The beet, by means of its larger leaves, ex-
tracts much of its nourlshment from the air,
especially in time of drought, when there is
the greatest amount of moisture and an
mcnia suspended in it. 1t also has more
sugar in warm, dry climate than one which
is cool and moist. 1t is, therefore, likely to
do remarkably we'll IN many parts Of Ameri

THE State Register gives the vote Of
this State last month, taken from the
returns as sent in from the various
counties. II remarksthat the vote on
Lozier was, perhaps, a few votes larg-
er than Is given, from the fact that il
is likely that the vote for him was moi
given in the returns from some coun-
ties, because il was so small. The ag-
gregae vote is 21S,92l, and is about
1900 greater than was. ever before
cast i'm the State. The vote for Gov.
Kirkwood was l25, 1859; that for Lef-
fer, 93,324, and Lozier 52S. Kirk
woods plurality is 3l,745, and his
majority over both Lefiier and Lozier
3l,2l7. This exceeds the Republicans
majority Of 1873, about 5000, and the
majority of 1874, about 1900.

secure the next Presidential election,
to excite in all parts of the country
the embers of religious discord,
and TO stir up all that Is base and
filthy in the depths of Protestant big
otty and intolerance.

held up TO the 6e0rn of the mob OF
political demagogues, to be branded
as mummeries of superstition. Every

ready to commit any crime in order

During the past three years our rela-
tions have. been disturbed almost

ficient promptness. At last the court
to which this society Is anenabic has

viduals, said anything to warrant the
hope expressed by the prcsbytery, but
has awaited the movement of church
law.
In this crisis the session, in the hope
Of saving relations old and powerful,
as they th0aghb for good. urged me
to return to the Presbyterian fold,
