THE Madison correspondent of the

upon the alleged purpose of Senator
Sawyer not to interfere in the matter
of electing delegates to the State con-
yention as follows:
1.-The declarations made by the
United States Senators and in their be-
half, few weeks ago, that they were
STAYING out OF the canvass for State
officers, and had absolutely refused to
help Gen. Rusk TO the nomination in
order to avoid complaints and the
charge that they were seeking 10 con-
troll the politics of the State through a
ring. now appears to be sufficiently
ridiculous to form the theme Ola COM
edy. There never was such work being
done, in this State, to control a State
convention by packing the delegates
rs is now visible in nearly every
county. The vineyard is full of work
ers. This fact has, somehow, impaired
confidence in Senator Philetus Saw
yers good faith as a politician, for he
assured both Bingham and Warner,
and all whom he thought were their
friends, that he should i'll no way in
terfere in the canvass.

THE senatorial syndicate last winter
promised Tom Scott the gubernatorial
nomination, but when the time come
to begin "setting 'em up, .Rusk was
preferred, and they letScott down very
easily by telling him that the liquor in
terests would be arrayed against him
because of his vote for the anti-treat-
ing law. That pretext looked little
gauzy but it had the desired effect, as
it was at once announced "by author
ity'' that Scott was no longer candi-
date. The story is now out that Gen.
eral Rusk works and votes with the
temperance people, and the opinion is
expressed in a Milwaukee paper that
should he be nominated he will very
likely lose the German vote because of
his temperance prOclivities.

hone Dust and Wood Ashes.

A farmer in Indiana gives the follow:
ing result of an experiment with bone
dust and wood ashes. He says II ar-
piled six hundred pounds of dry, UNI
leached ashes to the acre, and sowed
wheat on that, and the result was only
six bushels to the acre. Adjoining this
tract | drilled in two hundred pounds
of bone-dust, and the three acres pro-
duced twenty bushels to the acre, being
an increased yield of fourteen bushels
over the tract sown with wood ashes.
The following year | used five hundred
pounds of bonc-dust on the plat where
| had previously sown six hundred
pounds of ashes, and the result was
forty bushels of wheat to the acre, being
double what the bone produced alone.
This experiment satisfied me that ashes
alone or bone-dust alone would not
give me n yield that paid to my sat s.
faction. This acre with ashes yielded
six bushels, the acre with bone-dust
yielded twenty bushels, but when the
two were combined | harvested forty
bushels. This shows what experiments
and n small expenditure of money will
do for the progressive farmer"

Silver from Mexico.

Six tons of ore from the San Miguel
and Roucesvallcs mines, three hundleal
miles from Chihuahua, Mexico, were
recently received at the works on Wind
mill Island, opposite Philadelphia, and
it is expected will produce about $780,
600 of silver. The mines are those nov
being operated by Ex-Governor Shep-
pard, Of Washington, who is at present
introducing new machinery, nccessitat-
ing the closing Of tho reduction works
for at least six months. This is ono
cason why the ore was sent to Pbila-
delphia, but there was another reason :
the tax imposed by Mexico for silver
bars taken out Of the country is ten per
cent, while there is no tax on the ore,
and the shipment was an experiment to
save tho tax if the freights will leave n
margin for profit. This ore was carried
on pack horses three hundred miles over
the mountains to I'll Paso, and came the
rest of the way by railroad,

1t is early to make the suggestion for
saving the seed corn, but it is always in
time to make a useful sug gestion such
as we have frequently had occasion to
present in regard to the greatly in
creased crop to be obtained from the
securing of good seed. The Cincinnati
Enquirer says "We do not think we
would be far out of the way if we were
to assert that the farmers of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois end West Virginia are
losing a million dollars annually on &C.
count of their neglect in properly select
ing their seed corn. Going through the
field in September, and selecting the
best ears before the husks are entirely
dry, and leaving two or three husks on
each ear, then braiding from six to ten
airs together, and hanging them up in
some dry ~place-all this is somewhat
troublesome, but it pays grandly for
the farmer provides himself with the
best possible seed corn. 1t is not only
u + to come up, but being possessed in
the highest d~egree.of vitality, the corn
plants will show no puny growth, but
will exhibit a rank, healthy and vigor-
Gus growth from the start. And where
a farmer neglects to save his own seed
corn, and he has a neighbor who attends
to it in the manner described, he had
better go to such neighbor and buy his
seed corn of him, even if he has to pay
four times the regular market price of
corn"

The Man Who Watched.

A day or two ago, soon after the hour
Of noon, an individual who seemed to
be laboring under considerable ex-
element entered a grocery store on
Michigan avenue and ask for a private
word with the. proprietor. When the
request had been granted he explained

husband, and / want to verify my sus-
picians by watching a house on the
other street. This l can best do from
the rear Of your store. Have you any
objections to my taking seat back there
by the open Window
The grocer granted the favor, and the
agitated stranger walked back and took
a seat on a box of Goldfish and began his
watch. His presence had almost been
forgotten when he returned to the front
of the store, with hasty step and quiy-
ering voice, and said
"Great heavens! but I'll kill her
Yes, I'll shoot her through the hearth
"Your wife ?"
eyes, my idolized Mary! 1 can no
longer doubt her guilt, and I'll be a
murderer in less than ten minutes"
The grocer tried to detain him, but
he broke away and rushed around the
corner. Not hearing anything further
of him for half an hour, the grocer
began to investigate, and he discovered
that fourteen rolls of butter, a crock of
lard, two hams, and other stuff had left
the back end Of the store by way of the
window at which the wNtchful husband
was stationed Detroit Free Press,
