HALIFAX, N. s., March IA.
r. IL. Clergue, ESQ.,, of Bangor, attorney
for the Maine Central railroad who was large
~ instrumental in building up the steamboat
line from Mt. Desert Ferry, Me to Digby. n.
D., has been here for several days on an i'm
portant mission, connected with Pay-on Tuck
ers scheme for making Mt. Desert Ferry the
terminus OF line of transatlantic steamers
and the winter port OF the Canadian Pacific.
On Thursday, Mr.. Clergue had an inter-
view with the Nova Scoia government. and
submitted an offer for smalgamating and oper-
atlng the system of railroads in Western Nova
Scotia The large proportion of trade Of
Nova Scotia, VEST of Halifax, is with the New
England States. This has hitherto been ear
RED on by small veasels and two or three
riVal steamboat lines. Last year a line of
boats was put on between Mt Desert Ferry
and Digby and Annapolis.
The distance between Halifax and Var
mouth, 2l5 miles is covered bv three railroad
companies. There is missing link between
Annapolis (the old Port Royal, the oldest set
tlement on the continent, and Digbv, a dis
tance of two miles. The conflict of railroad
interests and exorbitant rates, has disgusted
the people. demoralized trade and finally
brought such pressure to bear, as to compel
the government to deal with the matter by
consolidating the roads.
There are several schemes for completing
and consolidating this system:
First, by Windsor & Annapolis company ::
but their proposition is an apparently mpos
sble one.
Second, by Montreal capitalists.
Third, by an English syndicate, whose
terms are unknown.
Fourth, by the Maine Central Railroad
Their offer is understood to be that, aided by
the government, they will make their own
terms with the owners of various roads; that
they will build the missing link between Ar
napolis and Digby, relay the whole road with
steel rails and equip and operate it in every
respect equal to the Maine Central system,
provided the government will guarantee their
bonds for 81 100000 or more. They will also
put on first class daily line of fast passenger
and freight boats between Mt. Desert Ferry
and Yarmouth Digby and Annapolis, anG
thus not only practically control the whole
trade of Western Nova Scoria and turn it
completely into American channels, but also
largely control the New England tourists
travel
Mr. Clergue has also recently spent several
weeks at Augusta, securing legislation for 80
miles of railway between Bangor and Moose
head Lake to meet the International railway,
and thus connect with the Canada Pacific
ystem and make Mt. Desert Ferry the winter
shipping port of the Canada Pacific, in rivalry
of Boston or the Grand Trunk at Portland.
This connection would also control the trait
tic between the maritime provinces and Que
bee and Ontario, and shorten travel between
Halifax and Montreal, by 800 miles in dis
tsnce, and at least IL hours in time. The
president and other officials of the Maine Cen
trail will arrive here in a few days to urge the
acceptance Of their scheme.

WAsnISGToS, March IT,
Since it leaked out here that the Ma,ns
democrats were planning to have Colonel
Morton made postmaster at Augusta, several
prominent republicans have been 10 see Pres
ident Cleveland about it. They represented
to him that Morton's paper, the New Age,
published at Mr. Blaine's home, circulated
the stories concerning him and his family ia
the most offensive way, and urged the Pres
ident, as personal courtesy TO Mr.. Blaine,
not to put Morton in as postmaster. These
facts were also laid before Postmaster Cen
eral Villas. As result, it is doubtful if
Morton is nominated, as the Maine senators
will be pretty sure to defeat his confirmation
in the Senate, and as the policy Of the adj
ministration is clearly not to antagonize the
senators for personal reasons, it looks as IL
Mr.. Blaine may secure Morton's discontinue.

Carr. w. L. CoUcH, Kansas CITY:
The President is OF the opinion that further
negotiations with the Greeks and Semmoles.
as contemplated BY the recent action Of Con-
gress, is necessary to authorize a settlement
of 0klahama- His proclamation is intended
to eject cattle syndicates on the one hand and
suspend, on the other, a settlement of the
country. We have urged on the secretary of
the interior, in view OF the exegencies of the
situation, to proceed at once to conclude the
negotistions and place on commission, a rep
reseHtstive of the settlers. We deem il best
for all the parties 10 await an action. II must
be understood that the corrupt conspiracy. hv
which land in the 0klahams country and the
whole Indian territory has been illegally oc-
capied by cattle kings. is strongly defended
here by powerful financial infuences. This
has been for years, and is now represented
by persons holding high positions in the gov
ernment- These men are persistent in their
misrepresentation They who attack here,
sny of the great wrongs which have fastened
on the government. undertake task of great
magnitude. The only safety for the people is
sharply defined public opinion. rising above
all party distinctions, and demanding that
public domain shall be held sacred, as the
heritsge for actual settlers.

what would seem a high price, care
to purchase a lot of small potatoes, so
that after carrying them home your
wife would throw them out because
they were too small to use? If you
are like the average man you would
grumble considerably, and before
you purchased the chances are that
you would ask for a reduction in the
price simply because there were 50
many small ones. Yet when you
send your crops to market you persist
in sending them to market just as
they are dug in the field. The same
holds good with the larger per cent
of farm products, both in fruits, vege-
tables or grain. You know one sack
of poor wheat mixed with load of
good will lower the price; SO will a
few poor strawberries in box lower
the price secured, often more than
the poor berries are worth of them
selves, yet they injure the sale of the
whole lot. That some farmers take
considerable pains to properly sort
their products before sending to mar
ket is shown by the difference in the
price secured, and if you expect to
secure the highest prices you must
take a little pains to assert and send
to market in as neat a condition as
possible; and if you are not willing
to do this you have no just cause for
complaint if you fail to get the best
prices. A little trial will readily
convince you that it will pay to sort
over.
When the market is good, and
there is hardly a sufficient supply to
meet the demand you may secure
fair prices. AS soon as the supply
exceeds the demand hepoorest quail
tiles are the soonest to suffer, and
oftenest the best will bring profitable
prices, the poor will not be sold al
all, and as you are never sure when
this stage will be reached, the risk is
to great to be profitable. If you want
to secure the best prices and realize
the most profit, you must be willing
to take considerable pains to sort ovel
your farm products before sending tt
market, and the earlier you com
mence the more profitable will bt
the result.

The First Thousand Dollars.

1t looks like our folks never will get
rich. Somehow or other they can't
make the first 81, 900. If they make
it they can't save it. An Irishman
was asked how he managed to get so
rich and he said he never bought any
thing that he was not obliged to have
but our people reverse the rule and
buy most everything they are not
obliged to have. That is the way we
do at our homes and most everybody
else that know of. We have got rich
folks with poor mans purse, and so
we live on strain. 1t is curious
circumstance in this life, that the folks
who would be charitable with their
money haven't got any surplus to give
away. Their very habits of free living
and generosity prevent them from ac>
cumulation.
There are 500 rich men up north to
one down here. They begin early to
save and economic. They take care
of the little and before long they have
the first thousand clear and then they
are safe. Our folks begin early
to keep up with society and the fash
ions and never get the thousand that is
the mudsill, the foundation of wealth.

Farmers are very apt to do this, and
hold their animals, trying to get their
estimated value, until they become
discouraged, and then sell to the first

than their real value. Reflected values
will not hold in stock dealers eyes.
The market value is the only thing he

Sowing Glover Seed.

American Agriculturist
Experience and science are agreed
in regard to the advantages of grow.
ing as much clover as possible on all
farms where wheat, barley, oats and
other creals are the main object of the
agriculturist. AS long as land will
grow good crops Of clever, we need
not fear exhaustion of the soil. But
clover often fails, and the evil is in
creasing. In many cases this is due to
the difficulty of getting a good CATCH"
The seed fails TO terminate. Occasion
ally this is attributable to poor seed.
II is much more likely, however, that
trouble is in the soil. The longer our
soils are cultivated, and especially when
little manure is used, or green crops
plowed under, the poorer the soil be-
comes in organic matter. We see no
special diminution in the yield of grain
crops. This is because we cultivate
better--but at the same time there can
be no doubt that the mechanical con-
dition of the soil is less favorable for
the termination of small seed, like clO-
yer. The soil is hard and loose than
when it was full of decaying leaves
and other organic matter.
When we SOW clover and grass seed
on spring crops where the land has
been recently plowed or cultivated and
narrowed, the soil is, or may be sufi-
GENTLY fine, moist and mellow to in
sure the termination of seed. But
when the seed is sown in the spring,
on winter wheat, or winter rye, the
soils is often as hard and dry on the
surface as barn floor. In such a
case narrowing before or after sowing
the seed is decidedly advantageous.
We might harrow before sowing.the
seed and roll afterwards.
