Greenville Bulletin The distin-
guished Ohioan has shown a fondness
for solving financial puzzles and a
measure of ability much above that
of the average Senator. But he is
either bad arithmetician or naughty
story teller. The entire voting popu-
lation of the country is between
twelve and thirteen millions, accord
ing to the last census. OF these the
total vote cast for the President of the
United States last November was
10,052, 7O6. With these facts known
to him, Mr.. Sherman, during the
canvass in his State, made bold to
assert before intelligentaudiences the
Southern Democrats deprived the
Republican party Of 6,0O0,O 900 Of votes
among the colored voters of the
South-Or more than one-half of all
the votes that were cast.

Rotation.

Nature sets the example of rotation,
and it should be initiated by man.
If a piece of ground is stripped of its
timber, it first sends up a crop Of
what is termed temporary growth,
consisting of locusts, pine, or others.
When this disappears it is succeeded
by Others, and finally fOllowedby the
common growth Of the country, such
as oak, etc. This indicates to man
the proper methods of outstanding ma
lures resources. She sends forth one
crop, which is followed by others in
regular rotation. So with crops. No
piece of ground, however fertile, can
retain its pristine fertility producing
year after year the same crop. The
nutritive principle peculiar to that
product is soon exhausted and the
land fails to pay for cultivation. But
change annually, and the soil rested
from that crop has time to recuperate
and recover its strength. Bya proper
system of rotation land may thus be
kept to its full strength always.

A Beautiful Woman.

A woman with pleasant smile,

a woman is not the victim of debility

come these pests by using Browns

Any person, however ill informed,
might easily get at the exact height
of a tree when the sun shines, or du-
ring bright moonlight, by making
two lines on the ground, three feet
apart, and then placing in the
ground on the line nearest the sun a
stick that shall stand exactly three
feet high. When the end of the
shadow of the stick exactly touches
the furthermost line then also the
shadow Of the tree will be exactly in
length the same measurement of its
height. OF course, in such a case,
the sun will be at an angle Of 450.
Measurements of this character could
be best effected in the summer, when
the sun is powerful, has reached to q
good height in the heavens and when
the trees are clothed with living
green, so as to cast a dense shadow.

The Horse Case

The case of the man who was ar
rested for stealing horses from
Sweeny's ranch, will come up before
Justice Gaige this morning at 10
o'clock. 1t is curious case and
full Of complications, Thomas the
defendant claims that he took the
horses through the ADVICE of his
attorney, James Stevens. The COM
plainant is man named Gray, the
son-in-law of Thomas. Gray says
that Thomas stole his horses and
took them to Oregon where he went
and recovered them. Thomas says
that Gray stole them from him.
while outsiders say that Gray made
them over to Thomas to defraud his
creditors. All in all it promises to
be case of a great many compli-
cations.
