Bachelor Brown’s. Courtship.
AN ENGLISH STORY.
Richard Brown had lived'a bachelor for
forty years, and declared his intention of
continuing in the state of single blessedness
for the remainder of his life—greatly to the
satisfaction of his relatives the Hinkles,
with whom he resided, for be it known.
Uncle Richard was worth a cool half mil-
lion, and the Hinkles were his only living
relations, .and unless, as Mrs. Hinkle said,
some “nasty charity” came in for his prop-
erty, who should he leave it to but to his own
cousins or their children ? .
Hopeful as poor human nature is of lo.
gevity, Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle scarcely ex-
pected to survive their cousin, who was their
junior by ten years, but Adelaide, and Rose,
and Charles, and William, might in all prob-
ability be his heirs, and to this end the
parents labored. Uncle Richard had the
. best room in the house, the best chair, the
most particular consideration. His wishes
were deferred to and his advice taken on
every occasion, and he actually came to be
loved ; for with all his quaint, old fashioned
ways, and his habit of sitting utterly silent
as though he had been deaf and dumb, he
was a lovcable man. Matters progressed
smoothly enough, until it was habit and not
hyprocrisy which made Uncle Richard mas.
ter of the house. ,
He was very obligiug—wonderfully so in
most respects. He would attend to anything
for anybody—match ribbons when nobody
else could—escort the girls to places of
amusement—go dutifully to church with
their mamma—attend to marketing and the
posting of letters, and the gas meter, and the
turning off the water in frosty weather. He
was always ready to search the house with a
poker at the dead of night, when any one
“heard a noise.”
‘ He went to the dentist with people who
wanted their teeth drawn, and always seemed
to have sugar plums in his pocket. But one
thing Uncle Richard would not do, and that
was to exhibit the least signs of politeness to
lady visitors.
He never saw one home. He never even
spent e evening in their company. He in-
variafi shut himself up in his own room
and had his tea there when one of these in-
dividuals was reported to be in the house,
and, when traveling, had been known in a
train to shut his eyes tight when a young
lady entered, and remain with them closed
till she left the carriage. Asa general thing,
indeed, he always chose a carriage where he
need not be intruded upon. . -
“It was «just as well, after all,” said Mrs.
Hinkle but it was apeculiarity not quite as
agreeable to Mr. .11.; when he found the
pleasant task of “seeing” Miss Jones, impos-
ed upon himself. He argued that such duties
were Cousin Dick’s, though he never told
him so. It would not have been pleasant to
provoke him, and if anything could have of-
fended Bachelor Brown mortally, it would
have been to insist upon his offering any gai-
lant attentions to the softer sex.
However, a day came at last which set the
whole household in commotion.
Miss Amanda Dove had been invited to
spend a week with the Hinkles, and Miss
Dove, beinga stranger, was to wait at the
station until some one came for her in a car-
riage.
The Hinkles resided some miles out of
town, and had not occupied their residence
for many months, so that. people were not al-
ways properly directed by the neighbors.
It was decided that Mr. Hinkle should es-
cort Miss Dove, but before the day of her ar-
rival dawned, business had called that gentle-
man to Sheffield. Moreover, Mrs. Hinkle
had the influenza, and the two boys were at
boarding school. No one was to be found to
drive, and neither Rose or Adelaide could
handle the reins. Miss Dove was to come at
nine, and what would she think of them if
no one came for her ?
“Indeed," said Mrs. Hinkle, “it would be
shocking treatment for the dear girl. I must
ask your Cousin Richar '."
“ You never dare, ma," said Rose,
aghast.
“In such a case, you know—” said Mrs.
Hinkle.
“He'll not do it,” said Adelaide.
-“Of course not, " said Rose.
Mrs. 'Hinkle shook her head.
“I fear he will not," she said, and, assum~
ing an expression which would have done
credit to Joan of Arc, mounted the stairs to
Cousin Richard’s study.
“Are you busy, Richard," she asked as she
entered. ' '
“Notlat all—sit down,” said the Bachelor
Brown.
“You see how ill I am," said Mrs. Hinkle;
I can hardly hold up my head, much less
drive, and Mr. Hinkle is away, and the
boys too, and no one can handle the reins,
md____"
"Well," sciatichelor Brown. _
“And there is poor Miss Dove at the sta-
tion with her trunk by this time," said Mrs.
Hinkle, witha gasp.
“Ah," said Mr. Brown, “What a pity."
Mrs. Hinkle felt she had not begun yet.
Bachelor Brown could not understand what
she wanted.
- "It's a great favor—a great favor to ask, I
know," she said, “but couldn’t you just for
once do it ?” -
“Do what, Maria,” asked Bachelor Brown.
“Go for her,” said Mrs. Hinkle.
. “For Miss Dove ?”
l ers- 1)
“Oh, dear, no,” said Cousin Richard.
“But,—-” began Mrs. Hinkle.
"Maria," said the old bachelor, “young
ladies, my little cousins excepted are my
abomination. An effected, conceited, ab-
surd set of creatures. I never had anything
to do with them, and I never will. No doubt
she's capable of finding her way here. They
all appear to be. I shan’t go for her.”
Mrs. Hinkle retreated.
“What will she think of us ?" she said sob-
biug.
“Don't cry," said Bachelor Brown, “I’ll
see if any of the hands over at the Oat's place
can drive over for her.” '
And out he went, but all the hands on Oat’s
place were busy with the hay,which stood in
.danger from a coming sho'wer,—Richard re-
turned without the least success.
“A shower too,” said Rose. “Poor dear
Amanda, I’ll try What I can do with my
cousin." ,
And in the study she spent an hour teasing
and worrying without effect.
“Let her get lost,” said Bachelor Brown.
"No doubt she’ll like it. And as for her
trunk, why can't girls travel with a portman-
teau as we do 1’"
And Rose departed pouting. She found
Adelaide in an extremely merry mood.
o
“For shame!” said Rose. ..
“Oneought to make some sacrifice for a
friend," said Adelaide. “I'll tell him she's a
child. He’s always good to children.
“It will never do," said Mrs. Hinkle,“he'll
never forgive you."
’ But Adelaide ran up to her cousin's study
and burst in with an exceedingly theatrical
laugh. '
“What a mistake 1” she said, “and so
stupid of them all. You think Amanda is a
grown young lady, don't you 1’"
“Isn’t she ?” afied the bachelor.
“As if a child of nine years could be i”
said Adelaide; “Poor little thing. "
“Poor little thing. indeed,” hurrying on
his coat and-hat. “Bless me, why didn’t
you mention it ! poor little scul! ”
And in a few minutes the light wagon was
driven down the road, anti the Hinkles stood
looking after it.
"I'm half frightened,” said Rose.
“So aiu I,” said Adelaide. “But its done
and it can‘t be helped now. I'll manage to
coax him to forgive me,and it wouldn't do to
leave a friend in such a position you know ;
and I didn’t say she was a child."
MeanWhile Bachelor Brown drovs to" the
station. It was a long drive over a bad
road but he kept on his way very cheer-
fully. Hc was extremely fond of chil-
dren.
When on reaching the station, h.saw no.
sign of her presence, he grew alarmed. If
she had been lost through his neglect he
could never forgive himself. He ran his fin-
gers into his curly hair and peeped into the
ladies' waiting room; Only. a very flill
grown young woman sat there, and he re.
treated. The woman who waited in the
apartment came out of her nook with a cour-
tesy as she saw him, and he addressed her :
“Have you seen a little girl waiting for
someone i"
“No sir, said the woman. “There were
two that came down, but they are gone.”
“Oh, dear! oh, dear 1” said Bachelor
Brown; “I hope there’s no mistake. It's
a little Miss Dpvc and if the dear little soul
has gone astray I'm entirely to blame. Please
make inquiries. There's a good woman i”
As he uttered these words the full grown
young-lady in the waiting room was seen to
blush violently and arise. _ V
“I’m Amanda Dove,” she said, “and ex-
pected some one from Mr. Hinkle’s.”
Bachelor Brown looked aghast. He had
spoken of this lady as a “dear little thing.”
His face almost turned scarlet. _
“I beg your pardon, ma’am.” he' began.
“I expected to find a little girl—I wouldn’t
have used such expressions for the world
__1_
. “I comprehend ;" said the young lady ;
“don’t mind it in the least. -—-”
“Is this your trunk, ma’am ?" said Bache-
lor Brown, in a hurry.
“Yes sir,” said the lady, looking down.
In a few moments the two were driving
toward the Hinkle’s country seat. Never
had Bachelor Brown found himself so close
to any young lady, save his cousins, before.
He was woefully confused, but somehow he
liked it. How pretty she was, he thought.
How pink and white ; how golden her hair
was. How the blue ribbons on her bonnet
set it off. Then he began to wonder what
she thought of him. Wondering thus, he
forgot the road, and suddenly found that'he
had lost himself. To add to the dilemma,
the storm, which had been threatening for
hours, burst at the very moment when Bach-
elor Brown found it impossible to tell whelh.
er the left road or the right led homeward;
and the horse was afraid of lightning and
grew restive. Miss Amanda Dove was
afraid of lightning also. ' She gave a little
scream‘and clung to Bachelor Brown’s coat
sleeve.
Bachelor Brown looked down at her. -It
was such a soft, plump-hand. Her eyes were
so round and so blue in her terror that he
forgot she was a young lady.
“I'll take care of you," he said ; as a flash
of lightning, a roar of thunder, an attempt
on the part of the horse to run away, inter-
rupted him.
Miss_Dove turned pale. . Bachelor Brown
looked terrified. He cast a glance about him.
Near the road was a parsonage, connected
with its church by a garden.
“I’ll tell you what we'll do,” he said.
“We will ask for'shelter until the storm is
over. A clergyman ought to be a Christian
enough to take us in."
And driving to the gate, he assisted Miss
Dove to alight. As he did so two hired men
rushed out and began to attend to the horse
and vehicle, and an old lady and gentleman
appeared upon the steps. _
“So glad you’re early enough to escape
the worst of the storm," said the gentle-
man. .
“Do come in,” said the old lady. “We
were expecting you—for on such an occasion
people always keep their appointments rain
' or shine, I believe."
“What on earth does she mean ?" said
Bachelor Brown. “But it's very kind of
them,” and so while the old lady hurried
Miss Dove away to dry things, he sat with
the old clergyman in the parlor.
“Do you feel at all nervous sir 1" said the
old gentleman after a pause.
“N o sir, thank you,” said Bachelor Brown.
“MOst men do, sir," said the clergyman.
“Yes, lightning is a nervous sort of thing,"
said Mr. Brown.
“I did not allude to the storm."
“Indeed, sir.”
“But to the approaching ceremony "'
“Eh i" said Bachelor Brown.
“In your note you' know, you told me that
you were too nervous to stand before the
whole congregation in the church, and pre-
ferred a quiet wedding at my house,” said the
old man. I
Bachelor Brown stared at him in astonish-
ment, the truth had dawned upon him.
“ You expected—a young couple ?" he
said.
“Oh, you are young enough, sir,” said the
innocent clergyman. “And I must say
the young lady appears like a very charming
person.” _
Bachelor Brown felt himself blush.
“Should you think she’d make a good
Wife ?” he asked
“Undoubtedly,” said the clergyman.
“And you think a man is—happier—for
entering the nuptial' state '1’” he inquired.
“No man can be happy without so doing,
and it is every man’s duty,” said the old gen-
tleman, believing every word he said.
“She is a dear little thing,” thought Mr.
Brown to himself. “I never liked a girl so
much. It’s very awkward to explain. I
wonder whether—"
And just then Miss Dove entered the
room, looking angelic vfithout her bonnet
to Mr. Brown. Bachelor Brown drew her
aside.
“I have something to say to you, Miss
Dove,” he said. ,
“Dear me," said Miss Dove.
“They’ve made a mistake,1" said Bachelor
Brown. “They think wc—we—we—are_.
are people they expect—a—a—young couple,
you know about to—”
“Oh, dear, do they 1’" whispered Miss
Dove. .
“Yes, said Bachelor Brown. “Now it
would bevcry awkward to explain. Andi
like. you so much, couldn’t you like me too,
and let him do it—eh l’"
“Do what, Mr. Brown,” said Amanda.
“Mari-y us," said Bachelor B.
0'
waist. -
‘.‘I don't know much about this sort of
thing, but you are the only nice girl I ever
saw. Please do. I’ll be good to you."
“I know you are good," said Amanda.
“but?" A
“But then I am ucly, eh ?" asked Richard.
“Ah, no, not at all.”
“Well '1’”
“It would be so odd."
- “Well,” said Bachelor Brown, “that’s my
fault, and they know I’m odd, my dear."
Four hours afterward the Hinkles heard
the light wagon drive to the door, and rushed
out to meet Amanda.
“We’ve been- so 'alarmcd,”
Hinkle.
“Such a storm 1” said Rose.
“Were you frightened it" asked Adelaide.
But Amanda said nothing. '
Uncle Richard, ‘too, shrank back, as though
he were afraid of something.
"Tell ‘em, Amanda,” he said.
“No; you tell tliern,Richard," said Aman-
da. '
The Hinkles listened in amazement.
“What is there to tell i” asked Mrs.
Hinkle. “What is all the mystery about ?”
And Cousin Richard answered sheepishly :
“Nothing—only we've been getting mar-
ried. Thisis my wife, Mrs. Brown.”
It was the onlyexplanation ever offered.
The Hinkles never comprehended it. It was
always a mystery to them ; and though they
were profuse in their congratulations, and
always continued the best of friends, the
fortune which might have been Rose’s or
Adelaide’s rather trdubled Mrs. Hinkle ; and
she always declared in family councils that
she was perfectly sure Uncle Richard inur-
ricd for spite to punish Adelaide for the trick
she played upon him. '

Fruit Trees and Fruits Chemical-
ly Considered.
BY. 0. S. STILWELL, M. D.
There has never been a period heretofore in
this country, when the attention of so many
was attracted to the study of the phenomena
of nature as at present. The benefits result-
ing, are already manifest in many branches of
science, but. none more than in agriculture
and its kindred subjects. The study of these
phenomena and.their connectiOn with ration-
al and scientific causes, opens a new and ex-
tended field of observation and improve-
ment. It is a well established fact long since
observed, recorded and commented upon,
that certain varieties of fruits dwindle, decay!
and die out in certain sections of the country.
That certain fruits of prominent value in one
locality, are tasteless and worthless in anoth-
er; and this discrepancy, though acknowl-
edged, has not been satisfactorily accounted
for. This fact is not confined to fruits alone.
nor to sections or divisions of country, but
is observed in grains, vegetables and’ all pro-
ducts, also in tracts of land or farms adjacent
to each other. . ,Acres of beets raised for the
manufacture of sugar, will be found deficient
in saccharine juice and result in failure, while
an adjoining tract will produce a crop so re.
plete with sugar as to be apparent to the taste
beforelmanufacture. One farm or field will
yield cabbages as delicate and tender as can-
liflower, while the product of another will be
rank in flavor and indigestible. aye raised
upon one farm will make bread as white as
White as the wheat raised upon another.
Grapes grown in one locality are rich in
grape sugar, while those grown in another
are either tasteless or sour. Fruits and vege-
tables, if highly fertilized or stimulated with
night soil or strong nitrogenous manures,pro-
duce fruits and vegetables often unpalatable.
Is not this difference in vitality and quality
of product attributable directly to plant food
or qualities of soil? A fruit tree, for exam-
ple is a vital machine which with the aid of
the atmosphere eliminates and creates from
the soil a product called fruit, of a variety,
according to the species which the tree repre4
sents. This machine under favorable cir-
cumstances, with all things conducive, will
produce uniform and satisfactory results;
and in the absence of these, we can no more
expect or anticipate the best product, than
the finest cloth or linen from the mechanical
machine supplied with flax or wool unsuita-
ble to its work. .
Lord Bacon in his remarks upon Agriculture
expresses the idea, that in the advancement
of ages, the time would come, “when a man
would carry upon his back sufficient to ma-
nure an acre of land." This idea evidently
pointed to special fertilizers, and these con-
centrated. The theory has since been sug-
gested, that" there would be discovered certain
qualities or principles of vegetable or fruit
life and growth, which in liquid form might
be applied to a tree or crop, and this was to
consider the practical illustration of this phi
losophers prophecy. Had “Bacon" been liv-
ing at the birth of our new Centennial, he
would have seen this idea taking form. The
microscope, the new developments and dis-
coveries in chemical science are already be.
ginning to practically elaborate this fact.
There are only about four solidified in-
gredients requisite in any fertilizer, the at-
mosphere furnishes the remainder. These
are to be provided in certain proportions ac-
cording to the requirements of the land and
crop. The sayings of farmers that, this
piece of land is “clover sick” or “run out"
or "it must rest,” &c., are but confessions to
this theory. Laud only becomes sick to
certain crops as it is deprived of con-
stituents necessary for their growth and
development, and these may and will be add-
ed with as much certainty and intelligent an-
ticipation of results, as the physician in pre-
scribing for a patient the necessary change of
food and regimen expects the favorable re-
sponse.
, Agriculture and its kindred branches is no
longer to be followed as an empirical hap-
hazard pursuit resting upon chance for re-
sults, but is to be conducted upon logical
premises founded upon reasoning from cause
to effect.
Agriculture heretofore has. been conducted
as medicine was two centuries ago. A cer-
tain number of drugs were often mixed and
given together almost indiscriminately and
prescribed on the mere chance that one might
reach the disease. Manure is bought by the
ton or load and applied indiscriminately for
nature to make her own selection. The ra-
tional system of agriculture of the future is
to become this: Give the character of the
soil, the crops last raised and the crop to be
raised, then select the special fertilizer to
meet this end. If wheat is called for then
prescribe an additional proportion of nitro-
gen. If for potatoes or tobacco then an ex-
cess .of potash, &c. The theory of rota-
tion of crops will become obsolete, for farm-
ers mayraise their crops to suit their own
convenience so long as they supply the requi-
site fertilizer to meet the demand and con-
sumption by the crops.
Perhaps the pear and grape best illustrate
this theory of special fertilizers. They are
both great consumers of potash (greater, per-
haps, than at present realized.) In a soil
properly drained and sufficiently loose
to permit the influence of the atmos-
phere,there is no fertilizer so near a specfic as
hard wood ashes and ground bone, or bohe
branches and leaves is its own best fertilizer,
and that from the dregs o‘r settlings of the
wine vats is obtained the principal staple for
the production of hi tartate of potash.

Troops in the South.
Wasuixorox, January 22.-—-The president
today sent to the House of Representatives
his reply to the resolution of the house passed
early in December, requesting him to trans-
mit to that body copies of all orders or direc-
tions from hl'or from either of the execu-
tive departments to any military commander
or civil ofilcer relating to service of the army
in Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida since the lat of August last. The
message Was accompanied by a la‘rge number
of orders, reports, etc, connected with the
subject. In conclusion the president says :
I have not employed troops on slight occa-
‘ sions nor in any case where it has not been
necessary to the enforcement of the laws of
the United States. In this I have been guided
by the constitution and the. laws which have
been enacted, and the precedents which have
been formed under it. It has been necessary
to employ troops occasionally to overcome
resistance to the internal revenue laws from
thetimc of the resistance to the collection
of the whisky tax in Pennsylvania under
Washington to the present time. In 54,
when it was apprehended that resis as
would be made in Boston to the seizure and
return to his master of _a fugitive slave the
troops there stationed were employed to en-
force the master’s rights under the constitu-
tion and troops stationed at New York were
ordered to be in readiness to go to Boston if
it should prove to be necessary. Ill 1859
when John Brown, with a small number of
.men made an attack upon Harper's Ferry
the president ordered United States troops to
assist in the apprehension and suppression of
him and his party without a formal call of
the legislature or governor of Virginia and
without proclamation of ‘ the president.
Without citing further instances in which the
executive has exercised his powers as com-
mander of the army and navy to prevent or
suppress resistance to the laws of the United
States, or where he has exercised like author-
ity in obedience to a call from a state to sup-
press insurrection, I desire to assure both
congress and the country that it has been my
urpose to administer the executive powers
of the government fairly, and in no instance
to disregard or transcend the limits of the
constitution. [Signed], U. 8. GRANT.

The resolution endorsing the proposed con-
gressional plan for counting the electoral vote
which had been the special order for the
House at 11 a. m., came from the Senate,
passid, with various amendments.
Mr. Perry, of Fairfield, moved to refer to
the committee on Federal relations. .
, Mr. Stevens, of Hartford, urged immediate
action. He said every memberin the House
understood it, and was ready to vote.
Mr. Perry continued the debate on the res-
olution, and protested against a snap judg-
ment. If Senator Eaton is against it, it is
evident that the democrats in the State Leg.
islature cannot all be in favor, but in com-
mon with many Republicans, see no goodIin
the plan. Therefore, with vrews Ithus dwid-
ed, a hasty judgment should not be formed,
and it will be well to let the resolution go to
the committee on Federal Relations. .
Mr. West, of Hartford, protested against
reference to committee, as it would be likely
to result in majority and minority reports ex-
tended debates, and great delay This should
not be regarded as a party measure, and to
have the action effectual at Washington, it
should be unanimous.

‘ rm: anaoronAL PLAN.
The resolution endorsing the electoral vote
plan presented in Congress, referred by the
House on Wednesday to the committee on
federal relations, came back from the Senate
with reference non-concurred in, and its ac-
tion, passing the bill, insisted on.
Mr. Perry of Fairfield regretted that this
important matter had been made a shuttle-
cock and, moved to reconsider the reference
to the committee on federal relations.
Mr. Colyer of Darien offered as an amend-
ment a substitute resolutions as follows:
Resolved by this Assembly, That laying aside
all party feeling and looking only to the good
of our common country, we hereby express
our confidence in the wisdom, patriotism and
integrity of the Executive and the Congress
of the UnitedStates in the settlement of the
questions growing out of the late Presidential
election. ‘
leoed, That the provisions of our writ-
ten constitution should be strictly followed
in time of peace; the three departments of
the Fedora government should be kept as
far as possible independent of each other ;
the remedy for defects in the constitution, is
by its amendment and not by legislative in-
terference; ’
Resolved, That we are opposed to intimida-
tion, violence and murder as a means of in-
fluencing political opinion and elections ;
that we denounce all frauds in elections; and
we demand such amendments to the Nation- »
al Constitution as will secure fair and honest
suffrage, and correct any ambiguities which
ma now exist in it concerning the election
of resident.
Resolved, That whether the pending dis-
agreement/at Washington in relation to the
met odnf ascer- 'nin}r'tlle result of the fuse
eleciion for Presti‘denthe settled by following
either plan adopted at the first election of
Washington, and followed at subsequent
election for fort years, or by adopting a
plan which won d provide for the rejection
by the concurrept vote of both houses of
Congress of the electoral vote of any state on
account of intimidation, violence, or fraud;
or by the operation of the proposed law to
submit all the questions now at -issue~ to a
commission of fifteen persons.
Waffle Gene. al,Assembly of Connecticut,
hereby heartily pledge the support of the
State Government and of all our loyal citizens
to that person who shall thereby be declared
elected President of the United States.
Resolved, That any armed opposition to the
inauguration, or administration, of the per-
son who may be declared elected President,
by either of the aforesaid methods which
may be adopted by Congress,will be TniiAsox
—and all persons who threaten civil war,
unless some one specific plan of settling the
difficulty is followed, deserve the execration
of all good citizens.
Mr. Colyer said the people of the country
would support the action of Congress what-
ever it ma be. Whether the proposed elec-
toral plan is rejected or some other plan adopt-
ed. or the old plan adhered to, Connecticut
will give its support to whatever measure is
regarded as best by the statesmen at Wash.
ington. This is better than dictating to them
one single plan, as the original resolution
sought to do. ' And in the closing resolution,
the strong language is used,tliat of armed op-
position to the iniiguration of the person who
may be elected president, “will be treason.”
Mr. Warner, of Bristol, o1posed the Col-
yer resolutions on the groun that they would
commit the legislature to any plan that might
be adopted, even to the counting of the votes
by the resident of the Senate.
Mr. ‘levelaud', of Brooklyn arose and be-
gan reading a private telegram that he had
just received: . . . . '
“The Senate has passed the billI47 to 17.”
[Loud applause’on the Democratic side.]
Mr Cleveland quickly remarked, “ very
well, gentlemen, I will give you another
chance to applaud, and continuing he read
from the telegram: “Senator Eaton, only dem-
ocrat in the negative.”
The second volley of applause didn’t come,
and on the contrary, many hisses were hear“
on the Democratic side, while the Republ
cans remained impassive._ The speaker has-
tily rapped the assemblage to order, and said
that such demonstrations could not be per .
mitted.
Mr. West, of Hartford, moved to adjourn,
resulting:
Whole number voting

olutions, by ycas and nays, resulting:

So the resolutions, as an amendment to the
Bishop resolutions, were adopted, the vote
being a strictly party one, and Mr. Cleveland
of Brooklyn, then demanded the previous
question on the resolutions as amended. -
The Bishop resolutions as amended were
then adopted by a rim race vote.

House resolution, a lengthy statement show-
ing Connecticut‘s disbursmeuts for charitable
purposes from 1870 to 1876. the same aggre-
gating $1,766,610 52. Accepted.

Bulky Horses.
There is a good deal said just now about
the bulking of horses, the causes of it and
the remedies. As long as we can remember,
this singular fit of obstinacy of the horse has
been discussed, and all sorts of plans for
overcoming it given. But what will answer
for one horse [1|in not for another. 'I‘Ie cause
of it is doubtless neglect and ill-treatment of
the colt, or when and after it is broken to
harness. Sometimes stoppiuga few moments
will be sufficient to start the animal again
freely of his own accord. Kind words, pat-
ting, a handful of hay or grass, an apple, or
a little pepper put upon the tongue will in-
duce him to go ahead as if nothing had been
the matter. Whipping at all times, and es.
pecially in this case, is the worst resort. We
have ourselves induced balky horses to start
by some of the means above recorded.
Sometimes the'mcrc turning of the head and
letting the animal look in a contrary direc-
tion, tlicn rubbing the nose with the hand,has
answered; so has tying a string around his
foreleg below the knee, drawing it rather
tight. Various resorts of this kind shouldbe
tried, but never forcc.-—-Germantown Tole.
