DOWN on GRANT.

Anna Dickinson, the eloquent, has pour.
cd out few walls Of her wrath on the de,
voted head of General Grant. She don't
believe in the leade l-tolgued General
She thinks he is not sound on the negro
goose, and that the smoke of his cigar
should not be mistaken for the halo OF
popularity. In this she is little more
than half right. Of his unmanly conduct
and gross prevarication in relation to cab
met affairs, gentle Annie says nothing.
Such triAes do not trouble her; but to be
silent on the negro questiOn-that is the
great offence. Hearher;
The Radical party cannot live upon the
memory of its good deeds.
Your works in the past won't save you.
You Radicals shirk the unpopular nee
essity of putting the black race forward.
You want to cover up the negro with
Grant.
Unless you give the Northern negro
the ballot you won't get the support of
the negroes South.
1t is not sufficient that Grant was
soldier. Mcclellan was soldier. Fitz
John Porter was a soldier. 1t is not suf-
fcient to write against any mans name
soldier. BY nominating Grant you show
yourselves towards and poltroons.
Grant is no standard-bearer when prin-
ciples are to be fought for.
You want Grant without a platform for
the sake of expediency and winning the
next election.
I don't want Grant for President.
Speech is silver, silence is golden
Grants silence is leadcn.
He must speak before he gets the nomi-
nation.

New Brunswick OATs.-A correspon-
dent of the Lewisburg West Virginia)
Independent speaks of the New Brunswick
oats as follows:
In your notice of the New Brunswick
oats brought to this county by Captains
Denny and White, you say,5they are said
to yield from fifty to seventy bushels to
the acre. In this you greatly moderated
them. They will yield from eighty to
one hundred bushels to the acre, and
weigh forty-fve pounds to the bushel-one
bushel sown to the acre. The farmers
who have sown these oats pronounce them
the best they ever saw. They cost deliv-
cred in Lewisburg So per bushel.
Would it not be well for our farmers to
try this variety of oats next year, as it is
now too late for this season

sweetwater, Thursday, May 2s, 1893.

The following very pretty lines have
been copied and sent to us for publication
by correspondent. AS 10 name is Civ
en- (and for another little reason) we omit
the writer's PREDATORY remarks;
Suppose the little cowslip
Should hang its golden cup,
And say, I'm such tiny flower
I'd better not grow up;
How many a weary traveller
Would miss its fragrant smell
How many little child would grieye
To lose it from the dell.
Suppose the glistning dew drop
Upon the grass, should say,
What can little dew drop do
I'd better roll away;
The blade on which il rested,
Before the day was done,
Without drop to moisten il,
Would wither in the sun.
Suppose the little breezes,
Upon summers day,
Should think themselves too small to fan
The tray'lcr on his way;
Who would not miss the smallest
And softest ones that blow,
And think they made great mistake
If they were talking SO.
How many deeds of kindness
\ little child may do,
Although it has so little strength
And little wisdom too
1t wants loving heart,
Much more than strength, to prove
How many things child may do
For others by his love.

PoULrRY.-A correspondent of the
Iowa Homestead, having devoted FIVE
years to the business of poultry raising,
arrives at the following conclusions in re-
ference to the Brahma fowl:
|. The knowledge that these fowls are
unequalled as winter layers.
2. That their eggs average richer and
larger than those of any other breed.
3. Their home-like, domestic qualities
qualify them for confinement in small
yards, which with little or no disposition
to roam, make them desirable fowl for
cities or villages.
5. Their superior quality for the table
cannot be denied. Kill and pick one and
you will have something that will do for
meal for fair sized family. One will
weigh as much as two common fowls
and oftentimes more.
5. Their chickens are hardy, easily rails
cd, and grow rapidly, and, last of all, they
are fine, handsome looking fowls, such as
man can take pride in showing to his
friends.

JOSH Billings ON RArs.-Rats origi-
nally cum from Norway, and wish tina
had originally stald thar.
They arc as uncalled for as pain in
the small of the back.
They can be domesticated dredful easy
that is, as far as getting in cupboards and
eating cheese and gnawing pie is concern
ed.
The best way to domesticate them that
| ever saw is to surround them gently
with a steel trap; you can reason with
them then to great advantage.
Rats are migratorious; they immigrate
wherever they have mind to.
Pizen is also good for rats; it softens
their nature.
Cats hate rats, and rats hate cats, and
who don't.
suppose there is between fifty and six
ty millions of rats in America quote
now only entirely from memory-and l
don't suppose there is single necessary
rat in the whole lot. This shows at a
glance how many waste rats there is.
Rats enhance in number faster than shoe
pegs do by machinery. One pair of heal
thy rats is all that any man wants to start
the rat business with, and in ninety days,
without any outlay, he will begin to have
rats to turn off.
Rats, viewed from any platform you
can build, are unspeakedly cussed.
RESPONSIBILITY OF SrEAMBoArs.-A
man who got aboard the Talisman at Pa
