Such was Judge Hoar's motion in the

Upon the introduction of HoRr's order,
Abbott, of Massachusetts, offered q num-
Der of substitutes fer it, one after the
other, covering the various objections;
but they were each and all rejected IS to

the reception of evidences to show the
unoOustitutionality of the Returning
Board and its acts; the second, 30 show
that it was not legally constituted; the

/ fourth, to show it had no jurisdiction to
canvass the votes for electors; the filth
/ to show that it acted upon false, fabri
Gated, and forged afFdavits in the rejec-
ton Of over 10000 votes; and the sixth,
to show that it was guilty of false pre-
tences in the compilation and canvass OF
the votes. When ell of Mr.. Abbott s

Turnips Declared a Sure Cure for
Hog Cholera.

Major John Million, a wellknown citizen
of Laplats, Macon county, Missouri, has
great faith in turnips as a sure cure for the
disease known as hog cholera. So great is
his faith that he has filed claim with the
State Government for the $4,000 reward
offered by the Legislature for a remedy for
that disease. Major Million was Commits
sioner in the Confederate army. While
acting in that capacity he had charge at one
time of many thousand head of hogs,
which were collected together in Missis-
sippi when the cholera broke out among
them. Immediately upon discovering the
prevalence of the disease he says he began
to exert himself to save as many as posi-
Bile. He separated them rs well as possible,
keeping the infected ones apart. He had on
hand, also, large quantities of turnips,
which he began to feed the hogs. Very
soon he observed a marked improvement,
and then he made numerous experiment.
He selected some of the diseased hogs and
penned them apart. They were fed ON
turnips and nothing else, and all of them
recovered. He says his experiments de-
monstrated the fact that turnips are not on
ly a cure but a preventive of cholera He
has impaired the secret to many farmers in
this State, all of whom found the remedy
sure. Major Million states that unless the
hog is too far gone to eat, the turnips will
cure him. The remedy is cheap one and
easily procured, and it can certainly do no
harm for farmers to give 1t a trial.-Hdn-
nibal No. Clipper.

Washing.

The following suggestions are recommen-
ded by a correspondent who has tested them.
For ordinary washing, use Tablespoonful
of borax to every five gallons of water, and
two ounces of soap; soak the clothes over
night give them thorough boiling without
wringing. When the clothes are very much
soiled see that the water is made soft with
borax. Cloths thus washed will not turn
yellow. In washing hannels, use one table
spoonful of borax to five gallons of water,
without soap. 1t will not shrink them
For starching linen, use one tablespoonful
of borax to one pint of boiling starch. For
washing and bleaching laces, put one table
spoonful of borax to one pint Of boiling
water, leave the articles to soak in the solu-
tion for "a hours then wash with little soap.
| For cleansing black cashmeeres wash in hot
suds with little horax in the water; rens
in blueing water-very blue, and iron on
the wrong side while damp.

About the Anaconda.

The anaconda in the Geological Gardens,
London, which has been considered quite
respectable snake. turns out to be a com
paritively small creature of its kind. Hen
ry J. Cook of Caracas, Venezuela, in
letter to Frank Buckland, states that in
the small rivers which flow into the Orino-
CO, there are large numbers of anacondas
much larger than the one the society has,
and that in large pond near friends
house in Maturin lives in shy retreatment
one that is thirty-six feet long and a yard
in diameter. The managers of the Gardens
have offered $2,500 for the capture and de-
livery in England Of this serpent. 1t re.

Management of Fruit Trees.

What may be tender, quick growing
sprout will in October be strong, woody
branch, and perhaps branch just where
it is not wanted, and which must be re-
moved by the use of saw or strong knife
At the right time the shoot could have
been rubbed off, and not only the trouble
of removing the branch avoided, but the
useless growth would have been directed to
parts where it was needed.
If one has a careful eye to his young
trees, he can, by rubbing off a bud or shoot
here and pinching shoot there, so direct
the growth that by the time the trees come
into bearing they will be of proper form
and very little work will be required of the
pruning saw and chisel.
II large limbs are to be removed from
neglected trees, this month or next (ac-
cording to locality-at any rate, when the
spring growth is made and the leaves have
attained full size and substance) is by many
preferred for the work, as wounds now heal
rapidly. Cut all large wounds smooth
with drawing knife and cover with shell
lac varnish, melted grating wax, or thick
paint
Borers do not breed IN the tree, as some
suppose. Every borer in the tree went in.
The parent winged insect laid the egg on
the bark The little borer hatched ont at
once bored its way into the tree, and there
it will stay until it comes out as a perfect
insect, or is cut out, or is punched TO death
in the hole. But please observe, no patent
stuff that is to be laid in the crotch of the
tree, no stuff that you may paint on the
trunk, no ''invigorator" or anything tha
you apply to the soil, to be taken up by
the roots and thus poison the borer, Will b'

with such treatment the borer is quietly a

laugh at the folly of the performance. Gu

To the Murphy Boys.

Almost every one who opposes the
Murphy movement, as a last resort, say,
80, yes, it is good thing, if the boys keep
the pledge but don't think they'll
stick" Now, my dear boys, are such
cynics right in their judgment? When
put my name on the Murphy card and
donned the blue ribbon, did it with ma
ture deliberation and / think we all did
the same. Since then, have continued to
feel better over it day by day, for ! have
done one thing, at least, of which / may
well be proud; think these are the senti-
ments of all the Murphy boys. Now
knowing this, and having been there my
self, take this opportunity to tell those
who harp on that one string-to dry up
Of course, no ore pretends that there are
no sneaks, no towards, no hypocrites in the

The Power of Love.

The sentiment of love is too frequently
made light Of; that which is the most
potent agency Of this, our earth; that which
has been the central FIRE of many OF those
revolutions, is moekingIy referred 10 as If
it were a subject for trifiing But love in
woman has q true meaning. Love in man
Is an ennobling passion; it is dew upon
the flower as purple dawn upon the sky, as
the quiet streamlet in the valley, as an
orchard resplendent with early blossoms;
it is as morning prayer; as it is an even
ing hymn; il is as child asleep and dream
ing Of heaven. 1t may be as a deluge that
spreads around vievless waste, without a
dove, olive branch or rainbow; i, may be
as a fruitful field withered with poisoned
wind; it may be as q delectable mountain
thrown asunder by the inward fire: it may
/ be as the home sickness of the exile; it
may be despair; il may be insanity that
laughs aloud and then expires. Love
while its object lives in purity makes a
! poet of whim with whom il dweils- the
