Stable Management.
Much depends upon the groom Iin tle
management of horses in the stable.
Frequently3 very poor grooms get coi

A Cool Proposition.
There are men who speak of their
losses, and, when called' upon to detail
them, can only say that they did not
make this or that investment wheroby)
they would have gained large sums. A'n
analogous mode of reasoning would
seem in order as regards profits. At
*- least, so thought the brilliant but penni
lesi roung "nociety man " who asked a
Wal samet magnate to give him his

--Once a woman, who was called in

plenty!" Garibaldi's philosophy was
never surpassed, unless by that Ken.

Oriental PaItWbin.
We know of no subject upon whikh the
)pinion of experts in Asiatio affairs is so
ifopelessly divided as to that of Oriental
patriotism. A great number of the
keenest of them, and eseoWally of the -
men whose experienee is entiled to 1
espeeot, say that such a feeling as
atriotism does not exist In any.Asfatlio.
Ele can and will die for hiR reed, or for
its tribe, or caste, or for his dynasty;
)ut of patriotism ho has no conception.
lIe very rarely or never has a word in
Ale languago to express the virtve, his
publio opitilon does not require tt as a
LoniditionI of politifal life, and under
iteiptat.lon he never flnds Iv. it any
soure of strength. An Atsiatie, such
observers say, enn be very loyal tV a
ruler or to an ally, or to an idea, but.
his loyalty to what he terms his
"country" is of the feeblest character.
lie may speak of patriotlsm in words,
especia ly when talking to Europeans;
but. his impelling anotive Is aliways
either ambition or pride, or fanaticism,
and not, especially under temptation,
love of country. lie will sell his country
in order to rule it, and sometimes for
Uere luere, especially whenU he is out of
spirits, and thinks Destiny has declared
aainst the virtues. Those observers
think thus believe in their own
view very tirimly, point to the ease of
Tej Singli, who sold victory, as General
Cunningham reports, for E219,000, and
riiheule the notion that a man like
Arabi l'asha can be overned by
anything like "nationalist' feeling. Ito
nmy be they admit, a Mussuluan
fnatie-,or a devotee of tho Khalifate
which is not quizte the same thing-or
evena an "Asiatie"; that is, a man who
kiutehes European ascendaney ; but he
no care enough for Egypt to make
Eypnian interest, as he conceives it,
the guiding- star of hi. policy--can not,
in be in any sense a patriot.

An:ie~' st-tue-the men, that is,

A zls not only can feel, but do feel
the un: t of patriotism as strongly
I Eureans: that the want of a word
to exress the idea is an accident,which,
enouigh, is reproduced in En
-land, where, though every one under
s'ans '>ve of country," the only
sir de word which imprezses that senti
m- n is barrowed from the French; and
that an Arab, a native of India, or a
Chinamain, when a goo'd man, is as
strongly mn >ed by the idea of '"coun
try." and all which it imphllies, as an En
elishman or an American. ie is more
likely to be deticient in that virtue than
a Euiropean, as lhe is more likely to be
deticienit in any other of the active vir
tues, huis n hole nature being feebler,
and, so to speak, more feminino; yet
lie not only recognizes, but, unless over
powvered by strong temptation, acts on
it. ie very often, for example, sub
mits to invasion when a Flu ropeatn would
resist, but he never submits willingly,
still less permanently. Hle never adopts
the invader, never forgets that his own
c:ounltry is separate, andi never ceases to
hope Itat in God's goodl time the inva
der wvill be c'ompell to depart, or, if
such extreme good fortune may be, wvili
be slaught ered out.
As to self-sacrifice for his country, lie
fills up the national army readily
eniought, and this iln countries likeA
rhainistan, which have no0 conseription;
1)e serves as a soldier, say in Turkey,
with wonderful self-suppresslon ; and he
will, and doeJs constantly, risk his for
tune rallier thaii give an advantage to
the national eiiemy. No foreign Gov
ernment in an Asiatic state is ever able
quite to trust the 1)00ple, while it is a
universal experience that if a rising oc
curs, the peolie enter into a silent con
spiracy to give it aid. They may not
rise, but the foreigner hears ~nothing of
the plot till it explodes, finds no one to
bet ray the leaders, and is conscious of
living in ani atmosphere of deadly hos
tility. In the excepitional case of small
st atos separatedi by any cause from their
neighbors, like that of the Albanians,
the Afghans, the Burmese, or the
JDruses, patriotism is a burning passion,
to be as fully relied on as the same pas
sion in any European country. Men
who think thus declare that Arabi Pasha,
though governedi by mixed motives, still
does feel the nat ionalist feeling ; that his
followers, though moved by many emo
tions, still do seek the independence of
Egypt; andl that a good many of tho~se
whom we consider dangerous fools,
aetuated by bloodthirsty race-hatred,
honestly believe that in rioting they are
risking life in ordler to be rid of enemies
to their country.-Lmdon Spectator.

of iling, even when it is included in a

to grow. Next spring set the plants in
beds five feet wide, with three rows, a

a rich, sandy loam, eighteen inches
deep, into which a plentiful sul)l)ly of

Meteors and Aerolites.
A comparison of all the facts which
are known respecting shooting-stars, det
onating meteors and aerolites leads to
the conclusion that they are all minute
bodlies revolving like the comets in orbits
about the sun, and are encountered by
the earth in its orbital motion. The
visible path of aerolites is somewhat
nearer to the earth's surface thtan that
of ordlinary shooting-.stars, a result
which may 'be ascribed to their greater
density, which causes, therefore, greater
resistance.
These three classes of bodies exhibit
alternate periods of maximum and mini
mum abundance, and the times of maxi
mum for the several classes correspond
somewhat with each other, indicating
that these bodies are collected in grouips
and the three classes of bodies are
, ouped in a somewhat simiilar manner.
'he August meteors move in orbits
which require more than a century to
complete, and comprehend bodies differ
ing greatly in size and probably also in
density. Their magnitudes range from
comets whose diameter is perhaps 100,
000 miles to minute atoms, which, in 'a
single second, are dissipated by the hert
resulting from their collision with our
atmosphere. Their density ranges fromi
that of metallie iron to earthy bodies
having but feeble cohesion, which are
thssipated into fine dust by the heat of
collision with our atmosphere ; and it is
possible that the rarest of them may
consist of solid or liquid matter in a state
of minute subdivision, like a cloud of
dust or smoke.
The periodia meteors of November
rbbycomprehend bodies having an
equal range of magn itude, and perhaps
also of density.--Prof. Loomia.

siqd clee n its s4a
deb&ts t to Now England village
where it is looated. There are opough
odibeholders who are tesidents of WaE
ington to make a good-sized city of
themselves. In the various departments
the work goes on the same from one
year's end to another, and one would
scarcely realize how great the number
of employees in the various departments
Is. In the Treasury Department there
are over 3,500 employees, divided as
follows: Divisions of the Secretary's
ofilee, 557; Bureau of the Mint, 12; Su
pervising Surgeon-General's office, 17;
Office of Inspector General of Steam
boats, 6; Bureau of Statistics, 37; Life
Saving Service, 17; Office of Light
house Board, 36; Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, 1,008; Supervising Archi
tect's oflice, 90; First Comptroller's
office, 58; Second Comptroller, 63;
Comptroller of Currency, 89; Office of
Commissioner of Customs, 33; First
Auditor, 56; Second Auditor's, 151;
Third Auditor's, 137; Fourth Auditor's,
46; Fifth Auditor's, 28; Sixth Auditor's,
277; United States Treasurer's Offiee,
281; Register's, 192; Office of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, 222;
United States Coast Survey, 100.
In the State Dopartment there are but
86 clerks.
In the War Department there are
1,600 clerks, as follows: Secre.tary's
Office, 89; Adjutant General's Ofli,
448; Inspector General's Office, 5;
Quartermaster General's Department,
170; Paymaster General's Department,
55; Engineer Department, 215; Ord
naneo Department, 18; Signal Office,
128; Bureau of Military Justice, 8;
Col. Casey's Bureau for Building the
State, War and Navy Departments, 140;
Office of the Publication of Official ReI
cords of the Rebellion, 43.
The Interior Department clerks num
ber 1,666, as follows: Secretary's
Office, 128; Patent Office, 448; Land
Office, 261; Pension Office, 670; Indian
Office, 66; Geological Surveys, 50; Ed
ucaticn Bureau, 34; Railroad Bureau,
9. The Census Office, which is really
a branch of the Interior Department,
numbered last year 680, and these
should be added to the number in the
Interior Department, iakina 2,346.
In the Post Office Department (prop
or) the employees number 488; in the
Department of Justice, 59; in the De
partment of Agriculture, 103; Govern
ment Printing Office, 1,843; so that
really the number employed in the Gov
ernment Departments on duty in Wash
ington is about 10,000. This is exclu
sive of the Capital, City Post Office,
and District Government offices.
This body of Government employees
forms not only a large, but a very intel
ligent and agreeable element of thie pop
ulation of Washington. A large pro
portion of them are people of thouwrht,
edlucation, and refinement, and titeir
presence would be an acquisition to any
community. --Wasin'ugon ~Star..
Thior'ugh Cultivation of Corn.
The value of corn as an article of food
for man and boast should lead the farm
er bo0th to give the greatest possible at
tention to its cultivation. No other
ordinary crop yields better returns for
the amount of labor bestowed upon it;
and, indeed, to secure a good crop the
most thorough cultivation is not only
dlesirable, but absolutely necessary. T1'he
plantmng once done, the work should be
considered as but little more than begun.
As soon as the growth is suflicient to be
distinguishedl from the surroundinrr
wcedls, the field should be hoed, the
weeds cut down, and the ground loos
ened and mellowed. It is too often the
case that no attention is given the crop
until large enough to harrow, when the
rrround( has become baked and dIry and
he corn is choked by weeds. Later on
comes the plowving or harrowing,
wvhich should be thoroughly and care
fully done. There is no reason why a
large portion of the field should 1)e in.
jutred or destroyed by ''tramping out,''
or plowing out, and a little care in this
direction will result in much good.
TJhen the hoeing which follows should
be considered as a most important part
of the work of cultivation, and can not
be too thoroughly performed. The dirt
should be loosened about the hills, and
roots where the plow or hat-row has not
ouched, and every part of the ground
overturned. Later in the season, and
when it is generally thought unnecessa
ry to bestow further attention upon the
corn-field, a second or third hoeing- will
producc ood results. The soil can not
be too of ten stirred and softened and
exposed to the wvarmth of the sun, the
latter condition being one of the priinci
pal requisites to a healthy growth and
fruitful yield. Faithfully performed,
the work given to the cultivation of corn
will yield manifold. The failure to se
cure a good crop Is quite as often due to
a lack of proper cultivation as to any
other adverse condition.--N. Y. 0b
