The Dogberry Of the cabinet-A Weak but
Mischiev0us Officer.

The Dogberry of the Cabinet is At
torney- General Williams, and no law
yer living could manifest more eager
ness to write himself down what he
undeniably is. His tardy reply for the
Government to Governor Brown of
Tennessee, in relation to the trial of
the Gibson county rioters, Is a perfect
synopsis of the charlatanism, the per-
feet conceit, the little tyrant's temper
and the Interpretation of self-satisfied
ignorance that is set up in combina-
tion as the legal adviser and agent of
the Federal Executive, and to which
are recklessly intrusted the issues of
life and death for nation that exists
solely on the condition of an equal
federation among its separate men,
bers. The new Williams Constitution
wipes out the labors and exertions of
the statesmen of the past with an in
difference that demonstrates the most
stupendous individual presumption.
The Government lawyer who was
fairly hOoted out of the Federal Court
at Hartford in a case Of great import
ance to the nation, is occupying his
leisure moments in trampling down
States, sowing anew the seeds of re-
volt, melting diabolical war Of races,
denying statehood to communities
that otherwise can enjoy no recognized
and rightful existence, and posting
Federal troops, by the free permission
Of the President, wherever he may
think them necessary to give meaning
to his otherwise senseless decisions.
Being held jus tly in contempt for his
lack Of legal qualifications, he fancies
that it may be supplied by show of
military force. AS he believes that
troops constitute the essence of State
govern ment, so he practically main
tains that they furnish the fibre of le-
gal decisions. In his weak hands the
Constitution is kneaded over into all
sorts of incongruous and unrecogniza-
ble forms. Instead of exercising su-
preme authority in we'll defined
sphere. under him it becomes med
dler and a msrplot, and the pyramid
popular government is set upon its
apex.-BoSton Post.

Changing Seed.

O. B. Preston, of Caroline Centre,
n. Y, writes / think farmers gen.
orally are not aware of the benefit de-
rived by frequently changing seed:
Potatoes, wheat, oats, corn, and all
kinds of grain and vegetables, should
be changed every two or three years.
The idea is this:
Those who live on gravel soil to ex-
change with those who live on clay
and loan, and vice versa. Every
farmer should select from his own
crop the best for seed. Take your
team aud wagon and load in your seed
and drive till you find some which
grew on different soil, and it will be a
benefit for both to swap; or sell yours
and buy-any way to reach the de-
sired end. My attention was called to
this subject rather accidentally.
Some potatoes (Chihes) were sold and
went to a gravel soil, and being there
two wears after, at the time they We're
digging the potatoes, / was struck by
the large yield and smOOthness OF the
tubers. | asked where they got the
seed, as wanted to get some, and was
informed that it was from seed when
they got on our place. | could hardy
believe it, for with the best care III
seed, and cultivating thoroughly, our
Weld was small compared with his,
and the tubers were uneven in size,
round and scraggy. For experiment,
some were taken back to the farm
again and planted by the side of the
old seed, and the difference was
noted, the seed brought back, pro-
ducing larger yield and smooth tu'
bers.

The kBeecher-Tilton embroglio has
broken out in fresh place. This
time Tilton, goaded by the taunts of
Bacon, writes long piece for his
Golden Age, sadly berating Beecher
for his conduct towards himself.
This time the piquancy of Tltons
attack is highly seasonal by an extract
purporting to be taken from letter
of Beecher to Tilton, in which col q
fession is made by Beecher of having
done some great harm to Triton.
This offense Tilton characterizes as a
nameless crime. In plain English,
Tilton wishes the world to believe
that the great Plymouth preacher has
been too intimate with Mrs. Tilton.
It should be borne in mind that not
many months ago the notorious Vic
toria c. Woodruff published most
disgusting detail Of the armous OF
account of the lapse of the wife of
Tilton with her great pastor.

ENGAGED to marry-tO help one
another over the rough places of life's
journey; to guard one another against
its pitfalls; to help one another IN
Is it not for this the world marries
To illuminate with sunshiny hope the
dark places? To gid with the sun
shine of faith the threatening clouds
of difficulty? To bridge the chasm of
gloomy failure with the strong span of
mutual charity? Is it not for this the
world marries?
But it makes but little difference
what the world marries for, so they
know where to buy their outfits both
for the wedding and for housekeeping:
If you would be happy in the married
state, always buy from BROWN, and
save your money.

WHEN Napoleon the Great died at
st. Helena, an English physician
took charge of his heart, depositing it
in a silver basin filled with water.
Two papers burned near it, but the
custodian felt nervously anxious
while watching it through the night,
and did not sleep. In the silence of
midnight he heard a rustling sound,
then a plunge into the water, and
rebound on the fioor-all occurring
with the quickness of thought He
sprang from his bed to see an enor-
mout rat dragging the precious relic
to his hole A moment more and
the heart which had been too vast IN
its ambition to be satisfied with the
sovereignty of continental Europe
would have been more degraded than
the dust of Imperial Caesar.
