fact that "times are hard" money "close"

done; and as an inducement to custom
ers to adopt the rule Of Cash Payment on

per cent. on all goods sold for cash, ex-
cepting only very few articles Of trade
that are now sold as low as they possibly
can be.
We shall endeavor to verify the fact

In closing, We will simply say, that We

BEECHER ON CARDINAL MoCLOs-
KEYS HAT.

In the last issue of his Christian
Union, BeecheF thus ridicules the fears
Of some PrOtestants as to the spread Of
Romanism in America For our
selves, brethren, we recommend imme-
date and unconditional surrender.
Let us propitiate our foe in season,
before we are all turned over to the
Inquisition. We too plainly fOresee
the future. On McCloskey's return
from Rome he viii march up Broad
way-in his Red Hat-with five hun
bred thousand Irishmen at his heels,
and all the Jesuits IN the van. He
will proceed to the new cathedral, on
Fifth Avenue, and there be entroned;
the Bible and Harper's Week
ly Will be burned In his presence
by the common hangman; and the In
QUESTION will at once be set up in the
new Courthouse. Tweed will be re-
leased from Imprisonment and en-
throned as Grand Inquisitor. An
autO-d d.fe Will be held daily In Central
Park, and on the first occasion Bishop
Simpson, DR.. Tying, DR.. John Hall, DR..
Bellows, and DR.. Chaplin Will grace
the stake. Imagination shudders, and
refuses to further unrol the dire pam
Drama" Then IN a more serious mood,
Mr.. Beecher says: Nevertheless, we
make bold to wish DR.. McCloskey Joy
of his Red Hat. to hope that it Will be-
come him, and not give him a head
ache; and to assure him that not even
his Ultramontanism shall prevent our
having good hopes of his destiny In
the next world, whatever he may think
Of our prospects there!"
New York Sun, March Q.
Mr.. Beecher has a funny leading
editorial article ii the last Christian
Union called about a Red Hat" In
which he tries to say agreeable things
of Cardinal McCloskey, wishing him
Joy and hoping that the hat viii 'be-
come" him. The fear that he expresses
in the course Of the article that "sOme
of our respected contemporaries viii
attribute to US a most unbecOming
levity on a solemn subject" Is not IN
natural; but as the public already
knows that to him even an adultery
trial is rather an amusing affair, there
will be no particular remark about Mr..
Beecher's finding in the appointment
of the first American cardinal occasion
for merriment.

bred large sheep often crowded into
close quarters would soon become dis
eased. They ought to be divided into
several parcels, with sheds to shelter
them at night, if running in the same
field in the daytime.
How much heritage viii grow In
twelve consecutive months on three
hundred acres Of fair land depends very
much on the skill of the farmer, which
is a very variable quantity. Sheep and
grass, with a mixture Of clover or iu-
cerne, improve many soils much faster
than is generally believed. Keep all
the sheep your land viii carry, and not
overstock the field or range. For I'M
known centuries shepherds, herdsmen
and others lived In cloth tents without
paint, gum-elastic or oil to make the
cloth waterproof. Now, cloth whose
raw material is corded, spun and woven
by water or steam power, using ma
chinery, and made imperTious 10 water
IN the tent form, is a cheap fabric.

DEFEAT OF THE VIRGINIA FUND
ING BILL.

The new tax bill before the Virginia
Legislature, providing for the funding
Of the State debt by means of a tax Of
soc on every 500 Of assessed value Of
real estate, to be discharged by the
payment Of 40c lawful money, has been
defeated by a large majority.
This is attributed by the Petersburg
NclUs to the "infamous" nature Of the
bill itself, and it asserts that the longer
it is urged by the bOndhOlders and kept
before the people the more will it be-
come "detested" and final settlement
be postponed. 1t declares that no
power could enforce its provisions if
passed, not even the Court Of Appeals,
which would be remOdeled by the peo-
ne should it attempt to uphold such a
law. This would be done by a Consti-
tutional Convention.

The Best Protection.

The best safeguards against epidemic diseases
are thorough digestion and firm nerves. 1t is
because they assure the regular performance OF
the digestive process, and invigorate the ner-
vOGs system, that HOStetters Stomach Bitters
are such a sovereign protective against the in
huenees which beget intermittent maIadies, and
those which directly affect the stomach and
bowels. II the nerves are BEAUTIFULLY Tranquil,
the assimilation Of food perfect, they are sure
to be under the influence Of this standard tonic
and neryiue, malaria NAV be defied, and if, in
the absence OF the most reliable OF medical
safeguards, the system has fallen a prey TO dis
case Of an irrcmittent or remittent type, the
Bitters viii, persisted in, eradicate every YES
tige OF the malady. BiliOusness, constipation
and dyspepsia yield with equal certainty 70 the
operation Of this potent vegetable Alternative.

THERE is likely to be a good deal OF
birthstone IN the air in Ohio during the
next campaign. Gov. Allen, according
to the Republican journals, INDUCES in
profanity to that extent that it passes
out under the door of his room in a
blue fog whenever he becomes excited.
The Hon. B. F. Wade has always had
the reputation of being an expert in
the same way, and Mr.. John Robinson,
the circus man, whom the Republicans
have nominated for Mayor Of CincIn-
natl, is said to use expressions which
would knock the bark off of a hickory
tree. Messrs. Moody and Sankey
should come home from London, and,
with Mr.. Marley, concentrate at once
upon Ohio.-NeD York Tribune.

REVIVAL OF PROSPERITY IN AR

Two weeks ago not a merchant,
planter or business man, in all Ar
kansas, could have obtained indulgence
to the amount of one cent in st. Louis,
Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, or
any other city of the North or West.
To-day they can get all they want in
any Of those cities On such time as will
enable them to pay. The adoption Of
the Poland report has given an impe-
tus to everything. The Iron Mountain
and the Little Rock and Fort Smith
roads are pushing things, while every
other character Of business has i'm
proved. Those who have money are
now willing to loan to their neighbors.
Merchants are willing to accommodate
planters, because they in turn can get
accommodation, and so in everything.

DE KOVEN WILL TRY 1T AGAIN

"a Ritualistic Churchman" writes
to the Chicago Times:
cit viii be a great qualification to
the friends Of DR.. DeKOven, and of
sound Guardianship, to learn that
from information lately received from
Iowa, it is more than probable that
this distinguished divine will be elected
Bishop Of our neighboring diocese. and
that the standing committees of the
various diOceses may soon have an Op-
portunity of again passing on his
claims to the bishopric. 1t is believed
that the majority of the standing COM
mittees that refused their consent to
his conservation as the Bishop Of
Illinois were greatly deceived and i'm
posed upon by the misrepresentation
of a little cabal of lOw-church soreheads
in Chicago, and that they are now
anxious and ready to indorse the St.
Chrysostom of the American church"

OPIUM PRODUCTION.

GLADEvILLE, TENN March p, 1875.
DIR. Daniel Lee, Agricultural Editor
UNION AND AMERICAN: wish to make
an experiment in raising opium from the
poppy; will you be so kind as to give me,
through your department, all of the facts
concerning its culture; what kind TO plant,
when TO plant, how TO plant and where the
seed could be obtained? By so doing you
will confer a favor upon
Yours very respectfully,
R w. BELL.
There is no good reason why opium
may not become an important agrieul-
tural staple in the South, as well as
silk, tobacco, alcohol and other spirits;
but it would take an extended essay to
tell all about 'poppy-planting and the
production Of opium from its narcotic
juice. The seed may be had of seed
dealers In New York, and the crop
raised as easily as cotton. Incisions
are cut in the nearly matured capsules
for the juice to exude, from which
opium is gathered after drying q
hours on the boil The incisions are
made longitudinally, (up and down.
and the juice that flows is milky, ike
that of the common milk weed, Opium
Is formed from tnis oxidation, as sugar
is from the juice Of sugar cane. The
poppy yields a great many seeds and
the plants are cultivated in drills as
close as can be worked by a horseshoe,
and a little thicker than cotton In the
drill. The seed yields a valuable oil,
and the cake is a good fertilizer. With
cheap labor the business Is likely to
pay, although, it takes many peoples
to produce a pound of opium.
