IT seems that good many negroes In
the South have voted the Conservative
ticket ut the late elections. they be-
come accordingly the subjects of un-
bounded eulogy at the hands OF the Con-
servative Press. So far rs they are con-
cerned, these journals sec no sort OF dan
ger to the liberties of the country from
negro suffrage. They protest, with re-
newed emphasis, that they have no
prejudices against the colored people; all
they ask at their hands Is that they shall
vote on the right side. This certainly Is
an encouraging symptom. IT viii un-
doubtedly happen in course Of time that
the colOred vote will be divided,-as
the white vote always has been; ana
then very much OF the prejudices against
colored voting will disappear. The feel
ing that exists on the subject now ut the
South is due quite as much to party
causes as to prejudlces of race.-l Barnes

The above Is the most candid state
ment on the negro question we have yet
seen coming from Democratic source.

and their prejudice against smell, crook

THE Gazette says the object of the bill
introduced in the Ohio Legislature, to
give control of the arms and ammunition
OF the State to two Democratic members
of the Legislature, "was to take the
arms out of the hands Of a secret politi-
cal organization, called the Grand Army
of the Republic" The arms are now in
the keeping of the Governor, who is the
Commander-in-C of the military
forces of the State, and his Adjutant
General. And the Grand Army of the
Republic has nothing to do with them
now and never did have. The truth OF
the matter is that your Copperhead
friends desire to fasten themselves upon
the offices of the State by force when
they are defeated next fall, as they
surely will be, and they want the con-
troll Of these arms for that purpose
Floyd stole the arms for the other Dem
ocratic rebellion, and Kennon, Nichols
q Co. are trying to steal them for the
next one.

1872. A merchant of the city, with
whom he had business relations, had in
sisted upon his going out of town to visit
his country estate, few leagues distant,
beyond range of seacoast hills. During
the night the shock of an earthquake was
felt at this estate and it's vicinity, and it
was thought best to shorten the visit and
return to town, to ascertain if any injury
had befallen it. On reaching the point
where the road crossed the summit of the
hills, an immense cloud of dust overhung
the site of the city, and they fastened to
reach it with all speed. Judge Maurian
felt very anxious, as he had left in the ar
moir of his furnished room sack con-
tanning all the gold he then had at com
mand. On reaching the city, his first
care was to make his way as rapidly as
the many obstacles offered by masses of
stone and timber in most of the streets
would permit. At last he arrived at the
house where his room was and found that
it had been divided into two portions, al
most as neatly as if machinery had been
employed in the operation. Looking up
he was as much surprised as rejoiced to
see the armoir which contained his effects
standing upright near the wall. A ladder
was procured, and climbing it he soon
had his precious bag of doubloons in his
hand.--Neso Orleans PScayat71e. .fj 4.s-

SWindlers in Boston.

THERE are young men. with no legiti-
mate means of support, who hire small
office, and then advertise - desirable
chances of business, or else for man to
fill situation at $16 per week, if he can
give them $500, or so, as security for his
honesty. Many young men from the
country, who are anxious to fill easy and
remunerative situations, are enticed by
such advertisements to the haunts of
these villains, and they pay their $500
readily. AT the end of week or so they
are pronounced incompetent and dis
charged, and are told to get their money
if they can. This is one plan, and another
is to accuse them of stealing money, and
threatening to prosecute them if they
make any disturbance about the money
they paid to their temporary employers.
Another dodge which these sharpers have,
is to open main Office and advertise sit
uations. Young men apply, and each
pays one dollar. They are sent to a
branch Office, where book-keeper, or
something of that kind is wanted, and the
low-lived agent in charge of the branch
Immediately rejects them, seriatina, on the
score of incompetency. He in turn ad-
vertises situations, collects the dollars,
and then sends the victims to the main
office, where the latter innocently sup
pose that the clerks are wanted There
they are of course rejected. The sharpers
are getting rich, as there is no law cover
ing their cases, though am happy to re-
cord the fact that the next Legislature will
be called upon to enact law imposing a
heavy penalty for these offenses. -B0ston

Petroleum OH Test.

THE following useful information is from
T. S. Pease's OIL Circular:
The general and prevailing opinion in
regard to kerosene or refined petroleum
oil is, that it must be of high fire test to
be safe, and to burn well; this is based on
the fact that so many accidents have oc-
CURED from the use of kerosene or petro-
leum which have proved to be of a low
fire test, and below the Government test,
which is considered safe.
We find by experiment that there is a
certain point, above which an increase of
the fire test is detrimental to the burning
qualities of this class of OIL All of these
oils contain more or less of the paraffine
or heavy oil which is not a burning oil,
and the higher the test the less readily it
will volatilize or feed through any of the
ordinary kerosene wicks, and the more it
contains of the heavy OIL This fact fol-
lows with all classes of distilled oils, from
the heavy Canned and Albertine coal oil
through Pennsylvania, and oil distilled
from the heavy Western Virginia oil, no
matter Low highly purified, or at what
point in distillation they are cut off, or
what the color may be, there is point be-
low which it is not safe with the ordinary
Understandable lamp, and . point above

Pasturing New Seeded Fields.

THERE are some cases where it will do
to pasture new seeding. With a good
growing season, when the clover and
grass is up so that some is cut by the
reaper, and there is vigorous growth af-
ter harvest, there is no harm in pasturing
moderately. Then considerable feed may
be had without injuring subsequent crops.
Indeed / have seen new seeded clover in
jured by getting too forward the first fall.
The crop was never so good afterwards.
If the clover had been fed of, there is
little doubt that the crop would have been
heavy the next season. But such cases
are rarely seen. 1t is only when clover
very generally comes into blossom that it
may be injured in this way. Vastly more
is injured by feeding down too close.
In dry seasons, when land is none too
well seeded, and the young clover and
grass has made but small growth at best,
it is losing practice to pasture new seed
ing. The young plants need all Of their
life and vigor to stand the heat and drouth,
and to make sufficient growth while
they need all the growth and strength of
root that can be secured to stand the win
ter and spring, and make good crop
next season. The root will be in proper.

The object Of this article is to call the attention

diseases common in October and November. 1t

How to Grow Chestnuts On the Prairics.

AN Iowa correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer, who has had experience, gives
the following practical directions for
growing this tree: To raise chestnut
grove, should get fresh nuts, pack them
in damp mot wet) sand, and plant late in
fall, or early in spring, four feet apart each
way, two or three nuts in a hill, and cover
with one inch of leaf mould, or light prairie
soil, and cultivate like corn. At one or
two years old, thin out to one in hill.
At four years of age, cultivation may cease;
the trees will by this time shade down the
weeds. In a few years each alternate row
may be removed. And little later, each
alternate tree in the remaining rows.
These will furnish much valuable ma
terial for fences or hop poles. Such
grove of a few acres would be of immense
value. The trees are rapid growers; the
nuts are always in demand at q large price !;
the wood is very durable and in great de-
mand for posts, railroad ties, and rails, and
is coming into fashion with cabinet-makers.
l know of no wood that combines, in so
great degree, strength, lghtness and
durability. Again, when chestnut grove
is cut down, it sprouts vigorously from
the stump, and usually attains height of
thirty feet in four or five wears.
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1868-10-16

much less growth of root-the efforts OF
the plant being directed to secure a proper
proportion of leaves, on which the general
growth of the whole plant so largely de-
ponds. If these leaves are closely fed of
during the fall, little gain in size and
strength is secured. Then the root has
but little hold on the soil, and in freezing
and thawing weather is easily thrown
out. .-i v-..'5, va s.e..ia ..tf 'rss-,f
There is good deal lost in this way.
The small growth affords but little pasture
at the best, while succeeding crops are
seriously injured. Many dollars are thus
lost for every dollars worth of food OBJ
tanned. Few are aware or stop to consider
how much is lost in this way. With a
good seeding, and fine growth after har-
vest, considerable pasture is secured with
out any apparent injury to succeeding
crops. So they expect to feed off all stub
bles, and the next season, if the crop is
light, it is attributed to some other cause,
or there is much wonder and surprise
that it is no better. Frequent cases of this
kind have come under my observation, and
repeated trials have shown that small
growth, when not fed off the first fall
will give much better crop the next
year.-C0r. Country Gentleman. ~ t.l

Earthquake Anecdotes.

CURIOUS, and even funny, things some
times occur in connection with earth
quakes. We can recall, at this moment,
two anecdotes illustrating this fact:
A highly respectable gentleman residing
in Middle Tennessee, in describing the first
great shock which was felt in that quarter
in 1911, said that he was asleep in bed at
the moment, and being aroused by the
shaking of the house and furniture, he in
stinctively rushed into the open air; there
the earth was trembling under his feet,
and the trees swaying to and fro, as if they
had each of them a fit of shaking ague.
His first feeling was one of dreadful fright
and nausea, but almost instantly the
thought came into his mind that the cad
of the world had come, and his feeling
changed to one Of pride and satisfaction
that he should be among those who were
to behold the "wreck of matter and the
crash of worlds" In the house was a
guest who was merry, rollicking fellow,
very fluent in speech, and rather given to
jesting on serious things. He, too, had
rushed out from the house, and was to be
seen running wildly about in single and
rather brief garment, and, frightened into
seriousness, was trying to pray, but being
Impractical in that line, could only utter
the rhyming nursery prayer
a Now lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep
The recollections of that night of horror
were never afterward an agreeable subject
of conversation when he was present, par
ticularly when his style of prayer was al
luded to.
Another anecdote we had from the lips
of that eStimable gentleman. the late
Judge Maurian, of this city. He hap
pened to be at Caracas at the time it was
visited with the. destructive earthquake in

which its burning qualities are seriously
injured. The point to arrive at, is that
which contains the least amount of par
affine that will consume with the other oil,
and not wax, rosin, or burn on the wick
or tube
The color of the flame is also a guide or
test lower the fire test, white will be the
light, and the light commences to shade to
a yellow red till it reaches point where
the oil is so heavy with paraf11ne, or heavy
Oil, that the light or flame is dark, poor
and inferior. This important point, after
careful tests and observations, we have es
tablished as IA deg above the Government
test, and "a deg. above what is considered
safe merchantable oil, and beteen ITO deg
