A wretched woman, brought lately to
a London police court, proved to be the
wife of an ex-ofiicer of the army She
is of excellent birth, has been presented
at court. and is very accomplished, but
can keep from the gin bottle. The
name was studiously concealed. The
magistrate suggested an inebriate asy-
lum but it was explained that her con-
sent was necessary and that she
wouldn't give it. Ultimately her husband
came for her.

The Germantown Telegraph suggests
that our agricultural societies, which
give so many and high premiums for
fast trotting horses, might at least spare
little for the announcement OF the
food which the noble animal is to eat.
Premiums for well-grown hay, clean
hay, hay from improved grasses. and
well-managed hay fields. it thinks,
would surely be objects worthy the
attention of even State agricultural
society.

Tran.piAa,Ins by Might.

A gentleman anxious to ascertain the
effect of transplan ing by night instead
of by day, made an experiment.. with
the following result: He transplanted
ten cherry trees while in bloom, COM
mencing at four o'clock in the after
noon. Those transplanted during day
light shed their blossoms, producing
little or no fruit. while those trans
planted in the dark maintained their
condition fully. He did the same with
ten dwarf trees after the fruit was one
third grown. Those transplanted dur
ing the day shed their fruit; those trans
planted during the night perfected the
crop and showed no injury from having
been removed. With each of these
trees he removed some earth with the
roots. The incident is fully voLched
for. and II a few similar experiments
produce like result, 1t will be a strong
argument to hortieulturists, etc., to do
much work at night. 7'f'''a

Fishing is here sport without labor.

at the end of the pole tells you bass or

the fishermen have attached little bells
to the poles to arouse their passengers,

through the shadows inside of the
Grenadier, or in Goose bay, or among
the islands in the Canadian channel, you
run ashore at noon for an island dinner.
From cubbies and baskets, your boat

that attempts at olackenipg Garield's
character will be signal failures, and will
be met by protests from such eminent

We made mention some weeks ago OF
the fact that letter had been prepared
and sent forward from this city to the
State Steamship Company at Glasgow,
Scotland, suggesting the name West Vir-
einia as the title OF the new steamer now
building by that company for service in
It's line between Glasgow and New York.
The company already has six steamers
aaoat named respectively, State Of Alabama,
State OF Florida, State OF Nevada, State OF
Georgia, State OF Indiana, and State Of
Pennsylvania.
For the seventh steamer, Mr.. James
Jepson, Of this city, suggested the name Of
"West Virginia." and besides sending a
suggestion to this effect to the office OF the
company at Glasgow, sent Prof. Maury's
Centennial exhibit of the States resources,
and also some local statistics in regard to
the city Of Wheeling. Yesterday he re-

LIT for the Campaign.
MARrINsBuRo, W. Va. June 18th.
Editors Intelllgencer.
A meeting OF the Republicans OF Mar
tinsburg was held at the Court House on
Wednesday evening last, TO arrange for
the formation OF a Garfeld.Arthur Club,
"ior the campaign" Notwithstanding
there had been no public notice given OF
the meeting, quite a large crowd was pres
ent, and the enthusiasm over the ticket
was immense. A committee was appoint
ed to prepare program, and during the
deliberations OF the committee the time
was occupied by several gentlemen in i'm
promptu ratification speeches.
Hon.lW. Il. II. Flick, who in "Lang
Syn" was pupil OF the next President"
spoke enthusiastically Of Gen. Garfield,
whom he believes to be one OF the best
and purest men tie country has ever pro-
duced. Mr.. F. remembers with dictinct-
ness much OF the distinguished statesman s
early life, to whom, also, the recently
published early predictions OF Gen. Gar
fields ultimate greatness are quite iami-
liar.
Messrs. ]. S. Haldeman, @. N. Shinn,
Geo. W. Feidt, r. NJ. Price, and w. d..
Clifford, the last named colored man,
and delegate to the late convention in
Wheeling, were successfully called upon,
and each responded in short speeches. all
expressing the greatest satisfaction with
the Chicago ticket. Very many OF the
more intelligent Democrats Of this COM
munity concede the great strength Of the
ticket, and express the belief that the Gin
cirnati Convention will find 1t difficult
matter to do better.
On motion OF @. n. Shinn, the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Republicans mere as.
sembled avail themselves OF this their first
opportunity OF publicly expressing their
hearty approval Of the Independence Of
aud appreciation Of the services rendered
the State by West Virginia's representa-
tives at Chicago.
Several committees were appointed by
the meeting to arrange for ratification
meeting, and July Sd was selected as the
time for the same, in order that the results
OF the Grafton Convention might be first
known. A Garfield and Arthur club will
be at that time organized.
The Graut men, the Blaine men and the
Sherman men here all heartily applaud
Garfield and Arthur, and great harmony
prevails, SPECTATOR.

A Plain story That brands Lewis Baker
with FnIschoOd.


II suits Lewis Baker, OF the Register
who is seeking to divert attention from
the miserable position in which he stands
in the eyes OF all honest men by virtue oil
the damaging disclosures touching his
monetary dealings with his party, to per
vert the truth in regard to other people.
He would, nave his readers believe that in
compliance with some threat Of expulsion
at Chicago the Editor OF this paper was
induced to abandon his refusal to pledge
himself to support the nominee of the
convention. Now let the facts speak for
themselves. Mr.. Conkling's resolution Of
expulsion was as follows:
Resolred, That the delegates who on this
roll call have voted mo" on this resolu-
ton do not deserve to have and have for
feited their votes in this Convention.
General applause.
After this resolution was submitted as
above, tue editor Of this paper in the
course Of his remarks upon it, distinctly
and emphatically declined to pledge him
self to support the nominee. His Ian
guage was as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, have been Republic
can in the State OF Virginia from my
youth. For twenty-five years have pub
iished a Republican newspaper in that
State. have supported every Presiden-
tiaI nominee in that time. expect to
support the nominee OF this Convention.
But, Mr.. Chairman, feel as Republic
can that there is a principle in this ques-
ton, and J tgiH nerer come into any COnuen-
ton and agree, boOre hand, hat IrhdteUer may
bedone byuidt COhreHtion shall hare my en-
dorSrma,t. Sir, rs a free man whom God
made free, always carry my sovereignty
under my own hat. never intend that
any body OF men shall take 1t from me.
The record will further show that after
these remarks Mr.. Conkling pushed for
ward his resolution Of expulsion. It will
also show how the resolution came to be
Withdrawn. We quote from the proceed
ings Of the Convention as follows:
Mr.. Pixley, Of California; have the
honor, very respectfully, to move that the
resolution be laid ON the table.
Senator Conkling-I beg to ask that the |
roll be called, that being test question.
The Chair, In its discretion, will direct |

Mr.. Campbell-1n the Language Of the
gentleman from New York, l congratulate

In addition to this extract from the
record we append the following extract
from dispatch of John W. Mason, the
member Of the National Republican Com
mittee from West Virginia, which was
published in the INrELueEScER OF June 5;
"Mr. Conkllng saw he had made great
mistake, and began seeking hole TO get
out. He enuuired whether he understood
the gentlemen from West Virginia cor
rectiy. They declined to make explains
tons. Mr.. Campbell again arose, and ad'
dressing Mr.. Conkling in manner which
expressed determination to stick to the
right let the consequences be what they
might, declared he had no explanation te
make; that the gentleman from New York
had seen fit to make the issue and the
convention might decide It.
When confronted by these determined
men and this emphatic refusal TO explain
or retreat, nothing was left for the great
machinist but square back down, which
he did most ingloriously, amidst the
shouts Of ten Thousand people, by with
drawing his resolution. Every one seemed
to enjoy the discontinue of.Mr. Conkling

Burned Bones for Hens.

You can hardly give to much burned
bones to your hens to provide the neces-
sary amount of lime for eggshells, and
the next best thing for that purpose Is
oyster shells, which can be obtained by
the barrel land generally without cost
except taking away at hotels or restau-
rants In your nearest town. My new
tenant goes eighteen miles for them and
considers them cheap at that. The hens
eat them when pounded into fragments
as easily as they pick up the shelled corn
and they furnish the needed material
for the egg-shell more completely than
anything else. lido not quite believe in
giving broken earthenware as some pro-
pose doing. The sharp corners are more
likely to cut or otherwise injure the crop
than the more easily dgested oyster
shells. Poultry Yard.
