The President said, a few days ago,

TO the subject OF amnesty in his annual
messagewas accidental He intended to
have stated his views freely upon the
questions but IN the hurry Of making up
the document in time 30 send it to Con-
gress, be omitted to 90 SC. His purpose
was to call attention, in the first place, to
the general misapprehenslon prevalent in
the country, that large number of peo


pie are disfrancbised IN the South BY the
! fourteenth amendment and by the iegis-
lation of Congress. This belief, which


has been fosteTed by the democratic

| fact no man has been deprived Of the
right to vote By the action Of Congress,
or by the force OF a constitutional amend
ment. All disfranchisement has been

ern states themselves, through theirleg-
islatures, for which Congress is in DO

understood, He proposed, in the second

A WORD TO COUNTRY NEwsrA~
rERs. The Cleveland Herald makes
the following truthful observation con-
cernng country papers, and the duty
ofgiying them wholesome support:


The local paper is an absolute ne
cessity to the county and community
where it is published. Al the city
papers cannotsupply the place of the
home paper. That should be the first
love of every man and woman, for with
the paper is the locality indontifed.
The paper gives the county and town
where printed much Of their impor-
tance IN tn" world, and gives in detail
the local news, which cannot be gained
by any other source. Every days issue
of the paper is SO much local history,
and the rise growth and development
Of the town and county can leasur,
ed and recorded o'j-py the Iooal new |
paper trat constantly is gathering its |
tens. People do not properly appre- !
,iate their home newspaper They |
neasure the value Of a paper too much
by the number Of columns it contains.
The home paper at any price is the
cheapest paper any one can take, for
in it is found the Information to be
obtained from no other source.


Another thing to ba taken into con-
sideration. Every county has one or
more newspaper. Hence circulation o.
each paper must be limited. There is
therefore the greatest need of activity
and interest on the part of the people
to give their own good paper, vigorous,
and substantial support.

THE annual feast of Tucson commences on the 18th instant, and will continue un- til all hands spend their spare cash and be- come worn out with the odd style of feast There seems to be some division of opin- ion as to which plaza should be leased for the purpose. It is argued by some that the Court house plaza being adjacent to the military hospital, the nightly din and revelry of the people there will greatly dis tnrb the patients; and on the other hand, it is said the same disturbance will annoy the convent school. As we view it, the patients are disturbed at night when they need and can get rest, whereas the school is not in session except in the daytime, and then the operations of the feast are suspended.

More freight was offered than could be ac- ccptcd on that trip, but the carrying ca pacity will be made to meet the demand We have seen one freight bill by the steam vessel, showing charge of less than two and one-half cents per pound to Arizona City, and time in transit about twelve days.

The cart is allowed to be very fla miliar sight, and the mule improving in appearance.

AS a general thing our young people
In America, are not thrown together
enough in an informal, social way
Small and frequent entertainments,
which serve to bring them together
agreeably, and with bat little expense,
do not prevail The passion for display
has affected everyday hospitality and
people now strive not so much to make
their houses attractive continuously, as
to surpass their neighbors by one grand,
tremendous effort in the way Of enter
tainment on large scale. Each fash>
ionable social leader is content TO give
one large party during the season, in
which the house will be crammed to
sufocation, aad the guests crushed into
the smallest possible space, and thus
all of tn social debts of the inmates
are paid in lump.


Now, as there are many charming
people who cannot afford this sort OF
thing, nor even the expense incident TO
attending many crushes," and who
are necessarily deprived of their proper
ton of social enjoyment, would it not
be far better to have more of the
smaller class of gatherings and less of
the grand affairs !?


In a sentimental poiat of view. there
is far more sabusiness" transacted at
your small tea fight than your big feed.
A hardened bachelor may pass un-
scathed through half dozen spendid
tetes, but not through series of well
served teas and post. prandial ete-a
tetes. There 10 precious little sentiment
or passion in the atmosphere of a
crowded ballroom, staircase, boudoir,
hall or supper room. The men have
themselves under some sort of disci.
pline, and the women are too much
occupied with the exhilaration of the
dance, the observation of the toilet of
their sex, and the desire 10 begenerally
agreeable, to listen to love, reason, the
hasty vows of boy beau flown with
wine" or the stereotyped compliments
of bldse locker on In Vienna"


The case ia far different, however,
with the home entertainment of the
friendly few of the especial one. In the
former instance there il some chance of
resisting kindness, or defending oneself
from the softer emotions which, like
words traced in the sand, are washed
away by the waves of sea of circum-
stances, or engulphed in maelstrom Of
engagements; bnt in the latter you are
at the mercy of your entertainer, and
she can pick your bones white at lei
sure, or, with the. motion of small
white hand handing cup of tea, upset
your fine resolutions, and drive you
like partridge into the net Of an ''im.
preston" resulting often in the tying
of knot with the tongue not to be un.
tied with the teeth.


Now it is very conducive TO the hap
piness of young people that they should
be thrown together often, pleasantly
and eheaply, and as but few of as can
afford anything handsome in the way of
an affair of dancing and victuals, by all
means let there be return TO the old
fashioned tea and muffin business. as

Several lengths of papers should be


laid one on another upon the floor or


bench, allowing the fair edges to pro-


jeet over, so that the paste may not


touch the figured surface. The back


should then be smartly brushed over


with paste, covering every part, but


taking especial care not to soak the


the paper. The more quickly and


dexteriously this operation can be


performed, the better will be the re-


suit, and no time should be lost in at


once placing the wet paper upon the


wall. The more common papers have


less power of resisting water than


those Of good quality, and speedily


become so rotten and weak that thew


will not support their own weight.


while at the same time they expand
so much that it is often difficult to
match the patterns; in fact, some Of
the very common and cheap papers
can only be hung when they are half
dry, and one person should paste the


back while the other is engaged in
placing the previously pasted piece
upon the wall. As it Is difficult to
manage very long length of wet pa
per, the best plan is to fold it loosely
back into about halfits inallength;
and when the upper part is fixed to
the wall, uD fold the lower portion and
place that in its turn. The proper
place to commence hanging is the
left-hand corner of the room, work
ing round to the right. OF course
great care must be taken to fix the
hrst length perfectly upright, as, if
this be not done, the whole Of the pa
per will, in following 1t, Be out OF the
perpendicular, and most unpleasant
effect will be produced. When the
first length has been properly placed,
the exact lines of the ceiling and skirt
ing board should be marked with the
back OF the scissors, and the paper
gently drawn away from the wall, cut
on to the line, and replaced. All air
bladders and wrinkles should be press
ed out, and the whole smoothed down
with a soft. long-haired brush. While
the paper is wet, a very little viii
cause it to smear; and it is eonsequent-
yof the first importance not to touch
It's surface more than is absolutely
necessary. The first length being
properly placed, the others NAV be
liked in the same manner, until the
whole Of the longer lengths are in
position; when the smaller portions.

doors, may be filed in with the REM

The local requisites for the manu-


facture Of good butter are air, whole
some water. and sufficieney of sweet,


nutritious herbage. Fresh, rich, Juicy
feed will enhance both the Quality
and quantity Of milk and butter.
The requisites named belong gener-
ally to somewhat elevated or hilly
districts, rather than to those Of an
opposite character. A rolling, eleva-
ted country, hilly oftentimes, abound
ing in springs Of soft water, and drain
ed by clear rippling streams flowing
over gravelly beds, constitute the pre-
dominating character of the best
dairying districts Of Vermont, New
York and the Middle States, so fa-
nous for their dairy products. On
such lands the best and sweetest nat.
ual grasses obtain, and perhaps half
dozen more different varieties abound,
in Themselves full of the best milk
producing qualities. In nearly all of
our hilly pastures the white or Dutch
clover abounds, the presence of which
indicates a good range for cows.


Another essential Is a change of
pasture. This, 1 believe, Is contrary
to the teachings of some, but think
where practicable it is the better way
to give the COWS a change of range
every ten days or so. Fresh pastures
are clean, the grass Is even, full and
nutritious, and the animals will fill
themselves. and then lie down and
digest their food in quietness. A pas
ture long run over, becomes solid with
the droppings and treadIngs Of the
cows upon it. A better flow of milk
follows a change into new pasture
than continuance on an old one, and
it is more economical. Turning off
from a close fed pasture the rains
bring it up anew, and in a few days
or weeks it is ready for the COWS again,
while the one last fed grows up again
to supply its place when that is ex-
hausted. During the fall the feed in
the pastures gets short. The defici-
eney may be made up wholly or in
part, at least, by extra feed from drill
ed corn, or second crop grass from the
moving field.


Cows, to yield the best returns,
should always have ready access to a
plenty of good water. This is almost
indispensable, for it is impossible to
make good butter without a good sup



lures where the water fails in dry
time, have probably observed how
rapidly their cows shrink in their
milk when water is scarce and the |
do not get their usual supply. |
When we consider that about eighty |
seven parts of the constituents Of I
milk are water, a COW that gives a |
large quantity of milk would require /
q good supply to keep up a uniform /
dow of milk. 1t would be far better /
to induce them to take all the water /
they will, than to have them putupO |
short allowance. Inducing cows to |
drink large quantities of water will |
increase the flow of milk certainly;
but to what extent the quantity Of 1
milk may be increased without detri-
ment to the quality, by inducing
