[From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.]

Geneva, H.. Oct. 4.
To the Editor:
SIR: General John F. Farnsworth made
a public speech at st. Charles, ILL.,, in
August last, which has been by him re-
vised and by the Chicago Tribune put in
documents of the Greeley and Brown
party, and it is now being sent into all
sections of the country, by the Executive
Committee OF this party, as one of its
most highly valued productions, which is
expected to convict and fix on General
Grant and his Administration corruption,
dishonesty and profigacy.
In this speech Mr.. Farnsworth assigns
his reasons for supporting Greeley and
Brown rather than giving it to General
Grant and Wilson. The most prominent
of these reasons assigned by him in that
speech is that one in which he charges
General Grant and his Administration
with "wastefully and extravagantly using
the public money" This charge is made
the prominent and chief reason assigned.
In one instance in making this charge he
uses the following language: "There
should be change of Administration.
have been member of Congress thirteen
years, and truth compels me to say that
during that time there has been the most
wasteful and extravagant use of the
public money" This sweeping charge
being made by Mr. Farnsworth, it was in.
tended and expected to produce a feeling
of mistrust, doubt, and want of conf
dence in the integrity and honesty of
General Grant and his Administration
and that such a statement and charge, EN-.
anating from him, who has had every
means of knowing whether it was true
would most certainly create very
conviction in the minds of many
18th, and induce many honest Re.
$ to mistrust the purity, honesty
1ence Of the Government, and

A French ROmaRcer.

Our own newspapers, says Appleton's
Journal, enterprising and inventive as
they are, do not inform US of all the sur
prising things that happen in this coun-
try, as, for example, witness the follow
ing from the Paris Figaro:
"It is known that the road from San
Francisco TO New York passes through
the reservations Of several tribes of In
dians, who invariably regard the locomo-
tives as terrible monsters created by the
Manitou to exterminate the red man.
Several times already the Indians have
attempted to throw the trains off the
track. In these enterprises they were
led by one of the fiercest of their chiefs,
a Cherokee named Naha, and surnamed
the MOckipg- Bird. All their attempts hav-
ing failed, Naha resolved to change his tao
tics. Accordingly, on the 2d of June
last, he concealed himself near the rails,
and, with extraordinary activity, bounded
upon the footboard of the train No. 81,
from San Francisco to New York. He
then slipped along the train until he
reached the locomotive, where he killed
the fireman with blow of his tomahawk,
stabbed the engineer with his knife, and,
after scalping them, jumped on the ten
der, brandishing the scalps, and
bowling out savage war-song. The
settlers along the line became terrified as
they saw the train, which now dashed
along at a fearful speed, driven by the
ferocious engineer. The passengers all
cried out for help. Their situation was
extremely perilous-in fact, they were
running into the jaws of death. Finally,
an officer of the navy, Henry Pierce, de-
termined to sacrifice himself to save his
fellow w-passengers. Armed with long
dirk-knife, he ran along the foot-board of
the train and jumped upon the engine.
The chief uttered war-cry and BRAN
dished his tomahawk, and hand to-
hand struggle was commenced over the
bodies of the engineer and fireman. The
passengers put their heads out of the
windows, and, with an anxiety which
may easily be imagined, tried to see the
fight. In about minute Mr.. Pierce fell
mortally wounded under Mocking Bird,
who, in the twinkling of an eye, scalped
him. But, while he was triumphantly
waving the scalp of his victim in the air,
Mr.. Pierce, who was still lying, had suf-
ficient strength to jump up and lunge his
knife into the Indians breast, killing him
instantly. He then crawled to the valve
handle, shut off the steam, and the train
stopped. The passengers ran to the
assistance of this brave officer, but it was
too late; he died two hours afterward."

The Lobster.
BY A BOY.

WHEN a lobster shakes hands with you
YOU always know when it takes hold, and
is exceedingly pleased when it gets done.
They have small features, and lay no
claim to good looks. When they locomote,
they resemble small boy shuffling off in
his fathers boots. They are backward,
very. They even go ahead backward.
They occasionally have row like people,
and in the melee lose member, but have
the faculty of growing out another. The
process is patented both in this country
and Europe, which accounts for not COM
ing into general use with the human lob
ster, so to speak.
A lobster never cUmes on shore unless
he is carried by force. They are afflicted
with but one disease, and that is boils.
There is more real excitement in harpoon-
ing whale, or in having the measles,
than there is in catching Holsters.
The fisherman provides himself with a
small hen-coop, and places in it for en-
ticers several dead fish. He then rows
his boat to the lobster ground (which is
water) and sinks his coop to the bottom,
and anchors it to small buoy, Zone from
eight to ten years will do), and then goes
home. When he feels like it again, say in
the course of week or so, he goes back
and pulls his poultry house, and if he has
good success he will find the game inside
! the coop.
AS an article of food, the real goodness
of the lobster is in the pith. Very few
persons relish the skin, aud physicians
say it is hard to digest. We, therefore,
take the lobster and boil it until it is
ready to eat. Nothing is better for collie
than boiled lobster 1t will bring on q
case when cucumbers have failed. For q
sudden case, we advise them crumbled in
milk. Eaten at the right time, and in
proper quantities, Holsters stands second
to no fluit known.

English Rules for Preserving Fruit.

THE London Garden gives the following
as the rules of the Royal Horticultural
Society for the preservation of choice
fruit:
1. AS the flavor of fruit is 50 easily af-
fected by heterogeneous odors, it is high
ly desirable that apple and pear rooms
should be distinct.
g The walls and the floor should be
annually washed with solution of quick
lime.
3. The room should be perfectly dry,
with as uniform temperature as prac-
ticable, and be well ventilated but there
should not be through draft.
4. Use the utmost care in gathering
fruit, handling as little as possible.
D. For present use fruit should be well
better, especially with pears, that it
should not have arrived at complete
maturity. This point, however, requires
considerable judgment.
6. No imperfect fruit should be stored
with that which is sound, and all more or
less decayed specimens should be imme-
diately removed
Z. If placed on shelves the fruit should
not lie more than two days, and no straw
should be used.
s. Where especially clear and beauti-
| ful specimens are wanted they may be
packed carefully in dry bran, or in layers
of perfectly dry cotton wool, either in
closed boxes or in large garden pots.
| Scentless sawdust will answer the same
purpose, but pine sawdust is apt to COM
municate an unpleasant. taste.
o. With care, early apples may be kept
until Christmas while many kinds may
be preserved in perfection to second
year.
The rules given by American fruitgrow-
ers agree very we'll with the above, but
make especial mention that fruit rooms
for slow ripening should he nearly dark,
and the temperature low. Light and heat
hasten maturity, and next, of course, de-
composition.

Secure Your Seed Corn.

1t is something in the kind of corn to
be grown. That which has been accus-
toned to do well in locality is the corn
for that locality, and needs but superior
cultivation to make it superior crop
There is something in selecting the best
ears, and this is generally done. stalks
having two ears of good size are common
ly looked for, or at least this is the prac-
tice to some extent. But it is doubtful
whether there is much in this, as good
cultivation, good land, and the corn well
apart, so as to admit Gun and air well, are
the main things, and will produce large
ears and two to the stalk; and this is the
case where a small ear is planted, so that
it is the cultivation and the nature of the
soil that are to be depended upon. This
is the experience.

GreeIey's Pittsburgh Speech.
HEADQUARTERS VETERAN COMMITTEE,

FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL,
| New YORK CITY, September IS, 1872.
| To the Soldiers and Sailors who served in the
| Union Army and Navy during the late War:
COMRADES We, your representatives,
met at Pittsburgh and adopted series of
| resolutions which you have already seen.
| You have discovered that we have expressed
sentiments which are entertained almost
unanimously by the veterans of the country.
| In view of the fact that Mr.. Greeley has
| charged as with the desire to engender feel
| ings of hate toward the survivors of those
| who were in armed rebellion against the
| Government, we desire to reiterate our wish
that all differences may be obliterated, with
this single condition, that under no circum-
stances will we support a man for chief
magistrate of the nation who in the hour of
his country's greatest danger, did not ap-
preciate the situation, and by words and
acts step forward to its defense.
We deny that any single word, either in
the speeches or the platform of that Conven-
tion, justifes Mr.. Greeley in the remarks
which he uttered at Pittsburgh, and his en-
tire lack of courtesy toward the soldiers and
! sailors who assembled there, serves to con-
| firm US in the opinion that he is quite unfit
| to be trusted in any position where loyalty
| to his Government, just regard for the feel
| ings of others, and an abnegation OF self is
required. We believe he will live long enough
| to regret the slanderous utterances he made
On that occasion.
1t only remains for us to impress upon you
the great Importance of the issues which are
presented to you, and to urge that you will
| organize throughout the entire country in
harmony with the regular Republican organ
izations, and do all in your power to re-elect
General Grant Chief Executive of the Gov
ernment for four years more, and thereby
complete the great work you began in 1861.

In Governor Wells great speech, made
in Petersburg last night friday, after
commenting upon Mayor Keiley's in
dorsement of the Ku-Klux organization,
he read the following extract from the
Mayors speech at Petersburg on Wednes-
day night:
'What shall say of the dummy driving
his horse along the Jersey beach and cali
ing himself Presidents"
/ know, said the Governor, Mayor
Kelley is an accomplished scholar
gentleman noted for his refinement and
culture ordinarily courteous and polite
| am surprised that he, of all men, the
chief magistrate of the queenly city of
Richmond, who knows so well what
decent respect requires, should have
been betrayed into the use of such grossly
improper language but as he asked the
question, l answer:
Who was the matchless hero of Donel-
son, Shiloh, and Vicksburg?
1.-The dummy who drives his horse along
the Jersey beach %
Who was it that led hundred thous-
and heroes to victory over Lee and
his before unconquered army from the
Rapidan to the Wilderness-to the
James, TO Petersburg, to Richmond, and
the old apple tree at Appomattox
'It was the dummy driving his horse
along the Jersey beach"
Who was it that planned, that f1anked,
that fought, that shelled, that charged at
Steadman, at Fort He'll, and Fort Damna-
ton?
"It was the dummy driving his horse
along the Jersey beach p'
Who was it that seized the tiger of Sc
cession by the throat, and, holding him
there, said to those who caviled, to those
who hoped and to those who feared "I'll
fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer ?"

Potatoes.
Exchange

We have all observed the great dete-
rioration in our potato crops during the
past ten or twenty years, and what is the
cause of this alarming decrease of tubers?
Can science or chemistry point out the
reason, or aid in rcmedying the diff
Guilty. We think it can; and, in order
to place the matter in clear light, we
will point out the kind and amount of
food which the potato demands.
We had a field of potatoes upon the
farm which yielded 500 bushels to the
acre; this may be regarded as an old
fashioned crop. This crop removed
from the soil, in tubers and tops, at
least 400 pounds of potash; also it re-
moved $50 pounds of phosphoric acid.
Now these amounts are very large, and
serve to show that the potato plant is a
great consumer of the two substances,
and it also shows that in order to restore
our potato field to its former productive
condition, we must apply phosphate
compounds and substances holding
potash in large quantities.
For six or eight generations in New
England our fathers have been exhaust.
ing the soil by removing these agents in
their potatoes and other crops, and we
have reached time when the vegetable
is starving in our fields for want of its
proper food. Our farmers have found
that new land gives the best crops, and
this is due to the fact that such fields af
ford the most potash; but so long as we
crop our pastures so unreasonably, we
cannot resort to new land, as land is not
new that has had its potash and phos-
phatic elements removed by grazing
animals.
Remember that q potato field which
gives but 100 bushels to the acre requires
at least 100 pounds of potash, but by al
lowing the tops to decay upon the field
sixty pounds of this is restored to the
soil again, as that amount is contained in
them; a medium crop of potatoes re-
quires twice as much phosphoric acid
as a medium crop of wheat, so that in
two years, with wheat, the land is de-
prived of no more of the agent than it
loses in one year with potatoes. Boston
