The Liberals and Their Reforms.

You Liberals say that you are for re-
form. Did you expect it to be put in
your Cincinnati platform? When the Re-
publican party said it was opposed to the
extension of slavery in the Territories, it
said so. When it said that it was opposed
to human slavery, it said SO, and every
body understood what it meant. When
the Republicans said that the colored man
should go free and should be soldier,
everybody cOmprehended the declaration
When it said the colored man should vote,
the whole land knew what it meant.
You say you are in favor of civil service
reform. So is everybody. But what do
you mean by it 1t is well enough to say
that you are in favor of civil service re-
form, but you undertake definition and
you land where Washington and Jeffer-
son began. You have not added the
breadth of one hair to what we have al
ways said. Honesty, fidelity and capac-
ity! Why, everybody requires that.
You say, if the American people will
Just elect Greeley for four years, you will
promise never to bore them with him
again. [Laughter.] But you do not even
propose to change the Constitution of the
United States in that respect. You have
not the courage to assert solitary princi-
pie that you have learned outside of the
Republican party. You SIMPLY re-af1rm
the doctrines of the Republican party.
You have behaved very well, and fell
pretty kindly toward you. For the last
twelve years you have done well with us.
give you all thanks for that, but / tell
you when you attemptto set up concern
of your own, 1 take the right to make fun
of it. On this question Of civil service
reform, charge it upon you that you are
playing false. I don't want to make you
mad, for I want you all to vote for me.
This act is the best thing you can do.

"Charge It."

1 RODE to town the other day with Sam
Stewer. He said he was in "a deuce of a
hurry" He had sold a tub of butter to
be delivered at the station that day, and
he had field ready to SOW with wheat.
He didn't know how to spare the time,
but he "needed the money!" and so har
messed his team to deliver the butter This
he did, got his cash, and, returning from
the station, stopped at store to get two
pounds of tea, a pound of coffee, apound
of allspice, five pounds of sugar, and a
gallon of molasses. The packages were
put up for him. He hustled them into
the wagon, and, as he was untying the tie
strap, he shouted to the merchant,
'Charge it."

Then have got bill to pay at the milli'

not paid; and the women folks said they
would not ask for any more credit there
until it was, so I've got them fifteen OF
twenty dollars to pay up last years bill
so that they can get their head-gear. The
fact is, Garrulous, I'm behind time all the
while. These middlemen do take the life

There are two words, Stewer, that you

A Very Serious Thought.

WE read fearful narrative occasionally
concerning the mental agony endured by
an actor in the comedy way who is COM
PEELED to put an antic disposition on, and
make people laugh, when nearly over
whelmed by some great domestic grief.
His wife is dying, yet must he play. His
child is hardly cold in death, but the peo-
pie must be made to shout their senseless
mirth all the same, though his heart be
breaking.
have thought there might be another
side to this life-picture, albeit not so tragic
and so narrowing to our sympathies. Are
there not men whose dispositions would
lead them to laugh loud and often, but
who are perpetually kept from indulging
their inherent mirth on account Of the
popularity of their occupation. Take
the undertaken. He may be man who
enjoys good, hearty laugh equal to any
body. Naturally he is brimming over
with fun perhaps, and his mind is a re-
ceptacle for all manner of humorous con-
ceits; but he has few opportunities for
iudulging them. His profession requires
serious air and an appearance of solemn
ity, if not of actual sadness. What an
agony it must be to such a man to have
his good -humor perpetually smothered
with pail. I wouldn't blame him if,
after getting his customer snugly under
ground, he retired to some secluded spot,
where his voice could not by any possi-
bility CRATE upon the lacerated sensibili-
ties OF the mourners, and indulge in a
series of relaxing grins, and, if his health
required it, few good, hearty roars of
laughter. would do it, if 1 had to un-
dertake for living. Long-continued re.
straint of that sort would kill me.
would have to blow off occasionally, OF
some other undertaken would have job.
1t is hard not to be able to laugh when

to feel like it often-for laughter is very
insubordinate emotion-shouldn't under

Hens Eating Feathers.

The editor of the Poultry World-high
authority on such matters-says that we
"might as well try to extinguish flames
by pouring oil upon them, as to cure
feather-eating by flesh diet; and fresh
vegetables, though excellent for other rea-
sons, are useless for the purposes under
consideration. Feathers not wholly ma
tured, contain more or less blood in the
quills, and form very choice morsels
which will be greedily plucked and de-
voured by any flock of fowls, provided !:
first, that they can learn how, and second,
that they have opportunity. The learn
ing is invariably accomplished when fowls
are confined in small rooms. Under
such circumstances, if there is any mis-
chief that can be invented, they will
acquire it. A fowl in attacking a COM
panion. incidentally plucks a feather,
and pleased with the taste, swallows it
and seeks another. Now, in close quar-
tiers, the underlings of the flock can
readily be cornered by their superiors /;
hence the second requisite Opportunity
is gained Hens are observing crea-
lures, and are especially on the watch
with Jealous greediness when they notice
one of their fellows eating something.
Consequently when one sets the example
they all initiate, and in few days they
become set of cannibals, eating each
Nther alive like so many Kilkenny cats.
a friend of ours had, a couple of years
ago, a halfdozen fowls in small pen
that not only stripped the feathers from
each other till large patches of skin were
bare, but pecked away the flesh also till
considerable cavities were formed. Giving
fresh meat or fresh vegetables will stop
them just about as long as a noisy child
can be silenced by gingerbread is
while its mouth is full. A flock of fowls
once thoroughly demoralizcd had better
be killed at once, unless the season of the
year and the premises are such that the
birds can be given wide range, so that
they may disperse and avoid each other.
In cold weather and during storms, when
your fowls naturally huddle together IN q
corner, keep them scratching and pecking
legitimately, as may be done by the exer
else OF little ingenuity. The practice OF
plucking may be checked by daubing the
plumage of all the fowls attacked with
coal tar applied warm, but the remedy is
as bad as the disease, for any biped tarred
and feathered is pitiable object"

William Lloyd Garrison Sharply Re-
Dukes Charles Sumner.
BosToN, Mass, June

BosToN, Mass, June 8.
The following letter from William
Lloyd Garrison, the veteran abolitionist
and reformer, appeared in print here to
day.
RoxBURY, Mass, June I, 1872.
DEAR Mr.. SUMNER: owe it to you to say
with all the frankness which sober friend
ship justifies, that have carefully read your
speech in sharp arraignment of the Presi-
dent, and my conviction is that it is ill-judged,
ill-timed, and so extravagant in its charges
and bitter in its personalities, as to neutral
ize whatever just criticism can be found in
it. 1t will assuredly serve the purposes of
the worst foes the cause of impartial free
dom has to fear. Very many of them are
now rallying under the deceptive banner of
Liberal Republicanism, but the loyal, liberty
upholding party with which you have hith-
erto been identified will peruse it with deep
regret, if not with unfeigned astonishment.
Certainly you do not represent Massachu-
setts in this sweeping impeachment. Her
Republican people are almost q unit for the
reelection of the men whom you attempt to
stain with crime and cover with infamy. You
cannot separate General Grant from the
party which put him in the Presidential
chair, and which means to keep him in it, if it
is possible, another term, being satisfied as to
his ability, integrity and patriotism; and,
therefore, in stigmatiZing him as a venal
self-seeker and an unscrupulous usurper,
you virtually pronounce 1t to be equally cor
rupt and trustworthy. This you have a
right to do on your own responsibility, if you
must, but in so doing you will find yourself
for the first time i'll marked opposition to the
sentiments of Massachusetts as its Senator
in Congress. and surrounded by allies who
have been heretofore your deadiiest enemies.
Occupying as L do, an outside position, 1
write this not under party ties, and only be-
cause / feel constrained in this manner to
free my mind as proof of my friendship.
Receive it in the spirit which has dictated it.
Faithfully and regretfully yours,
WIN. LLOYD GARRISON.

Lima Beans without Poles.

Poles or stakes in many places are
hard to get, and thus many are deprived
of this delicious vegetable for want of
means to raise them. Some years ago it
was proposed, in order TO do away with
the necessity for poles, to lay brushwood
on the ground and let the vines run over
it. This plan, though reported favorably
on at the time, has never become popular.
Now we see that Michigan gentleman
has discovered that by cutting off all the
vines, or slender twining branches, the
plant soon loses the disposition to climb
up poles, and remains a thick-set bush,
bearing as abundantly as if they were
trained in the usual way
1t seems scarcely probable that they
would bear quite so freely. Perhaps this
is tinged little with the enthusiasm of
success, for it is indeed great success if
this great trouble of vegetable growers,
the bean pole, can be dispensed with.
One can spare few beans willingly, if
the facts are even nearly as represented.

Culture of Sage.

Sage is best grown on rich, sandy
loans. 1t is necessary that the soil be
naturally dry or artificially drained,
especially il the plantation is intended to
be permanent, since this herb, although
hardy, does not winter well on wet or
moist soils. For garden culture the
plants should be set one foot apart, in
rows eighteen inches asunder; but for
field culture, two feet apart by nine or ten
inches in the row would be more economi-
cal in the cultivation thereof.
About seven thousand seed are contain
ed in an ounce; therefore, four ounces of
seed should be ample for an acre in field
culture. 1t is usual to SOW the seed in a
carefully prepared bed in April, and
transplant into their permanent situation
in June, or when the plants are two or
three inches high; but if the land is not
weedy, they may be sown where they are
to stand, at the rate of one pound and a
half of seed per acre. Cover three
quarters of an inch deep, and sow few
radish seeds along the rows to mark the
lines for convenience in wedding. Thin
eventually to the distance as before di-
rected. The profits in sage culture will
depend upon the local demand, since you
cannot expect to compete with large
growers unless you have facilities for dry
ing and packing. You may get the seed
of any of the seedsmen.- Western Rural.

AN ACT OF JUsTICE.-Doubting Castle
was a sad stumbling block in the path of
Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn't
bar his way to Truth. We can sympathize
with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets
us when we are asked to believe anything
particularly extraordinary. Consequently,
when we heard, some eighteen months
ago, that physician in California had
compounded, from the juices and extracts
of certain herbs found there, medicine
that cured almost every variety of blood
disease, we were incredulous. Since then
we have had opportunities of testing the
accuracy of the report, and are free to
admit that our doubts have vanished.
Seeing what we have seen, knowing what
we know, it is impossible for us to ques-
tion the remedial properties of DIR.

A FEMALE confidence operator, named
Watson, has lately been detected in Lon
don, after perpetrating a series of swim
dies that entitle her to high rank in that
populous profession. Her victims were
an old couple, named Kitchen, and she
has literally subsisted off them for the
past seven years. Herlittle game was to
pretend that they were joint legatees
with herself to property worth 100000,
on which theory she assessed them in va
rious sums, from time to time, under the
pretence of paying fees and other ex-
penses incidental to collecting the lega-
cies. She managed by some device to
procure letter from the controller of
legacies, and this she altered by the use
of chemicals so as to make it convincing
evidence of the genuineness of her pre-
tensions. This was only one of many
forgeries that she committed, in the course
of which she initiated the signs-manual
of the judges of nearly all the chancery
courts in the realm. Indeed, 246 distinct
forgeries are charged against her.

A Slow Railroad.

THE Washington Capital has a CORE
spondent who has this to say about par
ticular railroad:
Why, it was only the other day on the
down trip we happened to spy Simm's
old mule about two miles out of town.
What should the reckless wretch of an
engineer do but clap on full steam and
race every foot of the way into the dis
trict. We didn't exactly pass the mule,
but we caught up with him twice, and
came into the depot neck and neck-and
which was putting tie most, the mule or
the engine, you couldn't have told to save
your life. Now it was all very exciting,
and all that, 1 know, but hadn't pur-
lieve the other four passengers had either.
This is wrong, Mr.. Editor, all wrong.
And then on another occasion, / remem-
Der, we came within a hairs breadth of
having a very serious accident. The en-
gineer had gotten off to SNOWFALL chip
munk, and the conductor was minding
young widows baby for her. The result
was that the train happened to get on
down grade, and we started off at terri
BILE rate-every bit of four miles an hour,
l should think. We were just half
mile above the Annapolis Junction, and
the first thing we knew (there being
no one to whistle and wake up
the switch-tender) we turned off into the
Annapolis road and went down the wrong
track at full speed. Imagine our conster
nation when just at this moment we heard
the whistle, not half a mile ahead of us,
of the Annapolis up train. We were
paralyzed with terror. Here were two
trains on the same track approaching each
other at the dizzy speed just mentioned.
Evidently our time had come In few
short hours the engines would meet,
and dthen-destruction With great pres
ence of mind minister on board organ
lied prayer meeting. Pale and calm the
doomed band of passengers sat, and
though with the very shadow of death
upon them, raised their voices in parting
hymn.
"Send for the baggage-master," said a
young man with sad smile.
"Why ?'' was asked.
because we are all about to pass in
our checks"
Everybody wept. From the rear plat
form we could see the miserable engineer
straining every nerve to catch up, but he
had tight boots on and didn't gain anything
to speak of.
