quiet by advancing him the amount
necessary to cover the deficiency,
but the fact has, nevertheless. Leak

SOME OF our Democratic contem-

over the query of "Who will be left
for Republican leader in the House
when Garfield is made Senator 2"
They should loose no sleep. As
General Ogleshy would say, "Some
fellow from the swamps of Indiana
or the woods of Wisconsin will
suddenly appear, tuck his trousers
in his boots,' and pile up Democrats
right and left.

SO@ing Oats and Wheat toge,her.
Tho experiment has been tried 10
Iowa Of sowing in tho fail, upon one
acre ofland, two bushels of wboat
mixcd with one bushel Of oats. The
oats shot up rapidly, and were Of
course killed down by the frost. But
they furnished warm covering for
the earth. and when the snow fell
among the thick stalks aud leaves
they kept II from blowing away.
This covering prevented the winter
killing of the wheat, and the rotting
oat leaves and stalks afforded q rich
topdressing for the crop the following
spring. The result was an abundant
yield OF wheat, while land precisely
similar alongside Of it, and treated 10
tho same mannor, with the exception
Of omittiog tho oats, was utterly
worthless.

Cure for Rheumat ism-A Ger.
man physician states celery, in a
cooked state, is certain cure for rhcu
matism. II should b, cut up 10
small pieces and boiled in water un-
til 1t becomes soft, and the water
drank by the patient. The 5 oft cell
cry should then be cooked with some
fresh milk, moal and nutmeg, served
up with toast, and eaton with pota-
toes, aud tho pain will immediately
cease. The physician says that he
has repeatedly employed this remedy,
and always with success Ho at
tributes the origin of rheumatism to
an calculated state the blood, and
not to cold or humidity. When Il is
rendered alkaline. neither gout nor
rheumatism can occur. Euglish
statistics show that in one year, 1876.
$3.50 persons died Of rheumatism.
At least two-thirds Of the complaints
known under the general name of
heart disease are to be ascribed to
rheumatism, aud its painful ally, the
gout. M

Grass as a Rcnoyator.-M Many
farmers labor for years ignorant OF
tho fact iua: close, well-set sod is
the foundation Of good iaiGing and
the basis Of good crops, Soil that
will produce nm immediate aud firm
set Of grass will bring q good crop OF
any kind. There is no better way
to test the producing capacity of soil
than by its grass production. Ifa
field yields a scant grass crop, and is
Uneven or full Of barren spots, it will
not be safe to depend on such soil for
any other crop without extra heavy
mauuring, aud oven then the crop is
not Of so great certainty as If the
ground was covered with a firm sod
at plowing time. There is something
in o heavy sod that will perfect u

1t grass can DO densely set on the

farmer as to allow naturally good
soil to deteriorate a. all, and when
farmers understand and net on this
principal, our productions will never
fall below an average, or even to

Nature seems to require that to
keep up tho fertility, all soils must
have covering Of vegetable growth
In some form, aud we will act wisely
to follow and assist nature TO this
end. Even soil tha, is rich or very
rich in plant food. will get poor by
remaining destitute Of vegetable

made very rich by market gardeners,
during q short period waiting for q
special crop, become covered with
minute plant growth or vegetable
covering! Hence chick-weed, q

Rest, We brave men, where ERE you be.
Your valor won our victory.
Green be the grass that covers your graves,
Where the stars and stripes in triumph now
wave.
Praised by patriotic men,
Orators tongue and poets pen
| Hallowcd forever your name shall be,
| In the land OF Columbia, the home of the
free.
we weep, but our tears cannot number the
Werejoice fortbe glory around them that's
shed;
We honor the flag that floats DER US to-day;
We weep for the blue, we have wept for
the gray
The war drum is muffled and echoes
no more;
The buglc's loud blast or the cannon's
dull roar;
The white dove OF peace the olive branch
brings,
And glad notes of joy through our coun-
try now rings
The North and the South, united at last,
Stand claspng their hands DER the graves
Of the past.
May the uond of our union be lasting and
true,
As the flag that we honor, the Red, White
and Blue
From the frozen north, with its ice and
snow,
To the fragrant south, where the spice
breeze blow,
There waves our flag from spire and dome,
And watts its wide welcome to freedom
and home.
No star is yet dim, no stripe is obscure,
You gallant old flag which had much to
endure;
But proudly it floats, the Red, White and
Blue,
The flag Of the free, the brave and the
true.
Like star it has cleaned on the battle
SCARED plain;
Like bark to the mariner tost on the
main;
On wars red field 1t has rose and FELL
Torn By shot and rent by shell;
1t has cheered the heart of our noble and
brave;
1t has wrapped their forms for the silent
grave.
Now proudly 1t waves DER land and o'er
The emblem of liberty, the flag of the free.
When the crown OF the prince Is crumbled
to dust
And the sword Of the tyrant is covered
with rust
When the circle of bays of the warrior is
dim,
And the palms that he carried have persisted
like him,
Will our liberty stand unbroken and true,
And point to the old flag, the Red, White
and Blue
From the rocky coast to the fertile plain,
Where waves our fields OF golden grain,
North, south, east and west
Our country by our God is blessed
With mines OF silver, mines of gold,
Richer by far than worlds OF old,
With widespread arms she bids you come
On freedoms breast to find home
Alike you are welcome from every land;
Your bark you may moor on American
strand
Freedom we give, for no tyrant nor slave
Shall live in the home of the free and the
brave.
Our star y flag now floats more wide,
The emblem OF freedom, a nations pride.
Mountains and wales and rocks around,
Give back to Us the welcome sound
OF liberty fqrcver
And now rs we stand in this great western
land,
With valleys Of yerdurc, and mount caps
of snow,
Our strains We'll prolong in liberty's song
THREE cheers for our country, our loved
Idaho.
