Behealh the INSCRIPTION appears the
familiar representation of two cannon
CROSSED, over three cannon balls. The
taste of design and artistic execu-
ton are in keeping with the richness
of material, making the banner one of
exceeding beauty and considerable
intrinsic value; though its recipients
will of course regard this of but small
moment, prizing the testimonial
mainly for the source from which it
was received and the pleasing recol-
leetions which will cluster around it.

in the matter, | began to count, and
desisted only after counting0 hnndred
in tie course Of one hours leisuTely
riding, representing, perhaps, dis
tance Of three miles. Nor was it long
before ! saw birds strike the wire and
fall stunned TO the ground; three
such cases were witnessed during the
hour One bird had its wing broken !;
another was picked up dying in con-
yulsions from the force of the blow.
The eyeballs Of several dead ones ex-
amined were started from their sock
cts, and the feathers of the forehead
were torn off, indicating violent blow
upon the head but, in most cases,
there was left no outward mark OF the
fatal internal injury.
Along some particular stretches of
wire, where, for whatever reason,
birds had congregated the dead ones
averaged at least one to every interval
between the poles; sometimes two or
three lay together, showing where 4
flock had passed by, and been deci-
mated. The great majority Of the
birds destroyed consisted of larks; ]
noticed, perhaps, half dozen bunt-
ings, one Misunderstanding (St,rnelia
naonndneglectd) and one green-winged
teal tIUerquedltla CaroiinenSisl. The
proportion Of larks was probably due,
in the main, simply to their greater
abunance; but | presume that their
singularly wayward, impulsive flight
may have increased the risk of strik-
ing the wires. They were the only
birds | saw knocked down; and | no.
ticed, or fancied Noticed, some hest
tation and confusion Ill their flight
when the larks crossed the line of the
wire.
The rate of destruction which Dr.
Cones observed was probably much in
excess of that occurring in other sea-
sons and in other parts of the country
and yet, from his account, one may
estimate how vast a number of birds
are annually killed by dying against the
telegraph wires. DR.. Cones sets the
number at many hundred thousand. J"
There seems no remedy for this loss,
as telegraph-lines must continue to ex-
| list, and birds, we fear, will not grow
| wise enough to avoid them. Future
generations may learn, however, from
experience increased by hereditabi.ity,
| to fly above the wires, and so keep out of
their way; meantime, neither trap nor
gun will probably work them more
harm than the network of wires
| stretched in mid-air over the land

The Farmer.

WHEN farmer can SO manage his
farm as to make "both ends of the
year meet even if it be with the
most rigid economy, ne should be con-
tented with his lot. If we take Il sur
vey of the business men of our VIII
lagos and cities, we find that only three
or four in a hundred realize a compe-
tence for old age. Then imagine the
unhappineSS of those who, sooner or
later, fail to support themselves and
families respectably-the cares and
and tortures that no farmer ever felt.
These men may apparently lead pleas
ant lives, as the outside world cannot
witness the emotions of a man who
daily strains every financial nerve to
meet his notes falling due at the bank
The time between one and three
o'clock every day, in the city of New
York, brings more anxiety to business
men than all the farmers of the United
State realize in a lifetime.
No, farmers, your lot is not hard
one. Your food may be plain and the
cuts Of your coats may not be as fash
lonable as those of the merchants of
the day but when you lie upon your
pillows your repose is sound and
sweet. The horrors of protested notes
seldom keep you awake at night; and
in the morning, as you go around to
feed your Hocks and view your crops
that have visibly grown while you
We're in the arms of Morpheus. you
may take more real enjoyment of life
in one hour than many city merchants
and manufacturers do in year. Our
advice therefore, is, be not dlscour-
aged. The times may now. be hard ;
but you are promised seed-timc and
harvest to the end and, with hard
labor and judicious management, you
come out in the end victorious. -R,t-

Science Of Washing Dishes.

There Is a proper way for doing
everything that is to be done, and the
London Agricultural Gazette has the
following suggestions in regard to the
Z" washing of cups and pots and bra
zen vessels
"Such pans and goblets as are in
everyday use, after being thoroughly
washed, may be simply dried out with
a linen diSh-cloth; but soup pans and
fish kettles that may be put away for
a week or SO at a time, should be dried
at the fire before being hung up,
which will prevent iron pans from
getting mouldy or musty. and tin pans
from rusting. however long they may
be out of use. And it is not only the
pot or pan that must receive atten-
ton. for if that be ever SO clean, and
the lid left unwiped. then the SAVIOR of
whatever may have gathered on it
during the last process Of cooking. set
free by the steam of the next opera
ton, inevitably falls down on the new
material. and a most homogeneous COM
pound may be the result. This is also
the case with dish covers, which are
too often hung up with all the steam
of the last joint, fish or pudding on
them. at the risk of its dropping
down on the next article covered, and
the certainty of the metal inside be-
coming in time black and stained.
Brass pans should be cleaned inside
with vinegar and brick, then rinsed,
thoroughly dried at the fire and finished
off by wiping out with clean cloth.
White enameled pans only want a lit
tie soda and warm water to keep them
pure and sweet, and free from the
grease which would be SO disadvanta-
geous To the finer kinds OF made dishes
that these pans are principally used
for. Soda is the most useful for rims
ing out mixing dish before making a
cake or light pudding, as the grease
from an ill-kept dish-cloth is quite sui
iiciept TO account for what TO many is
