There was nothing significant in the action
of the Maine Republicans, Yesterday, at their
State Convention. Mr.. Nelson Dingley, who
was nominated for Governor, has probably
some local repute, but is not known outside
of the State. Ex-GOv. Kent, elected on the
Whig ticket as long ago as 1887 and 1910, was
one of the candidates before the Convention,
but was only third in the race. The resolu-
tions were as virtuous as such declarations
usually are, denouncing various things out of
reach demanding economy, and approving the
Credit Mobilier investigation by Congress-.
Of course, we are left to infer that the cause
which provoked that famous investigation is
not to be approved. This is year for mild
politics in Maine, as elsewhere, and tho sue
cess of tho ticket just nominated is not likely
to be seriously contested, unless the Temper
ance party make diversion to revenge them
selves for having no place in tho platform
which was adopted yesterday.

Yesterday was an earnest of what we may
expect for Summer weather. The thermometer
marked ninety-fve in the shadej and ten
cases Of sunstroke are reported. There are
many, doubtless, who think this a fearful
spell of weather, forgetting that we had tiercer
heats last year much earlier in the Summer.
In the Summer of 1872 we had long term OF
severely hot weather before the middle OF
June, with many sunstrokes. The present
season is uneOmmOnly dry, though compare
lively cool one until yesterday, which was the
hottest day of this Summer.

Preparing Tobacco Beds.

A VIRGINIA Farmers Club, discussing
the proper manner Of preparing tobacco
beds for sowing, agreed that as matter
Of economy burning should be dispensed
with, except on such land as actually re-
quired it; not that burning was Of no use,
but not necessary, and by emitting it
much wood and labor would be saved.
The following plan, without burning, has
long been successfully practiced by
members of the club: Select a place in
woods of original growth, as far as pos
sible from arabic lands and old plant
beds; grub, and clean off all leaves and
trash; then coulter the bed deep and
well, turning as little of the surface soil
as possible. Sow / 200 pounds of guano
per acre, and rake it in, leaving the sur
face of the bed level. Sow the seed, one
pipeful to every ten square yards, tread
them in and cover well, first with stable
manure, then with brush. Would resow
the first Of March, and hasten the plants,
if necessary by frequent applications of
fertilizers. Wonld not select very moist
places for plant beds. relying on deep cul-
tivation for moisture. To prevent fly
would use kerosene, mixed with lime and
guano Fly would not injure plants while
IN rapidly growing condition.
We may remark that in the West, where
guano is practically unattainable on &C
count of its cost, the pulverized manure
of poultry of pigeons will answer the
purpose as We'll

Uncle Zeke's Joke.

SOME years ago there lived in one of
our large cities an eccentric character
known as Uncle Zeke, who never lost a
chance Of perpetrating practical Joke
Any place or occasion suited him, provid
ed he could make his point. One fine
Sunday he repaired to a fashionable
church, some time after the services had
commenced, and, as there was not seat
vacant, he took a prominent position in
the center aisle, where he stood bolt up
right, with his stovepipe hat clapped
tightly On his head. Of course he at
tracted much attention, and very soon
the sexton, man for whom Uncle Zeke
had an especial dislike, crept up to him
and whispered that he must take off his
hat
That's agin my principles" said
UBclc Zeke.
81 can't help that" said the sexton
impatienty, "you must take it off"
"But WON'T" said Zeke.
''Then I shall take it off for you," said
the sexton, who was becoming very nerv-
Gus on account of the attention this
whispered co1oquy had occasioned.
"All right" said Uncle Zeke, "you
kin take it off, That AMT agin my prin-
ciples."
The sexton thereupon took hold of the
rim of Uncle Zeke's hat, and dexterously
lifted it off his head. But what was the
respectable sections horror when about
two quarts of hickory nuts fell out of the
hat and went Gathering and rolling over
the floor.
That was Uncle Zeke's joke.

INCONSISTENCY.

AGAINST the curtained pane, beloved.
The snow beats thick and fast,
The wild winds sorrOwful refrain
Al Is telling of the past
And in the old familiar chair,
Beside the hearth fires glow,
sit and sing the tender air
You loved so long ago.
All. often since the springs, beloved,
Have bloomed above your rest,
| breathe the sweet old song that sings
Itself within my breast
As children in the cherries days
When winter darkly lowers,
Retrace the gardens sodden ways.
And talk of last years flowers.
It never seemed to you, beloved.
When we walked hand in hand.
Amid the sunshine and the deW
OF Youths enchanted land
1t never seemed to you or me
That could sing or smile
IF YOU were lying silently
Within your grave the while
We thought we could not live, beloved,
If we were torn apart
That earth would have no more to give
To either stricken heart:
Alas the change that time has wrought
Your grave has held you long,
And in the home where you are not,
sing the dear old sOngl
Do Won look back to me, beloved,
From out your happy sphere,
And deem me false, that can be
Alive and you not here?
Death does not always bring its bal
To every aching ill
Life may outlast the dearest charm,
And heart break does not Kill.
1t would have been the same, beloved,
Had been first to die
Another love had worn your name,
More dear, perchance, than L;
All, after all these weary years,
Would you more constant be?
And would you drop these bitter tears
And sing the song for me?
