The following account of matters in Ma
poleonville is interesting:
March 90, lS77-A grand Democratic mass
meeting was held here to-day, composed OF
between thirty and forty men, and passed
the following resolutionsf
l. A pledge to recognize only Nichols as
the legal Governor.
2. If they can not get Nichols to have a
military Governor.
8. Another pledge not to pay any taxes
except to Nichols tax collector. This
pledge was from only those few men.
The Nichols collector opened an Office;
he had no rolls and nothing that belonged
to the office. He has since been enioined
from collecting.

Pencs In Points Caupss.

Judge YOst may become the object of the
enmity OF Odd Fellows Hall, as has Judge
Fontelieu. number of Democrats in
Point COupee petitioned him not to hold
court because of the disturbed condition of
public affairs. But the judge rebuked them
by stating that the reasons alleged were
stronger arguments for opening court
which in such case should be ready to
maintain the law. In consequence of this
matters are very quiet in POinte COupee,
but the Democratic disturbers who have
thus been forced to subside are likely to
break out in a new place.

POLITICAL NOTES.

One of the amusing inconsistencies Of
the Democratic party, which so yirulently
denOunces carpet baggers, is the suggestion
that the political sentiment of strangers"
now in the city should be expressed. But,
of course, this has no reference to any hav-
ing Republican sentiments. That would be
an impertinent partisan interference.
General Nichols scored one in favor of
impartial administration by disapproving
the bill to divide Judge Fontelieu's district
among the surrounding judges, but his
party have resolved to get him out any
way and now proceed by impeachment.
New candidates for Senator spring up
daily at Odd Fellows Hall, and if the
thing keeps on every citizen in the State
will have received complimentary vote.
No election, of course.

Speed the PLOsc."
The Value Of Clover.


Glover is crop which has rather more
intrinsic value than any other product of
the farm. 1t can be appropriated to three
very valuable purposes. First, for pasture
and hay to feed stock second, to plow
under to improve the land, and third. 10
raise seed and fill the purse.
III indeed for pasture, turn in the stock
the first of May, or when the ground is
firm, so that the cattle will not indent the
soil with their feet. At that time the
growth will be enough advanced to enable
the cattle to thrive, and if it is the design
to raise seed, the cattle can remain on the
grass till the 10Th or goth of June, and it
will be well to have the clover cropped
pretty close at this time, as it will give the
second crop more ample chance to grow
and mature the seed.
When crop of hay in intended to be
made, and the after crop to be left to 90
to seed, the grass for hay, as a rule, should
be cut some days earlier; though there be
some disadvantage in drying the hay, the
loss will likely be more than made up by
the increase of seed, than if left standing
uncut longer time. But if it is not the
desire to grow clover for seed, the first crop
had better remain standing till the clover
blossoms have become partially brown
1t will render into hay more readily, and
there will be less danger in curing .on &C.
count of the weather, and the food will be
rellshed by the stock equally as well, ifnot
better, than when cut greener and in
slippery state.
OF the advantage of clover to the i'm
provement of the soil, the half has not
been said or told. In keeping up the fer
tility of lands, there is no crop that can be
raised on the farm that is equal to clover,
because Improperly secured the hay is the
best food for stock, and for heavy soil it is
the best to plant that can be raised to pillow
under to make the ground loose and rich
Limo and clover should go hand in hand.
in the way and means to ameliorate the
soil, and together, with the aid of other
special fertilizers, it will 60 a great way
toward supplying the deficiency of animal
manure.
Clover, to have the best ;effect'in i'm.
proving soil, should be plowed under af-
ter most of the blossoms have become
brown, then the sacharne matter Fwill be
so abundant as to create sour mould when
buried under the earth. But in all stages
OF its growth, clover turned under or left
to rot on the surface the cheapest fertilizing
substance that grows.-J0urnal of The
Farm.

Planting Corn.

An Illinois paper says DR.. Chamberlain
practical experiment demonstrated that
nearly half the time may be saved by the
use OF chloride OF lime. He had four box
es in his office. In one corn was planted
without being soaked at all In the sec
ond was planted corn soaked in warm
water. In the third seed that was soak
ed in the solution of lime; and in the
fourth other seed that had been soaked in
solution of chloride of copperas, in equal
parts. All the seed were planted at the
same time, i'll the same quality of soil, and
taken from the same ear. All the boxes
mad an equal share of heat and light, nei-
ther being allowed any advantage over
the others. In the LIST, the seed showed
no sign OF termination when the germs
were visible on the second; when the
green blades were peeping through the
ground In the third and when the blades
were between two and three inches in the
fourth.
Another fact of some Importance NAV
also be noticed; the copperas used in
soaking will prevent the birds, worms,
squirrels, ETC, from eating the seeds.
DR.. Chamberlain assured the editor of
the paper that one pound of the chloride
of lime and one pound of copperas in
water will soak enough seed for twenty
acres. The cost will nor be over twenty
five cents. ItcOrn that is not soaked comes
up badly, it is important to plant as ear
ly as possible, and when thus soaked will
catch up with the corn tirsi planted. Thus
soaking will be great advantage, too
when from any cause the corn may be
planted late.
1t will be we'll for the farmers to try this
experiment and plant in accordance with
it il it shall be found to be as represented
by DR.. Chamberlain.

" The Worthy Poor"

A dog of morals, firm and sure,
Went out to seek the worthy poor"
Dear things ~ she said, an find them out
And end their woes, without doubt"
She wandered east, she wandered west,
And many dogs her vision blest,-
Some well-to-do, some rich indeed,
And some-ah very much in need.
So poor they were without bone,
Battered and rootsore, sad and lone;
No friends, no help. "What lives they've led,
To come to this !" our doggie said.
&C ought not give to them Pm sure
They cannot be the worthy poor
They must have fought or been disgraced;
Ny charity must be well placed"
Some dogs she found, quite to her mind;
So thrifty they-so sleek and kind
" All me !" said she, "were they in need,
To help them would be JOY indeed"
Twas still the same, day in, day out
The poorest dogs were poor no doubt;
But they were neither clean nor wise,
As she could see with half her eyes.
IT'S strange what faults come out to view
' hen folks are poor. She said: "'Tis true
They need some help; but as for me,
! must not waste my charity"
SO home she went, and dropped tear.
"Pye done my duty, that is clear,
I've searched and searched the village round,
And not one worthy poor Pvc found"
And all this while, the sick and lame
And hungry suffered all the same,
They were not pleasant, were not neat
But she had more than she could eat
And don't you think it was n sin :
Was hers the right way to begin?
No, nol-it was not right, Pm sure,
For she was rich and they were poor
0, ye who have enough to spare!
10 suffering give your ready care;
Waste not your charitable mood
Only in sitting out the good.
For on the whole, though it is right
To keep the "worthy poor" in sight,
This world would run with scarce a hitch
If all could find the worthy rich.

He Wanted His Dinner.

A tall man with nose like muffin,
went into a Main street boarding house,
one day last week, and asked for a dinner.
"Owing to the general depression of
business and consequent scarcity of the
rhino," said the proprietor, looking the
tall man over, ga dinner will cost you
thirty five cents, in advance"

You give me my dinner" said the tall
man, "and I'll agree to clean your house of
every rat in it. have performed the feat
in many hotels throughout the country,
with most satisfactory results
The proprietor accepted the bargain, as
most advantageous one to himself, and
the tall man seated himself at the table,
where he did fearful execution among the
victuals He finished his dinner in half
an hour, picked his teeth with fork, call
ed for cigar, and proceeded to enjoy it.
NOW them" said the proprietor, when
the tall man had finished his smoke, " let's
get to business. Go for the rats"
"Ah, yes" returned the tall man; "with
pleasure. Procure me light iron bar,
about four feet in length, and l will pro-
coed to business"
The bar of iron was produced, and the
loafers gathered around to witness the IN
teresting proceedings.
"Now begin" said the proprietor
Where'll you commence first 2"
Right here" replied the tall man. as lie
carefully rolled back his cuffs, spit on his
hands, and grasped the iron bar firmly,
while the proprietor stood by, with great
anxiety depicted ON his countenance.
"Now," said the tall man, impressively,
as he slowly elevated the bar care you all
ready ?"
Already" returned the proprietor, ex-
citedly.
"Then," said the tall man, bring on
your rats"
For the space of five minutes the excite
meht of an entire presidential election fill
ed the room. When it subsidized the tall
man was nowhere to be seen, and the pro-
prietor was standing before Il glass, tying
an oyster over his left eye. The rats still
revel in their native freedom.-R ockland

PROBABLE RESULT OF FOREIGN
WAR-Both Russia and Turkey, the two
powers now involved, are grain producing
countries. Russia usually exports each
year about 35.000,000 bushels of grain to
England and European countries Turkey
and her dependencies last year exported to
Great Britain alone, 100000 bushels, so
that war between these countries would
probably cut off about AZ, 900, 900 bushels OF
grain usually distributed throughout Eu-
rope. This deficiency the United States
would be mainly expected to supply. This
is only one way in which the war would
affect us; but it is the one which has a
direct bearing on our railroads, whose bus
mess is either good or bad, according as
the crops of the Western States are large or
small, and according as there is foreign
demand or not for them. There are other
ways in which the war would favorably
affect us, and not few in which the effect
would be unfavorable. 1t is early yet to
say what the Western crops will be; the
indications, so far, however, are favorable.

A MURDERoUs SEA FLowER.-One of the
exquisite wonders of the sea is called the
opelet, and is about as large as the German
aster, looking indeed very much like one.
Imagine very large double aster, with
ever so many long petals of II light green,
glossy as satin, and each one tipped with
rose color. These lovely petals do not lie
quietly in their places, like those of the
aster in your garden, but wave about in
the water, while the opelet clings to rock.
How innocent and lovely it looks on its
rocky bed Who would suspect that it
would eat anything grosser than dew or
sunlight2 But those beautiful, waving
arms, as you call them, have use besides
looking pretty. They have to provide for
a large open mouth, which is hidden down
deep among them-so hidden that one can
scarcely find them. Well do they perform
their duty, for the instant foolish little
fish touches one of the rosy tips he is struck
with poison as fatal to him as lightning
He Immediately becomes numb. and in a
moment stops struggling +; and then the
other beautiful arms wrap themselves
around him and he is drawn into the huge,
greedy mouth, and is seen no more. Then
the lovely arms unclose apd wave again in
the water looking as innocent and harmless
as though they had never touched fish.

improvements in using the coulter on

A Shaker farmer us Mt. Lebanon told
me that in breaking up and deeply plow-
ing an old pasture, where he was using
three yoke ofoXen, the reversal of the coul-
ter so as to give it drawing instead of
pushing cut, made the difference ofdraught
of one pair of oxen. The idea is not pat
ened it belongs to formers-G. A. L0mas,

A WONDERFUL LAKE.-We have more
than once heard of the wonderful proper
ties of the waters of Deep Spring Valley
lake, but, until the present, not with suf-
ficiency of detail to give the story full
credcnce. Lieutenant Wothersp0on, Co.
d. Twelfth United States Infantry, in COM
mand of the relief party for Captain Joe's
Indians passed several days last week in
the valley, and bears witness to the literal
truth of the remarkable phenomena
These are, that at certain times the ducks,
which visit the lake in great numbers, be
come so loaded down with crystalizations,
of boraX, salt or some similar substance,
that they are utterly unable to fly, and
while in this condition become an easy
prey to the Indians, who wade into the
water and pick them up in their hands,
In fact, this substance often collects upon
the birds bills in such weight as to actual
ly drag their heads under water and drown
them. AS asserted by Mr.. Beasly and
family, who have lived near the lake for
years, the ducks are often loaded with sew
eral pounds weight Of this substance not
less than ten pounds in some instances
During the first stages the crystals are
quite evenly disposed over all the birds
feathers above water, sticking them togeth-
er as firmly as if glued. Then it accumu-
lates in punches or strings forming drags
or RATS with which the bird can swim but
slowly, if at all; and if formed from the
bill or head, soon causes its death by
drowning.-JnyO (Cdl) independent.
