1923, 3,96444. Itwas waggishly remarked
before the nominations were made that
some one of the candidates before the cleo
ton would be charged with numbering his
grand mother. 1t has not turned out quite
that bad, but Mr.. English has been charged
with the next thing to it, robbing his
grandmother or rather her heirs. 1t is
simply the other OK getting gored. Mr..

an insignifcantly small sum without any

A LEADING paper of another denomina'
ton in speaking of the proceedings and
expositions of the recent Pan.Presbyterian
council held in Philadelphia, says:
awe have long seen the evidence that
there was more sound theological opinion
in the Presbyterian Church than in any
other denomination, with the single excep'
ton of our own"
The stalvart attitude of this church in
these days of liberalism" challenges the

Down in Georgia they do things differ
emily from what they do in Delaware. The
educational interests of the coIored people
are carefully and successfully looked after.
In 1873, in the public school enrolment,
there were 19,775 coiored pupils; in 1874,
1884; in 1875, 50,35S; in 1876, 56,S97; in
1877, $3.50. The colored people have now
a university of their own in Atlanta, which
receives precisely the same State aid as
that given to the old university of the
State. If the DeIaparean is any authority
the Democrats of that State (who have the
complete control of the State matters there
as they have here) are "radicals and in
favor Of negro equality" We think, how.
ever, that the people of Georgia lift the
subject of education above party, to the
higher plane Of a more intelligent and
consequently more useful citizenship. They
have somehow found out there is differ
ence between q man and a mule, whicE
the Delasoarsaa hasn't.

The estimates of the wheat crop for
the country at large, 4S8,OOO,O0O, are said to
be too large. Later and more careful esti'
mates now place the total production at

United States last year was in round mum.

that the requirement for home consump-
ton from this years crop will be 6l,OOO,-
600 bushels. On this basis, and taking the
total out-turn at ass, 100000 bushels, there
will remain about l84,O00,000 surplus for
export from the wheat crop of 1880.

The Lottery managers are as persistent
in their efforts at business as is the whisky
ring. Postmaster.G General Key some months
ago shut down on their use of the mails.
An earnest effort has subsequentlybeen made
upon Mr.. Maynard his successor, but as the
mail was their principal vehicle of carrying
on an immoral and fraudulent business, it
was denied. Policy shops, however, still
thrive to a limited extent in the cities and
when '.jerked up" have readily paid the
fine and gone on again. Judge Cowing of
New York has adopted new method. He
has sentenced one lottery dealer to ninety
and another to sixty days in the Peniten
tiary. A little imprisonment goes great
way with such characters. The Grand
Jury of that city has also found indictments
against the papers that have advertised lot
teries.

A PROFOUND surprise was occasioned in
court room in Patterson, N. j., the other
day-a lawyer arose and asked the forgive
ness of the Court for having as counsel sued

rulings of the Court with deserved grace
and obedience. This is said to be the first
instance on record where lawyer has

The product of the Cinchona tree in
some form has become the specific for
febrile diseases not only here but through
out the civilized world. The absolute
necessity for quinine and the fact that the
market was controlled by monopolists
caused Congress to remove the duty, but
the decline has not been very marked.
The supply has heretofore come alone from
the interior of South America, but an at
tempt to domesticate the tree in certain
districts of India and Ceylon has proved
entirely successful and the yield of bark, it
is said there, is already so plentiful that
the price of quinine has been reduced to
81 cents per ounce and to so cents pei
ounce for preparations Of inferior quality.

The Cabbage Flea,

II. Co." Simmons, Mich. This is often
very destructive in the seeded, and where
it is known to abound, it is best to antici-
pate their coming and just as soon as the
young plants appear-whcn they first break
through the soil, give them dressing of air
slakcd lime, or amiXturc of ashes and plaster.
Equal parts of unleaohed ashes, sifted to re-
move bits ofcoal, and land plaster, thoroughly
mixed together, and kept in dry place, is
not only useful to keep off small insects, but
in its application the soil is benefited. Mar
ket gardeners, near New York, use shell lime
for this purpose; it is exposed to the air until
slaked, and then kept closely covered; where
shell-lime can not be had, ordinary or stone
lime will answer; the other is only prefera-
BILE because it malesa finer powder, Either
of these sifted over the young plants, SO as to
cover them with the dust, is the mo effective
remedy thus far found for the little beetle,
which, from its ability to jump, is popularity
known as FLEA" Where but few cab
bagc plants are required, they may be raised
IN boxes elevated five or six feet above the
ground; this distance being too great for the
leaping powers of the insect.

A CLEVER TRICK.-Sanerant relates the
following .anecdote of Schwartz famous
German painter. Having been engaged to
paint the ceiling of the Town Hall at Munich
by the day, his love of dissipation induced him
to neglect his duties, and the magistrates and
overseers of the work were frequently obliged
to hunt him out of the tavern. As he could
no longer drink in quiet, he stuffed an image
ofhimself, left the legs hanging down between
the staging, where he was accustomed to
work, and sent one of his boon companionsto
move the image little two or three times
day, and to take it away at noon and night
BY means of this deception he drank, without
the least disturbance, for whole fortnight
together, the innkeeper being aware of the
plot The officers came round twice day to
look after him, and, seeing the well-known
stockings which he was accustomed to wear,
suspected nothing wrong, and went their

Ashes as n Fertilizer.

A Garrattsville IN. " correspondent of
the C0uRhy Gentleman writes on this by no
means new subject: After using ashes on
my farm for many years, both leached and
unleached, consider them valuable fcrti-
lizer for grass or grain / have used large
quantities of leachcd ashes, generally apply
ing them to land to be seeded down | first
prepare the ground for sowing, then spread
100 or $50 bushels ofeached ashes to the acre
then sow wheat, barley or oats, as the case
may be, and seed down. narrowing thorough
", and when the crop natures | am always
pleased with the result. use fifty bushels Cf
unleached ashes to the acre. Ashes, whether
leached or uncached, make very fine top
dressing for meadows and pastures, and in
every case where have used them the result
for grain or grass has been satisfactory, there
being large increase in both quantity and
quality of the grain or grass
My mode of using ashes for corn, is to an
ply them to the top ofthe hill, before the corn
comes up. AS soon as the corn is planted, /
put about n gill of unlcached ashes on the
top of each hill, always preferring to get my
corn ashcd before rain, so that the first
shower will carry hcpolash from the ashes
down into the hill, for the corn roots to feed
upon. apply in the same way for potatoes.
1t takes, as | apply them, from fifteen to
twenty bushels to the acre, and | think the
ashes thus are worth half dollar per bushel.
am satisfied that ashes either leached or UNI
lcached, are the best fertilizer the farmer can
use. For immediate effects know nothing
that is equal to them, and they are also last
ing. They do not leach through the soil like
manure, but after an application is made to
grass or grain, the following crops for many
years will show the result
should judge that the relative value of
leached ashes would be one-hali that of I'M
leached. While the teaching ofashes extracts
most of the potash from the ashes, it leaves
them rich with nitre, which az fertilizer is
very valuable. 1t is claimed that to mix
ashes and plaster together, makes the mix
ture worthless, the one neutralzing the ferti.
lizing qualities of the other. Ifany one doubts
it he can try it, and satisfy himself.

WHITE POPPIES.


mystic, mighty flower, whose frail white leaves,
Silky and crumpied like a banner furled,
Shadow the black mysterious seeds that yields
The drop that soothes and lulls restless world {;
Nepenthes for our woe, yet swift to kill,
Holding the knowledge of both good and i'll.
The rose for beauty may outshine thee far
The lily hold herself like some sweet saint
Apart from earthly grief, as is star
Apart from any fear of earthly taint
The snowy poppy like an angel stands
With consolation in her open hands.
Ere History was born, the poets sung
How godlike Thone knew thy compelling pow
er,
And ancient Ceres, by strange SORROWS wrung,
Sought sweet oblivion from thy healing flower.
Giver of Sleep! Lord of the Land of Dreams
U simple weed, thou art not what man deems.
The cear-eyed Greeks saw oft their God of
Sleep
Wandering about through the black midnight
hours,
Soothing the restless couch with slumbers deep,
nj, And scattering thy indicated flowers,
III hands were folded for their final rest
Clasping White Poppies DER pulseess breast
We have clearer vision every hour
Kind hearts and hands the poppy juices mete
And painting sufferers bless its kindly power,
And weary ones invoke its peaceful sleep.
Health has its Rose and Grape and joyful Palm
Inc Poppy to the sick is wine and balm.
