ranks of the better class of Liberal
Republicans, is gratifying fact. 1t
indicates unity Of purpose among
intelligent citizens to keep Democ-
racy ont Of power. In Ohio, iowa,
and Nebraska, former Liberals work
ed earnestly for the Republican par
ty. They have good reason, there
fore, 10 share in the thanks due to
all good citizens, for the splendid
achievements of October 18th.
This return to the party of those
who left it in 1872 was to be expect,
ed. Ia that year personal grievan-
ces led to IA rupture of party rela-
tons The Democrats, taking adj
vantage Of this, thought to defeat
the Republican party by accepting
IA lifelong Republican as their stand
ard bearer. The popular verdict
rendered by the people, was not
against Mr.. Greeley, as an individ-
nal, but against the party at his
back. Mr.. Greeley might be trust
ed the Democratic party, despite
its promises. could not he. Those
Republicans who voted for My. Gree
lev did 50 ont of respect for his long
service in The cause of human free
dom. Their admiration for the man
led them TO overlook or disregard
the dangerous political elements
which would have ueutralized his
GOOD intentions had he been elect.
ed. In addition to this personal de-
yotion to All old leader, many join
ed the Liberal ranks, believing that
a new party was to be formed, that
would draw from the two great par
ties their very best material. Thus
the Republican party had been ere
atrd, aud it was thought that thus
a great Liberal party could he form.
ed. They had no desire to join the
Democratic party. Between the
two, they preferred the Republican
party. but they wanted something
better than either. They failed in
their design. The people were not
ready to accept a third party; the
majority had confidence in the one
in power, and the Democrats renls-
ed to 90 out of their organization.
So the Liberal movement failed,
and the majority of those who IA
vorcd it, have reunited in good
faith with the Republican party.
What has been done in Ohio, Iowa,
and Nebraska, will be done in New
York and Pennsylvania. Advices
from the last named States, inGi
cate that nearly every intelligent
Liberal has returned to the Repub-
lican ranks. A few designing men
have endeavored to transfer them
to the Democratic party, but they
could not be bought or sold. They
have opened their eyes to the fact,
that the issue is between the two
great parties of the day, and that
erery vote cast for side issues is half
q vote for the Democratic party.
Knowing this, they will not be pal
ties to placing in power a party that
they know to be corrupt and unwor-
thy of public support. These facts
all point to a united party in 1876,
aud through this unity to brilliant
Republican victory.

SMALL majorities may not tickle
the ear, but they secure better laws
and safer administration than large
ones. In the Presidential year,
Pennsylvania gave $4,000 majority
for Grant. The Republicans staid
at home last year; they were too
strong to work well, and Of course
were defeated. This year they are
aroused, and the result will be a
reversal of last falls verdict.

Plan to Release Mites the Bank
ROObeT (?

Plan to Release Miles the Bank
RObber {?
The Montpelier correspondent of
the Boston Journal, who by the way
is gifted with large bump of i'm
agination, sends All account of an
alleged attempt to release Miles by
cOnfederateS, recently. 1t reads
morantic; in fact one may think it
a page from first class dime novel.
We append it as a chapter of that
kind of literature:
1t has Just leaked out that a most
desperate plot was conc0cted a few
days ago by the friends Of George
Miles. the Barre Bank burglar, W hicll
had for it's object the release from
Montpelier Jail Of this notorious ill.,
dividual. 1t appears that certain
parties, who are friends Of Miles,
and some prOminant officials about
whose past record, and their con.
nectiOn with some jobs in which
Miles figured as the rinyleader, and
about whom if Miles chose to
"squeal" it would put them behind
the prison bars, got together IL fund
of about three hundred dollars to
pay expenses, aud sent two or three
''protessiunaIs" to Montpelier to be
there when Mr.. Somertille, the at
torney for Miles from New York,
should he there to consult with his
client. The plot was that when Mr..
So'ntrv'iIe should 60 to the Jail to
be- admitted to talk with Miles, at
least two Of these "professionals"
should enter with him.
The small passageway from the
main street to the Jail door, which
opens directly into the large room
where the prisoners are permitted
to ramble when not locked ~, is a
place well adapted fer ''prottssion.
ais" to crowd into when Il job for
"Frerch leave" is in contemplation.
The door leading into this room
swings inwardly,a and is about twelve
feet from the outer world.
From reliable authority it is learn
ed that these men who came to
Montpelier were to 60 to the Jail
with MIR. Somerv lille. Two of them
were to go into the jail with him,
tie three were to block up the mar
row passageway wien passing along
with the jailOr, and when the graf
ed iron door leading into the room
was opened and swung inward, a
sudden rush was to Ia made by
Miles into the passage, the profess
sionaIs were to be lawfully awk-
ward" and impede any pursuit for
the moment, and the others on the
outside were to complete the job 10y
getting NJ lies quickly away.
Detective Wigsin got wind of
this most desperate plot, and the
officials at Montpelier were duly
cautioned by telegraph to keep a
strong guard both outside ami in
the Jail when Mr.. Somerville should
arrive. This they did. The gang
put in an appearance, saw the "un-
favorable situation both outside
aud in the Jail, the plot dropped to
the ground, they left Montpelier and
went home to New York and re
ported "what a sharp set Of fellows
those Vermont chaps are" The
$500 raised Tor expenses went for
naught. Mr., S0merville, who was
Miles attorney, may have been ig.
norant Of this plot, hut as for the
real object IN view, viz, tile release
OF Miles, it was = failure.

TnH Crime Of Land 5Turdar.

In a well considered and well received
agricultural address recently delivered
by Jefferson Davis in Missouri, ne said ::
You, like your fathers, have been
cuItivating the virgin soil: You have
not had occasion thus far to grapple
with these questions for the PRESCRIPTION
of the fertility Of soils, which IN older
countries haze been q necessity; bat
you must come to this, You must CON
TO the investigation Of tbs character Of
your soils, the manure which they re-
quire, and the additions which are nee
essary to them. This Is the second
step. l don't mean that you have to take
that to-day or tomorrow the rude man
ner in which we have cultivated our rich
land in the Mississippi valley for awhile,
but your children had as well be learn
ing what they do elsewhere. For in
stance, you sometimes complain that
drenching rains tear your crops to pieces
Now, believe me, that is because you do
not pillow deep enough You plow,
suppose, on the average, about four
inches; well, maybe you plow fye-I
don't know; in t4e midland counties OF
England they pillow fourteen or fifteen
and when necessary they put IN five
horses in q plow, and each horse will
weigh twice as much as a Missouri
horse, and they tear very deep, fourteen
and fifteen inches and then there should
be learned the discoveries of agricultural
chemistry as to what Is required ia addi-
ton to natural soils To-day there are
fields that have been two OF three cent
uries annually cultivated, which yield
more than any acre in the United States.
So whils have not asked you to Crap
pie these difficult problems to-day, do
say that the sooner you do it the better.
Certainly it is better for the farmer,
and better for tho public, that the natur-
al resources Of the virgin soil be hus-
banded as useful capital for The future
support CT the nation than that they be
speedily taken out of the ground in
crops, consumed and wasted. 4 farmer
who impoverishes his fields to the depth
Of twelve or. fifteen inches before he
learns the name and nature of the sub
stances taken out of the soil to form his
annual haryests, must be regarded as g
land killer, not as o husbandman
In the midland counties of England
Mr. Davis saw men blowing with fouI
and sometimes five heavy horses, break
ing and comminuting the earth to a
great depth. And now thousands O.
steam engines are doing this heavy work
Admit that steam engines may exhaust
land to the depth of thirty inches, what
shall be done after that to give bread to q
hungry world ? Must whole nations
perish in the future as they have ia the
past2 Nothing but the teaching Of agri
cultural SCIENCE an advantage denied to
antiquity, can prevent this great calam
ity. Science tells man precisely whaI
things are consumed to make wheat, corn
oats, cotton, tobacco, and other crops
and, consequently, what things should
be universally husbanded as both food
and raiment in manufactured sta to-
american.

Rearing Stock to Make Good
Mixers.

The best method of growing stock 70
make them more profitable for the dairy,
has recently been discussed at some
length by Mr.. a. L. Fish, of Herkimer.
in the Utica Herald. The prominent
idea advanced by Mr.. Fish Is that ia or
d.~to rear COWS for fluent mixers, they
should have suecuIent food from their
birth uD to the time they are brought
into milk, which be says, is usually at
two years OF age if the animal is well
raised. BE argues that the food of a
cali, when a change is made from milk,
should be cooked aud fed warm, or near
the temperature Of blood heat, because It
facilitates a more perfect digestion, for
which the distributing functions are in
waiting. The position, he says, is fully
demonstrated by the fact that in the
change from milk to grosser food the
young animal shows less thrift, proper
tioRate to increased functional labor re-
quired to ct the food for assimilation.
The calf adds more weight in growth
from a given amount of food 1t takes dur
ing the first week, than ever after. The
extraordinary size that calf will attain
at eight months old, having been sup
piled with all the new milk 1t would
take three times a day, compared with Z
calf otherwise equal, except that It's foo5
is not ready for assimilation, shows It ex
pedient to prepare the food az nearly as
possible for ready distribution in the sys
tenn, especially for forced growth and foi
milk cows.
a skillful breeder, he argues, must IN
derstand adapting the various kinds 0
foods to develop essential points, and 4,
them By habit in the constitution. Thl
functional relations in the animal organ
ism are based upon the principle of de
nand and supply Hence the early exer
oises of the faculties most essential fo
practical uss,
He would have the animal reared o.
food that is calculated to stimulate +,
milky habit, and he would have the All
nal come in milk at an early age, thu
educating her from birth for the speeia
use Of the dairy. Mr.. Fish, We under
stand, had been quite successful in rear
ing deep mixers, and his views may b
suggestive to those who are CROWNS
stock for the dairy.
