The BEST WAR JoKE.-We find embalmed
10 the pages of "A PASTORS RecollectionsV
(Rcv. Mr.. Dashicll) the following unsur-
passabe good anecdoie of The war 81 once
heard q visionary criticse the slow move
ments Of the Confederacy in lis conduct Of
the war. He preached plan Of bis own, by
which, without possibility of failure, an army
could be marched right through the North,
and scrape up all the money in Philadelphia,
New York, and Boston, and come back by
sea, bringing the spoil in safety to Whining
ton. He mentioned. with an air of consum-
mate triumph, that he had disclosed the plan
to General Lee, and that the General was
forced to confess land I have no doubt that he
did 1t with imperturbable gravity that such
an idea would never have occurred to him."
Those who knew General Lee understand
this in q delicious sense. But as much as we
admire it in the light of the covert sarcasm it
contains, weconfess TO great admiration of
that unlimited vanity which not only broke
the force of such sarcasm, but construed it
as conveying n compliment to an unequalled
ingenuity Richn,ond Dispatch.

swered. They should remain where they are
at present, in Washington. Here the order
originated, and under the guiding minds Of

be located with reference 10 the locality Of

The Peach CRop This crop, contrary to
all expectations in early spring is now expect
ed to be one of the largest ever gathered in
this and The ne.ghboriug States. The follow
ing suggestions from contemporary as TO the
best way of picking and shipping may be OF
value to the growers at the present time:
tits a nice art to pick peaches Just The RIGHT
time for shipping. 1t can only be acquired
by considerable experience. If the peaches
are too ripe, they become soft, and arrive in
market in almost unrecognizabe shape. If
picked too green, they lark that rich flavor so
peculiar TO the peach, are hard lack color, and
no one wants 10 buy. Thousands upon thou
sands Of dollars are lost every year-eilher by
picking peaches too green or too ripe to ship
we'll. There is a happy medium to he observ-
ed, aud an experienced orchardIst knows lust
when 10 pick TO have the peach ripe and in
perfection when II reaches market. Such
peaches sell WE'LL Such peach grower gets
high prices for his fruit and his neighbors
can't understand why he always gets higher
prices than they do. They blame the commits
sion merchant, when they themselves are the
authors Of their misgortunes. Peaches should
be picked tor shipment when perfectly dry.
u wet with dew or rain they rot and arrive
IN a damaged condition in market They
should be handled as little as possible The
rich down with which they are covered, if
touched, can never be restored. They should
be carefully plucked from the trees and putin
a basket, and then as carefully taken from the
basket and placed in one-third bushel boxes
and shipped With as little delay as possible

BASE BALL.-In the game on Saturday be-
tween the Young Anne RIGA, of Laurel, and
the Montgomery, of this place, the latter club
came out victorious by of 10 TO 7. The play
ing Of both mines was splendid.
The game on the 9th instant between the
Creighton, of Washington, and the Montgom-
cry resulted in a victory for the former club
The score was % to G in favor Of the Creight-
on. BY many misplays the home club lost
the game, though the playing of the visitors
was excellent. AT the beginning the visiting
club walked away with their opponents, but
before the conclusion Of the game the home
boys came down to their work and caused the
game to be of some interest, though in the
opening Of the game the visitors had scored
SO many runs in excess Of the home club that
II was impossible for them TO win.

vile, in tbs. county, was the scene Of a CON
siderable Cow among tho colored population
on Saturday night last which terminated in
an attempt at deliberate murder The facts,
as We learn, were that crowd Of negroes,
who bad returned from harvesting in the
neighborhood, under the Influence of ''ben-
zine," got into fight, which was settled
without any serious consequences, but that
some time after the occurrence two OF them
met on the street, when one Of them caught
the other by the throat and throwing his head
back made a murderous attempt on his life by
cutting him with large knife. With one
lunge he made a ghasily wound extending
from the throat down 10 the beast, and laying
bare the windpipc, barely escaping the jngu-
lar vein. The wounded negro WAS taken in
charge by physician, and after medical treat
ment was pronounced 10 be in a very danger
fair way of recovery. The assailant made his
escape at the time, but has since been arrested
and given bail for his appearance at the next
Term of Court.

our voice and hand against nation wide
schemes which experience teaches, threat
ems nations disaster.
And we do therefore promise. without re-
gard to our former political parties and
preferences, that we will use our endeavors
to develope plans and carry them into effect
which shall give at our elections majority
to an INDEpENDENT PARTY, whose principles
we believe are laid in justice to. all; whose
action shall be for the public good, and
whose officers shall be of, from and for the
people.
We believe that the wealth and integrity
of our nation should be the basis of our
currency, and that it should issue its money
to the people without the Intervention of
bonds or banks. We approve Of and are in
sympathy with the platfrom and plan adopt
ed at Cleveland, Ohio, by an Anti Monopoly
Convention, held there not long since.
Since we have lost confidence in the hon
esty of both the present dominant political
parties we pledge ourself tcnever support
any candidate presented by their conventions
on their platforms so long as they exclude
therefrom these our principles. And we
agree to withdraw our support from the
press of our State so1ong as they evade the
discussion of our principles.

We would request all our friends to
write us letters on politics, farming, or
anYthiag else of general interest. Do
not write merely to write, but because
YOU have something of Importance to
say that you feel ought to be said. Then
say it in the fewest words possible. The
fewer words the more readers.
Whsr writing an article for the press.
Whether prose or verse, just try
20 utter your thoughts in the fewest words,
And LET them be crisp and dry;
And when it is finished, and you suppose
It is done exactly brown,
Iust look it over again. and then
Boil it down.
Never mind about the spelling and
the grammar. Give US facts and

the form OF expression is all right. We
desire this journal to be a medium of
communication for the best thinkers in

home at 2 p. m. On our way thither we
stopped at the house Of Michael Kepner,
Esq, highly esteemed granger, but did
not find him at home. He was in a neigh
boring grove, cutting out road, and we
spent nearly an hour in an unsuccessful
hunt for him. We also, stopped at the resi-
dece Of R. L. Cottrell, Esq, of Dover, and
had pleasant visit of an hour and a half
and most excellent dinner Mr.. Ayres
expressed considerable admiration of the
country in that section of the county, which
is not only a natural garden spot, but beau
| tifully improved.
But think our old friend enjoyed far
more than the fine scenery, the sumptuous
fare, and the profuse iberality he every
where met with, the fervid expressions of
sentiment with which he was invariably
hailed I do not think that more than a
single instance occurred in which his con-
duct as member of the Unconstitutional
State Committee in refusing to sign the
call of that body for convention was not
approved of heartily His manly course
won for him the warmest congratulations
He is regarded as the pioneer in the indie
pendent Anti-Monopoly movement, in cut
ting adrift from the demagogues who un-
der the guise of friendship would use the
Anti-Monopolists, to betray them, and the
people honor him for his conduct in this
connection.
Mr.. Ayres' visit to this county has done
a great deal Of good. He has encouraged
and inspired the grangers, and increased
the zeal of the people in the cause of Anti
Monopoly, for you must know that the
farmers of Olmsted are all Anti-Monoplists.
The only differences Of opinion amongst
them arise from the uncertainty as to the
means which may be most effectually used
to insure the success of Autobiography
principles Now, that the s:Old Democracy
has left them cut of its call and given them
opportunity to 'sset up for themselves
unembarrassed by its demagogueism and
untainted by its corrupt reputation. you
may look for Anti-Monopoly to poll more
votes in this county than Democrats. Liber-
ais, and Republicans combined
