A SINGULAR COMMUNICATION. - The
New York Herald recently published the
following:
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: It ap-
pears, from the virulent attacks made in
Q morning contemporary, that the pro-
posal of Cyrus W. Field to erect mon
ument to Major Andre, the British spy,
is not favorably received by the so.called
American people. It is strange that a
people such as the Americans, who are
the riffraff and the descendants of the
SCUM OF Europe, should objsct to have
monument raised to the memory OF q
good Englishman, who used all his ef-
forts to help the supremacy of English
power in this country. And had the
English been successful. had they subju.
gated the Colonists, there would not be
to-day such villiany and corruption in
this upstart, mushroom country. That
trite old saying: "Put beggar on horse
back, is applicable to the people of this
country. Having obtained their indie
pendence, they anger the gods by their
national impudence and their pompos-
ity. A Britisher. HENRY T.. PARsToN.

A New MORNING NFwspApER.-The
Gold Hill News says that Harry Mighels
intends to start daily morning paper in
Virginia as, soon as the present session
of the Legislature closes. If there is one
thing that is needed in Virginia more
than another it is bold, outspoken and
independent daily morning newspaper,
controlled by broad and liberal mind,
and hampered by no monopoly; jour
nal that will not toady to the rich, nor
ride rough-shod over the poor. Whether
newspaper conducted upon the prin.
oiples named above would be supported
by the people is question which Mr..
Mighels will do we'll to carefully consider.
Unless newspaper can secure the adver.

handsome base surmountei by Il column in
which works spiral spring so scientifically
adjusted as to weigh anything up to twelve
pounds with perfect accuracy; on the top of
the column is the platform on which the ar

have an adjustable Indicator so that YOU can

TRAIN THE BOYS FOR BUsINEss.-
There is one element in the home
Instruction of boys to which, says a
Boston paper, too little attention
has been given, and that is the cul-
tiyatlon Of habits of punctualitv,
system, order anl responsibility.
IN too mauy households boys from
twelve to seventeen years are too
mach administered to by loving
mothers or other female members of
the family. Boys lives during those
years are the haIcyon days of her
existence. Up III the morning just
III season for breakfast; nothing to
do but to start off early enough not
to be late; looking upon an errnnd
AS taking so much time and memory
away from enjoyment; I1tDle thought
OF persona! appearance except when
reminded by mothers to spruce
up" a little; finding his wardrobe
always where mother puts it-fn
fact, having nothing to do but en-
10y himself.
Thus his life goes on until school
ends. Then he is ready for bust
ness He goes into an office where
everything is system, order, precis-
ion. He is expected to keep thugs
neat and orderly, sometimes kiudIe
fires, file letters, do errands-in
short, become part Of a nicely
regulated machine, where every
thing moves in systematic grooves,
and each one i responsible for cor
rectness in his department., and
where in place Of ministers to his
comfort, ne finds task-maslers, more
or less lenent, 10 be sure, and fv-
erything in marked contrast to his
previous lite.
In many instances the change is
TOO great. Errors become nnmer-
Gus; blunders, overlooked at first,
get TO be matter Of serious mo-
ment; then patience Is overtasked,
aud he boy Is told his services are
no longer wanted. This is hi. first
blow, ard sometimes he never raj
lies from it. Then comes the sur
prise to the parents, who too often
never know the real cause, nor
where they have failed in the train
ing of their children.
What is wanted is for every boy
to have something special to do; to
have some duty at a definite hour,
anu to learn to watch for that time
to come; to be answerable for a GER
tain portion Of the routine Of the
household; to be trained to antici-
pate the time when he may enter
the ranks of business, ana be torti-
fed with habits OF energy, accuracy,

MADE LAND The reclamation
of very valuable tract of land up,
on one of the Scotch rivers, was
made IN a simple manner quite re-
Gently. Stakes were driven into
the mad at the waters edge at reg
uiar distances parallel to the course
of the river, Between these stakes
branches OF trees and brush were
lhlckiy matted or iuterlaced. This
simple contrivance resulted in the
deposit at every high water Of large
quantities Of silt and mud, until at
last an embaukment was thrown up
without any further expense, suffic-
lent TO keep out water except at
high doods The land thus reclaim
ed was sown with grasses and is
now used for grazing cattle and is
valued at $40 per acre for this
purpose alone. There are thou
sands of acres alongside of our riv-
ers, both upon the coast aud inland,
which might be reclaimed in this or
similar ways at very little expense.
As preventive of washing away of
banks, it might also be made use of
IN many cases.

CONGRESS met on Tuesday.

The reason why people have hard
times every few years is easily *
planned. The laboring masses bor-
row money or run in debt, and then
pay from ten to fifteen per cent. in
terest on their debt. Every ten
years the money loaner doubles his
money, and every ten years the la
boring man, having paid all he
could earn as interest, finds himself
without money, property or credit.
Quit borrowing money. Pay as
you 90, and save the interest for
yourselves and dyourchiIdren.-r Min

DEPTH TO Sow WHEAT.-Mr.
PETER, one Of Wisconsin's excellent
farmers, says in the Stale Transac-
'ionS that, in experiments to ascer.
tain the proper depth to plant
wheat. he found one-fonrth of an
inch preferable. He thinks the
sooner the kernel sprouts and sends
Its shoots above ground, the better
and stronger will be the plants, and
the thicker will be the stand Take
one season with another, Mr.. PEI
fer ls undoubtedly right, but if the
soil is very dry at time OF sowing
and dry spell follows, greater
depth would be preferable.

wholly in the snn, but to cure in
