Every one should' know that: kindly treated animals will do their beat for their owners. ' A curious case happened re cently, wbicn may be given as an exam pie. A noted trotter wag driven in a race by a strange driver, rbe horse was evi dently' dissatisfied ' and lost 'two heats. The old driver knew the horse could do better, - and begged the owner to be per mitted "to drive him. lira entreaties prevailed, and when he s mounted the sulky the horse whinued with pleasure ana won the next three beats with ease, making ench a record that the owner .had an offer of fifteen thousand "dollars for the animal: It is always thus.' Alarm horse kindly treated will ' do, 4 more, work than one1 which is not attached to the owner or driver. ' A cow will lose' milk when , at tended by a strange or disagreeable per; son, and one that is' petted and treated 'ilh gentleness' will never exhibit the common fractiousness of kicking', or hold ing up the milk. This is true of all farm animals,-who return kindness .with' affecr tion and -generosity, and abundantly , re pay' the ' consideration ' shown them by their'owners.' Every boy .especially every farmer's boy, should early learn to treat alt aniniaU with kindness. ' '' " " , If it were possible' to rise above the atmosphere which surrounds the earth, we should see nothing but an intense and sharply denned ball of fire,' while every thing else would be wrapped ' in total darkness. There could be no diffusion of lisht without an atmosphere or some similar medium for it to act upon; but if the air about us extended' to a' -height of seven hundred miles, the rays of the ' sun could not-penetrate it and- we would be left in darkness. 'At the "depth of 700 feet in the ocean the light ceases altogeth er, one-half of the light being absorbed in passing through only Beven feet of the purest water. Pure Reliable Drugs i At WILDER'S .

' " t A New; jSewing Machiiie -kokoK .'i j An exhibition of a new motor tor sew- tog macnines " was given to-oay. ipe motor is run by two cells ' and is Claimed to be the first successful one of its kind. The method" is exceedingly simple and can be readily 'understood. The battery is in a box twelve inches long, twelve inches high, and six : incheaj wide.: . It is an ordinary zino and carbon, batteryi the solution being maiuly : bichromate of pot- aso; xne cnemicai is mrnunea in sona cakes, and .is, easily handled.. .The cells are square, with handles, i and when the solution is. exhausted they are taken but, the cake of bicromate la. put .in, with sum- oient water to dissolve it, and -the battery is all ready for running.. 1 he motor is attached to the sewing machine by a thumb-screw' and is connected' with ; the battery by two wires.--;- J - A handle is used for raising and lower ing the zincs, and the speed ot the ma-, chine can be regulated by ' the depth to ! which they are immersed in the solution. A speed varying from 250 to 1,000 revo lutions per minute ' can be - obtained. About eight hours continual- running -ex.-. hausts the solution, when 'it must be re newed. .The zincs last from six to eight weeks when in constant use, and they can be renewed at a small cost. ! For ordinary family sewing the charge will last' three weeks. . lhere is no chance ol shock from the battery, as the current is so low-that it is an impossibility. The estimated cost of running is three cents per hour , when in use. The motor itself is as little liable to get out of order as the sewing ma chine,' and there seems to be a probability that a domestic problem of very, general interest has been solved at last, satisfac torily.

He was fearless and constantly exposed" ' to danger, . but his constant escapes made him cool and self possessed, and the admiration of his men. He was excited by the events which were hurrying the war to the close, and he watched with intense -t earnestness : the several assaults which were made on the works. Once he had dismounted and was standing by Generals Knox and Lincoln at the grand battery. , It was not a safe place, for, though they were behind a for tification, it; was quite possible for shot to enter the-opening through which they were looking. One of his aids,growiog nervous, begged him to leave,' for the pl&oe was very much exposed.

By Maj. Robt. L. Ragland of Granville county .1 ' After curior. 'as soon as the tobacco is sufficiently soft to move,' you may ran; H up in the roof of the barn . and crowd: it close, or if the barn is needed . for otfiei ' curings the tobacco may be carried to the ,tbraee barn or bulked down in any dry house on the premises. ' But be sure that nothiog is Jbulked with green' stalks i 6i swelled stems, for if such are placed down in bulk it will bo sore to beat and utterly J ruin. , - u -, ? -.. a i ' ' I .If, after the tobacco is cured, the weath- er remains dry and it fails to get soft readily, so that it can. be. moved, it may be brought in order ic. the following way : Place green bushes with the leaves on over tVta flnnr and snrinVla wotsr nvar lliLm Copiously: if the tobacco s very dry and the atmosphere contains' but little mois- ture, and if the weather is cool,'8 ti little fire kindled in the flues will assist in mi ingthe tobacco soft.' Stiaw wet. or made so, will auswer the same" purpose. If the j weather is damp, there will be no neces sity to use either straw, brush 'or' water. But : when it is necessary to : use any means to order tobacoo, it is best to ap ply them m the afternoon, that the to bacco may be removed the next morning. If Ahe weather continues warm, damp or rainy i : tobacco that remains hanging will be apt to change color, ' unless -dried out by flues or charcoal. When this be comes necessary, build small fires at first, and raise the heat gradually. ' " , : f- . Stripping-Tqbtooo should never, ;be stripped from the stalks except in pliable order, and the leaves on every plant should pe careiuuy assorted, and every grade tied up separately. Usually there - will be three grades of leaf, assorted with refervl ' - .... : I ence to color and size, and two of lugs.; ut leat tie six to eight leaves ma bundle j and lugs eight to ten. , As fast as y 6u strip, either hang the ''hand yy on, sticks- twenty-five on eacli stick and hang op' or balk down in- two jayere, the heads of hands or bundles facing outward. The latter mode ia best,1 if yon intend r to f svU in winter order loosed on - the warehouse floors'. If bulked down watch' frequently to see that it does not heat. ' If the bulk becomes warm' it most be broken ' up, aired and rebulked or bung up if too Bolt. It Is safer always to hang up as soon as stripped, tinless yon design' to sell 'soon, and strike down 'in1 "safe-keeping" 6rder, id spring or ' summer: It is considered in safe order" whea- the- leaf is pliable,'! and the stem will orack half way down way from the tie. . lit--:. 'Packing. r-If you Be ml I09.se,; deliver in large uniform piles such . will cost less, and your tobacco . bring j more in price. But to sell in a distant , market, pack Jin tierces half hogsheads make the bestabd cheapest to, weigh about; four hundred pounds nettaking care not, lo press jthe tobacco so as to bruise it, or. pack it too closely together. '' The best leaf is 'wan ted for wrappers, and it must ! open easily when shaken in-the hand. Pack 'one grade only in each tierce, uniform in color and length; bat if it becomes necessary to put more than one grade in a tierce, place strip? of paper or straw between to mark and separate them. Pack honestly, for honesty is the best policy. The man who "nests" his tobacco will certainly go oil the "Black List," and buyers have good memories. '"'' ; " ' ' . ' : . If your tobacco is fine, sound and nicely handled,, you will have the satisfaction of getting, at the least, a remunerating price tor j, it, although , poor, and , nondescript stock may be selling for less than the cost of production. . ; The world outside of .this I country .makes, as a rale, low grades plenty,, and at a cost to raise much ; less than we, can ; compass. We, must plant less surface, .manure heavier, . ana culti- yate and manage better, if we would get the best prices. :. ,v . a Proper Answer. . p Gov.
