Political.

Mr.. Pinchback, although ayoWing in
Washington that he is delighted with the
Senate7S action iii his case. wrote to his
friends in New Orleans in an entirely diff
erent strain. One colored statesman re-
ceived a letter fairly bursting with wrath
at Gov. kellogg, and full of threats against
that patriots life. In it MI. Pinchback
requests that his return, during the latter
part OF this week, be made tie occasion OF
a triumphal ovation; that Il 'sspontaneous"
public reception be arranged, and that he
be met at the depot with a procession,
torchlights and brass bands, and escorted
like conqueror to his home. All of the
expense he would pay himself. With these
demonstrations as send off, he proposed
to begin at once the formation of new
party, whose chief purpose would be the
destruction of Kellogg, Packard, Casey u
Co.

Mr.. William Walter Phelps, an ex-re-
publican Congressman from New Jersey,
has been interviewed ON the political stu

one of his favorites, probably Conkling:
for the position. Still, he thinks the sue

only regards the third term as a remote
contingency.

annual election on Monday next, the 5th
of April, when governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, treasurer, secretary of state, con-
troller, four Congressman, three State
senators, and county officers will be chosen.
There are but two tickets in the field: de-
mocratic and republican. The democratic
candidate for governor is Charles r. IN
gersoll. and the republican candidate James
Lloyd Green. The democratic candidates
for Congress are: first district, George NJ.
Sanders; second, James Phelps; third, La
fayette s. Foster; fourth, William III. Bar
mum; and the republican candidates are
Joseph r. Hawlev, S. w. Kellogg, Fl. H.
Stalkweather, and Robert Hubbard, in
the first, second, third and fourth dis
tricts, respectively. The members of the

candidates in 1873 were as follows: First
district. republican, 1925; second district,
republican, IS; third. republican, 1,177;
fourth, democratic, 1929. 1t is little
singular that Il State which in 1873 elected
three republican congressman out of four,
should a year later have elected a demo-
cratic governor by nearly 1000 majority.
Both parties are actively in the field
with their best stumpers. and will contest
every inch of ground with great zeal. The
democrats are confident, but we hope not
too much so. as to create any apathy, and
thereby lose the victory, which is a very
important one as having strong bearing
on the next presidential election.

and the opening was increasing every mo-
ment. CONSERVATION seized upon then as
they fastened forward, and each threw
away his heavy outer clothing, as he ran,
to be encountered as little as possible.
When the brink of the ice was reached the
space of water between them and the land
was half mile wide, the ice having bro
ken one mile out from the shore, and the
immense field on which they stood floating
steadily out tosea. 1t was now quite dark,
the party exhausted and but half clad , and
they prepared for the terrible cold which
soon set it. At first it rained until they
were all wet to the skin. The rain then
turned to sleet and snow, the Wind veered
t. the northward. and the cold became ~
tense, the fierce blasts cutting them to the
bone. Then began the effort for life, the
men stamped their feet, running madly
the weak and faltering. The cold still in
creased until, as Mooney says, it had reach
ed a degree of intensity not equaled before
in that latitude this winter.

them up and try to keep them on Their
feet. but after reeling for 4 short distance
like drunken men they would fall senseless
upon the ice and die without a struggle.
Those able to keep their feet had enough
to do to keep themselves from falling into
the fatal lethargy, anu with viii. sad hearts
each victim was left to his fate. Father
or son or brother saw each other fall and
were powerless to help, when morning
dawned seven corpses were counted at
intervals upon the ice, and of the remaine
der none could tell who was to be the
next victim.

ONE WAY TO WATER A GARDEN.

Concerning this subject j. NJ. Smith
writes to the Herald ~ have a reservoir
of water sufficient for watering the whole
garden. Last spring I built a strong
Frame, nearly twenty feet high, and upon
the top of that o cistern that held over
$4,000 gallons. Over the cistern stands
a windmill with q twelve foot wheel;
connected with a pump, which draws
water directly from the reservoir. Upon
the ground, by the side Of the building, is
a vat for making liquid manure, and after
it is ready for use it is but a minutes
work to change the pump and send it up
into the cistern for distribution over the
garden. Nearly 1000 feet Of iron pipe laid
Under ground and in different directions
carries the water or the liquid manure to
convenient places where there are cut-offs
and couplings. To these couplings we
screw our rubber hose and distribute the
water lust were we want it. Not a rod
in the whole garden, Of some fourteen
acres but we can reach with our hose.
The height of the cistern gives plenty OF
head for forcing the water through the
whole length of the pipes and hose.
/ have nearly an acre of Strawberries on
rich land, some ON Of which is quite dry. The
first part Of June they needed water, and
it cost me about SO to water them and do
it well. The crop of berries upon that
ground has been immense, and q part Of It
must certainly be credited to the water.
