In another column we give in full the re-
marks of Hon. J. 81. Burleigh in the House
of Representatives, last Tuesday, during the
consideration of the naval appropriation bill
in Committee of the Whole. The facts set
forth so plainly by Mr.. Burleigh will COM
mand general attention, coming, as they do,
from Republican Representative in full
sympathy with his party and jealous to carry
out in good faith its pledges. The evils of
which Mr. Burleigh complains have been 60
ing on the past thirty years and are no more
now than at any other period. 1t is, how
ever, the system of corruption which is de-
moraliziDg the public service and creating
wide spread disgust among the best men in
the party. 1t would not have been parlia-
mentary for Mr.. Burleigh to have declared
that these sinecurists at the Kittery Navy
Yard are Mr.. Hamlin's henchmen; that the
''infuence at the other end of of the capt.
tol'' which strove to retain the chiefest of
them, was Mr. Haulin's influence, and that
the same gentleman was the "source" Of tho
request which the Secretary of the Navy
could not disregard, when asked to take care
of the man whose Office had been abolished.
This is the system, gentlemen of the Legis.
lature, which you are asked to perpetuate in
the reelection of Mr.. Hamlin. Do you think
the Republican party can stand 1t? Is 1t
honest and right? Isn't it great deal like
dishonesty to maintain ones friends at the
public expense? # ra

Current Notes.

Ivan" telegraphS from washington to the
Springfield Republican of the finance BILL
"The hard money Republicans of New Eng
land and New York in the house of represen-
tatives have not yet decided what to do.
Hawley of Connecticut frankly avows his
hearty dislike to some parts OF the measure,
but he may vote for it for the sections which
he does like"
Unless Mr.. Irwin tells us frankly what he
did with this money we must assume that he
has it in his pocket, and that his attitude is
that of confessed and contented blacknail-
er. There is no avoiding this dilemma. I'm
til this confession is clearly, fully and cir
substantially given, Mr.. Irwin must accept
the severest condemnation, and as witness
bis word cannot be considered for moment
so far as it affects the public estimate of Con-
gress. The question TO be asked is, are we
dealing with Pacific Mail or blackmal?-N.
Y. Herald.
Atlanta (Ga.) Herald: "Twenty families of
negroes from Athens will pass through At
lanta on their way to Mississippi, and next
week 100 more from the same place will fol-
low. 1t is asserted that at least 5000 will
leave Athens and vicinity during the next
two months"
There were bad officials in Mississippi be-
fore the days of negro suffrage. Governor
Ames says: cat former time a governor Of
this state felt called upon in his message to
the legislature to announce the fact that
twenty-six collectors, when their were fifty
six counties, were defaulters in one year,
and that large sums of money were collected
that were never accounted for in any man.
ner. The state to-day has no such griev-
ance.'
The Chicago Tribune suggests that among
the advantages which will accrue to the Re-
pub,icans as direct result of their defeat is
the transfer of Mr.. Blaine from the Speakers
chair to the floor of the House. A powerful
minority, enjoying the advantages of his ex-
perience and counsel, will be able to do the
country more substantial good than the pres
ent Republican majority while pulling away
at cross-purposes.
1t is said that private adviees from Michi-
gan, received in Washington, are to the effect
that Mfr. Chandler will be beaten in the eau
Gus for the senatorship/ and that even should
he carry the caucus he will be beaten by a
bolt of the Granger element, which is thor
oughly organized.
Senators Schurz and Fenton say they voted
for the Senate finance bill in order to strength
en- the Republican party. So these gentle
men are back in the ranks.-Chicago Tri-

A Washington newspaper asks the Ways
and Means Committee to examine Messrs.
Whitelaw Reid and Jay Gould respecting the
Pacific Mail. 1t is said that the great moral
organ which Mr.. Gould owns and Mr.. Reid
edits is being used to depress the value of
Pacific Mail stock.

Her Majesty's ship Basilisk has just returned
rom New Guinea to England, after a cruise of
nearly four years, and reports having surveyed
about 1900 miles of coast line, added at least
twelve first class harbors, several navigable
rivers, and more than one hundred islands,
large and small, to the chart. Till these dis
coveries were made large archipelago of is
lands (some as large as the Isle of Wight, and
densely populated), rich, fertile country, in
tersected by navigable rivers, and inhabited by

feet high, on the northeast coast of New
Guinea, were named Mount Gladstone and
Mount Disraeli.

PRUSSIA is using the text books in her
public schools as a means to further her
schemes of territorial aggrandizement. A
new official geography states that among the
territorial changes to which Europe will soon
have to submit is the extension of Germany
by the annexation of Switzerland, Holland,
Belgium, Luxembourg, Lichstenstein, and
what little is left of Denmark. This territory
has an area of 63,225 square miles, land pop

THE programme of the Hamlin men is to
swarm the state capital with officials, and
force the senatorial caucus Thursday or Fri
day night, the first week of the session. As
the ballot does not take place until Tuesday,
the 10Th, wouldn't it be well to wait week
or more? Don't attempt to carry the Legis-
lature by storm. Let the members have time
to consider.

A NEW state, under the protection of Tur-'

Caspian Sea. The Mahometans in European
Russia number about two million and half
souls. They are settled chiefly in the Crimea
and have hitherto been exempt from military
service. The new conscription spares no
able-bodied men, and as the MahometaEs

THE silver product of the country has in.
creased very rapidly since 1858, and is now
nearly as great as the gold product. In 1873
the gold mined was $36, 100000 and the sill

Agricultural Experienee.

l. All soils are benefited by being
under drained, but the benefit is
most apparent and lasting in those
of clayey nature, or having a sub
soil retentive of moisture.
2. After draining, subsoiling and
good cultivation are necessary to in
sure good crops on heavy soils.
3. Lime is the best manure to ap-
ply to strong clay soils. 1t renders
them more pervious to light and
heat, and also corrects their acidity,
by combining with some of the
chemical salts in the soil, making
plant food of poison.
4. Summer fallowing is the most
efficient and profitable means of pre-
pairing strong soils for wheat, and
beginning a rotation, after grass has
been grown for length of time.
5. Green crops ploughed under,
when in the most succulent state,
are powerful auxiliaries in rendering
a light soil fertile, but if this is done
too often excessively, the soil be-
comes overcharged with carbonace-
Gus matter.
6. Leached ashes applied in large
quantities to sandy soils, or those
containing too much vegetable hu-
mus, will greatly ameliorate their
condition, and render them more
compact.
z. There is no soil so poor or ste
rile, but some mode may be found
of ameliorating and enriching it.
s. Blowing sands may be gradual
ly made productive by spreading six
inches thick of straw over them, to
remain till rotted. Then seed tick.
ly with clover on the surface, with
out ploughing, and when the clover
has taken hold and becomes estab-
lished, pasture sheep upon the land
for two or three years preparatory
to manuring and cultivating it.
8. Two successive grain crops on
the same land leave it very foul.
10. Summer following amelio-
rates q soil and if properly done gets
rid of most of the weeds and noxi-
Gus plants infesting it.-Canoda

that one whose talents and efforts hsve been 90
long directed to one particular branch Of the PTeNss-

CARRYING BUTTER TO MARKET
The sun should never be allowed to
shine on butter or a package con-
tanning butter. More butter is in
jured from the farm house to the
village store and in transportation
by the careless, unthinking, or will
full parties than from all other caus-
es combined. The farmer has an
easy and effectual remedy, an old
umbrella for shade, green grass
or wet fannels or any other substi-
tute whereby a rapid evaporation
can be effected for the cooling ar
rangement, and you can carry your
butter for miles to market in good
condition.

Moulton called Raymond a liar.
In a religious denomination we
should suppose they would have pre-
ferred harps. 1t may be remarked
further, that after calling q man a
Tyre, it is but natural to Apologize.
1t is said that Barnum has offered
Weston $500 to walk against time.
"Why can't somebody offer him
$4,000 to walk against a stone wall
or buzz -saw?" asks the Boston
Globe.
The question has arisen, Which
is the biggest liar, the Milwaukee
Neacs or the Chicago Times? This
is easily disposed of. The Times
contains at least three times as much
reading matter as the Neaos.
"Sweet are the uses of advertising ?
So wrote the immortal, many sided
Shakespeare, but the bungling com
positor set it, up so as to make it
read "adversity." Anybody can see,
however, what the poet meant. His
head was wonderfully level on the
subject of newspapers.
Some tough stories are heard of
the grasshoppers. A train on the
StJoseph and Denver railway struck
the insects, which covered the track
two inches thick. The engineer was
sorely puzzled what to do. He
finally put on all the steam he could
and tried to go on; but with his best
endeavors he made but nine miles in
eleven hours. At another time, on
the same road, a train was complete
ly blockaded by grasshoppers, and
the conductor found it impossible
to proceed. He was forced to put
back to his starting-place, and wait
until the hoppers had crossed the
track.
