ATTEND TO raE STOCK.

Every attention should be given
during this month to stock that is to
be fattened for the winter market.
The weather is comparatively mild
and there is now great variety OF
food. Animals will gain faster now
on the same variety OF food than
they will after cold storms OF lain
and snow occur. All perishabie food
as apples, pumpkins. aid squashes
should be fed out literally to prevent
waists. It is best to feed soft corn as
soon as it is husked, as it will mold if
put in the crib. Soft corn is easily
d1gested and is relished, on account
Of its softness and sweetness, by
stock of all kinds. Cattle and sheep
will gain in flesh and fat very rapid
during the month of November if
they are properly attended to. There
is some green grass and an abundance
of other kind Of food to afford a suf-
fcient variety. November is one Of
the best months in the year to fatten
hogs. They should be allowed all
they can eat, and pains should be ta-
ken to afford them protection from
the cold. 1t is also an excellent
month for preparing sheep for the
market.

In the higher grades the subtle
and unresisted Influence is at work.
The textbooks contain extracts from
patriots speeches during the war.
Those speeches make no democrats.
The great battles are briefly described; !;
the narl ative has no democratic list
eners. The strain of material music
runs through che readers, and that
music makes no democrats. Sketch
es of the great generals are given; !;
their brave deeds arouse the enthusi-
asm IF the lads, but there is no dem
ocrat::among them. The horrors and
sufferings of slaves are told; the i1fad-
dened blood that mounts the boy
cheeks is not democratic blood. The
curse of slavery has pursued the dem
ocratic party, and has bounded it to
its death. Therefore, let it die; and
no lip will be found to say a prayer
over tie grass on its grave.
The late defeat need not be attri-
buted to any other cause. Other
causes were at workout they were
only incidental. The tariff was one.
Sectionalism was a second. ''Let
we'll enough alone" was third The
October failure in Indiana was
fourth. But all these were trivial
and together could not have accom-
plished the result. The result was
accomplished because the youth Of

LIBBY PRISON
z "reminiscences of the Old COnfed-
crate BastiIc of Richmond.

Libby Prison, the historic militia
ry Jail of the Confederate Govern
fiient, was sold at auction under a
deed of tr1st. The auctioneer sta
ted t:iat the property was now be-
ing rented as a tobacco factory at
$50 d month. The buil1ing was
star ed at $500, and went up by
! slow degrees to $4,000. The auc-
1tioneer said reproachfully that it
est over half this amount to put
down the piles upon which the bull
ding was erected. He then sug-
gested that such was the value of
the historical associations of the
building, that, fit were pulled down
the bricks could easily be sold at
the North for 81 !. piece, and as there
were 240,0OU bricks, the building
would bring s240,O0O. He would,
however, be satisfied to sell it fr
less money. This appeal sent the
bidding upto Sc, l25, and it was
knocked down to Mr.. James T.
Gray, a young capitalist of this city.
The building is now occupied by
Mr.. F. M. Boygroes as tobacco
factory. A crowd Of negroes looked
through the upper story iron bars,
interested spectators of the sale.
Libby Prison was the most fa-
nous of the Confederate military
prisons, and by the Confederate
Government it was ranked as the
most secure, although the success of
the tunneling enterprise of Streight,
Rose and others rather deprecated
the idea of its safety and caused Mr..
Turner to double his guards. The
Libby in outward appearance has
changed little since the war. Even
the sign, although now much wealth
stained and rather indistinct is still
there "Libby Prison. The iron
bars have been taken away from
the windows and sold as old iron.
Soon after the war the prison was
without tenants, but finally a nor
thern gentleman rented it and fit
ted it up as a summac waIehou Q.
Subsequently it was used as a to-
bacco stemmery, and then as to-
bacco factory. The building has a
front Of140 feet and depth of 165
feet. When it was used as prison
it was divided into nine rooms, each
1O2 feet long and 45 feet wide. The
partitions have been knocked down.
In many places on the wall there
can still be seen letters and dates
carved in the bricks by Federal cap
tives. Scattered about are designs
by those prisoners who were artist
calfy inclined and had turn for
the sculptor's art. Souls, cross
bones, coffins, chains, are mixed mp
with more ambitious attempts in
the shape of thin-legged animals,
which the beholder's fancy can
take for.horses, cows or dragons.
Men Who were confined in the
Libby are scattered all over the
Union, and yet it may be doubted
whether there is one in hundred

SLIGHTLY EixED.
How Two Political Speakers Got
into the Wrong Meetings,

The following good joke, in Which
worthy member of the bar, Judge
F., figures. is. worthy Cf space. 1t is
tale of Watts tract, a suburb of.
of Oakland, of political meetings., of
disgusted speakers, and enraged au-
diences. The political caldron of
Watts tract had for weeks been boil
ing over. Meetings had beer held
nightly, and the best of local speak
ers had tried to enlighten the intelli-
gent people of the tract. The success
of Democrats and Republicans alike
was so dubious that both parties, by
singular coincidence, resolved to hold
grand mass-meeting, appointing
the same evening, and both parties
called on the State Central Commit
tee in this city to send them over an
orator.
The meetings were set for Wednes-
day evening last. At mn early hour
on that evening Judge F, who had
consented to speak at the tract. boar
ded ferry steamer as did also no
ted Republican orator, The Judge
had been cautioned by the Democrat
ic committee to draw it mild, as the
Republicans Of the tract were weak
ening, and if their party was not
abused too much they could be won
over. The Republican orator had al
SO Leen warned that the party over
there needed bracing up. and that the
Democracy must be denounced in un-
measured terms. Watts tract was
reached in due time, and the politi-
clans separated, the Republican to!
seek his party's gathering and Judge
F. to find the Democratic wigwam.
This was, as he supposed, soon found.
The hall was blazing with lights,
while in front bonfires glared, and a
band Of music aided in making the
night hideous. In walked Judge F.,
introduced himself as the speaker
from the State Central Committee
and was in turn presented to the au-
dience as the orator of the even
ing.
After the applause had subsided,
Judge Z. cleared his voice and began.
He who spoke not too abusively OF
'.the Infamous course of the Re
publicans,, and finally rounded asen-
tence with grand peroation to the
Democracy. Tnen he paused for
breath and for applause. But oh,
amazement! There was not the
slightest expression of satisfaction
not single cheer was heard. In
stead, a dozen auditors arose, pulled
up their coat collars, put on their
hats and left. Again and again did
the Judge attempt to fire the hearts
of those before him, and ON each oc-
casion did small groups get up and
meandef sadly and silently out of
the hall. Finally, with but a hand
full oi spectators before him, he clos
ed the most discouraging effort of his
life with scathing denunciation Of
the Republicans, and an appeal to all
join the Democracy. The effect OF
this, although magical, was far differ
ent from that expected. Uprose the
remnant of the audience and swarm
ed upon the platform with indignant
faces, while the Chairman, with i'll
concealed contempt and in sneering
tones, demanded of the speaker if he
had ever spoken in San Francis
