OF the NEW YORK HERALD as an idle speculation,
is now discussed as not only possible but as
probable issue before the country 1t is alleged that
General Grant would veto the Civil Rights bill, and
that he would make a liberal President toward
the South. Some OF our people, too sinarting un-
der a deep sense OF injury, would welcome CEN
traized power, to which the third term would
tend because 1t would place all the states upon an
equality. We think that somewhat costly way or
getting equal rights. Perhaps General Grant
would, II reelected, make his third admiuistra-
ton popular. for the sake 0! getting a hold

About Grating Fruit Trees.

RIDGEDALE FARM, April IA, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLES: A few weeks

that in a grated fruit tree, after a given
number of years, the cion lost the controll-

same fruit produced by the original stock.

ment of those of your readers who might,
by this statement be deferred from inn
proving their fruit by grating, that this
theory is opposed alike to sound reason,
good philosophy, and facts. The author
does not attempt to assign any reason for
the statement, but merely says it is a fact,
which he can not explain. We think the
generally received opinion, that the fruit

and flavor, and distinguishes it from
other fruit, of its own or of other
species, is prepared in the leaf, and hence
the same leaf will always produce the
same fruit, is sound, and therefore the

The Population OF Chattanooga.

a correspondent of the Louisville COu-
rter-JourndL, writing from Chattanooga,
says:
1t is claimed that this city has popula-
ton of twelve thousand, but nine thousand
would be nearer the figure. In 1860 the
census gave it about 1900, and in 1870 the
Federal enumeration put it down for $500.
The average Chattanoogian never makes
remarks about the last census without
splicing his observations with on oath or
two. He says that it was not fair census
that it was fraud; that it was an imposi-
ton upon the whole world, civilized and
uncivilized, who will rush with one accord
to the census-book to see if this is good
place to locate by one DESTROYS of growing
up rapidly with the country. Before the
census-toker came around population OF
eleven thousand was claimed, and because
that individual did not find so many peo-
pie here, he was accused of neglect of duty
and all that sort of thing.

Pats PersuaSiVenesS.

The following anecdote is related of the
late Mr.. Greeley, who is well known to
have been throughout life a staunch adj
vocate of temperance. Through all his
electioneering campaigns he sat at public
dinners and suppers where wine and
spirits flowed freely, but he never passes
the bottle or touched the liquor HIMSELF
The walters who knew his temperance
principles were generally puzzled what to
do when they came to the row of glasses
fronting his plate, as they fronted all
Others Usually they were directed by a
look or gesture of the master of ceremo-
mics to pass by in silence; but on one occa-

an apparent breach of hospitality
" Hadn't we better take something, sir, to
get up an appetite like, after your long
ride, sir ~ the hospitable Hibernian whis-
pered to the startled sage. "a little BRAN

appeal touched the philosopher. He rec

tones, and his heart relented at the idea of
depressing such sterling virtue by con-
tinued refusal. Brandy and water ?'
said he. "Well, Pat, I'll take half that to

Light Wanted on the Grange Movement.
KNOB CREEK, Tenn, April s.

KNOB CREEK, TENN, April 5.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Can you give us
little light in regard to the Grange move
ment? Some of our farmers think a
Grange Just the thing, while others OPP
pose it Just as strongly. There are some
things we can't understand, which only
need to be cleared out of the way to make
us whole-souled Changers.
list. / understand that the Grange is to
do away with all middle>men, such as
merchants, manufacturers, agents and
tradesmen. Now, since we already pro-
duce more than we can sell at a fair profit,
will we not findit still more difficult to dis
pose of our produce when these myriads
of middle-men are driven to the plow-
handles when the curling smoke leaves
the thousands OF stack-chimneys all over
our land when the great shops become
silent when hundred thousand locks are
turned for the last time on the emptied and
deserted store houses of all our great cities,
and when an army of mechanics, mer-
chant-men, etc., without number marches
away to find country homes in the great
West, where they can make support ?
When this is done, ask, where will the
farmers find market for their produce
Will they not then lose more from low
prices in produce than they now lose by
paying high prices for goods?
I'd. l believe none but farmers can join
the Grange. Now, can the farmers take
the place of merchants, and without any
experience in that line lay us down goods
through the Grange store cheaper than
regular merchants do? Could farmer
buy goods in New York cheaper than a
sharp merchant? Might he not get cheat
ed out of his eyes and "bust " the Grange
treasury? especially since thousands of
experienced merchants fan every year?
3rd. How is it that the Grange can promise
the farmers of East Tennessee to secure for
them the highest prices in the South for
their grain, stock, etc, and at the same
time promise to the Southern farmers to
secure grain and stock for them from East
Tennessee at the very lowest prices? And
further, would East Tennessee farmers be
protected by the Grange movement, when
it secures low freights to the western farm
ers, thus enabling them to ship all their
grain and stock into the South and thereby
glut our only market?
4th. Would it not display the grossest in
sincerity for the Oranges to promise the
farmers of Virginia to secure for them fifty
cents pound for tobacco, and at the same
time promise the farmers of Illinois all the
weed" they wanted, fresh from the
presses in Virginia, at twenty-five cents a
pound? 8. H. r.

Value OF Unions.

The Pacific Rural Methodist says: The
onion deserves notice as an article of great
consumption in this country, and it rises in
Importance when we consider that in some
countries, like Spain and Portugal, it
forms one of the common and universal
supports of life. 1t is interesting, there
fore, to know that in addition to the pecu-
liar flavor which recommends 1.-THE onion is
remarkably nutritious. According to an
alysis, the dried onion contains from
twenty-five to thirty per cent. of gluten it
ranks in this respect with the nutritious pea
and grains. 1t is not merely as relish,
therefore, that the wayfaring Spaniard eats
his onions with his humble crust of bread
as he sits by the refreshing spring but it
is because experience has long proved that
like, the cheese of the English laborer, it
helps to sustain his strength also and adds,
beyond what its bulk would suggest, to the
amount of nourishment which his simple
meal supplies.

FIELD AND FARM.
COMING SOUTH.

A private letter from an intelligent gen.
Neman in Ohio informs US that quite a
lbrge number of farmers from Carroll and
adjoining counties in Ohio are immigrating
to Southeastern Virginia, most of them to
Charlotte county. They sell their hill
farms in Ohio at fifty dollars per acre, and
buy in Virginia at from twelve to fifteen
dollars per acre. Our correspondent says,
one acquaintance, few days ago, bought
seven hundred acres, in the county
named, at Sl450 per acre, He says,
"the men who have left this vicinity
are good men, good, intelligent farmers,
and will make it 90 all right in Virginia
for themselves and families The only
part of the letter we regret is that he
says: 1T is not much encouragement to
talk East Tennessee to them because four
or five of our farmers went to Middle
Tennessee some years age and all came
back disliking the country and people. {"
The writer spent part of the past winter in
Knoxville and thinks highly of our Sec
ton and people. The misfortune
about those who went to Middle
lSl1htSStt was NAIbl my SClGClIu
bad county and went soon
after the war, when violence was too COM
mon. Masked outlaws terrified the whole
county, and had it not been for the reso-
lutte action of few fearless men, it would
have continued longer than it did. We
know, personally, farmers, who went to
the section referred to, and all went back
North disheartened and very sore. Their
treatment has not only hurt Middle, but
the whole of Tennessee. 1t is unfortunate,
but the evil seeds have about all been gath
cred, and there is better future before us.
We are glad Virginia is to get such
valuable immigrants, and we wish the
stream might flow and spread over the
whole South. She needs more people, more
Uorking people, more industrious, intelli-
gent farmers, miners and mechanics above
all other things. When she gets more pop
ulation, produces more and accumulates
more wealth and capital, she will not be so
clamorous for Congress to legislate her cur
rency, for, by that time, she will learn that
money comes from labor and not from Con-
gressional or State legislation.

With the return of spring comes the
usual inquiry for good whitewash. Take
half a bushel of unslacked lime, slack it
with boiling water, covering it during the
process to keep in the steam; strain the
liquid through fine sieve or strainer, and
add to it peck of salt previously well dis
solved in water three pounds ground rice
boiled to thin paste, and stirred in boiling
hot; half pound of Spanish whiting,
and a pound of clean glue which
has been previously dissolved by
soaking it first, and then hang
ing over a slow fire in small kettle inside
large one filled with water; add five gall
Ions of hot water to the mixture, stir it
well, and let it stand few days covered
from the dirt, 1t should be put OH quite
hot for this purpose it can be kept in a
kettle on a furnace. A pint of this mixture
will cover a yard square of the outside of a
house, if applied with large paint-bush.

A Real Love Match.

"Another engagement of the many

pondent, is that of General Sherman's
daughter, Minnie, to Mr.. De Haven Fitch,
and it is a real love match. The day before
Miss Sherman left London, her uncle, Com
modore Alden, was prevented by some duty
from going with his niece to the Crystal
Palace, as he had promised, but that she
should not be disappointed he told her he
would send one of his officers to go with
her-a special protege and favorite, he said
So Mr.. Fitch presented himself at the APP.
pointed hour, and the two young people
went off together. He Joined the party at
dinner, and, in return for his courtesy to
Miss Sherman, Commodore Alden invited
him to accompany them to the opera that
evening. Miss Sherman was to sail the
next day, and both she and her new friend
regretted that their acquaintance should
end so soon. But when she reached her
steamer, 10 ! he was on the deck before her
and although there were no suitable accom-
modations for a cabin passenger, he took
| chances and sailed with her. Doesn't that
