CRUEL JOKE ON A YOUNG FARMER.

young farmer of Clintondale, Ulster
county, became deeply enamored of young
lady, stranger in the neighborhood, who
was temporarily stopping in the village,
and, after counting her assiduously for
some days, popped the all-important ques-
tion, received "yes for an answer, and in
sisted ON the marriage ceremony being per-
formed the following evening According
ly, II large number of friends were invited
and the couple We're made one by Justice
of the Peace of the neighborhood. Imme-
diately upon the conclusion of the cere-
mony the bride was surrounded by her gen
tlemen friends, all of whom insisted upon
kissing her, greatly to the dspleasure of the
jealous groom, whercupon she made her
escape to an adjoining room, and the bride
groom has not seen her since, or at least
has not been able to recognize her The
truth of the matter is that the bride was a
pretty boy, and when he left the room he
changed his garments and mingled with the
crowd and enjoyed the fun. The groom
will never get over the rather practical joke
which his friends played upon him. Elmi,a

A Come.Outer Clergyman.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has
somewhat startled the Christian world
by Withdrawing from the Congrega-
tional fellowship and announcing his
disbelief in some of the fundamental
tenets of the orthodox Christian faith.
He rejects the doctrine of the fall of
man and the depravity Of the human
race, while he has long been disbe-
lever in eternal punishment. At a
recent dinner at Delmonico's he
avowed himself follower of Herbert
Spencer, and said he was disciple OF
the theory of the survivor of the tittest
before Charles Darwin published his
famous work on the Descent of
Man." Mr.. Beecher went even fur
Their, and boldly declared that the best
part of theology was ethics, and that
good deal which passed for religion
was only imagination. These utter
ances of Mr.. Beecher have caused
much disquiet in the churches, but
there is very little prospect of his hav-
ing many followers and imitators
among the leading clergymen Of the
day.-From Demorests Monthly for
December.

From q Bill to q Law.

As rule bill does not become q
law without the approval of the Presi-
dent. AS soon as it has passed both
houses of Congress, the house last act
ing on it notifies the other house and
delivers it to the joint Committee OF
Enrolment, to be actually enrolled on
parchment. In this enrolment the bill
must be written solidly, without para
graphs, to leave no room for interpo-
lations. It is then delivered to the
Clerk of the House of Representatives,
to be signed by the Speaker. The
Clerk then brings it by the way of
message. from the House to the Senate,
to be signeb by the President of the
Senate. The Secretary of the Senate
returns it to the Committee of Enroll
meut, who present it to the President
of the United States. If he approves
it he signs it and deposits it among the
rolls in the Office of Secretary of State,
and notifies the house in which it Or
iginated of this fact; and that house
notifies the other. If the President
disapproves the bill, he returns it, with
his objections, to the house in which it
originated, which enters the objections
at large on it's journal, and proceeds to
reconsider it. If, after such reconsid-
GRAFTON, that house passes it again, by
two-thirds vote, it is sent to the other
house, together with the Presidents
objections, and, if approved by two
thirds of this house, it becomes law.
If any bill sent to the President is not
returned by him within ten days Sun
days excepted, after he received it, the
same becomes law, in like manner as
if he had signed it, unless Congress,
by it's adjournment prevents it's return,
in which case it is not law.-Inter

A Texas Apiary.

An Illinois correspondent of the
american Bee Journal, who was re-
sently in Texas, writes from Allen that
he visited the apiary of Judge Andrews
at that place, and nov there is another
green spot in his memory. He says:
Il did not journey in vain, for his apis
ry is a grand sight. he seems to be
personally acquainted With his bees in
each colony, and speaks Of his queens
as a good farmer does Of his cattle. he
has over 200 colonies OF pure Italians.

compete successfully with Lancashire
manufacturers in some classes of
goods, and ask no favors. No doubt
Lancashire will always enjoy an i'm
portant climatic advantage in the pro.
duction of finer grades of cloth, but
in the production of heavier and
coarser grades we might enjoy advan-
tages over Lancashire but for the I'M
speakable folly of protection. The
value of share in England's business
of manufacturing cotton goods for ex-
port will be appreciated from the
statement that English exports Of
such goods range in value from $780,.
100000 to $280,0OO,000 a year.
There is another reason to believe
that the more enlightened of American
cotton manufacturers are beginning te
see that the tariff does them far more
harm than good, by excluding them
almost wholly from foreign markets.
They are increasing their output out
of proportion to the growth of home
demand, and the need of an outlet is
becoming more apparent every year
They can not fail to perceive that they
are not likely to secure such an outlet
so long as the cost of building mater,
ais, machinery, and other things they
have to buy are artifcially enhanced
by protective duties. When they
come to apprehend this fully, we may
expect them to become staunch and
effective advocates of free trade. And
it is not unlikely that other manufac.
turers will join them in a free trade
movement for like reasons. New
England leading the free trade process
sion will be an interesting spectacle
but one not at all difficult to under
stand.

PUBLIC FREE SCHOOLS.
How n.ay Month. they should he Ran !. Texas.


Public schools SHOULD be mantained
each year as long as the people can
afford to send their children to them.
II the people can afford TO keep
their children nine months, then pro-
vision should be made to run the
school nine months. II the people
can only spare their children six
months out of the twelve, then pro-
visions should be made for the sup
port of the schools six months.
1t is folly to talk about keeping the
schools open for ten months when
the children from necessity are actually
employed on the farm or in other
labor at least six months each year.
A large majority of the people of
this country are poor, and nearly all
this majority are farmers, and abso-
lutely need the service of their chill
dren of school-going age to assist in
the farm and other domestic labor.
A few years of bountiful harvest
like this, which kind Providence
has vouchsafed, will place the people
in better condition and then the bless
ings of free education can be cores
pondingly extended.
A ten months school system in
Texas will cost not less than So, 000,-
600. The present available school
revenue is $1,105,000; in order. to
keep the schools open for ten months,
an additional revenue of $1,S95,O
would have to be raised by taxation.
The entire taxable value of the
state are estimated by the comptrol-
Ter to be,$3S0, 900, 900, or say 81,
900, 900, would require tax of five
mills on each dollars worth of prop
erty, or fifty cents on each one hun
bred dollars worth of property. The
present rate of state taxation is thir-
ty cents on the one hundred dollars.
1t is thus plainly to be seen that
in order to maintain a system of pub
lie schools for ten months in each
year, tax of twenty cents in excess
of the entire percentage levied by the
State would have to be assessed, thus
making the state tax eighty cents,
instead of thirty cents, on the one
hundred dollars.
Are the people prepared for such q
burden, even though it may be for
the noble purpose of education? Do
they want it? Would they, could
they send their children to school,
even though the doors Of ten thou
sand school-houses stood ajar for ten
long months, and the children invited
to enter without money and without
price?
For convenience and from custom,
we refer to public schools as free
schools; such, however, is a mimo-
mer; they are not in true sense free.
The people, after all, foot, in this
case as in all matters of state, the
bills of cost.
The Journal again repeats that
when the people are prepared to ac-
cept and enjoy the benefits of ten
months schooling, then by all means.
such system should be established
and maintained as ameasure of policy
of the highest public interest. -1e"as

Sheep.
Philadelphia Farm and Garden.
Ocean.

Despite the constant attention which
is called to the value of sheep, not on
ly as imp overs of the land, but as prof
table farm animals, for wool and NUT
ton. there are many farmers who have
never raised or kept single sheep,
though their farms are adapted to rails
ing sheep largely and proftably. Why
this is, we can not imagine, for facts
and figures can be had by the score to
prove the proftableness of sheep
breeding, if necessary, and about the
OILY drawback in many localities, is
the loss occasioned by dogs. Many a
rough, WORKOUT or neglected farm
might be brought up rapidly, and be
made paying land by breeding sheep
thereon, as the manure from the sheep
is one of the most enriching manures,
and is evenly and finely distributed.
Of course they may not do this without
being fed something besides what they
can get in the fields, yet this additional
food works to the profit of the breeder
in two ways-it not only insures good
and profitable growth of flesh and wool,
but it makes the manure richer and
more valuable. Every poor farmer can
give sheep a trial, by commencing In a
small way and then, as means and ex-
perience are gained, the focks can BIZ
gradually increased by purchases,
though the natural increase from a
small flock of sheep is by no means in,
considerable, if properly managed and
cared for as they should be. Like any
other kind of stock, they must have
good care and food to secure the great
est measure of profit.
