More Hancock Recruits.

Mr.. VIM. NJ. Hall, of Stanford, c., has
received the following letter from George
Wilkes, dated Paris, July 1s. 1880:
MY DEAR HALL: I have been away for
week, and your last letter has lain un>
answered so long that I must jump Its
current topics to express my great grati-
fication at the nomination of Gen. Han>
cock.
Garfield pleased me, because his name
rose upon the collapse of a horrid specter
which had frightened the county to its
very marrow; but Hancock fills the bill
an honest soldier who knows nothing bat
his duty, and will be sure to leave the
people, unhampered by "politics," to
their own free will. That is the true
theory of the Presidential institution.
I have been hankering to vote the
Democratic ticket for over ten years. be-
cause it is fixed principle with me that
no party whatever is fit to WELD the Gov
ernment, its army, and its purse consec>
utively for over ten years; certainly not
for twenty. Parties, like certain dishes
need to be turned over once in a while
to suit the public palate, nay, the public
health, and Heaven knows our gorged
and loathing country needs a change at
present. But the management of the
Democratic Party has been SO incompa-
tent for the last ten years, so confounded
with cussedness in its lsaderships. that I
felt forced, lr spite of my principle, to
adhere to the more respectable rogueries
of the Puritan Republicans.
Hancock, hewever, fills the bill. He
is ga bold soldier boy" with clean
name ; and though, since Andrew jack
son, the military idea has not been a
Democratic fancy, it is not for the Repub-
licans to come out of their hotbed of
sabers to reproach us with it now They
surely cannot clamor with success about
the Mrs. Surratt performance of Han>
cocks bounden duty. That necessary
tragedy has been sufficiently discouned by
applauding stalwarts; has always proved
to be one of the most telling appeals to
Republican patriotism during the last
four Presidential campaigns: and l am
much mistaken in my estimate of human
nature if the same painful incident, with
an honest but sorrowfui soldier as Its
central figure, does not again powerfully
influence the unpo!itical portion Of the
american people.
I know Hancock, and like him. He
is a man OF sound ability, and will wear
we'll and though, as you know, l never
fancied West Point much, must beal
it this important testimony: Throughout
the war, on both sides, not one of the
regular brand was known to steal
Twas always of the opinion
after what had happened in 1876, that Til
den was the logical and proper candidate
for Cincinnati, and still believe he would
havo been elected-irst, because the peo
pie throughout the land were yearnine
for change. We have seen that mys
ferrous public sense lately work in Eng
land. But beyond the impulse of thi
slow and steady revolution against tn
Republican party, and transcending tn
force of all other causes put together
came in the nick of time the audaciou
attempt of set of political highway
men at Chicago to plant their knees upel

FARM AND GARDEN

It is claimed that one bushel of corn will
make little over 10 1-2 pounds of pork,
gross. When corn costs Is cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per pound. When corn
costs 80 cents per bushel, pork costs 4
cents per pound. When corn costs so cents
per bushe1, pork costs cents per pound.
The standard trotter is one that can cover
mile in $50. It is said that less than 900
of all the horses raised and trained in the
United States have this record. The num-
Der that can trot in $50 bear the ratio of
to 1888 horses raised. AS business the
breeding of fast horses is therefore very
much of lottery; and when We recall the
fact that the high prices which famous colts
have brought have rarely been received by
the men who raised them, the prizes in
breeding the training trotters are few and
uncertain.
The average yield of corn (says the N. Y.
Times, is less than half the possible yield
When one thinks how little the second half
Of 100 bushels of corn costs per acre, the
profit of growing such a crop becomes ap-
parent; and it is easy to produce such a
yield. One wants the right kind of corn,
good land and little extra work in cultiva-
ton. The cost of the land and of planting
and tending the crop is the same for 20
bushels as for 100 bushels per acre.
The American Agricultatrist says: With
rare exceptions the poorest vegetable gar
dens are to be found on the estates of large
and prosperous farmers in the west. In the
New England states, where the farms are
generally quite small, the gardens are Or
dinarily we'll managed. In many cases they
afford very large proportion OF the food
consumed by the family. In villages in all
parts of the country very excellent vegetable
gardens may be found. They are often
managed by mechanics and professional
men who have no knowledge of general
agriculture. Still, they manage their gar
dens much better than farmers do. They
make the most of the small amount of land
they till, and have fine vegetables during
the entire season. The ma ority of western
farmers do not appear to appreciate the adj
vantages Of good garden in producing ar
ticles of delicacy for their tables, and do
not properly estimate the value Of garden
New England Farmer.
The great disadvantages of farming life,
heretofore, have been it's isolation; too many
burdens thrown upon the women; too little
recreation allowed to the children, and bad
diet. The encroachment of population, the
propinquity of railroads, and the conse-
quent more frequent gathering of all the
people together, the invention of machin-
cry, the teachings of the newspapers and of
the lecturers have in great measure modi-
fed these evils, and the farmer is now in
all respects on a par with all other citizens,
and it is his own fault if he does not i'm
prove his advantages.

Rubbing-POsts a Necessity.

A Michigan farmer writes to the Western
Rural: The blood channels in the vascular
systems of farm animals frequently become
more or less INSTRUCTED for shorter or longer
intervals, which leads to the accumulation of
heat in the INSTRUCTED parts of the circula-
ton, in various parts of the body at different
times. The result is almost intelerable Itch
ing, and a desire-and a necessary desire,
TOTO rub the affected part against some
thing, SO as to start the circulation and abate
the discomfort. It is this itching, which
occurs more frequently when the blood is
foul, as the result of Impurities in air, food,
or water, that leads to great destruction Of
fences in many instances. The cattle, horses,
or swine cannot avoid it; cannot forego the
necessity of relieving their pain or discom-
fort by rubbing against any object that is
accessible. Our own personal sensation at
times teach this fact. Somuch may explain
the necessity that animals in our pasture,
yards, etc., have to rub, and that they Ger
tainly must rub against fences when no other
places or facilities are afforded them.

Office shows that during the fiscal year H.
792, 371 IS acres of the public domain were
sold. This is an increase over the preced-
ing year of 5,458, 371.65 acres. In this ag-
gregate are included of cash sales $50, 240. 63

GUS fiscal year. The amount of moneys re-
ceived during the fiscal year ending June 80,

period there were certified for railroad pur-
poses l, 157 1875. OIL acres, an increase, as COM
pared with the previous fiscal year, of $780,

poses, 10, 485. IA acres.

|. professional Beauty" in New York.

The wife of Prot. Rennie, the mining
expert from Nevada, is all the rage in New
York. She was born of Spanish American
parents in lower California, and is only II
and bride, while her husband is 40. Fifth
Avenue, the newspapers, and everybody
who sees her, seem bound to make her a
first-class lioness, an American Langtry.
Gen. Grant, Sam j. Tilden and crowd of
other notables, have sought introduction,
but it is said she is model of modesty.
She dresses in the simplest style, without
ornaments, and with perfect taste.
A correspondent writes of her appearance:
Her height is about five feet seven, and
she has faultless figure just full enough
to be round, with pleasing swells and tapers,
and perfectly graceful carriage. Her head
is held proudly, but without stiffness. Her
hair is coal black and naturally abundant.
Her complexion is as dark as a quadroons,
but without a tinge of yellowness, being as
bright and clear as that of a blonde. The
richness of her color is something marvel
GUS. Her eyes are large, black, and the
most passionately expressive ever saw.
Her features are precisely regular, except
that her lips are rather full, though shapely."

The State Textbook Law.

The canvassing board, consisting of Fred
Won Baumbach, secretary of state, James
Gilfllan and F. R. E. Cornell, judges of the
supreme court, W. Wilkin and H. R. Brill.
judges of the district court, declared the
result of the canvass to be as follows: "In
favor of text book acts, "a, 739, and against
text book acts, As, 465 votes, and it appears
from the canvass of the State board of can
vassers of votes for electors of president
and vice president, on file in the Office of
the secretary of state, that in the portions
of the State in which the electors had the
right to vote for or against said text book
acts, there were cast at such election $780,
$50 votes" Though majority appears
against the text book acts, it is commended
that they are approved, Oh the ground that
the negative vote is not a majority of the
vote cast at the election for President. This
view would seem to be sustained from the
declaration of the Board of the Presiden-
tial vote.
