AS to the kinds of grasses, he advocated an
admixture of all kinds.
Row. J. L. NJ Burnett, of Cooke county,
made highly instructive talk on the i'm
portance of the grasses, being an enthusi-
astic advocate thereaf Clover, he deems,
the best of all for fertilizing the land. He
said we must raise grasses and must stop
the indiscriminate corn culture, or the cul-
ture of other crops that require so much
tillage. His motto is grasses, and cattle,
and do away with corn and hogs.
Col Jno NJ Meek, of Jefferson county,
heartily concured in the previous remarks.
saying that if we can't get the farmers to quit
raising corn and go to raising grass let them
emigrate, and other men came here who
will raise grass. which is the foundation of
agriculture. He said orchard grass is the
best for grazing. He spoke in highly COM
mandatory terms of Col. j. B. klllebrow's 8
work on the Grasses of Tennessee, and said
every farmer ought to have it. He found an
excellent grass in it, which he has adopted =
the oat head grass He wound up by ad-
vising the farmers not to touch corn, CON-
mercial fertilizers and drills.
G.. Fl. Strong, successful farmer Of
Knox county, by special request, gave some
of his experiencr in gIass raising,
which he also proclaimed OF
supreme Importance. He, cited, on ths
question of durability, field on his farm
in orchard grass which had been set for
| twenty-eight years, moved two and three
times every year and never disturbed. He
said that the reason Col. Meek is oppofed to
fertilizers and machinery, he suspected that
the Colonel had never made use of them.

c. E. Dunn, of jefferson county, en-
dorsed the tribute of Col. Killebrew's
"Grasses of Tennessee" He also advocated
the cultivation of crosses most emphatical

Mr. Corley, of Blount county, advocated
the claims of Burmuda grass.
Mr. Beeler, of Jefferson county, testified
to the importance of grass cultivation.

The Pulses of the Human Family

A great many people who never
thought Of pulses before have had their
attention turned that way by the Presi-
dents illness. This table will interest
them. 1t gives the average frequency
OF the pulse per minute
Pulse In the newly boz n infant. .l30 to l40
Pulse during first year. r............lI5 to 1870
Pulse during second year.........l .lW TO li5
Pulse during third year.......... 95 to l05
Puise during seventh To four -.
teenth year. r....................... oO 10 w
Pulse during fourteenth TO twen-
ty-first year r...................... rs to IS
Pulse during twenty-hrst to six
tieth year. r........................ ~ 10 90
Pulse in Old age..............s... 70 10 oO
In infiammatory or acute diseases the
pulse may rise to 120 or even to 100, In
the adult, and becomes so frequent In
the child that it cannot be counted.
Muscular exertion, mental excitement,
digestion, alcoholic drink and elevation
above the sea level, accelerate the pulse,
and as rule 1t is more frequent in the
morning than in the evening. 1t is
slower in sleep, and from the effects OF
rest, diet, cold, or blood-letting. The
pulse of grown woman exceeds that Of
man of the same age as much as ten
to fourteen beats minute, and, Accord
ing TO some authorities, is less fiequent
in the tall than In the short person, the
variations being about four beats for
each six incnes of height.

IL Made Her Homesick.

From the Det, oit Free Press.
"Darling, wake mp and stop snor-
Ing" said Detroit woman to her hus-
band.
"Ehs Whazza matter now ?" he
asked, as he half raised up in bed.
"Won't you please stop snorings II
you only knew how homesick it made
me Pm sure you would"
"Homesick How the deuce can
my innocent snore mako you homo
sick ?"
"Why, you know, darling, that the
house on the coast, from which you
took me a joyous bride, was only hall
a mile from a government fsghorn,
and every time you sn re it reminds
me so of home that | can't staud it.
Please lay OF your side and have some
respect for my feelings" .
And then the brute spread himself
on his back and in five minutes had
her bathed in tears as visions Of the
old home crept upon her.

what the Man Who Was Nearly
Hanged IL Doing.
A Baltimore correspondent Of the Iu-
dianapolis Sentinel writes:
Though had not seen 1t for FIVE
years, knew the face the moment |
put my eyes on 1t yesterday as landed
on the Old Dominion wharf from the
Norfolk steamer. The straight, erect,
1.-the, military form had not changed !;
the long, sandy moustache and goatee q
Ia Napoleon Ill. were the same as years
before the fierce, steady, eagle eyes
were as bright as ever; the acquiline
uose as pointed as the mans character,
and his step was as light and springy as
in our youth, when he and / had
trampei the fields and waded the
marshes of Prince Georges county,
Maryland. 1t was John Ii. Surratt. He
has not changed whit In fifteen years
Even age has failed to leave its mark,
save in steadier gait aud more mobile
countenance. The same set of features
that marked him when boy as one Of
unusual determination, as one Of decib
i've and firm character, makes him re-
markable yet among men. Standing
feet IL inches and, as straight as an
arrow, John ii. Surratt strikes the OBJ
server forcibly as being military man
OF martinez discipline. The protrusiye
development Of the frontal bone between
the eyebrows IL indicative of the great
will-power which has governed this
strange mans life. Nerve and will and
love of adventure. Those are the
main ingredients of The character Of this
man, who vas the object of the concen-
trated persecution of this nation, and
whose mothers death hangs a perpetual
pail of disgrace over this people. On
iuquiring / learned much Of Surratt's
life in the past fifteen years. At present
he 10 engaged as clerk on the wharf in
the freight department of the Norfolk
Steamboat Company, generally called
the "Old Dominion Line"

The american Slang'' with which
English Journalists delight 70 enliyen
their columns is not more strange and
novel TO Americans than the "Ameri.
can fancy drinks" which seem to be
retailed at British bars. Our esteem-
ed contemporary the Pail Mall Gazette
tails into trance of establishment be-
lore programme Of alleged American
potations put forth at the Covent
Garden promenade concerts, two-thirds
OF which at least were never heard of
IN America. After dwelling upon
liveners, coolers, nervers, appetizers,
nightcaps, eye-openers, settlers, corpse
revivers, whiskey twists, whiskey
crusls, brandy stings, brandy scaffs,
gin cock4ails, Bombay cocktails, Pres.
dent Lncolns, General Grants, white
i,ons, prairie oysters, thunders,
hasdes OF lightning, gin skins, Bour-
bon skins and eye skins with gentle
insuiar wonder and awe, our esteemed
contemporary continues, "We can un-
derstand the people who imbibe par
sons delight, too-tOO and even
mothers milk but what inscrutab BILE
beings are they who relish egg -nogg,
straights, sangaree, flap flap, John
Collins, stone fence or swizzle 9''
What can be said of them? Why.
that they must be Englishmen "Egg
nogg" is as old as Dean Swift, and the
word nogg is simply an abbreviation
Of the old English word ..noggin.' ,.
Dennis could give our esteemed Co
temporary the significance of mug
Of flip, and flip flap is as cd and al
English. Sangaree came to America
through England from the Spanish
West Indies and was for years the
standard drink Of Jamacia after rum
toddy. ''Swizzle" is pure English
slang. The refreshing John Collins
was introduced into New York by an
accomplished British officer long lesi-
dent here on public business at the
Clarendon, and owes at least lis name
to the head waiter at Limmer's, if not
indeed its origin. Captain Gronow
records that Limmer's was renowned
for It's "gin punch" before the battle
of Waterloo, and out of the "gin
punch" of the Regency the John Col
Inns of later days doubtless came by a
natural process of evolution.

The PhUadelphjd Times has discovered
new political philosopher, one Blossom
Brick, from whose political doctrines it
gives the following choice examples:
Give the people plenty of tafy and the
newspapers plenty of advertisng-then
help yourself to anything that's lying
around loose.
1t matters less how many votes you
have than how many you poll; it matters
less how many you poll than how many
you can get counted.
One election officer we'll in hand is
worth score Of voters on the half shell.
In politics the people are blind asses
who think they can see through brick
walls; they are only dangerous when
they kick.
The Government means not those who
vote, but those who receive, count, and
return the votes.
II you want office, young man, knccl to
the Boss first, then to the leaders, then
to the people, aud afterwards to the Lord,
if you have any spare time left.

The Denver Tribune gives a statement
respecting the losses Of cattle on the Col
orado ranches, caused by lack of water
and food: Where the grass is plentiful
the streams are frozen to their bottoms,
and there is no water. In places where
there is water the grass is scarce; but
even with a sunciency Of grass and water
to sustain life, SO cmaciated and cnleeblcd
are they by famine and cold during the
past SIX weeks that their strength may
not be equal to the severe cold that may
be in store for them. In Southern Col
oradO the bodies Of dead cattle could be
seen by hundreds dotting the plains along
the lines Of travel. Along the railroads
are also to be seen numbers OF living cat
tie lying down in the snow and almost
buried from sight. These cattle will
surely die, for when they become SO weak
that they must lie down, unable to rise,
nothing can save them but the attentions
of herdcr and the providing Of shelter
and food. None of these things can be
furnished to the cattle on the plains.
