Among the business men of New York
it is q growing custom to refer their dis
putes to arbitration. A suit at law
which lasts from eight months to five
years, and costs from two thousand to n
hundred thousand dollars, is itself too
monstrous q grievance to be the redress
of grievance. Hence, members of our
Exchanges ! bitually bring matters iii
dispute be the Committee on Arbi-
tration, wi give them q hearing, and
often decide q matter in thirty minutes
which might linger in court for years
Most of our readers can call to mind
trials that have lasted months, ard cost
many tens Of thousands of dollars, only
to result in disagreement of the jury.
Some such trials could have been settled,
and and, settled Justly, by any faig;Rin95fi
grounds purely technical, evidence is
often excluded, which would clear the
matter up in ien minutes. Hence the
increasing popularity Of arbitration.
Perhaps there is more in this than now
appears, and it may be but the beginning
of changes both extensive and salutary.
People laughed when some one proposed
to govern the city OF New York by con-
tract, and many of our editorial friends
ha'C idtciy uiduC ucTTy over TIC new
periodical that advocates "thc abolition
of tho State" We do not profess to un-
ders. .and precisely the meaning Of this
new kind of abolition. It may be, how
ever, that many things that are now
done badly, slowly, and very expen-
si,ely, by government, may, in the
future, be done better, quicker and
cheaper by private agencies.
We can imagine private courts of ar
bitration, wherein one, two or three men
of experience and knowledge might
"make business" Of deciding claims
and disputes charging proper com
pensation for their time and labor. Such
things may be. Meanwhile we give the
sage advice to our readers without
extra charge-to settle their differences
in any fair way except by going to law
about them.
Going to law is better than fighting
and that is the best thing VIC can say for
1t.

Mr.. Corbin gaze no heed, going right
along and buying every dollar he could
rake and scrape. There is really no
telling how much confederate money he
has. Those who know, or seem to know.
say he has between seven and eight
millions, besides several hundred
thousand dollars in bonds. When asked
at 4 bank this morning how much his
bonds. were worth, he replied, "Well
have Sl25 900 in one box alone, and that
isn't all, by a lot" And so lie has gone
right on this way for years. He has had
letters from ali over the country and has
bought the stuff right and left, from far
and nca.. AS already stated, no one
knows just how far exactly his freak has
extended, and he may have $50 900 900
for all know. Mr.. Corbin is considera.
bly, stirred up by the recent demand in
London, and seems satisfied he is on the
right truck to an immense fortune. He
is not considered at all shnky in the up-
per story by his friends, though they
cannot, of course, understand his strange
fascination about confederate money. He
has always been considered solid citi-
zen, and is in good circumstances now,
but will he the wealthiest man in the.
South if his dream is ever realized.

Of the pit Of cut food without having
more fresh placed on and tramped down
well, though it matters Motif the work
goes on for several days or even a week,
if it is continually going on and tramped
well. We kept one hand in. the pit all
the time, spreading'and tramping all the
while of filling, and when wc we're
through cutting all hands joined in lev
cling and tramping until the cut food
was compact and levoi. Then..we put on
our Pinch plank, sawed 2xl4, aud about
"a inch shorter than the pit is wide, so
as to allow the whole mass and cover TO
settle down without catching against the
walls. These p!anks were placed close
together all over the ensilage top, except
they did not rub nearer thai. Ii inches
OF the wall all around. After the cover.
ing was well placed, We then put about
900 pounds of stone to each square
yard of surface Of cover These stones
were such AS was picked up eff the fields
that was in our way. When this pit is
opened for the purpose Of feeding, il will
be necessary TO remove the stones OF of
one or two planks at the time, and then
cut and feed the enslagc down TO the
bottom, keeping the edge next to the re-
naming plank cut down perpendicularly
and even with the plank yet having the
weights on it.

question about the value of the new dis
coyery, or the advantage and profit of
preserving the green forage over that of
drying or curing, as it appears there arc
but few intelligent farmers who are not
willing to consent that there is immense
saving i'll the value Of the forage, besides
there is no uncertainty about getting
part or all the crop damaged or ruined
by rain. l have not heard of single
instance of the failure of Slo whcre

Capacity Of Silo, 40 to so tons.
The above Sil0 is first class one, and
cost more than some have seen in sue
cessful use at the North. A good Silo
may be dug in clay soil on top of some
elevated spot where there is good clay
and no danger of water springing in at
the sides. My Silo is on hill side, aud
it was necessary - make the we'll water
tight for fear of water springing in. In
the clay S;lo there is no need of putting
anything in the pit except some rough
boards to keep the food off the dirt. My
Silo was built by my farm hands, with
the help of one expert. The prices given
for labor, carting, &C., in cost of the Sio
is the customary charges for day labor
and carting.
planted my corn seed for ensilage on
18th of July, on land where 1 had har-
vested smsi, grain this year, in rows
about two and one-half feet wide, and
about three to four grains to the foot in
the drill. The crop was plowed twice
with sweeps-no hoeing done. The yield
of green fodder per acre, grown on this
plan, is estimated from ten to twelve
tons, owing to quality Of land, seasons,
&c. The corn should be cut Immediately
after the tassel is out and while the whole
stalk is green, and in succulent condi-
ton. 1t does not make any material diff
ference whether the weather be wet or
dry while the work is going on, though
that which is put down with dew or a
light rain on it seems to keep better than
when it is allowed to wilt in the sun
after cutting. The crop of corn vas cut
and put into the Silo on the 18th and
14th of September, being little over
two months from time of planting TO that
of putting in the Silo. The corn was cut
with common knife and one-handed
sickles, and hauled to the Silo, where it
was run through q cutting-machine, run
~ steam, and cut into pieces from one
half to seven-eighths of an inch long,
the cut food falling directly froEi The
machine into the Silo. The harvesting,
cutting and storing away of the cut food
should all go on at the same time, and
continued without the intermission OF

What Shall We DO With Our Daughters 2

Don't teach them self.reliance. 1t is
so much easier to rely on some one else.
Don't teach them TO make bread.
Their beaux might think they were we'll
bred.
Don't allow them to learn how to make
shirts. It's better they should not know.
Then, when they are married, their
husbands can work twenty hours day to
get money with which to buy ready made
ones, while they knit red dogs.
Above all things, do not fail TO learn
them how TO wear false hair, and if your
daughter object to bang her hair, bang
her over the head.
Do not allow them to learn how to
make their own dresses. 1t is fashiona-
BILE TO have dressmaker.
Teach them that dollar is only 100
cents and does not amount 80 much.
Do not let them learn how to cook.
Should they understand the cuisine art
and know what is needed in family,
the servant could not supply all her rel.
atives with edibles.
Teach them to dam their neighbors,
but not stockings.
Don't allow them TO learn how to sew
on buttons. They might get needles in
their fingers.
Teach them to regard the money and
not the morals Of their suitors.
Teach them none Of the mysteries of
the kitchen, the dining-room, and the
parlor.
Teach them that the more one lives
beyond his income the more he will save.
Urge them to .go with intemperate
young men. 1t is convenient to have n
drunken husband, as the wife is enabled
to take pin money from his pocket while
he is taxing drunken snooze.
Finally, teach them that God made
them in his amage, which necessitates
tight lacing.-Ne0 York Graphic.

Inc Search for the Jeannette.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE ARCTIC CRUISE OF THE
RODGERS.
The Navy department has rece ived advices from
Capt. Berry, commanding the search steamer
Rodgers, dated September 9th, In latitude 10 so
north and longitude 1850 10 west After the ROGg-
ers lett the vicinity Of Herald Island and started
nOrtlwari, she reached latitude 73o A. north lOng1-
tude l.lo AS west without discovering any ndica-
ened as the sh p proceeded north. Capt Berry
thought it best to return to the northeast point OF
Wrangel Island and proceed from there in d north
erly and westerly direction in hopes Of finding the
high land north of Wrangel Island, reported as
situated in 1850 west longitude, and extending as
far north of 73o latitude as the eye could reach.
The Rodgers went as far north 73o g. north lat
itude, and cruised around without sighting land,
with the horizon and Sly clear. On account OF the
heavy character of the ice, extending in unbrOken
fields OF miles in extent, it was believed to be use
less to try and proceed further in that direction
this season, and that by an attempt to do so the
Rodgers would be in danger of being caught in
the pack and have to winter there without an ade-
difficult to conjecture in what direction the jean
cite drifted after she was once fast In the pack,
being at the mercy OF winds and currents. Capt
and follow it to the westward, looking there for
tidings OF the missing vessels and for a su.tlble
harbOr to winter In from which to send out sledge
parties and be in position to SuccOr any one who
might reach that coast. Failing to find suitable
harDor there Capt Berry would leave party with
the search, and would winter the Rodgers in ST.
Lawrence bay and Send parties from there also.
III me spring Inc RoueerS Will proceed
to PlOver bay, fill up with coal
and continue the search. Capt Berry
says that since Wransel land has proved to be an
island OF SO small an extent, with no other land
near it. he deems it useless To winter there. The
report that vessel drifted the coast of Siberia,
west OF konch1n bay, last November, the whalers
believe to be correct, and from the description
given OF her by the natives think she is the Vigil
liant They described her as having deer horns on
the flying jlb boom, with her maStS cut away and
hanging over the side and dead bodies within
her. Some OF the small articles obtained
from the natives by the whalers were recognized
as belonging TO the Vig1lant lThe Vlgilant was
one o the lost whalcrs which were included in the
search OF the ROdgersI Capt. Berry says that he
has still $50 tons or coal on board. The Rodgers is
in every respect In good condition. and the officers
and crew are all we'll Capt. Berry sends with his
report complete chart Of Wrangel Island, here
tolOre known as Wrangel Land, and thought to be
part Of the mainland. A boat from the Rodgers
sailed around the island.
