AN ABSENT MINDED SENATOR. --
That curious parsonage, Senator Gold.
thwai,e. Of Alabama, will soon disappear
from public. His successor is elected.
Sen. Goldthwaite has for long time
been afflicted with absent mindedness.
He has great difficulty in keeping track
of his wearing apparal. He constantly
loses his hat or his coat. One or two
pages are kept running considerable
portion of the time to supply that gen.
tleman's lack of intelligence. If he
goes to the House. he will take his hat
and cloak there, and be sure TO leave
one or both Of them on = sofa or on
some members desk. He has often had
TO wait for hours while pages and mes
sengers were bunting up stray articles.
He also has the habit of taking other
peoples coats by mistake, and particu-
larly If they hang near his peg One
day Senator missed his coat, which
had about thirty five huidred dollars
in money in it The disappearance was
attended by such singular circumstances
that the detectives were quietly put
upon the trail. Four days afterwards
n couple Of detectives called at Sen.
Goidth waits house, and asked if he had
his own coat After searching his
closet for n time. he returned, bringing
the lest coat, saying This does not
look like my coat The lost money
was found safe in the pocket. This
story is told by all officer of the Sen
ate.

BEETs FOR Cows.-Every farmer
should raise roots for feeding to his
stock, and none are better than beets.
The sugar beet or the mangold wurt-
GELS may be selected for this purpose
The soil should be rich and deep and
heavily manured. 1t is not protitab. G
to try to raise root crops upon poor
soil aud scantily manured land. 1t is
considerable work 10 take care of the
crop. and the cultivation will be no
more for large yield than for light
one. Finely pulverized manure should
be applied at the rate of eighty OK
cart loads per acre to secure heavy
crop. Let 1t be thoroughly mixed with
the soil. aud the seed sown early.
Early sowing guards against the dry
ing of the surface, aud gives longer
period for growth. One thousand
bushels per acre is the yield which high
cultivation ought TO secure. For feed
ing to cows giving milk. no food i.
superior to beets Let every farmer
raise a few. even it it is not more than
= square rod.

H. B. JONES, Secretary.



The following choice extracts from the
editorial columns of a single issue of the
Baltimore GGsette, the Democratic organ at
Washington, speak for themselves:
We trust that no Democrat will consent
to serve on the 'commissiOn" which Mr..
Hayes intends to send to Louisiana. The
purpose of putting two Democratic on it is
to give it an appearance of fairness, while
the result is already preordained. Accord
ing to the Democratic theory there is moth
ing to compromise. rhe pre- senee OF the
United States troops in the State House
OF Louisiana is an outrage on the con-
stitution. There is only one thing to do.
Order them away.
MIR. Hayes seems much more anxious that
the cOlored brother should have his rights
than that the white man should come by
his own, and while he is very decided in de-
elaring that the fifteenth amendment to the
constitution must be sustained he appears
to have grave doubts about the prop iety OF
standing by the constitution itself.
Packard is a usurper of the worst type,
but nobody has yet accused hum of being a
coward. Mr., Hayes was turned ont By the
same ballot factory, and differs only Ia that
he appears to be the weaker vesstL
Even the gigantic brain of Assistant Pres
ideht Wheeler appears to have been I'M
equal to the task of discovering q satisfac
tory way of evadiDg the law, and the Presi
dent has decided to call an extra session Of
Congress-
The commission will enter upon its worA
loaded with all the Odium of the electoral
commission. Tho people wanted to turE
their backs upon that, and to look ahead tC
betihr things Mr.. Hayes thrusts the naust
GUS thing ihtJ their thoughts again.

The German RspublIcana.

At called meeting of the German Re-
publican Club of Che Eleventh Ward Thurs
day night, 1871 members present, the follow
ing resolutions we're offered by Mr. Back
ers and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we congratulate the Re
publican party in getting rid of those cor
rupt and recreant members who have sold
themselves for less than half what they
would have brought on the auction block
twenty years ago, and who have been re-
ctived with glad hands and open arms by
the infallible Democracy who can do no
wrong. They are needful to make mp q
quorum TO help pass vagrant laws By. which
colored Republicans are to be brought into
a second slavery. Such men have been the
cause of all the scandal and disgrace that
has been brought upon our party In the
years past.
Resolred, That we will give our support
only to the legal government Of which Gov
eFnOr S b. Pdckard il the head; that we
utterly repudiate the pretender Nichols;
| that the only claim he holds to the title Of
| Governor has been obtained by fraud, as
sasaination and murder; that we earnestly
reaueat his excellency, the President Of the
| United States. to reeognize the government
that was legally elected BY the party that
/ made him President OF the Uaited States.

The Millennium.

EDITOR REPUBLIcAN:
Your correspondent must relieve himself
in giving vent to his joyful emotions in
view of the bright future that aYaits us
colcred people, if our Democratic friends
are oRly permitted to arrange everything
to suit themselves.
Nichols officers place us kinkly in
prison, and his judges decree that we
should not have the benefit of bail. This,
however, is only q paternal correction.
We have bean growing wild since recon
struction, and we need training. His jour
mails take the ground that 1t is time We were
prohibited from riding in the street cars
with bundles. But this mast not be mie-
understood. Il shows only proper regard
for the laws of health. We require exer-
else, and his Legislature, even without q
quorum, in their wisdom, are deyising
measures whereby those of us who fail to
obtain employment can be sent to the Par
ish Prison, there to obtain food and en-
plOyment.
What delectable existence will be oure,
should our best friends be permitted to
perfect their programme. 1t is unkind in
Governor Packard and The Republican
party TO throw any obstacle in their way.
Lat rs have the millennium.
