The local elections in Virginia last
Thursday, so far as heard from, seem to
pan out badly for the Malone Republi-
can Readjuster combination. Lynch
burg, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Alexan-
dria have given more than the usual
Democratic majorities. the number of
votes cast considered. Frederick county,
at one time controlled by the Malone
Republican combination, has once more
taken her place in the Democratic
column, whilst Rockingham county, the
heretofore stronghold of the Readjusters
and the home of Congressman-elect Paul,
has repudiated the coalition and elected
the Democratic candidates for clerks of
the county and Circuit Courts.

1t is reported in New York that in the
event of the present Legislature being
unable to elect successors to Conkling
and Platt and the Democrats having any
show of sending a Senator to the capital,
Samuel ]. Tilden will be a candidate for
that Office. The objection having been
raised to this scheme that Tilden's health
was delicate, the Springfield Republican
replies that this story is played" that
it has been circulated, time and time
again, and that Tilden has never been
found in too feeble health to perform his
political duties.

New York city will soon be a network
of railroads. First, it is covered with
surface roads; above these are the ele-
waited roads, and now it is proposed to
build underground roads to facilitate
rapid transit between the eastern and
western shores of the island. The ex-
pense of digging the necessary tunnels
will be very great, but the capitalists
who propose to embark in the enterprise
do not appear to be alarmed By this or
by the failure of the "L" roads to pay
expenses.

Republican organs which saw no harm
in the coalition with Debt-Repudistor
Malone in the Senate, are now endorsing
the decision of the administration against
a Republican coalition in Virginia with
Mahone's followers. Their approval of
the former coalition was the result of a
knowledge that thereby their party
would capture the Senate committees !;
their disapproval of the proposed coali-
ton in Virginia is prompted by the GER
tsinty that nothing can be gained
thereby. The question of partisan loss
or gain determines all Republican move
ments.

Some experiments, lately made on
Northern roads to test the rapidity with
which trains can be run, have met with
great success. Engine No. 10. of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, demonstrated
last week her ability to make a mile in
ffty-seven- seconds, up grade, against
wind and drawing long train. 1t is
found, however, that these large engines
are heavy consumers of coal; that there
is considerable danger in running at this
speed and great wear and tear to the
rails. So that, while the practicabilitY
of the scheme is demonstrated, it re-
mains very doubtful whether these
lightning trains are not too expensive
luxuries.

The prohibitory liquor law Of Kansas
has already minimized the German i'm
migration. The Nebraska, Dakota and
Minnesota agents are warning Germans
not to go where they can not get their
beer, and are inducing them to turn
their backs on Kansas We do not OBJ
serve that the Kansas agents are making
any efforts to get up negro exodus
boom. They might start an exodus of
strictly total abstinence negroes from the
South.

1t was a cause of complaint among
civil service reformers that Hayes used
the Federal offices as rewards for servi-
ces rendered. The same charge may be
brought against the Garfield admins
tration. 1t, too, is dealing out offices in
reward for political services. The only
difference is that the services rewarded
by Hayes were rendered in connection
with the great fraud of 1857, while
those rewarded by Garfield are mostly
fractional and were rendered in the
course of the movement for the defeat
of Grant last year. The abuse OF pow
er is the same in each case. The Gar
field administration is not in favor of
reform, except in instances where it
may be used in the promotion of fac
tional projects.

The situation at Albany now points
Enthusiastically to dead lock. The bal
loting will open with a triangular fight,
and viii, no doubt, continue in that
shape for some time, if the Legislature
remains long in session. Then, to avoid
the warm work necessary in a political
contest during the summer months, it is
quite likely that a recess will be taken.
In such event Mr.. Conkling will attempt
to make hay while the sun shines. But
meantime, it may be assumed, his oppo-
nents will not be idle.

WONDERFUL TREEs-The fir tree
growths of Puget Sound form one of the
wonders of tie American world. They
average 200 feet in height. and some
specimens have been cut that measured
go feet in length and twelve in diam
eter at the base. with a straight and
well-pTopOrtioued log length of ninety
feet to the first limb. The cedar trees
are in like proportion, and are valuable
for wooden wares of al kinds. while the
fir are the best foI spar and ship timber
yet found in any country. There are
lew nations that do not use them in

water, and this, heated by the friction
OF the two plates, circUlates through
pipes, warming the loom through which
they run just as steam pipes do. The
water IS kept in constant circulation in
these pipes, returning TO the cylinder. to
be heated over again. The water in the
cylinder, which is brought to a high de-
gree OF heat IN a remarkably short time
keeps the plates fabricated. preventing

Mistakes of PENNSYLVANIA Farmers.

In the amount and value of her agri-
cultural products Pennsylvania deserves
a high place amog the States of the
Z Union. OF course, such honor has been
secured for her by her farmers, whose
toll, intelligence and energy have made
her, IN this respect. what she is. She
may well be proud OF them, and .hey
have much ground for thinking well of
themselves in view of the results spoken
of.
And yet, we venture to say, that in
consideration Of climate, soil. markets,
labor and government, they have not
done what they could, which is but say
ing they have not done what they
should. We propose to present, in a
few articles, some of the mistakes which
may be charged against many of them.
1. Desiring too much land. OF course,
to be a farmer without having the con-
troll of some land is impossible but
multitudes err by oyerstimuIating the
amount which is needful to make good
living and tneamOuntwhich their expert
ence, ability and capital justify them
IN taking charge of. L is at least fool
ish, if indeed it is not a crimes for man
to grasp after quantity of land so great
that he has not strength enough to cul-
tIyate It, or means sufficient to fairly de-
velOp and draw out its resources. Null
titudes of farmers are land pOor-poor
because of the excess of thier land above
their possession Of the other essentials
OF success. With three or four hum
dred acres, which they are proud to call
their own, they have not buildings
stock hands, Implement and manure
enough properly TO farm fifty.
In several of our counties there are
men who, with their families, would be
blessed if some one could legally take
away all their land but the fifty acres
lying around their buildings, and leave
with them everything else they have.
except their debts.
:. Too many fences. Not satisfied with
an extra fence by which to make the
boundary of his possessions and Keep out
the wandering stock of the neighbor-
hood, the Pennsylvania farmer glOries in
multltudes of interior fences-fences
about little patches which he calls fields.
fences about his orchard and garden.
and OF course, fence about his house.
Now, taking just as it is our Gnreason-
aOle law about fencing out oar neigh
borS cattle, no good reason can be given
Tor custom which involves such waste
OF land, timber and time. Is itnOt true
that the fences i'm Pennsylvania have
cost more than the land they enclose
would sell Tor
We believe there are very few cases
in which a farmer cannot satisfactorily
carry on his business with no other
fences than the one around the outside
of his farm and the one enclosing the
yard IN which he keeps his live stock.
And we believe the day will be much
better for him than this in which the
wisdom and Justice of our legislators
viii lead them to enact a law requiring
every man TO fence in his own stock.
and thus save to the Oyerburdened farm
er the immense sums now spent in fenc-
ing out the generally worthless stock Of
his neigLbOTs.-JumCS Calder, IN Farm
eris Friend.
