N>U . when thefirst message—" What God hath wrought"—was sent over the lino between IS.iLti-more and ii ton, involves manysuccessive discoveries, much laboriousstudy on the part of scientific mini, andhundreds of successful and unsure

iments. I t has been the glory ofProfessor Morse that his namo was thelast of a brilliant series of names belong-ing to men wh< hilyrecog-nized by science—Franklin, Watson, (>i r-sted, Schwoigger, Ampere, Arago, Stur-geon, and Henry. The discover!

men, which led to tho grand resultfinally accomplished by tho genius ofMorse, show a curious succession of steps.From lTlMHo 1800the experiments, thoughin valuable to future inventors, broughtlittle that was practical in tho v.communication, because tho "electricalmachine " then in use d?d not develop acontinuous current. Franklin settled se-veral scientific questions usefulto futureinquirers. Dr. Watson, iu 1717, made thovery important discovery that the earthor water acted as conductors to completethe electric current sent over a singlewire. During tho latter quarter of thoeighteenth century a number of iugcnUous but awkward plans of electro-tele-graphic communication 1 byLosage, Lomond, Keizcn, and Salva, inSwitzerland, France and Spain, but with-out results of service to the inventor ofour present system. In 1800, however,came tho discovery of the voltaic pilo bywhich a continuous current was secured.The noxt great step, a very long one, wasthe discovery by William Sturgeon, ofLondon, in 1820, after hints from the ex-periments of Oersted, Ampere and Ai-ago,that a piece of iron could be made a mag-net by a current of electricity pthrough a coil of wire surrounding it.Only one step remained. In coiling na-ked wire about the iron Itly wound I Tiet was oflittle power. In 1828 -30 Professor Hen-ry, of Albany, discovered that successivelayers of covered wire could bo woundtightly about tho iron, lii.thid mannerhe produced a magnet of a power neverbefore known.

Free Trade vs. Protection.Fionithe K, Y. World.

At tho Libei'al Club last evening Prof.Arthur Latham Perry, professor of politi-cal economy at Williams College, "Wil-liamstown Mass., mad a paper on " QuidPro Quo," in the course of which ho spokeof tho tariff as follows:

In conclusion, and very briefly, I wantto show yon that what is called "Protec-tion in tariff is a delusion and a lie ; thatits principle, if onco admitted into thoscience, would overthrow the whole struc-ture of exchange to its foundation-stone.The principle of "Protection" is that fewpeople may dictate to all the rest whatthey shall buy and where. We moot theprinciple as we do the burglarat the threshold; we deny admit-tance to it as to him, and for the HUnereason; not more surely will he, if hegain ontrance, rob us of what is mostprecious than will this principle, if ad-mitted, destroy a most sacred right of thepeople. My quid and your quid and ourneighbor's quid—sense and scienco say it,and sense and science are the voice ofGod— may find each its chosen quo with-eut lot or hindrance. But Protectionsays. No t that quid shall take my quo,which I admit is an inferior ono, or gowithout And then, like those of old,frame* its mischief into a law. • If myneighbor the miller can get a law passedthat I and all my neighbors shall buyall owr flour and meal and buckwheat andhominy at his mill, although we can, andbecanso wo can got better articles at acheaper rate at another mill the otherside of town, it may be well for him ; butas men of sense &nd spirit, as knowing ourrights, and, knowing, dare to retain thorn,wo do not proposo to stand it. Thatlaw is unjust. It robs us of our proper-ty ; it makes our quid fetch less, whenGod and nature would give it more.That law shall go under. This simplecase illustrates the whole thing perfectly.That miller is a protectionist, my neigh-bor and I are freo-traders. This so-calledProtection, however, like everything thiitis crafty and devilish and* dangerous inthis world, knows how to put on a plausi-ble exterior. It disguises itself as muchas it can. It steals a name that is nomore descriptive of its nature than thename "honey-dew" properly describesthat brand of tobacco. A tariff is a com-bination, of taxes, the name derived fromTarifa, an old town on the Straits of Gib-raltar, where the Moors had a castle un-der whoso guns ships wero stopped andcompelled to pay tribute according to theestimated value of their cargo. As tar-iff-taxes on imported goods, properly lev-ied, are a perfectly unexceptional modeof raising a part of the revenue that gov-ernment requires, this false Protectionsees a chance to hide itself and yet workout its ends. It says, just lay these du-ties now on foreign goods which correspond to tho goods which I make here- athome, which will raise the price of thosegoods to the extent of tho tax or lessAha! let us look at it! If the tax on thoforeign goods be so high as thereafter toexclude them (and nothing pleases theprotectionist so much as that) govern-ment gets no penny of revenuo from atax which yet makes the people pay agroat deal in the higher price of the cor-responding domestic goods. Tariff taxes,like all other taxes, are ostensibly laidfor revenue ; if the goods on which theyare laid are thereby excluded governmentgets nothing, the people pay much inthe higher price of the donnestio goodswhich have now no competition, and Pro-tection is in its glory. Everybody mustbring his grist to my miller's mill! Yousee that the perfection of Protection isthe death of revenue. Millions of moneyare paid every year by the people of theUnited States in consequence of tarifftaxes which realize to the Treasury notone single penny ' Revenue is received on-ly as the goods come in. Protection isperfect only as the goods are kept out.If the goods are kept out, not only doesgovernment get no revenue, not only arethe people obliged to pay artificial pri-ces for tho homo goods corresponding,but where is the market for the nativeproducts that would otherwise be ex-changed against the foreign productsnow excluded '( "Quid pro quo" is therule of foreign trade just as it is of do-mestic trade. Foreigners never bringanything hither, except for the sake otcarrying something home. If thelaw flings its fist in their face as they arecoming it no less rudely, by the same act,flings its fist in tho face of its own citi-zens who ware waiting for their coiningto make with them a profitable exchange.If their quid is excluded, what becomesof our quo ? It loses its best andfreely-chosen market. Its value is partial-ly or wholly destroyed. To make an ar-tificial market for one class of citizensProtection necessarily destroys the nat-ural market of another class. If thedeatli of revenue follows the perfection ofProtection it is just as true that the per-fection of revenue is the death of Pro-tection. If a- lower tariff tax but par-tially excludes the foreign goods, thengovernment gets somo revenue from thegoods that still cou»o in ; but the peoplepay much more im eanstquenoe of the taxthan government gets. They pay thotax on nil that ia- consumed, domestic aswell as foreign. Thepcrfection of a taxis one that realiaea-to government all thatthe people are made to pay in conse-quence of it. But the sole aim of Protec-tion is to raise artificially the price of cer-tain domestic goods by menus of a tax onforeign goods. Therefore Kivenuo andProtection aro incompatible with eachother. Where Protection begins thorerevenue begins to diminish, where Pro-tection ends there revenue has ceased.In one word tariff taxes are most productive and are just right when they are laidat low rates, so as not essentially to in-terrupt natural trade—on comparativelyfew things only, so as to disturb trade atas few points as possible ; and on thingswholly imported from abroad, BO as toraise the price of nothing but the thingsthemselves—and tho govern men t conse-quently gets nil that the people pay.Suoh tariff taxes as I have just describedliavo England, and Germany, and Bel-gium, and partially aiso Franco, Eng-land taxes in her tariff but eighteen ar-ticles and Germany but 152, at low ft;ten,»nd these articles for the most part aotproduced at, home. These taxes are pro-duetiv* aud they are satisfactory. Ourow» tiritf at present taxes by aotualcoast '-£,317 different articles, many ofthem at uuheiird-of rates, and by prefer-ence-those arfcieles the like of which arenlso produoed at home. It thus violatescver t̂ p»iaoipl& of a revenue tariff andbeeoa>*« & gigantic tool in the hands ofleagued monopolists for the oppression ofthe people. The very salt we eat, theblankets that warm us as we sleep, thecarpets we tread- 8» when we wake, theiron andsftsel rails-we roll over in ourjourrv.-^s, und> unnunfcbored tilings besidosnave puiA extortion tax©*, not to govern-ment, but to swell tho Lncomo of million-aires.

Do yon say we aro a young countryand must encourage infam industries? Ireply that the protective duties of to-dayaro just Miree timos higher ,-

000 men and women and employ them inmanufactures." Do you see that this isentirely contrary to his logic 't—and itcomes not from manufactures, for theydid not exist. Western New York wasthe best wheat-growing country in theworld, but the wheat was 25 cents perbushel. Now then, the people of theState of New York said : " We will diga canal from the Hudson River to LakeErie iii order that the -wheat may comecheaper to New York—that wheat maybo cheaper there and dearer here ; in oth-er words, we will take soiae bushels out otevery man's wheat bin, in order that thowheat which is left may be more valua-ble." There were a great many peoplewho did not believe in it, but it WHS thesame question us wo aro now considering,tho very principle ol political economylaid down hero in " Quid Pro Quo," rightagainst that policy. "Why," says thewheat grower, " give us Quid Pro Quo.1 have got wheat, I want goods. I willsell my wheat and get goods." "No,'says another man, " it is better for us andfor the community to make arrangementswhereby the wheat shall be transportedto the consumers, .to the manufacturers,cheaper than it otherwise would, and wewill tako somo of your wheat to pay thecost of transport." And one good Dutch-man hung himself because they wouldtako of his land to make this canal whore-by the wheat was to be carried. He said :" I will take off my wheat as I please.'But hud that policy prevailed the city oiNew York would have been to-day near-ly as large as Boston. [Laughter.] Itwas,the Krie C-mal, dug at the expenseof the t^tato of New York, that has madethis city the metropolis of America—(ap-plause)—and it was dug directly in defi-ance of the policy that has been laiddown hero to-night. I have stood in theState of Iowa, and I have seen graincomo in to be sold at 15 cents a bushc! ;and why 'i Because tho markets wero ata distance. They had perfect free trade,but it was because tho consumers wore sofar away. Now, if the good people otIowa shall say: " By a joint stock arrange-ment we will make the goods, tho fabricswhich we consume, as near us as naturewill allow," by that simple arrangomentthey would have doubled tho value oftheir bushel of grain, and that is precise-ly what we seek by Protection—to bringnearer to the producer of grain tho pro-ducer of materials and fabrics, and there-by increase the value of the products ofboth. Here is a man making axes andthere is a man growing wheat, but theyare 4,000 miles apart, and every bushelhas to pay three pecks to get to tho axe-inaker. Bring them nearer together sothat it takes but ono pock to get thobushel to the axe-maker, and there arethree peclcs to divide between the wheat-grower and the axo-maker, and both arebenefited. My friend says that the greatimportance is to get quid for quo. Now,in my judgment, the first necessity is tohavo quid and to hav© quo. (Greatlaughter.)

Mr. Perry—Can you mention a singloquid or a single quo that has como intoexistence through Protection ?

Mr. Greely—The beet-root sugar ofFrance.

Mr. Perry—We are discussing of thiscountry.

Mr. Greeley—I will say the silk indus-try of the United States, now growingsteadily in importance, in my judgmentone of the roosl promising industries onthe face of tho earth ; or tho whole bodyof edge-tools, which formerly wero im-ported, are now made in this countrycheaper and better than they aro madeanywhere else, and you cannot get anyman to-day to take a hundred dollars'worth of American axes and exchangethem for the samo number of axes madeanywhere on the face of the earth. I willsay in regard to this, there is no protec-tion unless it raises the price. I am anewspaper printer. Always havo livedby it. Now, if you will givo mo all thomarket for all the newspapers I can pro-duce I will agree to reduce the price andmake more money than I do now. IfEuropean nowspapors could como in com-petition with ours they could not be soldso cheap as they are now. It is tho largeand steady demand that enables us to sellthem so cheap. Foreign competitionwould spoil that demand, and then thenewspapers wculd be dearer.

Mr. Greeley continued at somo lengthand then concluded as tollows: " I amsure that there would bo more produc-tion if every nation made fabrics insteadof merely producing raw materials, morepeople wculd be employed, more talentdoveloped, more ingenuity instituted,and the general well-being of mankindwould thereby be increased. This is myidea. I have considered it long. I donot profess to be infallible, but I amquite sure that wo who hold this doc-trine are not less intelligent and honostthan our friend the professor.

Mr. Perry rejoined in a few remarks,and the club then adjourned.

Tho Monday afternoon trainswere loaded down, the hotels wore ovor-orowd'jd, the hospitality of private hous-es in all parts of the city was claimed,and many sought a night's rest over theborder, forgetting that Canada was Eng-lish soil, that England had not yet set-tled the Alabama claims, and threatenedto recede from the Treaty of Washington.And Tuesday morning trains were longerand moro densely packed, platforms andaisles being one mass of human freight.This was so on all the roads. On theCentral the morning express took in IScoachos and the Dexter train 13, whileall early freights also contributed toswell tho numbers.

Once in tho city all the streets werethronged, tho tide setting towards theCampus Martius and the Opera House.It was the laigest crowd, so experiencedobservers smd, ever gathered in Dotroit.Business blocks, public buildings, andmany private residences were profuselyand beautifully docoratod, and all was ingala day garb.

Tho annual meeting of tho State Sol-diers' and Sailors' Association was held atthe Opora House in the forenoon. Offi-cers were elected for the ensuing year,Gens. BURNSIDE, SltERrDAX, and CUSTEK

presented to their old comrades and wol-comed with roof-splitting cheers, patri-otic songs snng by a choir under thelead of J. H. WniTTEMORE, and recita-tione appropriate to the occasion givenby A. A. GRIFFITH., one of them being

"Sheridan's Bide," which brought downthe house.

At noon dinner was served to tho vet-erans in largo numbers at tho Fort StreetBaptist Church.

The procession was formed at 1 :30 P. M ,and was an iinmenso affair both in pro-portions and display. Tho HJasons andOdd Fellows turned out in large num-bers and showed brilliantly ; tho volun-teer companies in gay uniform called outcontinual cheering; while the veteransoldieis, with their torn and tattered bannerp, were the feature of the column, antturned back tho current of thought tthe yoars of toil and struggle and bloodshod.

The procession was two miles long an55 minutes in passing tho grand stand.

Tho exercises at the stand, located inthe southwest quarter of the CauipuMartius, commenced at 3:30 P. M., awhich honr the whole campus was densely packed with mon and women, while thwindows and roofs of all tho surroundingbuildings wero alive with eager lookerson. Tho exorcises consisted of: Prayoby Bev. D. C. JACOKES, a welcoming ad

dress by Gov. BALDWIN ; the Masonii

ceremonies of acceptance; the oration oGov, BLAIR, during which there was ilively shower, and through which thmultitude stood their ground bravely amdeterminedly. The oration concludedtho "Warrior's Prayer was sung by thUnited German Singing Societies, duringwhich tho flags that veiled the monumont wero removed, disclosing its fineproportions and beautiful statues.

The monument has already been fullydescribed in our columns and wo will norepeat the description now. Its granibhas•! and strueturo looks a,s durable aa monument erected to perpetuate suchmeinoriesshould, while tho beau'iful golden bronze figures and biss reliefs uvyd tobe seen to be appreciated. The monument is not yet complete, four statues being wanting, which will greatly improveit. An effort was made to raJ30 the $16,-000 nocessary to procure the statues, ancover $3,000 pledged, after which tho ex-orcises wore concluded with the benedic-tion by Rev. GEO. TAYLOR.

Another week wo may publish someportion of tho oration of Gov. BLAIR.

— Wo must be allowed to say in thisconnection, that in our humble opiniona terrible mistako was made in locatintho monument. It is too far to the east,too near tho old City Hall and the Rus-sell House Block, and is sadly dwarfed bythe back-ground. Wo don't believe thatthree sonsiblo men in the State—outsideof tho Board of Managers—-could havebeen found to agree upon the ohosen site,and think it must havo been determinedby 6hooting a ponny from a pop-gun holdby a» blind man, and sticking the stakewhere it "lit." It should have been inthe exact center of Woodward avonue, atthe point of intersection or crossingtho other streets, and then it could havebeen seen from any and every direction;now, besides being belittled by tho higherbuildings, nine out of ton strangers wil]not see it until they run against tho rail-ing whiclf surrounds it—as nine out oiten searchera after it will make thoir ap-proaches through Woodward avenue fromJefferson.

I F THERE is any truth in tho following

editorial announcement made by theSpringfiold (111.) liegiiter, on Monday,GRANT hasn't a very strong hold on theaffections of the Republicans of his State—tho men who ought to know and appreciate him : "An immense Liberal Re-

publican movoment is on foot in this"city, and in a fow days a call will be" issued for a State Convention to select'delegates to attend tho Cincinnati Con-tention. The names to the call will' embrace about all the proniinont Re-' publicans in tho State. Look out for'breakers."

—In this connection it is well enoughto say that Senator TIUJMUULL is crodit-od or charged with writing a letter tobis brother-in-law, resident at Springfiold,declaring in favor of tho Liberal Republicans, and predicting that tho candidateto be nominated at Cincinnati will boelected President.

—Another dispatch gives tho followingnames, among others, as indorsee of themovement: Hon. Jesse K. Dubois, Hon.O. M. Hatch,' Hon. O. H. Miner, lion.Wm. Jayne, and Gens. McConnel andJook, of Sp:ingfiold; Horace Whito of theJhicago Tribune, cx-Lieut.-Gov. Koerner,ind Hon. John F. Bryant; the first threelaving been State officers during Mr.LINCOLN'S Presidency. The Hon. LKOX-

AIU> SWEET, a former partner of LINCOLN,s also in the movement.

— TeCh 'e rgo THbunt lays: "HadMorton, Conkling & Co. boon wise thoywould have instructed their revenue col-lectors and postmasters in New ILunp-

I shire and Connecticut to vote tho Dem-ocratic ticket." It r.'asons that two vic-tories would havo set tho Deraot r icy crazyand secured Grant's election. On wlmtaslender thread Grant's hojoj must hang.

— A. G. Hodges, publisher of thoFrankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth, offors hisestablishment for sale. Cause: he can'tand won't support Grant for ro-olootion,but conceding that a large majority ofhis readers differ with him, ho does notthink it right to put tho paper in opposi-tion to their views. If not sold tho pub-lication will bo at least temporarily sus-pended.

— A Cincinnati correspondent of theN. Y. Evening Post writes that tho com-ing convention, May 1st, is full of prom-ise. Sumner, Trumbull, and CharlesFrancis Adams are tho most talked of ascandidates, and he inclines to tho opinionthat the chances are in favor of Adams,with Groesbeck, of Ohio, for Vice-Presi-dont. A strong team.

— Disraeli says that the position ofthe President of the United States is "sim-ilar to that of tho English Prime Minis-ter," and that ho is "paid a sum which isabout equal to the income of a second-class professional man." And the pres-ent incumbent gets overpaid at that.

— The Now Jorsoy Liberal Republi-cans propose to send a large delegationto Cincinnati. Among thoso named ashaving joined the movoraent are ex-Gov.Newell, Jas. M. Scoville, Chas. P. Smith,John S. Mitchell, and John R. Hazlett.

— Tho decision of tho New York Courtof Appeals, holding certain of tho NewYork City Courts illegally or unconstitu-tionally constituted, has given some 400convicts hopes of being fcibeas corpused outof prison. A nice muddle.

— Dr. Woodhull, "Vicky's" first loveand liege lord, died suddenly on Sundayevening. Vicky has now only "Col."Blood loft to husband her—unless Demos-thenes and Tilton claim to divide the"honor" with him.

— The rumor that Queen Victoria hasaccepted Gilmore's invitation to come ov-er and attend his Boston blow out, andthat she will sing a duet with PresidentGrant, needs confirmation.

— The New York Evening Pout is so ex-tremely partisan—with all its professedlibcra'ity—that it prin's Republican witha big 'R" and Democrat with a small "d."How crushing'

— Tho Pictorial Tax-Payer for Aprilcaricatures Greoloy«i route to tho WhitoHouse via tho Cincinnati Convention, butloaded down with a tremendous bundleof pig-iron.

— The N. Y. Tribune advises tho legionof Republicans who have an itching towrite up (or down) the Liberal movementin its columns to go t o Cincinnati and pre-sent their views to tho May first conven-tion.

— An earthquake at Antioch, in Syria,is reported, via Constantinople, destroy-ing a largo portion of the city and fifteenhundred lives. Dato and details not giv-en.

—The "Prohibitionists" propose a dailypaper at Jackson. We commend it to thepatronage cf tho "irregular" Republicanprohibitionists of this city.

— 11,000 feet is tho greatest depth ofwater yet sounded by tho United StatesLake Coast Survey parties, and that nearCopper Harbor.

— Nails have takon another hoist: 50cents a kog again. What a blessing aprotective tariff is ! to iron and nail man-ufacturers, we mean.

— Senator Logan is bulletined for theCincinnati Convention : to get Trumliu'.lnominated for President. Look out forcontradiction next week.

— The Philadelphia Pnna don't liko thoproposition to make Gen. Hartranft theRepublican candidate for Governor ofPennsylvania.

— Mrs. Grant didn't go to Europealong with tho family of ex-SecretaryBorio. It was tho tolograph that mixedthe thing up so.

— The Democrats and Liberal Repub-licans of Pennsylvania are proposing tounite on Col. McCluro for Governor. Sorumor has it.

— Heavy rains occurred in Tennesseeand the whole southwest on Monday,washing away railroad and other bridges.

— An exchange gets off this jokef:" Mark Twain's last is a daughter abouttwo weeks old."

— Curtin is on his way homo from Rus-sia, to enter the lists against Grant: elsorumor is a liar.

The National Park.Tho following is tho report of tho Com-

mittee on Public Lands, to tho Hovise ofRepresentatives, describing the wonder-ful region known as tho "YellowstoneCountry." I t was on tho strength of thefacts herein stated that Congress passedthe bill, sotting apart this region for aNational Park.

Tho bill now before Congress has forits object the withdrawal from settlement,occupancy, or sale, under the laws of theUnited Stales, a tract of land fifty-five bysixty-five niilos, about Iho sources of thoYellowstono and Missouri rivers; anddedicates and sets it apart as a great national park or pleasure ground for the•benefit and enjoymont of tho people. Thoentire area comprised within the limits ofthe reservation contemplated in this billis not suseeptiblo of cultivation with anydegree of certainty, and tho winterswould be too severo for stock raising.Whenever the altitude of the mountaindistricts exceeds 0,000 feet above tide-wa-ter, their settlement becomes problemati-cal unless there are valuable mines to at-tract people Tho entire area within tholimits of the proposed reservation is overG.000 feet in altitude, and the Yellow-stone lake which occupies an area 15 by'22 miles, or 330 square miles,is 7,427 feet.The ranges of mountains that hem _ thovalleys in on every sido rise to the heightof 10,000 or 12,000 feet, and are coveredwith suow"all the year. These moun-tains are all of a voloanio origin, and itis not probable that any mines or miner-als of value will ever bo found there.During tho months of June, July andAugust the climate is pure and most in-vigorating, with scarcely any rain orstorms of any kind; but tho thermometerfrequently sinks as low as 26°. There isfrost every month of i-he year. This•whole region was in comparatively mod-ern geological times the scene of the mostwonderful volcanic activity of any por-tion cf our country. The hotsprii:tho geysors represent tho hist stages—thovents or oscapo pipes—of these remarka-able volcanic manifestations of tho inter-nal forces. All these springs are adornedwith decorations more beautiful than hn-iaan art ever conceived, and which haverequired thousands of years for the cun-aing hand of nature to form. Personsare now waiting for the spring to open toenter in and take possession of these re-markable curiosities, to make merchan-dise of those beautiful specimens, to fencein these rare wonders so as to charge visi-tors a fee, as is now cfone a"t Niagara Falls,for the sight of that which ought to be usfree as the air or water.

In a few years this region will be aplace of resort for all classes of peopleIroni all parts of tho world. The gof Iceland, which have been objects of in-terest for the scientific men and travelersof tho entire world, sink into insignifi-cance in comparison with the hot springsof the Yellowstone and Fire Hole Basins.As a place of resort for invalids it willnot be excelled by any portion of theworld. If this bill fails to become ithis session, the vandals who are now wait-ing to enter this wonderland will, in asingle season, despoil beyond recoverythese remarkable curiosities which haverequired all the cunning skill of naturethousands of years to prepare.

\\Tc have already shown that no por-tion of this tract can evor bo made avail-able for agricultural or mining purposes.Even if tho altitude and the climate•would permit tho country to bo madoavailable, not over fifty square miles ofthe entire avea oonld ever bo settled. Thevalleys are all narrow, hemmed in byhigh volcanic mountains like giganticwalls.

The withdrawal of tho tract, therefore;from sale or settlement takes nothingfrom the value of tho public domain, andit is no pecuniary loss to the government,but will be regarded by the entire civil-ised world as a step of progress and anhonor to Congress and the nation.

Sagin.iw Salt.Tho Saginaw Courier says: " I t is

probable that it will bo full thirty daysand may be longer, before the mills andsalt works are in operation. In the mat-ter of salt, tho prospects are not flatter-ing. The association is practically aban-doned, salt has gone to very low figures,and if the few sales oi' salt that havebeen reported, arc any indication of thomarket, this fact alone will close half thoworks on the river, as the price is muchl)wer than the coat of manufacturingkettlo salt. So far as this- market is con-cerned, it will open whith but a lightstock on hand, much lighter than everbefore, a large proportion of the manu-facturers being entirely "cleaned out.'The a: L aLjo have a light stock onhand. Under the existing state oi' affairs,it is not surprising that a number of man-ufacturers declare their intention not torun their work this season. I t is under-stood that theio is an immense amount ofOhio River salt on hand of last year'smake, nnd which could not bo got intomarket last year on account of low water.If the season is favorable this salt will bnon the market, and doubtless come instrong competition with Baginaw salt.The association at Onondaoa* our ppal rival, has dissolved and its affairs arein bankruptcy. Independent of whatthis company, or thi ;nies of On-ondaga may manufacture this year, theyhave a large stock on hand lVom lastyear.

A report of the committee of tho ti us-tees of tho Salt Company of Onondaga,made to tho trustees and just pu'ushows that the total production of Onon-daga for tho past year was 8,383,463 bush,els of salt, of which -'!,7 19,416 bushels, os45 per cent of the -whole production, waron hand r,n the Jst of January, 181ing 230,000 bushels more than remainedon hand at the close 1870, and is .proportion of the entiio amount whichwill be required to supply the market forthe current year.

PAPAPKAYED SO.—There once livedin one of the hill towns of western Mass-achusetts, then noted for tho intel!;and piety of its inhabitants, a lovelyChristian family. The" mother being aninvalid, a gentle girl of IT became theguide and constant companion of a brightlittle sister of four summers. X,".-most a mother's fondness she took thedarling to her own room, and nigh:night, as she prepared her for bed, andkneeled beside her while the little onelisped her simple pray< r,heard the words: "Oh, Lord, don'1us with a knife!" At first she took noapparent notice of them, lest the littletiling should I ; ig outher own words. Finding, hothe little prattliexpression, the elder sister said:

"Why does my pet pray so t "" Cause my papa docs," was the prompt

reply."Why, no, darling; papa doesn't pray

in that way."" Yes he does, sister: I say he does."A morning or two after, us they

both kneeling by the same chair, whilethe fat • iicii-d family worship, he

"O, Lord ! cut us not off in thi'gar." Instantly the curly head was

glance sent up to thoelder sister's face, as in earnest tones thelittle one whispered : " I told you pupaprayed so."

In the Garden.As soon us 1 he frost is out of the ground

tho rough portion of the >f theasparagus bed can Se removed, and theother carefully forked in. Most of thecring of {I can also boremoved, and the rest let remainmulch. Flower-borders, which are usu-ally well covered with manure in the fall,can be treated in the same way, and theborders partially dressed. About mid-April the rest cnii be tenderly forked in,especially where there are bulbs remain-ing in the soil or tender roots, and th»beds put in tho best order.

Raspberry ennes, laid down throughthe winter can be relieved of their •ing as soon now as the frost is out of theground, and should be staked nj> a: once.In staking they should bo tied loosely togive tho young branches room to growand expand. Rose bushes not yet thinnedout and the dead wood removed, shouldbe attended to at once. Rampant growersrequire sharp pruning. All stalks par-tially killed should bo cut out to theground. The best ruses are producedfrom young or well-pruned bush* s.

Shrubbery generally should fee wellthinned out. Home of the spirSBS growtall and spindling, and fall over on ev-ery side, unless kept down. To have thofinest snow-balls there should be frequentplantings of young wood, as it is thisthat produces the largest flowers.

The jirst crop of peas—extra, early—should be sown ns soon as the ground isfit. Tho onion crop is among the first togot in. Tho value of this vegetable isgreatly underrated. None is more nu-tritious and wholesome, and should be inovory household. •

Rhubarb roots should bo transplantedas soon as possible. So with horse-radish.This should be cut in pieces, each with asmall particle adhering, and set two inch-es under tho surface, in a rich, moistspot. A bed once established will keepitself going.

Grafting can now be proceeded with.Bo careful in waxing or tying up entire-ly to exclude the water, otherwise yourgrafting will be fruitless.

Lot your out-door grape-vines lie on theground until after they have begun tosprout, if you desire low-branching vines,and new wood for renewing.

How TO PLANT THB POTATO.—"!1. G.,"in tho Prairie Fanner, says upon this sub-ject :

Plant never less than six inches deep,better seven; in sandy soil never lessthan seven or seven and a half. Thereason is this, and it will show how ma-ny points it will cover: I t will put thecrop beyond tho hurtful influence of theheat and.the drought; it will bury the

id SO that the frost cannot reach it ear-ly as it is put into the ground; and if itshould reach it, being buried so deeply,it will draw out gradually, which willsave it. It is as well hero, tho seed is, asin the cellar, and may better sprout herothan in tho cellar. It will thus showabove the ground in duo time, when thefrosts have disappeared and tho growingseason sets in. The soil being well drained—an indispensable thing—tho rest willnot hurt. There being a good mellowsoil, with tho humus (vegetable ncharging it, it will be comparatively dryand warm. This will save the seed, pro-Tiding always it is sotfnd ; otherwise, af-fected with rot, it will be lost.

Tho distance of planting apart mustdepend upon the sort that is planted. Aspreading potato—spreading in the hill—must have more room. Thus, we plantthe Peach Blows farther apart than theEarly Rose. Tho^ latter will put its tu-bers close together, a nest of them, andtho hills can be put close together, say

eeh inches, or drop the(a single eye or two) continuously

eight inches apart, the row;; as near to-gether as will permit with the cultivator,tha nearer tho better for tho close-grow-ing roots. By thus planting) as will beseen, rather close, there will bo no over-grown, and, consequently, coarse, and itmay. be, hollow potatoes. Neither willthere be necessarily many small ones, ospecially with some sorts, of which theEarly ltose is a beautiful example. Thesize will be medium, large enough—justtho thing for cooking ; and there will beimproved quality—a thing, we neod notsay, of no secondary importance.

Select such seed for planting as is wan-ted to be grown, of the best, the finest-qualities all round, and divide into asmany eyes as it pleases—a few oyes onlyin a hill.

Liquid Excrement.IIow strangely we overlook tho value

of the liquid excrement of our animals!A cow, under ordinary feeding, furnishesin a year 20,000 pounds of solid excre-ment and about 8,000 pounds of liquid.Tho comparative money valuo of the twois but slightly in favor of the solid. Thisstatement has been verified as a truth ov-er and over again. The urine of herbiv-orous animals holds nearly all the secre-tions of tho body which are capable ofprocuring tho rich nitrogenous compoundsso essential as forcing or leaf-formingagents in tho growth of plants. Tho solid holds the phosphoric acid, theliino andmagnesia, which go to the seeds princi-pally; but the liquid, nitrogen, pand soda, is needed in forming the stalkand leaves. The two forms of plant nu-triment should never be separated or al-lowed to be wasted by neglect. Tho far-mer who saves all the urine of his animalsdoubles his manurial resources everyyear. Good seasoned peat is of immenseservice to farmers when used as an ebent, and the stalls for animals should beso constructed as to admit of a wide pas-sage-room for peat, to be used dailywith tho excrement.—Boston Journal of

rtry.— ftt-^mm^**^

A STORY WITH A MOKAT,.—Tho Legis-lature bad just convened at the capita] olIowa. Governor Grimes had arrived thenight beforo and taken rooms at « cer-l.iin hotel—at least so a young aspirantfor offico from a distant portion of theState ascertained as ho drove up nndalighted from a carriage at tho stops ofthat public house. The i w outhis trunk and the landlord conducted himto his room, leaving the trunk in the barroom. Wishing his trunk the young mandemanded to have it brought ap, andseeing a plainly-dressed man passingthrough the lower hall, whom he took tobe a porter, ho gave his command in nnimperious, lofty tono. The order wasobeyed, and the man charging a quar-ter of a dollar for hi , a markedquarter or old fashioned pistarecn, worthonly about twenty cents, was slipped in-to his hand by the man, with a smile.

" And now, sirrah," said tho new arri-val, "do you know Gov. Grimes V "

"Oh, j'cs, sir."""Well, tako my card to him and tell

him I wish to see him ut his earliest con-venience. "

"I am Gov. Grimes, at your service.""You—I—that is, my dear sir, I beg a

—a—thousand pardons."" None needed ai all, sir," replied the

Governor. " I was rather favorably im-pressed with your letter, and thought youwell suited for the offico specifi-d. But,sir, any man who would swindle a work-ingman out of a paltry five cents woulddefraud tho public treasury had he anopportunity. Good morning, sir."

Wilbur E. Parker, of Meridon, Conn.,has three eyeless fish taken from thestream in the Mammoth Cavo. They arealive, quick as lightning, and almostwhite in color. The specimens are abouttwo inclins in length, though the fish fre-quently reach six and oip'ht inches, inshape they are something like a "bull-head." Mr Parker also found specimensof craw fish looking liko white lobsters,l'hcy are also blind, and white In color.
