Col Hugh Sterling is interesting him

representation for Wheeling and West
Virginia in the art exhibit at Wash

the paintings in this city would compare

The true northerner., 1882-12-22

Henry Sherwood, of Breedsville, who is
now postmaster of the House, is, il is said, a
candidate for the Office of Sergeant-at-Arms
of the Senate. The NoRTHERNER most sim
cerely hopes that he may be successful. The
South Haven Sentinel, in speaking of the
candidacy of Mr.. Sherwood, says: His be-
ing disabled soldier, with one limb left on
the field of battle, ought to commend him to
the next House, os postmaster" To be sure
it ought, but, just the same, it will not. The
party with which the Sentinel cast its lot,
and for whose success it labored, during the
last campaign, has no particular love for dis
abled Union soldiers. Ablebodied Confeder-
ates suit Democratic Congresses far better.
They bounced Mr.. Sherwood once before and
VIII do it again, if they get chance, not
withstanding the fact that the Seatjaoj may
think they ought not.

Cummings at his Double Store, where he and
his, not gentlemanly, but ladylike clerks, are

The more quietly aud peacefully we
get on, the bct,er--thc better for our
ncighbors. In nine eases out OF ten,
the wisest policy is, if a man cheats
you quit dealing with him; if he is
abusive quit his company; it he SLAM
dcrs you, take care to live so that no
body will believe him; no matter who
he is or how he misuses you, the wiscst
way is to let him alone; for there is
nothing better than this cool, calm,
quiet way of dealing with the wrongs
we meet with.

Human Labor,

In the gigantic works Of antiquity We
have the results OF an enormous concen-
lralion of human labor, With regard
to some Of them, as In the great obe-
llsks aud sphinxes OF Egypt the highly
conyenilonalized art Of the times has
preserved record oflhe mode In which
this labor was applied, With regard
to others, ~ IN the ease Of tho megall-
this wall of 'firynus or Of Mycenm, the
question has even been raised whether
they must not have been reared by
races Of greater strength aud statute
than any now existing on earth hut
the most wonderful Of all these evil
dences of mighty toll, rs shown In tho
size aud position of the enormous mass
es of stone reared In the air At Baalbec,
have been'the work Of known tribes OF
men, within historic times, The great
muster of mankind in Egypt, in Greece
aud in Syria, executed an amount OF
sheer human toll to which modern toll
can show no parallel. And yet the
mighticsl works of ancient times, such
as the raising OF the cntablaturcs OF the
temple Of the sun NJ liaalbcc, are hut
child's play when compared with the
construction and fixing IN place OF the
great tubes OF the Mcnai bridge. -

Rotation VI Crops and Manurss

IN summing up the advantages ol u
systematic rotation OF crops, the supply
Of manure that can DO obtained in the
residual produce Of the feed provided
for animals In the course Of cropping,
aud the ultimate profits that may DO
derived from tho manure when applied
10 the soil, must not escape attention.
Us they ARE matters OF great practical
Importance, From the wide variations
observed IN the action OF ihrmyard
manurcs on different soils, We cannot
decide upon any standard that will Ell
able rs to determine their absolute
value, in promoting the growth OF
crops in any given case. For example,
dressing Of manure on heavy soil
would not produce precisely the same
results that would be obtained by the
same manure on light soil, aud the
different effects observed in the two
eases would be still further complicated
by variations arising from pcculiarit'es
of seasons. The direct method OF cS-
perimcntation for determining the ab-
solutc value of manurcs, which would
nj first sight be suggested, cannot
therefore, from the complex conditions
involved, be applied with any prospect
ofsuccess.
1t will be readily seen from what has
already been presented, that variety
of crops grown in succession will tend
to cconomizc the elements of fertility in
the soil. so that the greatest aggregate
return for natural productivcneSs. or
for manurcs applied would be obtained ;
while the continuous growth of a single
crop would result in the waste OF some
of the valuable constituents Of the soil
which are not in form available for
it. but which could be made use of by
other crops. DR.. Miles, in American
Agriculturist for January.
