Shortly before IL o'clock last Friday
night the Sound steamer Narragansett was
run into, near the mouth of the Connecticut
River, by the steamer stonington, Of the
same line, thick fog prevailing at the
time. The Narragansetts side was crushed
in, and the wreck caught fire and blazed
fiercely until It sank, in few minutes after
the collision, 1t is estimated that about
twenty-five of those on board the Narragan-
Sett were lost, but the correct number can
not yet be given. The survivors wero pick
ed up by the stonington, and by the steamer
City of New York which was near the scene
of the disaster. The Narragansett was
launched about ten years ago, rebuilt year
ago, and cost nearly 100000.

The Greenbackers stuck to their busi-
ness in Chicago, and instead of a six days
session, preferred to work all nighttill broad
daylight, and adjourned at o'clock in the
morning. So says the N. Y. Sun. The
preference was probably caused by a lack oI
the necessary amount of greenJacks to liQui-

The Republicans who Would Not have
Blaine,
From a Speech in Boston by Albert Palmer.

From Speech IN Boston Dy hIDcTl
What of the cry for purity? What of that
gallant band OF sturdy purists who went ont to
Chicago demanding "a candidate without Il
STAIN" and returned home swinging their hats
for Garfield? The shield of public purity is
a knghty thing, but who shall hide from the
gaze of the American people the black bar SIN
lister of Credit Mobilier and De Golyer corrup-
ton? Surely the skirts of their Caesar were
whittier than the bedraggled mantle of the man
whom his own party, through the mouth OF q
Congressional committee and the columns OF
its own press has plllOrlcd IN the same pillory
with Schuyler Colfax! We may even be par
doncd for believing that the grim Mulligan
and his letters would not have cast darker
shadow upon the man of magnetism than the
ominous memorandum book from whose leaves
Oakes Ames, though dead, yet speaketh with
convincing truth and eloquence Small won
der that they tell us we must not discuss the
candidates, but what they represent. Time
was when their candidates could bear discus
sion as well as their platforms. To-day they
beg US not to consider Garfield at all, butthink
of what he stands for. This is quite IN the
vein of the old parson who knew that his prac-
tice was not equal to his precept and who got
up, with his eyes full of tears, his heart full OF
contrtion, and his pockets stuffed with the
proceeds of his populations, and blubbcrcd out
to his congregation, "My beloved brethren,
don't think Of me, don't pay any attention to
me, don't do as do, but do as | tell you"
Such Is the last ditch Of the once proud Re
publican party!

From Speech of Thomas A. Hendricks, at Marion, Ind
Garticlds nomination means the endorse
ment and approval in the most positive and
offensive manner possible of the Presidential
fraud of 1861 He had more to do with it
than any other man, and was the only man who
occupied toward it double relation. After
the election Garfield went to New Orleans by
request of Gen. Grant, without authority of
law, as partisan He went there to assist his
party IN making up case, and after his return
to Washington, of all his associates he was the
only man who took his seat upon the Electo-
raj Commission. BY every sentiment of far
play he should have been excluded from the
jury box. BY his sworn statement of what he
did in New Orleans, Garfield had charge OF
the returns from West Feliciana Parish. In
one of the inner rooms of Packard's Custom
House he did his work, examined the affida-
Wits and when they were not sufficiently full
he prepared or had prepared additional inter
rogatories to bring them within the rules
adopted by the Returning Board The testi.
mOny, so received by Garfield, went back to
the Returning Board, and the result was that
West Feliciana with Its Democratic majority
was thrown out In Washington Garfields
vote was that Congress could not 20 behind
the returns thus made. AS agent for his party
he helped to make returns by anpulating
the evidence; and as juryman for the nation
he held such evidence as conclusive and
binding

There u no crop So valuable for the rcnova
tion Of partly exhausted grain lands as clover
| say partly exhausted, for if lands are exhaust
ed beyond Il degree of fertility the clover plant
cannot be grown. There Is n question that
often arises in the minds Of many farmers as
to how they may best utilize the crop to in
crease fertility. One asks whether it is best
for the land to plow IN the first crop grown
after sccdiHg, or let 1t 90 over to Il seconc
years growth. Having no regard for the use
of land, there might be benefit to the soil by
the rest of a second year, but the clover plant
being biennial (or at least 1t is so classed and
is largely so IN habit as but few plants in or
dinary soils will survive the second season., 1t
is evident that the first crop is best to plow IN
as fertilizer and rcnOvator If it is the chief
object of the farmer to enrich his land, and
that by the growing of clover to turn in, the
creates good will be gained by plowing in the
first crop when 1t is in full bloom and near
maturity; but if the profit to the farm is the
object, il Is best to NOW the first crop of hay,
feed it on the farm and apply the manure
made to the farm. a second growth of clover
plowed in, with the roots Of the stronggrow-
ing plant, will afford nearly as much fertility
to the soil as would the first, and the hay crop

Drv Earth "a Beading for Stock.

There is nothing more useful in promoting
the health and comfort of stock during the
winter season, when animals have to be housed
and fed, than dry earth While it is the most
abundant, cheapest and easily got of all alb
sorbents and disinfectants, it is almost entirely
neglected. Straw makes very imperfect bed
ding. 1t serves no purpose whatever as an
absorbent and only lndifferently we'll in keep
ing the animals clean. Farmers who have
comfortable barns and stables for their stock
should, during the dry season IN the fall and
before freezing commences, gather from roads
and any sources of supply that are convenient,
and store under cover enough pulverized dry
earth to keep the stalls and sleeping apart
ments of their stock well supplied through
the winter. A good bed of dry earth is far
more comfortable for hogs than straw, but
both should be used. For keeping the stables
where milch cows are sheltered and fed clean
and sweet fine dry earth is superior to any.
thing else. The liquid voiding of the animals
is absorbed and all smells prevented from per-
vading the premises. A busting of dry earth
banishes yermln from the stock, and is at once
the simplest, most convenient and harmless of
all remedies for or preventives of vermin. As
a saver Of manure for those who value this
source of farm wealth dry earth is the most
complete. There is nothing more desirable
than clean, sweet COW stables, if good milk
and butter are objects, and no other means

This is the advice Of an old man who has
titled the soil tor forty years:
am an old man, upwards of three score
years, during two scores of which | have been
tiller of the soil. | cannot say that am
now, but have been rich and have all need,
do not owe one dollar, have given mychlldren
good education, and when am called away
to leave them have enough to keep the wolf
from the door. My experience has taught me
that:
/. One acre of land well prepared and well
cultivated, produced more than two which re
-eeived only the same amount Of labor used on
one.
2. One COW, horse, mule, sheep or hog well
fed is more profitable than two kept on the
same amount necessary to keep one well.
g. One acre of clover or grass Is worth
more than two of cotton where no grass or
clover is raised
f. No farmer who buys oats, corn or wheat
fodder and hay as rule, for ten years, can
keep the sheriff away from the door in the
end.
s. The farmer who never read the papers
sneers at book farming and Improvements, al
ways has a leaky roof, poor stock, broken
down fences, and complains of bad seasons"
g. The farmer who is above his business
and lntrusts it to another to manage soon has
no business to attend to.
7. The farmer whose habitual beverage is
cold water is healthier wealthier and wiser
than he who does not refuse to drink.

From purely Republican sources, comprising
the highest authorities in the Treasury depart
ment, and the Attorney Generals ONCE he
found that "all rebel claims whatever are barr.
ed bv the Fourteenth amendments that all
these socalled claims are put forward by al
legged Southern Unionlsts; that every one ot
them was barred by the statute OF limitations; :;
that the democratic house has defeated every

Garfield and Mr. Hayes, sending all such
schemes 10 the fatal chances of litigation In
the republican court of claims, which would
be certain to defeat the claims and end the ls-
sue for campaign use"

the officials for being such fool as to think

there is nothing in it. The confederate 6riga-
dicrs do not propose TO pay claimants who
boast that they were against the south IN the

those claims are dead. Indeed they have been
barred long time, and the democrats came

SAIT.-Salt helps to make bile, the natural
purgative of the body. So corned beef, salt
mackere, salt pork and Goldfish should be eat
en- at least once or twice a week.
Nothing that we eat is more valuable than
salt, nor could anything except bread be more
missed. Animals in fact will travel distances
and brave great dangers to obtain 1t. On the
coast of Sierre Leone brothers will sell their
sisters, husbands their wives. and parents their
children, for salt In the district of Accra on
the Gold coast of Africa, handful OF salt is
the most valuable thing upon earth after gold,
and will purchase slave or two. Salt with
the Bambaras is such luxury that to say OF
a man, "He havors his food with salt" is 10
imply that he is rich. No stronger mark OF
affection can be shown in Muscovy than the
sending of salt from the tables of the rich to
their poorer friends. Spilllng salt was held
to be an unlucky omen by the Romans and
the superstition has descended to ourselves
Leonardo di Vlncl availed himself of this ira
ditlon in his famous picture of the Lords
Supper" to indicate Judas Iscariot by the salt
cellar knocked over accidentally by his arm
When we say Of shiftless fellow that ''he
does not earn his salt" we unconsciously al
lude to an ancient custom among the Romans
Among them man was said to be in posses
sion of salary" who had his "salarium," his
allowance of salt money or of salt wherewith
to SAVIOR the food by which he lived. Thus
salary comes from salt-and in this view oi
the word how many there are who do not
learn their salt"
