Farm, Garden and Household. The Buckwheat Crop. A friend writing from Wyoming county, X.Y., to tlie Germantown Telegraph, thus discourses on the advantages und disadvantages of the buckwheat crop : I have for many years raised buckwheat for " pan-cakes;" but 1 have not undertaken to compare it with other grains as feed for any kind of animals. But as I have discovered that it will grow in large quantity upon the same, without any other seeding than what falls in harvesting and securing, I am disinclined from recommending it as a general crop. Besides, I know that, when I have raised it, it would not give a remunerative crop without careful manuring. I first knew it to fail on a piece of beautiful land in Farmersville, Cattaraugus county, N. Y. The land had not been previously sown with buckwheat. The soil was a remarkable fine, dark-colored loam. I thought it had been well fitted for the crop. I soon after left Cattaraugus, and removed to Wyoming county. In Wyoming I have i had several croos on the same ground, ! but tlie diminished yield each year convinced me that buckwheat is not a graiu that I can recommend. With regard to a large yield, I have to affirm that in over sixty years of observation I have seen but. one large yield, and that fell short of fifty bushels. Buchwheat is not, in my judgment, a good crop to manure land. It is of a cold, watery nature. Most kinds of grass, will improve the condition of the land for a following crop. Bnt for wheat no other vegetable known to me eqnals clover. As I have said in regard to other grains, so I say in regard to buckwheat?the land should bo well drained and well Babsoiled. About Sick Animal*. Nearly all sick animals become so by improper feeding, in the first place. In nine cases out of ten the digestion is wrong. Chnrcoal is the most efficient and rapid corrective. It will cure in a majority of cases if properly administered. An example of its use: The hired man came in with the intelligence that one of the finest cows was very sick,and a kind neighbor proposed the usual drugs and poisons. The owner, being ill, and unable to examine the cow, concluded that the trouble came from overo fnnpnnfnl rf i nl. verized charcoal given in water. It was ! mixed, placed in a junk bottle, the 1 head held upward, and the water and charcoal poured downward. In five | minutes improvement was visible, and in a few hours the animal was in the pasture quietly eating grass. Another instance of equal success occurred with a young heifer which had become badly bloated by eating preen apples after a hard wind. The bloat was so severe that the sides were almost as hard as a barrel. The old remedy, saleratus, was tried for correcting the acidity. But the attempt to put it down always caused coughing, and it did little good. Half a teacupful of fresh powdered charcoal was next given, and in a few hours all appearance of bloat had gone, and the heifer was well.?Live Stock Journul. I'o-operntlve Implements. At an exhibition and test of American reapers at Grignon, in France, it was remarked that the presidents of the various local agricultural associations were the most and interested observers. After close and painstaking investigation of the merits of the various competing implement1, these gentlemen pur/iliuca^l I'll rrole f/iV fllfil'r rUfin^pfil'A OfiflA. ciations, with the view of hiring the machines out to their fellow-members, thus saving a very considerable investment in buying singly for individual use. The plan adopted is to ofler the use of the machine at public auction, the highest bidder having the first claim. Tlio reserve bid is $tl,for which amount the u>e of the mucbiue for the harvest is granted, those goiug above this limit taking precedence in proportion to the amount of their ofler. This idea is worthy of consideration by our own agricultural associations. A Specimen of Spanish Cruelty. A most touching instance of heroism, and one of the most atrocious acts o cruelty, the truth of which is vouched for by the most respectable authority, occurred during the Columbia struggle for independence. The Spanish General Morillo, the most, bloodthirstv and trecherous tool of the Spanish King, was created Count W of Cartagena and Marquis de la Pueria, for services which rather entitle him to the butcher or hangman. While seat? d in his tent one day, he 6aw a young boy before him drowned in tears. The chief demanded of him for what purpose lie was there. The child replied that lie had come to beg the life of his father, then a prisoner iti Morillo's camp. " What c;iu yon ilo to save your father?" asked t lie General. " I can ilo bnt little, but what I can shall be done." Morillo si ized the little fellow's ear, w and said.: "Would you suffer your ear to be ^ taken off t<? procure your father's life ?" "I certainly would," was the undaunted reply. The boy wept, but did not resist while the baibarous order was executed. " Would you lose your other ear rather than fnil of your purpose ?" was the next question. " I have suffered much, bnt for my father I can suffer still," was the answer of t he boy. The other ear was taken off piecemeal, 1 without flinching on the part of the i noble boy. i "And now go!" exclaimed Morillo, i untouched bv his sublime courage; "the i father of such a son must die." ] In the presence of his agonized and vainly-suffering son, the patriot father i was executed. I Never did a life picture exhibit such i truthful lights and shades in national I character; such deep, treaclious villainy < ?such lofty enthusiastic heroism ! New Discipline. General Orel Ins recommended a i change in the method of nrmy disci- ' plino. Tn case of the trial of a private, i1 he would have two of the same grade at the Court, and not have different methr ods of justice for commissioned officers and enlisted men. It is claimed for this innovation that it would elevate the condition of enlisted men, and would result in securing a superior material for the ranks of the army, at the deterioration of which army officers now so much eomp'ain. It is maintained that this change in the military law would remove one cause of jealousy and desertion, which lias now become so general , -' iu the military service. This principle k has long boon adopted in the German army, where it is said to have been ac- i companicd by good results, The Spanish Warfare. Hon. S. S. Cox, in his address to the Cuban meeting, said: This question is one which concerns our Government and flag. It does not go to the enfranchisement of Cuba. That is incidental and consequential. It has in it none of the elements of sympathy. What, then, is the repara- j tion ? Is the loss of the vessel only to be made good ? Are the lives of the butcher Burriel and his mob of volunteers to be demanded ? Will that restore the life of Fry or of Ryan or the men who were sacred under our flag ? Is not the remedy one which reaches further? Is our flag nothing? Nothing to commerce ? Is it only a dish-rag, or an emblem of power? This inquiry is one that turns us back to the peculiar rule of Spain in Cuba. The power of Spain has been for a century dying cn our continent; but as she has retreated from the hemisphere her skirts have been < i -t ?j ,.i rp|iri oeuraggeu auu eiuggcu nmi last massacre is but the horrible ami damnable iteration of thousands of other butcheries. Since October, 18C8, when the insurrection began, Spain has waged relentless war. In 1869 we had the record then of 107,000 Spanish troops sent out to conquer 1,500,000 people. There were infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, marines, and volunteers, not to speak of fifty vessels of war with over 200 guns, and since then probably as many troops more. In such a warfare, so extensive and prolonged, one might have supposed that the laws of moderation and humanity, as laid dewn by Yattel for such cases, would obtain. But it has been a war witnout pity, without remorse. Rapacity and despotism, confiscation and butchery, have added daily significance to the fiag of Souin, which?red and yellow?is a river of blood between margins of gold. There are no prisoners in this war. Whether taken on sea or lund, death?sudden and horribledeath with mutilation, death without even the consolations of religion to the condemned. These volunteer fiends would not even allow the Bishop sent from Spain to laud at Havana, because he believed in giving to the dying patriot the holy sacrament. Look at this book of blood which I hold in my hund?"Martyrs of Liberty in Cuba !" See the numbers of those executed from 1868 to 1871. There are 1,828, whose names and residences are given, and from the Spanish ofiieial record. Here are 2,650 names whore fate is unrecorded. Sixty-one dedicated in death to the garrotte ! The rest of the list are of the condemned and transported, rn? ?1? rr..?. J-UUUUY illinium. nun iuiitu v/i auiuiv suffering do these victims represent ? God knows ! Nearly 5,000 persons not killed on the battle-field. Others condemned who are absent; among them both sexes, many of them upon the chain-gang. Do you wonder, then, at such utrocities as those the other day at Santiago ? Wonder no more when you read the sanguinary orders of the various Captains General. On March 24, 18G9, Dnlce orders all vessels " in Spanish waters or upon the high seas near the island" to be seized and the men on board to be treated as pirates, and, without regard to their number, to be immediately executed. In April following the Tiger of Jiguani,Valmascda, at Bavamo, issues an order that "every man above fifteen years of age, away from home and without a justified motive, shall be shot." The habitations are to be burned and the women to be forcibly ejected if found away from their homes, and what not of brutal despotism. It curdles the blood to ? -l ? j? ii J:.I reuu or pointer over imtno uiituunuui orders, so infernally executed. Was there uo protest made by our Government ? Yes. In the following August Gen. Graut instructed our Minister to say to Spain tlmt the time had come when the struggle should he carried 011 in a more humane manner. Iu October, 18f?!l, Mr. Fish told the Spanish Minister that 011 the score of humanity and neighborhood foreign intervention was justifiable. So, too, there was special protest against seizure on the high seas, emphatic and cogent, 011 paper. What Is Man, Chemically I An exchange gives n new answer to the old question. For the Scriptural assertion, " All flesh is grass," it substitutes this, " Man is but a few bottles of Congress water. Its position i6 maintained as follows: " Man may be viewed from almost any standpoint. We speak of the tall man, the short man, the corpulent man, the lean man, and, in an intellectual and moral sense, of the wise man, the foolish man, the good man and the bad man. We now propose to look at the chemical man. We see him in all his solidity and strength, and sometimes as dry and tough as leather. We place him upon the scales and he weighs 140 pounds. Now, who would ever dream that this identical man is a "standing body" of water, with a few pounds of solid mixture ? It is even so; seventy per cent, at least of him is water. Analyze him and yon will find 101 parts of water and only 39 parts of solid substance. Hum hiiu and you will get a few ashes, that's all; the rest lias been consumed or evaporated. Nearly 20 pounds of the solid in this man is carbon, and, of course, will burn. Nearly 30 pounds of the solid 40 will disappear in the process of burning,and you have left only some 10 pounds of bone ashes. Eight pounds of these bones are phosphate of lime, and the balance of the solid substance in the body is phosphate of magnesia, of potash and of soda, with a small amount of miiioriiU iii tln? furni of fliliiriile of sodium, ami of potassium, oxide of irou, carbonate of soda and sulphate of j potash. " Now, if we compare this man with j \ bottle of ' Congress water' we shall find that he is made up of nearly the same materials, with some slight differences in the proportion of iugredisuts." Slaughtering. The Australian method of slaughter- j ing bullocks seems to bo an improvement on the usual mode. At Sydney the animals are driven by five at a time into the slaughter-house, where there is 110 person to be seen. While they are rpiietly staring around the strangely quiet apartment, a man silently passes above them, walking along the open beams which closely cross the house. He is armed with n lance with n point like a mortising chisel. One by one the bpnsts are pierced with this weapon just behind the horns ; they drop instantly, and, as soon as all are down, ! the othir men waiting in the next apart- \ ment enter, and bleed and dress the carcasses. Wade, the mnrdcrer, who was hung in Pennsylvania, left $21,000 secreted where no one can find it, The Law of Longevity. At the meeting of the American Boart Health Association, a paper was reat by Dr. Nathan Allen, of Lowell, Mass. upon what he denominated tho "Lawo: Longevity." In this essay some nev and, if true, very important views wer< presented. This gentleman has devotee special attention for many years t< physiology in its bearings upon th< the changes and increase of population and is the author of several pamphlet: upon this and kindred subjects, whicl have attracted much attention. He maintaius that nature has estab lished a great law of increase, whicl applies not only to the human race, bu prevails with modified conditioni throughout the whole animal and vege table kingdom. This law is based ii j physiology upon the perfectionism o i structure and harmony of function, or I in other words, that every organ in tin system should be perfect in its struc ture, and that nil should perform full] their respective functions in harmou] with each other. Upon this same basii or foundation Dr. Alleu places the la? of longevity, and in the paper referrei to adduced manv strikiue facts and ar guments in its favor, of which we cai give only a brief synopsis. The exist ence of such n law is supported by nl the well-known truths in Physiology and Pathology. Every change from i normal to an abnormal state, or in thi ; prevention and cure of disease, affordi | evidence of such a law. The pre-requisites to, or necessary | conditions of longevity, Dr. Allen (lis ; cussed under three heads : first, Fount constitution; second, laws of inheri tance, and third, obedience to the law of hygiene. In order to secure goot health and long life, a sound and well balanced physical organization is fount indispensable. But where is our guidt or standard to test this soundness o: balance ? We have only approximation! towards this standard, and a grea diversity of opinions respecting them becuuso there is no universal type o: perfect model upon which to base on: judgments. In some respects the human body, ii its normal state, may be compared to i perfect machine made of many com plicated parts. How different tin working or ruuning of such a mncbirn from that of one imperfectly construct ed and unequallylbalanced? The on< seldom needs repairs ; the other, fre queutly. It is so in reference to tin body. Whenever a certain organ oi ! class of organs are relatively too larg< or too small, or are exercised too mucl or not enough, causing a want of liar mony in their action, there must hi greater liability to disease. How oftei it happens that somo slight derange ment or trifling weakness operates ai an entering wedge to the most serioui and dangerous diseases ? Ilence tin importance of a sound and well balanced constitution, and the neurei the approximation can be made to i the better. This is indispensable, no ' ? --? ? in 1 A / __ i i only ior gooa neaun, out ior ioiig me But such a constitution can be securec only from long-lived ancestry. Tliii accords with universal experience, ai well as with all the principles of physi ology. If we apply the well-knowi law, that "like begets like," to th< healthiest families found, and observi it through several generations, the result will be, that we obtain very sounc and healthy constitutions. Longevity is not dependent so mucl upon climate or food or employment ai upon the physicnl organization itself It is true these have a powerful influ ence upon health, but they are second ary ngeuts. The general law exists ii the body, and not outside. Tho law: of inheritance are ft part of it; so ari the principles of hygiene. It is not i mere theory or speculative hypothesis but can be easily comprehended am applied. There is one placo where i can be made of incalculable value, viz. in the matter of life insurance. It fur nislies the medical examiner a stundan of organization of which the coustitu tion of all persons applying for life it) surnnce can be compared, enabling bin to judge very correctly what are the de viations from the normal standard then, what are the liabilities to disease and what are the probabilities of louj life? It points out the true sources an< means of health and life, and that ther is no chance or mystery in them. I 1 ib-i -11 11.., ~1...

T' describe all the various ways in whiel this law of longevity may he practical!; applied, would require, said the writer a volume. The closing paragraph o this paper was as follows : It expound correctly the great laws of inheritauc which furnish the groundwork?tk prerequisite, for good health and loni life. It teaches the absolute necessit; in the outset of possessing a soum constitution?a well-balanced orgauizn tion.

It teaches every iudividua more clearly what are the pecnlinritiei and weuknessesof his own constitution as well as what are his particular dan gers or liabilities to disease. It is tlii exact, this definite and personal know! edge that may be turned to the greates account in the preservation of health If every individual could thus be madi thoroughly acquainted with lus owi physiology, together with the laws o hygiene in his own case, we shouh soon see a most surprising diminutioi r?f Ki'clrnnnu ns well as of earlv moi tality. Wood in Salt Minos. It is said that in tlie salt mines o Hungary and Poland the galleries ar supported by wooden pillars, which las unimpaired for ages, in consequence o their having been impregknted with tli s ilt. Pillars of brick and stone, usei for the same purpose, crumble away ii a short timeby the decay of their mortar It is also found that wooden piles driv en into the mud of salt marshes last fo an unlimited time, and the practice o docking timber by immersing it fo some time in sea water after it has beei seasoned, is generally admitted to mak the timber moro durable. Externa causes of decay, such as dampness, ma; be made inoperative by the painting o the wood, but dry rot takes plooe irre speetive of the presence of paint, am seems to be due moro to heat than b dampness. Possibly 6alt might be si used as to preserve wood from dry rot while paint would protect it from at mospkerio causes of decay. The Shooting of the Forty-Eight. I In onr edition of yesterday, says 3 1 paper in Havana, we mentioned the ar, rival of the war steamer Bazan, which f left Santiago de Cuba at noon of the 8th 7 instant, and gave notice of the number 5 of thoso executed. Tried by the Naval 1 | Council holding its session upon the > Tornado, were condemned to death the ; captain and thirty-six of the sailors, or ? ; of those called sailors, of the Virginius, * for among the former canio persons 1 ; who belonged in 110 way whatever to j the legitimate crew. They were execu* I ted on the shore ; the firing-party have 1 ! been detailed from the marine force o 1 1 our vessels.

Neither 1 the captain, crew, nor the expeditioniste 3 of the Virginias concealed their guilt? 8 otherwise so apparent?but, on the contrary, they confessed that they were F bringing a cargo of arms (2,000 guns, - we believe), ammunition, provisions, 1 and other warlike stores, and that they - came to disembark upon the coast ol 9 Cuba with the object of giving new life 1 to the rebellion and to extend it through - the country.
