1t is shameful the way in which
the leading newspapers of this coun-
try are abusing our own lie Due.
Here are two specimens:
Mr.. LIE Due, our commissioner of agricul-
ture, is not a practical man, but he is tull 0
magnificent Intentions. In fact: he is about
seven-eighths intentions. We hope he will
not 60 to the length Of advising that oul
farmers plant caramels OR work mottoes on
perforated paper: but if he can convince
them that hop poultices are good for chill
blains on currant bushes no one will find
fault.-New York Herald.
In the opinion of the New York Tribune
LIE Due fought to be constituted a distinct
branch of the government all by himself
1t would then be the executive, the legisla-
tive, the judicial, and lie Due, and it ought
to be the strongest on the face OF the globe
Chicago Times.
We are afraid that when the
Chicago Times says that LIE DUO
would make our government the
''strongest' on earth it refers to the
colored gentleman's comparison
''strong--not like Samson, but strong
like a billy goat"

Greenback meetings are beng held every
night, in all parts OF Michigan, and every
where the people are awake tothe importance
of the subject. Ii the people of other States
are as thoroughly aroused and as deeply i'll
earnest as the citizens OF this State, both OF
the old political parties may as well make uI
their minds that their days are nearly num-
bered. After the next general election, there
will not be enough left OF either OF the old
organizations to make d res pectable corpse
The honest masses have finally taken hold OF
political reform, and they MEAN BUSINESS.
They are tired of being robbed and enslaved
to enrich a few soulless aristocrats. Let the
ball roll on, no matter how many Shylocks
and drones 1t may crush. Ii anybody is to
be ground to powder, We hope it may be those
who have so leng been using the industrial
classes as their grist Michigan SUN.
That's the way to talk it.
Why don't all Il cities initiate
the example of Hastings and form
Greenback Congresses! The one in
Hastings is hourishing finely, and
they are making arrangements to ex-
tend their organization into every
town in the county. They will send
an organizer into any part of the
State. Address p. Il. Cook, Esq.

The St. Paul Dispatch says that the pub
fishers ring disbursed twenty thousand
dollars during the session OF the Legislature,
and Senator Donnelly AYERS that the head
quarters Of the ring were established at a no
torious bagnio. Members were enticed thlther
and were offered money for their votes. They
dared not follow Brandtfs example, because
they would be asked where the attempt to
bride them was made! 1t would have been a
lasting disgrace To the State had this KIND OF
tactics met with success. and it Is remarkable
that members no have any respect Tor
themselves could continue TO side with the
ring When they must have been aware OF the
corrupt influences that 1t was employing to
defeat the Merrill bill .-Monticello Times.
To our mind that was the most
shocking part of the whole perform
ance. Brandt's exposure served only
to increase the zeal of the opponents
of the Merrill contract F., and they fell
upon poor Brandt like a pack of
wolves.

Senator Lamar sent this sentiment to Au-
gusta, Ga: The typical 1rishman: His
home-the world. His triends-all the peo-
pie. His faith-his own. No cline to him
so cold as will not produce a shamrock; no
soil so barren as will not grow a shlllalah.
Foremost at a fight, %frolic, or a funeral, his
generous nature finds a blow for the bad, a
smile tor the grad, or a tear for the sad"
We protest against this p~icturing
of the typical Irishman as Il rollick-
ing. reckless, drinking, fighting,
misunderstanding inconsequential
blackguard. The Irishman Of Mimi
esota is a prudent, temperate, indus
%trious, shrewd, f%ar-seeing man and
he equals in prosperity the men of
any other race on earth. Ii you doubt
this, go down to Rosemount prairie,
in Dakota county, or attend a Father
Matthew supper in st. Paul OF Mime
apolis.
Lamar no doubt thought he was
complimenting Irishmen by his
jingle of words ; and probably his
knowledge of the race is confined to
the Barney Williams type represented
in low comedy.

Edible Animals.

Having been bound up in Paris during the
siege, the editor of the London Truth ought to
know something about the taste OF the meat
of the various kinds of animals which were
then used for human food. A shop for the
sale of horseflesh having been recently opened
In London, he writes, apropos OF 1t:
"a contemporary calls upon me to give
my experience of horseiesh. 1t Is like third
rate beef; it cannot be said to have dis
agreeable taste, for it has no taste at all.
Donkey, on the other hand, is delicious, and
infinitely better eating than beef or mutton.
This the French soon discovered during the
siege of Paris, for portion" Of donkey
cost about six times as much as portion"
of horse Cats taste exactly like rabbits; 1t is
impossible to distinguish between them. The
objection to rats is that when cooked their
flesh is gritty. This objection, however, is
somewhat epicurean, for, except for this grit
tiness they are wholesome and excellent ar
ticle of food. am surprised that there isnot
a society for the promotion OF eating rats.
Why should not prisoners be fed with these
nourishing and prolific little animals

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

BENEFITS OF AssoCTATIoN-A mutual in
terchange of ideas, an intelligent cooperative
action on the part of those whose interests
are identical, is much needed. Planters must
move with the age-keep up with the other
professions, not years behind Individual eff
fort can accomplish but little; organization is
what now rules the world.
Combinations of capitalists get all they ask
from legislatures, or prevent what they do
not desire. Have our planters ever been
known to organize and to ask the Legisla-
ture for special privileges, or to prevent the
enactment of class laws against their inter-
estS?
There is no reason why the planter should
be sort of food for other organizations to
feed upon, without preparing to devour in re-
turn for f-protection.
