We publish to-day an abstract of the sec
ond days proceedings of the radical con-
vention in Nashville We might give long
er abstract, for the Nashville papers contain
several columns of the report, but it is so
dashed double dashed, and extra double
dashed off, like Georgia cornfeld laid out
9iiisEows ready for planting; that more of it
might confuse our readers and render, what
we already give almost a perfect blank
These reports demonstrate that the convooa-
ton was among the most disgraceful of any
kind that ever assembled in the State. Its
proceedings were marked by profane and
vulgar declarations that would have caused
those who uttered them to be thrown from
the windows of congregation of horse
thieves and cutthroats. 1t is absolutely hui
initiating to the whole American people
that any political organization in State in
the Union should so outrageously conduct
itself in its representative capacity in pub
lie hall. No term ofopprobrium is too strong
to apply to blackguards who befoul their par
ty and their country as these Tennessee radi-
Gals have just done. But what is the cause
of all this political generalization 1t can
safely: be ascribed to hepolluted political
career on such intolerant radical leaders as
Parson Rrownlow, who with one foot in
putdii anu Inc OtlleT III inc united
States Senate, scarcely knows which way to
tdrn for either spiritual or political salvation
He seems to have endeavored to make the
reign of Satan as complete In Tennessee as
possible, in order that the contrast might not
be so great hereafter. Tennessee must repu-
date such men altogether or live in constant
terror ofpolitical and social Ku Kluxes until
she does. OF course the radical convention
burst up in a row without effecting the nom
ination-the contest being between Sentey,
. the successor of Brownlow, and Stokes, a
radical member ofCongress. Andy johnson
did not come in anywhere Indeed, he seems
TO be nowhere in Tennessee just at this time !;
but i will be among the wsest acts of his
life if Ire manages to steer clear of every such
shameless gang of bummeis' as that which
has just disgraced by their presence the capital
ofthe"state. The radical party in Tennessee,
thus being hopelessly split, why do not the
conservatives rally once more and endeavor
to right the ship Of Satisfy, Y. Herald,

Care Of Boots and Shoes.

Doors and shoes, if taken care of prop
erly, will usually last two or three times
longer than they usually do, and, at the
same time, fit the feet far more SATISFACTORY
ly, and keep them dry and more comfort
able in wet and cold weather. The upper
leather should be kept soft and pliable,
while the soles need to be hard, tough
and imperviOus to water. The first thing
to be done with any pair of new shoes for
farm use, is to set each one on platter or
an old dinner plate, and pour on boiled lin
seed oil, sufficient to fill the vessel to the
upper edge of the soles. Allow the leather
to absorb as much oil as it will for eight
hours. Linseed-cIl should not be applied
to the upper leather, as it will soon become
dry, rendering the leather hard and tough.
But if the soles be saturated with this oil,
it will exclude the dampness, and enlarge
the pegs, so that the sole will never get
loose from the upper leather. Ii the shoes
be sewed, the linseed oil will preserve the
thread from rotting. Now, wet the upper
leather thoroughly when the boots or shoes
are to be put on the feet, so that those
parts which are tight may render a trihe,
and thus adapt the form of the shoe to the
foot far more satisfactorily than when the
upper leather is not wet. Keep them on
the feet until the leather is nearly dry.
Then give the upper leather thorough
greasing with equal parts of lard and tai
low, or with tallow and neat's-foot oil. If
shoes be treated in this manner, and row
of und-headed shoe nails be driven
around the edge of the soles, they will
wear like copper, and always set easy to
the feet. Boots and shoes should be treat
ed as suggested, and worn little several
months before they are to be put to daily
service This is the true way to save your
shoe mOney,-Hedrth and Home.

A Goose Race i'm Chicago.

THE "goosists," Robert Hart, George
Morris, and James Mas, decided the
championship of their respective anserine
steeds in the race ON the Lake Basin yes
terday afternoon, in the presence of about
5000 people The contest was one OF the
most novel and laughable ever witnessed.
The distance was 300 yards-from the foot
of adams street to the pier south. The
"teams" consisted of six geese each. The
birds were harnessed" and attached
to a board, shaped like banjo, in which
a wash-tub was set. A paddle and long
whip were allowed each driver. Shortly
after three o'clock a send-of was effected,
Morris first, Mas second and Hart outside;
MASS off.wheeler turned over and faced
his driver, and was pulled along in that
position. Hart got ahead of his competi-
tors at the start, but Morris soon over
hauled Kim. The latter's team made Tor
the shore, and he had to resort to much
padding to keep them straight Morris
finally reached the goal four feet ahead OF
Hart, Mas being left considerably behind:
The distance was made in Z minutes and
30 seconds. The purse OF 500 was
therefore awarded TO Morris. The sport
was intensely laughable, and many. who
witnessed it shook their sides to aching

Harvesting Buckwheat.

FARMERS sometimes lose considerable
portion of their buckwheat by allowing it
to become too ripe before harvesting
Buckwheat never ripens all its grain at
the same time, as it throws out succession
of blossoms. Sometimes the early bios
SONS are partially blighted andd not pro-
duce much grain, while the late blossoms
are fruitful. Occasionally the results are
reversed-the early blossoms producing
grain, and the late ones being blighted.
In a very favorable season, both the early
and the1ate blossoms produce grain, but it
does not ripen at the same time, so that by
the timo the late grain is ripe great part
of the 4rly win be lost by shedding. Care
should be taken to cut the crop at the
time when the most grain can be secured.
The straw is very succulent, so that il
the crop is cut when the early portion Of
the grain has become brown, and set up
in stocks or bundles in the field with the
butts of the straw on the ground, and the
tops exposed to the sun, the late grain viii
come to maturity in few days. By judi
cious management, in this particular, very
little of the early grain will be lost by
shedding, and the late will be plump ant
well filled. When cut at the right timt
and properly cured, the straw of buck
wheat makes good forage for sheep
When chopped with straw-cutter ant
steamed, it forms pulpy mass which i
eaten with avidity by cattle, sheep or hogs
The addition of little bran, corn meal
or middlings will be great improvement
to the Western Rural.

Going Home, and the End OF the Jour.
ney.

THE passengers on the Saturday night
train of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad for Cincinnati were startled from
their slumbers at an early hour in the
morning by the cry of Mothers dead!"
uttered in an agonizing shrek from the
rear end of the car, by woman who after
ward proved to be daughter of the de-
ceased. The circumstances attending the
death were these: The old lady, who was
quite an invalid, had been taken on board
at the village of jamestown, N. Y, where
she was met by her daughter, her daugh-
ter's husband, a merchant in Cincinnati,
and grand daughter, with whom she pro-
posed TO spend the winter for the benefit
of her health. The old lady, though quite
cheerful, was too feeble TO sit up during
the day, and one of the sections was ar
ranged for her to lounge upon until bed
time, and her children were unwearying
in their attentions, watching her with such
tender. thoughtful care, as to attract the
attention of those about them. In the
evening before they retired, the young
neople sang beautiful hymn in
an undertone, while the old lady
sat looking out dreamily into the
purple twilight with an expression which
seemed to tell of warnings for the spirit
world, which was soon to be her home.
At bedtime she was placed away nicely
in a section all to herself, being
visited from time to time by her daughter.

Selecting Trees.

SELECT low trained, stocky trees, even
if you decide to remove the lower branch
es after they are in place. l have found,
from experience, that such trees are bet
ter rooted, and they will, in nine cases out
of ten, succeed best in the orchard. But,
strange as it may appear, four persons out
of six will choose tall spindling tree in
preference to stocky one, and, therefore,
nurserymen are compelled to train trees to
suit the market, instead of what their ex-
perience and judgment would dictate.
Trees that have been forced too much
in the nursery row, as general thing, do
not succeed as well as trees grown on land
of medium strength. AS case in point,
we imported from France, six years ago,
one thousand Bartletts, two years from
the bud. Everybody who saw them, said
they were, without doubt, the finest lot
they had seen. The second years growth
averaged four feet long, and the young
wood looked as if it might be made into
serviceable walking canes. These trees
were planted on clay soil, well prepared
and in good condition. 1t would have pro-
duced three tons of timothy hay to the
acre, or fifty bushels of shelled corn.
After planting, the trees were cut back
and great care taken of them. In two
years from the time of planting, three
hundred and twenty -four died. The only
solution that l can give, is, that they were
stimulated to such an extent in the
nursery, that when transplanted in an
ordinary soil, the roots did not supply the
amount necessary to keep the top in its
unnatural condition. On close examina-
ton of the young wood, l found it to be
soft and spongy. l have no doubt that
forcing trees with putrescent nianures is
the cause of the numerous cases from
which young trees suffer for two or three
years after being set out. do not mean
to say that you should select stunted trees,
but such as have healthy appearance,
with moderate growth of young wood,
if, on examination, you find it hard to the
extreme end of the branches. You will
often find, on cutting the young wood of
trees that have been forced too rapidly, a
dark brown spot in the centre or heart of
the twig; this is a sure indication of an
unnatural growth, and great care will have
to be given, or many of the trees will not
survive more than one or two years. The
best remedy for this is to cut off at least
two-thirds of the previous years growth,
and mulch the ground for space of three
feet around the body of the trees.-Iedr

Pasturing Meadows.

IT is bad thing for all meadows.to feed
them after moving, except that rare class
where the vegetation is too rank to make
good hay. If field cuts four tons of hay
to the acre, feeding few days might not
harm it. But for ordinary moving land
cutting only half as much, grazing cannot
fail to reduce the next years crop, and to
shorten the period during which the land
can be kept in grass. We noticed this
summer in an old meadow the great diff
ference in the yield of hay inside of an
old stock-yard, and upon the adjoining
land. The circle where the fence had
stood was very distinctly marked by the
ranker growth of grass Outside, there
had been grazing all through the fall. In
side, the fence had protected the grass.
Though the outside had the droppings of
the cattle, yet the yield upon the inside
was at least third more, and there was
no other noticeable cause than the differ
ence in grazing. 1t is true that by pur-
suing this plan there is more old fog upon
ungrazed land, but that is just what the
roots of grasses need for their winter
protection. The ground does not freeze
SO deep, and the grass starts earlier in the
spring and makes larger crop OF hay
