tween Cleveland and Blaine.

A New York dispatch reports Ben
Butler as having decided to push his
canvass as the greenback labor candi-
date, and that he will do this simply
to iniure the democratic ticket and TO
show his contempt of the Massachu-
setts independents. Ben is reported d
to have the greatest antipathy for tie
Boston, Cambridge aud Harvard in
dependents. The democratic national
convention has earned the lasting
gratitude Of the democratic party by
the cool and determined manner in
which it sat down upon Ben Butler
and John Kelly. If all such political
bosses will now support Blaine they
will be in their natural element and
the democratic party will certainly
gain the respect of all decent men if
it don't win at the election.

The crop of young chickens is not

cold winter prevented the hens from
laying as early and freely as usual.
Consequently fewer hens became broo-

to be new, it is an old method discarded
1t consists in the use of double-moId
board plow, which opens the furrow.
and dropper, which is operated by a
wheel and gears In front, SO that the
seed is dropped in the furrow behind
the pillow. A scraper comes after and
covers the seed. The corn can only be
cultivated one way, but this is quite a
common practice now everywhere, and
is economical, as it increases the yield
25 per cent over that Of the old-fash.
ioned hill system. This quick planting
has the advantage Of getting the corn
ahead Of the weeds. and thereby saving
much after labor in cultivation.

Smuggling In the st. Gothard Tunnel.

Smuggling in the st. Gothard Tunnel.
1t is well, writes correspondent, that
travellers to and from Italy by the st.
Gothard railway should be informed of
the troubles and difficulties which may
beset them at the international station of
Chiasso, on Italian ground. According to
letter from TessiB. printed few days
sg5 by The Neue Zurcher Zeit,ulg, the
post-office employees at ChIasso have been
armed with revolvers TO Gefend themse yes
and the property intrusted to their charge
from the attack OF thieves, and the post
Office has been placed in telegrsphic COM
municatIon with the police barracks.
Smuggling, which has always been rite
in the neigaboihood OF the Italian lakes,
Il, moreover, becoming more active than
ever, and the revenue officers are at
their wits ends how to keep it under
control. Besides the lakes and the noun
tains, they have now to watch the rail-
way, which is calling INTO existence a
new class OF smugglers. while another
sort OF contrsband trade, which, owing
TO the protective character OF the Italian
tariff, and, above all, to the high price
Of tobacco on enc side Of the border,
and its cheapness on the other, is being
fast developed.
Some of the stratsgems adopted by the
railway smugglers are both curious and
original. Losves of bread are Quilted and
filed with tobacco, game Is treated in
ike fashion; the fragrant weed, coffee,
jewelry, and sometimes lace, are hidden
In followed cabbages, pears, apples and
potatoes, IN wheel barrow handles and
bedstead-less. Sheep are shorn, their
bodies enveloped with fine lace, and the
fleece SO artistically replaced as almost to
defy detection. Passengers of both sexes
are also much given to smuggling-the
greatest adopts, both by reason of their
keener wit and their more voluninous gar
ments, being women. The custom-house
officers do their best, but they sorrowfulIy
admit that the women are really too many
ior them and they are often taken In.
Meanwhile the ordinary smuggling by land
and water goes on as merrily as ever.
