Our readers remember Mr.. Mason's
Ferry was stopped for upwards Of year by
an injunction obtained by the L. s. whereby
he sustained a loss Of several thousand dollars.
His friends are grat6ed that it is proposed TO
indemnify him for his losses which were very
severe The following Bill speaks for itself,
aud 10 this community, where the facts Of this
case are wel-known, it is the very general
opinion that this measure deserves the effective
support Of our representatives, a. Washington.

the present Congress provided it receives the
requisite attention

Plow the ground in April, or first of
May, and sow three-fourths bushel buck
wheat per acre. Fit the soil thorough

blossom In June, when it should be roll

Not later than July 10th reduce the sur
face to good seed bed and SOW three
fourths bushels buckwheat to the acre

be in perfect blossom soon enough to
turn under and prepare the ground for
wheat / have had the second crop

of bringing up worn-out soil is not ex-

hilly not easy of access and remote from

been the key to success in bringing

The wheat crop ought to be "top-dress-
ed'' with from three to five wagon loads
per acre of well rotted manure. Such
land ought always to be plowed for
wheat long enough before sowing to set
tie and pack down solid. Then harrow
until mellow, roll, and drill one-half
bushel pure wheat per acre. All this
requires work and the man who would
recuperate worn-out soil without hard
labor, is in a. hopeless condition and
needs no advice.
This year we have harvested one hun

bushels per acre. If this had been Fultz

How to Clean Soapsuds

Housekeepers who are limited in their
supply of good washing water can make
it do double duty by dissolving alum in
hot water, and throwing it into tub of
soapsuds. In moment the soap will
curdle, and accompanied by muddy par
ticles will sink to the bottom, leaving
the water perfectly clear and devoid of
the smell of soap. This water can be
used for washing second time if pour
ed off the sediment. Where water is
scarce, this fact is invaluable.

it, too. But he don't read any papers.

Chocolate Caramels.

Boil one quart of good New Orleans
molasses until it hardens when tested
by cooling little of it in water as be-
fore described. Just before removal
from the fire, add four ounces of choco-
late finely and uniformly grated. Pour
thin layer into tin trays slightly greas-
ed, and when the surface of the candy
has become hardened little, mark with
knife into squares. They may be fla
vored, but the natural flavor of the cho-
colate and molasses is generally prefer
red without any addition.

yHF NEW-Y0RK EXPOSITION

TheId is no reason why the New York Inter
national Exposition should not be broadly sue
ceSslul,, for the project in its nature Is one to
which the practical genius of the American
people is admirably adapted In spite Of some
mistakes, the display at Philadelphia was a
direct contribution to the science of Exhibition
giving, and the New York Fair should mail Il
still further advance. In order to insure sue
cess it should be popular in the best sense OF
the word. Every man and woman in the
country has a direct interest in the project
and it should enlist the support and sympathy
of all classes, and not be dependent upon Gov
eminent aid, National, State, OF Municipal, nor
upon any close corporation whose interests
point In a single direction. To this end it is
of prime imp Ortance that the stock should be
widely distributed. If the shares were made
worth $40 each, subscribers to the amount of
Sl00 or less should be sufficiently numerous to
prevent a dozen absorbeIs from establishing
pool which would give them controlling in
terest. AS matter of fact, some 100000
WAS subscribed at the banks in Philadelphia
before the first meeting Of the Centennial
Finance Committee. The Government stocks
of France are largely in the hands of small
n0lueIS, DeCduso luc pcOplO hnNo i"i1H All thO
Government. If the people in this country
are assured of the success OF the Newly Ex-
blbltion they will subscribe with the same
liberality.
To inspire them with confidence il will be the
first duty of the Commission, which meets hei o
In q few days, to appoint as treasurer and
chief financial and executive officers men of
known administrative ability and of recognized
integrity and trustworthiness. Popular interest
dies and popular effort is paralyzed whenever
any undertaking depends largely upon mu
nicipal action, because the people have become
disheartened at the wastefulness incapacity,
and inefhciency Of municipal management In
telligent, prompt, and straightfoi wand action by
the Commission will win popular confidence at
once, and generate public sentiment in SYM
pathy with the undertaking. which is the only
basis and guarantee of complete success.

rOgv1yG THE LINE or B1TTLE

A fact comes hike a nipping frost on the
tumid growths of Democratic brag. They
have talked till they actually began to
believe it themselves. about the lukewarm
support Of the Republican ticket, the apathy
of the Republican masses, the discomfort
of the leaders, the jealousy of Blame and
Sherman, the sullen hostility OF Grant
the pending revolt of COnklmg and his
support ers, and the alarming dissatisfaction
throughout the State of New-YoTk.
General Garfield passes rapidly through the
State on his way to business meet
ing in this city; and from Buffalo to
Yonkers his route is lined with enormous
crowds gathered almost on the instant,
and ablaze with enthusiasm. In all its
civic history Buffalo has had but one demon

The Departmental elections in France have
given the Republicans control of seventy of
the ninety Councils-General. This is a re-

The elections are of minor Importance, since
the Councillors who will vote next January

outnumbered by the municipal representa-

for the most effective conduct Of the cam
palgn.
There is every reason why the Republican,
marty should thus unite with more 'han
its usual beartiness, and with only generous
rivalry between contending factions as
to which shall be foremost in good
work. General Garfield is the can
didate of no faction, and he stoou
in the way of no rival. lie was
nominated as spontaneous choice
and as relief from dead
lock. He was the one man they found they
could agree upon, and they took NM
not as dark horse, but as the
Republican statesman. not seeking the place,
whom they knew best, liked the most ana
thought the strongest. His choice was
the special defeat of nobody else, ana
the friends of each candidate can feel
that in supporting him they are supporting
not successful rival. but fairly-chosen
substitute. This attitude too, gives hihl
special advantages for the campaign. lie Is
under obligations to 10 faction, and can DC
fair 10 all. He had to make no COM
initials before his nomination. and DE
has been wise enough to make no
promises since. Not human being has
from him the promise of anything,
in case of his election. His obligations
and his promises are to the Republican party
at large. Those the whole Country knows,
and knows he will keep.
