In the paper collar industry nearly 10000
girls from twelve to sixteen years OF age are
employed. A skillful girl can count and box
$4,000 collars during a day of ten hours
length. Many hundreds work in gold-leaf

attention are indispensable rather than heavy

A MAINE Greenback orator in one of his
speeches declared that, resumption was a
fraud, and to back up his opinion offered to
give $40 to have $500 in greenbacks changed

he lost the $40 that he might have saved by
reading any truthful newspaper.

Practical SELF. ACTING Doc LAW
"They having not the law, are law unto
themselves" Romans, ii chapter, 14th
verse.
The combined wisdom of the Legislature
having repealed the "dog law," and not
having given us "better onc," the above
text is peculiarly applicable to the sheep
raisers of Tennessee. The merits of the
law recently repealed will not be discussed,
but as the sheep owners have to be law
unto themselves, the following is suggested,
and if enforced will be found to work we'll
and effectively.
BE it resolved by the .shcep-owners of
Tennessee, that each and every one Of them
keep on hand double-barreled gun we'll
charged with buck shot, which will be
found "vory present help in trouble"
Bo it resolved, That each and every dog
found upon the lands of such persons, unac.
compauied by its master, be treated to the
contents of said gun.
BE it further resolved, That in addition
to said gun, said farmers keep also on hand
bottle ofstrychnine, to be sprinkled on any
sheep that may be killed on the place. To
provide for the weak and timid dogs that
may congrcgate, it is best to cut the carcass
into pieces Of suitable size, and having put
in each piece some of tho contents Of the
bottle, scatter them around eight or ten
feet so that all that may come can be accom-.
modated.
Let all adopt this law and practice it,
and it will protect the sheep and materially
lessen the pets of tho legislature.
TO keep down disputes and fuses, mover
talk about killing or having killed dogs,
and all will be well. 1t is not tho killing,
but the tall that causes trouble. "Let not
your right hand know what your left doeth." "

FALL FALLOwINa.-The old practice
OF summer following, or working the soil
one year without crop, for the purpose of
gaming a double crop the second season, is
very properly obsolete. While some NAV
question the propriety of this opinion, there
can be no doubt as to the value of fall fal.
loving. The constant turning and working
OF the ground during the fall months cost
nothing but time and labor, at q season
in reality" COSTS aa thseEdHS h6edHbSg eeG
benefits TO the soil are very considerable
Especially is this tho case with heavy clay
soils, and less, in descending ratio, through
the gradations from heavy clay down to
light loams--at least it is so considered by
many +; and it is reasonable to suppose that
if the atmospheric effects upon the part-
cles Of clay soil serve, TO some extent, to
dissolve the mineral particles, they may
easily do the same service Cor n sandy soil
and help to set loose some of the potash
contained in the granite or feldspathic
particles of such soil. The mechanical
effects Of the fall working are ccrtaiuly
more useful upon clay than a light loan !;
but there are other purposes to serve than
merely to disinteSrate the soil, and mellow
aud loosen it. There arc weeds to destroy,
and the forwarding of the spring work by
the preparation of the ground for early SOW
ing. These services are as useful for q
light soil as q heavy one, and it is reas-
enable to look for some advantage from
tho working in the way of gain in fertility
on light as well as heavy soils, it is advisa-
bic that owners of either kind should
al r. Al.
practice affords. Fall following consists
in plowing and working the soil with the
cultivator or the harrow. This may be
done at such intervals as may be conve.
nient, or which will help to start some weeds
into growth, when these may be destroyed
by the harrow or cultivator Heavy soils
should be left in rough ridges at the last
plowing, with as deep burrows between
them as possible, in order to expose the
largest surface to The effects of frost and
thaw. Light soils may be left in less
rough condition, but the last plowing
should be so done us to throw the burrows
on edge, and not fat, leaving tho field some
what ridged. A very little work in the
spring will put the ground into excellent
order for the early crops, and for spring
wheat, especially, this better condition Of
the soil will be of the greatest benefit
| When thus treated in the fall, the soil j:
remarkably mellow, and is dry enough tc
work much earlier than the compact stub

the harvest AS to the time for doing thi:
work, the sooner it is begun, and the often

A MAN VINO LOST Hrs CoupoNs.-I

A MAN VINO LOST Hrs CoupoNs.--A
party in Illinois recently spilled to the
Secretary of the Treasury for the redemp.
tion of five coupons of United States bon ds
representing several thousand dollars. The
applicant alleged that for safe.keeping he
had placed the coupons in tin box and
deposited them in stove pipe, but subse-
quenty fire was built in tho stove and
the coupons destroyed. The ashes, how.
ever, were retained in the box and were pre-
sented with the application for redemption
The matter was referred to First Comptrol-
ler Porter for his decision. A scientific
examination satisfactorily proved that the
contents of the box were the remains of
coupons, as alleged. The decision in the
case, which has just been given, is quite
important, from the fact that it holds that
the statute authorizing tho redemption of
called bonds, where clear and unequivocal
evidence has been furnished that they have
been destroyed, does not apply to coupons,
which at thu time Of the alleged destruction
thereof have been detached from the bonds.
The coupons in question, having been de-
tachcd from the bonds, cannot therefore be
redeemed Washington Special to Phila-
aelphid Times.
