How NEGROES VOTED IN CLARK COUNTY, ALABAMA.-We learn the fol- lowing from a most reliable source, and as it shows conclusively how high ly the negroes appreciate the elective franchise, and how much they under-. stand it's value and importance, we publish it. During the recent farce called an election for convention in this State, . number of negroes came in from the surrounding country to Grove Hill, Clark county, for the pur- pose of voting. The Radical eharpers had supplied them all with tickets, and told them exactly how to vote. A waggish individual was sitting short distance from the window at which the votes were deposited, and see- ing Q squad of some twenty negroes passing, he called to them and asked them if they were going to vote. Tbey replied yes. He then asked them to let him see their tickets, when several ham dcd out their ballots, on which were printed the names of the Radical can didates, They had been told, it secms, to vote this ticket, and they would se- cure a mule and forty acres of land. The wag knowing this told them that each one of the ballots were good for the above, i. c, "a mule and forty acres, ? but inquired of them what good they thought that would do them if they were such fools as to give them to that little man in the window, as he would secure them himself. The negroes thinking they smelt rat, stuffed their ballots into their pockets and left, re- marking that no ''sich looking white man as dat ar fellow was going to get deir certifikits," started for home fully satisfied that they were about to be swindled. They told their friends about it, and the consequences was that numbers of them refused to go near the polls for fear they would be swin. dled out of their s'certificates."

~ A BoY's LAwsUIr.-Under a great tree close to village, two boys found walnut.
 "It belongs to ma" said Ignatius, "for l was the first to see it.
 No, it belongs to me-" cried Benard " for was the first to pick it up.'
 And so they began to quarrel in ear nest
 "I will settle the dispute" said an older boy, who had just then come mp.
 He placed himself between the two boys, broke the nut into and said:
 The one piece of shell belongs to him who first saw the nut: the other piece to him who picked it up: but the kernel keep for judging the case"
 And this,' he said, as he sat down and laughed. is the common end of most lawsuits

A ToUGH SToRY.-A Western paper tells the following tough story. If true, it is the most remarkable on re- cord:
 An accident of a remarkable nature occurred in the woods ofa neighbor- ing county last week, by which man was thrown eighty feet in the air. He was standing on balance tree lying across large log, to see another tree cut down, when the tree in its falling course struck the other end of the tree on which he was standing, and the tre- mendous weight of it coming on the spring lever, threw him like hot shot into the air
 The remarkable part of the story re- mains to be told. When at the highest elevation the man caught hold of the top of tree about fifteen feet from the trunk, and remained suspended by the arms until the person that felled the tree travelled distance of five miles and re- turned with help and ladder before he could be released from his perilohs po- s!tion. He was found in the same po- sition as when left, evidently in good spirits, for he was whistling Yankee Doodle," and making a strong fight with his feet against delegation of wasps that were endeavored to build a nest in the seat of his pants. He said upon reaching the ground, he had had healthy time" with the varmints' and attributed his powers of endur. ance wholly to the hotly contested can. vass he had with the ''critters" by theil persistent fire in the rear," and the tremendous excitement incident there, Ito.
 If that man ever gets into office Inc will be provided for, for the rest of hi' natural life. He will know how te I shang on to it."

Presidential Candidates----Genera
 Grant,

uldubs
 The current of Republican journal ism at least, if not the drift of party sentiment, is since the late elections, setting in strongly in favor of General Grant, that the leading Radical organ attempts to breast it in double-lcad- cd leader, which sets out by turning pretensions like Grants into ridicule, and winds up with predicting, that if any man of his typo of politics is elect ed, it will be by the Democrats. The Tribune thus advertises that in addi- tion to other causes of disintegration and embarrassment, the Republican party will be at loggerheads in the se- lection of its standard bearer.
 The party stands between the horns of this sharp dilemma with Radical candidate on negro-suffrage platform they are certain to be whipped; while if the party makes pretense of mod eration and runs Gen. Grant the Rad- icals will bring out a separate candi- date.
 It concerns General Grant more per- haps than it does anybody else to form correct judgment of the probabilities of his success if he should be made the candidate of the Republican party The reasonable pride ofcharacter which befits man in his position, would nat urally withhold him from running the gauntlet of any acrimonious political canvass, unless he supposed there was more than an even chance for his elcc- ton. But whatever political syren may sing in his ears, the chances ifshe allows himself to be made the candi- date of the Republicans, are ten to one against him. We do not say this from an overwhelming confidence in the fortunes of the Democratic party it is an opinion founded upon irreconcilable differences among the Republicans and the strong vantage ground possessed by the Radicals for running third ticket. If they can get electoral votes cnOuSu to piCScut cituct oA thC oehci candidates from receiving majority, they are quite sure of electing the Pres ident: since in that case, the House of Representative, voting by States. make the choice, and the House on which this duty would devolve is already elected and intensely Radical. General Grant as the candidate of the more modern Republicans, would prevent assertions to the Democrats, and thus, as the Rad icals hope, carry the election into the House, where their victory would be assured in advance.
 Judging from present appearances, there is little doubt that General Grant can have the regular Republican nomi- nation fine will take it. It will be given against noisy, stimulated opposition meant for no other purpose than to lay the foundation for Radical bolt. We have mistaken the character of General Grant if he is not two shrewd and wary to be drawn into such a trap, and to allow himself to be made stalking horse to aid the election of a Radical President. The ways sofpoliticians are crooked and slippery, and it behooves | | IL

MANNER OF PLANrNa.--M. COWARD, of
Chester, Nd, a practical A~griculturist, wi 40
has devoted much attention to the grown X
of the cane, and manufacture OF Sorg' no
Syrup, gives his plan of planting and cul IT,
waiting as follows:
Select, if you have It, a sandy soil WI it'll
southern exposure. In general, good co rn
land makes good cane land-sod Is pref, r.
red. Plow deep, as early as the ground Is
In order. At middle of May pulver ize
thoroughly plant In drills north and sou th,
4 feet apart. Time may be gained by seal d.
ing and soaking the seed until sprouts a p
pear; cover lightly thin out 8 to IL inches
in a row when Is or "a inches high cut o ut
the suckers; cultivate as corn, allowing no
weeds to grow.
Two quarts of prime seed will plant an
acre, which on good ground, may yield 200
gallons of Syrup aud t%hirty-fve bushels Of
seed. Cut when heads are cleverly turned
brown.
Uses OF SoR0HUM.-Your remarks in fla
vOr of beets for sugar making, because the
refuse feeds cattle and makes manure, will
apply as well to the Chinese cane, its top
and luxurious leaves are more eagerly de-
.vuured by mich cows than beets, even be-
fore their juices are pressed and the leaves
of beets contain but little dry matter then
the bergass from the pressed cam may be
used In the compost heap or as bedding for
cattle. Beets require as strong a soil for a
maximum yield as sorgho, although the
latter may exhaust the soil more, but as
its cereal crop is small II can not destroy
manure like Indian crops.
How TO PURIFY RANCID LARD.-A cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman a {:
l ad some fifty lbs. rancid lard, which was
valL'eless as It was. Knowing the antesep-
tic o~ttality Of the chloride of soda, / pro-
cured three ounces. which was poured into
about a pailful of soft water, and when hot
the lard added. After boiling It thoroughly
together Cor AZ hour or two Il was set aside
to cool. The lard was taken off when
nearly cold, and was consequently boiled
up. The color was restored to an alabaster
white, and the lard was as sweet as a rose.
SAVE YoUR OlL.-Put the wick into the
lamp, and fill the latter about half full with
coarse salt, and then put In about one inch
of oil, and It will be ioundt that a great saving
will be the result. The salt wastes gradually
away during the burning. and must, there
fore, be renewed from time. The light is
purer and more brilliant than without the
salt, and the wick requires no SMILING.
