Thev can be had at the same price as
plain ones, and when you visit the lato
Whig party they oil the hinges of aris
tocratic doors ana iaciuiaxe an inter
view If that is desirable. But consid
ering our brief existence and Its uncer
tainties, such as ferry boats, railroad
collisions, Tammany securities,- and
r Erie stock, one wonders at anybody
wishing to know the late v nig party.
' It lives In the person of the Hon.
John B. Buntvwafir. The Hon. John
B. has been in the Senate of the United
States. Ills father was in the Senate
before him. He is educating his son
for the Senate, and it is proposed, so
long as a male heir is furnished the line
who escapes the lunatic asylum or the
refuge for hopeless imbeciles, to have
a a. a
a lsuntywag inuiai nonoraoie position.
As the only qualifications necessary are
the name and intense aigmty.tne train
ing does not call for much expenditure
of brain.
i Last summer the Whig party visited
various public resorts. It could be en
countered at any fashionable watering
place. It was no tea for its dignity ana
reserve. It was always uneasy lest some
low fellow, male or female, ; would
speak to it. Were any such to address
this tunny it would immediately laii
from Its high state, and be lost forever.
The conseouences were that the Banty-
wag fkmily,anticipating8uch ruin, was
continually on the defensive. In the
morning the patriarch would put on
with his clean linen an additional coat
6T dignity. He would starch up as it
were, ana marching at the head of his
little force, descend with great caution
to the breakfast room. Every move
indicated an apprehension that the en
emy micrht rush out from around a cor
ner and suddenly sneak to some one of
the family. This was provided for.
This was guarded against, II any low
wretch dared attempt such an outrage
the family was prepared to annihilate
the vile creature.
' Some envious- peoplo insinuate that
the progenitors of the Buntywags were
soap-boilers. This Is not so. TheBun-
tywacrs never had sense enough to be
soap-boilers. The great progenitor of
the illustrious Buntywag was a casual
ty. He was an undertaker hence the
cGiroifled training of the family. He.
fell heir to a man who, dying of the
smallpox, cut off his family and left his
means to his undertaker. Old Bunty
wag invested In real estate. The real
estate went up, carry wiin it me iann
ly. This is the whole story and not a
very entertaining one but illustrative.
The present family of Buntywags is
timid. The Whig party always was
timid. When the slavery agitation
came on, the Whig party deprecated it,
and said the agitators were low fellows,
and ought to be discountenanced. If
they were properly discountenanced the
agitation would cease. The old Whig
" scow resembled the venerable gen tie
man f who going on ship-board, put on
his nightcap and retired to his berth.
When the storm came, he sent word to
the captain to stop that hollowing, as
he could not sleep, and for heaven's
sake keep the sailors from running
about the deck, as they shook the boat
so it made him sick.
: Mr. John B. Buntywag and family
were traveling for pleasure. A more
unhappy set were never caught abroad.
Fear, we are told, is contagious. Mr.
Buntywag took the disorder and gave
it to his family. .They could not sit
comfortably in the cars for fear of col
lisions. They drank bad brandy and
starved themselves into hideous head-
acnes irom iear 01 cnoiera, mai was
three thousand miles away. On steam-
, boats Mr. Buntywag and his interest
ing: family slept in their clothes, twisted
thiough their life-preservers, each for
fear of explosions. Mr. Buntywag, once
a gentleman of weight, was losing flesh
i every two minutes, his cood wife had
; screamed herself into the bronchitis,
his two admiral daughters were all the
while looking around for something to
, be frightened At.

' his appearance. Somewhat short in

gave out an idea that he was indulging
1 in a very genteel mode of suffocation,
i or every man his own eallows. Mrs.
Buntywag .was a delicate lady of re-
fined sensibilities. The two daughters
were promising girls promising I say,
for as yet they presented the appear
ance of only two very fine frames
having shot into womanhood without
waiting for the underpinning, framing,
or plaster.
The party arrived at Niagara one

MR. BUNTYWAG VISITS THE SUSPEN
SION' BRIDGE AND CREATES QUITE A
SENSATION.
Our hero issued from the Cataract
House in state the neckcloth tied
tighter than ever the two two daugh
ters marched before he had his wife
under one arm, a good stick under the
other. With the husband-at-common-law
the wife and stick always go to
gether: at least they do in Blackstone.
Mr. Buntywag is an old-fashioned hus-band-at-common-law,
had his . eyes
about him. and saw, on the railway
before the hotel, a huge blue box. to
which were attached two horses, while
a man stood on one side ana blew a
horn. Between every blast he sang
out- . To Suspension Bridsre, Maid of
the Mist, the famous Whirlpool, Brock's
Monument, and other riatural curiosi
ties all for one dol-iari" our rnena
did not understand, but he guessed it
was to co somewhere. The thing look
ed safe, and Mr. Buntywag seated his
family and himself, and the nuisance
I mean the box was puuea away. '
After a" short ride, the little party
were brought in sight of the Suspen
Kinn BrfdVe. that like a net scarf was
Anns' over the rrreat eulf below. Mr.'
B. prepared to. cross the two daugh
ters walked : before he had the wife
under one arm, and the stick under the
other. At the moment Buntywag and
Cimlly Inyaded the bridge a large num
ber were promenading to and fro, and,
an old lady known by
JUrs. Bwansaown, was
slowly wending Its way towards
the
Canada side... o
The sublime viewiroke on Mr. Bun
tywag's sight, and he became alarmed.
He look way down, down in to . the
rlpntha where the blue waters were
boiling and tossing like millions of
angry devils. What a narrow 'pas
gage what thin threads held them up

His heart throbbed his brain became
confused. , He quickened his steps he
poked his daughters with his stick
they pushed on. The walk turned to a
run. With a short shout, now frantic
with fear, he pulled his wife along", and
poked and beat his daughters, who
screamed terribly. The visitors seeing
and hearing this awful uproar became
alarmed. They thought the bridge was
falling, and fled amain. The Women
screamed and the men shouted. The

adding to the, terror after he had

spected Mr. Buntywag over the bridge
had not Mrs. Swansoown created as
she was in the habit of doing a diver
sion. Attempting to get out of the
hack window, she stuck fast, and half
in and half out, she screamed dismally.
The crowd laughed, and Mr. Buntywag
escaped. f

deriner Jew visited Niagara he was
whipped by a hackman, and so cheated
and ill-treated that he made sixteen at-
tempts at suicide by leaping over the
falls with a copy of Bancroft's united
States tied to his neck.. !
Two days after the stampede on tne
suspension bridge, Mr. Buntywag and
party for he now had Mrs. swansdown
under the protection of hi3 paternal
stick might have been, seen picking
their way under Goat Island Cliff, on
their road to the Cave of the Winds.
Custom had imparted some confidence
to Mr. Buntywag, and he bravely, led
the van. But when, turning a corner,
he came in full view of the American
Falls that came down at" this place

with a roar like fifty thousand wheel-
wuiuci i'" 1
Buntywag called a halt, and shook in
his boots.
At the extreme termination of the
path on which they, stood, a ledge of
rocks projected almost into the Falls,
in fact, upon a portion of them the wa
ter fell, and was dashed into silvery
pray from their slippery sunace.
These rocks have a few feet of even sur-
ace, and upon it, at the moment the
Buntywag party came in sight, a young
ady. of slight and delicate form, stood
alone. Her bonnet was thrown back
her black hair falling in confusion
about her neck, her beautifully chiseled
face turned upwards, with an expres
sion of childish delight and with her
hands clasped, she stood an exquisite
figure of life sculpturing; not that she
ooked too spiritual in the midst of the
awful war of elements. With her face
to the Falls, at her side the Cave of the
W inds kept up Its eternal din for the
winds, forced by the flood into the
Cave, gathered power every few min
utes, and broke from their imprison
ment with a shout like thunder. In a
moment she stepped lightly upon the
path, and taking the arm of a gentleman
who seemed much amused at this spec
imen of childish daring, they walked
away. ? j
A notion of immense bravery entered
the soul of Buntywag. He seized Mrs.
Swansdown's arm, and ere the old lady
was aware, had pushed her to the ledge,
of rocks, where our little heroine had
so lately stood. His huge stick contain
ed an umbrela in disguise unscrewing
the top, he drew out the shade," and
hoisted it above their heads. - But the
fates that tumble over the Falls were
againt Buntywag. A gust of wind sef z-
ed a fold of the "snowy drapery," and
flung it over the devoted couple. Th
frail umbrella was beaten down the
water came in torrents and Mrs.
Swansdown, thinking the last day had
surely arrived per telegraph, threw her
arms convulsively around Buntywag,
and fell upon him. Buntywag, who
had his hat beaten down over his eyes,
when the old lady came upon him gave
up his knees failed, and the unhappy
couple fell to the earth. Still grasping
the broken umbrella, our hero looked
very much like a drunken Neptune try
ing to shield from the rain a corpulent
Naiad. It was scandalous.
Two men from the neighboring lodge
rushed forward, and seizing the unfor
tunates, dragged them over the rocks
into the path. Mrs. Swansdown open
ed her eyes, and exclaimed, with much
indignation
"Drat tliat man ! he'll suffocate mo yet.'

Fattening Poor Cattle.
We frequently see a miserable, half-
starved bovine without a particle of
flesh on its bones but what muscles will
hold its frame together, and having a
hard unyielding skin covered with dirt
and scruff, put up to be fed for the
butcher on dry hay, to which a few
roots and perhaps some grain is grudg
ingly added. Such a beast will take
months of time and a large consump
tion of food to bring it up to the point
at which the process of laying on fat
will commence ; or, if highly fed on
corn meal or other rich food, will put
on a layer of fat just under the skin,

Alkalies. I
Why do you put lime with your
manure when composing or preparing
it for application to your fruit trees,
vines, ana vegetaDie garaen? jtsecause
it is the recommendation of ! writers is
not a sufficient answer. We reply that
lime has been found to be the best al-
knU. or nn alkali in the best condition
to supply the demands of vegetation :
the readily appropriated by all
kinds of fruit bearing trees, vines and
plants. And the need of an alkali of
some kind for making vegetables,trees,
&c., give an abundance, and perfect
Eroducts, arises from the fact revealed
y chemical analysis,that lime and pot
ash exist in them. Your soil, must con
tain all the substances that enter into
the growth of vine, tree and j plant.and
the fruit and products of them as well.
The fruit of all these imperatively
demand an alkali. Pomologists advise
dressing the soil of the orchard with
lime, when trees become ! barren of
fruit ; farmers advise a top
land sowed to wheat when
dressing or
a sufficient
straw can be grown, yet the heads do
not fill well for the reason that lime is
needed to perfect the grain.! Old soil
exhausted of its lime and potash, or new
land when your vines are at fault in
setting and perfecting grapes will be
improved by a liberal addition of lime
and ashes. Fruit and Mine Reporter.

Fcnces.
The fences of the United States have
cost more than the houses, cities inclu
ded ; more thans, hips boats and vessels
vessels
of everv description which sail the
ocean, lakes and rivers : more than our
manufactories, of all kinds, with their
machinery ; more than any one class of
property, aside from real estate, except
11 limy ihj nit? ramuiuia ui uui wuuuy.
In an article on this subject, the Peo-
nle's Journal savs that the first cost of
the fencing in New York was between
one hundred and fifty and two hundred
millions of dollars. Assuming this to
be approximately correct, and estimat-
r. s a l t r i.1 Ci J
in"r ine nrst cost 01 iences 111 ouierouiws
on the same basis, we have as the total
first expenses of the fences of the coun
trv. the vast sum of $1,26G,000,000. -1
This will require to be renewed at
least once in ten years, and this gives
an annual expense of $129,000,000, with
a very large sum to be added for repairs
constantly needed. This makes up a
formidable aggregate.
In Europe, where very few fences are
found, there is no inconvenience felt by
the people. There, the annual tax our

ery improved land, the cost of fencing,
is not known. Here, the income tax
is much more man tne aggregate 01
State and local tax.
In Missouri and California, the advo
cates of a reform in fencing laws are
making vigorous exertions to accom
plish their purpose, and every day pub
lie opinion is growing stronger in lavor
of the change. Here,' in Kentucky,
where the suggestions are novel, and
the people r ave not thought on the
question, the proposition may be some-
wnat unpaiataDie; dui ine time win

The Fatiguo of Washing Day no. Longer
Dreaded, but .Economy, fc.lucioncy, ana
Clean Clothing1, Sure.
In calling public attention to this little
machine, a few of the invaluable qualities,
(not possessed by any other washing ma
chine yet invented,) are here enumerated. !
j: It is the smallest,, most compact, mont
portable, most simple in construction, most
easily operated. A child ten years? old. with
a few hours practice, can thoroughly com
prehend and effectually use It. Tlicro is no
adjusting, no screws to annoy, noj delay in
adapting 1 It is always ready for use! It
is a perfect little wonder 1 It is a miniature
giant, doing more work and of a better
Suality, than the most elaborate and costly,
ne naif of the labor is fully savpd by its
use, and the clothes will last one-half longer
than by the old plan of the rub board. It'
will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts
at a time, washing thoroughly ! In a word,
the ablution of any labric, from a Quilt to a
Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are
equally within the capacity of this LITTLE
OEM f It can bo fastened . to any tub and
taken off at will. j !
No matter rhow deep rooted a pseiudico
may exist against Washing Machines, tho
moment this little machine is seen to per
form its wonders, all doubts of its cleansimr
efficacy and utility are banished J and the
doubter and detractor at once J become tho
fast friends of tho machine. ,1
We have testimonials without end. setting
forth its numerous advantages over all oth-j
ers, and from hundreds who h;5n thrown
aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which
have sicrnal I v failed to accomnlish the ol-
ject promised in prominent and loud sound
ing auvenisemenis. . ; i . ,
It is as perfect for washing as a wrincer is
for wringing. The price another paramount
inducement to purchasers, has been Dlacod
so low that it is within the reach of every ;
housekeeper, and there is no article of do-.,
mestic economy that will renav tho small
investment so soon. m m m
' ' '; ' $5.50. ;
All that Is asked for this GREAT LARoft
SAVER, is a fair trial. Wo guarantee each
machine to do Its work perfectly.
