THE man who can set out tobacco plants all day and not experience at night that feeling generally conceded to rusty barlow knife, is made of a very good quality of printing-ofice roller compost ton. AN attempts to invent a tobacco plant machine have resulted in failure, and in all probability, the gaunt Ken- tuckian will continue to hump himself across the broad field. The hand of recognized ability does not straigh,en up until he reaches the end of a row, no matter if the row should be mile long. At first there is a sense of giddi- ness, as the setter" !" moves along, dip- ping down into the flat, pancake " hills" 1" where the youngsters have dropped the plants. After awhile, the calves of the legs begin to feel tight, and then an ach- ing stiffness settles in the back. The eyes of the victim protrude in wide and vacant stare. When he reaches the end of the row, if he be ambitious to compete with the man who has proclaimed him. self the champion. he does not straiehten his back but turns into another row. Of conrse this seems foolish, but every call ing has its aspirations. When unable longer to endure the torture of being z shut up" the "sefter" climbs on the feace and sesetchss his back over the top rail You can hear him snap. like the breaking of joint of cane.

The experience of Majuba Hill has perhaps

thc same errors will be committed again. But
as il is clear that anything short OF success
against the Beers would be much worse than no
action at all. n formidable expedition is ncces-
sarv. Not less than 10000 men must be sent
to the Cape, and it does not seem probable that
such force can be spared until the Nile ex-
petition is over, while the demand for Lord
Wolselcy in both places will almost certainly
compel the postponcmcnt of the South African

ENGLAND md TIE BOERS.

However reluctant Mr. Gladstone and the
Liberals may be TO NEEDLE any more III South
African affairs, the action of the Beers has been
such as to leave no room for hesitation rs to the
necessity of interference. The plain facts are
that England guaranteed the integrity OF the
territory of Il native African chief named Mont
sioa that the Boer Republic solcmnly under
took, in the convention with England, 10 re-
spcct the territory of this chief and that hardly
had the convention been ratified when party
of Beers invaded Montsioa's country, defeated
him IN battle. seized his lands, and annexed the
whole To the South African Republic. The BOcr
invasion of Zululand, IN which the Beers sided
with one native tribe against another, also with
the ultimate object OF seizing the lands OF the
beaten chief, is equally breach OF their en-
gagcmcnts, but in that east the English Govern
mcnt is not pledged TO the protection OF the
wronged natives. The case of Monlsioa how
ever, is plainly not one in which any Govern
mcnt can afford to refuse action. The question
whether the whole South African policy has not
been i.l-dvsed cannot be brought forward
here. The only question in issue ia whether

The latest figures from Ohio continue TO
furnish gratifying Ievidence of the splendid
victory won by the Republicans OF that State on
Tuesday last Every one knows that with the
Democrats it was a life and death struggle, ana
that all the devices of the enemy were rcsorted
to TO beat Robinson and enable them to claim
victory or at least drawn battle. Yet III
spite of this, Robinsons plurality still stands
near the handsome figure OF 12,OOO. B'it this
is by no means fair test of Republican strength
in Ohio on National issucs-it is not even fair
indication on questions of purely local interest
rs the vote of 1000 for Flcknger, for Member
of the Board of Public Works, abundantly shows.
The real measure of the Republican strength OF
Ohio is to be looked for in the Congressional
Districts, and here the Republican majority Is
found to amount to the magnificent total OF
5000, or 5000 more than TIE TRIBUNE
claimed rs the result of the contest on the
morning after the election. Add to TINS the
majority against us last year, which Will swell
the Republican gains to 10000. and the tue
size of the victory is ut once apparent.
