Our Fighting Editor.

The John Bull newspaper, a highly praised
weekly, while edited by Theodore Hook,
/ frequently indulged in offensive personalities,
in remarking on the conduct and character ol
public men. A military hero, who would
/ persist in placing himself conspicuously before
! the worlds gaze, received a copious share Of
! what he considered malignant and libelous
abuse in the columns of the said Bull. His
! soldiers spirit resolved on revenge. An ofic-
er and a gentleman could not demean him
self by calling On Q hireling scribbler for hon
eTable satisfaction No, he would horse
whip the miscreant in his own den-the Bull
should be taken by the horns Donniug his
uniform and arming himself with a huge
whip, he called at the Office of the paper, and,
scarcely concealing his agitation, inquired
for the editor. He was invited by the clerk
to take aseat in the inner room He COM
piled, and was kept in waiting, while the
clerk, who recognized the visitor, ran up
stairs and informed the editorial responsibility
es of his name and evident purposes. After
an aggravating delay, which served consider
ably to increase the illtemper of the officer,
the door opened, and a coarse, rough looking
man, over six feet in height, with proper
tionate breadth of shoulders and armed with
a bludgeon, entered the room. Walking up
to the surprised and angry visitor, he said in
a voice Of thunder "Are you the chap as
wants to see tne?'
You? No. I wish to see the editor
Of the paper"
That's me, am the very man"
There must be some mistake"
" Not a morselI Tn the head hitter Of

unity to the officers caput

roared the ruffian, as he again raised his knot
ty argument.
Certainly not-by no means p said the
officer, rapidly cooling down. and dropping
the horse-whip and his wrath at the same
time.
" Very well, then, what are you want

The officer retired, resolved undergo
another goring by the Bull before be again
ventured to encounter the herculean proper
tions Of the fighting editor.
When the clerk informed the occupants of !
the editorial sanctnm Of the visit of the irate
Colonel, neither Hook nor his publisher car
ed to face the horse whip. A welLknown
pngilist, the landlord of tavern in the vicin-
ifv, was sent for; slight preparation fitted
him for The part in which he acquitted him
self with complete success. The story rapid |

Whether Calvin afterwards continued
to ride from Morgan to Lebanon on Sun

It is safe to suppose, however, as this is
the only instance of immortality against
him on the records. Doubtless said
sweetheart was left to pine away in mis-
erable melancholy, as Calvin was too in
dustriously engaged on week days to
spend time for such amusements as spark

Mr.. HUBBARD, Of the Marion Demo
crat, suggests the Eighth of January as
a proper time for the next democratic
State Convention. We entirely agree
with him. In the good old times, that
was THE day-no other was thought Of.
There was, OF course, a long campaign,
and democrats kept hammering away all
the while. With what success ? Just
this: The State was carried for Jackson
in 1928 and 1882; a Democratic Governor
and Legislature were chosen for 1882,
1888. 1884, and 1885. A Democratic
Legislature was elected in 1886. A
Democratic Governor, a majority of the
in Congress, and Demo-
cratic Legislature, in 1888. A Legisla-
ture composed by more than two-thirds
of Democrats in 1889. In 1871, Leg
islature Democratic in both branches
Ditto for 1912, and Governor besides.
Also, United States Senator, which, to
be sure, was the case in 1886 and 1888.
State Printer from 1887 to l845; State
Auditor from. 1889 to 1845, and-and,

canvassed for. We had good luck; of

Keeping Apples for Winter Use.

Ar the last New York State Fair. held at
Utica. Delos Randall had on exhibition Rus
<et apples grown year ago These were
plump, fresh, and Of good flavor; quite as
good as the same kind Of apples are ordinari-
ly on the approach of spring. We inquired
as to the manner of their keeping, and were
Informed that the apples were put up in re-
fuse boxes obtained atthe groceries, and IN
the following manner: A layer of dry saw
dust was sprinkled at the bottom of the box.
and and then layer of apples placed in it so
that they did not touch each other. Upon
these was placed alaver Of saw-dust. and so
until the box was flled. The boxes after
being packed in this way, were placed on the
wall in the cellar up from the ground where
they kept, perfectly retaining their freshness
and favor, until brought ont and exhibited
at the Fair He says that he has kept ap-
pies in this way some months later.
From experiments made with dry sand
placing the apples in the same way he finds
that apples in the same way he finds that saw
dust is much superior too the sand, the latter
he thinks, being to heavy material, and
pressing the apples too much, causing them
to decay more rapidly than with saw-dust.-
Inc aOOVe experiment perhaps, may De sug-
gestive to those desiring to preserve apples
late in the season of next year.
It viii be needless to remark, perhaps,
that no apples will keep late, by any process
of packing, that has been bruised or injured
in picking. Apples should be handled care
fully and the less moving about, after having
been picked, the better. A large part Of the
fruit grown and sold in market, has been so
injured by careless gathering. pouring INTO
barrels and rough handling while being driv-
en- to market that it soon decays under what
ever treatment it may be subjected for the
purpose Of keeping.

Hints to Farmers.

How To HOLD THE PLow-Don't try to
hold it out at arms length. You can't do it.
If you haven't plough of your own get
out an attachment on your neighbor's who

er you can hold it or not.
How to Keep Corn. The best place to
keep corn is a good courthouse, though some
prefer to keep it in the system-in the Juice.
If they don't keep corn they keep corned.
Fences and Fencing. Good fencing Is es-
sential on farm Get a good fencing mas

The Effect of Haying and Sparkling on Sun

A Travellers Experience Of Women.

I HAVE observed among all nations,
that the women ornament themselves
more than the men that wherever found,
they are the sane kind, civil, obliging,
humane, tender beings that they are
ever :nclined. to be gay and cheerful,
hmorous. and modest. They do not hes
itate, like men, to perform hospitable
action; not naughty nor supercilious.
but full Of courtesy and fond of society !;
industrious, economical, ingenious; more
liable in general to err than man, but in
general, alse more virtuous, and perform
ing more good actions than he I never
addressed myselfin the language Of de-
cencv and friendship to awoman, whether
civilized or savage, without receiving a
decent and friendly answer. With a man
it has often been otherwise. In wander
ing over the inhospita bic plains of Den
mark, of honest Sweden, frozen Lapland,
rude and churlish Finland, unprineipled-
Russia, and the widespread regions Of
the wandering Tartar, if hungry, dry,
cold, wet or sick, women have ever been
friendly to me and to add to this virtue,
so worthy of the appelation Of benevo-
Ience. these actions have been performed
in so kind a manner that if thirsty [
drank thesweetest draught, and hungry,
ate the coarsest morsel with double
relish.
