ing until the stack bottom is sufficiently
large, taking particular care not to make it
too small, as the butts of the sheaves will
gain faster than the heads, by the time this
bottom course is large enough to be built
upon it is fiat. By this method the
heads of the bundles will never touch the
ground, and as the center bundles support
the greatest weight of the stack, and are
kept firmly in their position by the sur
rounding pressure, their firm condition will
prevent the middle of the stack from settling
as much as the outside, and consequently
prevent the admission of water into the body
of the stack.
Now, get on the stack and continue build
ing in this way, only keeping the middle
a little fuller than any other part of the
stack, kneeling down firmly every course
and keeping the outside of the stack as near
perpendicular as possible, until it has at
tanned height of about four feet, when be-
gin increasing the diameter, little by little,
very carefully and uniformly, by adding on
course after course, until the stack is
about eight feet high, at which point the
diameter should be greatest. Now, begin
contracting the diameter by /" drawing in :"
the outside course and keeping the middle
considerably fuller than the surrounding
parts. At this stage of the work cease
walking on the outside course, and to pre-
vent the outside bundles from slipping stick
the butt ends of the bundles firmly into
those of the course below it, and so on until
the stack is finished.
1t is not necessary to give the bundles
much slant in the lower half of the stack, as
they are not apt to slide out, but after be
ginning to draw in = from the shoulder o.
bulge of the stack, the slant should gradual
ly increase until the top Of the stack !
reached. Nor should it be forgotten tha
the sheaves as they come from the shocks IL
the field have one side longest, e., from
the bands to the butts, and in commencing
to form the swell or bulge OF the stack, th'
longest side of each bundle should be KEEP
upward, but as soon as the "drawing in
begins the short side should be placed up
ward.
One of the most difficult parts of buildin!
a stack is to know how to form the swell O
shoulder, !. e., where the roof of the stack
to join its body and unless the turn
made very gradual it will in settling be to-
abrupt, and thus not only affect the symmet
ry, but the safety of the stack. To keep tn
middle fullest from where you begin, III
creasing the diameter until the top of tn
stack is reached, is one of the direction
which cannot be too rigidly followed by tn
stacker.
The stacker should, of course, alway
have some person to hand him the bundles
as it not only assists him very materially
! his laborious and difficult task, but the yer
act of walking over the stack aids in packin
the bundles much closer in the center, an
! thus prevents its settling as much as the otl
er parts of the stack. If the above dire
E tions are followed the stack or rick will nj
, only present smooth, uniform surface, bl
: never take water, and therefore escape a
loss from loose and careless stacking.-Ba

| Republican ratification meeting: and
what do you think Of the speeches made
on that occasion2
Al was not present. but read the
speeches, and must say that they con-
tain much more buncombe than
practical sense. It Is not true, as was
claimed on that occasion, that the ke-
publican party of Louisiana is at present
more thoroughly organized than ever
before. 1t Is more disorganized. Mr..
Packard, in his speech, claimed that
Gov. Wise called for national aid to sup
press the John Brown raid, while the
fact is, Gov. Wise. in a book since writ
ten, specially and bitterly complains OF
national Intervention on that occasion
and Mr.. Dibble, in his remarks at the
meeting, claimed fourteen electoral
votes for Louisiana. These little items
l allude to simply toshow that they are
poorly posted for leaders OF Il great
party, and they may find before they
get through with their present pro-
gramme that they are equally at fault
in stilbmore important calculations.

Anecdotes of Choate.

On IA very hot day Mr.. Choate was ar
guing a case at law term Oftne Su-
preme Court before the lull bench. He
evidently had the wrong side. Besides
other cases against him, decision of
the Supreme court Of Pennsylvania had
been cited, which was exactly in point
aud conclusive against his positions.
He was apparently in the full tide OF
successful argument, and was approach
ing its end, when Chief Justice said
"What do you say TO the Pennsylvania
case, Mr.. Choatep "Yuur Honors, |
have not forgotten that case. By no
means. l was coming to it directly. BY
turning to it you will notice that the de-
cision was given in the month OF July,
in tue hight of the hot season, in the eX-
tremely hot town of Harrisburg, in the
interior OF the State, lar away from the
ocean breeZes which here, at this mo.
ment, are beginning to tan the heated
brow Of justice.
1--WE all know that Homer sonnet times

whether it is not indisputab!e that the
Judges of the Supreme Court Of Penn

interior OF the State, in the extremely
hot month OF July, probably on one OF
the hottest days OF that month, and in
the afternoon, as the report fortunately

of pronouncing this abnormal decision,

merriment among the judges, and il was
Increased by the profound gravity OF
ChUate. The Chiei iJuctice (Shaw) shook

greatly excited, he appeared to be a! =

body quivering with emotion, his face

most violent; and he would shout, and
even scream, with all the force of his
lungs. He did not, I'm the very torrent,
