A marker will be found very convenient
in laying off the rows. 1t is made like
heavy wooden rake, with teeth II inches
apart on one side and 8 inches apart on tue
other By dragging this along the prepared
ground, lines for planting are marked.
Seed plants will be needed by those who
do not use glass for starting their plants,
and for plants for later crops. The soil
should be rich and light, Of nature that
will not become compacted or caked. Many
failures with seeds are due to the inability
ofthe delicate plant to force its way through
the heavy, baked soil. Sow here all plants
that are to be transplanted, such as cabbages,
celery, sweet herbs, etc.

Lament Of the Petit Juror.

I'm sitting on the jury, Mary,

On this Spring morning, chill and bright,
As when you were my bride

But they boxed me all the same
The place is somewhat changed, Mary,
Since sat here before
They've lost the drapery DER the bench
And the carpet on the floor
But the lawyers bore me just as much,
And they howl, and whine, and screech-

Which close the wel-worn speech

To where they get lunch
The place where they are famed, Mary,
For making whiskey punch.
But the Sheriff stands between. Mary,
And my steps he would arrest
So I'll lay ME, darling, down to sleep.
With my head upon my breast.

When they had me on the jury list,
And my last excuse was gone.
There was comfort even on your lip,
Though the judge pulled down his brow

Though you cannot hear me now.

sB The Springfield Republican gives up
negro suffrage regretfully. 1t also announces
the Radical intention "to go back" ON the
"colored troops" who fought nobly." SAYS
the Republican,;
Discreditable as the fact may be, it Is pretty
evident that the enfranchisement of the col
ored race IN the Northern States will have to
wait over for more convenient season, The
popular votes in Connecticut and Michigan.
on Monday last indicate beyond doubt that
the rank and file of the Republican party that
party OF moral ideas, are yet so far from being
unanimous In favor Of impartial suffrage. that
the more Immediate interests of reconstruc-
ton might be jeoparded by forcing the issue
at this juncture, and it Is therefore certain
that the party leaders and the party press
generally will only be too ready to ignore or
postpone it.
Two things are suggested by this confes-
sion of Radical perfdy and cowardice from a
Radical sheet. The Radicals cannot afford 10
give mp negro suffrage. They are losing white
voters so fast that Sambo will be soon all tbey
can depend on. Again, in Connecticut, neorc
suffrage, though hid in the meal, was not what
was principally rejected. The Organization
of hell in the South was what voters IN tho,
State explicitly condemned. Besides, Negro
suffrage dropped cmasculates reconstruction

A Change in the Federal Government

II is well understood, says the Cincinnati
the deposition of Joh nson he will make a
sweeping removal Of the Government officers
throughout the coun try, He will, Of course,
appoint his personal and political friends In
this manner the new Administration, whether
it is Pendleton or Grant, Is to DE iorcstalled.
, The new President will not be able to remove
the officers selected by Wade under the Ten
ure-of Office Law, without the copsent of the
Senate, aud that is entirely controlled by
Wadc's Radical partsans. 1t will not con-
sent. This artful procecding-haying the
Presidential appointments given ont the year
before instead Of the year after, the President
is elected-is not satisfactory to some Of the
| friends of General Grant. They look upon
it with feelings far from pleasant. The New
York Times, speaking in their behalf says:
"But In filling these offices by new appoint
ments, it is equally certain that Mr.. Wade will
make his selections exclusively from the
Radical wing of the party. Gen. Grant,
when he comes into office, will thus find all
the places under him filled in advance; and aS
! the Radicals have the majority in the Repub-
| lican party in the Senate, SO As to render
changes in this respect quite out OF the ques-
tion, his patronage and power will be reduced
to the minimum. He will not be able to make
/ even single change when he becomes PrcSi-
| dent, except at the pleasure OF that wing of
| the Republican party which accepted him as
! the candidate only at the last moment and
when they found his nomination to be newt
able So far as controlling the patronage of
the Government is concerned, one year of of
iice for Mr.. Wade viii be quite aS potential As
