suCOEs,FUL SILK CULTURE.


We learn from the Aberdeen Erdniner
that Messrs. Bashaw and Roussel's silk
terprise is progressing admirably and prom
Uses the handsomest returns. Their first
crop was started with eight ounces of eggs,
of an extra quality and variety that do not
yield as beautifully as others, but produce
much finer article Of silk. The worms from
this crop have all passed from the feed-boxes
to the network of little brushes Just above,
where they are now spinning their cocoons.
From the eight ounces of eggs, We are in
formed by Mr.. Roussel that 400 pounds of
cocoons will be produced, 200 of which have
already been purchased by Mr.. L. s. Grozier
at 81 so per pound, for the sake OF the
choice and valuable variety of eggs to be OBJ
tanned from them, which he says would COM
mand the highest prices in any silk-growing
country, especially in France. Mr.. Crozier
takes the remaining 200 pounds at seventy
five cents, making total of $3.50 for the first
crop from eight ounces of eggs. Three diff
ferent crops have been successfully Matched.
Several other parties in Aberdeen are en-
gagged in silk culture and are doing very
satisfactorily.

COLONEL MANNISG's NoMISATIoS
heretofore now point to this action on
the court division proof that, IN fact, he
never was friendly to Lafayette county, and
only pretended to be 50 when he needed
votes to vanquish his political opponents.
This Of course works up the average man 10
a white heat; this strikes his neighbor, and
through him some one else, until the num-
bers increase to formidable opposition. II
there was ever a chance for 4 candidate to
oppose Manning for the nomination, matters
would not have reached this point. But the
people feel that Manning will be thrust
upon them again, Notwithstanding their OPP
position, and they are almost ready 10 do
anything, except vote Tor Chalmers. This
they will not do; but there will be a large
enough number vino will not vote at all to
let the county go by default. In other word,
Lafayette county cries out to the Democracy
not to force Manning upon her, and that if
they do, Lafayette will not answer for the
disastrous consequences. IN FOR PEACE.

MINISTEs LOWELL.

A very strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon President Arthur TO recall Min
lister Lowell, who is one of our best poets,
keenest humorists, and finest sfter-dinner
speakers, but is not diplomatist-at least
of the robustius American school, which is
able with perfect composure to hear the
British lion roar and go him one better. Mr..
Lowell, as becomes poet, is a sentimentaiist
who can get down TO individual cases like
that of the murderer Lamson, bDt cannot
himself understand, or understanding cannot
throw himself with fine poetic ardor into
the complications created by our fellow-eIti-
zens of Irish descent. He does not seem to
take to Irish affairs and therefore should re-
sipn. He has allowed the Irish Americans
to Ianguish in jails as Suspects" and seems
to have taken for granted all that was sala
of them BY the British authorities. For this
alone he should be recalled. American law
covers the American citizen wherever ne may
90. and assures to him speedy trial. Mr.
Lowell ought to be recalled or he should rt-

THE KING OF THE Pillow.
PAUL H. HAYNE.

The sword is resheathed in the scabbard,
The rifle hangs safe on the wall;
No longer We quail at the hungry
Hot rush of the ravenous ball
The war-cloud has hurled its last lightning,
It's last awful thunders are still
While the demon of conflict in hades
Lies fettered in force in will:
Above the broad fields that he ravsged,
What monarch rules blissfully now?
Oh crown him with bays that are bloOdlesS-
The king, the brave king of the pillow.

Has ever swayed earth by his rod?

a homely but bOuntiful God
He stands where in earth's sure protection
The seed grains are scattered and sown,
To uprise in serene resurrection
When spring her soft trumpet hath blOwni
A monarch. yea, more than a monarch
Though toil-drops are thick on his brow;

while tyrants were blinded with blOod)
He reared the pure ensign of Ceres
By meadow and noun tain and flood
And the long, leafy gold of his harvests
The earth-sprites and air sprltes had spun
Grew rhythmic when swept by the breezes,
Grew royal, when kissed by the sun;
Before the stern charm of his patience
With roek-rooted forces must bow
Come, crown him with corn leaf and wheat leaf

The bloom OF his heritage CLOVIS;

The star Route TriaIs.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Star-route
trials began this morning. Before entering
pleas, the defendants counsel proceeded to
offer numerous motions, most of them mo-
tons to quash based on alleged errors in the
indictment, apparent on its face. Mr.. Inger-
soil took up the motions in succession, max
ing long and exhaustive argument on each
of them.
McSweeny, for the defense, spoke three
hours, and was answered by Bliss.
At the close of the argument, Judge Wylie
said the points presented nothing different
from those already disposed of in former
cases. He held that the conspiracy, its OBJ
jects and part of the overt acts
were set out as specifically as was
needful, but for the ingenuity of consul he
could not suppose there could be anything
wrong with an Indictment like this. Some
of the thirty-ive overt acts might be OBJ
jectionable, but one was enough under the
law. His examination had revealed only
one decisive overt act.
Mr.. Carpenter neted an exception TO this
ruling.
This disposed of the motion in Dorsey 3
case, and Wilson called up his motion in
Turner's behalf, but before he fairly entered
upon his argument court adjourned.
