Is a sensible article on the cultivation of
melons, the agricultural editor Of the Balti-
more sun truthfully says that farmers give
but little attention to this delicious fruit
which can be raised with little trouble if
properly understood. \ well~drained light
soil with a sunny exposure suits them best.
/ the ground is not naturally rich it re-
quires heavy manuring, sheep hog or hen
manure mixed with wood ashes being the
most valuable. When the plants are about
al inch high a small striped bug depredates
upon them. The best way to get rid of it IS
to sprinkle the plants with a solution of
whale oil, soap and water, using about
pound Of soap to five gallons of water.
When the plants reach their third leaf
the bug disappears generally.

On With the New Leve.

The young Ulysses has speedily found
consolation for the loss If the fair Flood
to whom but a little while ago he was
engaged to he married, while now al
ready he is married to another. We
greatly fear that the young Ulysses shook
the fair Flood, who was reported at the
time to have sacked him because OF his
naughtiness. There is no telling just
how it was, but it is clear that the young
Ulysses either has no heart to speak of,
or has one which is very readily repair
ed, or else that it was never very badly
broken. Anyhow he seems to be
culpably swift young man to
be on with new love to the
very jumping off place Of matrimony
before the old was fairly cold. But there
may have been peculiar circumstances
which in this case froze up the young
mans ardor with unusual speed: or he
may have felt that he needed quick con-
ISOLATION for the loss of all those millions
lie is chip of the old block who wants
a presidency, but will take the best of
the kind he can get. TheyOung Ulysses
has done we'll in finding another only
daughter of silver miner to smile upon
him, and he was wise to cover her into
possession quickly. lest she too might
slip away.

AFFIDAVIT Of the Man Who Says He Saw the

The text Of the affidavit. referred 10 in
yesterdays lNTELLIGENoER, to the identity
OF Il. l.. 1lovcy and to his receipt Of let
ter on Chinese cheap labor from General
Garfield, is as follows:

''Hobert Lindsay, being first duly
sworn on oath, says that he resides in TIE
city of Cumberland aforesaid that he is
Morey, whom he first met in 1874, and

spoken to deponcnt upon the subject OF
about the fourth day OF February, 1880.
ters from prominent individuals re!atin. to
the subject Of cheap labor; that three Of
said letters were from James ~. Garfield,
and dcpOnent further swears that ono Of
the letters, then and there shown to him
so-calied. Chinese letter which is now Il
matter of public controversy, or at least
the words were the same as expressed in
said letter, and that he recognizes the en
craving and Photograph OF the said letter
as being the photograph OF the letter shown
him by said Morey on the said fourth day
OF February. That said Morey expressed
a determination to SO from Boston to New
Orleans, and deponent says lie has not
seen him since.
This affidavit Was sent to tiic Democrat
ic national committee By ". II. Price,
chairman Of the Democratic central COM
mittec of Allegheny county, Nd, and Mr..

The following despatch in reference te
the signature of tho Moicy letter was re.
ceived last evening
"CANTOS. O., November 1.-One Of tho
alleged reasons for saying that tho si.n
ture Of General Garfield to the Nor ey E'et
ter is forged, is that the dot is over the r
instead of the i Now, when General
Garfield was in attendance ut the Soldiers
and Sailors reunion held at Canton. Sep.

city who waited on tile tables took some
of the wooden plates and went around get
ting the autographs OF the distinguished
guests present. Among them was 4
daughter Of Mr.. Joseph Front, of our city,
who procured the signature Of Genera,
Garfield among others. 1t is written J.
a. Garfield witt, the dot the r. in.
stead of the 81 as in the Morey letter.
The plate has been seen by number OF
citizens, who pronounce the signature The
same as that attached to the Mcrcy letter
The only difference perceptiblc is that tho
j on the plate is sharp at the top, w!iic!
was caused by probably being written o.
