The political prophets and calculators
have commenced the manufacture of
candidates for. President, both for the
Republican and Democratic parties.
Kentucky has no mention on the list,
though some jealous eotemporary insists
on hosting the name of the Hon. Jas.
B. Beck, scotchman by birth, for the
Yice.P Presidency
The rupture between President Grant
and Mr.. Sumner has set all sorts of ru-
mors afoat in regard to who viii be the
Radical nominee. The Grand Army Of
the Republic are attempting to run Gen,
Juo. A. Logan as a candidate. Sumner,
Wilson, and Trumbull are also spoken
Of. Vice President Colfax is considered
very favorably, but the truth IS Grant
holds the inside track, aud win get a
denomination.
On the Democratic side, we have Gen
Hancock, Adams Of Massachusetts,
Hendricks Of Indiana, Pendleton, and
Gen. Frank Blair. The Democracy o.
the South will, and should, support any
man to burst the Radical hold on the
country. Our own judgement is that
Gen Hancock should be the nominee
But Kentucky, the home OF Democracy
should have the second place. Who
shall it be? Never mind, after the May
convention, we can select him from the
long list Of disappoin ted martyred

A Remarkable Man.

The st. Louis Times says: ga some
what remarkable man was the late
Francis Greeley, of Florisant, Missouri.
He was native of that place, and a
resident there for eighty years and nine
months. He served his country in the
war of 1912 as brave soldier, and leaves
one hundred and twenty three children,
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren
to mourn his loss, He was always noted
for his activity, both ofmind and body;
never drank drop OF spirituous liquors
or used tobacco in any form, or played
at cards. He was by occupation farm
er, and to each ofhis ten children, upon
their marriage, he made the substantial
gift of fifty acres of land. It was on
the occasion of a grand daughters we'd
ding, while enjoying the general festivi-
ties and contributing his full share to
the social enjoyment of the hour, that
the good old man was summoned to his
rest. He was dancing at the time, when
he suddenly fell AM died, at once, of
apoplexy, without uttering word.

A Natural Curiosity.

Silver Springs, Florida, is one of the
greatest curiosities in the south. It
bursts forth in the midst of the most
fertile country in the state. 1t bubbles
up in a basin near one hundred feet
deep and about an acre in extent, and
sending from it deep stream sixty to
one hundred feet wide, and extending
six to eight miles to the Ocklawaha
river. In the spring itself fifty boats
may lie at anchor-quite feet. The
spring thus forms natural inlandport
to which large steamers now run reg
ularly from the st. Johns, making
close connections with the ocean steam
ers at Palatka. The clearness of the
water is truly wonderful. It seems even
more transparent than air; you see the
bottom, eighty feet below the bottom
of your boat, the exact form OF the
smallest pebble, the outline and color
of the leaf that has sunk, and all the
prismatic colors of the rainbow are re-
fected. Large fish swim in it, every
scale visible and every movement dis
tinctly seen. If you go over the spring
in boat you will see the assures in the
rocks, from which the river pours up
ward like an inverted cataract.

Poultry in Orchards RS Destroyers OF
insects and Worms.
From an exchange we clip the follow
ing:
The public has to learn yhe full ad-
vantages of keeping poultry. Few
seem to appreciate what they may do
among trees in an orchard of quarter
of an acre, where they may be kept by
q picket fence four or five feet high,
putting in say 125 fowls, and observe
the result. He will avoid the annoy
ance in the garden, of which 50 many
complain, while they will work among
the trees, doing just what is needed;
keeping the ground well cultivated,
and destroying everything that can
iniure the fruit trees, in the shape of
bugs, worms or other insects, lay
large number of eggs, which are cash
article, to say nothing of the chickens,
which will pay for raising at the pres
ent time. 1 have tried it, and know it is
so.
Ihave about 100 fowls, which have
worked admirably among my trees,
keeping the ground in good condition,
keeping off the insects, and promoting
the growth of the orchard. | am salts
fed that we have yet to learn the full
benefit which may be derived from the
proper management of fowls, and it Is
quite possible that the method | have
suggested may offer the best way of
getting your apple orchards into bear
ing condition again.
PROLIFIC FRUIT TREES. "A cores

from his two-acre orchard, 703 barrels
of apples, all choice fruit, and that
these two acres, in eight years, had
yielded him greater net profit than
all the rest of his lis acres besides.
Another man, H. Mead, picked last fall
200 barrels of apples from 10 trees
tree yielding II barrels. Mr.. thinner
man, of the same county, sold $50 bar
rels from 100 trees. Lewis Hoyt has
picked barrels of Ounces from one

picked 80 barrels of Ounces from 20
bushes, and sold them at So q barrel.
