4 mic IL the Conneeticnt Courant

4 writer in the Connecticut Courant
says that if he were attempting to grow
tobacco for profit, at the last cultivation
and hoeng, he would SOW ten pounds of
crimson cloverse per acre. This would
sprout md form small weakly plants in
the shade Of the fast maturing crop.
When this crop was cut away in August
or early September, the,cloyer would have
full swing AMI make an enormous growth
before freezing in the fall, and in the
spring come to full maturity about the
middle Of May, aud furnish many tons of
organic matter rich in nitrogen, ready to
plow under in amp'e time to become de-
composed before the new crop Of plants
was ready to put out \ moderate appli-
catol ofphosphoric acid and potash, sup
plemented by this clover would produce
another fine crop of tobacco, in which
clover could again be sown as before.
Under this method the writer is satisfied
that the tobacco farmers could forever
continue 20 grow superb crops at fer
alizer expense not exceeding $40 per
acre, and the lands grow better annually.

The Voice Of PuDlic sentiment.

The election in the State Of Oregon.
it is true, was held some weeks ago, but
owing to the heavy foods and the diff
culhes surrounding the transportation of
news over that large and thinly populated
State, the exact figures Of Give vote eoald
not be readily obtained They arc
now in, however. aud as the news is
50 good, its stlleness. fsuch il might
be termed. will be overlooked aud the
announcement OF the Unprecedented VIC
tory read with delight The Democratic
party bad a following and the Populist'
have heretofore had many aud strong
and earnest supporters among the lead
ing citizens Of that State, bit judging
from the phenomenal ,0te cist aud she
one-aided result, it will appear to most
non partisan close observers that
the people Of that locality have awaken
ed to the fact that the success Of the
business interests Of the country de
ponds upon the perpetuation Of Repub-
lean principles and the success Of that
party. Demagogism will do to fool
the people sometimes, but a lesson gen
orally follows an etferyesceut flow Of such
deception, aud the people ara made to
observe the fallacy of their weakness
and credulity.
When the presidential election of 1892
was at hand, the country was prosperous
Capital found ready investment, labor
was employed at remunerative wages
The entire people were living at ease
and in comfort, but in listening o the
blatant and false theories of d9magogues
aud the erratic doctrines of cranks, a
change was demanded "a change was
had and wantaud misery followed, such
as has never been known siuce our PEG
pie became ia ion A memorable !, sson
has been learned from the desire for
change of governmental policies When
peace, prosperity and happiness prevailed
at the instance of plausible though
impracticable theorists and designing ex-
hoTters, for such is the proper term to
be applied to most Of the sclf.constitut-
ed guardians of the needs of the people
betrayed the latter into belief that
change would be beneficial \ change
has brought ruin to the country and the
people will not be leluded again,
and the first intimaton of the fact
comes from Oregon, where the two Re.
publican Congressman each were elected
by over 5000 majority. and the LegisIa-
ture almost exclusively Republican
A comparison of the political cast of
the new Legislature with that of the old
will best shos the extent of the evolu-
liaaa.s-Tho old Legislature stood "a, Re-
publieaus, % Democrats and Populists,
out of total of 90; the new stands II
Republicans, Q Democrats and 10 Pop
ulists'
The result Ct this election is the fore
cast of what is to follow The sane
sentiment perrading the far West
peradcs every section Of the country
with the possible exception Of some por-
tions Of the South. The change desired
is no longer wanted. Such a demand
has proven an expensive deIusion,
md the people, if the Oregon elections
mean anything, have decided to return
their fealty to the principles which have
best sub-servel their interests, and
heir support to the party possessed of
he capacity aud honesty to give effec
i've operation to them.

FREE LECTURE
Given by Rev. John C. Age

Given by Rev. John c. Ager.
A free lecture was given at Sons of Tenn
perance hall, Insurance building, by the
Rsv. John G. Ager of Brooklyn, n Y, on
1.-THE Philosophical Aspects of Sweden
borg's Doctrines of Correspondence" last
evening. The lecture WAS strikin2ly inter-
esting and edifying.
A large audience was present. The Iect-
ure in part was as follows: There are few
persons who are awars that Swedenborg
was philosopher as well as thsologian.
One of the leading doctrines which he ex-
pounded was that of correspondences, or
the relation existing between natural and
spiritusl things. The outward universe is
a reflection of the divine mind and thought.
Physical objects are reflections of spiritual
thoughts and activities. The spiritual and
physical are relative as substance and
shadow. The law of correspondence makes
nature . veritable book. This Law is recog-
nfzed by many modern writer's, notably
Emerson, Carlyle and Mrs Browning The
natural and spiritual worlds are counter
parts one of another. Correspondence was
the origin of mythology and the key to lite
interpretations. All the earlies religions
were symbolic. When the law of CORE
sponaence is applied to these earlier re-
1gions It explains their rights and cere-
monies. The doctrine of metempsy Ghosts
had its foundation in the science of CORE
spondences. Correspondence IL divine
language and, therefore, the word is writ
ten in this manner. The word Ii through
out 9 book Of parallels, every expression
being symbolic.
