THE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED will be
reccollected that last fall, Mr. Robert
Stone, of Fulton, made a trial Of the Glow
Reaper, manufactured by II. L. Smith &
Co, of this place, and cut in one day, with
a single span Of horses, 30 acres and 81
rods of wheat. After the accomplishment
Of heFfeat, Mr.. S. offered to wager any sum
from $4,000 to $4,000 that he could cut
forty acres in day A few days since he
received from man in Denver that his
challenge was accepted on the $4,000 basis
and the money put up, with the provision
that in addition to the wager if Mr.. S, lost
be should pay 5000 for every acre below
40 which was not cut, and should receive
$500 for every acre over 40 which was cut.
Mr.. Stone has accepted the challenge, put
up the money, and sent certificate of de
posite to the Denver man. This will be q
remarkable trial, and the result will be
looked for with interest-Jane8g5lJe Ga

A VERY EolY Hermit.

A letter from Egypt to the Citizen des
cribing a voyage up the Nile, contains the
item: ..
The next day we went ashore to see q
hermit on the bank, who has sat there, per
fectly nude, for fifty years. He never
washes or smokes, or leaves his position.
Let them believe it who will but his limbs
were altogether too supple to confirm the
Arabs story. OF course, he is Id,and fat,
and dirty. His thick, gray hair was mat
ted and sunburnt. He sat curled up like
a bear, near a smouldering fire, with lit
tie kitten by his side, receiving the adj
miring homage OF our poor Ignorant boat
men, who consider him very holy man.
They say he has power by simply lifting
his hand to prevent boats from passing up
or down the river until passengers have
come on shore to pay him reverence.
CrocodiIes go up and play with him, and
the Nile knows him and never overfows
him. But the truth must be told that he
was clever enough to choose for himself a
seat on high bank quite above its mum

Gen. Grants Aoosptanos.

ttg 't From The New York Tribune
Gen. Grants letter accepting the nomi-
nation is the first public distinct utter
ance Of political sentiments and opinions
which he has made since he acquired a
a national position He had previously
stood identified with the Republican par
ty only by his military career and, his
official acts. His letter is eminently ju-
dicious, cautious, pertinent, pointed, com.
prehensiye, and satisfactory. Some of ou1
contemporaries are disposed to construe the
celebrations to peace" which are only
reiterations it contains, as indicating an
applied rebuke to the advocates of i'm
peachment They infer therefrom thai
Gen. Grant would have political peace
and quiet at the cost Of submission to the
usurpations Of misguided and passionate
President To ,est the accuracy Of such
views it IS only necessary to reflect that
the Resolutions OF the Convention declare
that johnson was justly convicted of high
crimes and misdemeanors by the votes OF
IS Senators, and that Gen. Grant not only
indOrses the resolutions but colnmends
them for their wisdom and moderation
Gen. Grant also promises to administer
all the laws with the view of giving
peace, quiet and protection everywhere
This seems to imply that in those sections
where State Governments may fail in Sc
curing protection to the weak, Gen, Grant
will see that the shield Of the national
strength is thrown over them. The ex
perience Of past administrations proves
the wisdom Of his reservation of the right
to go forward with the people in adopting
new policies as new emergencies arise
In view Of such contingencies his pledge
returns to the simple promise to respect
the viii of the people. Mr.. Colfaxs views
on every political issue were already SC
well known to all that no letter Of &C
ceptance could make them more explicitly

STAY ON THE FARM-The cities and
villages are already overcrowded, and ev-
cry kind Of business Ianguishos more than
the cultivation Of the earth. In the cities
the labor market is overstocked, and one
can get any desired number of hands for
any conceivable job Clerks from the
country have usually to serve two or three
years before they can get living wages.
The city throngs with unemployed men
and women, waiting for something to turn
up Those who find employment have no
security for permanence. Mechanics lose
their places, and have to lie idle for weeks
and months together. All the products of
skill and labor are relatively cheaper than
provisions and breadstutfs ry
The great material want of the nation
is cheaper meats grain and vegetables.
We have merchants, mechanics, and mid
dlemen enough, but far too few farmers.
The best cultivated State abounds in I'M
cultivated lands. Even in the vicinity of
our large towns and cities, cheap lands
abound, and splendid chances for enter
prising young men to win homes and for
tune. Once settled upon his own acres,
the farmer has constant, profitable occupa-
ton before him. Nowhere is unskilled
labor 50 sure Of sustenance, nowhere will
intelligent industry so surely win happy
home and competence. Inthe country one
never need to lack labor, and labor brings
there the necessaries and comforts Of life

PLoUGHING UP RAW Sou4.-We some
times hear farmers remark that plouchinp
deep they get less grain that bringing
up the new m6J1olo soil their crops suffer
1t would bevery strange if this were not
the case; for the oil, even were ii ever so
mellow, is rae, just like manure when it
is "green" or dong" It is not yet con
verified or changed into plant food 1t
needs just what the long manure needs
to be changed by the heat and the air
that is, decomposed or rotted.
Where the top soil is less fertile than it
used to be when the land was at first
titled, you may rest assured that this un-
der soils always better than the upper soil
because the upper has deteriorated while
the under has not-rather improved.
1t is, therefore, inadvisable, nay suicidal
in some soils, to turn up deeply the I'M
derground in the spring or in the fall at
sowing time The cold, cheorles5 ground
will not help the grain, and wore it not
for the other soil mixed with ii, on almost
total failure would be the result
But turn it up in the fall, and let the
frost and the elements take Hold Of it,and
you have another soil it is turned into
manure d good part oft. A little lime
mixed with it, scattered and narrowed in,
or manure, or both, would facilitate the
process. In the spring SOW, either with
or without ploughing, and you will. find
no more occasion to complain We have
great fertility to draw upon from below !
but 1T requires managing. T. G.
