quently nominated this same man to lu-
crative position, but the Senate refused to
confirm the nomination. In 1875 the city
OF Brooklyn indicted, tried and convicted
several Charity Commissioners for rob.
bing the people of large sums Of money.
The ring men requested, Gov. Tilden TO
appoint one Of these cOnvicts, who is a
valuable ally ut election times, to a valu.
able position. Other men, without ref
erence to party, Of course protested
against the appointment. The appoint
ment was however made by the Govern
or, and the appointee is now drawing a
salary from the State Treasury. Per
haps these are acts which become n
good Governor" and man who Is
using reform" capital.
Gov. Tilden lays claims to reducing
the debt and taxes of the State. In the
first place an Executive cannot do this;
in the second place the changes in these
items, which did occur in 1876, were the
result of Legislation by previous Legis-
lature and by an amendment of the Con-
stitution adopted in 1874; and in the
third place the State taxes were never so
high in the history of the State, into
$56S,OO0, rs they are the present year.

At that time they returned to desolated
country in an impoverished condition,
and resentful under the disappointment
and chagrin Of defeat. They returned to
q new order of things. They found q
race of people emancipated and placed
on an equal footing, upon whom they
had subsisted as upon the labor Of their
mules and cattle. They did not return
to work out their own destiny and build
up new fortunes by their own energy.
They were sullen, and awaited in sloth-
fulness an opportunity for renewing
their accustomed bravado. The result
has proved all this. As amnesty has
been freely dealt out to them, until there
is not man left except JEFF. Davis who
cannot be restored to full privileges of
citizenship upon application, they have
abused IL to revive the old sentiments
which the Republicans believed they had
whipped out and exterminated. They
are as unwilling to toll for their sub
sistence now as they were in the days Of
slavery before the war. They still aspire
to live as they did then upon the surplus
earnings of the blacks and the yield Of
political place. They look to a restora-
tion of the Democratic party for renew

national affairs, for they know the Dem
ocratic party will owe its success to them
and that they will control the caucus

which there will be no lawful means of

logical conclusions from Col. Ingersoll's

the danger is not threatening enough to

Reading and Thinking Farmers.

We believe that the great want of
farmers as class is more education.
We complain of the overreaching avari-
ciousness of other classes. We complain
of the manner in which we are imposed
upon by those who compel us TO pay .ex-
travagant prices for what we want TO
buy, and who, in turn, give us but small
compensation for our labor We must
make our intelligence as class equal to
that of Others. We must prepare our
selves 10 fill responsible position in
society, and then farmers win exert an
influence more in proportion to their
numbers and the vast industry which
they represent.
Farmers are not lacking in natural in.

Clearing Waste Places.

I
A LITTLE labor, we'll expended, goes d
long way in cutting weeds and bushes
along the fences and other waste places.
This work is continually becoming
greater by neglect. Many miles of stone
fence are built each year for the sake of
getting rid of the stones. In some cases
the fence could be dispensed with, and
in others q good board or other wooden
one could be constructed for less than
half the money. Here, again, If one has
the material and the other kind of
rocks in abundance there is nothing
more desirable on a farm than well-built
stone walls. In theory, as well as in ac-
cordance with much of the teaching he
receives, the farmer can have things
generally about to his mind, but in prac-
tice there are more difficulties 1t may
not be just the most high-toned thing
imaginable to ask with reference to every
operation, Will it pay?" but what are
we going to do about itP The divinity
that shapes our ends" requires most of
us to do some trough hewing" as well as

commenced the attack, firing three or

He "Tumbled" Too Late.

A Cheyenne dry goods house was en-
tered the other day by a young lady,
and after a clerk had shown her all
the cheap goods he had, she broke out
with: "These goods are very nice and
cheap, but my desire is to obtain a pair
of circular elastic appendages, capable
of being contracted or expanded by
FURNISHED steel appliances, and which
are utilized for retaining in proper posi-
tionthe habiliments ofthe lower extrem-
tiles" The clerk opened his eyes, but
was determined to be equal to the &C.
casion and not allow the young lady to
think he did not know her wants, and
said: "We're just out Of EN-" After
her departure he remained silent for a
few minutes, when a new light broke
upon his distracted brain, and he broke
forth with: "By scissors! I'll bet that
oma wants a pair of garters."

Our Wisconsin girl sent us her New
Years card last evening. OF course,
we were glad to receive it; but the
great Joy that might otherwise have
sent the pleasing sensations around
over our system was, in a measure,
killed by the sad thought that a young
mar with red hair and white eyebrows
had tied his card on to the other one
with a white ribbon. A minister of
the gospel sent out to preach the truth
to all people did the business, and still
hopes for salvation.

tions, and closes with the following
threat: Twill our newly elected Coun-

ton be able to see to it that this matter

or UiH it be necessary for the Legislature
to forbid any clergyman, preacher, priest
or rabbi holding the office Of Superintend-

The amiable suggestion is here made
that if a single superintendent fail to
come up to the ideas of the writer, all
clergymen, preachers, priests and rab-
bis shall be disqualified from holding a
particular office. From answering ques-
tions asked without a name given, and
under such a threat, 1 am sure sensible
people will excuse their
