‘Educational problems.**

B«pon of a Lecture by Hon Carl SchorZi at Brooklyn, 5. Y.

Mr. Sclturz expressed, in the first in- -tanec. a hope that hi* auditor* had not been accustomed to look upon public lec- ture* a* a "|*ecie- of light auni-cineiit. lie did not propose, he "aid, to indulge in any witticism* to m ike them laugh, but on the contrary to speak seriously of serious thing*. In quiet conversatfoiial language.

limn in the United Male.', ami tlicr.- was certainly no country* in which it j should he more thoroughly understood.— tin abstract question* of education mo-t jK-oplc were agreed, but w hen the question | was askt d as to what particular jM»iut edu- efttioii should be directed to, and by what particular methods it should be carried j out. then the general agreement ceased. I hi d it turned out that ninny had formed no ! opinion on the siibjr t at all. In the dis- j cii*ei«ui of the qnc'Uon. he w'shed to con- ! tine himself to a few point*, but ncycithe- 1

less he would have to say many things I that were not liew. but which would beat I repetition and enforcement. In the outset ! he wished to slat** that in hi* opinion it was a question of the utmost considera- i tion that education should he so directed

1

as to tcacti not only the specific thfugi which we ought to know but how to work and how to live, and how to enjoy. They were tr. queiitly told that then ancestors learned v**ry little—some elementary branches, such as reading and writing— and yet got along very well in the world. That was very tiue. But on the other hand, w hen the conclusion wk* drawn that in this century we could be equally w ise with the same learning, then it was emi- nently false. The clicumatances which surrounded men to-day were very different from those which surrounded their great- grandparents, and were now so immense and ti id such au influence on the activi- ties ot the w orld that no standard of com- parison could he instituted. It was un- I questionably necessary lor men to know nowadays much more than their great- grandparents who tnov d iu a similar :

sphere. That being so, they had to learn j lunch more in the same short siiaee. unit so much the more important was it that their lime should Ire w ell employed. They were a,.I to think that it was iuiporlaut to impart as great a quantity of specific know ledge as could he held without injury to tire person receiving it. 'That, in his opiuiuu. w as not the main point, hut. on tlie contrary, the main purpu-e should lie to kindle an anxiety and desire to learn, and train the young mind in those meth- ods that would assert themselves in subse- quent self-education. In respect to this matter, he desired to mention some of Ids personal experiences. In his younger days lie had gone through the higher courses of study. A great many ol these Ihiua- he had succeeded in storing up in li i mind, hut much ol what lie then learned was soon forgotten, »u£ the things which he diiT^lol forget he had since di-covered to he of no practical use. The question naturally atose, wa- the time occupied in those studies thrown away? To tlris he answered no, for if in acquirit g the knowledge, which resulted from these studies, he received such training as led to a desire for further study and educatiou, then the time was both usefully and profit- ably spent, and that tmiuiug 01 discipline was more valuable than the specific items of knowledge which he might have ac- quired. They should not. however, un- derstand him as saying that specific knowl- edge w a- of no value at all, hut that the training and discipline of the mind ought to be the first aim of intellectual education. When it was stated that John Stuart Mill at the age of three years had been taught Greek, there was a disposition to marvel at lire intellectual calibre of Ids mind.— That his mind should he of unusually strong calibre there was every reason to assume, but there was scarcely so much ground for wonder that be should have ac

quired some knowledge of Gteek at that age. It was not, in fact, one wbit more difficult than for a German child to learn English sounds, or for an American child to learn tbe sounds of foreign languages, lie had himself known a little girl of American parentage who had learned Ger- man in the family am] English from her playmates. While yet a child she was taken to tbe lake of Geneva, where she ac- quired a knowledge of French, and she spoke all three in her childlike way witb-

»t the slightest contusion of utterance, J-jJ—Ji^y-ed that she could have added Tnpc

persons weie 'asked to regard a tree and to describe afterward what they had seen, scarcely one would describe it accurately, and hardly two would be hi accord. Per- haps lie might mention, as a high develop- ment of this perceptive faculty, the case ot a lady, who, passing another lu the Street, would take in at a glance the shape, color, and material of the drees which she might wear, uud probably estimate very nearly its cost. The accurate reproduc- tion in language expressing thought, was, the lecturer said, a conclusive test of the soundness of llie whole mental operation. It was impossible to lay loo much stress on this point. U was a habit that ought to be cultivated from earliest youth and could be practiced on the simplest object. The method was also exceedingly simple. A child's attention might. Tor instance, he directed to an object, and questions then might he asked concerning it. When the answers were inaccurate, corrections might be made, and tile questions repe ited until accurate answers were given. The same exercise might be goue through in the case of stories which might he told, and in lids way the child would be stimu- lated with a desire to learn, und would be- come accustomed to reproduce the exact truth as it was presented. This was wnat lie would call tl.e tirst course In the early branch of teaching. It was in the inatii 1 be most important course, tor in it lay tin* ba.-is for all others. The child would then pass into the hands of the teacher. In many schools it li&d been, and. he was

s-.rry to say, was yet, the custom to teach apart from tin; elementary branches.majy tilings with big names. The method wss to pul a text'hook iuto the hands of the pupils, and they were set down as the best scholars who repeated the answers set down in the book most Itueutly. He thought that such a system was special y intended for tiie development of human stupidity, for though it improved the memory, it did so at the expense of lac under standing. What can he taught n

1 ION. The object of early intellectual education

is to make the mind active and receplivi liy the method of discrimination which will enable a man to use the talents ol learning; iu one wotd. to lit men and wom- en lor that subsequent sell-education which, is most important lor the practical duties ol hie. You may ask, Does not this nielli-, od require' uncommon intelligence? lie ate, swci cd. So. The principles at tbe bottom are so simple as to tequlre only ordinary intelligence. It only requires (bat the ed- ucator* and parents should take all interest in it. The real difficulty is that so many parents deem I heir duty to their children tuidiled when they clothe tlieqi snd keep ihciu fed ami make them well-behaved, leaving the rest to tlie school teachers, many of w hom were lll-sulted to discharge tbe obligation. There were. It was true thousands and thousands of conscientious leachert iu the land who lolly realized the responsibilities of their duty. The lormet clas- ought to be got rid of, and this can be doue only by encoui aging the latter. Tlie truth is, that the labor of teaching is of all others, tlie most miserably paid, no Only in this country, but iu a great many others, and In others more than iu tins. It luu-t be evident to every one that if leach- ing is to be well done it must be loved as a talent, as a life calling, lletuic self- sacrifice is a very noble thing iu itself, but it is not a nouii-hnicnt everybody likes to feed upon, for it is well known that nobody feeds upon it. lie was glad to ssyabat in the larger towns iu this country great iiu- movement had hi‘t‘11 livid*, i■**! ka*f**s...

taking leave ol'this branch ol the subject, he desired to say something about tbe ed- ucation of female schools.

K SM A1. KSC UOOLS. Tlie matter of female education had of

late been discussed with heated vigor, es pecialiy since female schools produced so many able specimens of tbsir own. We are told Ural girls must be so educated tint they may be able to work their wav through life independently, not only as teachers, but as physicians, lawyers, civil engineers, members of Congress. Presi- dent*. and so on. That was one extreme. The other was. that a woman, in order to remain a good woman, must not know ton much. As to the second of these opin- ions, lie declared himself against it. Neith- er a woman nor a man could kn->w too much. Uut as to the lirst of these extremes something more was to be said. It wu- certainly true tint the education of girts should enable them to work their way honorably through life. Many more occu- pations should be open to them and a full measure of reward should be given to them, and in this respect oar public insti- tutions should grow more and more liber- al. But, on the other hand, lie thought that no system of education should stimu- late tLe desire to wort their way Inde- pendently and alone, ilia opinion in this respect might appear oid-fogyisb, but he did not hesitate to declare that it was not well lor woman to remain alone. [Ap- plause.] He thought it was the calllrg for woman to get married, as it was ia the or- der ol things that man should feel himself destined to become a father and a husband. Wc should therefore condemn as equally ab- surd any system of education, any social or- der, calculated to induce young women to remain spinsters. Education aliould be di- rected u> make men good husbands and good fathers, and to miks women good wives aud mothers. He wmuld add that ,l'M end seemed to him vastly more import- 30.00 I >he case of females than in the edu- Lbi 2 someOTt. bocaase they are to exer-

AN OPINION ON ••OUU OIRLS.” Our girl*—he was perfectly aware it

was considerred more la.-hionuble to say '•young ladies," but he felt obliged to con- fess that he would tar prefer the plain, sen- sible girl to a modern young lady of eight- een, and lie would therefore continue to ■ey that our girls was not only a more ap proprlate title, hut also more complimen- tary. Our girls should know how to or-

ganise a home, and iu the lirst place they elmuid be inspired to have a home, lie bad to uieutiou a practice which had be- come common iu these limes—he meant tlwr practice of married couples living in boarding bouses or hotels, fins was en-

tirely wrong. He did not think it would bean exaggeration at all to say that a

very large purport ion of the troubles which aro.-e iu families was to be traced to a great extent to hotel and boarding-house life. [Applause.] And why, lie would ask, was u that b* aiding was »o frequently re- ported to? Iu a great many cases it may be itece-*ar> to adopt this mode of living, but iu a great many other cases it could be avoided. It was too often resorted to because so many young women did not know bow to manage a home us it ought to be, and then lore avoided it. To make a home as it ought to be. it required uo tUed income, but it did require* that econ- omy. that knowledge which turns small 'lungs to advantage a>u] all things to their proper use. It did require that taste tor the Absence ot which no amount of wealth could couipen.-ate. It did require that temper and toning of mind and In art which impart an air of cheerlii.ness and elevates the moral tone of everything around them, and which does more to make children good and keep men good, and to hold society in order ami to make people strong, patriotic, and prosperous than any other human agency. As all were aware the untidy household seldom was a

happy home. It was the source of many differences between the husband ami wife. Education should therefore, he directed to inculcate sound opinion- of practical ceon- 0,11 *'• It would be a disastrous mistake to educate girls with the views of making them more attractive than really servicea- ble to llicui-elves or to others

Recently he heard an anecdote which was V'#ry striking. fwoyoiiug gcntleuieu were looking at fashionable ladies promenading m front ol a fa-liiouable hotel. One ot t hem u-ked the otlu r why he did not get narried. ‘*You have money enough.** -aid he, “to feed a wile.” “Yes." replied 'he oilier, “but 1 have not money enough fo clothe her ** flint language seemed vul- gar. but it fairly expressed the views .»f u large number of men, a.id tho-e feeling- most romiiiiif so l.i’i.r i. ,ii. i...i___

-idcr they must carry more value outside Ilian inside. If they w auled to prove the truth ol tilts they need only go to the club- house aud there they would dud gentlemen who look upon matrimony as too expen- sive lor t Item. and who soleinuly resign themselves to singleness upon tins ac- count. And he Would sav that when in a nation the number of marriages grow less, aud the number of children declines in ptoporlion to the number of marriages, the nation show s signs ol im[ieiidmg de- cay. I'liey all tool te*ard of a Homan tnat- louTUMned Cornelia, who. when Homan lames who were nci ..vie eon versing aiiout the costliness ol their Jew- els. asked her to show hers. That wise lady want and brought her two sous, and said. •'These are my jewels." He feared 'here were many ladles iu this country who e>$ild call m their jewels and sav these are my children. And when the uabitk of female society becomes so luxu- rious lhait matrimony was dreaded, then itulet'iIMpcit'ty was upon u wrong ba-i*. ll»* woMtt ilit-n fore impress it that, in thi- respect, nothing was more Important than the proper education of the p inale seg 1’licy should be brought up in the know ! dge Ol their own true duties of usefulness

•tlieu they will purify the aocitl body from •corruption. Woman is the centrt- of social virtues. When the ohl Homans wanted to bestow the highest class of praise upou a Homan matron they said, "she sits at home spinning."

Business qualities too. are needed in u household. In tile upper classes of society, be knew, it was reckoned unfashionable to do anything practical, except to go shop- ping, and that be thought, was about the most unpractical tinny lie knew of. 'J’bey prided I liemselves uu doing nothin;;. \ lady of the country had once expressed lo him her great surprise at having noticed, while on a visit to the wile of Prince Els- uiark. that site went about her house »ith h bunch of keys at her waist, and person- ally superintended the affairs of oer own household. In Germany tiiat bunch of keys is regarded as more oruaineutai than splendid diamouds. The diamonds merely prove that a lady has a riok husband. The keys prove that she haa elevated bcrselt above the rank of a drone hi society. [Ap- plause.] Perhaps the very spirit t at makes them wear those bunches uf keys is astronir attraction to their future hus- bands ; for to auy sensible mau those keys would he a strong attraction. And II In our own Society ladies would wear hunches of keys rather than costly diamonds, it would be greatly improved. [Applause.] At the beginuiug ot the last century a lady educator of great experience said lo the First Napoleon, who was visitiug her in- stitution, that any educational system is wroug which does not educate mothers. "Madam,” said he, "there is in that re- mark wisdom of a whole science. What a

have lost four years already.” And the remark was a true one, for in the Urst ten years of our lives, it not in the tirst five, more U learned than iu any other period of correspondingjength. And we learn it almost eutirely troiu our mothers. While the father works, the mother teaches. She opens our eyes to see, and our minds to understand. The germs of good or evil she first plants into our souls. The home and the nursery are the first school, and the mother is its genius. What, then, should our girls learn to fit them for this position? They shouldJearn the dignity of work. Our girls need a just understand* ing of this dignity of work. The greatest danger of woman in this country is the emptiness of her daily life. Some regular occupation is absolutely needed. Iu a sem- inary he had once visited there was a young lady who had become proficient In the higher mathematics, lie supposed that the calculus would be of very little practical u-e to her iu future life. But that young lady would look down with Contempt, on those whose lives had been parsed iu emptiness while she had been working, lint rather than mathematics he would recommend as a pursuit music, or painting, or caring for the poor iu liospi tals. And a woman after having thus dis- ciplined her mind, can then discipline her children's minds. In one respect ho did nor wish to be misunderstood. A woman's education should not be wholly directed to the duties of married life, for ho recog- nued tin* necessity that some women must live alone. But the most important, the mo>t noble, the most etlieient work a woman can do is iu the family. A moth- er s education is at the basis of society. ^

W11K.UK our political evils begin. We denounce the preva ont corruption in

It is obtained chiefly ou the shores of the Baltic, be- tween Konigsperg and Memel. Siugn- lerly enough, a stratum of amber earth lies under a nearly horixontal stratum ol alluvial saud and coal-bearing clay, ou the coast. This has been explored, where it rises above the level of the sea; and carbonized, coniferous wood is found in it with organic remains. The amber frequently encloses small insects, «o.; and the cxleriur surface is olleu marked with the impression of branch- es and bark; and, in one example, the corolia of an unknown flower is seen. The varieties in color aud transparency ate very numerous; and the Pruseiaua pioduce many objects of tasle and utili- ty from the article.

Cured in an Asylum. •‘Everything goes wrong,” saiil Mr.

Tripler. laying down his knile and fork with the face of a martyr.

There are some people In the world, with whom “everything” seems chroni- cally to go wrong—there are some whose Hist infantine wail is uttered in the minor key.and who goon lamenting through life ;' and of this much abused class Mr. Nathan Tripler was a burning and a shiniim light. I

“What’s the matter, dear?” questioned I Mrs. Tripler, who sat opposite her hus- band With a round-eyed baby on her knee, j ami two or three little ones clamoring for their share of the matutinal meal on either side of her, Mrs. Tripler was a neatly- made little woman, with big blue eyes and flaxen hair—a woman who might have been pretty, could she have divested her- self of a certain frightened upprehensive look that cauie over her lace whenever bet liege lord spoke, or looked towards j het. Not that Dorothy Tripler was atruid I —her husband had never either beaten i her or used coercive measures, hut when a man begins to Hud fault, a woman is nev- er easy in her tiiiiid less some domestic screw should he waxen loose.

"I can’t cat a mouthful. Dorothy.” croaked Mr. Tripler, dolefully. “Such cooking! and such food! You may as well turn that tievv cook of yours into the street at once.”

No reply. Mr. Tripler had folded his arms and was gazing with an expression of abstracted despair at the ceiling. “Will you have another cup ot coffee?” timidly questioned his wile.

“Coffee? is that coffee? Heallv I thought it was hot water that had got into the urn by mistake!"

walking down the path through the wild 1 and Solitary glen that led to the road I where, twice a day. the I.emlville stage i lolled by. conveying passengers to the train at Martin's Station.

“Oh. yes.” said the keeper, lighting a

cigar, “yesterday you was Napoleon Bona- parte. and to-day you’re Nathan Tripler, and to-morrow.—likely as not—you’ll be the king of the Sandwich Islands. I’ve heerd this kind o’talk afore.”

Triplets heart begau to stand still with undefined horror. Was this a hideous dream? or was he to be actually immured within the high stone walls of the asy- lum he had so often walk past with a feel- ing of dread ami horror beyond all descrip- tion, lhe life-long, victim of some scarce creditable mistake? In vain lie reasoned, argued, protested; his words fell on Ilia unheeding ears ot his two conductors, like drops of rain pattering on the stony sur- face of Table Kock, until at length he was

carried—more dead than alive—into a narrow apartment at the end ot a long row of similar ones. It was lighted and veutdialed by an iron grating in the door, with a corresponding window hiah upon the wall, and furnished with only a narrow couch and a stand built into the wall; and * here Mr. Nathan Tripler, released Irotn bis coniiuiug bonds, was left to enjoy the uninterrupted society of his own cheerless meditations.

It can’t be possible! I must be asleep ami dreaming!” thought Nathan.

lint it uua possible, and he was never wider awake in his life!

Towards evening a pitcher of water and a piece of bread were dealt out to him.— Mr. Tripler ate it tinder a sort of mental protest to relieve the gnawing sensation ot taint ness that was at his vitals.

“What would 1 give for one of Dorothy’s hot biseuils,” thought the wretched cap- tive. “.My poor little Dorothy! I ha\e been t«»o bard upon her. Suppose—-just suppose I should die without being able to tell her how ashumed I am of having been such a brute!’’

It was not the dry bread that choked Nathan Tripler just then—it was the hu- miliating sense of Ins own sins and short- w comings.

NSxt morning it was bread and water again. Nathan thought of Dorothy's de- spised coffee and grumbled-at steak.

I’ve deserved it,” thought Nathan, ‘“.here’s no mistake* about that. Poor. darlimr little 1), wot lie* I.. ■

The President's-Message. CONDITION OF TTIK COUNTRY.

To the Senate and House of Hcpresentatives: Since the convening of Congress one

year ago, the nation has undergone a pros- tration in business and Industries, such as hss not been witnessed with us f.,r many years. Speculation as to the causes for litis prostration might tie indulged in with- out protit. because as many theories would be advanced as there would be independ- ent writers, those who expressed their owu views without borrowing upon the subject. Without indulging theories as to the cause of this prostration, therefore. I will call your attention only to tiie tact and to some questions as to which it would seem there would be no disagreement.

During this prostration, two special ele- ments of prosperity have been most abun- dant, labor and capital. Both have liecu largely unemployed. Where security has been undoubted, capital lias been attain- able at very moderate rates: where labor has been wanted it has been found in abundance, at cheap rates, compared with what of the necessaries of life could be purchased with the wages demanded. Two great elements of prosperity, therefore, have not been denied. A third might be added—our soil am) climate are unrivaled within tbe limits of contiguous territory under one nationality, for the variety of products to feed and clothe our own peo- ple. and in tbe amount of surplus to spare to teed less favored people. Therefore, whh these facts in view, it seems to me that wise statesmanship at this session of Congress would dictate legislation ignor- ing the past, directing in proper chanueis these great clemeuts of prosperity to any people.

TIIK NATIONAL DEBT. I he debt abroad is the only element that

can with otherwise a sound currency, en- ter into our affairs to cause any continued depression In the industries ami prosperity ol our people. A great conflict lor nation- al existence made necessary lor temporary purposes, the raising of’ large sums of money from whatever source attainable. It w as mule necessary in the wisdom of Congress—and I do not donbt their w is. dom in the premises, regarding tiie neces- sity of tiie times—to devise a system of national currency which it proved to be impos-ihle to keep on a par with the re- cognized ct rretiry of tiie civilized world. This begot a spirit of speculation involv- i**- a|« extravagance and luxury not re- quired for the happiness or prosperity of a people anil involving both directly aiul In- directly foreign indebtedness

the currency being of fluctuating value and therefore unsafe to bold for legitimate transactions requiring money, became a subject of speculation in itself.’ These two causes, however, have involved us in a for- eign indebtedness contracted in good faitli by borrower and lender which should be paid ill coin, and according to tiie bond ! agreed upon when the debt w as contracted, gold or its equivalent. The good faith of the Government cannot be violated to-1 w ards creiliu>rsawitbout national di-gr iee. Inu our commerce should Ur encouraged: American shipbuilding and carrying capa- city increased; foreign markets ’sought for products of cur soil and manufactories, to tiie end that we may be aide to pay these debts. Where a new market can be created I tor the sale ol products either of tiie soil.

1 tiie mine or the manufactory, a new means ! is discovered ol utilizing our idle capital j ami labor to the advantage ol the w hole 1

XII XK CIRREXCY—SPECIE PAYMENTS.

H.itin my judgment the first step to-1 Wants accomplishing this object is to | secure a currency, good wherever civHiza- i tiou reigns; one which it it become ssujier- abundant with 011c |>cople will find a mar- ket w ith some other; acurrency which lias as ii- basis the labor necessai v to produce it. which will give to it value. Gold and silver are uow the recognized mediums of! exchange the civilized world over, and to I this we should return with the least prac- ticable delay. In view of the pledges of the American Congress when our present legal tender system was adopted aud the debt contracted, there should be no de- lay, ceitaiuly not unnecessary delay, in fixing by legislation a method by which we | will return to specie. To the accomplish- ment of this end I invite your special at- j tention. I believe tlrmlv that there can he j no prosperous and permanent revival of business aud Industries uulil a policy is adopted, w ith legislation to carry it out. looking to a return to a specie basis.

FALLACY OF INFLATION. It is easy to conceive that the debtors 1

and speculative classes may think it of) value to them to make the so-called monev abundant until they throw a portion ot Iheir burdens upon others, blit even tlie-c. 1 believe, would be disap{K>inted in the re- suit if a course should be pursued which w ill keep in doubt the value ot the legal I tender medium of exchange. A revival of the productive industries U needed bv all) > asses and by none more than the holders of property of whatever sort with debts to liquidate Irom t ie realization upon its I sale, ltut admitting that these two classes oi citizens are to be benefited by the ex-1 pausiou. would it be honest to give it?; Wou d not the general loss he too great to ;

justify such relief? Would it uot be just* a- honest and prudent to authorize each debtor to issue bis own legal tender to the extent of his liabilities, as to do this? W mild it uot be safer, for fear of an over i-suc by unscrupulous creditors, to sav that all debt obligations are obliterated in the l uited States and now we commence j anew, each possessing all he has at the time tree from encumbrance? These prop-

1

ositions are too absurd to be entertained ; for a moment by thinking or honest peo- ple.

\ ct every delay in preparation for final resumption partakes of this dishonesty and is only less in degree, and the hope is held out that a convenient season will at last arrive for the izood w ork of ri.d,n>uiiim

pledges. This will never come, in my opinion, except by l>osiiive action by Con- gress, or by national disaster which will destroy, for a lime at least, the credit of tile individual and the State at large. A -ound currency might be reached by total bankruptcy and discredit of the integrity i ol tiiu nation and ol individuals. I believe it is in the power of Congress at this ses- ! slou to devise sucli legislation as will re- new coniidence. revive all the industries, j start us on a career of prosperity to last ;

tor many years, and to save the credit of! the nation anil of the |>eople. .Steps to- i ward return to a specie ba-is are tbe great I

requisites to ibis devoutly to be sought for end. There are others which I may toucli ! upon hereafter.

A nation dealing in a currency below that of specie iu value, labors under two great di-advantages : lirst, having no use for tlie world’s acknowledged mediums of exchange gold and silver, these aredriveu out of the country because there is no de- mand for tlieir u-e. Second, the medium of exchange iu use being of a fluctuating value, lor alter all. it is only worth the price ot wdiat it will purchase of gold and silver, metals having an intrinsic value, ju-t iu proportion to the |honest labor it takes to produce them. A larger margin must lie allowed lor profit by the manu- facturer and producer. It is months from the date of production to the date of reali-; zatiou; interest upon capital must be charged and the risk of fluctuation in the value of that which is to be received in ! payment added, lienee, tbe high prices acting as a protection to the foreigu pro- ducer. who receives nothing in exchange for the product of his skill and labor ex- cept a currency good at a staple value the world over. It seems to ine that nothing is clearer than that the greater part of the burden of existing prostration for the want ot a sound tinancial system falls upon the working man who must alter ail produce tlie wealth, and the salaried man who superintends and conducts tbe business. The burdens fall upon them in two ways— by the deprivation of employment and by the decreased purchasing power of their salaries.

KKCOMMENIl ATIOSS FOR RUl'MFTIOS.

It is the duty of Congress to devise the method of correcting the evils which are

acknowledged to exist, but I will venture to suggest two or three things which seein to me as absolutely necessary to a return to specie payment. The tirst great requi- site is a return to prosperity. The legal tender clause to the law authorizing the issue of currency by tbe National Govern- ment should be repealed to take effect as to all contracts entered into after a day named iu the repealing act, not to apply liow ever, to the payment of salaries by Government or for other expenditures now

provided by law to be paid in currency. Iu tbe interval pending between tbe re-

peal and Anal resumption, provision should be made by which the Secretary of tlie Treasury can obtain gold as it may be- come necessary from time to time from the date when specie redemption commence*. To this might and should be added * rev-

enue sufficiently in excess of tlie expenses to insure an accumulation of gold In the

(Treasury to sustain redemption. J com- mend this subject to your careful consider- *Uion. believing that a favorable s< iiion

j is attainable and that if reached by this Congress, that the present and iuture

| generations will ever gratefully remember it as their delivery from a thraldom of evil

| aud disgrace. FltBB BANKING.

With resumption free banking may be authorized with safety, giving full protec- tion to hill holders, which they have not under existing laws. Imle* d. 1 would re-

gard free banking as essential. It would give proper elasticity to the currency as

I more currency should be required for ilie 1 transaction of legitimate business. New banks would wind up their business w hen it was found that there was a superabund- ance of currency. The experience and judgment of the people can best decide just how much currency is required lor itlie transaction the of business of the coun-

try. It i« unsafe to leave the settlement of I this question to Cougresa. The Secretary [ofthe Treasury is the Executive, Con gress should make the regulations under which the banks may exist. but should uot make banking a monopoly by limiting the amouut of redeemable paper currency that shall be authorized. Such impor- tance do I attach to this subject aud so

earnestly do I commend it to your atten- tion that I give it prominence by intro- ducing it at tlie beginning of tliis message.

Ot’R FOREIGN RELATIONS.

During the past year nothing has occur- red to disturb tin* general friendly and cordial relations of the Cnited States with other powers. The correspondence sub- mitted herewith between this Government and its diplomatic representatives a* also with tlie representatives of other countries shows a satisfactory condition of all ques- tions between tlie Cnited States ami the most of those countries and with few ex-

ceptions. to which reference is hereafter made, the absence of anv points ot dill r- ence to be adjusted. The notice directed by the resolution of Congress of June 7. 15*74. to tie given to terminate tlie conven- tion of July 17. ls.%3. between the United Mates and Belgium has been given and the treaty will accordingly terminate on the 1st day of Julv 1M7.V This conven- tion secured to certain Belgium vessels entering the ports of the United States ex-

ceptional privileges which are not accord- ed to our own vessels. Other features o| the convention hare proved satisfactory an»l have tended to the cultivation of mutually beneficial commercial intercourse and friendly relations between the two countries I hope that the deputations which have been invited will result tu the celebration of another treaty which may tend to the interests of both countries.

Our relations with China continue to he friendly. During tlie past year tin* fear of hostilities between China and Japan growing out of the landing of an armed force ii|H)ii the I-land of Formosa |»y tin* latter has occasioned uneasiness. It u earnestly hoped however, the difficulties arising from this rinse will be adjusted and that the advance of civilization in these Empires may not be retarded by tic* state of war. In consequence of the p irt taken by certain citizens of the Cured States ill this exp -diti »n our rep: eseut i- tivc» iu those countries have been iu- atmeted to impress the governments o| China aud Japan with tlie firm intention ot ibis country to maintain strict neutrali- ty iu tlie event of hostilities, and to care- • i' m Miiy inirariioii* ui me i.iw on the part of our citizens.

On this subject. I call the attention of Congress to a generally conceded fact j that the great proportion of the Chinese immigrants who come to our shores d»» J not come voluntarily to make their homes with us ami their labor productive of gen- eral prosperity*, hut come uoder contracts with -head meu” who owu them almost absolutely. In a worse form does this *|h plv to Chinese women. Hardly a percep- tible jierceutage of them perform any hon- orable labor, but they are brought for i shameful purposes, to the di-grace of th«* communities w here they have settled, and to the great demoralization of the youth j of those localities. If this evil practice I can be legislated against, it will be my 1

pleasure as well as duty to enforce am

regulation to m-cure so desirable an end. i It is hoped that tin* negotiation between I

the Government of Ja,.an and the Treaty , Powers, looking to Uie further opening to the empire, and the removal of various restrictions upon trade ami travel, tuay soon produce the results desired, which cannot tail to ensure the bem-tlr of all parties.

11IE JAPANESE INDEMNITY.

Having on previous occasion- submitted i to the consideration of Congress the pro- i priety of relieving the Japanese Govern- ment from the further payment of the indeuiolfy under llie Convention of Oct. 1*2J. 1SG4. and as no further action ha- been taken thereon it becomes my duty to | regard the obligation* of the Convention as in force, ami a- the other powers inter-, e*ted have received their poriiou of lhe indemnity* in lull, the Mioi-ter of the United States iu Japan has 011 behalf of this Government received the remainder of the am *utit due the United Slit* sun-

der the Convention of Si nonooskv I submit the propriety of ajiplyiug the In- come of a part. If not of the whole, of this fund to the education m the Japanese language of a number of young men to bv under obligations to serve the Government for a specified time as interpreters at the Legation and the Consulates iu Japan. A limited number of Japanese youth might at the same time b« educated In our own vernacular, and mutual benefits would result to both Governments. The importance of having our own citizens competent and familiar*with the language of Japan, to act as interpreters and in other capacities connected with the Lega- tion and the Consulates in that country, caunot readily* be over estimated.

CLAIMS OK ALIENS.

The amount awarded to Great Britain i

by the mixed commission organized under I the provisions of the Treaty of Washing- | ton in settlement of the claims of British 1

subjects arising from act- committed be- tween April 13, 1SC1. and April 9. 1S63. became payable uuder the terms oft he ;

treaty within the past year, and was paid udou 21-t dav ol Sent ember. 1S72. fn this connection I renew tnv recommenda- tion made at the opening of the past ses sion of Congress that a special court he created to hear and determine all claim* of Aliens against the United States aris-

ing Iroui acts committed against their 1

persons and property during the iusurrec- j lion. It appears equitable that an oupor- itinity should he offered t« the citizens ol 1

other States to present tle-ir claims as 1

well as those of British subject* whose claims were not aduussahle under the late commission, to the early decision of some 1

competent tribunal. To this end 1 recom-

mend the necessary legislation to organ- j ize a court to dispose of all claims ol | Aliens of the nature relerred to iu an equi- j table and satisfactory manner, and to re-

lieve Congress and other departments of these questions. NEMTPOL'KPLAKU—SOKTIIMtS BOL'XUAltY.

A copy of the report of the commission- ers appointed under the aelof March »th. 1871. for surveying aud marking the bound- ary between the United stales and the British poa-es-ions. from the Lake of the Woods to the summit of the Uocky Moun- tains. is herewith transmitted. I am hap- py to announce that tbe tieid work or the coiumissiou haa been completed, and the entire line from llie northwest corner of the Lake of the Woods to the summit of the Uocky Mountains haa been run aud marked on the surface o» the earth. It is believed that the amount remaining uj|kt- pended of the appropriation made atYfle last seas ion or Congress will be sutndent to complete tbe office work. I recommend that tlie authority of Congress be given for the use of the appropriation iu the completion of the work of the commission- ers in making its report aud preparing the neccessary papers.

Tbe Court known as the Court of Com- missioners of Alabama Claims created by an act ot Congress at the last session, has organized and commenced Its work, and it is to be hoped that tbe claims admissible under tbe provision of the act may be speedily ascertained and paid.

It has seemed advisable to exercise the discretion conferred upon tba Ezcutive at tbe last session of Congress by accepting tbe conditions required by the government of Turkey for the privilege of allowiug citi- izens of tbe United States to bold real es- tate in tbe former country, and by assent- ing to a certain change in the jurisdiction of the courts ol the latter. A copy of the proclamation upon these subjects is here- with communicated.

MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA. There has been no material change in

| relation* with the independent States of this hemisphere which were formerly un- der the dominion of Spain. Marauding on

X A YUR ALIZ ATIO V. !:* thi- connection I earnestly call the atten-

tion of Congre** to the difficulties ari-iug from trauduient naturalization. The United State* ! wi-ei\, fr. ely and liberally offer* it- citizen-hip t«» ill who may coin** in good faith to re-id-- tvi'l.in il. limit J f.n limit- pnmiilFlinr i.-Irl. ..

tail prescribed reasonable aud simple formali- ties and conditions. Among the liL-ie-t Un- ties of the government is that to afforJ linn. el- tieieut aud equal protection to all its citizens, whether native horn or naturalized. Care should be taken that aright, carrying with it such support from the government.’ should not he fraudulently obtained, and should he be- stowed only ujxin full proof of a compliance with the law and vet ihvrq art frequent in- stances of illegal am! fraudulent naturalization, aud of the unauthorized use of certificates thus impro)e-rly obtained. In some cases the fraud- ulent character of the naturalization ha- ap- peared upon the face of the certificate itself; in other-, examination discloses that the per-ou had Dot complied with the law; and in others certificates have been obtained where the per- sons holding them were not only not entitled to be naturalized, but had not been within the United States at the time of the pretended nat- uralization. Instances of each of these classes of fraud are discovered at our legations, where the certificates of naturalization are presented either for the purpose of obtaining passports or io demanding the protection of the legation.

When the fraud is apparent on the faces of such certificates, they are taken up bv the Rep. resentatives of the government and forwarded to the Department of State; but even then tUq record of the court in which the fraudulent naturalization occurred remains, and duplicate certificate# are readily obtainable. Upon the presentation of these for the issue of pas-ports or demanding protection of the government, the fraud sometimes escapes notice, and* such certificates arc not unfrequently used in the transaction or business, to the ddfeeption and injury of iiwoarnt parties. Without placing auy additional Wtftacles in the way of obtain- in', nt of citizenship by the worthy and well-in- tentioned foreigner who comes in good fitith to cast his lot with ours, I earnestly recommend further legislation to punish fraudulent natur- alization and to secure the ready cancellation of the record of every naturalization nude in fraud.

Since my last annual message the exchange has been made of the ratification of the treaties of extradition with Belgium. Ecuador, Peru, and Salvador; also of a treaty of commerce and navigation with Peru, and one of com- merce and Consular privileges with Salvador, *11 of which have been duly proclaimed, as has also a convention with Russia with reference to trade marks.

ran FINANCES. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, which by law la made directly to Congress, and

forms no part of this message, will show the receipts and expenditures or the Government for the last fiscal year, the amount received from each source of revenue, and the amount paid out for each of the Departmenta of the Government. It will be observed from this re- port that the amount of receipts over expendi- tures has been $2,344,882.30 for the fiscal year ending Jane 30,1874, and that for the current fiscal year the estimated reeeipta over expendi- tures will not much exceed nine millions of dollars. In view of the large national debt ex-

isting and the obligation to add one per cent, annual to the sinking hind, a sum amounting

now to over ^00,000 per annum, I submt whether the revenues should not he lnen>a*n, or expenditures diminished to reach Ilia amount of surplus. Not to provide for tic sinking fluid is a partial failure to comply wifi the emit met s ami obligations of the (inverts nient.

The report gf the Attorney General contain* v.ki ibi recommendations relating to the ad- [ tniuislraliou of justice in tl. courts of tin* Uni- j tod 8 ate*, to which I invite your attention. 1. jeapecttully suggest to Congress the propriety of in<Teasing the number of judicial district* in the United States to eleven, the present Mmber being nine, and the creation of fwo additional judgeships. The territory U be traversed by th*- uiue Circuit Judges W so great, and the business of the courts is so steaddr increasing that it i* grow- ing more and mor« impossible for them to keep up with the business r**quiriiig their attention, ■farther this would involve the necessity of! adding two more Justices of the Supreme j Court to the present number. I submit to the I judgment of Congress.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT—INDIAN AFFAIRS. \ ‘The attention of Congress is iuvited to the re-

port of the Secretary of Interior, and to the ! iiwislaliou asked for by him. The domestic in- vest* of the people art* more intimately con- | Acted with this thau with either of the other Apartments of the Government. Its duties have become so onerous that without the most perfect system and order it will be impossible for any Secretary of the Interior to keep trace of all official transactions having his sanction, done in his name and for which he is held per- sonally lespon-ible. 'The policy adopted for the management of In-

dian affairs known a» the ‘Peace Policy’ has been adhered to with the' most satisfactory result*. (t is confidently hoped that a few years more will relieve our frontier* from danger of Ituliuu depnulations. I commend the recommendation of the Secretary for the extension of the Hoine- atead Law* to ihe ludians and for some sort of Territor.al government for the indiau Territo- ry. A great majority of the ludians occupying this Territory are believed ‘to be incapable of maintaining their rights ngainst the more civ- ilized and eulightened wnite man. Any terri- torial form ol Government giveu them,'there- fore. should protect them In their home* and property f*»r a period of at least twenty year* before its final adoption should be ratified by a

majority of those effected. PENSIONERS.

The report of the Secretary of the Interior, herewith attached give* much interesting sat- isticaJ information, of which I abstain from giving an abstract, but refer you to the report Itself. The act of Congress providing the oath to which pensioners must subscribe before drawing their pension* cut.* off from this boun- tv a few survivor* of the war of 1812 residing in the Southern States. J recommend the res- toration of tnis bounty to ail such. The num- ! her of parsons whose name* would thus be re

stored to the list of pensioners is not l*' j they are all old persons who cotildjftp stork oi do part in the rebellion, and j.rail kinds ot i which thev were awat'IVgrbeery store, at a < defence of the comd*'

without good grounds, is also ofteu condemned as a loiianon of them. Under these circumstances, therehuv. i announce that if Congress adjourns without positive legislation on the subject of “Civil emce Reform,” I will reward such action asa dis- approval or the system and will abandon it, ami ex-

EI.KRKNT9 OF PROSPERITY. I have statesl that Uirce elements of prosperity to

the nation—capital, labor skilled and unskilled, and products ot the soil—stlii remain with u». To direct the employment of these is a problem deserv- ing the most serious attention of Congress. If em- ployment can tie given to all labor offering itself, prosperity necessarily follow*. I have expressed the opinion, and repeat it, that the first requisite to the accomplishment or this end is the substitution ot a sound currency in place of one of a fluctuating value riiis secured, there are many interests Unit might be fostered to the great profit of both labor and capital. How to induce capital to employ la bor is the question. The subject of «l»«*p trnnstMir tation has occupied the attention of Congress ami much light on this question will without doubt l»e giv. u by die committee appointed by the but Con- gress to investigate and report upon this subject.

Tha Shore Lin? Onr Washington County friends, have

by no means given up the project of u

railroad through ihesu- two counties, it is difficult to see what progress lias thus far been made, beyond a preliminary sur-

vey, hut it is encouraging to know Hint the matter is still in people's minus.

l'lie original corporation for a line from tlie Oeiiobscol fo the St. Croix, have been in tlic Held now several years. At one

time they were apparently making some

progress. They obtained subscriptions from nearly a!i tin* towns on the route, including Ellsworth, and the more enthu- siastic could almost hear Hie rattling ol tile tiaius. There was some hitch how- ever, and nothing more was done.

Another corporation have given notice that they would like to try to start a r.i i- road along the shore. The Castine * Ell.- Wurth If K to.. a-k for leave to buiid from Castine through Ellsworth, to the Eastern frontier. They claim chat they have more inducements to offer the peo- ple, and can rely up ou more resources.

Tile chief difficulty heretofore, has been in getting west from Ellsworth. From Ell-worth east, the country is alive to the

i work, and ready to he taxe I. From Ed —

It lias become apparent, that a rail road of ordinary gauge, cannot be built along the coast by tiny means at command Such a work would nearly, it ,r ipme bankrupt tile towns under:.king it. pbe wesithy towns in K:iox ami I.iueolu roan-

friends ot th Kuf anl E. a m'!i r-

porntion is. that there i- in m< v enough in E l*worth and (astiue. an l the town,

between, to easily build narrow o.m^e road fiom (.’a-ti.ie to Eil-Aortli. and have

something over to help our wa-teru neigh- bor* with. With a little extra exertion, the towns \«£t ot Edsvvorth could d> it alone, and bmv E Isworth t * build to-

expense of one. Kllsworth will be railroad center.

Such arc some of the arguments urge.I i by the friends of the (‘.inline K >a<l. W e

^ do not venture to pronom c-judgment. but

wait fur further discussion. Oilier schemes

may be more feasible, and the triends of

this may be over sanguine. We see no

objection however, to •. the Legislature granting them the opportunity a~k» l for.

an article evidently from the pen ot Mt Hale him ■elf, sharply rebuking rhe Press and The Whig for the angry in.muer in which they are pursuing _

the Senatorial warfare.—i.Bangor Commercial. It is wonderful what strange idiosyncrasies

these Democrats have. An article, the whole tenor of which, was in no way unfavorable l

to Mr. iiaiu in, is construed by the t ouitn *r-

cial a- “m universii rebellion breaking out !

hv having the article on “The Senator ques- tion." attributed to the pen ol Hou.fclugene lia e

truth compels us to sav that Mr. H. did not

write it, nor has he ever advised or dictated what should or should not appeal in the columns of the American. Mr. Hale is our

Representative, wo are his constituents. It is for ms, not for him to direct.

He |>erfonus his duties, wo perform our-.; He is responsible for his acts, we arc, for ours. If Mr. Hale is a candidate for Sea .tor we do not know it, am} if his nam; ha* been mentioned in that connection, »>y his f. ien Is we are vatis- fied that it is without his ku jwledge or dediv. Consequently we are inclined to think that all attemp s by friend or fo to fiist tin* name

of Mr. Hale into this cauldron of ebullition will signally fail.

Winter is ti|>uu us nmv l.i earnest, and It'we li ne neglected to be ready fur the coii! and snows of ttiis inclement season, we mud *ufiVr the cou«‘fjueucp«. Last year, at this lime, there were hundreds of a« re* of roots and garden vegetable* frozen in and covered with snow, but with such a fall as we have had t!»i* year, there i* little excuse for being behind with the harvesting or other fall work. All the p oughing should have bceu finished, In- >t a 1 of running the risk of open weather t<*r doing it now. Still, if the ground re- main* oj»eu and ther e is any work of the kind left unfinished, not a day, nor an hour Aiould he wasted until it is dosed up. Sometime* one can plough a few hours in the middle of the day, even though the ground may he frozen in the morning. Think of ail the work which ought to l>e done, and then do that lirsi w hich needs doing most.

At present price* of p*ok and lard, there appear to be gieaVr iiidut <‘incuts for keeping swine, than for several tears past. Many will go into 1 k rai-ing now. and perhaps the muuber ni.i he s<* gn at that, within less than two V‘rs. th«* market will break again. The

‘te*t plan is to keep about the smmenum- 1 all iIn- time, and then take the market as we lind it.

general rule we would not keep many more s wine tban enough to use up the refuse a.'id Wastes of the far in. If doe* not seem like very good economy to feed to a hog t* n times a* much value of food a* the hog w ill «G iiil when tatted, fls js often the cum " ben clear corn or meal is given, but if the greatet portion of the pork is produced I•1 *ni in -k, or other material which would otherwise be uasted, the transaction is

If you have never \ practiced it. suppose you make the Trial of! feeding f»ut twice a day. It i* a good time ! now to begin, the days are short, and by j let-ding only at morning and at night we

an have the miJdie of the day to work while the sun shim*.

We have never known a man to try feed- ing but twice a day, who went back again to the old practice. It i* much more con- venient for the farmer, and we believe bet- U r lor the cattle.

WOODLANDS.

'I be winter i- the only sea-on of the year when tin- farmer cm afford to spend hi* time in the wood*, unless he make* a

-penalty o: the lumh.-r business. Pu re will tie many* days, the coming

winter, wh-u the cold wind- will he too v« re to 11 low woiking in the open field-,

yet iu the wood*, among the tab tree*, one

may do a goad day's work w Ulimit di*- < m.ort. If *u*e would be successful, he

!d keep watch of the tendencies uf the ag1 i which he 1 v *. A lew y» ars ago, people were anxiously won 1 .Ting where

Verv ft v families who buy their furl, at tie present time, burn wood, and in the vicini- ty of r.mroad* anJ large town*, many of the farmer* who own exteu-ive tracts of woodland are letting it stand while their io*»:ii-are heated by coal lrom the mine* o l*eun-yIvauia. Now. instead of cutting our woodUud over clean, a* often a* the trees are Urge euough for fuel, aud forcing tiie wo 4 upon a dull market, would it not be better to go through once iu five or t- :i Vea-- and cut out lii*» iumerlcet and tl»t* uutiirifiy irees f<#r fuel, a»j«l turn it to the beat u*e possible, while the valuable timber is left to jrrow until it becomes of suillcient to command n jroo<l price and a quick sale lor machanical purposes? It seeuis to u* that irood timber of a.l ki'i-U will become more ami more valu- able, for a lou^ time to come, and that it Will pay to treat our forest trees as we Would any other farm crop.

If timber is to be cm tor home use, or for the market, the earlier in winter tt is on the road the better, while the ground frozen *oliu. The first snows of winter generally give the best sledding.

It d»*ad stuff i^ to be cieaued up for fuel, it should no cut and p led n«*w. before deep snows cover it.—[Extracts from X. E. Farmer.

Why the Butte'Diia’t Come. They have a new hired girl over at Key-

sers farm, ju-t outside of New Cu-tle. and on I’uesday. before starting to spend the day Willi a friend. Mrs. Keyser instructed the girl to whrtewa-li Ihe kitchen during tier absence. Upon returning Mrs. Key- ser found the j >b completed io a very Satisfactory manner. Ua Wednesdays Mrs. Keyser always churns, and last Wed- ue-d,i\. when she was ready she went out, and. tiudiug that Mr. Key ser had already put the milk into the churn, she began to turn the handle. This was at 8 o'clock ill ihe morning, ar.d she turned until 1U without any signs of butter appearing. 1 h n -he railed in the hired man, and lie turned until dinner time, wheu lie knock- ed off with some very offensive language addressed to the butter which bad not yet come. Alter dinner the hired girl took hold of the crank and turned it energetic- ally until 2 o’clock, wheu she let go with a remark which conveyed the impression that she believed the churn to be haunted. Then Mr. Keyser came out and said he wanted to know u hat was the matter with lhat churn, anyhow. It was a good enough churn if people only knew enough to work it. Mr. Keyser then worked the crank until 3 :30 o’clock, when, as the but- ter had not come, he surrendered it again to the I ired man. because he had an en-

gagement with a man in the village. Tile mau ground the machine to an accompani- ment of frightful imprecations. Then the Keyser children each took a turn lor hall an hour, then Mrs. Keyser tried her hand, and when she w as exhausted she again en-

listed the hired gkh who said her prayers while she turned. But the butter didn't come. When Keyser came home and lound the cliusn still in action he blasted his eyes and did some other innocent sweat ing, and then he seized the handle and said he’d make the butter come if lie- kicked up an earthquake in doing it. Mr.

Keyser effected about two hundred revo-

lutions of the crauk a minute, enough to

have made any ordinary butter come irorn the ends oi the earth; and when the per- spiration began to stream from him. and still the butter didu't come, he uttered one

wild yell of rage and disappointment, and kicked the churn over the fence. When Mrs. Keyser went to pick it up she put

was. Tlie «r!«-J had mixed the wMtnwa«li in the churn and left it there. A Iiom-.t. and iuU-lllgent servant who knows how to churn can timl a situation at Key- set's. There is a vacancy.—[Max Adder.

J A New GltAl’E.—A seedling of the Con- 1 cord is now being introduced by tbe origi- nator ot tlie Delaware* ot whi h marvel- lous tilings are said. It is much larger Ilian the Delaware. re5emhliug it in flavor, and ripens a lortnight earlier than the Concord.

—According to an English agricultural journal the potatoes which have proved must successful iu the north of England

—The Lewiston Journal days:—“We j understand Mr. Geo. E. Brackett of Bel- j fast, is prepared to lecture the coming ! months upon the subject of cheese-making i by the factory system. As a member of ; the Uoaid of Agriculture, and An the columns ot the press, Mr. Brackett has been for several years an earnest advocate of this branch of Associated Dairying."

—The agricultural paragraphs in the western newspapers aie becoming every

j day more alarming. The latest is from ilie Milwaukee News, describing a beet ou exhibiliuu at the office of that journal, raised on a farm not far di-tant. which "weighs il pounds and i ounces, ami is of tile variety known as the sugar beet.— i hiee hundred bushels were raised ou a bait acre lot, the smallest of w hich weighs a pouuds."

—As a successor to artificial hotter we have now an article of artificial clitese. The ex|>erimenl of Us manufacture has been made in Tompkins county. N.

Tlie cream is therefore taken from the milk and made into butter, and the skim- med material is made into cheese by tlie addition of a pure and wholesome, but cheaper oil.

—Commenting on the efforts to turn the current of trade trout accustomed channels “by putting it into the hands of State. County atid Grange agents,” Mr. M. L. Dunlap says, in the Chicago Tribune, “They must only end iu disappointment, as these new men have little experience, and sometimes less Integrity. More than fifteen years ago this same plan was start- ed in Chicago, of Farmers’ Co-operative Associations for the sale of farm-products; but every instance of tbe kind eude^.in a failure, and frequently a swindle.” /

We have heard many commendations of t llie Henry F- Miller piano fortes, which I have been kiudly loaned by the mauulac-

Hirers lor several entertainments here. l'lieir purity and brilliancy of tone have attracted considerable notice.

j

From the W oman’s Jonrnal,

Th* Miller Pianos excel In tlie beauti- tul quality and richness ol their tone; in their action, which all professional musi- cians proi.ounce unexceptionallv superior; and in their elegance of design and work- manship.

Providence. K.'I., Oct. 10, 1872.

Boston people are very particular, and among them are some cxelleut judges of musical instruments. Is it then remarka- ble that the school committee selected the Miller piano for use in the public schools? Boston is not alone in tills. More than lilly academies and schools in New Eng- land are doing the same thing. These instruments are llrst-class In every re-

spect, and they are deservedly popular.

From the UKKisllnsthl A Bcntdrr,

Boston. March 2, 1871. The Henry F. Miller Piano-Fortes.—

The instruments ft out this establishment are rapidly coming into public notice

1 and favor, and already occupy a foremost posttinu among llrst-class pianos.

Mr. Miller is himself a practical mechan- ic, and a thorough musician, mud the su-

periority wbicli these pianos have over oth- ers, is owing in a large measure to the careful supervision which each instru- ment receives from the manufacturer be- fore it is allowed to leave Ids establish- ment. The award of the contraet to fur- nish the public schools of Boston witli

Si alios must be very gratifying to Mr. Idler, and is a testimony of Ike musical

public to the high position which these iustrumeDts occupy. The severe test that they have received at the New England Conservatory ol Music, and at many oth- er public institutions where they are in constant daily use. Is a gua-tutee of their many excellent qualities, and especially of their durability. They are used and rec-

ommended by moot of the leading must lane of Boston.
