his righteous soul about the canvass on the

preparing Tor n canvass of the State

he meets the Judge on the stump, we guar

PRESIDENT GRANTS accusers, especially
those who oppose him under the guise of
Reformers," are about the scaliest, sour
West set of dogs in the Greeley pack.
Farnsworth, of Illinois, John +. by name,
sometimes called General, belongs to this
class. He has been counting the favor of
Democrats for long time, by the exhibit
ton of captious fault finding spirit, to-
ward the President and all his friends.
His malignity has broken out on sundry
occasions, in grOundless attacks on Mr.. A.
Ii. Mullett, the industrious and efficient
experimenting Architect of the Treasury
Department. He is not man of any abil-
ity and attempts to gain notoriety rath-
er than reputation for anything
good. He, like many others of his
'co-Reformers," fails to present a record
that would justify one in clubbing him a
reformer in the true sense of the word, and
comes in for fair share in the general
stock of damaged regulations. 1t has leak
ed out and has been proven, that during
the war, while he was commanding a regi-
ment of Federal soldiers, he received at one
time the snug sum of FIFTEEN HUN
DRIED DOLLARS as bonus for trans
porting his regimentover a certain railroad
instead OF over a competing line. Mr..
Farnsworth can now go to the head of the
class. Next

But he had now learned the spell, and as
long as he continued to play with tolerable
accuracy he was comparatively safe. The
old fiddler forgot his terror in professional
PRIDE for he was decidedly Aattered by such
intense appreciation, and entering into the
spirit of the thing played with gusto and
effect such as he thought he had never be-
fore surpassed or even equalled. Even the
wedding with its warm rooms and swcetened
whiskey, was forgotten for the time in the
glow of his new professional triumph,
But as time progressed, he began to give
way unde cold exhaustion. But he could
not stop moment before they were at him
again, and there they persisteutly sat, that
shaggy troop of connoisseurs, fdgeting on
their launches, with lolling tongues and
pricked ears, listening to their compulsory
charmer, for several weary hours, until the
negroes at the wedding becoming impatient,
or alarmed about the old man, came out TO
look for him and found him thus perch d
upon the roof of the tottering hut, saving
away for dear life. They rescued the old
man from his conlfortless position, while the
lingering forms of his late audience told
that they most unwillingly surrendered the
fruition of their unwonted feast.

Poultry for Profit.

The fatal diseases of the past year have
dsheartencd many breeders, and will doubt
less deter others from attempting the cult:
vation of poultry for profit, but this should
not be, since misfortunes and failures sorns-
times overtake us in all pursuits. Farmers
do not give up the planting Of cereals because
the fly, the joint-worm or drouth cut short
the products. Why, then, become disheart-
ened because ofmisfortune in another branch
of their crops? Taking the capital invest
ed and the labor required, we are quite sure
that the skillful farmer realizes larger profits
from his poultry yard, year after year than
from any other branch of his pursuits. If
his fowls are well housed and properly fed
and watered, success is almost certain, provi-
ded they are judiciously bred, and are not
overcrowded in their runs and lodgings.
No farmer would expect to raise fine cat
tie, Or horses, or sheep, or hogs, from inferi-
or stock, bred in-and-in for series of years.
He should not expect greater success from
inferior poultry.
As the breeding season is rapidly approach
ing, a few hints on the subject may be Of
advantage to some ofour readers. 4
Where only dung hills are kept and have
been bred for years, the stock may be great.

A Chicago reporter thus describes Twain
in his last lecture "Mr. Twain never dip
ped into pathos, and never rose into elo-
duence, but he kept sliding right along in
a fascinating nasal snarl, looking and speak

he rubbed his hands softly catcher

ANIMAL FooD.-The amount of animal
food which Americans eat is fearful. We
are too nervous to allow it to eat up our
vitality to such an extent. Many of the
ancients never ate animal food. Plutareh, q
learned Grecian abstained from it altogether,
He lived to be nearly eig ghty years old, and
was hard worker. He is said to have writ
ten over three hundred philosophical works.
Cae hundred an twenty-five of them are ex-
tant. This celebrated man once wrote: "You
ask me for what reason Pythasoras abstaln-
ed from eating the flesh OF brutes; Tor my
nort 7 am astonished to think what appetite
frst M induced man to taste of a dead carcass
or what motive could suggest the notion of
nourishing himself with the flesh of dead
animals" People could live much cheaper
if thew wero to adopt Plutarch's views, and,
in the opinion Of many, much better and pur-
ar lives.

that Convention, the probabilities are
that the dissatisfied Democrats will carry
the day. With strong delegation
of Liberal Democrats from the South
in that Convention, it is almost certain
that a Democratic nomination will be
averted and the Cincinnati candidates
and platform be accepted by the Democratic
party. This last course insures the success
OF the Liberal Republican movement-it in
sures to the South four years of Fair-play
and Equal Rights, it insures to the whole
country return of harmony and peace.
The question is, Can the South afford to run
any risk, when it is evident that in the hands
of the Southern delegates practically lies the
decision whether the Democracy shall, or
shall not, nominate party candidates? The
Southern States, in other words, will deter
mine, by their presence and by their votes
at Baltimore, whether Grant or Greeley
shall be the next President OF the United
States. TO ratify the nominations at mass
meetings would have no effect. There is
only one way in which the designs OF the
Rule or Ruin Democrats can be frustrated,
and that is by voting them down 10 the Ma
tional Convention.
Another consideration presents itself TO
the people. The Liberal Republicans have
broken party ties, have brought down upon
their heads The malgnity OF the Executive,
and have exposed themselves to the con-
tumely and abuse OF the administration Or
gans in order that they might form q new
party which should give Amnesty to the
South, which should respect the writ OF
Aabeas corpus, which should restrain Con-
gressional violence, and should, in all things,
treat the Southern people as American citl-
zens and the Southern States as equal MEM
bers of the American Union. They were
not bidding for Southern support. Their
only motive was their love Of country, and
their respect for the constitution. But the
words OF their platform, and the names OF
their candidates, appeal TO the South with
gigantic force, and we should deserve q
worse fate than has yet befallen us II we
basely deserted the Statesmen and patriots
who have nobly raised their voice in our be-
hall, and are struggling, to achieve the very
reforms most essential to our prosperity and
content The Southern States can cause
victory to perch on the banners OF the Lib
eral Republicans; bu; to do this they must
stand by them throughout the canvass, and
must, above all things, strive to overthrow
the faction who, II We stay at home with
folded hands, will, most likely, defeat Gree
lev and Brown on the floor OF the Baltimore
Convention.
We owe 1t to the Liberal Republicans, we
owe it to the Liberal Democrats, qoe o,0e ii
to ourseloes to have every Southern State
represented by it's delegates In the National
Democratic Cow ention.
