VINO 1T WAs.-The colored minister who

lev. James WilmOre, q local preacher of

CATION.
PoSTAL.--llerealtcr postmasters are pro.
prohibited from placing stamps on letters
offered to them, and it would seem wisely
so, since if the letters do not arrive At
their destination they are liable to be
charged with the result. The mere eXer.
ton OF placing a stamp on Il letter is so
slight that even an invalid could perform
1t and retire with the consciousness Of no
mistake.

STEIFE.-It is reported from Frederick
that Dr. Cahall is openly out as Il candidate
for Governor against John W. Hall. Esq.
and that his friends in Kent intend to
give those Of Mr.. Hall a not contest for tine
control Of the State Convention. 1t is
understood in and around Frederick. and
all over Murderkill, that the wires are
already in motion, and before the time for
the State Convention arrives it is cxpected
that political things in all that locality viii
be red hot. Under these circumstances
many Murderllillcrs say drop both, and
compromise on William Townsend.-N -Neys.

THE Treaty Of Peace between Russia and
Turkey has been formally ratified at
last at st. Petersburgh, but rumors of war
between other powers again fill the air
England, in her intense jealousy of Russia
refuses to accept anything as settled, and
seems determined to have the strife pro.
longed; but she must have help or she will
not resort to war. Whether Austria will
come to her aid, or will take the advice of
her neighbors on the North and be quiet,
remains to be seen; but the probabilities
are all against her going to war with Russia
to crafty her remote though disinterested
neighbor, Lord Beaconsfield. Thus far
events have moved on grandly toward the
liberation of the oppressed Christian nations
that were under Turkish rule, and we trust
that the same overruling Providence will
complete the work even to the utter ex-
tinctien of that rule. 1t seems impossible
that it should be reformed.

THERE was jubilee held when the Tweed
dynasty was overthrown, but according to
all accounts, if the state of things has not
become worse, it has not greatly improved.
1t now costs over $3OOOO,OOO a year to
sweep and govern the single city of New
York. Where the money goes to no one
seems to know. although there are many
rumors about it.
Another effort is now made TO cleanse the
Augean stable. A new organization of
citizens have been formed under the name
OF " The New York Taxpayers Protective
Association" the object of which is to
make common cause against the official
corruption and extravaganza which weigh
so heavily on New York. An address has
been issued, winch declares that the CITY
can be governed better for Sl5,OOO,OOO or
$20000.000 than It cr e3OOOOOOO.
and that the tiiac s.a combina.
ton Of men of all political parties to re.
deem the city from the thraldom of mis-
government and maladministration which
threaten even the commercial supremacy
of the city.

The Philadelphia Times remarks that
while Carl Schurz is hardly equal to James
G. Blaine in the fireworks of oratory, he
can crowd a good deal of hard sense and
homely truth into few lines. He answers
all of Blaine's recent assault upon him
when he says: 81 never thought it was
un-American to prevent stealing and to
enforce laws" This apropos of the Secre-
tary of the Interior breaking up the whole
sale depredations on the government tim
Der lands. The politicians of all grades
look upon a cabinet officer as a public target
and if Mr.. Schurz had not attempted to
break up this wholesale stealing from the
government he would have been more
roundly abused than he has been. The
object of Blain was to find fault.

The exports of domestic produce are still
on large scale, and are likely so to con-
tinue. 1t is intimated that the supply of
wheat to be released by the raising of the
blockade of the Russian Black Sea ports is
much smaller than at first represented,
owing to the boarding policy of that govern.
ment, and that the great deficiencies of
Western Europe will compel an uninter
rupted drain upon American cereal re-
sources, whether the result of present politi
cal complications shall be peace or war.

The Morning Herald of Wilmington in
commenting on the gossip of the Milford
Ne,Os lin another colunm) that there is a
strong current in Frederick running in the
direction Of DR.. Cahall for Governor, SAYS =:
at may be that Senator Bayard, Joining
with Cove Salisbury, as in 1874, will take
a hand in the contest here, the primary OBJ
ject of which would be to nominate Mayor
Whiteley for CoDgress--in such case COM
bination with the Sachems, in Kent NAV
be attempted, and thus precipitate warm
contest. One thing ought to be understood
in advance, that whatever candidate NAV
be nominated for Mayor Of Wilmington, in
September next, should be solemnly pledged
before hand, to keep his police out of poll
tics, and not have repeated the scenes of
the contest for delegates to St. Louis. on
which occasion the police openly and un.
seemingly electioneered at every poll in
the city as partizans Of their Mayor. althouoh
the time so occupied was paid for bv tba
citizens of Wilmington, irrespectiye Of
either party or faction"
This position in regard to the place of
the police is very wise and proper. They
should not be made the tools of politicians
to wash their dirty linen for them. Officers
of the law should see after the law, and not
be diverted from their legitimate duty by
scheming politicians.

Raising Calves without MIX.

We take the following from the Live
Stock Journal: "Calves have often been
raised upon hay-tea for few weeks, and
then meal and bran mixed in. Good hay
contains all the elements necessary to grow
a calf, but dry hay cannot be used by the
young calf; its first stomach is not sufli-
GENTLY developed for that When the hay
is stepped in hot water, the soluble food con-
tanned III it is dissolved out, and this liquid
is easily digested by the calf But better
food than this is prepared by making flax.
seed cruel. The nax-seed contains an oil
which answers the purpose of the cream in
milk, and it is also rich in albuminoids, SINH
lar in composition to the casein in milk.
Boil one quart Of flax-seed in two gallons of
water after the seed is boiled into muci
lage, stir in two quarts of good oats, or the
same of middlings. This will require dilut-
ing with warm water into a thin cruel when
used. When the calf is young this amount
will be sufficient for three days, and the
amount must be increased as the calf grows
older, except that the fiax-seed need not ex.
coed one pint per day at any time the other
food can be increased according to the needs
of the calf. If hax-seed is difficult to OBJ
tain, oil-meal may be used instead, dissolved
in hot water. Very good calves may be
raised by either of these methods"
