What is most PrOatable.

Inquiries are frequently made as
to which is the most profitable branch
Of farming, It depends on several
contingencies I'm some places corn
growing and pork raising, in others,
wool growing, and in others daiHying
are steadily profitable ono year with
another. Where circumstances, such
as rich corn land, healthfoI, dry pas
lures, or abundant grass, with pure
water, favor one or tie other ofthese
specialties,, it is best To fall into them
1andSto Keep them, But fos general
purposes special crops or employ
mente are rarely suitable, and mixed
farming is the best reliance. This
implies the culture Of roots, grass and
grain, chiefly for feeding TO the stock
and only partly for sale. The aim
must be to distribute the produce 60.
that a good portion comes back as
soil manure, and the soil is kept i'm.
proving constantly in fertility and
freedoln from weeds. Then imtieg
diate advantages can bo taken of any
exceptional condition OF, and if grain
does not pay, meat and wool may be
made, and If grain happens to be
high. it may be sold, and some other q
cheaper feed be bought to replace II, #.
a sharp farmer who has some capital,
aud can turn about at q short notice,
will never be caught in q poor year
without at least average proht from
his business.-American Agricultn-~

Democratic Address to the American
~4@s.t g. People. g..

WAsHINGToN, March 4.-The De-
mocratic caucus, at it's meeting last
night, adopted an address to the
American people, reviewing the
events which have resulted in the
declaration that Rutherford B. Hayes
has been elected President. The re,
port showss how the Republican
party, true 10 it's sectional nsture,
sought to unity the North against the
"sulid South" and at the same time
to make good it's probable losses in
the North by dividing The votes of
the South. This division it sought to
effect by an unconstitutional use of
the army. Notwithstanding this, the
result showed that 1876 Tilden Elec-
tors had been chosen by the whole
people, the popular majority itself
beipgpyer q quarter of million, and
of the white vote he received ma
jority of more than a million.
The report then G. es on to show
tile disgraceful conspiracy in which
the Republican managers then form
ed and carried out to reverse this
decisionI selecting Southern States
under Radical 9rnle,. and using as
ready. tools heir returning boards.
The report brands the names of the
Republican memberssof the Florida
and Louisiana boards, but gives par
tieular precedence of dishonor to the
names of 8! Madison Wells and Gov.
Kellogg. The history of the Radical
ballop box stuffihg and Intimidation
OF colored voters, in spite of which
the Democratic candidates were ell
ected, and OF the subsequent shame
less actiOno in7 throwing out votes
Wholesale, is given. The republic,
says the report, deserves to lose lis
liberties if it tolerates such abuses an
hour. The story, as told in the re-
port is q familiar one, but it deals
with sharp and deserved severity
upon the manner, id 8Ep 4ts 2particu-
lars, in which, the great fraud has
been contaminated. "''" ID =. 49,. .~vI =
Then itadeals with the electoral
commission, With the view of ia
cisita'iDg the count and providing
tor the peaceful performance of it's
dntydby Congress, the report goes on
to'say: The Bill was passed creating
the commission. By that law the
commission was to ascertain the true
andilawtul vote Of every State sub
mitted. In this labor it was to exer-
else, as to the hearing of evidence
and examination, of papers, such
powers as Congress, or either house
OF Congress possessed 2"@' '",.."-
In the belief that tho evidence
would be heard Congress aud The

Inside the Commission.

a Washington letter says: While
the Louisiana case was under, con-
sideration, Mr.. Justice Miller read
an opinion that it was perfectly COM
petent tor the four members OF, the
Louisiana Returning, Board 10 cam
Vass the vote, notwithstanding that
the law said the vacancy must be
filled. Representative Abbott said:
"Judge, let me read you an opinion
from Woolworth's report" and read
from a decision Of Justice Miller, cn
the circuit bench, in which he laid
down the doctrine that the acts of a
certain county board of canvassers
were void because they had neglect
Ell to till a vacancy. Justice Miller
was completely dun bfounded, and
did not attempt to undertake to MAXI
the least reply. ..'...-...... '@' .
In the Florida case Gen. Garfield
was displaying his partisanship and
want Of decency in an exceedingly
bitter speech of the bloody shirt order,
filled with allegations OF all sor's OF
crimes against the Southern people.
Justice Field tried to stop him two
or three times, and said as evidence
had been excluded it was hardly
competent to enter on such q hlineN0f
argument. Justice Clifford said Mr..
Garfield had the floor, and it was Ills
privilege to 90 on ia his own way
Justice Field only made ono set
speech during the entire sittings OF
the commission, which was on the
Florida case, when he took strong
ground against the ridiculous plea
that the two houses and the commits
sion werc to be no more than passive
witnesses of the flauds which had
been committed. T'-i - ..'r'lf
Justice Field, however, asked a
great many questions.. When Jus-
tice Miller was arguing that no pow
er existed to 60 behind the certifi-
Gates, he asked: 'Suppose the Con-
stitution said that none but white
men were eligible as Electors, and, a
negro was elected, must the certifi-
cate be given to himg" Justice
Miller replied that he would have no
right to look at his face. Justice Field,
'But suppose you did look at his
face, and saw that he was blackW-
Justice Miller said: II would be
compelled to give him the certificate
if be was elected, even If it was wo,
man. | would have no power to res
fuse, as the Constitution and laws do
not provide aremedy.' -.
Justice, Clifford took less part in
the discussions of the commission
than any other member, and did not
occupy twenty minutes altogether.-
Before the discussion in the Oregon
case had fairly begun, j ustice Cliff
ford said: 81 want it distinctly under
stood that l do not endorse the Cron~
in vote." Representative Abbott, in
an rimpassioned argument on the
Louisiana case in favor OF the Tilden
Electors, said: "My God! | cannot

A Trick OF Two bellies. Two
Fifth avenue New York bellies, as a
practical test of the generosity of their
friends, dressed themselves in old
clothes, and as the shades of night
were falling went ont upon theayyen-
ne and sYlicited aims of every gen
tlemah they met. A shake of the
head or muttered remark that they
were "busted" was all that was vouch
Esafed by the greater number of pass
ers-by. Their masquerading lasted
an hour. they met nearly all their
acquaintance, they gained only ten
cents, and, though fair to see even
in their poor attire, no Cophetua
asked these beggsr maids to share
his fortune. They then turned their
attention to the houses en- the avenue,
and their success furnished q striking
commentary on the modern proverb
that charity begins and ends at home.

The latest and most effective counN
terblast against tobaccotwas deliver
ed by a lady in a sixth avenue car on
Saturday. One of those noble speci
mems of manhood who chew the weed
and with impartial mind distribute
saliva upon everything and every
body within range, was sitting oppo
site the lady. From his capacious
mouth, at regular intervals, stream
of amber juice fell upon her dress.
Her look of blank amazement soon
gave place to one of wrath; a frown
blacker than midnight gathered upon
her face. Patience ceasing to be a
virtue, she at last rose, carefully
gathered up her dress 80 as to lose
not a drop of the fragrant liqnid, and ,
leaning towards her Wis avis, wiped
his face with the garment he had
desecrated, and then deliberately re-
sumed' her seat. The astonislied man
roared with rage and pain, vanly
tried 10 wipe the tobacco juice from
his smarting eyes, and at last rushed
from the car, followed by roars of
laughter from the passengers.-N. Y.

On Thursday, the 18th inst, We were
slightly "shuk up," to use the language
of Pete Jones. We was engaged in con-

in the upper floor Of the Court House,
when the building commenced oscillatins.
The vibration lasted for the period OF

rested against the wall tottered as if about
