RESPON SiBiLiTY FOR THE

The eight members of tho Commis.
sion, who not only violated the Con.
stitution, but violated their own oaths,
in order to consummato tho conspir-
cy of fraud, have u deeper and a black
er responsibility of their own, as the
authors Of crime have n deeper guilt
than the mere accessories.
The Republican party Is responsible
because it takes the fruits of the enor-
nous wrong by common consent, none
Of It's members-wlth only two bril-
liant exceptions in the House Of Rep
resentatiyc, Seelye and Pcarcc, ol

Rutherford B. Hayes is responsible
because be receives, keeps, and uses
the great dignity and power conferred
upon him through this network of Re.
publican fraud relieved only by Dem
cratic folly.
The facts cannot be forgiven, con
donod, or cxtcnuated. They are lik,
tho sin against tho Holy Ghost in re
ligion, which no repentance can ex
plate. Above all, no good behavior OF
the part OF a President thus irauda
lently placed in Office can wash out th,
stains, the shame, and the guilt of hi
elevation.
There is no safety for the Republic
except in the remembrance of thos,

Snnfnwar Seed for Fowls.

We have, for years, been aware OF
the value of sunfloWer seed in the Fall
of the year, and in Winter time, too,as
food for fowls. This plant should
be grown by every poultry grower in
the country who has the opportunity
to raise only a few stalks, even. For
it's properties for CLOSING the plumage
Of exhition birds are altogether renlar-
kable. Buckwheat, properly fed, will
operate similarly; but the latter is, by
far, to heating in it's nature, in COM
parison with the other.
This plant is very gross grower,
but it yields Wondr0usly, and may be
set in any soil where other fruits or
vegetables cannot be conveniently
raised for example, along the sides Of
fences, or anywhere where the soil is
not so easily cultivated as in the open
fields. IL given a good chance as
other grains have it will grow lux
|uriantly, and will repay its care, for
it's yield is many hundred fold under
Ordinary cultivation.
The great Russian sunfoWer is a
new thing with us in this country, and
a marvellous Improvement upon the
old style seed. The flowers are dou-
BILE the average dimensions Of the
common South American variety so
we'll known among us, and, as bear
er, it far excels the latter in the num-
Der of large seeds it ripens upon it's

To Tell Ripe WatermelOns.

All housekeepers who go to market
know how hard it is to tell ripe water
melons: and how often they are de-
ceived in this matter. Although it is
past the season for caring about the
information now, watermelon time
will come again some day, and the
hint can be laid away for safe keeping
until then; 50 we copy this certain
rule from the Country Gentleman for
determining when & melon is actually
Iripe.
When the melon begins to change
color inside, and it's seeds to turn
black, a small black speck, scale or
blister, begins TO appear on the outer
Icuticlo or rind. These are multiplied
and enlarged as the fruit natures A
ripe melon will show them thicl1Iy
sown over the surface. A partial
development only indicates half-ripen-
ed fruit. A full crop Of bli8ters re-
veals it's perfect rip9neSs. When hum
dreds Of melons are streWn along the
sidewalk, you will have to look pretty
sharply to find one that exhibits sat
isfact0ry 'escutche0n," to borrow q
term M. Guenon. But it is unfailing
when found, and by following this
guide you may walk away with your
melon with the most entire confidence.
The blister is only to be seen upon q
close inspection, but is plainly visible
when that is given. II you raise
watermelons in your own garden, the
same rule will apply Try it, and see
If this information is worth anything.
