young man named Morrison who was excluded
from registration because, although he was
born within two rods OF Plymouth Rock, his
parents were born abroad. He was compelled
to get out naturalization papers. and showed
general criticism, as they recited that the per-

that the party should have the papers Cancelled,

Raising Turnips.

We are going to cut the clover on
part of a field and then pillow under
good coat of manure for crop of
Swedish turnips. We shall sow
broadcast over the patch, blood
guano at the rate of 800 pounds per
acre and put the seeds in drills
made by hand, with hoe. an inch
deep, and cover the seeds with a
hoe at the same uniform depth.
Three quarters of q pound of seeds
is enough for an acre. The first
week in July is the time set to put
in the Swedes but it would do to
put in crop as late as the middle.
We have old turnips now on hand
hard and good tor table use. This
crop will require but one hoeing,
and can be utilized to feed pigs,
sheep and cattle. The tops are
worth q great deal TO keep up the
flow of milk IN tho late fall. The
ground must be plowed deep and
made mellow. We shall soak the
seed at least three days sefore plant
ing and then roll them in plaster
and cover them as fast as dropped.
This will make gain in the
time OF coming up and get the ,ur-
nips just so much ahead of the
weeds which will help in the care OF
them The drills will be on ridge
made By turning two shallow fur,
rows together --Rurdl Ne,c Yorker.

place fernery. II is very simple and cheaply
made, and yet one of the handsomest decora-
tons for parlor, sitting-room or dining
room. A box, about three or four inches
deep and fitted perfectly to the fire place TO
present the appearance of being portion of
the mantle, is made OF common wood, lined
with tin or zinc so as not to leak, and then
painted in any color that will best accord
with the color Of the mantle. If the mantle
is white marble, the box is more effective
when black. A very simple and inexpensive
method of initiating ebony is TO blacken the
box with burnt wood and then coat it with
black varnish, which must be well applied
so as to produce good polish. All COM
munication with the chimney should be well
shut of, and the back of the fire. place cover
ed with panel-paper, which may portray a
'sdeep and gloomy wood. a cleaner, stark
Cupid IN bower of roses, or any scenery
preferred. The box is then furnished with
rich soil, and well filled. but not crowded,
with ferns surrounded by moss and if the
fireplace is very large, mosscovered rocks
may be Used with charming effect for filling
IN. In this event, the ferns should be planted
between the rocks and the more natural the
arrangement, the handsomer the result.
Every particle OF earth should be covered
with moss, and an ivy placed in each end OF
the box should be carefully trained along the
fireplace to simulate bower. The roots and
foliage Of the plants should be well watered
every day, as ferns require great deal OF
moisture.
This arrangement makes an exceedingly
handsome fireplace ornament, and so long as
careful attention is bestowed upon it, the
fernery will keep nice and green and will
continually be improving in appearance. A
fancy mat of some kind, placed in front ofthe
fernery, will heighten the pretty effect of the
Dom so decorated.

The Christening Platform.

Tho first State Convention OF
Republicans OF Wisconsin was held
at Madison, July 18th, 1854. II
was mass convention, attended by
respectable aud very intelligent
men from all sections of tho State.
The object was to form a new par
ty. The Know Nothing party was
thon in its prime. 10 some States
east and south the Know Nothines
had successful tickets. The Con.
veutiOn at Madison adopt d this
platform given below, inviting call
persons whether of native or for
eign birth" to unto with them, and,
as will be seen, took 90 themselves
the name Republican. The party
grew rapidly and in six years be-
came the successful party of the
nation. The Republicans will next
Wednesday meet to talk over the
battles of twenty-five years, when
the following platform on which
their faith was first founded will
again become familiar;
Resolrcd, That the repeated aud long con-
tinued encroachments Of the slave power.
eliminating at last in the repeal of the law OF
freedom in all the hitherto unorganzed ter,
rtory of the Union, forces upon us the con.
yiction that there is no escape from the al
Tentative OF freedom or slavery, as political
issue, which Is to determine whether the flu
ture administration Of the government Is 10
be devoted 20 the one or the other.
ReSolred, That we accept this issue, forced
upon us by the slave power. and in the de.
Tense of freedom will cooperate and be
known as Repu6iiedns, pledged to the accom-
plishment OF the following purposes:
To bring the administration of the govern
nent back to the control of first principles
To restore Nebraska and Kansas TO the
position Of free territories
To the repeal and entire abrogation of the
Fugitive Slave Act.
To restrict slavery TO the States In which
Il exists.
To prohibit the admission Of any more
hlaNe states into the Union.
To exclude slavery from the territories
over which the general government has en-
elusive jurisdiction. Aud to resist the a,.
QUESTION of any more territory, unless ,he
prohibition Of slavery therein forever shall
have been provided for.
Resolued, That in furtherance of those pur-
poses we will use such constitutional End
lawful means as shall seem best adapted TO
their accomplishment; and that we will sup>
port no man for Office under the general or
state governments, who is not positively and
fully committed to the support Of these prin-
ciples, and whose personal character and
conduct is not guaranty that he is reliable.
ReSoired, That we cordially invite all per-
sons, whether Of native or foreign birth, vino
are in favor Of the objects expressed in the
above resolutions to unite with us in carry-
Ing them into effect.
