Ensilage for Dairy Cows.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, understanding the uncer-
tainitv prevailing in the minds of many
farmers "a to the value Of ehsilage rs q
cattle food, gives his experience Us fol-

GRAIN CRoPs.-Farmers and the pub
lie generally estimate the yield per acre
of grain crops too highly. Statistics
show that the average for corn in the
United States is "a bushels to the acre,
wheat ~, oats 23, barley 22, and rye IL.
II will be seen that Iowa heads the list
of states in the average of corn. And
vet forty-one aud fifty-eight hundredths
bushels is SO low that scarcely any one
is willing to acknowledge that he has
so small a crop. Some papers are re-
porting that T cxas is going TO have q
full crop OF corn this year. Texas is a
great state for some things, but corn Is
not its forte and never will be. You

Shameless Prostitution Of Power.
NEW YORK, September G, 1882.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
wish to congratulate you and your CO.
workers, Mr.. Editor, at the bright pros
pect of the total overthrow of the de-
spoilers Of Virginia's honor, and to restore
to the Conservatives the political control OF
the State at your next election.
In your late issues am glad to see that
the more intelligent and respectable por-
ton OF the negro voters Of Virginia are re-
pudiating Mahonc's political companion
ship, leaving him to gravitate to the iSno-
rant and vicious OF their race.
1t is an open secret that the little repudl-
atOr, clothed with authority at Washing
ton, demands five per cent. of the Federal
ofiice-holders of Virginia Of their respective
salaries as contribution TO q fund to be
used in your coming election for the inter-
est OF the Malone party. Refusal TO pay is
followed by instantaneouSd dismissal. His
order to that effect is law in all the Depart
ments. No matter how loyal Republican
the recusant may be, or how excel
lent an officer he is, ii he fails to
answer the highwayman's call reno
val is the penalty. The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Times
writes that Malone is trying to re-
trieve the fallen fortunes of his party by
staying and working at Washington. "Thc
figure OF the quaintly-dressed and physically
isignificant-lookng General is familiar
one about the departments here. Day by
day the Senator is TO be met within the
offices of the chiefs OF divisions, traversing
the corridors from one to another with the
hasty step OF a busy man, and his energy,
| it is apparent, never tires. The most in
duStrious seeker after place could not
with greater pertinaclty haunt the CORR
doris Of one department more persiStently
than General Malone does all of them. 1t
| has become generally understood, through
the admission of the Senator himself, rs well
as through other sources, that he means
business in his visits to the departments,
and the official axe and the official pen are
welded more frequently in the dismissal
and appointment because Of these visits.
The Senator has a list Of the appointment
of Nirginians, and they stand ut his plea
sure"
When honest toll shall have paid the last
unwilling tribute to dcbasing ambition
which "stand-and-deliver" can command,
and this wrecky little savage can find no
further victim for his tOmahawk and scalp
ing-kniie, how will the Virginia Senator
then appear?
The New York Sun says: "Mahone's
following in Virginia is growing small by
degrees and beautifully less, and when the
spols are distributed there will be nothing
left of him but played-out trickster,
who pro1ited by his opportunity and de-
ceiyed all who trusted him." When hi,
mischieyous Vaccinations shall have been
thwarted and all his power to injure his
State become an Mium fit, stunned by all
good men, it doubtless will seem fit,
for the sake of uniformity, to change his
name slightly and dub him little Major.

pIane's CiviI-service Platform.


BLAINE Is an interesting figure IN Ameri-
can politics. He declines to "subside,"
but, on the contrary. iudiciously keeps
himself before the people. At mass
meeting held at winterport, Me-, on We'd
nesday, in referring to civil-service reform,
both local and national, he said Of the lat
ter that he should be glad to see every
Federal officer, however honorable his posi-
ton, appointed for a specific period, du-
ring which he could not be removed
be specified, proved, and made mat
ter OF record. He should be glad
to see the tenure Of all subordinate officers
made longer at least than presidential
term, so that the incoming Of new Adj
ministration would not be crippled or IN
jurcd. Seven years would be good
length for q term, and would effect the de-
sired end. He did not believe that life
tenure would be wise even II practicable,
and was sure 1t was not practicable, be-
cause II means pensions in the end, and
might create q "privileged class y; nor
was he sure that lfc-tenure insures the
best, most faithful, and most honorable
service, but believed man would
be better officer II his commits
sion should expire at stated periods,
and his disappointment depend upon
his efficiency. 1t will, said he, prove Tar
easier task to educate public opinion to the
renewal of appointments to efficient and
valuable officers, with sufficient salary to
enable them to lay by something for a rainy
day, than it will to get popular consent to
life-tenures, with pensions to large civil
list, constantly growing in number and
constantly provoking opposition in the
popular mind. This system belongs to
royalty, and he did not believe that il could
be domesticated in this republic, and that
those who agitate it will ever reach prac-
tical result.

To Visit His OutDOsts.

1t is said that General Malone intends
so to speak, to ride around his line and in
spect his Outposts. The time was when he
did this sort Of work, and did it with cease
less vigilance; but then he found himself
at the head OF white Virginians, who, as at
the Crater, made him famous.
NOio, however, he will find Gumbo on
duty, and white men with him who don'i
mind drinking out OF Gumbo's canteen. in
the sight of a Disguised public, and at the
head OF them he wins not fame nor GOOD
report OF any OF his former friends or
countrymen.
And. more than this, he will find that
his (politicaD "bayonets" have becun to

Is too little for the service, the promotions

short, that MIR. Titmouse's famous bill "to

Demand for Dwelling-Houses.

The real estate agents are unanimous in
reporting a great demand for dwelling
houses. There are often calls for large
houses, but the most frequent inquiries are
for houses the rental whereof is between
three and four hundred dollars per annum.
One hundred such could be supplied with
tenants in forty-eicht hours.
There are very few vacant residences in
the city; none indeed that are Of modern
construction and in good order and well To-
Gated. People nowadays are not content
to occupy the houses that were so much
esteemed in ante-bellum days. They re-
quire too many servants. What is wanted
is house compactly built, with from six
to eight rooms, fitted with gas, water,
bath, and, where 500 is demanded, with
range. The ladies want the house to be in
good neighborhood; they want it to look
nice, and they want it TO be so fashioned as
to be easy to clean.
1t appears that men Of means can do no.
thing better for the city or themselves than
to erect such houses.
Richmond is growing with pace that is
so steady that some folks forget that she Is
growing at all. Here it is not two years OF
inertness and one year CT rapid progress /;
ii is a well-measured advance all the time.
People are coming here to enter CONNER
cial and manufacturing enterprises and to
work ut their trades. Their first inquiry
is fer q house that will suit their wants,

told that they would have to wait-waii
for some house to become vacant! None
Of them wish to wait, and some Of then
will not-they leave here and go elsewhere

The Trades Parade.

Tho reference by the businessmen to thu
CIV Council Of the Trades Parade prolec
will amount to scientific shelving OF Il
unless special meetings Of the two branches
are called.
There Is barely time between now and
Fair week (thc lst Of November) for pre-
marathon. To wait until the Common
Council meets on the first Monday In No.
yember will amount 10 the death OF tlle
enterprise.
The parade last year was very good; bu'
mis- rcpeated this year, without ample
variations, It will seem very poor. Its no.
veltv rather than It's elegance made 1t O
success. For this year we want something
unique.
The State Fair insisted that the people
should come TO their grounds year after
year to see the same cows, sheep. thresh-
ine-machines, and bantam roosters. The
people knew when they had enough OF IL,
and the consequence was that the TWO last
Fairs were-to say the lcast-financial TALL
ures. This time the managers OF the Far
will profit by the experiences OF the last
two years, and Richmond must not have
INV failure in her Trades Parade. She mus
either have a good one or none. TO have
n good one she must have five or six weeks
for preparation, and that time cannot DC
secured unless there are special Couneii
meetings TO consider the subject.
The Committee of Ten visited 1G5 firms.
OF these 1S5 "promised to turn out during
the Trades Parade" Public sentiment
was found practically unanimous, and the
businessmen therefore thought 1t proper
"that the matter be handed over to our
City Council to father the same and to ap-
propriate the required amounts" and to
take the management Of il.
The chief expenses will be the employ
ment OF about three bands Of music (n-
Guiding one large band from Washington
or New York;, the purchase OF fireworks
for the nights display, some poster-print-
ing, and the pay Of a clerk to do the cor
respondence. The sum total need not be
more than $1,000. II this figure does not
shock members of the City Council, let
them have meetings without delay and put
the scheme in motion.
Ii the city is not in the humor or condi-
ton to make an appropriation, the sooner
the matter is dropped the better.
