The Nashville Banner thinks the
CHRONICLE is "the chartered organ of Mr..
John Baxter in the prosecution of his nu-
merous libel suits" We have been charg-
ed by some jealous little creatures about
here of being "Baxter's organ" generally,
but this is the first precise information we
have of our relations to the damage suits.
But the Banner charge is not at all diff
ferent in spirit from others We have heard.
They invariably come from men who have
sold themselves out in various ways and
to various masters, and who believe we
hold ourselves out for price as they have
done and still do. But such charges
do not worry US. We want it dis
tinctly understood that in exposing
the plundering of corrupt newspapers and
politicians we are the organ of any and ev-
cry honest man who is bold enough to
make the expose. Further than this, we
are not the organ of Mr.. Baxter or any
ltVing man, and all imputations Of this
KIND, II made by an honorable man, will
De considered an imputation upon our in
tegrlty, which we shall meet in the proper
way.
AS for the Bonner, we have only to as
sure 1t that Col. Baxter's communications
do not bring US so much revenue as it re-
ceived for publishing the obscene libel for
which it is sued, or as it is now charged
with obtaining from the State on one of
its smallest jobs. Its rates for libels, are
if we mistake not, twenty cents per line
for public printing, evidently, as much as
it can get.

INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM.

The Lynchburg Virginian has some well
timed remarks on this subject, which so
nearly expresses our own views that we
give them. After quoting from a late
number of the Tribune, in reference to
editors giving their own individual views
on important questions, whether these
views are the same as are entertained by a
majority of their readers or not, and en-
dorsing the position of that paper, the
VirginiGn says:
It is equally true, that all mon are not so con-
sttuted as to be able to appreciate an outspoken,
independent journal. Their idea is, that an
editor must, in all cases, express their opinions.
He must be in perfect accord with them, and if
be fails to confess sentiments Identical with their
own and especially if he should advocate, with
any degree of warmth and earnestness, prin-
ciplss to which they may feel averss, the first
evidence of their disapproval is given in those
ominOus words: Stop my paper!" And these
mario minded blockheads'' often seem to
imagine, if we may judge by their actions, that,
not only their relations to the paper as patrons,
will cease, but that the paper itself will be
stopped" as Mr.. Greeley says. Such men,
obviously, have very crude and incorrect ideas
about the independence that ought to charac-
terize journalism under all circumstances, and
are wholly unable to discriminate between
honest, indepenent journalism, and venal.
shackled, time-serving Press; of which, un-
fortunately, there are too many examples in
the country.
We like that kind of talk. We believe
it to be the duty of editors to thoroughly
post themselves on all questions they dis
cuss, and then give the result of their own
honest convictions, regardless of what
others may think. With such spirit of
independence, the public press will attain
to standard of responsibility which it can
never reach otherwise.

SECRETARY BoUTwELLs INTEGRITY.

The Democratic papers have lately had
much to say concerning the alleged defal-
cation of the Honorable Secretary of the
Treasury, while he was Commissioner of
Internal Revenue. We allude to it only
to direct public attention to the reckless
ness with which such papers put forth
their charges. In the first place there IS
no truth whatever in the charges, as we
explained Sunday. In the next place, a
public man with the high character that
Mr.. Boutwell, enjoys, ought to be above the
suspicious which the general and vague
charges referred to excite.
Secretary Boutwell, has now been in
public life in various positions Of hon
or and trust for nearly thirty years.
If dishonest, or even disposed to wink at
corruption, he has had opportunities for
amassing an immense fortune. With the
abilities he possesses and the privileges he
has enjoyed, he might to-day be mil
lionaire, if there was a dishonest hair in
his head, and the public never be the wiser
as to where it came from. But what are
his circumstances to-day? He is poor
man He has handled millions-aye, bill
lions of public money, and yet lives in the
city of Washington from the small and
insufficient salary allotted him by law as a
Cabinet officer. Like his distinguished
colleague, Senator Wilson, and many 9TH
er prominent men in Washington, his
honesty is not to be suspected. 1t seems
to us that faithful public servant with
such character ought to be free from ia
decent abuse and charges from Democratic
papers, themselves reeking in all manner
of corruption and villainY.

Gentlemen-I heard of my customers speak in
such high terms of Aliens Lung Balsam to-day that

that could be procured for her. but all to avail
She still grew until she confined to her bed
and when she seized with parOxysm of coughing
she would lose the power of respiration, and they
compelled to resort to various to restore breath
ing; and while she cOughed hard she could not eX
pectorat any hing, and the family and friends had
given up all hopes Of her recovery. Her noticed
the advertisement of Aliens Lung Balsam in the
Christian Advocate and they thought they would pro-
and try it. They common ed giving he the Bal
sam at o'clock P. NJ, directed, dose every hour

ing and expectorated mouth full of dark yellow mat
ter which something she had not been able do
for time They continued to give her the BaSam
until morning and then she began c expectorate free

pints of ucus matter, which gave her immediate re-

Unproductive Lands.

In travelling through the country
one is struck with the vast amount
of land in an unproductive state
Not referring to the timber land,
which in one sense may be held to
be in a productive state, there are
within sight of the principal rail
roads passing from east to west
many millions of acres that are out
of cultivation, for the most part pro-
ducing weeds. This is undoubtedly
the consequence of farmers holding
too much land. If we should un-
dertake to calculate the value of
these lands, estimated at the cost of
improving and fencing them, it
would be something too considera-
bic for belief. 1t would represent
the amount Of capital lying idle.
bringing in no interest, but on the
other hand, yearly deteriorating and
growing less. The evil of holding
too much land is twofold; there is
not only Il loss in the waste of the
money value involved, but there is
damage to the part cultivated from
want of means to cultivate it prop
erIy and proitably. The passion
for possessing land has become II
serious evil, for it has led to the ac-
emulation, in the hands of men
who are unable to use them, of large
tracts which arr, f,rmeI in the moor
est manner and made to yield only
a small share of what they would
produce under proper cultivation
Where population is dense and
farms small, there the yield is the
richest.

will balk as readily when hitched
by the traces, if properly trained,
as when hitched by the halter; and
they will pull back as faithfully by
the hal err, if trained to do SO. as
they pull forward when hitched by
the traces to wagon. tits an easy
matter to teach a horse to refuse to
pull at either the halter or traces,
and it is equally easy to teach him
to pull by the same means. Ifthose
who drive horses would keep this
fact in view, and keep their temper
out Of view, they would never be
guilty of the shameful act of beating
their team in mudhole or Oh hill
side.-Erchange.

THE APPLE TREE BoRER.-This
insect has been very destructive to
apple trees the past summer. We
believe more trees have been INJURED
by it the past season than in five
previous years. 1t hardly seems
possible that so small an insect can
produce so much destruction. Ma
ny apple trees in one of our or
chards, with bodies four or FIVE
inches in diameter, were killed out
right before we had any knowledge
that they were at work. Itbehooves
those having young apple orchards
to watch them closely and hunt in
cesSantly for the borer. Early in
summer and autumn is the best
time to look after them. You will
have to kill them in their holes with
piece of wire that is somewhat
elastic. Look carefully about the
body Of the tree, near the surface Of
the ground, for the sawdust that
they eject from their holes. With
your pocket knife cut away the bark
so that You can have fair sailing
Now thrust in your wire, and lit
tie experience will tell you when
You have ''tixed' your enemy. This
work must not be neglected if You
would save your trreS.-Ru. World.

Corn should not be allowed to
stand until frost has injured it.
AS soon as the ears are glazed i,
may be cut up. Much corn is ready
to cnt by the middle of August
which is left from day to day, until
at last Il frost occurs, and the value
Of the fodder is deteriorated, posi-
bly, one-toarth. The great value OF
corn fodder is becoming recogpized
and more care is exercised in har-
vesting it than heretofore. Cutting
it at the right time is one of the
first requisites in preserving it, and
if this is neglected, no aticr,carc
can repair the damage.

Packing Eggs.

There is a rode of packing eggs
by which they may be safely car
ricd any distance, and over rough
roads, without damage. And there
is another mode by which half OF
them may be very easily brokon.
The secret lies in solid packing,
with an elastic material between
the layers. We have watched many
barrels of eggs opened without Il
single broken one in them, and many
badly packed, which we would not
have handled had they been given
to us for nothing. The proper mode
of packing, either in barrels, boxes,
or baskets, is to place first a layer
Of long hay or straw three inches
thick in the bottom. On this scat
ter an inch in depth Of cut hay or
straw, or chatf' or oats, or whatever
packing is used; then place the eggs
on their sides, not touching each
other, and When the layer is com
plete, spread oyer and between them
the cut stuff or chatf two inches
deep. Press this down gently with
piece Of board, ard put another
layer of eggs, taking care that they
do not touch each other or the sides
OF kSsniis lAAa,.-aua.i ~ ~ the
layer of packing as before. When
the barrel is full, place layer of
long hay or straw on the top in such
quantity that the lid must be press
ed down with considerable force to
90 into its place. The eggs will
then be solidly packed and will not
become loose, and will stand con-
siderable Earring without damage;
but if they were loosely packed,
each little jar would cause them to
strike against each other, thereby
breaking the shells.-XearM and
Home.

NJ. /. Dunlap's idea Of planting
forest trees is that they must be
closely planted, in order to make
proper upward growth, and will
need to be .thinned ont year after
year, according to the raridity OF
growth. About three thousand
trees to the acre will answer Il good
purpose. This will make them
about four feet each way. Some
planters prefer three feet, and begin
to thin out in five or six years. The
wood that is obtained in thinning
will more than pay for the extra
plants and labor.

The Horse from n Moral Standpoint.

The driver who fights his horses
has not rot through the first lesson
in the management of these animals.
Some strike their horses in Il fit of
anger: others beat them as Il pun
ishmcnt for what they conceive to
be sinful acts on the part OF the
horse. Now, the fact is, the horse
never does wrong on purpose. In
this respect he is better than most
men. If he refuses to pull, it is the
fault of education; and if he runs
away, and kicks things to pieces,
it is because he is frightened. Men,
when thew are scared, do some very
foolish things, and they are eXru-
scd; but no allowance is made for
the runaway horse. He is kicked
and cuiicd and beaten, as if what
was done was on purpose to hurt
somebody, and not in consequence
of supposed danger, which the poor
animal was trying to fee from. ll"r-
ses never kick without Il motive.
They use their heels for defense:
and the first kick ut the traces is
yivcn to ward of what to them
seems danger. No horse ever kick
cd for any other purpose. They
cherish n" i'll feeling against any
one. ana always do, so far as they
know. what is right. All horses
can be educated to do whatever the
driver wishes. They obey cheer
fully and without grumbllng, even
though put to rest with half ratlons
in cold. filthy, and muddy stable.
4 horse can easily be taught to know
the harness will not hurt him. Then
he will not kick at it and run away.
He is also easily taught to pull by
the traces, or by the halter strap.
IF Won want him to pull well on the
halter, all you have to do is to hitch
him with something he can easily
break, and he will soon learn to pull
his best at heavy loads. Horses
balk or pull just rs they are taught.
