100000 worth OF Crude Spirits In Linn
bO-Why the CatI for F1ve-TWenIies
was Limited.
Death Of Van Ellen, the FOrger, from
Harsh Treatment and Exposure
after srrest.
HEAVY SEIZURE OF CRUDE SPIRITS.

T.
NEW YORK, August + The revenue
authorities seized about ninety thou
sand dollars worth Of crude spir.
its st different places in the
city yesterday, on suspicion that fraud
was intended on the government in its
measurement. The discovery Of the
supposed fraud is the result Of q new or.
der Of the internal revenue department
requiring all nigh wines to be re-gsUged
before being receipted for. It Is said
that about fifty thousand dollars have
been advanced by merchants in this
city on the liquor under seizure.
THE FIvE-TwENTIEs.
A Washington dispatch gives as a
reason why the secretary of the treasury
limited the call for five-twenty bonds to
twenty-five million dollars, that
not only the call Of the first
instant, but subsequent calls, are
likely to bring in well-execUted counter
felt five-tweuty bonds, known to have
been extensively sold I'm Europe, and it
is proposed to subject all that are re-
ceived TO the closest scrutiny.
CAUSE OF VAN EITEN's DEATH.
A post mCTteg examination having
been made Of the remains Of Van Etten,
the California bOnd-fOrger, it was dis
that death had resulted from
congestion Of tue lungs, he having COM
plerely recovered from the effects of
laudanum. his harsh treatment while
under the effects Of poison and needless
exposure, being allowed to lie naked tor
some hour, are assigned as the cause
which led tD congestion.
SUPPOSED CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.

Thomas Barrett, Of the sixth precinct,

Immediately shot the animal, but the
fear Of hydrophO5ia pTsyed upon his

fined 10 his bed for a week. When the
roll was called this morning he COM
planned OF feeling uuwell, and an officer
handed him glass Of water. He dash.
ed it to the floor, and betrayed unusual
symptoms Of the disease, barking and

WJgkingmen! Ye hardy sons OF

hearts are to-day, as they have ever
been, the chief bulwsrk Of the public
safety, what say you to eTecting Patter-
son, Garrett and the other Radical can
didates, who have proposed to you
mixed schools and sOcisr equality with
the negroes? They have an incorrect
estimate Of your character, or they
would not make the insulting overture,
that y0u should join hands with the ne
groes and elect negroes and csrpetbag-
gers TO Office. is your poverty a dis
Rrace, that You are thus called upon to
become allies Of an inferior rsce-assO-
ciates, co-lsborers with negroes? Re
ject with scOrn the indignity that has
been offered You, and arise in the mai
esty Of your power and let these deadly
enemies Of your race, these peculiar
overseers and champions OF the negroes,
know thst, though laborers for your
daily bread, you scorn and spit upon
the degraded white who would sink to
the level O. negroes by sssOeisting
with them in schools, hotels, public
conveysnces aud places of amusements,
aud by becoming their chums, their
boon companions, and their allies in
their crusade against their race and
color and the vital interests Of Shelby

Shelby county, the ls5OTing classes are
the most interested in crushing out the
infamous party that seek the elevation
Of-he negro, by degrading the whites TO
their level Heaven forbid that We
should ever pen q line to the injury OF
the colored race. We would protect
them in their every right, civil and pO-
Hdcsl; we would educate, and in every
way promote their happiness and proc
perity, but he is mesner than q dog who
would elevate them only at the expense
Of the whites.

LATER.

The city election passed off quietly;
no disturbance Of any kind. Both the
whites and the blacks polled their full
registered strength. Some Of the lead
ing negroes Of the third ward attempted
to induce their followers to leave that
poll, but an excuse FOR such a course was
studiousIy withheld by the whites.
About forty negroes voted the white
ticket, and four whites voted with the
negroes. The whites elect their entire
ticket by three hundred and fifty ma
jority-their first political victory since
1861. The stars and stripes have been
thrown to the breeze, and every avail
able piece Of bunting is displayed in
honor of the event.

deep that pillow could hardly cross it,
when ten minutes work with spade
would have prevented it. Aid often we
see large, impossible bitches form through
valuable, land, with no effort to stay the
fearful waste. This, with fearful force,
verifes the old saying a stitch in time
saves nine.n
A few hints i'm regard to remedies are in
order. First, the land can be plowed so as
help. the case by running the burrows
crosswise of the rils. prefer to have the wa
ter flow in straight rills at regular.
and to prevent these from washing deeper,
pack corn-stalks, large green weeds, fine
straight brush, &C., in the bottom, and al
low the grass and weeds to grow in these
bitches. Thus the water has something to
wear on, and with "a little care much soil
can thus be saved. But the best manner to
preserve the fertility of the soil is, as any
intelligent farmer knows, to seed down to
grass, especially clovers, not forgetting the
importance Of the proper use of manure

MANAGEMENT of Manures.

y New Hampshire correspondent of the
Country Gentleman says
One of my neighbors has good barn
with a cellar under it walled up on three
sides the other is open. In his long how
ell he ties up his cattle; there are trap
doors in the rear of the cattle by which the
manure is cast into the cellar; he uses no
bedding; the manure, while in a soft state,
is shoveled through the openings in the
floor, and no means are taken to save
the urine. The farmer buys superphos-
phate and says that farming does not pay
About year ago, Prof. GOessmsnD, of
the Massachusetts Agricultural College,
published an interesting report on COM
mercial fertilizers, in which he said: The
present condition of numerous farms in
this and other countries is an unmistakable
demonstration Of this fact; the cultivation
of meadow land fallow, rotation of crops,
superior mechanical preparation of the soil
in fact, all those modes of treatment
which aim at q suitable development OF
the latent natural resources of the soil
can at best only more or less delay the
time OF its agricultural exhaustion they
can not prevent the ultimate result u
Prof. Goessmann rs a German, and the
plain English of his statement is this
that the present system of farming will
end in an agricultural exhausting, y
unless backed up by the Extensive in
PRODUCTION and use OF commercial mineral
fertilizers
/ have no doubt that az q general -uie
the Professor il right, bat there are ex.
ceptions TO al general rules. There are
thousands or what were once called good
farms ia New Hampshire and other States
OF New England, chat are now worthless

Lime for Apple Trees.

A Mr.. Miller referred to the effects of
lime on his orchard, and said: 81 have
found nothing better than lime in produ-
cling good apples we have lime and gray
ell soil. Newton pippins planted in 1865,
in ten or twelve years got scrubby, and
l threw lime under some trees, and the
apples growing on those trees, are to-day
as fine as any apples | have ever seen
| scatter bushel of lime under the tree in
the Spring. Some other varieties do not
require as much. The apples are as good
as - years ago when L used lime. My
trees had deteriorated, and they are as
good to-day as ever. 1 always keep plenty
of hogs in my orchard--they pick up the
insects. Barnyard manure tends to intro.
duce insects, and makes them breed more
rapidly, and hence should not be used.

Curing Glover Hay.

1t is widespread error that it is diff
cult to cure clover hay. Like anything
else that's carelessly and unskillfully done,
it will be badly done; but with ordinary
attention clover can be cured as easily as
any other hay. 1t should be cut when
heads of IA greater part of the field or patch
are of a brown color. If the cutting is
delayed until the entire crop is brown, the
parts that ripened first will be too ripe.
Clover should never be spread out to
cure" 1t should be left in the swath. The
less any hay is exposed to the sun while
curing the better it will be. The sun ex-
tracts and dries up the juices and succu-
lence of the stalks, which constitute the
value of the hay.
When cut the clover should lie in the
swath until more than half the upper part
is sufficiently cured, which will be the case
in favorable weather in eight or nine hours.
When the upper part is thus cured the
swath should be turned with hay-fOrks
bottom up, and allowed to remain for five
or six hours, when that side will also be
cured. Then the swatbs should be thrown
to getber into windrOws-three swaths to
a windrow-ald this being done, the
operation of hauling home the hay should
be commenced at once. In the best clover
regions of our country, if the weather is
fine, clover is generally hauled home the
evening of the day it is cut, and, never
allowed to remain out beyond the follow
ing day. Cured thus, every part of the
clover, leaf bloom and stalk, is dried
equally, the evaporation of moisture has
taken place gradually and regularly, and
all the nutritiye juices of the hay have
been preserved, whereas if the hay is ex-
posed too long TO the action of the sun, the
leaves and bloom are dried to a chip and
nothing is left but hard, fibrous stalks

The Discount a Granger Didn't Like.

The Changers have got off so many good
jokes at the expense of the monopolists
that they can afford to laugh at the following
story, which comes from the other side: A
Granger died, and feeling pretty sure of adj
mittance above, went straight to st. Peters
gate. But the stern gate-keeper, running
his finger down many columns of names
in his ledger, told the applicant that his
name was not registered and that he must
go down below. He turned off sadly, and
walked down to Old Harry's establishment.
He knocked, and Uncle Harry thrust his
head out of a wicket and asked what he
wanted. 81 want to come in,n said the
Granger. The adversary retired, looked
over his records, and returned. "You
can't come in here your name is not on
the ledger. We can not admit any one
without authority. You had better go to
the other place. "But I've been, there,
and they sent me here" "Well, it is
rather hard, unused Satan. "What were
you? What did you do out of the ordinary
way?" Nothing particular" responded
theapplicant. a." / was decent sort of man,
