Murfreesboro News: 1t is truly
horrifying to pick up the newspa
pers of to-day, and see the accounts
of murders, rapes, robberies, &c,
which appear therein. The country
is in a bad state of morals. The
pistol has become too handy, and
human life seems to.be of no more
consequence than dogs The de
lays in the courts have caused
Judge Lynch to become a formida-
bic agent of revenge, but even his
iron hand does not stop the reign of
blood. Undoubtedly America is the
wickedest nation in the world.

General Terry says that those
Indians who have been placed upon
farms and given cows to tend are per-
fectly wrapped up in their oceupa

on the war path. Naturally. The
man who has three or four cows to
keep track of has all he wants to do
without going scalp-hunting; and
besides, after an experience in cir
cumventing the cussedness of COW,
Indian fighting must be mighty
tame and uninteresting business.

Straw in Place OF Hay.

Col. F. ID. Curtis has been expert
menting in feeding farm animals upon
straw in place of more costly hay, and
finds profit in it, provided suitable
amount of grain be given with the straw.
Last winter he found himself short of
hay but with plenty of straw, and he
gives in the New York Tribune his ex-
perience in substituting the cheaper for
the dearer fodder. The straw was fed
chiefly in col weather, as the animals
had a better appetite then than after the
weather became warm in spring. A
horse ate eighty-four cents worth OF meal
and sixty cents worth of straw in seven
days, that would have eaten two dollars
worth of hay in the same time, if hay
alone had been his food, thus making a
saving of more than one-fourth. Mich
cows, working oxen and young cattle all
did well with straw and corn fodder as
part OF their ration. The butter made
was of excellent quality and the milk
yield highly satisfactory. He found that
bright straw for horses driven on the
road is superior to hay, as they will not
80 readily over-fill themselves as with
hay. Plenty of grain must be given
with straw to animals at hard work. He
believes that farmers can afford to sell
portion of their hay, and then purchase
grain to feed with their straw and make
profit by the exchange 1t is no new
thing to feed straw in winter to farm
animals, but it was not till such exper-
imenters as Professor Sanborn and the
agricultural chemists showed the philos-
ophy of the practice, that farmers have
felt free to adopt it as sound policy

Athletic Games for German Boys.

German boys are to be taught to play
games. The Prussian Minister of Edu-
cation has determined it, and it will be
done. Herr Won Gossler's circular on
the subject, just published at full length
by the Cologne Gazette, is a very, able
and remarkable document. For some
time German public opinion has been
much exercised about the physical con-
dition of the boys in the higher schools
of the country. They were excellent
scholars, but rather poor specimens of
boys-listless, inactive, unenterprising,
often appallingly shor.-sighted, the raw
material of professors perhaps, but not
of soldiers and men of the world. Ger.
mans have swaked to the necessity of
better physical training, and, true to
their character, they are setting about
it in their own thorough and methodical
fashion, with Minister leading the van
and the whole admirably drilled bureau
cracy in column at his heels. There
can be little doubt that the action of the
Government, prompted as it is by a gen.
.ral widespread public feeling, will re-
suit in a remarkable change in the
character of German education. To in
door-drilling and gymnastics, already
pretty universal, outdoor exercises,
especially games requiring skill and
agility, are to be added. Spontaneity is
no longer to be sacrificed to discipline.
If ever German boys learn to play cricket
and football-both, by the way, recon-
mended by the Minister--or any equiva-
lent games, English schools will have to
look to it. English education is at
present as far ahead of German in the
training of the body as German is ahead
of English in the training of the mind,

In the Village of Pedur, in India,

afternoon, and fiocked early the next

the branches now far above their heads.
They ran to their parents with the story
that date tree which they saw on tho
previous day lying upon the ground was
now standing. Observation disclosed
that the tree changed its position every
morning and evening. The tree is
eleven feet high, not including the leaves
and stems. One who has seen it writes:
"At $50 the tree was almost lying to-
ward the west. The foot of the tree was
at an angle of five to seven degrees with
the ground, and we were given to under
stand that it had already commenced to
rise from four o'clock. A handkerchief
which had been tied by the District Mum
stiff to one of the leaves, so that its other
end might just touch the ground, had
risen six inches. At s p. m. the kerchief
was eighteen inches from the ground,
