The Worlds Exposition, TO be held
in New Orleans, opening in Deem
Der next, and continuing for six
months or more, bids fair TO equal, if
it does not outstrip, the Centennial, "
held in Philadelphia in 1876. A
dozen or more foreign natiors have
already expressed themselves as deep
" interested in the enterprise, and
have provided for the most complete
exhibit of their industrial and agri-
cultural products. Viscount Paul
d'Abzac, Consul General of the
French Republic, and lately appoint
ed by that nation Commissioner Gen
eral to the Worlds Exposition, has
applied to Chief of-Installation Mullen
for $4,000 square feet of space in the
fereign section of the main building
and $4,000 square feet in the machin-
erv section. The Viscount says that
his country will undoubtedly surpass
all her former expositional splendors
in the exhibits she will make at New
Orleans.

The State Ticket.

Being anxious of placing before our
readers the full state ticket nominated
at Burlington yesterday, we have de-
layed for one day the issue of the
News & CITIZEN. OF the ticket nom
mated it is sufficient to say that from
beginning to end it is clean, satisfac-
tory and one which every true Repub-
lican can cordially and heartily sup
port.
Col. Pingree, who heads the ticket,
was a gallant soldier aud bears upon
his person the honored scars which
testify to his valiant and brave
service. He has made an excel
lent Lieutenant Governor and will
be an able Governor.
lion. E. J. Ormsbee is another vet
eran, whose distinguished service for
his country in the war of the rebellion,
and whose sterling worth and ability
have won for him successive promo
tons in civil life, until to-day he is
doubtless the probable successor to
Pingree. He is man of cool, calm,
decided qualities, not impulsive, pos
sibly a little slow in arriving at con-
illusions, but a man Of mature and eX-
cellent judgment and one fully CON-
petent to fill any office within the gift
of the people in our State.
Treasurer Dubois and Auditor Pow
ell, now ably fill the positions to which
they are again renominated. We
should have been much pleased t.
have seen Hon. Phillip X. Gleed
nominated to the Office of State
Auditor, an Office which he would have
ably filled. But the way did not seem
clear to his nomination, as the public
mind seemed to have quite generally
settled down to the conviction that
Auditor Powell had by faithful service
earned a denomination.
Charles w. Porter, the nominee fol
Secretary of State, is one of the mos
genial and popular young men of Yer
mont. He has been Deputy Secretary
of State for the past nine years
Dnring the whole canvas but one yer.
dict has been rendered, aud that that
his is one of the best names that coulC
have been presented. He is lawyer
by profession, and is So years old.
]. d. Hatch and Hiram Harlow
the nominees for Electors at Large
are men of ability, and well-knowI
throughout the State.
Altogether the ticket is a strong
one, one with which the Republicans
can roll up an old time majority.

POLITICAL,

Ex-Judge and ex-senator David
Davis, of Illinois, regards the nomi-
nation of Blaine as that of the peo-
pie and in defiance Of the politi-
clans and office holders.
A prominent business man in Han
cock county, Maine, adds to bust
ness letter the prediction that Blaine
will prove the strongest candidate
that could be named by the Republi-
cans.
The Catholic ReUie,y informs the
Democrats that they must elect their
best man in order to defeat Mr..
Blaine, who is, in it's opinion, the
strongest and most adroit man in the
Republican party.
The Indianapolis Journal, which
did not support any aspirant for the
Republican nomination, says that the
convention at Chicago 'could not
have named ticket that will prove
stronger in Indiana than Blaine and
Logan"
The New York Graphic (Dem. }
says that Mr.. Blaine is the strongest
man the Republicans could have
named, and that those who are now
hostile to him will soon come round.
1t warns its party that it must bring
out its best man to defeat him.
| Mr.. George William Curtis said
when in Boston recently that he
should support Mr.. Blaine in prefer
ence to supporting Democrat.
The Independents in New York
are now advising the Democrats in
regard to q Presidential ticket and
platform. They would have Cleve-
land and Carlisle and declaration jim
favor of tariff for revenue only.
We trust that the Democrats will &C
cept their advice.
A New Hampshire correspondent
writes: A careful canvass of Sullivan
county shows the same old enthusi-
asm for Blaine that has existed for
years. The veteran Republican, Hon.
Ruel Durkee, of Croydon, said: 81
would rather see Blaine President
than any other man in the country.
Intelligence from different parts of
NJ massachusetts, indicate that Mr..
Blaine will get more votes from the
industrial classes who have of late
been voting the Democratic ticket
than he will lose by the independent
or free trade movement. The indus
trial people outnumber the latter by a
very large majority.
The ADLER and cooler Democratic
papers of the south declare that the
Democratic party need not flatter it.
self that Blaine and Logan can easily
be defeated.

All doubt as to the intentions of
Samuel ]. Tilden, with reference to
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dency, have been set at rest by the
publication of letter, dated June 10,
in which he definitely declines to ac-
cept the nomination. In this letter he
quotes part of his letter to the Demo-
cratic National Convention of 1880,
in which he declined a denomination,
and says that in the four years that
have elapsed, nothing has occurred to
weaken, but everything to strengthen,
the convictions which induced his
withdrawal from public life. He also
gives as q reason, advancing years and
declining strength, and says in closing
his letter: &" 1 but submit to the will
of God in deeming my public career
forever closed" With Mr.. Tilden's
retirement, a unique character passes
out of American politics.

steamboat pilots and railroad engineers should
let liquor alone. For on their clearness of sight
and GOODNESS of head depends the safety of life
and property"
Keeping his hand on the wheel as he said this,
Mr.. A. Brockman, of No. 20 IL Silver street,
Chicago, added: ''Of course, some of 'em drink
but the sober ones have the best positi ms and
the best pay. Yes, the work and exposure some
times tell on us; but for my part find Parker's
Tonic to be all the invigOrant need. I've got

any way out of sorts, it sets me up in no time.
If drinking men would use the Tonic it would

tised and sold simply under the name of Parker's
Tonic As unprinciped dealers are constantly
decelving their customers by substituting InCeri-
or articles under the name of ginger, and as gin

The Republican Vote of Twelve
Years Ago.

The talk of bolt against Blaine
and the hostile attitude of several in4
fuential Republican newspapers nat
urally calls to mind the "anything-to-
beat Grant" movement of 1872.
When, in the spring of that year, it
became apparent that Grant would
certainly get the Republican nomina-
ton, large and intelligent element
in the Republican party organized
bolt in advance of the Philadelphia
convention. The leaders included
several men of national reputation
and influence, such as Senators Sum-
nor, Trumbull, Upton, Ferry, Schurz
and Fenton, and many other politi-
clans of note, as for instance, Long
John" Wentworth, Stanley Matthews,
Gen. Cochrane, Judge Hoadly, Gov

Farm and Live Stock Notes

Cream rises best at 60 ..
Animals fatten quicker if kept
quiet.
Throw fresh sods daily to confined
hens.
Buckwheat on poor, light soil is the
best crop for green manure.
Clear out the old hay from the bot
tom of the mows before the new goes
in.
Heavy land may be improved in
texture by the use of burned clay
plowed in.
A mixture of honey, vinegar and
squills or garlic is a good cough rem
edy for animals.
Bee keepers should always have an
eye open to any scarcity Of honey
that may occur, and make up the de-
ficiency by feeding.
If land is very weedy, careful cul-
ture for one or two seasons will tell
on the weeds by reducing them Won
derfully. Aim at their destruction
when they are small and soft; allow
none to grow large, and stir the soil
frequently to cause new crops to
sprout until all are cleared off.
Where plaster can be had for from
three to five dollars per ton, the man
who neglects to SOW it neglects one
of the best means of enriching his
land, for plaster will help the clover
and clover the land. Plaster is also
very beneficial to peas. Sow from
one to two bushels per acre.
If swine are troubled with vermin
the animal will show it by continual
ly rubbing and scratching itself. In
such cases the body should be washed
with saleratus water, rather weak, OF
with a I've of wood ashes, afterwards
applying an infusion of lobelia over
the skin, and mixing a teaspoonful OF
sulphur in the food of each animal
daily.
Light sandy soils suffer more from
drouths than any other, because their
capillary power to raise water from
the subsoil is less than any other.
Any course that will add humus, Oh
| decayed vegetable matter to the soil,
i will increase its water holding power,
and to the same degree It's value for
cropping. The blowing in of green
crops is one Of the best means Of i'm
proving such soils, and it should be
employed in one field or another every
year. The application of manure
serves the same end, but the quantity
is usually too limited to be depended
upon alone.
If circumstances were against ma
nuring the corn ground thoroughly be-
fore planting, doing so after it is up
may take its place with good effects.
Lime, gypsum, ashes, guano, or hen
manure are as available as any, and
there are several ways Of applying it.
One is by making shallow furrow on
each side Of the rows, few inches
from the plants, throwing the earth
away from the row, and depositing a
small quantity of the manure on each
side of the hill, afterwards covering
it. a similar method is sometimes
practiced with barn-yard manure and
along the seaboard with fish. The
other way Of using the fine fertilizers
is to sprinkle them on the hill at the
first hoeing, Incorporating the matter
with the soil during the operation.
Hardly as good results should be ex.
pected by the last means as by the
first. There need be no fear of using
guano or strong hen manure if the
precaution is taken not to have i
come against the plants.
