Cnre for PonI1ry Manure.

American Poultry Yard
Hundreds Of loads Of very vGlusble
manure are annually wasted By not
attending to save the droppings from the
fowls. The exorsment from fOwls is a.
valuable as the famed guano, and should
be carefully kept each year, rnder cover,
until it Is wanted for uae. To make it in
the best possible condition to bs applied,
as we'll as handled, always have the floor
OF the poultry-house sprinkled with dry
earth. This serves 10 keep the house
from unpleasant odors, absorbs the soft
matter and thus makes the cleansing of
the poultry-house a much more pleasant
task than it would otherwise be. Keep
the manure in dry piace-in
barrels In the shed will do-until wanted
for use, after it has been taken ont Of the
hen-house, and, when it is wanted for
use, mix 1t with about Its own weight Of
dry, fine soil, aud apply as top dressing
for corn, peas, cabbage, onions, &c, or
SOW thinly in rows for other vegetables.
Take care OF the hen.msnure, for in II
you have one OF the moat valuable plant
fertilizers known, if Il BE- judiciously
applied.

THE GAY AND GODLR BEEOHER.
Can There be any Sarcasm in This
Sermon

ESoHAuUhE
Baltimore Sun.
lit be really true that the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher has been so inexpressibly
shocked and grleved by the charges
against Gov. Cleveland that he feels he
can no longer give his support to the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
the governor Of New York must admit
that this ia "the most rnkindest cut Of
ALL" Not that such q course would not
be entirely in keeping with the austere
virtue and angelic innocence OF the pastor
Of Plymouth Church.
But in this case Mr.. Beeoher does not
seem to have tempered his characteristic
adherence OF evil with that kindly
charity towards the erring which In
general 30 strongly fRvoTs his theology
and practice. He should remember that
good men may sometimes he surrounded
by an inBurmountable wall Of terrible
facts, which II is not in their power to
explain with entire satisfaction to the
world, and that yet, in spite OF all
the evidence Of the ungodly, they
may be entirely euiltless OF the things
laid at their doors. A fellow-teelins
should make Mr.. Bsecher wondrous kind,

aud arrows Of persecution. The evidence
against him seemed overwhelming to the
casual mind, but Of course Mr.. Bsscher
knows that he was innocent, and he
swore that he was with all the vigor Of q
robust conscience.
When we remember how all the cir.
oumscAloes seemed against this good mar
in that case, and yet how earnestly he
believed in or protested his own Ruiltless
ness, It seems almost cruel that he should
be 30 ready to condemn Mr.. Cleveland OF
the mere exaggerated statements o
interested politicians in the face o
the exact facts Of the cas-,
ELECTED by investigation invited BY
Mr.. Cleveland and published to tn,

The report having been published in

q private letter that he oould not con-
sclentiously support Cleveland for the
Presidency owing 10 the disparaging re-
ports circulated about him, New York
1Imes reporter called on him on Wednes-
day afternoon at his farm, about two
miles east OF Peekskill, to ascertain
whether the report concerning him were
true.
Mr.. Beeoher has been quite i'll recently
but when the reporter arrived he was
rambling about among the trees and
shrubbery which surround his home. he
greeted the representative Of the 1smel
cordially, and in reply to q question said
that he was now convaleBoent and feeling
quite we'll again. When asked about the
letter he had written, he said that that
was private letter TO Mr.. George Peck
| Of Topeka, Kansas, not written for pub
| LEGATION, and that IL was q breach Of faith
for him TO have divulged any OF its con
tents, especially for publication. II wa
written about week ago, when he did
feel as though he could not, with cleal
conscience, support Governor Cleveland
in the face Of the damaging reports tina
had been published touching his mora
and private character.
Since that time, from private as vel
as public investigation, he had received
intelligence that had cleared away hi
conscientious soruplss, and he had mad
up his mind that he will support Cover
nor Cleveland for the Presidency, unles
something more damaging than has ye
been published 10 produced. He is salts
fed that the governor committed an erro
about 10 years ago, but that at the tim
he acted q generous and very honorabl
part, and has for that won his admire
ton. Mr.. Beeoher then said he though
the governors prospects Of election wer
growing brighter every day, and that b
should in a short time make public hi
position on this question, but that
could be said now that he was for Clev'

to subscribe to the PAPER, intimat-
ing that such were the instructions
from headquarters. A few men posi-.
lively refused to take the Tribune and
expect to bs discharged. The others are
mostly men with families who feared
being laid off, and subscribed. The sub.
scriptions were deducted from the meu'a
wages. James G. Lindsey, superinten.

denying that the men are forced to take
the Tribune. Some Of the men say that

seven words Of English, but has spry
young secretary who knows the whole
Rnslish Language, including the ouss

stepping out Of his front door, saw

petticost and howled more vociferously
than ever, while he beat his breast and
tore at his quene. An African

peeped through the door after hearing
the hullRbAloo, and seeing the gas bill
and knowing the methods Of the Wash

Il nothing remarkable that people shoul'

"Tisn't nufin' but the gas bill, an dat

man, seeing the reAsonableness Of thii
departed. After five hours of bawlinl
