majority in the senate, with them,
DEFENDERS as pleasant as May"
but with Maynard in that body
they would sing:
Sweet prospects, sweet birds and sweet flowers
Have all lost their sweetness 10 me.
IF they believe that the terrible
radicals propose to inaugurate a
programme like they have laid
down in the above editorial extract,
we pity them, and if We thought it
possible to say any thing to allay
their fears, we would certainly
come to their relief.
But here is another paragraph
which shows that republicans are
committing a very wicked assault
upon the democratic lines:
"The republicans are now as I'M
bounded In their promises to weak.
kneed democrats as satan was on that
memorable occasion on the Mount
when he did not have foot OF land tt
give away"
Here is an admission that the are
"weak-kneed" democrats. To be
making promises to men thus afflict-
ed is very naughty. Can it be pos
sible that our democratic friends
have elected to the legislature mer
who are weak in the knees. Il
would be a terrible calamity. AND
if any republican is engaged in al
attempt to seduce any "weak'
kneed" democrat from the path o.
virtue by plausible promises, he ii
doing what he "hadn't ought'er.''

a Demand for Men Eighteen Feet Long.

A Demand for Men Eighteen Feet Long.
A soldier who served IN the swamps of South
Carolina during the war tells the following
story:
Among the officers whom remember well
at Morris Island was Col. Seweli, OF New
York, most excellent officer and an accom-
plished engineer Col. Sewell was engaged on
the Swamp Angel and heing very energetic
himself he was not afraid to enter the sWamps.
His surprise can DC imagined when one DAY
one of his icutenan!s whom he had ordered
TO take twenty men and enter The swamp said
he could not do it.
"And why, sir, can't you do it," cried the
energetic Sewell.
"The mud is too deep, Colonel" replied the
lieutenant
you can at least try sir said Scwell.
The lieutenant did So, and Iii an hour re-
turned his men covered with mud from head
to foot.
Here now" erred Scwei on seeing them,
what brings you back ~
Colonel, the mud Is over my men ) heads.
| | can't do It,"
"Oh! but YOU can make "a requi,ilon for
anything that is necessary for the safe passage
of the swamp and | will give ii TO you, bu;
YOU must 90 through it,
/ The Lieutenant did make rcQulSlilOu III
i writing which was rs follows:
Il want twenty men eighteen feet long lc
cross swamp fifteen feet deep
The Joke was II good one, but Sewcll, who
was terribly IN earnest, could not just then ap
: preciate 1t, and he promptly arrested the Lieu
tenant for dIsrespcct to his superior officer
q Another Lieutenant was detailed and he wen
- into the swamp, fellcd the timber and accom-
, plished what his unfortunate predecessor haC
failed to do. Col. SeNell built his battery will
the aid Of wheel barrows ana sand, and the re
mains still stand as a monument 10 his energy
= and skill as an engineer.

One ofthe pretticst parlor ornaments is made
thus: Select the smallest wicker basket you
can find at the florists or fancy goods store; u
package of French moss; bunch OF mixed
imnortelles and few dainty shells. Cut the
basket in two; sew the half to piece of card
board, sufficiently large to allow good mar
gin for framing Now, in filling 1t with moss,
you want to carry out the idea that 1t Is brlm
full and running over Select the most deli
cate mosses and flowers and arrange them to
trail out and over the basket us Enthusiastically as
YOU please The moss for the inside should
be sevc1 on the board; when this is done, ar
range the flowers with regard to the blending
of colors, not IN huge punches, but slngly I'M
less they are very small. Mix in your shells
and fragments af coral, fy you have them, and
you will have quite an ornamental bit of work.

A couple of Swiss scientists have been ex-
perimentIng upon seeds of various plants, to
determine how much cold they can endure
without having their terminating powers de,
stroyed Seeds of cabbage mustard, cress and
wheat were separately incosed in glass tubes
and exposed for six hours to a temperature nj
~ degrees below centgrade These seeds were
afterward sown, and all except seven grains OF
wheat, which had been damaged, terminated
in the usual time, or the same time that seeds
that had not been frozen sprouted. Again they
experimental with thirteen different kinds OF
seeds, keeping them two hours, during one OF
which the temperature was eighty degrees be-
low zero, and all germinated but three vare'
ties, and these were proved to he bad at the
start as seeds from the same lot, that had not
been frozen, failed to grow.

In nearly all soils ashes are beneficial. Then
action is two-iold, they supply to plants inor,
yanc constituents which they require, and
they act chemically as solvents upon other
salts in the soil, or they neutralize acids, etc.
They are more beneficial on sandy and gravel
ly lands than on clry. For plants that con
tain large percentage of potash and phos;,
phoric acid, as carrots, turnips, potatoes ana
cabbages ashes are essential manure.

COFFEE IN TYPHOID FEvER.-Dr. Gulllas-
Sc, of the French navy, in recent paper on
typhoid fever, says: Coffee has given us IN
hoped tor satisfaction; after having dispensed
il, we tlnd to or great surprise, that its action
10 as prompt as is decisive. No sooner have
our patients take II few tablespoonslul OF it
than their feature become relaxed and they
come to their senses. The next day the I'M
provemcnt is such that we are tempted to look
upon coffee rs a specific against typhoid fever.
Under its influence the stupor is dlspelled,
and the patient rouses from the state of SOM
nolencY IN which lie has been since the eva
SION of the disease. Soon all the functions
take their Dalural course, and he enters upon
sonvalcscence" DR.. Gulllasse gives to an
adult two or three tablespOonfuls of strong
black coffee every two hours, alternated with
one or two teaspoonfuls of claret or Burgundy
wine A little lemonade or citrate of magne-
STA should be taken daily, aud after while
ouinlne. From the fact that malalse and &C.
rebral symptoms appear first, the doctor re.
CARDS typhoid fever as IA nervous disease, and
the coffee acting on the nerves is peculiarly IN
Dictated in the earIy stages before local compli-
cations arise.

One fruitful source of collie in horses Is
cracked corn If corn is to be fed use whole
corn; it is much more likely to he perfectly
masticated than cracked corn, and its imper-
feet mastication causes the colo. IL Is also
unwise to teeu grain to hungry horse, Tor
then large portion is very apt to he swal-
lowed without being properly masticated This
can be seen in their weddings. Always let the
edge of a horses hunger be taken off with "A
feed of hay before feeding grain. Half an nour
extra spent in feeding when on the road will
bring you home half an hour earlier at night.

HOUSEHOLD AND FARM.

A rigid law should be enforced against any
neglect to remove or bury any stock dying OF
disease, as the most careful sanitary measures
In stock raising will not prevent coniagion
from spreading so long as diseased stock are
exposed to contact or proximity with healthy
stock. And any person guilty of such neglect
should be held just as culpahe as If he re.
moved bedding from pesthouse and threw
il in public highway.
