THE FATE OF FLoYD.-The fate that has
already overtaken this traitor should be a
warming to mankind forever. While acting as
a Cabinet Minister under an oath to support
the Constitution and Government of his coun-
try, he was plundering theOne and plotting the
destruction of the other. Compelled to fee
from the Capitol Of the nation, he accepted a
generalship in the rebel ranks under Davis.
A coward as well as a thief and traitor, his
pseudo Commander .in-Chief has relieved him OF
his command until he can find time to try him
for cowardice. He may escape being shot by
jeff. Davis, but only to be hung by the Gov
ernment, of which he was once a high and
honored officer.

YELLOW BUTTER IN WINTER Seeing an

very simple. Our butter cannot be distin-
guished from fall butter. Of couse the first
requisite is that the cows have good. whole.

is brought in, we have ready kettle with
hot water. when we set it on. fuN When
it is nearly hot, not scalding. we pour it in
with another cold one, which will make i,
all warm enough. then divide the milk into
pans. leaving them about two-thirds full

oAT LAND.


Have the land which is intended to be
seeded diwn in oats. ploughed as early as
the weather will permit.


STORE HOGS


Feed these regularly three times day
furnishing them at each meal with sufficient
food to keep them in good healthy condi.

a supply of charcoal, rotten wood, and ash.
esin their pens as aids to digestion. Let
their sleeping apartments be kept warm with
dry straw or leaves, and the feeding pen

Mich COWS require special attention dur

double the supply of roots, cut fine Is they
are to be had. and vary the coarse fodder
with the best quality of hay.


IN CALF COWS AND HE1FERs.
Let these be fed three times daily with
good hay, and when the COWS are within
three weeks of calving time. improve the
qaality of their food by adding to the cut
hay good sprinkling of corn meal or ship
stuff. Moisten the whole with water and

RICH WITHOUT MONEY. Many man is
rich without money. Thousands of men
with nothing in the pocket and thousands
without even pocket are rich. A man
born with good sound constitution, good
stomach. good heart and good limbs, and
a pretty good head piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold, tough muscles.
than silver, and nerves that fash fire and
carry energy to every function. are better
than houses and land.


It is better than landed estate to have
the right kind Of father and mother. Good
breeds exist among men as really as they do
among herd and horses. Education may
do much to check evil tendencies, or to de-
velop good ones; bat it is great thing to
inherit the right proportion Of faculties to
start with.


That man is rich who has good disposi-
tion-who is naturally kind, patient, cheer
full, hopeful, and who has favor of wit and
fun in his composition. The hardest thing
to get along with in this life is mans own
SELF A cross, selfish fellow, desponding
and complaining fellow-a timid care-bur-
dened man-these have all been deformed
on the inside Their feet may not limp,
but their thoughts do.

FACTS IN BR1EF.-Outof every thousand
men, twenty of them die annually.


The number of inhabitants of a city or
county is renewed every thirty years.


The.number of old men who die in cold
weather as to the number of those who die
in warm, is seven to four.


The proportion between deaths of women
and those of men is one hundred to one hun
dred and eight.


One-half of those who are born die before
they attain the age of seven.


Among 1926 who die, it appears by the
registers that there is only one person of
100 years of age.


More old men are found in elevated situa-
tons than in valleys and plains.

Amid the excitement Of putting down
thc rebellion, the people do not stop to
consider the importance Of the great na
tiond measures passed OF about to be pass
ed by the present Congress. The abolition
of slavery in the District Of Columbia viii
be ever memorable upon the pages of his
cory. The Homestead Bill, measure that
will attract an immense population from
Europe and the old States to the Mississippi
Valley: and increase the wealth and power
Of the nation far beyond the most sanguine
expectations, awaits only The signature Of
the President 10 become a Law. This it
will most assuredly receive. The House
has passed the Pacific Railroad Bill, and
the Senate will unquestionably pass it as
soon as it can be reached. This is not only
s great national enterprise, but it embraces
Interests worldwide in their influence


From what examination we hare been able
10 give. we believe the road can and will,
within the next twelve years, be built un-
der the provisions of the bill. These three
neasurcs alone will secure tor thc Repub-
lcan party the respect and the gratitude Of
the civilized world for al time to come.

A correspondent Of the Picayune
suggests to cotton planters to divert
a portion Of their force to getting out
hoop.poles for the use Of the sugar
planters. They have been entirely
dependent on the Western States for
this supply which is now mostly cut
off: The estimated value of the
hoop-pole trade, this correspondent
says, cannot be less than S5OO,OOO.
This amount invested in sugar and
molasses, at its present low price,
would afford relief to a very great
number of individuals who are now
harrassed with a prospect of a scant
supply of the necessaries of life.


The sugar planters prefer small
hickory for hoops for their hogsheads
and barrels. This is the season for
cutting hoop-poles, as ell cut after
the last of February would be worth
less.

LIVING WITHIN MEANS.-.There is n
dreadful ambition for living "genteel."
We keep up appearances too often at the
expense of honesty and though we may
not be rich. yet we must seem to be "re-
spectacle" though only in the mcanest
sense-in mere vulgar outward show
We have not the courage to go patiently
onward in the condition of life in which
it has pleased Gou to call us; but must
needs live in some fashionable state to
which ridiculously we please to call our
selves, and all to CRAFTY the vanity of that
unsubstantial gentecl world of which we
form part. There is constant press.
ure and struggle for front seats in the so
cial amphitheatre in the midst of which,
all noble and self-sacriticing resolve is
trodden down, and many fine natures are
invOluntarily crushed to death. What
waste, what misery, what bankruptcy,
come from all this ambition to dazzle 9th
ers with the glare of apparent worldly
success, we need not describe. The mis-
chieyous results show themselves in a
thousand ways-in the rank frauds com.
mittrd by men who dare to be dishonest,
but who do not dare to be seen poor !;
and in the desperate dashes at fortune, in
which the pity is not so much for those
who fail, as for the hundreds of innocent
families who are SO often involved in their
ruin.

BAD LUcK.-Bad luck is represented,
by modern paragraphist, as "a man
with his hands in his pocket" A more
apt definition could not be given, as it COM
prises whole moral essay in eight words.
The unlucky individual is he who allows
every disappointment TO become lion in
his path, frightening him back to his
starting point, and keeping him there


Or he may be a good for nothing, lazy
fellow, without sufficient energy to start
at all. That fortunate persons sometimes
stumble upon fortunes, we are willing TO
admit; but said persons very seldom find
such fortunes unless they are looking for
them. Again, sickness and kindred ills
may reduce man to misery is then
unfortunate, not unluckv. The two terms
have widely different Specifications one
result is unavoidable; the other is direct
antithesiS. We believe that a young
American can reach any point of emf
nence, either financial or political, if he
has gooG b A,aAs irrcp, oachable character,
and no bad habits. The chair of the
President is not too high for him, and the
wealth of a millionaire is not beyond his
reach. But there must be no wavering
about him "he must be like an eagle,
that rises from the plain, to soar to the
summit of n lofty mountain. Dark clouds
may lower on his aerial path, storms may
thunder DER his head, but with undimin-
ished fire he darts ahead-to find those
angry clouds mere volumes of impalpable
smoke and tempests, harmless showers of
refreshing dew. Such youth will fight
himself to fame and fortune on his native
soil. He allows no mad bull of disap-
pointment to chase him to the western
fence, or the southern gate; but he stands
boldly in his tracks as dangers approach,
and by opposing ends them"

~The Cincinnati Times was sup
pressed one day last week. for an ar,i-
Gle against the administration, but was
permitted TO resume publication after
one days suspension. We think it bad
policy to put paper under ban, which
has been loyal from the beginning. for
The expression Of an opinion. even il
that opinion bears down heavily upon
the administration, when we see that
at the end Of l8 months the war poll

Surely just censure. and even severe
criticism may be excused under circum-
stances SO peculiar and danger so i'm
minent. The Times has always been
loyal. and though very 'crotchety.' and
often making blunders. it has done good
service in the cause of the country, and
