BY WAY of correcting some typographical
errors in yesterdays issue it may be said that
the call for the last republican national con-
vention was based on an order Of the national
committee, and not of the national conven-
tion; that there is no manifestation of any
division on the question of district representa-
tion in the convention, and that it is inn
portant that in adopting the new method it
should be so guarded that it cannot be con-
verted into weapon for dividing the party.

the poor little tariff for revenue only? Has
that. too, been slowed away in the democratic

a southern member INDUCED in the following
generalities: "When a southern man, who has
at any time during his life occupied any sort
of social position goes to pieces he can fall
deeper into the mud and roll around in it with
more apparent enjoyment than any other per-
son in all the rest of the world. When he
loses his grip, self-repect goes with it, and he
actually revels in his degradation and adver-
tises his abasement like an outcast woman of

n@- The great want of our age is
practical Christianity, because men
have false notions of religious life.
and fancy that it is a mental abstrac-
ton, a holy trance. a divine ecstacy;
tina! it requires the intellect Of a phi
losopher to comprehend it and the
retirement Of recluse to practice it..
The idea is prevalent that time devo-
ted to religion is lost to the secular
purpose of life. It is forgotten that
the moral qualities of an action reside
IN the spirit of the actor and not in
the action itself, and that holy action
becomes profane when the impelling
spirit Of man is unholy. All law
full pursuits are as holy as the purest
devotion when notsegregated from re-
ligion. 1t is also a false notion that
religion is the performance Of a given
duty to the exclusion Of all other du-
ties. But piety is like the act Of
breathing or the silent growth Of ma
ture which are simultaneous with all
the actions Of life. A

WHAT IT CosTs TO RAISE TOBACCO.
"A New York State Tobacco Club.
by long and careful comparison of
the statements OF all the best and
largest producers in Chemung Valley,
have estimated that the total cost Of
raising an acre Of tobacco in that dis
trict is $l33.75. Figuring on the ba-
sis Of an average yield Of l,500 pounds
per acre, the tobacco costs eight and
nine-tenths cents a pound. The fact
is thus shown that 10 that part Of the
State of New York tobacco cannot be
grown for less than nine cents pound
and sold at a profit. This estimate
Is for the cost Of growing the large
seed leaf varieties, and not of the
hybrid tobacco or Of the domesticated
Havana seed.

SEEDING TO CLovER.-I have been
farming for 42 years, and viii tell
my experience in securing a good
field of clover every time. If | want
to seed down a field Of wheat, I wait
until the ground is settled in the
spring and the hard frosts have pass
ed, then l sow six quarts of clover
seed and four quarts Of timothy well
mixed. / follow by narrowing it in
and then roll the ground. Then /
sow 100 pounds of plaster to the acre.
If / seed with oats sow the same
amount of seed, but after the seed
oats are dragged in. omit the drag
ging after the clover seed is sown, but
Immediately put on the roller, which
is beneficial to both oats and clover.
/ then sow heavily of plaster-on
light soil $50 pounds per acre is not
too much. The plaster helps the oats
on dry land FIVE times its cost, and is
what saves clover in dry weather.
| SOW my seed mixed SO that If the
clover does kill out. the timothy will
take its place To get a good catch
on sandy land that is badly run. I
have observed the above rules and
always get splendid stand Of clover.

CHANGING THE CALRNpAR..-The
18th of October was noteworthy
day, being the 300th anniversary of
the introduction of the Gregorian cali
endar. 1t was the work of Pope
Gregory XII. who in the year 1882,
being struck by the fact that the YER
nal equinox, which at the time of the
Council of Nice, A. ID. 325, had oc-
Cured on March 81, then happened
on the 10th, caused ten days to be
thrown ont of the current year-the
day after Thursday, Oct. 4. being de-
clared Oct. ID. This alteration of
the style was Immediately adopted in
all the Roman Catholic countries of
Europe; and even in England an at
tempt, of which little notice has been
taken, was made to introduce it two
years later. On the 10Th of March,
l584-5, a bill was read for the first
time in the House Of Lords entitled
IAN act giving her majesty authority
to alter and new make calendar ac-
cording to the calendar used ia other
countries It was read a second
time on the 18th of the same month,
and then the project was shelved for
nearly two centuries. 1t was not till
the year 1852 in the reign of George
III, that the Gregorian calendar was
adopted in England, and by that time
it had become necessary to drop elev-
en- days. The 3rd of September was
declared the l4th, so that mouth only
contained nineteen days.

A REASONING ToAD.-An exchange
relates an interesting instance of q

were fed with moistened meal in san-

little it attracted large numbers of
flies. An observaut toad had evil
IDENTIFY noticed this, and every day,
along towards evening, he would
make his appearance in the yard, hop
to a saucer, climb IN and rolf over and
over until he was covered with meal,
having done which he awaited devol-
opments. The flies, enticed by the
smell, soon swarmed around the
scheming batrachian, and whenever
one passed within two inches or 80 of
his nose his tongue darted out and
the fly disappeared this plan work.
