HERE follows the New York Tribune's
description of the Democratic Presidential
field: All the Democratic booms are out of
sight, and the barrel holds the field alone.
Bayard is abandoned by everybody except
The World newspaper and the South. Han
cock, for some reason or other, has no advo-
Gates anywhere, except few in the South.
Seymour is hidden completely behind his
brass andirons. Randolph had the shadow
of chance, and he wiped it out himself
with uncommon ability. Thurman and Hen
bricks have been dead for six months, and
there is no hope of resurrection. The jew
ett boom exists solely in the Imagination of
his personal friends, and there isn't bit
more reality to the alleged Palmer and
Church booms. The great Whisperer is
master of the situation, and the party real
ICES its fate and is making up its mind to
submit and look pleasant. Even Tammany
contents itself with muttering about the un-
wisdom of nominating Tilden, and carefully
abstains from all threats to bolt. Commit
teeman Priest of Missouri, says Mr.. Dor
sheimer assured him that Tammany will
support Tiiden if he is nominated, and that
is undoubtedly the fact. The situation, to
the eye Of the Republican observer, is ''too
awfully lovely for anything"

At the meeting of their State committee the

that "there is on one side the dead carcass

of great party, and it becomes Virginia to
be part of the living and not of the dead.''

THE st. Louis Globe-Democrat sounds a
timely note of alarm when it says that il the
Democrats elect the next President and Sc
cure control of tie Forty-seventh Congress,
one of their first moves will be the reorgani-
zation Of the Supreme Court of the United
States, so as to change the present Republi-
can majority of that body into a minority.
This could be done by increasing the num-
Der of Justices from nine to fifteen and ap-
pointing only Democrats to the new seats
thus created. Should the new members be
chosen because of their agreement with the
views of the two Democratic Justices, Field
and Clifford, now on the bench, it would not
take long to reverse the recently rendered
judgments affirming the validity of the wal
legislation and others at variance with the
Democratic doctrine of State rights. This
is a matter that Northern voters should bea1
in mind in the approaching campaign.
EDITOR CowLEs, of the Cleveland Leader
hitherto Grant man, in accepting the Pres
idency of a Blaine club, said: ''Latterly il
appears quite evident that the nomination
of General Grant might ALLEVIATE large
number of German Republicans who have
fixed ideas in regard to the danger of our po
litical system that exists, as they claim, in
electing President for third term 1t is
quite clear, also, that the third term princi
pie will drive certain class of lukewarm
Republicans away from us, so much as to
seriously endanger the ticket. Therefore
have come to the conclusion that as mat
ter of safety and toassure success, we should
endeavor by all honorable means to secure
the nomination Of Hon. James G. Blaine fol
President. .and Hon. Elihu B. Washburne
for Vice-President.'

Boston Traveller: Stalwart Republicans
are not bolters. They recognize at all times
ard under all circumstances, the first law of
party existence, which is-submission, COM
plete and unreserved, to the will of the ma
jority. This is the same essential condition
on which the Republic, and every Common
wealth it embraces, exists. Wherein, pray,
consisted the mortal sin of the South in
1861? Entirely in the violation of that fun
damental law of obedience to the will of the
majority. The Confederacy was a colossal
bolt. The Rebel Congress at Richmond was
the grandest Scratchers' Convention ever
held. The men who composed it had not
only resolved to ''strenuously opposed Lin
coins election. but had gone further and
resolved that, if elected, they would not
submit to bis authority as President of the
United States.

He Remembered the Text.

A pious old lady, who was too unwell
to attend meeting, sent her thick-headed
husband to church to find out the text
the preacher selected as the foundation
of his discourse. The poor Ounce was
rarely fortunate enough to remember
the words of the text, or even the chap
ter and verse where they could be found;
but one Sabbath he ran home in hot
haste, informed his wife that he could
repeat every word, with out missing q
syllable. The words were as follows:
"An angel came down from heaven
and took live coal from the ALTAR
"Know every word," replied the hus-
band.
81 am anxious to hear it," continued
the wife.
"They are nice words" observed the
husband.
81 am glad your memory is improv-
ing; but don't keep me in suspense, my
DEAR" said she.
Just get your big Bible, and will
say the words, for I know them by heart
said them hundred times on my way
home"
"Well, let's hear them"
"Ahem ~ said he, clearing his throat
"An Injun came down from New Ha-
ven and took live colt by the tail and
jerked him out Of the halterl''
The memory of one-half who attend
church is very similar to the above.

Feeding Animals.

An anonymous writer who has
adopted the appropriate word "Ali.
mentation" for n nom de plume, is
contributing to the Lire Stock Jour
nal n long and valuable series of
papers upon the subject of stock
feeding. The articles are very care.
fully written, and evidently by one
who understands this subject, and
are of the highest Importance to
every farmer. The copyright is Sc
cured by the author, and we presume
that at the close of the series they
will be published in book form. We
take the liberty of making the fol-
lowing extract from the current num-
Der:
If men could only be impressed
with the fact, and firmly believe that
whatsoever is produced in beef, milk +,
or wool, must come from the food
which the animal eats, what n great
and salutary change would at once
take place all over the country.
There is not movement made by
any creature that must not be COM
pensated for by the food. How di-
rectly this bears upon the profits of
the dairyman! If cows are allowed
to go two miles, or even one mile, to
pasture, or any one is allowed to mis-
use them, it must be paid for in food.
If cows are driven hurriedly, or
chased by dogs, the quality OF their
milk is changed 1t becomes poor
deficient IN ol-the nervous excite
ment uses it up. How evident then
is it, that all exercise must be paid
for In food, and that the dairyman
should most judiciously regulate this
exercise.
Again there is not one degree of
heat that Is not produced by the
food. The slightest change affects
the food. II cows are exposed to a
temperature of 10 degrees below
zero, food enough must be burned in
the lungs of the animal to overcome
the effects of this intense cold.
/ want to emphasize this great ta,c
Of equivalents. There must be some
thing paid for everything. Some
thing cannot be produced from moth
ing.
Then, again, the COW must be sup

Put Your Foot on Him. :

We find the following excellent
advice in Ldnd and Home for Feb
ruary IL, and in the next issue Of
the same journal cartoon, which we
cannot reproduce, illustrating its APP
plication Of the story to the case, by
the application of the farmers boot
to the tree peddler whose sample
book is flying in all directions
Farmers who innocently permit
themselves to be gulled by confidence
men, may we'll learn aie~on from the
action OF the boy mentioned in the fol.
lowing l.. 4. French, messenger-boy
from Townsend & Fargis, commission
merchants, outwitted two scamps at
the Chemical National Bank in New
York, few days ago. French was
counting a roll of bills, when one
of the men, tapping him on the
shoulder, said: "Young man, you've
dropped some of your money" Rec
ollecting stories of similar attempts
to dupe victims, French seized the
pile of bills in his hand before he
looked down. lie saw a bank note
on the floor, and quietly putting his
foot on II, continued counting his
money. Then he picked up the bill,
and was walking out, when one of
the men, who saw that he had been
beaten at his own game, said "Par-
don me ! was mistaken. That bill
was dropped by me-" The other
stranger added: ayes, that makes
out the exact amount" III guess I'll
keep it to remember you by" was the
boys answer, leaving the swindlers
to make the best of it.
The way to manage lightning-rod
man is to pm your foot on him. The
way to manage the fellow who gets
you to sign paper, and then sells it
at the bank rs a note for 500, is to
put your foot on him. The way to treat
with the itinerant tree peddler Is to
put your foot on him, as did the boy
French.
