to which is the simon-pure organization, there
being, it seems, no less than four separate
movements, each inviting the others to come
under its sheltering wing, and, meantime, the
Tribune reminds them all that the exhibition
must be held under the authority of the Uni
ted States by commissioners, to be appointed
in pursuance of an act of Congress, and that
all volunteer associations will have to step out
when the real work begins, and that the most
important part of the work is raising the large
sum of money which will be required for the
preparation of the grounds and the erection
of buildings.

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1879.

Secretary Sherman, in view of the probn-
biity that he would be asked to accept the
Republican nomination for Governor Of Ohio,
has written letter emphaticaly declining to
consider the honor, and saying that he is con-
WINGED that his duty at present lies in prose
cutting to the end the financial schemes which
he has on hand.

Freeman, the Pocasset murderer, is said
to be still under the influence of his hallucin-
alton, and appears to all visitors to his place
of confinement to be entirely free from anxi-
ETY. or remorse. His wife, on the contrary, is
thoroughly broken down, and weeps for her
murdered child day and night. 1t is feared
that her health will give way, and that she
will not live until the day set for the trial.

cism but what seems especially deserving of
notice is the fact that the mass Of Southern
newspaper opinion is on the side of modera-
ton and order aud makes no concealment Of
its want Of sympathy with the tone and
plans which have contributed to the revival
of the sectional controversy.

Suppose, for example, that Vermont were
an October State in which party lines were
pretty close together, wouldn't Senator Ed
munds be blooming" as a candidate at this
time ?-Neto York Tribune, May IL.
1t has been frequently remarked of late
that if Senator Edmunds lived in large and
close State politically he would 'loom" up as
Presidential candidate. Boston Journal,
May II.
Precisely what The PHGNIx said five weeks
ago at the time the Grant boon" was first
started, when we remarked that "Were Mr..
Edmunds a representative of an important
but doubtful State, like New York or Ohio,
there is no man TO whom the Republican par
ty would surer turn for leadership" And to
this statement of fact, We are willing it should
be remembered, We added this guess at the
truth "
Stranger things have happened than that
in the. Republican national convention of
1880 the question of locality should be lost
in a determination 10 seek the strongest and
ablest man in the party, and that by that
means the nomination should fall on the Hon.
George y. Edmunds"

When the Minneapolis Mimi Touring
mills were destroyed the insurance companies
refused to pay, claiming that their destruc-

and not to fire. A jury has, however, given
amount, with interest, sustaining the posi-
ton of the millers that fire was seen before
the explosion.

Tramps are finding their occupation made
very uncomfortable in a large number of
States by the passage of stringent ant-tramp
laws New York is the latest State to pass
such law, and the enactment there is even
more severe than most laws of that kind, in
that any resident is empowered to arrest any
stroller who trespasses kindles a fire ON the
highway or any mans premises without con-
sent carries firearms or threatens to inhict
any bodily harm The punishment for either
of the above offenses is two years imprison-
ment, and not less than years imprison-
ment is imposed as a penalty for the aimless
rowing from place to place of what the law
terms "transient persons"

Advices from China show that the news of
the Presidents veto of the Chinese immigra-
ton bill was received in that country with
mingled emotions. The common people who
have friends in America rejoiced at the Pres
ident's action, though there is no indication
that general emigration will follow The
Government officials however, seem to be
dispeased at the result, as they had hoped
by the enactment of the bill to gain some pre-
text to enact regulations discriminating against
American trade.

Mondays Senate debate on the Legislative
appropriation bill had au amusing feature.
Senator Vance of North Carolina, the sue
cessor of Senator Morrison, followed Mr..
Blaine making his first speech in the Senate,
his effort being an attempt to ridicule the
position which he assumed to have been tax
en- by the Republicans on pending issues
During his speech, DIR. Mary Walker, who
sat in the gallery, manifested approval of
some sentiment in the speech by humping
her umbrella upon the floor. The Senate
WAS startled out of all proprety by the dem
onstration, but no notice was taken of it.
When the doctor repeated the operation a
deputy sergeant-at-arms was sent to remove
her On discovering the cause of the dis
turbance he turned the job over to some
doorkeepers, who surrounded the doctor, and
tried TO get her to leave She refused, and
threatened to squeal if force was used. The
doorkeepers surrendered, and the doctor re-
manned undisturbed. She did not, however,
applaud any more, doubtless because she
saw nothing more worthy the effort.

The Straw on the Farm.

In mixed farming there is nothing grown
that should be wasted. Everything should
conduce to the fertility of the farm and the
prof of the entire system. | do not think
if had crop of 100 tons of straw, that /
would think it advisable to sell any of it
off the farm ut IS per ton. [ think the farm
offers a better price. But when l see an
old stock that has stood for three or four
wears, and is gradually settling into the
ground, can not help wondering how the
farmer has not sold it at any price. Although
straw is not equal to good hay for feeding
purposes, yet its value is not a little. Even
when allowed to get dead ripe, if the crop
is properly cared for afterwards, store cattle
will do very well on straw diet, provided
it is not exclusive. | have made practice
of wintering young horses, and all horses
not working, on considerable portion of
straw daily, what is left in the manger be-
ing used for bedding. | have been satisfied
of its value when thus used. Store cattle
also are fed literally on straw, alternating
with hay, and they always eat the straw up
clean. When / have taken the trouble to
cut my grain a trife green, but so ripe as
not to injure the quality of the berry, |
have found the value of the straw much
enhanced. Straw, however, no matter how
it may be cut or cured, is not equal to good
hay. ] have always been amply repaid for
Il generous use of straw in the hog-pen, not
only by the comfort of the pigs, but as a
matter of economy, as straw Is perfect
absorbent. Too much of the profits of
farming is often lost through negligence of
the straw crop. 1t is a valuable element iii
mixed husbandry, and l. for one, should
not know how to live through the winter if
it was not for my straw stacks, which ] can
use in many ways to keep my stock clean,
comfortable and healthy.

Seven Cures for Neuralgia.

Among the hints for relieving neuralgia
we find the following in the newspapers:
l. Crate and mix horse radish in vinegar,
the same as for table purposes; and apply to
the temples when the face or head Is atfec-
ted, or to the wrist when the pain is in the
arm or shoulder.
,. A lady who. has been troubled with
neuralgia, in the head, uses a bag of hot
oats at night as pillow. She says: "Heat
the oats in a kettle over the fire, or in your
oven. | have never been troubled with
neuralgia in any place but my head so L
cannot say how beneficial it would be for
neuralgia in other parts of the body. An
other cure is drinking hot lemonade"
3. Apply equal parts of camphOr, chloro-
form, aconite and alcohol, for neuralgia. 1t
will relieve, and won't take the skin off
either.
4. One of the simplest remedies for neu-
ralgia is essence Of PEPPERMINT. Battle the
part affected, keeping the hand over it. 1t
will burn and draw, but not blister.
5. Let Canada thistle be gathered for the
purpose, when in blossom, and dried with
other herbs. Turn boiling water on a guam
tity of the thistles, let them steam five or
ten minutes turn out and sweeten to taste.
Before drinking it fix for a sweat in warm
room, then drink OF the tea while it is hot
in large quantities Follow taking the tea
for few days, and you will effect a cure
don't drink it hot after the sweat, but either
warm or cold.
6. Sal ammonia, half a drachm, dissolved
in water, one ounce. Dose, one tablespoon
full internally every three minutes
7. Extract of gelsemin (yellow jessamine),
five to ten drops in about tablespoonful
of water; three doses taken at intervals OF
an hour apart, not oftener, have relieved
very severe attacks.

Buy a Farm.

Horace Greeley said, "Go VEST" but
George Barstow gave better advice in a
speech mt Metropolitan Temple. lie said ::
every man should own his home, if he can.
That philosophy which tells man to drift
ON over the ocean of this uncertain life
without a home of his own, is wrong. The
man who does not own his home is like a
ship out on the open sea at the hazards OF
the storm. The man who owns his home
is like ship that has arrived in port and is
moored in a safe harbor. One man should
no more be content to live in another mans
house, if he can build one of his own, than
one bird should annually take the risk of
Matching in another birds nest and for
my own part l would rather be able to own
a cottage than to hire palace. | often see
men eager to effect an insurance upon their
lives, and this is well-it is right. But the
man who owns his home has effected an
insurance upon his happiness and the hap
