notice, through your columns, the converting
Of the East Arlington Farmers Association,
on Thursday last, at the residence of George
Hutchins. Mr.. Huichins' small farm, heavy
soil, consisting of black, mucky loan, pro
duces more than many large farms. His
stock and crops show him to be good man
ager, and he manifests his good judgment by
keeping good stock and keeping it well. He
has the best flock of sheep-about fifty in
number-in this neighborhood. He uses a
Shropshire Down ram. In this many would
not agree with him, but his sheep are fine,
and, at the present price of wool, it may be a
good plan. Time will tell. After viewing
the stock, We proceeded to the house, where
dinner, prepared by Mrs. H., was in waiting.
Allowing US to be the judge, and we believe
all the members will agree with US, indoors
duties at the Hutchins House, are no less ably
attended TO than are outdoors matters. The
meeting was called to order at two o'clock
p. m. Election of officers was first in order,
after which, we listened TO reports on diff
ferent kind of crops. Vim. Wallace brought
a specimen of potatoes, large but not as
smooth and even az We would prefer. de
gave an account of his method of cultivation,
etc. The meeting was well entertained until
four o'clock, when an adjournment was had.
The next quarterly meeting will be held at
the residence of Mr.. M. Sanborn, on the I'd
Thursday In March. G. q. NASH, Sec.

he would vote for the restoration of such
tariff, and the people desiring to give him an
opportunity 20 redeem his promise, ordered
him to go up 20 the halls of the National

duce bill for the restoration of the wool
tariff and will use his best endeavors TO push
1t through. The democratic free trade House

of interest, and those who oppose it will not

IN future elections, and will be very apt to
be elected, as was Mr.. Yaple, TO stay at home.

HoN. b. Gratz Brown of Missouri, died on
the 18th inst, after brief illness. He was
90 years old. Mr.. Brown had acquired n
National reputation. He made the first
emancipation speech ever delivered in the
Missouri legislature, served with distinction

governor of Missouri, and was candidate
for the vice-presidency on the ticket with
Horace Greeley. His funeral was held on
the 18th at Kirkwood, his home, near st.
Louis. His death adds one more TO the list
of distinguished dead for 1885.

The DEMOCRATIC supreme court of Ohio
could always be safely relied on to assist in
carrying out any nefarious political scheme
to advance the interests of the democratic
party. The latest and most corrupt decision
OF that court, reverses the decision of the
circuit court in the case of the notorious
Cincinnati election frauds, and will give
certificates of election to the democratic
Legislative delegation from that city. Few
states have ever been cursed with such an I'M
scrupulous, partisan court as has disgraced
the supreme bench of the Buckeye state.

The bonds the National banking system must

SESAToE INGALLS, has introduced a bill
relative to pensions which, if passed, will be
of great benefit to many disabled soldier.
The bill provides. that il shall not be neces-
sary for an applicant for a pension TO prove
that he was an able bodied man when be en-
tered the service. The government sub
jected all its soldiers TO rigid physical ex-
animation before accepting their services
such examinations being conducted by com
potent surgeons appointed expressly for that
purpose. and the fact that man passed such
examination and was mustered into the army
should be conclusive proof against the gov
eminent, that he was physically sound at
the time of enlistment. There are thousands
of soldiers who are suffering from the effects
of implired health caused by the hardships
suffered by them while in the service, but
who cannot obtain the pensions to which
they are entitled, because il is impossible for
them TO prove by competent medical testi-
mony that they we're sound men when they
entered the service, az they are now required
TO do. In many instances, physicians and
surgeons who could, if living, furnish the
required testimony, are long since dead,
and even il the surgeon who passed
them is living. he cannot make the requisite
afB lavit, because the circumstances have
passed entirely from his memory, although
he is morally Ger 81 that he never passed an
unsound or disabled man. Wetrust that the
bill may receive the favorable consideration
il merits.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer accuses Secretary
Bayard of gross blundering in his diplo-
matte appointments. He says "hlue
blood and Southern afiIiation" have
weighed with Bayard more than any
thing else. Four-ffths of his appoint
ments have been made from Southern
States, and he has "reinstated men who
live almost in reminiscence and who
have been forgotten by the Democratic
party" His consular appointments have
been mainly of the same character and
the correspondent takes particular care
to say that so far as politics is concern :
ed, MIR. Bayard is simply throwing away
the patronage of his department.

blandly calls him 'an inferior" Mr..
Williams is author of "The History of
the Negro Race in America" an exten-
sive work in two volumes published by
G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1888. and having
much historical value. This is higher
literary excellence than can be demon
strated for any of the new Ministers or
Consuls. Butt Mr.. Williams is black
no, colored only. He has never ascl ibed
mil desperandum" to Cicero instead of
to Horace. He does not pronounce Cic-
ero with big K. and he does spell Ma
tiOn with big n. He fought in the
Union army, which is more than can be
said for any of Mr.. Bayard's friends who
are to go abroad Mr.. Williams may be
"a bad man," but Mr.. Bayard'S trouble
about him can be read between these
lines without much trouble. One thing
is certain. His appointment was not a
boorish insult to Hayti, as Keiley's was
to Italy.-N. Y. Tribune.
