tits now suthoritatively announced
that Horace Greeley, who has been
a member of the National Republic
can Executive Committee since 1868,
refused to sign the call for the Re-
publican Convention at Philadel-
phia for June 5, giving the reason
that he wanted to be able to act
with independence. $40 act with
independence" means a heap, espe-
cially in view Of the following from
the New York Tunes of the 18th
instant:
Mr.. Greeley is understood to have
declared that even if Grant is re-
nominated, he will oppose him to
| the last. And so it is with q few
other, well-known public men. The
Indications, then, are that we shall
have a canvass of intense fierceness
and scrimony. 1t is as well for peo-
pie who happen to think well of
General Grant to make up their
mind to face all this.
This looks like sharp work
With Greeley opposed to Grant in
any emergency, and may be (who
knows p the candidate Of the anti
cipated coming coalition, the Times
may well remark that the canvass
will be one of "intense fierceness
and acrimony."-BGRRer

The putty of Patriots.

The first great duty incumbent on
all American patriots who would
perpetuate free institutions to those
who come after us, is to defeat
Grant for reelection TO the Presi-
dency. By what means this consum-
nation, so devoutly to be wished,
is to be accomplished, there are a
variety of views; but we believe
there are none-we kR0t0 there
should be none-who will not be
willing to make any reasonable sac
rifice OF prejudice or feeling, 10 COM
pass so desirable purpose.
If the result desired can be &C
complished certainly, or probably,
by the nomination of democrat,
pure and simple, then, we think
there will be few to say nay. If it
can be certainly or probably accom-
plished by union of conservative
republi leans and democrats, then in
our judgment the man who would
interpose objections to its cOnsum-
nation is traitor to genuine demo-
cratic republicanism in this coun-
try. If the result we set forth as of
paramount Importance, can best and
most certainly be attained by the
absolute and unconditional with
drawal of the democratic orgaui-
cation from the contest, we do not
hesitate to say that it ought to be
done, and 'twere don, 'twers well
'twere done quickly, Let us not
stand upon the order of doing it.,
but do it at once.
As we said in the beginning, we
say now, the first great duty of all
American patriots in the present
emergency, is to defeat Grants re-
election.

A GUILTY CoEsCIENCE.-The &c
centric Lorenzo Dow was once APP
preaching a place where he had an
appointment to preach, when q
stranger complained to him that his
watch was stolen from under his
pillow the night before. Dow as
sured the victim that the watch
would be restored, and picking up
boulder that weighed a pound or
so, hid it under his cloak and enter
ed the pulpit. After preaching
zealously for half an hour or so, he
suddenly exclaimed "A mans
watch was stolen in this neighbor-
hood last night, and the thief is now
in this house. l shall hit him with
throwing it, and one of the audience
ducked his head. He was instantly
seized, searched, and the stolen
watch found in his pocket.
Or Fisk and his wife, who was OIL

With his notorious sins against her,
there had never been enlargement
between them. She excused every
thing, and he held for her q sort Of
platonic affection. He wrote to her
constantly, and visited her very Of
ten. She was his eOnfidaEt always,
and his adviser in many things. She
was more like an elder sister than a
wife to this mercurial being, who
appears to have had the highest re-
spect for her traits of character, and
to have been compassionately regar-
ded by herself as an incorrigiblv
hayward member of the family who
must be humored in almost any &C.

says the Bureau Of Statistics, is the central
line of wheat production tor the present year.
Eas. of this line the crop Is more or less dis
appointing, but to the westward wheat and
corn have 1loUIi>Ied as never before. In Cali
fornia the increase Cpon last years product is
estimated at seventy five per cent, the quality
OF the crop beng excellent, and the !le'd per
acre large. Tn, farmers aud dealers ate un-
der some apprehension lest their crops can
neither be transported nor housed before the
rainy season sets in. Although she crops west
of the nn,t enth meriGiin, ard east of the
Rocky Mountains, are not go unwleldy as
those OF the Pacific slope the iarns have
abandoned hopes OF hlgh prices; tortAey can
not count upon orders from the southern
States, the condition having been favorable
for grain crops there, as well as farther north.
The great railroad corporation. have already
put . their tariff, and however cheap, wheat
and corn may be at the West, II is by 10
means certain that 1t viii be much cheaper

that Whenever they resorted to the water they
were driven away to the pasture AT ONE. We
have learned that simply turning the herd IN
TO the yard upon n cold day IN winter and a.
lowing them to remalL fifteen minutes, the
flow OF milk was diminished to "a serious ex-
tent, and consequently the animals are not ar
lowed TO leave the warm stable during the en-
tire winter, except for briet period upon
warm, sunshlay days. Water is blought d.
rectly from well into the barn, and the
drinking vessels are SO arranged that the .nl

their wants. The nature OF the water supply

Walnut stumps are getting valuable as arti.
Giles Of merchandise at the East. Some one
has discovered that the curly gram OF the roots
can be used for veneering purposes with grea:
success, and the result is that they are in de-.
mand, and are worth one hundred and fifty
dollars per stump. Some OF the backwoods.
men OF the forests of Iowa, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin are getting out the stumps rapidly,
and are creating a new and valuable trade.
The veneerng made of these roots is said to
be most beautiful, and can be used in the lin.

the manu- tacture of musical instruments.
