The Confederate Reformers in the
Saddle.

A private letter written at Port Glib
son, Miss. October II, by responsible
and prominent Republican of that place
to a friend in Washington. shows what
dreadful trials the Republicans Of Missis-
sippi are enduring in defense Of their
cause. No one need doubt the exact
truthfulness Of the writer's statements:
We are in an awful condition 1 ow All
sorts of deviltry is going on, al d this,
too, notwithstanding the fact that the
Republicans have not held a meeting as
yet. ! will me alton only few of the
White Line doiugs:
A short time since a white boy shot a
colorgd d man down on the streets of Po I
Gibson without excuse or justifc cato D,
and without even q pretext No arrest
was made, or notice taken Of il.
A few weeks ago a colored church was
entered by White Liners at night when
a religions meeting was being held. They
fired pistols, yelled, and cut up generally
s~fficie1t to break up the meeting and
drive every one away in terrible fright
In some portions Of the country they
make it practice to 20 in a crowd OF
ten, fifteen, or twenty to a negro quarter
and ride through hallooing, shooting off
their pistols, cursing, &c.
They went the other night and took
ont three colored men and proposed to
hang them. They hung up one when an
other broke away and run for dear life,
they firing at him to kill Then they
cut down the other before life was ex.
tinct, and took his pledge to join them.
This is done to force the colored voters
into Democratic clubs, the club giving
each one who will thus join them a GER
tificate entitling them to the protection
Of the Democrats.
The White Liners now nightly patrol
the roads within three miles of Port Glib.
son, and one, is reminded OF the worst
times Of the rebellion.
These are facts, but not half the facts
that could be told had | the time and
were it any use.
We are entitled to 800 majority in
this county, as you know, but unless
there be change and protection comes
from some quarter there will be no Re

will have things all their own way. OH
how desperate ! grow when | think OF
these things and can see no daylight any

abandoned to the hate aud revenge oil

The Days are Shorter Growing


The days are shorter growing,
And lower down the sky
The sun his course is going,
AS day by day rolls by;
And, as the sun from DER us
Removes his watchful care,
The autumn comes before us,
With melanchOl Y chorus
Attuned to dreary air.
The days are shorter growing,
And going
The sun to skies more fair.
The days are shorter growing,
And southwark with the sun
Tho summer warmth is flowing,
For summer days are done.
Hnd now we sing with Auberi
Forgetting Strauss air;
For in the brown October
We grow mature and sober
Aud Tllcn unaware.
The days are shorter growing,
And blowing
The bleak hItumnal air.
The days are shorter growing.
And skies, so blue alway
In summer, now are showing
More sober tones Of gray.
Bat, though the skies are graycI
And lower in their tone,
The foliage Is gayer,
As though some weifd assaycr
His wOndrous skill had shown.
The days are shorter growing,
And glowing
The foliage TO atone.
The days are shorter growing,
And evanescent joys
The summer e'er was showing
Seem now rs sweet alloys.
How quickly loves already
OF summer we resign!
Grown Older now and steady,
We call for joys more heady,
To match our older wine.
The days are shorter growing,
And going
Life's sun in fast decline.
The days are shorter growing,
And soon the vivid glow
The autumn's woods are showing
VIII yield to shroud ofsnow.
All! then shall we remember
The spring and summer past,
And, as the years last ember
Yields ashes in December,
To shiver at the last.
The days are shorter growing,
FOreshOwing
Too soon die winters blast.
What, though, then, shorter growing
The days now with us are?
Another seasons showing
Will naught reveal to mar;
And in the gladsome hours
OF spring the sun shall rise
And gild the resh-blown flowers
And warm Loves jasmine bowers
Again from deep-blue skies.
The days are shorter growing,
But, knowing
Their course, we dry our eyes.
LIES days are shorter growing,
And lower sweeps the sun,
Erst in the zenith glowing,
Toward nearing horizon.
And soon shall age be creeping
Upon Us, ere we Know,
And younger ones be weeping
As they leave us, in death sleeping
Beneath life's wiDtIy snow.
LIES days are shorter growing,
Foregoing
The fieeting joys below.
Life's days are shorter growing,
And soon shall be no more;
But, after Charon's rowing
Has placed US on yon shore,
We feel that high and higher
Will shine a brighter sun,
Our longings to inspire,
And never pale its fire,
Nearing the horizon.
Life's days are shorter growing,
But glowing
In promise meath that sun.

Farm Gardens,

A correspondent of the Scientific Farmer
says: whether or no the garden gives us
pleasure depends upon the place it occupie s
in the farm economy, as likewise whether or
no it gives profit. So long as I held the gar
den at arms length, as something apart from
the farm, and the manure and labor put into
it as so much stolen from the farm itself and
to be almost apologized for, the garden and l
were not friends; and found friendiness
with our labor here, as elsewhere, is essen
tial to the highest success. But when come
round to the household point of view and
took counsel of the family, and adopted the
garden into my care as something worthy of
it, the kitchen farm and the big farm 90 on
well together. Charity, they say, should
begin at home. Methinks our farming
should begin in the garden and get out of It
only when the household has ample pro.
vision made for its own table. The garden.
too, is the best of schools, and find it rare
that the farmer steps from the good garden
to the poor farm. III cannot get out of the
garden, L had better not try the farm; but in
practice one should not bar the other but
assist. The order should be, not from the
farm to the garden but rather from the gar
den to the farm"

Itinerant Threshiny Machines.

A writer in the New York Times says:
The greatest evil to which farmers are ex-
posed by patronizing travelling threshers, is
the carrying of foul seeds from one farm to
another. If one farmer raises red root or
Canada thistle, the seeds are sure to be car
ried all through the neighborhood by these
threshers and clover hullers. The remedy
suggested is for good, tidy farmers to club
together and buy thresher- not the large
six or eight horse powers, but good tread
power as now made, with level tread, that
will thresh two hundred bushels day, with
one team and three men. SIT is far safer"
he says, s'more profitable because less expen-
sive, costing not more than one-half, some
say not more than one-third as much per
bushel to thresh grain as with the travelling
machines, and it relieves the house of a
small army Of men. As long as travelling
machines are used from farm to farm,they
should be brushed and swept from top to
bottom before moving from each station
This is the only precaution that can be taken
to guard against the dissemination of foul
seeds, except the plan above suggested"

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
suppIementing the Hay Crop.


We should judge that there would be a
good crop of hay this year, but as there are
always exceptions to the general rule there
Will doubtless be many farmers in all who
will not obtain their usual quantity. In
these cases it will be well to sow some fodder
corn or Hungarian grass, or perhaps, as
matter of experiment, small piece of each.
by growing both crops the same year the
farmer could very readily determine which he
would grow in the future. If properly
grown, both crops are very good indeed.
Both may be fed green, or be cured and used
for winter food. And the fact that many in.
telgent farmers prefer one while many 9TH
ers who are just as intelligent prefer the 9TH
er renders it probable that there is but very
little real difference in their real value. I'm
der some circumstances corn may be grown
to better advantage than the grass, while I'M
der other conditions the reverse may be true.
But as both are good crops, the farmer will
not go far out of his way in growing either of
them. The common grass has now got so
nearly matured that pretty correct opinion
concerning its yield can be given. The farm
er should therefore examine his fields and
see whether his hay crop is coming up to the
average or not. If he finds that his crop will
be light, it will certainly pay him to NOW a
piece at once, plow and harrow it well, and
SOW either corn or Hungarian grass. They
may not do quite as well on the turf as they
would on land that had been cultivated, but
they will prove great deal better than moth
ing, and if properly managed fair crop may
be secured. Although it is later than we US
ually put in fodder corn, it is not too late to
get crop to feed dry in the winter. The
corn should be sown in drills In which a
quantity of manure has been placed, or, if
planted without manure, liberal applications
Of ashes and plaster. or of some of the COM
mercial manures, should be made to the crop
when it is hoed. If Hungarian grass is
grown instead of corn, there is no special
haste about sowing the seed, though we
should rather do it before long than to wait
until the hurry of haying. While the major
ity of farmers may not need anything of the
kind, we think that many, in all, may be
benefited by the suggestions we have made.

Civilization i'm Sen saII.

With press of work often the cultivation
of hoed crops is put off until the weeds have
attained considerable size, even so as to
overshadow the crop. This is a mistake.
Every weed not destroyed is sapping the
ground of the nutriment that is just in the
best condition for the growing plant, but if
the weed is destroyed as it comes out of the
ground it has as yet only taken its nutrition
from its own seed. Again, a single motion,
when weeds are tiny, will destroy hundreds,
where If allowed to remain some time longer
each individual specimen will require the
same effort. Here is where the stroke in
time saves ninety-nine or more. This is most
emphatically true in the growth of onions,
beets and other crops closely sown, which re-
quire hand work entirely. In case of pota-
toes, the plan of narrowing after planting
and before they are far advanced is growing
in favor. This allows the crop to have a
not in the least injured by the harrow.-De-
troit Free Press,

THE Use OF MACHINERY.-The use of ma.
chinery upon the farm is doubly beneficial. 1t
not only reduces the labor, lessons the cost of
products, saves time and enables larger sur
face to be cultivated, but it actually necessi-
tates better and more careful work. To plant
thst the sod be well turned over and covered,
and no trash left upon the surface to interfere
with the regular dropping of the seed NOR must
loose stones be left in the way. 1t is the same
with all other machinery, and this indirect
benefit is not the least by any means of those
that we gain by the use of farm machines.
