Itseems that, in the distribution of
clerkslips in Washington, Illinois is
far below her quota. She is entitled to
$50 places, and has but 81, being short
100; whereas Maryland has 149 places
in excess Of her quota. and Maine has
81 too many, and several other states
are over-provided. The western states
appear to be all short of their proper
ton under the law. Indiana is def
cient by lib, Iowa by GO, Michigan by
43, and Wisconsin by 45. 1t seems to
us that it would be proper and pious
thing for the congressman Of those
western st"tes Ito get up on their ears :"
about it, oven il the surplus clerks Of
my Maryland and Jim Blaine's state
were discharged. There is honor, it is
said, even among thieves. But there
has been neither honor nor fair dealing
in tt e apportionment Of the Washington
clerkships. 1t is about time this thing
was corrected. Reform is necessary

in pasture grass is the more natural and
proper proportion. The human animal
frame has seventy-five per cent. of wa.
ter, just as good grass hold. Meat ID
dear as food, because it contains, in the
lean portions, seventy-five per cent. OF
water. No wonder that bread and
cheese are found far more economical
Mark Lane Express.
ORIGIN OF THE New PorAroEs.-The
grains are renewed every year from
the seed, but not SO with the potato,
for this plant is propagated year after
year from tubers formed on the pro.
cumbent stems, and of course must. AT
each successive planting, be exactly
like the original plant; for these tubers,
or what We call potatoes, are not seeds
but only buried or abnormal stems. In.
deed, if an aerial stem, or stalk, of any
kind of potato be carefully bent down
and covered with fresh earth, Just al
lowing its top to extend out of the
earth, small potato tubers will soon be
formed III the axis of the leaves nearly
its whole length. The procumbent
stem that bears the tuber frequently
shows its character by passing out OF
the hill, when it immediately turns up-
ward and becomes clothed with leaves
like the other stems. One practical in
ference from this well-known fact is,
that potatoes can not mix or cross in
the hill. A second one, more import
ant to the cultivator, is that of sorts of
potatoes propagated in any one year
from seed, quite a number Of them will
be likely to show a family resemblance
more or less strong. During the last
sixteen years of his life, the Rev. c. +.
Goodrich raised and tested about 16, 600
seeding potatoes. OF that vast num-
Der he sent out for further trial less than
twenty kinds. But soon after Mr..
GOOdrichs decease the Rev. Prot. d. S.
Hebron (then of Utica, N. Y, now of
Washington Heights, n suburb Of Chi
cago) sent out for the family Of the de-
ceased philanthropist the well-known
sorts:-the Early Goodrich, Goodrich
Calico, Gleason and Harrison, which
last, by the way should be spelled with
one or" only. In the fall of 1867,
Prof. Hebron named and sent out the
Early Rose, Seeding of one Of Mr..
Goodrich's varieties, the Garnet Chill,
and in the fall of 1868 he sent out
another sort that he named the Climax,
seeding Of the Early Goodrich.
During 1868 and 1869 Mr.. Bliss sent
out several of the Breese seedlings,
viz:-Prolifc, King of Earlies IN mis-
nomer), and Peerless, all seedlings of
the Garnet Chill. From this we see
that Mr.. Goodrieh's experiments laid
the foundation for the improved sorts
of potatoes that now benefit the ngri-
culturists and the country. 1t is there
fore plain that we often need new
Seeding to take the place of some old
sort that fails in health or productive
ness by growing old.

WATER FOR SHEEP.-It is n great mis-
take. and the cause Of much suffering
and loss. not to supply sheep with water,
especially mllk-giving ewes. During
the drought of 1868 many flocks were
ruined by want Of water. / know Of a
striking instance where the animals
wasted and were sent to Chelmsford
market in evil condition, the owner be-
ing ignorant of the cause. The dealer
who bought them for q song," first
examined the whites of their eyes,
thinking they must have the rot or jaun-
dice; but, seeing all right SO tar, he
found that water was the only restora-
tive required. Grass in a succulent
state contains seventy per cent. of mois-
ture, but, when dry. very much less.
The same remark holds good for clover,
etc. When we give cake, corn. malt
combs, bran, ETC., which VIC always do,
1t becomes absolutely necessary to pro-
vide water, or the animals will not thrive.
Give the opportunity of judging for
themselves by an always available sup
ply, and they will exercise a proper dis
erection in the matter. An iron water
cart Is on most farms an indispensable
requisite. When food is too wet and
sloppy, dry cotton cake or grain is a
good profitable regulator. Turnips and
mangels are disproportionately watery
as food for animals; hence the losses
occasioned by them, especially with
breeding sheep. They contain fully
nine plnts OF water to one pint of dry
food. Ninety per cent If water ia too
much; sixty-five to seventy-six per cent

THE INDIANS.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-U. S. Indian Agent
Danielson reports from the Fort Hall Idaho
agency that considerable excitement occurred
among his Indians when the news of the Ban
mock outbreak at Camas reached them, but as
most of the Indians present were Shoslones
good counsels soon prevailed. Three compan-
les of the 18th infantry were ordered from
Camp Douglass and two companies were
stationed near the agency. Since the arrival of
these troops everything was quiet and the In
dams returned to their daily vocation of cut
ting their crops.
The report says Capt JIM, one of the sho-
shones, recently came in from Camas Prairie
with ten lodges of Shoshone Indians
John Smith, agent of the Warm Spring,
Oregon, agency, reports that Gen. Howard ap-
piled to him for % Warm Spring scouts for the
Bannock war. After urging the matter very
strongly he found that the Indians were I'M
willing to go, but said that for consideration
of 800 per month for each man and horse they
would comply with the request. The reasons
given by the Indians were, that they had been
taught that it was wrong to fight and now
missionary had come to teach them Gods way,
and if they went to this war they would have
to 60 back and be the old Indian again, which
character they had given up. The agent fur
Their says there has been considerable appre-
hension about these Indians joining the hos
