fitted with an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached 10 the case by
screwing it thereon, and thus firms an air
light junction with the body Of the case,
when is proof against dust and moisture.

Grating the Grape vine-.A New Method


We desire to have new varieties Of grapes
come quickly into bearing, but vines from
nurseries are frequently tardy. Even after
careful nursing they will droop and die
while a few buds cut of on arrival and
properly grated may produce fruit in a
short time. Grating on cutoff under
ground gnarly stumps or vines, as usually
praetised, is very uncertain at best. Our
method is to take a good strong branch or
cane of vine, or even a whole young vine
when change Of fruit is desired,and whip
the graft in the usual way. We then cover
up the vine in the soil as near the roots as
possible, leaving aboye ground onlyia bud
or two Of the graft. 1t is well known how
quickly layer will make a bearing vine Jas
il has the advantage Of the parent roots as
well as the roots il produces. The layer
may be extended, If long enough, to grow
where the vine is to remain. Vineyards
may in this way DO quickly changed to
better -AQriculturist.

The Republican party has passed into
a minOrity-taking the State Govern
ments and Congress tOgether-because
of its persistence in facing backward
and attempting to live upon its record
instead of securing new titles to respect
and confidence by its policy and deeds in
the present. Its mOle-eyed leaders went
on standing by the old flag" long after
the starry banner flOated free over all
the land and needed no defenders. Only
three years ago this past summer the
two most conspicuous leaders of the Re-
publican party-Mr. Blaine and Mr..
COnkling-started in upon the Presiden-
tial campaign waving the ragged rem
nants of the bloody shirt and shouting
the worn out shibbOleths of dead anu
buried issues. The loss of Maine and the
threatened loss of Ohio and Indiana
compelled them to change their ground,
and, by resOrting to the tariff scare and
the free use of money, the party was
pulled through once more.
President Garfield, in his inaugural,
sounded the bugle not for an advance.
He eXhOrted his party to turn from the
graveyard of dead issues and take up a
new line of march. He protested in
earnest sand eloquent terms against fur
ther delay in treating in statesman-like
manner the exigenG questions which
had long pressed Valnly for cOnSldera-
tiOn and settlement. 1t was hopeful
keynote; but within less than a month
the new Administration was involved in
a quarrel over the patronage, the pain
full results of which need not be re-
hearsed. When Congress met it was con-
frOnted by new Administration; and,
though President ArthuT's recommended
tiOns were mostly sound there was no
force in them.
Keifer and RObesOn dominated the
House and MahOnism neutraliZed the
Senate. The river and harbOr job was
crowded through in the true boss spirit;
civil service reform was cOntemptuOusly
showed aside; the war taxes were left
undisturbed and Congress adjourned
swapping its fingers in the face of the
people. The people rose up and sat down
on the Republican party, and its fat rO-
tundity flattened under the weight of
their displeasure, When Congress reas-
sembled it brought forth some works
meet for repentance; before deciding for
1884, the people await the action of the
DemOcrats.-BOstOn Herald, Ind, Rep.
