What H. g. KneU about tho Democratic
Party in March, 1866.

"This election disclosed what elections
elsewhere in the North demonstrate, that
the old Democratic, party is reduced to a
skeleton, and can nowhere stand against
the Opposition, il the elements Of the Op.
position will combine. This party, so
long invincible through the charm OF its
name and the drill OF its organization, is
stripped OF its power and trembles upon
the verge of dissolution. II the 0pposi.
ton will only be wise, it has the power to
extinguish it at blow. The great trai.
torous combination which, in the name of
Democracy, has dared to strike a parrici.
dal blow at the cause of Freedom and
progress on this Continent, may itself be
cloven down in the act. It is time when
minor differences should be forgotten, and
when all should unite 10 complete the
overthrow ofthose arch.traitorsIwho, pro-
lessipg, in their own language, TO believe
this to be niger era, have instituted
their atrocious experiment upon the
public credulity and the public sense OF
right" Tribune, March Is, 1855.

Smut in. Wheat.

Many people are afraid of sowing wheat,
because they think it is an uncertain crop,
liable to be destroyed by smut or rust. I
have grown wheat for many years, and
though have sometimes suffered from rust,
until I hit upon changing my seed every
year, I have never had particle of smut,
and no one need have any if he will only
take proper precautions. I always soak my
seed in strong brine, not blue stone water,
which I believe is good, too, but I prefer the
brine, because know it to be good put
the seed in big barrel or hogshead, half
full of the strongest brine I can make, and
stir it with stick until every grain becomes
saturated. I then skim off all the light grains
and foreign seeds which float upon the sur
face, leaving nothing but the heavy sound
wheat. I then pour off the brine and put
into a barrel fxedEon legs like lye-barrel,
with holes in the bottom covered with strong
net, which will keep in the wheat and allow
the water torun out: I then pourin the bar
rel sufficient quantity of thin, whitewash,
Qime and water which rms Through and
gives every kernel a coating of, whitewash.
After this is done spread out the seed to
dry, and then it is ready for the sower.-

A Few Sheep on the Farm.

The relative profit is much greater from a
small flock than "a large one: The grain
farmer, no matter how few his acres, can
make money by keeping a few sheep on the
farm. There is always room for them some
where, and they consume and turn into mo-
ney food that otherwise would waste. But
he must be careful not to overstock To IL
lustrate: Suppose the farmer cultivate only
eight acres, raising grain chiefly. He keeps
few cows and the necessary teams. One
fifth ofhi farm is pasture. one fifth meadow;
one planted, onespring grain. and one wheat
He thinks he has as much stock as he can
proftably keep, but if he puts on sheep to
every five acres, he will find their products
clear gain. In the spring, early, they can
run. on the sod which is!to be planted, and
one sheep to each acre will not hurt the land,
J they will live well. After that they can
60 into the pasture, and they will CLEAN after
the COWS to advantage. A run on the stub
bles after harvest will not be felt where each
sheep has two acres and in the fall there is
plenty of feed. Throug ghs the winter they
can be well kept on what the Others would
not consume with the addition ofa little
grain. Probably the most profitable are some
ofthe coarser wooled, mutton breeds. Their
lambs sell to the butchers for high prices,
and when fat the sheep fetch as much as a
yearling steer Sixteen mutton sheep, we'll
managed, would produce yearly income of
one hundred dollars, where, if none were
kept, nething would be realized. The great
est drawback is liability to loss by dogs; and
it is disgrace to any Ssate to protect its
ours 80 we'll that they expel, to a certain e1-
tent: the only animal which can cheaper the
meat and clothing of the people.

"CHIcAGo BOUND 70 Re AHEAD."-An
amusing diversion was created by a tall,
well-knit and rather rugged specimen Of hu-
nianity, who stood gazing at the fire with the
deepest interest. Every now and then he
would takea vigorous bite at.a, large hunk
of tobacco and chew. with an energy that
knew no tagging, but without taking his
eyes from the fire which appeared to fascinate
him. As the flames made headway, he NOV
ed uneasily, shifted his weight from one foot
to the other, and chewed with renewed ami,
nation. Each new building that fell prey
to the fire seemed to cause him to experience
the most poignant despair. His glance was
not so strongly marked by sympathy as by
anxiety. His sallow jaws seemed to elon-
gate with every fresh building that went
down. His dress and appearance did not
betokena man who had any enormous amount
of property at stake, and the general impress
sion among those who observed him was that
his alarm was caused by prospect of losing
his situation. Presently, when the flames
seemed as though they would engulph the
whole city, he turned his pale face from the
flames, and addressinga party by his side,
exclaimed, with no less pride than digust:

The DucaI Turnout.

The elegant carriage in which the
Grand Duke Alexis has been riding
around our city, was furnished by the
veteran livery stable man, Joe Seligman.
The carriage is an exact counterpart oil
that famous one driven by Colonel james
Fisk, jr., during his lifetime, and cost
sixteen hundred dollars in New York
city. The team which Joe harnessed up
to The carriage cannot be purchased Tor
love or money. 1t is by far the finest
turnout in the city, and was much adj
mired by Alexis. Joe does not intend
to keep this carriage for general hire. II
will be reserved for the families of our
citizens who desire delightful ride. In
a few days Seligman will have another
carriage to match the ducal vehicle, and
will be ready to supply ladies and gentle
men at the shortest notice. Everybody

THE JUKE.
The Last OF His Royal Presence in
Memphis.

His imperial highness took drive
around the city yesterday afternoon at
the invitation Of the committee of re-
ception, and was shown everything that
could be supposed to be of interest to
his royal highness. Five carriages were
employed for the accommodation Of the
duke, his suite and the committee.
The pas;y drove first to the cotton shed
of MesSrs. Busby & Johnson, where Col.
Pinson explained the uses and necessi-
ties Of that institution. They then
passed along Front street to the grocery
and commission house Of Messrs Estes,
Fiser q Pinson to examine the McGee
premium bale Of cotton. After examin-
ing the aeecy staple while the party
drove up to the county jail and made a
survey of that model building, the cot
ton mill and oil press in the navy yard,
and every place Of interest in the neigh
borhood, including Happy Hollow. The
ducal party we're then driven out Market
street and around the city generally, the
beauties of our Jail and public school
system being explained to him mean
while. With both of these he expressed
himself Vas much pleased. He was
especially pleased with our county Jail,
of which he made thorough examina-
ton, though morning paper says he
was very much surprised that the priso-
nerS should be kept idle, while persons
not charged with any crime are forced
to do something for their support. In
the evening select party were invited
to the Peabody Hotel, and an i'm

tainment of the duke.

Assembly Hall last night. The weather,
it is to be regretted, was very unpropi-

somely decorated and presided over by
the most polite and attentive of ladies.
A number of pretty things are displayed
to advantage on the various tables, some
of which are to be rallied, others sold

gold watch to the most popular county

FATAL ARRAY.
Killed by Deputy sheriff shrayer.

AAAheu W DcRoeS - -
John L. Norton, Esq, a well known
magistrate Of this city, was shot and
killed at his residence, opposite the
Mississippi and Tennessee depot, by +.
A. Shrayer, about dark yesterday eve
ming. 1t appears that shrayer had twice
called at Norton's house for the purpose
of serving a subpoena. Squire Norton
refused to recognize the authority Of
Shrayer, and would not hear him read
his summons. Last evening SLTs5eT,
having business in the neighborhood OF
Squire Norton's residence, concluded he
would make another effort to serve the
summons. When he reached the house
Squire Norton was not at home, and
Shrayer sat down to await his coming.
A half hour later Squire Norton entered
the house and passed directly into his
sleeping room, whittier he was followed
by the deputy sheriff. Squire Nor
ton, upon noticing the presence
Of Shrayer, told him to go away
that the service had during the
day was sufficient, and that he would
appear in the morning. Shrayer.replied
that he was duly authorized, and draw
ing a pistol, held that in his right hand
and the summons in his left hand.
Squire Norton then said to him, that he
must be puppy not to leave the house
when ordered, and taking hold of him
the Squire attempted to eject him forcl
bly,. When near the door, Shrayer fell
and Norton on top Of him. At thii
junctura Shrayer fred the fatal shot
when Squire Merton clapped his hands
to his side, and exclaiming, u an
shot" walked into his room and lait
down on his bed. Medical attention wai
promptly obtained, but without avail
He died about half-past 10 o'clock. An
inquest was soon after held by Coronei
Moffatt, and verdict rendered in &C
cordance with the above facts.
Immediately after the shooting Shrey
err was arrested and taken to the upper
district station house where he remained
during the night. Shrayer was brought
before Squire Elliott for examination
when the case was continued until
Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock, and
Shrayer remanded to Jail without bail.

House rambling.

Last evening about nine o'clock,
during the heavy rain storm, the build
ing occupied by Mr.. T. W. O'Donnell,
on Adams street, near MAN,, tumbled
down. The side wall bulged out and
fell and the roof tumbled in in few
seconds. Fortunately for several per-
sons who were in the building, the splin-
tering of the glass gave them sufficient
warning, and they had time to escape
from beneath the falling timbers. Mr..
O'DonnelIs loss is estimated at about
5000, principally in bar fixtures. The
building is owned by Mrs. DR.. Thu
nell, Iwhose loss is estimated at about
$1,000. Nothing but the front wall and
about twenty feet of the side walls we're
left standing. The building will be re-
paired Immediately.
