Some little time since the president
nominated S. B. Packard, of Louisiana
notoriety, as consul to Liverpool. Yester-
day the senate confirmed the nomination,
aud Mr.. Packard will undoubtedly enter
upon the duties of this lucrative Office at
an early day. Thus it is seen that one by
one Mr.. Hayes rewards the political ser =
vices Of the conspicuous partizans who
were engaged in the Louisiana and Florida
conspiracies, by giving them the best and
most desirable official positions within the
Executive gift. Packard's demands have
been regarded as somewhat exhorbitant by
the mass of the republican party, but it is
to be presumed as between him and Hayes,
they have full understanding as to the
value of services rendered, and the accept
ance of this particularly lucrative consul
ship by Packard may be considered as ar
acknowledgement on his part of value
received. All the visiting statesmen
except Ampt of Cincinnati, and Chandler
of New Hampshire. have long been re
warded for their visits aud their special.

The Society Of Women.

1t is better, wrote Tbackeray, for
you to pass an evening once or twice
a week in a lady's drawing-room,
even though the conversation is slow
and you know the girls song by haart,
than in a club or tavern, or pit of o
theater. All amusements of youth to
which virtuous women are not ad-
mitted, rely on it, are deleterious in
their nature. All men who avoid fe.
male society have dull perceptions,
and are stupid, or have gross tastes,
and revolt against what is pure. Your
club-swaggerers, who are sucking the
butt of biliard-cues all night, call fe-
male society insipid. Poetry is un-
inspiring to q jockey; beauty has no
charms for q blind man, music does
not please a poor beast who does not
know one tune from another; but as a
pure epicure is scarcely tired Of water.

these do not belong to farm culture.
This demand for air is seldom OBJ
served by the farmer, because the ex.
posure of stem and leaf is secured
without any attention being required,
and if the plant suffer from want Of
air at the root, the defect not being
visible. the unhealthy condition. will
most likely. be referred to some other
cause. A simple experiment to
demonstrate the Importance of air at
the root Of u growing plant will
as,onish most farmers. Take largo
flower pot and varnish it on the out
side to prevent the air penetrating ii.
Fill it with earth, and plant in it some
hardy plant-a suntlower. for exam
pie. When this has got into vigor-
Gus state Of growth, cover the earth
in the pot with batter of plaster of
paris, and when it is hard varnish the
surface Of it well, and your plant will
Gle in foriy-eight hours. Nearly the
same effect is produced by saturating
the soil with water, if that condition
is maintained for any considerable
length of time. Water, however, is
capable of absorbing large amount
Of air, and on this account plants
with their roots immersed in water
will live much longer than if they
were entirely excluded from air. A
perfect ventilation of soil is one of
the purposes-indeed, the chief pur--
pose of undertaking and of thor
ougt,y pulverizing the soil. The i'm
portance of this may be observed in
cultivating a corn crop on a stiff clay
soil. A heavy shower falls imme-
diately after the plow or cultivator
has been used. A few days of sun
shine covers the surface of the ground
with crust Of baked clay, which the
air can scarcely penetrate. The coru
directly shows the want of air, by its
yellow hue, but the plOw or culliva-
tor will almost Immediately restore
its dark green color Every farmer
understands the Importance of keep
ing the ground loose and well puiver-
lied, in order to secure q healthy
growth of his crops, but every ono
has not thought to ask himself why
this is not necessary"

We find in the Scientific American
these very interesting facts regarding
American carpets: Onr production Of
carpets is larger than that of any other
country in the world. In 1875 the
value of the product was $32. .l68.
In 1872 our importations of carpeting
amounted to nearly sc. .OOO, 900; in 1877
they were only $674,9ll. In their
report as TO the character Of American
carpets the Centennial judges said:
"Tbe proofs at the exhibition of our
attainnents 10 this manufacture were
observed with no lille surprise. 1t
was manifest, from the absence of RI
val foreign exhibitions, that in respect

dium qualities, up to the two and
three-ply ingrains. the competition is
confined to our own manufacture.
Even rival English manufacturers
generally admitted that in the produc-
tion of jacquard Brussels, tapestries
and Wiltons, and narrow Administers,
we have nothing to learn from them
either in design or fabrication" 1t is
worth while remarking in this connec-
lion that when American inventors
undertook the task of devising car.
pet-weaviDg machinery, the work was
all done on haddlooms by men. Now
women and boys do all the manual
labor. In 1874 a nan, with o helper,
could weave not more than seven
yards of Brussels carpets in a day.
