Major Edward Mcmahon and a number of
his friends arrived, via. Orange and Alex
andria railroad, and took up their quarters
at the Norvell house. They found
Colonel R. W. Hughes and several
of his friends had already arrived
and were at the same hotel. In
the early part of the day the Hughes party
exhibited great confidence, and believed
they were sure of success. This p. M,
they have lost much of their confidence
and fear the results Of q meeting to be held
at Dudley Hall tonight. The following
card is being circulated throughout the
city, owing to simultaneous attack
from the Washington Republican and the
Lynchburg Press, both Republican papers,
upon Mr.. John w. Wolff, secretary Of the
state committee. Mr.. w. has many warm
friends among the allies of Colonel Hughes,
who express the determination to stand by
Woltz in his determination to be heard.

that such compromise will be effected as
to prevent holding the meeting referred to-
The colored people are expected to stane
by Wolff because they believe the attack il
due to his action in the Bailey-Beckley en-
broglio. A full delegation is expected OF

the question of nomination will be settle,
in caucus.

dark, dry cellar, or cover with an adj
ditional thick coat of straw and eight or
ten inches more of earth, and they are
safe for the winter. The frost will not
penetrate through the inside coat of earth
to the potatoes beneath.
In digging potatoes by hand, throw two
rows OF potatoes together, and in picking
them up, pick first the merchantable po-
tatoes and afterward the small ones. This
saves time, and also insures that you do
not have the large and small together
when you are ready to sell. The small
potatoes measure but little, but they seri-
ously damage the sale. of the potatoes; so
that the farmer who sells large and small
potatoes together is really cheating HIM
self more than any one else, and serves
him right, too. ~
1t is proper to add that, when we adj
wise that potatoes be not allowed to lie in
the ground after the vines are dry, we do
not mean the rule to apply to potatoes
ripening in summer when affected with
disease. In this case we always allow
the crop to lie in the earth until every
diseased potato is decayed; for if so al
lowed to remain you may save a part of
the crop, but if dug and allowed to re-
main in piles, the infection will spread
until often there will not be a sound po-

Watering House Plants.

In most instances house plants and
growing flower stalks do not receive one
half the necessary supply of water, while
in some cases too much is applied. Every
flower pot and flower box should be pro-
vided with some means Of escape for the
surplus water. If the earth is pressed
firmly about the roots the plant will re-
ceive all the moisture it requires before
this escape is made. A space of about a
quarter or half an inch should be left be-
tween the surface of the soil and the rim
of the pot or box, that the water may not
wash the earth over the edges to the floor
or into the saucers, but be allowed to
stand and work gradually down.
Moderately warm water seems most
agreeable to these adopted children of
ours, and surely they thrive best when in
dulged in this respect. Much that is erro-
neous has been said of the danger of
watering house plants too freely; but they
suffer more frequently from the opposite
mistake. The earthen pots in general use
are very porous, and evaporation through
them takes place speedily in our warm,
dry rooms. The earth should never be al
lowed to become dust dry; neither should
the water stand all day in pools about the
roots and lower stems, and, thus standing,
become sour and disagreeable. Every
flower pot should stand on saucer or
plate, and there should be hole in the
bottom of the pot, so that the dry soil may
absorb water when it is poured on the
plate. When the soil will absorb no
more, the water on the saucer should be
turned out.-N. Y. Herald. --

No UNCERTAIN SoUND.-When a man
discovers great truth, it is his duty to
proclaim it to his fellow men. The use
of DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs can
not be too strongly recommended to the
invalid public. To those who have tried
it, nothing need be said-their experience
is their proof, pure and positive as Holy
Writ. To those who have not tried it,
these truths can not be too often repeated.
1t is certain vegetable specific, which
aids faltering nature against the triumphs
of dyspepsia, bilious disorders of every
kind, malarious fevers, constipation of the
bowels, liver complaint, spring and fal!
debility, etc., etc. 1t costs but little, and
can always be at hand. 1t is the poor
mans friend. 1t saves doctors bill and
the time lost in riding five, ten or twenty
miles after him; besides being free from
all the poisonous medicaments of the
pharmacop@ia. 1t will not stimulate you

H0arding.

Now that we are all talking finance, it
is good time to talk it philosophically.
A curious faith in very old fallacy
comes under our notice. 1t used to be
considered that wealth was money; that
the more money; a nation had the more
wealthy it was, and tears were shed over
the supposed impoverishment of coun-
try when money went out of it. 1t must
be lingering faint of this ancient super
stition that leads the st. Louis Republican,
to extol boarding. "a money that is not
worth boarding" it says, Sought to be got
rid Of by the Government. The habit of
boarding good money is natural virtue
rather than vice."
What are we to say to such talk as this
from a leading journal of the great West
where the rich harvest of capital
is plowed in and not boarded
But if anybody in the West is
to avow such doctrine, it ought
surely to be st. Louisa city whose
growth and enterprise have been checked
by the misery illiberality of her rich
men. Her millionaires have ever been
given to boarding, and by their niggard-
ly policy have made her the Sec
Ond instead of the first great trade
center of the West. But apart
from these exceptional cases, this
vast American civilization is grand
demonstration of the sound political econ
omy, as well as the sound ethics, of
ment of the talents. The lord of the
afraid and went and hid" his talent in
the earth, as "wicked and slothful' fell
low, and the language was hardly too
strong. 81 TfE
boarding is trait Of barbarism. Just
so far as nations rise above barbarism,
just so far they abandon boarding, and
no farther. War, another and the great
est exhibition of barbarism, is the great
modern excuse for boarding. The war
like nations cannot do banking. Ger
many, France, and all the continent of
Europe are constantly subject to war,
with its devastatiOns, it's financial desas.
tiers and its rupture of all contracts.
Great Britain has not felt the terror of war
within the four seas this 200 years. The
inhabitants of the continent do not dare
to bank, and hence they hoard. Long
peace, on the other hand, has given to
the British people confidence to put their
money in bank What is the result
Great Britain is, to-day, the banker, the
strong arm, of the world. 1t is her CAPT
tai that is subduing the world, her politi-
cal system and its natural outgrowth
that are supplanting all other political
systems, her morals that are making the
world Christian She may say with tri-
umphant confidence: 'Let me supply
the capital Of the world, and care not
who shoulders its needle-guns." Let us
cease to glorify France for paying her
milliards out of the old stockings. Let us
rather commiserate her that her contin-
ued wars have made any other bank but
the old stockings unsafe, and that, when
her talents come out from their napkins,
it is not to found colonies, build railroads,
erect school systems and civilize the
world, but invest it in war loans and to liq-
uidate the gigantic ransom of a nations

Value of Castor-Oil.-We have used
neats-foot oil both in its simple form and
prepared in various ways, also the much
pulled and highly-vaunted harness and
leather preservative oils, sold in cans at
the stores; also all the oleaginous, butyra-
ceous, and other lugubrious substances
known to the farm kitchen, but we give
the preference over them all to castor oil.
We have had boots year old that we
oiled with it and the leather was soft,
smooth and waterproof to the last time
they were used. We apply it clear, with
out heat A little lampblack might be
used on old leather, but it is seldom
necessary on new, as the oil itself seems
to keep the backing on and renders the
leather black and of fine appearance.
Those who have been annoyed with hard,
cracked, water-sOaked boots, the surface
of the leather rough, without blacking,
and the leather shrunken and wrinkled so
as to chafe, gall, and otherwise punish
their feet, will find castor oil, well applied,
to be in every way satisfactory. We have
used it for wagons and buggies, and find
that it is in every way superior. 1t will
wear longer, lubricate better, and is the
least Objectionable of anything we know
of. We use but very little at once, not
enough to cause it to run off and catch
dirt at the end of the hubs.-Cor. German
