Democratic Absurdity /.

The Democrats of Ohio have fairly
matched the illogical absurdity of their
rivals platform, SO far as it relates
to the temperance question, is nOnscnsical.
1t declares against sumptuary legislation,
and all interference with private rights,
and then tavors regulation 10y license
Does not the Democratic party know on
what principle license rests Is it ignOr-
ant of the effects of license law actually
enforced? Has it no knowledge of the
real meaning which attaches to ''Sunp-
tuary"
The Democrctic party has always com
planned of Prohibition as a sumptuarv
act, whereas it is in no sense sumptuary.
Sumptuary laws limit expenditure, or
say what a man shall pay for what he
buys. Prohibition simply forbids men
to sell. When by royal decree two
for tourpence, Democrat might have
complained of sumptuary interference.
If to-day he were forced to give twenty
five cents for each drink, similar COM
plant would be in order But Prohib-
ton does not refer to prices. 1t does not
say a man may buy beer but shall not
purchase brandy. 1t does not permit
him to buy beer at five cents glass and
deny him a better quality at ten. 1t
takes no account of the purchaser. 1t
has application only to the seller 1t
is no more a sumptuary act when applied
to alcoholic drinks than when applied to
any other posons. If to forbid the un-
restricted sale of ale or whisky could lie
considered sumptuary, then to deny the
equally free sale of acqua fortis, chloro-
form or opium is alike sumptuary, and
every druggist has as much right to
oppose sumptuary laws as has the would
be keeper of saloon. [American Re

the abolition of slavery in The District of
Columbia and in all the national forts,
arsenals and dockyards where, without
question or cavil, the exclusive jurisdc-
ton belonged to congress; they asked
that congress, under its constitution
authority to regulate commerce between
the states, would prohibit the interstate
slave trade; and they prayed that our
ships sailing on the high seas should not
be permitted by the government to carry
slaves as part of their cargo under the
free flag of the United States and outside
the local jurisdiction that held them in
bondage. They denied that a man should
aid IN executing any law whose enforce
ment did violence to his conscience and
trampled under foot the divine command.
Hence they would not assist in the sur
render and the return Of fugitive slaves,
holding it rather to be their duty to re-
sist such violation Of the national rights
of man by every peaceful method, and
justifying their resistance by the truths
embodied in the declaration of indepen-
dence, and still more impressively by the
precepts that were taught in the New
Testament

The Sea King.
From out his castle on the sand
He led his taWny-bearled band

From out his castle on the sand
He led his tawny-bearded band
In stormy bark from land to land.
The red dawn was his goody sign:
He set his face to sleet and brine,
And quafed the blast like ruddy wine.
And often felt the swirling gale
Beat, like some giant thresher's fail
Upon his battered coat of mail.
Or sacked. at times, some windy town.
And from the pastures, parched AID brown
He drove the scurrying cattle down;
And kissed the maids, and stole the bell
From OFF the church below the fell,
And droWned the priest within the well.
And he had seen, on frosty nights,
Strange, Whirling forms and eltn sights,
In twilight land, by Northern Lights.
OR. sailing on bv windlcss shoal,
Had heard, by night, the song of troll
Within some cavern-haunted knoll.
OFF Iceland, too, the sudden rush
OF waters falling. in a hush
He heard the ice-iields grind and crush.
His prov the sheeny south seas Glove:
Warm, spiced winds from lemon-grove
And heated thicket round him drove.
The storm-blast was his deity;
His lover was the titful sea;
The Wailing winds his melody
BY rocky scaur and beachy head
He followed where his fancy led,
And down the rainy waters fled;
And left the peopled towns behind,
And gave his days and nights to find
What lay beyond the western wind.

In the general horse markets Of this
country, nothing is so great a disparage-
ment to ready sale as the want of size
No matter how powerfully the horse may
he built, with a strong body, on short
limbs, no matter how much capacity he
may have for digestion and work. if he is
small, he brings only a meagre price. and
is led away with the cOntemptuous opin-
ION that he is only a pony. Like the
nubbin in the corn crib, he is estimated
to be OF very little value. The attain
ment of size is the labor of scientific
breeding and generous nourishment Tn
dOubtedly the law that Like produces
like, or the likeness Of some ancestor
refers as much to size as to form, color,
temperament and action, and the sue
cessful effort to change law is the grad
nal result of long continued crossing and
treatment. Both the sire and dam should
be as perfect specimens as can be found,
IN size as well as in general proportions.
Nothing deteriorates horse progeny SO
much as the selection of unSOund and
manitestly imperfect parents. Public
policy should demand the passage of
statutory prohibitions in every State of
oho ChloI dSdlhSo blccullS HUH ulSouHu
and weedy sres and dams. If such legal
disabilities had been applied when the
Government was formed, the average
horses of this country would have been
advanced many generations over their
present state Of perfection.
Our farmers, and breeders of horse
stock generally, should make it special
point to exclude from the harems dwarf
ed stations and diminutive mares. Then
they should give heed to the proper care
and feeding of the colts during the wears
Of their more rapid growth, and they
would not only benefit themselves pecu.
niarily, but would contribute to the per
manent value of the horse stock of this
country in the future ages. National

In Boston, recently, says a writer in
the New York Tribune, met Il son of
the founder Of the Adams Express Com
pany, who gave me some interesting
points. His father began the express
business with literally nothing, and was
bis own carrier and distributor and had
50 few customers that he could attend
to them personally, delivering parcels,
whether of money or merchandise at
their rooms. The further he proceeded
into the business the darker grew the
path, and his wife was unable at one
time to 90 to church or make visits be-
cause she had not a bonnet or gown that
would do her husband credit Yet Mr..
Adams was sure that he had a great
thing, though he also had to face a rival,
llarnden's Express Company, which was
somewhat earlier in date. In this emer-
gency, Mr.. Adams found man with
means, Mr.. DinsmOre, who is now at the
head of the organization, and who is said
to be worth anywhere from 50, 900, 600 or
$4,OO0,0O0 to S2O,0OO,0O0 He put his
shoulder to the wheel, brought Mr..
Adams out triumphantly, and the Harm
den company, for want of a similar meth
odcal sponsor, lapsed into poverty while
the Adams express magnates lend money
by millions to the railroad companies.

PERSONAL NOTES AND "REMINISCENCES.
Some weeks ago | was telling Senator
Eugene Hale's partner, Mr.. Emery, of
Maine, how Gen. Hancock was accident
ally appointed to the West Point Military
academy, Hancock's father being poor,
and some of the kind neighbors of their
own suggestion, thinking to relieve his
father and mother. Mr.. Emery said ~
can tell you a story answering exactly to
that. There was a young man in our
town Of Ellsworth, whom | wanted to
come into the office in the absence OF
regular clerk, and attend 10 calls, etc.
Mr.. Hale came home from Washington,
and saw this stranger sitting there, and
asked HIM if he belonged tN the office.
The young man said, Yes he was there
awhile to oblige Mr.. Emery"
Mr.. Hale opened his mail and found
that the West Point authorities had boti-
fled him that his nominee to the Acadc-
my had not passed the examination and
that he must Immediately send in another
name. Mr.. Hale walked into the next
office and asked his partner Who this
man was, who his father and mother
Were, etc. he then turned around and
walked back to the office and asked the
Young man if he would not like to 90 to
West Point and could probably pass the
examination, and the young man said he
would Immediately consult with his pa
rents. They gave their consent, and then

Improvement of Grain by Selection.

The principle of selection has long been
appreciated by stock breeders, and they
have largely profited by the application
of its teachings. AS applied to the growth
OF cereals it has not found a very wide
acceptance, not having had time to force
itself on the attention of the average far
mer. The founder of the practice of Sc
lecting grain for seed is Major Hallet, F.
l.. s., Brighton England. In 1861 he
planted ten grains of wheat, from a varie-
ty known there as Bellevue Talavera
wheat, which up to that time had been
soWn as spring wheat, and was decar-
ed to be quite incapable of Withstandng
the frost of winter. Nine of the ten
plants from these grains were killed by
the severe frost, but the other plant, al
though from the same ear, remained as
healthy and vigorous aS any of the winter
varieties Of wheat by their side. From
this surviving plant seed has been select
Ell and grown year after year as a winter
wheat Close observation shows that in
the cereals, as throughout nature, no two
plants or grains are exactly alike in pro-
ductive power, and hence that of any two
or greater number Of grains or plants
one is always superior to all the Others
although the superiority can only be as
certained by actual field tests. 1t may
consist in several particular characteris-
tics, as power to withstand frost; pro
likeness size and character of ear; size,
form, quality and weight of grain; length
and stiffness Of straw; powers of tiller-
ing rapidity OF growth and many others
