Whitaker Hams.

There are many notable brands Of Eastern
Hams in our market, all Of which justly de-
serve the merit given them, but to one We
wish especially to call the attention of our
readers. This is the one made by Whitaker
Il Sons OF st. Louis, Mo-, and is represented
here by Breeze Il Laughran, cor. Of Davis and
Washington streets. This Ham has been In
our market from the earliest date, and the
fact that it still retains its old reputation is
good evidence that 1t is worthy OF the sue
cess it has attained. In 1873, at the Worlds
Exposition at Vienna, 1t received the first
medal, which only confirms the judgment Of
its appre,iating consumers. Each Ham has
the trade mark, which is a star with large
W in the center, branded upon the skin side
and il is therefore comparatively easy TO
select the genuine article. Upwards OF 75
carloads are annually sold in this market,
and its reputation has always commanded for
1t price OF about one cent per pound In adj
vance of all other brands.-S. r. Journal Of
Commerce.

How to Drive.
It makes great difference in the travel

It makes great difference in the travel
of team, or even in their drawing,
whether they are driven by one who un-
derstands his business or by one who has
never taken the pains to inform himself
how horse should be driven. We have
seen teamster try in vain to start heavy
load, when another, who better under
stood the nature of horse, would take
hold of the lines and make them start
the load with but little difficulty. The
following. "How to Drive" is from the
Western Farm Journal.
The art of driving horse or pair of
horses correctly is learned by few. To
be an expert driver requires tact, and it
is of the utmost importance that the tenn
per of the horse be fully learned. Not
every one possesses tact, and in its alb
sence, careful study of the disposition of
the horse coupled with practice are re-
quired. Any horse, no matter how stu
pid he may be, becomes disguised with a
noisy driver. He soon learns not to re-
spect his commands, and does so prompt
ly only when dashed with the whip.
Farmers boys often get in the habit of
issuing their orders, when at the pillow, in
loud voice, and to this the beast be-
comes accustomed and gives but little
heed.
One of the most pernicious habits
formed by boys and young men in their
early driving, is to use slack rein. AS
the horsemen would say, "keep your
team well in hand" That is, use tight
rein. BY observing this rule your horse
is always at your instant command. You
are ready to guide away from sudden
danger, and are prepared for any sudden
start your horse may make. You thereby
keep him apprised of your prompt mas
terry over him, and he learns to obey in
stantly any motion you make, the lines,
as it were, acting as telegraph wires, COM
municating with the bit, thence the order
is transmitted to the brain.
A horse or team accustomed to be kept
under taut rein is on the alert, ready to
act upon the slightest promptings from
the master, and hence can be learned to
quicken his pace by drawing up the lines
and mere chirp, or command in an
under tone, is all that well-trained
horse needs. We have seen farm teams
the embodiment of quietness when at the
pillow or hitched to the reaper, that get
on their mettle when hitched to the fam
lily gig, the practiced hand of the master
having hold of the reins, he being a good
driver. We pity noble team that is
kept in feverish state of anxiety by hav-
ing noisy, senseless driver behind them

The Tomb Of the Sultans.

The correspondent of London news
paper writes: TO the left | beheld a
building, in the most sumptuous style or
Turkish architecture-a circular editice,
domed, with pillars all of white marble,
lighted by seven windows with richly
carved al d gilded lattices. Peeping
through the grating, l saw kind of front
paror laid with mating, aud from the
ceiling, daubed with floral desi gins in tenn
pera by some Italian decorator, hung two
or three tawdry glass chandeliers. A
common English eight-day clock in a
mahogany case stood silent in one corner.
The horologe had need to be mute there.
The place was a tomb, and as l peeped
I saw a number of biers rising perhaps
five feet from the ground, covered with
embroideries of velvet and gold, or with
the richest cashmere shawls, and surround
ed by ratings inlaid with mother of pearl.
Scattered about were gigantic candle
sticks of silver gilt, stands of rare wood,
richly ornamented, to support the Koran !;
and at the head of one bier could dimly
see faded fez cap with plume and an
aigrette which glittered with the sheen of
diamonds. Beneath that sarcophagus
molder the remains of Sultan Mahmoud
H., the great reforming Sultan who slew
the Janissaries and strove to Europeanze
Turkey, leaving to his son Abdul Medjid,
his grandson Abdul Aziz, and the other
Caliphs whom you wot of, the hideous
legacy of the Eastern question. NAH
mould lies here; and around him slumber
the Sultana Valdez, his mother, his sis
tiers and five of his daughters. They and
the dumb English eight-day clock sleep
very TRANQUILITY together.

Pruning Grape-vines.

Mr.. J. Whittlesey read paper on this
subject, before the Michigan Pathological
Society, in which he defended the long
arm system of pruning, because it fully
equalized the flow of sap in cane and
fruit. He illustrated as follows: In 1868
he placed 1870 Concord vines six feet
apart in the row. They had good care
and attention, but bore little fruit. The
spring of the seventh year from planting,
he removed every other vine, and extend
ed the arms to six feet instead Of three.
The result was fine crop of fruit. To
further test the matter, in a 'Catawba
vineyard Of 1000 vines, and eight feet
apart in the row, every other vine was re-
moved, and the arms of Others extended
to eight feet instead of four. This largely
increased the quantity Of grapes. He
stated that he had Concord vines covering
"a, 30, 35, 40 and AZ feet Of trellis, that
carry, every year, more grapes by actual
test in baskets than any adjoining vines
planted twelve feet apart, and covering
the same number of feet of trellis. Vines
with long arms require less summer
pruning than vines with short arms, be-
cause their growth is more moderate
Long arms can be laid down for winter
protection without difficulty, but short
ones cannot. He intended to go ON ex-
perimenting until he could show vines
covering one hundred feet of trellis with
arms fifty feet long. Mr.. WIS testi-
mony is corroborated by some of our own
correspondents.-Ohio Farmer.

SAVING SEED CoRN.-The best plan l
have ever practiced in saving seed corn is
this: Have an empty barrel in your crib,
but not salt barrel, as that will kill the
seed, and during the winter, AS you are
feeding, you can drop the extra fine,
sound ears into the barrel, as you notice
them; then, during April, on rainy days,
re-assort and shell, always giving the
pigs the ill-shaped grains from both ends,
and as general rule have no replant-
ing, and the corn comes up strong, and
starts to growing before the weeds get up.

Too MANY CATs.-As a general rule
the inhabitants of the rural districts raise
too many cats for their own pecuniary
profit. Too many cats about the house
and out-buildings constitute nuisance.
Cats are almost always enemies of little
birds. Hence, by devouring such large
numbers of birds rs they often do, cats
are guilty Of a vast deal of damage to
their owners by way of destroying useful
birds which would pick up untold num-
bcrs of worms that prey upon growing
crops.

TO OUR PATRONS.

By the consolidation of the I'm.
ion & American and Intelligencer,
THE UNION is founded. The I'm
ION is the result of seven Demo-
cratic newspapers, which have
been published III Greeneville,
since November %, 1866, the data.
of the first issue Of the National
Union. 1t has been our misfor-
tune to have been connected with
some one Of the papers during that
evontful period. We must say
that we have been successful, not
to the full measure of our hopes,
but then quite successful. When
we commenced we had no capitol
to operate upon of our own. We
have had more to contend against
than it seemed to us we could pos
sibly overcome. While others
have lost hundreds, even thouS-
ands of dollars, in running news
paper in Greeneville, we have
moved on the even tenor Of our
ways, and made some money. Not
as much as we would like, but we
owe very little and have hundr eds
Of dollars due us, which should be
paid immediately. There is en-
ough due us, which if paid shortly,
will enable us to enlarge THE UN~
ION to an eight page, forty coll
umn paper, with new press and
type.
We are very thankful to the
five hundred old subscribers Of
The UNION, who have sustained
US through evil report as we'll as
good report. We hope to be the
better able to give you good and
reliable paper in the future. We
hope all the subscribers Of the In
telligcucer, will see the necessity
Of sustaining their home paper and
will give us even more generous
support than they ever gave that
paper.
The newspaper is our trade, our
life business. Others may be sue
eessful at what they know nothing
about, but that is not the general
experience. Such has not been
the case with those who have had
more money than wisdom in re-
gard to the newspaper business in
Greeneville. We have made
what we have invested in our pa
per, while others have lost thou
sands Of dollars. We have done
