lLr. Elit9r:
Among the nominations of the Tenn
perancc Convention held, at Bonning.
ton on the Dist inst my name appears
for States Attorney. / did not know
till after the adjournment of hat body
that my name was used, No member
Of that body or any one else ever in
timated TO me directly or indirectly, or
to him or them, that my name was to
be used in connection with that, or any
other Office: Hence ! can but regard
the nomination as highly compliment
tary but however gratifying to me il
may be to Know that such an honorable
body of men, who advocate the noble
cause Of temperance, and have naught
but the public good at heart, have such
confidence in me, it is but just to them
and to myself to say that / am not a
candidate. That / was q member Of a
similar body Of men assembled in con-
v~ention at Arlington on the I'd day Of
July and VINO nominated suitable per-
sons for the different county Offices,
and | feel bound by the action of that
convention, and to the support of the
ticket there nominated.
Further, / have been a straight re-
publican ever since the organization OF
that party and always voted the repub-
lican ticket, and shall continue 10 do
so until ! see good reasons why
should not. / am proud to-day Of what
that party has done for the cause Of
temperance in this and other states. ]
have even regarded it as the temper,
auco and reform party, and ! believe il
stands SO to day in this State, though
there are woak-kneed members thereof
who will alone find comfort with the
enemy.
/ know that many members of that
Party-strong temperance men-tlo.
grieyed at the lack Of moral courage OF
some communities to openly and
squarely face intcmperance and it's train
Of evils, yet they do not believe the
time has come when they eau better
serve the cause Of temperance and
their country by dividing their party
and forming a new one. But they do
believe that such q course is hazardous,
and will give aid and comfort to the
enemy. They see on the one hand the
democratic party committed to license
and rctrogression, by the chief plank
in their platform, and on the other hand
tho republican party committed to pro.
hibiuon aud reform BY It's history and
avowcd principles. One Of these par.
tics is to be served, directly or indi.
rootly. Chooee which master you will
serve. With due respect for those o.
different views ! remain
Yours respectfully,
u. Howard.

Something About Potatoes.

lsuppose for long time there has been no
such wide and general scarcity of potatoes az
at present, and as a consequence suppose
the price will be higher and the demand larp-
er when the first of next years crop comes in
than they have been for years. For these
reasons, then, it seems to be proper time to
give some hiLts as to the best means of secur-
ing early maturity. What I have to say is
almost wholly the results of personal expert
ence and applies to the soil and climate Of
Central Illinois. First, then, discard every
thing but the Early Rose There may be
other kinds as early, or earlier, but so far I
have never seen them. There may be those
which give "A larger yield and are better for
the table the season through, but have nev
or discovered them. The two great enemies
we have to contend with, are the Colorado
Beetle and the drouth. If we plant sufficient
ly early we may avoid both. or 30 nearly
avoid!them that we may be sure of fair crop.
Plant then, on high, cry and very rich soil,
as early in March as the frost is out of the
ground-and indeed if there comes open
weather in February they may be risked,
planted deep, and covered to the depth of
five or six inches with coarse stable ma
nure. And the seed should be cut several
days, say ten, or two weeks,so that the pieces
may 'heal, as the Irish say, before they are
planted. OF course, do not recommend the
cutting of seed so long before hand when the
planting is done after the middle of April.
The best seed is furnished by fair-sized
potato, cut lengthwise into four pieces, and
the pieces dropped, ~ to 18 inches apart, in
the row. They should be covered four or five
inches deep. 1he distance of the rows apart
do not seem to make much diference-from
to feet will do. l had magnificent yield
on patch which was planted in drills as
| above, ~ inches apart and 4 feet in the row.
thought these could not be beat, till dug
some, where the distance apart was only 8
feet. To dig potatoes rightly, the workman
wants to stand on the row and throw, with q
spading fork. the potatoes in front of him.
When thev are IL inches apart, found it
impracticable 10 dig them out, without cutting
many iu the operation-they so filled and oc-
cuped the soil. think 1 shall hereafter try
the distance of 1S inches apart and feet in

Magazines for January.

OLD AND New. Since the departure of the
atlantic Monthly from Boston, Old and New
is our only New England literary magazine.
Instead ofsbsing discouraged by being left
alone, 1t appears, under the able management
of Edward E. Hale, to be more than sustain
ing its reputation. 1
The first paper in this months number Is
an able discussion Of the Virginius question,
in which is set forth facts which we have been
surprised not to see mentioned in the
daily journals long ere this, we refer
to the case of the steamer Carolina;
which was seized by British forces
in 1888, while in American waters, under cir
cumstances similar to those of the virginius.
"The Way we Live Now is the title of a
serial story by Anthony .Trollops, setting
forth the struggles of would-be fashionables
living npon small means; which promises to
be of exceeding interest.
"Wall Street and the Crisis" is a most
exhaustive article on the causes and effect OF
the recent panic in our monetary circles.
The article is most searching and practical
in its examinations, giving names, dates,
and figures. ga Civil Servant" by E. E.
Hale is a story which might be founded ON
fact-so life-like is it-of MAI who spent his
life in seeking for easy official positions, at
last receiving one so easy, that in performing
its duties his weak mind gave way, and he
lost his reason. Chapter III of our 'Sketching
Club, Rev. r. st. John Trywhitt; gives
many practical hints and helps to the ANA
teur artist. ''Tom Haliburtons Quandary''
is story to be continued, the first chapters
ofwhich appear in this number, Of the ai-
ventures in society life Of a young man who
has spent number of years amid the wild
and exciting scenes OF the far west. ''The
Boston Tea Party by Francis Drake, is an
account Of the great Boston tea party of
1773, the causes which led to it, and final re-
suits. The plan of the first tea party orig.
mated in Maine in the town of Lebanon.
"Scrope or The Lost Library" by Frederic
B. Perkins, is continued in this number.
There is also pathetic story by Miss M. h.
Hinckley of the life and death of shiftless
man who never could find time to do things:
the story is entitled ''Dave; or the Plover's
Flight" The Poetry ofthe number is places
by T. G.. A. and "Quatrains" from the
old Morse of Elder Edda by Myron z. Ben
ton. The Examiner contains notices of the
most prominent books of the past year, and
short history of John Stuart Mill CLEANED
from his his autobiography. The musical Re
view gives list of late issues OF instrumental,
and vocal music. We have no hesitancy in
saying that we consider "Old and New'' the
peer of any magazine of similar character,
either in this country or abroad both in its
lighter literature and in the more solid mat
which it contains. elf Iqoac1
