have ruled New York for many
years through the most corrupt and
criminal means, and that there was
the most imminent danger that he
would blurt it out unless means we're
at once devised to secure his silence.
70 avoid that danger they informed
him that he must not talk more than
was necessary to answer the questions
of the committee in the most direct
and the shortest way.
Mr.: Blaine's last supplementary
statement has pretty eaectually
silenced his enemies and COM
pletely satisfied his political and
personal friends of his innocence
Of the charges and insinuations
against him. The investigation of
Secretary Bristow's alleged corrupt
action in the case Of the bark Mary
Merritt is devoid of interest. So far
not one iota Of evidence has been
produced showing any suspicion of
wrong doing on the part Of the sec-
Rotary; find no one giving tho least
credenee to his detractors. The scam
dial mongers have got around to
Mr.. Morton, but it is not likely that
his "Reminiscences yesterday in the
Senate relatiye to the condition Of
Indiana during the wax were pecu-
liarly grateful to his enemies outside
of Congress or to his copperhead .u-
ditors in the Senate.
The complaint relative to the
scarcity Of change has become 20
general that it is proposed in the
House to empower the Secretary Of
the Treasury to issue $1o,000,000
Of silver coin in exchange for an
equal amount of legal-tender notes.
The Insane Asylum investigation
is still in progress. The favorite food
Of the insane patients there appears
to have been tainted meat, judging
from the quantity supplied. What
ever the conclusions may be, I think
from my observations, that members
Of this community will hereafter be
very slow to send friends to that in
stitution for treatment while under
its present management.
Very little progress is being made
towards perfecting and passing the
necessary appropriation bills. There
is no discoverable disposition on the
part Of either the House or Senate
to recede from their positions rela-
tive to these bills.

ED1roR JoURNAL.-The extradi-
ton treaty existing between this
country and Great Britain was made
thirty.four years ago by Daniel Web.
ster and Lord Ashburton, and is now
likely to be abrogated because Of En-
glands refusal to deliver up to the
officer sent to bring him home, Wins
low, except upon a formal agreement
by this Government that he shall
not be tried for any crime other than
the one upon which the warrant Of
extradition is based. The spirit de-
veloped in the Cabinet meeting yes
terday indicates that q notification
will soon be sent to that very pune
tilious Government that Uncle Sam.
uel is DESTROYS that the tenth article
of that long.standing agreement
should be annulled. It was also de.
cided at that meeting, that copies of
any papers in tho executive Depart
ment will be furnished to Congress
sional committees desiring them in
stead Of. the original papers which
can now only be examined in the
Departments where they are fled.
The great Importance Of many of
/ them to the Government and the dan
ger If loss attending their withdraw
al and careless examination and
handling by clerks at the Capitol
furnish good grounds for this decis.
ion. It is understood that the Attor-
ney General gave it his decided ap-
prevail. 1t is probable that Barney
Caul6eld is q good deal dissatisfied
with himself, and that members of
Fthe Democratic party share this
feeling with him and include in their
disapproval every member of the
committee which investigated "little
Johnny Davenport" They don't
want any more such "Bonanza."
Mr.. Davenport's testimony, accord
ing to Democratic authority, would
furnish such clear proofs of the
President's guilty use of the secret
service funds to corrupt voters that
his impeachment had come to be
quite freely and confidently discussed
in advance of his (Davenport'D ap-
pearance on the stand. Since his

The Model Farmer.


The model farmer can't be found in
every neighborhood. You may even
tramp over half county possibly with
out meeting him. But when your eyes
once fall on the model farmer you may
know HIM by the following signs:
}. The model farmer thoroughly loves
his business regards it as one of theino-
blest of callings is wide awake to all
its interests, and takes an active part in
every enterprise to push them forward.
But our model farmer has no hatred Of
honest workers in other lines of industry,
and knows full well that every pursuit
is made prosperous through the harmony
and prosperity Of all the rest.
q Our model farmer is thinker.
He has laid out his farm with especial
reference to the highest possible conven-
fence. The arrangement of his barn,
fceding-sheds and pig-pens all show the
thoughtful purpose His fields are cul-
tivated with rotation of crops settled
upon years beforehand. The model far
mer likewise plans the work of the sea-
son so that every particular job has its
place, and there is no confusion or doubt
as to what comes next
g. The model farmer is likewise a
model business man. He is wary about
going into debt, knows just what his La
bilities are, keeps systematic accounts of
all his transactions, can tell you the ex-
act cost and profit of every crop and
every herd, meets his obligations with
promptness, and don't finish up new
house or new barn with mortgage.
4 The model farmer is model in
skillful farm management. He uses all
hbor-saving Instruments, but keeps
them in perfect order and housed wher
not in use. You will find on his tool:
neither rust nor rot He does everything
in its proper time--loves thoroughacss
hates weeds. hates slovcnly farming
gives his stock good shelter and album
dant food, but knows and practices thu
art of feeding for a specific purpose
whether for growth or fattening, butter
or work. IFe knows also the fitness o
particular soils to particular products
and plants accordingly.
He wastes no time You will not fine
him loafng in groceries or whiting the
dry-goods boxes Of the nearest town
His time is part of his capital. and he
invests it so at to get the greatest profits.
lie is also an economist of labor. He
seeks constantly to accomplish results
with the least possible wear and tear Of
muscle, and every genuine appliance fol-
shortening processes in labor finds favor
with him. Being far from market, he
condenses his products 50 as to transport
the highest value in the least bulk =
Consequently he raises the best stock,
keeps it 10 fine condition, and cultivates
the best of fruits -ProgrcSSige Farmer.

How TO CIR EARLY TomAroEs.
soon as your tomato plant has made four
leaves, pineh the top bud from the stem,
then take up the plant, pinch off two
inches from the top root and transplant
1t in common box frame, where the
soil is rich and loamy The box will
keep off the wind, and plants sown and
grown there eighteen inches apart will
produce fruit two weeks sooner than the
same planted in the open grond. A
mat of few boards, spread over the
frame at night, will keep them from
frost, and is far easier aud quicker than
going oyer a field nightly aud setting
boxes over each bill. AS soon as the
plants have set fruit on two blossoms Of
each branch, and the top has grown tive
to four leaves, the pinching of the ends
of each branch and top should be again
put in practice

Narrowing w heat.

The uniform testimony of all those
who have tried narrowing wheat in the
spring is, that it pays. One subscriber
ssys: II have acted upon the advice
given by you, and | find the result at
harvest most satisfactory. | began the
custom by narrowing fifteen acres, or
about one-half the usual number of acres
that I sow. My neighbors, who had
never it done, insisted that it would kill
it out. / shall continue the practice, as
/ have now procured one of the Thomas
smoothing harrows, which, in great
measure, enables me to dispense with the
roller, which | still use, however, when
the early spring is an UNUSUAL dry one
think by useng the harrow that the
wheat tillers is, stools-out better
than when it is not cultivated in the
spring"
Another subscriber writes as follows:
II find that narrowing wheat in the
spring pays we'll 1t gives the wheat a
good start and the narrowed portion
ripens as early as the unharrowed part,
and has heavier seed"
In narrowing wheat, care must be
taken that the soil is sufficiently dry, so
that the harrow will pulverize it nicely
In such cases, once narrowing is as ad-
vantageous to the wheat crop as one
good working of field of corn in the
early part Of its growth. Experience
and judgement must determine the pre-
else time when this work should be done.
1t should not be done until the frosts in
March are over, which will, however,
depend much upon the season.

SuNDRY Coon SUGGESTIONS. -Thc best
time to sow clover seed is from the mid
die of February to the last of March
early in the morning when the ground
is well perforated with frost. As soon
as the ground begins to thaw, quit until
the next frost. In this way the seed is
nicely covered
Iron weeds are very tenacious and
troublesome. Cut while in blossom
eighteen inches or two feet above the
ground, and they viii. be almost destroyed

Counsel for the plaintiff stated to the Court that he
