SENSIBLE ADVICE.

There is so much good, sound sense in The m
nexed paragraphs from the Athens (Geo.) Batch-
man, that We ore constrained to give them promi-
nent place in our columns. Willie it is almost too
late for any real, substantial good to be accom-
plished in this State, yet We arc satisfied that if
the respectable white vote be not unnecessarily di
yided, the evidence of strength and concert of ac-
tion will be powerful against the vicious and cor
rupt:
ave would again most respectfully advise our
friends to keep cool on the Convention question.
No good can grow out of quarrelng about it, but,
on the contrary, much harm might cnsuc. Let all,
then, strive to keep cool.
GAS we have frequently said before we regard
Convention as aforegonc conclusion. We cannot,
therefore, see any propriey in quarreling about it..
If the sound, conservative and patriotic people of
the State do not take hold of and control it, will
fall into the hands of the Ignorant vicious and
corrupt portion of the population, whose leaders
will frame such Constitution rs no honest white
man can live under. Why, then, quarrel over non
essentials? why split up and divide and waste
our strength in the vain attempt to prevent what
is admitted to be inevitable?
'Instcad of quarrclng about the right of Con-
gress to pass such laws let go forward in reor-
ganizing under them, inasmuch as We cannot ignore
the fact that they possess the pocer, and dnily
welding it against us, while we confcssedly have
no means of resistance.
..Inasmuch as the Convention will be held, let
the people see to it that they arc represented by
sound, reliable men, who will do the best they can,
under the circumstances, to secure to themselves
and their children tho blessings Of good govern
ment
alt will be remembered that the action of the
Convention is not fnal-that the Constitution it
may adopt must be ratified by the people before it
has any vitality. Here, then, is the time and
place to make the fight. If the Constitution the
Convention may adopt shall be considered objcc-
tionable, let the people uote il dO,0n.

What Red Glover Does.

Mr. S. E. Todd, in the course of discus
sion before the New York Institute Club,
referred to the fertilizing power of red clO-
yer as follows:
On the heavy, stubborn soils of the slopes
of our northern lakes, the production of red
clover has been Of incalculable value in re-
novating and changing the character Of those
stubborn soils, so as to render them more
productive from year to year. Under the
ameliorating influences of crop of red
clover, farms that produced scarcely a re-
munerating crop when the virgin soil was
first turned up with the plow, now yield an
nually heavy crops of choice wheat Or other
grain. The distinguishing characteristic of
red clover as renovator of the soil, is to
produce vegetable mould or humus Where
humus abounds in large quantities in the
soil, red clover is not the fertilizer required
But where the surface is not covered by a
stratum of fine mould, red clover can be
raised with eminent satisfaction and profit.
Our most extensive Pennsylvania farmers
understand and appreciate the excellence
and efficiency of red clover Almost our
entire country has got to TenOvate with red
clover Old and impoverished fields will
eventually be made to feel the ameliorating
inaunces of the efficient renoVatOr Of poor
and badly managed soil And this great and
desirable change will be wrought out By the
production of red clover.
