Matyr was put in circulation. He was de-
nounced as a socialist of the German type,
as a communist of the French type, and as
bad man generally. So intense
was the hostility of radical leaders that they
invaded the sacred precincts of his religious
convictions, and even sought to make his
faithful ministerial record a means of damn
ing him in public esteem. They sought to
blacken his character, to rob him Of inhu-
ence, and to leave him social, moral, po-
htical and religious wreck. In all of this,
however, they met with signal defeat. The
democrats were honestly assured that DIR.
De La Matyr was vastly superior to John
Hanna in every particular; that he had
more brain power, larger soul, and better
purposes than his competitor, and hence
they cast their votes for him. Under such
circumstances it is preposterous to suppose
that Dr. De La Matyr can affiliate with the
radical party. Admitting that the doctor
had formerly been identified, in so far as he
took any part in politics, with the radical
party, it has occurred in thousands and tens
of thousands of instances that men of his
type have broken loose from radical trammels
and expanded to the full proportions of
conscientious men; and DR.. De La Matyr, be
it said to the credit of his head and his heart,
boldly announced his emancipation from
degrading party subservency, and stood
forth in the mastery of his superior abilities
as the champion of the welfare OF the peo-
pie. In this, call him greenbscker, national
or what not, he becomes in all essential re-
CARDS fully identified with the democratic
party. Indeed DR.. De La Matyr
goes so far, and we are sahs-
fed with his boundary line,
as he names Thomas A. Hendricks as his
choice for president in 1880. If there were
nothing else, this would be sufficient to in
dIcate the drift of his political sentiments;
but there are other questions involved, in
the discussion of which DR.. De La Matyr
will be found battling in the ranks of the
democracy of the country. The financial
issue, now so prominent, and which is not
likely to be obscured for some time
to come, involves vast deal more
in its settlement than the ques-
ton of fiat money. 1t embraces
in its grasp all questions relating to the
business welfare OF the country-its indus
tries, the development of its resources, the
employment of millions of working people
forced into idleness by the curse of radical
rule-and when all these questions are con-
sidered there will be little else upon which
divisions will be of special importance; for
these relate to the reduction of the expenses
of the government, the reduction of taxation
and the introduction OF an era of honest
government. Taking this view of the sub.
iect, we have no apprehensions as to the
course the representative of the Seventh
district in congress will pursue.

Hints for Farmers.
[Scientific Farmer j

Incresed crops and diminished expenses
are the remedies for hard times. During the
months between now and planting, consider
carefully how this remedy may be applied.
Begin this autumn by carefully selecting
from your crops the seeds for next years
use; for, as we have repeatedly shown, good
seed is at the foundation of.large crsps. Con-
slider carefully whether to plough in the fall
or spring, bringing all your past experience
TO bear on your decision. Stop all the wastes
that you find, aud even seek carefully for
wastes to be stopped. Review your past
failures and successes, and search out the
causes which operated, and decide how 10
obviate the one, and gain the other, the
coming season. Carefully reflect on your
methods of feeding IN the winter months,
and ask yourself whether a change of sys-
tenn may not be profitable. A dollar saved
here is a dollar earned and frequently the
sale OF one kind of produce and the purchase
Of another brings profit. When hay brings
a good price and straw is cheap, can not the
straw be fed profitably through the use of
roots and cotton seed meal, and a balance in
money be secured? Have you facilities for
rearing spring lambs for next June or July
market?ss, More important still consider how
much land you have which Is not producing
and yet which can be made productive. IL
you have such land it is certainly folly to
leave this capital idle. II 1t o question oil
manure? Then carefully scheme how ma
nure may be best provided, and whether
you can purchase artificial fertilizers and

HON. GILBERr DE La mArYR.

The fact that the Rev. De La Matyr will act
with the republicans In the house on all except
financial issues Is not calculated to encourage
disappointed congressional candidates TO hope
for q majority In favor Of clear steal.-Cin-
einnati commercial.
The latest authentic utterances of DR.. De
La Mstyr upon political questions do not
warrant the statement of the Commercial
with regard TO the position he Will occupy in
congress Indeed, they are directly The
reverse of the Commercials announce
ment DIR. De La Matyr indicates no pur-
pose to act with the republican party at all
upon any question, though there are ques-
lions likely to occur IN the Forty.sixth Con-
gress upon which democrats and republicans
may unite, for fortunately for the country
there are class OF measures which do not
relate 70 partisan ascendency. DIR. De La
Matyr owes his present position to the demo
cratic party. He was absolutely elected by
democratic votes, and was sustained
by the democratic press in one of
the most bitter congressional campaigns

expresses himself as entirely satisfied with
the result. He has five radiators at his resi-
dence, which furnish the same heat as one
furnace or four base burners. 1t cost $l43 to
introduce the steam heating apparatus. His
bill for steam heat for eight months October
to June) was $3.50. His coal bill for the
same time, he says, would have been $45,
while he has avoided all the trouble which
comes from caring for one large fire and sew
eral smaller ones .FhL-tt u -
One radiator used by a scientific man, who
has taken careful observations CT the work
ings of the system, cost between $50 and $40
to put in. His bill for eight months was not
half dollar less than for coal the previous
winter; but the service was more than salts
factory.
A lady who has the steam radiators ex-
pressed special qualification with the Holly
system from purely a housekeeper's stand
point. She says there is no coal dust, and
her paint doesn't require half the attention
il did when she had stoves in the house,
while her furniture is always cleaner.
1t should be borne In mind that there are
several things beside the mere furnishing of
heat which the Holly Steam Combination
Company undertakes to do, and with sue
cess. Daniel X. Humphrey, at his Locust
street wood yard, obtains his power from
the street mains for running twenty-eight.
inch buzz-saw and an ak for working cord
has ample power from this source. John
Noble, SO Market street, runs a ten borse
power engine with steam from the street
main.
Greenhouses and Conservatives can be ad-
mlrably heated by this system, preserving
an equitable temperature; laundry work
also can be done by it, and it is expected
that cooking of every description can be
done by proper utilization of the steam.
Mr.. Holly already has cooker" which
will boil.
One more virtue claimed for the Holly
system is that it can be made useful in re-
moving accumulations of ice and snow in
large cities. A coil near the curb stone at
convenient distances will melt the ice and
snow into water, which can make its escape
through the sewers.
The Holly system is now in use at Au-
burn, in this state, and will soon be in oper-
alton at Detroit, Mich, and Springfield,
Mass. The shops of construction and depots
for supplies are located at Lockport, and
employ $50 men all the year round.

The Maine Farmer says: lone of our
substantial subscribers, in a recent CONVEX
sation, gave his experience in treating
neat stock affected with the habit
of eating wood, chewing bones,
&c His cattle were one spring affected in
this way; they became thin in flesh, re-
fused to eat hay, and presented a
sickly appearance. He put about four
bushels of leached ashes in his
barnyard and threw out to them about
a shoveful each day. They all ate 1T
with evident relish. After turning
them out to pasture, he put one peck
Of dry ashes per week on the ground
in the pasture. They ate It all up and
gnawed off the grass where 1t had been
lying. The cattle began to improve, gain
ing flesh and looking better than they
had for several years. He now

GREAT TEMPESTS.
The Mysterious Lights in the Gulf of
ST. Lawrence.

ST. Lawrence.
The mysterious lights in the gulf and
the lower st. Lawrence, which are firmly
believed by the fishermen to be a warning
of great tempests, have, according to the
Montreal Herald, been unusually brilliant
this season. 1t is said to be fact, estab-
lished by the experience of a century, that
when these lights blaze brightly in the sum-
mer nights, the fall is invariably marked by
great storms. They give the appearance to
spectators on the shore of a ship on fire.
The heavens behind are bright and the
clouds above silvered by the reflection. The
sea for half a mile is covered with
sheen, as OF phosphorus. The fire itself
seems TO consist of blue and yellow flames.

Their out, and Is pursued in vain. The lights
are plainly visible from the shore from mid
night until o'clock in the morning. They
appear to come from the sea shoreward and
at dawn retire gradually, and are lost in the
morning mist. Paradis, the French pilot,
who took charge of the British feet under
Admiral Sir November Walker when it sailed
up the st. Lawrence from Boston to Quebec
in ISL, declared be saw one OF those lights
before that armada was shattered by
a dreadful gale on the Odd of August The
light he said, danced before his vessel all
the way up the gulf. Every great wreck that
has taken place since Sir November Walkers
calamity has been preceded, if tradition is
to be believed, by these mysterious lights
or rather they have warned the mariner of
the fatal storm. When the gulf gives up its
dead there will be vast muster. In 1897
the French war ship La Tribune was lost
with 500 souls. In 1905 the British trans
port Naoas went down with 500. In 1881
the emigrant ship Lady Sherbrooke, from
Derby to Quebec. was lost, only 80 out
of 273 passengers being saved. In lS47 near
ly 800 Irish emigrants were lost with the
brig Carrick, and 240 more on the Exmouth.
By the wreck of the Hungarian 225 souls
persisted February 49, 1860; 35 by the loss of
the Canadian June 4 and 237 when the
Anglo Saxon was lost off Cape Race on the
9th of April, 1868. Fishing boats and coast
ers innumerable have also gone down with
all hands, leaving no sign. This fall. il the
lights are to believed and the gulf fisher
men say they can not lie, storms of unex-
ampled ferceness will rage from the
autumnal equinox until the winter is past.

If the presidential election goes to the
house of representatives in 1881, the consti-
tuition declares "a majority of all the states
shall be necessary to a choice" The result
of the congressional elections is that the
democrats have secured an undoubted ma
jarity in the delegation of 10 states. There
is some doubt about the Nevada member,
but we Judge that the republican is elected.
Conceding them the state, the republicans
have majority in the delegations of IS
states, and California, by special act of con-
gress, will elect her members next year. In

the democrats will have 20 states and a ma

can, the states will be tied; that is, each
party will have 10 states, and there can be
no choice by the house. In that event the
constitution provides the vice president shall
become president; but as the probabilities
are almost certain that If there is no election
of president by the people, neither will there
be an election of vice president, the latter
will be chosen by the senate from the two
highest numbers on the electoral list. The
vice president so elected will become presi-
dent on the failure of the house to elect.
II the democratic party carries majority

there is no choioe) it will not again lose the
presidency. If no party has q majority of
the electoral votes the senate will elect the
president, and the senate will be democratic
after the 4th of March next, democratic
majority being already elected.
The election IN California, however, next
year will be OF great interest, because it
will determine the election of president
democratic. If it goes republican it
will send the election to the senate.
There will be struggle for the state to cover
accidents. In 1876 the republicans elected
three members-one of whom lost his
seat in contest, by majority of one vote
and the democrats one member, making
the delegation In the present house stand
two and two. The state is close and doubt
full.
IL is among the possibilities or probabili-
ties that the candidate voted for by the DEM
ocrats for vice president in 1881 may become
president after the 4th Of March, 1881.

COTTON TENDENCIES.

i.'atures Of the cotton business
Of this port. during the late
commercial year, was the de-
cline i'm the overland move
,nent to Northern and Atlan-
tic ports, and the large in
crease in the receipts at New
Orleans. Three considera~
tons were at the bottom Of
this favorable inclination CT

al and intelligent management
Of the Chicas O, ST. Louis and

controlled a large amount Of
cotton from Memphis and 9th
CIR points in Tennessee, the
improved faculties for receiv-
ing and shipping country
compressed bales by reason of
the Belt Railroad which per-
mi,ted deliveries from the cars
directly to the slips in the
harbor, and the great i'm
provements made in the com
pressing machinery at our va
rious cotton yards. The gross
receipts last year were 1884,
CTS bales against 1885, lj5
bales the previous season, the
net receipts being ,39l $50
bales against l,19O. 3S6 bales
the previous season.
No doubt other considera-
tons also operate favorably to
produce this result. Here
better prices were obtained
because cotton forwarded from
this port was in better repute
than that forwarded from 9TH
er ports, and as natural se~
qucnce New Orleans furnished
more cotton buyers and more
and better cotton tonnage than
could be found at any Other
southern port.

the basis for saying that like

results this year, and to urge
upon persons interested in the
