Harvesting Corn by Machinery,

Mr.. Harris says in the Agriculturist
:" believe corn will yet be harvested as
we harvest wheat-cut with reaper
bound into bundles of convenient size for
pitching, and then thrashed or husked by
a big machine, driven by ten horses or "a
steam engine. 1t must be powerful
enough to take in bundle at time, strip
off TIE ears and husk them, and the stalks
as they pass through Can be cut up and
elevated, by a straw carrier. believe in
less than ten years we shall see hundreds
OF sucn machines travelling from farm to
farm, as threshing machines now do.
and we shall wonder how We ever got
along without them.

Swallowing n Man.

John Thomas was man of keen wit.
and strongly tlnctured with the love of
the humorous. He had been down to
Concord, and had seen the Fakir of
Ava perform his wonderful tricks of
legerdemain. He was relating his ex-
perience in the bar-room of the Con-
way House, and among other things
declared that he had gained an insight
into many Of the magician's manlpula-
tions, and that several of the most
wonderful tricks he could perform
himself.
"For instance" said he, CT can
swallow a man whole"
"Bah " cried Tom Staples, red
faced woodsman, weighing at least two
hundred; "p'haps you could swallow
me?"

ing, i'll the presence of as many wit
nesses as you may choose, and it shall
be done in the square in front of the
hotel"
This was agreed to, and the money
was put up. By the following morning
the news that John Thomas was to
swallow Tom Staples whole had be-
come widespread, and a vast concourse,
embracing men, women and children,
had assembled to witness the wonder.
sul feat.
At the appointed time the chief ac-
tors appeared in the square. John
Thomas was smiling confidently, as
though sure of success, while Tom
Staples looked timid and uneasy, as
though not quite at rest concerning
what was to become of him.

"All ready" answered Tom; begin

"Sartin."
"Now your boots"
Tom removed his boots.
"Next you will remove your coat.
Those big brass buttons might stick in

Tom took off his coat, and az he
threw it upon the ground one of the
cooks came out from the hotel with a
pail of melted lard and big white
wash brush, which he deposited by the
side of John Thomas.
"Now," pursued John, "you will
take off your stockings, and then re-
move your pantaloons and shirt"
"Eh? Dye mean for me to strip
stark naked?" queried Tom, aghast.
"Of course I do. The agreement
was that 1 should swallow you. You
are meat, but your clothes are not, nor
were they in the bond. If you will

ing, and double the bet if you wish. ]

events I can try"
Tom gave up the bet, and invited his
friends into the hotel.

How to Manage n Bull.


The National Live Stock journal replies
to u correspondent: To no animal is ex-
ercise more important than the breeding
bull and it is, we believe, the Judgment
Of large majority of practical breeders
that the frequent instances OF ineficency
in high-bred animals are caused by high
condition and idleness. We know that
many instances might be cited of bulls
kept In doors summer and winter, and in
the highest condition, that have been sure
breeders; but these are exceptions to the
general rule, and should not be relied upon
as examples. We endeavor to have our
bulls i'll pasture day and night in May and
June and in the fall months. In hot
weather they are kept in through the day.
When in pasture, We usually allow a lew
cows in calf to run with them. With this
management, bull will be vigorous, eff
cient and healthy, and much more likely
to Re quite than when constantly confined
in the stable. Some breeders fence in a
field of five or six acres for a bull lot, in
which they have shed and water, and
where they keep the breeding bull sum-
mer and winter. This is a very excellent
plan; aud with strong post and rail fence,
if the bull is never allowed to be taken
out, he will sometimes behave himself
quietly there for five or six years.
In the winter bulls are generally kept in
stables, but should always be taken out
daily for exercise-it only a few rods to
water, II will be great help.

THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION.

The Convention of the "straight-out"
Democrats at Louisville, though not as
prolific of leaders undoubtedly represents
more voters than the Cincinnati Conven-
ton that inaugurated the Greeley move
ment. Recent events fully prove that
though SchurZ, Trumbull and Sumner
went out from the Republican: party to
Cincinnati they took but few voters with
them. The Louisville movement can not
boast of many prominent leaders, for most
of them are committed to Greeley, but it
represents very numerous Democratic
constituency who never were satisfied
with Greeley. This number increas-
es as the certainty of Greeley's
defeat becomes more apparent. The
masses of the Democracy do not feel COM
mitted to the sale at Baltimore and thou
sands of them will support the Louisville
nominees as the only hope to perpetuate
the Democratic party and maintain their
own consistency.
Our dispatches at hand at this writing
report the nomination of Charles O'Conor
for President. If he accepts the nomina-
ton he will unquestionably have a large
and respectable following. His letter of
itself gives character to the convention and
lifts it up far above the reach of the petty
abuse heaped upon it by the Greeley
organs. No matter what we may
think of the Bourbon Democracy,
the Louisville Convention gives them a
recognition in the political field, and the
public will admit they are far more con-
sistent and sincere than the converts to
the EXTREMIST type of radicalism. How
numerous they are and what part of the
November vote they will poll remains yet
| to be seen.

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN STATE.

All hail to the glorious Green Noun
tain State, ever true to the nations honor
and welfare! Right nobly have the Green
Mountain boys, as on glorious fields be-
fore, borne aloft the Republican banner
and gallantly have they carried the day.
Our dispatches this morning tell story
the CHRONICLE readers will gladly hear.
Five thousand increased Republican ma
iority is noble response for Vermont.
ssHere % shout thirty six thousand or more
Vermont Republicans to the roll-call of the
quiet little General and President.
There is no installing the tone of those
voices as they ring, oh! how deep and
loud, in the ears of the Greeleyites. The
verdict of Vermont shows clearly that the
Republicans of the North are practically a
unit, as of old. This splendid result may
well provoke the query, isn't it the Dem
ocratic, instead of the Republican party
that's split? If Greeley has divided the
Republican vote, isn't it time some evil
dence of it was given at the ballot box
Last year the Republican majority in Yer
mont was 21,SO9. This year it is $4,000,
and probably $4,000. "The tidal wave
rolls on" but it rolls in the wrong direc-
ton: The game of brag must soon play

TAMpERING WITH THE DISPATCHES.

The Greeley organs are driven to desper-
alton when they deliberately change the
Associated Press reports to suit their pur-
poses. The dispatch of the Associated
Press received by the CHRONICLE are
word for word the same as those sent to the
Press and Herald. On Tuesday night the
following dispatches came to the CHRoN-
ICLE and was printed just as it came, We
have the original before us. AS it appear
ed in the CHRONICLE and as received, dat
ed Montpelier, Vt, Sept, Sd. 1t read as
follows:
Ten towns, which in 1870 gave 1,S70 Republi-
can majority, now give ], 902 s.
The same dispatch was received at the
Press and Herald office at the same time
but it appeared in that paper yesterday
morning as follows:
MONTPELIER, Sept. S.-Ten towns, which, in
1870, gave Republican majoritieS, now give l.
902 for the Democrats.
A comparison of the two shows how the
dispatch was changed in the Press and
Herald office to make little temporary
capital for the Greeley cause.
The change in the Press and Herald
shows gain of at least / 1902 votes for the
Democrats, whereas the dispatch as re-
ceived shows gain of 80 for the Republi-
cans. When the Press and Herald can't
even publish the press dispatches without
mixing their lies with them, what can its
readers expect to find in it that is reliable?

abuse, and now they even tamiAr with

MORE TAXES FOR THE POOR.

The message of Governor Brown to the
last General Assembly contained certain
recommendations for increasing the rev.
enues of the State which are now worthy
of special attention. His friends took oc-
casion while the message was being pre-
pared to encourage the hope that it was to
propose certain important and valuable
financial measures to relieve the people of
the embarrassments burdening them. AS
General Brown is again before the people
asking their suffrages for new lease OF
power, it is right they should understand
his views on question of such vital i'm
portance as that to which we have referred.
We have his message before us. 1t was
prepared and presented to the
Legislature at an important period
in our history. We were oppressed with
a heavy debt and general stagnation in
business. The people expected from the
Governor and the Legislature generous.
liberal policy to help us out of our troub-
les.
When we examine Gen. Browns recon-
mendations, they are briefly stated these
First, he proposes to relieve our financial
embarrassments by levying tax of two
dollars upon every suit brought before a
Magistrate. He says there are three thou
sand Justices in the State, and if they ay-
erage each twenty-five cases in a year
it would make seventy-fve thousand
suits, yielding $15O,OOO. This policy is a
direct tax upon the poorer classes, who
are the persons mostly engaged in litigation
before Magistrates. The rich itigate in the
higher courts. His second recommendation
to raise revenue is, to tax the execution
of the bonds of trustees" There are thir-
ty thousand of these bonds, he says, exc
cuted every year, and the revenue would
be considerable. Here is another PROPOSE
ton to increase the burdens of the poor.
