Selecting Seed Corn.

Farmers well remember that for 2 or 3
years past, great deal of corn came up bad
ly. Last spring, especially, much of it rot
ted" in the ground. The loss from this cause
is hundreds of thousands the present season.
On our own ground with some fifteen acres
IN corn, the loss was next to nothing. The
same is true OF some Others We could name.
What is the reason of the difference Why
does the seed in one field gov, and in an
other not ? That is just what we want to
come at.
One great cause of the rotting of seed is,
that it was never well ripened. Another
reason is, that it is badly dried. Poorly ri
pened and badly dried seed is very easily in-
jured by fermentation, and very little fer
mentation and moulding will destroy vitality.
Last autumn we had the best, largest and ri
pest ears alefully selected, and braided to-
gether by the husks in tresses. and hung in q
dry place. This was planted, and potwith-
standing the drenchng rains and mud all
came up--not a missing hill or stalk-and
the field is noted as one of tho best in the
country. The same has been the experience
of some others. Those who made no selec-
ton and took no care of their seed, have had
"very bad luck" Another field was plant
ed with King Philip corn, not trussed but
as this sort ripens So early and perfectly this
operation appears not necessary. 1t came up
as evenly as the other.
Let farmers select their best and ripest
ears, and either truss and hang them up or
place them, in the ear, where they will dry
thoroughly, unless it be some very early,
quickly ripened sorts) and there will be bet
ter success and better luck with the corn
crop.-Cousatry Gentieman.

The Process of Popular Economy.

The most healthful result of the present
pressure in money affairs is the alacrity with
which every class of society has resorted to
retrenchment. There is not q household,
from the richest to the poorest, that has not
adopted this practice. Spendthrilt habits
are given up without sigh. In the course
of very short time the effect will BE- visible
1t is strange sight to see twenty-six mil
lioas of people, who have been rushing along
in Gne mad career of extravaganza, hating
suddenly in midway, and giving up all their
expensive courses of life. No nation in the
world is capable of such an act Of self-sacri-
flee. Henceforth, economy will become as
fashionable as was the reverse only few
weeks ago.
The enormous expenses for apparel VI i'll be
cut down at least three-fourths, while the
passion for great houses, public and private,
splendid furniture, luxurious carriages. and
the thousand ct ceteras which attend and fol.
low such folles, will soon become that part
of history of which all who participated in
it Will be most heartily ashamed. The New
York Evening Post, speaking Of the deter
mination to save money and to stop spending
it, uses the following striking language:
"When all the white people of the United
States reduce their expenses one shilling a
day, it makes difference of eighteen mil
lions of dollars week, ard over fifty mil
lions every month. If the nation could be
kept on a reasonably short allowance from
nos till the first of January, what VIC would
save would alone make US rich"
While the people are setting such an ex-
ample, one to the other, we suggest whether
this is not time for our representatives to
pause before resorting to any further special
legislation, and whether this is not the occa-
sion fer the banks to adopt the same course.

How A RAILROAD CONDUCTOR MANAGED IT.
The gallantry of conductor Cole, of the
Little Miami railroad, was put to a severe test
one evening last week. Among his numer-
Gus passengers on the run to Columbus was
young and interesting lady, accompanied by
her husband, apparently citizens of the "Sun-
ny South, and each elegantly dressed and of
refined manners. Unfortunately an accident
detained the train an hour and half behind
time. During the interim of waiting time"
the lady wnO had been observed to be in
very interesting situation began to manifest
symptoms of tribulation. She, however
maintained her composure with heroic forti.
tude until lOrbearance ceased to be modest
when ali intimatiOn of a very peculiar char
acter was conveyed to the conductor. He
Immediately sought for physician, caused
the remaining passengers to evacuate the
cars, and in little less than no time the child
was born. The train proceeded to Column
bus where the lady was carefully conveyed
under Mr.. Coles supervision, to a comforta-
bic hotel, when at last accounts the mother
and child were doing well. From circum-
stances that presented themselves soon after
the first excitement attending the novel ac-
couchment had subsidized, it transpired that
the lady had "timed' her ''labors," an,!
would have arrived at Columbus according to
her calculations. but for the mschance which
befel the train. The Importance of exact
connections thus commends itself in a very
notable manner to all railroad conductors
In conclusion, we remark that passengers on
that occasion, testify that the gallant young
conductor acquitted himself as gracefully Of
his duties as the young mother &C quitted her
self of her responsibilty.-Ciacinaati Com
mercial, 7M.

Granville went mad, and breathed his last in
a private insane house. Lasalle died at the
Clarendon mad house, a raving lunatic. Lowe
Winans died from eating opium and licen-
ciousness. Rabbe, after suffering agony
from loathsome disease, took poison to end
his prolonged torture. Alfred dc Musset
died a victim to the bottle and the cigar

Collard from tobacco and coffee. Gerard de.
Norval, after oscillating between plenty and

softening of the brain or spinal marrow, OF.
swelling of the heart. All moved down in
the prime of life, and in the meridian of their,
intellect and fame.
Eugene Sues name is added to the fatal
list. Coffee and women were his ruin. He
died away from his friends, away from his
family, away from the home he had adorned
with elaborate care, al exile in a foreign
land. Who would have predicted such an
end to Eugene Sue in 1871, when he was the
iavorite of Paris rolf in wealth, courted
by everyone, dandy of the most aristocratic,
pretensions ? All, who can read the future {?

ANOTHER oUTRAG EOUs ATTEMPT TO INTER

ANOTHER oUTRAG EOUs ATTEMPT TO INTER
FERE WITH THE FREEDOM OF THE ELECTIVE
FRANCHISE !-Disgusting as was the first at
tempt of this kind by the half. civilized hOrdes
of imported Irish voters at the election last
June, at the I'd ward polls, We believe it was
equalled by the sickening scene exhibited
there yesterday. 1t was not SO successfully
carried out, however, though equally well
planned, as there was no chance of "rOlling
them i'm with such ease as the leaders had
anticipated, while three or four Republican
challengers firmly stood at the polls, every Ell
fort was made to remove Them They were
pushed, struck, crowded. and finally, as moth
ing would move them, rush OF about twenty
of the ruffians was made. One gentleman
was pulled down by the hair, struck repeat
IDLY in the face, and escaped finally with his
hat lost. and his coat literally torn off his
back. The Others were more or less NAL
treated. Two or three friends who pu he'd in
to assist them were also struck and driven
back. Fortunately, three or four of the
most violent ruhans have been "spotted,"
and will be brought to justice.
The turbulence and rioting continued until
the polls were closed in proportion as the
mob grew more drunk and ungovernable.-
Voters were insulted and hustled away, tick
cts snatched from their hands, and every spe-
cies of lawlessness and brutality practiced.-
Dozens Of gentlemen Of both parties left the
ground unable to get near the polls which
were in the possession of the desperate horde
of ruffians. A dozen small fights occurred,
and the police, who acted nobly during the
whole scene of riot, were unable to do any
thing Officer Gooding lost his watch and
revolver in the melee, and others were more
or less hurt.
This disgusting, sickening spectacle has
been twice witnessed at these polls. The
Elective Franchise thus becomes farce, and
ruffianism rules the people. 1t is time this
was stopped, when it is as much as ones life
is worth to try to vote, or attempt to chal-
lenge

CATHCART & Co. WHOLESALE DRY GooDs
EsrABLIsHMENT.-We yesterday took a look
through this elegant and we'll arranged house,
which certainly goes ahead of anything in our
city. The whole four floors of the building
are occupied by the extensive stock of goods
which those gentlemen have on hand, and
which is not equalled in variety and extent
by any other establishment north of Chi
cago.
The second, or ground floor is the general
sales room, devoted to the retail trade, and is
the finest one in st. Paul, Here are always
to be seen number Of ladies, "shopping,"
and examining the splendid lot of silks,
prints, barages, shawls, gloves, embroderies,
&C., too endless to mention, which the at
tentive clerks are busy displaying. "Cath
carts" is the Stewards Of St. Paul, in this
respect.
The third floor is devoted. the carpet,
curtain, towcling and hose furnishing depart
ment, AMI is well filed with fine lot of
goods. The fourth story is also filed up
with goods, principally of the same description
The lower or basement floor is devoted to
the wholesale department Country dealers
can here find huge piles of Domcstics, Prints,
Ginghams, Blankets and Cottons, of any de-
scription, in unbroken bales, ready to be
shipped, and which can tie purchased at as
good terms as from Eastern .iobbcrs. Messrs.

NEWS ITEMS.

TIE scene Of the boiler explosion in West
street was throughout yesterday visited by
large numbers OF curious persons, who watch
ed the work Of excavation with much inter-
est, and discussed the cause of the disaster,
and asked all sorts Of questions which nobo-
dy could answer. Mr.. Samuel Anderson,
who was yesterday reported dead, is still
alive, and the engineer is still living, but bad
ly injured, and unable to move in bed No
life has thus been sacrificed by the explosion
except one, that of the woman Kate Du-
game. Michael Walsh, had his leg ampu-
tatcd yesterday at the New York Hospital

a special despatch to the Tribune, from
Washington says: 'Private letters report that
the Mormons are preparing to fight the Gov
errment troops, and first to cut off the pro-
vision trains. The design is to prevent the
marching of the expedition this season. If
this be true, we can only hope they will get
enough Of it. These marautlers have held
their sway too long, and the best service
that government can do the country at large
just now is to extermnate them, root and
branch.
TIE daily expense of feeding the city of
Paris is estimated at 1,26S,5OO francs, Cor
S25S,OO0) or little over franc head, viz:
Bread, 275,00O fr.; vegetables 100000; beef.
2OS,000; veal, 10000; mutton, $1,000; pork,
$4,000; game, 25,5O0; fish, $4,000; sausa-
ges, 5000; pates, 5000 oysters, $500; eggs,
1880; butter 10000; entrements, 10000;
cheese, 1000; fruits, 1900; wine, 25O, goo;
liquors, $4,000; beer, $4,000; water, for
kitchen use included, $500; from which it
would appear that the Parsians are not par
ticularly fond of water, else it is very cheap.
WHEN riot was threatened in Paris for
want of bread Napoleon L. looked out of the
window and replied to it at once, "gild the
dome CT the Invalidcs.' This was an inl-
mense work, employed large body of men,
put money in circulation and the riot was
quellcd. In all times of public scarcity, such
works afford employing Mt to the only men
who make riots in France to end in revolu-
| ton. Hence the progress of building like
the Louvre in modern times exhibits, SAYS
the Philadelphia Ledger, the temporary wis
dom of building palaces instead of digging
graves, but it shows also the inability of a
government to sustain itself without resort
ing TO the most desperate and deplorable of
expenditures as means of averting poverty.
The Iowa City Republican states that
farmers are offering wheat in that city for
forty cents bushel, and cannot find purcha-
sers. The same paper adds: "The same state
of facts is reported of the Muscatine and other
river markets, and indeed we may say of the
markets generally of the State"
The great race between the nightmare
| and clothes-horse came off last week. The
man who entered the mare wasn't wide

DEFAULTER FOR $SS,000.-Mr. Frederick
W. Porter for thirty years past has been the
Corresponding Secretary of the American
Sunday School Union-an association whose
influence extends all over the United States.
Mr.. Porter has always maintained the repn-
tation of being a strictly honorable business
man, and has been entrusted with the funds
Of the society. Over them he has had the
most perfect control-keeping the books and
managing affairs in his own way. 1t now
appears that Mr.. Porter las defrauded tie
institution to the large amount of eighty
eight thousand eight hundred and eighty
three dollars.
The operations must have been carried on
for years past, and with impunity on the
part of Mr.. Porter. Towards him not the
least particle OF suspicion was ever directed,
and the discovery of the affair took the man
ayers Of the Union by surprise. The defal-
cation was done by means of notes and &C.
ceptances signed by Mr.. Porter, but not en-
tered on the books. These notes and accep-
tances were so arranged that had it not been
for the sudden crisis it is probable that they
would never have been discovered-PAIa.
