O-enor.il Proclvifo Dealer, J This is a subject not worthy of our at-tention,
except to urge the inpottanoe
of having a plenty of water.
Mr. Quinn—-Ify experience is that
cattle require water often. As a mem-ber
of this I'lub 1 must protest against
the cruelty of recommending the con-trary.
It is true that in feeding roots
cattle will not think often, for the rea-son
tliat they pet. much in their teed.
In training horses, muscle is developed
more, if water is limited ; but to pro-duce
flesh or fat. which is a main point
in the care of animals, water is an ab
solute necessity.—Tribune

DO CALVES STEED WATER.
A la.ly of Atlantic. City inquired
Whether some calves which she saw in
a lot every day did not want water,
there being none in the lot, anil the
statement being made by the man in
charge that they needed none. This
drew out quite a discussion.
Mr. < Jaywood—When there is a
plenty of good grass, young, and even
old cattle, will do well without water.
I have kept a number on a mountain
tarm for months where there was no
water, and they did well. In 30 II. of
green forage there are 30 II, of water.
Dr. Snodgrass—When prize lighters
are in training they are deprived « Lol-ly
of whiskey, and to a great extent of
water. In this respect we are taught
a lesson, and we ought to be willing
to receive it. I think very little water
myself, and then only at meals. Young
Stock do not need water, nor iu par-ticular
do sheep, and goats seldom or
never drink. One reason why cattle
drink water is because they have so
much salt. In like manner men drink
whisky and use tobacco, and overload
themselves with poison then they want
water.
X. C. -Meeker—Some years ago Syl-vester
Graham taught that we would
In- better oil without water, also that
we should use no meat, butter, salt,
tea, coffee, or spices of any kin.l —
Now if he was correct as regards man.
and our friends are correct regarding
cattle, then- must have been some i.iis
take in making water at all.
Mr. .T. ('. V. Smith—1 knew Dr. Gra-ham
personally: he conseientionsly
lived up to his theory, ami he should
have lived long, but he tlied compara-tively
young. Paracelsus, that great
alchemist who professed to be able to
perform the most wonderful cures
without regard to known methods, and
principally by a wonderful Elixir of
Life, dietl himself before ho was .rd>.
with a bottle of his Elixir in his pocket.
Now. as regains cattle thriving any
great length of time without water it
is impossible, because they are not so
constructed as to be able to do so.—
There are two, and only two animals
which form a •xc.ption; these are
the camel and the blood leech. I have
before described to this Club the con-struction
of a camel's stomach with its
pouches for holding water, and they
carry enough in these to last 10 days,
as lean testify, having myself traveled
in a caravan across the Arabia.. De-serts
this length of time. When the
medical leech is put on he fills a series

A friend, who has lately been on a
visit to the •■ Hub of the Universe,"
writes us thus: "Ihavejnst seen a
very pretty and fanciful idea developed
on pears and apples iu the orchard ol
a friend at West Uoxbury, Maasachu-settH.
As you ratable among the trees
you are ever and anon saluted by an
inscription upon the fruit, done sis it
were by the hands of nature herself.—
On some you filial the names of Sey-mour
and Blair, for our friend is si
staunch democrat of tin- conaervative
or State rights school. Hire you meet
with the familiar name of Mary or Alice,
or a date (1868)—-iu brief, even thing
that max suggest itself to your tsiste
or fancy, and all done in the skin of
the fruit, without abrasion or any
foreign iiupressitm. The discovery was
made by the Ibm. Arthur W. Austin.
of West Roxbttr) in lsoi-vc. He oh
served dining the former year that
apples did not redden in that part of
he fruit where a leaf happened to lie
upon it. In 1831, he cut out letters
from neuspapent, and when the apples
were yet green, he pasted them upon
them with paste such as the npotheea
ties use. made of (iiirn Tragacanth.
The apples would redden in all parts
not covered by the {Misted letters.—
When the fruit had reddened to per
leetion the letters were removed, and
they would appear permanently out-lined
in gret n. So. again, when he
pasted on the apple, a paper in which i.,.
Ihe letters were Ctrl out, the parts
covered by the papir would be green
and the letters would appear, distinct-ly
turned in red, the green ground sur
rounding them. The experiment is a
very pretty one, and produces a happy
effect. Let our fruit

To soe tho girls come tripping post,

Who longed to sec mo get the mitten.
Hut no, she blushed and took my arm!
We let the old folks take tho highway,
Ami started toward the Maple Farm
Along a kind of lovers' by-way.
1 can't remei.il.er what we said,
T was nolhing worth a song or story ;
Yet that rnde path by which we sped

Where that delicious journey ended.
She shook hex ringlets from hoi brow,
And "ith a '-Thank you, Ned." dissembled ;

With what a darling wish I trembled.
A cloud passed kindly overhead,
Tho iu,-on was slowly peeping through it,

"Come, now „r never! do it! *lv it.'"
My lips till then hadenly known

When they do so, I prefer to enjoy my

waut my pastor to come to me iu the
spirit of the Gospel, saying : You are
mortal; your probation is brief: your
work must be done speedily; you are
immortal too. You are hastening to
the bar of God ; the Judge standeih be
fore the door. When 1 am thus ad-monished,
I have ho disposition to

Mr. Webster, have often occupied my

FOREIGN' VIEWS OF '• RECON-STRUCTION."
The Washington correspondent of
the London Daily T.legrapk, writing
December 2M, has the following:
•• Some lime ago the Congress int-r-dicted

the oi her day this restriction waste
pealed the reason being that the State
governments of six of these ' recon-structed'
States are in the bauds of
■loyal men.' as they are called. I
Should be sorry to think, however,
that the persons iu charge of these
governments give a fair sample of the
temper and purposes of Conntjnr. r
This organisation of militia in Tennes-see
under Governor ltrownlow has al-ready
been attended by the most fear-ful
outrages; ami now we have reports
of a band of live or sis hundred such
•• militia" iu Arkansas, who an-repeat-ing
on quite a large scale the deeds of
Morgan and his buccaneers—killiug
plundering, ravishing without stiut or
mercy. Roth white and black demons
are united in the atrocities, .bulging
from the accounts already received,
this arming of the blacks has turned
out precisely as was predicted by those
who know how easily the African is

which characterized him ill his native
wilds. The State being4 reconstruct
ed.' the request ofthe people thus out
raged for the protection of Federal
iloops has not yet be.'ti grauted, and
there seems no power at hand adequate
to interpose as mediator.
■•Such is 'reconstruction,' In the
State of Arkansas, while in Virginia,
which is reported by the feder.d com
inaiider as an orderly and peaceful
district, ' reconstruction' is so far only
in embryo; but Judge L'nderwood is
at hand to say what ho would ha\e it
io be. His programme reads like a
carnival of crime, and the most direct
mode is taken of bringing it nlnmt by
ordering the release of all murderers,
burglars and thieves in the pkniten-tiaries
of Virginia, upon the plea that
the judges before whom Ihey were con
vietcil were disfranchised by the con-stitutional
amendment."
