OF gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and
perpetual summer
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which

How to Keep Canary-Birds,

MANY persons have difficulty in keeping
their canary birds in good health. One
who is experienced in their care says {:
Place the cage so that no draft of air can
strike the bird; give nothing to healthy
birds but canary and rape-seed, mixed
with water, cuttlefish bone, and gravel on
the floor of the cage; also, a little water
for bathing; the room should not be over
heated when moulting Shedding feathers)
avoid drafts of air; give plenty of rape
seed, slightly moistened; a little hard
boiled egg and cracker grated fine is ex.
cellent; by observing these simple direc-
tions, birds may be Kept in fine condition
for years. Bad seed kills most of the birds
that die; to which might have been added,
that canary-birds are not only very fond of
but benefited by having often leaf of
cabbage, pieces of apple, or other green
food, which serves to keep down the
tendency to fever and prevent constipa
ton. Our birds usually bathe each day as
regularly as any one washes the face, and
with apparent benefit, too. When birds
are sick, and inclined not to eat well, re-
move all the food for day, and then only
give soaked bread, from which most of the
moisture has been squeezed.

Kidding Young Chickens Of Yermin.

IT is much easier to frerent chickens
from becoming infested with parasites by
sprinkling the setting hen and her nest
with powdered sulphur before the eggs
are Matched, than to get rid of the pests
afterwards. If the chicks are still with
their mother, apply kerosene In moderate
quantities to the feathers of her whole
body near the skin, particularly to the
wings and other parts that come in con-
tact with the chickens. Then go through
the same operation with each chicken
separately, paying especial attention to the
head, which is the part the vermin prefer.
If the chickens are quite young, do not
allow the kerosene to touch the skin, if it
can be avoided, but aim at slightly moist
ening the feathers near the roots. If care
is not taken, the skin may be badly in
iured, and chickens have been killed by
OVERRIDING the matter. Blindness will re-
suit if the kerosene touches the eyes of
the birds. One application, if thorough,
will destroy every insect. Another remedy
is to dust sulphur freely upon every por-
tion of the skin of old and young. 1t is
as efficacious as the kerosene, unless they
Immediately ruffle their feathers and shake
it off. To lessen the risk of this, it is best
to apply it at night when they are quiet,
and it will do its work before morning.
1t will not iDjure the chickens in the least,
applied in any quantity.-RedrM and

Anecdotes of Rufus ChOate.

RUFUS CHoATE and Chief Justice Shaw.
of Massachusetts, often INDUCED in wordy
combats, and wit was generally freely ex-
pended by both sides. Choate was once
arguing cause before the Chief Justice
(who was one of the homeiest men ever
elevated to the bench), and, to express his
reverence for the conceded ability of the
judge, said, in yielding to an adverse de-
cision:
"In coming into tie presence of your
honor, experience the same feelings the
Hindoo does when he bows before his
idol. know that you are ugly, but I feel
that you are greatp'
1t is said that Choate had command of
language, and his brain teemed with a
wealth of diction truly marvellous. When
Judge Shaw first heard that there was a
fresh edition of Worcester's dictionary
out, containing $500 new words, he ex-
claimed, "For heavens sake, don't let
ChoaIe get hold of it."
Choate, in an important assault and bat
terry case at sea, had Dick Barton, chief
mate of the clipper-ship Challenge, on the
stand, and badgered him so for about an

GRACE GREENWOOD writes the follow
ing incident to the New York Times: BY
the way, speaking of Yankee meanness,"
| heard, the other day, a story of business
"nearness and hardness, here in WASH
ington, which never knew surpassed in
New England. A few weeks ago an un-
dertaker furnished coffin for, believe,
the head of poor family. A short time
before he had been called upon to supply
a similar sad need for member Of The
same household, and had been duly paid
but on the second melancholy occasion,
feeling some doubt as to the condition OF
the family exchequer, he demanded pay
ment in advance of the funeral, and on
the sum not being forthcoming, lifted the
body from the coffin, laid it down some
where, and bore off the property. Think
of the GOODNESS of the proceeding-of say
ing to deceased citizen, "Td thank you
for that coffin l''-of serving an injectment
on a dead insolvent, resting under a mis-.
taken impression that he had paid the last
debt.

Thrash the Grain EARLY.

IT is always economical to thrash early.
We would advise every farmer, who can
possibly do it, to thrash his wheat, rye, or
oats, as the crop is drawn from the field.
There are many considerations in favor of
doing this. 1st. By reason of the state of
dryness in which it is hauled off the field,
the grain is in better condition for the
throshing machine (or certainly as good)
than at any other time. I'd. Only one
handling is necessary, and this labor is
saved. Sd. At harvest-time grain is al
most always in better demand by millers,
and in the general market often brings a
higher price than at olher times Taking
one year with another, it will be found
that this is the most advantageous time to
market grain. If the farmer holds his
grain for speculation, very well: he has a
right to become a speculator if any one
has; but we hold as general rule, that
so soon as farmer has his produce ready
for market: then is his best time to sell.
The earliest markets are almost invariably
the best. We were once enabled to sell
the whole of our crop of wheat at a high
price, for seed, because we had thrashed in
time and none of our neighbors had
Lastly and most worthy of consideration
is the fact that, by thus early thrashing
and marketing, the destruction by vermin
mice, ,lrats, ,|weevil, etc.-is prevented. We
believe that ten per cent. at least of the
grain put into barns is put utthere-uninten-
tionally of course, but not the less sure
ly-for the benefit of rats and mice. A
granary may be made rat-proof, but barn
cannot, and if it could, would soon be
stocked by the animals carried in from the
field among the sheaves.
If four horses are kept on the farm, one
pair may be hauling while the other is at
the machine. If only single team is kept,
they can be unhitched from the wagon,
put into the machine, and as soon as the
load is thrashed, taken to the field again
for another load. While loading, two ex-
ira hands may be profitably engaged put
ting away the straw or cleaning up and
bagging grain, or storing it in the granary.
If it is impracticable to thrash the grain
as it is drawn, we would stack it close to
the barn, make the top secure for a few
days, and as soon as possible, thrash it out.
Even this mode would tend to save labor,
as well as grain, and on a small or new
farm, where machines are not as yet intro
duced, any plan whereby labor can be
saved is worthy of consideration and
experimentation AgricuIturist.

DR.. R. V. PIERCE, of Buffalo, n. Y, in his
book on Chronic Diseases, says in regard to
his Golden Medical Discovery, with which our
readers are familiar, "from its wonderful
power over consumption of the lungs, had
thought strongly of cailingit my Consump-
tive Cure but from the fact that it is per-
feet specific for the sore throat and hoarse-
ness to which ministers and other public
speakers and singers are subject, and also for
bronchitis and all severe coughs, and is an in.
valuable remedy for diseases of the liver, and
also as blood purifyer, decided not to ap-
ply to it name which might mislead aud pre-
vent its use in other diseases for which it is
admirably adapted.
"It will cure cough in one halfthe time
necessary to cure it with any other medicine,
and it does it not by drying it up, but by re-
moving the cause-subduing the irritation
and healing the affected parts"

and the practice of the Republican party
that slavery and its protection and State
sovereignty, the source of all our sorrow
are the traditions and practice of the Dem
ocratic party. They know that fine pro-
fession does not change the force OF con-
viction and long habit, and that new de-
parture of an old sinner is only to fresh
offenses. They know that the most pow
erful and representative organization OF
this party, which, having failed in destroy.
ing the house of our liberties, now pro
poses to protect it, is the Tammany organ
ization in New York; and they naturally
ask whether liberty would be securer, the

The Ohio Republican,

THE proceedings of the Republican
State Convention in the great representa-
tive Republican State of Ohio show that
the party do not cling to issues that are
settled, while it regards the acts and ante
cedents of its adversaries much more than
their professions. The Convention pointed
proudly to the achievements of the present
Republican administration, and was evil
IDENTIFY of opinion that the prospects of
necessary reforms is much more promising
within the Republican organization than
within that which has steadily resisted all
reform, all progress, and which, by adher-
ing tenaciously to the most loathsome of
abuses, plunged the country into war. All
the cardinal Republican principals and the
great measures of Republican policy are
heartily approved in the Ilatform; the
fidelity, honesty and economy of the ad-
ministration are extolled; its action in
regard to reform of the civil service is
expressly praised; the granting of spoils
and subsidies is denounced; the duty of
adjusting the tariff so as to promote the
interests of every section and industry is
declared; and after adopting this admira-
BILE platform unanimously the Convention
nominated for Governor a young Repub
ican who came out of the war upon
crutches.
There was tone of confidence and
pride in the resolutions and in the action
of the Convention, which showed body
of intelligent men conscious of honorable
performance in the past and of most pat
riotic purpose in the future. There was
no apologizing, quibbling, or protesting
the words of men whose acts have been
consistent and honorable explain them
selves And it is impossible to read the
report of the Convention without feeling
that it represented the policy and the
principles which are sincerely and enthu-
siastically approved by the immense ma
jority of intelligent American citizens.
General Noyes, who was nominated for
Governor, is a representative young Re-
publican. He is thirty nine years old, and
his politics are, therefore, those of the true
Republican epoch. He is in sympathy
with the best and most progressive spirit
of the party, and his triumphant election,
of which there is no reasonable doubt,
will show how thoroughly alive and vigor-
GUS are the principles that slew slavery
and made the Union the guarantee of lib
erty.-Hdrper's Weekly.
