A German doctor in PHILADELPHIA says

A German doctor in Philadelphia says
that nearly all the diseases among the
Germans in this country are caused by
drinking beer. There is nothing of that
kind in Germany, where the beer is pure
and kept for one year after it is made.
Here it is not only adulterated, but is
"jerked OUT to tipplers when it is only a
month old. It is asserted that the picric
acid, which is used to give the beer a
pungent taste is very injurious TO the
kidneys and other organs,

net, too gay and small for her, has Just
come from Boston, q gift from her seldom
seen uncle, who now and then thrusts
town gaud upon this neglected country
relative. Many an aged country-reared
person knows what that journey was to
Sally; how grand and mysterious the
town seemed to her, with its many streets,
its crowds OF people, its various wares, and
its many lights how, impressed and op.
pressed by it, she grew self-conscious and
lonely, and wished herself home again.
Her uncle's house was an enchanted pal
ace to her, and she dazed girl in it. 1t
was revealed TO her that what pertained
to herself and to her father was not in
keeping with her surroundings. They
were plainly dressed, homespun country
people, well clad alongside the deep greens
aud russell browns of their farm, but ill
asserting with gay town fashions. She
saw and took in much. Her keen senses
and bright mind were quickened to
wider scope by this somewhat unpalatable
taste of strange living. The day of her
departure was relief to her. She went
back as she came, except that she was
lightly laden with simple purchases. She
was as warmly welcomed as if she had
come from foreign land. The trinkets
she had bought were as marvellous to her
mother and the other children as they
would have been to her once. She some
what pitied their ignorance, but kept her
own counsel. She was wiser than before
she went, but not quite SO happy. A glory
had gone out of her home which could
never come back. She made a better
teacher for having been to Boston, because
she had more weight with her scholars.
But the sweetest relish of her rural home
had died out for her. In later years it
came again, as delightful memory. She
would then have given half she possessed
to have been starting once more from the
old farmhouse, a simple-hearted girl in
calico by the side of her homespun father,
with the dear mother watching her from
the doorway"

The New Hampshire Mirror and Farmer
says Senator Blair, who works year in
and year out sixteen hours a day, and
shows no signs of WEAKNESS, sends copy
of his bill to make eight hours a days
work for all mechanics, laborers and other
working-men in the government employ,
with some arguments in its support which
are, of course, shrewdly and strongly put !;
nevertheless we don't like the bill, not
half as well as we do its author. To
begin with, the men are very few who
can do days work in eight hours, and
those few are not in the government serv-
ice." Our contemporary strangely for
gets the clerks in the departments when
it makes this statement. They can do
"day's work" in about six hours.
Would it be any great hardship to average
them with the workmen in the Washing.
ton hayward or the government printing

eight hours day. But oh, no These

A MAINE exchange says: I" Mr.. Free
man Hayden, and sons, who live on fine
farm just out of the village of Presque
Isle, raised this past season 1854 bushels
of potatoes on twenty-five acres of land,
and at cost delivered to the starch fac
tory of six to eight cents per bushel for
the labor required. Their farm is COM
psratively old one, having been taken up
some forty years ago. Columbus Hay
ford of the same town had ten acres of
burnt land in potatoes. After the crop
had been harvested and taken to the fac.
tory, he found the crop had cancelled the
entire cost of growing and harvesting and
of taking the land from the forest to its
present condition, and he had one hundred
dollars remaining as net profits from the
operation"

ONE of the great curses of every pro-
fession is ignorance. Everywhere men
are engaged in business of which they
are comparatively ignorant. This is the
keynote to three-fourths of the business
failures. 1t is the case in every profess
sion, farming not excepted. Perhaps this
will make some farmer mad-if it does,
he will be quite likely to sputter around
over it till he learns few things and will
be benefited thereby. 1t is mighty good
thing to get one mad sometimes. 1t
brightens up his ideas. Who will get
mad first 2-Pennsylvania Farmer.

ton, in which they would be backed by
the whole farming community. When
the order of patrons was first established
in this state (which we were the first to
propose both in Vermont and New Eng
land, and the only agricultural editor, for
more than two years, to favor and sup
port), we had strong hopes that the trans
portation question would form a chief
subject of consideration as soon as the
order was we'll established. In this we
have been totally disappointed. So far as
we are aware, nothing in that direction
has ever been proposed in the state grange,
without being vigorously sat upon /" by
leading members, who were believed
(justly or unjustly) to be where they were
for that very purpose-to look out for the
interests of the railroads, and especially
of one railroad. However this may be,
certain it is that the state grange as an
organizati has not only not lived up to its
lights and its opportunities, but, as far as
any practical purpose in this connection is
concerned, it has not lived st all. 1t has
ignored one Of the fundamental purposes
of the order, totally and wholly, and still
continues to do 80. In saying this we
are not arraigning any one individual, or
set of individuals, because we have no idea
who is to blame. If we had, we would
name them pretty quick. But perhaps it
is Just as we'll that we don't know. What
we do know is that, after ten years, moth
ing has been done, and nothing attempted.
Freight rates on many things between
Vermont and its markets have been and
are, especially in small lots, exorbitsnt
and often prohibitory, being equal or
nearly equal to the total market value of
the product. This discrimination is made
in the interest partly of dealers, but
chiefly, we believe, for the benefit of ex-
press companies in which the managers of
the roads are interested as stockholders
and otherwise. If the state grange would
take hold of the matter in earnest, with
the determination to 60 to the legislature
with it if their reasonable demands were
not needed, there would be a mighty
change, and farmers could deal directly
with consumers in hundreds of instances
where it is now impossible.

The State Grange.

The state grange of Patrons of Hus-
bandry is an organization that might do
much for the members of the order and
for agricultural interests generally. 1t does
act as bond of union between the local
oranges, and means of inter-communica.
ton between the order in this and other
states, and with the national grange. 1t
ought to take vigorously hold of the sub.
ject of the transportation of farmers
products in the state, and the New Eng
land state oranges might all join with
great effect in stating the needs of agri
culture to the transportation companies,
enforcing them with strong arguments
and finally, in default of proper action

atures, and request suitable legisla

An AnecdOte OF General Sherman.

Many good anecdotes of Sherman were
current during the war. Some of them,
he once said, when they were brought to
his notice, had been told of every general
since Hannibal. Here is one of unques-
tionable authenticity, which shows his
sagacity in dealing with the population
Memphis, the people kept the churches,
schools, and places of business closed, so
that, save for the movements of the sol.
diers, the place looked like city of the
dead. He issued an order directing that
the stores and shops should be opened
during business hours, the schools resume
their courses, and the churches hold their
customary services. Among the people
who called at his headquarters TO protest
against this order, or to ask for explana-
tions, was the clergyman of an Episcopal
church, who said that the ritual OF his de-
nomination contained prayer for the
president which, under the circumstances,
embarrassed him. "Whom do you re-
gard as your president ?" asked Sherman,
bluntly. ave look upon Mr.. Davis as
our president" replied the minister.
Very well pray for jeff Davis if you
wish. He needs your prayers badly. 1t
will take great deal Of praying to save
him." "Then l will not be compelled to
pray for Mr.. Lincoln ?" "Oh, no. He's
a good man, and don't need your prayers.
You may pray for him if you feel like it,
but there's no compulsion," answered
Sherman, instantly divining that the
worthy clergyman wanted to pose as
martyr before his parishioners, and had
hoped that he would be ordered to use the
prayer for the president of the United
States. The next Sunday the prescribed
prayer was so modified by the preacher as
to leave out all mention of the President,
and to refer only to "all in authority

thus: 81 don't believe there has been

say that he has not spent cent Of money,

not been interviewed once by people who
claim to have influence, has not been
asked to make any pledges and has not
made single promise. am entirely

JOAN LAWRENCE of Orlando, Florida,
writes that her offer in THE WATCHMAN
to send seeds to our readers has been cop
led by several other papers-a pretty
cheeky performance, by the way,-and
that she has more calls than she can sup
ply at once, but she will soon obtain new
seeds which will be better, and will put in
few of the Royal Poncianna, a very
beautiful house plant" We are certainly
most grateful for her generous offer, as we
have no doubt our readers are. If more
send, don't forget to inclose few stamps
to pay the postage on the seeds.

SalIy's Visit to Boston.

How many readers will be carried back,
in imagination, to their childhood days,
by this picture from New England By
cones: SIN my grandfather's time, when
railroads had not permeated eastern New
England, a long journey was an epoch in
child's life; and that was called such
which was accomplished by several days,
of slow-paced travel. 1t was made sub
ject for private devotion and public
prayer. sour brother and sister about to
60 on a long journey became marked
people in the parish. Neighbors dropped
in of evenings to talk the matter over |;
and il was dreamed about and wrought
for many weeks beforehand. The finest
fabrics of the house were set aside and
shaped over for that child who was going
to Boston, or perhaps to some nearer
town; to whom most likely was given es.
pecial and lighter tasks, as one upon whom
the JUNCTION of travel had already fallen.
The night before the start was busy one
in the farmhouse. Many last stitches
were to be taken, and the bandbox or
small trunk to be packed by the careful
mother. The child's wardrobe, made for
the occasion, was mesger, but clean and
strong. 1t was the best the farm had to
give, and was fine to the wearer. can
see Farmer Brown starting off with his
daughter Sally, bound for Boston. He
was wellto-do farmer, homely, but
shrewd and honest, and had held high
places of town trust. How exactly he is
recalled His broad collar seems to cut
his ears with its sharp edges, and his stock
clasps his neck like wise. His blue
black homespun suit has been long made,
but well kept, and its snowy buttons are
of double gilt. Sally's frock is of store
calico, with white ruffle in the neck
The shawl she wears, of some printed pom
gee stuff, is family heirloom, which her
grandmother wore before her. Her bon
