The Risk Of a Change.

We must have change of Admins
tration," shout the Democrats. But that
change would make the South master of
the Government. Then whatt Change
Of sweeping kind would be the order of
the day. A problematical future would
rise up before the people. In the thick
ening gloom of uncertainty-under the
menace Of indeterminate changes to be en-.
countered-with an indefinable dread lest
the days to come might contain disagree
able surprises for unwary capital-with a
strong sense of risk operating as a check
upon enterprise-what would the business
classes or the laboring population gain by
the change so loudly clamored for by the
Bourbon leaders of the party of dead
issues? The country cannot afford to
make the future of Governmental action
at all doubtful When men begin TO look
forward to dreaded complications, TO pre-.
pare against threatening contingencies, to
weigh unwelcome probabilities, to wait
for developments, and to arrange for the
worst. it is inevitable that the movements
OF industry should become sluggish, and
that the whir and rattle of machinery
should here and there be hushed into ap.
prehensive silence. Confidence, that
mighty incentive of the productive forces
that powerful and energetic auxiliary of
commerce-that strong supporter of push
and drive in business-would be forced to
retire from the scene of action. Nobody
can or could detail what measures of
policy would be pushed upon the country
should the party that attempted to destroy
the Union obtain control of the Govern
ment. Only this is absolutely certain:
The spirit of change would be in, over,
and around everything. That would be
calamitous. The country needs stability,
not change like that. A Republican
triumph would be a guarantee of stability,
because the policy of the party is settled,
fixed and matter of record. With Hayes
and Wheeler we know what to expect

Not An Obsolete Question.

Discussing the attitude of Samuel J..
Tilden during the war, Hdrper's Weekly,
which calls him copperhead and shows
up his anti Union record, says:
We are told that this is an obsolete
question. Far from it. The attitude and
conduct of every public man in this gen
GRAFTON, when the existence of the Govern
ment and human liberty itself were in
peril, can not be an obsolete question.
There are, indeed, present issues which are
commanding and pressing. But they can
be dealt with more wisely and fitly by
honest and experienced men, who were in
stinctively true and loyal TO the country
and its cause throughout the war, 1t is
not necessary that reformer' of to-day
should have been coppcrhead' of yes
terday, while the copperhead would desire
nothing more earnestly than that political
and patriotic memories should not extend
further than two or three years. The war,
indeed, is happily over, despite such con
slant and skillfuI hostility as that of Mr..
Tilden. But there are questions which
the war has left which cannot be treated
safely and wisely by party and poll.
ticians who neither approved the war nor
sympathized with reconstruction. A Dem
Ocratic restoration, with a candidate who
was not even war Democrat, would be

heye patriotic country will think long
before il decrees.N

called the "row system" The plants are
set eighteen inches apart in the row. and
the rows about three feet from each other.
During the cultivation the runners which
start out at right angles with the row are
removed or laid alongside Of the parent

will not only keep down the weeds, but
render the soil beneath moist, besides pre-.
venting the bespattering of the fruit with
earth during heavy rains. ir . ..t
The second year after the fruit is gath

be turned under for manure or removed

The soil should then be stirred between

course, be added If required, to keep

Don't Sweep without Sprlnkling the
Floor.

PERSONS who are accustomed to sweep
ing offices and shops should always sprin.
kle the floor thoroughly in order to lay
the dust and avoid inhaling it, as fatal re-
suits are liable to occur when this precau-
tion is unheeded. Mr.. John Winters. a
German, aged forty-nine, employed at
Messrs. ID. M. Osborne & Co.'s reaper
works as a man-Of-all-work, died suddenly
at about $50 O'Clock last night, at his
boarding place, No 81 Genesee street,
kept by John Dauer. He had within an
hour or so of his death been in his usual
health, but complained of sickness and
heat in his chest during the afternoon.
He laid down at Ave O'Clock on account
of this sickness, and DIR. T. X. Smith was
called. He sank rapidly, however, and
died as stated. Mr.. Winters was wild
over, his wife dying some two years
since. He leaves an only child, daugh-
ter of about seventeen.
Coroner Foster was notified by Officer
McDermott, and held an inquest this aft
ernoon, the jury finding as their verdict
that deceased came to his death on the
10th day of July, 1876, in the city of Au-
burn, from an accumulation Of dust in
the lungs and small bronchial tube to-
gether with inflammation of the inner
lining of the heart and blood vessels con
nected herewith" One of the duties of
deceased was to sweep out the shop each
day, and we are informed he was some
times negligent in regard to sprinkling
thoroughly.-Au6urn (N. ~ Adrertiser.

PRUNINe MELON VINEs.-Few persons
practice pruning cucumber, melon and
other similar kinds of vines, still it is Just
as beneficial If properly done as the an.
nual prunings of the grape and other
woody plants. The pruning should be
confined, however, to the pinching off of
ends OF shoots only Country Gentlemen.
THE Practical Farmer, speaking of
wash for bodies of fruit trees, recon-
mends the following One ounce of cop
peras to eight or sixteen gallons of water
forms good wash, and is advised for
trial as preventive against blight. One
pound of bleacher's soda and one gallon
OF water forms wash that cleans off all
insects and leaves the trees with fresh,
young looking, healthy bark.
WE can give our readers a useful hint
for utilizing their surplus water melons.
1t is this; Last year we saw some Virginia
farmers feed water melons TO their milch
cows, when they came up at night, with
very good effect, by increasing the guam
tity and improving the quality of their
milk. In other instances we have seen
the good results of feeding cows sound
water melons; after standing in the stall
or yard over night, they eat melons with
avidity in the morning. -Maryland
Farmer.
SOMETIMES wick becomes too short
to carry up the kerosene, and the lamp
goes out. If you have not time TO put in
a new wick, an exchange says, piece of
cotton rag pinned on below will answer
every purpose, and become good feeder.
If hole should become broken in the
glass chimney, paste on piece of paper,
which may often be done in moment,
and it will answer its purpose well for
long time, or until you get new chimney.
Sometimes the burners of lamps become
gummy, and prevent the wicks moving
freely. Boil them in suds over the fire a
short time, and they will become entirely
clean, and work we'll.
FARMER KENT has one and one-half
acres of potatoes. He uses shingle about
sixteen inches long and five inches broad,
narrowed at one end to suit the hand.
Sometimes he uses a whisk- broom, which
answers the purpose just as we'll, being
light and broad. With these, two men
get over the potato patch in one day The
plant is struck on one side with the shin
gle or broom, and the beetles fall off into
shallow, wide tin pans held in the left
hand. During last week one bushel of
beetles were in this way collected as the
result of one days labor of two men.

termination to the use of Paris green

The Rebellion OF the stomach.

The stomach Obstinately rebels against all
efforts to make it digest superabundant or
indigestible food. When fit of dyspepsia
has been brought on by over-indulgence in
the pleasures OF the table, or any other
cause, the invalid can obtain from Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters prompter and more
complete relief than from any other source.
This admirable specific not only renders d.
gestion active, but regulates the secretion
and distribution of the bile, re-establishes a
regular habit of body when costiveness ex-
lists, restores the appetite, soothes and inyig-
crates the nerves, and, II taken before retir-
ing, facilitates sleep. Under these happy
conditions, the dyspeptic or bilious subject
regains lost flesh, his spirits recover their
elasticity, and all the various and harassing
bodily and mental symptoms of chronic in.
digestion disappear.

1- The Detroit Tribune would like to
have the Chicago Times, which Is now
putting in its Tilden work daily, give its
views as to this paragraph which it publ
shed on June oath after the Cincinnati and
before the st. Louis Convention:
Tilden and Hendricks, two mere professional
party men, representing In combination nothing
but the 'time-hOnored habit Of the Bourbon
party to worship Good Lord and Good Devil,
would constitute probably the weakest ticket II
would be possible to concoct at St. Louis. II
OF total political deprayity. So palpable fraud
would disgust both the friends of honest money
and the deyotees Of the wretched legal-tendeI
swindle, and receive the appreciation OF none but
political hucksters.
eS- Noticing the statement of the Charles.
ton Neaos, TO the effect that the act of the
white murderers at Hamburg, S. c., is
sincerely condemned by the better class of
white people throughout the State, the
New York Times says: We do not doubt
it; but that only shows that the better class
of white people have little control over the
worse class. We have no desire to draw
partisan advantage from an occurrence SO
shocking and SO disgraceful to the whole
country. But we venture to ask all candid
men whether the ruffians like Butler and
his gang would have more or less license
than now in South Carolina If Tilden and
Hendricks were elected next fall?

The origin of words is always at
tractive study, but sometimes there is
more Imagination than fact in the dis
coveries made. Among the latest ori-
gins discussed is that of the noun " der
rick" meaning the lifting apparatus
everywhere used. The word is said to
have come from one Derrick, in England,
who was hangman. The Puritans brought
the word to this country; and, while the
executioner is quite forgotten, his name
lives, like that of NJ. Guillotin, in the
machine. Derrick" appears only in
American dictionaries.
