A Ccie cf Card Etiquette.

The card should be printed or wTitteuvery plainly.

AVhite cards, without any embellish-ment, are regarded as in the lest taste ;avoiding extremes in size.

The gentlemen's card should containnothing except the name and address ofthe caller, and in general, omit the ad-

dress.The titles cf "Hon." "Mr.," '"Esq.,"

etc., are not allowed on calling cards.'31rs.t" or OIiss" ore admissible on

ladies cards. Professional titles, such as"Dr.," "Rev.," and "M. D,,w eta, areadmissible on gentlemen's cards.

A military title, snch as "Lient,""Capt.," "Gen.," "U. S.A.," "U.S.X.,"etc.. is also admissible.

The handsomest style is that which isengraved ; next is that which is beauti-fully written ; next comeB the printedcard, in text letter.

At a hotel, when calling on any one,bend your card and await a reply m thereception-room- .

If tw o or more ladies are iu the house-hold, the turning down of a corner signi-fies that the card is for all the ladies.

The lady in mourning who may not de-sire to make calls will send mourning-card- s

to her friends instead during theseason of retirement from society.

A gentleman calling on n lady and shebeing absent, or not at home, but herdaughter being in the house, tho gentle-man will send in his card, instead of call-ing, as it is not customary for young la-

dies to rcccivTj calls from gentlemen un-less quite intimately acquainted.

It is well to lave cards in readiness atevery call.

It is quite well to send in your card bya servant, as the mispronunciation of thename is thus avoided.

If a lady is not at home, it will alsoservo to nhow that you have called.

TLe hostess should, if not desiring tosee any one, send word that she is engag-ed when tho servant first goes to the door,and not after the rani has been sentup.

It is admissible, when a lady does notdesire to see a caller, to instruct the ser-vant to reply that "the mistress is not athoni" the understanding being that,whether in the house or not, the ii "notat homo" for the reception of callers.

A business card is inadmissible as acalling card, unless the call bo purely onefor business.

In making New Year's calls it is custo-mary to present a card to each of thelidies who receive with her, as well as tothe host ss.

Iu Liking a letter of introduction to alady in the citv, if you send it to her bythe servant who answers the bell, alsosend your card with the same.

The card being left in vour absence isthe equivalent of a calL A call is nowdue from you to the person leaving thecard.

In leaving the city for a permanentresidence abroad, it is customary to sendout cards to intimato friends, adding tothe name "I. P. C." Presents PartingContpUmcntf.

After receiving eif invitation for, or at-tending, a large party or ball, it is custo-mary to call soon afterwards on the host-

ess", making a brief stay, or leaving acam.

APPLICATION' OF MANUEC

In no department of farm operationshave greater mistakes boon made than inthovaluo of manure and tlio manner ofapplying it. Tor many years it was thouniversal custom to bury it as deeply aspossible but during the last few years thelolly of this course Las become apparent.a correspondent ol tlie country ucntle-ma-

says :

It is through a fclow lirooess tl.ftt fannersare leu to giro up old timo customs andadopt better ones. Those in the van ofimprovement, experiment and enterprisemust keep constantly urgiug their viewsand plans in order to win over tho slowones. It was through this instrumentality that I was induced to change my mindiu regard to tho application of manure.and also radically to change my mode ofmaking and increasing the quantity.Some twelve or thirteen years ago, somewriter induced me to abandon the prac-tice of plowing manure under, and no onething has been of so much value to me infarming, and I now cling to the new the-ory and practice it more stronglv than Idid tue old. Some two years ago 1 was instrumental in organizing a farmer h cm ti

in this town, which has done good dutyever since. J: or a year or more I tried togain converts to my plan of making andapplying manure Last fall the most ex-

tensive former in our club gave in, and Inave one more to aid mo when tho hattlocomes up on tho manum question. Atone of our recent club meetings, a mem-

ber claimed very earnestly that thestrength of manure plowed under alwoy sreaches tue sunace, and that the leachingprocess is upward ! Such extreme igno-rance can hardly be overcome by argu-ment, as it is nearly impossible to inducesuch men to experiment nt all. In con-versing lately with a neighboring farmer,whose meadows are spotted from an irreg-ular catch of grass, I asked him to try

He replied that lie couldnot afford to waste his manure: he musthave it all to plow down for grain. Hesaid the manure might as well ltc dumpedinto tho brook as to put it on the surface.i asked him it lie ever any asan experiment, and his answer was anemphatic Xo ; I am not a fool.

Tim i:llms cow.

Jersey Belle or Seituato (76:28), betterknown as "the Ellins cow," is a H. IX. Jer-sey, bred by Mr. E. D. Sohier, lioston,Mass., and owned by Mr. C. O. Ellms,Seituato, Mass. She was dropped July10,1871. Her color is vellow fawn and

hite. She weighs m her prime 1C0pounds. She came in at two years old.and her milk, churned with that of an-other cow, so increased the amount of but-ter and declined its color, as to impressher owner that she was a superior heiler.Xext year she calved while the other cowwas dry, nnd by churning her milk by it-

self, its remark'able richness, though ample in tlow, was discovered aud led to sub-sequent tebts from time to time. She hadher lourth call, l euruary in, amiher test for a year commenced March 5,from which dato her milk was set andchnrued separately. For one year, endingwith March 4, 187, she was fedoncquartof corn meal per daythroughout the year,running at grass in summer, and havinghay and fodder in the winter. The firstday her milk made 3 pounds C ounces ofbutter, and the three following days gave9 pounds 9 ounces ; the week, 21 'pounds5 ounces, and eleven days made 32 pound.For live months the averaged 19 poundsper week. To August 1st she had made400 pounds of butter ; to September lbt,472 pounds ; to October 1st, 532 pounds;to January 1st, 1S78, her yield was C"i2pounds. During January she averagedone pound of butter a day until near theclow?, and up to March uth, one year fromthe commencement of the test, tlu hadmade 70j pounds. She calved again May10, 1878, and during seven days of thatmonth made her largest ncorc lor a singleweek, viz : 22 pounds 13 ounces, but didnot go higher any one day than 3 poundsC ounces, which she had done theyear be-fore. Her tlubh yield of milk does not goabove 42 pounds per day, wliich shows anextreme richness.

It will be observed that the animal isnot large, nor has bhe been highly fed,her great product being mainly owing tothe extraordinary richness of her milk.Two other cows of the same breed are reported, one of w Iiich gave a yield under aheavy feed of 3 pounds 1 ounces ier dav.and the other 22 pounds C ounces iu aweek.

Of other kind of stock, notice is madeof u Short Horn cow weighing 1200pounds which in six consecutive daysmade 19 pounds of butter on grass alone

equal to 22 pounds 12 ounces per week.Another, the Scott cow of this State, madeon hay and grass alone 501 pound a in ayear.

To these might be added the full bloodJersey cows Lady Milton and Cream Pot,meiormeroi winch mudtiy.is joundsoi nutter in three months and tho latter239.45 itounds in the some time less sixdays.

Vith these recorJs, and many moresimilar ones micht Ihj added, the writeriinuKs ine stjuuard ior good nutter cowsshonld be 400 pounds per annum.

It seems evident from the foregoingthat the possibilities of our dairy stockhave not yet been reached, and ouropinions on that point need modifying.Ihe high price of butter which now pre- -vails and which, with one exception.has prevailed for a long time, .should be asufficient inducement for giving more a!

tentiou to the subject.The present averago of our dairy stock

is probably not 100 pounds per annum.Cows whoso product is pounds, arenot very common and wherever ownedare justly held at high prices.

A rr,0Fi:H51ON I NEW VOUK SKILLbV CE1 TASTERS.

IFrom the New York Medical Record

There are, bats lr. Dana, probablymore than a huudred firms engaged in tea- -

lfldmrr in this eitv. In all their oflice.s

there are large tables with roundrevohingtops, a circle oi i (utu-r- niongtho edge of these. The sitsdown before the display of crockery, and

U a pair of ajtoer ...K

i iu them. When a sampleof tea is to bo tasted, as much is weighedout as will balance the half dime. Thisis put in a p and the boiling waterpoured on. The then stirs upthe leaves, lifts them on his spoon, andinhales the aroma. At the samo time herrenerallv takes a sir of the infusion.holds it in his mouth for ashorttime, andthen spits it out. Enormous brass

holding two or three galhms, re-

ceive the tea thus tasted and the contentsof the cups that have been examined. Onsome occasions, when a large amount oftea of a certain kind is to be bought,many samples of this are brought in formdiiierent houses, ine nuyers and sellers

samples made into infusions in the cujisbefore them. These are tasted all round,the "body," fineness, ,toastiness," u.,ere learnedly discussal, and the poorerspecimens discarded. Then those thatare left are tasted again, and the numberfurther minced. So it goes on until thearticle which unites the desired qualityand price is obtained.

The skill displayed at theso "drawings"is quite remarkable. A willdetect not only the quality of a tea as re-

gards oge, strength, flavor, fineness, etc.,but he can tell in which of the numerousdistricts in China the tea was grown.Tho facts regarding the difierent samplesarc sometimes put on the In 4 torn of thecups, where they cannot be seen. Thecups aro then mixed tip, and the infu-sions tasted again and sorted out simplyby their flavors.

A great eleal of tea may be tasted be-

fore these are finished. Itis hard to tell the amount that atakes during the day, for it varies a greatdeal with tho activity of business. IVwof the gentlemen whom I asked couldgive any idea. Sometimes, however, asmany as 400 or 500 cups are tasted iu theday. It is quite the custom to hae to betasting teatsteadily for the most of theday, or for hours at a time. Probablyan average at 200 cups a day throughoutthe year is a low Chtimate. The poorerkind of tea are often not sipped at all,but the sense of smell is depended on.Of the better qualities of tea, some isswallowed, and some spit out. Indeed,whenever the tea is taken into the moutha little ef it is swallowed. The tea getsinto the svstem, therefore, in three wavsby inhalation, by absorption through theoral mucous membrane, and by thestomach. More tea is simply taken intothe mouth without swallowing than is

alone; but all the tea is inhaled,een if it is tasted also. It is only asmall proportion, amounting to not morethan two or three cups a day, that is swal-lowed. A silver five-ce- piee'e weighs1.18 grins, (gr. xvm). Estimating thatan average of 200 cups of tea are tastedper elay, about one-ha- of a pound wouldreprestnt the w holo amount used.

Japan tea has of late years become byfar the most popular variety, and more ofit is imported than of all other kinds to-gether. (Ire'eii ta, on the other hand, ismuch less extensively used than forme-rly

No sooner did ihewolves perceive him, thin, maddened by Ihetaste of Mood, they turned from the heifi rand attacked him. As one of the infuriatedanimals sprang toward the old man, he dealtit a mighty blow with the fork, sending ttinto n corner.

After kicking uselessly atthe animal. v: grasped its throat with hisleft h'indaud choked the wolf until it lit m.Then seizing ajain the pitchfork, he dealt a

It U said that the Young Republican Com-

II. V. Townshend of Illinois is one oi e

younger Democratic Congressmen. It is hisdistinction that he U the only person whoever served as a pne in the I louse and after-

ward became a member, and he U afllictedwith an sense of his superiorabilities. Few memlien introduce moreorigin d bill-- to elic in committee than he,and more frequently attempt to directproceedings in the House and get snubbedfor their impertinence. lie is vain, ambi-

tious, meddlesome, feeble and offensive. OnWednead.iylast 31r. Townshend introduccila bill which bore a very simple title and pro-

posed to amend a fection of the HevisedStatutes. No one suspected the real purposeof the bill, which was to admit free of dutysalt, piper, printing machinery and types,and various chemicals. The bill simply

to repeal the section referring to it bynumlier. Oa Mr. Townshcnd'a motion thebill was referral to the committee on the Ile-- v

islon of the Law3, whereas, being a tariffbill, it have gone to the committeeon the "Ways and Means. The former com-

mittee would favor the bill; the latter wasnot likely to. It soon became Known thattho opponents of the present tariff werechuckling over Townshcnd's success in de--

Win-tl- ie IIoum.' Into doing what it bid sooften, when the mcmliers understoodwas proposed, lcfuscd to do. Therefore, assoon as the journal of Wedncsdiy's proceed-

ings had been read, attention was called tothe fact that a bill proposing to ame nd morethan thirty sections of the revenue laws hadbeen, in violation of the rules, referred to thecommittee on the UcvKion of the I.aws,andfotthwitha struggle liegan to secure an ap-propriate reference of it. Conger, (larfieldand that Townshend had de-

ceived the House, and as the contest grewwarm ttie charge was made that Townshendhad, with intent, dohlterately deceived theHouse in order to give to the committee onthe IEevision of the Kiws jurisdiction of asubject over whie h under the rules it had nocontrol. (larfield, after the filibuM ering at-

tempts bee n continued at great length,characterized a certain motion as absurd, andintimated that the House had lieen sri-s- y

decciviil byTmvnshend. At this Towns-hend, in a towering rage, inquired whetherOarfield intended to charge him with elcccp-tio-

'.My word," said Garfield, defiantly,'were ek"irly elelivered. I have a good,

strong voice. The gentleman mu-- t havehe'ii rd whit I sud."

In a voice quivering with excitement, andin llie ruidst of derisive laughter on the

side, Townshend said : Then thegentle-ma- intended to say that I attemptedto deceive the House?"

Garfield, replied: 'I said that the Househad licen deceived I13-- the gentlemanwith a bill upon which notlrng was writtento give any notic" of its content. The titlemight have lieen expressed as well in Arabicfigures."

The confusion in the House increased to atumult. Tow nsbend Ik came liv id vv ithpassion, and hissed lietwern his clcnchalteeth - If the gentleman herethat I intended" the rest eif the defianteleclaration was lost in the loud laughter onthe Republican side. Garfield added to theexcitement by asking withasnecr; "Hasthe gentleman any weapons alout him?'The merriment 011 the Republican Mile

and the Democrats liecame cciti el.Above the din there artwe from Townshcnd'smouth, the words :

I want the gentleman to understand thatI nm his peer. If he insinuates tint I havedeceival the House for a dishonest purpose,I say to him that he has been guilty of awilful and deliberate falsehood."

The exact lansuage could hardly le heard,so great was the uproir, and Gartie-I- endedthe debate by saying with eligmty : "Afterihat indecent exposure of the gentleman'sperson ami mind I have no mote t say.

The upshot of the controversy was thewithdrawal of the bill from Ihe Committeeon Revision, its reference to the Com-mittee on i ajs nnd Means.

rassissiiTiAL notes.

An d term convention is to Ik

callcil at St. Louis in May.

The Iloston Adctrti&r elocsu't believe indark horses. Kithcr Blaine or Grant, it

thinks, will he nominated.

Stanley Matthews says that (Iraut will henominatcel at Chicago.

The Troy Times asked the Utica Herald ifit would support Grant in the ovent of his

nomination at Chicago, and has received anaffirmative reply.

A Ocmocratic paper in Indiana, havingmade slanderous remarks concerning Senator

Edmunds, the Democratic Boston Post

picked the matter up and says: "Whatevermay lie said of Senator Edmunds as a bigot-t- il

partisan, his private life is presumed tolie above reproac li."

Gov. Proctor is quoted 03 saying, recently,that the Ucpublicans of Vermont are forGrant arter Edmund, and that the State issure for a IJepublican majority of So.OOO

for any Republican candidate'.

A canvass of the Republican voters inConn., showed 92 votes for Ed-

munds, 70 for Hayes. CD for Grant, 51 forBlaine, 27 for Sherman ami 21 for Hawlcy.

3Ir. Conkliuj: is reported to have said thathe believctl that the regular Republicanticket with Grant at tLe head could carryVirginia.

It is very eloabtful whether the Democracywill be able to shake off Mr. Tilden. Hehas wonderful tenacity and a grcattlcal morepower than his enemies admit.

Mr. Edmunds is one of our ablest states-men, and holds no mean rank in the lone listof available candielate-- of the Republicanparty. If selected as the standard-beare- r ofthe party in the coming campaign, he will,without doubt, receive the heart v support ofevery true Republican. ATm Jlaren (Cf.)Pat Indium.

There would le no talk of bolting if heEelmuntlsJ were the nominee, ami the preig-re-

of the canipaisn would be smooth andunchecked. We fhould not have to stop toelefcnel him. A?r Jlaren (CL) Journal.

Mr. Edmunds may not at present see muchof a chance of becoming a candielate. Andyet, throwing asielc his connection w ith theunconstitutional Electoral Commission, whoamong the Republicans is more fit? Is itWashburnc? Is it Blaine? Is it Conkliog?Is it Sherman? When Grant comes to heslaughtered in the convention as hedeservesto lie slaughtered- - the Green Mountain can-didate may loom up like the snow-cla- d peaksof his native State. A'. 3'. JSttn.

What the Republicans need, and whatthey must liavc, is a candidate for the

on whom the whole party will unite.Wc find such a candidate in Senator Ed-munds. His great ability is universally

; Ins recorel is untainteel ; not an un-clean or eloubtful spot can be found in anypart of his public life; he lias a large knowl-edge of pubhc affairs; and there are no pre-judices t him in any part of the coun-try. The Republican party, cordially unitedat" the polls, can clce t him by such a majorityas the dwellers in "'Cipher Alley will notventure to question. Worcetter Fpy.

The Hartford Courant remarks that ifGrant will not give way to Blaine and Blainewill not give way to Grant, thelresult mustbe a third man." There is another alterna-tive ; one of them may be nominated over theeither.
