The Rest Cultivated County In Amer
len.

One Of the best civilized counties in
the whole republic is said to be lan-
caster county, Pennsylvania, originally
settled by Mennonites, Morayians aud
Dmkcrs, who fled from Germany and
Holland to avoid persecution during tho
eighteenth century. They were mining
and agricultural people. and their dc
sccndnnts to-day follow the same call
ngs that their ancestors did. lAncas.
ter was laid ont in l729, and was tho
fourth county in the state. IL contains
92S square mics; the value Of the
farms Is estimated Vt about $S0, 0,0O0,O0O;
u It's agricultural products nearly $50,
100000, and its minerals some 6,OlW,-
coo, The population is about 30 900.
The farms nre small, from 50 to l0O
acres generally, farm Of 200 acres
being very rare. These are seldom
sold they nrc handed down from tho
sire to son the Pennsylvania Dutch, as
they are commonly named, being
among the most industrious, thrifty and
conservative Of people. They have
changed very little i'll the last 100
years, having the same notions, habits
and prejudices that thoy had u century
ago. They arc not enlightened IN
any sense, bat they work hard, pay
their debts, prosper materially and
mind their own business II the Amer
lean generally understood farming ns
they do, this country would be the
garden of tie world.

FARM AND GARDEN.

NEW SANITARY USE FOR TREES. A correspondent of the American Architect calls attention to a phe- nomenon which he has observed in the outflow of waste from his own house. He has a close-built brick cess-pool eight feet in diameter and eight feet deep, with an overflow thence for liquids into a percolating stone cesspool ten feet by ten feet !; both are domed over at the top, closed each with flat stone, and covered with soil. Unlike his neigh bors, whose cesspools are construct ed in the same manner and in the same kind of soil, but who are sub jected to the necessity of cleaning out both cesspools at frequent inter vals, his own have been in use for four years without being opened, and have given no inconvenience. A few months ago q deep excava- ton in the street near his percolat- ing or overflow cesspool revealed the fact that the moisture from it was all absorbed by the roots of three large and very fourishing trees, tulip and two naples, in it's i'm mediate neighborhood. "There could be no accumulation of water" " he says, "where there was such channels to draw it up."
 REMEDY FOR LAMPERs.-Take e three ounces of nitrate of potash, pulverize well, and rub with the fingers about half an ounce to the roof of the mouth. This will have the desired effect.
 To PREVENT RATS KNAwING HORSES HoOFs-Make a mixture of pitch eight ounces. borax one ounce, calomel four drachms. Mix thorough and apply to the animals hoofs.

A COSTLY MAIL ROUTE.

Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Sun, alluding to mail
 routes ofan extravagantly expensive character, contains the following con corning No. 39,11O, which runs from San Diego. California, to Mesilla, in
 New Mexico: 1t is the most costly route in the service. It is SIP miles long It has seven trips a week. Its cost last June was S233,333 B, no
 small fraction of the total cost of star routes. Large as this sum was, it was not paid to connect two rail road systems, East and West, but to connect at San Diego with stage
 lines running to California roads
 and at Mesilla with stage lines run ming north to a Colorado railroad at Fl Moro, and other stage lines run ming east to Texas railroads at Fort Worth and Austin. This route is the last of the overland routes. Such a route was once great through line. It has ceased to be that. Through travel goes by rail. Anywhere, more than 200 miles from its terminus, a letter can better strike for rail trans portation, if on its way to or from California. Emphatically, this route starts nowhere and goes to San Diego. Its mails are gathered from way stations. Their net yield is not S5OOO a year. It costs S233, ,333 33 to reach them. This is not profit able. It is by such lines that the department is bankrupted. There are two sides to this question. Ev- cry man who buys a stamp ought to buy the right to send a letter anywhere with certainty, celerity and security Such a right never has been and never will be denied Such a right does not stand in the way of economy. Local self-inter. est does. Mismanagement does
 Deliberate study of contractors
 profits does. Reckless misuse oi the discretion allowed the depart
 ment by law does. On the Union Pacific the department can run nc more than one daily mail, and its pay is limited by law. On this line with but two Presidential offices in SIP miles-the department can increase the contract trips as il pleases, and pay as much as it dares
