Col. CAsBY.-Although Casey'S
advisers ara short of brains to q
distressing extent, | venture tO
predict that the investigation will
show Collector Casey to be the
most shamefully abused man in
the country, He is an honest,
good hearted, plain gentleman,
distinctly adverse to politics. 1t
must be borne in mind that
against his collection of the i'm
ports there is not even the charge
of fraud-a singular contrast
with Warmoth'S State government
which is VIGOROUSLY u structure
of corruption, 1t is true that
since the war the revenue has
nowhere been more economically
collected than in New Orleans
Cust0m-hOuse and it is true that
Casey tried to take the Custom
house out of politics. The quar-.
rel arose because he refused to
turn out some competent Dem
Ocratic clerks, and give their pla-
ces to the incapable pets of Con.
greesmen. Recently published
documents show that nearly all
the politicians OF the State petit
toned for his removal, more than a
year ago, on this expressly stated
ground. Warm0th then interceded
in his behalf, in the hope of turn,
ing the Custom-heuse patronage
to his own political interest and
because Casey revOlted against
putting Warmoth's tools in the
places of worthy men, we have
the present fight. In resisting
WarmOth's aggression he has
been compelled of late to yield to
the pressure of anti Warmoth pol.
iticians for situations. He could
not expect them to fight his
cause while he dispensed his pat,
ronage to his enemies r.r

Warmoth, and his carpet
baggers, have always had, in so
far as we were able, due fame
given to their villianies. The
time is approaching when the
opposition to the plunderers of
our State must come to a head;
when the people must band
themselves together under lea
ders, not dictatcrs, in order to
fling them out Of power. The
Democratic party is a good Or
ganization to keep up for that
purpose. 1t is without leaders
now, and leadersmust be elect
ed from the ranks-not self
constituted.
When the Democratic army
shall have been duly organized
for battle against the great
enemy will be the proper time
to drive out suspected traitors.

will vote for reform measures
and energetically advocate
them, then their sins should be
forgiven.
We hold TO the Democratic
organization now and expect
so to continue; butnevertheless
our paper shall he free and out

under the pressure for a third or
conservative party, and we saw
succeeding that piece of folly a

that position. We shall follow

This is at least true of the old method of
treating the long abused and much abused
human body. 1t is no longer considered wise
to put patient to tho torture in order to cure
him of disease in which pain is already un
dermining the energies of his system, True
science ranges itself on the side of nature, and
endeavors to assist her in. her fight against
disease. This is the providence of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the most approved tonic ever
advertised in this country. 1t may be recon-,
mended as fall medicine, par excellence Tor
It is IN the fall that biliousness, dyspepsia and
malarious feyers are especially prevalent.
The frame, exhausted by the heats OF summer,
is relaxed and feeble at its cluse, and requires
we may say demands, artificial assistance.
Ahord 1t that assistance in occasional doses
OF Hostetters Stomach Bitters, and the evils
referred to may be escaped, Throughout the
far West and on the steaming allusia, of the
Southern rivers, all the varieties of periodical
fever are probably rife to-day, Had course
of ilostetter's Bitters been co mmeneea by th,
sufferers month ago, 1, e., before the un
healthy season set in, seyen- eghts of them
would In all probability be in their usua

See TO tbe Clover.

Mr.. Curtis, before the Farmers Club.
says: Hogs can be wintered on clover
hay cut green, if it is steamed 10 q pulp,
without any meal or bran being added -
Cattle reducing this to a pulp by mas
tication, get similar effect We know
leading farmers who keep their diaries
during the winter on clover hay alone,
or clover and cornstalks. This will keen
them till the COWS are turned to grass and
they go into pasture strong and in good
flesh, giving large yield of milk at the
same time. This being fact, as it is de-
monstrated yearly, why are we feeding
grain? Simply because we neglect or dis
regard early cutting, fearing we can not
cure our hay in this early or green stage.
1t is more an excuse than anything else.
Others do it, cut early and cure fair to
well. Have the hay capped and there is
ly, which will expedite the drying. BY
cutting the first crop (clover) early, when
just in blossom, the second crop may be
cut, and in good time, leaving time enough
for an after-growth for protection.
Here are two crops and as clover can
be made to yield well with comparatively
little expense, we need not call attention
to the benefit derived in this way. Plaster
now, a bushel to the acre, and determine
beforehand that you will make the test,
and make il. If not on a large scale, at
least test it on small. Have the hay caps
ready; there is time for that now. What
we need is testing, and testing fairly. If
the best farmers are reaping advantage
here, why may we not all have it? Clo-
yer is the farmers plant of profit. Those
engaging earliest in it fully, will get the
most of the beneflt.-COr. Utica Herald.

Obvious Facts About Pruning.

Certain principles of pruning are based
upon principles self-eyidentt to every one
who thinks. The fork or sharp crotch is
always to lose one branch, and the young
er the better, and whenever limbs inter-
lock or chafe, the least important must be
removed. The tops which have been
thrown over towards the northeast, and
out of balance by the severe northwest
winds, should be so shortened In, while
the greatest reserve force is in the tree, that
the southwest limbs are encouraged to
rubber Shoots" as the Germans call
them, (which, by the way, are often evil
denee ofexcessive or misdirected pruning, J
should always be removed, better while
still herbaceous, but if not then, they
should stay till the leaves are off in the

Cutting Timothy Too Close.

A writer in Fair Play, at Fulton, NO.,
says: I'VE are led to think, that in our
dry, hot climate, the timothy meadows are
cut too close. This is particularly the case
when the cutting is done with a mower
which is now almost universal. The bulb
having been shaded in its growth by the
tall grass, is suddenly laid bare to the al
most vertical rays of burning July and
August sun, which dries every particle of
moisture in it; consequently when the
rains come, the bulb has lost its germinat-
ing power. We noticed last year, where a
small portion of a meadow was cut with a
cradle for seed, that the growth of grass
during the fall was far greater, and also,
that the timothy is great deal heavier on
that part this season than alongside where
il was mown close with the machine
