Acting according, to your sugges'

Department at Washington for the
pamphlet recently issued by it on
~'Sheep Husbandry in the South." As
yet have but scanned it, having
loaned it to friend who is posting
himself On the subject, in anticipa.
tion Of engaging in it as a business.
The pamphlet is an elaborate and a
carefully well-written treatise on the
matter in hand, containing numerous
opinions and results from various cor.
respondents throughout the soath.
From 1t we learn that sheep are pro.
titable, eminently and uniformly SO,
whenever tried with care, and under
standingly. It advocates sheep to the
determination of cotton; that we
should let grow the grass which it is
so prone to grow in this cline, utiliz-
ing it as pastorage for sheep. Ac-
cording to the writer and the various
extracts from his informants, so per
cent. profits on money invested in
sheep is safe and very low average.
Surely nothing else pays like this.
The usurer can't do better. And no
other stock can tavorably compare
with sheep in point OF profit to the
owner. English authorities affirm
that while land will deterioate under
the constant grazing OF other cattle,
it will constantly improve in fertility
under the sheep. This is very sug-
gestiye to the thoughtful. But to be
absolutely successful with sheep we
must comply with certain conditions,

Political Notes.

The latest rumOr OF political intrigue Is that
the democrats and greenbackers Of Maine have
conspired to count out the republican candi-
dates recently elected. Since the election in
vestigations haye been set on foot, and the state
officers, so the rumor goes, who have the final
counting OF the vote, will be convinced that th ,
returns elect1ng republicans are fraudulent 1t
is also said that Senator Blaine has asked for a
detachment OF U. S. troops to be stationed at
the state capital during the count, with the
view of preventing by force the successful issue
OF the conspiracy. 1t Is not likely that there is
much truth In any Of these rumorS but they
nave nad the same effect upon the public mind
as II ihey were true. The people of Maine are
kept In state OF excitement
The Louisville Courier Journal of the 11th
inst has the following at the head of its edito-
rial columns 1.-THE story that Mr.. Tilden pro-
poses to start an organ at Washington Is nre-
posterouS. Uncle Sammy is not such fool as
that. He does not care button what the Con-
gressmen think, and he wouldn't give nickel
