Soaking Seed Corn.

A correspondent of an exchange has
tried soaking seed corn in a solution of
chloride of lime, and says of it: "By
soaking seed corn for seven hours in a
very strong decoction of chloride OF
lime, corn can be forced ahead to ma
turity two or three weeks one than
it will mature otherwise. The lime
warns up the germ Of the seed, and
sends ii up quietly, giving it two or
three weeks the start of corn planted
ia the ordinary ways, thereby %ins"ring
against frost at the close of the sea-

Facts about the city Of London are
always interesting, and we find a few
in the Cornhill Magazine. I.oudon is
spread over about 700 square miles.
There is one death there every six
minutes, and one birth about every
four. The growth of the population is
about $4,000 a year, or 2o5 Il day. The
total length of the streets in London is
about 1000 square miles; there are
built every year about 5000 new hOus-
es, by which the length of the streets
is increased twenty-eight miles. In
the iails there is an average of $4,000
prisoners. The foreign born residents
OF London number about I00, 900; but
81 per cent. of the whole population
were born out Of the city.

Soldiers In the south.

The Democratic party in Congress
pretend to be afraid of the soldiers In
the South. They say the soldiers will
not let them vote. The following is
She number Of soldiers in the South
Georgia, 90; Florida, 100; Tennessee,
Mississippi, 1875; South Carolina,

1t ia really fearful to contemplate that
amount OF soldiers; nearly one TO ev-
cry county. Now suppose that one
fellow should spread himself over a
whole county and keep that whole
county from voting, that whole county
would be a set of fools.

The Louisiana Sugar Cron.

The New Orleans Democrat, May 9th,
says: "The outlook of the sugar crop
Of 1879 may be considered fair, though
it is hardly possible that this crop will
comc near the figures of the amount
made in 1873. In the upper portion of
the sugar district both stubble and
seed zane were severely injured by the
freezes which occurred last Janury.
There has been n reduced average in
the planting of cane generally through
out the State, az compared with last
years planting. In many of the sugar
parishes where the stubble was unin-
jured last winter it has been late IL.
coming out. While the crop is gener-
ally backward, 1t Is further advanced
than was the crop in 1877 at this time"

what n Democrat Thinks of IL.

The Bolivar (Tenn.) Bulletin, in alate
issue says: "The difficulty in obtain
ing relief is to be found in the fact that
our Federal Representatives are COLI
irolled by an inscriptions minority of
Northern Democrats who are as bitter
~ opposed to financial relief measures
rs the most stubborn Republicans. The
Northern Democrats and Northern Re-
publlcans are rs man when finance
Is discussed in Congress. They stand
together, and the South Is hidden TO
hush and be still or nc appropriations
for internal improvements in the South
will be allowed. Thus matters go, and
to preserve party unity the meat and
bread interests Of the Southern and
Western people rs wrapped up in the
question Of financial relief, arc ignored
by the very men who were elected to
promote the interests of their constitu-
cnts. Such a policy is d%isintegrating
the Soutern Democracy. 1t must cease
or tho G%rcenback party will weaken

that would overthrow L.. Tie di.crinl-
lnation has never been attempted Ia
any previous legislation and isno more
compatible with sound principles Of
the Constitution or the necessary max
inns and methods Of our system Of Gov
crnment on occasions of elections Than
at other times. In the early legisla-
iion Of 1902 and 1875, by which the
MALTA Of the States was the only mill
tary power resortcd TO for the execu-
ticn Of the constitutional powers In
support Of State or National authority,
| both functions of the Government were
put upon the same footing. BY the act
OF 1907 the employment of an army and
navy wa authorized for the perform
ance of both constitutional duties in
the same terms. In all later statutes
on the same subject, matter of the same
measure of authority to the Govern
nlent has been accorded for the perfor-
nance of both these duties. No prece-
dent has been found in any previous
legislation, and no sufficient reason has
been given for discrimination in favor
of State and against National authority
which this bill contains. Under the
sweeping terms Of the bill the Nation
al Government is enectually shut out
from the exercise Of the right, and
fl Um the discharge of imperative duty
to use its whole Executive power when
ever or wherever required for the en-
forcement of its laws, and the place
and time where and when its elections
are to be held, when organized and
armed forces for any such purposes
| would be an ofiense against the law,
unless called for by, and, therefore,
upon permission of the authorities of
the State in which the occasion arises.
What is this but the substitution Of
discretion of the State governments for
the discretion of the Government OF
the United States as to tho performance
of its own duties? In my judgment
this Is an abandonment of its obliga-
tons by the National Government, a
| suhordination Of National authority
and an intrusion of State supervision
over National duties which amounts in
spirit and tendency to State supremacy.
Though | believe that the existing
statutes are abundantly adequate to
completely prevent military inierfer-
ence with the elections, in the sense in
which the phrase is used in the title of
this bill, and is employed by the peo-
pie of this country, | shall find 10 diff
| ficulty in %concurring in any addi-
tional legislation limited to that OBJ
ject, which does not interfere with the
indispensable exercise of the powers of
the Government under the Colstitu-
ton and laws.

The Marvellous Growth Of

year, SIS; during the twelve months
ending June 80, 1878, 81; while
during the first eight months Of the
current fiscal year 113 new Offices
were established, and the average
during April was n a day. During
the fiscal year of 1876 the amount of
land taken by srttlers was $500
acres, in 1877, 706,433; ii 1878,
1,711,571, while in the first nine
months of the present yeai there
were taken 2,275,S20 acres, and if
the demand keeps up in the same
proportion the next three months
oyer three million acres viii have
been pre-empted during the twelve
months ending with next June. AS
