Another Candidate.

Some of the Pennsylvania Democrats
propose Judge Thompson, of that State,
for President and outsiders, with par
donable curiosity, are asking, Who
the deuce is Judge Thompson 2" There
was a time when insignificance was
strong qualification for a Democratic
Presidential candidate, and if nine
tenths of the working members Of the
party were able to swear conscientiously
they had never heard of the man until
he was nominated, his chances of cleo
ton were considered excellent. But
there is less disposition of late years to
drag men from congenial obscurity and
thrust them into Presidential canvass,
and the Thompson party will probably
not extend beyond Judge himself and
dozen friends, more or less. Penn
sylvania has already trotted out one
candidate, Gen. Hancock, who is sup
posed 10 have some elements of strength,
and she may as we'll stick to her first
choice, unless, indeed, her Democracy
can be persuaded to array themselves
under the banners of the Farmer Of
Chappaqua, and follow his ancient white
hat, like the "white plume of Navarro"
When a party is in the majority, there
may be policy in putting in the field
unknown men, of amiable mediocrity,
who have lacked the force of character
necessary to incur positive enmity in
any quarter. Considerations of this
kind, we know, influenced the Demo
Gratis in some Of their nominations,
years ago. If they were satisfied with
the results then, we suppose, no one
should object to the adoption of
like policy under similar conditions
again. But the conditions do not exist.
The party can only hope for future
triumphs through accessions from the
ranks of its opponents. These no Dem
ocrat can secure; for those who are I'M
known and insignificant have nothing
attractive about them, while those who
are known are detested. They must
take a man not identified with the
party, and Of magnetic force enough to
draw from the solid ranks of Republi-
canism. If they will not do that, they
had better disband at once it is fight
ing against fate to continue the conflict.
Between the nomination of Mr.. Greeley
and an arrangement with the under
taker for the final interment of the
party, the Democracy must make their
election now.

Flowing Under the Snow.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
Heman writes:
:" For the third time quite an inter
esting case has come under my observa-
ton, which | think is worth recording.
Every one has heard the old saying that
a late snow is the poor mans manure;
evidently there must be some founda-
ton for it to rest upon, or 1T would not
be so frequently repeated. Last fall,
while blowing for corn, there fell dur
ing the night about three inches OF
snow; the preceding day was clear in
the morning, cloudy and very smoky in
the afternoon the next day when j
began to work had seven pace land
about half done; / ploTed this and
three more lying in the middle OF the
field, turning under the snow. The
land is light, friable clay, one rod as
as good as another, laying alike, pitch
ing slightly TO the east, light sod burned
and no manure used upon it during the
past ID years. The preceding crops
fully because | think all experiments
should be stated. Now the corn on
these three and half beds is at least
one quarter larger than any of the rest;
nearly every hill grew, while the rest
failed more or less the division is so
clearly marked that there can be no
mistake about the cause. Twice before
in my life | had the same experience
with the same result; once with corn
and once with oats. Now why is this ?
We all know how much more quickly
grass starts in the spring after a sap
snow than after a rain. Does the snow
bring down the smoke and gases from
the air, or why does it produce a greater
effect than rain? Snowy countries are
always better grass countries tnan those
where snow seldom falls, and there must
be something in the snow to produce
this effect"

Beet Sugar.

In his essay on beet sugar, contained
in the last report of the President of the
Agricultural College of Massachusetts,,
Prof. Gaessmann gives us valuable
contribution to agricultural chemistry.
Three kinds of sugar are produced on
the farm or plantation. The first of
these is milk sugar, which constitutes
from three TO nine per cent. of milk.
and causes its sweetness. 1t is made
for the most part by the mountaineers
of Switzerland. The second kind is
grape sugar, mainly manufactured from
starch, and which can be produced arti-
ficially. 1t is extensively used for
making alcohol and alcoholic liquors
and syrups, and its consumption is
greatly on the increase. Starch, as is
we'll known, is manufactured out of the
cheaper grains. The third kind is cane
sugar, SO universally used. 1t is made
not only from the sugar cane and sor-
ghum-cane, but from several species of
palms, the sugar maple and the sugar
beet. Of the various sugars, and the
molasses made from them, the people of
the United States annually consume
one hundred million dollars worth.
What sort of soil is necessary for the
production of sugar beets what varie-
ties should be used the planting of the
seed the yield of sugar beets and of
sugar itself how the residue Of the root
can be utilized for feed how the leaves
may be utilized both for feed and for
manure; the influence of sugar-beet
cultivation on the soil and the advan-
tage Of the cultivation of the beet in
the State of Massachusetts,, are set forth
in clear and succinct manner. This
admirable tract illustrates in remark
able way the dependence of the art
of agriculture on the science of chem

Political.

GEN. McCLELLAN's letter to the Tam.
many mass meeting, the Rochester
Democrat thinks, was by far the shrewd-
est bid yet put forth by Presidential as
pirants for the support of the Democ-
racy.
Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM said, in a letter
shortly before his death, that he pur-
posed writing an article for the GALAXY
upon the question left unanswered by
Messrs. Wilson and Black-How Stan.
ton came to be appointed Secretary of
War. with this singular history he
said, " | am familiar, and was unwilling
ly an actor in it,"
The Petersburg (Va.) Lader says :
"The fact is, the Northern Democracy
does not know its own mind, it is in a
transition state; it is split into a hun
dred sections, each following a leader
Every individual section, almost every
man has his chosen man, the mass has
not united on an idea. We, of Vir
ginia, care nothing for the man, we def
nitely resolved upon the idea, and that
is the difference between Us. Why +?
Because we have always sustained our
beliefs, we have been consistent and
fought to the bitter end on principle,
when war was war. Accepting the fact
of peace, we accepted all the facts in its
train, among them the truth that
the Constitution is no longer what IT
was, but still is the law which, amend
ments and all, we must and do submit
to, accept and fulfill"
