Congressman G. It. O'Ferrall Judge Wal.
Ter r. Staples and Capt. S. q. Williams spoke
to large crowd at Wythevlle yesterday.
They charged the republicans as being the
oppressors Of the laboring class; that Ma
hone had voted for bill TO permit Chinese
immigration and the pauper labor Of ELL
rope to come to this country to. compete
with American labor; that if the surplus of
millions of dollars now in the government
treasury, collected from an over. taxed peo.
pie to support and sustain monopolies, was
distributed throughout tho country, the cry
of hard times would be heard no more !;
that the present stagnation in business was
not due TO the new administration, but that
it had been coming for the last three years !;
that the democratic party did not propose
to disturb the iron interest Of this country
that it was for putting down oil monopolies
for the protection of the people; that the
new administration had already saved the
Government hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in the several branches of the govern
ment.
F. S. Blair and r. p w. Morgan, ex-post-
master Of Lynchhurg, addressed crowd of
their followers also They claimed that if
the proposed Hewitt tariff bill was passed
by the next Congress that all the iron fur
naces in the country would close; that Pres

Congressman Tucker was lobbyist; that

The WASHINGTON Republican says the
Virginia democrats are confident they will
succeed at the next election. OF course they
are; but not, as the Republican says, by the
nse of illesitimate means. When all the
democrats who left their party on the debt
question have come back TO it; when nearly
all the old republicans OF the State will vote
against Gen. Malone when the negroes are
by:no means as united as they have hereto
fore been; and when the General has neither
federal nor State patronage 81 his disposal,
and his campaign fund is lcw,why shouldn't

MAJOR BAYLY, in his speech here last
night, exposed tho "nakcd truth" Of Gen.
Malone, and told 'the true story" of his
methods" The Major has been republican
ever since the war, and knows whereof ho
speaks. How any conscientious and con-
sistent republican can vote FOR the General
passes human comprehension; that any
democrat can do so is utterly impossible,

TIE MAHoNE1TEs in Virginia ana their
friends in the North say that the democrats
only carry this State by denying the negroes
the privilege of voting. AND YET III one "
the districts of the black belt the vote OF
1884 was six thousand in excess of that of
1882 To q man on the ground, this looks
yery much as if there was fraudulent in
crease instead of forcible suppression OF
the colored vote. But nearly all the state
ments of the Mahoneites are disproved just
as easily. Indeed, hardly anybody now
takes the trouble to deny any Of their state
ments, for those who believe them are either
80 densely ignorant and stupid, or oblinded
by their hate against the people ofFirginia,
that nothing will undeceive them.

che Proper Summer Diet for Young and |
Growing Pigs.

che Proper Summer Diet for Young and
Growing Pigs.
There is no better food for young pigs
after weaving than good skinned milk,
with a little sweet, moderately fine
wheat bran and corn meal stirred into
it. There should not be a large proper
ton of meal in the mixture at first, nor
SO long as the pig is making growth,
though corn meal is excellent to finish
off fattening with. Many young pig
has been spoiled by overfeeding with
corn or corn meal. 1t is impossible to
get good growth on such food alone
Clear milk would be better. but milk
will pay larger profit when given in
connection with some grain. Milk
alone is rather to bulky for a sole diet;
it distends the stomach too much and
gives the animal too much to do to get
rid of the surplus water. Many young
pigs are spoiled by overlooking. When
first weanedN they should be given a
little at time and often. They always
will put a foot in the trough. and food
left before them long time gets so
dirty that it may be entirely unfit
to be eaten But one of the worst
methods of feeding milk to pigs is to
have it stand in a sour swill barrel,
mixed in along with cucumber parings,
sweet corn cobs and other kitchen
wastes, till the whole mass is far adj
vanced in the fermentation stage.
Sweet milk is good, and milk that is
slightly sour may be better, it may be
even more easily digested, but milk that
soured until it bubbles, till the sugar in
it has turned into alcohol or into vine-
gar, is not fit food for swine of any
age, and certainly not for young pigs
that have just been taken from their
mother. A hog will endure consider
able abuse, will live in wet and filthy
pens, will eat almost every sort Of
filthy food, and often thrive fairly WELL
but a pig that is kept in comfortable
quarters and fed upon wholesome food
will pay a much better profit to the
owner and furnish much sweeter pork
for the barrel. Nearly all the diseases
which hogs are subject to are caused by
cold, wet pens, or by sour, inferior swill.
Better throw surplus milk away than to
keep it until it rots and then force il
down the throats of swine. Farmers
should keep swine enough to take all
| the wastes of the farm while in fresh
condition and then supplement- it with
good wheat niddlings and corn meal.
Our own practice has been to keep pigs
enough to take the skinned milk each
day direct from the dairy room, with
out the use of a swill barrel to store and
sour it in. A swill barrel in summer is
nuisance on any farm. We could
never find good place 20 keep it
where it would not draw flies or breed
les. In winter it would be- less object
ionable, but it is a nuisance at all tunes
and in all places.-M. Z. Herald.

One seed at q time, and the forest grows;
One drop at @ time, and the river flows

One stone at a time. palace rears
Aloft its stately head;
One blow at q time, and the trees cleft thro',
And city viii stand where the forest grew
A few short years before.
One foe at a time, and he subdued,
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at a time, and the sands of life
Win slowly all be run.
One minute, another, the hours fly:
One day at time, and our lives speed by
Into eternity.
One grain of knowledge, and that well

HlNDoo TIME.
The Curiosities of the Eastern Method o.
Reckoning Time.

1h6 CurIOSlCieS Oh Inc cdSb6En hcguUu OF
Reckoning Time.
The Hindoos also employed ages in
the computation of time, and these,
too, divided into periods of different
durations. The present age is the kali
y,sga, or the age of iron; 1895 years of
it have already passed, but its total du-
ration is supposed to be $4,000 years.
The succession OF the ages, counting
back. is given as follows:
Fourth age-Kak yuga, age of iron,
or of woe (the present age), to be of
1872 200 years.
Third age-Dvapara yuga. $4,000
years.
Second age-IreIa yaga, or age of
silver, 1926, 900 years.
First age-KritG yatga, age of gold,
or of innocence, 1,728,000 years.
These four ages form the nlalta yugG,
or great age, of 4,320,000 years. The
length of patriarchate is seventy one
maha yugas, or 800, 720,O 900 years. to
which is added a twilight period OF
1,728, 900 years, making in all 308, 49,
900 years. Fourteen of these patri-
archates, augmented by a dawn OF
1,728,00O years, gives 4,320.00Q 900
years, which form a katpa, or the 9on
of the Hindoo chronology.
A kalpa is only day IN the life Of
Brahma, whose nights are also of the
same duration. Now, Brahma lives q
hundred years of the three hundred
and sixty DAYS and three hundred and
sixty nights. The present epoch is the
kali yuqa, of the twenty-seyenth grand
age of the seventh patriarchate of the
first aeon of the second half of the life
of Brahma. who is now in his 1885,.

A Writer Who VIII Not BE Popular With
the Children of the Weli-to-do.
In future, we should say, Mr.. Ruskin
will not be particularly popular with
the children of those who are well-to-
do, to Judge from a letter he has been
writing. The father, he says, should
never provide for his children. He
should educate and maintain them to
the very best of his power till they are
of mature age" Then, when they
are strong enough, throw them out of
the nest, as the bird does.'' mo for
tune" should be left to them.n The
.'nest" should always be at their dis
posal--" fathers house open. says Mr..
Ruskin-but nothing more. Mr..
Ruskin does not say what he means bv
'.mature age" so that we are left to fix
the period of maturity for ourselves.
Some would place it at one time, some
at another. And, moreover. Mr.. Ruskin
does not tell US what is to become of the
property which would, in ordinary
course, be handed over by father to
his children. if he had it to hand over.
Is it to go to the State, or to an institu-
ton, or to any other relatives than the
unfortunate offsprings? Honorable
children. " says Mr. Ruskin, twill have
their own houses. But that is not
always the case; and what is the use of
the said children providing for their
parents. = if the said parents do not re.
quire to be provided fora Mr.. Ruskin
is good enough to lay down that "no
guilt should ever stand between child
and PARENTS but, though this sounds
generous. it is not wholly intelligible.
People viii still want to know why. il
they have the means, they should not
''provide for their children; and the
only persons, we fear, who will salute
Mr. Ruskin as prophet are those who
may be glad of an excuse for casting
their progeny upon the world. London

OLD SHOES.
The Parts They FIJI In the Bow cir and
Parlor.

The Parts They Fill In the Bou DIR and
Parlor.
1t may be surprise to some people
to learn that the old shoes cast into the
ash barrels are liable to appear in the
boudoir and parior. A New York re-
porter who saw couple OF rag-pickers
quarreling over a lot of worn-out and
seemingly worthless foot gear inter-
viewed one of the chiffonniers, and
found that they sold them to the manu-
faeturers of wall paper. He followed
up the clew, and on questioning the
foreman of one of these establishments
elected the following bits of informa-
ton:
1--WE buy said the foreman, ..all
the boots and shoes that the scavengers
can bring us. We pay different prices
for the different qualities of leather A
pair of fine calfskin boots will bring as
high as fifteen cents. We don't buy
cowhide boots. The boots and shoes
are first soaked in several waters to get
the dirt off them. Then the nails and
threads are removed, the leather,
ground up into fine pulp, and IS
ready to use.
''The embossed leather paperings
which have come into fashion lately,
and the stamped leather fire screens,
are really nothing but thick paper COW
cred with layer of this pressed leather
pulp. The finer the quality Of the
leather, the better it takes the bronze
and old gold and other expensive col.
ors in the designs painted on them.
Fashionable people think they are going
away back to the medieval times when
they have the walls of their libraries
and dining-rooms covered with en-
bossed leather They don't know that
the shoes and boots which their neigh
bors threw into the ash barrel month
before form the beautiful material on
their walls and on the screens which
protect their eyes from the fire.

THE ART OF GOOD TALKING.
The Virtue In Good Subject and the Value
of Silence.

"a StAChCCs
Those who are not very good takers
and are mortified sometimes by being the
wall flowers of the evening". may get
some consolation from the consideration
that there is great deal of talk that
could very well be spared, and that idle
words must be accounted for. Indeed,
they also serve who only listen. A
Frenchman once said of gentleman in
whom he could detect no other quality
worthy of compliment, that he had q
great talent for silence" And some
people are very valuable in that way.
We have known people who could listen
SO inspiringly as to draw eloquent dis
course from very ordinary people.
THE whole force of conversation,
some one SAYS. .'depends on how much
you can take for granted" The good
listener may contribute to that force by
intelligent nodding. We once intro
duced two friends who were going in
the same car on. an all-day journey.
One of them was an inveterate talker;
the other. also good talker, could keep
still when necessary. Meeting the lat
ter few months after, we inquired
how they enjoyed that day together.
.'The doctor enjoyed it first rate, said
the quiet man. ''He began talking
when the. train started, and never
stopped until it pulled into Jersey City,
encouraged by only intermittent mods
and smiles from me. Parting as we left
the train, the doctor remarked ELUSIVE
ly, We have had a good day; | don't
know when I have enjoyed converse
ton so much
Talk and silence do make good con-
yersation sometimes, if they be rightly
adjusted to each other. Successful con-
yersation assumes, in the first place,
sympathetic people. There must at
least be willingness to get on COM
mon ground. DIR. johnson once tried a
fellow traveller in stage coach on yari-
Gus topics and could get nothing out of
| him. At last the poor fellow, realizing
the humil ating situation, in despair ex-
claimed, TRY me on leather!" He did
| and found an eloquent talker. He who
can adjust himself to his company will
always be entertaining A good talker
| must have, in the second place, a good
subject. Gossip leads to alterations.
The man or woman having worthy
subject will talk naturally. Small ma
lures talk about people, earnest souls
talk about things. 1t is easy to be
fluent in canyassing our neighbours pc
cularities, but one can't gossip about
astronomy and Free Trade and induc-
tive philosophy.-Boston Beacon.
