The Most Vital Duty of Congress.

It is amazing that Congress does not
provide some adequate safeguard
against recurrence of the grave com
plications which surrounded the last
Presidential election. This is by all
odds the most vital duty before it. The
best craftsmanship of both houses
should be Immediately and earnestly
addressed to this question. 1t is not a
matter for partisan feeling or for polit-
ical interest, but one which profoundly
concerns the peace and security of the
country, and upon which the patriotic
impulses Of both sides should be united.
The chances of the next House and of
the next Presidential election are 50
uncertain that all sides can approach
the question with no interest but to
establish just mode of settling any
dispute. There should be no further
delay. 1t will be grave risk, amount
ing almost to a crime, if this session
passes without definite action on this
subject.

The Modocs have rapidly advanced
towards civilization, says the States
Rights Democrat (Oregon,) since being
placed Oh their reservation by the Gov
eminent in 1878, and after this year
they will be able to get along without
assistance of any kind from the Gov
eminent. They now own 1000 acres
of land, ON which they have built good
houses, and have fenced in and have
under cultivation over eighty acres of
land to each person in the colony.
They have 12O acres of wheat, 175 of
corn and 236 head of cattle, and have
cut 140 tons OF hay. Besides, they
have plenty of poultry, etc. Fifty-nine
of their children attend school.

CELERY.

Celery is believed by many to have a
soothing effect upon the nerves. It is,
at any rate, an excellent relish for those
who have acquired taste for it, and
it's use is rapidly extending. It is a
little more difficult to grow in perfec-
ton than any other vegetable that we
have considered, but / believe that it
can be grown by every farmer who re-
ally a0ilzs it. The seeds are very fine
and need to be skillfully treated to i'll
sure their termination in the seed-bed,
which should be made very fine and
| rich, the seeds kept moist until they
have terminated and become rooted.
A deep, damp muck is the best soil to
grow celery in, after it is transplanted,
but it is not indispensable. I have
grown very nice, crisp celery in dry,
sandy soil, but it requires much great
er effort than it does in muck. There
is difference of opinion as to whether
it is better to grow it in trenches or on
the surface. 1 rather prefer COM
promise between the extremes and
would set the plants in shallow trench
es about four feet apart, made very
rich. The plants should be slightly
shaded when first transplanted and
kept we'll watered until rooted. Earth
/ ing up, for blanching, may be deferred
with advantage until the cooler wealth
er OF autumn, except for such as is
needed for early use. The operation
may be performed all at once, after the
plants have attained their full growth.
or two or three operations may be
made in different stages of growth.
do not intend to give full directions for
cultiyating those vegetables which ]
have named, but merely a few hints to
satisfy the inexperienced that the pro.
cess is not difficult. p. G. Reynolds.

ISLE OF WIGHT DoUGHNUTs.

Work smoothly together one-quarter
pound lard and two pounds -four, one
half pound brown sugar, teaspoonful
of allspice and cinnamon, one-half
nutmeg. A small teacupful of fresh
yeast and as much new milk as will
make into firm dough.
Set near the fire until well raised,
then knead it we'll and make into balls
the size of a small apple. Hollow them
with the thumb and enclose few cur
rants in the middle; gather the dough
well over them and throw the dough-
nuts into saucepan half filled with
boiling lard. When equally colored to
a fine brown, lift out and dry on the
back of sieve before the fire. They
should be dropped into the lard as soon
as it boils, or the outsides will be
scOrched before the insides are done.
These are delicious doughnuts and will
keep, hung up in paper bags, for sew
eral weeks. BESSIE A. PEDDER.

The voices of the present say
Gomez But the voices of the past
say "Waitv' With calm and solemn
footsteps the rising tide bears against
the rushing torrent up stream, and
pushes back the hurrying waters.
With no less calm and solemn foot
steps, no less certainly, does a great
mind bear up against public opinion,
and push back it's hurrying stream.
Therefore should every man wait
should bide his time-not in listless
idleness IN useless pastime-not
in querulous detection; but in con-
slant, steady, cheerful endeavors, al
ways willing and fulfilling and accom-
plishing his task, that, when the occa-

ATTEMPTED REVOLUTION.
WILL IT SUCCEED ?

WILL IT SUCCEED!
! The Confederate House OF RepfeSen-
| tatiyes has passed resolutions pGrrort-
ing to be for the investigation OF
frauds in the elections Of 1876 in Lou
isiana and Florida but really for the
purpose Of declaring that Hayes and
Wheeler were not elected President
and Vice-President and hold their Of
fees by fraud and usurpation. The res
olutions were introduced by Clarkson
n. Potter and was pressed to vote
without being referred to committee
and without allowing discussion or
amendments Nota word was allow
ell to besaid against the resolutions and
not an amendment even to investigate
we'll known frauds in other States was
allowed to be introduced. The resolu-
tions being passed acommittee Of eleven
was appointed by the Speaker com
prising seven Democrats and four Re
publicans, Butler with grievance be-
ing one of the four Republicans.
The committee is now ready to COM
mence investigation, and will send for
such witnesses and only such as a ma
jority of the committee wants. Evi-
IDENTIFY the investigation is intended to
be partial and one-sided and if possible
to furnish evidence upon which the
confederate House can base a resolu-
ton that Hayes and Wheeler were not
elected President and Vice-President.
This is the entering wedge to Mexican
iZing the United States-to revolution
and anarchy-the full consequences of
which can not be fOreseen.
The house of the forty-fourth Con-
gress settled the question Of the cleo
ton of President and Vice President
under the constitution and laws of the
United States, and the House of the
forty-ffth Congress has nothing to do
with it. But what does the Confeder-
ate House Of the forty-tifth Congress
care for the constitutions and laws
1t will be governed by the extent of
it's power only and not by constitution
and laws. There may be few Demo
Gratis in the House who are not Confed-
crates, and the Confederates may fail
of their purpose in the House. But
not failing in the House, what more
can they do? Can they revolutionize
the Government? They undoubtedly
hope to. But, will they not, as Gen.
Grant says the Democrats always doa
kick over the pail of milk2 AS the
Confederates are all Democrats, they
will probably kick, and over will go
the pail of milk, and with it the pres
ent Confederate revolution. But even
if such should be the fortunate termi-
nation of the revolutionary proceed
ings they can work evil only, and that
continuously during their existence.

TO KEEP THE BOYS ON THE
FARM.
FARM.
BY PROF. W. j. BEAL.

ID hOfs W. u. BEAL,
MICHIGAN STATE AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE.
1t is very natural for parents to pre-
fer that their children should follo,y
the same business or profession that
they themselves follow. This is likely
to be true of shoemakers, merchants,
mllllners, carpenters, etc. Farmers
are not exceptions to this rule.
Farming, when we'll conducted, is q
good and pleasant business. If our
sons and daughters do not like it, there
is almost always some good reason for
their dislike. | have often taken an in
terest in tracing out the reasons. They
are likely to dislike farming because
they are not pleased with the way in
which their parents have managed it.
In some cases the young person has a
very decided inclination. to some other
business.
Ii you want to make your son like
his business, place him in responsible
places, trust him, consult him about che
work he is to do. Let him do part of
the thinking. Give himnearly the sole
care or responsibility of something on
the farm, the fowls, the pigs, some of
the other stock, some Of the crops, or
the garden, or a part of it. Suppose he
does not do everything just as YOU
would; advise him. 1t is much better
that he should fail while he is vet
young and has time tolearn under YOUR
training, than to not try or fail till he
goes into business, for himself. By
treating children in this way they will
take more interest in their work, and
be much more likely to, succeed when
they start for themselves. Do not
make slaves of your children.
Too many of Ourmost prominent far
mers-farmers who are called the most
successful-send their children to
work each day as they would send an
ignoramus, without any "ifs' or sands"
or reasons for so doing.
For want of proper training, in this
respect, many a young man has grown
up without mental discipline, He has
been able, without much help, in an in
credibly short space of time, to run
through all that hisstrong-mined faith
er left him. Twenty years ago knew
such a man. His farm was called and
known as perfection" for long dis
lance around. He had a son, who is
to-day living in sight Of this old farm.
He owns only poor span of horses.
and is living from hand to mouth land
very poor living he gets at that. The
fine estate slipped easily and rapidly
from the hands of the son, who had no
skill to manage it, because he had new
er been placed in responsible positions
while he was a boy.
So, too often, one generation makes
money for the next 20 squander. In
laying up comfortable fortunes for our
children to waste, we are doing them a
great injury. Better by far to spend
more OF QUIZ time in giving them
proper discipline to manage well.
Then, if thew are healthy, in most cas-
es they need only little start to make
them we'll off in the goods of this
world.
