Embryo Senators.

Tho past week has made several con-
tribntions to the United States Senate.
In Maine Eugene Hale will succeed
Hannibal lIamlin. Tho venerable
Hannibal has been an office holder for
about fifty years, and he now rctircs
chiefly because he has lost his grip.
Hale was the leader of the Republicans
in tho House until tho Fusion victory
in Maine rcmandcd him to private life
four years ago.
Newton Booth, Of California, is sue
cecded by General Miller, also Re-
publican, popular man Of medium
calibre. Sharon, the absentee, is re-
placed by Fair, the bonanza king, who
bought up Nevada for hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. This isa Demo
cratic gain.
Congcr will figure in the Senate
from Michigan for the next six wears.
DC is said to be lean and hungry
Cassius, dyspcptic in appearance and n
perpetual snarlcr, unless he happens
to be witty. lie hates rebel brigadicrs

nomination was practically unani-
nous. lle is "brigadicr" and has
made respectable, though not bril-
liant, record.
Joe Browns election from Georgia
has already been announced. Already
he has taken n very prominent posi-
ton, both because Of his ability and
of tho uncertainty as to his political
course. he says that hc is one Of the
organized Democracy, but insists that
tho world has moved ana that the
South must move with it.

RICHMOND COUNTY, GEORGIA, is to
enjoy contested election for sheriff.
A fcw days ago Daniel beat Pritchard
sixty-cight votes in n total Of about
four thousand. And now Pritclard
claims that at least six hundred per-
sons voted in Augusta and the sur
rounding country who were minors or
had not paid their taxes. From all
accounts it would appear that the
tax qualification clause in tho Georgia
Constitution is dead letter, as it is
claimed that over q thousand illegal
votes were cast indiscliminately for
tho two candidates. Tho Governor
decides the contest. Augusta has for
several years allowed scrub races. This
is the result rs it is a warning to other
places. AS matters now go, the best
man does not always receive the nomi-
nation Of the Democratic party. Much
worse is it when the decision is left to
all voters irrespective of party, cspeci-
ally when tho ignorant and vicious arc
in the majority. Colonel Mcclure, of
the Philadelphia Times, says it will be
a bad day for tho South when party
lines are broken down and tho igno-
rant colorcd voter comes in as the bal
nncc Of power. lie is right.

REFORM FOE IRELAND.
Tho 0uoon's Speech on tho Assembling OF
Parliament.


Parliament.
Iarliamcnt assembled in London on
Wednesday last. The Queens speech
touched on Irish affairs, asserting that
agrarian crimes have greatly increased
and that the administration has been
frustrated, with respect to these oiien-
scs, through the impossibility of pro-
curing evidence, and an extended sys-
TEN of terror has thus been established
in various parts Of the country, which
has paralyzcd almost alike the excr-
else OF private rights and the perform
ance OF civil duties. Ordinary meas
urcs having failed to preserve order,
she asks for additional legislation. She
adds: l continue to desire, not less
than heretofore, to prosecute the re-
moval of grievances and work of leg
islativc Improvement in Ireland, as
well rs to Great Britain.
TIE IRISH LAND ACT
Of 1870 has been productive Of great
benefits, and has much contributed to
tho security and comparative we'll
being Of the occupicrs Of the soil, with
out diminishing the value or disturb
ing the foundation Of prosperity. In
some respects, however, and more
particularly under the strain of recent
and calanitous years, the protection
which it supplied has not been found
sufficient either in Ulster or in the
other provinces. | recommend Won to
undertake the further development of
its principles in n manner comformablc
to the special wants Of Ireland, both
as regards the relation Of landlord and
| tenant, and with q view to effective
Efforts for giving to larger portion
OF The people, by purchase, 4 pcrma-
nent proprietary interest in the soil.
This legislation will require removal,
for the purposes in view, of all OBJ
structions arising out Of limitations on
the ownership Of property, with due
provision for the security of interests
involved. a measure will be sub
mitted to You for the establishment OF

OF confirming the popular control over

discovered in the main building on the
Stratford, N. H., County Farm about
4.3O o'clock on Friday morning. At
the time Of the discovery the flames
had made considerable headway and
many rooms were filled with smoke.
One hundred and sixty-nine persons
were in the building at the time and
great difficulty was experienced in got
ting. them out, some Of them having to
be dragged to place of safety. Thir-
teen persons arc missing and probably
lost their lives. The loss is estimated
at $40 900; insured for $25,00O. If the
weather had not been unusually warm
the loss Of life would have been much
heavier. The inmates who escaped
arc now clothed and sheltered through
the generosity of the neighbors and

from Dover, four miles away, was

ton on account Of tho snow on the

Cotton Fields and Cotton Mills.
[Chicago Times. !


Economists tell us that within
the next twenty years, America will
need 15,OOO,OOO Of new spindles,
with accompanying machinery, for
the transformation of the chief
product of Southern Agriculture
into other commodities of commerce.
Where, then, should these new
spindles be set in operation The
answer of economy is: Where the
Transformation of raw material can
be effected, and the new commodi-
ties be placed on the best markets
at the least cost. Obviously, then,
the cotton field, the cotton mill and
the railway centre should be
brought together.
The cotton field cannot be moved
from the southern latitude. Nature
has given to the southern third
of America, east of the continental
backbone, virtually a monopoly OF
this product for the world for,
though the climate and soil of In,
dia and portions Of Mexico and
South America are adapted to til
cultivation Of cotton, experiment

period Of the future the southern
portion of America will continue te
be the chief cotton producing region
Why may it not also be the chie1

that region a monopoly of the cot

How to Raise Cotton,

devoted exclusively to the interests
of cotton planters, manufacturers
and dealers:
David Dickson, Of Sparta, Ga,

Fair in Georgia, in 1869, for eigh-
teen bales Of cotton on six acres.
who before the war made s5OO.Oo0
in fifteen years by farming, having
begun with a capital of only s25,-
900, and was equally successful
after the war, thus laid down before
his death the rules by which he
was governed in the cultivation of
cotton:
Lay off rows four feet apart with
shovel plow, double furrow, and
put IN fertilizers eight inches deep.
Ridge with a long scooter, five
inches wide. Make the bed with
a turning plow, and subsoil the
turn-plow burrows; split out the
middle with shovel plov. Plant
with cotton seed sower, and cover
with board or harrow. First plow-
ing-run twenty-five inches sweep
with right wing turned down; hoe
out two or three stalks every nine
inches ten days after plowing.
Second plowing-use the same
sweep, the right wing turned up a
little more. Third plowing-same
way; run a third furrow in the
middle to level.
Cotton standing thick in the drill
will be much more forward in ma
turing.
Cotton only requires distance one
way.
On level land run the rows north
and south.
A cotton plant to stand two
weeks drouth must have four inches
subsoil; three weeks-six inches
soil and the same subsoil; four
weeks-eight inches soil and the
same subsoil.
To improve the cotton plant, Sc
lect seed every year after the first
picking, up to the middle Of Octo-
Der, taking the best stalks and the
best bolls Oh the stalks.
| From the 10th to Goth of April is
the best time to plant cotton.
| Plow every three weeks, and let
the hoes come ten days behind,
cleaning the cotton perfectly.
| Continue plowing till the 10Th OF
Goth OF August. Once or twice du
ring the season, shove out the mid
die with furrow, to keep the lane
level.
The blowing of cotton requires
one and a fourth days per acre.
