CARTS vs. WAGONS. seems strange
that so few carts should be used by
farmers in this country. They are
much more conveniently geared up,
more easily worked in crampcd places,
are unloaded with less trouble, and are,
in all respects, for the jobbing work OF
the farm, more economical and conven.
lent than wagons. Provided with q
good set OF top boards and hay-rack,
they ought to become in this country,
az they have in England, the principle
vehicle for use upon the farm, although
wagons are better for journeys on the
road.

The word Proxy seems to be pro-

With them the word proc means the

to the people. BY a law Of the colony
of Providence Plantations, passed in
the year l647 the Genera! Assembly
was appointed to be holden annually,
"if wind and weather hindered not, at
which the general officers of the colony
were to be chosen" This clause made
it convenient for many to stay at home,
especially as they could send their
votes for the officers by others, and
this was called voting by prory.

To PLANT PorAroEs EAsLr-They
should be sprouted in thin layers, in
boxes or crates, and should be exposed
to daylight, in order that the sprouts
ma, be green and tough. Sprinkling
milk " arm water on them three times
a week, improves their growth. They
should be started first in a dark room,
placed in thin layers as recommended.
When the sprouts are one inch Ion.
they are ready TO expose to daylight.
At planting time carry them care uily
into the garden, in the boxes or crates
in which they have been sprcuted,-
Just before they peep through the
earth, they should be covered with
straw or long manure.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has made
discovery. 1t is a remarkable discovery
A discovery to which it has claim OF
sole ownership. General Hayes was not
elected. but Mr.. Pendleton was. Listen
to the way of it:
1t is our decided impression that Hayes
was reelected, not by the voters
during the day, but by some slight-of-
hand performances with the ballots al
ter the polls closed, under the direction
and inspiration of the Republican man
ayers. 1t was universally conceded that
Mr.. Pendleton was elected when the re-
turns began to come in, and it was then
in fact, the real labor for Hayes was
commenced. 1t was very easy In the
Western Reserve strongholds, where no
Democratic Judges or Clerks were pres
ent, or any Democratic outsiders by to
witness the counting, to make such sub
stitutions of ballots and give such re-
turns as was necessary to effect their
purpose. The telegraph during the night
through prearranged signals, could in
form the faithful of what was wanted,
and the draft could then be honored =
There is now a widespread impression
throughout the state that Mr.. Pendleton
was fairly elected, but was cheated out
of it by outrageous rascality."
There is an old proved that "The wo-
man who had been in the oven herself
knew where to look for her daughter"
The Enquirer people know so well how
to arrange matters so as to make a ma
jority to suit circumstances. that suspic-
ions arice that they have "been there"

fore suppose him a fool. We make the

TOBACCO.


The following interesting statistical
article upon the production of tobacco
in this country is condensed from the
Richmond (Va.) Wing:
The amount of tobacco raised in the
States and Territories of the Union In
1850 was 1879, ,752, 655 pounds. In 1850 it
reached 434 ,209, ,46l pounds, an increase
of nearly 22U per cent. In 1850 Virginia
raised 56 ,SU3, ,227 pounds, and Kentucky
55, sol 1856 pounds. In, other words, i'll
1850, out of n total product of tobacco OF
less than two hundred million pounds,
in the States and Territories, these two
States produced over one bundled and
twelve millions. OF the amount of
434 ,209 46l pounds produced in AL the
States and Territories, in 1860, Virginia
produced 123, ,y6s s12 pounds, and Ken
lucky 10S,l26,s40 pounds, IN other
words, Virginia and Kentucky RFedge-
ed, in 1860 more than half the tobacco
grown in tlie United States.
Itisa curious fact that more or less
tobacco is raised in every State and Ter
ritOry, except Dakota.
The amount raised in the New En-
gland States, in 1850, was ,4O5, ,92O
pounds i'll 1860, 9,266, ,445 pounds. Con-
nectieut rose from l ,266, ,624 pounds, in

stimulants, and were taken thus in

Ter never have been used, as they are so
liable to abuse. But science and fact
unite in declaring them to be nutritious
as well as stimulant; hence they will do
new good to the system of every day,
to the end of life, just as bread fruits do;
hence we never get tired of either. But
the use of bread and fruits is daily abus-
ed by multitudes, and dyspepsia and
cholera morbus result; yet, we ought
not to forego their employment on that
account, nor should we forego the use of
tea and coffee because their inordinate
use gives neuralgies and other ailments.
But the habitual use of tea and coffee
at the last and first meals of the day,
has another high advantage-is prOduc-
tive of incalculable good in the way of
averting evils.
We will drink at our meals, and If we
do not drink these we will drink what
is worse-cold water, milk, or alcoholic
mixtures. The regular use of these last
will lead the young to drunkenness; the
considerable employment of simple milk
at meals, by sedentary people-by all,
except the robust--will either consti-
pata or render hiliOu while cold water
largely used, that is, to the extent of
glass or two at meal, especially in cold
weather, attracts to itself so much of the
heat of the system, in raising said water
to the temperature of the body-about
one hundred degrees-that the process
of digestion is arrested; in the mean
while giving rise to deathly sickness of
stomach, to twisting pains, to vomit-
ings, purgings, and even to cramps, to
fearful contortions, and sudden death
which things would have been averted
had even the same amount of liquid, in
the shape of simple hot water been used.
But any one knowing these things, and
being prejudiced against the use of tea
and coffee, would subject himself to be
most unpleasantly s.ared at, and ques-
toned if not ridiculed, were he to ask
for a cup or a glass of hot water. But as
tea and oofFe are now universal bever-
ages, are on every table, and everybody
is expected to take one or the other as
matter of course, they are unwittlngly
the means of safety and of life to multi
tudes. They save life, where glass of
cold water would have destroyed 1T. so

The South.

A letter from Macon, Ga, says: "The
evidences of returning prosperity in th e
South, are specially noteworthy. AL
though the cotton crop is much less than
the planters expected to gather, and the
price is much smaller than they hoped
to receive; yet the country generally is
prosperous. During the past week a
large proportion ofthe notes of the plant
ers in this part of the State to their mer-
chants and factors fall due, and not one
has been protested. Every one was paid
in full at maturity. The laborers are
contented, and Notwithstanding the re-
cent labor convention, are contracting
largely to work away their year with
the same employers. The laborers who
made these rc-arrangements were well
and fairly treated, and were literally
compensated. The country is perfectly
tranquil. There are remarkably few
cases of crime, and none of an aggrava-
ted edcharacter. Politics are neither spoken
or thought of. The fair, the price of
cotton, fertilizing and the next crop, are
the all engrossing subjects for thought
and discussion"
