A Minnesota editor rejects Spring
poem with the remark ihat--"it lacks
the divine afiiatus of the true bard
the redolent ichor of genuine poesy."
That's it, to a dot That's what's the
matter! The poems that come here
have considerable sifiaius, hut they
want the "divine," they are chuck
full of ichor, but lack pespicously
the "retlolent" feature. We would
respectfully state to aspiring bards
that every poem sent here without re-
dolent ichor goes straight into the
waste basket.

The annual yield Of potatoes in the
United States, according to the re-
turns OF the last census, was nearly
$50, 900, 900 bushels. In view Of the
increasing attention lately given to
this crop it will doubtless show at the
close of the present decade a large in
crease in the amount of the yield as
well as in the number and in improve
ment of varieties. In fact, it may
safely be assumed that, in spite OF the
fears of many in regard to the ravages
Of the beetle, this crop will show a
yield at the next census OF over 2OO,-
600, 900 bushels.

past his premises, but the brute ap-
peared so obstinate that they at last
told the farmer that, as they were
having so much trouble with the hog,
if he would kill il for them ne might
have half for his lahof, Accepting
so generous an offer, he soon had the
hog dressed, when the men took half

Not long afterward the farmer went

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair

ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands

will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair

Last year q great cyclone swept
over the land which threatened de.
struction to law, order, property,
government-everything. But the
storm disappeared as suddenly and
mysterlously as 1t arose. The gov
ernment survived the shook, but it
was left faint and trembling, and
In state to inspire little hope of
its future stability. If confidence
is to be placed in the telegram we
print elsewhere, the country is now
to 60 through the throes of another
series of strikes and riots, not to
say anarchy or hint at the stern
possibility of revolution. With
this condition of things staring us
in the face, We may we'll stop aud
ask, "What is the cause of 1t alp"
There must be something radically
wrong in country where there is
such general discomfort that such
disorders as the above are con-
slant night t-mare of dread. Are
the reasons to be found in the nat
ural and unavoidable contingencies
of over-population AS pictured by
Malthus and Macauly. or is the
present situation the result Of the
governmental misrule which has
afflicted this nation so long, under
the Radical regime, and which q
wise policy would have prevented.
We think the latter.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July "a
Representative Kelly was before
the Potter Committee this morn
ing and testified that he visited
New Orleans in November, 1875.
President Grant. while in Phila-
delphia participating in the closing
ceremonies of the Exposition, sent
for witness. President Grant pro-
posed that he should visit New Or
leans to witness the action of the
Returning Board. At first he de.
clined, but the President said that
q number OF prominent gentlemen
OF the Democratic party had gone
there, and therefore he wanted him
to go. He was merely to go to New
Orleans as looker-on and to see
that nothing improper should oc.
cur. On arriving at New Orleans
he found q number of visiting gen.
tlemen, all Republicans in politics.
Kelly, in the course of his testi-
mony, said he never heard of any
suggestion to manipulate parishes
