We fail to see any of the fruits of the

From the above it is apr aren't that the

of the Thieves Organ, is under the delu-
sion that the "peaee conference was
gotten up especially to nable lis party TO
do all manner of d'.vilment, such as
throwing out ballots, Counting in defeated

How Haha Was Killed.

Raymond Gazette
AS the Jackson Times is disposed to
give us credit for our efforts to discover
the facts as to the killing of Squire Haffa,
for its information we now state the case
as it is believed in the Auburn neighbor-
hood. Haffa and Joe Stevens had furi-
ously quarreled in the republican club,
each wanting the nomination for magiis-
trate of the Auburn district. The qua r
rel was renewed at Haffa's house, VIII en-
Joe Stevens shot Haffa, inAicting the ia.
tai wound. Joe Stevens then attemp ted
to escape, but was pursued by Mrs. II alta
to . bridge, where she overlook and fired
on him, the shot killing him insta ntly.
Mrs. Haffa then fled to jackson for pro.
lection. Such are believed at Al lburn
to be the circumstances of the K Hing,
and so soon as Mrs. Hafa's where abouts
can be discovered, the people of Auburn
pSopose to have her brought b ack fol
examination.

The Standing Army Bill.

One Of the first acts of the incoming
Democratic and Conservative Legisla-
ture should be the repeal Of this odious
measure, which came so nigh producing
civil war in our State. To our mind, the
employment of the agencies il provides
is contrary both to the Constitution Of
the United States and Of the State Of
Mississippi, and we.have no doubt our
court Of last resort will so decide in the
injunction case. But whether it so de-
cide8 or not. the duty Of the Legislature
to strike it from the statute book which
it disgraces is clear and palpable.
We must have no negro militia to in
wade peaceful communities as an cleo.
tioneering agent for the Radical party.
1t is registered in the hearts Of the white
people that they do not intend to permit
such an Instrument TO exist In their midst.
They will infinitely prefer to be consid-
cred in state Of permanent instruction
and 10 be governed by the military force
of the United States. They will ac-
knowledge obedience to that authority,
but the descendants Of the men who
struck the lion down will never pay
homage to any inferior beast.

There is good deal Of sound sense in
the way pointed out to the Democracy
by the N. Y. Herald for retrieving the
loss Of Ohio. We wiz publish what il
says, however, by repeating what we
have before demonstrated that the sue
cess of the Democratic Presidential tick
ct next year does not depend upon the
vote Of Ohioj
There il but one way to retrieve
these misfortunes. There is no salvation
for the Demfratic party but by making
administrative reform the paramount
issue, and reuDiting the party in siren
uous opposition to the abuses which have
prevailed in President Grants admins
tration. 1t was absurd TO raise any 9TH
er banner than one inscribed with re-
form; but we trust it is not too late for
the Democracy to be consolidated on that
basis. The initiation issue has united the
Republicans on the currency question
and widened the breach between the
Democrats. The only hope of the party
lies in the action of the House of Repre-
sentatives when congress assemblies. If
the House deFotes itself to Investigations
and exposures, if it succeeds in dragging
a great mass of hidden corruption to light
and covering the administration with
disgrace, the. Democrats may yet fight
their way to- power as the champions of
reform. There is no hope for the party
on any other issue.

WEEDS AS WATER PuRIFIERs. Mr.
Mech writes as follows: | had recently
striking proof of this. Into nv pond
runs Il stream Of - gallons per minute OF
fresh water. from a drain which | cut 1G
feet deep some so odd years AFRO. Weeds
will grow and thrive in this pond, and we
have annually to rake out large quantities
of them. They look very beautiful As they
row in the pellucid water, which is used
for household purposes. Said Il visitor to
me one day, " If You had a pair Of swans
your pond would be free of Weeds so :,
KIND friend presented me with pair. and
very soon they cleared the pond, pulling
the weeds up by the roots and feeding on
them. My family We're delighted with the
graceful swans and the removal of wcedv
instructions to boating: but although the
pond WAS free Of weeds the water was no
long T pure and prllucid. but most decid-
edly muddy in taste and when the steam
issued from the kettle the smell ofmud
was, unmistakabe. Well no one thought
it could be the swans; but at last came
to that conclusion, and, despite family and
other remOnStrance<, returned them to
their original owner. After a short period
the weeds reappenred, and rs they increas-
Ell IN bulk. the water gradually resumed
its pelluciiity and purity. What the weed.
do for the water and its occupants the
land vegetation does for the air: men.
animals and other living creatures poison
it, while vegetation absorbs the Injurious
gases, and reconverts them into whole
some food and fuel for man and beast
filling the atmosphere with that precious
oxygen without which men and animal.
and other living creatures could no lonrcl
exist, We owe to the river vegetation
much of the purity of water. 1t is excess
of impurities from our towns which are
beyond its powers of appropriation.

TIE LAwN.-There is nothing connect
ed with the farm house in the way of en-
belliahment that ~iycs it SO much charac-
ter rs Il beautiful lawn. Fill your front
yards with roses, snow-drops, clematis.
beds of ANIMALS and evergreens. and still
nothing is SO neat and attractive as q
smooth piece of velvet lawn. Yet how
few rural places can boast of a fine piece
Of lawn. The truth is people do not know
how to make lawn, and seem very slow
i'll learning. 4 lawn to be perfect must
be green all the summer long. In our
arid climate this can only be Appropriated
by making a very deep soil-not six inches
OF Il foot in depth. but three or four feet
With this deep foundation and Il smooth
surface, Il little Green sesd and 4 lawn
mower, we are in condition to produce Il
premium piece of lawn. The grass seed
should consist Of equal parts ofred top and
Kentucky blue grass; it should be sown
thick, perhaps at the rate of three bushels
per acre, or even more. As soon as the
gras, is sufficiently started the mower
should be used at least once week in the
growing season. \ surface dressing of
fine hen manure or night soil, mixed with
pulverixed muck, should be given every
fall to keep the soil in good heart. Upon
this plan any on" can have Il patch of
beautiful lawn who has rod of front
yard.

HINTS ABOUT WORK.-Weeds in the
fence corners must not be allowed to ripen
seed. Cut them, and. if they will be likely
to mature seed after cutting, pile and burn
them. This is a good time to cut brush in
pastures and fence corners.
Horse stables ought to be kept dark at
this season, to exclude flies. Let horses
run out in the pasture during the night,
rather than in daylight. This will be
pleasant for them, and prevent the bot-iy
from depositing its eggs upon them.
Digging muck and composing it can be
done at this season of the year better than
any other. 1t is also better time to get
sawdust from the mills than it will be later
when the laggards will be after it.
The meadows that have not yet been
fitted for the machine can now be put to
order by sinking rocks, clearing off stones
and stumps, leveling hummocks. etc.
Sleeps noses should be tarred, to pre-
vent the attacks of the fly whose eggs
laid in the edge of the nostrils, produce
=" grub in the head
Don't sucker the corn. Those who have
neglected to sow corn fodder are Otter
tempted TO do this when the pastures begiI
to fail But the tassels on the suckers are
provided to come into flower a little latel
than the main tissels, and thus fertilizt
the tips of the ears.

rust, that a little plot here and there where
