One by ono the States are dropping
out as pivotal States in the Presiden-
tial contests. Until few years ago,
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and
day of October, and thus settled the,
Presidential battle; but they have
been gradually retiring from the ad-,
vance position in great national
conflicts, and by next fall Ohio will
be the only one left. Pennsylvania
has rescued from the severe strain of
her October election by the new Con-
stitution in 1874, and since then her
elections have been very largely con-
trolled by Ohio. Iowa followed by a
constitutional amendment providing
that the regular State election in
Presidential years shall be held on
the day Of the national election, and
now comes Indiana with a constitu-
tional amendment, that will certainly
be adopted in April, postponing the
October elections until November.
This will leaye Ohio alone to be de-
bauched and be deviled by the poll
ticians next fall, and it will be a
marvel if her people don't so thor
oughly tire of it as to prevent its
repetition. BY and by the people of
Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island
will get little practical sense thro'
their wool about elections, and save
themselves from foolishly exhaustive
contests in Presidential years simply
to inspire the party in the debatable
| States.

There is a cheering prospect, at
! st, that steps may be taken to put
the veXatious Chinese question at
rest. The President has appointed
commission. composed of men of
high character and conceded ability,
which is to visit China, investigate
all commercial questions pending be-
tween that country and the United
States, and negotiat treaty in place
of that recently submitted by Minis.
ter Seward. The head of the COM
mission will be President Angel
of Michigan University, who was
nominated Wednesday for Minister
Seward's place. His two colleagues
have been chosen not only for their
abilities. but for the schools of opin-
ions which they represent, one OF
them being an exponent of the SEN
timent of the Pacific coast upon this
question, the other a well.known
writer on international law, who has
a practical diplomatic experience.
These selections have been made with
admirable skill to secure the benefit
of the highest learning and the hest
wisdom in the consideration of the
treaty, at the same time that even
the most radical views are allowed a
voice. A measure recommended by
- ~. L.. - 81.
To command the approval of the con-
servative opinion OF the country. 1t
is not likely to satisfy the extreme
opponents of Chinese immigration,
but it is plain on the other hand that
their demands are to be fully and

GENERAL STATEMENT.


We are again led to the shore of the Sea OF
>Galilee, and to the day at the close of which
occurred the voyage related in lesson l. 1t
was some months after the sermon on the
Mount, when the Saviour was at the height
of hisp popularity. So immense was the crowds
that assembled to hear his words, that he took
refuge in Peters boat. The little vessel lay
moored in the lake. and the Saviour sat its
prov, while close before him the multitude
filled the sloping shore down to the margin of
the water. All day long he taught them In
parab es, drawing lessons from the sower scat
tering h sseed on the hillside, from the leaven
nodded into the dough, rom the mustard
plant with the birds resting ON its Doughs,
from the plowman in the field, and the fisher.
close of his adtiress the ispetSet,
and Jesus, left alone with his disciples an
swered their Questions as to the meaning of
the two principal parallels, those fthe sower
and of the tares. In the latter is sketched at
Il stroke all human history, with its mingled
scenes of sin and righteousness, from the fall
to the final judgment: the probationary state
of the present coutrasted with the final dec-
sions of the future the origin of evil in the
heart of a fallen angel. and its fate when
eternal justice shall announce the sentence
on the wicked the present intermiXture of
good and evil, and the distinction which
shall be made when the heavens shall roll to-
gether as a scroll, and the throne of the Judge
shall be upreared.

Salt for Trees and Vegetables.

will give you a slv6feh of my ex.
perience with the use of salt in the
orchard and garden. Young fruit
trees can 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 year. / set twenty
five trees in sandy oil for each one
OF seven years and 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 | sat out twenty-five
trees, putting pint of salt in the
dirt used for filling, and then sowed
a pint more on tine surface. after each
tree was set. All grew as if they had
never been taken from the nursery.
Last spring | sat thirty more, treat
ing 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 cap.
able Of sustaining plant growth.
In 1877 my wife had garden forty
feet square. 1t was necessary to
water it nearly every day, and still
the plants and flowers were inferior
in all respects. In 1873 put half
barrel and half bushel of salt on
the ground and turned them under.
The consequence was that the plants
/ We're of extraordinary large size and
the flowers Of great beauty. 1t was
not necessary to water the garden,
which was greatly admired by ALI
who saw it. The flowers were so large
that they appeared to be of different
varieties from those grown on land
that was not salted.
had some potatoes growing from
seed that wiltcd down as soon as the
weather became very hot. l applied
salt to the surface of the soil till it
was white. The vines took a vigorous
start, grew to length Of three feet,
blossomed and produced tubers from
the size of hens eggs to that of goose
eggs. My soil is chiefly sand, but 1
believe that salt is as highly benefi-
cia to clay as to common prairie
land.-J. D., IN Chicago Times.
