Throwing Up the Sponge.

That adamantine Democratic organ, the
New York Sun, in its leading editorial of
Monday, thus fatty throws up the sponge in
behalf of Hancock and Shylock;
No mincing matters. The Democrats have sus-
tanned an unexpected and notifying defeat in
Indiana and Ohio. 1t is disastrous, and may
prove fatal 1t is silly to make light Of it, and
idle to try to white 1t away by cunning calcula-
tions and adrot figuring The Democrats are
beaten, badly beaten; whether beaten to death or
not is the only question. 1t has seemed to us
that the whole Democratic campaign was a series
of blunders. The party had one man-oply one
whose immense strength had been demon
strated on national fied-Samuel j. Tilden. 1t
Is the one great, pre-eminent name Of the Demo-
cratic party. This iustrious man the
Democratic party thought it could afford to dis
pense with as a candidate! There is a word OF
one syllable with two o's in it which might, not
appropriately, be inserted here. The party
nominated General Hancock, a good man weigh
ing two hundred and fifty pounds. But Hancock
Is not Tilden. Then, as a browning act Of folly,
the party went into the state OF Thomas A. Hen
bricks, and took another man for vice president
Any name other than that Of Hendricks would
have been folly enough; but, to 60 one step fur
Their they had to take a man with the most obi
Gus reputation as skinflint to overcome! There
used to be a fellow who made an occupation OF
butting his head against rough-stone New Eng.
land wall for twenty-five cents. The Democratic
party In making this nomination resembled him

THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGrNIA.-The Bour-
bons are extremely anxious over the politi-
cal situation in the Old Dominion. Many
thousand colored voten have never paid
their capitation tax, and so are not entitled
to vote. Fears are entertained that at the
last moment the Republicans will pay this
tax and thus admit fifty thousand Republi-
can voters to the polls. 1t is rumored that
the governor is entertaining the proposition
to convene the legislature to choose electors
on the I'd of November. The outlook in
this state for Garfield and Arthur is espe-
cially promising.

without precedence In Its significance, and, while
the chances are with the Democracy, also think
the result by no means certain. The coalition be
tween sectional hate, religious bigotry and the
money OF the north was never more cordial, earn
est or desperate than now. Factious divisions
have been healed in the Republican party. The
most ultra wing Of the Republican party is to con-
troll Garfeld's administration. The preachers
have gone on the stump, and the capitalists are
pouring out the funds by the million. The issue
Is the people and constitutionasm against dupes

Democrats during this very campaign have com
mitted blunders which amount to political crimes,
but prefer not to speak Of these things now.
Let us all now have but one thought, and that,
How to succeed Three weeks from now may
be willing to say many things ofwhich will not
now speak.
Success does not depend on Indiana, says
Mr.. Hill. "Defeat in the western states
does not destroy the plan on which Demo
cratic success is expected" In view of the
fact that Democratic chances of getting a
constitutional majority of the electoral votes
have been hopelessly blasted by this same
election in Indiana, which after the fact sud
denly becomes of no account, but which be-
fore the fact was sine qua non of Democratic
success, it becomes interesting to know by
what other "plan" Ben Hill and his confed-
crates are now expecting to carry the gen
eral election. Mindful of the desperate
straits of reckless foe at bay, the Republi-
cans, to the last moment of the canvass, will
need remember and act upon the injunctions
of the old hymn, 40 watch and fight and
pray, the battle ne'er give Ger" etc.

Too LATE.-The Democrats are reported
to be preparing another tariff letter for their
puppet candidate The Paterson editor is
more stubborn than "the obscure newspa-
per writer " who proved so fatally truthful
to Wade Hampton. He maintains the cor
rectness of his report of Hancock's tariff
iapdoodle, and it is said the general revised
the manuscript himself. In the third edi.
ton of his tariff views it is said Hancock
will announce himself an ultra-protectionist
Too late-the game has got the scent and is
far beyond the range of the Democratic
blunderbuss.

Mice and Rabbits Gnawing Trees,

Every winter the agricultural journals
contain inquiries as to remedy to pre-
vent mice and rabbits gnawiDg trees,
and we have nea.lv annually answered
them. Our remedy, which we have
tried with success, has proved etfeotual
In every instance in which it has been

trees with any old cotton or wooden cloth,

eight or ten inches high will answer: for
rabbits, not less than two feet. The
latter standing upright can reach up
very nearly two feet, and as far as they
can reach they will gnaw. The same
cloth, if put away, will last for several
years. Of course the bandaging must
be well done and tied to the trees Sc
curcly.

Fall Turning Up of Garden Soil.

Protested gardeners will understand the
fall management of these important lit
tie family farms. It is needless to tell
them how much the success of next wears
crops depends upon turning up ground
(say in Novemher) intended for such
crops. But there are many others-those
who have small gardens-and in this
class are many of our regular well-to-do
farms-who only raise half crops of veg
etables, and those of an inferior quality
and wonder how it is SO. Now, we can
not too often repeat the advice that if
they will use the garden fork, and turn
the soil up full fork deep, allowing it to
remain in Jumps all winter exposed to the
frost, it will put the soil in excellent con-
dition and tend greatly to add to the pro-
duction OF next years crops. This is
especially the case with ground not So
treated frequently, and we would mention
that every other year is the best, instead
OF every year as some gardeners d.
Gardens, and especially old ones, should
also be lined once in five years, and
sailed about every other spring, apply
ing of lime at the rate of thirty bushels
to the acre, and of salt from eight to ten.
In applying salt keep it from coming
in contact with box-edging and all other
evergreens, very small trees, &c. Such
course will bring up your old gardens
in a surprising manner. Turnips, rad
dishes, etc., will grow as well as they
ever did, and all other vegetables be
largely benefited. Germantown Tele.

Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding, as are children,
and can be easily damaged or ruined by
bad management. We believe that the
difference found in horses as to vicious
habits and reliability, comes much more
from the different management of men
than from variance or natural disposition
in animals. Horses with high mettle are
more easily educated than those of less
or dull spirits, and are more susceptible
to ill-training and consequently may be
made good or bad, according to the edu-
ton they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not by
any means proof against bad manage
ment, for in them may be fonnd the most
provoking obstinacy vicious habits of
different characters that render them al
most worthless. Could the coming gen.
erations of horses in this country be
kept from their days of colthood to the
age of five years in the hands of good,
careful managers, there would be seen
vast difference in the general character
of the noble animal.
If colt is never allowed to get an
advantage, it will never know that it
possesses power that man cannot con-
troll, and if made familiar with strange
objects it will not be skittish and ner-
vous. If horse is made accustomed
from his early days to have objects hit
on the heels, back, or hip he will pay
no attention to the giving of harness,
or wagon running against him at an
unexpected moment.
We once saw an aged lady driving
high-spirited horse attached to a carriage
down steep hill. with no holdback straps
upon the harness, and she assured us
that there was no danger, for her son nc
customed his horse to all kinds of usage
and sights that commonly drive the ami
NAL into frenzy of fear aud excitement.
A gun can be fired from the back of
a horse, an umbrella held over the head,
buffalo robe thrown upon his neck,
railroad engine pass close by, his heels
bumped with sticks, and the animal take
it as a natural condition of things, if on
ly taught by careful management that it
will not be injured thereby. There is
great need of improvement in this noble
animal. Less beating wanted and more
education. Empire State Agricultmist.
