plainly asks for a nomination nest year, He
says he was defeated this year by Republican
corruption. but has demonstrated that Mass

Butler can create sensations. and that is by
telling the truth. 1t is doubtful however. if be

FARM MORTGAGES.

The Maine correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal recently sent circular letters to the Registers
OF Deeds III the several counties of the State to
ascertain if possible what proportion of the
farms III each county are mOrtgaged He says ::
The replies that have been received indicate "a
less number Of mortgages in all other counties
than in Aroostook county. kennebec stands
second, and the proportion runs down in the
other counties till it reaches Waldo. where only
about one fifth of the farms are suffering from
these membranes About one-thrd of the
farms in oxford county are mortgaged. and
one-fourth of those in Cumberland, Franklin
Lincoln and Somerset counties. Mortgages are
sought AS an investment of money at four five
and SIX per cent. usually, and it is seldom con-
sidered any reflection upon Il persons financial
ability that he executes IA mortgage uDon his
property when he obtains money for improve
ments. Many persons do not look upon Il
mortgage given when the farm is bought as a
real Indebtedness, and looking at the matter in
this light, the farmers of Aroostook county
have, perhaps, as little indebtedness as the
farmers of any other county. From all the
counties come the report that The past five wears
have been prosperous ones for the farmers and
that there has consequently been "A steady de-
crease in the number of mortgages. At present
more proportionally are held upon small home
steads and village lots than upon farms.

SEED CoRN.-A correspondent Of the
A,nericag Calbrafor advises farmers 70
.prout their seed corn before planting. He
states that the sprouts should be an inch or
more in length, and the Young roots will be
an inch long, which gives the seed the adj
vantage of an early start. Under this plan
there are but very few failures in germina-
ting. Beans can be covered with coating
of lard, which prevents them from rotting in
the ground.

to support the Consuls decently in one
case out of sixty; yet in the face of all
that, there is the greatest possible pres
sure to obtain the appointments to the
most insignificant Consulates on the
list. 1 know of one case where there
were not less than twenty applicants
for one Consulate, the fees of which do
not amount to $40 per annum. Many
of the candidates knew to be poor men,
and how they expected to maintain
themselves is more than can under
stand They certainly had no other re-
sources than what they could make out
of the offices. A true story is told of
an American Consul at an interior
Italian city who was reduced to such
extremity that he was obliged to enter
the employ of the British Consul in the
capacity of coachman. Instances are
numerous where Consuls are forced to
call on friends to relieve them from
distress and enable them to get back to
their own, their native land without
swimming. There are few places in the
Consular service worth having-that is,
worth having if a man wants TO exile
himself from his own country for from
three to ten years, and be forgotten as
though buried, for $4,000 or $4,000 a
year-but they are very few. 1t is nice

SUMMER NOON.

A summer noon Is this,
The trees are breathless, every one:
Underneath the shadow is,
And overhead the sun.
No mowers in the mead,
No children on the green at play;
Listless drops the thistle seed
Beside the travelled way.
Alone the butterfly
Floats dreamily in lower air,
And the circling hawk on high
Is all that's moving there.
The brook runs ever by,
But seems to pause the while il flows;
IT'S more like a line of sky,
So placidly it goes.
