Of Elisha Baxter. There are peril

islaturc, the crowning opportunity
in the lie Of Elisha Baxter was
fairly presented to him. To hls
open, manly, undisguised opposi-

feat, and the people their political
existence. Threatened with i'm
parchment, assaied with bribos,
appealed 10 by the ties OF party, and
finally, iurlously assa'led with tor
rant Of abuse and imprecatiQns, his
enemies, the enemies of Arkansas,
sought to eject him in disgrace from
the executive Office. They had
said all along that he was q weak
man, that he was timid and lacked
ncryo, and yet this weak, timid and
ncrveless man has routed and dis
armed all the forces of the enomy.
As Elisha Baxter stood by the Peo-
pie, when to do so was TO peril life
and political existence, we feel con-
lident that he is at this moment the
strongest man in the state Of Ar
kansas.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY IN
NATURAL HISTORY.

The President OF Rutgers College, New
Jersey, DR.. Campbell recently found
beneath seme of the trees in the campus
numerous carpenter bees, each minus its
head. Having called the attention o.
Rev. Samuel Lockwood, the eminent
naturalist, to the fact careful observa-
tions were made with interesting results.
II was first noted that these bees were all
of the same species, and were all honey
gatherers. The case at first appeared
one of wanton massacre the merciless be-
ing common Baltimore orioles. On max
ing more thoroughly e1"minination Of
the headlesss trunks, it was discovered
that every body was empty, the insect
having been literally eviscerated at the
annular opening made at the neck by The
separation of the head. The interesting
fact disclosed by these observations is
that these birds had learned that the
bodies of these particular bees-the
stiDgless males-were filled or contained
honey slipped from the blossoms of the
horse chestnut; and so they watched the
insects until they were fully gerged, then
dartinss upon them shipped off their heads
and always at one place, the articulations
thus showing themselves acquainted with
the anatomy of their vic,ims as veil
their hsbitssand taking advantage..of both
for the gretifca tian Of their love tor
gHrt's.

Cheese on a Largo Scale.

Messrs. Straight & Son, of Hud-
son, Ohio, on the Western Reserve,
seem to think cheese making will
pay, even where land is worth 800
per acre, and pasture $500 per
acre per year. A travelling cores
pondent of the country Gentleman
sets forth rs follows their prepare
tons for operation:
"This firm began their dairy ope-
rations at Hudson in 1867, when
they built two cheese factories and
bought another. In 1868 they built
another and they conducted four
that season. as also in 1869. Dur
ing these years they made only
cheese, bringing the cheeses all then
as now, to the Pentagon for curing.
It was, think, in the spring Of 1870
that they began to make butter and
cheese from the same milk, which
course they still pursue. In 1870
and 1871 they controlled five facto-
ries, and in 1872, six. At the open
ing of the present season they had
skin May they bought one, in Jul
ly they built one, and in September
they bought still another. AT the
present time they have eight tacto-
ries in operation, are building two
more, and yet another one will be
up by them before winter sets in.
Thus they will have in operation at
the opening of the season of 1874, if
all goes well, eleven cheese and but
ter factories, all but two of which
they will own. How many more
they will build buy, rent or absorb,
dcponeth saith not.
The eight in full operation at the
time of my visit were: Hudson,
Streetsboro, Franklin, Fish Creek,
Northampton, Boston, Twinsburgh
and Waterloo. One Of these is at
Hudson. and the rest encircle that
place at distances of two and a half
to eight miles, and at all of them
the milk is bought by the firm"
Iowa, with it's millions of acres of
pasture, does not make cheese
enough for the consumption of its
own citizens.

odious disease, the more positive is
my belief that if we would make
treatment perfectly successful in
curing it, we must use constitution

Catarrh Remedy, when used warm
and applied with Dr.. Pierce's Nasal

mon sense" rational and scientific
principles, by its mild, soothing
and healing properties, to which
the disease gradually yields, when
the system has been put in perfect
order by the use of the Golden Med
ical Discovery. This is the only
perfectly safe, scientific and sue
cessful mode of acting upon and
healing it.

White Willow Fences.

Some years ago you advertised ex-
tensiyely and recommended highly.
the white willow for hedge, and |
with many of my neighbors, was in
duced to purchase and try it. l set
about one hundred rods on the north
and west of my orchard, for the
double purpose ola hedge and wind
break. The spring was rather dry,
and consequently, not a very good
stand; and again the succeeding
spring, although well cultivated,
made poor growth in height throw
ing innumerablc small shoots from
the bottom, but making apoor show
for either wind-brcak or hedge. By
the third spring l was discouraged
and thoroughly disguised, satisfied
it was a cheat and humbug and took
my mattock to dig up, and if posi-
Bile, exterminate the pest. The
north, line was about thirty rods
long, and near the center for some
or rods was set through an old
stack-yard. Observing that they
gave evidence of more vitality and
thrift, and being very 10th to give it
up concluded to try it another
year and experiment with it. So l
took my tools and trimmed off all
the sprouts save one, as near eight
inches as I could, and cultivated the
north line well. The growth was
not only satisfactory but astonished
me. This line let grow up until
last spring when it had reached a
height of from 25 to 80 feet, and |
determined to try another expert
ment by cutting it off about four feet
from the ground, leaving one to
about every rod for shade and orna-
ment. The poles at that height were
from to inches in diameter; these
poles I cut off about six feet long,
sharpencd the butt end and drove
them in the ground two feet deep,
and about six inches apart, making
about 80 rods of hog-proof fence,
four feet high; besides without using
near all of the short pieces Of the
tops, made about 10 rods through
a pond, one or two feet high. Now.
at this writing, my old stubs are a
perfect cane break, and those l drove
all living and thrifty, bidding to
make me a solid live wood fence in
a few years. In almost every mum
Der of your excellent Journal, OF
which l am a reader and have been
for near two years, something is said
by somebody about fencing and
hedging, it being more easily prop
agated, more pleasant to work with
requires less labor to train and much
more slightly when done, besides
producing an immense amount Of
| wood to be used either for fencing
or fuel. Had l cut all mine to the
ground it would have produced
near Or quite half cord Of wood tc
the rod. Should any one doubt, as
l did, let him call on the undersign
ed, six miles south east of Arcola
Ills, and see for himself.-John Go.
