The ConkIing Nomination.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
The New York Times says: The
people have been much concerned of
late for the elevation of the bench,
lowered in recent years by being made
a resting place for worn out politicians
or honored friends of the President
who CHANGED to hold the power of
appointment when vacancies occurred.
In appointing Judge Gray the Presi-
dent raised the hope that he appreciated
the greatest need Of the Supreme
court and had a high sense of respon-
sibility that rested upon him for sup
plying it with the strength which it
lacked. Nothing has done so much
as that appointment to beget confidence
in his motives and purposes as the
head of the National administration !:
but from Judge Gray to Conkling is a
long step downward, and it will be
strange if this latest nomination does
not go far toward forfeiting the respect
which the President gained by his
first judicial selection.
The Tribune declares the nominal
ton of Conkling grossly unfit. 1t be-
gins its article with, "Guiteau has
made a Supreme judge as we'll as Pres
ident, and he is not hung yet"
The Herald says if it were consis-
tant with Conkling's character to be
warped by merely personal considera-
tons from that Discrimination to accept
judicial duties which he signifed eight
years ago, the proceedings of the SEN
ate Thursday might have some infiu-
ence in determining his choice. When
Grant nominated Hoar's brother to
the place of associate justice, MI.
Conkling opposed its confirmation and
it was rejected. This allusion to the
motives for the course of Mr.. Hoar is a
sufficient explanation of it, but we re-
gard Conkling's of professional
honor and loyalty to the bench far
superior to such considerations.
The Philadelphia Press says: If
Conkling accepts, it may prove the
happiest solution of several problems.
The Buffalo Express says: Conk-
ling's appointment is sure to command
the warm approval of all shades of
public opinion throughout the country.
The Washington REPUBLICAN says :
Conklins's spotless integrity, unsur-
passed natural gifts, great learning,
capacity for work, dignity of character
and National fame make his appoint
ment one which the country will unan-
imously pronounce eminently fit to be
made.

Roscoe ConkIin for the Supreme
Court Vacancy.

1t has pleased President Arthur to
nominate Roscoe Conklin for a seat on
the highest judicial bench in the coun-
try. That the Senate will confirm and
Conklin will accept, seems to be the
prevailing opinion. Well, this may
prove to be a wise stroke of general
ship on the part of the President. Mr..
Conklin has not shown himself to be
exactly the ideal man for this distin-
tinguished position; but, with all his
faults his integrity is unquestioned and
he certainly is a man of great ability,
legally as we'll as Intellectually. 1t is
a bitter pill for the party just now,
but good results may follow. We
give comments of the press elsewhere.

We see that some farmers think
ashes of little value as fertilizers. We
give the opinion of the late Jerre Hodg-
kins, of Westfield, an intelligent and
successful farmer, and a mar of great,
good sense, and general observation.
A friend enquired what lie thought of
leached ashes as q fertilizer. 81 will
give you my experience" said he.
. Many years ago, [ had a potash"
situated on the edge OF my mill-pond,
and the leached ashes were thrown
out neal the water, SO that they got
frequent washing5 from high water,
rain, &c, and remained there subject
to the elements for years. AT last |
commenced experimenting with them.
When the water was low, | carted a
quantity of them on TO q strip through
my moving. AS a result, the grass
became 2 dark and luxuriant green,
greatly ahead OF the rest, so much SO
that it was observable from a distance,
and the good effects were to be seen
for years"

State Politics.

1t is announced that Hon. John A.
Page of Montpelier, who has been
State Treasurer since 1866, will not
be a candidate for denomination to
that Office. He has filled it with cred
it to himself and advantage to the
state. The Montpelier Waterman
and St. Adams Messenger strongly
urge Hon. W. H. Dubois, of West
Randolph as his successor.
The Montpelier Waterman suggests
ex-Judge James Barrett, soon-to-be
of Rutland, for Governor.
The Troy Press, q Democratic sheet
of the rabid sort, comes out strongly
in favor of Hon. L. w. Park for
Governor. 1t says: "Mr. Park will
undoubtedly be the next governor of
Vermont, if he is willing to accede to
the wishes of his friends. If MI.
Park should not care to withdraw his
attention from business, and become
Governor, his friends would not OBJ
ject to his son-in-law, the Hon. j. G..
Mccullough"
AS acknowledgement, Mr.. Bar
slows chief duty was to preside over
the Senate, which he performed in a
very acceptable manner, becoming, in
fact, not only popular with that au-
gust body, but with all the members
of the Legislature, though he made no
effort to secur such public favor. He
is a quiet man-a farmer, owning and
operating a fine farm in Shelburn,
some five miles from Burlington, and
very much loved and respected by his
neighbors. He puts on 10 airs and
never approaches men in the patron
izing manner which SO betokens the
professional politician. So far as 1
have learned, there is no particular
opposition, but a strong feeling in his
favor, and this feeling comes from the
people who know and respect him,
and so the cry of former years ''Let
US have a farmer for governor" will
be worthily met. He will not lift his
own voice or hand to secure the office,
and, like Cincinnatus, the people will
find him at the plough. The other
candidates ,-half a or more
have been mentioned" don't amount
to anything.-Cor. Springfield Re-
Du6licdn.

MI. F. X. CONVERSE:
As L promised you, l would let
you have my experience in raising

say to you, it is a perfect success, al
though on a small scale. AS you are
aware, L hire of Mr.. L. Barnes and
had no expense in building a silo. I
raised two and one-half acres of the
White, Southern corn fodder, planted
in drills 3 feet apart cut corn, and
filled silo, from 21st to 25th Septem-
Der: had 40 tons ensilage or Is tons
to the acre. Am keeping Is COWS,
sell the milk of 16 of them at the door.
From Nov. 10th to Dec. 18th flour
weeks | sold from the l6 COWS, (fed
on one bushel dry cornstalks cut 3-4
inch, with two quarts bran, one quart
cob meal twice per day, with 3 or A
pounds hay at noon,) five hundred
and eighty-six and one half gallons of
milk at 10 cents per gallon-SS7.97.
same COW gave !; from Dec. 18th
to Jan. 18th IA weeks (fed on one
bushel ensilage one do. of dry corn
stalks, bran, meal and hay the same
as first 4 weeks,) G91 gallons, at Is
cents per gallon, s103.65 net gain
in 4 weeks S15.68, or 1892 per week
or 56 cents per day in favor of one
bushel of ensilage per day. 1t cost
me much more TO fill siIo thanit should
have done, being $3.50 per ton. |
am fully satisfied that | can do the
filling again for less than one half that
price. My ensilage in siIo cost me
$3.50 per ton not including use of
land. My only mistake is in not rails
ing three times the quantity / did
raise. Yours truly,

OF Senator Edmunds' anti-poly-
gainy bill, the Springfield Republican
says: SIT seems to US that congress
shows an ill appreciation of the pow
er, the fanaticism and the ignorant
defiance of a population of $4,000
banded together to maintain an arti-
Gle of their religious faith, as against
a government 1000 miles distant
which eve makes a show of power
till war is forced on it. Congress
ought to couple, with its law stripping
the polygamists of their civil, rights a
provision for a sufficient %copcentra-
ton of armed forces in Utah to over
awe opposition and forestall insur-
rection."

James r. Chalmers has written an
other letter on the reasons for his
opposition to the Democratic party
of Mississippi In it he says:
eff I go to Congress again, I
wish to go with an undisputed title
from district having a majority of
white voters. Agsin, it is said [ am
helping to put Republicans in power.
AS [ understand it, the Republicans
will help to put me in power. If
there is anything wrong in my re
ceiving such help, it does not become
the Lamar Democracy to complain
of it. / cannot prove it, but l bes
ieve the friends of Mr. Lamar made
a combination with Lynch when he
was contesting my seat, and when it
was feared that Barksdale would
carry the white counties for Senator.
In Adams County Lynch's brother
and others were nominated on
combination ticket pledged to sups
port Lamar. In Warren an effort
was made to nominate a similar
ticket, composed of the friends of
Lynch and Lamar, and the Vicks-
burg Commercial broke it up. In
every county where combinations
were made with colored men or Re
publicans, it was in the interest of
Lamar. A member elected on the
combination ticket from Adams
County nominated Mr.. Lamar for
the Senate, and it was seconded by a
colored Republican from Hinds.'

MacarOnf.

Once upon time wealthy Palermi-
tan noble owned cook gifted by nature
with an inventive genius. One day, in
a rapture of culinary composition, this
great artist devised the farinaceous tubes
called 'macaroni," which all love SO
well, and the succulent accessories of
rich sauce and grated parmesan, familiar
to silose who have partaken of 'maca-
roni al sugo' in Souther Italy. Having
filed mighty china bowl with this de-
licious compound, he set it before. his
lord--a gourmet OF the first water and
stood by to watch the effect of his ex-
pertinent The first mouthful elected
the elaculatioEs "Cari !" automatically
equivalent to excellent" in English,
from the illustrious epicure. After swal-
lowing a second modicum he exclaimed,
"Ma Carl '' or " Excellent indeed !"
Presently, as the flavor of the tooth
some mess grew upon him, his enthusi-
asm grew to even higher flights, and he
cried ont, in a voice tremulous with
joyful emotion, ''Ma caroni Pc Indeed,
most supremacy, most sublimely and
superlatively excellent !" In paying this
verbal tribute to the merits of his cooks
discovery he unwittingly bestoyed a
name upon that admirable preparation,
which has stuck to it ever since, says the
London Telegraph.
