He talked nonsense with such serious? ness, and such entire absence of anything the? atrical in his manner, that, very often he par? tially imposed upon those who knew him best. In Hingstone's "Eeminiscences of Artemus Ward," we find this account of his discussion of Hterary subjects with a lady whom he met on an Ohio river steamboat: Among the fairer portion of the passengers was aTery retiring^ quiet young lady, who wore spectacles, and who appeared to have tho man? ners and bearing of one whose occupation in life was to impart her knowledge to others in some college orseminary; that, at least was the guess Artemus and I had about her. We had noticed*her early in the afternoon, busily read? ing Aboutfs story of "Le Roi des Montagues." As soon as supper was over she resumed her reading, cutting the leaves of the book with ?& pocket paper-knife as she read on. By what means' my friend contrived an introduction, I am not aware; but I found him in conversation with her when I went to request his company to smoke a cigar with me and the two military doctors^ "Excuse me," said Artemus. "This , lady vcas asking me if I read French. It is a serious question, aud I was reflecting whether I do." The lady seemed-to be a little surprised and explained to me that she had simply asked if my friend knew the French language, as she wished to recommend to him the story she her? self had been reading daring the afternoon. "It is a story about brigands in Greece," said she, "and it is so charmingly picturesque that I can almost fancy myself to be in that classic land. As I read, the blue skies of Greece seemed to be over my head, and the iEgean Sea to be sparkling in the glorious light." Then followed a question from Artemus, which I quote as literally as I can remember it: "Pardon me, madam, but do you think that glorious sunlight in Greece is constitutional? that is to say, if early be the dream of youth? whenever they are so?and you know, I pre? sume, that George Washington, when young, never told a lie?4hat is, Greece?in the blue skies, I mean. You understand me of course ?', Instead of understanding, the lady appeared io be utterly bewildered. At first she seemed to doubt whether she had heard distinctly. The expression ou her face indicated that she had a suspicion of her not having paid sufficient at? tention bo as to enable her to comprehend the interrogatory. "Do I understand you to say that George Washington went to Greece-in his youth ?" she asked "I scarcely think I understand you." - Arter.us Ward maintained his gravity, and proceeded to explain. "I was about to remark," said he, "that as far as Greece is concerned, he was more so." "More so of what ?" asked the lady, still more perplexed. 1'More so with regard o it viewed morally. Because the iEgean is a tea?a blue sea, which might, if not under those circumstances?in parallel instances very truthfully though; but before breakfast?always before the molding meal You agree with me, I hope ?" and Arte? mus smiled and bowed politely. The lady closed her book; laid it on the ta? ble, and raising her spectacles so as to enable her to see better, regarded Artemus with amaze? ment. The ladies and gentlemen around, who had overheard the conversation, looked at the speaker with equal astonishment. Artemus shook his head mournfully, and in a deploring tone of voice observed: "Blue Greeks?blue iEgean brigands, dead before their breakfast?" "Mercy me," cried the lady. "The poor fel? low is out of his mind. Has he no friends with him? He ia much to be pitied." Profits of Farming.?No small experience and some observation convinces me that cir? cumstances being equal, farming will furnish as ample a compensation for labor, as ample a dividend upon capital invested, as the common . trades which men engage in, and even the or? dinary pursuits of mercantile and commercial life. Of course I except all matter of gambling and speculation. The returns of most crops strike one some limes with astonishment, and would, if taken as a test, lead to the most delusive specula? tions. A grain of seed sometimes returns one hundred fold, and this being sown a second year would, perhaps, give ten thousand fold, and so on, in geometrical ratio. Seventy bushels of potatoes planted will yield four hun? dred, or twenty to one; a bushel of wheat sown will yield thirty bushels, or thirty for one; a pound of earrot, beet, or ruta baga seed will produce six to nine hundred bushels, worth one ijundred dollars. The proceeds in these cases seem to be enor? mous, yet they are constantly realized, and that too in many cases at comparatively small ex? pense. But no confident conclusions of tho ex? act profits of fanning are to be drawn from such results as these, so many untold circumstances of abatement enter into the cost* that if these were the only elements given in the case, the solution of the problem would give the most erroneous and deceptive results. We are not to look to Agriculture for any or? dinary or sudden gains, as for example, the drawing of a prize in a lottery, or a shrewd speculation in stock. If you will take ten merchants with a fixed amount of capital, and ten fanners with the same amount, we will find that at the end of Imenty years the farmers have the greatest in? crease, and that it is more evenly divided among, them than among the merchants. Farming is also far safer and more certain to secure a com? petency than mercantile pursuits. I venture to say that twenty merchants fail in business to one farmer, and this ought to open the eyes of youpg men with small capital going- into busi ?&^-QvrrnantovNi Telegraphy --?? Salt fob Swiss.?While air other domestic animals are regularly supplied with salt, the hog is generally neglected. He requires, how? ever, to be as constantly supplied as the ox, the borse, or the sheep, and suffers as much for Sri vat ion as either of the above named animals o. His food; is almost invariably given to him in, a fresh, and unseasoned state, and to this fact we may doubtless attribute many of the violent and fatal diseases to which be is subject, and which stagger all remedies, however promptly and skillfully administered. If the food be not regularly seasoned, there should be a trough or j box in every sty, in winch salt may be- deposi? ted regularly for the use of animals. Season-1 ing the food* judiciously would be much the best way. As seasoning the food of the hog is mentioned above let it be understood that salt only is here alluded to, for if any person should try seasoning with pepper they will make a great mistake; for as much pepper as will suf licc lor a niau's dinner will kill a bog. The Census of the United States. The Census Bureau at Washington has re? turns bo nearly full and o Scial from * twenty nine States that they may be stated as follows, with almost entire acuracy : States. 1870. I860 Alabama.1,002,000 964,201 Arkansas. 486,100 435,450 California. 556,200 379,994 Delaware. 125,000 112,216 Florida. 189,995 140,442 Georgia.1,185,000 1,057,268 Illinois..2,540,217 1,711,951 Indiana.1,668,109 1,250,428 Iowa.1,177,515 674,913 Kansas. 353,182 107,206 Kentucky..1,323,264 1,155,684 Louisiana,. 716,394 708,002 Maryland. 780,000 687,649 Michigan.1,184,158 749,113 Minnesota. 460,037. 172,022 Mississippi. 834,190 891,305 Missouri;..1,703,000 1,182,002.

When we consider the rav? ages of the war, i* is wonderful that Missouri, where they were especially great, should have had such a growth and be now the fifth State of the Union. Virginia, has 1,656,000 inhabi? tants, or less than Indiana, which was former? ly one of her counties. In the beginning of the Government, Virginia ranked first in pop? ulation ; but now, at the best, she is but seventh and with West Virginia left off she is but the eleventh. The West and the South will have great comparative gains with the East in Con? gressional representation?the former from its increase of population, arid the: latter from the fact that for the first time all the negroes are counted in the representation. In every pre? vious census five slaves were ranked as only three persons. This greatly diminished the political power of the couth, although it was foolishly taught by demagogue at the North that it increased it. Sayings of Dean Swift.?The following aphoristical extracts from the writings of the original and inimitable wit, Dean Swift, are but specimens of the richness of the gems that may be gathered in that. Golconda of literary wealth: We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one an? other. How is it possible to expect that mankind will take advice, when they will not so much as take warning? Appollo was held the god of physic and send? er of diseases. Both were originally the same trade, and still continue. When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. Complaint is the largest tribute heaven re? ceives and the sincerest part of our devotion. The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes. The reason why so few marriages are happy is because young ladies spend their time in ma? king nets, not in making cages, i The latter part of a wise man's life is taken [up in curing the follies, prejudices and ?Use opinions he had contracted in the former. Would a writer know how to behave himself with relation to posterity, let him consider in ? old books what he finds that he is glad tu know, and what omissions he most laments. Whatever the poets pictured, it is plain they nve immortality to none but themselves; it is rlomer and Virgil we revere and admire, not Achilles or Mneaa. With historians it is quite the contrary; our thoughts are taken up with the actions, persons and events we read, and we j little regard, the authors* Inviting Death.?The New York Tribune asserts that the cause of half the vice among us is the ignorance of parents of the facts that certain nervous and cerebral diseases transmit 1 ted from themselves tend to make of their chil? dren from their birth criminals or drunkards, and that only incessant and skillful care can avert the danger. The editor then goes on to philosophize in this way: "A man drinks moderately but steadily all his life, with no apparent harm to himself, but his daughters become nervous wrecks, his boos epileptics, libertines, or incurable drunkards, the hereditary tendency to crime having its pathology and unvaried laws precisely as iscrofnla, consumption, or any other purely physical disease. These are stale truths to medical men, but the majority of parents, even those of average intelligence, are either ignor? ant or wickedly regardless of them. There will be chance of ndding our jails and almshouses of half their tenants when onr people are brought to treat drunkenness as a disease of the stomach and blood as well as of the soul, to meet it with common sense and a physician, as well as with threats of eternal damnation, and to remove gin-shops and gin-sellers for the same reason that they would stagnant ponds or un cleaned sewers. Another fatal mistake is poin ! ted out in the training of children?the system of cramming, hothouse forcing of their hraias, induced partly by the unhealthy, feverish am? bition and struggle that mark every phase of our society, and partly for the short time allow i ed for education. "The simplest physical laws that regulate the the use and abuse of the brain are utterly dis? regarded by educated parents. To gratify a mother's silly vanity during a boy's school days, says the editor, many a man is made incompe? tent and useless. If the boy shows any sign of unnatural ambition or power, instead of re? garding it as a symptom of an unhealthy con? dition- of the blood vessels or other cerebral disease, and treating it accordingly,, it is accep? ted as an evidence of genius* and. the inflamed brain is taxed to the uppermost, until it givea way exhausted." -: Buy a Home.?Every laboring poor man should buy himself a town lot, get that paid for, and then work le make the necessary im? provements. A little here and a little there will in due time produce you a home of your own, and place you out or the landlord's grasp; remenber that fifty dollars a year saved in rent will in a very few years pay for your home, and the money it costs you to move and shift about, without any loss of furniture and time, pay the interest on a five hundred dollar judg? ment against your property, until you can gradually reduce it to nothing. Yon can all buy that way?who do you ao* risk? If you fail, you are no worse off1?if you succeed, as any careful man is sure to do, you have made a home and established a basis equal to many another's, which will start you in lousiness. -m> ? Talk of precious stones, the most valuabla as well as the most useful stone in the world is the grindstone. Hints to Farmers. by the "fat contributor." Now that winter is approaching, it would perhaps be as well to discontinue haying and turn your attention to getting in your fail saw logs. No farmer can consider hi* fall work complete until he has his cellar well supplied with saw-logs. Seated around tho blazing hearth of a winter's night, there is no fruit more delicious. A correspondent asks us what we think of late ploughing. Ploughing should not be continued later than 10 or 11 o'clock at night. It gets the horse in the habit of staying out late, and unduly exposes the plow. We have known plows to acquire string-halt and inflammatory rheumatism from late ploughing. Don't do it. To another correspondent who wants us to suggest a good drain on a farm we would eay a heavy mortgage at ten per cent, will drain it about as rapidly a? anything we know of. When you make cider select nothing but tho soundest turnips, chopping them into sled length beforo cradling them. In boiling your cider use plenty of ice, and when boiling hang it up in the sun to dry. A pick-axe should never be used in picking apples. It has a ten dency to break down the vines and damage the hive. In sowing your winter apple-jack a horse rake will be found preferable to a step-ladder. Step-ladders are liable to freeze up, and are hardly palatable unless boiled with sugar. In cutting down hemlock trees for canning select only the largest. Don't throw away the chips as they Bake fine parlor ornaments, en? cased in rustic frames of salt and vinegar. The coming cold weather should suggest to the humane farmer the necessity for a good cow-shed. The following is a receipt for ma? king a good cowshed: Pour a pailful of boil? ing hot water on her back, and if that don't make a good cow-shed?her hair, we are no prophet to anybody. Now is the time for planting your winter hay. The pink-eyed southdown is probably the best variety, as it don't need polling and begins to lay early. A Good Recommendation.?A patent med? icine vender in one of our principal cities was>. dilating to a largj crowd upon tue wonderful efficacy of his iron bitters, pronouncing them the great panacea, and all-potent in building up an "iron constitution." "That is so?that is so," said a by-stander. "What he tells you is a iact, gentlemen?every word of it." "Hear that, will you ?" cried the delighted quack ; "here is living testimony right before your own eyes?a man who has usea the bit? ters, and can recommend them." "No; not exactly that," replied the old fel? low ; "I have never used the stuff myself, but, Sou see, Steve Jenkins did, and they jest saved is life." "How's that ?" questioned some one. "Well, you see, Steve had taken the bitters jest one week before he was shoved in prison for murder. He was stripped of everything in the shape of iron about him, and yet he made a bar and worked his way out." "Probably he had whiskey enough in him to furnish a bar," suggested a wag. "No, but he didn't," retorted the first. "He had been taking this man's iron bitters, d'ye mind ? and what does Steve do but open a vein. in his arm, and took iron enough out of his blood to make a crowbar, and pried the gates open with it, and let himself out. Fact!" The "medicine man" subsided. ? What is home without a sewing machine? Shiftless. ? The depth of cowardice?Fearing to strike a balance-sheet. ?

Whatever we may think of woman's right to vote and legislate, there can be no disputing her right to bare arms, and the prettier the bet? ter and more irresistible. ? "Are you connected with a paper?" asked a countryman of an inmate of the Indiana in? sane asylum ; "Oh, no," was the reply, "I have been to the insane asylnm and am cured; a man never runs a paper after he is cured." ? At a Radical barbecue the other day a black "mnn and brother" offered the following toast: "Do Gub'nor ob Alabama?He cum in wid bery little opposition; he wil go out ob offis wid none at all." ? A gypsey woman promised to show two ["young ladies their husbands' faces in apail of water. They locked and exelarmedy "Why, we only see our own faces 1" ''Well," said the gyp? sey, "those faces will be your husbands' when you are married, won't they?" ? There appears to be an abundant harvest of apples everywhere. Throughout the East they have not had such a crop for many years. Throughout the Middle States, and on the Lake Islands, there is a surfeit ; and in the West they are so plenty, and bo much cider has been made, that empty barrels, it is said, are worth more than filled ones. ? A most dreadful accident happened to a reporter of tho New York Commercial Advertiser a few days ago. He was proceeding to give the result of tho Rightmey^r triaL, near Troy, when all of a sudden he ran into the verb to wink. The reporter was not a first class inflector, and,, horrible to relate, before he conld be rescued, he had perpetrated the following: "Some of the preacher's friends claim that the charges were trumped up against him by bis personal ene? mies, and that the wink he was said to have wank he never wunk." ? Tho following coroner's verdict was re? turned last week in Calhoun county, 111.; "We the jurvs find the deceased dead man k?m to his dead in the hands of sum unbeknown pur son, with an unlawful iron weeping?named an ax, with a hickory handle; which unlauful weeping wus used with deadly intent to kill tho aforesaid Dead Man.
