Two more contested election cases have been decided giving the Republicans two more Beats in Congress. One of these will be occupied by a colored man from Virginia. This takes from Cheat ham the distinction of being the only colored man iu Congress. Let it be remembered that the 29th at Richmond will not merely be the occasion of the unveiling of the Lee monument, but the reunion of the survivors of the glorious Army of Northern Virginia. Every man should be in his place who can possibly get there. "The streets will ring with the rebel yet, and Confederate music fill the air." It has been announced that there are to be two prize fights in Vir ginia, in both of which John L. Sullivan is to take part, but the Richmond Dispatch says: "The Virginia law against the brutal so called sport of prize fighting will not be violated with impunity if the courts of the old Dominion know themselves, and we think they do."

Charlotte Chronicle. It is well said, by a Richmond paper, alluding to the occasion of the unveiling of the Lee monument: "The occasion warrants the use of "the stars and bars" the Confeder ate battle-dag, '-the Bonnie Blue dag," and all the other insignia of our heroic but short lived republic. The exhibition of these banners will not worry any sensible person. If they should irritate some par tisan now who was a non combat ant from 18C1 to 1S65, well and good.

V. D. Koonce, Pres E. L. Feancks, jr., Sec'y. The Only Protected House. A little invalid boy lay in a villaee that was on the line of march of Napoleon's army while retreating from Moscow. Everyone who had the strength to fly, tied "We are all safe," said the mother, ''God will not forsake us, He will bniid op a sore wall of de fence.'' "But what can help ust Who can delend us from the wild soldiers? "asked the boy. Some of the villagers burned their houses or dis mandtled them. The old were placed in wagons and the young hnrried their families away with them. The morning came of the day that was to bring the dreaded enemy. The mother and children opened their eyes to find that a "sure wall "had indeed been built for their defence. The snow had begun falling the evening before. Through the night it had collect ted rapidly. A high wind had blown the snow in drifts against the low honse, so that it had en tirely covered it. Every honse was ransacked; all the wealthier ones deprived of their lnxnries, and the poorer ones robbed of their necessities. But the low roofed cottage lay sheltered be neath its wall of snow, which in the night God built around it. "The World Owes Me a Living." Far too many people say ''the world owes me a living."' There is more sound than sense in the expression. The world can only owe us for what we have done for it. lie who still believes that the world is owing him, may as well understand that he must use force with the debtor to secure payment; and you had better be about it or you will get left. Granting the world does owe you a living, you must work to make the world give it to you. Even if he world did owe you a living some would be too lazy to collect it. Some people never learn that they must work for what they get in this world; that they cannot get something for nothing. Those who try to get a living without work never suc ceed. They generally get into the penitentiary and there work for what they get. The world needs men of genius, but the highest type of genius is spelled w-o-r-k. bo do not hang around waiting to go into partnership with Mr. Luck, for Mr. Luck died with the last century. Neither wait, like Micawber, for something to turn up. Micawber found, and you will find, that it is better to go right 'to work and turn up Aml; ; something. .

She presided over her household with grace and diguity ; but there was no unbending in her conduct towards her husband, although she was most careful ol his comfort, aDd Btudionsly polite. Inconsistent as it may appear, this behavior was anything but agreeable to Mr. Markham, al though he admitted its justice. He became suddenly punctual in his home engagements, was seldom a moment late to dinner, and seemed desirous oi making all possible amends for the past. Mrs. Markham was scrupulously exact about e,c-ry domestic ar rangement, and after those duties had been performed, without word or hint, either withdrew to her own drawing room, or made one of a gay party elsewhere. !n one or two occasions, l': ..i.k at tempted to de molish this icy biriier, but words and protestations weie useless. The invariable reply was: "Yoa kno.v ou found love had no abiding place here. Don't annoy me with your querulousness." Three months passed in this miserable manner. Frank grew pale and distrait. Neither business nor pleasure had any charm for him. Minnie kept on the even tenor of her way, apparently un conscious of the change iu tne manner.of her husband. "I shall start for California next week, Minnie,'' said ho one evening, after several ineffectual attempts to engage her in conversation. Her hands closed spasmodically as this announcement was made, but the proud woman controlled herself, and not a muscle of her face moved, as she replied : "Very well. Is there anything I can do to facilitate your prepara tions T" "Yes, dear," ho answered, draw, ing near. ''Tell me you love mc a little just a little, Minnie." "For shame, Mr. Markham ! Boys and girls, you know, make a fuss about love. Sensible persons never do." "But Minnie," he contiuued. lie was tx late, for Minnie, with a gesture ot nnpatier.ee, rose bur - riedly and left the room. Everything was awn ready for his departure, and there only re - malned the parting bet weeu this estrangeo uussaan ami wue. "I am going now, Minnie ; will you give me one pleasant word f" he said. "Certainly," she re'olied. "Several of them if you like. I wish you bon roynge and a sale leturn to votir native land." You will wiite tome, Minnie?" and his lips quivered. "Certainly, since you desire ir, with a great deal id pleasure." For a moment he pressed her hand, but seeing no sigu of relent ing, he hastily lefc the room. "Oh heaven help me!'' moaned Minnie, and throwing herself upon her knees beside the bed she poured out her sonl in passionate laaienta tions. "Oh. heaven ; send him back to me ! Mv heart is breaking. Why did I let him go ? Oh ! I love him more thau all on earth !'' "Minnie ! Minnie ! my own pre cious wife !" "And the next moment she was in her husband's arms. 'Uariing, 1 came baft lor my valise, and overheard your heart- broken petition. Heaven has an- swered it more quickly than yon expected. Let us be thankful.'' And two heads, never again to be raised in pride and defiance, were ievereutlv bowed. - Everv day is a little life, and our i whole life is but a day repeated.

The simplest way to measure the rate of plants growth is to mark lines with jet black India ink on roots growing on wet niter paper. There will be found to be marked variations of ;rate growtn, even when all necessary conditions are seemingly the same. Perhaps these depend on ioheritence. The supply of water to plants through their roots is alway more abundant when the soil is kept (rariE; hence, when plants begin to wilt, mere warming the earth a round the roots will sometimes cause them to revive.

No! withstanding all our boasted modem improvements, the an-cier.-s were far in advance of us in their facilities for bathing. The famous Turkish bath is only a survival of what was universal among the Arabs. Nearly every Oriental religion incorporated bathing into its ceremonial system. All wealthier individuals among h istern nations, including the Jews, had private baths in their houses and ponds in the gardens, while extensive provision was made for public bathing. Says the Times and liegister: "ipsanms Agnppa built one hundred and seventy free baths in one year. Other baths were pro vided for those who were able to pay, the price being equivalent to oue cent of our currency. Neariy every well to do householder had his own private bath. From the time of Augustus to that of Con stantine fourteen hot baths were erected in Rome, each one of wliich accommodated thousands of bathers." Within the last fifty years public baths have been established exten sively throughout England and Scotland. They wholly, or nearly, pay their expenses. They provide not only for bathing, but for the rapid washing aud drying of clothes. Says the journal before quoted: "Iu Eussia the poorest peasant could not don bis holiday attire without resorting to hiB village. bath. These baths are found in every Russian village. The bathers, after being steamed and soaped and rubbed with coarse towels and beaten with softened birch twigs, and from time to time drenched with cold water, ending with a dash of the same, will frequently go and plunge into a pond or roll in the snow." In comparisou with such oppor tunities, the arrangements lor free summer bathing iu some of our American cities seem meagre enough, while in others ample pro vision is made. Iu Boston, for ex ample, there is an abundance of free swimming baths for every part of the city. True, iu the better class of homes there are ample conveniences lor bathing all the year round. More over, the importance of personal cleanliness has now been so long inculcated that most of the people manage to secure it with very inadequate means. But all this is vastly short of our needs, and equally short of our ability. Whoso much as the poorer people ueed the year round public bath houses? Their unclean sur roundings make the need an imperative one. Only somewhat less so are the needs ofthethous ands of respectable people crowded into tenement houses. In England wealthy and benevolent citizens anticipated the government in establishing public bathing facili ties. Iu this country we have a large and open field for similar effort by men of large purses and large hearts. Honest. "Ho is actually so honest that he ought to be put in solitary con finement I" said an exasperated man of a neighbor who was always telling him unpalatable truths. The offender was guiltless of a desire to offend; he simply could not refrain from speaking wiiat was in his mind. There are sentimental oc casions when most of ns actually do prefer an embroidered state ment to literal fact. "Shouldn't you know a lock of my hair any where. John t" queried an affectionate ydnng -wife, whose tresses were her husband's pride. "I think I should,'' he returned, cautiously, and she broke into a cry of real dismay: "Oh, don't say that ! Say you know you should!" But John was not to be persua ded. He merely thought so, and that only would he assert. "I shall think of you constantly," said a lady whose first novel was in press to a departing guest, "un less I get my proof sheets !" It was a very affectionate hus band who ottered the most literal interpretation of sentiment on record. "I believe," said his wife, proud ly, after some great instance of his unselfish devotion, "I believe you would let yourself be cnt into Inch pieces for me !" The husband looked doubtful. "Make the pieces six inches, Mary,'' he returned, honestly, "and maybe I could stand it. ' Feople often say they cannot apeak or say much in meeting. No wonder they have nothing to say who daily read twenty columns of newspaper to one square inch of Bible. Trolltable Poultry. There is money to be made in chickens, but beginners cannot expect to get rich at it the first year or two. Usually it takes that length of time to' learn the first lessons of poultry raising tnoroughly. A great many young people go into this branch of farm work, imagining that it is easy compared with other departments of farm labor, and that it pays better and sooner. Such impressions are likely to be followed by disappointments. The successful poultryman needs capital to begin with; plenty of grass and woodland; a thorough knowledge of his business, and then the willingness to work indefatigably. Poultry raising is now divided up into two general branches. One man raises nothing but fancy fowl for the market, while another breeds common stock. There is no doubt, that fancy ' fowls pay better than ordinary birds that have no great name and good points. There is quite a demand for fancy birds for breeding, and even in the ordi nary markets of our cities they command high prices. As a rule their meat is of superior flavor and tenderness, and like the canvas-back duck, they are sought after by the epicures. Their eggs for breeding purposes frequently sell for several dollars a dozen, which, if there is a steady market for them, would make the business a paying one. But breeding fancy poultry has discouragements aud drawbacks too. The field is a limited one, and is nearly full now of active competitors. Longer study and experience with birds are demanded., and great care and experience in tending them. They are more sensitive to neglect than other fowls. By ordinary and common stock I do not mean poor breeds of fowls, nor mongrels, but the practical, every day-breeds which go about their business to lay eggs and to fatten up well for the markets without strutting around to show their "fancy" feathers and shapes. Many kinds of poultry are included in this list, and every poultryman knows what ones are good prac tical layers. In selecting breeds for laying it may be laid down as a universal rule that the best breeds are those which are best suited to the climate in which they are kept. Different locali ties require different breeds, and to this may be due the conflict ing reports from all parts of the country concerning certain well known kinds of poultry. The Leghorns are good layers but they do not lay equally well in all parts of the country, and under all circumstances. They do better in warmer climates, although the double comb vari eties will do better than the single in cold weather. As soon as the eomb of a Leghorn is frozen it ceases to lay. If the fowls are raised for the markets the Plymouth Rocks carry a double recommendation with them. They are good layers, and they have a fine, uniform appearance when dressed for shipment. The Brahmas and Cochins are so slow of growth that many do not like to raise them for market, but they make a handsome fowl when fully matured. In selecting breeds for profits those should be chosen which are peculiarly adapted to any particular sec tion of the country, considera tions being taken into the ques tion of their fitness for market, time of maturity, hardiness, lay ing qualities and disposition. 1ms is but the first step in rais ing poultry for profit but it is the most important one.
