Judge Lochrane. of Georgia, who was
formerly Chief Justice of that State,
fails to find any wisdom in Ben Hills
idea of new National Union party.
In an interview recently published in

says: 81 see no reason why man can
not come out openly and squarely into
the Republican party, and get there all
the nationality and union he could get
in new party, besides having the ideu.
tity with great victorious army. in
stead of losing his ammunition and time
among guerillas, who at least amount

AGRICULTURAL PRIZEs.-We under
stand that the committee of award for
the agricultural prizes offered by some
of the trustees of the University and
State Agricultural College. have COM
pleted their report. The names of the
successful competitors, will of course be
announced in due time. We under
stand that over taco hundred young
farmers competed for the prizes, 1O1 of
them on corn and 104 CD potatoes and
that the yields secured by the five lead
ing competitors averaged 100 bushels of
corn to the acre-the season being, as
all remember, an unfavorable one for
cOrn-and four hundred and .tftty-seuen
(457) bushels of potatoes to the acre.
The interest aroused by these prizes and
the results secured are so creditable that
the Legislature may we'll consider
whether it can do a better thing for the
promotion of successful farming in our
State, than to appropriate moderate
sum. to be expended in similar compe-
titions in future. A bill for that pur-
pose, was, we noticed, introduced few
days ago in the House. by Mr.. Spear Of
Braintree; and we trust the farmers in
the Legislature will regard it with ia
vor-Free Press.

CLEANLINESS AND HEALTH

The alarming spread of diphtheria and
kindred diseases is warning to the
people of the United States, of which
they cannot long neglect to take heed.
In many cities and towns diphtheria
now exists almost to the extent of be-
coming epidemic, while there are few
sections of the country entirely exempt
from its ravages.
1t is believed that the first cause of
the disease is the preparation of the sys-
tenn by the presence of impure air for
the germs of the disease to take effect,
while these germs are believed to be
multiplied by this impure air. The
best houses of the cities, where there is
a tide flow, are liable to the disease be-
cause the sewer connections are in the
house, and cannot easily be so secure
but that the gas is forced by the bellows
of the tide back into them. This is
also the case with dwellings in cities
where high water fills the sewers, OF
into which from other courses the sewer
gas escapes.
Upon the farm and in villages tho
disease is propagated by the impure all
from cess pools and other sources. The
germs of the disease are not destroyed
by the frost as with those of yellow
fever, and the only safety is in com
plete removal of all impurities from thu
vicinity of the dwellings, and not only
this but the filth must be entirely dec
dorized and rendered innocuous.
liz the cities the sewer may be mad
a complete carriage way to place o
safety. In the villages and upon tn
farm the remedy can be made the mean
of adding largely to the fertilizing ele
ment of the country as we'll as securing
health. The farmer and the vlllag
improvement societies should take thi
work in their especial charge.

 I've are the father and mother of William Curtis, who brought you here last night, sad the old lady introducing herself i've are sn very glad that he was able to render you this servlce. The Wilmslows are old friends of ours, and we thought that it might perhaps be nicer for you if we drove you over this morn ing in our pony -chaise.

 Nothing could be kinder than this beautiful old lady was as we drove along She knew all about my going to be a governess at the Wilmslows, and said that she hoped that she should be often seeing me, and that must come and and spend my shorter holidays at their hOule-Langley Manor House, on the other side of Manningham. In due time we came to Bennington, when the Wlmslows gave me very. kind reception. They had been greatly perturbed and dismayed by my non arrival. Mrs. Wilmslow, with natural feminine sagacity, laid all the blame upon her irrational husband, who at once meekly ac- cepted her reprimaBd.
