‘ROPES OF WEAKENING FRANCE BY A WAR WITH oMINa. , A dispatch via French Atlantic cable to the New York Herald from Berlin, June 16th, says: ‘The great Reichskanzler has just added another Yeaf to his lanreis. He has carried his budget in the face of the violent opposition of the na- tional liberals, who see in Prince Bismarck’s schemes to obtain an independent revenue for | the empire, by buying up railroads, creating to- bacco monopoly and the inauguration of a pro- tectionist policy. a deathblow to all hopes of Tepresentative government in the Fatherland. The parliamentary session closes this year, as hitherto, with the martial strains of the kai: wer’s message, which recails the days of imperial Rome. DEFEATED PROGR! ISTS. Prince Bismarck’s victory, together with his suddenly throwing over the progressists and siding with the ultramontaues, with the view of establishing a modus vivendi with the vati- can, has completely cut the ground from under the feet of his adversaries, and, to quote the expression of a moderate German paper, sounded the death kuell of German liberalism. Cassandra-like warninzs, nevertheless, are pre’ alent. The conservatives are warned that their success forced Fdward Lasker across the At- lantic, and now Rudolph von Benuigsen, who Is regarded as head and shoulders above all ofher German liberals and as pre-eminently the man of the future, has become wearied and discour- aged at the up-hill task of making German rep- Tesentative Institutions a reality. At last he has Tetired hopeiess from the struggle. DANGERS ANHEAD. Prussian junkerdom is told in plain words that the gradual removal of wise and moderate statesmen of the Von Bennigsen type is fraught with the gravest peril to the whole social fabric of the Father!

Such is the picture held forth by the lib- eral press. FOREIGN RELATIONS. The outlook in foreign affairs has a far more brilliant aspect. Since the Congress of Berlin every Bertiner is accustomed, with natural pride, to flatter himself that all the threads of the European politics are converged in the kaiser- stadt. Bat now China is brought within the focus of Berlin statecraft, and the center of gravity of the great Asian mystervis transferred to the banks of the Spree. The great chancel- lor’s fertile brain is now seeking diversion in the intricacies of Tonquin and Annam. Count von Hartzfeldt is busy with dossiers day and night concerning the Franco-Chinese imbroglio. Prince von Hohenlohe, the German ambassador to France, has been summoned to advise the chancellor. Herr von Brandt, the German minister at Pekin, is now here, and the arrival is expected of Marquis Tseng, the adroit Chinese plenipotentiary, who once spoke of Bismarck as the great wall of Ger- many. It is believed here that if Prince Bis- marek really wishes to prevent war between China and France he can do so, and it is ditt- eult to see what he has to gain by precipitating or permitting hostilities. A peacefal solution is hoped for. A PLAN TO WEAKEN FRANCE.

As the boat put in at James’ Landing, Ark., ‘we saw four steers tied toa fence, and every Passenger at once carried nis chalr over to the port side tosee the fun. If there is any fun about steamboating it is to load a number of stout steers, with wild eyes, long horns and Bandy legs. They don't accept circumstances, and they have no romantic notions about sailing up or down the Father of Waters. As soon as the plank was lowered the mate and a dozen darkies started for the cattle, the officer singing out: “Look alive, you niggers! On with ‘em now— what are you doing?” With a great deal of hooking and prancing @rd shouting and kicking the first steer was aboard. When the second was tackled e braced his legs, held down his head and six men could not budge him. The mate went eround behind to twist his tail, and as he gave a twirl at that aseful appendage he shouted out: “Now, then. every nigger break his back! Up With him.

Outside of the regular actual church services, clergymen have to perform many duties con- nected with the church, such, for instance, as funeral services, -baptisms and, above all, wed- ding ceremonies, which are supposed to be the happiest and merriest of all. The clergymen, however, do fot always take it in this light, ‘Their fees are not frequently paid as soon as the bans of marriage have been completed, and in very many instances where they are paid they are considered unsatisfactory by the officiating clergymen. Some of the clergymen attached to high-toned churches, however, make a large amount in the shape of wedding fees, and when the marriage is of one situated in the easy po- sition of a Vanderbilt or Astor, it is considered quite a harvest for them, as they do not often set such a windfall. as they term it, They, like the sextons, consider this one of the most im- portant items of their pay. The marriage fee is, in most instances, not a fixed one, but is left to the liberality of the par- ber ir position in life being the guiding “star. A PROMINENT SEXTON INTERVIEWED. The writer interviewed @ prominent sexton of a well-known fashionable up-town Episcopalian church on this interesting marriage fee ques- tion, which may furnish good god for those who are about to enter the blissful state of matri- mony. Priests belonging to the Roman Catholic chureh are not allowed to receive fees for wed- dings, but they receive money, however, by way of benefiting the church, and when personal ser- vices are required of Cardinal McCloskey or Archbishop Corrigan, the amount presented is generally liberal outside of the expenses attend- ing the organist’s or sexton’s fees. On such oceasions as these the sum of $560 is not con- sidered a very stiff price, and by some quite a boast is made about the sum paid the clerzy- man for performing the nuptials. ‘The ordinary fees paid inthe Protestant and Presbyterian churches average $20 to $50, and in some in- stances go as high as $100 with well-to-do peo- |* ple. But then in the poorer parishes on the west and east sides the amount dwindles down to $5 to $7 and even $3. With the average middle-class Catholics the fee paid is generally $10 to €20. Ordinary mechanics pay $5 for the ceremony performed. It frequently happens, however, when it is known that the parties are in poor circumstances that the clergyman does not accept any fee whatever. “What is the usual system of paying the fee among the high-toned ciass?” “Well, it often happens that the sexton has a check given him made payable to the clergy- man, so that in reality no cash transaction takes place between them.” SPURIOUS CHECKS. “Of course, you have never heard of any check being returned dishonored?” “Well, Ishould smile if Ihave not. Why, I know of plenty of such cases, and by parties who were supposed to be well connected and dressed as if in good circumstances. When the check ts presented it happens that the bride- groom has drawn nearly all of his money from the bank cr that it is returned with the indorse- ment ‘No account.’ This system of paying is often carried on in what are called runaway or secret marriages; but what can the parson do? The knot has been tied, and he can not undo it, though the check should prove worthless. “One clergyman states that in the course of ten years’ ministration he has been called upon to marry from ninety to one hundred couples. In numerous instances the parties never gave him or the church acent, even though the: came to the church doors in carriages, with silks and satins and fine broadcloth.” “How are the Hebrews on paying the rabbi?” “T understand they are very liberal, partic- ularly it the parties are in good circumstances. The rabbis get from €10 to $300 for their ser- vices. z “The fees are considered to be higher at such churches as Trinity. Grace, St. Thomas’ and many of the like standard. The clergyman con- siders these small perquisites, and either gives | th them to his wife as ‘pin money’ or provides for himself a handsome library by degrees. “Many curious stories are related in the way of how clergymen of all denominations are duped or not paid a fee at all, and perhaps no man can tell more stories in this respect than Dr. Houghton, the genial and obliging clergy- man of the ‘Little Church Around the Corner.’ ” “How much does the sexton expect to re- ceive?” was asked. WHAT THE SEXTON EXPECTS. “All depends on the church he is attached to. As arule, the more fashionable the church the higher the amount paid is expected to be. Some of them make a good round sum, and it is inti- mated that in some cases where the clergyman’s fee Is handed to the sexton by the bridegroom he does not always hand over the actual ‘tips. In this way he secures a double fee. In such churches as Trinity, Dr. Hall's, and the like, the sexton expects from $10 to $30 as his fee tor opening the church and cleaning it up after- ward. Then there are what are termed inci- dental expenses, such as the organist, assistant ushers, and gas bills, which easily run up an account of from $40 to #50 outside of the cler- syman’s fee.” When Catholics marry Protestants a dispensa- tion has to be obtained from the bishop or cardinal. In these cases a fee of $10 or there- abouts is always demanded as ‘dispensation fee.” Sometimes the mayor is requested to receive afeefrom the intermarrying parties. When Mayor A. Oakey Hall was in office he used to nd the amount over to the boys in the office, it is said that ex-Mayor Havemeyer used to pocket the amount so that his clerks should not suet exhilarated over the event, and very fre- quently he would steal a kiss from a young bride. Mayor Edson does not receive any tee, but a fee is paid tothe clerks for making out the marriage certiticates. This is divided among them for lunch and cigars. Therefore these ceremonies are never objectionable. Mayor Edson pertorms his duty with becoming and serious dignity, but has not yet been known to touch the lips of any fair young bride or maid who has appeared before him tohave the mar- riage ceremony performed.

Williams yesterday and asked him about the possibilities of adulterating lard. “Oh, it ean be adulterated with water, Mis- souri clay, tallow, and other things.” “Have you ever run across adulterated lard?” “Yes.

White mus- lin balls have been found insipid. They can only interest mammas and protessional match- makers. A young and well-brought-up French demotselle is not a person with whom to while away an hour agreeably ina ballroom. She ts only out to be married, and in a business-like way, just as a lamb is taken to fair or market to be sold. As she can have no voice in the matri- monial negotiations, of which she may be the object, it would be worse than useless for a caya- ler to attempt to impress her favorably. When not dancing she sits still and tries to look vacant. ‘The rose bail is another thing. ‘‘A rose,” in the ball room slang of the day, means a very young matron. It not being allowable to peer into birth certificates “roses” are classed atcording to the number of years they have been married.

Pink, it is found, is not becoming after thirty. Ladies, therefore, of a ‘certain age” are excluded from rose balls. Fetes of this kind are too often given by charming beings who look best in a roseate hue. Invitations are gen- erally limited and those favored with them are selected because they will look frightful in the pink livery that is de rigueur. A sallow face will be at a dreadful disadvantage; so will be a pen- sive countenance or one that grief has touched even without spoiling. There are insigmficant blondes who are utterly effaced in the fresh brightness of a pink party. ——_____+e-______ What Nihilists Will Do. From the Pall Mall Gazette. We subjoin the concluding portion of the let- ter, dated Rome, May 24th, of the Russian nihilist “Stepnaik,” author of “Underground Russla,” the beginning of which appeared in our coiumns last Friday. “Matters stood thus up to-1877, when the war h, Turkey broke out. The influence of that ir was decisive, first, because it showed every- body the blemishes ot the hideous Colossus with the teet of clay, Russia; and, secondly, because it brought the officers of our army encamped beyond the frontier into contact with a country of liberal institutions, and gave them full liberty to satisfy their curiosity by reading prohibited books coming from Geneva and London, which were exhibited in the windows of all book- sellers, And it should be noted that the books most popular with them were not the purely socialistic works, but those which demanded, above all police liberties, a constitution, the calling of & national assembly, &c. The offi- cers were evidently neither so young nor s0 inflammable as the youth of the universities, who form the great mass of the readers of pro- hibited books, and they felt already at that time what the revolutionary party recognized three years later—namely, the impossibility of taking asingle step toward the social vindication of the people before having acquired political lib- erty. This possibly explains a fact which greatly saddened us revolutionaries at the time. At first the war seemed not to have produced in the army any such notable change as we expected. The officers showed themselves just as unwilling as ever to make common cause with the reyolu— tionaries of that time—the advocates of agra- rian socialism. But events of such importance do not happen without leaving their traces, and the influence of that war remained latent, await- ing its opportuitity to show itself. In fact, in proportion as the political element developed itseif in the programes of the socialists, the ad- hesions among the officers increased, and the first military ‘circles’ among the garrison ot St. Petersburg and the sailors of Kronstadt were founded even during the reign of Alexander IL, as was seen afterward in the trial of Sukanoff. “after the accession of Alexander III. this germ developed into a great movement. With his childish cowardice he rendered himself con- temptible to the soldiery, wno think personal courage Is the first of human qualities, and wounded their honor most deeply by his dis- trust of them. The officers of the Guard, be- fore entering the palace, were searched by the police like thieves, for fear they should have a weapon or a bomb concealed about them. The emperor did not even stick at unworthy subter- fuges to deceive his ‘faithful children,’ as the Guard are called, and to escape their manitesta- tions of loyalty. One day, after the great re- view of May. while all the officers were await- ing at the gate of the palace the departure of their czar, in order to salute him, he left the palace secretly by another gate, in another car- Tiage, and the officers, after an hour of idle waiting, were informed by a chamberlain that his majesty was already many miles away. It is easy to understand the resentment which such incidents must have produced. The general discontent felt everywhere, and affection for a country oppressed by a stupid, greedy, ignorant Camarilla, combined themselyes with the senti- ment of disgust which this shameful govern- ment excited, and goaded the officers to ally themselves in great numbers with the revolu- tionary party, which fascinated them by its splendid courage, and was the only one which for gO many years courageously kept the field against autocracy. “‘We will make no Indiscreet revelations. We will only say that the revolutionary organization in the army, composed exclusively of officers, is specially wide-spread in the capitals of proy- inces, with ramifications in every important country town. It is composed exclusively of officers of all ranks, including the commanders of numerous independent bodies. Private sol- diers do not belong to it, but every officer seeks tohave among his privates menin sympathy with the revolutionary ideas. The members of the organization are completely independent as regards their internal discipline, but are collec- tively, as well as individually, bound by a solemn oath to appear at the command ot the execu- tive committee at the time and place agreed upon for the revolutionary work, together with as many soldiers as they can induce to follow them. The numerous political trials of late days and the numerous arrests fn various regi- ments of the army have drawn the attention of the government and the public to the evident progress of the revolutionary idea among the military. Jt is the participation of this new element which has determined the important change which we indicated at the outset. With the powerful reinforcement which the adhesions on the part of the army give and with the uni- versal discontent prevailing, it would be a poor thing to confine one’s self to acts of terrorism, and this is why we see their place being grad- ually taken by the idea of insurrection pure and simple. We cannot dwell upon the change for want of space. We will only say that at the present moment this idea is incontestably the only prevalent one. “The last program of the executive committee accordingly defines the immediate aim of the party to be a political insurrection, with the ob- ject of transferring the power to the people, (cap. HI. 8. 1.) ‘ia. Votia of the Sth of February, , is still more explicit. ‘Now,’ it says, ‘our immediate object is the re- organization of a conspiracy for upsetting the existing order of things. * * * At this mo- ment the work of the rey is principally directed to binding together all the elements of opposi- tion into one central body, capable of taking the initiative in revolt at the opportune moment,’ In a document called ‘The Preliminary Work of the Party? lately Peed in the calendar of the Narodnaia Volia, we eee unfolded a de- tailed instruction about the operations necessary to that end. “‘In view of this general tendency single acts of terrorism lose all importance and become, as it were, useless waste of force, like the skir- mishes preceding a pitched battle. They are not. indeed included, but they remain accidental or secondary acts. An attempt on the life of the emperor might be made as the beginning of an insurrectior movement, or of a bold coup @elat, but by itself It ts no longer of any impor- tance. Here is the secret of the almost absolute silence of the party for the last two years. Is it credible that they should break that silence precisely at the time of the festivities of the coronation? that the revolutionists shonid make thelr first attempt at insurrection Just when their enemy ts most on the alert? To put the question is to answer it. This is wh: webe, lieve that during the sojourn of the erial family at Moscow has will happen, and that they will return sately to St. Petersburg.” A superannuated French general, named Verneville, upon taking leave of the troops he commanded at Luneyille, the other day, made use of the following impradent expressions; “You will take a” vigorous revenge on the day when France to the courage of her ‘and ingentons, children, .

Agreeing that its highest and best observance is as a day of religious worship, and that a universal blessing rests upon ita re- ligtous consecration, they differ widely as to the ‘ways in which the day should be spent. They see very plainly that on ‘religious grounds the earlier observance of the day—the observance that held sway before the influx of foreigners—cannot be maintained. They hope for nothing beyond the holding of Sunday as aday of rest, and even here pe ae met by an almost impassable difficulty. e existing Sunday laws are not enforced, and the temper of the public is such that they are not likely to beenforced. The demand for recreation on the part of the laboring population of large cities is such that Sunday, of necessity, becomes a holi- day, and men like Dr. Robert Collyer have no heart to say that they shall be restrained by no law from enjoying themselves in this way. On the other hand, Dr. Henry C. Potter predicts that the confounding of Sunday asarest day with Sunday asa pleasure or travel or labor day will inevitably pnt a burden upon the laboring people which they will be unable to bear. and thinks that this issue is the problem of all others that awaits solution. Dr. Howard Crosby holds that “the Sunday laws should be most strictly observed, and that it is for the interest of the whole community to form a united public opinion against open stores and mental Jabor op the day of public rest.” Dr. William M.Taylorisnot sanguine about the pores of legislative enactment jn this matter. his opinion it ought to be “iterated and reiterated that the Sabbath among us is to be conserved, not by legal enactment, but by the character, example, influence and evi listic activity of the church members of: the land.” Dr. Thomas Armitage hits the nail on the head when he finds the solation of the problem in the dual character of our Sabbath, in its civil and religious bearings. The state has recog- nized the day by iaw as acivil institution for the social, moral, and political blessing of the commonwealth. ‘It 1s secured legally on the basis of economic principles. Its religious character is inseparably united with its civil privileges. The observance of Sunday as a day of religious worship must be left to moral suasion and to the healthy example aud practice of religious men. Reform by this process is slow but sure, and the Christian Sabbath is ‘“‘not lost because some of its present aspects are not of Puritan strict- ness.” The Sabbath is still retained in Ameri- can life, and the mutual action of legal and moral influences will retain its essential fea- tures for along time to come. These opinions are valuable, because they are representative. They show how different and independent minds regard acommon danger, and, with considera- ble divergence. they agree that Sunday observ- ance, at least as a day of rest and gentle recrea- tion, must be insiated on, as much for the wel- fare of the nation as for the spiritual education of the people. It does not seem as if the time had come for anything more than restrictive legisiation in the several states. As the Boston Herald says, the wisest course Is that which per- mits the largest liberty which does not destroy the character of Sunday as a day of rest. The higher observance must be left to each individ- ual conscience. oo A Stage-Coach Dialogue. Correspondence Philadelphia Press. The seat of honor and pleasure in a journey overland is by the driver, and there is always a scramble for it, and the one who succeedsin se- curing it is regarded asa lucky fellow. I got left in my contest for a seat on the top, and found myself recently inside of the stage, with a clergyman and a man whom I tvok for a miner, during a trip to Silver City, N.M. Thepreacher and I sat on the back seat and the native sat, facing us. He was dressed in the regulation costume of the country: Dark pants stuck in his boots and held up by a six-shooter buckled around the waist, dlue flannel shirt, flaming red necktie and a great sombrero. A knife was stuck in his boot, and he carried a Winchester rifle on the seat beside him. Taking him all in all, he was about as ugly looking a specimen of humanity asI have met. As the stage rolled along, the miner looked out of the window as if in deep thought. The preacher and I entered into conversation. during which he asked my business. I told him, when he asked: “Do the great papers buy literary articles?” “Yes, sir, when they are good.” “Do they pay for them Mberally?” “They do. when they accept the articles.” “well, Ihave got some very interesting sub- jects I could write about,” he continued, as the stage jolted along over the rough road, making it alittle hard to distinguish what he was say- ing. “For five years I was a missionary at Siam and saw many strange and even startling things,” “What were these scenes you refer to?” I asked, “Well, the punishment of criminals was ex- ceedingly strange and is worthy ot description. When a person is convicted of crime there he is taken out upon the public square for execution, His neck is bared well down upon the shoulders, and the executioner dips his finger in mud and with it makes a mark upon the neck of the doomed man.” “What kind of mud?” shouted the miner in a voice like a thunder-clap, while he glared at the parson savagely. I noticed that.although he kept peering out of the window, he had followed our conversation for some time. “A sort of yellowish mud, replied the preacher, evidently disturbed by the miner’s look and man- ner. But he continued: “The executioner then takes his heavy sword and with one quick and decisive Llow severs the victim’s head trom his body.” “It’s a d—4 lie,” yelled the miner, in tones that might have been heard tour miles. “The boys do occasionally hang a horse-thief there, and the town has a pretty bad name, but they never cut people’s heads off. There ain't only one sword in the whole place, and that belongs toa military captain and wouldn’t cut the head off of a turnip.” “But I was a missionary there for five years,” meekly interposed the minister. *5 “And I was a barber there for seven years, and I never shaved you, neither.” “My friend, that cannot be; for the people never shave there.” “That’s another one of your infernal lies; they’re as clean a shaven set of people as thar is inthe west. You're a nice man to be giving the town a bad name after you have left it. If it weren't kind of agin the fashion to hit a parson I'd knock your head off of yon for your lies, cried the miner, getting madder every minut “My dear friend,” said the minister imploi ingly, and evidently much distarbed for his safety, “there certainly must be some mistake. You do not mean to say that you were a barber in the kingdom of Siam, where the people never shave?” “Oh! I thought you were talking about Chey- enne,” said the miner, a8 he tell k into his chair di ited. I was the only man who seemed to enjoy this amusing incident, and even I found it 1d policy to show as little disposition to laugh as possible. The stage rolled on for miles after it occurred, and not a word was spoken by any one. The miner looked more intently than ever out of the window, and yet there was not an ex- pression on his stolid face to indicate what his thoughts were. The preacher looked as intently out from the opposite side of the stage, and I spent my time watching the miner, looking at e ing. strange region through which we were pass- —_—_—__-oo__ Life is ® Span.

The firm pros- Pered, and in its profits was laid the foundation of what afterwards became the princely Shorter fortune. Baldwin died, and the business was continued by Shorter as the surviving parzner, the widow retaining her husband's interest. Finally Shorter married Mre. Baldwin. They had no children. Two sisters ot Mrs. Shorter lived near her. They were Mrs. Harper and Mrs. Cooley, both blessed with offspring. The families were intimate, and Mr. Shorter saw a great deal of his wife's nieces and nephews. ‘Thirty-five years ago Harper, Shorter's brother- in-law, moved to Rome. Cooley followed. It ‘was not long before Shorter went to Floyd county also. He invested largely in real estate and mines, and was one of the projectors of the Rome railroad, and was largely en, in banking. Cooley and Harper ‘died. and Shorter administered on their estates. Their chtldren lived near him, and for many years some of Harper’s children were a part of his family. Shorter rapidly grew from a prosperous into a wealthy man. Eight years ago his wife died, and about the same time he founded Shorter college. His first gift was $20,000, but he fur- nished the institution with all its buildings and appliances, which cost, besides this gift, $135,000. In his will $40,000 more was given to the school, which rounded off the sum of $200,000 given for the education of the women of Georgia. Last July he died, in his eighticth year. He left a willin his own handwriting. The bulk of his property he left to the Cooley and Harper chil- dren, his residence going to the Beeland chil- dren, the offspring of a sister of the deceased man, and to Shorter college. When the will was offered for probate a caveat was filed by the children of the nalf brothers and sisters of Shor- ter. The ordinary of Floyd county probated the will over the caveat. An appeal was taken, and the case was called at the March term, and eleven days were occupied in its hearing. The jury sustained the will. Counsel moved for a new trial. This motion was called before Judge Stewart yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The value of the estate is hard to determine, ‘as it is in stocks, railroad property, and mining enterprises. There was not a work of internal improvement in the state in which Shorter was not interested. Good judges say that the value of the estate is fully $1,000,000. In its distribu- tion by the will the Cooley children received about $100,000, the Harper children, except Mrs. Hamilton, about ,000, Beeland heirs 40.000, Shorter College $45,000 and Mrs. Ham- iiton $150,000. The caveators are T. B. Burge, James Truitt, Nathan Truitt, Mrs. Priddy and the heirs of Henry A. Shorter in Arkansas. Some contest was made by the Beeland children be- cause of an alleged. change of their bequest from $75,000 to $40,000. The grounds of the con- teats are that Shorter was unduly influenced in making his will by Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, and also that in writing and putting the will to- gether some of the pages were so misnumbered as to make the document invalid. —$—<o._____ ‘The Farmer’s Lawn. A bit of smooth turf is ornamental and use- ful, attractive to the eye, and an adornment and advantage to every household. Few farmers have time to ornament one very extensively, but, as the American Cultivator says, a good lawn can be made at comparatively little ex- pense. and can be kept in good order even with- out the aid of a lawn mower. In the first place, one should learn that it is poor taste to plant flower-beds directly in front of the house. They give a much better effect if planted at one side and 4 little inthe rear. Have the yard In front of the residence a smooth plane of grass, with a few neat shrubs or trees scattered irreg- ularly upon it. Make no pretension to geomet- rical forms in walks or flower-beds. Trees look best in the yard if not set in regular rows. If thus set, one vacancy or one ill-looking tree will spoil the effect of the whole row. The sim- plerand more natural thearrangement the more pleasant the effect. It is not difficult to make a good lawn. Inthe first place, a good foundation should be pro- yided for the grass. Though this is the most important. yet this is the part usually neglected. The ground should be made rich and level. even if it occupies two or three years. Plow it up, harrow and rake it over carefully, manure well, and manage to have the whole thoroughly sub- ducd. This done. sow a very liberal quantity of grass seed, and sow it by itself. It will do Just as well, or better, than if sown with oats or wheat; under such a practice no old stubble will remain on the ground. Sow grass seed at the rate of a bushel or more to the acre. The Inore the better, for the sooner the sod will be grown. It does not pay to sod the yard unless one isina hurry for the lawn. Sodding is ex- pensive. The borders of the walks may be sodded, however. The sods should be cut al ten or twelve inches wide and rolled up from beneath with a spade. Ten or fifteen feet ot sod may be rolled up into one roll, and it can be un- rolled again on the border. Sod is usually cut too thick. An inch anda half is thick enough. When the sod is laid it should be pounded down as much as possible. A very heavy block of wood with a handle is good for ramming down the sod, and the latter will be much more apt to grow if well attended to in this respect. The sod borders shouid be lower than the surrounding lawn, for the loose soil back of them wiil be sure to settle an inch or more. If the sod is cut thin and well Jaid, it will be almost sure to grow well. June grass sod is best foralawn. ‘This is the same as that-sold under the name of Kentucky blue grass. Timothy and orchard grass are not good for lawns, as they form clumps and soon make the ground uneven. A light dressing of fine and well-rolled ma- nure every spring is desirable. It is useless to apply manure when the ground is frozen, as it is usually washed away before the ground thaws out. The lawn once made, the grass should be cut frequently. This can be nicely done witha sharp seythe. The oftener the grass is. mowed the stiffer and more even the sod will become, and the more the grass will tiller out. A lawn prepared and kept in this manner is not expen- sive. Children soon become interested in work of adornment, and will keeythe yard clear of rubbish, and the flower beds. if there be any, in good order. Such work is an educator and an element of refinement. A flower garden or a fountain is by no means essential to a beautiful lawn. Indeed, they often mar its best effect. Too few in number of Ornaments on a beautiful sod is better than too many. Two or three small, neat patches of flowers at one side contrast nicely with the sward. Too zany Spee coor eto raise only the well- an len flowers. ‘ree orfour kinds are better than twenty. The farmer should learn that simple ornamentation is not expensive. A simple,neat arrangement is cheaper and more pleasing than cumbrous, pretentious and expensive system. rn as ‘Without a Hitch.
