THE WORLD ON THE ELECTION.
New YORK, Oct. -.
The World says it is evident that the
vote was generally light, the only marked
difference being in localities where the
new negro vote was brought ont. The
majorities claimed by the Radicals in
Ohio are undoubtedly due TO the appear
ance of this element at the polls for the
first time. While the Democracy hold
their own in Ohio, they have made hand
some COINS of Congressman in Pensyl-
vania and Indiana. From close Congress
sional districts the returns are too light to
indicate with certainty who are elected.
The prob utilities are in favor of Col
Campbell in Scbenck's district and Jewett
in the Seventh district of Ohio. Nothing

a second years trial of these oats.
(Which we obtained from Ramsdell & Co.
in the winter of '6S), has convinced US
that they will improve rather than dete-
riorate in quality. The original seed
got were light, not weighing over 80 lbs
Though the first years trial, by reason of
late and thin sowing, was very unsatisfao-
tory, the crop had gained lbs. in weight
and showed no disposition to "run out"
or change its color like the black Liberian.
which we introduced dozen years ago.
In 1869 we drilled them at the rate of
three pecks per acre but they did not stool
out SO wonderfully as represented, and we
found double that quantity of seed this
year hardly enough. The crop last year
was about 40 bushels from one of seed.
The present season we sowed them along

not indicate much difference in the yield

is gain of 20 bus. per acre, and though
the seed cost the extravagant price Of $8

and in few years more they will com

the farmer is convinced Gas | am) that
they are the best oat in cultivation, and
will soon supercede all others, he will not

A DOG PLAYS BALL.-A New Orleans
judge says we saw bcvy of boys playing
ball with-think of this manifestation Of
progress, yo friends of the national game
"a dog in the capacity of catcher-a
middle-sized ycllowish dog, the offspring
of pointer, but only materially pointer,
the sire having been of less noble origin
catching the ball with an accuracy that
was really astonishing. For half an hour,
during which we watched this novel game
of baseball the dog did not miss the ball
a single time. And more than this, when,
at our request, one of the boys threw the
ball into the grass for distance of about
fifty feet, his canine catcher found it in an
instant and brought it back. The dog is
evidently trained for the national game,
and may yet make his mark as the cham
pion catcher in this city.

TOMATO FIGs.-Among the new articles
capable of being utilized and converted in
to money on the farm, nothing to us looks
more plausible than the making of tomato
figs. The taste for tomato, whether nat
ural or acquired one, is unusually popular.
and there is hardly vegetable which
public demand has required to be cooked
and prepared for present and permanent
use, in such great variety of ways as the
tomato, and which retains SO readily its
peculiar flavor
The time will probable come when large
fields of them will be cultivated expressly
for converting into figs, which we consider
far preferable to common figs. They
retain the tomato taste, keep as well as
the others, and could as we'll be exported
or shipped long distances. Large drying
apparatus must of course be Constructed
for the Wholesale business, and other ar
rangements to correspond but we predict
that those who so first into it win make a
good deal of money
The following in the receipt for making
tomato figs, which We have known tried
with the best results:
Collect lot OF ripe tomatoes about
one inch in diameter, skin and stew them
in the usual manner, when done Law them
on dishes, fattcn them slightly and spread
over them light layer of pulverized white
or best brown sugar; expose them to a
summers sun, or place them in driving
house; when dry as fresh figs, pack in
old fig or small boxes, with sugar between
each layer. lfproperly managed the diff
ference cannot be detected from the yerit-
able article"
Notifications may be made by further
exPerlnce; but the process is very simple
and they could probably be put on the
market and yield good profit at half the
price of Smyrna figs, and are so much bet
ter, that the latter would to great extent
be superseded -Practical Farmer.

Sweet sunshine and soft rain,

Glow in the glorious morning light
Sleep on, and take thy rest
The grave shall not always retain
Thy form; thy gentle breast
With life shall throb and thrill again
That joyous Spring shall come
When Christ shall bid each loved-one rise
And in yon blessed home
Beyond those sweet, blue, bending skies,-
In one eternal Spring
The flower planted meath this sod
Shall bloom, an offering

TnuD PEOPLE 1t is the habit of some
people to laugh at the terror which is ex-
perienced by others at the heavy thunder
crash, or the flashing lightning. This is
both cruel and wicked, since the victim is
no more to blame for it, than for the color
of his eyes and hair,-n fact, like them.
it is often hereditary. Such persons should
be pitied and soothed, and allowed during
these periods to be always near some one
whom they love and confde in. More cs-
pecially is this true of children, some of
whom suffer more than words can tell from
this, as well as other causes of fear
Deal gently with such it is the only way
to eradicate their fears; ridicule and harsh
ness will only confirm them. The child
'afraid of the dark" should never be en-
forced to encounter it unattended and un-
watched. ldiocy has often been the sad
result of contrary treatment. Let parents
and teachers then, be thoughtful in these
regards.

THE AMERICAN
Buttonhole, Overseaming,
SEWING MACHINE.
Has the following advantages over
most all other Sewing Machines
in the market.

1t has tension which prevents cutting of
thread or dropping of stitches
z II has the most powerful construction, which
VIII insure good work for quarter of II century.
. IL seWs the lightest cambric and the usual
shoe leather without any strain whatever.
4 1t has a feed bar which can be lowered or
raised at will, thus adapting it to all kinds of
material.
1t is impossible to get the machine out of Or
der unless by rust dust or taking apart. 1t will
never get out of order by working.
6 1t has the highest attainable speed, making
z,2OO stitches per minute by foot, and 5000 by
steam.
II is the lightcst running shuttle machine
1t makes the most beautiful lock stitch.
1t has the handsomest appearance.
10 1t has the strongest, most convenient hand
somely polished, braced table, with drawer, and
board to prevent soilng the dress
II Its cover is polished, fitting and locked as
little trunk. There is nothing better than this to
preserve the machine.
IL 1t has straight needle.
ID Four bobbins hold spool of cotton.
IA 1t has the best hemmer.
10 1t has the most complete attachment, the
Jack-ot-all-tradcs, hens, fclls, binds, bastes.
tucks, braids and rufles.
l6 1t is as simple as any machine in the mar
ket.
II 1t needs but little time to learn its opera
ton.
Is 1t has the best embroidering attachment
10 1t sews on straight piece while putting
another at the same time without basting, at
tachment or after work.
These advantages combine the best qualities of
a sewing machine for the family who want to
use it steadily in all kinds of work. Nothing
equal can he found in the way of combining the
advantages of all the sewing machines now
known, while obviating all their faults.
