Editors of the Register.
Having seen nothing IN your paper
from this vicinity, l will write line
provided you will give it space.
We are mostly farmers here, with
few minister, doctors, mechanics, mer-
chants, sc but farming is in the lead
Wheat will not be Il heavy crop, owing To
the March freeze. Corn looks fine, and
there is Il great deal of it planted. Oats
and grass are good. There will be u
large hay crop if the season Is good tw,
weeks longer.
Farming is not MS judiciousl y followed
here rs it ought " be, the chief ambition
being who CO. farm the most land, and
not who can raise the most grain OH oil
the smallest quantity of land.
To raise big crops on small areas we
must farm right, save everything that Is
of tertiIizing nature, and put 1t on the
land; but there are some men IN our
State who, if you were to tell them they
would raise better crops If they msnured
their land, would get insulted, and So!
our fathers lived on it without improv
ing it, and we can also. We must use
our heads as we'll as our hands, for we
have to keep the machine running. Bet
ter work than starve, and we don't mean
to starve.
Politics are raging, but l think We
have a good State ticket. Let US Demo.
cracts prove true in the present cam.
nsign. and show the sister States that We
have honest men and can elect them.
Respectfully,
SAMUEL JACK.

Thil House alone has the constitutional
poFsr to perfect a radical reform. The
Constitution provides that "no money
shall be drawn from the Treasury but in
consequence OF appropriations made by
law and that "all bills for raising rev.

resehtatives." These provisions were
designed to invest in this House the en-

The Marquis of Tweeddale.

Lord Tweeddale, whose death was lately announced by cable, was born in 1787, and was thus thirteen when the parliamentary union with Ireland took place, which now seems such a long time ago. He succeeded his father when only seventeen, and entering the army saw much service. He was aidde- camp to Wellington, always fond of hay ing young men of rank about him, in the peninsula, and was wounded at Busaco in 1910. In after years Lord Tweeddale was made field marshal, and colonel of the Second Life Guards. He was not in private life 8 man of any particular merit. His temper was arbitrary, and as father he did not shine. He had very large family-no less than thirteen children. The fourth daughter married tho present Duke of Wellington, and was in former years we'll known as the beautiful Lady Douro, 10 whom her father-in-law was so devoted. The youngest is the wife of Sir Robert Peel. Lord Tweeddale's oldest son, George, Earl of Clifford, married in October, 1862, the mother of Lord Dufferin, and died within ten weeks of his marriage. This marriage was of the most romantic character. One of Lord Tweeddale's theories, which he carried into practice, was that peers eldest son could almost dispense with education, and thus it came about that Lord Clifford grew up imperfectly educated. Becoming acquainted with Lord Dufferin, he was introduced to his mother, one of the gifted grand daughters of Sheridan, and began in the accomplished society which surrounded her to feel painfully conscious of his de- fciencies. Aided and encouraged by her, the y6ung man went to work, and soon made up for lost time but mean while he conceived for his instructress the deepest devotion. Lady Dufferin, however, being many years his senior, consistently declined his repeated offers of marriage, but at length he fell into i'll health, and it became evident that his days on earth would be few. At his urgent entreaty, therefore, that he might sec her bear his name, Lady Dufferin at last consented to become Countess of Clifford. Ten weeks later Lady Clifford was again widow.

An Exciting Incident at Sea.

The English ship Tenedos is home ward bound, after four years on the Pa cific station. She was making for the gulf of Penas, when the gale sprung up, which made Cape Tremontes on lee shore. Toward night it moderated, and Captain Pollard, before turning in for the night, ordered fires to be banked and the ship to proceed under topsail. She went spinning on at nine knots an hour, the shore being supposed to be thirty miles distant. About two in the morning Lieutenant Graham, officer of the watch, reused the captain, saying he felt uneasy, and asking if the course should be changed or steam got up. Captain Pollard, however, ordered him to keep on the same course until four o'clock. Soon afterward land was sighted close under the lee bow. The helm was instantly ported, and the ship was answering excellently, when the lookout man shouted Breakers on starboard bow" Lieutenant Graham rushed for ward and through the intense darkness hundred yards away. It was instantly ing toward the open sea, and whether OuC1O "cS CAduAOA O0UWCCu bu0 IOC6 and the mainland could not even be guessed. To venture this was the only chance, however. and Graham, without one moments reflection, had to act. He shouted Helm hard starboard, square yards, clear lower deck, call the cap tain." Every order was obeyed witt lightning alacrity, and there ensued 8 fev moments of intense excitement and sus pense. On rushed the Tenedos, ap parently to certain destruction. Les than minute after she swept througl a narrow channel, almost grazing thu huge rock on one side and within hundred yards of the mainland on ta' other. As ten score men rushed ul from below and saw how narrowly the, | had escaped destruction, even hard, sailors burst into tears, and Lieutenan Graham was overwhelmed with thank and congratulations.

Peruvian Syrup vs. Alcoholic Tonics.

It has been a desideratum with the medical profession to procure preparation of iron less objectionable than any of those now ill use, which often produce unfavorable effects upon the system, especially when prepare ed with alcoholic fluids.
 In many cases of debility and oonvalescence from disease, where tonic is indicated, wine brandy, porter, etc, have been recommended d; but these arc of very doubtful efficacy, to gay the least Alcohol is never digested, is ranked among the diffusible stimuli, and is incapable of affor0inS Dutrition. It creates generally an unnatural excitement and derangement of the circulation, irritating the whole system by preventing the blood from losing it's carbon. Again, how difficult it is to obtain an article approaching to purity, almost ali the wines, brandies, porters, etc., being more or less adulterated.
 Such being the case with regard to the spiritUous preparations of iron, and the alco- holic drinks, of which any ore can satisfy him. eelf by investigating the subject, an oppor- tunity is now presented in the Peruvian Syrup, for the trial of article in general practice which has the very strongest recon. mendations from medical ard scientific mer of the highest character-a preparation which go happily combines the protoxide of iron with the other constituent parts that the effects incident to the use of iron salts are entirely obviat ed.
 For all cases in which iron or any tonic if needed this preparation is confidently believed to be far superior to any other. IL seems te purify tho very fountain of health.

Discipline at Annapolis.

Several young men have been expelled from the academy at Annapolis because "they will not tell who dld it." In the theory of discipline their act is an of fense in the theory, of schoolboys the world over their act is one of generous devotion and lofty virtue. Is there any theory or any line of conduct on which these two can be reconciled2 Evidently not. It is not possible at school any more than elsewhere in the world to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds at the same time. Persons responsible for the good order and discipline of colleges of every grade have pretty we'll made up their minds that some old fashioned but one sided and ruffianly sports of the students must be stopped j; and that resolution is 90 evidently just that all reasonable steps which may be deemed necessary to give it effect must be regarded as good. The supremacy of order in an institution of learning Is of more consequence than the fate of half dozen students and if practical jokes of barbarous nature can be stopped anywhere they may be certainly in school where the relation of pedagogue and pupil is assimilated by the nature of the case to that officer and soldier. But we would simply call at- tention to peculiar, practical result ill the case. Here are some scores of gen. tlemen who may be called upon in the future to serve the country in battle, and we should stimulate in them the generous and gallant qualities of human nature. But what do we do9 There are two groups, those who are found out and those who are not. To defend those who are not found out, and who are commonly the leaders, the others "die game. To be equally generous the un- discovered should, as soon as the case was seen to be critical, disclose them selves come fairly out, acknowledge their acts and "stand the racket" It is cowardly to do otherwise, and they dc otherwise. They remain in the school: the gallant boys, the victims of mis. taken sense of honor, are expelled. Thus the discipline of the school dis. eliminates against the very qualities "ilch tne sUhool should endeavor to cultivate. York Herald.
