Halted |!

Our latest Eastern dispatches tell us
that the late struggling and struggling
procession Of Independents led by Carl
Schurz and George William Curtis has
come to a halt. The following, what
little there was, is dropping away. The
"moral ground" has been shaken from
under them by an earthquake with its
center of motion at Cleveland's home,
and Colonel Goldman, of Massachusetts,.
the moral chieftain in the business,
gives out that the thing TO do next is to
wait till some new and more solid
ground can be discovered. The true
reason for the halt is not this. II is
that the people have made the discov-
cry that the Independent leaders have
been humbugged by the Southern gang
who controlled the Chicago convention
and hammered in its Janus-faced tariff
plank TO cheat the laboring men of the
country. The effort at scraping and
whitewashing this dark deformity
to make it appear white and sound
has failed, and to cut it out would
be death TO the whole scheme. AS
Nasby well puts it: "Ef 700 cut 'em
out 700 kill the giant. Its born in the
flesh en- can't be erradicated. Its uyi
no yoos. You must take him ez he IL.

Cleveland is too thin. The people see
thru him. Behind him is the same old
carkiss. Wat Dimocrisy wuz twenty
four years ago it is now.' A glimpse
of the truth OF this has suddenly flashed
across the minds OF the Independent
rank and iile at the East, and Schurz.
Curtis, Goldman q Co. are let without
a following. The hole they are crawl
ing out through is the last resort of n
foolish and deceitful movement and it
insures the State of New York for.

"For many years I had suffered from
complaint which the physicians called Gravel.
1 had employed some of the most noted doc
tors without obtaining any permanent relief,
and for long time my case was regarded as
hopeless All who knew the circumstances
said I must die. Finally, my wife induced
me to try q bottle of DR.. Kennedy's 'Favorito
Remedy which she had somewhere heard of
Or seen advertised. Without tho slightest
faith in it, but solely to crafty her, I bought
q bottle Of druggist in our village. I used
that and two or three bottles more, and-to
make a long story short-I am now as healthy
a man as there is in the country.
"Since then l have recommended 'Favorite
Remedy to others whom / knew to have suf-
fered from Kidney and Liver complaints; and

one who is voter; but the people know
the type and relish description OF it.
You don't find Independents flourish
ing much except where they have made
dishes and ape English ways. Blaine's
strength is greatest and the American
policy most popular where people like
plain food and eat their dinners in the
middle Of the day.
This year il Is a species Of dyspepsia
which the sufferers are pleased TO call
by the name of Independent Republic
anism. The truth is that the party has
been growing too much at the top. 1t
needs pruning there in order 10 get q
better grip at the roots. This is what
is happening in this campaign. We
are losing a few superlluous branches
and spreading among the people. l
hope we are rid OF the so-called Inde-
pendents for good, but they have played
so many farewell engagements, only to
come back TO announce another, that
joy over their departure is chastened by
their intimation that this is a tempo
rary severance Of their relations with
the Republican party. Seriously, when

fertilizers-some of them to no profit,
but the larger portion are learning
their value and how to use them profit
ably. | would be glad to note many
of their methods, which would be of
interest to many of your readers. AS
have frequently said in my public
lectures in Tennessee, no farmer ought
to buy commercial manures unless he
takes care of his home manures first.
If he does he is apt to be careless and
use them unwisely, and then declare
they are all humbug. In the state
of Georgia, where fertilizers have been
used longest, they are the most priced
for their worth. And just here l would
say that many farmers think there is
no difference in them. There is just
as much, if not more, difference in fer
tilizerS than there is in any article of
merchandise. Study your soils, study
your crops and feed them according to
their requirement. But to return to
the outlook for the South. / can dis
cover much improvement every year.
Farmers are getting more independent
of the merchants, giving fewer mort
cages and buying less on credit, Then,
again, there is big boom all over the
South in manufacturing enterprises
of all kinds. The hum of the spindle
and chatter of the loom is heard in
many places where twas once thought
impossible to make fine goods. And
the great iron furnaces and rolling
mills are turning out their thousands
of tons of the best iron in the world
daily, causing many Of our older
brethren OF the North to hold their
breath in establishment and wonder if
anything good can come out of Naza.

up, is upon the people of the South,
and if we will just utilize all our

years more will show to the world
which is the best country on earth

How Men Grow Handsome.
V. NJ. METCALF.

A correspondent writes me: "We
were speaking of handsome men the
other evening, and ! was wondering
why K had lost the beauty for
which, five yearsag he was so famous.
Its becauses he never did anything,
replied B; he never worked,
thought or suffered. You must have
the mind chiseHng away at the features
if you want handsome middle-aged
men, Since hearing that remark l
have been on the watch to see whether
it is generally true-and lis. A hands
some man who does nothing but eat
and drink, grows fabby, and the fine
lines of the features are lost, but the
hard thinker has an admirable sculptor
at work keeping the fine lines in repair,
and constantly growing over his face
to improve the original design"
The theory is not new. But that it
is a true theory isinstanced on all sides.
Take man who has carved his way
up in the world, not one who has
merely become rich, but one who has
thought and studied. Take a good
look at him. Then if his "folk" have
kept to their old habits, their old man>
ner of life in all things, go and look at
them. You may trace resemblance
between him and his father or brother,
but it resemblance you would never
haYe discovered had you not been
hunting for it. He by their side will
be as being from another sphere.

A Hint to Orchard Men.
To The Standard.

To The Standard.
1t is a we'll known fact that orchards
do not thrive and produce good fruit
unless the ground is plowed or in some
way stirred, at least once in two or
three years or oftener. 1t is also very
well known that it is difficult matter
to pillow many mountain orchards after
the trees are large, say nearly grown,
the ground being so steep and rocky, it
is very laborious to man and beast to
pillow it before the trees are in the way.
| have a plan in view, which l have
tried to a limited extent, by which to
get our rough mountain orchards
thoroughly plowed without either labor
or cost, and the owner receive pay by
it besides the benefit derived from the
Improvement of the fruit. Ny plan
is this: Plant those rough places IN
mountain orchards, or indeed any Or
chard, in artichokes about the time
the trees are getting large enough to be
greatly in the way of blowing, say
when they are five or six years old, or
at any, subsequent period, if not done
before. Plant and cultivate like corn.
1t will only require about half as much
work as corn, and that only the first
year. Let no stock on the first year
until February or March, then put
hogs in and they will thoroughly pillow
the ground. Take them off the first
Of April. The artichokes will then
come up promiscously all over the
ground. Turn them on in February
and March again and you will then
get your orchard cultivated, broomsege
and briarS kept out without labor or
cost after the first year, and you will
receive your extra pay on the growth
of your hogs, as artichokes are very
productive. l have dug a peck from
one hill in very rich ground.

winter, and am just turning my face
hOmeward to old Kentucky land. There
are many things ! might write about
that might interest your readers, but
as time is short will only give you a
few short notes.
The South has turned out more cot
ton the last season than was predicted
by many. This was owing largely to
the fine weather in the fall Tor picking.
and Notwithstanding the severe drouth
in many places, yet a much larger
crop of corn, oats, grass and stock was
raised than usual. While there are
many exceptions, yet most of the
farmers made enough to live upon and
some to spare. They are beginning
to realize the Importance of not cult
waiting cotton, cotton, and nothing
but cotton. They are also paying
much more attention than usual tc
stock of all kinds, especially are cattle
raised in Mississippi to great profit. In
Georgia and Alabama the farmers are

Leona, the hour draws nigh,
The hour we've waited so long,
For the angel to open door thorough the
sky,
That my spirit may break from its prison
and try
Its voice in an infinite song.
Just now as the slumbers of night
Came over me with peace-giving breath,
The curtain, half lifted, revealed to my sight
Those windows which look on the kingdom
of light,
That borders the river of death.
And vision fell solemn and sweet,
Bringing CLEANS of morning-lit land /;
| saw the white shore which the pale waters
beat,
And heard the low lull as they broke at
their feet
Who walked on the beautiful strand.
And wondered why spirits could cling
To their clay with struggle and sigh,
When life's purple Autumn is better than
Spring,
And the soul flies away like the sparrow to
sing
In climate where leaves never die.
Leona, come closer to my bed,
And lay your dear head on my brow;
The same touch that thrilled me in days that
are fled
And raised the lost roses of youth from the
dead,
Can brighten the brief moments now.
We have lived from the cold world apart,
And your trust was too generous and

For their hate to overthrow; when the Sian.

Young Vanderbilt, who was fire.
quent visitor at Mr.. McHenry's house
in London, used to look at this table
with longing eyes and often expressed
his envy of its possession. So MIR. Nc
Henry who was fond Of the young
man, determined one day to send i.
over here to him as q surprise. In the

Mr. McIIenry, II have no use for it.
The table is already on its way to

On the same day, by the way, William
