The following telegraphic correspond
ence took place between the committee
appointed to notify Senator Ferry of his
denomination by the Republican caucus
and the Senator, and fully explains itself
To Hon. T. w. Ferry, Washington:
We take pleasure in notifying you that
at the Republican caucus held this eve
ming, at which ninety-siX Senators and
Representatives were present, you were
renominated by acclamation by rising
vote.
(Signed) III. III. HOYT, Chairman.
E. z. FERRY
JAS. III. STONE, Sec'y.
To which Senator Ferry replied rs fol-
lows:
b. Fl. Hoyt, Chairman, James IT. Stone, E. p.
Ferry, Committee, Lansing, Mich:
Convey my grateful acknowledgements
to the members of the Republican caucus
for their magnanimOus Endorsement in a
denomination to the the United States
Senate by acclamation. Should this be
ratified by the joint convention, it shall
advance the national interests, and to re-
tain the confidence Of my fellow citizens.
Holding personal political fortune
secondary to fidelity TO national safety, a
surrender of the pleasure of thank
ing the caucus in person finds compen-
sation i'm the reflection that the members
have acted freely. without the possible
bias of my presence. As recall the
contest and misgivings of my first nomi-
nation, the unanimity of this second
gives me undisguised satisfaction. The
hope l then uttered has, through expe-
rience, now ripened into the assurance
that second term shall likewise furnish
no occasion for regret that the citizens of
Michigan chose to renew the exalted
trust they confided to their obliged pub
lie servant. r.. w. FERRY.

We think that if farmers would prac-
tice "mixed husbandry" more than
they do, they would make more money
than they do. A great many farmers
only keep as much stock as they can
get along with-one cr two COWS, a
team of horses, and perhaps a yoke
Of oxen and few hogs. Now. such farm
ers never get along we'll; they do not
make enough manure to keep up the
fertility OF their farms, and they are
continually moving about from place to
place, "running" one farm little while
and then leaving 1t to practice the
same in other places. We think that II
farmers would keep more stock-cattie,
sheep, swine, chickens, turkeys, geese
and ducks-theY would find it much
more profitable. Aye! we will make it
stronger than that, and will say that
we know it. 1t is an acknowledged
fact that butter>makipg and poultry>
raising have paid better than cereal
crops for the past few years. And If so
in the past, why not in the future? We
think there is no danger that the bust
ness will be overdone, at least IN good
many years. And we think that not
only butter making and poultry raising
can be made profitable in number OF
instances, but market gardening and
fruit raising could be Carried on and
pay a good profit to the producer. A
great many market gardens, of one or
two acres in the vicinity of New York
City, pay an annual profit equal to, or
greater than that which is yielded from
one hundred acres of farming lands,
farmed as it is generally done. Now
this is not as it should be, for we think
that every farmer ought to make his
labors as profitable as possible. And
yet it seems right for the market gard
eners to apply large amount of fertll-
izers and work their land with care,
keeping down the weeds and having
some crops on the ground, all, or nearly
all of the time, while the average far
mer seldom or never purchases any fer
tilizers and do not care of what barn :
yard manure they make, and we do not
know but it is right the market garden
ers should make the most money. But
the farmer must advance as we'll as the
rest of the world, and if he does not
''farm it, better and use more fertiliz>
ers, carefully saving what is made on
farm, and raise more and better stock,
as well as to raise garden vegetables.
where practicable, he must quit the
business.

Chicken Cholera.

Editor Br0OkhdUcH Lc69er!--
This disease has been very deStruc-
tive for the past two years. On some
places chickens, turkeys and geese have
al died of it. My chickens corsmenced
dying with this disease about the first
Of May. In one month we had lost
over three hundred. My wife had tried
all the remedies she was in possession
of. I then dissected several hens and
found them in perfect health except the
liver, which was very much enlarged,
three times rs large as the liver of chick
ems in health. Two of the hens had
died very suddenly, and their livers Ind
ruptured and their chests filed with
blood. They had evidently died of
hemorrhage of the liver. | am fully
satisfied that chicken cholera is nothing
more than disease of the liver. and
should be treated as such. After find
ing it was enlargement Of the liver, I
Immediately procured the root OF the
fringe tree, better known as gray beard
or white ash, we'll known for its altere
tive properties. made strong decoc-
tion of it, made q dough of corn meal
with it, and fed the chickens on it two
weeks. They are now healthy. The
deaths were less in three days and no
new cases. A great many recovered that
were sick when we commenced the REM
edy. If it is not convenient to get tho
fringe tree, any other vegetable remedy
known to act on the liver might be tried.
The treatment should be continued for
at least ten days. w. G. FORD.

UNCLE sETH'S COOKING MATCH

Uncle Seth was-was Uncle Seth! He
was character by himself. There was
never anybody like him, and he was not
like anybody. =
He was an old bachelor, but he look
care of so many widows and fatherless
children that he seemed more fatherly
aud husbandly than my papa, who had
only mamma, Bob and me.
He was very rich, but he lived in
such plain house, and wore such SIM
ple clothes, all out of fashion, that no
body would ever have known how his
gold was piled up in the bank.
Uncle Seth was always thinking; but
he never told his plans until he sur
prised us all by something splendid
none of us had ever dreamed OF. he
never wanted any thanks; only he liked
to sit and look at US, and rub his hands
as he saw how we enjoyed 1t.
"They said' Uncle Seth was d'sap-
pointed when he was young. That he
loved pretty, gay young girl, but be
fore he asked her to marry him, he
thought he would go to sea second
time and "make his crown q posnd. !"

of life-what bother that is, anyway

That Ebrew Jew.
BY BRET HARTE.

BY BRET HARTE.
There once was tradesman renowned as a
screw,
Who sold pins and needles and calicoes
too,
Till he built up fortunc-the which as it
grew
Just ruined small traders the whole city
through
Yet one thing he knew,
Between me aud you,
There was distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
Till lie died in his mansion-a great mil
lionaire-
The owner of thousands-but nothing to
spare
For the needy and poor, who from hunger
might drop,
And only pttance to clerks in his shop.
But left it all to
A lawyer who knew
4 subtle distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
This man was no trader, but simply 4
friend
OF the Gent who kept shop, and who,
nearing his end,
Handed over million-'twaS only his due,
Who discovered this contrast 'twixt EbrGw
and Jew.
For he said, "If you view
This case as do,
There is distinction
'rwixt Ebrew and jew.
"For the Jew is man who will make
money through
His skill, his fncsse, and his capital, too.
And an Ebrew's a man that we Gentiles
can do
So you see there's contrast 'twiXt Ebvew
and Jew
Ebrew and Jew,
Jew and Ebrew,
There's subtle distinction
'Twixt Ibrew and Jew"
So he kept up his business of needles and
pins,
But always one day he atoned for his sins,
But never the same day for that wouldn't
That the Jew faced his God with the awful
Ebrew.
For this man he knew,
Between me and you,
There was a distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
So he sold soda-water, and shut up the
fount
OF druggist whose creed was the Speech
on the Mount.
And he rafiicked in CATERS, and ruined the
trade
OF a German whose creed was by great
Luther m ade,
But always he knew,
Between me and you,
A subtitle distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
Then he kept hotel-here his trouble be-
In a fashion unknown to his primitive plan;
For the rule of his house to his manager
ran,
"Don't give entertainment to lsraeiite
man"
Yet the manager knew,
Between me and you,
No other distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
''You may give to John Morrissey supper
and wine,
And Madame n. to your care I'll resign;
You'll see that those jenkins from Mis-
souri, Flat
Are properly cared for; but recollect that
Never Jew
Who's not an Ebrew
Shall take up his lodgings
Here at the Grand L.
You'll allow Miss McFlimsey her dia-
monds to wear;
You'll permit the Van Dams al the waters
to swear;
You'll allow Miss Decollete to firt on the
stair;
But as to an Israelite-pray have care,
For, between me and you,
Though the doctrine is new,
There's business distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and jew"
Now now shall we know? Prophet, tell us,
pray do,
Where the line of the Hebrew fades into
the Jew?
Shall we keep out Disraeli and take Roth
schild in?
Or snub Meyerbeer and think Verdi a sin!
What shall we do?
Oh, give us few
Points to distinguish
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew.
There was One-Heayen help us!-whc
died in mans place,
With thorns on His forehead, but love in
His face,
And when "foxes had holes and the bird.
OF the air
Had their nests in the trees there was nc
spot to spare
For this "King of the Jews"
Did the Romans refuse
This right to the Ebrews
Or only to Jews?

The watermelon stands, perhaps, only
second in public estimation to the Gu
cumber for its bad objects As All article
Of food. Like all other traditional
opinions, there are some grains Of truth
in the belief. Melons picked before they
are ripe and transported by rail hun
dreds Of miles, and then allowed to lie
in the store or on the sidewalk until
they are ssmellow,' are undoubtedly
among the most vicious Of fruits that
can be taken into the stomach. Allow
ed TO ripen on the vines, picked early in
the morning, and kept cool until eaten,
there is no fruit Of its season more
gratifying To the taste or more healthful
to the system Like the tomato, they
are mild aperient; but may be eaten
literally every day, not only with no i'll
results, but with decided benefit. 1t is
said VI the Egyptians that during the
season Of ripening the watermelon Is a
regular article Of diet for the poorer
classes. In all the Oriental countries,
and especially in Persia, they are cul-
tivatef with the most assiduous
care and freely eaten by all
classes. The only reason why they are
in SO ill-repute here, where the soil and
climate are entirely natural 10 them, can
be- from no other cause than the one
mentioned that Of being stale before
they are eaten.
In this respect the farmer need have no
fear. They have them fresh and in per-
fection-and may eat them morning, noon,
and night, not only with impunlty, but
with decided benefit 10 the health. But.
like any ether ripe fruit or vegetable, they
should he eaten judiciously. That's. the
stomach should not be glutted. II eaten

ate quantities. we consider them the peer
