MICHIGAN FOR BLAINE.

Congressman J. c. Burrows, OF this District,
was interviewed by a newspaper correspondent,
as TO the political status of Michigan on the
Presidential question, and the following is the
report :.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Mr. Burrows, of Mich
Igau. was asked to-day for whom he thought
his State would vote at the Chicago Conven-
ton. lie replied: My own judgment is that
Michigan will go for Blame. have received a
great many letters from persons in my district,
which indicate that Blaine has the lead decided
ly but how it Is N other parts OF the State
have no means OF judging, only IN general
way. have received few letters from out
side of my district which are favorable to
Blaine. and from other sources l learn that
Blaine clubs are very generally being organized
throughout the State. think Blaine Is strong
er now than be was six weeks ago. and Grant
Is weaker"
What do you think OF the New York con-
ventiou ."
MY own opinion is that the result Of the
Utica convention will no. aid Grant any In
carving other States. II the vote for him in
had been unbounded enthusiasm, the influence
OF 1t, OF course, would have been very potent
in other States"
g How does Grant stand in Michigan ~
Grant stands first rate, but Blame stands
better. 1t is not that they love Grant less, but
that they love Blaine more"

are as good as BIaine's. He is very strong IN
the South. think his greatest strength lies
in the states Of New York and Pennsylvania,
and IN these States the delegates will be divided
FOR him, for when it comes to vote many Of
the delegates Will vote in accordance with the
instructions OF their immediate constituents
rather than in accordance with the instructions
of tho State convention"
"Can Grant he elected il nominated ,"
g think he would be strong candidate. lie
would BE stronger in the South than any other
man, but don't think he could carry single
State IN the South. He would be able to do 80
il every man was permitted TO vote according
to his convictions, without fear OF consequences.
l 10 not think any man the Republicans can
nominate would carry any state IN the South.
L think Blaines chances OF election would be
much better"
What do you think OF Washburne ?"

Gentleman mean by his last answer? Is not
Washburne very we'll known, not only to the
people OF this country, but in Europe as well
We opins that Washburne Is no dark horse at
all, but is the real second choice Of the people
OF the Great West: yea, more, the first choice,
and openly so, in spite OF all the Cameron
Conkling ring power-in spite OF the so-called
instructions OF Pennsylvania and New York,
which misrepresent the public pulse in both
those States. The people are not third termers
while the ofics-holding politicians are.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1880-03-12

Recognizing as conclusive the Presidents
declaration that he is not a candidate for re-
nomination, and with the sincersst gratitude
for his patriotic services, we declare our un-
aterable opposition to the election OF any
President for third term. Resolution adopted
by the New York Republican Convention at
Saratoga, Sept. 8, 1875.
How does this accord with the third-term
notions Of the Cameron -Conkng people? Is
there any valid reason for third-termism now,
that would not have been just as appropriate
then?

WASHINGTON, March Ga long interview
with George William Curtis, published in the
New York Tribune. has caused considerable OF
hutter kere among Republicans. He predicts
Republican defeat IN case Grant should be
nominated, and that this would break up the
Republican party. He claims that there is no
spontaneous, popular demand for Grants
nomination. 1t is the work of clique OF
politicians seeking their own advantage.

Hot Cake to an Elephant.

A writer from India tells the follow
ing: One day two ladies were watching
some elephants being fed near their
camp in the jungles of the Central Prov
inces, when the elder of the two unfor-
tunately took it into her head to offer
one of the elephants very hot chapat-
ii, which is cake made of -four and
baked on the fire over thin plate, and
consequently, when fresh made, is burn
ing hot. Elephants are usually fed with
these twice G day, but they are always
allowed to cool before being given.
This one was still so hot that it hurt the
beasts trunk, for he dropped it with the
quickness Of lightning and with a shout,
at the same time striking blow ON the
hand Of the lady, who he of course con-
sidercd had meant to hurt him inten-
tionally. Had she been but little
nearer, and the beast not at the full
length of his chain, the same blow on
the head would certainly have killed
her On the spot. AS it was, her hand
was in most painful state for weeks
afterward. Next morning, when it was
time to start for the next encampment,
this same lady, who usually got up the
ladder first and sat nearest to the ele-
phamt's head. proceeded to do SO as
usual, but rs soon as she approached
the elephant he began to trumpet and
throw water over her. This he did sew
eral times, till at last she had to give up
trying TO ascend, and another lady took
her place. The elephant. however, per-
mittcd her to sit near his tail, but he re-

The Planting and Care Of Trees.

There is no use planting trees and
thinking they are going to take care OF
themselves after being stuck out; they
will do no such thing: they must have
judici0us care, the same as anything
else; they need feeding, pruning, scrap
ing perhaps-and the general over
sight of the owner. If intending to
plant trees this spring, make up your
mind just what you want, and get the
experiences of your neighbors as to the
kinds that succeed best in the neighbor-
hood. Send your orders to some re-
sponsible nurseryman. Take time, and
do the work thoroughly, as it is the
foundation for success in m orchard.

The centennial anniversary of the

To this end a committee has been ap-
pointed to ascertain the nature and
amount of the debts, and to take pre-
liminary measures with a view to max
ing arrangements for wiping every debt

work.

For the FARMER AND MECHANIC

EDGECOMBE COUNTY, April /, 1880.
Mesos. Editors Perhaps some of the
readers of you paper would like to know
some hing of the farming in Edgecombe.
The farmers in this section are endeavoring
to give to the men of other occupation an
idea in regard the independence and beauty
in farming, by going a head and performing
their duties with ease. Though it is we'll
known by many that this county stands
ahead of all others in realizing more to it's
territory, [ don't intend to write as much AZ
[ might. | AN glad to say hat the tillers of
Edgecombe's soil have taken the same opin-
ion, as many correspondents OF Agriculture,
in raising wheat, oats, clover &C., as | think
they have gone at it more extensively than
in several years past. But the majority OF
them don't make as much corn as they ought,
but perhaps the sale OF corn would have
been much less were it not for the great
drowth that occurred during last year. May
they be blesse | this season. by having rain
when needed. 1t is expected by the most
prominent agriculturists that a good crop
throughout the east will be made hope
their expectations will be realized. The
farmers are busy now preparing for and
planting cotton, as they have planted corn,
on the highlands. as a general fact. Farm
ing is the source of wealth in this
country, and upon it do the people
depend, and for the benefit Of the
country, We should wish prosperity to
rest upon those faithfully strive to drive
success in farming. The weather has been
very good for laboring for the past several
weeks; the soil is now we'll prepared for
planting. Though there are some well to
do and prominent farmers in this county,

by not making their supplies at home. |

comes convinced, that for his benefit, he had

did make their supplies on the farm, and
accumulated wealth too.

OF this, some prominent citizens names who
would make honorable officers. though sew
