MAHoNE AND eoRHAM.

It is said that Malone insists upon the
election of George Gorham as Secretary of
the Senate, and that though this step is
extremely distasteful to several Senators,
they viii take it rather than quarrel with
the Virginia demagogue. The fact is that
the Malone episode from first to last has
been most discreditable to the Republican
members of the Senate. No partisan ad-
vantage to be gained through the utilization
of that shameless champion of reputation
can Offset the loss of public esteem which
is inseparable from the adoption of such a
policy. Desperate attempts have been
made to persuade the country that Ma.
homes reputation is in some way harm
less kind, but all these endeavors are
useless. The man stands squarely and
Enthusiastically upon a platform Of naked
fraud and open chicenery, and in embrace
ing him the Republican Senators must
swallow that. Never was the depraving
power of faction more startlingly Illus
trated than in this case. We see here the
representatives of a party which is pledged
to honest finance above all else, coolly
abandoning that honorable position, and
as coolly adopting the very opposite one,
for no other purpose than to secure
some petty and thoroughly contempt.
ible partisan advantage. And Malone
is not disposed to spare them
one iota of the degradation they have sub
mitted to. He will force them to accept
Gorham as their Secretary. He will, that
is to say, force them to acsept man who
is VIGOROUSLY unfit for any honorable
Office who is branded with the ignominy
of association with the star route thieves /;
who has rendered himself justly odious to
the country by his rufhanly attacks upon
President Garfield while the latter lay dy-
ing. The Republican Senators ought to
understand that in this Malone affair they
have already strained their relations with
the rank and.file of the party, and that if
they are infatuated and weak enough to
yield to the Gorham proposition they will
have done much toward the production of
schism which viii wreck the party
hopelessly. There never was worse time
for any display OF the more revolving
phases Of partisanahip. The "stalwarts !"
must step warily if they expect to avoid
pitfalls. They assuredly must not calcu-
late at all upon the further forbearance of
the masses of the party. in the face of any
offensive manifestation of their peculiar
tenets.

PRECIPITAT1NG THINGS.

It is rumored that the Land Leagues are
about to proclaim general strike against
rent. If they do this it viii have the effect
of precipitating crisis, for it viii throw the
whole country into state OF anarchy.
That is, of course, provided the policy Of
the League is adopted by the people, and
this is by no means sure sequence. FoI
while the Leaguers have made great deal
of noise. and while Boy cottirg has produced
a good deal of terrorism, it does not follow
that a proposition, which at one blow cuts
the ground not only from under the land
lords but from under the tenant farmers,
would be adopted. In effect this is d.
rect bid for the support of the laborer
class, but whether it viii succeed remains
to be seen. If resort to Boycotting can be
prevented, the strong probability is that
the new move viii fail to gain the assent
of the majority of the Irish people. As
Henry George is now on his way to Ireland
to preach coniscation, however, perhaps
he may convert the whole nation to his
unique and peculiar ideas on the subject Of
the ownership of land.

Farmers daughters.

A great deal has been said and
written concerning the rights of far
mers' boys, but nothing about the
girls. 1t is q common thing for far
mers to pay their sons fair wages for
their work, yet the daughters do mot
receive dollar from month to month.
Why should this difference exist be-
tween the farmers girl and the boy 2
The former is quite as much entitled
60 a reward for services as the latter.
In truth, the farmers girl is frequent
ly the more valuable of the two. She
is expected, in many cases, to arise
very early, get breakfast, clean up the
house and prepare the other meals re-
Quired through the day or, if not, to
at least aid in all these household du-
ties. In addition she is locked upon
by father, mother aud brother to en-
tertain company to act tho hostess at
least as q creditable second to tho
mother, and while she may be the
pride of the family, and regarded a. O
sort of privileged character, yet much
is expected from her in ten thousand
features Of home life. Why, then,
should she not be encouraged with at
least as much pay as q boy? In
addition to that, the farmhouse should
be made as attractive as possible
with piano, plenty of books, nsws
papers and pictures cultivate taste
in the girls for flowers, etc. These
feantures, with q moderate amount Of
work, should produce happy and
contented home farm life.

Renovatinx worn.oat Iand.

No good farmer viii allow his fields to
become exhausted by excessive cropping
but will adopt timely measures for keep
ing up their fertility; but should they be-
come reduced for bad management, the
question of renovating IL one of the
very first Importance. II the farmer
has an abundance of good dressing, the
question Is easy of solution; but where
large acres are to be restored the ma
nure heap Is likely to fail, and some 9TH
or plan must be adopted. The choice in
such case, lies between green manur-
ing and sheep. Land whose fertility
has become quite low will produce de-
cent oFop of clover by the aid of liberal
application OF plaster, and this clover,
when plouging under, acts wonderfully
10 restoring the lost fertility OF the soil.
Buckwheat will flourish upon soil too
poor for corn and wheat, and, next to
clover, Is perhaps the best crop for green
manuIlnG. Both should be turned nm
der when In full bloom. The value of
sheep for restoring rnn-out grass lands 10
to well known to require anything
more than simple mention. 1t las
been successfully practised for genera
lions, and yet there are many farmers
who complain of ruR-out lands, who
keep no sheep at all. Aside from their
value in restoring worn out lands to fer
tility, there IL no stock the farmer can
keep that paws so well, and thai 30 many
farmers do not keep them is a wonder.
We asked one farmer the question the
other day, and his reply was that his
fences were too poor. In other words,it
would require q little labor to repair
his fences.

st. swithin.s Day.

To day, Friday, the 10th of July,
will be St. Swithin's Day, about which
there is an adage that it rains or ID
fair upon that day the will be con-
tinuous track of wet or dry weather
for the forty days ensuing.
"st. swithin's Day, If thou dost rain,
For forty days IL will remain;
st. owithin's Day, IL tb on be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae matr."
st. Swithin was Bishop of Winches-
ter In s82, and was noted for his up
rightness and humility. So far did he
carry the latter quality that on his
death bed he requested to be buried,
not within the church, but outside In
the church yard, where his grave
might receive the eaves-droppings
from the roof and be trodden BY. the
ieet of tho passers-by. His lowly re-
quest was complied with and In this
neglected spot his remains reposed for
a hundred years, when a fit of indig-
nation seized the clergy that the body
of SO pious member of their order
being allo ed to occupy such a posi-
tion. Accordingly on certain fifteenth
day of July they all assembled to con-
vey St. Swithin's body with great
pomp into the adjoining cathedral Of
Winchester. Whom they were about
to commence the ceremony a heavy
rain burst forth, and continued without
intermission for the forty succeeding
days. The monks Interpreted this
tempest as warning from heaven of
the impious nature of their attempt to
contravene the directions of St, Swith-
in, and instead Of disturbing his re-
mains they erected chapel over
them, at which many astounding mira
Giles are said to have been performed.
From this circumstance arose the
popular belief Of the prophetic char
acter OF the weather on St. Swithin's
day. 8jg. 1Nf All T.
