General Garfield is DOW known to have
been secretly working for his nomination
for months before the Chicago convention
met. It is now established that his be-
trayal of Secretary Sherman was deliber
ately planned and sneakingiy executed. It
is characteristic of Garfield to be hypo-
critical. and in this case be has not fallen
below his average. But what must Sher
mans friends think of such man? What
can any one see in such dishonorable con-
duct to awaken respect? Like Judas
Iscariot, he saluted his master. while yet
he was planning that masters downfall.
In vain will Garfield sue for peace-in
vain try to explain-it will not make mat.
ters, better. Senator Conkling describes
him as born hypocrite." and can not
conceal his disgust for the man who, while
protesting friendship for Sherman. and
acting in the capacity of his trusted direc-
tor in the convention. deliberately betrayed
him. Garfield is lacking in that morality
which makes an honorable man. He is weak.
schemipg and tricky, and will not draw a
vote outside his party ranks, and viii lose
thousands of votes from his own party
among those who detest the man for his
treachery to his friend Sherman.

VICKsBURG, Miss, July S,-The true
political aspect of the south, particularly
the section of the Mississippi valley, so
far ms local and district elections aFs con-
cerned, is rather doubtful. Five years
ago there were acknowledged Republican
majorities where for two or three years
past the Democrats have had walk over.
The 'sshoe string" district of Mississippi
where the preponderanee of population is
black land, of course, Republican, elected
janice r. Chalmers, Democrat, to con-
gress. This section is now struggling to
elect Republican against Chalmers, re-
nomipated by the Democracy. 1t would
have been easy work had the domination
of Grant been made at Chicago. To cay

SAVE Your MoNEY.-The earl OF
Derby, one of the foremost statesmen OF
England, on recent public occasion.
made the following remark:
"You will sometimes hear people talk
young people especially-as if there
was something mean and poor about
the habit of frugality, and as if suuap-
dering were the habit of a generous ma
ture. If ever that fallacy is uttered in
your hearing, just put your foot upon
it and trample it out"
There is a world of wisdom in this
brief remark, of which young men
should take heed. Every young man
who saves part of his income, whatev-
er the amount of his income NAV he. is
more respected for so doing. 1t shows
a habit of self-denial which strengthens
his whole character, and makes it more
manly, bolder and more elevated.
In spending what you do spend. and
ought to spend, says the Ledger, spend
1t freely and generOusly-not ali for
yourself. Never show a mean and mi
serly spirit, and the way not to show if
is not to possess it. But on the other
hand, let no temptation to souande,
ever interfere with the habit and the
rule-which should be infiexible-to law
aside something.

Hints for Spring Gardening.

Spring is the seediest season of the
year.
Umbrellas flourish best in a rich.
moist soil, and expand during heavy
showers.
Germs are generally planted about a
foot apart, but sometimes there NAV be
five or six in single bed.
Poppies are house plant, and yield
rhino to the children.
The devil is the best raised at night
in bar room, with plentiful top whis-
key.
Balloons will raise themselves if let
alone.
The horse radish should not be con-
founded with reddish horse.
Raisins are best planted in puddings.
and frequently result in "raising" indi-
gestions.
Poor authors are generally grown in
garrets, and subsist indifferently on
pure air.
Rents are generally raised in the
spring.
Now plant your stovepipes in a eel
lar.
The heaviest article in the Christian
world to raise, is church debt. There
are few things so hard to raise at anv
season as "the wind.n A subsoil of az.
surance and top-dressing of cheek an
swers best. Put not thy trust in ounces
Peas at any price. Nota Bene! Old
