Removing the Capitol.

4 few years ago it was the fashion
among certain clique of politicians,
whose utterances were echoed by por-
ton of the press. to clamor for the remov-
alofthe Capitol from Washington to some
representative Western city near to the
geographical center of the country. The
topic seemed TO prove seven days Won
der, however. and was soon forgotten in
the rush and requirements of the Nations
urgent business. Now whether the Capt.
tol will ever be removed or not is not near
so interesting question to some people
aswhether rheumatism can or will be re-
moved from their bodies. The subject
of the removal of this disease from the
system has very successfully interested
myriads of people, and from the extend
ed expressions conveyed by the almost
innumerable statements received from
representatives ofevery class of the com
munity.we append the following brief Sc
lection, for the benefit Of the
reader that the disease referred to is
rheumatism or neuralgia and the remedy
is that grand old pain panacea-St.

furnishing Of Jewelry.

Some persons can wear cheap jewel
rywithout its furnishing. while on others
even gold ornaments soon change color.
The following explanation of the two
facts is given by the Jetceiicr:
II i well known that the human body
contains humors and acids, similar in
action to. and having like tendency
toward. baser metals. as nitric and sui
phuric acids have. namely. TO tarnish or
dissolve them, varying in quantity in
different persons; of this theory we
have abundant proof in the effects
which the wearing of iewelry pro-
duces on different persons. Thou

effect. the cheaper class of jewelrv with
brass car-wireS, while if others wore the
same article for a few DAYS. they would
bc troubled with sore ears; or, in other
words. the acids contained in the system
would so act on the brass as 10 produce
i'll results. Instances have occurred in
which articles OF jewelry Of any grade
below eighteen carat have been tar
ni>hed in a few days. merely from the
aboye-aamed cause.
True, these instances are not very fire.
quent; nevertheless il i well to know
them and they are sufficient to prove
that it i not in every case the fault of
the goods not wearing well-as it is gen
orally called but the result OF the par
ticular constitution by which they are
worn. - l0Hfh'S Companion.

all over town. and nobody can find them
when there is fire. They brought the
engine into our yard in abou; ten min
utes. and just as Sue and the cook and
| had put the fire out. But that didn't
prevent the firemen from working with
heroic bravery, as our newspaper after
ward said. They knocked in our din
ing-room windows with axes, and
poured about thousand hogsheads of
water into the room before we could
make them understand that the fire was
down by the barn, and had been put out
before they came.
This was all the Professors fault, and
it has taught ME lesson. The next
time any one wants me to improve my
mind I'll tell him he ought TO be
ashamed of himself. Jenny Brncn,"

The damage done to pastures and
meadows by the grub of the May-bug
is often very great, and the only effect
i've protection the farmer has against its
depredations is through the agency OF
the despised and hated crow. At least
so thinks a correspondent Of the ADac,'i-
cIn IgricUifHriSi. who makes an earn
est plea on behalf of these sable deni-
zens of the air. The crow. he says, has
great skill in detecting the presence OF
the destructive grub. and if allowed TO
multiply, would soon cXterminate the
pests. or al least reduce their numbers
so much that they would do no serious
damage. \ few hills of corn in spring

" We Runned Away"

Two little rascally darlings, they stood,
Hand clasped in hand, and eyes full of glee,
Stock-still in the midst of the crowded street,
Naughty as ever children could be.
Horses to right of them, horses to left,
Men hurrying breathless to and fro,
Nobody stopping to wonder at them,
Nobody there with right TO know.
Oh what chance for a full truant joyl
Earth holds other equal delight.
Hark it is over-a shrick fills the air,
woman's face flashes palid white:
20 babiesl whose are you! How came you here? "
The busy street halts aghast, at bay;
Serene smile the infants as heavenly clear
They both speak together: 1--WE ruined awayl''
The crowd and the hustle swayed on again.
The babies were safe ard had lost their fun;
And we who saw felt a secret pain,
Half envy of what the babies had done;
And said in our hearts, Alacki I If we tell
The truth and the whole TRUTH we must say,
We never get now good time
As we used to have when we runncd away"

VALUE OF CORS-CoRs,

Few farmers stop to consider, writes the edi-
tor of the CutiratOr, how much of fertilizing
matter is annually wasted about the farm, nor
the expense incurred in purchasing the same
materials in other forms. Thus in the appar-
emily insignificant matter of corn -cobs is an
item worth saving. If the accumulation of
corn-cobs were gathered up and thrown into
the hog pen, they would, by the next spring
be reduced to manure. 1t has been estimated
in the corn-cobs grown in this country last year
were upwards of two hundred thousand pounds
of potash.

SONGS OF THE CAMP.
Sherman's March to the Sea.

Our camp-fires shown bright on the mountain
That frowned on the river below,
As we stood by our guns in the morning,
And eagerly watched for the foe;
When rider came out of the darkness
That hung over mountain and tree.
And shouted, Boys, up and be readyl
For Sherman will march to the seal"
Chorus
Then sang song of our chieftain,
That echoed DER river and lea;
And the stars of our banner shown brighter
When Sherman marched down to the sea
Then cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman
Went up from each valley and glen,
And the bugles re-echoed the music
That came from the lips of the men;
For we knew that the stars in our banneY
More bright in their splendor would be-
And that blessings from Northland would greet us
When Sherman marched down to the sea-
Then sang We song, etas
Thon forward boys forward to battlel
We marched on our wearisome way,
We stormed the wild hills of Resaoa-
God bless those who fell on that dayl
Then Kenesaw frowned in its glory,
Frowned down on the flag of the free;
But the East and the West bore our standard,
And Sherman marched on to the sea!
Then sang we n song, etc.
Still onward we pressed till our banners
Swept out from Atlanta's grim walls,
And the blood of the patriot dampened
The soil where the traitor-fag falls;
But we paused not to weep for the fallen,
Who slept by each river and tree,
Yet we twined them a wreath of the laurel,
As Sherman marched down to the sea!
Then sang song, ct
Oh proud was our army that morning,
That stood where the pine darkly towers,
When Sherman said Boys, you are weary,
But to-day fair Savannah is oursI"
Then sang we the song of our chieftain,
That echoed over river and lea,
And tho stars In our banner shown brighter

NOTES AND EXTRACTS.
Digest of Information Collected From Various
Sources,

Tho American C1dtiuat0r sGys that above all
things else it is necessary that there be gem
eral understanding that large crops are always
proportionatclv moro profitable than small
crops; that within certain limits given
amount Of products can be grown more chcaply
on five acres than on ten. When this fact is
properly appreciated the popular craze to Sc
cure more land will be abated and better cul-
ture of fewer acres will take the place of the
present system of halftillago over large acres.
TO QUIET HORSES.
Obstinate and vicious horses, by having their
attention removed from the object on which
their mind is bent, can be made much more
tractibe than they otherwise would be. Some
are very difficult to shoe, showing disposition
ITO bite and kick whenever the shoer touches
them. 4 few grains of tho ethereal oil Of
parsley dropped on a handkerchief and placed
before the nose of the horse, it is said, never
fails to quiet his irritable disposition, and
makes him, for the time being, perfectly man
ageable.
HOW TO GET EGGS.
The knzck of getting q supply Of eggs, sum-
mer and winter, is 10 keep the pulletS Of the
early spring and summer hatch Feed them
all they viii eat up clean of the best and most
nutricious and egg producing food. with such
simple condiments as pepper, ginger, or mus
tard, to stimulate them. XIII OF the hens be-
fore they mouIt in their second year, and keep
none but young hens. Of course, under this
system of forcing for egg production and flesh,
there is no valid objection as it is not intended
that their eggs should be Set.-Ex.
TREE PLANTING.
Mr.. John Bryant, of EIkhorn, Nebraska,
says there is no better crop than trees. In
1860 he sowed pound of locust seed; in 10
years, and ever since, he has been selling posts
and wood; when the trees are cnt down they
are reproduced. WalnUtS of his own planting
already yield a profit. He has sold 1900 posts
at IS cents each. lie reports that since the
prairie fires have ceased burr oaks spring up
spontaneously on the bluffs. The success with
the locust on this farm, and their escape from
the borers, are attributed to the presence Of
great numbers of the red-headed woodpecker.
REARING COLTS.
The essentials for a well broken colt are a
good mouth, good carriage and good manners.
None of these can be made in a hurry, requiring
time patience, and good hands. You will get
vicious. stubborn. excitabc, and nervous colts.
all requiring somewhat different treatment to
properly break them. To do it well requires
experience. If you send them to the breaker,
beware of the man who cannot control his tenn
per, or he will ruin your high-couraged colt
