Boston TO Washington.
To the Readers ofMe Herald

To the Readers ofthe Herald:
Last Saturday afternoon the Ray
mond excursion from Boston and vi
cinity arrived. We left Boston the
previous afternoon, encountered a
snow storm at Fall River, where we
also witnessed the burning Of a build
ing reported to be the city hall. The
night on the Sound passed with no.
thing more serious than several
flashes of lightning, not quoting to
nervous people. Morning found
the decks crowded to see the Brook
Ign bridge which well repaid the
facing of mist and cold winds. The
ride by special train to Washington
was enlivened by an hours rest in
Philadelphia at noon. From the
Baltimore and Ohio depot in Wash
ington we separated to hotels, the
Arlington, Willard, and Ebbitt; each
possessing its own characteristics.
The first is situated near the White
House, somewhat retired, the quar-
ters of the Spanish minister, and
designated as "select." The Willard

The Edmunds Resolutions,


A vote was reached last Friday
evening in the Senate upon the Ed
munds resolutions respecting the
declination of the President to fur
nish papers in his possession relative
to removals from Office. The ma
jority report of the judiciary com
mittee was adopted by a strict par,
ty vote. Mr.. Edmunds i'll closing
the debate said that there was very
little left for him to say. The Presl-
dent had no mission except to exc
cute the laws. Coming to the ques-
ton Immediately before the Senate,
Mr.. Edmunds said it was simply
whether the two houses Of Congress
had right to see the papers affect
ing the business of the government.
What the Senate asked was not mo-
tlves or reasons, but official facts
concerning the state of the public
service. For 100 years these papers
had been given to Congress.
The first resolution was that the
majority report be agreed to-yeas
80, nays 2G.
The second resolution, as follows,
was adopted by the same vote:
ResolCcd, That the Senate hereby
expresses its condemnation of the
refusal of the Acknowledgement, I'M
der whatever influence, to send to
the Senate copies Of papers called
for by its resolution of the 25th Of
January, and set forth in the report
of the committee on the Judiciary
as in violation of his official duty
subversiye of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the government and Of a
good administration thereof.
The third resolution was adopted
by vote Of 80 to 80, three Repub,
leans voting with the Democrats.
1t reads:
RoSoyUed, That it is, under these
circumstances, the duty of the Sen.
ate to refuse its advice and consent
to proposed removals Of officers the
documents and papers in reference
to the supposed official or persona
misconduct of whom are withheld
by the Executive or any head of g
department when deemed necessary
by the Senate and called for in con
sidering the matter.
The Fourth resolution, condemn
ing the discharge of ex-Union sol
diers and the putting in their places
of men who had rendered no mill
tary service for the Government
was then voted on and agreed to-
yeas Sc, nay 1-(Mr. Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan offered a resolution
declaring that nothing in the resolu
tons already adopted was to be con
strued as declaring that the conduct
of the Attorney General rendered
him liable to impeachment, and that
the Senate disclaimed the right Oh
power to punish him by imprison
ment or otherwise other than by i'm
parchment for offence charged
against him in the resolutions.
On Mr.. aEdmunds' motion this
resolution was laid on the table

In every act of life we find the
proofs of Gods wisdom overruling
the plans of man, and shaping the
destinies Of states and nations for
the advancement and happiness OF
the human family.
Without the recognition of His
goodness and power in all our en-
deavors, the lives of men and the
continuance of governments would
prove abortive of all good.
1t is fitting, therefore, that the
people Of this Christian State, III
humble acknowledgement Of the well
known laws Of God in His dealings
with His children, should at all
times, and under all circumstances,
and especially at this season of the
year, to accord with the usages of
New England which have established
and made hallowed an Annual Fast,
turn aside from their ordinary duties
and pleasures, aud in due humility,
confess their dependence upon His
strength and mercy for the blessings
He has 50 beautifully vouchsafed.

4 Terrible Array of Sudden Deaths
Among the Most Prominent

This has been marvellous year for sud

is enormous aud includes such names as
Mcclellan, Vanderbilt and Hancock,
But think for moment of the ones who
die daily in IN equally sudden manner
and OF whom we never hear! What does
it mcang That something is undermin-

What is il? no one certainly knows;
probably combination of causes. From
all Tint can be learned 4 lack OF albumen
in the body causes a sapping Of the vital
forces and a quick breaking down results.
How does this lack of albumen cOms

worry, loss OF sleep, dissipation. Il severe
climate, bad water, injurious football
these things work against the lie and
CauSe sickness and death People must
provide against these things and keep the
body fortified. How? Many ways may
be and have hecn tried, but unquestion-
ably the best manner In which to
strengthen the hody: foniiy the nerves;
in.'rease albumen aud develop the health
is by the use of lioptonic. This prepara-
ton contains nept0niZed beef. malt and
hops, and thus furnishes an absolute

than the celebrated chemist, Prof. Rose,
while physicians recognize its great value
and are using it in their practice, There

and 1t is either citing tNem or preventing
the coming on of disease. When any
man. woman or child feels nervous or

THE Dairy.

An English dairyman says he keeps
a kicking cow quiet at milking time by
simply "placing just over her lions a
cloth wet with cold water"
The dairy farmer must determine for
himself whether making butter and
cheese, or selling his milk, is the most
profitable, by his location to market,
and by kind Of COWS kept in his dairy.
Professor H. Munk, worker of some
eminence in agricultural chemistry,
says that moderate muscular exercise
on the part of COWS increases the yield
of milk, but that violent motion binders
the process of milk secretion.

Manure in Winter.

The making and saving of manure
are among the most important labors on
the farm in winter. The value this pro-
duct depends upon the character of the
food given to the animals, the kind,
age and care of the stock, and the atten-
ton that it receives after it is dropped.
Manure from the stables may be put in
square, compact piles, which will retain
sufficient heat to keep out the frost and
rot rapidly.

Golden Heart Celery.

L was greatly surprised at the first pre-
nium celery. The great size of the
heads, the thickness and frmness of the

Gne.grained, brittle and of delicious

overheard three German women talking
sbout the celery that one of them had
delivered to customer that morning.
She said that he had placed it in his

much attention, for its fine quality, great

Work to q Plan.

Every dairyman and farmer should
have some definite plan to work to. For
instance, he should try tog grow 70 to 81
bu corn per acre, and he should not be
satisfied with less than 60 blu Of oats,
nor less than 81 tons of hay per acre,
and can frequently be obtained. The
pasture can be made to support one COW
per acre with full feed, and little fod.
der corn in its season. If our land will
not produce thus, something is wrong,
aud it is more likely to be with the
farmer than the farm. and my advice is
to begin asking ourselves what is the
matter? Is our land impoverished by
continued selling of hay and grain? II
so, stop it, and secure cows or other
stock enough to consume all the grass,
hay. and grain produced, and mill feed
equal to the grain produced on the
farm.

seminates itself through the water, the
COW that yielded that milk is not with
calf. but if it sinks to the bottom Of the
glass as it falls upon the water, and
does not produce but little Of a milky
cloud, the COW is pregnant. The spe

minous milk being heavier than water,
thus retains the drop Of milk and causes
it to sink. We advise dairymen to

Why Seeds Fail-Keeping Them.

w ny S00OS Z alA -1ASSPAA8 ASAA'
Or. Thurber gives in the American
Agricultural some good suggestions
about keeping seeds, from which we ex-
tract:
"The proper keeping of seeds, has
much to do with thier termination
While there are many seeds of perenni
ais, that should be sown as soon as ripe,
it is different with ANIMALS and biennials
The carrot, parsnip and most other gar
den vegetables, are in an unnatural con-
dition. Cultivation has caused these t.,
produce roots many times larger, and
much more succulent than in their wild
state. The seeds Of these, when self
sown as soon as ripe, produce degener
ate plants, which have reverted to the
natural state, and are NO longer useful.
In the experiments Of Prof. Buchanan,
and M. Vilmorin, on the improvement
of the carrot. radlsh, etc, from the de-
generate forms, known as weeds, it was
found that keeping the reeds dry during
the winter, and sowing them in spring,
was an important agent in restoring
these plants to their useful condition.
Rest, suspended growth for time, has
an important influence in keeping such
plants in the artificial condition produc
ed by cultivation. The manner in
which seeds are kept during the winter,
has much to do with their value at SOW.
ing time. Weshould keep in mind the
fact, that seeds are not q collection of
fragments of vegetable matter, like lot
Of shoe pegs. They really contain liv-
ing plants-living, but in state of sus-
pended acknowledgements.
''Seeds kept in closely stopped bottles
often fail. The ordinary method of
keeping them in paper bags, for small
quantities, and in sacks of coarse fabric
for large ones, is found to be the best,
as it secures dryness, and does not en-
tirely exclude the air. The exposure
to high temperature for long time,
Or very low one, is injurious. The
most suitable temperature is just above
the freezing point, or about forty de-
grees. An inner closet, or room, which
is not heated, will be better than warm
dwelling room, or kitchen. The num-
her of years that seeds contain their
terminating power, varies greatly. Pars-
nip seed will not usually grow after the
first year, while seeds of cucumber and
others of that family, are good for ten
years and more. With the exception of
parsnip, all other ordinary vegetable
seeds, if we'll kept, are good at the end
Of two or three years"

it twice day. Cold water for drink
will greatly reduce the quantity OF

many readers. Prepare q hen house,
