candidate. The New York Democrats are
divided bstween Flower and Cleveland,
with the majority favoring Flower.
Representative Stevens says that with

be for Flower, and that he can carry the

land can no; carry New York. He Gays
some serious differences with regerd to
legislation in the recent general assembly
have arisen between Cleveland and
certain elements OF the party which would
operate against the governor At the polls.
Mr.. Stevens says II is absurd for Cleve-
lands frieDds to point to his majority
when elected governor; that II WAS not
Clsvelsnd's popularity but Republican
division that brought that about, snd
that with party lines closely drawn, as
they will be next November, Cleveland
could not carry Nsw York. He has no
doubt of Flowers ability TO osrry the
state. He says August Belmont thinks
Flower eould carry New York, but Demo.
orats from other states, with few exoep-
tions, express the belief that it would be
uuwise to nominate any other New
Yorker than TildeD. Tilden out OF the
race, they turn to Bsysrd. Bayard and

TIllave Manure.

Prairie Farmer.
This saying is true to certain extent,
but we must not be mislsd by it We all
know that II the soil Ia well prepared by
deep plowing aud thorough narrowing,
and the seed we'll aud carefully planted,
followed by thorough cultivation, We
very often obtain a good crop where we
are certain that had We been smiss in
any Of these essentials We would certainly
have had an Improbable one. Thus
tillEge ia manure; that is, 1t helps MS
raise crop where these directions are
fully carried ont. To say our crops
would be as good in the sa . soil and
with the same cultivation as though
good application Of mRnure we're given,
am sure from my own experiences, would
be going too far and claiming too much.
/ am convinced every year more firmly
Of the fact that il will pay to spend more
slime and labor in the preparation OF our
crops, for in 80 doing VIZ help them along
somewhat the same ~ would an appiicR
tion Of manure. Bat ! am also equally
we'll assured that in order to obtain the
very bsst of results, not only must there
bs thorough tillsge of the soil before and
after planting but also the soil must be
kept as rich ss possible. | have never
as a farmer, been able by either Of these
two methods 20 get my land too Fioh even
in the garden where take speciS pains

ashes, poultry manure, lime, rotten chips
or wood, a. we'll az a liberal supply Of
barnysrd mannre. ! cannot r4csll one
single instance of crop being in the
least damaged by the sOil being too rich.
While know that very muoh Ia aimed
by thorough tillsRe, yet cannot give MP
to acknowledge but that the most asssn
tisl requirement Of large crop ia rich
soil. Have this TO commence with, and
then take proper care to prepare, plant
and cultivate, and we are reasonably sure
of profitable crop.
There is no question that tillRge With
ont cropping is very beneficial to thin
land but fey farmers arc willing to do
this. In fact, it is generally more
profitable As we'll a. economical 20 plant
or SOW some kind Of 3 crop even Il it ts
plowed under as green manure, than to
fsilow and till without a crop Of any
kind.
In my experience have concluded that
the making and sowing and then prop.
erly applying Of all the manure possible,
is the frat essential IN successful farming.
The longer / farm the better satisfied /
am that, As q rule, We all farm too much
land thet we could materially increase
our profits If a smaller acreage wert
planted and cultivated more time giver

more thorough preparation and oultiva
tion Of what We plant. Profitable farming
is in raising what we do raise at thl
smsllest cost per bushel or pound, and II
obtain this we must study the most sp
proved and latest plans.

Hints TO Bathers.

Several correspondents have written to
the Philadelphia Record for information
as to the proper time to take a bath and
how long 1t is safe to remain in the
water. The following rules have been
prepared by Mr.. J. A. Payne, proprietor
Of the Natatorium, on Broad street, and
may be relied upon rs applicable both to
salt and frech water
l. Do not take bath Immediately
after meal; from two to three hours are
necessary for digestion. II from mental
or physical labor you feel exhausted, rest
before going into the wster.
Q "Cooling off" while undressed is
contrary TO all good sense. Cool of before
undressing. Never leave the skin un-
protected. II the action of the heart and
the respiration have become normal, after
exercise, warm or even moist skin
need not prevent you from plunging into
the bath ; but on the contrary, il enables
you to enjoy your bath all the more.
3 Do net stand still in the water to
talk nor leave ii to rest. Keep moving
after You have entered the water, and II
yOu feel tired from swimming go and
dress yourself Immediately. Ladies', par
ticularly ,should remove their wet clothes
promptly. ...-="
4. Time---More bathers are, perhaps,
injured by remaining in the water too
loug than by any other cause. BY over
taxing she physical energies reaction ia
rendered slow and imperfect. Half an
hour ia the maximum time the most
vigorous should remain in the water,
while for many 10 minutes Is long
enough.
Be careful to wipe and rub the skin
entirely dry b.fore dressing the re-
action will he more speedy and the bath
more invigOratiug.
G, After having dressed yourself dt
not lounge around to look at others in the
water. A little exercise before bathing
and good deal after bathing, ia very
essential.
Z. The Cramp. persons who
| plunge Into the water when they ar,
heated by exercise, or who remain in tn,
water too long, or who exhaust them
selves by violent exertion-that ia to say
who violate the above simple rules-sr,
the most subject to the orsmp. If tn
swimmer be seized with the ersmp in tn
lower xtremities he should not suffe
hsmssif 10 feel alarmed, but should strik
out with the limb aft soted with all hi
might, or tnrn on his back and extend tn
limb forcibly in the air. Should that no
have the desired effect he must reach tn
shore with his hands or keep himsel
aaost until assistance is rendered.
s. Ladies' Bathing Dresses. You
dresses should bs perfectly dry ever,
day; il rainy or damp weather has pr,
vented your having them 30 do not ue

There was moderate attendance at
Hanover Church Last week to hear Prof.

In Utah and the political problem to be
solved concerning the peculiar institution
located In that great western country.
Prof. Coyner has lived in Salt Lake City
for nine years and started the first
Presbyterian school in that city. He has

religion responsible for the growing evil /;

1t must be treated not from q religious
standpoint, but from political one. II
was not religion with the leaders, but
desp rooted political scheme, deter

than to be let alone-no interference with
their religion" any more than with any
| other. They are rapidly acquiring the
balance OF power in the territories and
with the number of voters under their
control and distributed as they may de-
sire, their power is immense. With the
| delegates already In the national
oounoils and an unlimited amount
of money in the lobby, they are fast
growing to hold balance OF power that
the politicians of neither great party dare
offend. This question is the great polit
ical problem of the time. The section o.

ceeds by 100000 square miles the com

WAszrHeroN, June b.--Whils the
Republicans are engaged in the selection
Of Presidential candidate In Chiosgo
the Democratic congressman and other
politicians In Washington are beginning to
take more interest In the probable action
Of the July convention. 1t Ia almost
universally believed among the Democrats
that the Sage Of Greystone has only TO
say the word to receive the nomination,
hut they are In state Of anything but
charming uncertainty as TO whether or not
he will say that word. Statements that
Tilden would ard would not accept the
nomination have been given ont with
such equality of positivensss and Of per-
sistency that the mind Of the aversge
Democrat is In = hopeless middle. To-
night, however, 1t Is believed by most Of
tho congressman that Tilden will be the
| candidate. The oause OF this belief is
the statement which Mr.. Randall hss
made more than once to day, that he has
positive knowledge that II the nomina-
tion goes to Grsmercy Park It will be
accepted. As Mr.. Randall is credited
with knowing something about the great
Victim Of fraud, his assertion is generally
taken to be true.
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 5.-In regard to
Mr.. Tilden's letter declining to accept the
Presidential nomination, to be presented
to the New York state convention, Henry
Watterson, in an interview in the Iimes
to-day says: "Mr. Tilden's resolution not
| to allow the use of his name, or to accept
nomination, has been inexorsble since
| 1880. he las communicated this reso-
luton to his friends with the greatest
candor and decision. He has at no time
| equivooated or hesitsted. The statement
made by Mr.. Dana to Mr.. Dorsheimer is
true, and Mr.. Tilden's friends have
proceeded upon the knowledge OF 1t with
his entire consent. Many OF those using
Mr.. Tilden's name In connection with the
next nomination know these things as
we'll | do, and are using Mr.. Tilden for
dishonest purposes Of their own. He
would not accept the office, far less the
nomination, and this will be Auihorita-
