Salt for Wheat.

The Rural New Yorker replies to a
correspondent in this way: at is the
strong belief of many farmers, at dis
tance from the seashore especially, that
salt is valuable fertilizer for wheat
1t appears to decidedly stiffen the straw
and increase the yield. The quantity
applied is from two to six bushels to
the acre. The latter quantity will do
no harm, but two or three bushels are
enough. Fine salt should be used, and
care mnst be taken to SOW it evenly.
1t must be understood that salt will in
no wise take the place OF a proper pre-
paration of the land, suitable fertiliza'
ton, or good seed well put in. But
with these it is considerable help. 1t
may be applied to winter wheat early
in the spring, and is sown upon spring
wheat after it is narrowed in and roll
ed. Under fair coHditions, the average
estimated gain in the crop from dress
ing of salt, is from four to six bushels
per acre"

To Bayard Taylor Beyond Us.
A VISION OF CHRISTMAS EVE, 1878.

As here within, watch the fervid Goals,
While the chill heavens without shine
wsnly white,
/ wonder, Friend in what rare realm of
souls,
You hail the uprising Christmas tide to-
night
l leave the fireplace, lift the curtains fold,-
And peering past these shadowy window
bars,
See through broad riffs of ghostly clouds un
rolled,
The pulling palIor of phantasmal stars
Phantoms they seem. glimpsed through the
clouded deep
Til the winds cease, and Cloudland's
ghastly glow
Gives place above the luminous calms Of
sleep
Beneath, to glittering amplitudes Of snow!
Some stars like steely bosks on blazoned
shields,
Stud consultations measureless in might
Some lily-pale, make fair the ethereal fields,
In which, o. Friend, art thou ensphered
tonight?
Wher'er mid yonder infinite worlds it be,
Its souls know are clothed with the
nluSe VI uIt,
How wouldst thou scorn even Immortality,
In whose dull rest thou couldst not still as
pire!
There, Home' raised where Genius canno
nod,
Years the orbed thuDders of celestial seas;
And Shakespeare, lofty almost as a God.
Smiles his large emile at Aristophanes =
With earth's supremest souls,-still groupec
apart,
Great souls made perfect in the eterna
noon,
There thy loved Goethe holds thee to hi
heart,
Reborn to youth, and all Ife's chords il
tune.
While in the liberal air of that wide heaven
he whispers "Come we share the self
AL same height;
''To me on earth thy noblest tolls were given
Brothers, henceforth, we walk these path
Of light"
Clear and more clear the radiant visior
.. CLEANS
More bright grand shapes and glorious
faces grow;
While like deep fugues Of liberty, heard il
2 dreams,
A thousand heavenly clarions seem to blow

Demooratic Campai.n Assessments.

TO The Editor of The NatoAal RsDlblicdn
SIR: As the Democratic investigating COM
mittee would have the American people believe
i mean those whom they will not dare to con-
verify the shot-gun-thati / isa great outrage to
nssess clerks per cent If done by a. Republican
official, it would seem pertinent to show the
history of their record while they had the OPP
portunity to enforce all the virtues they now
pirate about.
In 1860 the Democratic party was much af
ilctcd with wouldbe Presidents, SO much so
that they deemed it essential to make three
Republics; but previous to this the National
Democratic Committee passed resolution that
each Congressional district should be taxed
800 and employees Of the Government per
cent of their salary" This was in behalf
of Douglas, but when the campaign was further
developed it was found that Buchanan deter.
mined to favor Breckinridgc, and he sent q
private circular for the removal of all the
Douglas men," and it was decided that en-
ployees must pay per cent moro to the Breck-
inridge fund. This move of Buchanan called
forth letter from George N. Sanders, man
ager of the Douglas campaign denouncing
Buchanan for his "Your Nero-lilSe perfidy,
false alike to persons and party you have
heavily taxed your otiice-holders to initiate
Breckenridge tickets North"
SO we see the Democrats never failed when
they had tho power to tax Government en-
ployees. HISTORY.

citizenship, for the reason that such assaults
tend TO strengthen tho Government and its
institutions in the confidence Of capital.
Such reasoning and such conclusions are
unbecoming any man who has intelligence
enough to hit the ground with his hat IT
is the conception of incarnate stupidity.
The patriotism Of the people, coupled with
the timidity of capital, have no doubt led
to the late heavy investment in bonds ut
low rate of interest Capitalists see the
tendency of the present Democratic war
upon the integrity of the Government, the
laws Of protection, and the rights of citizen
ship, toward direct and certain revolution.
They scent the dangers that impend over
the Constitution and the laws, and they are
under that patriotic impulse which during
the rebellion, when the national life hung
| in the balance, brought forth individual aid
under the impression that unless the ma
tional life was saved there was nothing
worth living for in the American Republic
1t was the danger Of the hour that prompt
ed individual aid TO the Government then,
and the same sense of insidious peril
leads the patriotic now to intronch the Ma
tional Treasury A determination to sus-
tain the Government in tho midst of the
assaults now being made upon it by mem
nced starvation, and by those, too, who
sought to shoot il to death eighteen years
ago, has led heavy capitalists TO promptly
and efficiently fortify the National Ex-
chequer with material aid and confidence by
taking largely of its lowest priced bonds.
Then, again, the revolutionary policy OF
Congress has weakened, if it has not
crushed out the struggling hope Of re-
vival of business, until the existing perils
which destroy confidence and hope in trade,
commerce, and manufactures, and bring
encouragement to all private enterprises,
shall have passed.
If capital believed that the Democratic
policy of revolution would bring renewed
energy to private enterprise and business, it
would not seek investment in per cents.
II seeks this investment for the same reason
that the ship in storm seeks refuge in n
safe harbor. IT has confidence in the loyal
the national integrity in this crisis as it did
during the rebellion, and that confidence
leads to an investment in Government Sc
curities rather than in real estate or in the
speculative industries of the people. The
want Of confidence in the Democracy and
its revolutionary schemes leads capital to
rally around the Government in this hour
of peril.
/ We should like to ask these wiseacres oI
the Democratic school what amount of these
Government bonds are taken by the Demo
cratic capitalists OF the South, or even Of the
} North, as an earnest of their confidence in
the permanence and success of this Govern
ment under the prospect Of Democratic
, rule? How many millions Of dollars of
per cents has TILDEN OF any other Demo.
cratic millionaire taken in these low-priced
5 securities, rs an evidence of his confidence
in the stability of this Government' We
