the suit of Commerford, to enjoin the
postmaster at Louisville from Selling
and delaying lottery letters, Under in
structions from the department, address
ed to the Commonwealth Distribution
Company, and held that seizure and de-
tention of the letters so addressed was
unauthorized by any act of Congress;
that the postmaster was liable for DANA
ges; that the lottery was legal and was
not an equitable and therefore a perpet-
ual Injunction was deneid aud the bill
dismissed.
Bad on the Spectators.
PITTsBURG, March 31.-An adjourned

discussion on the state of the trade en-
sued, and at the close a resolution was
unanimously adopted for the suspending
| of the nail mills for two weeks longer
| from Monday next.
1t is intended to take the business en-
| tirely out of the hands of spectators,
and to confine it solely to producers. If
at the expiration of the two weeks re-
| fered to there is no change, it is apparent
that further suspension will be ordered.
1t is believed, however, that it will not
be longer than till April 10.

ling in the old trundle bed with u
curly headed brother just turned
out of the parents nest to make
room for a new customer. But
trundle bed dreams were soon at
an end, for when the next custom

the trundle bed to make room for
the next that was turned out OF
the nest, and so they kept altarna-
ting for years, until we were turn
ed out into the wide world.
Oh! where now are the little

are resting upon their ever lasting

One OF the greatest social Lrob-
lens Of the day Is to explain why
there Is 80 many marriageable wo-
men who never get married. -
Some say Ii is owing to the excess
In number Of women over men, In
consequence OF which there are not
husbands enough to 90 around -
This, however, is disproved by
statistics. Take the world through,
and the figures show there are as
many men in it as women. Men
do not marry because ii is said,
they cannot afford it. But the fact
il, that no man who truly loved a
woman ever hesitated TO become
engaged to her and eventually
married her because Of her power
ty. They are cold-blooded men,
with no idea of any feeling for a
woman stronger than languid adj
miration, who may be deferred
from assuming what they regard
as burden in the shape of a wife,
unless assured of q liberal income,
but some are not so calculating
Others, again, attribute the evil to
woman's fastidiousness. They ex-
pect too much in husband, and

gers. This is a libel on the sex,-
AS rule, they are no more fastid-
ious than men are, and are Just as
succeptable as men to that en-
chantment of love which invests
its object with every perfection
and covers up every fault. So far
as men and women are concerned,
they are as prone to marriage now
as in any period of the worlds
history. Nevertheless, there are
women waiting for husbands and
not getting them. They are pref
ty, they are accomplished, they
are sensible and under proper
training they would make excel
lent wives and mothers, but they
never get chance. What seems
to be needed is a more thorough
method of bringing men and wo-
men into social contact with each
other.

Some Items i'm Farm Econ
OHnY.
(From the American Agriculurist for
Nov. ~

From the American Agriculurist for
Nov. ID
The arrangement of the build
ings and the division of the farm
into fields depends so much upon
the character of the farm the kind
of farming, invidual taste. ect.,
that it is out of the question to
have fixed plan that is the best
one for all farms of any given size.
There are certain general princi-
Piles which should serve as a foun-
dation for the arrangement, but
the details must necessarily vary
greatly. For example, if possible
the barns should be upon raise of
ground where a cellar can be built
opening to the lower ground at
the rear. The fields should be so
arranged that there shall be as lit
tie fencing as possible, and so loca-
ted that all the fields can be easily
reached from the lane. A long
field has considerable advantage
over one of same area that is square
in the longer "bouts," and there
fore less time spent in turning,
iplowing, narrowing, sowing har-
vesting, ect. A pasture close to
the stables is always handy, and
other things being equal, the Or
chard should not be put at the
rear Of the farm, where the wood
lot had best be located. There is
much labor to be saved In having
every thing so placed-and this
applies to the various details that
seem trivial at first sight-that
there will be no extra steps or
turns in doing the everyday work
of the farm. For example, many
days. work can be saved by hav-
ing the pump in handy corner OF
the barn-yard, where the stock
from number of yards may come
to the troughs. If the matters OF
of the farm are not already econo-
mically arranged, it would be we'll
to make such changes of fences,
buildings, ETC., as to finally secure
the desired end. By degrees the
thoughtful farmer will improve
his farm until it aPproXimates to
model and therefore an econOmi-
cal farm.

Werther had love for Charlotte,

Would you know how first he m ct her
She was cutting bread and butter.
Charlotte was a married lady,
And moral man was Werther,
And for all the wealth of Indies
Would do nothing for to hurt her.
SO he sighed and pinned and ogled,
And his passion boiled and bubbled
Till he blew his silly brains out,
And no more was by it troubled.

What u Woman of VIII Did
From the Baltimore Sun.

In Ulster county, New York, there
is woman of real grit who inherited
fourteen years ago large estate,
consisting principally of farming
property, heavily encountered with
debt. 1t was the old homestead and
she could not bear the idea of seeing
it pass into the hands of strangers,
and was determined that it should
not. Although then only twenty
four years old, and with no other
practical knowledge of life than an
ordinary country lass, she assumed
sole charge Of the estate, de-
termined to clear it of debt. Hav-
ing an old mother, sixty-two years
of age, a half-sister, also helpless
from old age, the two orphan child
rem of deceased brother, to provide
for, this made her task doubly hard.
A little experience taught her that
it was impossible to support her
large family and keep up the inter-
est arising from the heavy indebt-
edness of the estate from the re-
sources of the farm. She de-
cided upon school teaching. She
was engaged to teach in her own
neighborhood at So per month, and
her salary in a short time was raised
to $40 per month. She has contin-
ued school teaching ever since, di-
recting the work of her farm, and
during the sumner vacations going
into the harvest field with the farm
hands to pitch on hay, rake, bind,
&c. She has earned from teaching
school over So, 500, paid off the debt
of the old homestead, and greatly
improved the property. She has
been an extensive stock raiser. Her
wheat crop averaged this year forty
two bushels to the acre, the largest
yield in the county. A short time
ago she learned that a brother-in-
law living in Pennsylvania was in
destitute circumstances. She went
to him and found him helpless from
an incurable disease, with a family
depending upon him. "Ben," she
said, "what can 1 do for you p
Nothing, Libby" was the reply.
"You have your hands full already
We will have to go to the county
house, suppose" "Never, Ben, a:
long as l live. Come and enjoy The
old homestead with me. l will keeI
you and your family as long as yol
live" She says she has enough tt
do now without having to support {
husband, too, which she might have
to do if she were to marry.
