Gossip About the President.
From the Baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
The latest piece of interesting gossip
comes from New Jersey, to the effect that
President Arthur contemplates matri-
mony, and that the fortunate young
woman is Miss Title, the eldest daughter
of Secretary Frelinghuysen. This will
make Mr.. Arthur the brother-in-law of
the new American Minister to Berlin,
who, we believe, has spoken for the sis
ter of the prospective mistress of the
White House. With q relative so high
in power Mr.. Kasson ought to become a
fixed star in the political armament.

IT is to be hoped that PennsyIva,

TIE KIND OF REPUBLICAN WE ARE
To begin we are what is known as
genuine black republican. Our
republicanism dates back to the year
1866, when we first saw daylight
on this continent and breathed un-
willingly the foul air Of secession.
The negro stands very light show
in politics be he on one side or the
other. The white mans interest is
a common interest. They have the
advantage of having two hundred
years the start of the much loved,
abused, over con6ding and faithful
negro. They own the land and want
the power to own the ocean. 1t will
be want long felt They use the
negro because he is gullible, docile,
easily deceived and cannot distinguish
the difference between a downright
lie and a falsehood. We are not one
of that class of republicans, and there
are good many ia the woods who
think as we do Washington Grit.
TRULY PROGRESSIVE.
Who can say that the negro is
not progressive? For example we
have two exchanges, the AfrO-
american, Of Cincinnati, Ohio, and
and the Post, of Alexandria, Va,
which are lending their support to
Cleveland and Hendricks. Herald

A REAL NECESSITY.

TRULY AGGRESSIVE

only in very faint and sickly way
about Blaine's aggressive cam
paign." They have found out it is
becoming a little more aggressive
than they thought-in fact a little
too aggressive Savannah Echo.

Weakening Influences.

The fight in the Seventh legisla-
tive district of Philadelphia has as
sumed such proportions that it bids
fair to end in much bitterness and
the formation of factions tending to
weaken the party and rob it of its
old time supremacy in that district.
The persistency with which some
men attempt to coerce others, with
out regard to rights and opinions,
must result in divisions and hatreds
which but retard and act as detri-
ment to the interests of the whole.
Instead of feeling to override and
disregard the honest wishes OF the
people, there should be disposition
to give them some countenance,
avoiding all possible dissensions, and
uniting with strong effort to secure
success. While these things are in
progress the enemy bask in most
pleasant smiles with fondest hopes.
Let the fighting strength be reserved
with which to charge upon the
enemy. Let peace dwell among US.

Such supports to various kinds of mill

hawthorn and blackberry, and it is
therefore recommended that these
shrubs be carefully removed from the
hedges bordering upon fields of grain
There is here an exceedingly ready rem
edy. and one that should by no means
be neglected. But there are other pests
not so easily disposed of. The plants
upon which they grow and develop are
often the cultivated ones of farm crops,
and the question of this destruction Of

sleeping the affected or suspected seed
in sulphuric acid diluted to the proper
of 1.5 too 100. and submitting them to
the action for twelve hours. Copper
sulphate (blue vitroD is quite as active,
but is often destructive to the germ.
Dreschsler recommends solution of
one part crude carbolic acid in 100 parts
of water. both to destroy fungus germs
and to preserve the seeds and young
plants from insect injuries. The latter
is said to prove effective and to have no
deterioating influence upon the seed or
upon the newly-developed root
All these remedies are simple and
easily applied, and they should therefore
receive serious attention by the pro-
gressive farmers, especially during the
coming spring. when much poor seed
from last years crop must necessarily
be used. After sleeping as directed,
the growth of the plant is largely in
creased, and the treatment is both mex
