A great many papers, the n, J. san
notably, arc talking about Grants in.
tcntion 10 run for Il third term. We
give President Grant credit for more
sense than such an effort would imply,
The moral sense Of the American pco-
pie would revolt against such an at
tempt 10 Ovcrjurn the traditions Ofthis
republic. President Grant had, and
has 4 strong hold upon the MASSES OF
the north; his success as Il general
when SO many others had failed, zen
dcrcd him popular. Military popuiaH
~ is Of the kind that is lasting. Bu,
Grants popularity would not carry
him through such an attempt TO over
ride our cherished traditions. Though
there is no positive prohibition on tho
subject, tradition in this instance, is as
strong and binding as law, mere so it
fact, tor in many instances positive
law is pOwcrIc5s in the face Of public
opinion. This is one Of those cases
the example set by Washington and
followed by all tho distinguished men
who have succeeded him cannot DC ig-
nored aud any attempt to do SO, would
create such Il feeling Of indignation
that any mans popularity and any
party's power would sink under it,"
General Grant is too smart not to
see this. Some exceedingly magma
tive and foolish people have talked
about the Democratic party taking
Grant as their candidate for the mex:
race. 1t is true that the Democrats
have acted unwiscIy in the past, but
they have learned u lesson which teach
cs them not to run after false gods,
and no Democrat with Il thimbIc full OF
brains ever entertained the idea Of
such a candidacy. All the talk about
Grants third term is flap doodle

and cupidity already rooted out every

Stranger things have often happened
than a man running the third time in
succession for the Presidency. Rtdi-

Col, Matt. Martins proposition, pub
Iiskcd in last weeks Home Journal, is
that each Democratic voter at the Au-
gust election express his preference
for some candidate now in the field, or
who may come out before that time,
by placing such candidates name on
the ticket he votes for county officers,
the man thus receiving the largest
number Of votes to be considered the
nominee ofthc party.
The L%ynchburg Sentinel is author
lied to say that Capt. W. p. ToIley in,
dorscs the proposition, but expresses
itself in favor of a convention as the
oldest and most easily understood plan.
We must agree with the Sentinel, if for
no other reason than this That by the
former plan it would he impossible 10
arrive at a definite conclusion, for it
would be impossible to tell whether
the expression at the August election
was from Democrats or Radicals.

A Maine farmer sent to the State Fair


DUsKY BTLLEs.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writes ''There are some very beautiful
colored girls here just OF that cafe an 1ait
color SO exquisite when accompanied by
fine features. One pretty Creole married
an officer Of the Freedman's Bank, col
cred man, who formerly played the piano
for private germans. sc. He built her a
fine house, and took her to Niagara on the
bridal trip. She was married in white
satin dress with orange blossoms and tulle
veil Another giIl so nearly white thai the
African blood would never be suspected,
was highly educated and an accomplished
musician. Her eyes were large and lus-
trously black, like those OF the Spanish
women her hair as purple as the ravens
wing her complexion creamy, with the
faintest suspicion of colealr de rose; her lips
tull and scarlet her form full and rounded ;
her hands and feet were wonderously tiny.
Her father intended to take her abroad,
where his pedigree was unknown. or if dis
covered would not show the horror of ne
gro blood evinced by Americans then he
hoped his daughters beauty, accomplish
ments, and wealth might attract Caucasi-

fathers heart, as well as his pride"

A New Hampshire Farm.

The editor of the Manchester Union gives
the following description of a New Hamp-
shire farm, situated in the town of IIayer-
hill:
Mr. A. w. Putnam, is, perhaps, all in
all, the most extensive farmer in the state.
Others may excel him in some specially.
but his business IS as various in character
as it is immense in extent He has about
1000 acres of land, although only about
500 acres are really involved in practical
farming, the rest being land in different
places, from which wood and timber has
been, OF will be taken. He has a splendid
farm about him, which he manages with
almost sole reference to the production of
hay, of which he cut this wear about 200
tons. His present stock consists of 700
sheep, 2O0 fat cattle, Il yoke OF oxen, and
plenty ofwork for them all; 90 milch COWS.
and about 200 young cattle; 60 hogs of al!
sizes, and horses in proportion. He buys
and sells 1000 head of cattle every year
We counted Il men in his field digging
potatoes He aimed at 4 900 bushels. but
expects to get not more than 1000, the
crop being light all through this section.

the experience Of many others to husband
his vitality for coming age.

Trout Culture.

AT late meeting of the American In
stitute Farmers Club, a letter from A. P.
Kinds. Patchogue, Long Island, was read
as follows:
Il write at this time for the purpose of
correcting false impression that ii needs
capital to make trout culture profitable
find that nearly ali pisciculturists give
the advice to new beginners. Unless you
have capital keep out of the business
This is all wrong. To be sure. it looks
nice to visitors to see things on a grand
scale, and fortunes have heen spent in
getting up snowy places, especially by
those with no experience in the business
But am going to give an illustration to
prove my position, and my deduction is,
what one man has done others can do.
provided they do it exactly in the same
way. Like causes produce like effects in
al cases. Four years ago Mr. Michael
Gregory. OF Canaan, village two miles
north Of Patchogue (Post Office address
Patchogue, Long lsland,) leased about
one-half acre OF swamp land. He dug
his canals and went to work with nothing
but his hands. Since then he has married
and bought five acres of wild land. lie
has built a nice house, and this week
moved his trout 1t took him two days,
with two one-horse teams. He made tour
trips a day, using two pork barrels each
trip, making sixteen loads. thirty-two
barrels, containing II 900 trout, valued at
$4,000. He had two miles TO move, and
stopped at my place to replenish, so [ had
a good opportunity TO interview him on
the subject. l asked him how many dol
lars worth a year he had sold. He said
about $1,000. but remarked that, i'll order
to buy his land and build, he had kept his
stock down. He said that he looked out
for big stock within the next four years.
There you have young man, Of no past
experience in rising trout, making s. 900
year. To be sure, he had no system to
his work for the eye. His principle is
simply that they shall have plenty OF fresh
water and feed, and he says they grow
just as well as though he had expended
50 900 or Sc 900 in their culture "

A new bridge, one hundred and twenty-five
feet In length, was put in on the Maine Central
railroad over the Sebastacook stream at Pitts
held on Sunday. After the last car of the Pull
man train had crossed the old bridge, the work
of destruction commenced, and at noon the old
structure was all cleared away. After all was
ready, the first span of sixty-two and one-half

and all completed at four p. m. This was per-
formed by about thirty men.

NINE HOURS IN A CIsTERN. Yesterday
morning about 5 o'clock, little two-year-
old child OF Mr. Webb Calhoun, living
two and a half miles north of the city, tell
into the cistern and the mother, who hap
pened to see the. child fall, jumped in after
it. Mr.. Calhoun, who is dealing in stock,
was away from home at the time the ac-
cident, and there was no one on the place,
and Mrs Calhoun being unable to get out,
was compelled to stand in the water waist
deep, from O'Clock in the morning until
) in the evening. The unfortunate woman
probably would have had to spend the
night in that distressing condition, where,
no doubt, she and her child would have
perished before morning, if, by her
screams, she had not attracted the atten-
ton of some children who We're returning
from school. The school children heard
her cries for help. but it was some time
before they discovered and rescued the al
most exhausted lady. decatur Qll)
