Two More Russians.

Mr.. A. Webster of East Roxbury, Yer
mont, sends us two more large and hand
some Russian apples of this season (Sep-
tember) in which we have so many good
and hardy apples that we are embarrassed
with riches of that sort. The first of these
is No. 2S5 OF the government list the Rus
sian name Of which, as translated, is Tur
nipy Juicy Apple" 1t is certainly juicy
but why called turnipy we don know, un
less from its shape, which is oval something
like rutabaga turnip. 1t is yellow
apple heavily streaked with red, and of 4
rather tart flavor, though not so sour as tn,
Red Astrachan. The other is No. 275
"Zolotoreff's Apple" very similar to tn,
other, but Of pleasanter favor, in fact, {
good eating apple. Mr.. Webster says they
are productive as well as snowy, and ma,
prove valuable market apples, being late
than Duchess of Oldenburgh.

The Wealthy Apple.


Each years experience increases our esti-
nation of this Minnesota contribution to
the list of hardy apples. This season the
Wealthy has fruited quite freely with us,
though we have no trees over six years old
and the early bearing, productiveness and
beauty of this fruit exceed all that has been
claimed for il by Mr.. Gideon, its originator.
But the greatest surprise is its size. 1t
being spoken of as substitute for the
Fameuse where that favorite apple fails for
lack of hardness, led us to think of it as an
apple Of about the size of the Fameuse; but
it averages twice as large. Specimens before
US measure ten inches and upwards in cir.
conference, perfectly round aud fair, and OF
brilliant red color. No apple can beat
them TO look at, and few exceed them in
quality. As an early winter apple we think
the Wealthy will not only replace Fameuse
in the colder parts, but hold its own
with that variety anywhere. Its superior
size and perfect fairness make it really
superior as market apple.

to use the words of Mr.. Lower II so, we do
not wonder 40 much at the excitement and
passion which he displays. Those needful
measures are gone already without hope,
unless they can find support in the opinions
and votes of the millions who shave not
passed beyond very moderate acquaintance
with reading and writing, probably some
what the worse for wear"
If the scientific study of the labor question,
or of finance, is in the future to give us a
basis for sound legislation, just alike to all,
We shall be very thankful. But at present
the opinions of those who are counted schol-
airs in these matters are complete babel, and
we must fall back upon the common sense
Of the people for some practical solution.
however temporary, as working expedient
In his fright DIR. Holland flies decidedly in
the wrong direction for help.
Perhaps the philosophers may help U.S.
and perhaps DIR. Holland may accept their
dicta when they reach substantial unanim-
ity, if they ever do. We would far rather
submit, as working-man, to their arbitra-
ton than refer the questions at issue, as we
think DIR. Holland would prefer to do, to the
bankers, the controllers Of great corpora
lions, the real estate and bond holders and
other wealthy people here; or to the same
classes and the landed aristocracy in Europe.
They are as much interested parties as the
working-men, and it is very doubtful If in
the exercise of unlimited power they would
be either more intelligent or more just. All
past experience shows that these classes
when in authority grind the poor down TO the
last limit of endurance. Whether Euro
pean popular government would treat the
rich with a like rigor can hardly be told.
But no man of sense has any fear that the
working people of America contemplate
anything of that kind. Under the pressure
of hard times they may call for, and even
secure the passage of some questionable
laws. But give them bread and covering
for themselves and families, and the greatest
danger is that they will, as heretofore, leave
public affairs altogether too much in the
hands of parties and "rings" interested in
getting up these very expansions and con-
fractions, flush times and panics, the only out
come of which is the consolidation of wealth
in few hands and the laying the foundations
of future ruling aristocracy broad and
strong in once free land.

Farming Politicians.

A farm is getting to be considered as
necessary an appendage to an office-seeking
career as is the stock junta of friends in
whose hands the politician "places him
SELF" and whose duty it is to work up
nomination for their principal, and then
with great difficulty to "persuade" him
to accept the same.
These political farms are usually stocked
with fancy brutes, more or less expensive
and far-fetched, according to the pecuniary
resources of the men. The whole thing is
occasionally written up with skill for some
leading agricultural paper, and copied, with
editorial reference, by all the local press.
These pleading" agricultural papers under
stand the thing so well that the insertion of
the original article usually has to be paid
for at reading notice rates but the local
papers must content themselves with the
understanding that if the game wins, and
the politician becomes congressman or a
governor, some cold victuals from the inau
gural feast shall reconpense their services
In one sense it is compliment to the
farmers that these expensive and agricultur-
ally Improbable investments are thought
necessary by those who seek their voses. 1t
compliments their influence as voting
force; but does it equally compliment their
intelligence and "gumption as citizens
On the stump and through the press these
candidating gentlemen claim to be "farm-
ers," but who ever hears of their advocating
or voting for the farming interest after
electionP When placed in positions of
power, do We not universally find them in
terested in all the jobs and voting for all the
grabs that come up? Do we not find their
names figuring as presidents or directors of
corporations, which, to say the least, care
very little for farming interests, except as
we care for the interests of our cows and
sheep-to milk and shear them for our own
profit?
1t is certainly ingenious in the highest de-
gree thus to head off genuine representa-
tives of agriculture from the political arena.
The politicians claim that he, too, ais a
farmer" ought, however, to be taken at its
real value, and it will be so taken by an intel
ligent and thoughtful constituency. Plow-
ing thus with the agricultural heifer may
win, and often does win for time; but the
people, we are glad to believe, are beginning
to see through it-and they were blind in
deed not to be able to see through a thing so
very, very thin.

A PrOnhetic Fraud.

vennor, the Canadian weather quack,
says "The approaching winter of lS79-s0,
though still distant, looked at through the
weather-glass of past experience, appears
formidable. There are well-defned indica-
tons Of severity and lengthy duration when
it does set in, but the outline presented to me
just now depicts the heaviest snow falls as
characterizing chiefly the latter half and
end of the winter. Further, it Is probable
that severe storm will set in abruptly
toward the middle Of November and con.
tinue through portion Of December, but
with scant snow-falls."

" My Spare Moments"

A poor country lad came one morning to
the door of the head-master of a celebrated
school, and asked TO see him. The servant
eyed his mean clothes, and thinking he
looked more like beggar than anything
else, told him to go round to the kitchen.
The boy did as he was desired, and soon APP
peared at the back door.

"You want breakfast, most likely" said

to see Mr.. -, if he can see me-
"Some old clothes, maybe you want" re-

boy, after eating his bread and butter.

way 1t turned out as possible. 1.-THE second
cold snap will arrive toward the latter part
of November or early portion Of December,

Memorial day;
Do we weep for the heroes who died for
us?
Who living were true and tried for US,
And in death sleep SHE by side for US,
With the blood that poured in tide for
us2
All. fearless in many a day for US
They stood in front of the fray for US,
And held the foeman at bay for US,
Fresh tears shall fall
Forever DER all
Who fell while wearing the gray for us.
How many glorious name for us,
They left. Would it not be shame for
US,
If their memory part
From our land and heart?
And grievous wrong and blame for us !!
".
No-no-they wore slain for us;
And bright were the lives they gave for
us;
The land they struggled to save for us
Can not forget
Its warriors yet.
Who sleep in so many graves for US.
No-no-no-they were slain for us;
And their blood flowed out like rain for
us,
Red, rich and pure on the plain for US
And years may go,
But our tears shall flow
Ger the dead who died in vain for US.
VI.
And their deeds. proud deeds, shall re-
main for Us,
And their names, dear names, without
stain for us;
And the glories they won shall not wane
for US;
In legend and lay
Our heroes in gray.
Though dead. shall live over again for us.
