THE STATE CONVENTION.

The republican national convention, for
the nomination Of candidates for president
and vice president of the United States,
having been called to meet at Cincinnati,
June IA, the matter of delegates thereto
has commenced to excite discussion in this
MS well as other states. Already one or
two of the states have chosen their dele
gates, while Pennsylvania has called a con-
vention, for that purpose, williamsburg,
March 20, and Michigan at Grand Rapids,
May 10; nd some other states have issued
calls for their conventions at different dates,
while still others have not yet moved in the
matter.
The Vermont state convention has not
yet been called, and we see no particular
reason for haste in the matter. The Gus
tom in this state has been, TO hold the con-
vention at no great distance of time from
that of the national convention Thus in
1879, the national convention was held
June 5, and the state convention May
in 1868, the national May 10, and the state
March 10 and in 1864, the national June
7, and the state May II. We see no rea-
son to depart from this custom this year,
and, although it is not really matter of
much consequence, there are some reasons
why it should be adhered to.
The election, this year, is Que Of excep-
tional importance. For the first time, since
the first election of Abraham Lincoln, the
republican party go into the canvass with
out being able to discount the result with
an absolute certainty. That result will de-
pend upon the action of the national con-
yenton. With the right nominations, sue
cess is assured Without such Nominations,
defeat is probable, If not inevitable. There
are already several names mentioned IN
connection with the presidency need
not call the roll and, Ms 1t now looks, sue
cess is certain only with one of them, and
probable with one of two others. A week,
month, or two months may change all
this. A changed condition of affairs, grow
ing out OF The action, or non action, of
congress, or other causes, may necessitate
the selection of candidate not now prom
inent-and there are several that could be
named whose nomination ard election
would honor the republican party and the
country allke-or may render the nomina.
ton of other than one Of those now prom
inently named an act OF political suicide.
Events, however, are gradually shaping
themselves, and it the state convention is
deferred until within three or four weeks
OF the national convention, the republicans
OF Vermont will be able to act more intel
ilgentiy and wisely than at an earlier day.
FROM somewhat extensive acquaint-
ance with the popular sentiment of YER
mont, we believe that if the state conven-
ton were held, to-day, delegates would be
elected who would vote for one of two
candidates probably, the vote of the state
would be divided between the two. II the

Tel Trade Secrets,

In tea suit before Judge Larre.
more, it was shown that the tea mer.
chants employ ''tea tasters" to make
purchases; that in the export of teas
from China the external marks on the
packages are merely fancy to attract
the eye, as the custom of the market
here may be, and often they mark on
the outside better thanthe tea really
is. It BY no means describes accur-
ately the quality or grade Of the tea
contained in the box, as, for instance,
the tea marked on the outside, .sEng:
5lish Breakfast Tea. such name is
not known Ii reality in5the trade, and
such tea as that, as q tea doesn ex-
ist; it is either Congou or Souchong,
or some such class Of tea American
taste for teas, it was said, differs en-.
tirely from that Of the English, and
Japan teas are much more in favor
there than tinq England: Teas are
known and dealt in ins China by sschop''',
names; thus, a. chop of i Foochow,
Moyune, or Fychow will each contain
various kinds of tea, such as those
names here: Imperial, Young Hyson,
Gunpowder, and Twankey.s. Among
the "chop'' names are: Foo Hing, Suly
Hing, Qui Fun, Pun Fong, Ee Long,
and Fling Tai, the lastnamed being
the most celebratedsof the green teas.
A cargo Of tea costing on board ship
in China $35, 900, had cost $4,000 on
arrival here, and then yielded q net
profit of 81, 1000 by the cargo.

Practical Suggestions.

A correspondent gives his way of
building wire fence us follows: Set
good posts ten feet apart have five
wires, and put stays half way between
the posts; bore the posts with half
inch bit, and brace the corner posts
well. For stays get good fiat pickets
from the lumber-yards, and rip them
in two, putting them on with small
staples. So much for the fence. Now,
cultivate your ground close up to the
fence, in order to keep down the grass,
so as to discourage stock from putting
their heads through the wires. Use
No. 8 annealed wire. Thirty rods, or,
say, half coil, of wire is sufficient
length between rollers, the stays or
posts being five feet apart obviates the
necessity Of having the wires so very
tight. Level ground suits this kind OF
fence the best.

To Cook Beans.

When beans are kept over a year
or more they become rather diff.
cult to cook tender. One way to
accomplish it is to soak them over
night in soft water, and in the
morning put them to boil, putting a
quarter of teaspoonful of soda into the
water. The water must be turned off
as soon as it boils, and changed two or
three times. Have a teakettle of boiling
water ready to cover them when the
other is poured off, as cold water hard
ems them again. After they begin to
crack open they should be put in the
oven, with piece of pork previously
freshened, and water enough to keep
them from burning, and bake them a
couple of hours. Beans are health
full and convenient dish and should
often appear on farmers table, being
as good or better when cold than they
are when just cooked.
