Blaine's Vindicati0n.
Pittsburgh Gazette. ]

Pittsburgh Gazette.
Mr.. Blaine's answer to the slander
against him in reference to those rail-
road bonds WAS given in Congress yes
terday, and was a manly eloquent and
convincing refutation of the charge.
Cleveland Herald.
Before he resumed his seat he must
have convince'i every candid auditor OF
the perfect injustice of the charges
which had been cencOcted against him.
They can no longer exist.
Cleveland Leader.
Each separate charge is plainly and
directly denied, and the denial backed
and strengthened by the written testi-
mony of the parties reported to have
been connected with and cognizsnt OF
he facts.
Cincinnati Commercial
Mr.. Blaine's personal explanation
merits very considerate reading. II
seems to have the corners on it. Blaine
should demonstrate with some OF
his friends for the strange habit they
have of suggesting or asserting myster.
ious circumstances in his business.

HALF dozen of the Confederates
who were thrust into important posi-
tions in the House, to crafty the Dem-
ocratic hatred of ex-Union soldiers,
have turned out rascals and have been
discharged. That is to say, without
any effort in the way of investigation,
that number have been caught at their
disreputable practices. How many
Others may be using thefacilities afford
ed by their offices to line their pockets
at the public expense will perhaps ap-
pear when investigation shall work
both ways. Democratic reform does
not invite the confidence of the Nation.

The Democrats caught tartar when
they went into that New York election
business. Congress passed law tc
prevent, detect, and punish election
frauds. In 1872 the most enormous
frauds were exposed in New York, and
it cost $4,000 to pay the expenses
This was taken from the fund provided
for the Department of Justice, and the
Democrats supposed they would be
able to show the money was used fol
corrupt purposes, whereas i. was used
to insure q fair election and punish
frauds upon the ballot-box. The re
suit of the investigation has been to cal
attention anew to the New York Dem
ocratic election frauds.

Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent Of
their understandings as well as children,
and can be as easily damaged or ruined by
bad management We believe that the
great difference found in horses as to vici-
GUS habits or reliability comes more from
the different management Of men than
from variance of natural disposition in the
animals. Horses with high mettle are
more easily educated than those of less or
dull spirits, and are more susceptible to il
trimming, and consequently may be good
or bad, according to the education they
receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not BY any
means proof against bad management, for
in them may often be found the most pro-
vOking obstinacy; vicious habits of differ
eut characters that render them almost
entirely worthless. Could the coming
generations of horses in this country be
kept from their days of colthood to the age
of five years in the hands of good, careful
managers, there would be seen a vast DIFF
ference in the general characters of the
noble animals.
If colt is never allowed to get an adj
vantage, it will never know that ii posses
ses power that man cannot control; and
If made familiar with strange objects, it
will not be skittish and nervous. If a
horse is made accustomed from his early
days to have objects hit him on the heels,
back, and hips, he viii pay no attention to
the giving out of harness or Of a wagon
running against him at an unexpected
moment.
We once saw an aged lady drive high.
spirited horse, alta ched to carriage, down
steep hill, with no holdback straps upon
the harness, and she assured US that there
was no danger, for her son accustomed bis
horses to all kinds of usages and sights
that commonly drive the animal into
frenzy Of fear aud excitement.
A gun can be fred from the back of a
horse, an umbrella held over his head,
buffalo robe thrown over his neek, rail-
road engine pass close by, his heels bump
ed with sticks, and the animal take is all
as a natural condition of things, if only
taught by careful management that he will
not be injured thereby. There is great
need Of improvement in the management
of this noble animal; less beating wanted
and more Of education.-h-D Door and Out.

A Yorkshircman having killed pig,
and not wishing to divide with his neigh
bors, as was the custom, said to his man
who by the way, was SOU ufthe Emersld

"Bedad, sir, said Pat, "its myself that

So when the pig was cleaned, it was
hung up outside, SO that the neighbors
might see it, The countrymau anxiously
awaited the approaching night, aud at last
retired to bed, but not to sleep. Pat,
under the cover of the darkness Of the
night, crept round the house and stole the
pig.

Yorkshireman when, at early dawn, he
arose to hide away his pig, but found no
pig there, can be better imagined than

"Master, how about the pig p

THE WINTERS STUDY.

Now that the season for active labor is
over, the farmer has leisure before him
that may be turned to good account.
With the general spread Of information,
the farmer cannot afford to be behind his
fellow citizens in the knowledge Of com
mon things. Every farmer should club
with his neighbors to form library Of at
least one hundred wen selected, standard,
practical books, relating, FIRST to his own
profession, agriculture, and the sciences
connected with it; there are now many
excellent, plainly written manuals, upon
all the collateral sciences, then there should
be works on American and general history,
on political economy and lastly in general
literature.

The theory Of your correspondent on
leached ashes, does not agree with my ex-
perience Il have reference to wood ashes
only.) ! am no chemist, but have had
some experience with ashes, both leached
and unleaehed, as fertilizer. ! will
simply give as my opinion that there is
something besides potash that gives value
to leached ashes as fertilizer; and my
reason for my opinion is that / have found
leached ashes so nearly equal as fertili-
ger TO those unleaehed, and that age and
exposure do not decrease the value Of
leaehed ashes. Sixteen years ago used
pile Of leaebed ashes that had lain over
thirty years, having been leached for black
salts BY my father when he first cleared
the farm. | applied them as a top dress
ing for wheat, and seeded with timothy
and clover in March following. The field
was used for meadow a few years, and
has been used as pasture ever since.
The effect of the ashes was beyond my
expectation, both for the wheat and grass.
and is noticeable yet in the firm szard and
the eloseness with which it is grased by
the stock. Ny success with leacbed ashes
induced me % make some experiments
with unleaehcd. Surprising that the pot
ash was al that gave them value, / rea-
soned that one bushel Of unleaehed would
be equal to ten OF fifteen Of leached, and
top dressed my wheat accordingly. In
this however, was mistaken; the result
did not prove as satisfactory, and although
/ consider them valuable il properly used,
! have never received 50 satisfactory a re-
suit from their use as from The use Of
lesehed ashes. For she pas, six years |
have nzed about 1000 bushels year Of
ieaehed ashes op my farm for various
crops, and eau recommend il as one Of the
best fertilizers that I have ever used. Il
shows is effects loager than any other
