Of late wo havo noticed several articles going the rounds of the agricultural press, the \r riters of which speak highly of what are termed " winter oats." From the tone of theso articles, a:-; well as from inquiries received from corespondents asking for further information in regard to these oats, we are inclined lo believe that many persons are misled into thinking that they are new or distinct varieties from those known to our Northern farmers. But the.se eo-ealled rviuter oats receive their name from tho common practice of sow* ing this grain in the fall in many parts of ihe Mid.He and Southern States, instead of the spring, as is the general practice in colder latitudes. The oat is what may be called a half-hardy animal, and where the winter is not too severe it may bo sowu with safety in the fall, and tha plants will como out in spring oven more vigorous than if tho sowing was delayed to the latter season. Some of our Southern farmers who have considerable experience in this matter assure us that fall-sown oats aro always more certain and far less liable to rust than those sown in spring. Of conrse, there are different varieties cultivated in the South as well as in the North, some being better adapted to the climate than others; but those originating in Vermont may prove after trial to bo just as good a winter oat as one proceed in Georgia. There are no distinctive characteristics by which winter oat3 can be distinguished from spring or summer cats ; but, through repeated trials cerlniu sorts are found to succeed better in tho South when sown in the fall than in spring, and to these the above name is applied. Farm Work. iteaciiariti of Work.?The fine weather Las enabled farmers to finish .np their fall work, and push on with that for ppring. It would be well to keep on as long as the weather remains favorable, for wo know not what spring may bring forth. Work should be done with regularity, and not by " fits and starts." At this season the hours of work may he shortened, and the day's labor bo finished at four o'clock. There is much work that may be done indoors; reading, studying, phoning for tho fu- j tare, which ejto all equally as necessary to be done as plowing and digging drains. By apportioning the time to different labors, cne may often get through more worn than in oilier ways. SjRtem is everything in planning work, and goes a great way in doing it. By economizing the time, there may be five hoars daily set apart for reading. About tho bouse everything should be done to make things snug, and all requisitions mado by the housekeepers attended to at once. Winter time is an exacting period for housekeepers, and everything should be done to relieve thi'ir necessary work of much of its weight. Fuel should be put under cover, and properly prepared for convenient woe. Drains should be made to carry off water ; a place provided for slops and waste, where they may be saved for use as fertilizers; the cellar thoroughly cleaned, whitewashed and protected; shelves put up where needed; porches for protection around the doors and well should bo made, and all these done without considering that any undue calls aro made upou the patience or the time of the farmer or mechanic. The homo should bo considered first.? A grioullurist. CsoMux tbe Fodder for Dairy Stock. A correspondent writes that he has been advised to adopt the practice of cooking food for his dairy stock the coming winter. He desires to know " if there are any objections that have been urged against the practice, and if bo, what they are." While the cooking of food for stock hr.s been warmly urged by various writers iu this country for a number of years past, the practice does not seem to bo received with especial favor by farmers, or at least it has not spread to the extent that we should naturally suppose it would if all the advantages claimed for such feeding can be relied upoD. What seems most remarkable in connection with this practice is that it has never found general favor in England, where cattle foods are comparatively dear, and where the economy of feeding is made a study by scientific and practical mindj. The English feeder prefers to cat his straw and coarse fodder into chalT, mingling with it pulped turnips and allowing tho mass to slightly ferment before feeding. It is stated by "RnffHah fiufchorliifia thnf, vr\ fnnrJ in liable to induce various diseases in young stock, heifers being attacked wiih black leg, black quarter, speed, et:?., v liile other cattle nuffer from splenetic apoplexy, sheep from broxy, and horses irom albuminous nephrites, particularly -when cooked food has been given. To Kill Cabbage Worms. Hot water i3 recommended to be applied to cabbages that are iuk-sted with tho pieris rapec?sprinkled on from a flu o rose watering can. Tho water may bo boiling hot when pnt in the can, but it will no: bo too hot when it reaches the cabbsgo leaves. Tho thick fleshy nr.ture of tho leaves enables them to withstand considerable heat with very little injury. The sacrifice of a few heads of cabbage will soon teach an experimenter how far he can go with the hot water. A Rural Home correspondent speaks also from his own experieac.% and says: I heat water to nearly a boiling heat, and put it on with a common watering pot, with the sprinkler removed. If it is very hot it will oolor some of the leaves, but it does not s^m to hart the cabbage in the least. This w:ll kill the yonng worms and nearly nil the old ones. There will sometimes be a few that do not get touched with the water. These can be picked off with a small pair of pincers. If there are not a great many, the last remedy will do.

It is the last desperate attempt to prop a failing cause. Gov. Hayes has been fairly elected by a clear majority of tho electoral votes. There no indication that any rightminded citizen has a doubt as to the result.

Tho workingmen themselves doclarothat there is no hope for work this winter. They do not see a chance to earn their bread in that city or anywhere else. The best is stated when it is said that those trades which feed the clothing business are pretty lively, but in all tho skilled labor connected with building there is nothing doing. The mechanics are now so hard pressed that there are thousands of their families now on the verge of destitution, with the hard, idle winter before them. The situation is becoming desperate. A young man in Bridgeport, Conn., pulled back so hard, when his companions hauled him up to the bar to drink, that one of his arms was broken. The truth of the story is vouohed for by the Bridgeport newspapers. The figures of the Massachusetts State oersus justify the theory that the foreign born population of that State is more prolifio than the native. The average number ?f children of the native mothers is 3.52, while of the foreign born it is 4.91. The rule is probably general, in New England at least, if not in the oountry.

Numerous petitions of religions and temperance organizations throughout the country wore presenter by various senators praying Congrees to tako steps to prohibit the manufacture and Kale of alcoholic liquors as a bev orage in tho District of Columbia and the Territories of tho United Bute*, all of which were referred. Tha joint roeolntion proposing an amendment to tho Constitution bo an to have the electoral vote counted by tho suprome court was discussed at some length, leading mombers taking pait in it. Mr. Bogy (Dem.), of Missouri, said that in the present contest if tho court should decide in favor of Tilden it would be denounced, and if it should decide in favor of Hayes it would likewise be denounced. Tho counting of the vote was not a function which belongod to the judicial department of the government; it was a funotioa wbioh proporly belonged to the legislative departments.

In discussing the political question, Mr. Sherman (Hep), of Ohio, eaia the vote of Florida and Louisiana was in dispute. As to Oregon, ho did not think that caso would rise to tho dignity of a dispute. He believed the Democratic oaudidato himself would scorn to hold the c lHee of President in pursuauce of such a fraud. As to South Carolina, be believed that it was coucoded by all that the electoral vote was for Hayes and Wheeler. Messrs.

To Distinguish Cotton from Wool. Ravel out. tho suspected cotton fiber from tho wool and apply flame. The cotton will burn with a flash, the wool will onrl up, carbonize, and omit a burnt, disagreeable smell. Even to the naked eye the cotton is noticeably different from the filaments of wool, and under the magnifier this difference comes out strongly. The cotton is a flattened, more or less twisted band, having a very striking resemblance to hair, which, in Toolifir if. iq- cinrn in tho e.nnditinn of elongated cells, it linos the inner surface of the pod. The wooi may be recognized at once by the zigzag transverse markings on its fibers. The surface of wool is covered with these furrowed and twisted fine oross linos, ot which there aro 2,000 to 4,000 in an inch. On this structure depends its felting property. Finally, a simple and very striking chemical test may bo applied. The mixed goods are unraveled, a little of the cotton fiber put into one dish and the woolen in another, and a drop of strong nitric acid added. The cotton will bo little or not at all affected; the wool, on the contrary, will be changed to a bright yellow. The color is due to the development of a piorate. Looking at the Wreck. "Gath" writes to the Graphic of the Brooklyn fire : All that I conld see, as I looked in the hollow theater from the exposed stage rear on the street, was a rectangle of brick walls, on three sides nnbroken, at my end fallen in. The opposite gable, a high, clean piece of brick work, retained the stain or print of tho stairs which led to the fatal gallery, far up the lofty interior. Those who fell from the gallery itself fell probably fifty feet into the cellar, on the bed of cinders and burning coals already prepared there. They fell into the depth of the block, one hundred feet from any street bnt the side alley, where nobody walked. They fell like a man in the interior of a prison, into an oubliette or den of oblivion. From burning zenith to burning hell. From shrieking to chimney tops and frightened birds and nothing more but the intimidated stars, they fell to a roasting pit amongst the rats of the sewers and cellars, and not a sound they mado for mercy or death, relief or identification, reached tho outer world. There the flames were roaring, the engines whistling, bolls and valves and speaking trumpets were milking midnight din. Tho nearest spectator?the only cognizant part of nature that peeped in?was the sky, which showed its palo face in place of the fallen roof. Piled together in suuocation, me aying and dead nestled down together, growing black and consuming to stumps of human forms. There, within a hundred feet, was a lightning press, and never suspected that there was such news to tell. All the New York papers the next day announced tbat the audience got off safely, and still three hundred buried forms were in that cellar, charred and still. It was in the focus of Brooklyn, yet people were saying hours afterward that nobody was hurt. The smoke that blew above the ruin looked innocent to all, as if it merely bore away the odors and ashes of old properties and scenes, benches and fiddles, but it was pregnant with the bloom of youth, tho strength of human hair, the lime of strong arms, the remainder of recontly bounding hearts. They died in the midst of the city, like the pioneers of Montana's meadows, murdered on the desert. They died lonely, as the heroes of an anaboesis, yet beside everybody.. I looked into those hollow walls where a fow men wore digging like scattered pigmies on the charcoal littered floor. There were the foundation walls of the rear main entrance, the three brick arches through which tho audionce walked, and under my eye tho stones that supported the stage. It was clean as a ruined church standing out in an old field. They were no floors, and little or no debris remained. If the bushes had grown up 'while I gazed upon tho hollow waste all would have seemed natural enough. Strange Freaks of Ihe Insane. A lady was one evening sitting in her drawing-room alone, when the trnly other inmate of the house, a brother, who for a time had been betraying a ten dency to unsoundness of mind, entered with a carving knife in his hand, and, shutting the door, came up to her and said: " Margaret, an odd 'idea has occurred to me. I wish to paint the head of John the Baptist, and I think yours i might make an excellent study for it. So, if you please, I will cut off yonr head." The lady looked at her brother's eye, and seeing in it no token of jest, concludcd that he meant to do what he said. There was an open window and a balcony by her side, with a street in front; but a moment satisfied hor that safety did not lie in that way. So, putting on a smiling countenance, she said: "That is a straDge idea, George; but would it not be a pity to spoil this pretty new lace tippet I have got? I'll just step to my room to put it off and be with you again in half a minute." Without giving him time to consider, she stopped lightly across the floor and passed out. In another moment she was alone in her own room, whence she easily gave the alarm, And the madman was secured. The story of the gentleman commanded by some insane persons to jump from the top of a tower in thoir asylum, and who escaped by telling thom he would rather jump from tho bottom to the top, and rar. down stairs as if to execute his intention, iswell known; but f.ViA fnllnwino unAnrinf-/* nf n similar sitna tion wilJ be news to most readers. A gentleman accompanying a party to in spcct an asylum, chanced to be left behind in tko kitchen with a number of the inmates who acted as cooks and scullions to the establishment. There was a huge caldron of boiling water on the fire, into which the madmon declared they must jrut him in order to boil him for broth. They would fain have assisted him into tho large pot; and, as they were laying hold of him, he reflected that in a personal struggle he would have no chance with them?all he could do was to gain time. So he said "Very well, gentlemen, I am sure I should make good broth, if you do not spoil it by boiling my clothes with it." "Take off your clothes," they cried out; and ho began to take off his clothes very slowly, crying out loudly the while : " Now, gentlemen., my coat is off?I will soon be stripped. There goes my waistcoat?I shall soon be ready;" and so on, till nothing remained but his shirt. Fortunately, the keeper, attracted by his loud speaking, hurried in just in time to save him. Instrncling the Postmaster. Thero were vigorous inquiries at the Detroit post-office for the chief clerk, and when the captain's face appeared at the window the inquirer asked: "Ho6a croBs-eyed woman been here asking for letters addressed to me?" The captain hadn't seen her. "Well, she'll be here this forenoon. She's my wife, and she's a leeile weak in the head. She's got tho notion that T l/trrzi lnffora frnm a Ttmrrmn in flan a. dav and she'll be here to ask for my mail." "Well?" "Well, I don't get atfy such letters, of course, but you mustn't give her my mail. She might get one with a draft in, and not know its value. Ju3t say to ber tbat you never knew of my receiving a letter here, and that you had repeatedly heard me say that I had the best wifo in town." " But I don't know you." "Never mind that. In dealing with an insane woman it's best to bo soft and slick and smooth. Jlist shake hands with her, praise hor small feet, and tell her she ought to bo proud of such a husband as I am." The Silver BUI. The Silver bill was passed by the United States Hou?e, after two hours' discussion. The bill passed is the substitute offered by Mr. Bland, and is embraced in nine printed lines. It provides for the coining of silver dollars at mints of the United States of the weight of 412} grains standard silver, and declares tbat said dollar shall be a legal tender for all debts public and private, cxcept wbere payments of gold coin is required by law. The vote on the passage of tbe bill was 1G7 to 53. Of those voting iu the negative eighteen were Democrats. The negative vote was made up from the following States : New York, fourteen; Massachusetts, seven; Pennsylvania, six; Maine, live; New He mpshire and Louisiana, each mree; juicmgau, uuo aiiu xvaoae Island, each two; and Alabama, Connecticut, Iowa, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Maryland, New Jersey and Vermont, each ono. Getting the Ladies Interested. A rather funny device was recently introduced into a neighboring church social which promires to become very popular. A prize of ton dollars was offered to tho gentleman bringing tho largest number of young ladies, and their enthusiasm was so great that even mothers-in-law and old maids were dolighted and astonished by polite invitations to attend tho evening's entertainment. It is hinted, however, that tho young man winning the prize considered the money more than earned.

SCRJBNER'S MONTHLY. An Unrbrilcd Illustrated Magazine. "When Scribner issued its famous Midsummer Holiday Number in July, a friendly critic said of it: " Wo aro not suro but that Scbibner has touchod high water mark. We do not see what worlds aro left to it to conqucr." But the publishers do not consider that they have reached the ultima thulo of excellence-they bclievo "there ore other worlds to conquor, and they propose to conquor them." Tho prospectus for the new volume gives the titles of moro than fifty papers, mostly illustrated, by writers of the highest merit. Under the head of "FOREIGN TRAVEL," wo havo " A "Winter on tho Nile," by Gen. McClellan : " Saunterings About Constantinople," by Charles Dudley Warner; "Out of My Window at Moscow,-' by Eugene Sciiuyler ; " An American in Turkistan," etc. Threo serial stories are announced : "NICHOLAS MINTURN," by dr. holland, the editor, whose story of " Sevenoaks " gave tho highest satisfaction to the readers of the Montlilv.

Y. The New York Clerk. Young men in the country imagine that if they could only manage to get a clerkship in New York, or some other large city, their fortunes would be made. The Now York clerk does not have so feat .ery a bed to lie in as many imagine. A correspondent writing on the subject says. Take, for instance, the dry goods clerks on Broadway. Some of the establishments like Stewart's, Lord & Taj lor's, Jaffray's, etc., have as many as two hundred clerks in their employ. They are expected to dress well, to keep up with the fashions, so as to be in keeping with the general style of things about them. They must bo at business promptly at eight in tho morning, a strict account being kept of any failure to do so, which*is reported by tho head of the department to the general manager. All the day long they are kept on their feet, under watchful eyes, and with a multitude of details to attend to; and at noon they must hurry out for a hasty lunch and be back as soon as possible, flying tho day through until seven or eight o'clock at night. In the busy season they are liable to be worked until eleven ! or twelve o'clock at night; and in tho dull seasons, which come on the city . often enough, they aro just ts liable to be discharged at a week's notice, even though they have been years in the [ house, and been faithful in every way, and all this for from 88 to 015 per week. The head bookkeeper of a prominent Broadway house gets a salary of thir teon thousand dollars, while unaor rum [ are no less than six meD, having the brunt of tho work to do, who are paid tbree dollars a day. There are men in other houses who enjoy princoly incomes, because they have drawn one of the prizes of trade; they have a trade of their own which brings in large sums to their employer; thoy are paid for their work with unstinted hand. But all around them are -men without this special advantage, though competent, who are barely getting a living. A large tea house that employs sixty clerks has only five who receive over 810 per week. How city clerks live I?considering tho meager condition of the salary market. Living any way, in New York, is expensive, as living in a great city always is. Ton, fifteen, twenty dollars a week in some places gives a man all the comforts of modest expectation; nay, often gives one a trifle for the saving fund, 01 the luxurious. Not so here. Decent board will range up to ten and fifteen dollars; decent board?which means a narrow, close room, clean food ?very plain?and nothing more. And then you come down peg by peg to the horrors and misory and slack and discomfort of Now York boarding house life?the cheapest and meanest being five and six dollars a week. Clerks pack themselves away in these holes, making them just sleeping and eating places, cast out from ail amusement and society upon the town; or olse they hire lodgings in some obsouro quarter, and "live by the card" of cheap eating houses. They make oil sorts of shifts to keep stylishly clothed. A prophetic itomizer romarks: Pairstine is to have a railroad, and tho cry will soon bo: "All aboard for Jerusalem.

Messrs. SKTH W. FOWLE ? SONS, Boston, Ma?.: Gcntlemon?You may perhaps remember that I wrote roo several week* ago in regard to the uso of the PERUvian Syoup for my wife, who was Buffering from genorol iebility, the sequence of Typhoid Dysentery. I hod tried (he most noted physicians in this State, and also in Canada, without relief. At your recommendation she ;ommencod the use of the Syrup. The first four bottles made but little impression, but while taking the fifth she 3egan to improve rapidly, and now, after using six of the iollar bottles, she rogained her strength and is able to do nost of the work about the house; and I feel that I canlot speak too highly in praise of Pebcviax SIRUP. I tiave proscribed it to several of my patients, and have procured the sale of several dozens of it here. You car make any uso of this lotter that you may see fit. Yours very truly. H. D. BELDEN, 24.
