The president yesterday pardoned
Paymaster .1. II. Hodge who was con
victed about a year ago of embezzling
about a half million of government
funds. On thu trial he acknowledged
his crime, and voluntarilly turned over
to tbo government his private property
by way of reparation, his wife insisting
on surrendering ber individual property
for the same purpose. Hodge is now
a broken down ruined man, thu victim
of New York brokers and sharpers who
ucd him. To a man whose previous
character was so high ho has indeed
been severely punished by the degte
datiou that bo has brought upon his
innocent family. It is reported that
the government intends to use him as

by him. The government has nerer

PHKPAItE FOB WINTEIl.
" lu time of peace prepare for war,"
is an old and wi-e maxim. It i often
too late to prepare for a conflict when
the emergency has actually arisen.
tVnil o iu all matters pertaining to the
farm, time must be taken by the fore
lock and preparation untile for the fu
ture, or he who neglects to doit will
find him-elf among the unfortunate.
Fanning, from the beginning to the
end of the year, calls for forecasting as
much a for bard work. The mechanic
may put off his work to auothcr week,
and suffer no loss; but iu farming
everything must bc done at the right
time, or the opportunity is lost for the
vear ; and many things must be done
before the time of need actually comes,
or they cannot be done at all. This is
especially true of work to be done iu
anticipation of winter. During the
month of November, even to the last
of the month, wo usually have a great
amount of pleasant weather ; our second
summer, the Indian summer, with
its bland, smoky atmosphere, induce a
dreamy earelesMu-ss iu regard to the
future ; but these nro the very days
which Providence has set apart iu our
climate for preparing to meet the "tern
rcaliiie' of winter, and they ought to
ho diligently improved in getting
thing- to rights and iu proper condi
tion for thu frosts and snow. Just
as the soaiuau, iu anticipation of the
coming storm, or when gnin- into a
turbulent sea, calls all Lands to put the
ship iu trim to meet rough w.eather,
so the farmer should at once look
oround him and see what remains to be
done before winter fairly sets iu.
If any crops are still out, they
should be housed or tuljeti care of at
once. Suitable provision should bo
made for taking stock to a good shel
ter at the very tlrst appearance of a cold
storm. Cattlu and sheep and other
stock, should not be left exposed to
the first and most trying blasts ot
wintir weather, which often conic .sud
denly. The first cold storm may pinch
them up for a whole season. The
fanner's own homo may need looking
after. Now is the timo to make the
needed repairs, A little attention to
tbo shutting out of winter will bo moro
effectual, or at least much moro eaily
accomplished now than when the win
ter storms are beating. There are
many things round about the house
and bams that should bo attended to
at once. Prcparo for winter, should be
the watchword on every farm, until
the proprietor can sit down at his firo
side at evening and feel that every
thing is ready, aud let the stormy
winds blow to their heart h content,
without having his
turbed.
short born bull, and tlio best native
cows thev can 'obtain. Tbo farmer
can maku steers ot the bull calves, and
sell them for beef, and tbo best of the
females he can rcscrvo for breeding
purposes : and as they come ot sum
cicnt age, he can work off the old cows
to make room for the grade heifers,
and their female calves he can raise to
to take their places, and so on, always
using a thoroughbred bull, and females
an near thoroughbred as he can get
them, and in a tew years lie will have a
heard of cows which will bring him an
annual crop of calves which for beef
tmrnofc will t)osess nil the excellen
cics of the thoroughbred. He says :
" 1 handle a good deal of stock, and
my business takes mo into different
paitsoltliu country, and in contact
with farmers all the time, aud I am as
tonished ut tie lack of correct infor
mation on 'the udvautagc of good stock
over poor which prevails among well
to do fanners, who, on nil other sub
jects, arc well informed and wide
awake. I have bred cattle and grazed
them, though, iu breeding, 1 never got
so far along as to make a special busi
ness of raisins thoroughbreds to sell
toother for breeding purpo-es. But
when it comes to a matter of cattle for
beef, I think I know my bu-iness, and
what I am talking about. When I
was "razing, I would give more per
pound for n yood, grade, hhort-horu
steer or calf than for n common one,
(nnd I noticed they alwayn weighed
more, too, at the same agej, because I
could fit them for market earlier, be-cau-c
I could put on more pounds of
beef to an aero of pasturage, aud be
cause I could always seel it for more
per pound.
' Now, a :i cattle-buyer, I will give
more for the same class of stock, than I
will for common stock, because I can
always find a ready maiket for it, and
can realize the best prices,
an l because 1 find there is less
risk In it. When the market is Over
storked ; when buyers from the Hast
are few, and holding off, prices droop
ing and drovers blue, 1 uotice iti-, 'al
ways the inferior and common stock
whi.-h feels the depre?ion most, and to
the grcatc extent. I have often no
ticed, that when I bad several lots of
good common becres iu the market, I
had to accept a very marked concession
iu prices in order to secure a customer,
while around u lot of high grades iu an
adjoiuiug pen, the buyer would swarm
iu troops, each one eager and anxious
to buy at full rates. And when prices
have dropped, I have noticed that
more than half a cent ou .common
stock was i ot followed by moio thau
half a cent on high grades, aud when
prices advance, the best stock always
tcels the advance the earliest. Fur
this reason, I prefer to handle this
kind of stock to common stock, aud al
ways expect to pay more per pound for
it, aud can make money by doing it.
It is with this, as with everything else,
there is always a strong, healthy de
mand, more buyers thau sellers, for a
chniri article than for a common one,
aud the fanner will make the mo-t
money who endeavors to supply the
best.
" Another thing I have noticed, and I
have handled a great many cattle, and
this is, that high grades become good
mature beeves, aud can command full
prices iu matketat an earlier age, than
commr ii bu locks, and when 1 wis run
ning a firm, I confide ed this as a
grmt advantage. There is uo (jue-tion
about their maturing earlier, about
their fattening more readily, and about
their telling for a higher price."

aro but enornnus islands; that Bcbring
straits, the Gulf of Greenland and the
open sea between Spitzbergen and Nova
.cnibla are all iu tree communication
with one anotltcr. But how about the
Polo itself, bow about tho mystic space
which lies laud-locked between these
continents? The general theory, and
one which facts strongly support, is
that toward the North Pole sets a con
tinuous umUrcurreut of warm ea
water, which -ising at the Pole itself,
forms a hugj fiee Arctic Se.i, sur
rounded by monstrous icebergs and in-
tinite floes, wlile itself is uuruftk-d by
winds, untouched by tempest, teeming
with life and ever open. From its
centre the cuircnts set southward, and
soou the chill brine is converted into
huge mas.-es of ice, floating towards the
Equator, block up Behring Straits nnd
Baffin's Bay, and cut off all acce-s to
this noble Artie ocean. It is the old
story of the Hyperboreans over again.
We hate to gel well behind the north

bicak upon the scene w hich old Lucre

heaven, the quaint dwelling where uo

tt ho is to bc the first to break into

Polar sky we know as surely as we
know any truth of science.
The great warm Gulf stream is ever
flowing toward the Pole ; it is ever
rolling back, converted into huge and
hideous blocks und hummocks aud
bergs. More than this, tho process has
of late years become nior.1 rapid.
Greenland is now one vast thriliiug
region of thick-ribbed ice. Tlio Gulf
of Greenland used to be navigable up
to Grinnull Land aud Kane's open sea.
Now it is blocked with an immense flood
of crystal, which comes rolling down,
crumpling up before it all that comes
in its way, as a railway train would
crumple up an eg'. Parry keenest,
truest, most chivalrous of our Arctic
voyagers did his best to reach tho
open ocean upon sledges. Tho ice,
with him upon it, traveled faster to
ward the south than he upon it could
make headway toward the north. He
found himself, as it were, upon n huge
glacial treadmill. The fates were
airaiiist him, and he bent hi wiy sadly
back. Hut where one, through no
fault of his own, has failed, others cau
win, and it is certain that this glorious
open Northern Sea, where the whale
wallows and tho seal aud walrus head,
will yet be cut by Lnrnpean keel. Iho
Austrii'tis havo an expedition at pres
ent wintering in the Nova Zcinbla
Ocean, under Woyprceht and Paver.
A Swedish expedition, ruled by Inlan
der and Vordeuksiold. will eatly next
'spring attempt to cut its way northward
in light sledges, drawn by fleet rein
deer. The Danes are sending explor
ing parties toward the ultima Tliuk
by land over tho extreme Polar bounds
ofwastonud barren Greenland; and
even tho Freuch, amid all their
troubles from within and without, pro
pose to dispatch an Arctic expedition
under Ambertand Mick, though for
the pre.-eut it is postponed, owing to
some obstacles which stood iu the way.
Nor is this all. It is also understood
that Prince Bismarck and Priuco Ho
liculohu take much iuteiest in these
discoveries, nnd that it is not unlikely
yet another German expedition may bo
dispatched next spring to follow up the
researches already described.
Where is Knglaud amid till these ex
peditious? Ought sho not, too, to hold
her own ? Where so great a problem
is to bo solved, ought she alouo to hold
back and tin-usurc tho net value of the
Tcsults of such it ti undertaking against
its net cost ? Grant that tho discovery
of tho opon polar sea will lead to no
real good, will not add a penny either
to our imports or our exports; that the
wretched images who live on tho ex
treme northern fringo of tho world's
two huge contineutH have uothing to
offer us for our beads and cutlery save
seal skins and walru ivory, nnd that,
on our pa-t, it is cheaper to procure
ivory from Central Africa and Fcal
skins from Alaska than to despatch
vessels to tho terrible Northern Sea.
Even when all this is admitted, the
broad question yt remains behind of
our natioul glory und credit : Is Eng
