A correspondent writes, "I read with
interest tho urticlo published iu o
March number of tho Companion, de
acribiiig tho pages employed iu tho
Capitol at Wanbiugton. Tho faot men
tioned in tho description, that their
moral education ia neglected, remindod
mo of a nee no I witnessed in tho Bcnate
Chamber ouo night lust winter.
" It was tho night on which roemotial
scrvicos in honorof tho Jato l'rof. Henry
woro hold in tho Hall of Representa
tive. Tho hall was packed, nnd in
stead of trying to pimU my way in, I
went over to tho Bonatu Chamber.
"il waa brilliantly lighted, and
though the Senators woro nbneut they
wero attending tho memorial services
their seats wero occupied by the pages.
"Thoy wero holding a mock sesniou.
One of their number, occupying the
Vice President's chair, was returning
thanks fur tho honor of a third election
as their tireaidinit ofllccr. His Lean
was warm, ho said, and though un
worthy of tho position, ho would strive
to till it to tho boat of his ability.
" When ho took his seat, amid gen
eral applause, a bill giving tho suffrage
to women was read.
"A page representing tho Senator
from arose and began a speech. It
hurt him to tho very euro of his heart,
ho said, to wee tho way tho country waa
goiug to tho dogs, lio couldn't think
of tho WomaiiVItighta question with
out shedding bitter tears.
" Hero ho gavo way to hU emotions,
and amid his sniflliug several glasses
of water and two or tlirvo towels wero
offered him. Wiping his eyes aud
moistening his lips, ho began again.
" With violent gesticulations nnd
loud vuico, ho depicted tho dark, proa
iKHils of tho country until, aaain over
come by his emotions, ho dropped into
his neat, took up an ovouiug paper, and
Boomed absorbed iu tho uoara.
" Hovcral other amateur senators
spoke, aud so Krfoct waa tho imitation
of senatorial forms and peculiarities,
that tho audience regretted when a mo
tion to adjourn flutslicd tho mock ses
sion. " I saw and moralised. Tho little
fellows hail picked up tho ways of tho
Houalors they waited ou. Ferhnps tho
pago who called for 'a gloss of lager' at
tho restaurant's bar had picked up that
iniy from n real Benator." Wathwj'

What Ho Wanted.
Col. JJavy Crockett's original exhibi
tions of chaiaclor and manners at Wash
ington havo been tho thomo of many a
story, nnd matter for many u hearty
laugh. A Washiugtou lottor-writor do
scribes a similar gonius out of the
woods, who made his first visit four or
lire years ago to tho seat of Govern
ment on oflieial businoss from Tuget
Bound :
Ho put up at a fashionable hotel, and
at ditiuor that day, after astounding tho
waiters by his extraordinary appttito,
having tasted of every dub, ou tlio
menu, tho i'ugot Bounder touched bot
tom ou the dessert.
AmotiKst other things thoro woro
apple dumplings, with u sauce of sugar
and butter, aud a strong iufusiou of
ooguao, a combination of ingredients
not oujoollouaulo to tno irouiioroiuciat.
Tho steward, iu doling out his dump
liugs, utuiguod to each a becoming ra
tiou of sauce.
Tho I'ugot Bounder, by a partiality
for sutico, caused it to fall in its distri
bution to dumpling, so that the supply
of tho former wua soon exhaustod,
leaving but a leathory mass of buru
dumpling.
Tho frontier official in bis time had
swallowed worso tltiuga thau Washiug
tou hotel dumplings, but after nibbling
urottud tho doughy, mass, nud selecting
from beneath tho covering all tho apple
ho could scrapo out, tho waiter, uottoi
tug tho situation, stepped up nud in
quired " Governor, will you havo aomo mora
dumpliug?"
Tho official, first looking ut tho waiter
to see if ho was iu earnest, unci than at
his plateful of excavated dumplings,
replied, " No, thank ye; but, if it's all
tliu same to you, I'll Uko a lootlo mom
of that -ii(0Mtm(."

IUi-hara J'rclltble,
Thoro lias boon considorablo contro
versy ovor this venerable damo, whom
Wbittior has immortalized in song, as
" Uravost of all in Frodorick Town."
Homo claim that alio is a my lb ; that
thoro was no such person in exiUnco,
and tlmt tho scenes which Whitlior has
so graphically described woro only fig
ments of the poot's fancy. That Bar
bara 1'reilcbio livod, there is at present
no question, and, also, Hist she was
alive at llio limo Btonowall Jackson vis
ited the City of Frederick is also provoJ
boyond a doubt ; but for tho rest of tho
story, from all tho facts I can gather,
there scorns no authority other than the
pocra. At tho timo when thoso ovonls
woro claimed to havo occurrod, Damo
Barbara was Tory old and very decropit,
so much so llmt alto hobbled around
with a largo stafT, niul it is doubtful if
sho could havo mounted tho stairs to
tho attic for tho pnrposo of waving tho
lilllo silk flag which who kept carefully
laid away ill a bnrcan. That sho had
no great lovo for tho Confederates, is
shown in tho enrt speeches she is said
to havo made to somo of them who hap
pened to cross ovor tho bridge and sat
down on tho piazza at tho end of her
house, which was nt tho end of tho
bridge, ovorha'iging tho creek. " Off
with you 1 " sho said, with many un
complimentary porsonal allmions, and
poked them with her stau. This, cer
tainly was not vory complimentary, aud
probably wasu't intended to soothe
their feelings, us wo learn that Barbara
bad that womt of female wcsKtns, a
" sharp tongue," and, though so very
old, sho know how to uso it, as Ler
nephew, a secession sympathizer, could
testify. Barbara nscd to speak of him
as an " arrant knave," and whenever
alio drew her quarterly allowance he
always got a ull oi advico not at all la
keetuuic with his secesh proclivities.
I am not iucliuod to consular as authen
tic tho account of tho shooting of tho
flag-staff, nud of Damo Barbara's
picking it up, first, because the rebel
army did not enter Frederick City on
the oceaniou named. Tliev camo dowu
tho Biunaughlown road, tfiward tho
city, but turned oil belore reaching it,
ami look a toad running in tho other
direction, so that thoy would havo loft
Barbara's house behind them. Another
reason is that wo don't believe Btono
wall Jackson would havo ordered bis
troops to tire at a private house iu that
way, especially U Damo Jtruitctilo was
in sight, lor H is estauiuued on good
authority that ht bad grett respect for
aged, women, and it was his special de
light to engage them in conversation.

And not for her sake alono, but for bis,
for Btonowall Jackson was a remarkable
man certainly ono oi tho most illus
trious of our times. No moro promi
nent character was developed by " our
lato unpleasantness," Thuro art) many
who boliovo that had his life been
spared through tho war there might
havo been a different ending to tho con
Diet. Ho could truly be said to bo a
host in himself, aud it is doubtful if tho
loss of mauy thousand men would havo
crippled the Conft-derato army as did
tho loss of this ono man. Certain it is
that tbo next great battlo between tho
Army of tho Potomao aud the Army of
Northern Virginia brought dofeat to
the Utter, aud they gained no more sub
stantial victories. Tho battlo of Oettys
burg was tho turning point of tho war
against tho Confederates, and from that
timo their fortuues declined till they
culminated in tho fall of ltichmoud aud

word in vindication thoy havo been

And Whereas, All this has been dono
in order to prejudice our just cause
and deprivo un of the well-deserved
sympathies of tho hnmeno and liberty
loving American peop o, in onr desper

disgraoo.nl and unworthy bondage, in
consistent with tho progrossire spirit
of the nineteenth oontury ;
Whereas, furthor, Tho abovo-named
Pierro Kartchowsky has made himself
particularly obnoxious to our order by
transferring to this free noil tho con
temptible system of Romanoff espion
age ;"uow, thenforo, bo it resolved,
"To forward to tbo above-named Piorro
Kartchowsky tho Cist warning, that
should ho persist in his infamous con
duct, tho conaeqneiiccs will certainly be
disastrous to him, as they have been to
thoso who havo disregarded our warn

unanimously adopted, and the secretary

of this resolution to those it may con
cern. The Rcshiax Revolutiokabx Cou-

chowsky, Consul General do Ruasio,
Now York.
Mr. Kartchowsky informed tho re
porter who called at his office that he
iiau received tlio original notice, and
was ra'her unab:o to account for it.
" In regard to too second portion of tho
communication," taid ho, I may aay
the Russian Government has agents iu
all the largo cities of a rope, just as
tho German Government has, who re
port to their respective police depart
ments of St. J'etersuurir aud Berlin.
t'fueea attest are quito distinct from
the diplomatic branch oi the Uevern-
ment.
" In Isow York there aro no such
Russian agents, probably because uutil
la ely tlio number ol revolutionists bete
has been insignificant. These things
aro dona so openly uero tuat espionage
is nuiui unnecessary. The Govern
v mout makes no appropriation for work
ol Uiat kind. I am lrcqaontly m re
ceipt of letters the writers of which de
sire lo know if such or such a person has
ever been connected with the diplo
matic service. They aro generally
from Americans, aud 1 am compelled
geueruliy to reply in tho negative, as
tho named furnished me are merely
thoso which the individuals may desire
tu bo known by iu this country.
" I am obliged to reply to theso let
ters somewhat bliudly, and I think it is
in some such way that I havo been con
strued aa traducing tho character of
one referred to iu tho tiist part of this
letter. I ouly know of one person to
whom the language used might possi
bly apply, aud with him 1 am ou ex
cellent terms. I am not called upon
to inquire into tho standing which
people who apply to me herb have with
the Government. 1 havo helped many
to situations who wero unfriendly to
the Government. I am not required
to know what thoy do hero. They
come with parsporta from Russia, ami
having remained as long as they wish
to, 1 indorse thoir passports without
inquiry.
1 was consul iu Roumania in 18(37,
just after the Polish revolution, and
was surrounded by political refugees,
yet my Government never called upon
ma for any secret service in regard, to
them. With.auch a load, diplomacy
would bo too laborious and dangerous.
Iu the Uuitetl States it would bo espe
cially distasteful, nor should I have ac
cepted tho appointment with such du
ties attached to it.
Tho second part of tho ' first warn
ing appears to bo added simply to
complete the first. There woro no
grouuds for it. it is tho first intima
tiou I havo hail of the existonco of au
organized body of revolutionists in
Now York. I presume thoy are organ
ized, from tho faot of tho head lino and
motto being printed. You may say
that I am in no hurry to receivo warn
ing No. 2," said Mr. Kartchowsky,
laughing.

Frnit Trecf.
I find that limo, wood ashes and old
iron pnt around tbo roots of declining
frnit trees, havo a very beneficial effect.
Theso fertilizers restore tbo tree to a
hoalthy condition, and also greatly im-
iirovo tho frnit in quality and quantity,
' mado tho application on A Windsap
and Never Fall ; about half a bushel of
mixed limo and asbos to each and dug
it in with a hoc somo Ax feet aronnd
the trunk, and put tho old iron imme
diately around the baso of each.
Tho troos put forth -with renewed
vigor, bloomod abundantly, nndyislded

wash for trees may be mailo thus: Heat
an ounce of sabtoda to redness in aa
iron pot, and dissolve it in ono gallon
of water, and while warm' apply it to
tho trnnk, After ono application tho
moss and old bark will drop off and tho
lrnnk will be quito smooth. Tho wash
has highly recuperative properties,
making old trees bear anow.
I haro tried soft soap aa a wash vith
good results, and also a coating of lima
in the spring season, which. ia a fia
specific fur old trees. Tho question is
often asked, is it best to B&anro trea

Another method is to confine-shea in a

up. The meat anil oyster sheila will
satisfy the CravTHgToraaiasalfeod and
lime, and a month or six weeks of een
fiaemeot and porcelain eggs will effcet
a cure. I used to be truabled with
egg-eaters among nay nook, and cured
several by this method, hut ahonld sot
try it again unless the hens were very
valuable.
There are several woya by which hens
learn to eat their eggs. In cold weather
eggs aro left in tho nest until they
Ireeze and crack open, the hena peek at
the cracks aud aoon learn that eggs are
good to eat. Egg-shells ae thrown te
tho hens and they devour them greedily
for the sake of the lime, and soou learn
to peck at the whole eggs. From lack
of shell forming ingredients in thek
food, hens frequently lay soft-shelled
eggs, or eggs without any shells, asd
aa they doubtless feel ashamed of their
unfinished work, dovour it to get it est
of sight. .
The preventives are obvioas. Give
your hens plenty of lime in some shape
-crushed oyster-shells, barnt bene or
old plaster, and always asa pamlaia
nest-eggs. As soon as an egg-beater is
discovered she should be killed at
once, or removed from the ether fewk

We often hear it said ihat it does not
pay for farmers to rake this or that
breed of horses, but this k trae only
in a limited sense. The beet always
pays. The best specimens of any strain
or stylo of horses sell readily, at good
prices, and tho poor onea of all breeds
aro drugs upon tho market. It k no
doubt truo that a much greater meas
ure of success may be expected with
some breeds than with, .others, the
choice depending largely upon the eir
