It is not unfrequently the case that par
tisans writing from the country represent
the state of political feeling there as in
perfect accord with their own when, in
fact, no such harmony exists. It is done,
perhaps with entire sincerity, and with no
desire to misrepresent. Everybody under
stands that we often view things through
the glamour Of our own spectacles. In
this way we account for the PicaDlne' s
correspondents finding much enthusiasm
for their fraudulent State ticket in locali-
ties where, in fact, resides the intensest
spirit of opposition toit. There is nothing
more certain than that nine out Of every
ten men in the country mot Radicals),
whether Democrat, Reform, or Liberal,
will abide the decision Of the August con-
ventiOn.

This pavement is a concrete stone, LAID in squares
of any desired size, shape or color. The power
quired to render a5sunder one square inch Of Port
land cement of which this stOueis made is found TO
be 1852 pounds. Its superiority as pared with
bricks is shown by the fact that the former yields
only to the crushing pressure Of l20 tons, while
Stafford blue brick pulverizes at fifty tons, fire clay
bricks at fOTty-hve and midway perfect brick at
forty eight tons The above results were deter
mined by experiment made by General J. A. Oil.

ablest engineers Of Europe.
This pavement is laid 50 that the blocks can not
get out Of place. being adjusted to the ground so
the bearing is equal in a. parts. Neither surface,
water nor grass can penetrate the seams. Ahd as
it can be laid in small squares expansion or con
traction does not crack or break it. Artificial
stone pavement made, with this cement for its
chief ingredient, was laid on King Williams
bridge, Ediuburg; the courtyard Of the Liverpool
Exchange, and the platform floor Of the ra iTOad
station at Few Castle. 1t has been laid extensively

At meeting Of horticultaris,si in Illi-
nois, strong ground WAS taken against
the destruction of these birds. To
show how useful this bird is. ii was
stated that hOck Of partridges were
seen running alongs the rows Of corn
just sprouting, and seeing them en-
gagged in something which was believ-
ed 10 be pulling up the Young plants,
one of them was killed and is "crop"
examined, which was found TO contain
. cutworm, twenty-onc striped bugs
and over one hundred chinch bugs.
Another member related that he had
adopted measures to protect the bird,
and that they had become so numer-
and so sAme that hundreds of them,
alter snow falls, could be seen in his
bArn-ysrd with his fowls where they
were fed. A. the result of their pres
ence upon his premises his wheat
crops were unusually abundant, while
IN many other places not far oil the
chinch bug and other insects had de-
stroyed haif the crop.-Carovton Ca

Keep tAs Gate aA.s.

An English farmer was one day At
work in his fields, when he saw party
of huntsmen riding about on his farm.
He had one field that he was especially
anxious they should not ride over, as
the crop was in a condition to be badly
injured by the tramp Of horses. So
he dispatched one Of his workmen to
this field, telling hAn to shut the. gate,
and then keep watch over it, and on no
account to suffer it to be opened. The
boy went as he was hidden; but was
scarcely at his post before the hunters
came up, peremptorily ordering the
gate TO he opened. This the boy de.
clined to do, stating the orders he had
received, and his determination not 10
disobey them. Threats and bribes
were offered, alike in vain, one after
another came forward as spokesmen.
but all with the same result; no re-

Tho following is the text Of Col. J.
W. Forneys speech on Grant, which
has caused . sensation In Pennsylvania
political circles:
II believe that Gen. Grants rendli-
nation IL inevitable. Iknow Of no Re-
publican in this city or State, whatever
his views may be on other questions,
who is against Grant. l believe his re-
election essential to the preservation Of
the Union. When I read the proceed
ings of those investigating committees,
! feel like opposing their silly state
ments and prejudices BY the great his
torical facts Of his military and civil
record. Then ! remember Grant as the
man who saved my country and yours.
l remember how he seized our cause
when it was sinking, almost for the last
time, and bore it victory. remember
how he abstained from the Presidency
until it was forced upon him and that
bus for him, in 1868, we should have
been defeated, even by Seymour and
Blair"
