To Captain Mattox, one of the
Presidential Electors of Ohio, who
called on General Harrison on Tues
day, the President-elect said he had
never known = time in the history
OF the country when there was such
an unsightly scramble for Office.
aud that he keenly felt the arduous
task before him. He went on to
say, writes tie correspondent of the
New York Herald, that the men Of
influence who are asked to recon-
mend applicants for Office could
greatly assist and relieve him if they
would be less ready to indorse az
plicallts for position. He also said
that it was the duty Of the leading
Republicans who expect that their
Endorsements shall count for some
thing to come together, select GER
tain worthy men, but only one man
sfOr each position to be filled, and
recommend them and refuse all
others. 10 that way, he insisted,
h. would Be- abe to select men Of

A few grains of wheat or corn may be
scattered in lit ter, in order to induce
them to scratch, which will be beneficial
but grass may be fed freely. There is no
advantage in breaking an Asiatic from
sitting, but the best way to break her is
to place her on a grass plot or in a yard
and compel her to hunt for her soOd. A
box may be allowed her at night, which
should be removed during the day, unless
in damp weather. The object should be
to get her at work, and reduce heri flesh
If food is scarce in the yard, a few oats,
at night, may be given. If all breeds are
kept together, some of the hens will lay
while others will not, for the reasons
given above. 1t is best, then, to keep
only one breed, so as to give all the hens
the same management. 1t is one thing
to feed the small, active Leghorns, and
something different to manage the large,
indolent Brahmas and Cochins. If the
habits and characteristics of the several
breeds are carefully observed, the poul-
tryman will soon be able TO manage for
the best esults.-Poultry Keeper.

Selection of Stock Fowls.

cit has always been a pet theory of
mine," says JAS. Rankin in New England
Homestead, that only the very choicest,
either in the animal or vegetable king
dom, should be reserved for the reproduc-
ton of it's species. Especially is this the
case with poultry, where deterioration is
so great through natural causes.
"Many experienced poultry growers
to introduce foreign blood through a
change of cockerels at least every second
year, and every year would be better
Others still assert that by selection of
the choicest birds, even by constant in
breeding, the flock may be improved. A
series of careful experiments for the past
ten years has convinced me that the lat
ter opinion is correct.
'Of course it will be understood that
the frequent intermingling of blood will
be in inverse ratio to the number of fowls
kept. | carefully inspect every fowl of the
thousands raise, when killing, and when
ever find promising cockerel or drake
that has all the required points and is un-
usually vigorous, he is thrown into yard
by himself. The points of merit must be:
Short yellow legs, standing wide; plump,
heavy breast clear rcuthead, with a bright
eye and unusual vigor. This removes the
only Objectionable point in the Brahma
fowl, which [ think, taken all in all, are
best for market purposes and also for the
first winter layers.
'In the fall / sometimes havefrom sixty
to seventy-fve cockerels carefully selected
from many hundreds. These are again
examined and the number | require, some
thiry-fve or forty, are taken out. OF the

II inbred in this mannerfor six years in
succession, and my fowls increased in size,
vigor and in richness of plumage. My
Brahma pullets, at the end of the fourth

five months old, or as early as the Ply
mouth Rocks, so that with me inbreeding
has been a decided success.

PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE.

Advance sheets are issued of the
August number of the international
Magazine of Christian Science, COM
prising a very elaborate essay by A.
BENTLEY WORTHINGToN. sometimes
regretfully remembered in Dakota as
Gen. A. B. WARD. The paper was
prepared before the gentleman had oc-
casion to disappear; and in view of the
removal of his latest disguise, it will
serve as strong advertisement of the
magazine. He writes upon Marriage
and Divorce" from a high moral stand
point, and, as appears from the autobi-
Ography, he might write from the
depths of a remarkably Kaleidoscope
matrimonial experience. He deprecates,
among the saddening views of
society, the increase Of divorces
and the growing infrequency of
marriages. Some are ready to stig-
Matte him as a base hypocrite.
but he vindicates his fidelity to convic-
tons by his personal sacrifices and eX-
pOSure to imputatiOnS. He has dis
couraged divorces by never, or rarely
marriages by taking new wife every
time he changed his name, or approx
mately so, as he is credited with but
eight wives as yet, though he has had
dozen aliases. In tracing the steps
that lead married people to hypocrisy
and marital infidelity, he says, "Do
anything, but don't be discovered"
This has manifestly had first place on
his mental tablet, but it has been his
misfortune, not his intention, to be
found out. He has had new makeup
for each role, but jealous eyes have
penetrated it. However. he does not
refer to himself, but gives this vicious
motto as the social creed of the day:
"The sin that turks at the heart
of the world, that debauches So
ciety, and blunts those finer senses of
moral delicacy that are its hope and
protection" Mrs. PLUNKETT, the
Christian science wife, is said to be i'm
mensely pleased with this essay, as she
is with its author. She is Brevet Wife
No s. She knows that the moralist
means right, if he is a little peculiar in
his illustrations. The truth is, the pict-
ure drawn is more valuable from the
fact that the delineator paints from his
own life. He has clear conceptions of
moral relations, but lacks moral
strength. No one is more conscious
than he that he is doing violence to
every principle of rectitude or man
hood. The fact that he persists in row.
ing his boat among the social whlrl-
pools makes him more competent in
structor to Others: and when he de-
scribes the rocks and shoals, it may be
known that he is thoroughly familiar
with them. A hypOcrite may be an
effective preacher.

rHEIR OPPORTUNITY.

If it is true that twelve out of the six
teen Southern Republicans in the COM
ing congress will take decided stand
in favor Of the repeal of the internal
revenue laws, they may have very con-
siderable influence in shaping the policy
of the party in that matter. They are
not the sort of material to assert them
selves in opposition to the party ma
chine, but they may dictate the nomina
ton for speaker. One of the leading
candidates is named as favorable to
interested in tobacco, and to some eX-
tent illicit distillation, and there is local
feeling in favor of the removal of these
taxes. They will have support in other
sections from the extreme protective in
terests, as the cutting off Of this
source of revenue would not only
be a guaranty against any reduction of
the tariff, but probably require some
increase, as there would be considera-
able deficiency in place of surplus. 1t
is evident, however, to some of the dis
corning Republicans, that this policy
would be unpopular and likely to defeat
the party in many of the states. If the
July financial figures are significant,
there may be substantial elimination of
the surplus, with the aid of TANNER
and the other generous people in au-
thority. In any event, there will be
strong and vehement opposition in the
Republican party to the abolition of the
taxes on tobacco and whisky. There
should be no disposition with the
Democrats to obStruct the organ
ization of the house by the Re-
publican majority. Any attempt at par
tisan unfairness in the rules or deter
mining contests should be resisted in
lawful ways, but the Republicans have
possession of all the branches of the
government. and will be responsible for
administration and legislation. With
the issues presented and the constitu-
ton of congress, the most consummate
skill and tractable forces will not avert
action that will promote Democratic
opportunities next year. 1t would be
bad politics for the Democrats to organ
ize the house by the aid of Independent
Z publicans, If that were possible,
which it will not be. The presidents
are m Jst uniform in favor of the OPP
position securing the congress to To

THE RACE QUESTION.

The theory that there is not entire
freedom in the discussion of the race
problem in the South is probably only
held by extreme partiSans, remote from
the South. At the recent commence
ment of the South Carolina university,
one of the graduates presented the ques-
ton in way that dissipates any i'm
preston of constraint or lack of thought
full consideration. 1t was admitted that
the methods used to keep the political
control out of the hands of the ignorant
and incapable were not defensible on
the ground of principle, and must be
succeeded by full recognition of the po-
litical rights of the colored people, and
that the question how to effect this with
out peril to the interests of property
holders was one of the most difficult
now presented. The theory advanced
was that the offices must be divided be-
tween the races. South Carolina is a
good place for the discussion of race
questions.
