Broom Corn.

Those who have not planted all of their ground will do we'll to consider the advantages of grow ing broom corn. It sells very high now on account of scarcity, bringing $200 a ton in Chicago. The cultivation is simple; the soil best suited to it is such as corn requires, and a river bottom is considered the best of all. It should be planted three feet apart, in rows three or four feet distant. If the seed is good, ten or twelve to the hill are enough to ensure five or six healthy plants, which are all that should be left to grow in a hill. Seed should be buried from one to one and a half inches. The ground should be well pulver- izcd before planting. Cultivate well from the time the plants are visible. Let no grass grow. Break the tops before fully ripe by bend ing the rows towards each other and breaking them about thirteen
 inches below the brush. Allow them to hang until thoroughly ripe, then cut and carry under cover, where they must be spread
 until dry. The stalks remaining may be cut close or pulled up and buried in the furrows to enrich the soil. The brush is cleaned generally by hand by drawing it through a hatchel composed ot upright knives set near enough
 together. The average yield of brush is about 800 pounds to the
 acre and of seed from twenty-five
 to fifty bushels per acre.-Grange.

of our civilization since we became nation
-that new opera by M. Offenbach has been
demanded? If it is not as an emblem of
progress, but simply as one example of .he
many phases of present civilization that the
opera bouffe was to be presented, an ele-
gantly upholstered drinking-saloon or SUI
perbly arranged gambling room would be
equally appropriate and desirable. Where.
ever our more modern conditions have tended
to embellish what is vicious in itself, wherey-
er we do worse rather than better than our
forefathers-it is manifestly unwise to dis
play it to an unlocking world. Better put it
decently out of sight, with a view o."reform
it altogether than TO parade it. In this con-
nection, i. will be in order for the committee
to pause and reflect whether the swords of
our Revolutionary ancestors bear any resem-
blance, moral, artistic or historical, to the
"Sabre de mon Pdre."

Current Notes.

The Indiana Democrats have about decid-
ed upon Jackson's birthday, March Is, as the
time of holding their state convention. They
want to have Jacksonian flavor about the
affair some way or other, probably to take off
the odor OF the soft money platform they pro-
pose to adopt.
A letter to the Chicago Tribune from Des
Moines, Ia, says that the telegraph reports
of Representative Kasson's libel suit have
been very unfair, having come from the Office
of the journal which is the defendant in the
suit; that the jury stood seven to five in his
favor, the five holding out only on technical
point, AID that the people believe that Mr..
KassopaEas cleared his good name OF all the
accusations.
So far as hard times are concerned, they
are mainly the result of shortness of crops,
or, in other words, lack of that which buys
money. The cry of s'hard times'' has been
loudest in places where there was no produce
to buy money with. In Texas there is verv
little talk of hard times. The yield of cotton
this year Is fully 500, 900 bales, and this year,
for the first time in her history, the state has
exported 100000 bushels of wheat. SEND

Woman suffrage has now been in practical
operation in our territory for six years, and
has, during that time, increased in popularity
and in the confidence of the people. In my
judgment, its results have been beneficial and
its influence favorable to the best interests of
the community. A right or privilege, once
granted, is not easily surrendered. In this
case it is difficult to perceive any good reason
why it should be.-Gou. Thayer of Wyom-
ing.
Moody seems to be badly needed at home.
Here is picture of sthe Chicago of to-day,
painted by the leading Chicago newspaper:
"The gamblers, banko men and thieves are
allowed the absolute freedom of the city.
They literally swarm in our public thorough
fares, even blockadng up the sidewalks.
They carry their pistols openly. Their gam
bling hes and dens are kept in full opera
ton, not only in the night time, but also in
broad daylight. They insult, swindle, rob,
assault and kill people with impunity. They

know the daily life Of which they were the result.
But this reason does not exist in the case of the
memoir of Miss Fletcher, and its publication
seems to encroach somewhat upon the reserve
that was the young girls right. The volume is
carefully arranged and a chapter added to its
contents by member of Mrs. Fletcher's fam
lily, who, in accordance with the expressed de-
sire of some residents of Edinburgh, has un-
dertaken the task, which must have been o
very grateful one to her.
INFELIcE. By Augusta Evans Wilson, author Of st.
Elmo. New York: G. W. Carleton & Co. Port
land: Loring Short & Harmon.
Mrs. Wilson provides against criticism by
prefacing her work by this quotation from Lo-
THAR: Tomorrow the critics will commence.
You know who the critics are? The men who
have failed In literature and art.' What can a
critic do in face of this? Indeed there is very
little for the critic to do. No possible effort OF
his, nor apparently of her own can give Mrs.
Wilson enduring fame No possible effort of
his can iniure her books in popular estimation,
If we can judge by the fact that orders have
already been received for $4,000 copies of her
latest WORK. To those who like her, as an au-
thor, "Infelice" can be heartily commended
1t has all the merits of her previous books,
and less of the faults. II is written in many
languages it is true, and has something the air of
a cyclopedia dished up in the form of novel:
but the style is intense and picturesque, and
story interesting.
THE BLITHEDALE ROMANCE, BY Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. Boston: j. R. Osgood s. Co. For sale by
Bailey e. Noyes.
The fifth volume of the "Saantering" edi-
ton of Hawthorne's works comprises the
singular and powerful story, 'The Blithedale
Romance" The book has always been IA
vorte with the admirers of Hawthorne be-
cause of the supposition, well founded, that
the characters were drawn from the notable
men and women of the authors acquaintance,
and because of the light thrown by the story
on the Brook Farm experiment. The lovers of
the Romance will heartily welcome it in its
new and attractive Dress
GEIER wALLY. Tale of the Tyrol. BY wilhel-
mine Won Hillern. New York: d. Appleton &
Co. For sale by Bailey s. Noyes.
This little volume of 7S pages, in paper COW
ers, is powerfully written and tells touching
story of Tyrolean peasant life. the sombre tints
of which are lightened at the end of the story,
by happy marriage. One follows with pain
full interest the unhappy fortunes of the higL-
spirited Geier Wally, the heroine, and is al
most incredulous of her good fortune when af-
ter long disappointment and suffering the de-
sire of her heart is satisfied
OFF THE ROLL. Novel. By Katharine King.
New York: Harper 10 Brothers, Publishers. For
sale by Loring Short s. Harmon.
This novel of 1893 pages has some charming
characters and descriptions, but an inconse-
quent and unsatisfactory plot There is no
central figure in the story, and nothing but
the bright piquancy of narration redeems the
monotony of following the fortunes of four or
five couples who are all very nearly alike, and
none of whom in zeal life would b0 likely to
elicit much interest

REBELLION against oppression appeals
strongly to the sympathies of Garibadi. The
old hero has written letter to the Herzego-
viaian insurgents, regretting that his bodily
ailments do not permit him to come to their
aid, but encouraging them to persevere and
promising to send them in the spring a vol
unteer legion which he intends to organize.
Doubtless he can find among the old Italian
conspirators many men who are weary of a
quiet life and who would gladly engage once
more in active conflict.

IT is difficult to satisfy these Democratic
papers. They have been complaining that
the treasury ought to hoard gold, that it
would be impossible to collect gold enough
by 1879 to justify an attempt at resumption.
Now that the treasury is boarding gold they
complain that the market is drained of the
precious metal, and that far more coin will
be accumulated than is needed for resump-
ton. They talk like angry children.

many other wonderful things. The doctors
are at loss to know what to say about him,
and content themselves with repeating many

doubted; though it would be very convenient

THE death of Pauline Virginie Dejazeta
one of the most noted of French actresses,
is announced. She was born in Paris in 1887
and first appeared on the stage when she was
five years old. For seventy-three years she
has been before the public as an actress.
Almost to the last she retained her vivacity,
her voice, her beauty. To her was due the
revival of Molere and Scribe; and she
played long after Scribe was dead and Moli-
ere once more banished from the stage. Her
favorite roles were what are called by actors
''breeches parts,'' the most noted of her
plays being "Les Premisres Armes de Rich
elieu." Prince Petit" and "Bonaparte d
