THE Indianapolis Journal says; 1t
has become the common law of p0liti-
cal conventions In Democratic ~ Ken
tucky that all elective offices must be
filed by ex-rebel soldiers. As this
drives from conventions all other as
Dirants. the favored class are led TO
Fl ght among themselves for the sp0TIs.
An unhappy example of jealousy
among brethren Is given IN the editor
ial columns of The Louisville Courier,
which says
'The contest for Commonwealth s
Attorney in the Lexington Circuit is
waxing warmer. The Democratic
Club at Lexington was addressed on
Saturday evening by two of the can
didates, Col. W. G. P. Breckinridge
and Gen. John S. Williams, between
whom we learn some rather unpleas-
ant passages occurred. Both Of the
gentlemen are of und0ubted courage
aud standing, and their being candi~
dates for the same nomination should
not interfere with their amlcable per-
sonal relations.
Breckinridge was one Of Morgan s
guerrillas, who were more famous as
foragers and horses thieves than as
fighters. Williams was a General,
who figured mostly in South Western
Virginia and the eastern borders of
| Kentucky and Tennessee. His forte
was plundering and conscripting the
Unionists Of the mountain regions of
the two last named States. Neither Of
/ the greedy aspirants for the Office OF
Prosecuting Attorney in the LexIng-
ton Circuit distinguished himself very
/ highly in the rebel service, but each
did his best, and according to "the
! -honored principles" of the Dem
oe5atic party, should be provided with
a paying Office.

When is a Man Drunk :!

The loss of a steamship was lately
made the subject of judicial investi-
CATION In Scotland, when the follow
ing passage took place between a wit
ness and counsel: MIR. O'DoWd :
Was the master of the vessel sober ?
Witness I consider not. Mr.. O'Dowd:
What do you mean by that? Witness
I consider that he was a little touched
with drink. Mr.. O'Dowd What do
you mean by being touched with
drink ? Witness It is hard TO say
when a man is drunk. Mr.. O'Dowd :
Was he drunk or sober, or half seas
overP Witness: He was a point and
half off. Mr.. O'DoWd: Was he in a
condition to look after the navigation
Of the ship, or the reverse? Wit
ness The reverse. Another witness
said the captain was not coDlpos m1entis.
Mr.. O'DoWd What do you mean by
that? Witness C0nlpos, a glass ; and
nsent6s. too much, I suppose. ~ Y

BARNYARD MANURE.-At meet
ing of the Farmers Club of Pennsyl-
vania, the following opinion was sus-
tanned In regard to barnyard manure:
That the manure In that portion Of
the yard which is open should be
thrown under shelter before the cattle
are let out to pasture, that they, by
tramping over it, viii pack it sosas to
exclude the air, and thus prevent fire
fanging or burning; that at different
periods during the winter, plaster and
common salt should be soWn over the
yard, especially where there are corn
stalks, in quantities at the option of
the farmer, and that too much cannot
(within the bounds of reason) be ap-
Piled. That not a drop of the liquid
should be allowed to escape from the
yard. which should if possible slope
toward the middle from all directions,
and be there well spilled with absorb
ents to prevent evaporation and keep
it clean. That, suppOsing no increase
of the value of the manure should a.
rise from sheltering it, the increased
ease Ofloading viii more than repay
the cost of throwing under shell
ter.
That fol. general field culture, the
horse manure should be mixed with
the other and not deposited in yard
or corner by itself, becuse this manure
will heat and lose its ammonia more
readily than other kinds Of manure,
and BY mixing it with others this loss
is avoided. That plaster. should be
used in the horse stables In large quan-
.tities, both for the sake Of eIeanness
and economy. That quieklime should
be kept as far as possible from the
manure.

Breokinridge.

A letter received here from an
American citizen at Beirut, Syria, dat
ed January 2, says John @. Breckin-
ridge was there making inquiries in
regard to travelling through Syria
He denied all claim to the privilege of
a citizen Of the United States, and ap-
peared much affected while conversing
upon affairs in this country When
asked if he intended to return he said
he had no wish to become a martyr,
and should not return until he could
do SO ia personal safety, but no other
country could be his home. He said
as the war was over, and the appeal to
the sword had been decided against
those with whom he had been asso-
ciated, he was willing to shoulder his
gun like any other man, in defense of
his country. He, however, spoke of
matters here in the tone of a foreign
er.

Coon HA1fs.-After hams have
bee1 smoked, take them down and
tboroughIy rub the flesh part with
molBsses, then immediately apply
ground or powdered pepper, by sprlnIk-
ling on as much as Wlll stuck 70 the
molasses. Hams treated IN TINS man
ner will keep perfectly sweet for two
or three years. This must be done
before the fly deposits its eggs, and at
ter this is done, nothing will stop then
ravages. The above has been prac-
ticed in. some sections for over twenty
years. No soaking is necessary. One
pint Of molasses and one and half or
two pounds of black pepper are SUN
eient for any ordinary family. Try TINS

SPLITTING RAILs.-AlmOst any
farmer can split rails, but there Is con
siderable science in the work after all.
One man will rive them out with ap-
parent ease, while another will tug
away aad exhaust his strength In few
hours. The reason of this difference
is owing to the weight aud shape Of
tools. and the knowledge Of their use.
One man makes a constant OUTLAY Of
strength, while another viii apply it
only at an essential point, and that IS
when the beetle is descending and near
the wedge.
An experienced rail-splitter tells US
that the best maui is made of knot,
and should be of medium weight. not so
heavy but that man can swing It
with ease. One iron wedge, quite
slim, should be kept and used for star
ting the split; it is not apt to rebound,
and if it should, It may be easily pre-
vented by making few checks with
an axe near together, and starting the
wedge between them, or by rubbing the
wedge in dirt.
It is hard enough to split rails al
the best, and we believe it to be a sIr
for any man to attempt the work with
out proper prerequisites, for he has
no right to exhaust physical powers
and ruin his constitution by using
poor tools, when the best can be OBJ
tanned at a trifing expense Great
advantage is gained, when maxine
rails, BY opening large logs with a
charge Of powder Ohio Farmer.

THE Westiiche POST, Of st. Louis,
Carl Sehurz' s organ, ridicUles the story
that he has been sent to Prussia on a
foreign mission. Ii says that the
Journey Of mr.. Schurz TO Germany IS
Of a mere private nature, his family
being at present sojourning there. But
even for that purpose he had to pat
himself in relation with the PrussiaD
Government, having been one of the
participants in the revolution Of lS49 ;
and as such, aud as the lberatOr OF
Gottfried Kinkel, criminal ly prosecut-
ed. The prosecution had been stayed
for the time during which Carl Sehurz
represented this Government at the
Court of Madrid, but It had never
been entirely abandoned and, there
fore, the services which Mr.. Bancroft,
our Embassador at Berlin, offered
were thankfully accepted.
