A gentleman who has had some exper-
fence at embarrassing writes to the Maine
Farmer that he levelled off place twenty
feet square, where COW had been yarded,
and spread on it bushel or more of wood
ashes and mixed them in with hoe and
rake. He planted in rows ten inches
apart, and in hills about one-half that dis
tancs, pressing it hard with board upon
which he stood. When the onions came
up he gave them good supply Of water
that had been made tepid from standing
in the sun, and that was well saturated
with new manure. The result was twenty
bushels of fine onions and no bugs ol
worms. Onions should be planted only.

PRESERVING EGGS FOR WINTER.-Put the
eggs into large pail and pour boiling hot
water over them, then put a cover over
them and count sixty very slowly. Take
them out, wipe dry with thin towel, and
pack with little end down in buckwheat-
hulls, oats or bran. Put in place where
neither frost nor damp can touch them,
and they will keep for months. The boil
ing water shuts up the pores of the egg
shells, and keeps them fresh, while it does
not cook them. Another way is to rub
each egg over with linseed oil, put on with
a cloth. Lay them on table to dry, and
then pack away tightly. Lime-wat0r and
salt will also keep eggs, but they are moi
so well kept as by these other methods, az
they absorb the salt, and the white loses it,
freshness, and will not beat to froth ol
give lightness to cake.

Is CLOVER FERTILIzER-The following
may throw some light on the subject,
About twenty years since man obtained
by lease large tract of land for a term Of
years, most of which was worn out and
exhausted rye land. One field of ten acres
was sown with rye when he took it. The
lessee gave it coat of ashes and good
sprinking of clover seed. The rye yielded
six bushels per acre; it was SO thin that
the clover had sufficient room to grow.
The next season the clover covered the
ground completely and was allowed to re-
main on the ground the entire season. In
the spring Of the second year the whole was
plowed in and the field planted with corn,
which yielded forty.seven bushels per acre,
and it has remained fertile field to the
present time and is very valuable land

A Talk VIII General Hancock.

The general led the conversation
himself, which soon brought up the
subject of Zamzona and his mission.
/" [ think" saidhe general, that this
Mexican is a we man. Nothing could
be better for tt peace and prosperity
of both republi than just such things
as his mission. If it will lead to the
opening up of lie immense territory
lying in the nor of Mexico. there will
be market deloped that will be an
excellent tributy to our commerce.
At the same timthis sort of thing will
lessen the Ame:an land hunger-we
will not be so apo want to strip Mexi-
co in any futurelifferences with that

"What are Il changes for a settled
government in Nxico now?"
"Diaz, the prelent, is a soldier, and
can control the pple with a good gov
eminent. Wheer he will nave sue
cessor as capables himself is an open
question. Mexi is a country that is
trying to wear ready-made govern
ment that was 1t intended for her.
We found a wierness, and evolved
from the old Elish constitutions an
Anglo-Saxon relblic; they found a
populous empil enslaved it, and &C.
cepted the old nglish model of gov
eminent. [ thk, though, they are
struggling iowa better things slowly

CIVIL the froier troubles cease ?"
II do not thk there will be much
trouble 10 the ture. The fact is, our
Arizona frontielas given the Mexicans
a great amoul of trouble, although
they do not cFge us with purposely

"Will the liam bureau be trans

in the administ.ion Of Indian affairs

see that the Inn affairs must suffer.

the necessary nax+ms and methods OF our sys-
TEN OF government on occasion OF elections than
81 other times. In the cary legislation of 1892
and l1sI, when the militia of the states was the
only military power resorted TO for the execution
OF constitutional powers in support cf Ibe state
national authority, bnth functions of the govern
menL were put upon the same footing. by the
act OF .eU1 the employment of the army and navy
was authorized for the performance OF both con-
stltntional cutles IN the same terms.
IN AL LATER STATUTES
on the same subject matter, some measure of au-
tnorlty 10 the government has been accorded for
the performance of born these duties. No prece-
dent has been found in any previous legislation
and no sufficient reason has been given for the
discrimination in favor of states against the ma
tionaI authority which this bill contains. Und r
the sweeping terms OF the BILL the national gov
eminent is efectualiy shut out from he exercise
OF the right and from the discharge OF the lmper-
alive duty, to use its whole executive power
whenever and wherever required for the enforce
Hleh-s OF It's laws in places and times where and
when It's elections are held. The employment
OF It's organized, armed forces for any such pull
pose "ou1d De an ofenc against the laws unless
called for by and therefore upon the permission
Oh the authorities of the state in which the occa-
sion arlses. What Is this but the substitution Of
tue discretion Of the state governments for the
discretion OF the government OF the United States
as 10 the performance of its own duties!
IN MY JUDGMENT
this is the abandonment of its obligations by the
national government, a subordination of national
autAoIiLy, an intrusion OF state supervision
over national duties, which amounts in spirit and
tendency to state supremacy.
Although believe that the existing statutes
are abundantly adequate TO completely prevent
military interference with the elections IN the
sense IN which the phrase is used in the title of
this bill and is employed by the people of this
country, l shall find no difficulty in concurring IN
any additional legislation limited to that object
which does not interfere with the 1ndispensa ne
exercise of powers Of the government and the
constitution and the laws

AGOOD SHOWING.

The Morrillton State in speaking of the success which has crowned the efforts of the managers of tie St. Joseph Colony near that place makes the following statement. It is an example which ought to be followed by other counties. Says the State:
 "1n connection with the growth of this Colony Morrilton cannot go un- mentioned Morrillton one year ago had but three houses on the south side of the railway, and to-day we count thirty one substantial struct ures, besides a good number in course of construction, and when we look upon the north side, where the most of the business houses are, we find now six to one last year. We have also q magnificent brick school edlice in course of erection. This structure is being builded by the very Rev. Father Strub, the founder of the Colony. This reverend gen tleman has in view the opening of Il school that will be classed with the best, and, possibly, the best in the State. 1t will be conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who will teach all branches from the lowest to the highest grades. The building will be an ornament to the town, aud will reflect credit, not only to the town but to the State. The archi- tectural design is of the most modern style, and being located in q beauti ful grove, it will be a most attractive building. Our Immigration Society IS worthy of note. Only three months in existence it has accom- plished much. In the western DOT tion of town q house furnished with sleeping accommodations, and cook ing apparatus, very conveniently arranged with five departments and an office for the officers of the Soci ety, stands as q monument of the result of two meetings of the Socl- ety. How does this compare with State Immigration Societies, which have been in existence for two years or more? What has any one of those societies to show2 What can they boast of but strongly framed constitutions together with some re ports of executive committees com plaining of poverty and shortness of finances? Unlike these, the Morril ton society at their first meeting re solved themselves into a committee of the whole, and subscribed and raised the funds at once, for the building of the immigrant home, and in two weeks time the carpenter was at work on the building. We con gratulate ourselves that no local lm- migration societies in any of the Southern States can make such q showing.

FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
Their Validity to Come Before the Supreme Court.--Other Lc- gal Matters.

gal Matters.
 Special to the Chicago Times.l
 BARRYMORE, September S--The ve- lidity of the United States election laws, which was the subject ol so much discussion in congress, and which formed the subject of one of President Hayes most elaborate ve- toes, is to be tested befure the United States supreme court. in the matter of the Baltimore election cases. This morning Gen. Bradley Johnson, of this city, accompanied by United States commissioner, visited the city jail and took the aiildayits of the state judges and clerks of election, who are serving out terms of impris- onment under the sentence of Judge Bond, for alleged violation of these laws, by interfering with United States supervisors and deputy mar shals. With these aflidavits and pc titions, in the cases named, Gen. Johnson left this city for the pur- pose of meeting Chief Justice Waite, of the supreme court, by appoint mcnt, at Lyme, Conn, tomorrow afternoon, when the chief justice will hear Gen. Johnson's application for writs of habeas corpus ill the cases of the prisoners. On the hear ing of the cases it is expected that the question of the constftutionality of the election laws will be passed upon by the supreme court. The argument on behalf of the prisoners will cover the whole ground as to whether congress has the right or not to pnss laws to regulate elections held by state officers under state laws, or to appoint officers to super wise the execution of duties by state officers, imposed upon them by state laws. It will be contended that the United States can only exercise the powers delcgatep to it by the con stitutionr that therefore all acts of congress, and particularly the elec- tion laws, which attempt or profess to attempt to provide for the per formance by the United States, of duties and obligations belonging to states, are unconstitutional and void.
