A Discovery about Corn.

In this thinking and obscrvant
age now ideas and discoveries arc
constantly being made.
An intelligent and reliable far
mcr, who has for many years been
making experiments with corn,
has discovered an importance and
value in rcplantcd corn, which is
quite a novelty and worthy ofpub-
lication. We have always thought
roplantcJ corn was Of little consc-
Qucncc; ; he rcplants, whether it is
nceccd or MOTOR rather he plants
two weeks after tho crop is plant
cd, about ovcry fifteenth row each
way. lie says If tho weather

como dry and dead. In this con-
dition, if it should become season.
able, tho sill. rcvivcs and rcncws,
but the tasscl docs not rccovcr.-
Then for want Of pollon tho now
silk is upaElo to fill tho Office for
which it was designed. Tho
pollen from tho rcplantod corn is
then ready to supply tho silk, and
tho filling is completed. lie says
nearly all tho abortivo ears, so
common in tho corn crop, arc
caused by the want Of pollen, and
that ho has known ears to double
their sizo in the second filing.

Judge Bryan and Mr.. Mills.

In the proceedings Of the U.
States Court, on the Sth instant,
Mr.. Thos. S. Mills, Of Chester, who
was closely questioned by Majors
Merrill and Corbin, and excused
rs q juror by Judge Bond, adj
dressed the Court in his own be-
half begging TO be excused from
serving as IL juror under any cir
cumstances, elected tho following
remarks from Judge Bryan:
81 think it necessary to give
my Judgment OF tho matter, ire
spcctive Of the wish Of the Juror.
| ain satisfied, from the oath TAX
en-, and from the evident candor
and high character Of the Juror,
that he has not, in any way or
shape, had any completely with or
sympathy for tho Ku Klux. The
ground Of exclusion is indicated in
the oath. lie must have known
of the combination CT conspiracy,
to have acted or co-operated with
or advised them. His conduct ut
Chester seems to me to have been
in the interest Of peace and not
oppression to avoid strife and
not to make war; to promote tho
public good and the interests of
those very colorcd people and not
to lnJnrc or Cypress them; and |
say this from Il sense Of 1nty wit th :
out tho intention Of or desire to
insist upon his serving as q juror.
lfall the intelligent men Of the
State arc to be excluded on these
grounds, they arc unjustly cxclu-
dcd from the jury box, and the
citizen will not be secured in tho
rights to which he is entitled. If
| could perceive any tendency to
II sympathy with tho organiza-
ton in tho juror, | would be tho
first to reject him.

any rate, there can bo no reason
for giving over the criminals into
the hands Of the carpct-baggcrs.
What services havo these per-

If wo do not, let us mako haste
to protect society from the rava-
ges Of ignorance and rapacity, or
give society the means to protect
itself. We thought it worth four
years Of war to retain the South
crn States in tho Union now we
hardly deem it worth an act Of

bility Of Great Britain for their

Part ninth treats Of tho rcccD-

lIallty our counter case, will find

moro. Instance upon instance OF

GOV. Palner'S Lottcr.

Governor John NJ. Palmer, of
Illinois, has written II letter III cX-
planat!on Of his declining to per-
NIT his name to DO used before the
regular Republican State Convcn-
ton for denomination. That con
vcntion, he says,w,ll be controlled
to secure tho denomination and
election Of President Grant, and
continues:
"l do not Observation-Disclosures
should bo rcnominatcd by the re-
publican party, and will not say
arc familiar with my opinions
know, [ believe that all reforms
and Improvements in the dircc-
ton indicated must begin in the
State and tho first step toward
success must be to win back to
the government Of The States, the
confidence and affection of the
people. No man need expect re-
forms in the administration Of the
Federal Government until the pco-
pic assume the government OF tho
State, and enforce honesty and
good government. Tho President
and Congress arc too remote from
the people to pay any tcgrco Of
attention to their wishes; they
must be impressed by tho action
and example Of the State.
"With these viows | cannot dc.
fend or justify tho opinion acted
upon by General Grant, whom ho
ordered four companies Of infantry
into this State to act rs police,
and that dictated his approval of
the acts Of General Sheridan in
raising troops by his own autho-
rity in this State, suLjccting Chi
cago to military rulo, whereby q
pcaccablo citizcn Of the State was
unlawlully killed. These lawless
and dangerous assumptions Of au-
thoriJy cannot be defended or
apologIzcd for by me, while the
obligations Of IN oath to support
the constitution and enforce the
laws OF the State rest upon mo. If
tho powers claimed and acted
upon by the President in theso in
stances exist in him, tho State OF
Illinois is but ~ dependency Of the
government at Washington, and
tho lives rnd liberties Of Tho pco-
plo arc subject to tho will Of tho
President. TO defend these acts
Of The President is to conccdc that
tho power he claimed exists. Such
q concession by the governor
would be n crime against tho pco-
pie Of tho State. Nor could |, if q
candidate for Governor, say to the
people that President Grant has
the inclination and ability to cn.
force economy and reforms in the
government, nor will | submit my
judgment on these points to a con
vcntIon that will be nominated by
his appointccs and partIzans.
Commenting on this lcttor the
New York Tribune says:
"Governor Palmer might have
entered tho Republican Convcn-
ton, received tho nomination, and
q virtually unanimous election,
without any compromise Of his
dignity or his position as Rcpub-
lican. Tho accession Of this dis
tingnishcd Republican leader 10
tho Liberal ranks under these cir
cumstanccs is subject for sincere
con gratulation."

The Court Of Claims,
AN IMPORTANT DECISION OF TIE
SUPREME COURT.

Tho United States Supreme
Court, q short timo since, dcIiv-
cred a decision in which the fol-
lowing passage occurs:
ave havo recently held, in tho
case ofthc United States w. Klein,
that pardon, granted upon condi-
tons, blots out the offence, if proof
is made Of compliance with tho
conditions and that tho persons
so pardoncd is entitled to tho re-
storation Of tho proceeds Of cap
turcd or abandoned property, if
suit be brought within two years
after tho suppression Of the rebel
lion The proclamation Of tho
23th of December granted pardon
Internationally and without re-
scrvation. This was n public act
OF which all courts Of the United
States arc bound to tako notice,
and to which all courts aro bound
to give effect. The claim Of the
petitioner was preferred within
two years. Tho Court Of Claims,
therefore, erred in not giving the
petitioner tho benefit Of the pro-
clamation.
cts judgment must be reversed, ,
with directions to proceed in con-
formlty with this opinion"
This is tho decision under which
the Court of Claims has decided
favorably upon q number Of claims
from the South ns reported in the
kilograms Of yesterday. An at.
tempt was made by tho Senate to
flank this decision by limiting the
jurisdiction of tho Court ofClaims,
but it seems to have failed.

Red Snow.

The first recorded instance, it Is said,
of red snow having been found within
the territory of the United States, is
noticed in letter to the american Nat
uraEst. The writer was engaged in the
survey of the boundary line between
Br fish America and Washington Ter
ritery, and while looking tor place to
camp in the Cascade Mountains, at an
elevation of six thousand five hundred
feet, one of the men of his party
brought him handful of red snow, and
asked him what it was. He tasted of
it, to ascertain, if possible, the nature of
the colored matter. This act much
disguised the finder. The taste was
somewhat earthly; and an examination
of the snow with pocket lens reveal
ed the presence of very minute tadpole-
shaped bodies. When compressed, wa
ter of bloody tint oozed from it. The
color was distributed somewhat iu
bands upon the general surface of the
snow, and rarely penetrated beyond a
few inches.

Lying and Swearing.

Old Parson S., of Connecticut, was a
particular kind of person. One day
he had man blowing in his field, and
he went out to see how the work was
going on. The ground was very stony,
and every time the pillow struck stone
the man would swear little.
Look here" cried Parson S., "you
mustn't swear that way in my field"
"Well, reckon you'd swear too"
said the man, 90 if you had to pillow in
such stony field as this"
"Not bit of it," said the parson ;
" let me show YOU"
So the parson took hold of the pillow,
but he very soon had great trouble
with the stones. AS stone after stone
caught the plowshare, the parson ejacu-
lated:
"Well, | never saw the like"
And this he repeated every time q
stone stopped his onward way. When
he had plowed around once he stopped
and said to the man:
"There now! You see 1 can pillow
without swearing"
But guess it's pretty near as bac
to lie" said the man, "and you told s
dozen O. lies. Every time the pillow
struck stone, you said, 1 never saw
the like, when the same thing haC
happened the very minute before.'

A Man Attempts to swim Across the
British Channel.

A letter from Dover to the London
Times gives the following account OF the
attempt of ]. B. johnson to swim across
the British Channel:
Many thought it was a hoax, and old
salts considered it maddess to attempt
it, because it was impossible to get
across, owing to the swittness Of the
currents that run mi6-channel, and the
distance he would have to swim before
he could hope to accomplish his object.
johnson, with his breast adorned with
some twenty or thirty decorations,
walked to the pier. The steamer Pal
merston, with members OF the press,
steamed few feet away. At 1910 Mr..
Johnson appeared on the deck, attlred
in bathing costume, and, having as
cended the paddle box, he, amid the
ringing cheers of the crowd, dived into
the water in splendid style. At thestern
of the steamer small boat containing
Mr.. Johnson's brother and Mr.. Callared,
was towed along, so that, in case OF
necessity, help was Immediately at
hand. Striking out to sea, the swim
mer soon made Roadway, taking some
most powerful strokes, which appeared
10 SSQU Hill dt lOlS6 d OlSldACO VI 6iA
feet each time. johnson kept on swim
ming in splendid form, and accom-
pllshed two miles in twenty minutes.
He kept his pace, ana at ll:20 took his
first refreshments. At 1850 he again
partook of stimulants. The tide had
now taken him nearly off Folkestone,
and he then put on such a squirt that
he overhauied the steamer, which was
some distance ahead of him. On reach.
ing her, he remarked that he shonld
like something to eat, and, though he
was neither exhausted nor tired, the
surgeon saw that his circulation was
falling, and advised him to come out
This was at 1l:45 a. N. Taking his ad
vice, he got into the steamer, having
SWAN over seven miles in an hour anc
five minutes. He did not appear the
least tired, but his legs were benumbed
When he got all right he had the pluck
and desire to continue the feat, but, the
water being very rough, it was con
sidered physical impossibility to con
tiLue. He then went below, and tn,
Palmerston steamed direct for Calais
arriving at Up. IA. just before going int,
the harbor johnson appeared on decl
again, and, with his brother, jumped
into the water and performed varlou
aquatic tricks.
