PARTY LINES DROPPED.

In Yuba county, where the people Lave
long and patiently borne the burden of
heavy taxation, aid monopoly
oppression, and have in common with us
and other counties, had men IMPOSED upon
them who have disgraced and corrupted
their official positions, have disregarded
their pledges, and turned deaf ear to the
demands of their constituents, the citizens
have issued call for a mass meeting of the
independent voters of the county, to take
place at .Marysville on the twenty-seventh
day of June yesterday. This cali is signed
by about sixty among the best and most
substantial men in the county, regardless of
former party ties, or political affiliations.
The object of the meeting is "to take into
consideration the propriety of nominating a
Legislative ticket Of good men, pledged to
retrenchment and reform, and known to be
in accord with the wisl es of the people on
the important issues' of the present time;
also the nom ination of county ticket OF
good men to be voted for at the ensuing
election" This is a bold and decisive move
ment, and headed as it is by able and hon
est men, it must result in much good. We
learn from private source that the Dem
ocratic party will make no nominations, as
great majority of them favor this move;
many prominent men of the Republican
party are signers of the call, and all the
honest, anti-monopoly, anti-corruption mem
bers of the party favor 1t. This party,
styling themselves "Independent Voters"
will put up ticket of tried, true, honest
men, which is sure to win. Another ticket
will be placed in the field by the Stanford
Gorham- railroad-monopoly element of both
the old parties, and all the support it gets
will be from the back-salary-monopoly-
corruptionists, and their duped hunkes;
while the other party is supported by men of
pure motives and devoted to a good cause.
What more noble act of independent man
hood can we ask !? What greater sacrifice
for freedom and justice can we desire, than
to see men, heretofore anayed against
each other, dropping party lines, burying
party prejudces, and rushing hand in hand
to meet thefoe, the enemy ftheir liberties
determined to win victory for good cause,
determined to free their county from corrup
ton and oppression more blighting than the
rod of the tyrant. May victory attend the
noble efforts Of these gallant men of Yuba
county the home of many of CALIFORNIA;
most distinguished sons.

Nor THE MAN.-Gen. Garfield, in long
letter in reply to the resolutions Of a recent
Republican convention, in Ohio, calling up
on him TO resign his seat in Congress be-
cause he voted for tie back pay salary steal,
says he is not the man; it was Grant who
did the mischief His vote didn't make it
law; Grants signature did. Not only this,
but Grant lobbcd for the bill from the first
and evinced even more anxiety in the mat
ter than d'Butler himself No wonder he
asks, if 'he ought to resign what ought
Grant do? The factis, It's getting rather
warm for Modocs and Mobiers, and no
matter which one you corner, he will tell
you he is not the man.

For Potato Planters.

The late John G. Thompson of Staten
Island was always signally successful in
getting large yield of full grownpota-
toes two to three weeks earlier than his
neighbors, on the same character Of soil.
His plan (Which he never tried to con
ceal from those interested in gardening)
we eptomize for the benefit of our
readers: From the middle to the latter
part of March the large tubers were cut,
leaving two eyes on each piece, and these
pieces were placed close together, eyes
up, ia shallow wooden boxes, having in
them layer of about two inches of sand.
The seed was covered with the same
thickness of sand, and the boxes were
then placed in warm house cellar, and
in week or so would begin to sprout,
without further care, beyond giving them
few light waterings, in case the sand
became dry on top. 1n the course of
three or four weeks, and by the time the
ground became dry and warm enough for
planting, these potatoes in the boxes
would have sprouts as inch or two in
length and an abundant supply of healthy
TuOl. LII tuC nCuu tlinC AHC Stouuu "aS
prepared for planting in the ordinary
way-using a liberal alownce of well
rotted manure. When the drills were
opened, and everything in readiness for
planting, the boxes were carried out and
the sprouted seed placed along the drill,
l5 inches apart and at once covered with
mellow soil With ordinary care in TAX
ing the seed from these boxes and trans
planting. the growth will not be checked
10 the least, aud, with warm weather, in
few days the young tops are well above
ground While potatoes planted in the
common way have not yet sprouted, this
gives clear gain of from two to three
weeks, on the date of ripening, with
much more certainty of an even stand OF
stalks, aud of course larger yield from a
given space. 1t is not supposed. OF course,
that large potato growers will prepare
and plant their whole crop in this way
but the method is practical and we'll
worthy of trial, on small scale at first,
by farmers who raise early potatoes for
market, while for family use the plan
seems altogether feasible.

Days Without Night.

Rev. DR.. Baird, in a recent lecture.
gave some interesting facts. There is
nothing that strikes stranger more forci
bly,, if he visits Sweden, at the season of
the year when days are longest, than the
absence of night. Dr. Baird had no con
ception of it before his arrival. He ar
rived at Stockton from Gottenbury, 400
miles distant, in the morning, and in the
afternoon went to see. some friends, had
not taken note of the tiuc, and returned
about midnight it was as light as it is
here half an hour befor suudown. You
could see distinctly.
But all was quite in the streets it seem
ed as if the inhabitants were gone away,
or were dead. No signs OF fe.-stores
closed
The sun in June goes down at Stock
holm little before 10 o'clock. There is
great illumination all night, as the sun
passes around the earth towards the north
pole, and the refraction of its.rays is such
that you can see to read at midnight. DR..
Baird read letter in the forest, near
Stockholm, at midnight, without artificial
light. There is mountain at the head
OF Bothnia, where on the 2lst of June
the sun does not 60 down at all. Travellers
go there to sec it. A steamboat goes up
from Stockholm for the purpose of carry
ing those who are curious to witness the
phenomenon. 1t only occurs one night.
The sun goes down to the horizon, you
can see the whole face of it, and in five
minutes it begins to rise
At the North Cape, latitude - degrees
the sun does not go down for several
weeks. In June it would be about 25
degrees above the horizon at midnight =

night, they see the sun rise. The changes
in these high attitudes, from Summer to
Winter, are so great that We can have no
conception of them at all. In the winter
time the sun disappears and is not seen
for weeks Then it comes and shows its
face. Afterwards, it remains for ten, fif-
teen. or twenty minutes, and then de-
scends, and ioaly it does not set at ALL
but makes almost Il circle around the
heavens. Dr. Baird was asked how they
managed in regard to hired persons, and
what the considered day. He could not
say, but supposed they worked by the hour,
and twelve hours would be considered
days work. Birds and animals take their
accustomed rest at usual hours The
Doctor did not know how they learned
the time, but they had and they go to
rest whether the sun goes down or not
The hens take to the trees about Z p. NJ,
and stay there until the sun is up 10 the
the morning and the people get into this
habit of late raising too. The first morn
ing DR.. Baird awoke in Stockholm he
was surprised to see the sun shining into
his room. He looked at his watch, and
found it was only 3 O'Clock the next
time he awoke, it was o'clock but there
was no person in the streets, The Swedes
in the cities arc not very industrious, ow-
ing probably to the climate.

drawn crooked with pain, together with
the severe sickness attending the disease,
his tongue was swollen so that he could

given up almost all hope of ever recover

hands in it, it was furnished. and no soon

Farmers SWindled.

1t is astonishing how many farmers are
the victims of all sorts of swindlers.-
They can be induced to buy fruit trees
of agents whom they never saw before,
and pay two prices, with the probability
that the fruit will he small and tasteless !;
they will listen with open mouths to a
smooth tougued fellow describing worth
less invention or patent right, and they
will almost sign their names in blank, by
which they get swindled out of hundreds
of dollars. In fact there is no miserable
game in which farmers cannot be induced
to engage. But it is to be said that these
victims do not read, and that they de-
spise agricultural papers. An authority
asserts that there are many thousands OF
farmers in Illinois who never see paper,
aud this is true of many farmers even in
all the States. A few years ago hund
dreds of farmers were Induced to sign
what turned out to be notes Of hand, with
the inducenent that they were to become
agents Of some wonderfully profitable
machine. The only remedy is for farm
ers to become informed, and to do so they
must take some paper which is devoted
to their interests and read it every week,
The time so spent will often save them
more money than all their labor can
bring.

Fattening Young Women

Throughout the interior of Afric,, and
indeed, in some parts Of Asia, a woman is
priced for fatness. Beauty is associated
with excessive obesity and such being
public sentiment, mothers seasonab!y
commence a system of dietic treatment
that makes their daughters irresistible -
Colonel Heating gives an account Of the
processes of fatteniDg young women for a
Tunis market. As soon as betrothed, she
is cooped up in small room, with gold
shackles on her ankles. Ii her protector
has lost wife by death, or divorced one.
their anklets are sent forwards for the
new matrimonial candidate. When she
has attained desirable size, indicated by
filling the pattern rings, she is carried in
triumph to her new home.
The preparations of food that actually
produces the coveted dimeusion-moun-
tain of fattness--is called draught. made
of the seed of a vegetable peculiar to this
country. Some positively die from ex
cessive fatness in an effort to surpass in
that bewitchiug accomplishment rival
candidates for matrimonial positions
These famous mortals are not the poor
girls. They are the highest orders of
society," and therefore are ambitious, like
fashionabes in some civilized States of
securing an elevated position with a rich
husband. Bruce, the traveller, saw a
great queen in Africa gem of wo
man, the envy of her sex aud wife hun
ters-who weighed over four hundred
pounds.
Can science explain the actions of these
seeds philosophically?" :"

Home Hints About Diet.

Most chronic diseases, and many acute
ones, are produced at the table. As a
rule, no fluid of any kind should be taken
at the table, especially if the stomach is
weak. The stomach should never be
overloaded not more than two or three
articles should be taken at one meal no
stimulants used before eating; tobacco
arrests digestion. Milk is the best diet
for Infants and children. Tomatoes with
cream and sugar are healthy aud nutri-
tious Bread and butter is the staff of
life, and easily digested. Too much salt
irritates the stomach Colds are fire.
quent!y produced by drinking hot tea
and exposure afterwards Late suppers
induce heart disease. Pastry and cake
constipate the bowels Boiled potatoes
are not so healthy as baked ones. Fruits
are to be eaten at breakfast and dinner
The stomach requires much rest to be
healthy purgative medicines weaken the
bowels. Cheerful conversation promotes
digestion aud anger prevents it.

How Quakeress Stopped a Neighbor'S
B0rroWig.

The subject of borrowing and lending
came up in the course of conversation
with subscriber living near Ithaca, when
he suddenly recollected funny reminis
cence of that character which had hap
pened in his own neighborhood. He said
he bad a neighbor whose family were
great borrowers, but not so distinguished
as aymasters-they we're always borrow
ing, but seldom if ever returning the ex
act amount borrowed. An old Quaker
lady, another neighbor, who had endured
these invasions for long time patiently,
hit upon very philosophical mode Of
eventually putting stop to the Nuisance,
Keeping her own counsel, the next time
her good man went to town, he had Sc
parate and express order to purchase a
pound of the best tea, and also new eau
ister to put it in, as he knew she already
had plenty OF tea. aud also canister, he
was puzzled to determine what the old
lady wanted of more tea and new canis
ter, but his questioning and rcasonings
ELECTED nothing more than repetition of
the o;der:
''Jim, did not tell thee to get me a
pound of the best tea and a new canis
ter? Now. 20 along and do As bid thee" +"
And 60 along he did, and when he
came home at night the tea and new can
lister were his companions The old lady
took them from him with an amused ex
preston on her usual placid features, and
depostipg the tea in the canister, set it
on the shelf for a special use. 1t had
not long to wait, for the borrowing neigh
bor lad frequent use for the aromatic
herb. The good old lady loaned gen
erously, emptying back in the canister
any remittance of borrowed teas which the
neighbor's conscience inclined her to
make. Time went on, and after some
thing less than the one hundredth time
of borrowing, the neighbor again appear
ed for ''just another drawing of tea, y
when the oft-visited tea canister was
brought out, aud found to be empty, aud
the good old lady and obliging neighbor
was one pound of tea poorer than when
she bought the new canister, which now
only remained to tell the story. Then
she made little characteristic speech,
perhaps the first in her life she said
Thou seest that empty conister. filled
it for thee with a pound of my best tea,
and have let it all to thee in driblets,
and put into it all thou hast sent me in
return, and none but thyself hath taken
there, from or added unto it, and now
thou scest it empty therefore l will say
to thee, thou hast borrowed thyself out,
and can lend thee no more - WeeLly

Plant Corn Early.

while all that near the surface sprouted

aud badly filed out at the end. My field
corn was worked we'll, while no labor was
bestowed upon the volunteer piece, and
upon fair estimate the volunteer corn
was one half the best.
This accident became my instructor to
plant early under light cover, just clev-
erly hiding the corn from sight and scent
of mice aud the foraging army of corn
robbng animals. Having done SO, | have
abuudautly proved that Nebraska is equal
to any of the United States in the pro-
ducton of this great staple. 1t has been
the admiration of strangers visiting our
State to behold my 9eld of corn at grow
ing time, high up, when others along
their route were ranging from one to six
inches high, aud some just planting.
| notice, too, that all the farmers OF
Nebraska who plant early aud tend their
crops we'll have full cribs, and bear con-
curreut testimony with myself that early
planting will give corn time to mature
before the hot winds of summer injure 1T,
Our experience proves that spring irosts
are no injury to corn, for it will come
again as often as bit down.-Cor. Iowo
