CANDID Republicans admit, says the
New York Sun, that their party has
lived on Democratic plumbers and diI-
sensions ever since the beginning of
Grants second term in March, 1883.
Their hopes of success in the next
presidential election are based on the
expectation that in the meanwhile the
Democracy will throw their chances
away, as they have so often done
heretofore.

An Artists Pay.
New York Paper.l

By the way. many of the frescoes in
the Vanderbilt houses which have
been reported to be the work of for
eign artists were really painted by the
eldest daughter of the late Stephen
Brush. When he was alive Mr.. Brush
was supposed to be comparatively
rich man, and his children were
brought up in what is called in novels
the lap of luxury. His liabilities
proved, after his death, to nearly
equal his assets, and his daughters, as
well as his sons, were forced to ex-
change the opera and balls for work
Miss Jenny had taste for art, which
is said to have earned her salary of
$500 a year from Herter, and she is
now her own employer, and is sup
posed to be making more. Hardly a
day but a good order comes to her
studio UP town.

Notice was made few days ago of
the release from the Auburn, n. Y.
penitentiary of two men, Howard and
Sherwood, who had been sentenced
for life for a crime which it has since
transpired they did not commit.
Howard" says the Auburn News,
Fingered in the prision until the last
moment fixed for his departure. The
place which had Leen his home for
eighteen years seemed to have grown
into his affections, and could he have
had his choice it is doubtful if he

THE movement for Mr.. Tilden is
based on the belief of many Demo
cratic politicians that he is the only
Democrat who can carry New York.
And it is the belief of many Republi-
can politicians that Mr.. Arthur is the
only Republican who can beat Tilden
in New York, which is the main
strength of the Arthur movement.
The theory upon which all this specu-
lation is founded is that Kelly would
prefer Arthur to Tilden. Thus when
you come to sift the matter to the
bottom it is not the people who will
elect the next president but Mr.. John
Kelly of New Y ork.

The Chicago Tribune declares any
comparison between emancipation and
prohibition palpably absurd; and it is
not through absurdities, nor through
theories, nor by politics, nor in agita-
ton of coercive laws which cannot
be enforced that temperance reform is
to be worked out. The liquor ques-
ton is eminently practical, and the
practical way of treating it is to limit
the number of saloons an repress the
excuses incident to the traffic by
high license and proper regulation,
and for the rest moral suasion alone
can finish the work.

EnsIaYement of the Press.

THE AUSTIN STATESMAN having
shown occasional harmless flashes of
Independence in talking, receives a
Lecture from the San Antonio Times.
If newspapers are never to criticize
their party, but to whitewash them,
the freedom of the press is humhug,
and party corruptions become incura-
BILE. The enslayement of the press to
the caucus has deeply injured the
country and is still injuring it.

THE amount of registered bonds of
of the United States held abroad is so
small-only S17,19S,9OO, October L
that the definite information given
about them by the treasurer may not
seem very important. Yet it is a sig.
nifcant fact that, during the past year
the number of foreign holders of reg
istered bonds has decreased from 1131
to 495, and the amount held by then
has decreased from $4,000. QO9~ TO the

The cars on the Brooklyn bridge
have been running rather irregularly
on account of the frequent giving
away of the grips that hold them to
the cable. The trustees are likewise
losing their grip on the financial de.
partment of the bridge, as thelwant of
sufficient patronage is causing the re-
ceipts to be very far below what was
reasonably expected.

A writer who has studied the plan

claims that people never agree in mar

other nations, even to this day, the
astrologer is consulted to determine
where there is a complete sympathy
between the positions of the sun,
moon. Venus and Mars in the respec-
tive nativities, and, if their relative
positions are not found to agree, then
the projected match is broken off.
Women who have the sun or the

Science in Farming.

We have much poor land in the
United States, and an immense area
of good land. The poor land will be
used to grow timber, or be improved
by converting more or less of it, grad
ually, into pasture, and stocking it
with sheep and cattle. The main
point is to feed the sheep or cattle
with some rich heterogeneous food, such
as cotton-seed cake, malt.sprouts,
bran, shorts, mill-feed, refuse beans,
or bean-meal made from beans injured
by the weevil or bug. In short, the
buy such food as will fur
nish the most nutriment and
make the richest manure at
the least cost - taking both
of these objects into consid-
Grafton. He will also buy more or
less artificial manures, to be used for
theiproduction of fodder crops, such
as corn, millet, Hungarian grass, etc.
And, as soon as q portion of the land
can be made rich enough, he will
grow more or less mangel wurzels,
sugar beets, turnips and other root
crops. SuperphoSphate will be found
admirably adapted for this purpose,
and two, three or four hundred pounds
of cheap potash salts per acre, can fire.
quently be used on fodder crops, in
connection with two or three hundred
pounds of superphosphate, with con-
siderable profit. The whole subject is
well worthy of careful study. Never
N the whole history of the world has
here been a grander opportunity for
the application of science to the i'm
pcovement of agriculture than now.
F. On the richer. lands, the aiIl Of the
farmer will be to convert the plant
food lying dormant in the soil into
profitable crops. The main point is
good tillage. In many cases weeds
now run away with half our crops and
all our profits. The weeds which
spring up after the grain crops are mot
an unmixed evil. They retain the
nitrogen and other plant food, and
when turned make manure for the
succeeding crops. But weeds among
the growing crops are evil. Thorough
blowing is the remedy, with drainage
where needed.-Joseph Harris, in
