What Mas Hayes Donef


A Democratic paper in need of informa-
tion puts this inquiry, and is tersely and
conclusively answered by the Bellelontaine
Republican, as follows:
"What has Hayes done2 He has served
his country 80 well In time of peace and
war, that even his enemies can find no fault
with him. He went to the front, at the
first call OF his country, and by his bravery
made gallant record as soldier and pat
riot, that Tilden or Thurman, or any of the
Democratic aspirants for the Presidency
might be pround of He has thrice been
elected Governor Of Ohio, and his appoint
ments have been made with such rare tact
and judgment, that no oneever found cause
to complain, and no one of his appointees
was ever removed for corruption or lneffi-
cheney; while in short two years term
the appointees OF the Democratic Governor
brought disgrace upon the party and the
State. He has filled every position to
which he has been called, faithfully and
with credit TO himself and honor TO his
constituents. lie has maintained, in a
time of demagogery and corruption, char
acter for purity and integrity, that is con-
ceded and commended by friend and Zoe
alike. lie has refused 10 work for his own
nomination for any office, and stands like
an honorable man upon his record and
character. He has shown an honesty of
purpose and devotion to principle BY
squarely meeting every issue and dodging
none. He has shown an able mind aud a
clear insight into all public measures In
his discussions, and developed ripe Judge
ment, a firm hand, clear head, and pure
heart, that prs-eminently qualify him foI
the Chief Magistracy Of the Nation.
"Finally, he has beaten three of the
strongest men the Democratic party could
put up In Ohio, and he has redeemed oul
State from Democratic rule
"What more could be asked, as eithel
an endorsement for falihfulness and com
potency or a recommendation for highe
honon2"

ANNIE BEsAYr, the English radical he
roine, has started a petition in Parliament
praying that no further grants of money to
or for the royal family or any member of
it shall be given, under any circumstances
whatever. The signatures have run up in
the neighborhood of eighty thousand, and :,
when presented, will be the largest petition
ever sent to that body. 1t is probably
lucky for the Prince of Wales that he got
through with his junketing tour through
India before thispetition is agitated or act
ed upon.

This vote strangely indicates the packing
process for the District Convention, though
the selection of ALLEN delegates to st.
Louis may be attributed to bargain and
sale, by which HAAG was chosen for cleo
tor. 1t is evident that the Hards, not
withstanding the action of the District
Convention, are in the majority in this Dis
trict; and it is equally evident that the
majority were sold out by HAAa and his
friends to secure for him the position on
the electoral ticket
The point Of special interest in this mat
ter is the effect it must have upon the Con-
gressional Convention. 1t is generally un-
derstOod that General STEADMAE expects
90 be the Democratic nominee for Congress.
The Northern Ohio DemOcrot has been pur-
suing a course designed to kill of HURD,
and make room for STEADMAH. 1t was
thought TO be an easy task, but the action
Of the counties, comparing this District in
the State Convention, must disturb the
dreams of the Softs. There are more old
fashioned hard money men in the Dis
trict than were counted upon. In fact,
they are in the majority, and SrEADMAN
and his paper cannot make it otherwise
Will he bs able to "get away" with the
Congressional nominations on as easy terms
as he secured a position in the st. Louii

The Columbus correspondent Of the Gin
Gazette says the THURMAN men there keenly
feel their defeat at the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and are waiting for their revenge. He
further says: at is credibly stated that
the majority platform at Cincinnati was
the work of Thurman himself. 1t is the
last product of that astounding political
dishonesty and doube-dealing which have
characterized his course, and have finally
proved disastrous to himself and his party.
Yet there are Republicans who still profess
some respect for this baffled trickster, who,
from the day the flag of the rebellion was
first raised until this last exhibition Of CHI
canery and timidity, has not done single
act that patriot or an honest politician
can approve.
william Bell, Jr., secured renomina-
tion for Secretary of State at the Demo-
cratic Convention by simply and previously
closing his mouth. He is reported to have
said yesterday that bell should be silent
rather than give forth an uncertain sound,
and that previous to tie Convention the
contest between hards and solts was too
close to admit of any uncertain sound. BY
continuing to pursue the same policy he
hopes to ring in next October. Should he
do so, then, whether hards or sofia eventu.
ally triumph, he will not despair Of the

The vote of this Congressional District
in the Democratic State Convention, is
very significant. Following so soon upon
the Democratic District Convention, where
delegates had been chosen to the St. Louis

HOW TO HANDLE SHEEP.

A great many farmers and their help hsnd e
sheep In wrong way, often pulling out hand
fuls OF wool, when this might just as we'll be
avoided as not. An old sheep raiser SAYS /:
"When about 10 catch 4 sheep, move carefully
towards the one 70 be taken. until you are. suf-
hcienty near to spring quickly and SefIe the
beast by the neck with both hands. Then pass
one hand around the body, grasp the brisket,
and lit the sheep clear from the ground. The
wool must not be pulled. II the sheep is q
heavy one, let one hand and wrist be put around
the neck and the other pressed against the
rump." That is good advice, as when sheep
are roughly handled, ifthe wool is pulled. the
small bruises will render them less tame, and
more dificnlt IN handIe

Western fruit grower reports that he
made the following experiment: A branch one
inch in diameter was cut from tree of Rawle's
Janet on the first day Of each month in the
year, and at the end OF five years, when all
were heiled over, they were opened and found
to have decayed the least in those cut in Febru
AIRY and March (or just before the swelling of
buds,) and most in those cut in June or July,
or during the growing season. This goes to
show that the best time to prune fruit treeA is
early IN the spring, before the sap begins to Aow
freely, which has been the custom of most
fruil proRe rs for a canInrH mast.

TuR COMPOST uEAP.


Every farmer should have a summer COM
post heap, consisting % manure not sufficiently
decomposed to use iu the spring. Manure will
not decompose under cnver half as rapidly as
when exposed 10 the rains, therefore place your
compost heap out in the barnvaId CT in any
place where there will be but little waste from
being washed in heavy rains. A square heap
does very we'll as u shape, and the top should
be made hat so as not to shed rain. The more
straw mixed with il the better, as the decom-
position Of the straw produces certain acids
which tend 10 fix" the Ammonia emitted from
the manure. The sides aud top Of the heap
should be covered with straw to prevent evap-
oration. No lime shnud be mixed in such
heap unless it is comprised Of very course ma
terials, with but little manure. Plaster may
be mixed to advantage as so absorbent of. the
ammonia of the stable dung. Salt is Of no par
tcular benefit over what il would be II applied
tn land separately. Muck is good that is,
muck from swamps which has been drawn nut
In the fall and left exposed to the frnsts of win
ter to become dis ntergated. This, IL mixed in
| layers with the compost heap, will imbibe the
gases and virtue of the stable dung, and the
next spring the whole heap will be excellent
| manure, and in q good condition 10 use on any
crop, but the heap ought tn be forked over
twice during the summer. II Is only the coars-
| er portions Of the contents Of the BARNARD and
gatherings of weeds, etc., during the summer,
that most require TO be composted, yet for
many crops, il tho heaps be properly managed,
almost the entire contents Of the stable and
barnyard would do better to lay over one sea-
son. Composing is injurious when large
portion Of the virtue Of the manure ia allowed
to escape into the atmosphere, by using no
muck or plaster and by not properly covering
| the heaps, or so making them that the rain,
are carried of instead Of penetrating through
them. Auv ordinary soil may be used in the
| place OF muck to about the same advantage,
