An Eloquent Appeal.

THE reply of the colored citizens Of
South Carolina TO the insolent Democratic
address which told them they might
choose between voting for Seymour and
Blair and starvation, is one of the most ad.
mirable documents of the campaign. Con
trasted with the speeches of Wade Hamp.
ton, Cobb, Semmes, Toombs and the other
Southern Democratic leaders, with the ar
ticles In the Southern Democratic papers,
and the action of the Georgia Legislature,
il is wisdom beside folly. But, apart from
its excellent temper and its unanswerable
argument, 1t contains vivid picture Of the
proposed Democratic policy toward that
part of the population ofthe United States
for which It speaks. And that every
Northern voter may understand what kind
of peace is to be expected when Mr.. Frank
Blair's policy of overthrowing the South.
ern governments by the sword is carried
out let him remark this extract from the
reply Of which we speak;
"When your Legislature met in 1S65-66

people in the State you by these acts de.

dren, and subjecting us to all manner Of
disabilities. We could not pursue any
trade or calling In this State without a
written permission from some white man
we could not sell any article of barter
without the consent first obtained from
some magistrate"
After declaring that such policy neces-
sarily alienated the sympathy of the new
voters, and that If the Democratic leaders
had accepted in good faith the proposed
reconstruction, they would have polled a
hundred thousand colored voters for
Southern instead of Northern white men
for office, the address pertinently asks,
"Can you ask us to sustain party which
is pledged to divest us of all the privileges
in law which we now enjOyY" And in a
strain which will find the most sincere re-
sponse in every generous and manly
American heart, the address concludes
I" If we are to be massacred because we

Anecdotes of an Eccentric.

FRED ENMoNs was an eccentric wit well
known at Buffalo, Cleveland, and other
lake ports, several years ago, as "steam-
boat runner" He it was who, on being
stopped by robber one dark night, with
a demand for his "money or his life"
cooly responded that he hadn't got any
money, but if he would step under a lamp
post he would write him his note for five
or ten dollars. Poor Fred: 1t was imma-
terial to him whether it was five or ten
dollars for he never paid anything.

Wood fshes % q Tertiliser.

This II one Of the most valuable fertilis-
m within reach of the farmer. The un-
le.ched article has the more potash, but
the leached is thought to be quite as valu-
able. In teaching they shrink good deal,
and lime is usually added, which increases
their value. Ashes are well suited to all
farm crops, and are very beneficial in the
fruit yard and orchard. Most farmers sell
wood in the cities and villages, and rather
than go home empty, they should carry
back ashes and other fertilizers, to replace
the potash, lime and phosphoric acid that
have been carried of in the crops and ami,
mails sold. Ashes show immediate effects
from their application, and at the same
time last long in the soil. They are very
highly appreciated in the onion growing
districts, but may be applied with equal
advantage to ordinary farm crops. They
should be kept near the surface as possible

PAINT IN TIE Tool RooM.-Paint pots
and brushes are among the good invest
ments upon the farm. They are suggest
i've Of carefulness and thrift. The essential
materials in a good paint are linseed oil
and white lead. Coloring matter is cheap,
and not much Of it is needed to give any
desired shade. Not much skill is required
in the mixing, and any farmer can soon
learn to paint his own buildings, tools, We
hicles and fences. Tools last much longer
if their woodwork is kept well painted or
oiled. Linseed oil, we'll boiled, without
the lead, makes an excellent protection for
axe helves, and the handles Of all tools that
are much exposed to the weather. The
painting and oiling Of tools is good wet
weather work, and there arc always leisure
days after the harvests are gathered, when
the fences and farm buildings can be
cleaned up and painted. Cheap paints are
usually poor investments, except as they
may be useful for specific purpose.-Ib.
