lT the sheep are TO be made the
most OF, they must he regularly well
fed during all the winter. Particu.
larly is this the case with the ewes.
The double profit Of fleece of first.
class wool and n good strong lamb
cannot be expected without generous
feeding. The straw stack system will
not answer. Cool hay and corn
stalks will, IL backed by a small daily
ration of grain. Nothing answers
better for this than corn and oats in
equal quantities. This cannot be be.
gun too soon. While they are yet
on the late fall pasture, a gill or two
of the grain to each eve will prove
profitable investment, and when the
snow flies this may be doubled with
great advantage. For sheep IL is no
gain TO grind the grain. Their di.
gestive powers are Of the hest, and
they can do their own grinding with
less waste than any other farm stock.
II will be mistake TO withhold all
grain during the early part of the
winter, and then give double por.
tion for short time. A bushel OF
grain divided into half pints, and fed
regularly for hundred and twenty.
eight days will prove much more
profitable than II fed a quart at
time, aud all used up In . month,
leaving the animal without any for
the other three.

A LESSON OF SELF DEPENDENCE.

Bess was out in the summer house,
playing with her dolls. when her broth
err Dick came running in. very red in
the face. talking very fast. ''Say, Bess.
gramma's come, an she's brought you
| somefn.' Come an see what"
Bess jumped up in such a hurry that
she upset the dolls teatable. and left
the dolls themselves lying in a state OF
pitiable helplessness upon their faces,
and scattered the tea things about in
dire confusion.
~ hope it's that croquet set" she
said.'
Now, Bess had all manner of play
things books, dolls, dishes. and the
like. all more or less soiled and broken,
but she did not have what she thought
she most desired "a croquet set.
1t was her own fault too. for her
mother often said that the child should
have it in a moment, only she knew
| very we'll how it would be. Bess was
so careless that before the end of the
first week she would get tired of it,
and then the mallets would get broken
and the balls lost ; SO she had to make
the best of it. Besides, if Bess had
saved out of her months allowance of
spending money, which she wasted on
every occasion, she would have had
enough to have bought two or three
croquet sets.
Then Miss Bessie wrote to grand
mother, and told her how much she
wanted it, confidently expecting that
the kind old lady would crafty her.
But she was mistaken; grandmother
had another plan.
She threw her arms around the dear
old lady's neck and kissed her. After
they had talked awhile she said:
bessie, my dear, l have brought
you something. Go out on the porch,
and lift the lid of my willow basket

ELECTION La ".

The editor OF the Morgan City
Free Press ha>been singing very In
CubriOus sons abont the election
law passed by the last Legislature.
He pretcnds to have discovered a
very extraordinary mares nest in
relation to the passage OF that law,
and wants to know why Democra
tic editors do not clear up the mys
terry his logical mind has discover
ed. So far as we are concerned we
have to say that the authority that
he quotes is not strong enough to
cause any worry in the matter.
The Law was passed and will be
put in force. 1t is refreshing to
peruse the bright eroonat;ons of sc
MUS that occasionally bursts forth
from the brains of Republican Ed
tors on the subject of elections.
They have entirely forgotten the
unparalleled meanness, duplicity
and rascality of the laws the Radi
cal leaders enacted aud enforced
here a few years ago. They do not
seem TO remember the returning
tricks of Anderson, Wells, and their
villainous assistants. They have
forgotten how they held elections
here, aud allowed no Democratic 70
ter to know where the voting
booths were to be placed until the
morning of election day, when they
were found stuck in the back part
of plantations, iu secret dens, and
in such a manner as to prevent any
Democrat from voting without
much inconvenience aud loss of
time. Their memories are precious
short on that subject! This same
editor of the Free Press upholds
the validity Of the election in Frank
lin, some weeks ago, for delegates
to the Republican convention in
Donaldson7ille, when there were
800 more votes counted than were
voters present and in the next
breath falls into spasms because
there may possibly be an illegal
vote at the next election.
In conclusion we have only to
add, that there is nothing practical
~ wrong in the present law, that
under its regulations every voter
can cast his vote, and have it coun
ted, that all elections necessarily
must have a returning officer. Fur
thermore, the law was not passed,
nor promulgated with any idea OF
pleasing the Free Press or other pa
pers of that stamp, and if they are
not satisfied, it doesn't make a par
ticle of difference.

Mr.. Tilden's Income Tax Case.

WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 16-Solicitor-
General Phillips to-day when case No.
1877 was called in the Supreme Court
moved for and obtained dismissal and
a discontinuance. Case No. 157 is known
as the appeal of President Tilden from
the judgment of the Circuit Court of
New York, ruling his demurrer to
the suit instituted against him by order
of the late alleged President Hayes to
recover alleged income taxes. II ap-
peared on the calendar as Samuel j.
Tilden, appellant, versus the United
States. It seems that the present law
officers of the Government, after ex.
amining into the merits of the case, re-
gard the suit as untenable in law or
fact, and this action, taken entirely
without pressure from Mr. Tilden, is
regarded as an honorable discharge of
the elected President of 1876 from the
imputations put on him by the fraudu-
lent President in the suit
Thus has apother shameless attempt at
blackmail, made by the perjurers and
torgers and scoundrels who also put
Hayes into Office, come to nought. Clear
in the right Gov. Tilden never for one
moment gave way to the fraudulent,
blackmailing demand upon him, and
thus the perjury which Instituted that
suit exposes itself. To him it must be
matterof great qualification, as it is also
to every honest man in the country.
