conditions are favorable. The onion re-
quires rather light, loamy soil made
mellow by plough or spade. Formerly
it was the rule to grow them on the
same land many years in succession,
but many of the best growers have
abandoned this practice, and now change
about every second or third year.
The land should be heavily manured
with we'll rotted dressing, with wood
ashes if it can be had, all of which
should be turned under. The land
should then be we'll raked over and
made smooth, and as free as possible
from Jumps. The seed should be sown
as early as possibl after the soil is suita-
bic TO work. Sow in driIls about four
teen to sixteen inches apart, and pu
the seed about half an inch deep. This
work can be done with a seed sower,
and the seed should be sown quite thick
ly so as to allow for some loss by in
sects. If there are too many plants
LETT it will not be difficult 10 remove
them, but if the land has been thorough
ly enriched they may be left pretty
near together-say an inch apart. No
weeds should be allowed to grow. The
work of keeping them down can be
mostly done with scuffle hoe, and
very rapidly too.
There are many varieties, but one of
the best, if not the very best, is the
Danvers yellow, variety that is large
ly cultivated in Essex county and has
sold we'll in Boston market. The large
red and silver skin are sorts that do
well and find ready market, but still
we give the preference to the Danvers.
These varieties should yield under good
cultivation six to eight hundred bushels
to the acre, and sell from seventy five
cents to dollar bushel. We know of
nothing that can be used that will
effectually prevent the ravages of the
maggot or mildew. One must take the
chances. We know of few more prof.
table crops than the onion.-NeV En-

English View OF Webster's Speeches.
London Spectator.

1t is singularly free from what we are
forced to consider the besettipg sins of
Irish oratory. Nothing could be more
shallow or unjust than to charge it, as
one of our contemporaries has done,
with "spread-eagleism." In every line
we trace evidence of conviction wishing
to convince. and of that sincerity and
patriotism, that love of truth and love
of country, which are the wings of po-
litical oratory. We think, also, that moth
ing can be more unfair or absurd than
to sneer at Bunker Hill and New Or
leans. In the latter engagement the
defeated English were veterans from
the army which Wellington said could
go anywhere and do anything; and if
they were grievously mismanaged, as
no doubt they were, they were not more
grievously mismanaged than the French
cavalry were at Waterloo. The Amerl-
cans regard Bunker Hill as their Mara
thon, and they are right in doing so.

CETYwAIo, the dethroned Zulu mon
arch, according to a Cape paper, is en-
gagged in making mental notes. He
has calculated that each charge fired
bv the foreign men-of-war in Table Bay
in saluting the fort was of the value of
an OK. He also concludes that it is
more expensive to keep up armaments
in Europe than in Zululand. His
Majesty also regards the queens con-
duct in not answering bis message OF
contrition as showing a great lack Of
courtesy.

A Fact Not Generally Known.
Syracuse IN. " Courier

1t is fact not generally known that
silver coins with holes bored or punch
ed IN them will not be received at the
treasury. By punching large hole in
silver dollar from five to thirteen
cents worth ofsilver is taken out. In
dividuals rarely refuse to accept these
mutllated coins, as they pass readily.
Manufacturers who obtain large guam
titles of silver suffer the most by the
mutilation of coin, as the defective
pieces cannot be exchanged for certifi
Gates or greenbacks at the Office of the
treasury or sub-treasury. The penalty
for traudulently mutilating coins is
fine of not more than $4,000 and i'm
prisonment of not more than two
years.

No Thine For Fault Finding:

We arc always 10th to find fault with
any OF our leaders or officials, for
cnrping criticism is fruitful source Of
disruption and disorganization: Yet
we must express our dissent from the
course pursued by tho Hon. ID. WYATT
Aiken II, his recent speech in Antlcr-
Sons If reported correctly, Colonel
Aiken arraigncd the Northern Dcmoc-
racy for insinccrity and prejudice and
lllibcrality in granting appropriations,
dna added tliat tho better class Of
Northern people arc Republicans. lie
dld not wiati the Southern Democracy
to be governed by tho Northern wing.
NUw, it riihy lii that the Northern
Democrats arc slii,gy in granting
subsidies and appropriations; and it is
true that the Republicans arc the
dominant party North Yet this is
not the time To stir up any iil-ioclngs
in the party. IL will take every North
crn Democrat, whatever he be, to
elect .llancock, and the election Of
Hancock is much moro iihportant than
harbor appropriation or u Mexican
pension. This same stinyincss is the
strong card of tho Democrats before
the independent voter Of tho North,
who ccnSur"s Rep, bfcun cxtrava-
hncc. And as the chief cry OF the stall
warts is that the South will rUut the
treasury itit gets Into power, how can
Northern DEMOCRATS, being in the
minority In the North; do anything
else than sit down OH any appropria-
tions. And the South by complaining
OF this so-called' stingincss gives list
grounds for the charge Of grcctincss
innde against her.
Again, some Of the noblcst men of
the North arc enrolled in the Demo-
cratic party. Their skirts arc clean.
while leading Radicals, with but few
exceptions arc not without rcproach.
IL Ill becomes Southern Democrats to
rcvilc their Northern allies. Still
worse when IL Democratic Congress-
man who, by virtut Of his Office, is
charged with tho welfare Of the Ma
t1onal party, takes OCCASION to enter Il
Wedge that may split it to pieces.
.We have never d6ubtcd Colonel
Aiken's' sincerity or patriotism. But
his Judgment is badly at fault. The
South has lost mucl, by the indiscrc
tion OF her public men. She cannot
hflord TO let them repeat their mis-
tsikcs.
