Cling to tho Right.

There is nothing more certain than
that right will triumph at last, and
triumph cternally and it is equally
certain that wrong is destined 10 utter

Whoever ties his boat TO a sinking

himself with wrong is sure, eventually,
10 encounter overthrow. There may
be temporary prosperity, there will be
final defeat; there may be present
success, but there will be eternal ruin.
Hence they consult their wisdom and
their safety, who cling to the right at

MASURING Grass LANDS. - Farm.
ers who have been hauling manure on
grass lands during the winter should
make a note Of the following good
advice from the Breodcrs' Gazette !.
The hay rake will be found = most
useful implement where meadows or
pastures are top dressed, especially
If some considerable portion of the
manure is a little long or lumpy.
Spread as evenly as possible from the
wagon, and then put on the rake and
GO over the ground thoroughly in at
least two directions. IL is surprising
to what a degree il will break up and
thoroughly distribute the manure.
We rer ember TO have once gone over
meadow in this way, whore some of
the manure was long, and the rake
pulled it and rolled it over among the
stubble until it fairly seemed to wear
it out, and there did not appear to be
a place as large as a mans hand any.
whore in the Geld which did not have
some portion OF manure upon it. The
rake covers the ground very quickly.
for when The rake is so employed the
horse should be kept at a rapid gait,
and the expense is merely nominal,
and We believe it will always paw to
use 1t after top dressing. OF course,
II 1t gathers up anything in the way
of long stuff, which can be collected
in winrows, that should be gathered
up with the wagon and hauled back
TO the compost heap, TO prevent its
iouiing the next crop OF hay. And
this last consideration should always
be kept in view In top dressing
meadows, for there Is conslderable
danger OF II, unless these manures
should be well decomposed or are
quite short and lne.

many years ago, schooner was wrecked
off McCodgain's Point. The boat carried
a cargo of live hogs All hands were lost
but the hogs swan ashore, and, rs they
found little else to feed upon, they made a
diet of snakes, In the course of time they
succeeded in devouring all the snakes on

an appearance and began devouring the
hogs, feat which was accomplished easily
and quickly. Nothing has since succeeded
in eXterminating the Kelly family.

SOUTH CARoLINA,s CHOICE.
For Arthur and Against Blaine, and No
Second choice.

For Arthur and Against Blaine, and No
Second Choice.
what Is this rnmor about two of your
delegation declaring for Blaine ?" REPUBLI
CAN reporter inquired Of prominent South
Carolina politician yesterday afternoon.
"There isn't word of truth in it. II is
out of the question that any South Carolina
republican, or any other southern republican
who is well informed as TO Mr.. Blaino's
history. will vote for him under any circum-
stances. Our party is chiefly composed of
'niggers and poor white folks down there
and though we haven't much appreciation of
brilliant craftsmanship, we have wonderful
intuition for distinguishing our friends from
our enemies"
you surely don't regard any prominent
republican your political enemy?"
Sometimes our worst foes are those of our
own household, and right or wrong that is
our general opinion in reference to Mr..
Blaine. Perhaps you remember that he voted
against the Force bill Perhaps you may also
remember that IL was by his obtaining per-
mission from the chairmon of the senate COM
mittee on elections in 1877 to call up the re-
ports that he, in violation of the understand
ing of the committee TO call up the Carbin-But-
Ter case first and the SpoiiordKellogg case
next, secured precedence for the Lamar case,
and that shortly afterward he exchanged with
the distinguished Mississippian the
first polite salutation that they
had had after very disagreeable investiga-
tion in the house of representatives. There
are great many other reasons why southern
republicans will not support Mr.. Blaine. His
opposition to Malone is simply on the line of
his whole course toward southern republi-
cans, and is an indication of his feeling to-
ward them, and thoroughly in keeping with
the theory of himself and his friends that
our strength ought to be reduced in the ma
tional convention. l don't want to be under
stood, however, that these are tho sole rea-
sons for opposing his nomination. While tho
cause of Malone is tho cause of every south
ern republican, we appreciate the fact that
the party as a party cannot afford to carry
Blaine. 1t would be defensive campaign
under heavy disadvantage from the word
go"
well, is your delegation instructed"
mot at all. But it was the sentiment of
our state convention and Of every delegate
and alternate that we cannot do better than
to support Mr.. Arthur, and looking at it
from our own standpoint, we prefer man
who has not any southern policy and who
will simply treat us as all republicans should
be treated. We are citizens of the United
States and we are republicans. and all that
we want of the President is II recognition of
those two facts. Even southern democrats
are sick of tho gush and stuff indic,ted by q
southern policy aud 'sops to the hayward
sisters"
WHO is your second choiceP'
1--WE don't consider that there will be any
second choice. We have not made any cal
culations that way"
