1t is refreshing to turn from the time

virtues of the past. When Scion was Gov

laws he enacted that sThose persons who, in
public differences and discussions, did not

seventy-four agents, thirty fve-nearly fifty
per cent.-have been dismissed during the

one. In the matter of convenience alone it
will be an improvement worth all tho trouble
it will cost.
The other provisions of the reorganiza-
ton bill will commend themselves
to the disinterested reader as proper.
In order to reduce the number of officers it
is provided that there shall be no moro pro-
motions or appointments until the number
OF general and line officers is
reduced to that required. The
offices Of general and lieutenant gen
eral will cease with the decease of the pres
ent 1ncumbents. The number of major
generals and brigadier generals is to be re-
duced to the lowest point. No
change is made in the West Point academy,
and the general provisions of the bill look
to the elimination, eventually, of all officers
OF the army who have not received thor
ough military education. With none of
these provisions can any reasonable fault be
found. The reduction of the regiments to a
total of twenty does not decrease the num-
Der of effective me n in the service, for none
OF the regiments as at present existing have
their full complement of men. Twenty full
regiments will be far more efficient than
twenty-five skeletons of regiments, even if
they do not muster an equal number of
epauleted officers on dress parade.
Taken as whole, the conclusions of the
commission will meet with the public appro-
baton. The abolition of the useless staff
department. will save hundreds of thousands
Ut dollars annually, without in the slightest
degree impairing the efficiency of the army.
The consolidation of the ordnance with the
artillery arm will be positive benefit in
making the two branches, heretofore in a
manner antagonistic, cooperative in their
conduct. The abolition of the rank of gem
sral and lieutenant general after the death
OF the present incumbents will work no
hardship, for those Offices we're created sim
ply as compliment for distinguished SER
vices, and are in reality superhuous. The
wedding out of incompetent officers, too,
will not only increase the respect OF the COM
munity for the army, but will increase the
respect of the army officers for themselves

In the course of the impending political
debate in the Senate, Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, will deliver speech. He
will, it is said, contrast the condition of his
State under carpet bag rule with what it is
at present, showing that nearly million
and quarter of dollars were spent for legis-
latlve expenses under the former, while the
first year of Democratic rule brought a re-
duction to the very uncomfortable sum of
1854, 900. He will also show that the negroes
changed their politics of their own free will
for they themselves began to feel the effects
of the burdensome taxation. He will deny,
and submit evidence to prove his assertions,
that any intimidation was practiced in the
section of the State where he resides. By
carrying the war into Africa and proving in
timidation in the Northern States he hopes
to make out good case.

MINNEAPOLIS DECLARES VAR ON

MINNEAPOLIS DECLARES VAR ON
ST. PAUL.
Bill King INDUCED in the following wall
and declaration of war in his paper yester-
day morning:
st. Paul has dexterously seized control of the
entlre railway system of northern Minnesota
as is shown upon the map to-day, and through
the virtual control Of that agency, Minneapo-
lis IS practically at her mercy in this contest
for commercial supremacy. But, important as
this position which st. Paul holds is. IT IS
ONE FROM WHICH SHE CAN BE EASILY
DlsLODGED If MINNEAPOLIS HAS THE
SPIRIT AND COURAGE TO MAKE THE
EFFORT. In a contest of this character as in
war, the prompt execution of flank move
ment will quickly dispossess our rival of the
temporary advantage she has recently
acquired. But that movement should be
made at once. Every days delay adds to
the strength Of the position which st. Paul
now holds, and which she will not be slow to
still more strongly fortify. If Minneapolis is to
move at all in the direction indicated, let her
prepare to move at once. And when the order
10 march shall be given, let every citizen who
worth working and fighting for be founu in
quick marching order" For the hour and
opportunity is near at hand.
bold and manly in the public declaration
that Minneapolis proposes to steal the advan-
tages which st. Paul has secured. It
is a great deal more honest
and decent than the conduct of
Bill Kings paper, which in the
issue in question published the diatribe from
which we have quoted,w while the st. Paul ed
ltorlals were devoted to electoral Reform %
and ''The Demand for Industrial Education. -
That is the style of newspaper the people of
st. Paul are supporting. A paper which
gives Minneapolis full latitude to make war
upon this city but does not dare to publish a
word for st. Paul lest it might offend Min
neapolis subscriber.
With this threat before them, the people of
st. Paul know what they can expect from
their so-called neighbors. Bill King raises
the black flag of the pirate, and it behooyes
st. Paul to maintain her rights in the usual
manner resorted to in repelling piratical at
tacks.

Scarcely anything that can be called new
transplred in relation to the great three
million wheat deal of hIr. jim Keene on
yesterday. That astute operator kept him
self well ont of sight, did not visit the

either or both.

and yesterday was even more SO, it being

FARM TOPICS.

THE FIRST LESSON IN DRIVING
The young horse should be driven few
times in the harness-the trainer in
front-and taught to turn to the right
and left, to rein back, etc., before at
taching to wagon; use long reins, and
possibly an assistant may be useful to
show him what the refining means. AL
ways use a light vehicle at first, as
many horses are made balky by hitch
ing to heavy wagon at this time. A
kicking-strap should be fastened
over his rump from one shaft to an
other to prevent his heels hitting the
wagon. If colt hits nothing when he
kicks, he will soon stop kicking. In
starting off, some one should lead the
colt few hundred yards, to encourage
him, and he should be patted when let
go. When training, remember that ga
Ugh hand makes light mouth, and
pleasant driving-horse. The well
known important rule of practice, to
start horse by word of mouth, rather
than by touch of the whip, applies es-
pecially to the training period. --Anert-
can Agrtculturist.
PLANTING POTATOES DEEP.-Ac-
counts of light yields of potatoes are re-
ported from different sections, usually
where heat and drouth have prevailed.
When will the farmers learn to know
that the potato requires moisture and
GOODNESS, and that it can not get these
in hot, dry weather when near the sur
face, but finds them when well down in
the groundP This is a safeguard against
all weathers, including wet, if there is
the good drainage which is demanded
by the tuber. 1t needs only a few
inches deeper planting, and an entire
change is effected, even in sandy soil,
only here it requires more depth, and
the potato will bear to be well put down.
1t will not bear to see the light, which
poisons it; and if drouth is added, it
robs it of its necessary humidity. This
occurs in any soil to greater or less
extent; in sand, unless well mulched,
the crop will be an entire failure. And
yet sand is the soil for the tuber; but
more pains must be taken than with
other soil. Depth of planting, early
planting and manure are the absolute
necessities in our drouthy seasons, aud
will do no harm in wet Country
Gentleman.

admirable conclusions are from the pen

The Chinese at Washington.


Some queer stories are told of the
Chinese Embassy now engaged in en-
deavoring to get used to the uncivilized
ways of Washington society. A Wash
ington letter says they are likely to be
the social sensation of the coming sea-
son. They keep two servants in their
establishment who are not Chinese, and
who furnish the public with details of
their private life, which are interesting
and, possibly, reliable. One OF them,
female servant, tells the story that the
first hight one of the Cinnamon spent
in his bedroom there he did not discov
er that the bedclothes could be folded
down, and shivered all the night
through on the outside of the coverlet.
Another story which has better authori-
ty is thus related: IS The house they
occupy was leased furnished, and when
the legation took possession the furni-
ture in the parlor was covered with
white linen wraps. There was deal of
talking when this furniture was exam
ined. None of the Chinese liked it, and
in the end it was ordered away. White,
every one knows, probably, is the Chi
nese mourning color. A furniture dray
was backed up to the door of the big
house on F Street, in which the legation
lives, and fair share of the furniture
loaded on it, when tipping over chair,
the cover slipped from it, and the GRIM
son silk showed itself The Cinnamon
saw it and ordered the furniture unload
ed. The covers were taken off, and no
further objection existed" Mr.. Chin
(or Pin, or whatever his distinguished
name may be) greatly enjoys the atten-
ton he receives from the ladies of the
Capital.

present stands any student can, if he have
access to a well-stored laboratory, carry
away in pill-box matter sufficient to
lay London In ruins, OF to poison the
whole community Of its inhabitants.
The chemist can, as every school-boy
knows, convert water into ice in the
center of a red-hot crucible. He can
construct a shell the size of a cricket
ball which viii explode the moment it
touches the water and overwhelm in
flames a hostile fleet. Indeed, the
chemist reduces the world to its origi-
nal and primal elements. For him,
even more than for the engineer, moth
ing is impossible. And yet his power,
vast as it is, is limited He can more
easily destroy than construct. He can
take life, but he can not give it. He can
level the city with the plain, but he can
not build it again. He can create
prussic acid, but he is ignorant of its
antidote. He is like the fisherman who
rashly opened the vessel sealed with the
ring of Suleiman Ben Daoud. The
forces at his control are beyond his
command; the powers he can evoke he
can not lay. 1t is the old story of Cor
nelius Agrippa those who trihe with
natures secrets do so at their peril.
