party to-day--ln the closest possible com.
pact. Smith has been willing TO trade off
the greenback party TO either of the old
parties that would make him Governor.
Not succeeding in trade with the repub-
licans he has now made his bargain with
the democrats.
OF late there is little restivcness on
the part of some hard-money democrats
and some Old Regulars who are being
sold out without their knowledge and con
sent. TO allay the irritation from that
quarter, the democratic State Committee
neld Il meeting in Portland last week and
resolved on vigorous campaign for their
own distinctive candidates But the meet
ing was blind and the men who called
it smiled in each others faces at the arti-
fee they We're attempting. 1t was very
thin and very shallow.
\ more serious jar to the easy rolling
of the coalition wagon happened in this
city last week, when the old line demo-
Gratis in their County Convention resent
fully refused 10 accept the Senatorial and
county ticket which the grcenbarkers had
nominated without so much rs saying BY
your leave, Sin" The greenbackcrs are
apparently better acquainted with the
''Sell-out' than the democrats were. and
they undoubtedly felt genuine surprise
when the democrats refused to be spoon
fed by Amos Pickard and his sreenbach
associates. The veteran democrat and
skilled manipulation, George T. Sewall.
was in the Bourbon Convention rs Smith :
manager. But somehow he failed to
.'manage." and lett in utter disgust be-
fore the convention concluded its work.
The Penobscot hare-up. however. was
an exceptional incident in the working of
the campaign, though possibly it may
prove contagious. As Il rule however. it
will be found that the grecnbacAers and
democrats will unite in the election of
Senators and Representatives and if they
succeed in securing the Legislature, Jo-
seph l.. Smith will be made Governor and
for the use, bchoof and benefit OF the
democratic party. \ democratic Senator.
(Ebon +. PHiSb"ryO is to be chosen to
succeed Hannibal Hamlin, and there is to
be firm union in support of the democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency in 1880.
The bargnin has been made. and Joseph
l.. Smith has found the democrats, AS he
did not find the republicans, ready to make
him Governor. The only question remaining
relates to the delivery of the voters. Can
the honest greenbackers be yarded, herd
ed, marked and delivered to the democracy
just to CRAFTY the ambition of Joseph l..
Smith to be Governor of Maine? ami

IHitcd States y think not.
The democratic greenbackers do not
relish being traded back into the old par
ty. and the republican greenbackers are
as hostile TO the democratic party as when
they were outspokcn republicans.
In the attempt of the democrats to sell
out their candidate and of the green
back candidate to sell out his par
ty it is very likely to happen that good

which all good citizens have, he was op
posed to any scheme of currency which

As soon as these words were published

feel that they were cheated in their candi-
date; the democrats began to fear that
Smith would be taken up by the republi-
cans and their party thrown out in the
cold. and the republicans began very nat
urally to query whether they might not
with advantage take Smith for Governor

celon was known to entertain in reality
very unsound views on the financial ques-
ton. And thus all three parties were

Fruit As Il Medicine.

The irregular eating of unripe fruit
is well known to be unwholesome.
The regular and moderate use of
well-ripened fruit is not so widely
appreciated as contributing to health.
Residents in regions where more or
less malaria prevails, have discovered
that nothing is a more sure proven
tive Of its deleterious effects than a
regular supply of fruit.
But fruit will not only prevent dis
ease, but in some instances it has
proved one of the best medicines to
cure it. Many years ago q chronic
cough, which had excited a good deal
of uneasiness, was cured by daily eat
ing ripe raspberries, recommended
by medical writer of high authority,
as an excellent expectorant. Severe
colds are more apt to occur on the first
cool and damp days of autumn than
at other seasons. We have often cured
these diseases on the first attack, by

serious accidents to the natives. The
clusters of large white flowers are
produced about April, and form a
great attraction to an enormous
species of bat, kind said to be one
of the greatest pests OF Eastern
fruit groves. The finest fruits are
obtained from cultivated trees.
The tree does well in Sumatra,
Java, Celebes and the Spice islands,
and even as far north as Mindanao.
Forests OF it exists on the Malay pen
insula. and very fine fruit is brought
to Singapore from Siam about July
or August. 1t does not succeed well
in India, and cannot be grown In the
West Indies.
The editor of the GdrC1,aer's Chro'a-
icze is mistaken in saying these fruits
do not grow in the West Indies.
We have seen them in Jamaica
weighing near a hundred pounds.
There are several varieties OF them
growing in that Island and are called
there Jack;truit. The seeds, boiled
or baked are like chestnuts.-[ED.

More Regarding Peat Muck.
STERN Farmer in Rural New Yorker.


A Western Farmer in Rural New Yorker
First, muck that is "muck" and is
not mixed with large portion of
sand, is nearly all vegetable matter
and, as such, is no more fit for plants
than gravel or other mineral matter
would be food for an animal. The nj
trooen contained in it even, is not fit
for use until the muck is decomposed
and mineralized and the ammonia
formed in the decomposition is set
free. The mere fact that the muck
is disintegrated and reduced to fine
powder is OF no more effect further
than that it can be spread the more
easily. I have been handling muck
for years, and know good deal
about it. OF course there are differ
ent kinds OF muck, but l refer to that
kind which cuts out in solid blocks
and consist Of a dark, brownish or
black tibrous vegetable matter. Now
only to-day ! have been passing
along the banks OF bitches which
were dug a year ago, and the blocks
of muck which were thrown out then
are now almost as solid as at first,
and tor a very good reason. They
have dried or have frozen, and when
dry or frozen they dU not rot; in
fact, dry peat is next to imperishable.
To decompose, any vegetable sub
stance must be kept moist and warm,
or it must be subjected to chemical
process by a means OF some caustic al
kali, as lime or ashes. When piled in
heaps, vegetable matter will be kept
moist and will ferment and become
warm and the presence of lime OF ashes
in the heap will greatly hasten this fer
mentation and heating. Some years
ago [ spread hundreds of loads of
muck upon ten-acre field during the
winter and lost whole winters work
of two men and four horses. The
muck remained in Jumps tor years
and seemed to resist water and keep
as dry as if it were as we'll protected
as ducks back. 1t was plowed in
and out and torn up and dragged
here and there with harrows, and
was, in fact, of no use whatever.
And such l am sure will be the effect
anywhere, OF spreading fresh muck
upon land in the manner advised by
Gen. Noble. So, too, it will be use
less to heap it in piles and expect it
to be available as fertilizer within
one year, unless liberal portion of
lime or wood ashes is mixed in with
it. Further, 1 would explain that
the yellow deposit seen in the bitches
in peat swamps is not by any means
always iron. When it is, it is gener-
ally carbonate OF oxide, and useful
and not the sulphate (copperas) and
hurtful. The sulphate is very rap
idly oxidized, and iron ores or iron
rocks are generally impregnated with
oxides and not with sulphates, SO that
