FINE W AlHER, &c.
THE melancholy days, the Saddest OF
the year. have come at last 1t is, how
ever, the impression of many persons
here that the author of the above must
have had 7 fit of dependency about the
time he wrote it. For the refreshing
rains we have had, the bracing air and
clear sky have added fresh vigor to life
and dispclled the malaria and ague which
have been hanging as 4 cloud over our
existence. The changes i'll the foliage OF
the trees into varied hues has given addi-
tional beauty to the scenery along the
river. and those who wish Il delightful
trip can find none better than from here
to Columbia. Mr.. j. ID. Kepner, the best
and most popular conductor the Railroad
Company has yet had on their road, will
afford every facility for making the ride
4 pleasant one.
POLE RAISING.
On Monday afternoon the Republican
club of this town raised two handsome
poles-one on each side of the street in
Centre Square. Each pole was surmount-
ed by small flag, aud between them is
suspended large one "a feet in length
and Is feet in width, with a strip at the
bottom, 3 feet wide, containing the
names of the candidates for President.
Vice President and Congress. The club
meets every Wednesday night. At its
next meeting on the 18th inst, Levi c..
Bird, Esq. of Wilmington. Del. will de-
liver an address on the political issues of
the day. Mr.. Bird is an eloquent speak
er; has been actively engaged on the
stump during this Presidential canvass.
and from the reputation he has acquired
will give our club an intellectual and
political entertainment we'll worth hear
ing and it is hoped there will be gener-
al turn out.
here is comparatively active, and the
town has good share of the prosperity
generally prevailing. Our Foundry is
running on full time; our granite quar-
ries are employing Il full complement of
men; and our planning mill has orders
ahead for all the flooring they can manu-
factu.e for some time to come.

Of the Central Pacific railroad stock

employed on an order to sell 10, 600
shares each, on a scale Of frsctions
from so to SO cents. As soon as the
hammer of the presiding fficer of the
Stock Exchange fell at 10 o'clock en- the
morning of the twenty-eighth of jan
ursy there was rush on the part of
those who wished to buy Central Pa

"SLo FORAGE" is prepared extensive
ly in France for winter use, and it has
lately been tried by Maryland farmers
with success. A field of corn Just in
tassel is cut with a m 'wer and the
stalks and fodder are chopped up with
machine, while the icrage thus pre-
pared is dumped into trenches six feet
deep and six feet wide and then COW
cred over with twelve or eighteen
inches of earth. In winter the trench
es are opened and the chopped corn,
still as fresh and green as on the day
it was buried, is fed in troughs to
cattle and hogs, which are said to eat
1t yoraciously and to thrive famously
upon it. The trench is recovered
each day after taking out forage.
The French call the trenches "silos. +"
It is said Of this system of saving for
age that corn stalks just IN tassel con-
tain all the nutritious properties that
they ever derive from the earth, and
that by preserving them in this state
for feeding, the product OF the farmers
tillage is more completely utilized for
keeping his stock in good condition
through the winter than in any other
way. The cost is sand to amount to
only So or So head for keeping cat
tie through the winter months, and
though the trenches are expensive to
dig, when once dug, they constitute a
permanent improvement on the farm
Some farmers wall up the eide of
their trenches with brick; others
lay boards over the top of the
trenches after the chopped forage has
been filed in and before the earth is
laid on; and on the whole much iDge-
nuity and originality have been mani
tested among them in utilizing the
principle on which the silo system is
based. For dairy farmers the silo for
age is said to be an institution of the
highest advantage. These are points
as gathered from al exchange, but we
would not advise Texas farmers to
bank too heavily on it until tested. II
the system will work all right here it
viii be of untold value.

The d nison. Herald says there would
De significance IL the calling of the
national Democratic convention in the
West. The failure, it thinks, to induce
Seymour to run and the difficulty of
getting the factions TO unite on anyone
in New York, leaves only Blyard in
the field. His known convictions o.
duty and his evident determination t.
follow his convictions whether leading
to the Presidency or not, it is thought,
is an element Of weakness in his candi-
dscy. "While of all men," says the
Herald, "BIyGrd would be the easiest
TO elect, h. is the hardest t. nominate.
The very virtues that make his csndi-
dscy formidable, make his nomination
difficult. 1t seems strange that great
men are noI available for great offices.
Perhaps the things that make them
great also lift them above the scrsm-
bles Of conspicuous positions. If the
Democracy can rise tt the level of a
really great man like Bsyard and NOM
mate him, it night establish precedent
which We uId give ue cur greatest men
for the Presidency. If Bayard is not
the man, cur opinion is that it will be
one from the West, either Thurm al,
Pendleton or Hendricks.

There is already too much plscr, and
az governments fall back into the sood
old democratic lines OF the pasf, to
which we .re sasisfied they are tending,
there must necessarily be less OF It.
We are con:ioually forgetting the pur-
poses for which government was crea-
ted in these states. We are drifting in
to monsrchisl idess, under which
governments arc created not for the
masses, but for the few, and where
governments are made expensive hat
the many may be kept in sutOrdina-
ton through poverty. The federal
government, under its Republican
rule Of the last twenty years, has
caused the peop'e to pay tribute to
one hundred thousand federal flee
holders and much OF the evil system
as been transplanted into Texas. Ia
stead of Democrats culiivating it and
adding to this eternal crop of Office
holders, let them pledge themselves to
wedding the crop down. The farmers.
we are satisfied, will be the first to
lend helping hand ln such reform,
and God knows they need all the
friendly aid that possibly can be given
them. These farmers assist in main
tanning an expensive agricultural de-
partment at Washington, and we would
be pleased for any farmer In Texas
who has been benefited by it to the ex-
tent of five dollars to write to the
STATEsMAN all the circumstances. l.
is now generally admitted that this lux
ury, which has been another creation
of the Republican party, is worthless
public expense, and a proposition be-
fore Congress to abolish the bureau
should be adopted.
