Commenting edltorially upon the results,

Comments geditorially upon the results,
the Journal says:
The strength Of Sherman among the Re-
publicans Of Indiana is a great surprise to
many, and especially following, as the in
terview does, 80 soon after his report recon-
mending tho abolition OF the legal tender
quality Of the greenbacks IS to all con,
tracts made subsequent to the passage OF
the act. 1t is also a noteworthy fact that
a large number OF those who are opposed
to Sherman's nomination base their oppos-
ition mainly on his want OF availability,
and the class that prefer him as the nomi-
nee are largely business men, and not the
most active in politics.
1t is o matter OF still greater surprise to
advocates OF Grants nomination that the
opposition to him is so great, and mainly
based on q conscientious opposition TO q
third term.

Not So Much of a Joke,

From the Atlanta (Ga.) Consti-
u'Ion: Probably there has never
pecn so much excitement among
ne best society OF Toccoa as there
Is at present, and ali because of a
double marriage which occurred
recently AT the residence OF jus
nee OF the peace in South Carolina
only few miles from Toccoa. All
parties concerned were residents of
Toccoa. 1t appears that the two
couples went across the line to Wis
1t the family of the justice and
Vhile there were paired off accord
ing to their choice. They intended
The whole matter as a joke, believ
ing that the matrimonial laws of
south Carolina were the same as in
Georgia, and that marriage was
not valid unless a license had been
taken out.
Upon their return home the coup
les told their friends of what they
mad done. Much to their surprise
they were informed that according
to the laws OF the Palmetto state a
license was not necessary to make q
marriage valid, and that although
the marriages were intended to be
mock ceremonies, each couple would
have to abide the consequences or
sue for a divorce and separate in
that way. Now, itappears that two
of those who participated were en-
gagged TO other parties, and in con-
sequence feel somwhat set back and
don't know what course to pursue.
1t is understood that one of the
couples agreed to let matters stand

the other couple there is stro. G

A Beautiful Experiment.

Perhaps some of the boys and
girls may be interested in the fol.
lowing experiment. 1t is easily
performed, and will give some idea
of the manner in which crystals are
formed, Remember that the solu.
ton is q poison, and must be kept
where it cannot possibly be taken
by mistake: Procure from an apoth
ecary halt an ounce of sugar OF
lead, sometimes called lead acetate.
Put this into a wide mouthed bottle
Ian empty horse radish bottle will
do well-snd fill nearly full with
water. When the sugar of lead is
all dissolved, push two or three
pieces of copper wire into the cork,
and let them run down into the
LIQUID in the bottle. Il Bend the
lower ends into hooks, and hang on
them 3 small piece of sheet zinc,
taking care that it touches all the
wires. After the bottle has stood
for q few hours, crystals of lead
form upon the lower, ends OF the
wires. These rapidly increase. and
soon the entire bottle is filed with
beautiful fern like crystals. Look.
ing carefully at them, the branches
are all found to start out at the
same angle, thus showing that the
force which produced them acts
in the same direction I

Guinea Fowls,

Guinea fowls are a more profita-
bic fowl than is generally supposed.
They are good egg producers, lay
ing on an average from so to loo
per annum. AS a table fowl they
are very superior, their flesh being
of rare delicacY The hens do not
begin to sit until about August,
consequently their first eggs should
be placed under a common hen.
The period of incu baton is twenty
six days. Guinea chicks are
amongst the easiest to raise. The
first few days they should be kept
from wandering by penning them
up closely, and should be fed like
ordinary chicks. When they have
been somewhat hardened they may
be set at liberty, when they will
prove to be good foragers. 1t is
difficult to distinguish the sex of
the young chicks, but this may be
determined by watching their move
ments, and from the fact that the
wattles of the male are somewhat
larger than those of the female.
