- VILLAIN WHO COUNTED HIM OUT. >f
III, from the Hartford TimesI
NEW YORK, october 30.-SecretarV- Sher-
man has given a western newspaper report
or n version OF bis encounter with Mr. III
den at meeting OF directors OF the Fort
WAYNE railroad 10 this city. The tone OF
Sherman's statement shows his wish to
have people believe. that Tilden has no feel.
ing against him on account or the eiectoral
fraud. ae shook hands with everybody, ne
saws. and when he offered his hand to Til
den il was not refused. This is true.
ridden did not refuse to take Sher-
mans hand when 1t was thrust upon
him. because he did not want to
make a scene or be discourtaous at
meeting where harmony was especially. de-
sirable. But il the skin OF Dir. Sherman's
HAND is not as thick as the covering OF his
political conscience be must remember that
the touch it received was decidedly cold
one. Mr.. TiIden's recognition Of him was
barely formal. He showed at once by his
manner that he would have nothing to say
to Sherman beyond what might be absolute
ly necessary in transacting the business of
the meeting. He regards Sherman as the
chief author OF the enormous fraud whereby
he was cheated out OF the presidency, and
he would not have Sherman Or any other OF
the conspirators suppose for moment that
he has either forgotten or forgiven the crime
which they perpetratcd. There was an
evident desire on the part OF the other gen.
tlemen at the meeting to have Tilden
and Sherman ignore the past. and Sherman
himself seemed almost eager TO do this, or at
least seemed to do it. but he soon found
that Tilden would not respond to bis adj
vauces, and he then drew back. AT first be
affected free and familiar manner, but on
discovering strong probability of being
snabbed;if be carried it very far, be changed
his tactics, and dropped to formality. He
has since spoken OF the meeting as though
he had been almost friendly, whereas, on MIR.
Tilden's part. at all events, it was as frigid
as ships mess at the North Pole. The
sage OF Gramarcy Park has the heartlest
contempt for every man who had hand or
part in the gigantic fraud, and would not
appear in the same room with any member
OF the gang If he could properly avoid it.

Cultivated Wheat.

J. W. Mlze, of the .SuNirdh PrOgfesS, in
company with several other citizens Of Sulli
van, recently visited the farm of General Banks
near that city, for the purpose OF inspecting a
small piece Of wheat that gentleman has plant
cd in new way Of the wheat and its cult
walton, Nh Mize says: 1T was planted in
rows, both ways, the same as corn the rows
being two feet apart. Four grains were dropp
ed IN each hill, 1t was plowed once last fall,
and once this summer with common bull
tongue pillow. Its now in punches that spread
out and nearly cover the ground, From the
four grains that were dropped, many hills have
over one hundred stalks of wheat; ana it is
safe to say that the hills will average seventy
five stalks to the hill The heads of wheat
range from four to eight inches in length, and
contain from fifty to eighty grains to each head
of plump nice. large white wheat. By a little
figuring 1t will b" seen that each grain plantte
has produced on an average at one thousand
grains in return for the seed. II is undoubted-
" good way 20 raise wheat, and the manner
was suggested TO the general 10y his son, MIR.
Cass Banks They have about Il half acre.

the length Of the heads Of the planted wheat,
The matter of wheat cultivation demands at

Mr. Banks is evidence that it will payto plant
it in rows and cultivate It, The farmers of the
county should see Mr. Banks wheat"

They all Lifted ,


Several brethren were sitting in First
South street store yesterday, and somehow they
got to talking about lifting weights
II lifted a barrel once" said lean man IN
the corner that weighed over 200 pounds"
None of the rest seemed to care bit about
what he had lifted.
And l, said tall, lanky man sitting on a
bag of corn, 81 lifted woman once who
weighed over 800 pounds. She was going to
faint, but caught her.
The proprietor of the store opened his eyes
a little and looked at this man, but no further
interest was displayed.
When | was down at Sandy" said small
fat man, II carried a ton of ore to the cars"
Several of the men shifted their positions at
this big one, and the proprietor looked eau
tlously out of the window to see if anybody
was listening.
The last man, who was sitting with his feet
dangling down in a box of eggs-an awful
small man-who looked as if watt of wind
would finish him. at last spoke:
81 suppose you remember when the Walker
house was building. Well, one morning the
boss came to me and said, Jimmie, there is
something the matter with the back foundation
of the hotel; get under and SIC what il IS |
got under, and two men liftG the hotel off its
foundation, and the fabric Game down on me-"
Silence fell upon the crowd and the men
passed out one by one; the proprietor hcaved
sigh, wiped away tear, ana went up to JIM
ME and SAID
Jimmie, you may have recovered from it,
but you must remember our church is full of
liars, and you, in your cOmmendable zeal to
eclipse them all, may be so busy Matching
monsters when Gabriel blows his golden horn
that you will forget to buy your ticket Take
something for your bruises, Jimmie, and leave

A correspondent of the Count,y Gentlcmon
gives the following as his experience with
sweet corn for swine:
Last season, for the first time in my life,
raised several acres Of sweet corn. As soon as
the ears were fully developed l commenced
feeding them to spring pigs. The pigs were
kept in pasture, and were fed nothing but
sweet corn and kitchen Stops. | have never
seen pigs more healthy, or those that fattened
more rapidly. AT eight months old they dress.
ed a little over 300 pounds each. The quality
of the pork was extra, it having none of that
