VIII Mr.. MiIlikan please tell his readers
why they should vote for Mr.. English p
Register.
Yes, sir: Because he is an honest man,
capable man, good lawyer, true to his
clients, true to the cause of justice; never
swindles the heirs to an estate whose in
te-ests have been entrusted to him in his
professional character; and because he
has always been an unfinching friend of
the Union, an enemy to rebellion and a
sound Republican in principles, and
the great mass of the people of the Dis
trict think this is more than can truth
fully be said of some Democratic aspi-
rants for Congressional honors; but we
forbear to call names.

The, farmers of Fayette are getting tired
of voting their real and personal proper
ty into the hands of officers to be sold at
twO-thirds Of its appraised dvalue.-Regis-
ter Of last ggeek.
We confess that we are at loss to know
what brother Kerr means by this unex-
planned paragraph. Is it possible that he
has just discovered that the farmers of
Fayette county have asensible realization
of the fact that they were most egregious-
ly sold in the election Of Sheriff, two
years ago, and that they are tired of vot-
ing him into an Office to trifle away their
personal and real property, and that they
intend to elect in his place man who is
not only competent, but man who has
some idea of proper and impartial dis
charge of the duties of the Office, and who
will perform his duty on this principle.

In his last issue, brother Kerr in no.
ticing the good qualities of the several
Democrrtic candidates for county offices,
has most lavishly applied the whitewash
to Sheriff Smith, and we suppose consoles
himself with the idea, that by his vioor-
Gus use of the brush, he's completely hid
den the innumerable bIunders and official
short comings of that intOlerably super
fetal individual, dressed il little brief
authority. If we are to take brother
Kerr's Endorsement and eulogy of Smith,
as sheriff, he is to be regarded as a pink
of perfection and model sheriff; for, says
the Register, "We don't believe there is
a Sheriff in the State who has committed
less errors-when we take into consider
5n the amount of business he has trans
Alled-than has Os. Smith," Ye gods
and little fishes, what sheriff! If Bro.
Kerr expects the voters of this county to
believe this unwarranted assertion (which
he may believe himself) he certainly un-
der-estimates the good sense, intelligence
and experience of at least very great
portion of those who have, necessarily,
had business transactions with Smith In
bis Official capacity.

lost citizen of distinction like Stanley
Matthews may be in the pickling vat of
the Cleveland Homeopathic college.
Three distinguished corpse shave already

1t is little comfort that Mr.. Hayes is
likely to get from any source, but he
can now sanctimoniously commiserate
Hale and Blaine, who were afraid they
would lose caste if they favored his po-
licy only few months ago.
It is not unlikely that The jerks is
deceiving the credulous public in pro-
Tossing desire to stump Massachusetts
for Butler. Beneath the specious pre-
tense there probably turks a design of
riding into glorious renown on the wave
of popular enthusiasm that Is sweeping
John Shirman icto the Presidential
chair.
The bondhoiders7 and army officers
are the oppressed classes" towards
whom the hearts of the Connecticut Ra-
ideals yearn most tenderly. To question
the right of these to own and posses all

are but a few thousand patriots in the

FAR AWAY. Flal.l

BY WILLIAM TENNYsoN HEAroN, AUTHOR OF
SONGS OF THE SHENANDOAH.
Far away on Shenan's breast reposing,
Golden lilies sweep the waters edge,
And there in twilight shadow night is closing.
While low winds moan above the sedge.
Far away in hammered forests dusky,
The leaves are rustling DER the sod,
Darkened valleys send fragrance musky,
Anddreaming flowers gently sway and nod.

Arab Lying.

The Arabs Of Egypt, so travellers say,
believe that to tell a lie IN the morning
insures good luck for the rest of the day,
1t is their favorite way of beginning tine
twenty-four hours. If liar is found out
be is chag"ined because he has not lied
c!everly enough. Should his lie prove
successful he is as proud as if he had
been promoted to lucrative office.
The native servant Of an English
officer hired boat to transport his mas
ter some two hundred miles on the Blue
Nile for twenty five Turkish dollars. The
Armenian owner Of the boat was called
before the Pasha to ratify the bargain.
Seeing that it was European who want
ed transportation he declared that it was
impossible that his Captain could have
let the boat at such low sum. The
Captain was sent for and confronted the
servant.
Catching the owners eye the Captain
looked at the servant with surprise. Lit
ing up bis hands aud eyes to heaven, he
exclaimed:
II swear Ivy my head, by Allah above,
by the prophet. and by my eyes"-a SOL
emn oath with medans-"that I
never saw this m N before! How then
could l have let him the boat for twenty
five Turkish dollars?''
The EngIishman was forced to nav q
higher price, But as soon as the parties
lett the presence of the Pasha, then the
Captain, going up to the servant, and,
bursting into Il hearty laugh, asked: e..
Don't you think can lie well?"

NOTES for the Farm Yard.

The grazing cattle should be inspected
daily and the fences also receive attention,
lest they be broken down by the rapid
ly growing and highly-fed stock. Those
intended for winter slaughter will need
extra food unless the pastures are very
rich and good. The dairy will need par
ticular attention to keep every thing sweet
and good, especially in cheese making; a
little saltpetre will he'll to keep the curd
sweet. The aftermath will be ready in
most cases and will do mucht to keep up
the yield unless the weather is unusually
dry. Flies are still more troublesome
this month. and the cattle of all ages will
eagerly take advantage of all shade CIV
en- them. Itneed hardly be said that the
water supply should be looked after and
drink carried to all the stock by hand, if
the ponds fail. Horses are now less
pushed, and will do we'll on less or no
corn. but only cut forage besides pasture.
The less pasture and the more cut food
such as lucerne, clover, or tares-the more
economical and the more manure it can
not be too we'll understood that soiling is
comparatively as advantageous for horses
as fer horned stock. Washing and Dip
ping sneep will be necessary this month,
even more than asst, and the same time
precautions are needed for those with
sia nbs. Fold the early fields, where the
folding plan is followed, taking the fields
IN rotation as required for seeding. Swine
have plenty of food yet, but dairy wash
should be looked after against the tine
when there will be less.

shoe,ns or Not xhoefus Horses.

It is indeed strange how many men
follow extravagant, wasteful and useless
habits, simply because they have always
done so. One Of these is shoeing horses,
practice not followed at all in the
South American States and Mexico, and
equally unnecessary in this country,
which has initiated it from Europe.
Nearly twenty years ago. the attention
# the writer was drawn to the folly and
ueelessness Of shoeing farm horses. Pre-
vious to that time, he had paid out abont
$12 a year per horse for this purpose, had
almos. always been troubled with corns,
corks, in erferences and similar evils.
Since the diecontinuance of the practice,
all the split hoofs have been healed w.,
the corns have disappeared with all other
troubles, and no attention at all is re-
quired except an occasional trimming OF
the outer shell that has grown out I'M
even.
Perhaps it may be necessary to shoe
horses Il at travel upon the hard paved
streets of cities. But even this is doubt
full. 1t is not at all doubtful, if nearly
twenty years trial is worth anything, that
1t is an entire waste of money and an &C.
tual injury to farm harses to cripple
them by mailing iron shoes on their feet.
