LEvI1.
WASHING TON, Jan. New Year opens
10 heavy fall Of snow, which however, in
no way mars the customary services Of the
day IN official and unofficial circles.
The Presidents levee was attended by all
the principal officers of the Government
foreign legations, the latter iu full dress,
and representing the courts of all ,he great
nations, and large number Of naval and
military officers mingling with Justices OF
the Supreme Court, Senators and members
presented brilliant scene In the audience
parlor.
The Leves was unquestionably the lar.
gest ever held at the Presidents House,
doubtless owing to the fact that this is the
last of General Grants administration. In
private life the receptions are also largely
attended, and public and private busi-
ness il suspended, to give place to the
opening festivities of the year.

CONSIDERABLE ROAD AGENTS.
They Attack the Pierre Stage, but Take
No Money From Its Passengers.

j my ittaCk NJ G1eIre stage. but Fake |
No Money From Its Passengers.
Passengers down on the Black Hills bring
the information that the asst stage over the
Pierre and Black Hills route, from Dead
wood to the river was stopped by road
agents. While driving down into the canon
at a place called "the holes" a few miles
west of the Cheyenne crossing, three men
suddenly rose from the grass and ordered
the stage to halt. The driver and his nine
passengers were hen admonished to hold
up their hands and step down upon the
ground, which they did in short order.
They were then told by the gentlemanly and
considerate outlaws that they wanted all
the money there was in the party over three
hundred dollars to a man. An inventory
was taken, and it WAS found that none of
the passengers had a greater amount Of
wealth than the sum named, and they were
therefore excused from making any con.
tributions. They were next ordered TO
throw off their baggage, and to drive on,
which they did. The highwaymen then
went through the plumber, but found moth
ing which seemed to strike their fancy but
a shirt belonging TO Fred Holcomb, of
Yankton, and a rife belonging to L.. L
Shurtlet1, of Yanklon. They appropriated
these articles. From the CHEYENNE
rancne, a wagon was sent back,
and the baggage gathered up and
brought forward. From that point the stage
and its pa .sengers pursued their way without
interruption. They were somewhat fright.
ened, perhaps, but not having much wealth
about them they escaped loss, through the
peculiar manner of operations exhibited by
the robbers, who were undoubtedly after a
large stake. On the stage which left Dead
wood the day before were a number of men
who were supposed to have brought out q
considerable sum Of money. Among its
passengers were ID. L. Bramble, Ben Baer
VIM. Blatt, Mr.. Doran, Mr.. Sweeney, Mr.
Price and other men who represent large
interests. 1t was given out in DeadwooC
that they were to leave on the stage which
was stopped, but they changed their mind.
and came out one day before. 1t is supposed
the robbers were after this party. This i
the first robbery that ever occurred on thu
Pierre route.

GoBBLING UP THE STOCK.

The closing of the Pierre and Deadwood
stage line operations is announced by pas
sengers down on the steamer Black Hills.
AS near as we can ascertain, the facts are
about these: Mr.. French, a member of the
firm which runs the stage line, started from
Pierre the other day, and gathered up
the stock or the road, and took it west
ward with the probable intention of selling
it in Deadwood. Neither of the other
partners, Mr.. Gardner and Mr.. Van Tassel,
authorized the move, or knew anything
about it, and Mr.. French's singular pro-
ceeding would be put down as a
crime in civilized localities. AS a mem
Der of the firm he had no right to clandes-
timely commit this act and it is probable
that trouble will grow out of it. The line
was doing a good passenger business and
there is no reason why Mr.. French should
take the course he did. He alleges, we I'M
derstand, that he was of the opinion that his
partners were going to steal the stuff if he
didn't. So he went for it. Mr.. Gardner
informs us that this performance will only
delay the stages two or three days. He is
in Geographic communication with Van
Tassel, at Deadwood and Mr.. French will
probably be overhauled.

Effect Of Salt OH Wheat.

In an interesting series of experiments re-
Gently made on the farm of the Royal Agricul-
tural Society of England, the manurial value
of salt was Enthusiastically indicated An acre
of wheat dressed with 800 lbs. of common salt
yielded 80 bushels of grain, with proportion
ate amount Of straw, while an adjoining acre,
left unmanured, produced only 80 bushels per
acre, with the straw imperfectly developed,
showing an increase Of ten bushels per acre.
The entire cost of the crop is not stated, but
this experiment shows that the additional ten
bushels resulting from the salt were produced
at a cost of 30 cents each
In another case piece of ground intended
for wheat was ploughed the proceeding fall,
and again in May, when it was sowed with
salt, and afterwards plougbed twice before
seeding. On the 1st and 81 of September
wheat was sowed at the rate of two bushels to
the acre. The crop when harvested, yielded
according te the estimate of the owner, John
Parke, 40 bushels Of grain per acre, with a
luxurant growth of straw From these and
mauy SIMILAR cases the inference seems TO be
that salt is a specific for the wheat crop, i'm
parting solidty to tue grain and firmness to the
straw
We may add to this fact that fermer in
Western Massachusetts Informed US, on late
visit to his farm. that be had used salt, about
three bushels per acree, in growing winter rye
on old plain land with marked success. His
crop thus produced this season was fine one,

Points in breeding Poultry,

Every veriety has some point or points
which demand long breeding and patience to
acquire, aud on these should attentiin first be
fixed, and kept there, gradually giving place
to others, not by turns but as fast and no
faster than the increased number OF Dir Is are
good in the first point, and therefore admissi-
BILE to breed from, enable selection for the
second and subsequent points to be made.
In this way every year will show steady i'm
provement in the proportion of birds fit for
exhibition, and aftei the first two seasons that
improvement will be so rapid as to be almost
beyone belief. One thing however, is obvious.
Tue best birds from the breeding point of
view, must never be sold, but kept tor the
breeding yard, for a man cannot reasonably
expect to make any marked progress who is
constantly selling what represents nearly all
the ground he has gained. And on the aver
age, this will not be found to sacrifise even in
the schape OF sales, since it will frequently
happen that the birds nearest to the show
standard, and therefore the most salab,e and
valuable merely for show or safe, are not those
to be KEPT for breeding during the early
stages. Fol instance, going again to our
Brahmas, We have seen even at first these
birds want feather, and som other point. But
the best bird for show at this stape will pooh
ably be those which are rather worse in color
but better in general average of points. Later
on, when higher degree of perfection is Sc
cured, the best for breeding will also be the
cest for show; by this time the amateur will
have plenty, both to breed from and to sell
also,
