There was no architectural beauty in

conducted in Norwegian, seemed to US

Perhaps no vegetable has grown so

The farmer who finds no interest in

away behind the times. Improved

Nothing pays the farmer better than
to prepare good comfortable quarters
for his stock during the winter season.
1t is certainly folly to keep his stock
poorly. and in cold quarters, to waste
the food consumed during the feeding
season. More than six-tenths Of onn
domestic animals make no gains during
the time that they are fed at the barn.
Poor quarters and poor keeping during
the cold werther account for this. Can
We afford this loss in taking care OF
our stock during the five or six
months that we keep our stock at the
barn? 1t is hest to have better quar-
ters provided. give better feed, and
make some gain, instead Of this loss.
Barns should he made comfortable and
water provided, not the poor stuff that
comes from ths muddy frog pond, but
good clean water, and such AZ no man
would be afraid tn drink. This il a.

To make stock thrive during winter. il
is necessary to have comfortable quar-

hours for watering. Also it is we'll to
have separate crib for each animal I;
provide good litter for all, keep clean

JOHN saBRMAN's BLOODY SHIFT.

Nhe Inccndiary Speech Made by tho Old
Sorehcad In Ohio-The South Stili I'm tho
S!sddIo.
The opening speech of the Ohio
campaign, ON the part of the Republic
can party, was made at Mount Gilcad
on Thursday afternoon by ScualorJohn
sherman, before II large opcn-air as
scmbla@G. The speech was carefully
prepared in advance, and makes ABOUT
SIX ordinary newspaper columns. "A
few passages upon the changed condi-
ton uf affairs in the national admins.
tration arc as follows: "Somc of the
very men who boaStfully threatened TO
break up the Union, and, with the
oath Of offi&c in support of the C0nsti-
tuition fresh \on their lips, %conspircd
and conicdcratGd to overthrow it,
wagcd war against it and were the
causc Of the loss& of u half u million
lives and thousands of millions of
treasure, have been placed in high

CT which they abandoned with scorn
and defiance. Two members of the
Confederate Congress- and one man
who sympathiZcd with them are at the
head of the great departments of the
government. | saw thci Union flag at
half mast floating over the Interior
Department in sign of honui' and
mourning for the death OF jacob
Thompson, whom we regarded as de-
faultcr and conspirator. This country
is now represented abroad by men
who, within twenty-five Years, were
in arms to overthrow il, and the gov
crning power of the Executive branch
of the government is in sympathy
with thci" ideas and selects chief
officers OF the government from men
who were in war against it. This
strange turn in events has but n cX-
ample in history, and that was the
restoration of Charles the Second
after the brilliant but brief protector
ate of Cromwell, and like that rcstora-
ton is Il rcproach to tho civilization of
the age. In the South it may be said
that no known Union MAJ has been
appointed TO office. The Offices are
filled from the rebel ranks. No man
who acquicsccs in the results of the
war and honorably dcmand, II fair
ballot and fair count can be appointed
to office in the South. The rebels arc
in as absolute mastery in the South rs
they would have been if the Confcd-
cracy had succeeded.
" S'A''S'SJ t'S iliI' bitN u W.
tween the two parties is now rs dis
tinct as i; was during the war. but we
occupy Il different field OF battle. Then
we fought for the preservation Of the
Union, and, as a means tothat end, the
abolition Of slavery. Now that the Tn
ion is saved aud slavery abolished, we
fight for equal political rights for all
men and n faithful observance of the
Constitutional amendments. We arc
for the exercise of national authority
for the preservation of the rights con
icrrcd by the Constitution, and upon
this broad issue we invite ca operation
from the South rs well rs the North"
Rather more than Onc-lalf Of the
speech is given to discussion of the
issue between the two parties in terms
similar TO those employed in the eX-
tracts here quoted.

ID DAVID DAVIS.
His Responsibility for Military Rule In tho
Southern st ties.


A correspondent of the New York
Herdtd shows that Judge David Davis
is RESPONSIBLE for the military rule that
the South had to- endure in the Recon-
struction period. When the case of
McArdlc, of Mississippi, came before
the United States Supreme Court of
that district for Il writ Of huGeuS cor
pas TO discharge linn on the ground
that the Reconstruction laws under
which he was held were contrary to
the Constitution of the United States,
four Judges of the Supreme Court held
that the laws were constitutional and
live held that they were unconstitu-
tional. Judge Davis was for the un-
constitutionality of the laws. When
the morning came for the announce
ment of the decision it was proposed to
defer it for Il week. Judge DaviS's
vote carried the adjournment. In the
meantime Il bill was introduced into
Congress repeating the authority Of the
Supreme Court to hear appeals in
hodeds c0rDnS cases. 1t was rushed
through both houses and passed. 1t
was vetoed by President Johnson and
passed Owe his veto before the day
appointed for tho announcement of tho
decision. On that day the Supreme

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
The Territory Forming the Cause of Trou.
Bile between Spain and Germany.

(FiOm the 81. lanes Gazcttc.)
The Caroline Islands arc Il rcmarka-
bile group OF coral formations in the
Northern Pacific. They are, perhaps,
of no great strategic Importance, since
they lie ON the road to nowhere in
particular; but, from the point Of view
of the archmologist, they are interest
ing in the extreme. Certain Dutch
n%avigators, who visited them nearly n
generation ago, returned to Europe
with wonderful stories concerning the
gigantic ruins that had been discovered
N some Of the smaller i>lcis at the
eastern end of the archipelago, but it
was not until 1858 that ANYTHING APP
preaching TO Il systematic survey of
the group was undertaken. Ia that
year her Maicsly'S ship ESpiegle
touched ut many of the islands, and
those officers who went ashore found
that the magnificcncc of the re-
mains had not been exaggerated. The
most imposing ruins are ut Mctalamim
Ilarbor, in PonGpc, and at Chnbrol
labor, in kusaic, and IN idea of their
grandeur may he formed from the fact
that some of Tie stones of the build
ings measure rs much as t%hirtv-iive
feet long by twenty feet broad and
fifteen feet thick. They are ornament
cp with rude sculptures, which bear a
family resemblance to the well known
sculptures Of Easter Island, in the
Southern Pacific. Yet Easter Island
and the CarOlincs are fully 5000 miles
apart, and, so far as is discovcrablc,
there has been any communica-
ton between them. The object and
origin of the monuments arc alike UNI
known. 1t may be added that The
Caroline group, which was discovered
by Spain in 1920, has hitherto, even by
German gcographcrs, been regarded as
Il Spanish possession, although for
years there have been no Spanish resi-
dents ON any Of the islands. The cx-
tent of the land surface Of The group
is rather more than three 800 square
mile; and the estimated population is
about $4,000 souls, all of whom arc of
the Malay race.
