How TO FEED FOR PRorlr.-One Of
our exchanges says: We have in mind
an observing farmer living in central
New York, who carefully weighed every
animal he was fattening every week. Te
a nnc steer he gave daily four quarts Of
barley meal. and he found the increase
in its weight to be ten pounds per week.
lie then tried the experiment Of giving
eight quarts per day, and he found that
the weekly increase OF weight was less
than vixen four quarts were gives.
Twelve quarts were now given daily. and
ut the end Of the week there was no gain
OF flesh. These facts teach all persons
who feed domestic animals that there is
such thing as feeding their stock so
largely or heavily that the profits will be
loss than if the stock were to receive
smaller allowances. When y portion OF
the feed passes away without having been
digcsted, it is a reliable indication that 10

WOMEN IN TnE ORANGES One Of the

without the companionship Of women.
No charter will be issued to organize

certain number Of women join. Their
assistance and influence are needed.
Their companionship will have refining

They are equally interested with their

every Grange encourage the attendance

The Washington Chronicle Republican in
politics, referring to the Vicksburg election,
well says: ''If the colored men in the South.
ern States are to bscome useful and worthy
citizens, it can never be done by making the
question of color an issue in the political cam
vass. This of necessity arouses the worst
passions of both races, and in every instance
thts far the result has been the defeat of the
colored men," The Chronicle adds "Th6
difficulty in these cases is scarcely ever attrib-
utable to the colored men themselves, or to
leaders of their own race. 1t generally oc>
casioned by the selfish course of some debased
white dcmagogues, who incite this feeling in
hopes to gain political Office for themselves.
aud so long as this class of men are allowed
any influence or control in public affairs, in a
city or State, so long will these unfortunate
contests arise. Peace, harmony and united
desire for the public good, without reference
to race or color, is tho only security for the
prosperity of tho community and the sooner
the Southern country is rid of these pestileut
instigators, the better for all citizens, whether
white or black and if they were to suffer
from the summary punishment they seek to
excite against their neighbors. the loss to the
community would be small, and the public
benefit incalculabIy great"

Rev. John S. Gendenning did not appear In the
Church OF the Scandal on Jersey City Heights
yesterday, nor did he visit the church since the
evening prayer meeting last week. He has been
advised not to occupy the pulpit till his case is
brought before the Presbytery for Investigation.
Meanwhile his friends are making desperate
efforts In his behalf. A most ex.
traordinary feature OF the case has Just been
developed. At q late hour on Saturday night q
man giving his name as Martin, accompanied by
one James Dunne, accosted Mr. John l.. Nutter on
the street. They took MIN to the house OF John
Gordon, the bondsman OF Glendenning, and there,
young Nutter alleges an attempt was made to
frighten him into signing document rejecting on
the character or Mary f. Pomeroy and duplicating
himself. The two men mad q carriage at the door,
which remained from ten O'Clock till hal-past

to enter 1t at that late hour and proceed to the

Aldridge, who advised him not TO go unless they
compelled him by producing warrant. Nutter
then returned to the men and promptly informed

AN ENORMOUS LEAP.-1t is no part of
our work, as chroniclers of the times. to
introduce Wanamaker & Brown, of Oak
Hall, Philadelphia. to the business public.
The expenditure Of many hundred thous
and dollars in advertisements, and the sale
of many million garments during thirteen
years, have accomplished this already
But the ENORMOUS LEAP the firm has made
in grasping at the Fall and Winter trade,
suggests subject for paragraph. Strong
in capital, this giant house, corner Sixth
and Market streets, buys for cash alone,
and henceforth sells for cash alone. See
the great advertisement in our present
issue. This relieves cash buyers of the
onerous burden imposed on them hereto
fore, of shouldering other peoples short
comings The second plank in the plat
form is to label, intelligibly, every garment
with the name and character of the mater
ial, and the one only price at which it can
be bought; thus a child can safely make
purchases in their house. A Guarantee
signed by the firm, goes with each piece of
clothing, and the house honorably known
for truth and monied means, pledges itself
to take back and pay back, cent for cent,
every purchase that is not satisfactory, if
returned within ten days.

Neglect Of School Property.-A patron

complains that books and other school pro-

the school house is in bad repair, windows
broken, and roof none of the best, and
that the shutters are not closed at night,
and at other times when the house is
unoccupied, but left to bang and flop when
the wind blows. To leave the shutters
open at night and on holidays is an excel
lent way to insure broken windows, and
when teachers practice such carelessness
with school property, it is pretty good evi-
dence that they are not much as teachers,
and should have their certificates revoked.
Systematic painstaking is the most import
ant constituent of good teacher.

A CONVENIENT WAY TO MEASURE LAND.-lt is
frequently desirable to measure given plat OF
ground or portion of field, and simple
method, such as the following, for which we
are indebted to an exchange, will be OF use to
MANY of our readers. Surveyors are not al
ways at a convenient distance to attend to such
little jobs, and even when they do reside in
the immediate vicinity one does not always
care to incur the expense incident to such
small Job. If the lines are already established
the plat can be measured with sufficient accu
racy tor all practical purposes by means OF
neat rod pole, made as follows Procure
stick of pine, white wood bass wood, or almost
any other timber, one and a half inches square
and sixteen and one-halfieet long. Dress end,
tapering from the middle, so that the pole will
be one and a-half inches square at the middle
and about half an inch square at each end
Such a pole will be light and stiff Now grad
uate one side with the marks representing feet
and inches, and graduate another side to indl-
cate surveyors links. A pole one rod IN length
must be equal to twenty-fv links. To divide
one side correctly let mechanics compass be
adjusted so that the points will divide the dis
tance into twenty-five equal spaces or links
A line can be measured with such pole near
ly as accurately as with surveyors chain.


Now, then, il person does not understand
how to multiply chains and links, let him com


pute the measurement by square feet. In one
acre there are 1850 square feet. Any intelli-
gent school boy can measure the length and
breadth of a square plot, multiply the one by
the other, and divide the product by 1850,
which will give the number of acres and the
number of square feet representing the frac-
ton of an acre. 1t is desirable to measure a
triangular plat, two sides of which lie at right
angles, measure these two sides, multiply the
distance in feet one by the other, and divide
that product by two, which will indicate num-
ber of square feet by 1850 and the quotient
will represent the number of acres.

Tan Coop BYE Hosp1TALIrY--The half Of

guests. Lavish welcomes are easily enough

threshold until he rises to leave we courteously
endeavor to make the moments slip ~ as pleas
antly as possible. But the moment he asks for
his hat our courtesy fails US. Hitherto we have
studied to anticipate and to crafty every wish.
Now that he wishes to go, however, we endeav-
or to thwart his pleasure. We selfshy try to
turn him from his purpose to ours. We wish
him to stay, while he wishes to go Courtesy
would prompt US to give his wish precedence
to our own, but as rule, We ask him to sacrl-
fee his own to our pleasure.
