Carlyle's Letter.

The text Of Thomas Carlyle's letter to the Lon.
don Times on the Eastern war is as follows:
Sir: A rumor everywhere prevails that our
miraculous Premier, in spite of his Queens proc
lamahon OF neutrality, intends, under cover OF
care for British interests, to send the English
feet to the Baltic, or do some ether feat which
shall compel Russia to declare war against Eng
land. Latterly the rumor has shifted from the
Baltic, aud become still more sinister on the
eastern side of the scene, where feat is
contemplated that will force, not only
Russia only, but all Europe to declare war against
us. This latter have come to know Is an ihdis-
putahie fact-in our present affairs and outlook
surely grave one. As 10 British interests, there

The Concord Monitor don't like the pol.
Icy of President Hayes. but the democrats
do not get any encouragement from its
columns, as the following extract from
them plainly shows:
For those who distrust the Presidents Southern
policy-and their name is legion as the letters we
are daily receiving amply attests-there is but one
course to pursue, viz: watch and wait.
If the policy succeeds. distrust must give way to
confidence for no republican can afford to quar-
rel with the means If the end which we all have
in view 10 attained. In other words, success must
disarn opposition. If, however, as we believe,
the only success attending it will inure to reac-
tionists and to upholders Of a white oligarchy in
the South, we may hope that the administration
viii revise its policy and take q new depar ture.
In any event, out Of the two evils we must need
choose the least, and if We cannot have whole
loaf we must be content with half We must
deal with things Is they are, and not repine or
whine over what ought TO have been done. The
past is irrevocable. But better . half or even
quarter, nay IN eighth, of republican policy, than
. democratic one. Better Sam Bowles than Brick
Pomeroy. Better an old time whig fossil than a
modern Bourbon democrat.

From the careful inquiries made by Gov. Stone
it appears that the brothers, sons, and nephews OF
the murdered Gully were the nnglearders of the
mob. In my conversation with the county Off
GERS and Others Of the principal citizens of the
place, have been shocked to find them more
DESTROYS of eNcusing or palliatlng the horrible
crimes of the mob than to exhibit sympathy for the
victims. From not a single man have heard ex-
pressed an intention to aid IN bringing the muir
derers TO justice. A portion OF the community
entirely sympathizes with the perpetrators OF the
bloody outrage, aud those who do not are to much
teirorized TO try TO enforce the law.
such is the story of the kemper tragedy in the
briefest form in which the facts can be clearly
stated. | wish could say that politics has moth

The War Movement.

The Turkish territory now occupied by
the Russian armies In Asia Minor is bound
ed by the line of the Tchuruckson river TO
Artvin, thence to the Souganlu range OF
mountains covering Erzeroum on the east
ward. and thence, via Toprak kaleh, to
Bajazid on the southeast. Within this
area four Russian columns are operating.
with their intermediate supports of irreg-
ular cavalry. The column of Batoum has
met with check at that point in its prog
ress along the coast toward Trebisond (;
but leaving q force to observe Batoum. a
portion of the coast army has been de-
tached along the Tchuruckson valley to
cooperate with the Kars column and to
clear the country In front of that one OBJ
serving Ardaham. The kars column has
pushed its cavalry forward and around
Kars and has cut the telegraphic and
probably the road communications be-
tween that city and Erzeroum. and men,
aces the Turks in position on the Sougan-
Ia mountains. The Bajazid column has
driven the Turkish forces in the vicinity
southwestward toward Van and the Eu-
pirates valley, and is moving westward
via Toprak Kaleh to turn the position at
Souganlu. where the main body of the
Turkish army is preparing to defend the
road to Erzeroum. Thus it will be seen
that the Russian advance, although ex-
tending along considerable line, is gov
erned by very comprehensive plan, the
object Of which is the capture of Erzer-
cum. Unfortunately for the Turks, Erzer-
oum has no permanent defences of any
importance, and the hastily erected works
now thrown up and indifferenily armed
will scarcely check the Russians, when
concentrated, for more than day or two.
Souganlu is therefore the key to Erzeroum
and there the decisive struggle mast take
place. II, however. the Bajazid column
can force the passes near Toprak Kaleh.
this key will be turned and the Turks will
find themselves between two fires. The
situation on the Danube is scarcely
changed from what it was a week ago.
The Russians are gradually occupying the
bend Of the river at Galaiz. and extend

A correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune sends that paper an account of the
bloody tragedy which recently took place
in Kemper county, Mississippi. a portion
Of which may be found in our columns.
The writer Of the article reluctantly ad-
mits that the butchery was for political
causes. The shooting Of Judge Chisolm,
whose son was killed in defending his
father, and whose wife and daughter
sought to shield him from the bullets o
the assassins, was cold blooded, diabol-
ical act. such as could only seem possible
among savages. Mississippi has long
since passed under the control Of the dem.
ocrats.

Aifaifa for Hay.
lssa Francisco Balletin. l

~""--~~--%N
 Formerly there WAS very strong prejud- nee against alfalfa for hay, especially for horses. It was considered good enough for cattle, but too coarse for horses The principal reason for this prejudice was found in the fact that we did not know in the first place how to SOW alfalfa, and in the next place when to cut it and how to use it Years of experience have taught us what there is in both these point, an l now alfalfa is the best hay produced in California. if not the best produced in any other country. Alfalfa wants to be sown thick. at least 9 pounds to the acre. Ifsown this thick. and a good stand is obtained. the clover grows fine, the stem being tender and juicy, instead of coarse and woody. But even then it must be cut early. or before the seed begins to form The best time to cut alfal- fa for hay is before the blossom is in full development This is not all If cut thus early, and then not properly cured, the hay is greatly injured, if not ruined It must not be dried in the sun, but as soon as wilted should be raked into the winrow and put into small ricks or heaps. to be dried princi- l pally by the air and without direct expos ure to the air. Those who are going to SOW alfalfa this spring will bearin mind that one acre thick on the ground will be worth more | than two acres standing sparsely on the | ground. fyou have but small amount of seed, better SOW that on part of your Al Al balance. When once seeded it Is almost l to thicken the stand by sowing new seed with old clover, from the fact that al any time the new seed would grow, that already on the groundso shades it that it will not germinate. The sowing must be done well at first Sow thick, and then cut and cure as suggested, and you will have the best of hay for cattle or horses, Oraay hay eating animals.

In short, Homan's Ague and Liver Pad is the

great feature OF the treatment, and the one which
renders it precious beyond estimation, has already
been spoken of, but cannot be too much enlarged

The habit of pouring medicines into the Stomach,
in the hope OF curing diseases that depend upon the
Liver, is not only absurd but wicked.

telligent living witnesses. who will tell you that
Holman's Pad is the cheapest. most effective, the
pleasantest, most convenient, surest and most
satisfactory curative and preventive and thorough

We do not think it extravagant to say that the
Liver Pad marks the beginning of new era in
medicine This happy combination of absor DENTS,
acting specifically upon the Liver and Stomach,
removes from the system the poisonous principle
which paralyzes its action, and restores normal
condition of health in manner that is absolutely
wonderful Time was when such a proposition
could only have been accounted for upon the the ory
