WORDS THAT BURN.

There is good deal OF what the play
bills call coLtemporaucuus human in.
terest about the letters which have Just
been made public through the New
York HsroH, by Stephen W. Dorsey,
Chairman OF the Republican National
Committee, and one oi the defendants
in "A criminal action now on trial mt
Washington, and commonly known us
the Star Route Gaze.
The most important missives in the
collection are those from General James
A. Garfield and tho Hon. Levi L.
Morton.
A few excerpts from these letters
throw considerable light ON an interest.
ing period in the political history OF
the United States.
Some passages constitute artistic
sketches, depicting in black and white
the characters OF tho authors.
A striking example is the suggestion
which was made by General Garfield
that the people Of his peculiar religious
faith should be Induced to vote the Re
publican ticket although they were
Democrats.
Just before tho election in Indiana.
which was deemed so important by rea-
son OF it's bearing on the Presidential
contest, Garfield wrote as follows:
From twenty-five thousand to thirty
thousand voters OF Indiana are mem
bers OF the denomination of Disciples,
and at least halt OF them are Demo
Gratis. a quiet bat very earnest move
ment wholly outside the State commit
tee has been organized, and IL being
vigorously and judlciously pushed, with
the strongest probability that at least
two thousand five hundred changes of
vote IN our favor will result"
What an outburst OF indignation
there would be il a Roman Catholic
candidate FOR oiLce were thus 20 couute-

clover seed machine we know of is the
Victor Double Huller Clover Machine,
gotten up to supercede all attachments.
1t is claimed that this machine will
save one-fourth to one-half more seed
from the same straw than the ordinary
attachments. If this be true, with
clover seed at IS 90 per bushel it
would pay to use a Victor Huller.
For prices and terms write to Newark
Machine Co., Newark, 0. See adver-
tisement in this paper. For informa
ton about attachments, apply to some
dealer in agricultural machinery. We
are glad to have such inquiries; ii
shows that our farmers are turning
their attention to saving clover seed,
which they should have done long ago.

TENNESSEE GRAIN TRADE.

Since last week the Southern mar
kets have been we'll supplied with
Tennessee grain, especially corn, which
at present is hard to sell at any reason
able price, in consequence of an over
supply in the markets. We desire to
say to such farmers as may have some
corn yet to sell we think it would be
better to hold back a little until the
demand is better, which cannot be so
long as we continue to keep the mar
kets oversupplied. Grain dealers
will be forced to lower their prices if
they are compelled to buy at present,
as they have no demand. Hold your
little balance of corn and your little
surplus of wheat until they are wanted.
You can not force sales with
out making a sacrifice. Wait, and
every bushel of your surplus will be
wanted.

Tail, first dam Flying Cloud, second
dam said to be thoroughbred. She
is low, lengthy and clean limb, with
plenty Of bone and muscle, with the
style form and finish so necessary in
a perfect saddle horse. Her gaits
are natural, with a quick step, indica-
ting great speed. But the striking
feature that adorns her snowy form
and catches the eye of the observer, is
her silvery. name and long flowing
white tail which she carries gracefully
and makes her a thing of beauty.
She is fast and pretty as picture, and
the Col. thinks she is a "clinker," and
with a little training and careful
handling will be able to go in the best
