Sunday Telegraph: There seems to
come a whisper from Chicago, Cincin-
natl and New York saying "Twelye
years ago, when we had the father of
the republican party, Horace Greeley,
for our candidate, several United
States senators, score or more of
congressman and a woodsful of liberals,
we made so poor a show that the
republicans reelected Grant by the
largest majority ever before given a
presidential candidate, SO what's the
use of Curtis, Schurz and handful of
independents thinking they can fence
out the republicans? We got enough
of that kind of business in 1872.
This whisper dispatch seems to be
signed by Whitlaw Reid, N. Y.
Tribune, Murat Halstsad. Cincinnati
Commercial, and by the Chicago
Tribune, the three great papers which
Greeleyized. The managers of those
papers, thinking to test their power.
early in the year 1872, long before the
conventions were called, decided to
try their hand at tearing their party
to pieces. Their horrible failure made
them ashamed of themselves, and they
don t like to see the matter mentioned.

PREVENTION OF CHOLERA.
Extracts from circular issued by the VISION
sin State Board of Ii ealth, July 81, 1884

from circular issued by the w lScOn-
sin State 3 GARD Of Ii ealth, July 81, 1884.
It is beyond question that Cholera
Of genuine Asiatie type exists in sew
eral places on the western shore of
Europe, and, in the opinion of those
best informed concerning it, there is
great danger that it will spread from
these centers Of Infection, and, follow
ing the course of previous Cholera
epidemics, will reach this country
within the next few months, while
there is possibility of its doing so at
any time.
On the part of private citizens and
householders the State Board of
Health recommends careful investi-
cation and thorough cleansing of
cellars, barns and out-houses generally;
of house-drains, sinks, cesspools,
privy vaults, together with a frequent
and plentiful use of lime whitewash
wherever it may be appropriate; atten-
ton to the ventilation Of all parts of
the dwelling; avoidance Of anything
like overcrowding in living rooms or
bed rooms; in short the most scrupu-
lous cleanliness in all respects; both
indoors and out Of doors.
A very efficient way Of disposing of
much refuse, both of households and
communities, and one to be highly COM
mended, is to destroy it by burning,
thus rendering it absolutely harmless.
The Board desires to call the atten-
ton of ali, individuals and communities,
to the great Importance Of looking
with especial care to the character of
their supply of drinking water, and
the adoption of such precautions as will
insure its purity. It is in the water
used for drinking purposes that the
germs of Cholera most often enter the
system, and since this is a source of
danger that frequently needs time for
It's removal, and which cannot be
remedied in the face of Cholera cpl
demic, examination of wells and
similar sources of supply should be
made now. The leakage of privy
vaults and cesspools into wells, the
water of which is highly esteemed. is
a matter Of much more frequent occur
renee than the owners of wells deem
possible.
With the precautions above sugges-
ted, duly observed, it is believed that
we shall have little reason to fear
Cholera while if they be neglected
and the disease should come to us, its
malignity in any given community will
probably be in direct proportion to the
degree of negligence existing there.
Finally, all work done in the line
suggested in the circular will be con-
dusive to health and Of benefit to all,
even though Cholera should not come.

BLAINE IN IRELAND.
How his Nomination is Received in
that Country.

that Country.
from the Dublin Weekly Freeman and Irish
Agriculturalist of June IA, 1884,
Blaine has been always a steady
champion of the Irish, and-what is
nearly as good-a stout opponent of
British interests. His conduct,
especially in 1868, will be long
remembered by Irishmen. When in
'67 Augustus Costello was arrested in
ireland for Unreasonable speech
delivered by him in New York two
years previously, and sentenced to
fifteen years penal servitude, Blaine,
who was Republican leader in congress
made series of powerful speeches in
his behalf and in behalf of Gen. D.
T. Burke and others. which eventually
succeeded in securing their liberation.
These men had the evidence Of their
American citizenship in their posses
sion, but they were disregarded as
defense, or as a protection against
British law, and this aroused much
excitement and indignation in the
States Blaine's advocacy induced
congress to demand the release of the
Fenians from English custody, and
when the British cabinet refused, on
the strength Of the then existing treaty,
the United States government threat
ened reprisals with respect to English
subjects then in the States England
being well frightened, eaved in, as
became her, and Costello, Burke and
the rest, were released This triumph
was mainly due to the mastery advo-
cacy Of Blaine, and the leaning he
then showed toward IriShmen has not
since relaxed. In the many compari-
sons that have been instituted between
the functions of President of America
and those of the English sovereign,
perhaps the most strictly accurate is
that which tells US that they are both
sovereigns, with the distinction that
the Queen reigns but does not govern,
while the President governs but does
not reign. Should the decision of the
autumn election rest upon Blaine we
may be sure that the States will be
governed during the next four years by
genuine friend to the Irish cause.

1t is amusing to hear our democratic
friends argue how they will carry New
York this fall. Democrats are terribly
blind to facts. Tammany with her
10000 votes supporting Butler to a
mantle Irish World and New York
Sun, democratic papers, with powerful
influence working for Blaine and
Logan, and the Republican party
united with the exception of a few
chronic kickers-and Republican
vote of over 555, 900 cast for Garfield
to overcome How easily they will
carry New York. Should New York
fail to give the Republican ticket a
plurality of 10000 votes over Cleve-
land many republicans will be sadly
disappointed. Taking into account
the fact that Cleveland is monopolist
and Englands candidate, and the great
dissatisfaction among democrats, the
REPORTER predicts plurality vote
for Blaine and Logan of $4,000.

Farm Notes.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in recent
report sent to the Senate states that the rate of
the wheat yield is increasing in the districts
where mixed farming and reouperative methods
obtain, and decreasing in the region of consecu-
tive crops of spring wheat" This again shows
that rest and repair are as needful to the soil
as they are to the body.
The vitality of clover seed in the soil may be
illustrated by the following test In the fall of
1850 piece of land was MANFRED with barn-yard
manure containing considerable clover seed; in
1881 it was planted to potatoes; in 1882 in pro
duced crop of oats; in 1883 it was left uncuti-
waited and came into clover-red, white and alsike
the same as the seed in the manure scattered
in 1880, and produced good crop of hay, cut on

every chicken with the gapes may be entirely

The treatment has done no harm, and the trouble
of smoking is but little, if it is done when the
chickens are in the coop. 1t takes but a mo.
ment to put them into basket. and five minutes
is as long as they should be subjected TO the in
halation of the smoke, and not so long if it is
strong enough to produce stupor.

We have quit using all wire for fences. To
make fence pig tight and horse high" all of
wire, requires posts not more than eight feet
apart and eight strands of wire This is too ex-
pensive. Such fence costs us here $435 per
mile, or at the rate of $l35 per rod. We are
now building combination fence altogether
two boards below and three strands of wire
above. We put the posts sixteen feet apart with
short posts between to which to nail the boards
Old posts which have rotted off in the ground
are used for the short posts. We set the posts
at least two feet deep and then pillow on either
side, throwing the earth toward the posts, till
we have a ridge and two bitches. Then we put
on the boards and wires. Such a fence costs
us $500 per mile. This includes all materials,
hauling and building. We use the best galvan-
lied wire with barbs three inches apart. This
wire is heavier than ordinarily used a strand a
mile long weighing from 800 to $40 pounds.
With little practice, the wire can be stretched
and stapled very rapidly. The end posts must
be well braced, or the wire will draw them out

the result of wide observation and no small ex-
perience, and after testing Virginia rail, post

in all, than barbed wire. And when the
monopoly of its manufacture is completely
ended, ITS l think it will before two more years
have gone, the material will be so very cheap
that it will fast become the universal farm
