agricultural schedules will not blind
them nor compensate for the heavy du-
ties imposed upon articles of necessity
which the farmers use, or for the further
loss of our foreign trade. Tho farmers
are gradually realizing the effect Of the
runous war tariff upon them. They are
the principal sufferers. for they do not
receive q particle of protection. Every
thing they use is heavily taxed. bat the
produce Of their labor must compete
without protection iu the marketsof the
world.
The proposed duties on farm products
would only have the effect of provoking
retaliatory legislation from other COM
tries. thus shutting out farmers from
markets where they now dispose of their
surplus products. such sop will not
deceive thc farmers, for they can read
ny understand what disastrous con-
sequences would follow the adop-
zion of such duties. The Rcpubli-
cam, have good reason to- Doe alarm
cd at the progress of tine political
revolution iu their Western strongholds.
They know that they are losing ground
everywhere aud that hypocritiea. ass

of stones is laid, about twelve by six feet
in size, or, better still, hole Vi like
dimensions is.dpg and stones are laid on
the bottom a.sUut two feet of well dried
wood is piled on the stones, lighted, and
allowed to burn until reduced to small
Goals this takes about an hour the Goals
and ashes are then swept off, and the
stones covered with one or two feet of
hard or soft clans; on top of the CLANS
are placed similar layers of corn in the
inner husk, well washed, sweet and white
potatoes, crabs or Holsters, chickens and
fish dressed and wrapped in clean cloths,
oysters in the shell, which have been
literally dashed with water, and some
times last layer of boiled tripe. On
the top of the whole sail cloth or canvas
cover is laid, and over that a foot of sea-
weed or eelgrass is spread, and the mass
OF savory edibles is allowed to steam for
an hour. The clam bake is then ready
for serving; and the eater who failed to
be content with the feast would certainly
be unreasonable. During the late sum

held along the shores of New England
and Long Island, the favorite resort being
Rocky Point, on Narragansett Bay, whose
denizens claim to follow the primitive
Indian fashion of clam baking.-

A Sympathetic Conductor.

It was q little incident, but the

people. A lady, in boarding Northern

looking men who jostled her in the door.
way OF the car. She was bound for
Michigan, and the thieves hadn't left her
even cent Her ticket was drawn ont
with her purse, but it fell to the floor
and some one picked it up and gave il to
the conductor. That individual had a
iog-horn voice, piercing eye, and
altogether his general appearance wac
uninviting and betokened little svmnas
thy, so the passengers thought, but thew
were mistaken. NY
AS soon as he found the distressed ladv
on went his cap, and, chipping in hali,
dollar himself, he announced to the mas.
sengers that tho lady had been robbed
and ne asked for contributions. Every
one responded, and when he came haai
