The Netc Yorker Journal, a German
paper, published in New York, is not de
csived by the sympathy clamor of the radi-
cal leaders Il declares that, notwishstand
ing the pretended sympathy of the radical
leaders with the Germans in their struggle
for unity, they are the self same fanasical
purisanic men they have always shown them
selves to be. To be sure they are. They
do not care fig for German unity or
German anything else, save German votes
Tney want the Germans to vote the radical
ticket, and then they may 60 for the unihra-
ton of Germany or not as they please
Land grabbing and tariff plundsr are the
real objective points of radicallsm- Had
there been more French than German votes,
the organs would have given out differ
ent tone, and hurrahed for Napoleon.

Ot0e Conntr Horse FnIr.


We are glad to see the enterprise of
Otoe county setting the example OF
holding a Horse Fair. This is another
move In the right direction. DAVID
MARTIN, President of the Otoe Fair
Ground Company publishes the fol-
lowing communication on the subject
in the Nebraska City NelDs:
While our agricultural organiza-
tons are but partially formed, shall
we avoid the mistakes that have dis
tracted them in all the older States
the mingling Of interests that are en-
tirely incongruous. These fetes were
first called cattle shows, where the
production of the stock raiser, the
housewife, the mechanic, the fruit
grower and gardener, were the objects
Of attraction. But these have all had
TO take the dust from the heels of the
racer, as he has steadily forced him
self to the front, and became the great
center Of attraction. The producer,
confident Of the superiority of the
claims Of his productions, has become
sOured and disgusted at being elbowed
and jOstled by these racers, while the
hOrsemen are annoyed and vexed at
the snail's pace Of the farmer, with
his shows of huge piles offlesh without
motion.
The combining of these incongruous
interests in the same exhibitions, we
think is the mistake that has caused
the decline in the interests of these
fairs, and made them a hybrid between
a horse race and an industrial exhibit
ton.
Then is it not best for both that
they be separated Admiration for
the horse is a passion too firmly fixed
in mankind to be reconstructed. And
as speed is the most obvious test of
excellence in the horse, the ambition
to W and drive fast teams is as an
cient as the myth Of Zanthus and
Balus, beside which Dexter and
MOuntai Boy are mere plugs.
In consideration OF the fact that It
is impossible to harmonic these inter-
ests in the same exhibition, the Otoe
Fair Ground Company have deter
mined to hold a purely Horse Fair on
their new course OF the second and
third days of June, 1870. What say
you hOrsemen of this and adjoining
States? Shall we bring together our
racers, u rOadsters, and our drafts
tiers, without the bulls, the pigs, and
the squashes?
The Company have a mile course
unsurpassed West Of Long Island,
one half mile North Of the city limits,
where great pains will be taken to
give satisfaction and make visitors
contented."

Few persons know the value of the
droppings of the hen house. In the
kitchen or flower garden its value is
almost beyond computation. Mix it
about three parts TO one of soil, and
put a hand fall to each hill Of garden
corn, or tomato, or cabbage plant, or
about the same proportion to any
garden plant, and the result will be
wonderful. A decoction Of the drop
pings applied occasionally to pot
plants will make the greatest imagin-
