National Republican AUUUItA. C»A. SUNDAY MORNING May IT, IMS l’or PRESIDENT Ok the United States: ULYSSES S. KRAUT. THK IMPEACHMENT. It will bo loon, by a Washington telegram, tint after a vote on onu o f the articles o« impeachment—the eleventh -the Court ad journed till the 20th instant. Our Government is based upon the e< a that the people are able to govern themselves, and is intended to make the will of the people the supremo law. Tho constitution is valuable only a* a 11 " and ,etlled expression o« that will, and the power to amend the constitution ami the power to determine its construction both belong to the people as a part of their sovereignty. In the President’s violation ol the tenure-of oflice aet, he boldly asserted bis right to set aside a law, after his veto ol it had been overruled in the constitutional manner. Every candid man, of either party, must see that in this course ol resistance to the will of the people ami to the decisions and laws of Congress, the President usurps a power which, if conceded, would be fatal to the existence of a popular government. Somewhere in the government there must be a sovereign power to settle all disputes, and, it the government is to be popular and tree, that power must rest with the people. If his encroachment and usurpation of power are not rebuked, our President will very soon become an elective monarch, and the repub lic'will exist only in name. THE GOOD WORK. The recent elections in the South record tho progress of a reconstruction as thorough as it is beneficent. Some remnants of the habits and manners of the past will linger through this generation. Always the com mon iiiDrmiiies of humanity will develope themselves. But the Reconstruction of the South, as it is advancing steadily, is (he marvel of our times. Under any circum stances, the pacification of half a continent would he difficult. Here are Jour millions of beings who have just dropped their chains, and been inducted into citizenship. In their anomalous condition, the Southern States take all the steps in reorganization, with the decorum and dignity of the best of tlicir sisters. Casting aside the- effete insti tutions bred of slavery, they adopt the most approved systems, developed* by theory and experience, and they aim to enter at once into the work of education and progress, and to march abreast of the East and the North in the career of intelligence and prosperity. This is the fruit of the policy of the Republican party. It has proclaimed to all the inhabitants of the land. It Ims added four millions to the register of citizens. The Republican party has provided for schools for all, for equal rights to all for that impartial justice which consolidates the people into communities having a single interest, and inspired by a common patriot ism. Ten States freed, reorganized, recon structed, restored to the Union, with the present blessings and future prospects of the Southern people, 'arc coming into the national councils to testify to the work which the Republican party has done and is doing for them. MORE Wit KED A ESS. It is well known to our readers that the election for a Convention, in 1800-61. resulted in the choice of a large majority of Union delegates, but that by the threats, intimidations, and loud-mouthed secession gabbers this majority was overcome, and the State was forced into secession by the ordinance of that Convention. The plan of Democracy is, to repeat, if possible, the same system of operations upon the Legislature, which is about to assemble, and thereby defeat the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment, and secure the election of Disunionists as Sen ators to the United States. This plan is plainly foreshadowed in the following ex tract from the leading article of the Kit Kltix organ, of yesterday morning, as fol lows : Besides there are grave reasons affecting Iho in ten sis of our Slate which require, ns we think, the assembling ot die Convention near, or at ihe same time, ol the meeting of the recently elected Legislature. These reasons are so apparent that we do not think it necessary or prudent to repeat them here. The necessity of such an influence ns a Stale Convention of white people would exercise over the important Stale questions which will he brought before the Legislature, is doubtless felt by all our people. It only remains to be seen whether they will lake sufficient interest in (he mailer to meet together in the several counties and select delegates who will attend such Convention. Should this gathering of the Ku Klux Klan take place, we warn our friends the friends of law and order—those who do sire our State to be quickly restored to civil government, to tho end that wo may have prosperity founded upon industry and peace, without political discussion to beware of the schemes of these Tories. Do not be misled by the cry of “Nigger! Nigger! Nigger!’’ These men who bellow so loudly are simply office seekers. The “groat wrong” that has boon perpetrated is, that they are no longer in office; and that, by the Constitutional Amendment, they will be deprived of the opportunity of again living in office, at the expense of the honest people who pay the taxes and support the Government. Mai>. The new convert to Democracy, editor of the Chronicle if- Sentinel, is very mad at the setting back ho received at the hands of the veteran of the Macon Teh jH'iojh, and, in yesterday's paper, he “talks back,” more than a column. We feel sorry for our “respectable” neighbor, in the rear of the Gas office, and hope he won’t give it up so. The Democracy ought, by all means, to hold a State Convention, and lot Hanse Ik- flu Presi dent. CONFIDENCE IN BUSINESS. Instead of tlio variable, unsteady market, which, front our surrounding-, many per sons have felt justified in anticipating, the fluctuations are hardly greater than are inseparable from finances and commerce. While there is a gradual gravitation towards a s|H*cie basis, tho prevalent feature of the busiucss and monetary field is its Rahilitg. Nervous oud excitable as our people are often represented, variable as n gold premium so higli as forty natu rally is the facts of ottr condition show the iiu|M*rturbablo confidence whicli prevails in all classes, and tlicir disposition to adapt heir operations to the circumstances. Look to what other land w e may, there is more commercial depression, more un certainty as to the course of business, far more complaint of lack of demand for lid-or, and more of purpose and effort if not to reduce wages, at least to reluse advance of wages. Lalior is with us generally occupied, and at fair remunera tion. Ca]>ital is busy, anil reaping good profits. The coming year will be crowded with new projects, fresh enterprises, with teeming activity of brain and muscle. The faith of our people is unflinching. Reconstruction will be carried forward to completion the differences about meas ures do not prevent agreement that the result is to be achieved. That gold will fall, then, and carry prices with it, is the logical conclusion. But the faith of all classes, unspoken but acted upon, is, that the growing demand, the new prosperity, the lustier life, is to counterbalance all this. At all events, no business can be so poor as doing nothing; no loss can be so great as loss of heart. Even those who, a few months ago, were overflowing with gloomy predic tions, now pronounce the Business situa tion more encouraging. If less foreign goods arc imported, if prices in some brauchcs have touched bottom, there is the better prospect of healthful business and genuine prosperity. THE REASON WHY. On reading an article in the Ku Klux organ yesterday morning, snarling at the Macon Telegraph, we discovered the reason why communications are admitted to its columns suggesting the shooting of the lion. EosTKit Bi.odgktt as a “dog.” In explaining the large white vote of the Republican party in this city and county, the Ku Klux leader speaks iu tliis way : “If the white people of this portion of the State are to be held responsible for the late Radical victory, when it is well known to every man of intelligence and ordinary information that they are not only in a fearful minority as to numbers, but that they are also cursed | blessed 0 w ith the presence and influence of the most active, energetic, cunning and influential leader of the Radical party—that in this city and county they are tinder the administration of the corrupt [loyal j and wholly unscrupu lous [loyal] civil officers, etc.” It would be quite in harmony with the spirit of that vile sheet, did it dare to re commend the assassination of all men who have the moral courage to stand fearlessly before the public in favor of a restoration of our State to civil government, even though that restoration be obtained by tlie great hiss, to tlie country, of old politicians being kept out of office. “Gone m lli i.i..”—in this terse .sonicate do Messrs. Butler and Washhurne, accord ing to the Louisville Courier'& Washington special of the 12th instant, express tlicir opinion of the fate of impeachment. We say amen with all our heart. II the miser able old sinners, with all who fallow their lead in this great wickedness, were sent in Ihe same direction, it might he heller for the country, however it affected the parti us themselves, or the presiding genius ot that unwholesome locality.— Jour. & Messenger. If the gaseous genius of the J. if- M. is really sincere in what he says about “the miserable old sinners,” we can’t see why he should wish to send them to that lire eating locality—where he would certainly meet them again. IMI'E.U IIMENT. A RIICL KXL 'J'hat saiii Andrew Johnson, President of the United State*, unmindful of the high duties of his oflice and of his oath of office, and in disregard of the Constitution and laws of the United S-ves, did heretofore, to wit: on the 18th day of August, IStiG, at the city of Washington, and the District of Columbia, by public speech, declare and affirm in substance, that the XXXIXth Congress of the United States was not a Congress of the United States authorized by the Constitution to exorcise legislative power under the same ; but. on the contrary, was a Congress of only part of the States, thereby denying and intending todenj' that the legislation of said Congress was valid or obligatory upon him, the said Andrew Johnson, except in so far as he saw fit to approve the same, and also thereby denying and intending to deny the power of the said XXXIXth Congress to propose amend ments to the Constitution of the United States ; and, in pursuance of said declara tion, the said Andrew Johnson, President of the Unilid States, afterward, to wit: on the 21st day of February. 1808, at the City of Washington, in the District ol Columbia, did unlawfully and in disregard of the require ments of the Constitution, that he should take care that the laws he faithfully executed, attempt to prevent the execution of an act entitled “An act regulating the tenure of certain civil offices," passed March 2, 1807, by unlaw,'ally devising and contriving, and attempting to devise and contrive, means by which he should prevent Edwin M. Stanton from forihwith resuming the functions of the office of Secretary for the Department of War, notwithstanding the refusal ol the Senate to concur in the suspension therefore made by said Andrew Johnson, of tuid Kdwin M. Stanton front said office of Secretary (or the Department of War, and also by further unlawfully devising and contriving, and attempting to devise and contrive means, then and there to prevent the execution ol ntt act entitled “An act making appropria tions for the support of the army tor the fiscal year ending June ;i‘), 18(18, and lor other purposes,” approved March 2, 1807, and also to prevent the execution of an net entitled “An net to provide lor the more efficient government of the rebel Stales," passed March 2, 18ti7 j whereby the said Andrew Johns, n, President of the United States, did then, to wit: On the 21st day of February, 18fi7, at the city of Washington, commit and was guilty of a high niisde inoanor in office. And the House of Heprcseritalives, by protestation, saving to themselves the liberty of exhibiting at any lime hereafter any further articles or other accusation or im peachment against iho said Andrew John son, President ol the United Slates, and also of rcplyiug to hia answers which bo shall make unto the articles herein preferred againat him, and ol offering proof to the same and every part thereof, ana to all and every other article, accusation, or impcnch ment which shall bn exhibited by them, ns the case shall require, do demand that the said Andrew Johnson may be put to answer the high crimes and inisdcutuatiors in office herein charged against him, and that such proceedings, examinations, trials, nndjudg] meats may bo thereupon had and given ns may be agreeablo to law and justice. [from our Special Correspondent. LET! EH FROM WASHINGTON. Impeachment—Vonvictiun Sure—The Situation— tiro tone for Adjournment—Senator Ihndtreon — The Renegade Senator*—The Carpet Bajgert and Chivalry. Washington, D. U., May 13, 1868. 'I he crisis in the impeachment trial has been passu I, and there no longer exist.! a doubt hut that Andrew Johnson will l-e found guilty of “high crimes and misde meanors,” and ejected from the Executive Mansion In- has so long disgraced. Tho fact of un adjournment of the Court on the 12th to the 16th, you have received bv telegraph. We now know here that had the vote been taken on the morning of adjourn meat, a two third- vote would have hocn cast for conviction. I have this from men who know win-.cot they speak. It is equally certain that this vote for conviction cannot be reduced between this and the reassem bling of the Court; on the contrary, it mag be increased! Fessenden, Trumbull, and Grimes, have damned all their political future by going over to the enemy; they will vote for acquittal, notwithstanding their past record. In a word, by their vote, they will stultify their whole course since Andrew Johnson commenced his usurpations and tarnish a record ns fair as any man ever possessed- It is not worth while to stop to inquire what has influenced them to this course— what has prompted them to misrepresent their constituents, what lias induced them to falsify their own votes heretofore east, or to set tip their individual opinions at this criti cal juncture, not only of the affairs of tho nation, but of the puny to which they owe more than all else, the position they now occupy, l ime alone can unravel the mys tery. It matters little now whether they have been seduced by the whiskey ring or the Treasury ring, or the infatuation of future advancement upon the sacrifice ot principles they have so unfalteringly, hereto fore, advocated. It is with the great present we have to deal. Senator Henderson, another true Radical, is classed with the doubtful- The Missouri delegation called upon hint in a body yester day morning at 8 o'clock, to ascertain his real position, lie promptly stated that he could not vote for all the articles, hut might, possibly,for one—the eleventh. He expressed regret that he differed with his constituents, and it they so advised he would resign ; but should, nevertheless, stump the .Slate for the Republican ticket. Lust evening the dele gation held a caucus, at the residence ol Representative lhle, No. 112 lilth .street, where the subject was considered in all its bearings. At a late hour they in t Senator Henderson at his residenc e on E street, by appointment, and were in consultation there until au early hour this morning, flic result of this interview is not positively known, but it is understood that Mr. Ib-nder son will vote guilty on at least mu- article; if he decides not to do this, he will not vote for acquittal! Fowler of Tennes-cc, "ho has been ela.-svd as doubtful, I am assured by his personal friends, will vote guilty sure on some of the articles. The ostensible cause of the adjournment was on account of the absence of Senator Howard by reason of sickness. The real cause may be looked for in the maeliina (ions of politicians to accomplish certain objects. Au effort lias been made to induce \ ice President Wade to withdraw his name as a candidate before the Chicago Conven tion. and be satisfied with the balance of Mr. Johnson's term -because it i feared there may he difficulty if both candidates are taken from tho West. This is upon the assumption, of course, that (leu Grant is to be nominated. Another reason for adjournment, it is rumored, was to prevent Mr. Wade influenc ing the Chicago Convention by the distribu tion or promise ot patronage. The fear wan aroused by the indiscretion of a friend of Mr. Wade’s announcing that no change would he made until after the Convention, which looked very much like a threat. The old war horse, himself, is very silent upon his future course generally ; hut a few days since, when questioned ns to his course on the trial, lie replied, sharply, “I shall vole ‘guilty’ on each aud every Article of Im peachment, and decide the questions of taste and resigning afterwards.” He is determined to get Air. Johnson out even if he does not get in. fberi: are rumors today that, one or more of the Democratic Senators may vote guilty oil one or more of the articles, lmt 1 have no confidence in such rumors. Another rumor now prevails that Senator Palter, on,of Tennessee,in one ol his drunken orgies, threatened to resign in ease A. ,J. is turned out. It would certainly be a misfortune lor Tennessee to have two such men thrown hack upon her at one time. The city is fn 1 of strangers, and great excitement prevails, hut there tire now no fears of any outbreak. Members of the whiskey ring allege they have disbursed two million dollars here recently, an exaggeration doubtless, but that they have used a large amount of money is well known. To day they play shy of bets, and refuse to put up money on the result unless thoy can get $2 for SI. A. J. himself, it is believed, has had something to do with influencing Sena tors. Il is slated by a resident of Hiclnnond, who will, in line time, make oath of the fact, that an inmate of the White House lias written letters to a friend in that city, show ing this fact. The facts in the case will he made public st no distant day. The members of Congress elect from five of the unreconstructed States arc now here, and acting in harmony, to secure an early admission to their seats. A Southern adven turer approached one of the North Carolina Kepresentatives(Col. Dewcre, of the lilt Dis trict), a few nights ago, nt. the National Hotel, and commenced calling him a carpel Imgger and other names peculiar to the chivalry, when he was brought loan account on the spot, aud retired discomlitted from the field. Washington henceforth will he an unhealthy place lor Southern blackguards. The hill to relievo disabilities from (Jov. Holden, and nearly 400 other North Caro linians, who arc now acting in good faith with the Republican party, ought to satisfy the most prejudiced man of the disposition of the majority in Congress to deal in a spirit of charity with our erring Southern brethren. Vntt med not ho surprised to learn any day. by telegraph, of the Representatives from the Southern States now hero being admitted. Capita i„ - “Cun 1 induce you to invest in a lock 7” inquired a vender of an improved door fastening,of a plain looking old maid, whom ho encountered sweeping off her front stoop. ‘ You might sir, in wodlock.” THE GOVERNOR ELECT. In pleasing contrast to the practice of many of the Opposition presses in this State, is tho following paragram froq) a Democratic paper, the North Georgia Republican, at Dalton : U. B. Bullock is elected Governor for lour years to come. Though he may eutertaiu opinions, politically, very distasteful to a largo majority of tlio intelligent white people ol the Stub', yet we, iu the management of this paper, shall make no war upon him for his opinions. We give him an open field in which to commence his gubernatorial march. Let him bring to his aid the nge and wisdom of tho State—men of no extreme views on either side. Let him counsel with the moderate, the wise, nml the good, and prosperity, confidence and security will soon take the place of the present uncertainty, distrust and anticipated disorder. Mr. Bul lock has a gigantic task before him, if peace, prosperity and content incut are soon to fill our borders. This we presume he under stands. II so, he will divest himself of his person il individuality and be the Governor ol this great State iu wisdom, justice and moderation. WORDS FITLY SPOKEN. Wo heartily commend the following timely editorial from a Democratic journal—the Bain bridge Atytts —and trust that its publi cation may be attended with good, in this and other communities. Read it: “i.KT US DO KVII. TtIAT GOO* MAT COME.” Nothing would tend to shaken our confi dence in the future ot tho South more than to see religious papers and Ministers of the Gospel, as such, prostituting their sacred calling by participating in the political contests now disturbing the peace of the country. Our chief reason for believing that God was with the South and designed her ultimate triumph over all her enemies was, that the Southern churches had kept them selves aloof from any entangling and demor alizing alliances with politics or political parties, contenting themselves with the pursuit of their holy mission of promoting man’s redemption from sin and its fearful penalties. But in the last few weeks we have been startled beyond measure, and pained at Ihe heart, to notice the editor of a church organ boldly identifying his paper with the anti-Radical party, counseling the people of Georgia, and especially his denomination, to go to tho pulls and vote against a party that, if successful, would aid the Northern Church of the same faith and order, in their purpose to rob their brethren of the South of what church property they owned prior to the year 181-4. In other words, if they did not vote, God would permit them to be lobbed of what justly belonged to them, and so adjudged by the Supreme Court of the United States. The only question to he settled is, is it wrong for a church to step aside from its holy calling to dabble in the cess pool of party politics, no matter how just it may deem the enuseof the party to which it allies itself? If not, then the cry against the Northern churches, on account of their espousa's of the Republican policy of sub jugation of the South and subversion of the Government, is hypocritical and dishonest, and should no longer bo tolerated by those who are in favor of fair and just dealing. It does not affect the principle involved to say that the Republican party is wrong; is seeking the destruction of constitutional Government. The Northern churches may not think so, but may honestly believe Ibat tlie Republicans are right. If it is wrong for churches at the North, as such, to become identified with party polities, it is equally wrong for churches at tho South to do the same thing, however correct they may deem their political sentiments; and we sincerely hope the editor of the paper to whicii we refer will see his error, and, upon his knees, promise God never again to commit a like grave offence. But the theology involved in his argu ment is as heterodox as the course he pursues in this particular as the editor of a church organ is demoralizing and ruinous to tlie best interests of the church. Will not God take care of the Southern Church should she reluse to soil her hands and defile In r garments by participating in the affairs of (.'rnsar? Is it really necessary that tho church do evil in order to save her property from the vandal In.-rdes of North ern infidelity? Arc the “gates of hell” likely to “prevail against tho church,” should she content herself only with her legitimate sphere. ? No, verily! The Great Head of the Church is still the Rock of Ages, und the rain may descend, the winds may blow, and tho floods may beat, iu all their lury, against Zion's towering bulwarks, and no harm is experienced or evil done thereby, Imbed, these <:<>. vulsions and revolutions but serve to settle her more firmly and securely upon the Rock. As citizens and patriots let us do our duty to our country ; as Christians and ministers of Jo-tis Christ, or conductors of tho organs of tho church, wc have no country but the Canaan above; no city hut that shining one, “which hath foundations whose build er and maker is God.” God grant that notwithstanding the severe trials we may have to encounter, the Southern Churches may keep themselves pure, and their gar ments unspotted and uudctllcd to tho end. FUNNTGItAMS. Why was ID rod’s wife a Fenian ? lncati.se she had a head sent her- The most curious thing in the world is a woman who is not curious. A dog in New Albany, hid., plays on the piano and howls. A good many women do the same thing. A clergyman said he addressed his con gregation of ladies and gentlemen as brethren, because the “brethren” embraced the ladies. A celebrated lawyer once said that the three most troublesome clients lie ever had were a young lady who wanted to be mar ried, a married lady who wanted a divorce, and an old maid who didn’t know what she wanted- A Minnesota editor soys that a man canto into his office to advertise a lost dog, and that such was the wonderful power of advertising that the dog walked into the office while he was writing out the advertise ment. A young Indian girl, who had curiously watched the process of marking barrel heads in a flouring mill in Winona, Minn., stoic in one day, and, taking possession of the stencils, ornamented her blanket with the words “ Kllsworth’s Choice,” and paraded the streets in great delight, hut to the disgust of Mr. Ellsworth, who is a bachelor, and has made no such choice. A gentleman having engaged a bricklayer to make some repairs in his cellar, oidored the aln to bo removed before the bricklayer commenced his work. “Oh, I’m not afraid ol a barrel of ale!” said the bricklayer, “f presume not,” said the gentleman, “but I think a barrel of ale would run at your approach.” An Italian inkeeper confessed to a priest, who asked him if he over greased the teeth of his guest’s horses to prevent them from eating. Ho replied that ho had never done so. flic next time ho confessed that ho had committed the soveral times. “Why,” said tho priest, "you told mo lust time that you had never done it.” “Holy Father,” replied the innkeeper, “I did not know tho trick thon.’’ AGRICULTURAL. Fahmux's Gard*k*.—We ace an improve ment in the gardens sf oar farmers within the last hair dozen years. For years wo have endeavored to convince tho general farmer of the necessity and advantage of providing larger gardens for tbeir families, and of devoting more attebtion to their cultivation. They should raise two or three times as mauy vegetables as they now do, and they must have them earlier. They must not be satisfied with two or three messes of beans, peas, sweet corn, etc., bnt they must enjoy them daily, for weeks. Wo do all we can to (mint out the best sorts of vegetables, nml when to plant them. There should be at least three plantings of peas, four of corn, string beans all the time, lima beans, for summer and winter, early cabbage, beets, lettuce, etc., as long as they will possibly last. An early crop of turnips should be put in, not less than three or four stalks of celery, and any amount of winter cabbage.— Germantown Telegraph. 1-T.olb Making. —The question how much wheat does it take to make a barrel of flour is often asked, ami the answer is of general character, “five bushels are allowed.” At the annual fair of the Dubuque county (Iowa) Agricultural Society, in 18G7, a premium of three dollars was offered for the best barrel ol flour made from winter wheat, and also the same made from spring wheat. A firm entered one barrel, each accompanied with tlie statement that sixteen bushels of winter wheat yielded three barrels and one hundred and three pounds of flour—at the rate ol four bushels and fifteen pounds of wheat to the barrel. Os spring wheat, fifty bushels yielded eleven barrels of flour, being four bushels and thirty two pounds to the barrel. The wheat was fair quality and no more. Chop Prospects— -Intelligence from all parts of the country is to the effect that the condition of things at the present time is highly favorable for the winter wheat. In Illinois tho prospect never looked better. Indiana farmers, who two or three weeks since gave discouraging reports, now slate that the subsequent rains and warm weather have brought forward the wheat crop very rapidly, and in many places where it was supposed to have been killed. The Toledo (Ohio) Commercial says: “The breadth of ground sown last fall is largely in excess of the previous year, and every promise is now fair for a large and heavy crop.” We learn from the Ohio papers that winter wheat looks well there, and news from all parts of the State in regard to the crops is flattering. In Wisconsin the ground was never in a better state for a wheat crop than it is this spring. In Missouri the farmers are cheered by the fine prospects for their wheat. What Poor. FakmCrs can Afford— There are certain improvements which the poor est farmer can afford, and which ho cannot afford to neglect. He can afford to thoroughly till and enrich his lands. He can afford to plant the best variety of seeds, and keep and breed the best animals. He can afford good, convenient tools, and employ good help. He can afford to read and pay for good agricultural books and papers. lie can not afford to permit his land to become less productive by tilling. He cannot afford to grow crops that will not pay for production, or squander his resources by commencing labors that cannot be completed. Governing himself by these simple axioms lie will soon find himself in a position to gratify every desire instead of beingbound by tlie stern demands of economy.— Farm and Fireside. Dissolving Boxes. —Bones dissolved, or reduced by any process, is one of the best manures, and every farmer can save and dissolve a great many each year if he will only set about it in the following manner: Got a large box or cask —a sugar hogshead is as good as anything—set it where it will catch all the rain that falls, and into this throw- your bones and ashes as fast as you make them ; the ashes should he tlie greater bulk so that tho hones will be completely imbedded in tlie ashes- The rains will keep the mass moist, and tho lye will act on the bones, and completely dissolve them in from six to twelve months; aud if iherc should not be enough rain to thoroughly moisten the whole mass, chamber lye should be added, or water sufficient poured on to make up the deficiency. Two casks or boxes should be used, so that one, when full, may stand while the other is being filled, and in the meantime tho bones become throughly dissolved. Some say that a little caustic lime adde 1 to the ashes helps to dissolve the hones faster. This 1 have not tried, but the former 1 have, and know it to be a good thing, and farmers should save and prepare the bones on tin ir farms in this simple andinexpensiv ■ wav.— -'/lion's Herald. Unfermentfi) Manure.— Many excellent farmers bn.e an idea that manure, to be mo; i efficient in raising crops, should ho well rotted, blit this is a mistake. Manure loses a very heavy per rentage of its real value by decomposition. Fresh manure, dripping with animal urine, hauled directly lroai the stable on the land and plowed under, is worth nearly double that-which has decomposed to a spontaneous con sistency. When it is convenient for farmers to haul their manure on corn ground from the stable as last as it is made, it saves handling over two or three times, and for wards the work in busy spring time. No tears need he entertained that the atmos phere will carry off the strength of the manure if left on the surface. The only danger to be apprehended by this method will ho iu ease of the ground being frozen and covered with snow and ice when tlie manure is applied; if, upon sloping land, the virtue ol manure might wash away ; but on level land there is no exception to this plan of operation during the entire fall and winter season.— Germantown Telegraph. An Englishman having heard a great deal about the Yankee propensity of “bragging,” thought he would make un experiment in that art himself. He walked up to a market woman’s stand, and pointing to some large watermelons, said: “What 1 don’t you raise any bigger apples than these, in America? ’ “Apples 1 said the woman, disdainfully, “any body might know you was an Englishman.
