The Farmers Garden.

The time for singing of birds and
planting of gardens has come and We
desire to call attention of farmers to the
value of the acre which all large land
owners should devote to the cultivation
Of kitchen vegetables. We are satisfied
that this can be made not only the most
profitable acre on the farm, but one
that will conduce most to the comfort
Of the family. The average farmer is
apt to neglect this part Of his estate,
partly because ne does not prize . veg
etable diet st its true value, and partly
because he regards the work in the
garden as "puttering" business fit only
for women and children. We are not
vegetarians ourselves. and are far from
advocating an exclusively vegetable
diet for others, and least Of al for farm

The CLAYTON. Bulwer Treaty.

Thirty years ago the United States
and Great Britain entered into com-
pact defining how they would respec-
lively conduct themselves with regard
to an isthmus ship canal in case any
one should construct it, mutually re.
pu iating the pretence to dominion
over such structure and agreeing to-
gether against the assertion of such q
pretence by any one else. The abroga-
ton of that treaty is now proposed in
congress, and the London Times, as
quoted in our cable dispatches, sets
forth the opinion held in England on
that proposed course. But it can only
be to put the American protection over
an isthmus canal in the right as to
mere formali,ies that it is thought
worth while to abrogate the treaty,
since it assuredly has no vitality at the
present time; and why the Times should
trouble itself to protest against the form
al repeal of law that has not survived
thirty years of momentous history is
not clearly perceptible. In thirty years
that have passed since the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty was made almost
every great state in the world has
revised its relation to every other
great State. In that time the civilized
world has seen twelve wars, some of
them very great wars indeed. Empires
have risen and fallen, and republics
have been created and have perished,
and two great nations have made social
changes that are without parallel in
recorded history. None of the changes
made in the world is greater than that
which has resulted from the discovery
the American people bave made Of
their own strength, and of the extent to
which, acting as other nations act, they
may Justly assert their pretentions to
Influence the future of this hemisphere.
In 1850 we did not know that we were
the greatest military people in the
world; now We do-fo. it is not too
much to say of the nation whose peo-
ole supplied the soldiers for both the
Northern and Southern armies i'll our
war, and whose resources carried on
bot.l sides OF that great conflict, that 1t
has its equal as to those particulars in
any one State in Christendom. From
the standpoint OF new national per-
ceptions on topic of this nature apeo-
pie may fairly say that they will guide
their further actions on agreements
made in view of their present knoWl-
edge of themselves, and at least will
not revive forgotten agreements that
were never put into effect even as to
their prelimInariPs.

BATTLE OF BELMONT.
Grants Explanation Of What Came
Near Bein. 4 Disaster.


After few general remarks on the
character of Mr.. Lincoln, the speaker
branched off, not with any political
purpose, he said, On Grant. His first
acquaintance with that general began
after the battle of Belmont, in which
he whipped the rebels. After his victo-
ry the rebels got behind him, and
nearly captured his army. at takes"
said Mr.. Swett, "a small man to lie out
of difficulty; big man alone can tell
the TRUTH" OF course he meant this in
the moral and intellectual, not in the
physical, sense. Mr.. SWEET, who met
Grant at Cairo IN his hotel, asked the
general why he allowed the rebels to
get behind him, when he could see
them coming up the river to cut him
off. "Well," said Grant, with his usual
deliberation, "you see my army was a
green one. The boys were never in a
fight before. The first idea of every
young soldier in going into battle is
that, whatever else may happen, he is
going to he shot. Laughter and
cheers. He writes to his mother, bids
farewell to his sweetheart, reads page
from his testament, if he has one, and
then he is ready for anything that
comes in his way. That was the way
with my army. They met the rebels,
ran at them with an ease that astonish-
ed themselves. Then they we're exult-
ant. There was, unfortunately, come
whisky lying around loose, ..and some
of that army, l am sorry to confess, got
drunk. They became somewhat de-
moraljzed, and, after the battle, l had
just about as little command over
them as a herder has over wild drove
of Texas steers. Laughter OF course
1 saw the rebels coming up the river on
boats, but l could do nothing with that
army until the boys got scared again.
Laughter. That whipped them into
line, and we defeated the rebe's as easi-
ly as in the first instance" Laughter
and cheers "Now," said Mr.. Swett,

that admission. 1t is not for the news
papers, however" he added.-Leetuye o,
