. " ??? * i .. Farm, Garden and Household. Long Island Cora. I live on the south side of Long Island, at the head waters of the gTeat South Bay; our soil generally is a sandy loam, although of great variety; yetit is favorable for the growth of Indian corn, and in ordinary fruitful years we have good crops of this Btaple, as well of wheat, rye, oats, etc. Some 40 or 50 years ago we planted the large-eared 10, 12, 14, and even 18-rowed variety, with stalks to correspond ; but oqr occasional severe drouths (one of which we had last summer) were too severe to support stalks and ears both, and of oourse the ears had to succumb, as the stalks grew first and absorbed all the moisture and most of the manure. We then ohanged to a small eight-rowed?? Wk T*kifo anrl vollnw. al? B)U WiObJT, uvvu niun. ._v though the yellow was a smaller variety than the white, but did well on our light, sandv soils, but for heavier ones the white (being larger ears and stalks) was considered more profitable. But as we improved our farms by manuring and cultivation, the stalks of our white corn became, like the old variety, too large for the ear, which we oould regulate by the seed. I at length found a "similar variety of the same oolor and number of rows, but with a much smaller stalk, small oob, and a larger ear and kernel than the former variety. It is this latter which I will endeavor to desoribe. The past season has not been favorable for the corn crop, on account of the drouth continuing so long as to deprive the ear as well as the stalk of sufficient moisture, although I have saved for seed, while husking, sopae ten or more bushels of ears, whioh are filled out, or capped, as farmers call it, over the small end. Last season I Bayed some 15 or 20 bushels, many of which ears grew two on a stalk, and 1 T -1?!1 ~J nf fVimri oh W lit?

As it respects saving of fodder in. husking, after a suitable time for curing I cart my corn on the stalks into my barns as I wish it to husk ; this saves all the loose busks and litter for the stock ; ,r-, , the smaller stalks I separate for my horses, which they eat clean without i* y ~ cutting, and whioh, with our meadow hay and a little grain, keeps them in apple-ple order, prevents heaves, and enables us to sell our English hay and thus profitably "kill two birds with one stone.?John S. Jeasup, Suffolk Co.. N. Y. Tht Model Sheep Man. The best sheep man we ever heard of was a soldier, who saw somewhere how yaluable sheep are for renovating wornout land, and after the cruel war was over, he went home to his poor farm, and bought thirteen ewes, all that, for1"* moo oKlo fr? V?nv TTo nnk VUUAVTlJi UO nwo wv?v ?w ??y . ? x them in a small field of briars and weeds, which they soon destroyed, then he led them on bran and meal. In the winter he sheltered them well, feeding oats and swamp bay, and in the spring he had thirteen fine lambs. Saving the manure, he planted the old briar patch with corn, and harvested a fine crop. All his spare time was devoted to caring for the sheep. The next spring he had more lambs; he was able to plant more corn; then came more lambs, when he sowed clover and grew tnrnips; and now, to-day, as the result of such small beginnings, ho has several hundred fine young sheep, free from disease, bringing him $2,000 a j| year, while his farm has become ex^4 tremely fertile, and he is a rich man. ' ^We know that thousands and thousands of poor young men have a free oourse open to them to beoome wealths by beginning in the same way. Bn the trouble is, the way is too humbl# and slow ; they want to get along faster ; they have no patience, no faith, no pluck. Truly, it does seem small busi' ness to watch a dozen sheep, as if it were beneath the attention of a bright American youth ; but if said youth will look the subject all over he will see it worthy of all his powers. A young man can well afford to sit down with a dozen sheep on the plains, live in a dug out, and feed on antelope meat, rather than undertake to become independent in a city on a clerkship of $1,000 a year. Maxims in Life. John McDonougb, the millionaire of New Orleans, has engraved upon his tomb a series of maxims prescribed as the rule for his guidance through life, to which his success in business is mainly attributed. They contain so much wisdom that we copy them : Rules fob Guidance of My Life, 1804. Remember always that labor is one of the conditions of our existence. Time is gold ; throw not one minute away, but place each one to acoount. Do unto all men as you would be done by. Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day. Never bid another do what you can do yourself. Never covet what is not yonr own. Never think any matter so trifling as not to deserve notice. Never give out that which doe.3 not first come in. Never spend but to produce. Let the greatest order regulate the transactions of your life. Study, in your course of life, to do the greatest amount of good. Deprive yourself of nothing necessary to your comfort, but live in an honorable simplicity. Labor, then, to the last moment of vour existence. Pursue strictly the above rules, and the Divine blessing and riches will flow upon yon to your heart's content; but, first of all, remember that the chief and great duty of your life should be to tend, by all means in your power, to the honor and glory of our Divine Creator. Without temperance there is no health ; without virtue, no order ; without religion, no happiness ; and that the aim of our being should be to live wisely, soberly, and righteously. A gambler, who makes the Maine railroads dangerous for fools, caught a Tartar the other day. The stranger fonnd those four kings in his euchre hand, and was quite eager to bet. Of course the professor had the four aces. The two men kept raising until the gambler had his last dollar on the board. Then the " green one " arose and slapped down a pocketbook containing nine hundred dollars. The professor went through the train showing his hand, and endeavoring to borrow so as to get a "sight" for his money. No one woirid lend him, and after a time the stranger raked in the two hundred dollars on the board, smiled benevolently, and got off at the next station. ? The Famlae in India. Imminence and Extent of the Danger. The London Times devotes its leading editorial to a vigorous article on the famine in Bengal, decrying the red tape system in vogue and urging the Yioerov to be guided by instinct rather than by precedent and evidenoe. The editor says: ' h Ic is not possible to read with any attention the successive letters ani telegrams from Calcutta without a fearful misgiving that we are on the eve of a terrible and irreparable disaster. In a very few weeks we may And ourselves reoording the irresistible progress of such a famine as that in Orissa, and that other nearer home, twenty-eight years ago. All the figures point to suoh a conclusion. There appears to be such a distrust oi native statements, as alarmist or interested, that the heads of the government are devoting themselves to the task of divesting them of exaggeration. They who speak in behalf of the cultivators seem wild in their terror, while the proprietors, and with them the mercantile class, seem more disposed to suoh an estimate of the impending dearth as would make it unnecessary to interfere with the regular oourse of trade. The effect of the government purchases for the relief works has already been to raise the prices at Calcutta, and to lower them in the districts threatened by famine. * * * * " The population immediately affected by the drought and the consequently bad harvest is nearly equal to that of Great Britain. But there are a a HI I* 1 L important uinert,*ucua uciwcuu tuou case and ours. They depend almost entirely upon their crops?that is, upon the rain from heaven. They have no other industry or wealth to speak of, and the whole constitution ef their society is agricultural. Being inland, they cannot, as in our case, be reached by a hundred open and accessible ports well able to receive and diffuse the produoe of eveiy food-producing country in the world. Those twenty-five millions are surrounded by other millions wanting all the food they can grow, and only less affected by the dearth. Northward lie the mountains; Northwest are provinces which can lend but little help. All, or nearly all, depends on what can be done from Lower Bengal. When all things are taken into account?the existing store, the possible aid from the Cpper Provinces, and the results of the forthcoming winter harvest, of which there are so many conflicting estimates, but which at the best will be but a fraction compared with the harvest which has passed and failed?it will still be necessary that the distressed and jeopardized population reoeive from Bengal more than two thousand tons of rice a day for the whole period of the pressure. That is upon a low calculation of what is necessary to support life, and, as the deficiency has been calculated at four months, it follows that considerably more than 200,000 tons of rice, or rather grain, will be required, it mu6t be said, at the liandB of the AngloAa?tI A f r? *n/>nnf /lafn XilUiOU VXVTCiUUiOUV. AU H *wvu? uuw only about 25,000 tons, that is, about a fortnight's 6upply?had been stored for the relief works?hardly a tithe of the whole believed to be necessary. It is evident, then, that the work is only begun, and that force will have to be applied to public opinion, and not less to the energies and the resources of the administration. England cannot bear so great a scandal as that which threatens her, and which certainly will be attached to us if she fails at this emergency ; nor will it give her credit that she has faithfully stood to the inexorable law of political economy and free trade." To more clearly understand this article, it should be borne in mind that Bengal is threatened not only with a food famine, but with one of water also. The Hooghlv at Serampore in November was as low as it hod been in the hottest months of' the year, and the tanks in its neighborhood were threatening to dry up. A gentleman writing to one of the Caloutta papers says : " The scarcity of water attracts much notice." This new form of danger Sir G. Campbell appears to have recognized by a timely offer of loans to municipalities and landowners for the making of new and the deepening of old wells, the cleaning out of tanks, and the improvement of other sources of water supply. A Husband's Fatal Mistake. Reuben M. Murdock, a special officer who does police duty in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, shot and killed his wife, Emma C. Murdock. He says that his wife started to visit some friends in Flatbueh.with the intention -i -a * -11 -lAi? "Ar J _ -1- 1_ _ 01 staying uii niguir luuraocs, wno was off duty, remained at home in the evening. About half-past 9 o'clock his attention was attracted by a noise in the yard. Taking his revolver, lie went into the yard and saw a form entering his cellar door. He fired, and the heavy fall of the supposed intruder testified to the accuracy of his aim. He rushed to the spot, and was horrified to find his wife, with a bullet in her head. Death was instantaneous, as she did not utter even a groan. The police and neighbors were soon on the spot, and Murdoch was arrested The police were unable to find any evidence to contradict the assertions of the husband, but locked him up pending an investigation. Murdock is a middleaged man, and is said to have been at one time a captain of police in a neighboring city. The neighbors are unaware of any domestic troubles, and those acquainted with the family believe that the shooting was accidental. The Brain. This organ has been studied with three objects: the descriptive anatomy of its parts, the comparison between the braiu of man and apes, tho illustration of function. After a pretty careful study of specimens and consultation of all workB in which brains are accurately delineated,we feel justified in asserting that we cannot as yet characterize the fissural pattern of any mammalian order, family, genus, or even species, without the risk that the next specimen will invalidate our conclusion; that our studies in this direction should be based upon the careful comparison of accurate drawings of a much larger number of specimens than now exist in any museum; that nearly allied forms of carnivora should be compared, and that the most satisfactory results aro obtainable from large series of foetal and young brains of the same speeies, and if possible, family and sex, in order to estimate the minor differences. A well known authoress gives it sb an item of domestic felicity that the man of the family should be ab.tent at least is hours per day. m * XLIIld CONGRESS. BXMATS. Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, in discussir the Salary bill, thought the whole eyetem < mileage wrong. It cost him but ?5 to oorr from Harris burg here, yet he received mileage. Members might go around evei which way to get to the capital, and thit themselves justified in drawing mileage f< the whole distance traveled. The Oovemmei of the United States thinks it is right in sen< ing the mail for Elmira from here to Baltimor then to Philadelphia and New York, and the to Elmira, though Elmira ie nearer to Waal ington than it is to New York. Mr. Sargent, of Cal., presented a petition < Susan B. Anthony and others asking thi women be allowed to vote, or that the san right be extended to them as to colored men. Mr. Cameron, of Pa., presented the memori of the Russian Mennonites, setting forth th they desired to become citizens of the UniU States, and asking that they be allowed I occupy publlo lands. Objected to. Mr. Conkling offered a substitute for tl House Salary bill and all the amendments, r pealing the act of March S. except that portic relating to the salaries of the President at Supreme Judges, and providing that all ba< pav returned be declared the money of tl United States; tbe bill waB passed after di sussion in which the leading members Ux part by a vote of 50 Yeas to 8 Nays. The House resolution to fill the vacancies i the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian I stitution was taken np and passed. The Cba appointed Mr. Sargent, of California, a memb of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonii Institution on the part of the Senate. Eulogies were pronounced on the late Janr Brooks and W. I). Foster, and resolutions < respect adopted. Mr. Ferry, of Michigan, said as he shared the public anxiety that the Senate should a on the question of finance immediately, 1 proposed to modify his substitute for the res lution of the committee, so as to narrow tl subject down to a moderate increase of tl currency. He, therefore, withdrew the su stitute formerly presented by him, and su nutted the following: " That the Committee on Finance bo direct* to report to tho Senate, at as early a day i practicable, each measures as will restore cor mercial confidence, and give stability ai elasticity to the circulating medium through moderate increase of the currency." Mr. Frelinghuysen presented a bill to secui resumption of specie payments without co trading the currency, and it was referred the Committee on Finance. It authorizes tl Secretary of the Treasury to issue $225,000,0 of six per cent, ten-forty bonds, to be disposi of from time to time, for the purpose or pu chasing $200,000,000 of gold ooin, with whicn redeem legal-tender notes of the United State and it shall be in the discretion of the Secreta of the Treasury, so soon as he shall deem it e pedient, with such amount of gold as for tl time being he may have procured, to commem and continue the redemption of legal tendeT When redeemed they are not to be reissue exoept in exchange for gold coin at par, ai when so reissued ther snail be redeemable gold coin, but the total amount of legal tende outstanding and redeemed shall at no time e ceed $356,000,000. The bill farther providi that if, after commencing said redemption, tl Government shall be unable to redeem a pa of said legal tenders in gold, the Secretary mi redeem them by exchanging the aforesaid boni at par for them. Senator Conkling. of N. Y., presented memorial of the New York Chamber of Coc merce calling the attention of Congress to tl inefficiency of the merchant marine service i the United States. The resolution from the Finance Commits looking to a resumption of specie payment was discussed. Mr. Schurz delivered a lengtt speech in which he urged an immediate r sumpuon 01 specie payments, iuiu uppoocu c inflation of the currency. Caleb Cushing's nomination to be Chi Justice was withdrawn by the President, In his reply to the Finance report of Senat Schurz, Mr. Morton, of Indiana, said : " T1 United States could not be guided by the e perienoe of England in the matter of co: traction. There was hardly a man living fh miles from a bank, and most of them lived I towns and villages in sight of banks. T1 facilities for bank credits there were mu< greater than in this country, and there was n the necessity for so great a volume of cu rency. England, with her 81,000,000 neopl has $600,000,000 currency. And the Uwt< States, with her forty million people, had 011 eight million currency. He aid not think o currency redundant. * It had Deen argued th we had built railroads too fast. He did not b Ueve a Senator on this floor would sav h State had one railroad too many. Probab sometimes they had been built m advance 1 settlement, but they were always the pionee of civilization. He desired to again state th: the recent panic in our country did not sprit out of any defect in our currency. The cu rency did not run down during the panic, bi -on the contrary increased in value. He sa behind all this contraction argument the o State banking system looming up. Mr. Howe, of Wis., introduced a bill for tl withdrawal of irredeemable national notes ai the substitution of redeemable national bat notes. B0U8K. The bill for the relief of aged or infirm pr emotion settlors on public lauds was passed. The motion made by Mr Kelley, of Peni before the holidays to suspend the rules ai adopt a resolution declaring it to be the sen of the House that the taxes shall not be i creased, but that the extraordinary meanB, any be required for the support of the Cover ment, shall be obtained by a temporary loan loans, bearing a low rate of interest in curren and redeemable in United States notes, car up for action.

Mr. Kelley, of Penn., also stated that win the chip Cathedral could not get into N< York she had to bo sent around to Philadelpl and to have her cargo discharged there a sent to New York by rail. A bill relating to United States courts w panned; a codification of the statutes was i ported, and it was agreed to hold two eveni sessions a week for its consideration. Mr. Smith, of N. Y., from ti e Committee Elections, reported a resolution declari Messrs. Wilson and Martin entitled to Bei from the First and Second Congressioi Districts of West Virginia, and a minority i port was presented by Mr. Huzelton. of Wis. The consideration of the Naval Appropriati bill was completed and the bill passed. The Committee that went to New Orleans investigate the charges against Judge Dur believe that he will be impeached. Tho Naval Appropriation bill was pass without amendment, just as it came from t committee. The entire amount appropriat is Bixtceu and a half millions. This is fully millions less than the average annual appi priations for the last five or six years, and within a million as low as the appropriation 1 1859. The House has passed, and the Sena with a slight amendment, has concurred a bill appropriating four millions for the < traordiuary expenses of the navy.

These men in very raie cun to instances have any home interest in Joh this country. They are the revolution? ists by profession in Europe. The Jju ,n greatest tyranny to which they object <__ id is not that of capital, but labor. They :k hate work. The little band of frowsy 18 conspirators which headed the move? meats which culminated in c brief row " are not a novel institution in this city. ^ in They have met and frothed and talked ^ a- weekly foryears past; but until the panio and gave time and to spare for listening to trot " evil counsel they were unheard of. I* ? Then they were swift to promise relief ou" aa of everr Kind, like Satan on the high ??* of hill, if the workingmen would only c??< . worship them. The workingmen are m* ct too sensible to think that the fsntasti c ??< ie trickB of these would-be leaders, or the wra o- excesses to which they would egg them Jfc 16 on, can remedy any of their oircum- ch stances. Socialism cannot be inaugurate ted on empty stomachs, and when froi stomachs are full the socialist dema- atoi >d gogne is left to his orations, and the " workingman rejoices tranquilly in his will ^ home life. In this broad land, where ^ a the people are the rulers, there is no ex- or cuse for turbulence to obtain that which W01 re is wrongfully lacking.
