THE affinity between the negro and the mule has long been fact tacitly recognized and acknowledged, but we have never seen any scientific explana- ton of the phenomenon. What strange, unknown property in nature is 1t that draws together in mutual admiration and regard beings so unlike in form and semblanoe? The eternal fitness of things" was never more forcibly exemplified than when these two were brought from remote parts of the earth to blend their lonely and separated lives in one grand and harmonious whole in the cotton fields of the South. What secret magnetic influence was it which acted thus powerfully-over- coming mountains, seas, wars and shipwrecks until success was finally achieved and this union effected? To all students of the mysterious in sci ence and nature we commend this problem, assuring them of rich re- ward of glory upon it's successful solu- tion.

SINCE the resumption of specie pay ment in 1879 the republican party has been without platform or programme. wber-like, they are always waiting tor something to turn up. Their principles have been but promises, hardly carried far enough, however, to be broken. But the end of the row has been reached at last, now that they know that the people of this country will insist on parties, as well as indi- viduals, fulfilling their promises. The bloody shirt harangues, moth-eaten flag threats, Southern outrages and flair countn racket will work no longer. The manly stand made by President Cleveland on the tariff ques- tion and it's reception by the people has convinced them that something has turned up, and, in keeping with the time-honored custom of that party they are about to pronounce plat form of tariff reform differing but lit tic from that of Cleveland's. With Blaine and his protection ideas as their standard-bearer, we are anxious to get glimpse at this tariff bill they propose to substitute. One warranted to suit all ages, sexes or previous condi- ton of servitude, perhaps?

AGRICULTURAL LETTER.
From the Arkansas Industrial Uni
 versity,
Influence of Food on Msnures.


 Everything goes to show how very intimately the question of preparing manure is connected with that of cattle feeding. On every farm there must evidently be some one particular style of feeding which shall give the best possible economic results for that farm. Under these conditions the farmers aim is to obtain i'll the dung and urine of his animals the largest possible quantity of manure of the best quality. Amongst the most successful farmers it has been the custom to buy feTtiliz ing matters indirectly, l. e.. in the form of concentrated folders of one kind or another which are used at the farm to fatten cattle whose manure is employed to enrich the farm.
 As rule the farmer, both in buying and selling cattle food, should take a note of the value of the fertilizing ma terials which are contained in it. For example there are found in one ton of various foods the following amounts of fertilizing substances in pOundsl:
 Red clover hay-Potssh, 40; phospho- ric acid, r.; nitrogen. 42; value, S6.60.
 Dry corn fodder-Potash, 34; phos- phoric acid, $; nitrogen, 10; value, s. .93.
 Wheat straw-Potash, 10; phospho- ric acid, f; nitrogen, 6, value, Sl.63.
 Oats-Potash, s; phosphorlc aeld, II; nitrogen, 10; value, Sf.9l.
 Corn-P0tash, '; phosphoric acid, Il: nitrogen. B; value, S407.
 Cotton seed meal-Potash, A, phos- phoric acid, 59; nitrogen, 40; value, Sl8.39.
 Wheat Potash, 27; phosphofic acid, 5s: nitrogen, A.; value, SS.52.
 In estimating the value of these fod- ders the pound of potash is assumed to be worth four and half cents, the pound of phosphoric acid live cents, and the pound of nitrogen ten centss which is rather low in certain cases, as in cotton seed meal and in bran. Perhaps fifteen cents would be fair estimate in these two instances. Still the cost of handling the heavy dung diminishes the value of it's constituents as compared with those contained m concentrated commercial fertilizers. There are several countries where liauid manures are esteemed superior to all others. In some parts of switzer- land. in Holland, and particularly in Belgium liquid manure IS used freely. Mir Jenkins has argued, with much truth. that the chief reason why 80 much trouble is taken by the Belgian farmer to save every pat.cle of hquld manure. and why so much time was spent in its management is simply that inc small farmer has an excessive dis ike to brying anything Aistsking

Probably no one thing has caused such general revival of trade at c. F. BintOn's drug store as their giving away to their customers SD many free trial bottles of Dr. Kings New Dis coyery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valu- able article from the fact that it always cures and never dissppoints.

THE republican press will attempt to turn the world over on the fair count" in the South during the presidential canvass. Correspondents are being already scattered through the entire South, to write down and send lies to their bosses. Our fatherly advice to these CUTS is to the effect that it will be healthier for them, personally, to put in an occasional truth. A stitch in time saves nine,n as the boy said when he fell off the calf instead of waiting to be thrown off.

quantity for quality, his argument is, "The more manure I can make, the less guano I shall need buy" and in view of this fact he rather courts than Fepels the rain on his dung heap. But it is none the less true that liquid ma nure properly diluted has a certain ad- vantage over guano, in that there is no danger Of the crops being burned by it as they might be by guano, in ease the land were to become dry soon after the application of the fertilizer.

PROTECTION.

Anarchy is foreign importation in this country, an exotic, every cell and fibre of which is filled with deadly poison. Its home is in Europe, whose people are crowded in numbers and pr ,fessions and avocations are filled to repletion, and nearly everybody, no matter how poor, is educated. Anarchy is simply the outgrowth of the poor against the rich, because in these old countries it takes constant labor and close economy to keep the wolf of hun ger from the door. The educated cranks and constitutional growlers find fault with the government and with society. Everything, to their dis torted vision, seems wrong. If man chances to be rich by inheritance, by superior talents in using his chances in life. he is called thief, having stolen his wealth. They seek leyeling of things-a general divide out, and because government will not yield, nor society submit to it, they cry Down with the government v and say it only fosters the rich and is down upon the poor. Then they call society rot ten and full of plague spots, or the material goods of life would be more generalized among the masses, and as a remedy they plot treason against the government and hostility to the people in their associated capacity. The an- srchists go upon the principle that the civilized world is all wrong, and that their doctrines doctrines of rapine and murderl would purify society and make all happy. What an ideal Just so long as we have our original natures good and bad will prevail. Some men and women are better by nature than others. and some are worse, but the conception that by legislation, whether State or municipal, poor people could become rich and happy is violation of all law, human and divine. When 1t is known that all of these leading an archists are inidelS, IL terialists and atheists, their principles, if they be enforced, would lead to the most exc crable anarchy-a state or condition of society that turns men and women into demons-the strong proving upon the weak until the last vestige of virtue would be swept from the earth and a living hell introduced amongst her demoralized and damented people.
 The native American wants home, and loves it when he gets it, and will fight for it to the death, for it is bis castle by law, and in it he is, or should be, safe from intrusion from any quar- ter, unless pursued for crime. Away with anarchy A curse to any land when in tue ascendant, and is worse than any curse that fell upon ancient Egypt in the days of Moses. Our na- tive Americans and all good foreign citizens should stamp it out of exist ence, as they would the adder that misses under their feet. And in the cry for protection let the political powers of this land insert a plank in their platform protecting us from this dangerous element.

IT will take about two or three years longer to get some sense beaten into the heads of some of the so-called workingmen of this country. Every organization seems now to think that a strike is absolutely necessary at some time for it's maintenance, and, having a bum" element in all labor organize tions, they will continue to strike until they are all forced up to the hungry page. After this prices will adjust themselves, and with rare exceptions the laborer will receive as much, if not more, than he is worth. It Is not nece.- sary for the laborer to concede every thing. Not at all.
