WHEAT GROWING UNPRoF1TABLE.-
The Wisconsin; Jefferson Co., Union
goes for wheat farming rough-shod.
There is some truth in the fist prop
ositions, and the latter are essentially
correct. It says:
Wheat growing has nearly ruined
this section of Wisconsin. It has
destroyed the fertility of one of the
best soils that ever the sun shone on.
It has introduced a vast army of in
sects which now stands ready to de-
stroy other crops. Worse than all,
it has struck the farmer himself with
a mental blight. Like iptemperance,
it steals away his brains making him
totally oblivious to his own folly.
The culture of grass and corn and
the raising of beef, pork, butter and
cheese is the remedy for our i'm
poverished farms and farmers. Dairy
men are getting rich, grain-raisers
are getting poorer every year. The
profits that come from grass culture
are not excessive, but they are sure,
and besides the farmer is not selling
out his farm by the bushel."

81 Do the people of the North
realize that Mr.. Tilden has received
majority of the popular vote in
Louisiana? Do they realize that all
the Republican claim of majorities
telegraphed North from that State
were based simply upon the determi-
nation to throw out votes enough to
make them good? Scarcely q word
was said in these dispatches of the
charges of intimidation and fraud
made since. They were bold claims
of actual majorities made in order to
keep up confidence in the North un-
til a scheme of fraud could be ma
tured. Now the Republican cores
pondents in Louisiana admit that a
majority of the vote cast is against
them, and yet declare that the cleo
toral vote of the State will be given
to Hayes.

An Important Letter.


ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 4.-Ex-Senators Catell
Schurz, John d. Henderson, and other
prominent men of this city, have forward.
ed letter to the President of the United
States Senate relative to counting the cleo.
toral vote, with a request that It be laid
before the Senate. They say tho present
condition of the country calls for some
action which shall settle the political dis.
quietude. The clause in the constitution
respecting the canvassing of the electoral
vote is quoted and pronounced indefinite
and liable to divers constructions. The
attempt to canvass the vote 10 joint session
OF Congress Is deprecated as certain u
raise partisan issues and develope strife
which may prove disastrous 10 the coun.
try. The letter then proposes, az Q rem.
edy, that the whole matter be transferred
to the Supreme Court of the United States.
It Is urged that that is the only tribunal
| from which fair, bipartisan decision.
one which will satisfy the whole people
can be obtained. To effect this the lettei
proposes that the two houses shall improve
the three weeks preceding Christmas in
framing and agreeing upon constitution.
| al amendment placing in the supreme
court the duty of canvassing the electoral
vote. Most Of the State legislatures meet
Immediately after the holidays when the
amendment could be submitted. The let
ter holds to tho opinion that the amend
ment would be ratified without delay, so
that 1t could be made part Of the cOnsti.
tuition, end apply to the present election.
Both Of the Presidential candidates, II ID
urged, would recognize the wisdom OF
this course, and both Republican and
Democratic legislatures would ratify.
The letter dwells ct length on the wisdom

The mother and the two nurse:

pick him up if he should grow toe
tired.
"The next morning the boy was
very tired, but the third and fourth
morning he could not help listen
ing to the cuckoo, and thinking
the very air sweet and balmy; and
the fifth day he even relished
the bread and milk in which the
powder was mixed.
Thus for six weeks he walked,
and went to school every day; his
cheeks grew rosy and his eyes
bright, and he no longer pushed
his bread and milk away, and he
slept soundly all through the night.
His mother was going to take him
home but the physician said:
"The serpents may he killed, but
they may have left young ones.
Unless you give him bread and milk
for breakfast, and send him to
school, and give him on sweetmeats,
they will grow within him and kill
him"
The mother gave the physician a
large fee, and took her little boy
home, but when he was grown up
and become tall strong man, he
called on the physician to thank
him for his prescription, for he had
learned the names of the two
poieonous serpents; they were

The Two Enemies.

There was once q little boy who
had everything his heart could
desire /; large house, beautiful
garden, a pony and a dog, and
many playthings. He had an in
dulgent mother and two nurses,
and they all tried to please him.
If he asked for sweetmeats they
were given him if he asked for
coffee and cake for breakfast, in
s.ead of bread and milk, he had
them. In winter he did not walk
out when it was too cold, nor in
summer when it was too hot and
yet in the evening he was rs tired
as if he had broken stones all day.
When he was twelve years old,
bis mother grew alarmed, for every
day he seemed to have a new form
of illness. She took him to the
cleverist doctor, but the. medicines
were of no use, for he threw them
into the corner, as he had his les
son-books aud his slate.
At length his mother took him
to a very clever physician in a
neighboring town. The physician
quickly found out what allied the
little boy, and he promised to send
prescription that would cure him.
The next morning this letter came !:
"DEAR SIR.-You have two poi
sonous serpents within you, that
are consuming your vital powers
daily and hourly. | cannot cure
you unless you come and live an
hours distance from my house.
Every morning before breakfast
you must walk to my house, and
then l will give you powder,
which with lotion in the after
noon, will kill the serpents. But
the powder will be of no avail un-
less you go to school two hours af-
ter it. Ii you do not take my med
icines you will not hear the birds
sing next spring.
The mother. of the little boy and
the nurses were very angry, but
the physician said that If they
would not follow the prescription
they might 60 to another doctor.
Then the doctor took the sick
little boy to his lodgings, an hours
distance from the physicians resi-
dence.
The first morning the little fell

"Ma says you are trying TO be

hope to be soon. Land is cleared and
sowed to fall wheat the first year, the
second year it is ready, If 50 desired, for
