Carlyle and the New England Girl.

I recall the uproarious mirth with
which he and Mrs. Carlyle used to re-
count the incidents of q visit they had
received from young New England
woman, and describe the earnest, devOut
homage her credulous soul had rendered
him. 1t was her first visit abroad, and
she supposed-poor thing!-that these
famous European writer's and takers,
who so dominated her fancy at dis
lance, really meant all they said, were as
innocent and lovely in their lives as in
their books; and she no sooner crossed
Carlyle's threshold, accordingly, than
her heart offered its fragrance to him
as literally as the flower opens to the
sun. And Carlyle, the inveterate COM
edian, instead of being humbled to the
dust by the revelation which such sim.
plicity suddenly flashed upon his own
eyes of his essentially dramatic genius.
and exploits, was. irritated, vexed and
outraged by it as by covert insult.
His own devout soul had never risen
to the contemplation of himself as the
priest of q really infinite sanctity, and
when this clear-eyed barbarian, looking
past him to the substance which in
formed him, made him feel himself for
the moment the transparent mask OF
unconscious actor he was, his self con-
sci0usness took the alarm. She sat, the
breathless, silly little maid, between him
and Mrs. Carlyle, holding q hand Of
each, and feeling the while her antici.
pations of Paradise on earth so met in
this foolish encounter that she could not
speak, but barely looked the pious rap
ture which filed her soul.-Henry James,
jn the atlantic.

A REPORTER of the Western Asso-
ciated Press gives the following as true
version Of the Presidents letter to Senator
Dawes. In the first place, the President
wrote that he was in favor of free ballot
and fair count, not only in Virginia, but in
every State, and would encourage it; but he
would not assist in elevating man who as
editor of daily paper is constantly attack
ing and defaming him and his Ad-
ministration. This referred to Cor
ham, editor of the National Republi-
can, and nominee of the Republicans for
Secretary of the Senate. In it the President
said nothing about the pending nominations
in the Senate. On this subject, however,
the President maintains the same position he
took before the caucus committee. He says
he sent all nominations to the Senate in good
faith, and if the Senate sees fit to pass some
of the nominations over, that is the business
Of the Senate, but the President can not
countenance any movement or suggestion for
selecting certain nominations for considera-
ton and leaving others Enacted upon.

Globe Democrat telegraphs in substance:
Thewar has begun in earnest If any doubts
have existed as to what the Administration
intended to do in the Conkling Robertson
imbroglio. such doubts were set at rest to.
day by the withdrawal of names of Mr. Conk-
ing's friends. This summary action of the
President created a decided sensation, and is
the only topic in political circles to night.
That the President should take this method of
assuming the offensive appears as much of a
surprise to his friends as to anybody else. 1t
had been family rumored about midnight last
night that Mr.. Conkling would to day call up
the uncontested nominations from his State,
which meant his friends, and press them for
confirmation. The President doubtless un-
derstood this, and quickly decided to FORE
stall such a proceeding by their withdrawal.
The comment on the course of the President
is widespread, and differs only as the COM
mentator is in sympathy with Garfield or
Mr.. Conkling. The latter's friends are
of the opinion that the President has
greatly overshot the mark. It viii drive
Senators to a square issue between Conkling
and Garfield. They may take their choice,
but they must take one or the other. The
Presidents friends are highly pleased at his
exhibition of backbone. They declare he will
grind Conkling tn powder before this fight is
over The Democrats are chuckling in great
glee over the bloody prospect. They consider
that, terminate as the fight may, it will bring
good to them and theirs. There is lively
prospect ahead, that is generally conceded.

A DISPATCH from Washington dated
the Sd says the Republican Caucus adopted
a resolution which provides, in substance,
that executive sessions shall be held forth
with (the first one to.morrow) for
the transaction of accumulated BUSH
ness in the following order: First
The reference of nominations now
on the table to appropriate committees.
Second-The consideration of pending
treaties. Third-The consideration of all
nominations heretofore or hereafter
reported from the Senate Commit
tees which, respectively, are not OBJ
jected to by one Republican Senator from
the State to which the Office appertains, or
from which, in case of National or Territori-
81 appointment, the nominee is to be ap.
pointed. The principal ground of division
was between those Senators who are de-
nominated as supporting the Administra-
ton and those who side with Senator Conk-
ling. The former took the ground that an
adverse report of a committee on nominal
ton should make it contested nomination.
Conkling and his friends argued in favor of
CHASING all nominations objected to by one
Senator from the State to which the nomina.
ton belongs as contested. As will be OBJ
served, the latter prevailed.

A LITTLE daughter Of Dennis Nc
Cauley, of Dennison, Ohio, was met by q
man named Sheets, who gave her two rail-
road torpedoes, telling her they contained
candy, and that she must open them
with stone. She innocently laid one of
them down on the sidewalk and tried to
burst it open with brick. After striking
two or three times the torpedo burst with .
terrible force. The little girls eyes were en-
tirely destroyed, and she was otherwise SO
badly injured that it was feared she can not
recover.

one of our Northwestern 'blizzards,
with the thermometer 20 degrees
below zero and the driest of dry
winds sweeping over the county at
the rate OF forty miles an hour, is
liable to reduce the vitality of our
pear trees more than the maturing
of a dozen crops of pears. And
one Of our Summer thunder show
ers, preceded by the lowest posi-
BILE barometer, and followed by a
roaring, crashing, shifting wind OF
fifty miles an hour, and accompan'
led by roaring, dashng, tearing
rain, or perhaps hail, and then by
three or four days Of very
sultry weather, ending up with a
rushing dry northwest wind with
a very high barometer, is also rath
er weakening to pear tree vitality;
also a long unbroken drouth OF
weeks, with the Thermometer each
day at or near one hundred degrees
plus, in the shade, may have a sim
liar effect.
No sir: the conditions are not
right, nor never can be made right
in this great western country Tor

any of the varieties now generally
known and planted.
We suggest that we now end the
discussion Of the pear blight ques-
ton until some one can hold up
their hand and say: 81 have found
something new and practical;" and
we will venture to say that no hand
will be truthlully raised during
this generation.

Sheep IEusbandry
PAsTURING AND MANAGEMENT.

Lambs are usually allowed to
suckle for months. They are call
ed lambs until the first two perma-
nent teeth appear. which is at one
year old. To wean them it is a
good plan to turn them in withthe
ewes only at night, for some ten
days before separating them entire
ly; it thus accustoms them to be
apart. and gradually reduces the
flow of milk, aud tile lamb Is IN
duced TO take more feed, salt, &c
The eve should be put on poor pas
ture, while the lamb should be put
upon richer. If they can be kept
sepsrate and far enough apart SO as
not to hear each othsr, it is bet
ter.
Good management must follow
the selection OF a good flock sheep
can no more be neglected than any
other live stock. The true princl-
pies of breeding must be followed,
and proper care and feeding' with
the one idea Of keeping the sheep in
the most vigorous state of health.
Sheep will thrive and live with per-
haps as little care as any stock, but
none will more amply pay judi
cious feeding and management.
Clay soils are not well adapted
for sheep raising-they arc Two wet
and easily compacted those Of
limestone and sandstone formation
are best, because more dry and pO-
rus, and from being more easily
aerated, produce the sweetest and
most nutritious grasses.
Sheep pastures should be as near
the dwelling as possible, for it ena
bles the owner more readily 10 over
look and feed his flock; and the
sheep to be aware OF the protection
affo del; they will pasture more in
dustriously and thrive better. The
fences should be high and tight,
such as will offer no inducement ior
Jumping and wandering. Barb wire
fences are to be deprecated, as
they tear the-wool; We have seen
young lambs force their way
through them. leaving their wool
dangling from the barbs' and tLey
presenting ragged appearance.

SHEEP-FOLDS.

4 fold should lie provided Of lib
eral size, with q fence that is dog
proof. 80 that the sheep may be
herded in at night, safe from the
greatest drawback to keeping them
worthless ours. The objection
to folding sheep at night Is that in
warm weather they feed at night
time, and it is ALI objection TO have
10 withdraw them from their feed
ing grounds just when they feed
best, They can be taken in at the
close Of twilight, and put out again
at daybreak, and thus they will
have the cool of the day to feed in.
With plenty OF bells attached 10
the flock an alarm is soon given.
A flock once seriously frightened by
dogs never again thoroughly re
cover their equanimity, and for a
long time after will not derive the
same benefit IRON their feeding. On
the inside Of the told should be pro
yided a shelter from the rain.which
can easily be made with a few boards
resting on the fence Co ner, and sup
ported by joist resting on a prop
Feeding racks and troughs are also
