The Irish Tribune, of Chicago, the lead

speaks thus of the nominees of the Spring.
field convention:
The men that were nominated were the
best before the convention. Mr.. Cropkrite
has lived for quarter of a century in
Freeport, where he grew up from work
ing man to small business man, and, in
time. to one of the largest merchants in
the State; then mayor of Freeport for two
terms, and three terms 10 the lower house
OF the Illinois Legislature. In all that tin e
not word was said against his character.
And what is still better, no man can saw
that IN carving out his fortune he ever
robbed the poor man. Indeed, in this
day OF uncertain white men, we want more
OF the Cronkrite kind of men who believe in
the good old motto, Live and let live, and
do unto your neighbors as you would have
your neighbor do unto you. Mr.. Cronkrite
deserves bumper from the workincmeu
and Democrats Of Illinois. Mr.. Etter, the
nominee for State superintendent of
schools, has held the position for the past
four ,ears, and his record got him the nom
ination on the first ballot, which speaks
volumes for him."

English Opinion.

The London Times as we are informed
by the telegraph dispatches, in comment
ing upon the communistic sentiment that
Is secretly and quietly encouraged in this
country by such journals as H'the organ"
published in this city says:
1t, as we will anticipate, the United
states IS destined to 90 through a social
crisis OF this kind, We shall doubtless hear
again, as we used to hear fifteen years ago.
good deal about the evil effects of demo-
mocratlc institutions. II. however, it is a
weakness OF institutions like those of
America to give tolerant announcement to
all sorts OF experiments in social and
political organizations, it is their strength
to be able to survive them, profit bv their
success and to be little worse for their
failure. The fabric of American society ia
so strong that it can sustain with l;ttle
or no injury shocks which would be fatal to
weaker and more effete constitutions. In
the United States the freedom of discussion
IS the safety valve through which a great
deal OF superflnous political steam escapes.
The Americans have political sagacitv
enough to distinguish sharply between in
temperate or even revolutionary speech
and rebellious action. They have unbound
ed liberation for the one, but have never
SHOWN any great patience of the other.
we do not doubt if they have to deal with
any dangerous form of communism that
they will deal with it effectively. The
social fabric of the United States is an
capable of successfully resisting such at
tack as that of any state in the world.

A writer in La1ad and Water tells how
he caught monkeys with fishing-line:
Walking carelessly through their
haunts l strewed some grain upon a
suitable place, on which dug with my
knife few round holes about four
inches deep. Coming back to the spot
in half an hour l dropped grain into
each hole and left a moose round one of
them, concealed with earth. The other
end of the line was in bush.
was there in short time, and mon
keys were busy picking up the grain.
An old fellow would look into a hole
and chatter, others came and looked
and all chartered. BY and by plucky
little fellow popped in his paw and out
again. Next time he got the corn, then
others dipped in till they finished that
hole. In due course they got to the
moose with some chatter and the same
results till the line was pulled.
A sudden scream, a general hustle,
while the captive was hauled home,
and enveloped in a horse-rug. BY this
time the troop ran up in the trees,
screaming and shaking the boughs most
ferociously, following me as | went
away with the lost one kicking till he
was tired. [ believe this moose plan is
frequently practiced.
L once caught monkey on the Trim
luck Hill Fort that fell down the face
of the scarp, knocking his head against
projections till he was brought up with
thud on a slab. He was nearly sense
less when | picked him up. No bones
were broken. In few minutes let
him go to his relations, who had never
ceased letting him know where they
were. He crawled quietly up the scarp
rock, and seemed to be received with
anger. Possibly they only wished to
know what had been said to him by the
fellow without tail.

The Curse Of a Ruined Woman.

No man will ever prosper who has
the curse of ruined woman upon him.
The murderer of the body can be tried
and executed by the worlds laws, but
the murderer of the soul is tried by
heavens law, and the execution is as
sure as divine Justice" Aunt Betsey
said this as she folded the white hands
of beautiful girl, and put white flow
ers and green leaves about the marble
cold forehead. There was tiny babe
beside the girl mother. The house was
hushed and there was mourning such
as few know. Half glad that the mother
and child were dead, the rest of the
family must perform the last sad offices
of burial and bear the family shame A
haunted house! A ruined home!-God
the architect and man the spoiler The
curse is there, and the destroyer can
not escape. Woman'S Journal

Fertility Of Dairy Farms.

Much nonsense is circulated in re-
gard to the rapid loss of fertility of
dairy farms, by reason of the carrying
away of the phosphates in the milk
Now, 1000 pounds of milk contains
about three or four pounds of phos-
pilates, of which nearly the whole is
phosphate of lime. OF this less than
half is phosphoric acid; 5000 pounds
of milk, therefore, contain but seven
and One-half pounds of phosphoric
acid, which may be taken as the yearly
consumption, in this way of each COW.
AS wheat bran contains 30 per centum
of phosphoric acid, it needs only, that
about 250 pounds of bran to be fed to
each COW, yearly, to replace the draft
upon the soil. There are few dairy
cows that are fed less than this quantity
of either bran, or some food equivalent
to it, and it is pretty certain that very
little, if any, phosphoric acid is really
taken from the soil of dairy farms. On
the contrary, to say nothing of the
natural supply in the soil, which slow
ly becomes soluble, there is good rea-
son to believe that every we'll kept
farm becomes gradually richer in phos-
pilates every year.-American Agricuk-

The Crops.

The wheat crop is already being har-
vested in many parts of the country,
and it is estimated that the yield will
reach 400, 100000 bushels, or ten BUSH
els for every man, woman and child in
the country, if the population be 49,
100000. All the grain crops look
promising. The potato crop in most of
the States will be of immense magni-
tude, though it has been damaged in
some parts of the country by excessive
rains. The grass crop is the heaviest
we have had for many years, the days
of storm in the early spring having
favored its growth. The yield of APP
pies and pears will be less than was ex-
pected. The severe frosts that occurred
during the setting of the fruit buds were
injurious, though the promise during
their blooming season was most salts
