IMPORTANT AcTIoS.-The Republican mem
bers of the Legislature have held q caucus, and
resolved to stand by the Republican party and
its prineiples-that necessary reforms can be ac-
complisbcd within the party. The caucus was
attend by twenty-five Senators and ffty-two
Representative clear majority of both Houses,
and a considerable joint majority. There were
doubtless several members who will endorse the
action, who were not present. Messrs. Price and
Drenning, of this County, signed the resolution; ;
alro, TO our no little surprise, A. J. Mowry's
name figures there. We had thought that lie
had Topped of. But the most significant fact Is,
that Speaker NeEckron was present, signed the
resolutions, and made speech, declaring his full
faith in adhesion to the Republican party. This
is another opportunity tor the Kansas City 7imes'
Atchison Patriot, and Topeka Blade, to seuawk
over another victory over the Republican Ring"
In this connection, we must say that we be-
lieye injustice has been done Speaker McEckron,
such would have tended to drive less hrm
man from the party. Because he has given the
ChGirmanships of some of the committees to ofh-
ers than active party leaders who haIkered alter
them, OF has composed committees unsatisfacto-
rily TO certain localities, huc and cry, such as
We have heard much Of in Kansas lately, has
been raised against him, and he has been de-
nouced a traitor and a renegade from the par
ty He has simply done what he believed ts be
best for the public interest, and we cannot see
that he has performed any act to forfeit his
standing in the Republican party. He was elec-
ted straight Republican, declares himself
still Republican. and we are willing to believe
him TO be such, until he gives stronger evidence
to the contrary, by his acts, than he has done.

Cane.Seated Chairs.

WHEN these chairs begin to wear out
says lady in the Country Gentleman, tn,
canes split apart, and their appearance,
Is anything but ornamental, while tn,

Now if we live where they can be re

the money to pay for the work, we car
soon have the chairs again as good as
new" But all do not live in such
Localities, and all have not the money to
replace their seats; yet little time and
ingenuity will set the matter right, and
make the chairs, in my opinion, better
than new, for do not take much fancy

Take any pieces of bagging or burlaps
no matter how coarse-and fit them to
the chairs, cutting them large enough to
wrap about the rounds that hold the

darning needle and Irvine twice doubled,
and turn up hem as you sew on the
burlaps. When half fitted, stuff it with
" excelsior" shayings of poplar wood; or,
if you have them, cut off layers from old
quilts, and spread them smoothly over
the chairs, under the burlaps The lay
ers of cotton can be tackled together be-
fore they are put in, and then they can be
laid more smoothly upon the old canes.

Why Seed Corn RIOTS In the Ground.

SEED corn if well matured and prop
erly cured before the vitality of any of
the kernels is impaired will seldom rot
after it is planted. Let farmers select
their best and ripest ears, and either truss
and hang them up or place them in the
ear where they will dry thoroughly (un-
less it be some very early, quickly ripen-
ing sorts), and there will be better sue
cess and better luck with the corn crop
One great cause of the rotting of seed is
that it never was well ripened. Another
reason is that it is badly dried. Poorly
ripened and badly-dried seed is easily
injured by fermentation, and Il little fer
menta'ion and molding will destroy
vitality. Last autumn we had the best,
largest and ripest ears carefully selected
and braided together by the husks in
trusses and hung in a dry place. This
was planted and Notwithstanding the
drenching rains and mud all came up,
not "a missing hill or stalk. The same
has been the experience If some others.
Those who made no selection and took
no care of their seed have had bad luck.
Another field was planted with King
Philip corn not trussed, but as this sort
ripens so early and perfectly this opera
ton appears not necessary. 1T came up
as evenly as the other. Farmers will re-
member that for two or three years past
a great deal of corn came up badly. Last
spring especially much of it rotted in
the ground. The loss from this cause is
hundreds of thousands the present sea
