This will scarcely do. Did Mr.. Tilden
get On other fees for a whole year,
notwithstand his large practice as a
corporation lawyer? Had he no div
idends, interests, rents or other re-
sOurses, notwithstanding he had al
ready amassed large fortune? It
Is more probable that his income for
the year 1852 was 500, 900, the $40, 900
having been but single item but he
swore that it was $7,1lS. The theory
of Mr.. Tilden's defence would enable
any man so disposed to white his
income down to insignifcance. The
professional man might with equal
propriety maintain that he really be-
gan to earn his income of this year
when he was a school-boy, as it was
there he began the education which
subsequently secured him his income.
This is the "reductio ad absurdum."
The simple fact is that a sworn state
ment has been found in which Tilden
admits that in 1862 he received $4,000
for services to one client alone, and
another sworn statement In which he
claimed that his entire income for that
year was only $7,11S. And to made
the matter worse, one of these sworn
statements was made for the purpose
of swIndling the Government out of Its
tax at time when its necessities were
greatest. Yet the Democratic party
still desires the people of the country
to elect this man the Chief Magistrate
/ of this nation"

DEAR NEWS: Nearly every body is
either threshing or blowing for wheat.
The rust as commonly called has dam
aged wheat more than at first suppos-
ed. And l am not certain that rust
alone can be blamed for all. About
the time whaet was blooming we had
several days in succession of quite
windy weather. We know that rye is
often shortened by unfaVorable wealth
er, at the time of blooming. And why
may not wheat from the same cause ?
We are somewhat led to this conclu-
sion from the fact that wheat stood as
well on the ground as usual, and was
larger headed, and the grains in many
pieces are well matured, yet the yield
is not much over one halt crop when
the quantity of ground in is taken in
consideration. Mr.. Harden Pinker-
toms averaged % bushels per acre OF
good wheat. 1t was sown early on
second bottom, and well put in. Third

ers, sown last October, 9 bushels
per acre, very fair, enough straw fol-
twice that. Second bottom, l. d. Fer
guson's made 191a bushels per acre
Second bottom, second crop, very

els per acre. On bottoms, half that
From indications now, but little late
wheat will be sown this season, but
more will be put in than ever before
in good time. Corn is all that coulC
be desired, and some are beginning Il
cut it up.
Immigrants are again pushing TO
the west, and although this county il
sparcely settled and splendid improve,
farms here, lying uncultivated, yOl
might as well try to settle a swarm o
bees by talking to them. as to ge
them to stop here. You've no her
law, is the answer. Well, let then
go, we'll content ourselves and be be
hind. It is so nice to have a few ricl
men, and the cattle on thousant
hills.
What prospect, Notwithstanding
lies before this country. The mines
minerals and mineral waters of Color
ado will soon draw an immense immi
grafton. Towns, villiges and cite
will very soon be there, anu south
western Kansas will have anothe
string to her bow. Health good, an
plenty of rain.

although as soft as possible to the

colors made it anything but favor

This weed, frequently called
"pusly'' in many places, is q great
nuisance, owing to the rapidity OF
its growth, and that it takes root
in the driest weather when cut up
and allowed to lie upon the sur
face of the soil. But many per
sons cut up this plant in their gar
dens and throw it upon their ma
nure heap, not thinking of its Au-
merous seeds, which are like small
grains of black sand; and if ripe
the result is that they thus seet
down their gardens year after yea
to this weed in the use of the ma

twenty flowers, and each fiowe
