esa-A Republican newspaper in Chicago
suggests that Sheridan be sent down 10
Tennessee to deal with the Ku kluE. a.
:, -,.-l-,rr "
Of Sheridan are much alike, the suggcs,
ten is very natural one.
Should the ku Klux steal upon him
when he was detencelcss, and butcher him
IN cowardly and brutal manner, they
would strike him as he ordered the Pie,
fans to be struck" The Ku KIux have
not yet murdered women, and talcs in
their mothers arms. Sheridan is in ad
vance OF thsm in this respect.
The defence made Icy Sheridan Of the
Wholesale murder Of the Piesans, and the
defence made by the ku klux of their das
tardiy aSsasslnations are very similar, The
licganS were butchered to defend white
men, IN Montana. So says Sheridan and
we must suppose from this, that eight old
men, ana ninety women, and fifty-nine
children, endangered the safety of the
tEousans of hardy and adventurous MO
neers OF that territory.
The ku kl11 are Of the opinion that
numbering few families of loyal" niggers
and OF carpet basgers more degraded than
the 'niggers, tends to the protection of
The hundreds of thousands of white men in
Te npessce.
Sheridan and the ku-klu1 reason alike,
and act alike, and are equally entitled to
admiration.

taking advantage of poor crazy woman.
In this country, if history he worth any
thing to Judge by. the husband weald-haye
rented graveyard and stocked it, and then
brought the. divorce suit afterward. n In
which case the Jury would have brought
him in insane, not his wife.
Insanity certainly is on the increase In
the world, and crime is dying out. There
are no longer any murders-none worth
mentioning. at any rate. Formerly, if you
killed q man, it was possible that you were
insane--but now if you kill q man it is
evidence that you are a lunatic. In these
days, too, if personyof good family and
high social standing steals anything, they
call it., kleptomania, and send him to the
lunatic asylum. gIfa person of high stand
ing squanders his fortune in dissipation
and closes his career with strychnines or a
bullet, Temporary alteration is what was
the matter with hin. And, finally, as be-
fore'noted, the list is capped with "a new
and curious madness in the shape of whole
sale adultery. p. T..
Is not this Insanity plea, becoming rather
common? Is it not<so common that the
reader confidently expects to see it offered
in every criminal case that comes before
the courts? And is it not soscheap,and SO
common, and often SO trivial that, the
reader smiles in derisiori when the newspa-
per mentions it? And is it not curious to
note how very often it wins acquittal for
the prisoner? Lately it doess mot seem
possible for man to so conduct himself,
before killing another man, as not to. be
manifestly insane. If he talks about the
stars, he is insane If he appears nervous
and uneasy an hour before the killing, he
is insane. If he weeps over great grief,
his friends shake their heads and fear that
he is mot right" If, an hour after the
murder, he seems i'll at ease, preoccupied
and excited. he is unquestionab insane. :
Really, what we want now is not laws
against crime, but q law against insanity.
There is were the true evil lies. : y, .. :.
& And the penalty attached should be inn
pfisonment, not hanging Then it might
be worth the trouble and expense of trying
the General Coleses and the General Sick
leses, because juries might lockthem upfor
brief terms, in Difference to. the majesty OF
the law; but it is not likely that any OF US
will ever live to!see the murderer OF sedu-
Ger hanged. Perhaps, if the truth were
confessed, few of us wish to i've that long.
If I seem to be wandered from my sub
ject and thrown into some surplusage, what
do care ? With these evidences of wan
dering mind present to the reader, am to
be debarred from offering the customary
plea o. insanity? MARX TWAIN.

Perfection of Flowing.

! At late meeting of the Ayrshire Far
mers' Club in England, Mr.. Caldwell, one
of the members, gave the following as en-
bracing the points that constituted. model
blowing: ..-...s-sy
p s.Plowipg matches are held for the pur-
pose of encouraging and rewarding by
premiums, those who excel in the art of
turning up the soil in the way best adapt
ed for producing a good crop, and fol most
efectualIy keeping down grass and weeds.
The blowing which practical judges
approve of is that which is
straight, evenly held, well packed, the
grass well put in, the seams between the
burrows close and clean, the seed-bed as
deep as. possible atthe given width of fur
row, the burrows soset that when measured
the face or socket of the furrow will meas
ure about half an inch more than the back
or cutter-cut, the finish neat and marrow,
and the ridge SO plowed that when you
stoop and take an angle view of it every
Efurrow will meet your eye in its proper
order Many ofaayou have heard that
the plane of the furrow should describe
an angle of forty-fve. degrees; but this
is shape of furrow I have never seen,
and so acute an angle is altogether imprac-
ticable. The shape of furrow that good
judges approve of is, I find, about 60 de-
grees IF cut much more acute the plane
will be too thin, the back weak, and the
burrows will want that body and substance
necessary to give the. blowing the required
solidity. Ifcut much more rectangular or
square we lose that depth gof seed-bed and
twine of f1rrow SO much priced in first
class blowing and the nearer we approach
the square, brick-shaped furrow the pillow
gradually loses command, the grass is near
the top, the burrows sit on their edge, and
are generally badly closedand shaky. The
latter is, in my opinion, the worse of the
two extremes. .r q.

Whig) assumed the gubernatorial chair in
Ohio, he issued his proclamation appoint
ing a thanksgiving day. To make sure
of being orthodox, the Governor COM
posed bis proclamation almost exclusively
O akpasssges from the Bible, which he did
not designate as quotations, presuming
that every one would recognize them, and
admire the fitness of the words as well as
his taste in their selection. The procla-
nation meeting the eyes of Democratic
editor, he pounced at once upon it-de-
clared he had read it before-could'nt say
exactly where-but he would take his
oath that it was downright plagiarism
from beginning to end. That would have
been pretty fair joke; but the next day
the Wing editor came out valisntly in de-
tense of the Governor, pronounced the
charge false and hbellous, and challenged
any man living to produce one single line
of the proclamation that ever had ap.
peared in print before. CoI,aabil,
