The democrats of California in their
present campaign have met new diff
kilty"-one they stepped into. For the
past two years they have repudiated the
fifteenth amendment. This year they ac-
cepted it and went for the new departure,
whereupon the republicans have turned
this somerset to account, and the democ-

ever confscated such property, and OF
such magnitude, without compensation
to the individual. 1t would be mon

rights, The blacks can be made to have
the same interest in this right as the
whites. The market value of the prop
erty at the outbreak of the war was estl-
mated at S3,000,000,000. The half of
that sum might redress the whites, the
other half would console Ii. e., bribe) the
blacks, and prove far more substan-
tlal blessing, than the imaginary "mule
and 40 acres of land" We have no
idea of pressing this reclamation at the
present time. But it is a shot in our
locker, which we are unwilling to sur
render, and would be ready to use when
ever opportunity presents itself. A
southern conference, either the coming
winter or at some future time, can ar
range the programme, the mode, meas

North sold their slaves aud pocketed

tended was the public good. They must

and though we are all, white and
black, very poor, we are not impatient.
They turned the poor blacks out of

A MAN RUN THROUGH WITH A SWORD.
"A terrible affair occurred in Philadel-
phia at about l o'clock Sunday morn
ing, In which young man named AL
bert Harrison stabbed his father. At
the hour named Mr.. Harrison senior re-
turned to his home slightly intoxicated.
He appeared quarrelsome, and had hard
ly crossed his threshold before it is al
legged, he began abusing his wife, who
was awaiting his return. From words
he proceeded to blows. He struck her
several times. While this was going on
the eldest son of the couple, named Al
bert, aged twenty-one years, felt himself
called upon to interfere in behalf of his
mother. In the course of the trouble
the son became almost frantic, and OBJ.
serving a small on-commissioned Off
GERS sword hanging against the wall of
the apartment, he pulled it down, and in
his rage, without a moments thought,
plunged it in his fathers side. The
man at once fell to the floor in
a fainting condition. Those of the fam.
lily who had not retired were at once
and the sufferer taken to his
room and a physician called in, who pro-
bounced Mr.. Harrison in very critical
condition. When the young man saw
The result of his hasty temper, he rushed
from the house to the Eighth District
Station House, where he stated the facts
IF the ease. He was, of course, at once
locked up, and officers sent to the house
to investigate the matter.

What Il Boy Cam DO.

Two hundred and sixty years ago, a
poor lad of seventeen was seen travel
lug ON foot in the South of England
He carried over his shoulder, ut the
end of Il stick, all the clothing he had
in the world; and had in his pocket an
old purse, with Il few pieces of money
given him by his mother, when, with
Il throbbing, prayerful heart, she took
her leave Of him on the road, a short
distance from their own c;,ttage.
And who was John for that was
his name. He was the son of poor but
honest people, and had six brothers
and five Sistcrs-all of whom had to Ia
Dor hard for Il living. He was Il godly
lad, and at fourteen was disappointed
in getting II place as parish clerk; and,
with his parents consent, set out to get
employment.
AT the city Of Exeter, where he first
went, he met with no success; but as
he looked on the beautiful cathredal,
and in the booksellers windows, a
strong desire sprung in his mind to be-
come a scholar, and ut once he set out
for the university ut Oxford, some two
hundred miles off, walking the whole
way. At night, he sometimes slept in
barns, or on the sheltered side of a
companions. lie lived chiefly on bread
and water, with occasionally Il dr:,light
of milk as Il luxury.
Arrived in the splendid city Of OK
fOrd-hiS clothing nearly worn out and
very dusty, his feet sore, and his spirits
depreSSed-hc knew not what to do.
He heard of Exeter College in Oxford,
and thither he went, and to his great
delight was engaged to carry coal into
the kitchen, to clean pans and kettles,
and that kind OF work.
Here, while securing his pans, he
might often be seen reading Il book
His StudiOuS habits soon attracted the
attention of the authorities, who admit
ted him into the college as Il poor scho-
lar, providing for all his wants. He
studied hard, and was soon at the head
of his class. He rose to great elninence
as Il scholar, was very useful as Il min
lister of Christ, and many years before
his dcatfl-whicil took place when he
was scVcnty-two-hc visited his father
and mother, who were delighted to see
their son not only a great scholar, but !,
piOuS bishop.
Such was the history of Doctor John
PridcauX, who used to say:
eff | had been parish clerk of Uybo-
rough, / should never have been the
bishop of Worcestcr.'
He left many voluminous works a.
fruits of his industry and learning.

How Little Land Will Keep IL Cow.

| On the first day of June last l COM
mcnccd cutting clover for one cow con-
fined in 4 yard enclosed by Il high tight
I board fence, with Il stable attached in
which she has been fed. She had no
feed but freshly cut clover from the first
of June to the fifteenth of October, and
all taken from onc-fourth of an acre of
ground. She has averaged eighteen
quarts of strained milk per day, from
which my wife has made eight pounds
of butter per week, during the four and
half months. The COW is five years
old, and II cross of the Ayrshire and
Durham. She has given more milk,
moro butter, and of Il better quality,
than she has ever done on pasture. On
onc-cighth of an acre l have raised $50
bushels of sugar bcets and carrots, which
with the two tons of hay will keep her
handsomely the balance of the year
me labor of cutting clover for the COW
Is less than the driving her three-fourths
OF Il milc to pasture; beside, he manure
saved is quite an item. In the dairy
districts, the usual estimate is four acres
to the COW, on the hay and pasture sys-
tenn, whereas by soiling and raising
roots hNe-eightS of an acre is found to
be sufficient. l will state ftrther,what
l believe from nearly thirty years OK
perience is, that there is no crop so val
liable for soiling as clover, no crop so
many pounds of which, and of equal
value for milk and butter, can be pro-
duced from an acre of ground Sweet
corn is u good crop for late feeding,
where clover will not grow, but not
profitable for winter feeding.-Er.

Peas and Sweet Potatoes.

PEAS.
Except for improvement of land, it
is better to plant peas by themselves
and not among corn. Run rows same
distance as for cotton and drop Il half
dozen seed in hills IS inches apart-Or
they may be sOwed with Il planter and
afterwards chopped out as cotton. Two
plowings and one hoeing-in some eases
two plowings alonc-will make the
crop. Seed should be put in the ground
this month"; delayed to the LIST of
July plant the speckled or whippoor-
will variety, as it natures early. Old
fields that have grown up in pines and
| been recently cleared make excellent
crops of peas. They may be sown also
on the wheat and fall oat stubblc and
cultivated with very little labor. 1t is
Il much more certain crop than corn on
poor land, and may be largely substi-
tuted for it in feeding stock, even work
horses and mules. We have fed our
| work horses for years on peas without
agrain ofcorn. For this purpose gather
and put away in hull without threshing
out and feed in same conditional
bushel to a bushel and a half to a horse
ut Il feed. Thus fed, we observed no
tendency to produce collie. AS a feed
for milch cows, the pea has no equal
and every farmers wife has Il right to
complain of her good man if he fails to
raise at least an abundant supply for
her cows. The greatest drawback to
this very valuable crop, is the trouble
of gathering. Cannot some inventive
genius come to the rescue, who will
furnish Il machine to pick peas?
a few acres of ground fenced off to
itself, q small part planted in sweet po-
tatoes and the rest in peas and ground
| f,ft anf +,
on the f;trm-with a very small amount
of labor expended-as the hogs could
gather the crops for themselves.
SWEET POTATOES.
Slips may be put out until the Goth of
the month, Cor even later in the eX-
IRENE SOuth,) and if the seasons are
good, still make a fine crop. The chief
reliance, however, must be on those
put out in May. Push them on as rap
idly as possible, by working them often.
| See to it that the vines are not covered
| up-move them out of the way when
necessary, to avoid covering up; for
| wherever buried, they take root and
form tubers, and the strength of the
plant is frittcred away in making a
large number of small, worthless pota-
toes. In the warmer portions of the
South, especially along the coasts where
the land is level and moist, slips may
be put out i'm July, or, as is often done,
| portions of the vines from the first plant
ing may be placed in u trench and COW
cred at intervals, leaving small uncov-
cred patches 4 foot or eighteen inches
apart. If not too dry, vines thus treated
take root and produce very good tubers
these latter keeping better through
the winter than the earlier planted po-
t,tocs. III the hiily regions of the
country, we would recommend Il trial
of this method on light sandy bottoms,
putting out the vines about the last of
June or first of July, and if possible
just before 4 rain.-SOttthey2, ItHtirntO.
