In the State Journal, of the 10th, Gov.
Davis publishes long letter to General
Sherman in reply to that gentlemea's an
imadversions, during his late conference
with the Washignton authorities on the
Indian question. The letter refers to the
late Fort Sill Conference, and makes a
showing not at all complimentary to Gen.
Grant, Mr.. Ackerman, or even General
Sherman himself. He charges all the
parties named with bad faith, and we
have no doubt justly, but the error he
himself committed was in not following
out the clear ana well defined path of
duty, which was in hanging the red
handed wretehss. The verdict Of the
jury in the county whore they 0he In
aisnsl were tried, was ratified and eu-
aorsed by the people Of the entire State,
and for that matter, by the people of the
United States, and Gov. Davis could not
have greatly erred, in carrying it out,
even 1t the expense of few
growls and frowns from his Excel
lsncy, Gen. Grant. In this little un-
plsasantness between these high and
mighty personages, let us hope that the
cause OF the people, the cause of right,
truth and justice will be served. Davis
has opened fire in Grants rear, and in
his desperation cares not that it involves
his own piighted faith to the people of
Texas. When Radicals of such high de-
gree fall out, may We not hope that the
truth will leak out to the advantage of
the people OF our frontier, who, it seems.
have been bartered and sold, like sheep
in tho shambles.

Harvesting Root Crops.

The one thing that makes labor in the
root field so unpalatable to Americans is
the constant STOPPING that it nearly al
WAYS involves. | obviate this almost en-
tirely in harvesting by using the hoe
ground sharp. With this in your hands,
begin at the outside row, and as you fol
low it down cut the top clean from each
turnip with the blade, striking right or
left as is most convenient. The impetus
given to the top will carry it about halt
way to the adjoining row. Returning in
this, YOU strike in the same direction and
so proceed. After few minutes prac-
tice, two or three tops may be cut with
one blow, and almost anyone can "top"
as fast as he ordinarily walks. After the
field has been thus topped" it will pre-
sent this appearance: Two rows of tur-
nins will alternate with each row Of tops.
In pulling the roots, strike the blade of
the hoe back of the turnip, and with a
quick Jerk pull it toward the adjoining
row. pulled or unpulled. The blade OF
the hoe cuts many of the lateral roots,
thus rendering the task of pulling com
paratively easy. After topping and pull
ing, a row of turnips will alternate with a
row of tops; and in hauling, the wagon
sbouId be driven between these rows of
turnips. If the turnips are left out in the
field after pulling few days, the rains
and frosts common to the fail of the wear,
with the tumbling in and out of wagon,
will leave the turnips as clean as need be.
have myself topped and pulled by this
method 400 and 500 bushels in ten hours.

An Obituary Editor.

Two or three years ago / was attached
to the Morning argus, the only paper
published in our village, and during my
engagement we employed as an assistant
editor a young man named Drinker.
When Drinker began his duties the man.
ager said to him:
"Sce here, Drinker; among other things
| want you, whenever you see in the eX-
changes or anywheres good biograph-
ical sketch of any prominent man, to clip
it out and put it away, SOS when he dies,
you understand, we can rush it out as an
obituary article, as it were"
Drinker went to work, and about two
months afterward some welLknown man
died. and | examined the obituary bureau
for the purpose of obtaining his history.
1t was not there; but discovered that the
iusidiOus Drinker had stored away in that
mortuary receptacle one biographical
sketch of John Wesley, a collection of
anecdotes about Gen. Putnam, and an
essay upon 1.-THE Life and Services of
John Hancock"
I commenced with Drinker upon the
subject.
Mr.. Drinker," said, after calling his
attention to the article about the father of
MethOdism, you certainly must be aware
that John Wesley died long before you
| came into this Office"
"N-n-nOm exclaimed Drinker, with a
look of panied surprise in his face.
"Wh-wh what! John Wesley dead! That
great and good man gone! Why, it's too
bad. l had no idea of such a thing
What a shock it must have been to his
! family"
"And as for Gen. Putnam, Drinker, it
is perfectly absurd for you to pretend that
you thought he was alive, you know.
| Come, now, that's too much"
"Is he dead, too? Well, WE'LL The
fact is, I've been living down in the cOun-
try for two or three years, and haven't
kept the run of things. And so old Put
nam's dead That noble old man! Strange,
strange, how we are passing away"
"And, Drinker, you certainly can't be
such an idiot as to have put away this ar
ticle about Hancock with the expectation
| did die once. Why, Drinker, he died
about 10, 900 years ago!n
Come now!" exclaimed Drinker, eX-
ultingly; " I've got you there. All, ha!
! Died 10000 years ago, did he, smarty
! You know too much. You think every
body's fool but yourself! Dead, is he
Now, what's the use of your trying to
stuff that down me, when 1 know well
enough that the Democrats talked about
running Hancock for the Presiden CIV at
the last election! Oh, pshawl You amt
fit to write for any paper that's got any
sense
Then Drinker was discharged. Ididnr
enlighten him, He will probably go down
to the grave with the firm conviction that
Gen. Hancock is the man who set copv
for the miserable penmen who signed
the Declaration of Independence-.Haa
