poultry
as good as that TO be bought in London,
but there Is no reason why the difference
should be so great. As 1t Is necessary
chickens should be killed when they are
fl, and before they get hard, there is 20
reason why there should not always be n
couple Of good chickens hanging in the
larder of house. They will keep three
or four days in the summer, ten days or
q fortnight, in the winter. This has been
often thought impossible, but it needs
only a little management and the know
ledge Of how it Is TO be done. As = rule
the chickens are spoiled not by the weiih-
CT. bat by the food in the body, which fer
ments and causes corruption. The clic-
kens should be cut eff from food or ", ter
for twelve or fourteen hours before they
are killed. They should be picked al;
once; u picked fowl keeps better and Ion
ger than one In It's feathers. Ii should
be hung in cool place where there Is a
