If a farmer is a judicious manager and has a correct understanding of all the details incident to raising coarse grain, maintaining tbe^ertility of his land, and making beef, mutton and pork, he can make more money by having bis grain consumed at home and changed into meat than can be made by selling it. In a practical point of view this is nothing more than what farmers on the Western pru nes are in the habit of doing every year. When their corn is abundant and cheap, instead of paying the rail road companies two bushels to convey one to market, they turn it into pork, and in this condensed form ship it all over the Union, at a profit. Farmers in Europe can buy wheat cheaper and better than they can grow it, whilst they can raise the best beef and mut ton in the world, and enough of it by simply putting their wheat fields into grass. We can furnish England with all the wheat she wants with less trou ble and risk than wc can ship fresh meat, though wc have an abundant supply of beef, pork aud good ma nure. By the introduction of steam power to such a vast extent as it is now em ployed, in propelling ocean steamers and i ail road cars, space has almost been annihilated. The high price of farming land in England, added to the uncertainties of her climate, makes wheat the most precarious and unpro fitable of all her agricultural crops. The average annual wheat defiency of England is estimated at 90,000,000 bushels, and Mr. 8cott thinks that this dcficnoy or the greater portion of it may be obtained from the United States, Russia, however, would supply a large quantity. It is quite probable that England would largely profit by this change, as she would thus be able to raise her own meat, and obviate the necessity of importing cattle and pre served meats from abroad. In order to derive the greatest possi ble advantage from the practice of making beef or mutton to sell in lieu of coarse grain, the manure made by live stock must be husbanded and ap plied judiciously to the soil. If neat cattle are fattened on coarse grain produced on a farm, and their mauure is wasted, the practice of making beef will end in a grievous failure.— Prac tical Farmer. HOW IT WORKED.

The companies lmve felt so serious ly the popular action that they have tried to stay the tide against them by reducing the price of gas to $2.25 per thousand feet to the city and $2.50 te priyate consumers. 8o far they have failed to arrest the indignation of the public, and cart loads of meters are being daily returned to the gas houses and lamps and oil continue to be sub stituted. The City Council has done away with lighting lamps In front of churches and has ordered coal oil lamps to be placed in the suburbs, thus reducing largely the quantity of gas used by the corporation. The war lias been an earnest one, and the arro gant extortionists who have lorded it so long and insolently are ready to make the largest concessions to cure the epidemic their own greed pro voked. Mr. Blaine's "little bub,'' Master Mule, of Maine, since any appeal to that extremity on which he wears his hat is vain, should have his intellect and sense of decency stimulated by an application a postsriori of a slipper or some light weapon of reproof. The impertinence of the young man in in troducing a buncombe specie resump tion resolution "to have an expressson of the opinion of the House," is ren dered more delightful by remembering that on Friday last, when the Diplo matic and Consular Appropriation bill was put on its passage, he piped: "Let it go through without the yeas and nays," Mr. Morrison will have the support of all sensible men in treating such silly resolutions as they deserve. The Democracy is responsible for the legislation of the lower House, and when it brings forward its "caucus measure,"Mr.Hale will have an oppor tunityofmoving his amendment. When ever thcseMaineKadicals are invited to place themselves squarely on the re cord, they either dodge, as Mr. Blaine did on the third term motion, or else with a pitiful squeak swallow their own speeches, as his "little bub" did last Friday.— World. Saved by bis Wife. In North Carolina, a man named Stamper, was sentenced to bo hanged. HU wife went to bid him farewell, and changed clothes with-him. He walked out, Bobbing bo bitterly that the guard* Î ïitied him, unde he'seaped. The sheriff bund only the wife, who was of course released. THE VX/litPAIRKUVOXEl IJEXcE MAX (Jon. (Irani's testimony to the char acter of Babcock is at host a little am biguous when one considers the source Ho does not say, "I have known Bab cock very intimately for twelve years and never knew him to lie or to take a 'gift,' or to steal or to join a combina tioa to swindle," but he says, ''I have been intimately associated with him for 12 years, and have learned nothing calculated to impair my confidence in his integrity "-which is avery different thing. For it takes so very much more to impair Grant's confidence in certain people's integrity than to impair the confidence of the average man that this testimonial does not go very far. It will be remembered that Williams, who had prostituted the Department of Justice, received a similar testimo nial. llelano, who was forced to resign by a liowl of indignation at hU steal ings, had done nothing to impair Grant's confidence in his integrity.— Mr. Harrington, while on trial in the Criminal Court for safe burglary,with a tissue of facts amounting to demon stration against him, was invited to the White House hospitalities, because he had done nothing to impair Grant's confidence in his integrity. Shepherd" has done nothing to impait Grant's confidence in hjs integrity.— Mr. Schenck, who now defends him self from criminal arrest in England by his privileges as embassador, has done nothing to impair Grant's confi dence in his integrity. And it may be said in general terms that the more fla grant arid open are tlie evidences of the guilt of a pors»nal friend, tlie less Grant loses confidence in bis personal integrity. It will thus be seen that open bran ded criminals, whom all decent people have hooted out of sight, always retire with a certificate of good character frem the "Great Silent Man." He loses I confidence at once in pure-mind ed, capable and patriotic men like Motley, Adams and Bristow; but De> lano. Shepherd, Schenk, Barrington, and all the rest bring out the full fia vor of his loyal heart. "He "put his foot down" and would not abandon Delano or Williams "underfire"—said "fire" being tlie public indignation at the proofs of their iniquities. And he seems to think this a very noble trait of character—this cleaving to scoun drels and despising the indignant voice of outraged decency. It is as though he boastfully said: "I will stick to Schcnck and Harrington, and Shepherd and Babcock unto death; (hat's the kind of a man l am." "Bosh CtirlHtInncy'M Courtship. [Anna S. II-, in Boston Trans :ript ] Senat« Washington, February 8.— * * * Had the leaning spire of the Metro politan Church suddenly fallen, crash ing out the last discord of its chimes, it would never have startled so much as the announcemeii of Senator Chis tiancy's marriage. The old gentlemen has moved about so like a shadow, drooping his head in deep meditation, sitting quietly at his desk during the hours of Senatorial work, and never once suggesting to any observer that in that slender frame there could be any hiding place for romantic ideas. But when Senator Christiancy return ed from the holiday recess, fate sent him to procure rooms at Mrs, Choate's on Indiana avenue. Rooming in the same house was a demure little Dotty Dimple of a damsel, with innocent blue eyes, fair hair, waving back from a fairer forehead,and a general sugges j tiveness of petability. She had a way of curling herself up in great chairs or nestling in sofa corners that was very charming; so the grave Senator turned from abstruse political conun drums with an indulgent smile, to watch the young lady. Fate chuckled and made opportunities for frequent greetings that «hould involve hand clasps, and the thing was done. Don't you know how much there is in the merest touch of a velvet palmy So, when our Senator took in his own that warm, soft, little morsel of Miss Lillie's there crept through all his nerves a little thrill, so delicious that, like ... , . , . ., , . I "lf r WI m 1 ', 10 'nvoluntarily asked for "more; then, growing still more covetuous, lie wanted the sole right to the aforesaid little hand, and in a month from the time they met, the mamentuous question had been asked, and answered with a sweet shy ••Yes." That was two weeks ago, but nobody guessed the secret. The little maideu went daily to her duties in that forlorn division of the Treasury known as McCarter's Bureau, till the 1st of Feb. resigning then, she hag only spent a week in preparing to join the Senatorial circle, and this morning there was a quiet wedding, making of Miss Lillie Lugenbal Mrs. Judge Christiancy! About as much difference in the re lative social position as in the age of tho high contracting parties, for the Judge is sixty four und his bride not yet twenty. There are six children by the former wife, who only died nine months ago. Advancb in the Price op Ick.— Tlie rise in the price of ice in New York, which has been for some time impending, was announced to go into effect yesterday. Sixty cents p hundred pounds is to be hereaft charged to private families, nnd forty cents to the large caFh trade,including butchers, pork packers, restaurant keeper and others. This is an advance of 100 per cent, on existing prices. The New York Times says it is acknowl edged on all hands that unless the weather changes entirely, aud contin ues more than odrinarlly cold during tho next four weeks, there will be little or no ice gathered in that latitude. Already the dealer» along the Penob scot and other rivera in Alaine are hoiding their stock in expectation of a heavy rise, and cannot be induced to sell except at the highest prices. er ter
