Evarts, Beecher and Cough as
Farmers.

II has been OF late proposed to raise by
public subscription enough to enable Mr.
Evarts to hold the office of Secretary oI
State without damage to his private in
come.
One of the features in any such meas,
ure would be to abolish the Vermont
farm, which is said to exhaust the best
part of his income. He has 70 head OF
cattle, 300 sheep, 16 horses and 25 swine
The extent of land is 500 acres. Last
year 200 tons of hay were cut, costing
the proprietor not much more than
double the market price. More than g.
900 bushels of corn were raised, at an es.
innate loss Of 30 cents bushel, and
therefore ought to be of good quality
His pork is estimated at 80 cents pound
and chickens at $3 a pair. ...
Beecher last year raised about 5000
bushels of onions on his Peekskill farm
They cost him $3.50 bushel, according
to estimate, and as the market in this
city was 81, any one can see how much
he made. Beecher can send beef to the
market at go cents a pound, and can
raise oats at as low a market as 80 a
bushel. His butter is reckoned at $1.25
pound, and his eggs at rs cents a
dozen. He cleared $4,000 by lecturing
last winter, and if he maintains such an
income he will be able to continue farm
ing. ..r .rta. r .....- ... .r.,l.
Cough lectures five times week, his
fee being 5000. He has farm in Wor-
cester, which at one time contained 175
acres. He has no children, but his ex-
penses are very heavy, and, to bring mat
tsrs in snug shape, lie sold part of his
land, and reduced the farm to 1875 acres
which is as extensive as his income will
admit. A few years ago his wife, who
was Yankee girl, undertook to raise
fancy fowls, which some say are very
profitable. She got up very nice varie.
ty, and at rather reasonable expense, for
the Shanghais did not cost more than $75
pair. The Cochin Chinas were little
cheaper, and bautams could be rated al
from $25 to $40. After stocking the
place with these rare birds, Cough, it is
said, found that if they were to be kept
up he would "be obliged" to lecture on
Sundays as well as on week days to make
living. When it costs $15 to winter q
chicken man needs good income. The
system was therefore changed; the fowls
we're abolished, and regular crops were
tried with decided success. As long as
Coughs rye does not cost more than sc
per bushel, and the other crops are KEEP
at an equally reduced rate, his present in
come will enable him to live in very de-
cent manner. There is nothing like q
farming life for men who have plenty Of
money.-Rochester Democrat.

A Fearful Voyage.

Capt. Crapo and his wife, who arrived
at Penzance on July 22d, from New Bed
ford, in the smallest boat that ever crossed
the Atlantic, had most tedious and per-
ilous voyage Of forty-nine days. The
drouge which they took with them was
found to be of little use, because it was
too light. While off the Banks they saw
keg floating (which luckily they were
able to secure. Capt. Grape knocked off
the iron hoops, and with some canvas
made new drogue, which answered ad-
mirably. During the voyage the rudder
broke, but happily there was spare oar
on board, which was used until the first
could be repaired. The seas were run
ming mountains high, and during all that
time, even when lying down to rest, they
had to lie on wet clothes-everything be-
ing wet on board. On one occasion the
captain was for seventy hours steering
without relief,the weather being 80 fright
full; and on another he was eighteen hours
consecutively attending to the drogue.
Capt. Crapo says he could not stand an
other fifteen days; indeed he had not
slept for seventy hours when he landed.
His average of sleep while going across
was under four hours day. Among the
many extraordinary things connected
with the voyage is the fact that it had to
be run by dead reckoning, as the craft
was not equal to chronometer. An in
dignant "Briton" writes to one of the
London newspapers that if the captains
wife, who during the last three days of
the voyage was so i'll as to be unable to
render any assistance, had died in British
waters, Mr.. Crapo would have been NOR"
ally guilty of granddaughter. He trusts
that Crapo will not be made much of in
England after having exposed a woman
to such thoughtless hardship and suffer-

How He Get IL.

The New York Times has learned from
Exclusive sources all about the recep.
ton Of Gov. Hartranft's despatch to Gen
Grant, Care Of Her Majesty, Bucking.
ham Palace" 1t says:
At two o'clock on Wednesday morning
the Prime Minister, who during his term
OF office always occupies the second story
front bedroom in Buckingham Palace in
order to be handy if the queen wakes up
in the night sud thinks she will have a
new title, was aroused by a tremendous
knocking at the front door. Hastily
springing out of bed and opening the win.
dow he saw boy in the uniform of the
Atlantic Cable Company standing on the
front steps and whistling "Rule Britain.
MA" To the premier's excited demand
to know where the fire was, the boy
coolly replied, " telegram for your missis," !"
whereupon Lord Besconsfeld, angrily
exclaiming, "Holy Mosesl" closed the
window, put on his trousers, and descend.
ing to the door, told the boy to "hand
it over!" Now, cable telegram costs
good deal. There was eight pounds, four
shillings and three pence due on the
telegram, and the boy refused to deliver
it without the money. Hence it became
necessary to wake the queen. The noble
earl had to take this delicate duty upon
himself, since the servants remained in.
visible, and with many misgivings he
knocked at Her Majesty's door, and after
informing her that a boy was waiting
with telegram for General Grant, and
that he wanted 8 pounds, shillings and
Spence, meekly suggested that she should
hand him the money through the crack
of the door. The queen may not be a
particularly irritable woman, but it was
hardly to be expected that she would get
out OF bed, strike light, and hunt up
her purse without betraying some little
annoyance. In fact, she was extremely
angry, and not only sharply refused to
receive Gen. Grants telegram, but in
formed Lord Beaconsield that if he ever
woke her up in the night again to pay
nine pounds for any one else's telegram,
she would dismiss him without charac-
ter. After this there was nothing left for
the premier to do but to tell the boy that
ho pOiooh w 1uC hnihC VI oluut llNt,u III
that house, and to shut the door in his
face. AT that moment the fate of the
telegram seemed sealed. The boy started
to return it to the Office, where it would
have been endorsed "not found" and
Gov. Hartranft would have been charged
with its cost. 1t so happened, however,
that Gen. Grant and the Prince of Wales,
who had been attending the Society for
Propagating the Gospel, were on their
way to the Generals lodgings, and pass
ing Buckingham Palace, met the boy de-
scending the front steps. The Prince
stopped and questioned him, and on
learning that the queen had refused to
pay for the telegram, remarked that
"some day mother would get into diff
culties by refusing to pay for telegrams,"
and generously told the boy to give him
the telegram and he would call and pay
for it next day. Meanwhile Gen. Grant
had caught sight of the address, and
thereupon paid the boy on the spot,
opened the telegram and read it. Thus
Governor Hartranft's telegram reached
its destination.

Who are the COssackss

THE important part played by the Cos
sacks in the present war between RuGsia
and Turkey suggests the pertinent in
quiry, Who and what are they2 First
let US say that the term Cossack is Of
Turkish origin, and means rpbber;--the
Cossacks, whatever they were five centu-
ries ago, aresomething else than band
of robbers. The so-called Stree Cos
sacks" lived on the debatable lands be.
tween Poland and Russia on the east and
Russia and Turkey on the southwest.
Each bne OF the rivers flowing southwark
the Dnieper, the Don, the Volga and
thu Ural--was held by community of
these Cossacks, and no one, whether Chris
tim or Tartar, was allowed to pass through
their territory without permission.
Though really Russian by origin, Ian
guage and sympathy, they became mixed
With the Tartars, and though professed
champions Of Christianity and haters of
Islam, they concern themselves very little
about religion and do not submit to &C.
cesiastical authority. They are wild,
like the Bashi- -Bazouks, but better dis
ciplined and far better soldiers. They
profess allegiance to the Gar, but only
obey him so far as suits their pleasure.
The territory of the Cossacks constitutes
a province of European Russia of over
$4,000 square miles (about as large as the
State of Georgia), with population Of
about 1,750,00O. Until recently they
elected their own officers and were free
from taxation; now, however, this has all
been abolished. Their Ataman is the
heir apparent to the Russian Crown, and
the system of popular election of officers
has given place to regular promotion ac-
cording tn rules elaborated in st. Peters
burg. Exempt from taxation, they are
obliged to equip themselves IN war, when
all men from eighteen to fifty years Of
age are obliged to serve. They used q
lance ten to twelve feet long, carbine,
pistols and sabre. Since the present war
broke out, however, they have been in
duced to abandon the lance, and are now
equipped with breach.loading carbines,
short swords and revolvers, making them
a terrible enemy. They are now thor
oughly disciplined, and their onset in

as effective 10 results. The Cossacks re-
gard themselves, and despite conflicting
opinions are very generally regarded in
Russia, as the most valuable of the Cars
troops, capable of reforming "anything
within the bounds Of human possibility,
and a good deal that lies beyond that
limit" "More than once" writes Mr..
Wallace, "Cossacks have assured me that
if the Czar had allowed them to tit out a
fotila of small boats during the Crimean
War they would have captured the Eng
lish feet as their ancestors used TO cap
ture Turkish galleys on the Black Sea. y
In 1870 there were 1s3,007 COssacks,
including officers, enrolled in the Russian
service, forming chiefly cavalry and serv'
ing with the artillery. In times of peace
they subsist on fishing, hunting, cattle
breeding, marauding and agriculture
