OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

y
have met at the elections this fall,
the democrats are beginning their
old game of brag and blustsr. Feel.
ing pretty certain of losing every
northern State this year, they are
whistling to keep their courage up.
They have changed their tune con.
sidsrably since last Spring. Then
they said they would carry Mains,
Ohio. Wisconsin, New York, and
several other northern states. Now
they say it will not make any differ
ence whether they carry them or not
In order to keep up the courage of
th.ir adhsrents, they are making
fancy figures for 1880. Thus they
have put in circulation programme
which adds to the 1873 votes of tho
solid south the electoral votes Of
New York, 35, New Jersey, 9, Con.
necticut, 6, and Indiana Is, with
Oregon and Wisconsin in doubt.
The sublime cheek of this claim will
DO better appreciated after the No.
vember elections have made q clean
sweep Of the democratic cobwebs.
No intelligent man dares to say that
the democrats have q chance OF car.
rying q northern state next year,
while the republicans will mako a
strong pull for two or three states in
the South.
Everybody is being interviewed
now relative to the presidency.
Congressman Burrows, of Mich,
Wilson, of Iowa, and YouRg, of
Ohio, believe that Senator Blaine is
the most popular and available pres
idsntial candidate, and that General
Grant will not allow the use of his
name. Senator Carpenter places
Sec'y Sherman ahead in case Gen.
sral Grant is off the track. The
grand demonstrations that have at.
tended Senator Blaine wherever he
has been have strongly sttssted the
love tho republican, party have for
him. On the democratic side sever
al southern leader have declared ior
Bayard, while few are outspoken
for Tilden, and there is a boom for
Hancock and Palmer in some quart.
ers. Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll says
that as the effect Of republican vic.
tories all round Thurman and Til.
den will be regarded rs the Two
Orphans" The Colonel thinks
David Davis is the only man the
democrats can make fight with. AS
for Bayard, Ingersoll says "he is an
excellent man, an honest man; prob.
ably little larger than the State he
represents, politically speaking"
Attorney. General Dsvsns has gone
to Boston. He will make speechs
in bshalf of the republican candi.
date in Massachusetts, on Saturday
and Monday nights. He has no
doubt of the defeat Of. Gen. Butler
by a large majority thar was cast
against him last year.
The National Fair is attracting
great attention here, and is drawing
crowds from abroad. The managers
are must encouraged, and say that
the success of the Fair this year will
enable them to make great improve
rnsnts for next year.
After all the assertions and deni.
ais, it is probable Gen. Grant will be
here TO take part in the reunion of
the Army Of the Cumberland the
10th and Goth OF November. The
citizens of all parties propose a
grand reception for him. The gath
ering here on that occasion will be q
very large one. LEO.

THREE MILLIONAIRES.


! am gossipy to night, and the pc.
culiar ways Of some merchant

iron merchant whose name may be
seen cast into architectural iron

upon life Of earnest, exacting, often
self. denying work, and now, as he
has hewn out princely fortune for
himself, and the frosts Of many win.

opon his head, hs takes life easy,
even as he works. All summer he
has lived in Orange, New Jersey,
whore he paid the neat little rent of
$500 per month for pretty house
embowered with lovely trees and
surrounded with luscious fruit and
flowers. Every day an early train
took the old merchant to the bust

one OF his daughters marching over
the grounds, picking with her own
loving hands The huge, rare berries,
fruit or vegetable, preparing her
fathers dinner with scrupulous care,

city beyond. They are the numsr.

who rise early, drive to their yacht,

Sheep HuSbandry.

Mr.. Tom Crutchfield, of Chattanooga
| Tenn, in an article written for a work
on sheep husbandry, now being prepared
| by the Commissioner Of Agriculture OF
Tennessee, makes the following sugges-
tons about the cares he devotes to his
flock: Annually, at shearing time,
Gull my flock, and take out all ewes and
lambs that are less perfect in form and
fleece, or in any respect inferior, and
place them with the sheep, keeping
to breed from none but the best. |
give my flock good attention They
have access to an open she'd and salt all
the time. | change their grazing
ground often, and endeavor to keep
them in uniform condition. as that
makes uniform wool. ANY sudden
change from Il fat TO poor condition.
and rice Versa, strengthens or diminishes
the fibre Of the wool, frequently rem
derlng the long woods valueless as comb
ing wool. If the sheep becomes poor
when the fleece is about half grown.
and then fatted, the wool inevitably
tells 1t, as at that point where the pov-
7rty of sheep was shown, so will it be |
shown IN the wool, being much weaker |
than the other portions Of the fibre |
grown while the sheep was in good CON
htIon; this same cause, as also any |
)ther cause from which they NAV have |
lad fever, will cause them to she'd their
WOOL. | have heard il said that the |
eeding Of corn to sheep makes them
he'd their wool. No doubt it is true
IS the corn brought them rapidly from
poverty to flesh-the sudden change
ausing the shedding of wool, which
ighttully is attributed to the corn"

THE HEROES OF INDUSTRY.


u r H.
Let others write Of those who fought
on many a bloody field
Of those whose daring deeds were wrought
With sword, and spear, and shield
But I will write OF heroes bold,
The bragest Of the brave,
Who fought for neither fame nor gold
Who iii an unmarked grave.
Heroes who conquered many field
Of hard and sterile soil
Who made the sturdy forest Weld
TO unremitting toll
Heroes VINO did not idly stand,
But dealt such fearful blows,
That acres broad, Of worthless land
Now blossom ike the rose.
The heroes Of the pillow and loom,
The anvil and the forge;
The delivers down amid the gloom
OF yonder rocky gorge.
Heroes who built yon lofty tower,
And forged its heavy bell,
Which faithfully proclams the hour,
And marks it, flight 50 we'll.
Heroes who brought from every cline
Rich argosies Of wealth.
Heroes Of thoughts and deeds sublime,
Who spurned what came by stealth;
Who won "A gucrdOu fair and bright,
And left no bloody stain
No hearth pr0faned-no deadly blight
Upon Gods wide domain.
These worldwide common workers crave
No laurel wreath Of fame
No monument above their grave;
They toiled but for \ NAME
Among the lOwiy ones who plOd
Their weary ways along,
With faith and confidence that God
Correctcth every wrong.

Improving Farm by Selling.

a young farmer writes: Having SO
acres of improved land, with good build
Ings, L wish to stock this farm at the
same time laying out as little money as
| possible, and keeping the land in the
! best condition. The farm is in good
condition, and, as it now stands, consists
OF 10 acres pasture, 20 acres meadow.
20 acres oat-stubble. Now. what |
would like to know is, the kind of stock
most profitable to begin with, as milcb
COWS, or sheep, and young stock; or
would you advise one to work into the
solllng system who has never had anv
experience If so, any information in
regard to starting point would be high
ly appreciated. Some seem to think
that farmers can expend any amount of
money with the hope of some future re-
turns, but, in most eases, farmers have
to watch their pennies and look for i'm
mediate returns. 4 little good, sound,
advice on carrying on farm in the most
economical way, with as little expendi
ture as possible, looking mostly to the
Improvement ofthe land by raising crops
without expensive fertilizers, would be
highly esteemed
REPLY.-The first consideration in
this case Is, what products can be most
easily sold. If there is market
for milk or butter, then cows
would be the best stock to keep, and
by solling more COWS can be kept
than by any other method. Where
there Is some grass, partial soiling NAV
be practiced. For instance. 20 COWS
might be kept to begin with. The pas-
fnrn noIrht ho -

grass Is good crop of oats and peas

the crop Is good, square rod will feed |
