BROOM CORN.
METHOD OF CULTURE AND CURING.

Plant same as Indian corn (un-
less the soil be very rich, when it
should be planted in drills, close
together, to prevent its becoming
too long and coarse-fne medium
length bush being desirable); culti-
vate thoroughly; cut with six inches
Of stalk. while the brush is perfect
" green, just before the seed be-
gins to harden; scrape the seed
from the brush clean; dry in sheds,
avoiding all exposure to the sun and
weather; spread on poles or wires
not more than two inches thick,
leaving space enough between the
different shelves to permit a free
circulation of air; watch it while
drying, and stir it if in danger Of
becoming mouldy or stained; when
thoroughly dried. pack in bales
Weighing about two hundred
pounds; lay smoothly in press, the
brush in the center of the bale and
the, butts at the ends, using an inch
slat on each corner of the bale. A
neat, compact bale of smooth, fine,
pea-gresn brush, will always sell for
one-third more than badly baled,
coarse, pale, or red brush.

Capt. James b. Eads, who built
the great bridge across the Missis-
sippi, at st. Louis, and who is now
constructing the jetties at the mouth

ed on the charge Of Wholesale rob-
berry, in connection with the failure
of the Bank of the State of Mis-
souri,. He is one of the directors
of the Bank. The cause of the

the perversion of its funds and
credit by the directors to their in

WHO DOES HE REPRESENT.

The New York World says: By
the way, who does Mr.. Blaine rep
resent in this present crusade? Not
the people of Maine, for at the last
election eleven voters out Of every
twenty voted against him and his
party. Not the Republican party,
for at its last convention his candi-
dature was regarded as certain to
be disastrous, and there was stam-
pede to name Hayes. lest Blaine
might be chosen. Not the North,
for at the last election only forty
seven voters in every hundred cast
Republican ballots, and of those
torty-seven not all are, we feel sure,
willing to enlist in the Mulligan
Guards Whom does Mr.. Blaine
represent?

HOW TO GO TO SLEEP.


Sit down in an easy position, re-
Taxing all the muscles Of hs-bodyT
and let the head drop forward ION
the breast, ~ low AZ it-Sihfslk
without forcing it. Sit quietly this
way for few moments, freeing all
the will power of the body, and q
restless, drowsy feeling will ensue. :
which will, If not disturbed, leal to
refreshing sleep. If the sleepless
fit comes on in the night, one can
simply sit up in the position des-
cribed. Stiffness of any part OF ths'
body must be avoided, and it is well
to bend the body forward after
lying down, rather thnncrto keepat
straight or thrown back upon the
pillow. The writ5r suffered years
from sleeplessness caused by severe
pain and nervousness, and was
taught the above by physician of
great experience and ability, and
found through it great relief. Many,
persons similarly afflicted. within
the writer's knowledge, h<se tried
it, and always with good results.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Next Tuesday night the latest
hours Of the wasting year will drag
their weary length along" and
"Old u.s." with his joys apd his
sorrows, must pass from the calen-
dar of the present. and assume his
appointed position. throughout time
and eternity, i'll the interchangeable
record of the past. Some there are
who will preserve his memory fresh
and green, to whom the passing
year will ever be associated with
thoughts of JOY and happiness. But
many who welcomed his coming
with hearts light with fair promises,
full of anticipated happiness and
prosperity. and fondest hopes for
the future, are now resting in IN
timely graves. or live but to mourn
for homes made desolate-whose
hopes have been blasted, and who
have received but sorrow and
lamentation as their portion.
So far as Covington is concerned,
We have been fortunate. There has
not. perhaps, been as much bust
ness transacted, nor as large crops
made in our parish as in some for
mer years; but the excellent health
which has prevailed with US
throughout the year, while other
portions of our fair State and the
Sunny South have experienced the
ravages of most disastrous and
death-dealing pestilence. should
more than compensate for the slight
reduction in traffic and trade. 1t
is naturally true, that soma homes
in our midst have been visited by
the fell destroyer; but we have been
free from the rayages of contagious
diseases of any kind. While feel
ing thankful that the Old Year has
left us SO little to regret. in COM
parison with other sections, We
hope that with the bright New Year
may come health. happiness and
increased prosperity to all.
But the future is before us. and
New Years Day. that universal day
of virtuous resolutions and intended
reforms, is near at hand. In the
words Of Sargent. we bid adieu to
the Old Year, with its record Of
disease and death, and gladly vel
come the New:
We will not deplore them. the days that
are past;
The gloom of misfortune is over them
cast;
They are heightened by sorrow and sui
lied by care;
Their griefs were too many, their joys
were too rare;
Yet, now that their shadows are on us no
more,
Let us welcome the prospect that bright
ems before.

Rice can be probably raised on

The Silver Conference in Paris

The Silver Conference in Paris
closed on Wednesday, the Goth ult.,
and ended. as most people expected
it would end, in failure to agree on
anything. The foreign delegates,
however, before separating resolved
that, while it was desirable that gold
and silver should both continue to
circulate as money, each nation
should do as it pleased about the mat
ter; or, in other words, declared that
though fox without tail was a
very good-lookiDg animal, each fox
should decide for himself whether he
woald wear his tail or not. The ia
tai defect in the American case was
we'll known to the Europeans that we
had, without any reflection and 10
Difference to considerations in no de-
gree scientific, rushed into situation
which was alarming our wisest heads,
but in which it is for the interest of
most European countries that we
should stay. as they all want an out
let for their superabundant silver.
They consequently listened both to
our politicians and economists with
politoness. but probably laughed
among themselves over our blight
and over our simplicity in supposing
they were going TO help US out of it.
The best thing for US to do now 10
to consider seriously, and with no
more cursing and yelling, how to
prevent silver from driving gold out
of use and becoming our sole stand.

In Maine the law is that q cRndi-

sequence is that though Connor, the
