nomination for the Presidency In the
national convention of that year he rooeivcd
1443 votes. Again, in 1876, ho received
at tho st. Louis convention seventy ivo
votes for tho same nomination. 1t will be

w. III. English, Of Indiana.

Mr.. English is somewhat less known to
Southern readers than his namesako of
Connecticut, but he is u Democrat of un-
stained reputation, aud his war record is
nnassaiablo. uo makes capital second
to Hancock, and adds material strength to
tho ticket in tho West, and especially in
his own State, in which he has never been
beaten for uny Office for which he has ap-
pearcd before the people. If his usual
good luck attends him in the present cou-
lndiana's fifteen Electoral votes will be
scored for tho Democratic ticket, increasing
by SO many the indisputablo majority which
is now certain to place once moro consti
tutionally elected President in tho White
House.
William II. Epglish was born in Scott
County, Indiana, August II, 1922. Ho
received gooI common school education,
and spent thrco years ut tho University of

Old farmer B is a stingy man,

by all his friends he is said to be
As tight as the bark OF Il young birch tree.

But the dimes he gives to the Lord are few;
II he gets to Heaven with the good and great,
lie Will be let in by the smallest gate.
Now farmer b, besides drags and plows
Keeps number of fine calves and cows;
lie makes no butter. but sends by express
The milk to the citys thirstiness.
What do the city folks know about milk?
They are better judges of cloth and silk;
Not Il man who buys. can tell

II they do not know then where's the sin?

For his thoughts were all for the choking COW.

4 tropical letter from Mr.. James l.. /
Forbes, who is described as an American
gentleman residing in the East Indies,
where for many years he has had charge
Of ea-garden Of 600 acres. The letter
was written more than year aoO, and
addressed to the Secretary of the Com
mittee on South Carolina Coast Lands,
and few days ago it was handed to the
Agricultural Society of South Carolina at
a meeting when the feasibility of utilizing
the abandoned coast lands Of that State
| for the culture of tea was under discus
sion. According 20 Mr.. Forbes, who as
sumes to speak with authority, climate,
| soil, and rainfall are all favorable in the
district alluded to, and only capital and
enterprise are needed to make the cult
walton Of tea Il remuncratiyc industry.
! Mr. Forbes details the methods of plant
ing, cultiyating, picking, rolling, firing
and sorting, and estimates that he could
land tirst-class South Carolina teas in
Europe at cost OF from IL cents TO l8
cents pound, and he claims that his
Judgment ought to have some value, as
the annual out-tWn from his plantation
amounts to 24O,OO0 pounds. He offers
also to furnish tea seed Of the very best
quality.
The action taken by the Society was
characteristic. 1t did not resolve to send
for seed and set about producing th(
cheering beverage. But it instructed the
Senators and Representatives from South
Carolina to urge Congress to vote a gram
Of money for the establishment of an cx
detrimental tca-tarm near Charleston.
may be that the South Carolina Agricul
tural Society would have frmcr faith il
the deliverances Of Mr. Forbes if hi
knowledge Of South Cardinals ''soil
climate and rainfall had been expert
mental, instead Of having been communi
Gated to him by the Coast Lands sccrctar

tea culture was a response. But, atte

Ex-Governor Seymour's address before
the New York State Agricultur Society
was thoughtful discussion of the rela-
tons of the farming interests to the re-
cent revival of prosperity, and con-
sideration Of the contingencies of the
future. Mr. Seymour makes the cautious
suggestion that the people of Europe
have heretofore been able to raise, under
ordinary circumstances, most of the food
they need, and asks why they may not
hereafter, in the absence of the extra
ordinary events which have produced the
recent demand, raise, 'with the same labor
and SOIL" the same large proportion as be-
fore Of the amount cf food needed ''Why
can we expect, with ordinary seasons,
that we can sell them more than we have
done in past years! that although we
may raise grain and make provisions for
less than they can, will not the effect of
this be merely to reduce the price which
farmers will get, and not the amount
which they will produce" The point is
worth consideration, at least. Every one
familiar with Mr.. Seymour'srecord, or who
reads his plea in this address for steadily
liberal policy toward the canals, knows
his warm interest in the prosperity of the
farmers.

Uses Of Grass.

Grass, it seems, is to have more uses
than were accorded to it some years ago,
and is fit for something else than keeping
''soul and body" together in the~quad-
ruped. Some entcrprising individual has
discovered that it can Manufactured
into paper pulp and paper, and he has
obtained Il patent Tor it. Any Of the
common grass toaud in the field, lawn or
meadow may be used, and it is claimed
that the green grass pulp produced from
them nfay he manufactured into paper Of
great strength and length of fibre, and
tcnacity, softncss and ticXibi-
ity and further, that this paper is even
softer and more transparent than that
made Of linen. Some one, who processes
to know whereof he speaks, says that the
invention is also valuable one OF the
score of economy. ''Since one square foot
of ground gives, in the whole year, from
o. to l.5 Of pound Of green grass,
making from 80, 1872 to Gj.34O pounds to
the acre. One pound Of green grass
makes One-fourth to One-siXth of pound
dried equivalent to IL $40 pounds dried
grass to an acre Finally, one pound of
dried grass gives about onc-third to one
fourth of pound Of fine, bleached, and
finished paper, or 2,9ll pounds of finish
cd paper to the acre" Here is an oppor-
tunity for opening markets for the grass

KANSAS LIME.-It would be difficult to
fix a limit to tho resources of this country.
Every year some natural product is
brought to notice. Among the most re-
markable of late is {" Kansas native lime"
1t Is found lying in great beds, is of a
beautiful white color, and of very fine
grained texture. 1t is soft, smooth and
readily made into plastic condition by
the admixture of suitable quantity of
sand and water. The mortar thus made
has apparently identical qualities to the
best mortar as made from superior lines
selected from kilns where the lime rock
had been employed for burning had been
of the very purest nature. According to
workmen and artisans in Kansas this
mortar serves as good purposes as any
other styles of mortar, and even better
than some for nice inside work. 1t soon
sets and hardens, and turns to an intense
whiteness. 1t makes an admirable white
wash.--Phild. Evening NacS.

1t is not impossible that good part of
the one hundred millions of dollars worth
of sugar now brought into this country
yearly from abroad may ultimately be pro
duced at home. The maple tree supplies
an annually increasing yield, and be0tcul,
ture for sugar making is attracting general
attention. Sorghum row bids fair to come
to the front with saccharine possibilities
that, according to tests recently raade in
the West, may revolutionize the whole
sugar interest. The common corn stalk.
too, is about to enter the field with its
granulated sweetness.

 --The Arkansas school journal, pub lished by the Kellogg Printing com- pany, of Little Rock, with J. K. Wealth. CTS as editor, has been received. It is model of typographical aeatness, and it's reading matter chaste and ele~ vating. The subscription price Is q per year, and it is we'll worth the n on, ~.
 I've have received with the compli~ ments of Hon. D. ". Lear, his Biennial report as state land commissioner, showing the business transacted dur ing the two fiscal years ending Sept. 30th, 1880. The report is adm;rs5iy arranged, besides being full and com plete, and shows that this department is one of inestimable importance to our state. Under the excellent man agement of the present incum- bent the business of the office has large ly increased, insomuch that the per- quisitss of the office during the past two years have paid the state $9,S2l.4S more than it cost to run it.

 THEY MEAN BUSINESS.
The Consolidation Agreement of the Kansas City and New Or
 leans Railroad Company.

An article appeared in the Gazette several days ago in which the pro- posed consolidation of several Arkan- sas railroads was mentioned. Since that time the proprietors of the en- terpriss have been actively engaged in consummating the consolidation, and the result of their labors, in the shape of a consolidation agreement, was filed yesterday with the secre- tary of state.
 By this agreement, the Arkansss and northern, the Philadelphia, Hot Springs and Dardanelle, the Ouachi- ta Valley, the Camden and Eldorado and the Monroe and North Louisiana railroad companies, consolidate their lands, property, franchises, etc, in one organization, to be known as "The Kansas City and New Orleans railroad company" The object of the company is to make . continuous line of railroad from Missouri state line, in Boone county, thence south as near as may be through Harrison, Russellville, Hot Springs, Arkadel- hpia, Camden and Eldorado, to Mon roe, in Ouachita parish, Louisiana.
 The capital stock is limited to SAP, 900 per mile cfrailroad actually con structed, in shares of $I00. The board of directors are given power to borrow money to complete the road, but not to exceed $22,000 per mile. The agreement between the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf road and tho Ouachita Valley road, IS ratified as the act also of the consolidated company.
 The following gentlemen will act as directors until an election: Mir. s. M. Lawson, Governor William R. Miller, Mir. John F. Hume, Mir. w. F. Henderson. Mir. Robert H. Weems, Mir. A. A. Pennington, Mir. Newman Erb, Mir. George w. Caruth and Mir. J. T. Brown, ir. The officers of the company, until an election, will be as follows: President, Governor w. R. Miller; vice.president, Mir. New man Erb; treasurer and secretary, Mfr. J. T. Brown, jr.
 The board of directors have power to contract for the construction of the entire line. The high character of the gentlemen in the enterprise and the presence of several eastern capitalists in the company speak well for the speedy completion of the road. --G Gazette.
