Attempt at Bribery by Gov

BANDS Silver Bill to be
Voted on To-day.
The Debate on the Joint
Rules.
Democrats Sure of at Least
Zen Majority in the
Next Congress.
WAsHINaToN, Dec. l3, 2 A. NJ.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l3, 2A.M
Special TO the Register.
Last winter, when MIR. Randall prom.
ised to reduce the appropriations, the
Republicans raised a howl that the pub
lie service would be crippled, and when
he did cut oil thirty millions, the same
authorities walled out that the govern
ment machinery was ruined beyond re-
pair. In spite of the reduction,
the machinery has continued TO
run, and the administration has
been able to spare plenty OF money
for election purposes. The Committee
on Appropriations Is going carefully
over the estimates and is OF opinion that
ten millions more can be saved this year.
This makes Radical office-holders and
expectants unhappy.
1t has traRspired that Chamberlain,
like his master, Grant, don't care
d-n for the Supreme Court OF. South
Carolina He placed the funds in the
hands of Patterson SON TO brlbe every
member OF the court 20 concur in sus-
tanning the canvsscrs, and TO discharge
them for contempt. The sum OF two
thousand seven hundred dollars WAS to
be given TO each member. The agent
WAS not successful and still holds the
money, much TO ChsmberIain's chsgrin.
Corbin, who was to-day elected Senator
by the Chamberlain gang, pays $500 for
every vote.
Bland's silver bill will be voted on to-
morrow. Kelley's substitute will be the
death of it. Ii is less cumbersome and
far simpler than BANDS, and is in gene
raj favor with both parties. kelley's
simply remonetizes silver and prac-
tically kills the resumption act.
The sudden springing of the debate on
Joint rules in the House to-day, and the
eagerness with which the members went
INTO it. show that both parties are
priurd Tor the great battle that must
take place on that ground. 1t also
shows that the Republican members
will maintain To the last that
there are no Joint rules, without
mpediment. The JOINT rule prece.
dent becomes easy as leaving no danger
ol Democratic members going over to the
enemy rs the Senators did. l have 1t
on reliable authority that they will stick.
A careful canvass shows that the
Democrats will have NJ least ten major

that all the Returning Boards stand,
and that New Hampshire, which votes

Sheep in the South.

L. A. Hansen. Bay St. Louis, Miss. in Country
Gentleman.
What a strange compound is human
nature The eye of our soul sweeps
the horizon for what we, in most cases,
can fad within our reach. How often
do we accidentally stumble ever that
which we have been hunting far off
It is human nature, and our farmers are
not an exception. How they study and
look aroud into far off countries to find
something that will pay How many
have been disappointed and ruined by
following their Imagination into an other
country IN hopes of finding prosperity.
And how many have drawn their cap
itai out of the farm, invested it in spec
ulations, expecting to become rich, and
have lost all What they sought far
of, and for what they often risked and
sacrificed their last dollar, lay right be-
fore them, within easy reach and with
ont risk l alluds to sheep husbandry
in the South. 1t is truly most surpris-
ing that an enterprise like this is SO to-
tally In its infancy, and has been so att
tie Investigated.
From latitude 390 north, to Cape Flor
ida, the country abounds in the very
best pastures for sheep. From 390 to
to $50 very little feed is required through
the winter, and from $50 TO Cape Florida
40 feed is needed. and usually little shell
ter. 1t is not my intention to say that
some feed, even In this latitude, would
not pay we'll; l only wish to state that
sheep husbandry can be carried on there
with profit without any feeding at all.
Lands, all over this country, such as are
required for sheep husbandry, are cheap.
A man who owns only twenty acres, or
even less, can keep q feek of thousands
of sheep, because everywhere thousands
of acres are lying idle in the natural
state waiting to be made useful in some
manner It Is business in which the
poor man with 500 can engage as we'll
as the rich who can invest thousands. Il
/ is q business in which, with proper man
agement and care, the invested capital
doubles itself in one year. Dogs are
only q bug-bear where proper precau-
tions are taken and the necessary atten-
ton is given; there is no serious draw
| back whatever to this industry in this
country. True, it has been tried ocea-
sionally, but IN most cases it has failed
| for the very simple reason that be who
undertook il did not understand his
business, and did not take the trouble to
learn it, believing that all be had to do
was to buy the sheep and turn them
| lose, to roam at will Now, it il with
sheep farming as with any other bust
! ness, it cannot thrive without proper at
tention and care, and whoever under
takes it, on large scale, must peTJectls
| understand the business If he wants t
see his investment and labor crowned
/ with success.

The Grapery.

Grapes which are hanging ripe should
be looked over occasionally for the puT-
pose of removing any decayed berries,
which, if left, are sure to destroy all
others surrounding them. If any bers
ries appear to shrink, cut them ont, as
they generally do not mature, and they
look bad in the bunch When the frui5
is thoroughly ripe, they will keep much
longer by shading them without employ
ing any other means. When this is in
sufficient, a little whitewash will be
necessary. Keep top and bottom ventil-
alton open day and night just now,
unless a cold rain should set in during the
night, when the front should be shut, to
prevent any attacks of mildew by cold
drafts. Cold graperies should be kept
sufficiently moist to prevent red spider,
and insure healthy vines. M, Milton in
Country Gentleman.

Orth's Retirement.

We ara told that by the withdrawal
of the Hon. Godlove s. Orth from the
contest for the Indiana Executive Chair.
the Republicans of the State are full of
trouble. We are not surprised to find
that this is the case, nor does it astonish
US that the perplexity is not confined to
the country. It is perhaps as hard a
blow as they can have to sustain, during
the c1 ntinuance of the existing hostili-
ties. To Mr.. Orth personally, We cannot
refrain from rendering our sincerest
sympathies. The blow to him is so Sc
we're that we should not be amazed if
from its effects he were forever removed
from the sphere of his political action.
If not actually deprived of life, he has
been 80 severely wounded that it seems
next to impossible that he can recover
sufficiently to be again able to resume
active work, He forgot the necessary
injunction th at he who would run race
must free himself from every burden
HIS conduct in the matter of our claims
against the Government of Venezuela
has been his ruin. With them, and the
sins of the party composing his sup
porters, he was overWeighted. Tbs
result is that this contestant, upon whom
80 many hopes relied so confidently that
ne was brought all the way from Austria
to take his part in the race, has boon,
thus early, compelled to withdraw. An
other of Grant foreign ministers made
ready for his grave. Sic cunt .fata boBs-

THE FARM.
Buokwh eat IN Orchards.

The practice of enriching or restoring
the fertility of the soil in orchards by
turning under clover has been found to
have one serious drawback if the trees
are yet young. The clover must grow
ct least one year in order to become
strong enough TO give q good coat of
manure, and this year OF clover serious
ly checks the young trees. The practice
has recently boen adopted by some good
orehardists of blowing in buckwheat. The
seed is cheap, and the seeding is very
easily done; the soil is made loose and
mellow, and there need be no check to
the trees-espeeially if the buckwheat is
sown about midAumme r, after the trees
have nearly ceased growing, the crop to
be turned under before much grain has
begun to form. A correspondent of the
New York Times, in recommending the
crop, says that if the buckWheat is sown
earlier, q second crop may be had from
| the scattered seed of the first, and that it
helps to destroy the codling moth, as
many will hide in the buckwheat, the
second crop of which is burned late in
autumn.
