HINTS ABOUT HENs.--The hen by ma
ture requires a mixed diet, animal and
vegetable. She feeds upon insects,
grain and other seeds Of plants, and the
green plant itself. She will run after a
grasshopper, pull up ground worm,
and fight, II needs be, for the choice
morsel. Nature asserts herself here
and Enthusiastically. She induces the hen
to forage In our fields and gardens, and
makes her scavcnger around our
dwellings. 1t is an advantage to the
farmer to have his premises cleared Of
insects and other detrimental animal
and vegetable material. Occasional
forays should therefore be permitted,
so timed and arranged thar harm to the
crops may be avoided, and little harm
will result during the spring and sum-
mer until the grain begins to ripen,
when less freedom mot entire restraint)
should be allowed. After that, during
the fall, full liberty may be given TO
hens in general, particularly to the more
active breeds; less 30 with the Asiatics
and some others. The principle is q

The placing of Sir Garnett Wolseley in SUI
preme civil and military command Of Natal
and the Transvaal means the retirement Of
Lord Chelmsford from the direction of the
Zulu war, In which he has been so unfortu-
nate. Sir Garnett Wolseley, who at the time
of his recent appointment was Governor Of
Cyprus, is one Of the most distinguished Off
GERS In the British army. He has already
seen much service In Africa, and was In COM
mand of the British forces in their brilliant
campaign against the Ashantees. The Iulus
will find In him foeman whom they may
well fear. The change is rather hardship
upon Lord Chelmsford, it must be admitted.
To be relieved just as he has received ade-
auate forces with which to make q successful
termination to the war is not altogether fair.
An unsuccessful General receives little sym
pathy from governments, and the English
commander in Natal proves to be no excep-
ton to the rule.

RUMORS OF DETECTION.

From our Washington special this morning
it would appear that the Democratic unity In
Congress Is seriously endangered by the
threatened detection Of q number OF Southern
members. A more grievous disaster to the
party at this particular time, when salvation
lies in the solid front we shall present to the
opposition, could not be conceived OF, and
we can only hope that the danger is not SO
great as represented by our correspondent.
The story, as reported by him, Is that, I'm
der the seductions Of the notorious Thomas
j. Mackey. of South Carolina, not less than
five congressman from the South have been
induced to abandon the party and ally them
selves with the Republicans and Greenback-
ers In passing the several appropriation bills,
and thus bringing about solution of the mo-
mentous issues now pending in Congress.
The names Of these members, as given by our
correspondent, are Tillman, Evins and
O'Connor, Of South Carolina and FELTON, and
Speer, of Georgia. Aleck Stephens is also
charged with being In sympathy with this
effort to disintegrate the party and introduce
treason and detection In its ranks. This i'm
putation, however. we are glad to say, Is not
substantiated by any reliable testimony
There can be no question but that the posi-
ton Of the Democratic party In Congress at
this time is most critical one, and that moth
ing else than the wisest counsel, the greatest
ciNl courage and the most perfect unity Of
action can rescue 1t from fatal disaster. What
ever course the Democratic caucus may
determine upon must secure the Coop
Grafton Of every member of the party
in order to insure Its success and
avert the most disastrous and disgraceful
failure. Under such circumstances there can
be but one judgment throughout the whole
South upon the man who shall fail his party
and his people at this critical juncture. 1t
will require four men to consummate this
conspiracy, as Congress is now organized
Can so many men be found In the South who
| are willing to sell themselves and betray
their party for the poor pot-herbs that Hayes

President seems to ehuekle with delight as II
he had found some flaw In the position Oh che
Democrats. 1t is fruitless, perhaps. and Ger
tainly needless to answer that the Republican
party having precipitated this question OF the
use OF troops at elections, having asserted
their right and intention to use troops at the
polls, 1t becomes the duty of the Democrats to
vindieate the constitution ut once. The bat

IMPERsONAL JOURNALISM.

The Times and the Picay,r,e having each
announced the measure of responsibility they
are willing, respectively, to assume for their
editorial utterances, 1t is perhaps quite In
order for the DEMOCRAT to define its views
upon this subject, inasmuch as the DEMOCRAT
declared itself to be "impersonal' in a recent
salutatory.
By this declaration we intended to be UNDER
stood as having earnestly engaged In the
work Of building up d live newspaper, devoted
to the advancement of the material interests
of the Southwest and, believing that all Of
these interests could be best promoted by and
through the Democratic party, weshall labor
zealously for the success of Democratic prin-
ciples.
This paper will not be used tosbuild up or
pull down any individual In party sense, but
will rest it's claim to popular favor upon the
impartiality and justice of its columns.
We do not know Of any reason why public
Journalists should not dwell in peace and
unity together. practicing the same amenities
and courtesies that characterize other bust
ness calIings, and the DEMOCRAT will be
prompt to recognize such disposition from
any respectable source But we do not forget
that even in business circles impostors and
hypocrites, under false colors, tax the de-
fensive ingenuity of the mercantile world.
Merchants protect themselves In showing
up cheats by a system of mercantile reports
The press is to the people what these mer-
camille directories are to commerce.; there
fore, when the DEMOCRAT discovers impost-
ors in journalism, or in OTHER walks of life, 1t
will expose them In order that their teach
ings and their acts may not harm the people.
Should the DEMOCRAT Inadvertently wrong
a journal or an Individual, however humble,
nothing shall stay the reparation, and in this
respect the proprietors Of the DEMOCRAT are
unable to ''disassociate' their responsibility
as journalists from the obligation resting
upon gentlemen.

Three vetoes at one session, and that an ex-
ira session. Hayes will undoubtedly gain for
himself the name of "the vetoing President"
No wonder the New York Tribune grows
alarmed for him and declares that the Demo-
cratic policy is to cover him with infamy in
the popular mind by forcing him to veto
many meas ures. There was q king once the
autocratc ruler over a grand empire, who
made sin lar reputation for himself, and
who won for his wife the title Of Madame
Veto" but he overstepped the bounds at last,
helped to develop revolution and lost his
own head in the troubles he brought upon his
country by following the advice of unwise
friends. Mr. Hayes is not likely to prove
Louis XIV. 1t Is greatly to be feared, how
ever, that the Democrats will succeed In the
conspiracy the Tribune accuses them of-an
attempt to cover Hayes name with infamy.

great many Jokes have been pOked at the
three South American republics just now at
war with each other, but they will have to
cease. Indeed, the preparations made by
these powers for war, aud the beginning of
the war itself, were ridiculous enough to
make anybody jocular. There were more
officers In these republican armies than pri-
Yates; at least one full-fledged general to
every squad of men. When real fighting
began it did not tend to increase our respect
for the combatants. There were q half a
dozen fights by sea and land, two or three
towns stormed and bombarded, without any
body being the worse for It, But later news
from South America acquaints us with q
naval fight at Iquique, which shows that
these South Americans are as pluckys lighters
as can be anywhere found. Two CHILEAN
wooden vessels, the Esmeralda and Canaan

armed vessels in the Pacific 1t was fight
worthy of the cats Of Kilkenny. All three OF
the vessels went down together, and. we are
naturally led to suppose, with most OF their
men aboard. In fine, the first naval fight of
the war is a most brilliant combat, worthy Of
the days of Nayarno and Trafalgar. If the
war, however, goes on in this way it cannot
last much longer, as the navies OF Peru and
Chill are decidedly too slim to stand many
losses of this kind.
The fight, as far as we can Judge. is vic
tory for Chill, although she lost two vessels
to perus one. The Independence was the
strongest vessel in the Peruvian navy The
