Duluth Tribune:
JIM BARDoN A PRoTEGE OF THE
DEvIL.-The Bayfield, Press, OF
July 25th. in speaking Of some OF
Brother Bardon's comments on the
Devil question, says:
That's right Jim, whenever Bro.
Mitchell or any other man assails
your friend and guardian, remem-
Der that there is nothing more beau
tiful than the bonds binding two
friends together, and nothing more
noble than friend upholding friend
for friendships sake.
If that Press man don't look out
we will make the Devil foreclose
instantly and without redemption
that heavy, long overdue mortgage
he now holds on him. AS the Old
Boy is very accommodating, and
will do anything for a friend. all we
will have to do will be to tip him
a wink, and the initial of one editor
post office address will change from
B to II mighty quick!

An Important Historical Fact.

After the argument upon the Florida
case before the Electoral Commission
in Washington, Judge bradley wrote
out his opinion and his decision in full
Ho completed it about G o'clock in the
evening on the day before the judgment
Iof the Commission was to be announced,
and read it to Judge Clifford and Judge
Fold, who were members of tho Com.
mission. It contained first, an argu-
mcnt, and secondly. conclusion. The
argument was precisely the same as
that which appears in the published
document; but Judge Bradley's con-
clusion was that the votes of tht
rirugn grectors in Fiorida were the on
ly votes which ought to be counted as
coming from that State.
This was the character Of the paper
when Judge Bradley finished it, and
whom communicated to his colleagues.
During the whole of that night Judge
Bradley's house in Washington was sur
rounded by the carriages of visitors
who came to sec him apparently about
the decision of the Electoral Commits.
sion, which, AS we have said. was to be
announced the next day. These visi-
tors including leading Republicans as
we'll as persons deeply Interested in the
Texas Pacific Railroad scheme.
Whom the Commission assembled the
next morning, and when the Judgment
was declared, Judge Bradley gave his
voice in favor of counting the votes OF
the Hayes electors in Florida. The ar
gument he did not deliver at the time;
but when 1t oame to be printed subse>
quently it was found to be precisely the
same as tho argument which he had
originally drawn up, aud on which he
had based his Grst conclusion in favor
OF the Tildon electors.

High Farming.

An American farmer OF note, afier
visiting England and examining with
the critical oye of q practical and ex-
perionoed agrieulturist the system pur-
sled there, says ..e
"I am thoroughly confirmed in my old
faith that the only good farmer, of our
future is to bo tho 'high farmer
There is q widely prevailing antipathy
among the common farmers Of our
country against not only the practice OF
high farming, but against the use OF the
phrase by agricultural writer's. This is
all wrong and should OF once be correct
cd. Through some misconception OF
the meaning of the phrase, and also OF
It's application, they have come to be-
lievc it Synonymous with theoretical
book farming, new tangled notions,
boastcd progress, followed by disap
po;astr.ons and final faffIire. This Is all
an error. High farming simply means
thorough cultivation, liberal mannring,
bountiful crops, good stock, good feed
and paying profits therefrom. 1t is not
strange that misconceptions have arisen
in the minds of doubling farmers who
have been eye witnesses to some of the
spread eagle experiments of enthusiast
io farmers, better supplied with money
obtained in business thoy know how
to manage. than with practical expert
ence on the farm. Bountiful crops and
paying profits OF course, are all farmers
who are depending upon the farm for an
income are striving to obtain; and every
year as it passeth, is re- confirming the
opinion that the profits are small, and
will grow beautifully less,' where high
farming is not practiced." a..

An Honorable Calling /.

When people condemn farm life be-
cause OF its "drudgory," I wonder il
thoy ever count up the advantages of
living on farm. The fruit, the vege-
tables, the fresh eggs, poultry, milk
snd butter, to say nothing OF the many
rides the family enioy,-how many Of
these could be indulged in if tho fani-
ly lived in town, and the same capital
was invested there, that it takes to car
ry on the farm? When about to move
to my farm, an old lady gave me this
rather doubtful congratilation, "AuG
so you are going to be tied down to 9
farm q eyes," said l, "and to answer
you in woIds have heard my mother
say many times-I would rather be the
wife of. au intelligent farmer than tie
wife of o man following any other oc
cnpation you can MENTION" Since The

Keeping up the Soil

Tho agricultural mind is gradually
undergoing change upon the subject.
1t was once believed that cultiyating
the soil and raising crops therefrom,
must necessarily exhaust it, and in ac-
curate account with tho farm it was boz
lievcd proper allowance should be made
for the wearing out of work animals and
machinery. But the conviction has
gradually been gaining ground that the
system of hnsbdndry which raises the
largest crops rather improves than ex-
hausts tho soil that man may go on
for series of years making money from
a farm, and Mt the same time increasing
it's productive capacity and value.
We were led into this tram of thought
by looking over the farm, recently, of
Mr.. Edmond Reynolds. in Ontario
county. We knew this place forty years
ago, and for The following twenty, wero
quito familiar with tho crops it pro-
dueed, and wo saw bettor wheat, better
oats, and bctter grass growing on tho
samo land, the other day, than it pro-
ducod from twenty five to forty years
ago. And this is not an exceptional
year in this respect, but the crops have
been gradually improving during the
last ten and twenty years. srv
The improvement has been Brought
about by judicious rotation OF crops.
by plowing under clover, by keeping
more stock, by deeper and moro thor
ough pulverization of the soil, and. to
sone extent, by drainage. During this
time the improvements have been paid
for in the increased productions of the
coil. We are inclined to believe that
naturally good soil is inoxhaustible un-
der wise tillage; that bountiful and
economical Providence 30 locked up the
clements of plant-food in the soil that
mans improvidence cannot exhaust
them entirly. Tho food of plants in the
soils is so chemically combined with
the other minerals of which it is CON-
posed that it requires time, the gradu-
al action of the forces OF nature and OF
art, and the growth of plants, to dis
solve and remove it, and thus God has
80 ontailed the earth that man is unable
to spend his rich inheritance, but is
forced to hand it down from generation
to gcleration.-Rural Home.

A Southern Lament,

My principles now lead me to abhor

sometimes, in the heat, and toll OF ex-
istencc. the thought inyoluntarily steals
over me that we havo seen better days.
I think OF the wild ride after the fox
ana the deer; or tho lolling, the book,
the delicious nap on the balcony, in the
summer-house, or ON the rustic seat on
the lawn of the long sittings at meals,
and the after-dinner cigar OF the pol
ished groups in easy but vivacious con
ycrsation i'll tho parlor Of the chival-
ric devotion to beautiful women of the
pleasant evening drives Of the visits
to the plantation, with its long, broad
expauso of waving green. dotted here
and thero with groups OF industrious
slaves OF the long rows OF negro cab
| ins, with little pick -aninies playing
about them; of the old well with its
beam and pole for drawing, and the
women with pals Of water on their
heads; Of tho old field airs ringing out
from the cabins at night; Of the
"Christmas' gif' massa." breaking
your slumbers on the holiday morn of
the gay devices tor fooling the dignified
old darkeys on the first of April ; of the
old faithful nurse who brought you

roof you delighted to partake of an oc-
casional meal of the hattering. foot

the days that are no more. The
southerner OF old used to be the hap
piest of mon. There was nothing to
disturb them, nothing to do, nothing
they wished done that others were not
at hand to do. Happiness was not only

ioyment their occupation. Now the
cares OF life, the struggle for living
weighs them down. 1t often strikes mo,
as I think of tho strongest forco in phys
sizes is evolved from the greatest con-
sumption of material, so it is ordained
in human affairs that the most exquis-
ito happiness shall be founded on the
intenscst misery of others.
