The Florida Outrage.

Fearful that they would be beaten in
Florida, even over the bayonet and over
tho negro vote, the Radical managers at
Washington caused the negro and car
pet bag Legislature to pass an act vest
ing in themselves the choice of Presi-
Dental Electors, and taking it away
from the people altogether! One of the
electors is negro. There is no language
in which such an act of rascality can
be sufficiently condemned. Only the
most scandalous party would entertain
such an idea for a moment. 1t is rob
berry of the people of their highest and
dearest rights. What would have been
thought if the present Democratic Leg
islature of Ohio had refused to allow
our people to vote for President, and,
| like that in Florida, had chosen the
Electors themsslvesf Such an act would
have led to forcible revolution among
our population.
But this disfrancisement of Florida
by coup detdt upon the part of the so.
called Legislature is worthy of the par
ty which totally DISTINGUISHED Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas by pretended
act of Congress; and which, in Tennes-
see, Missouri and all the old slave
States, rules by the power of the bayo-
net and other acts Of revolutionary vlo-
lence. There is nothing that this party
will not do to retain its Ill gotten and
usurped power. 1t has the desperation
of the old French Jacobin organization
without its honesty or manliness.

Repatriation In Connecticut.

Stirring Soil Around Trees.

The opening or tightening of the soil
around the roots of trees, either IN the
spring or fall for the purpose of lettin z
in warmth, and atfording freer medl-
um for the expansion and development
of the roots, is of great value IN pro-
noting the health and vigor of the tree.
All trees, whether fruit or ornamental ,
young or old, indigenous or exotic, are
vastly benefited by this process. In
old orchards, the soil about the trunks
of the trees, and to q considerable dis
tance from them, in every direction,
should he carefully broken, aad the
upper surface, to the depth of three or
four inches, removed in the spring, ev-
cry four or five years. The eggs of the
curculio and other insects are deposited
in this stratum, and if not removed
or destroyed, will produce in
sects, the ravages of which the
succeeding year will be pro
ductige of far greater loss than the ex-
pense of removing the soil and replac-
utterly hopeless undertaking to attempt
the cultivation of good fruit, when nc
measures are resorted to to obviate the
fatal ravages of this deteStable and in
sidieus foe, and the remedy now sug,
gested is by no means expensive, if we
take into consideration the advantages
otherwise resulting to the trees from
its application.
Any good soil, taken from the open
fields or cultivated lands, may be used
as substitute for compost, and very
small quantity will suffice. Even if nc
fresh matter is applied, would recon-
mend the removal of the surface soil
and would replace it when convenient

Cnuaea Of Sudhen DeaIh

Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from disease of the
heart do really arise from that cause.
Te ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths an experiment has been tried in
Europe, and reported to a scientific
congress at StrasbuTg. Sixty-six cases
of sudden death were made the subject
of a thorough post mortem examina-
ton: in these cases only two were found
who had died from disease of the heart.
Nine ont of sixty-six had died from ap-
oplexy, while there were fortysix cases
Of congestion of the luugs-that is, the
lungs were so full of blood that they
could not work, not having room enough
for a sufficient quantity of air to sup
port life. The causes that produce con-
gestion of the lungs are cold feet, tight
clothing, costive bowels, sitting still
until chilled after being warmed with
labor or a rapid walk, going too sud
denly from a close room into the air,
especially after speaking, and sudden,
depressing news operating on the bloed.
These causes of sudden death being
known, an evidence of them may serve
to lengthen many valuable lives, which
would otherwise be lost under the yer.
dict of heart complaint. That disease
is supposed TO be inevitable and incura-
BILE; hence, many may not take the
pains they would to avoid sudden
death, if they knew it lay in theiI
power.

The Ohio Farmer, of last week, gives
the following account of the slaughter
of sheep in a portion of that State:
The sheep hoeks of Ohio are being
slaughtered at terrible rate. From
all quarters we have the same reports
the farmers are discouraged and disgust
ed with the sheep business, and are
determined to get cut of it in the same
way that the warrior in old times un'
tied a hard knot-by cutting their way
out, in cutting the throats of the sheep,
This is q very direct aud sure way OF
settling the business, IN u way that IL
will stay settled, until the tide shall set
in the other direction, when they VIII
rally back into wool growing as reck'
lessly as they now rush out of 1T, by
cutting the throats of their cows, hoSs,
or whatever else shall stand IN the way
of their next change.
We have the names of four men, In
three townships of the county OF Lo-
rain, who are slaughtering fifteen thou
sand sheep at this time. The sheep are
bought up in whole tlocks-good bad
and iudifferent-at all average price OF
about sixty-fye cents per head. Among
these are fat wethers and good breeding
stock of fair grade Merinos. In conse-
quence of the early and abundant
growth of fall feed since the rains OF
August, sheep are in good condition,
and they are put into the cauldrons all
together, reservipg only the hams of the
best conditioned sheep, to be cured aud
sold for meat. The principal object is
the pelts, which alone pay fair profit
on the whole purchase, leaving what
ever is made from hams and tallow as
a surplus profit.
We learn from our Western ex-
changes. that the slaughter is being
carried on in that direction, much after
the same fashion as in Ohio.
All we have to say i'll the matter is,
if a farmer has flock of good sheep,
which he has carried over until this
time, and now thinks of throwing them
away after this manner-doat you do It !!

A Californian has projected and fin
ished in model what he fondly antici-
pates will prove the great ship of the
age. 1t is to be the same size as the
Great Eastern, except that it will draw
ten feet less of water; but as it is to be
used exclusively as a passenger ship,
the loss of tunnage amounts to nothing
The state-rooms are to be situated amid
ships, where the occupants will not be
so much affected by the rolling of the
craft, and the engines and other ma
chinery are to be placed in an outer
jacket, as it were. Passengers are to be
given bedsteads instead of hunks, and
charged $50 for a passage to Eng
land, to be made in seven days; meals
furnished at two competing restau-
rants" on board.
