RADICAL FINEssE.

Nothing can be more transparent
than the pretended solicitude manifest
ed by good many Radicals of our
county in regard to the anticipated
Democratic convention to select candi-
dates for county officers. 1t has be-
come a common text among the Radi-
cal fraternity, and to expatiate largely
upon the injustice of conventions is the
burden of their long, whispered softly
Snto the ear of some las they think
tender footed Democrat. 1t would be
a nice little game if they could succeed
IN creating an opposition to conven-
tons In the Democratic ranks. 1t is
their only chance to succeed in this
county, and they fully realize it, and
their apparent solicitude has no other
object in view. IF, however, we under
stand anything of the Democratic SEN
tlment IN this county, they are certainly
wasting breath. We have mixed with
the people, and so far have found the
feeling almost unanimous In favor of
conventions. Political independence,
IN party sense, is humbug, and the
man who strides the position is almost
invariably made the stool-pigeon of
party organisms He is nobody's man.
He is used only for tne OCCASION

DEATH OF A DAUGHTER OF THOs.
III. BENTON.
From the New York Fypress.

Lne NcW OK Express.
PARIS March 1O.-The burial services of
Madame Ia Baronna Gualdree Boilleau, a
daughter Of Senator Benton, took place at
st. Philippe du Roule this morning. Less
than a week ago, although ailing, she had
seen her friends, and appeared much the
same as usual. On Saturday evening last
an Inflammation, from which she had been
suffering, became alarming in its symp-
toms, and on Sunday morning at seven she
expired, while the last sacrament Ofthe holy
communion was being administered to her.
Friends fastened before dawn on Sunday
to the officials to try and obtain her hus-
bands release from the Concierge, that he
might be present with her at last, but in
vain; the weary tediOusness of French red
tape kept him from her till twOP. NJ, when
all was over. Loving friends and her dear
little children, however. surrounded her at
the last hour.
The Baron Gauldree Boilleau, it will be
remembered, was sentenced to three years
Imprisonment, a year since, for reasons
connected with governmental business, in
which public opinion quite exOnerated
him from blame. The day he was sentenc-
ed and went into prison, the death-blOw
was given to his wife. Her proud and
noble spirit alone kept her up to do the
work she had planned to do. She has,
through her sole influence, obtained for
her husband a 'reprieve. In a few weeks
NJ. Boilleau will be again free. As a SOL
dier who dies just as victory crowns the
struggle, has she gone from a world that
was too hard for her. NJ. BOilleau was at
the funeral with his three little boys-all
broken with their bitter grief. do not
think there was dry eye in the crowded
chmch. The coffin was a mass of flowers.
and the Cathedral of st. Philippe was most
gOrgeously draped inmOurning-the priests,
the choir boys, the music, the tOlGt en sem
bic, fit for the ObsequieS of an Empress.

POPULAR WEATHER SIGNS.

Would Il not serve a useful purpose if
| some scientific meteOrOlOgist were to gather
| into a mass the various weather signs
whether valuable or not-treasured by the
| farme and other common sense people of
| the country, and then sift them, so that
those of real value may have their proper
influence, and those which are merely fan
ciful may cease to mislead?
That there are weather Signs in abund-
| ance, everybody knows. That the greater
part of these signs are utterly valueleSs.
every person of intelligence can testify.
Yet that they do practically influence the
time and mode of planting of crops, and of
their culture,wil be acknowledged by many
who would not be suspected of the folly,
and who can give no other reason for it than
the force of habit.
1--WE are going to have dry mOon," said
a farmer the other day.
'How do you know?" he was asked.
'.By the Indians sign of the new moon"
he replied, ats horns hung so sloping that
they could hold no water"
His companion laughed. "Why, that's
my Injin sign for a wet moon. The horns
slope so that they let loose all the water"
The sign in the one case was no doubt
as prophetic as in the other.
''Always plant your potatoes in the dark of
the moon, if you wish to have full CROP"
| heard my neighbOr say, "But never kill
your pork nor boil your soap at such time,
unless you are willing to have them shrink
to nothing"
"What is your authority for this?"
81 have always so heard" he answered
with some hesitation, ''and always so prac-
tised. Potatoes, YOU know, being roots,
naturally love darkness: And soap and
bacOn-I suppose they take their cue from
the state of the moon. The fact is, only
know that this is the old time rule"
''We are to have a frost on the 18th of
May" said farmer to me on the 5th of
April.
| was shocked, for he looked wise and
lugubrious, and frost at that time in our
latitude would have cost millions of dollars.
l asked "How do you know?"
because we had fog on the 18th of
March,"
He saw me smiling, and added, II have
heard this rule ever since was boy, and
it has ever failed yet"
''The surest rule L know for foretelling
the weather throughout the year." said a
planter, possessed of at least a semi-collegi-
ate education, sis to note the twelve days
between new Christmas and old Christmas
(trom Dec. % to Jan. 6). The months of
the ensuing year are apt to be wet or dry,
cool or warm, according to the days cores
pondlng." H.3 seriously declared that for
many yeas he had ''pitched his crop" and
ordered his plantation work under the
gpLGance of this rule, and found that it
served we'll. No doubt, for that amount
of time in advance, it was quite as good as
any other rule in ordinary use.-HeGrth
