In Walter SCOTS Country.

The Rhymer's tower still partly hangs
together, and the recent veriication Of
of his best known predictions,
partly, perhaps, by virtue of the predic-
tion itself. has furnished up the fame of
the ancient wizard passing well, at least
In tho minds of the natives. But over
all this beautiful border land, rich Just
now with tho golden hues of autumn,
deepening here into brown, and bright
ching there into red, hangs the glamour
Of q far greater magician than Thomas,
the rhymer, or that other warlock,
whose grave is in Melrose abbey. All

as q locality to Abbotsford. The house
stands high above the river, sheltered,

Is charming in the extreme; but Abbots-

place for q poet to dwell in. It lies low,
Is buried in trees, and seems to lack

There is q depressing tone about the

Mr.. Findlay Dun, a member of the
royal agricultural commission in En-
gland, states hat throughout the mid
land and eastern counties and in some
of the southern counties the position OF
the English farmer is critical, and
shows little sign of amendment. To
render English farming less precarious
and more profitable, Mr.. Dun recon
mends greater diversity. Less depend
ence than heretofor must be placed on
arabic culture; less wheat must be gen.
.own; more live stock must be
reared and fed; more dairying, veget-
able, and fruit culture must be prose
cuted. The old lands of England he
considers could not be economically
farmed on the rough and ready system
successful in this country. They re-
quire increasing capital, skill. and re-
source to make them yield even q fail
reward for the labor expended on them.
For the advantage of landlords, tenants,
the community at large. in fact, MIR.
Dun thinks that the old laws of entail
and primogeniture should be either
abolished or so changed as to suit the
requirements Of modern times. They
were good enough in their day, but
their day is gone. The position OF the
English farmers has become a national
question. Shortened farm crops, dis
easc among live stock, and other cause
have combined to shrink English farm
returns from f10, 600, 900 to Ego, 600, 900

Division Of Hours and Minutes.

Why is one hour divided into sixty
Einutes. and each minute again into
sixty secondse This question is often
asked by intelligent children; and the
answer is this: We have sixty divisions
on the dials of our clocks and watches,
because the old Greek astronomer,
Hipparchus. who lived in the second
century before Christ, accepted the
B~abylonian system of reckoning time,
that system being sexigesimal. The
Babylonians were acquainted with the
decimal system; but for common or
practical purposes they counted by soss,
and sdr1, the sossos representing sixty,
and the r sixty times six-thirty-
six hundred. From Hipparchus, that
mode of reckoning found its way into
the works of Ptolemy, about $50 A. D.,
and hence was carried down the stream
of science and civilization. and found
the way to the dial-plates of our clocks
and watches.

How to Treat a Frightened Horse.

A man who has had much experience
in managing horses, says: "Whenev-
err nervous horsemen notice their horse
directing his ear to any point what
ever, or indicating the slightest dispo-
sition to become afraid, let them, in
stead of pulling the rein to bring the
horse toward the object causing its ner-
vousness, pull it on the other side. This
will instantly divert the attention OF the
horse from the object which is exciting
his suspicion, and in n~inety-nine cases
out of a hundred the horse will pay no
more attention to the object, from which
he will fly away if forcibly driven to it
by pulling on the wrong rein. The prac-
tice most persons have of forcing a
horsesup to the object, frightening, is dan
gerous and useless"

ADVANCE UPON CoRINTH.
An Incident Never Published Before =.
Generals Grant and Logan.

Colonel @. III. Adams, the only living
member of General Grants original staff, relates
the following incident in regard to the advance
upon Corinth. 1t will be remembered that after
the battle OF Pittsburg Landing General Halleck
ssoved his headquarters from ST. Louis TO the field
In front of Corlnth. The soldiers of that army well
remember the long lines of bitches dug during that
memorable advance. General Halleck, II was said,
was going to dig the rebels out OF their intrench-
Eients This digging process went on day by day,
week In and week out, until II was the belief
among the soldiers of the army that the Gen
eral of the West had adopted Old Diggers plan
IA his march upon Richmond. General Logan,
OF Illinois, commanded q division well In advance.
He was never so happy as when moving to the
front and pushing the rebels; nor was he satisfied
with the process Of digging the rebels out. He
sent one Of his special detectives TO report as TO
the progress of the rebels; this man returned to
his chief reporting that the rebels preparing
to evacuate. General Logan at once repaired to
the headquarters of General Grant, informing him
# the important news, when General Grant, in
company with General Logan repaired with
number of his staff to the headquarters of General
Halleck, informed him of the situation, and I'D
yised an immediate advance General HIS reply
was that when he needed General Grants
advice he would send for him. whereupon General
Grant made his most courty bow and retired. The
next morning by three o'clock General Grant with
bis staff and personal escort OF about forty cavalry
men, started for Corinth; when they arrived the
rebels had evacuated, after having destroyed al ]
the property they could, the railroad depot having
Just been set on fire. which General Grant and staff
Il once endenvored to save, Grant himself working
at the pump, while others carried the water After
the fire was distinguished General Grant sent TO
General Halleck his scompiments, with the informa
tion that he had been In Corinth some time
md that the enemy was on the retreat. In two
hours thereafter the advance of the Union forces
filed into Cornth. SO ended the advance upon
Corinth. At the time the writer well recolects
that both the army and the people were much dis
appointed that so important an opportunity had
been neglected; but 30 far asmy recollection goes
the incident here given was never published. Tho
history of the country has already given the pleas
ing fact that the two Illinois generals who figured
mere at a disadvantage were vindicated by the
President, the people, and their own heroic ac-
tions. With purpose of adding another item to
the unwritten history Of the rebellion, the above
