called to the witness stand, devoted her
testimony solely to the descriptions Of al
legged Instances Of i'll treatment from her
husband, and then Was kept tor hours
under examination as 10 instances Of mis-
conduct on her part alleged in her hus-
bands answer. Mr.. Hill was examined.
having Just returned from China. He re-
lated the circumstances Of their court
ship, marriage and subsequent life at
great length charging Mrs Hill with
leaving him in China without further rca-
son than that she wished greater range
OF acquaintance and amusemcnts than
were possible there, stated that they ar
ranged that she should visit Europe with
a female relative, but she determined to
go alone, and that once, at the Parker
House III Boston, on entering her room,
he found her seated on the lap Of a man
whom she introduced as 1tAIr. Ladd. of

much space in the papers Of late, amounts
to just this Mr. Field got Mr.. Tilden to
take some stock in the New York Eleyat-

Obviously, Mr.. Field has no good ground
for his complaints, But this does not
prove that Mr.. Tilden is the right man for

The Contrast Between 1878 and 1879.

years previous there had been an adverse
trade balance. The country was doing
itS business with iiuctuating paper mon

impossible. because the condition of our
trade WAS such that all the coin which
could he obtained would he sent to Flu

ference between the aggregate of our eN-
ports and imports
From the present standpoint. and With
the bitter experience OF the past Sis Years,
1t does not require an unusual degree Of
sdgaclty to seq that under such tondi-

only i've OF whom were farmers. Since the advent
OF the Grange farmers have come to think talk
and weigh matters for themselves and we shall be
surprised If ere long they are not found acting for
themselves. There are many farmers at this dav
who could hardly be persuaded to believe that
they would not be as well represented if every
member now in Congress from this State were all

There is certainly nothing to be said
against sending farmers to Congress,
though their claims to the distinction arc
not greater than those of business or pro
teSsional men. But there is much to be
sad against turning the Oranges into
political organizations, which the Rural
intimates may yet be done. In the West,
where the ''actual farmers" compose 4
much larger proportion OF the population
than in New England, the Granger polit-
zeal movement was failure, as it desery-
ed to be. 1t would be contrary to the
spirit of our institutions, and detrimental
to the interests Of the nation. for i polit-
cal organization composed of A single class
to hold the reinS of government. There
IS no danger Of such Il thing coming t.
pass, however, for every other class would
make common cause against the one
which might seek to bring it about and
III this great country with its many and
diversified interests no one class can ever

The traveller sharpers who select credu-
lous farmers for their prey are constantly
inventng new TRICKS with which to impose
on their victims. One CT the latest OF
these is to persuade farmer &c become
local agent for new hay-rake. or sOE2 e
other patented article of machinery, by
Offering him a good commission on all the
sales he can make. This done, the farmer
is induced to sign conditional note for
the payment of limited sum of money
when he shall haYe sold $275 worth of
the new machines. The note is so dTawp
and worded that it can be cut in two cross
wise with pair of scissors, the right half
being worthless, but the left half being a
regular note of hand for 1915, signed by
the entrapped farmer. The travelling
agent having secured it, sehs it to any
one who will buy it, and the farmer first
awakes to his folly when the note is pre-.
sented for payment, Another game il
quite as adrOit. A very respectable look
log person goes through the country with
| buggies and carriages to sell and sell then
at such low prices-$60 and $50 each
that many farmers are tempted to buy
them; but the agent is scarcely out oil

comes along, exhibits chattel mortgage
on the buggy to the astonished purchase
and carries off the property, provided tn
purchaser will let him. These tricks ar
