In 1882, the off year. like the present, the
aggregate vote was 1873, AIS, divided as fol-
lows:
Republican, 72,4S1
Fusion, 63,921
Prohibition, 38I
Greepback, 1924
Indepepdent Republicans, 269
Scattering, l02
There is no reason for anticipating small
er vote than in 1882 so that the republicans
have ample margin on the general ticket.
The prohibition vote may be doubled. but
the labor vote does not look more promising
than the Greenback vote in 1884. Still it
must be borne in mind that it is an unknown
quantity. The Congressional pluralties in
1884 were:
First District, go
Second District. 5,7S9
Third District, 6,2l7
Fourth District, 5,57o
1t will be seen that the second, third and
fourth have ample margins. In the First
District strong effort will be made to elect
Clifford, but the great personal strength of
Reed, as leader of the House, will probably
tide him safely over.
The legislature in 1884 stood: Senate 81,
all republicans; House l5l, of which ll5
were republican. "a democratic, and green
back. The previous legislature stood: Sen
ate, republican; House, republican, ITO;
democratic 25, greenback l6, and
it may reasonably be expected
that the republicans will fall off as much
this year. 1t is generally accepted that Mr..
Hale will be returned to the Senate. The
only uncertain element in the election is the
labor movement, for although Gen. Neal
Dow has gone over from the republicans and
is endeavorng to smash that party, the con-
stancy of those veteran prohibition leaders
Governors Morrill,, Perham, Dingley aud
others will make the detection tritiing. But
the labor movement cannot be very strong,

and stood to the northward. Beaver Webb
was sailing the Galatea. He refused to tack,
so At 22, Capt. Stone brought the Boston
sloop around again. She was then over q
mile on the latter's weather beam. Two
minutes before going about, the Msyfower
took in her club topsail. She carried her
working topssil for an hour, when the wind
having lightened considerably, she set her
club topsail again.
Both yachts went about at 4.20, and stood
to the northwsrd. They were off Deal beach
at this time and the wind was growing lighter
every moment. The cutter tackled st 4.37
and made short board in shore, going about
again at 45. From here the race up the
New Jersey beach was a drift. As the May
flower slowly approached the finish the ex-
citement became intense among passengers
on the steamers. Great anxiety was felt that
the Maytlower would not finish in the limit
OF time, seven hours, but at this time the
breeze freshened, and, with only eight min
utes and twenty seconds to spare, the May
flower shot across the finish line. The
shouting, whistling and waving of handker-
chiefs lasted for fully ten minutes. She was
then towed to her anchorage off Bay Bridge
The Galates flashed 3lm lSs after the
Mayiower, and was towed up by the Luck
enbach. As she came to anchor the MAY
hower's crew gave her three rousing cheers
which the Englishmsn answered. The fol-
lowing table shows the record of the race:

IN WHICH LADY BEAUTY HAS E PORTRAIT
PAINTED IN PRINTERS INK.
[Shall I tell you why | nave written this
storyi 1t was because | met Sophia Temple,
then styled LADY Beauty, in her tifty-third
year; and her power to charm lat an age
when charms are commonly supposed to be
dead and gone led me to ask, What is this
woman's secret! Aud having searched into
her life and character, and noted her ways, 1
venture to offer this imperfect record of her
life, and this still more imperfect picture Of
herself, for the study of her sex generally. l
wish to convince women that it is O great
mistake on their part to suppose that their
power to please departs with youth. At all
times l have noticed that men of sense seldom
admire-or, if you like, grow enamored Of
women for beauty alone, but for character,
manner, taste and conversation. Now, while
beauty I'VE must admit lessons with time,
character, manner, taste and conversation
may each be refined and enriched; and these,
| believe, by their improvement can quite
compensate for the loss of personal charms.
Mere beauty is but one bright, u%nchanging
beam-it will grow even wearisome; but
wit, sense, courtesy and humanity are forever
casting lOrlh new anu Unexpected rays anu
e%nlivening intercourse with agreeable sur
prises. And so the story Of Lady Beauty is
written as a humble attempt to encourage
women to try to be charming to their latest
day. For they can do it if they try.l
Sophia was without question far inferior in
physical beauty to Sibyl, and | think most
people would have said that she was not so
handsome as Caroline. Her features were
regular, hernose straight and fine, her COM
plexion delicate and rosy; but still, in her
face she was no model Of womanhood. Her
expression-and what is expression but char
acter fixed in the northumberland Sophia
what she was. Her delicate upper lip, with
the hint of firmness in its fine line, told Of
resolution; the soft hazel eyes, with their up.

Rourh Feed vance.

All domestic animals need rough feed or
''stover" mixed along with the fine food,
hogs as well as the rest In the case Of the
Eliminating animals, II Is doubtful If grain
or meal fed alone goes to the first stomach
at all A large majority Of the experiments
made to determine this point clearly show
that fine foods do not, to any material extent
go to the first stomach when fed to cattle
alone; and if food does not go to the first
stomach it can be only very imperfectly
digested, since it escapes the macerating
process Of the rumen, and being remasticated
and mixed with the saliva. How true this
is every large feeder OF cattle, in the
west at least, must know. A large
proportion of the kernels Of corn
eaten by the animals is found IN
their droppings, some whole, others broken,
but all indigested. If they had passed into
the first stomach they would have been
raised and remasticated, and certainly would
not have escaped this process scarcely
broken. 50 it Is when meal is fed. It passes
into the third and fourth stomachs, a mass
of dough into which the gastric juices cam
not penetrate. 1t is true that the muscular
contractions of the stomach will give q
gentle motion to the dough; but this will
make it more compact rather than Of a char
acter that the gastric juice can operate
freely upon it. Il, however, we mix this
meal with cut straw or hay the mixture will
20 to the first stomach, and viii, Of course,
be remasticated; while the bits Of straw or
hay will allow the gastric juice to circulate
through the mass and insure complete
digestion.

CHAPTER VII.

Prendergast, who resided not far from Ket-
tlewell, had occasional opportunities of meet
ing the Temples; and it had been the little
mothers expectation that he might renew
his suit, and, perhaps. after a time, draw
Sophia's affections to himself. He made no
sign, however; and for long enough it seemed
as if our heroine was to have no further
trouble from mankind. But at last--at the
end of the five years after Percival's depart

The greatest difference has been made In
the bull by the half century Of breeding for
form and color. The butchers of our time
use bad words over the visible admixture of
Jersey blood in beef cattle. This is because
the Jerseys are small and slim. The por-
trait of the bull of fifty years ago shows that
he was a better beef animal than his slim
shanked successor of to-day. Observe the
depth of brisket and shoulder. The fashion
able developers have been breeding the meat
off instead of on the Jerseys. Now that the
current is setting another way, perhaps

German KaInit.

In the south and New England especially,
where commercial fertilizers must be so gem
orally used, anything that will give the
much needed potash will be of unusual
value. Quite a number know that German
kainit is the desideratum, but this knowledge
is not possessed by the great mass who stand
in need of it.
German kainit is a natural product dug
from the earth-in Germany, as its name in
dicates. 1t can be easily and cheaply mined
and prepared for market, and those in a po-
sition to know say that it can be put in our
Atlantic seaports at a cost Of not above IS
per ton. The supply Is considered mex
haustible. The chemical composition OF
kainit is: Sulphate Of potash, 81; sulphate
of magnesia, -; chloride of magnesia, II;
chloride Of sodium, 50; moisture, IA; insolu-
BILE, 2.
1t Is at once apparent that kainit would be
a most valuable constituent of a mixture Of
fertilizers for many Of our farm and garden
crops. 1t is an established fact that while
clover contains a larger amount Of nitrogen
than almost any other crop grown on the
farm, 1t does not seem to need heterogeneous
manures Potash and lime are the elements
it most needs It is vel known that the
best way in which to supply the lime is by
applying gypsum; and can there be any
doubt that the most feasible means Of pro
viding the potash is afforded by German
kainitl Potatoes are another crop frequently
greatly benefited by a provision Of potash;
and where commercial fertilizers only arr
used on this crop, it is reasonably certain
that kainit should be one Of them.
The composition Of a complete economical
manure for cotton IS an important problem
as commercial manures must at present, AZ
least, be relied on altogether to make profit
