The pemoeratie Dungeon.

Washington, Feb. Soon after bus
mess begun in the House to-day, Hale
rose to a privileged question, and read
a letter addressed to him from j. Madi-
son Wells and Thos. q. Anderson, stat
ing that they were confined in a damp,
dark dungeon of the cellar of the capt.
tol; that yesterday, by order of the
speaker, they had been transferred to Il
much better room, and that they had
been brought back to the cells by order
of the sergeant-at-arms, aud that. on ac-
count Of bad air in the cell one 0fthem,
Gov. Wells, was now on his sick bed.
Hale said his attention had been call
ed by this letter to the matter, and lie
had gone to the cell in which the priso-
ners were confined, and had found it Il
damp, dark room, Into which a CLEAN
of sun light could never penetrate, and
which had to be illuminated by gas.
The air was poisonous, and II of the
prisoners, u man over ~ years old, laid
on his bed of sickness. 1t was inhuman
to keep them in such Il room, and he
therefore offered a resolution directing
the sergeant alarms to remove the
prisoners to a well-lighted and well-yen-
tilated room, where their health may
not be endangered.
Cox said it was in this cell that a Re-
publican congress had incarcerated
Stewart and Irwin. The prisoners
were confined and in the close custody
of the sergeant-at-arms, but they could
release themselves by simply purging
themselves of contempt of the House
and answering questions which they
had refused to answer.
McCrary inquired what questions
they had refused to answer.
Cox said they had refused to produce
certain papers.
McCrary said they were confined for
not producing what was not in their
possession.g Z 4 = - s
Cox said the resolution was in his
Judgment a reproach on the sergeant
alarms. The witnesses had simply
been treated as other witnesses had
been.
Wilson spoke in favor of the resolu-
ton, and stated that after frequent
fruitless attempts to see the witnesses,
he had succeeded in SO doing only by an
order from the speaker. When he did
succeed he found the witnesses in
a small, ill-ventilated cell. He could
not escape the impression that officers
in the sergeant-at-arms' Office did not
wish the prisoners to be well treated.
He honored the speaker for honest eff
forts to relieve their sufferings. It was
sbhorrent to the feelings of American
people that the Hhouse should treat
with such cruelty an old man Of over 10
years, because he had stood up for what
he knew was right.
After a long discussion the resolu-
ton for the removal of the prisoners
was referred.

Washington, Feb. SIN no part Of
the great building did the news strike
with greater force and more disastrous
effect than in the committee room
where Field was bullying the witnesses
who had exposed some of Littlefield's
false statements. Field had been ex-
ceedingly brisk and lively in his work,
and was pushing the witnesses with
all his power when the report of the
vote of the commission was whispered
to him. His manner at once changed.
He became nervous and his tone sub
dued. In a few minutes the examina-
ton was adjourned till Tomorrow. It
was a severe personal blow to him, as
tile whole of his notorious Florida evil
dence was swept into the waste basket,
and his peculiar labors ended.

What Rirds AccompII.h.

2 The swallow, swift, and night-hawk
are the guardians of the atmosphere :;
they check the increase of insects that
otherwise would overload it. Wood
peckers, cTeepers and chickadees, ETC.,
are the guardians of trunk of trees.
WarbleTs and fy-catcheTs protect the
foliage. Blackbirds, thrushes, crows and
larks protect the surface of the soil :;
snipe and wOOdcock the soil under the
surface. Each tribe has its respective
duties to perform in the economy of
nature and it is an undoubted fact that,
If birds were all swept from the earth,
man could not live upon it, vegetation
would wither and die, insects would be-
come so numerous that no living thing
could withstand the attacks. The whole
sale destruction Occasioned by the grass
hOppers which have lately devastated the
west Is undoubtedly caused by the thin
ming out of the birds, such as grouse,
prairie hens, ETC., which feeds upon them
The great and inestimable good done to
the farmer, gardener and florist by birds
is only becoming known by sad ex-
perience. Spare the birds and save your
fruit The little corn and fruit taken
by them is more than compensated by
the vast quantities of noxious insects de-
stroyed. The long prosecuted crow has
been found by actual experiment to do
far moro good by the vast quantity OF
grubs and insects he devours than the
little harm he does in the few grains OF
corn he pulls up. He is one of the
farmers best friends.-FaTnlers' (Ont. J

You must have good seed, clean and
pure, that has ripened fully before cut
ing. I use q common No. 8 sive, and
plant only such grain as will not pass
through it. In selecting seed the first
point is to get the kind that will ripen
earliest, stand the winter best, that has
a stiff straw that will not fall down in
strong land secure these advantages and
the yield will be satisfactory, provided
you have good land prepared and planted
in time. 1t is not reasonable to expect
fine crop put ia the old way, in corn
land, most any time during the fall, and
run over recklessly with wagons and
teams, In order to get out the crop of
corn and fodder; and then should it look
a little rank in the spring, to turn in the
stock for fear it will be too thick and
forward. Ny rule Is never TO Craze
under any circumstances. Occasionally
q crop may be 50 far advanced in the
spring. as to be ruined by the FROST but
you can afford to lose one crop In three,
and then double your neighbor who
grazss habitually. II is all important to
select good land. I like strong corn
land, fresh from clover, which should be
plOwed now, not too deep, but thoroughly
cultivated on the surface, narrowed
nicely, and rolled Just before planting,
which should generally be from the 18th

I now submit the result of my crop

commenced planting fifty acres of tired
hemp land, without any preparation,

before drilling from the LIST to the 10th of
October; and twenty acres of it strong
corn land. This double narrowed, one
right after the other, the wagon following
to gather up the grass, ETC., out of the
way of the drill, which followed with
one bushel per acre. The yield is thirty
three bushels per acre of superior wheat.
As to the merits of the two kinds of
wheat, the Canada white is a splendid
wheat; stands the winter well; stiff
straw, stands up well on strong land,
and the yield better than any variety I
have tried, but it ripens about one week
later than the Fultz, has a very thin
hull, and hence sprouts easily after cut
ting. The Touzelle, or Fultz, I regard
as superior wheat, and on thin moderate
land would give it the preference, as its
ripening a week earlier gives it great
advantage 1t is also hardy and very
popular with the millers, but does not
stand UP well on strong land.-FaTmers'

Lesson TauEhI By Experience.

Among the many valuable lessons taught
by experience, there is not one of greater mo-
ment to the invalid portion of the commu-
nifty than the following, viz: That Alternative
treatment is only permanently successful
when aided by Immigration. When the func-
tons of the body are disordered, the use of a
genial tonic with which corrective properties
are combined is the speediest means of regu-
Iating them. Such a tonic as Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, the most popular, as it is the best
article of its class; For more than twenty-five
years it has been used with signal success as
a remedy for, and preventive of, malarial
fevers, as a means of imparting strength to
the debilitated, and as q curative of dyspep-
STA, biliousness, constipation, kidney troubles
and uterine weakness. Not only have multi
tudes of those whom it has cured borne testi-
mony in its behalf, but it has been repeate dly
commended by the medical profession and
the press.

The Sun Chu1srn rrtrturs.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says:
More than forty years ago, when it
was found that prevention for the Asiatic
cholera was easier than cure, the learned
doctors of both hemispheres drew up a
prescription, which was published (for
working people, in the New York Sun,
and took the pane of " The Sun Cholera
Mixture" Our cotempOrary never lent
its name to better article. We have
seen it in constant use for nearly two
score years, and found it to be the best
remedy for loOseness of the bowels ever
yet devised. It is to be commended for
several reasons. It is not to be mixed
with liquor, and therefore will not be
used as an alcoholic beverage Its in
gradients are we'll known among all the
common people, and it will have no pre-
judice to combat; each of the materials
is in equal proportion to the others, and
it may therefore be compounded without
professional skill and as the dose Is so
very small, it may be carried in a tiny
phial in the waistcoat pocket, and be
always at hand. It is:
Tinct. opii.,
Capsici,
Rhei Co.,
Mentn pip,
CamphO.
Mix the above in equal parts; dose,
ten to thirty drops. In plain terms,
take equal parts tincture of opium, red
pepper, rhubarb, peppermint, and cam
phor, and mix them for use. In case of
diarrhea take a dose of ten to twenty
drops in three or four teaspoOnfuls of
water. No one who has this by him and
takes it in time will ever have the chol-
era. We commend it to all, and hope
that the receipt will be widely published.
Even when no cholera is anticipated it is
an excellent remedy for ordinary summer
complaint.

WE consider a fowl at its prime at 8
years old. The vitality of the egg is not
gone at the end of month if they can
be kept in a temperature of about so
degrees, and if they are occasionally
turned at the end of that time they will
hatch.-Ld7ld and Water.
CURRANT worms may be effectualIv
destroyed, says Prof. Riley, by sprinkling
with solution of white helIebore, one
tablespoonful IN a bucket of water, or the
powder may be sprinkled en- while the
dew is on the bushes. Hot water has
also been successfully used to make the
worms drop off without iniuring the
foliage.
n. B. WHITE gives a simple contri-
vance to prevent cUt-worms from getting
at garden plants. It is a strip of tin two
inches wide and about ten inches long,
formed into a cylinder and set over the
plant. They will last a lifetime, and
probably cost half a cent each.-C Country

"How Make the Bread Rise"

OF course my southern friends bread
was failure, when the yeast was twelve
hours rising. 1t must have been kept
too warm, and soured. The yeast was
properly made; but my experience is
that tablespoonful of meal, added to
the yeast, hastens the rising. Sometimes
it becomes thin and watery after three
or four hours standing. If so, pour off
the water, and stir in sufficient -four to
thicken as at first. The rising can be
placed in a kettle Of warm water, or, if
you have a boiler attached tc your stove,
place it in the boiler and guard against
within six TO eight hours, then make
into Ioaves, which must not be kept too
hot. Rise till perfectly light bake in
moderate ove1i.-KentucEvs

paper, the craft Of rail-way-spring makers
is threatened with a very serious compe-
tition. A circular spring has been in
vented; it is made entirely by machinery,
aud is said to be free from any defects of
the present hand made springs. The new
springs are made of solid round bars of
steel, highly polished, cut and bent into
elliptical forms, and bound together in
sets t0 form springs. Four or FIVE bars
form the top and bottom of each spring
and it is intended as a further improve
ment to have a spiral spring, also machine
made, to be placed in the center at the
top and bottom set Of springs. This would
act as duplicate; and in case of accident
it would support the entire weight of the
carriage.

the best seed. This is an important item
in successful farming. Good land and
hard labor will not produce the best crops
from poor seed. Let the best seed be
planted, even if it has to be purchased;
yet most farmers can generally select
good seed from the best of their wheat
and other small grain. In harvesting,
save out the best bundles, and in corn,
by going through the fields and carefully
selecting the best-flled ears; then, by an
occasional renewing Of fresh seed, from q
distance, and exchanging with the neigh
bors, all our crops may be greatly i'm
proved. Liberalitv in this interest pays
handsomely. Procure the best seed at
any reasonable amount of labor or ex-
pense.- Western AgricuZtttrist.

settinx Out strawberry Plants.

In growing Strawberries we have had
the best success in transplanting early in
the season. This is the experience also
of prominent growers of this fruit. Some
transplant the last of July or first of
August, and even earlier, if they. have
strong plants. Weak or immature
plants should never be used, for they
seldom if ever repay for time and trouble
expended on them. Plants that are set
out late sometimes produce good crops,
but they are rendered uncertain by not
becoming sufficiently fixed in the earth
as to resist heaving during the changes
of weather in the winter.-FarmeTS'
