WaSnburne Nominated.

KS will be seen by a telegram in this
paper, iafwaGladcr {. Washburne has
been re-nominated to represent this
District in Congress. We have used
our feeble efforts for the nomination of
another mainland, as we think, an
ADLER and more available man. We
say acallubie, because it is true that
rotation i'll office, when qualifications
are even equal, tends to strengthen a
party and keep up unaniminity and en-
thuslasm throughout a District more
than any other one thing. Hon. Lu-
ther llanchett we deemed just the man,
above all others, for the post; and had
he been nominated, the vote in the
northern portion of the District, would
have been almost unanimous for him.
But we are admonished, for the second
time, that the residence of q man de-
termlnes his success. If Mr.. IIanchett
had lived in Dane or Rock county, it
would have required no struggle to in
sure his nomination. But such state
of things cannot exist long. at is q
long lane that has no turn" When an
issue is presented sufficiently important
TO call all our voters from the woods
to the polls, our southern neighbors
Will be aStonished at the political inhu-
ence this section holds, and then they
will accord to us a reasonable request
and not until then, or until our can
didates have been esoId' a few more
times, and our voters reprimand the
arrogance of others by staying away
from the polls.
Now, we want the Pmery to give
MIR. w ashburne heavy yote-because
he is man of integrity, possesses
sound practical sense, good business
talents, is watchful of, and faithful to,
the interests Of Freedom, Humanity
and Right. His name appears OH the
record III the House, every time Oh the
right side. lie is diligent, reliable, sin
cere and in earnest Wew want Il unan-
imous vote for Mr.. Washburnc through
out this region, because our claims will
be more promptly acceded hereafter.
If for no other reason let us give him a
rousing vote.

~, Judge Potter was re-nominated
by reclamation, at the Convention held
in Racine on the 3lst ult. We are
right glad of this unaninlity in the LIST
district, which betokens his success in
November If he is defeated, it will
be accomplished b. ballot-box stutfing
or by some other fraud.
The next day, Beriah Brown, after a
long struggle, was nominated by the
Democrats. Beriah is shrewd poll
tian, possesses some ability and good
business talents, but he lacks back
bone. lie won't make a faithful Rep
resentive, even if he could be elected.

STEVENS PoINT-One day last
week, we gladly availed ourself of the
opportunity to visit, for the first time,
this sister city. The town is much
plcasanter located, and covers larger
area of ground, than we had anticipa-
ted. 1t contains three principal Gin
stitutionS;" the Government Land Of
flee, the Piaaery Printing Office, and
the City Hotel. If ever man was
''cut OUT for a particular vocation,
VIM. Avery was made for q landlord
We staid with him one day aud night,
and found his table supplied With the
choicest viands, and his beds clean and
comfortable. The people Of the Point
will make mistake if they do not fur
niSh him with better arranged house.
Considerable building is going on at
the Point, but we should Judge it to be
far less in proportion to that OF our own
town. When business revives through
out the country, Stevens Point will,
like all the Pinery towns, shoot ahead
amazingly They have every adyan-
tage over other locations.
In announcing our advent there, the
the Pioaery says:-JACK BRUSpAGE, of
the Wood Co. Reporter, honored our
city with visit yesterday; expressed
himself much surprised at the dimen-
sions and evident prosperity of the
place; gave good account of Grand
Rapids; drank some excellent 'Ehger"
at Farnums; helped a friend to get
"spliced,'' and made himself generally
busy and useful while here.
We didn't suppose that our friend
Swayze would seducc us to imbibe,
and then commit the improperly of
telling it. His success to induce us
to drink glass of ''lager,' illustrates,
in an eminent degree, the influence
we all possess over those with whom
we are thrown in contact To get
equal with this fellow, perhaps an op-
portunity will yet be afforded to lead
him astray in the same manner.
Our anticipated pleasure would have
been complete, had we been enabled to
while away an hour or so with the ven
cradle editor-in-c hief ofthe Pnaery; but
our matrimonial business was too pres
stag to neglect a single performance
on the programme.

Telegraph Celebration in New York

New York, September 1.-The day
continued fine throughout, and the eel
ebration came off according to the pro-
gramme with less confusion than might
have been reasonable anticipated from
the extent of the preparations and the
vast concourse Of people assembled to
witness the show.
The procession was very long and
surpassed in effectiveness anything of
the kind ever got up here. The mill
tary especially made very brilliant
display, and the several regiments
which formed the line were greeted
with cheers from all sides along the
whole line of march.
Other divisions of the procession.
that embracing the several trades, were
also greeted with demonstrations of
applause. Most conspicuous among
these was the man bearing the tele-
graph instrument of Prof Hughes, and
that with the Bartholy sewing machine
on which was company of females at
work. Printers, together with carpen-
tiers, cabinet makers, and many other
trades were appropriately represented.
Cyrus w. Field was received in an
open barouche, and greeted through
out with waving handkerchief and vo-
ciferous cheers. The procession did
not all arrive at the palace until nearly
= o'clock. That building was crowded
to excess. The services were of the
most imposing nature. The music ST.
perb, and the speeches appropriate and
elegant.
The presentation speech to Mr.. Field
was made by Mayor Tieman. 1t was
neat and complimentary, and was re-
sponded to by Mr. f. The Grafton by
David Dudley Field was a mastery
performance, and elected the repeated
applause of the vast audience.
During the ceremonies two odes,
written for the occasion by Mrs. Aun
S. Stephens, were sung by an immense
choir, composed of several of our larg-
est musical associations. After the
services at the palace were over. the
torch-light procession of the New Y ork
Fire Department took place.
1t was magnificent display and
formed a fitting close of the day.
Broadway was blaze of fire from the
the battery to Union Park. All the
public building and a large portion of
the private ones being brilliantly illum-
mated, many of them displaying mag
nificent devices. Santern's fire works
were displayed in abundance in all the
public thoroughfares.
The municipal display of fireworks
in the park were imposing and witness
ed by an immense concourse of spec
tators. At one o'clock the city was
comparatively quiet, the whole show
having passed off with remarkable free
dom from disturbances or accidents.

Projection OF SEED CoRN-To prerent
the seed from being destroyed By hens. The
pig, with full belly, will never root; the
hen with full crop, will not scratch the
GROUND. Therefore when MY hens are dispo-
sed to scratch, call them up to the barn and
give them as much corn as they will eat, for
which they always sing me merry tune,
and lay whole hat full of eggs.
Topreremt crows from pmllimg corn.-I
scatter corn in the field broadcast, which
they feed upon and leave the seed. If
have too much company in my liberality, |
soak the corn in strichnia and hot water.
Last spring after scattering half bushel of
corn soaked in this way, l picked up forty
two dead crows and how many more went off
feeling kind O sick" am not able to state.
Wire and grub morms are more difficult
customers to deal with-ior any poison used
for their destruction is always absorbed by
the soil, which is a sure protection to them.
| have never found sure remedy for these
pests; aud can only secure my seed by
planting enough for their wants and mine too
and if they get more than their share, l. plant
new hills a few inches from the old ones thus
destroyed, and " thin out" at second hoeing.

! DEMONSTRATING one day with a person
who had witnessed mode of raising onions
in Nantucker, | was induced to try the fol-
lowing experiment, which found TO succeed
| marked out my bed the size | desired it,
and threw out the soil to the depth of eight
or ten inches then filed in with clam
shells, which | then had levelcd, and beat in
to solid bed with heavy maui, then slight

inch deep. In this l planted the seed, and
ever since have found no difficulty in raising
fine onions entirely free from the maggot
The origin of the maggot have spoken of
before in another journal, but for the benefit
of such as are unacquainted Herewith, |
may repeat the substance of what then
said. Almost invariably where a plant
droops, it will be found to contain one or
more maggots. Now by carefully removing
the earth around the plant, will be seen
small insect, which will run from one lump
of dirt 20 another, making great exertions to
secrete itself, which if allowed to do. it will
work its way deep into the soil, but if not
permitted to hide it will fly away. This in
sect unquestionably deposits its eggs in the
envelope Of the stock, just under the surface
Of the ground, and next to the bulb where
it soon starts into life, and eating into the in
terror Of the plant, works its destruction.
This pest will not assail the plants where
the fly cannot penetrate easily into the earth.
