opened the way for Democratic VIC
tory. The nomination was unex-
pected ; it had never been seriously
considered by the Republican par
", and it was done by sort Of
accident in the general stampede.
The manner Of his nomination was
similar to that of Hayes in 1875.
But there is this difference between
the nominee in 1876 and the nomi-
nee in 1880: Hayes had q good re-
cord: Garfield has not-he has
been mixed up with some Of the
most corrupt jobs that have dis
graced the National Legislature.
His connection with the Credit Mo-
bilier and the DeGolyer Paving
Company swindles have been proved
beyond any possibility of success
ful denial. Indeed, so clear is the
proof that Garfield has gotten upon
his dignity and declared that he
will pay no attention to the ''oft-
repeated SANDERS His friends
cannot help him. He goes into the
campaign on the defensive, and g
defensive campaign is a very up
hill business. Hayes, with his spot
less record, was counted in by
barely one vote; he was really
beaten by an electoral majority of
19 and popular majority Of over
a quarter Of a million. What can
Garfield expect, then, with has re-
cord? IF the righteous scarce
" be saved, where shall the wicked
and ungodly appear?" All that is
necessary now to secure success is
a good Democratic candidate.
It is our belief that there is
very large proportion Of the Repub-
iean party that would be glad to
see Garfield defeated that Grants
friends will give the nominee as
little support as possible consistent
with their party fealty. They can
not forget their ignominious defeat
in the Convention, and Grant will
not forget it. It will be to their
interest to prove that the anti
Grant men were wrong and they
were right; and the best proof will
be the defeat Of Garfield. It is
only by his defeat that Grant can
ever hope to be President again:
if Garfield be elected the third term
idea is dead forever; # he be de-
feated Grant will be put up in 1884
as the only Republican who can
win.
Garfield: with his scandalous
public record, and the indifference
Of a large and influential portion Of
his party, is going to find that
i:Jordan is hard road to travel"

Vegetables For 1850.

We don't suppose the oldest inhabi-
| tant will ever again see such an
abundant condition as exists here this
year in nearly all kinds of vegetables.
Strawberries are at least three weeks
behind what they were last year, and
as we write, the bulk of the crop is
just ripening, with no market, and
thousands of quarts are rotting every
day in the field.
Raspberries, which ripen during the
first week in May, last year, will not
ripen till the first of June.
But peach trees present the strangest
feature in the freak of nature. Some
of them did not blossom out till the
middle of May, and now great many
of the trees are full Of peaches, while
there is not leaf on the tree.
1t is not confined to this immediate
locality, but extends nearly all over
this State, as far as we can learn, and
even reaches to the State Of Florida.
All kinds of vegetables are tinctured
with the same malady. If you will
examine corn this year, you viii find it
has no roots, and will not be able to
resist much of drought.
Cotton is dying out, oats have the
rust, vegetables decay aud heat
quicker than in most years. All indi
cative Of some peculiar electrical con-
dition Of the atmosphere, which must
be left to wise scientists to unfold.
As for our part, we can't account for
it. Spots on the sun and the con-
junction Of planets may have produced
Il perturbation in the atmospheric
of things, which have been
the origin Of so many cyclones and
meteors, and leave behind an effect
in the vegetable world.
From present appearances, the pros
poets for an abundant harvest, are not
very encouraging, and the people
should study more economy and pre-
pare to meet whatever comes.

SeasOnabIe Hints.

In grape raising people seem to go
to extremes in management. A few
years ago the poor plant was in lead
ing string. 1t dared not make one free
growth, but it was pinched and twist
ed into all Sorts of ways. Now the
''prune not at alp maXims are getting
Roadway and this is as bad, if not
worse. First, grape growing was such
a mystery that it took a life time to
study it, and the old "vigneron" was
an awfully sublime sort of parsonage.
He is now among the unfrocked and
unreverenced. But there is great art
in good grape treatment; and yet this
art is founded on very few simple
principles. For instance, leaves are
necessary to healthy growth but two
leaves three inches wide are not of
equal value to one leaf of six inches.
To get these strong leaves, see that the
number of sprouts be limited. If two
buds push from one eye, pinch out the
weakest whenever it appears. The
other will be strengthened by this pro-
tective policy, and the laws of trade
result in favor of larger and better
leaves on the leaf that follows.

The consumption of cotton by the

A planter in South Carolina says the
total cost of planting, ginning and
cultivating one acre of cotton is eleven
dollars. We think the estimate too
low for this section.

How Napoleon Made one Woman
Happy

During the Emperor's stay at Ber-
lin, says Madame de Remusat, the
Prince of Hatfield, who had rem aimed
there, and who, said the bulletins,
chad accepted the post of governor"
kept up secret correspondence with
the King of Prussia, in which he gave
full accounts Of the movements of our
army. One of his letters was inter
cepted, and the Emperor gave orders
for his arrest and trial before the mil
itary court. His wife, who was with
child, was in despair; she obtained
an audience Of the Emperor, and
threw herself at his feet. He showed
the Princes letter, and when the poor
young wife gave way to her sorrow,
the Emperor, moved with pity, babe
her rise, and said to her, "YOu have
the original document on which your
husband may he Condemned, in your
own hand. Take my advice, profit
by this moment to burn it, and then
there will be no evidence to condemn
it," Then the princess without
moments delay threw the paper into
the fire, and bathed the Emperor's
hands with her tears. This anec-
dote made a greater impression on
Paris than all our victories.

Salt for Trees and Vegetables.

| will give you sketch of my eXpe-
rience with the use of salt in the gar
den and orchard. Young fruit trees
cal be made to grow and do well in
places where old trees have died, by
sowing a pint of salt on the earth
where they are to stand. After trees
are set | continue to SOW pint of salt
around each tree every year. | set
twenty-five trees in sandy soil for
each one of seven years, and onl y sue
ceeded in getting one to live, and that
Only produced twigs few inches long
in nine years.
Last spring l sowed a pint of salt
around it, and limbs grew from three
to three and half feet long. In the
spring of 1877 | set out twenty-five
trees, putting pint of salt in the dit
used for filling, and then soWed pint
more on the surface after each tree
was set. All grew as if they had
never be9n taken from the nursery.
Last spring set thirty more, treating
them in the same way, and they have
grown very finely. The salt keeps
away insects that injure the roots and
renders the soil more capable of sus-
tanning plant growth.
In 1877 my wife had garden forty
feet square. 1t was necessary to wat
err it nearly every day, and still the
plants and flowers were very inferior
in all respects. In 1878 | put half Il
barrel of brine and half bushel Of
salt on the ground, and then turned
it under. The consequence was that
the plants were of extraordinary
large size and the flowers of great
beauty. 1t was not necessary to
water the garden, which was greatly
admired by all who saw it. The flow
ers were so large that they appeared
to be of different varieties from those
grown on land that was not sailed.
/ had some potatoes growing from
seed that wilted down as soon as the
weather became very hot. | applied
salt to the surface of the soil till it
was white. The vines took vigor-
Gus start, grew to the length Of three
feet, b'ossomed and produced tubers
from the size of hens eggs to that of
goose eggs. My soil is chiefly sand,
but believe that salt is highly bene-
fetal to clay or to common praIie
land.-J. D., in Chicago Times.

To the Editor Of the Rural World:
| will give J. D., of Jefferson
county, Mo, the mode of cultu for
potatoCs adopted by the most success-
ful potato raisers in this county. The
most popular here are: For early,
Snowflake and early Vermont; for
general crop, Peerless and White
Peachblow. To prepare the ground
properly, it should he broken the fall
or winter previous; then re break as
soon as the proper season to plant
arrives, which is about the middle Of
May in this latitude. Pulverize the
ground thoroughly; cross off both
ways before beginning to plant,
making the rows two and half by
three feet apart. Cut the potatoes a
few days before planting. Take pOta-
toes the size Of large hens egg, aud
cut in four pieces, cutting lengthwise
both times, so as 10 divide the eyes in
the blossom end as evenly as possible.
To insure good dropping, drop the
way the ground was first laid of.
Drop one piece i'm a bill and press it
down with the foot Cover with a
two-hOrse cultivator, which leaves the
ground in good condition to drain.
As soon as they are up, 90 through
them with the cultivaiOr. throwing
the dirt to them and covering the tons
completely up, which will destroy an
the weeds and make the vines grow
stOcky. Cultivate as often as possi-
bic until the young potatoes form.
when it is time to lay them by.

Another Homicide.
Valley Fay.

Last Thursday, after dinner, Lucius
Weaver and John Taylor, colored
men, who worked for Mr.. Waties
Terry, quarreled about using a certain
mule, when John started to pick up
an ak, and Bucius struck him on the
back of the head with club, causing
his death. After the blow was struck,
John Taylor got up and walked about
for a few moments, as though nothing
serious had happened to him; but a
few minutes later laid down and died.
From the best information we can
get, the victim in this case was chiefly
instrumental in provoking the quarrel,
and would have been dangerous had
he obtained possession of the ak he
was in the act Of selling
Lucius Weaver was arrested, and on
examination admitted to bail in the
sum Of 500.

Raising sheep.

A correspondent of the Massachu-

pasture does sheep require, or rather
how many sheep could be Kept on
fifty acres ?u Answer: "Che differ
ducing power makes it impossible to
give any definite answer to this. One
thing is certain, that a rough pasture
would in four or five years, carry. near
ly double the stock that could be
pastured, from the fact that sheep
greatly improve the land they feed
upon, whence the Spanish term, "the
animal with the golden hoof. The
old rule in Merino time, when the
sheep wouldn't weigh over seventy
five pounds, was, that six sheep would
feed where one COW would, but with
the improvement in size and require
ments of flesh, not one farm and prob
ably on most pastures, not over three
for cows allowance. a good pasture
of fifty acres might keep twenty sheep.
In winter sheep will eat from three to
three and half per cent. of their live
weight OF hay, or its equivalent, de-
pendent on the other food given them,
