Eayoring Cremation.

The Municipal Council of Udino, 4
town of Italy about forty miles from
Venice, has lately published decree in
which it declares that, after having duly
weighed and considered the advantages
and drawbacks of cremation re, s7ts inter-
ment, it has come to the conclusion that
the former is in every respect preferable
for the following reasons: l. In q hy-
gienic point of view it is undoubtedly
the best way of disposing of dead bodies.
Q. 1t is a mark of progress, because, by
making cremation optional. the indi-
vidual is at liberty to choose between the
modes of burial. 3. Considered from a
scientific, social, religious and sentiment
tai point of view, no valid reasons can
be brought forward against it, while
many very good reasons might be quoted
for it. 4. The expenses would not be
heavier than those of an ordinary burial.
Cremation has been long introduced,
and is carried out at Milan as at Gotha.
1t is now also officially authorized at
Paris.

Lettuce lsunninS to Seed.

a German authority says that when
lettuce shows signs of running to seed,
ifa knife be passed through one-half of
the stem of the shooting head, the plant
may be preserved good for an additional
week
The best plan we have ever known
for preserving lettuce late, says the
5. Prairie Farncr, is to transplant twice,
once from the seed bed, pricking the
plants out four inches apart, and then
transplanting IN the open ground 6xl9
inches apart; rs the rows begin to nil
cut out one-half of the plants, and the
balance will form fine large heads, if the
ground be rich and moist, and they will
remain well into the summer.

A TRUE NEWSPAPER.

The Nashville AMERICAN has thoroughly estab-
lished itself as the truest and best of Newspaper
publications in the Southern section of the Union.
Its news is always the freshest and most enter
tanning that is to be obtained, and its editorial col
umns are just to opponents, and severe to false
friends. 1t never dictates, but warns. While it
is fair in discussion it is positive in its VIEWS and
tions. By its answering attachment to the rights
and interests of the People, it has become power
in Tennessee which other journal ever attained;
and its influence is only surpassed by its pOpulari
ty not only in Tennessee, but in all the adjoining
States.
The readers of the GAZETTE will also find that
the miscellaneous columns of the AMERICAN en-
brace all that is interesting and useful in the va
rious ieldsof human enterprise; and it can be
safely commended, as a most excellent and valua-
BILE paper in the Household, the Workshop, the
Store-house, and to all people in every vocation.
The Weekly edition is of mammoth proportions,
being II pages, of Y cClumns-and from two to
three times as large as any of the foreign Weeklies
that are offered at less price. If you want the BEST
send for the AMERICAN, which prints three edi-
tions-Daily, Semi Weekly and Weekly, specimen

"short Senatorial Sketches" in the Washington
Gazette

OdIeLie-
James E. Bailey represents with dig
nifty and ability State which has num-
bered among its public servants such il
lustrious characters as Jackson, Polk,
Bell, and johnson. Calm, cleal~headed
and conservative, he is governed by a
sound and enlightened Judgment, which
has given him eelebriety as a lawyer
and placed him high in the councils of
his fellow-citizens. Few, if any, law
yers in Tennessee hold a higher rank
at the bar, or WELD greater influence in
the courts Although taking at all
times lively interest in public affairs,
and seldom remaining silent when the
strife of parties was agitating the coun-
try. he sought office but once previous
TO his election to the Senate. In 1858
he was elected to the General Assembly
from Montgomery county at time
when the ablest men in the State were
called to that body for the purpose Of
revising the statutes and reorganlzlng
the judiciary In this important work
he took an active and Jealous part, and
was noted for faithful and conscientious
service. His senatorial career promise
to be an active and honorable one, and
he has already been singled out as
gentleman of marked ability. AS he is
in full sympathy with the live and pro-
gressive element of the South, and rep
resents to a gratifying degree its culture
and refinement, the Senate will afford
him ample scope for the display OF that
enlightened craftsmanship which the
affairs of that section seem to demand
and he is of all men the least likely to
fail in proving his opportunities.

What Farmers Succeed.

That farmer will succeed who
makes up his mind that the whole
secret of success is in himself; that
it is the man and not the business
that tells. He will succeed if he
brings to bear the same amount of
skill, forethought, any other branch
energy, economy and judgment thai
any other branch Of business re-
quires. He will succeed if he sticks
close to his farm, as the mechanic
does to his shop, and not expect to
work three or four months ard then
take his ease the rest Of the year.
That farmer will succeed who takes
the papers, and digests what he
reads, and is not afraid Of new ideas
and new methods of industry. He
will succeed if it is his intention that
whatever he sends to market shall
be the very best, and so made and
put up that when seen it will be cap
tivating for it's freshness, cleanliness
and purity, and will be unhesitating-
ly taken on account of his we'll
known character for honesty Of
weight, measure and count. Those
who have farms may think them
selves fortunate. for although they
will not thereby find sudden roads
to wealth, they will certainly prove
that persistent farm labor will bring
q sure reward. 1t is worthy of no.
tice, that the adventurer and specu-
lator. with blasted hopes and shat
tered health and fortune, have in The
end to come back to the farm for
health and safety. Agriculture is
the basis of national strength and
wealth, and most certain and lib
eral support of all who follow it in
diligently.

1t may not be generally known that the
United States is the greatest raisn-con-
suming country in the world, and uses
annually more raisins than the whole Of
Europe. The market is mainly supplied
from Spain, the raisins known as ''Mala-
gas" being considered the best They
come from comparatively narrow strip
of country in the south of Spain, which
has hitherto been regarded as surprising
all other regions for raisins of that char
acter. The annual yield ofMalaga grapes
averages 2, 100000 boxes of twenty pounds
each. 1t sometimes reaches 100000
boxes, and last season about 100000
boxes were marketed. OF this enormous
yield the United States takes fully one
half, on which it pays a duty--as on all
other raisins-of two and half cents
pound.
With the continued improvement in
the California and other American vine
yards that will necessarily follow on cul-
tivation and acclimatization this large
import will soon be supplied by domes-
tic production.

Marriage brokers are quite important
busienss men in Genoa. They have pocket
books filled with the names of the marria-
gable girls of the different classes, with
notes of their figures, personal attract
ions, fortunes, etc. These brokers go
about endeavoring to arrange connect
ions; and when they succeed they get a
commission of two or three per cent. upon
the portion. Marriage at Genoa is quite
a matter of calcualtion, generally setteled
by the parents or relations, who often
draw up the contract before the parties
hive seen one another, and it is only
when everything is arranged, and IA few
days previous to the marriage ceremony.
