THE jackson Wing and Tribune says
that SO far as the senatorial and guber-
material states are concerned, it thinks
that Mr.. JOhnson's name may as well
be rubbed out; and then asks: "What,
then, will this unquestionably able and
restless man do in the coming summer?
We do not know, but we know what
he ought to do. If he could make sue
cessful race for congress in the first dis
trict, acting in harmony with the oppo-
nents OF the Radical party, he might
again become power in the State, but
otherwise We do not see how this Is pos
stble. His prestige has been broken to a
great degree, and he must restore 1t by
victory in his old home and among his
old friends"

High Prices for Short Horns

The Western Farmer thus sums up the
lessons taught by the anction sales OF
short-horns throughout the country, dur :
lug the past few weeks:-
Whether we consider 1t sign of a
healthful interest or as a mania. or the
shrewd management OF a gigantic ring
there is no question OF the fact that the
Short-horn interest is in the lead of all
Stock interests In this country. From the
recent sales. including all the prominent
ones held this spring, certain iessoas can
be drawn.
First, that the time for high prices has
not gone by. Whether they are really
worth them or nol. 1t is now practically
certain that for animals belonging to Ger
tain families very large prices will be paid
during this year also that for animals of
unusual excellence. of anv good f,mih.
good prices will be paid.
Second, that color is having les Influence
in determining prices. In animals ol the
more fashionable pedisree> it has com
paratively little influence. unless the color
be white. Good roans are again approach
ing reds in popularity.
Third, that except In certain scarce and
highly valued families, high prices cannot
be obtained for Inferior animals.
Fourth. that "Imported" preiixed to the
name OF an animal will not necessaril.
command good price.
Fifth, that, probably. larger number OF
new herds will be established and small
ones enlarged this year than in any former
year.
Sixth, that prices for bulls, except FOR
those Of unusual excellence as show ami
mails or proved success as getters, will be
low. Any farmer who Is willing to pay
$50 can obtain a well pedigree Young
bull by attending some of the public sales
or by commissioning some one in whose
judgment he has confidence, 10 make the
purchase for him. For even a less price
he may be able TO get good bull. for
little more he may receive one OF unusual
promise.

DESTROYING CURCULIos.-The follow
ing sta tement from correspondent of the
Germantown Telegraph is of great inter.
est to all who are cultivating plum trees
He says. Il have seen various methods
for keeping these insects off plum trees,
but none SO simple nor yet so effectual as
the following: Soak corn cobs in sweet
ened water until thoroughly saturated;
then suspend them to the limbs of the trees
a little while after blooming, being sure to
burn the cobs after the fruit ripens, as they
will be found full of insects. A good plan
is to change the cobs every few weeks.
NV theory is this-that the insects deposit
their eggs In the eobs in preference to
doing SO 10 the young plums. The first
season l tried it upon one or two trees
only, and In the summer was rewarded by
q good crop Of as fine plums as ever |
ripened, while those on the other trees fell |
of when about half grown. Next spring |
found sweetened corn cobs dangling from |
the limbs of al my plum trees, and the
summer found them full OF delicious fruit.

Bile that the school committee selected the

Boston is not alone in this. More than

instruments are irst-class in every re-
