LOVE OF MARRIED LIFE The affection that links
together man and wife is far holier and more en-
during passion than the enthusiasm of young love-
1t may want its gorgeousness- may want its i'm
aglnave character, but it is far richer in holy and
trusting attributes. Talk not to us of the abs ence
OF love in wedlock. What! because man has ceas-

brilliant fame; shedding benign influence upon
existence, million times more precious and delight
full than the dreams of philosophy.

EFFECTS OF FEEDING Cur AND UNCUT HAY TO
Mich Cows. From communication made to the
Agricultural Society ofWo rcester county, Massachu-
sets, by Mr.. William S. Lincoln, we make the fol-
| lowing extract. We copy from the New England
Farmer:
MY milking stock consisted of one COW which
came in the Goth of October, the two trial cows
and the other which caved last April and is expect
ed to calve the LIST of next April. Some time be-
fore commencing this experiment, was feeding my
stock-what would be called poor stock-with hay,
with allowance of roots. l commenced cutting
this hay for al my stock, young and DID, Sixteen
head)occupying and half hours daily. AL
most simultaneous with feeding the cut hay was an
increase of milk very perceptibe it MIXED in
the pail. An inquiry made by my wife, who in
person takes sole charge of the day. to the
of this increase. An cvasive reply made From
day to day the milk increased enough for the subSti
tuition of six quart for four pans, which had been
previously used. L think am within bounds in say
ing that the increase was over pint daily per cow,
occasioned to the best of my knowledge solely by
the of cut hay"
An IMPORTANT FACE In the recent New York
election the Hards voted 90, 900; the Sotts 1000,
added together making 192, 00O The wings voted
1885, 900. plurality merely. When it is recollected
that the Hards and Softs had both ratified and reaf
firmed the Baltimore resolutions, it will be that
the vote sustaining the administration carried ma
jority of 81 600. fact very pregnant of the popu
1arity which sustins the principles upon which the
Administration was elected and showing that but
for the miserable squabbles among the mseves, the
New York Democrats would have carried the entire
State ticket Thirty five thousand votes for the adj
minstration and by dividing their forces thirtyfour
thousand against themselves. The result of insane
disorganiZaton. An overwhelming ma ority defeat

s%y- The Paris Constitutional has an editorial
likely to be read with pleasure and profit by all it's
subscrbers-an able and amusing article the
happy situation of the American Secretary of the
Treasury, who has more money than he knows what
to do with, and is dreadfuy afraid lest his
excess may become yet more bulky and unmanagea-
BILE. His position is said to be unique in the world.
While all other ministers of finance, past present
and to come, have supposed their duty consisted in
continuing to down the expenses to the receipts
this model treasurer is striving to augment the
penses so that they may swallow up the receipts
The Constitutional declares frankly that it never
heard before of nation that could not spend its in
come, but cordially wishes the United States may
never find themselves in difficult pass.
On the other hand some of the European nations
are bankrupt, while EngIands debt is so immense
that she never hope to pay more than the inter
est upon it. These debts have been incurred in
for subugating mankind, and in bringing the masses
of nations under the rod of few tyrants and aris-
tocrats But the example of the United States is 81
lently operating all over Europe and if we hold to-
gether as we believe shall, and go forward for
the next fifty years gathering strength, and influence,
and power of will, as every thing now indicates
shall do that period will witness the crumbling of
the last throne in Europe and the establishment of
such in their stead shall consult and
advance the greatest good of the greatest number.

HON John W. ELLIS.

A writer in the last Fayetteville Carolinian says
I" observed recently in the Wilmington journal a
communication in which DR.. Columbus Mills, of
Rutherford county, is warmly recommended as the
next Democratic candidate for Governor. Dr. Mills
NAV possess all the antecedents and qualifications
which the writer claims for him, but allow to say
that many of the Democracy have been looking in
another direction. They have been strongly i'm
pressed with the favorable antecedents the unfinch-
ing devotion to democratic principles the high char
acter and popular and agreeable of the Hon.
John W. Ellis of Rowan that they desire to see him
nominated by the democratic party for the Guberna-
torial Office. Judge Ellis has repeatedly served in
the State Legislature as democratic commoner from
the wing county of Rowan, with great usefulness to
the State and credit to his party He is widely and
favorably known in the State his judicial duties hay
ing brought him in contact with every portion of it.
and his upright conduct and correct dspensation of
justice, tempering it with mercy, have won for him
the highest praise wherever he has been That he
would make successful canvass cannot doubt. On
the whole am strongly impressed with the idea that
he is now the most available nominate.
1 do not wish SO be understood wishing to make
apaiAa6i ity alone test 1t ought, however, to be
considered in making the nomination"
The last Wilmington journal says;
day last suggests the name of Hon. John w. Ellis
Judge of the Superior Court, as the next De-
mocratic candidate for Governor of North Carolina
Judge Ellis is certainly able, trustworthy and popu-
lar, and his upon the bench has enhanced his
previous high standing with the people. He would
receive a hearty support if nominated"
We desire it to be distintly understood that we
express no preference for Governor. 1t would not
become to do We look to the Convention to
select worthy and available candidate, and, who
ever he may be, shall give to him our heartest
support We entertain the strongest Confidence in
the ability and determination of the Democratic par
ty to elect the nominee, and also majority in the
ensuing Legislature.
We have deemed it duty to say thus MUCH as
we have already published and expect hereafter to
publish extracts and communications favoring the
nomination of different gentlemen. Our friends who
may write upon the subject, will, know, be
full to say nothing against any of the distinguished
gentlemen who have been or who may be spoken Of.
