Cultivation Of Corn.

The Rural Ne,o Yorker, in reply to
a correspondent in regard to the cul-
tivation of corn, says; at seems to
us that any one who will study the
physiology of the corn plant and fol
low its feeding roots as they I'LL every
inch of soil, must be satisfied that no
more detrimental thing can be done
than to go in with plows and in a
wholesale way break up this system of
root growth.
Any one who will use the deep
working plows, up to the time the
corn is from eight to twelve inches
tall, and after that time only use those
cultivators that work not more than
two inches deep, will, in one season,
particularly if season of much
drought, be convinced by the rank
growing of his corn, unchecked by
the hottest weather, and its yield at
harvest time, that our advice in regard
tothe use of the plows was strictly cor
rect and safe to follow in the West or
anywhere else.

North Pole EXPLORATIONS.

Lieut.. Danenhower, o. S. N, who was with
DeLong, has prepared long paper on the
subject OF the polar question, which is to be
read before and discussed by the members OF
the United States Naval Institute in Annapolis
in October Lieut.. Eisenhower has taken
great pains with his paper, and the principal
point in il is lis strong final conclusion against
any fur her Arctic expeditions He says:
"Afcr having served with one Arctic expedi-
ton, and having devoted seven years to the
study oil the subject, rs well as to the watchul
observation Of Tie numerous efforts and the
comparatively insignificant re ulis attcn ling
srcrIcc of Lumun lie and t"easure, unhcei-
tmngly record myself opposed to further
exploration OF the GENITAL polar basin with our
present resources. The gr'dual exit nsion of
observatory stations in the interests of meteor
ologv, magnetism and other scientific branches
should be made, but national support should
not be given to another polar expedition.
The above view is Numerically opposed to
that Of Lieut.. Greedy and o her explorers, and
the discussion it will awaken will prove
highly interesting. 1t is probable that mos,
naval officers will coincide with Lieut.. Dancn

General Grant In wisconsin.

Soon after General Grant became a
clerk in his fathers store in Galena, In
1859, he was sent to Prairie du Chen to
look after a stock of goods which had
largely been sold on credit. They were
kept in the large and antiquated stone
building for 50 many years occupied by
7. Famechon. II seems that Grants
customer at the Prairie had given Il
fraudulent bill of sale for the goods to Il
third party for the purpose of defrauding
the Grants; and when the general ar
rived in the town to investigate the mat
ter, he took counsel of the Hon. o. B.
Thomas, who was elected to Congress
last fall, and after examining the records
IN the town clerks office, Thomas was
convinced that the sale was fraudulent
one, and had writ of replevin issued at
once to get possession of the goods,
The sheriff was not in town that day,
and the writ was given to his deputy,
"Boss" Brunson, grandson of the ven
cradle Alfred Brunson, ID. ID. 'RossN
was a daring, burly young fellow by ma
ture, but his daring failed him in this case,
Mr.. Thomas Grant and Brunson, armed
with the writ of replevin, walked down
to the building containing the goods, anil
found the door locked, the pretended
owner had heard that one Of the Grants
was in town, and supposlng he would
attempt to seize the stock, he planted
himself inside, bolted the door, aud
armed himself with shot gun, When
the party reached the building they were
refused admiitance, OF course, with a
threat from the man inside that ii they
entered some one would be killed. This
threat rather staggered Boss" who
meant what he said. Mr.. Thomas tried
to convince the young deputy that it
was his duty to enter the store even at
the expense of breaking down the door,
but "Boss" could not see it in that
light.
Grant had watched the procee ling>
thus far quietly, without saying a word,
but becoming impatient, he said to
"Boss," "Mr. Deputy, ii you are afraid
to 60 into the building yourself, why
don't you deputize some one else to e
in for you9" "Well," answered "Boss,
sharply, who felt kcenly touched TO have
his courage doubted, Il will deputlzt
you" Grant was quite stout in those
days, and obeying the command of the
officer, he stepped back from the store
door some ten or twelve feet, and com
ing up to it with rush, he planted hi
right foot near the lock, and the dooI
opened with crash. Grant entered il
an instant, seized the man who had thu
gun, and ordered him to 60 to work tt
help take down and box the goods. and
In a short time they were removed Il
Galena. This is ali there is about Genera
Grant doing business in Wisconsin.

Are those disorders which, beginning with an
apparently trivial inactivity Of the kidneys
or bladder, terminates in Brights disease, dia-
bees and cy-tis The first two not only in
tcrrupt the functions Of the renal organs, but
destroy their structure with as much certainty
as tubercular consumption does that OF the

these organs without, over exciting them, thus
avertng the deadly maladies in which their
inaction is so prone to culmiuate. The re

sold to Hugh Brooks. The portrait of
Maxwell published in Washington paper
exactly resembles Brooks Hugh was about

and square chin, with supercilous air and

certain that Hugh was short of funds. Letters
