well, Ashtabula county, recently,to hear
speeches from Gen J. A. Garfield and
Ex-Gov. Tod. Garfold's speech was
one of those able and elaborate speech
es which that gentleman has fallen into
the habit of making of late,
Gov Tod spoke briefly in his CONVEX
sational, easy, off-hand style. He said
he had driven forty miles to be present
at the meeting, and to make known the
deep interest he felt in the great strug-
gle going on. Speaking ofSeymour,he
said:
| know him we'll lie was Governor
at the same time was Governor Mr..
Lincoln called for volunteers. | sent
him only thirty thousand, while Sey-
mour sent fifteen thousand. The Pres
ident went round complimenting Sey-
mour, and saying nothing about what l
had done. | took Mr.. Lincoln to task
for this said, how is it you are COM
plimenting Seymour for his fifteen thou
sand men, and neglect to compliment
Morton and me? His answer was per-
fectIy satisfactory. He said, "Why,
Tod, ] never thanked Mrs. Lincoln for
cup of tea in my life" Laughter
and applause. The truth was, Morton
and had done nothing more than was
expected of us, while Seymour had. -
He had never done the like before, and
never did afterwards. 1t was not ne
cessary to keep Major General in Indi
ana, Illinois, and Ohio, to correspond
with the President, as it was in New
York. In those States, the Governors
acted as the Presidents correspondents
and agents. You will remember that
remarkable dispatch of Gen. Dix to
Seymour, saying: beg to let you
know have troops enough to take care,
not only of the rioters, but of you "
And of Gen. Grant, Ohio's noble war
rior, Gov Todd said:
/ still find myself with you. The
Chicago platform is entirely satisfacto-
ry, and you have placed at the head of
the Union party that great and good
man who led our soldiers to victory,

Separation Of the siamese Twins.

After living together three-score years
the Siamese Twins have resolved to sepa-
rate. No closer fraternal Union than that
of Chang and Eng has been known among
men. During long life the sympathies
of the brothers has been so complete that
the frequently employed and extravaganza
measure of affection has been absolutely
realized: one could not live apart from
the other. This singular-or rather plu-
ral-attachment isabout TO be severed and
probably no sundering of family ties was
ever regarded with SO wide spread inter
est as this will be. When persons of diff
ferent sexes desire to be divorced they go
to Chicago: Chang and Eng being of the
same sex, will go to Paris to berelieved of
Companionship of which they are finally
weary. Years ago distinguished English
and French Surgeons who examined the
Siamese Phenomenon differed in opinion
as to the probable result of an operation
destined to make the one twain. The
doubt made the Twins hesitate, until now,
at the age of fifty-nine owing to appre-
hension that disease contracted by one
may be communicated to the other, they
are anxious to get rid of one another.
Chang and Eng married sisters, and each
is the father of nine children. 1t is not
improbable that the attempt to avert pos
sible danger to one may result fatally to
both. The surgical experiment will soon
be made.-BTook.yn Eagle.

Deaoonesaes in Plymouth Church.

The ReUOLution of last week has an arti-
Gle on this subject. We quote: ....
Being introduced to succession of
deacons Of Plymouth Church, = Y
these good deacons went oar as to pro-
pose that at the next church election some
.deaconesses should be duly installed in
Plymouth Church When Mr.. Beecher
came on board from his country seat in
PeekskiH this proposition was made to
him, and we are happy to inform our read
ers that it received hismost hearty approx
al, whereupon several ladies ofthat church
declared themselves ready to accept the
office So it is quite probable that by the
time the world ceases to wonder at the
women ofParaguayin battle array, history
by way Of new sensation, will chronicle
some feminine pillars in Plymouth
Church.

A VERY pretty incident is related of
canary bird by a Georgia paper TIE door
of the birds cage was occasionally left OPP
en- that he might enjoy thefreedom of the
room. One day he happened to light up
on the mantle shelf whereupon was amir
ror. Here was new discovery ofthe most
profound interest He gazed long and
curiously at himself, and came to the con-
clusion he had founda mate Going back
to his cage he selected seed from its box,
and brought it in his bill asan offering to
the stranger In vain the canary exerted
himself to make his new found friend par
take, and becoming weary Of that, tried
another tack Stepping back few inches
from the glass he poured forth his sweet
est melodies pausing now and then for
reply. None came; and moody and dis
gusted he flew back to his cage, hanging
his head in shame and silence for the rest
of the day; and although the door wasre-
peatedly left open, he refused to come out
again.

How theSun, the Moon and the Wind Went
/ out to Dinner.
IN UMBEK Z.


j One day the sun, the moon and the wind
went out to dine with their uncle and
aunt, the thunder and lightning. Their
.mother Zone of the most distant stars you
see far up in the SKYE waited alone for her
I! chlldrens return.
Now both the sun and the wind were
greedy and selfish They enjoyed the
great fete that had been prepared for them
without thought of saving any of it to
take home to their mother--but the gen
tie moon did not forget her. OF every
dainty dish that was brought round, she
placed small portion under one of her
| beautiful long finger nails, that the star
might also have share in the treat.
On their return, their mother, who had
kept watch for them all night long with
her little bright eye, said, "Well, 5clildren,
what have you brought home for me?''
Then the sun (who was the oldest) said,
81 have brought nothing home for you |
Went out to enjoy myself with my friends
not to fetch dinner for my mother p
And the wind said, 'Neither have /
brought anything home for oumcther. You
could hardly expect me to bring col
lection of good things for you when / went
out merely for my own pleasure" But
the moon said, Mother fetch plate, see
what have brought you" And shaking
her hands she showered down such choice
dinner as was never seen before. eaar
Then the star turned to the sun and
spoke thus, Because you went out to
amuse yourself with your friends, and en-
joyed yourself without any thought of
your mother at home--you shall be cursed
Henceforth your rays shall be ever hot
and scorching, and shall burn all that they
touch. And men shall hate you, and COW
er their heads when you appear.hU
(And this is why the sun is so hot to
this day. --..r NIX
Then she turned to the wind and said,
You also forgot your mother in the midst
of your selfish pleasures-hear your doom.
You shall always blow-in hot dry weather,
and shall parch and shrivel living things
And men shall detest and avoid you from
this very time "
{ (And this is why the wind in hot wealth
er is so disagreeable) .sa
But to the moon she said, slaughter,
because you remembered your mother, and
kept for her share in your own enjoy
ment from h enceforth you shall be ever
cool, calm and bright. No noxious glare
shall accompany your pure rays, and man
shall ever call you blessed |
(And that is why the moons light is 30 |

Sow Turnips,

Don't neglect to put in patch of tur-
nips They require little labor and will be
found excellent for the table as we'll az o.
great use for stock, which ought occasion
ally during the fall and winter to have
some laxative food OF the kind The white
and red top strap leaf are the mosr pop
ular Kinds grown. The value of this cro1
is under estimated in this country. The al
nual worth of the turnip crop Great Brittor
and Ireland is estimated at sixty millions
of dollars. There turnips are found on the
table of the epicure, and the table of the
stock breeder. The same is true of most Of
the countries of northern Europe.
This is almost the only crop that, instead
of impoverishing the land, increases its
fertility. For this purpose they are often
planted on unproductive land in England
and the following season it is to produce
excellent crops. ,i3er9o,f,q
The land should be we'll prepared for
this vegetable by blowing deep and thor
oughly pulverizing. Do this when it is toll
erably dry. and be ready to sow when the
soil is in good condition in relation - to
moisture. A pound Of seed, which should
be of the best is sufficient for an acre.
Rows should be made straight, and about
eighteen inches apart 1t is best to sift
on the surface, after the seed is sown,
quantity Of woodashes, or plaster to pre-
vent the ravages of the turnip fly which
would otherwise attack the young plants
as soon as they appear above the ground.
This treatment will also tend to free the
ground from worms, 1t is good plan to
work between the rows with rake as
soon as the plants are up; by so doing you
will get the start of the weeds, and there
by save much labor. When the plants
are well set, thin them out to the distance
OF from eight to ten inches apart in the
row, being careful to transplant to any
plant to any places where the seed did
not come, or where the young plants have
been destroyed. Continue to work be-
tween the rows every few days and the
leaves will soon cover the ground and
prevent the further growth of weeds
A good crop may also be grown by
sowing broadcast on recently turned soil,
or on land that is quite free from weeds.

A writer in i1U the Year Round gives
US an unpleasant notion of Russian nights,
and such long nights as they are during
portion of the year. nj
Many Mugcovite celebrities never think
of going to bed. They do not know how
to go to bed, most of them. An ex-gover-
ner-general of st. Petersburg and minis
ter of state were both discovered between
sheets at one of the late emperor's palaces
in full uniform, with their jack boots and
spurs On, A Russian peasant scarcely
knows what the use Of AIDED means He
rolls himsclfup in his sheepskin anywhere
and everywhere, and sleeps till he is hun
CRY. He has no fixed hours Of rest and is
likely to be asleep at MONDAY as awake at
midnight. A Russian household is never
all asleep or all awake at the same time.
