TILDEN AND CLEVELAND,

Why Mr.. Randall Has Been Slaughtered
by the President.
When Mr.. Tilden was alive he was
the real leader of Democratic opinion.
He impressed his views on Mr.. Randall,
Mr.. Converse and other Democratic
leaders, and they are embodied in the
tariff plank of the platform Of four
years ago. Because Mr.. Cleveland has
made q wide departure from that plat
form aud the views OF MIR. Tilden, MT.
Converse has decided to support Har-
rison and protection on the stump and
at the polls.
The sole excuse for Mr.. Clevelahd's
departure from the attitude of Tilden
Democracy is the alleged menace of
the surplus revenue. But Mr.. Tilden
foresaw this issue and put his views on
record. To show the wide divergence
of the Tilden and the Cleveland De-
mocracy it is only necessary to COM
pare the following quotations:

The Grief Of a Cowboy Dog.

Wilson by name, recently paid visit
to San Francisco, saws the New ork

would have delighted the heart OF the
authur of "Sartor Resartus." For the
animal haunts a real Carlylean contempt
FOR the fripperies of civilization and the
useless adornment OF clothes.

board with a dog fancisr in canine
boarding house. and then went 10 a
clothing store and exchanged his cow
boys rig for new clothes OF the latest
cut. The next day he called on Mug

petted him, and made every effort to
make him understand that affection
was not changed, even though clothes
had been. The dog looked up at the
silk hat which had taken the place of
the broadbrimmed slouch to which he
had been accustomed, snIffe6 at the
duGe-liks cane, and surveyed the light
trousers from several points of view,
and then walked off TO the corner of the
room, layed down, and gave a long,
mournful howl. Mr.. Wilson tried TO
coax him out of the corner, but could
not. Nugget would lock up at him
with knowing expression in his eye,
and occasionally give the feebest little
wsg to the end of his tail, but he could
not Oe induced to reconsider his evident
determination not 20 recognize his mass

that.

he was too tight-fsted to give her any,

to turn it Into money. This he refused
to do. but .old her she might have all
the potatoes she could dig with q hoe
in one day. Early the next morning
she appeared, hoe in hand. Ii was a
good year for potatoes, and the price
was high. The farm hancs were in
her interest if the farmer was not.
They tod her where the potatoes turned
out the best. She did such a good bus
iness that the farmer wanted her to
stop. and at noon offered her $40 to quit.
But she did not propose to quit, but held
him 10 his promise. She worked on till
she had dug twenty-six bushels making

under the attack of the mosquitoes that
they broke from their stalls, jumped in

Passengers intending to make the voy-

The Turnlp Crop.

July is the period for putting in the
turnip crop, and new crop seed should
be used. The seed being small it is i'm.
portant that the soil be in the finest posi-
BILE condition, not a clod or lump to be
allowed. The ground (as was recon-
mended previously should have been
plowed aud frequently cultivated be-
fore now, in order to allow weed and
grass seed 20 germinate, thereby rid
ding the field OF these nuisances before
planting. The crop is especially a
summer crop, aud natures quickly. II
can be grown on land formerly occupied
by early potatoes or green peas, which
is an advantage, the cultivation of
the previous crops cleaning the
land for the turnips. For a general
croD the rutabagas are preferred, as they
keep we'll in winter and yield largely:
The seed should not go In until the
ground is moist, and half inch covering
is sufficient. The rows should be care
fully laid off, and as straight as possible,
in order TO permit of the use of the
horse-hoe after the plants are well up.
The better mode OF putting in the seed
is tn use a seed planter, as they ara now
constructed to open the rows, drop the
seed az intervals, cover them, and then
slightly press the earth on the seeds with
small roller. It also marks off the
next row. by this plan it is only ne
cessary to use the marking line for the
drst row. Use plenty of seed, as the fly
readily attacks the young plants. n
liberal use of the wood ashes along the
rows it is said to be protection. but it
is better to rely on the use OF more seed
than is really necessary, as the surplus
plants can be easily removed If too thick
methods of putting in the seed. One is
to SOW the seed thickly in the row, and
after they appear, TO thin the plants
out by chopping spaces between the
stools required, and the other is to drop
the seed in stools at distances sufficient
TO allow of the use of the hoe. The
latter mode is preferable, as the work
can be done with the seed planter. In
either case the hoe must be used. If
the land be rich, 600 bushels of turnips
can be produced, and, considering the
late season OF production the crop and
the keeping qualities of the bulbs, no
root crop is grown at less cost OF is of
more value as stock food on proportion
to yield of crop. Turnips are not, re-
garded as a nutritious diet in winter
compared with other foods, but they
serve the place of green and succulent
material, and can be grown on all Farms.
Used in connection with grain they are
better than grain alone, and the health
and conition of all classes of stock will
be largely promoted by their use In
winter.

A Chinese Farmhouse.

A Chinese farmhouse is a curious
looking abode. Usually it is sheltered
with groves of feathery bamboo and
thick-spreadiDg banyans.-Ihe walls
are of clay or wood. and the interior of
the house consists of one main room ex-
tending from one floor to the tiled roof.
with closet looking apartments in the
corners for sleeping rooms. There is
a sliding window on the roof made
out of cut oyster shells arranged in rows
while the side windows are mere wood
en- shutters. The floor is the bare earth.
where at nightfall there often gathers
together miscellaneous family of dirty
children, fowls, ducks, pigeons and a
litter of pigs all living together in de-
lightful harmony. In some districts
infested by marauding bands houses are
strongly fortified with high walls con-
tanning appertures for fire arms, and
protected by moat. crossed by rude
drawbridge.
