Recent dispatches say that the native
armies forming in Bulgaria and Rou-
mclix are under Russian officers and
equipped with Russian arms. Russia
has been, like Morphy, playing several
games of chess ut once, and promises to
beat her opponents. Her consent to
the Berlin Congress was to gain time
She now has an army south of the Bal
kans in Europe and has stirred up trou-
ble in Afghanistan which will draw OFT
part of the British army in that direc-
tion. She was too wise to let t1fe bat

where western Europe has always come

OUR POSITION
Neighbor Miller of the ADVANCE is
Il follower of ''strange Gods,'' having
hOisted the Greenback standard and
assumed the championship of Green
back principles at the colony hub
Rock County Herald.
Tile ADVANCE has not hoisted the
standard of any party. The ADVANCE
is an independent paper. The AID
VANCE, as Il choice between the two
old parties, prefers very much the Re-
publican. The ADVANCE, however,
with thousands OF. others who love the
old party for the good it has done, be-
]ieves that the financial policy of the
Republican party is wrong, is in the
interest of the gold spectators and
has we'll niz IL ruined the business OF
the country. III this, we are with the
lnter-Ocean, the leading Republican
paper Of Chicago, with scores Of other
Republican papers, and with thousands
Of st;,lwart Republicans.
If we can reform the Republican by
remaining in it, there we rsmain. II
we cannot do so without going out OF
it, we go out. The ADVANCE has
steadily declared for year past tha,
the National party was coming up tt
take control of the country. n thir(
party is demanded in the interest o
the people, and that third party will b'
the National. Should it triumph, i
will end the political fucds at th'
South which grew out of slavery ant
will satisfy the labor element Of th
North, on whom our Republican lead
ers have gone back.

Musical Accent.

At a trial in the court of Kings Bench,
June, 1888, between certain Tweededees,
as to an alleged piracy of an arrangement
of "The Old English Gentleman" T. Cooke
was subpenaed as witness.
On cross examination by Sir James Scar
lett, that learned counsel rather flippantly
said "Now, sir, you say the two melodies
are the same, but different. What do you
mean, sir ~
"Tom promptly answered 81 said the
notes in the two copies were alike, but
with different accent"
Sir James-"What is musical ac-
cent 2"
Cooke-"My terms are guinea lesson
SIR" CA loud laugh.)
Sir James, (rather rutfled, y" Don't
mind your terms here ! ask you what is
musical accent? Can you see it ?"
Cooke-"No."
Sir James-"Can you feel it 2"
Cooke" A musician can" Great
laughter.)
Sir James VERY angrilyD -"Now pray,
sir, don't beat about the bush, but tell his
Lordship and the jury the meaning of what
you call accent"
Cooke-"AcCent in music is q stress laid
on peculiar note, as you would lay a
stress on any given word, for the purpose
of being better understood. If l were to
say you are an ass, it rests on ass but were
to say gov are an ass, it rests on you, Sir
James.
"Reiterated shouts of laughter by the
whole court, in which the bench joined,
followed this repartee. Silence being OBJ
tanned, Lord Denman, the Judge, with
much gravity, accosted the chap fallen
counsel-"Are you satisfied, Sir James ?"
Sir James, deep red as he naturally was,
had become scarlet in more than name, and
in great huff said, 1.-THE witness may go

Farm Notes.

Orchard grass Kentucky blue grass,
and white clover, and, if the ground is low
or moist add red top, and you will have
the finest and best productive pasture
known among extensive stock, growers, as
it requires no reseeding, but improves in
quantity or quality, carrying more stock
each year, invaluable for woods or pastures,
and should be extensively sown in burnt
forests. Leaving out the orchard grass Gas
it is too rank and rapid grower) you
have the best mixture that can be formed
for lawns yards, etc.
Lime may usually be applied to an
orchard with benefit once in three or four
wears. 1t can scarcely be considered as a
fertilizer in itself, but it hastens the de-
composition of materials already in the soil,
thereby assisting in preparing them as a
pabulum for growing plants. From ten to
twenty five bushels of lime per acre, ac
cordiDg to its strength, would be sufficient.
withdrawing the stems of apple trees is
practiced for the purpose of destroying the
moss upon the bark, also the eggs of insects
which are often deposited in the cracks
and on the smooth surface. A good coat of
whitewash will also prevent certain kind
of insects from laying their eggs on the
bark of fruit trees, hence is generally con-
sidered beneficial.
Grape vines should always be pruned
in the early winter, as bad weather, or press
of other work may intefere in early spring.
AS each vine will be required to be pruned
according to its condition, no general rules
can be given. The canes that grew the
past season, will not bear fruit again. The
| buds upon these canes will next spring
form shoots upon which the fruit will be
borne. The primer should be able to see
what the vines will be, to decide where he
wishes fruit-bearing shoots, and must leave
buds to produce them, cutting away all the
other buds, or the canes which bear them.
AS this will remove large share of the
wood that the vine has made during the
past season, the novice is timid, and fears
that he is doing wrong, but in most cases
the danger is in leaving rather, than in re-
| moving too much.
