A Virginia Senator's Home.

In letter from Wytheville, to the Rich
mond State" DIR. Bagby says:
II spent an evening at Senator Withers'
farm mile out Of town. I could write a
whole letter about it. The noble spring,
the spring house, best piece Of stone work
I ever saw; the grand old cherry trees, the
garden crowded with lucious fruit and
berries: etc., etc., well deserve letter. 1
found the patriarch, for such he is, sur
rounded by children. grand children,
adopted children, friends, guests, relatives,
dogs, puppies, little negros, babies and pet
foxes-about million of them. He was
suffering from rheumatism in his old
wounds. but happy withal, as the king of
thejolliest household in Christendom ought
to be. We had nothing to say about State
politics. The Senator thought that lust
now Sherman's chances seemed better than
Grants. Was neither sanguine nor de-
spondont about democratic success in 1880.
A northern Senator's house would have
shown every luxury and splendor, but here
in this plain Virginia farmers home was
every comfort and the best of cheer. Long
may this Roman simplicity obtain.-With-
er's told me two good ones-frst of a man
so lazy that he spent his days in summer
under a tree on COW skin with the tail
attached; every half hour negro would
catch hold of the tail and pull his master
into the shade; second, OF debtor so i'm
pudent that he would borrow a uniform
and review a regiment of his creditors in
it.'
cat 10 O'Clock I rose to take my leave.
Mrs. Withers opened her eyes wide.
" Surely you are not going?'
Eyes. This tavern is crowded already.
Crowded, indeed; why we have got a
whole room for you-what more do you
want p
"These Virginians do beat the world
for hospitality. AS looked at this whole
souled Virginia mother, whose only regret
is that she did not have fifteen instead of
twelve children, the matron before me ia
ded away and Saw in the glass of memo
ry dark eyed girl, with profusion of
black curls, seated on the roof of her mo-
theirs house talking to party of us at
Miss Nancy Bryce's. They said she was
too gay and frelicsome to make good
wife. Much we know about women.
Witness this immense joyous household,
and the good fortune Providence has
brought to it."

Fowls IN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fall We
visited an orchard in which fowls were
kept, the owner of which told us that to-
fore the fowls were confined in 1t the trees
made little or no growth, and only a ccr-
responding amount of fruit was obtaineI.
But what change was evident now. Tie
grass was kept down, the weeds killel,
and the trees presented an appearance Of
thrift, which the most enthusiastic hort
culturist could not but admire and envy.
The growth of the trees was most yigor-
GUS. and the foliage remarkably luxuriant;
the fruit was abundant, of large size, and
free from worms and other imperfections.
The excellence was accounted for by the
proprietor, who remarked that the 'shens
ate all the worms and curculio In their
reach, even the canker worm.'' He found
less trouble with their roosting in trees
than he expected, and that picket fence
six feet high kept them within bounds.
His orchard was divided into three Sec
lions, and the fowls were changed from
one to another. as the condition of the
fowls or the orchard sections seemed to
require.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

The CREED OF FARMER.-The agri-
not long ago and adopted for themselves
the following creed:
We believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation
We believe the earth loves to eat as we'll
as the owner, and ought, therefore, to be
we'll m MANFRED.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things; and therefore, in deep blowing,
and enough of it. All the better if it be
subsoil plow.
We believe in large crops which leave
land better than they found it, making
both the farm and farmer rich at once.
We believe that every farmer should own
good farm.
We believe that the best fertilizer of any
soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise, and
intelligence; without these, lime, gypsum,
and guano will be OF little use.
We believe in good fences, good farm
houses. good orchards, and good children
enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen, neat
wife in it. clean cupboard, dairy. and
a clear conscience.
We believe that to ask man'sladvice Is
not STOPPING, but of much benefit.
We believe that to.keep place for every
thing and everything in its place, saves
many a step, and is pretty sure to lead to
good tools and keeping them in order.
We believe that kindness to stock, like
good shelter, is saving of fodder.
We believe that it is good thing to
keep an eye on experiments, and note all,
good and bad.
We believe that it is good rule to sell
grain when it is ready.
We believe it is good plan for every
farmer to attend to his own business.

BAKED CHICKEN PIE.-To make the
crust, use one-half pound of butter to
every pound of flour, and three teaspoon
fuls OF baking powder; chop one-half of
the butter into the prepared flour until it
is we'll mixed in; add little ice cold wa
ter and work it into stiff dough; roll it
into thin sheet and spread on one-haH
the remaining butter; fold it up, butter
side in, and re-roll it; then spread on all
the butter, fold again as before, and roll
out thin; cut in the size required for the
pie. Line the bottom and sides of we'll.
buttered earthen ware cake pan or pud-
ding dish with the crust; then to a large
tender chicken add almost half pound of
salt pork. Have the pork chopped fine.
and lay on one layer of pork; pepper it, u.s.
ing no salt, and cover with pieces of chick
ed; then another layer of pork, and so on
until all the chicken is used up. Have
three hard-boiled eggs chopped up and adj
ded with the chicken. Before laying on
the top crust place few small lumps of
butter about the top. and add water
enough to make as much gravy as may be
desired. Cut star or other ornament ON
the top, and bake for one hour in slow
oven.

EXPULSION OF FLIEs.-A lady writes;
For three years l have lived in a town.
ana during that time my sitting room has
been free from flies, three or four WALKING
about my breakfast table, while all nv
neighbors' rooms were crowded. I ofte n
congratulated myself on my escape, but
never knew the reason of it until a few
days ago. I then had occasion to move
my goods to another house, while I re-
NAMED on for few days longer. Among
other things moved were two boxes of &c
ran1ums and calceolarias, which stood il
my windows, being always open to full ex-
tent top and bottom. The boxes were not
gone half an hour before my room was as
fnll OF flies as those around me. This. to
me, is new discovery, and perhaps it NAV
serve to encourage others in what is al
ways source Of pleasure, namely, window
gardening. Mignonette planted in long,
shallow boxes, placed on the window sill.
will be found excellent for this purpose.
CHICKEN SALAD.-A good salad can be
made with the remnants of veal dinner.
Cut the celery and veal into small bits.

pint Of meat and celery boil six eggs hard.

whites with meat. mix yolks with one ta-
blespoonful mustard, ona salt, one sugar,

PAYING THE BONDS WITH
GREENBACKS.

Tin to within less than twelve
months ago the noisy politicians
who shape Democratic public sentl-
ment in the Southern and Western
States, we're urging from every
stump and through the columns OF
every Democratic newspaper, tha'
the United States bonds should be
maid in greenbacks. They insisted
that the way to do this was to
print enough paper money to pay
off the bonds at once, and bring all
this vast volume of irredeemable
naper into circulation as currency
Every intelligent person we'll knew
that this was wholly impraetlcaole'
and the worst sort of lunacy; but
these vagrant politicians hoped to
put it through by appeals to preJu-
dice, misrepresentation and false
hood. There was only one way to
reach such a result, and that was
through specie resumption. But
these lunatics determined to pre-
vent specie resumption, and fought
against it with all the zeal of I'M
ballowed ambition and partisan
malice. A few fought against
because they knew no better, Will
MANY were actuated by motives Ola
metrically opposed to patriotism.
But thanks to the frmness o
Secretary Sherman and the Repub
lican party, their folly was check
mated and their plans defeated

Thus, in spite of all the actiV
