A correspondent of the Indiana Farm
er writes: What title experience have
had in Alslke clover has been entirely
satisfactory. For honey my bees pre-
fer Alsike clover to anything else while
1t is in bloom. My cows and horses
prefer Alsike clover hay to any other
for winter food. On September z |
went to see a n~eighbor, who knew was
pasturing some yearling steers on a
patch of Alsike clover, and when |
asked him how he liked it he remarked
that his calves ate the Alsike clover off
eyel with the ground, while the blue
grass grew to be knee high in the same
nastnre.

An interesting experiment, showing
the influence Of electricity on the growth
of roots, has been made in Germany
by Prof. Holdefleiss. Plates of copper
were thrust upright into the earth and
connected by wires with similarly
placed zine plates about one hundred
feet distant-an electric battery being
thus formed, with the earth between
the copper and zinc in the circuit. Both
potatoes and beets planted between
such plates gave IN increased yield

PURITY IN POLITICS.

1t is not altogether pleasing specta-
Gle. or one that holds up in a favorable
light our popular institutions, that the
President pro tenn. OF the senate should
leave his place in that body and so
home to lobby with State Legislature
, ior reelection.
Senator Sherman would not only be
very artless, but exceedingly green, il
he should expect to secure any kind Of
office in Ohio without working for it
we might say scheming for it-but
while he may be personally excusable
on that ground, it is nevertheless pain
full to know that American politics have
reached such low point.
Ohio, politically, is probably one o
the most corrupt States in the Union
and it would hardly be fair, on that &C
count, to take it as a sample OF the who'll
.cm,ntry, but it is still, in great degree
..-aDresentative. and its condition is in

for bis support.
The advent Of the millionaire Sena-
tor, is an i'll omen for America, but it is
the natural out-growth of the political
methods and habits into which the
country has fallen.
One great cause Of this state OF affairs,
is that the people no longer rule and
everything is manipulated by political
machines. The spoils system has Great
cd these machines and they are sup
ported by a shrewd and severe use Of
the party lash. The country has come
to be divided between two sets OF mer

The Nashville Union says: II our
dispatches from birmingham give a
correct account of the accident at Billy
flint river ON the Louisville & Nashville
road Friday night, the conduct OF I.
o. Harris deserves special mention.
The cold was intense, being only i
above zero. A part OF tho train went
through the bridge, leaving Conductor
Harris in one of the detached cars.
The thought at once. struck him that on
the otherside was train coming which
would evidently go down on top OF the
wreck, which was 100 feet below and
on fire. The excitement was intense.
How many were drowned or killed by
the falling bridge or train the survivors
did not know, and could give no relief
But the other train was coming lt'
time was up There could be no notice
given unless So re one could cross the
river. The bridge was down and there
was no water craft The terrible alter
native was presented to Harris OF seeing
a whole train go into the river with tn
loss of several lives, or risk his own lii
by undertaking to swim the river wit
the thermometer at zero. He accepts
the latter alternative and swan tn
river and gave the notice and saved th
train.

cots lately ordered by inconsiderste labor

THE TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bill that has beea 80 long nm
der consideration Of the Ways and Means
Committee win this week be presented to
Congress. Of course it is not yet definite
~ known what the real status Of the bill Is,
but enough has been said to give a pretty
good idea of it.
1t is expected that the bill viii make .
reduction Of $40, 100000 in the revenues
Of the Government. A part Of the bill Is
to be devoted to reform in the sdministra'
ton Of tariff laws. This feature will be
very acceptable to the whole people
Secretary MANNING says that more than
twenty per cent. of the duties that should
De collected are lost owing to the crude
way in which our tariff laws have to be i'd
mipistered. II is said the tariff on the
products of the iron industry and many
others will remain undisturbed such crJ
having gone up against reduction. NOR
sIsoN and his low tariff adherents seem
to have been badly worsted in the contest
and are trying to crawl out as easily al
possible.
The most that will be recommended, I
is thought, viii be the placing of wool, sal
and lumber on the free list and reduction
Of the duty on sugar. And right here
too, is where the fight will come in. Ia
pecially will such measure be unpopuls
among the woolgroWsrs Of the country
The msjority Of them were in favor o
having the tariff Of 1867 restored, and i
sesms to "a that their claims we're perfect
lly lust unless the tariff on manufacture
articles shoad be reduced to such an eS
tent that the Woolgrower can produce zoo
cheaper than at present. To remove to
little pSotsetion that wool has now, Will

The support of the wool.groWer and Of
aosks is kept up, means simply driving thi
industry to the wall, while the wool grow
ers of Austrslia will step in to receive tn
benefits.
But we think there is little danger Q
these disastrous phases Of Mr.. MORRISON
bill passing. Protests are coming up trsn
the North, South, East and West sgsins
it. There is prospect that Mr.. MORRISON
will be ingloriously defeated. and ths
more Difference than ever will be paid {
Mr.. RASDALL's tariff ideas
We fear that Mr.. MORRISON, in his yea
to carry out some of his ideas, has los
sight of that important plank in the Demo
cratic platform which says: The Democrat
ic party is pledged to revise the tariff in
spirit of fairness to all interests" The al
tempted revision seems to be in spirit q
unfairness rather than . spirit OF fan
ness" II would doubtless have been be-
ter for Mr.. MORRISON and the people if q
this useless csviling had been avoided.
