TIE CuUFA EXPERIMENT.-Two
years ago we presented an old friend,
Cornelius Stephens, of Elevation
township, Johnston county, with a
small lot oe chufa seed, and asked as
a favor that he would try them, at
the same time giving him a printed
circular as 10 howNto plant and cult
vate. We met him at the store of
Messrs. Adams & Bingham yesterday
and asked him how he made out with
the chufas. His answer was uerbatim
as follows l planted one peck of chu-
fas on one acre of ordinary. sand land
and used 100 pounds fertilizer and two
barrels ashes. l have raised 800
pounds of pork that never saw any
cow peas or potatoes. have win
tered fifteen shoa.s and two old sows

They are now fat pork. | lost my

GOING FOR THE DOCTOR.

|
A jolly old German farmer rcde
to town after a physician for his
wife, who was very sick. He dis
mounted from his horse iu front of
saloon just as the boys inside had
begun to make merry over the FIRST
keg of buck. He approached and
looked cautiously around the
8 reen. The foaming glasses were
held high above the heads of the
revelers, as one of the number pro.
nounced toast appropriate TO tile
occasion. The silent watcher licked
his lips and wished his errand TO
town had been one not requiring
SO much dispatch. He was turn
ing reluctantly away, when the
crowd saw him. .a..
"Hello ?" they shouted, there's
Fritz. Bring him in
He was laid hold upon and
hauled up to the bar, all the while
protesting.
'Poys, vos in a quick hurry
Old woman sick like the tuyvai.4

Well, you can take some buck
while you're here, and kill two

"Oh. she won't die. Buck beer

the reckless crew, the object of bis
errand was foated farther and farther
from his vision, until it was carried
out of his mind altogether, and his
voice, untinged with anxiety. joined
in the drinking songs, and rose above
all others.
Thus he was found by his son late
that night. The DO. grasped him by
the sleeve, and said
"Fader, COON home"
Fritz turned, and at sight of the
boy great fear arose in his mind,
swept away the fumes of the beer, and
brought him to sense of the situa-
tion In an awe struck tone ne asked:
"1awcup, how you vas come here?

''Yaw," replied the boy.
''Veli, spoke up aboud it. Vos der

Fritz came at last, and was in town
again after couple of days after

get him back again, though. He
said to them:

CHUFAs.-The cultivation Of chufas
is SO simple it can be told in a few
words. Prepare the land as for beets
or carrots, in two feet rows, ridging
very slightly. Open the drills two
inches deep, and drop single nuts, one
foot apart. Keep them free from
weeds by shallow level culture. As
soon as the shoots appear they will
commence throwing out fibrous root
in every direction, upon which roots
the tubers are formed. These in time
send up new shoots. and thus the plant
continues to grow and spread until the
crop natures. About one bushel of
seed is required to plant an acre, and
a fair yield is from 100 TO 200 bush
els. The tops make excellent sheep
pasture, and should be fed off before
frost kills them. AS a food for
swine it is fully equal to corn, and
has the advantage of not requiring
harvesting other than what is needed
for seed. S. G.. s.

FANAT1c1sM. Neal Dow has in
troduced a felony bill into :the
Maine Legislature which he fondly
hopes will be more effectual than
any of its predecessors have been
in preventing the sale of liquor.--
The sale of liquor is to be punished
by fine of 5000 and six months
imprisonment at hard labor second
offence, a year. No liquor is to be
brought into the State even for
private persons. People are to be
held responsible for liquor found on
their premises, and the burden Of
proof as to ownership rests on them
Apparatus tor selling liquor found
is to be deemed evidence of guilt.
lf team is found drawing liquor,
the horses and vehicle are to be
confiscated. Common drunkards
are to be sent to Jail for year, but
released on conviction of the seller.
Drummers of liquor houses are to
be fined 81, 900 and imprisoned for
a year. Officers obtaining convic-
ton are to be paid premiums. And
SO on and so on. General Neal
Dow's legislation has, in twelve
years, increased the county taxation
of Bangor from $4,000 to $780,
900. while the number of arrests
tor drunkenness in the city has in
creased from 222 at the passage Of
the Maine Liquor Law, to no. In
1870 there were 222 arrests fer
drunkenness at Bangor in 1872,
417; in 1874, 643; in 1875, 7O4,
and in 1875, TO.

Don't Think They Feel so.

TIE republican leaders are encouraging
the faithful with the affectation of great
joy over the result Of the fall elections thus
far, and pretend to see a victory for hard
money, as they term it. over the Ohio
idea" If they are rejoicing because the
national greenback labor party has devel-
oped so little strength and may be reckon
ed virtually failnre they have undoubted-
ly good reason to rejoice but, if, as they
alege, the democratic party is also given
to the Ohio idea" they should not forget
in their rejoicing that the idea" they
speak of has lost them the majority Of the
delegation in congress from Ohio and
Indiana and broken into their heretofore
solid delegation from Maine, Vermont and
Iowa. The republicans, it will be remem-
bered, early in the campaign gave out as
the objective point of this years contest
the recaptuTs of the house of representa-
tives, and all along their line down to the
little county press that was the order, and
the watchword became everything to gain
congressman" The loss OF elev-
en- congressman to date under
such circumstances is rather melancholy
subject Of joy, and the utter impossibility
OF regaining the loss by success in the
November elections makes the prospect
exceedingly cheerful on the republican
side, in the same sense that Mark Tapley
preserved his cheeriulness. The indica-
tons arc they will have an opportunity for
the future to enjoy that kind of cheerful
ness to large extent No doubt it is q
good thing in general way to keep up
good spirits, and to rejoice even 10 advers-
ity. 1t is related of the pious Arch Bishop
Fell, that when be had the govt he used
to thank God he hadn't the gravel, aud
when he had the gravel he thanked God
all the same because he hadn't both dis
eases at the same time. About this time
the republican party can manifest the
same kind OF thankfulness

IOWA.

Some difference of opinion has been ex-
pressed relative to the validity of the cleo
ton Of congressman in Iowa at the late
election. In the first flush Of the returns
when it was seen that the hitherto IN
broken delegation of that state no longer
continued solid and that two OF the newly
elected congressman were not republicans,
there was considerable talk and some steps
taken towards holding another election for
congressman in November. Later intel
ligence indicates that both democrats and
republicans are disposed to abide by the
October election. The opinion of a ma
jority of the lawyers of that state seems to
be adverse to electing congressman in No
vember, and it is understood the demo-
Gratis will rest the matter as it is and refer
the subject to congress for decision. In
the celebrated Colorado case Of Patterson
and Bedford in which the latter had a
majority of votes, but the former was
given the place, Patterson gained his seat
by reason Of subsequent election which
Bedford and his party considered unneces-
sary, and which it seems was not actually
ordered or officially notified to the people
by the state authorities. The seating Of
Patterson under the circumstances
was scarcely defensible, and if the
House had declared there was
vacancy and sent both contestants back
to the people it would probably have been
nearer right than the course actually
adopted. The same thing may be said in
regard to Iowa. IF the present election is
illegal and void on account of non-conform-
ity with the laws which may be held to
govern the case, the house can declare 8
vacancy and remit the case back to the
people for special election as in cases o.
vacancy for any other cause.
No party can afford by any hocus-pocui
or political jugglery to adipdge and decide
contested elections in its own interes
when the law,is only doubtfully in its ia
vor and the clear and undoubted will o
the people is the other way. The fact tina

number of votes than the votes Of the dem
