-ve 1 The Spy should have the eye of Argus: he is honorable if he do but look to the welfare of the commonwealth. WORCESTER thvkmday. November a. wi. Mi. William M. Evarts’ services are in de mand just now for a singular variety of em ployments. Mr. O’Conor asks his aid in prose cuting the municipal thieves; be is nominated for both the senate and the assembly Brigham Young wishes to retain him for the defence in the very urgent proceedings against the Mormon prophet for murder and other offences; the I'nited States claim bis advocacy before the in ternational tribunal at Geneva, and now, while he is beset bv these distracting demands, comes Mrs. Josephine Mansfield Lawler, with perhaps half a dozen other aliases, and asks that he should act as umpire in her quarrel with the no torious Fisk, Jr. An almost incredible statement comes from Washington, bcs.de which the stories of un quiet ghosts, and petrified giants, in which some of our western exchanges indulge, and even the late veracious account of terrestial disturb ances in Florida, are easy of belief. Only our implicit confidence in the postmaster general enables us to believe that for some of the offices which he has to fill there is a scarcity of ap plicants. He positively asserts on his official responsibility, ami we arc compelled to believe him, that much annoyance is occasioned in his department by the resignation of postmasters at the rate of twenty or thirty a day, where nol>ody can be induced to accept the official honors. Many offices have actually been dis continued for the want of office seekers. There is not thought to be much danger of the gen eral work of the post office being seriously crippled from that cause. How much of truth there was in the reported alliance between the English peers and the work ingmen is not yet clear. Later news from Eng land shows that the statements originally made weie at least premature, but it is equally certain that they were not without some foundation in fact. Sir Stafford Northcote, one of the alleged signers of the treaty, writes to an English paper as follows: “None of the noblemen or gentlemen whose names have lately been brought under public notice have signed, or in any way intimated their agreement with, any of the resolutions which have been published, or any resolutions at all; nor has any meeting taken place between them and any council or body of working men. Ail that has passed, so far as I am aware, is that some peers and members ot parliament have expressed their willingness to consider any suggestion lor legislation on questions aflec'ing the util being cf the working classes, and to discu s i: kt,, in a friendly spirit. No such sug gt- vt r, have as yet been made in a foiai <>i consideration.” 'I. Salisbury makes a similar dc- nia does the marquis of Lorne. The Lun y m.lent of the Tribune says it is believe i tu. bargain, if there was any, is com pletely broken off. The workingmen, from whom the story originally came, were probably deceived by some disingenuous or over-sanguine go-between, and Mr. Scott Russell mentioned as likely to have misled them. The affair, has been the political sensation of the season in England. The democratic state committee of New York, of which Mr. Tilden is chairman, have issued an address to the voters of the state “denounc ing local corruption in general terms, and fed eral usurpation more strongly/’ so the tele graph informs us this morning. Nasby, in his account of the late democratic state convention, represents Tweed as advising just this course. N Baby’s report says: “Wouldn't it be well enough,” sed Tweed, with a smile still more bland than the first, “wouldn't it be well enough to put in a resol u shion denoncing corrupshen in general terms, nv course, specify in partikelery, however, the especial corrupshen uv the the nashnel gov ernment, ami that uv states which is under radi kal rontio)?’ The sublimity uv sich a sejestion comin from Tweed struck the chairman all uv a heap. “Certainly, 1 will, cf yoo wish it,” sed he, “hut I sp' sed—that is, my idea wuz —in a gen eral way, you know, that the least said about corrupshun, in view uv—well, 1 am jist now holding a place wich pays suthin like ten thou,— but never mind, R slid he done.” “I’hen agin/' sed Tweed, smilin still blander and with the faintest sejestion uv a wink in his left eye, “I would sejest that you pledge the democratic party to a honest and economical expenditoor of the publick funds.” I'he chairman turned pail with surprise, but be concluded. “Everybody coincides with Tweed.” “And while yoo are at it,” continued the great chieftain with a smile, the blandnis uv which can’t tie described, “yoohad better put in a res olooshen denounsin the profligacy uv matters in Noo York city, but makin it, mind yoo, cz rhe legitimate result uv radical legislashen four years ago. Draw up this rcsoiooshen so ez to make it plain that its me yoor drivin at, without exactly namin me.” “Why wat slid wc—” “Don’t go c a wit ness of the affair, for it was a pleasant sight to see those old weather-beaten pioneers of the iHirder gather again in their proud metropolis, cgjpe ul tbew after of separation In differ* gailn Spn: Wmesfn, gaining, gobember 2, 1871. ent parts of what is now a great commonwealth. It was a heart.v coming together of old friends, those who knew the country and could appre ciate the great transition from a hunting ground where they had fought the wild Indian and, chased the buffalo and deer, to a grand highway for the onward march of a mighty and irresisti ble civilization. This route will undoubtedly become a favorite one to the Pacific and Califor nia, and be the means of rapidly developing the whole northwest, which even now is favored with a good number of railroads and a centre of activity, called Saint Paul. J. f. m. Dwelling* in New York. A New York correspondent oi the Cincinnati Gazette writes: There is an aristocratic air about Fifth avenue that impresses cverv one alike. A fastidious gentleman from the French capital, on driving “up” for the first time, feels himself at once to be in the right place, and a booby fresh from the country just as quickly feels that he is not. The survey of both, however, will end in the same conclusion—that the private wealth of New York is simply immense. But, as is almost all the big things of this country, there is a degree of sham connected with it. About half, if mil more, of these grand looking mansions are merely rented, and can be had by the year or quarter. In many cases they are subrented with furniture and livery for both house and stable complete; and, unlike the houses that rent in this wav in Europe, the price demanded is a small fortune per annum. But in New York there is an annual twisting about of fortunes, and occupants are easily found. Show is the watchword here, as well as throughout the city; and he who would live within the glittering margin oi Fifth avenue, and who would be a success, needs but one ac quisition, viz., the funds to make a brilliant be ginning. It may be a restless shoddy merely trying the atmosphere, a newly ripening office holder, or a defaulting bank clerk—no one knows or cares, if his sojourn but helps to swell the display. They that rent are there one year and gone the next—up in a balloon, perhaps, but no one knows. If their diamonds were bogus, they flashed brightly enough, and if their silverware was common plate, no one asks. Aside from the hows homo, who throws away money like dirt, comes those unfortunate beings who live on pretense. For example, parties that have contracted such a violent and overflowing af fection for some other party that they actually rent them a part of the house. “Nothing,” says Madame, “but the love I have for that woman could have induced me to do such a thing.” “From pride, vain glory, and hypocrisy, good Lord deliver us.” Others again “keep the pot boiling” by hav ing a few friends staying with them. The latter class of hand to mouth individuals arc numerous, ami may be divided between im poverished southerners, who in truth can not reduce their pride to a common level, and those who would keep boarders or sell their souls if it enabled them to give their address from Fifth avenue. A few keep what is popularly known as “Fifth avenue boarding houses,” and certain ly deserve a credit mark in being so vulgarly truthful as to admit so common a fact. Fifth avenue is the top round of the ladder of respect ability, but most assuredly some of the descend ing rounds are equally, if not more, interesting in the way of detail The dwellers on Madison and Lexington avenues are decidedly on the second round, in the matter of locality; but they hold up their aristocratic heads with true dignity, are exces sively exclusive, and the feminine portion, in giving their address to a shop clerk, have an air grand toso that belongs to those avenues alone. But among them, also, are to be found parties living “up stairs,” and those keeping boarders openly, and others that take them on the sly. The cross streets from Thirtieth street up to Central Park will, however, form the most in teresting account to readers generally, the houses, of the same somber hue, and no less stately than their Fifth avenue neighbors, are built on quite a different plan, and with a view to renting. Of course there are many splendid dwellings occupied by their owners, and having every appendant convenience and luxury; but it is not of these the writer would speak, but rather of the houses that are two or three iu one. To live, that is to keep house in the west on a second or thitd floor would be to “live in rooms” and correspondingly vulgar. The high est respectability, however reduced, would hard ly like to try it; but here, as in Paris, it is quite the thing, and the best people to do it. Suites of rooms or “French flats” they are called, and in compact completeness are pefect. On each floor will be found a little house of six or seven rooms; there is a good sized parlor, two or three tiny bed rooms, bath, dining room, kitch en and closets. In the kitchen will be found a range with boilers that supply the bath and basins with hot water, also abundant closet room and sometimes four or five large drawers. The dining room tor has its closets and di aw ers, ami the bed rooms are not neglected, hav ing whatever of closets, shelves and hooks that space will allow. The ceilings are always lofty, in the parlor prettily ornamented, and the mantels invariably of white marble. The upper suites are usually, but not always, rented out by the person occupying the lower portion of the house, and there are a few rules to be observed, which arc something as follows: The front windows must be all curtained alike, generally with white draw curtains (lace behind them being optional) th* stairs suitably car peted, ami the front door never to be left open. That every one may answer their own bell, callers, as well as the butcher and baker, give it one, two, or three taps, according to the story. Rents in a house of this kind average from S4OO to S6OO per year; a merit belonging to this style of living that is understood by New Yorkers alone. Certainly this mode of having a home to one’s self can not he too highly com mended, for there are no small houses below Seventieth street, and the prices asked for large ones arc far beyond the purse of a majority of families. To live in such a house as described above is perfectly respectable, references being required on both sides. The term of renting is never less than six months, and a passer-by in gazing at its lace draped windows and well kept front would never dream that more than one family dwelt within. The next step down the ladder of respectabil ity is to the flats, that are equally nice iu finish and conveniences, but are situated over stores. 'Hie rates of rent are in accordance with the locality or avenue. In some cases the landlords are very particular, and ask for references, but as frequently are quite indifferent, a person that is cleanly, well dressed, and can pay the rent regularly, being considered proper enough. The rules are; Rent in advance; the stairs to be kept clean and lighted, and the front door kept closed. Like similar buildings in Paris, the tenants of one floor know but little ot the others. The ladies on the top story may he a bit too dressy, but the parties beneath do not know it, and, if the fact were mentioned to them, would probably remark that it was no concern of theirs, Houses of this class are, of course, nothing more or less than tenement houses, and may he known as such by the bell arrangement at the front door. Like o gan stops, the bell knobs range one above another, with the figure 1,2, 8, 4, and so on, marked upon them, denoting the floor to which they belong. This tenement arrangement of living, like that on a higher scale, cannot be too highly commended, sheltering, as it does, the many that are Jiving on medium salaries at moderate rates. The working elapses find a home in yet anoth er kind of tenement, where the rooms are small? er, darker, and with but limited conveniences. The rents average from $lO to S2O per month, and the rules of the bouse are to scrub the stairs once a week qnd keep the peace.' Many of them are very large, accoinmuJatlng fppp twenty to forty families, in this cast; the “organ snips” extend up to six on cither side of the front door. Not infrequently the landlord employs a jani tresi to look after the premises. She has her rooms rent free, and her duties are to light up the halls, keep the front door shut, (a rule ob served in al! houses), and see that each woman scrubs the stairs in her turn. In addition to which she must keep her cars open at night, and see that none of the tenants move out in “the wee sma’ hours,” leaving an unsightly state of dirt behind them, and a few weeks' rent unpaid. The occupants are mostly street ear drivers and conductors, poor seamstresses and economi cal Germans. Now and then, however, a poor bohemian’ is to be met with, iu a back room at the top ot the house, feeding on crusts, the sole product of his overtaxed brain. Respectability ends here, the last round of the ladder having been readied. Mr. Ewing of Ohio, who has just died, was the lather of Gen. Sherman by adoption before he became his fatherdudaw. How he came to be is thus told in “Ohio in the War”; The members of the bar at Lancaster knew very well that Judge Sherman had left no adequate pro vision fur his large family, and it was agreed among them that some of the children should be educated and supported by the legal brethren of the deceased parent. In accordance with this arrangement, Thomas Ewing, then in the prime of his reputation as a great lawyer and statesman, deci led to adopt one of the boys. "I must have the smartest of them,” so the stories of the times tell us that Mr. Ewing said to the widow; and mi the same authority we have it that, after consultation between' the mother and the eldest sister, “Ciimp,” at that important period of his life at play iu a neigh boring sand bank, was selected, The next seven years passed iu schooLlioy life in Lancas ri Sherman was fairly adopted into the Ewmg family, and he soon made bis way to all their hearts. He was sent to the English de partment of the village aradetnv, where In* stood well in his classes, and came*to be a nrom ismg boy. ’lucre was nothing specially re markable about him,” so writes his foster father, Mr. Ewing, “excepting that I never knew so young a boy who would do an errand so correctly and promptly as he did,” And again, “he was transparently honest, faith ful and trustworthy. Studious and cor rect in bis habits, his progress in ed ucation was steady and substantial. And so the boy reached his 17th year. Mr. Ew iug now had a vacancy at West Point iu bis gift, and he bestowed it upon the child of his old friend. Young Sherman was admitted to the academy in June, 1886, and, with the exception of a two months’ furlough in the summer of 1889,.which be spent iu a visit to his home at Lancaster, be remained there continuous!v until hi» graduation in June, 1840, Starting with a good preliminary education, he had maintained a fair, though not first-class standing, to the close. Mr. Ewing desired that he should gradu ate in the engineer corps. This, as he himself wrote some months before, he was unable to do, but his rank was such as to entitle him to enter the artillery. He was the sixth in his class. The pleasantest glimpses we get of the four years of cadet life, are in the letters of the future lieuten ant-general to the fair companion and playmate of his Lancaster home. These letters are sp: ight ly, vivacious, and a trifle eccentric, —not at all unlike in style those graver epistles, which, at a later period, were to draw from the nncompli mental v secretary of war the compliment that “Shernian wrote as he fought.” In 185,, he re turned to “the states,” and, on the Ist of May, his long engagement was closed by his marriage to Miss Ellen Ewing, at the residence of her father, then secretary of the interior. Among the guests who graced the wedding were, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and Zachary Taylor. He was soon sent to garrison duty at Jefferson Bar racks, Missouri, and shortly afterward, with the brevet of captain ‘for meritorious services in California during the war with Mexico,’ was made commissary, and sent first to St. Louis and then to New Orleans.” Value of Fodder Corn. The department of agriculture has just issued a statement, presenting a long line of testimony from various sources on the value of fodder corn as a supplementary feed or soiling crop for milch cows in summer. We present below the conclu sions deduced from the testimony given: 1. Green corn fodder is neither worthless nor the poorest of all soiling material. 2. It is the beet when planted in drills or hills, not so thickly as to prevent normal growth and development, cultivated to destroy weeds and grasses, and cut between tassel ling and earing, when the elements elaborated for production of the ear are stored in readiness for immediate use. 3. it is probable, both from the rationale of the case and from facts presented above, that in the most northern latitudes a mistake has often been made in sowing thickly southern corn which cannot mature, the fodder from which, led in August, must be very nearly worthless. On the contrary, the fodder from northern corn, especially sweet corn, drilled and cultivated, and fed just before caring, is found to be very valuable. 4. Its value, compared with lucerne, millet, the best grasses, and other plants containing a larger percentage of nutriment, taking into con sideration the quantity produced and the cost of its production, has not been determined fully, and should be decided by a series of thorough and exhaustive experiments. It is evident from all that is conflicting in the opinion of different feeders, that the differences are mainly due to the degree of maturity or soundness of the corn. That from thick sowing, immature, colorless and watery, is unfit to place before the cows of any well regulated dairy. It is probable that half that is fed is improperly cultivated or in a state of growth not productive of the highest results If this should he the case, how stupid to condemn the maize for the ignorance of the cultivator. If it is found to contain too little nutriment lor its bulk, or too small an amount of the flesh-form ing element, the suggestion found in the prac tice of some, of giving a small amount of more highly concentrated nutriment in connection with corn fodder is eminently wise. l’his is a deficiency easily remedied. While corn is our national crop, less fastidious in the circum stances of its growth than almost any other, and capable of yielding so largely under the proverbial neglect which characterizes our cul ture, let not this fodder be discarded until some thing of greater practical value is found, the superiority of which has been actually demon strated under the local circumstances of soil, climate and cultivation. Potato Rot in Great Britain.— The London Field of Oct. 14th, says: We are sorry to confirm the unfavorable re ports as to the potato disease. The crop, as a rule, is not heavy; the sets, though numerous, are small; and tally half the crop is diseased. On the best land the loss will be the greatest; so much so, that in some localities noted for the abundance and excellence of their usual produce whole fields are being ploughed down as worth less. An important question arises as to how best to utilise the diseased potatoes; they must be used at once, otherwise decay will soon pro duce corruption. The first effect of the disease is the production of sugar from a portion ol the starch; hence the stock eat the potatoes readily, not only without any ill effects, but with great advantage; and cattle on grass have been made fat with a plentiful supply. No preparation is necessary. The potatoes are distributed out of a cart, and as soon as the animals get accustomed to the taste they eat them greedily. This year the pastures are so full of meat that such extra food is less wanted; still it is a means of getting rid of them. Those who have the opportunity might boil or steam rhe potatoes, and mash them down in air tight bins, wis) salt; possibly they might be stored under the soil in a pit, but the air must be excluded and salt used freely. Pigs, calves, and indeed all kinds of stock, not excluding farm horses, thrive well on potatoes; the onlv difficulty is how to get rid ol them whilst any good remains in them. Novel Commencement of a Honeymoon. —The Prince de Polignac recently married Mdlle de Bagneax. The newly-married pair set out on their way to D.cppe,where they intended to spend their honeymoon. On arriving at Rouen, they found that the train would not leave for Dieppe for two hours and decided to go to Havre instead. On their arrival, their passports were demanded. But unfortunately for the lovers none were forthcoming. The bride groom gave his name and title, and the bride wept, but all to no purpose. They were looked upon as impostors, and marched off by a police man to headquarters. At length, by their uni ted entreaties, the police superintendent was in duced to send a telegram to the bride’s father: “A man calling himself Prince de Polignac, just arrested at Havre, says he is your son-in-law. Is that the case?” Very soon an answer was returned: “The man must be an impostor. My daughter and son-in-law have gone to Dieppe.” Of course after such a confirmation of the sus picions against them, there was no hope of a reprieve, for that night at least. The “happy pair” were actually carried off to the lock-up, where they had to spend their wedding night. It was not until the following day that they succeeded in establishing their identity. Rats in the Hennery.—A lady who has a number of fine hens to which she had devoted a good deal of care and attention during the winter, in hopes of obtaining an early and a fair crop of fresh eggs, was surprised at the meager result actually reached. The hens made noise, in singing and cackling, enough for everyday layers, and yet only occasionally did she get an egg. The lady at length determined to watch operations and ascertain if possible the cause of the failure. She saw the hens go upon the nest, but if she was not present when they came off, no eggs were found. At length constant watching and waiting solved the mys tery. A day or two since, while on the watch, a hen cameoff the nest and commenced cackling. Almost instantly an old rat came out of a hole, and running into a barrel, which was thrown down on its side, and in which the lien’s nest was, at once nosed the upon the ground, then lay down upon its back, and getting the egg bet ween its I orcpaws and nose, commenced squealing, when two other rats came out, and taking the rat with the egg by the hind legs, dragged it, egg and all, into the hole. The lady affirms that she can substantiate the foregoing fact by at least thrye witnesses, —Poultry Stand ard.

If a person has diseased lungs, a cavity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the muter cannot ripen, so long as the sys tem is below par. Wnat is necessary to cure is a new order of things, a good appetite, a good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and gel fat; then nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown off In large quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This is the true and only plan to cure Consumption, and if a person is very bad. if the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if theer is enough vitality left in the other to heal up. there is hope. 1 have seen many persons cured with only one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This is what Schenck’s medicit.es will do to cure Consumption. They will clean out the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a good digestion, and give nature the assistance she needs to clear the system of all the disea-o that is in Hie lungs, whatever the form may be. it is iinoortant that, while u-ing Schenck’s medicines, care should be exercised not to take cold; keep in doors in cool and damp weather; avoid night air and take out door exercise only in genial and warm sunshine. I wisli it distinctly understood that when 1 recommend a patient 10 lie careful in regard to taking cold while using my medicines, Ido so for a special reason. A man who has but partially recovered from Hie etiect- of a bud cold is far more liable to a relapse than one who has been entirely cured, and it is precisely the same In regard to Consumption, so long as the lungs are not pencctlv healed. just so long is there imminent danger of a full return of the disease Hence it is that Iso strenuously caulion pulmonary patients against exposing themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Con ti lined consumptives’ lungs are a mass of sores, whicli the least change of atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of my success with my medicines consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instcal of provoking it, as many of the faculty do. Au inflamed lung cannot with safety to the patient be exposed to the biting blasts of winter or the chilling winds o’ spring or autumn, it should be carefully shielded from all irri.aiing influences. The utmost caution should beobserved in this particular, as without It a cure under almost any circumstances is an impocsibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutri tious diet, and all the medicines continued, until the body has restored to it the natural quantity ot tiesh and strength I was myself cured by this treatment of the worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to get Hit amt hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone. 1 have cored thousands since, and very many have been cured bv this treatment whom 1 have never seen.
