saw It," Whatever may be true of domes-
ticated horses, the wild horse Of the South
American pampas possesses most acute
and farreaching sense of smell.
Mr. Hudson speaks of IL as a common
occurrence for the horses of q district In
seasons of drought TO migrate suddenly to
some distant place, 90 miles away perhaps,
where rain has fallen. A slight breeze
from that quarter is enough to set them
off.
A still more striking phenomenon is, he
says, familiar to every frontiersman.
The gaucho horse has the greatest terror
OF an Indian invasion, and long before the
marauders reach the settlement--often
when they are still a full days journey
from it--all tho horses take the alarm and
come flying wildly In. The horned cattlo
quickly feel the contagion, and general
stampede ensues.
The gauchos declare that the horses
smell tho Indians, and Mr.. Hudson be-
lieves they are right. When passing n dis.
tant Indian camp, from which the wind
blew, oil the horses driven bofore him have
taken fright and run away.--Youth's

ONLY ONE ISSUE.

The Haverhill Gazette has few
words to say to the Republicans in
Massachusetts, and it says them with a
bluntness that leaves nothing to be
imagined.
There has been more or less talk
about outside issues being allowed to
dictate nominations and candidates in
the Bay State this year, and while THE
NEWS has commented upon these
rumors it has not seen reason to believe
that such a condition will be permitted
this year.
The Gazette, however, does not pro-
pose to allow such an event to come 70
pass for the lack of warning. Hence it
says: "The time is rapidly approaching
when the caucuses called by the Repub-
lican city committee for the purpose of
choosing delegates to the several con-
ventions are to be held. Upon the
shoulders of Ievery man who wishes
free expression of opinion rests great
responsibility. That responsibility
should be met, not in a spirit of narrow
partisanship, not with view to reveng-
ing fancied grievances, but with an hon
est desire to do the best thing possible, 10
the end that Republican principles may
triumph at the polls next November.
Not for 20 years has the issue been so
sharply drawn. The question to be de-
cided is as to whether. Massachusetts
shall array herself squarely on the side
of protection or whether body of indi-
viduals, many of whom are unquestion-
ably sincere, are to be permitted to
swing her from her moorings."
There is but one issue, protection or
free trade, and the Republican party
cannot be allowed to take up with out
side and questionable issues. Ii it does
it deserves worse defeat than overlook
the Democracy in Maine last Monday.

AT LOUISVILLE.
The Next Encampment to Be
Held in the South.

PrrrsBURG, Sept. l3.--After the read
ing of reports, appointments Of COM
mittees, ETC., the fixing Of the
place for holding the next encampment
was taken up, and Louisville was selected
by an unanimous rising vote.
The nominations for commander -in-chief
were then taken up, and the names Of
Iiessrs. 4. n. Walker OF Indiana and Law
yer OF Illinois were presented. Nomina-
tions were closed and the convention ad-
journed until today.
The friends of each OF the cam
didates for commander in chief claim
to have enough votes pledged to
elect their men and have regularly organ
lied campaign committees working hard
for votes.
No point Is left uncovered. AS there are
but two candidates. the canvass is all the
more vigorous. The Walker men last
night revised the returns, and claimed
that they had majority of 1873.
BY custom, the state I'm which the en-
campment Is held Is given the national
senior vice ccmmander-in-chief.. A. p.
Burchfleld of Allegheny City will have no
opposition for the position.
The ladies' campaign Is going on with
unabated energy, but no figures can be
given.
For the ladies of the Grand Army presi-
dency Mrs. Linehart os this city seems to
be In the lead. Mrs. Gerwig OF Allegheny
Is In the fight to stay, and expresses her
self satisfied with the way things are GO
ing. Mrs Gunler of Chicago and Mrs
Riggs of Ohio are still fighting, though
the latter can scarcely be considered
possible winner. The fight is really be-
tween Mrs. Gunler and Mrs. Linehart.
The contests In the Women's Relief
corps has narrowed down to Miss Emma
H. Wallace of Chicago and Mrs. Jennie
Meyerhoff of Evansville, Ind. with chances
about even. The Daughters of Veterans
have nominated Mrs. Walker Of Boston,

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
Denying Investigation.
Boston Herald.


Whether an Investigation by an English
committee into the question of Southern
lynching would have any corrective value II
undertaken is matter open 10 doubt; hut II
Is curious that in the opinions on this subject
expressed by the Governors OF Southern states,
Governor Tillman. the PopuIist Governor
of South Carolina, is the only chief
magistrate who exhibits any degree of
discretion or possibly of ordinary common
sense. When asked what he thought of the
proposed investigation he said he should be
pleased TO afford every facility for the pur-
pose OF enabling the investigating gentlemen
to get at facts. His associates in the ad-
ministration of the commonwealth OF
the south fy into uncaled for passion
AT the mere suggestion of such proceeding
exhibiting in this way consciousness of guilt
There are. no doubt number of abuses
political. social and legal. existing in England
that would bear correction; but IL must be
said to the credit of many Of our English
cousins that they have always pro-
tested against abuses and injustices
practiced upon the colored people, and this
without regard to whether the perpetrator
was an Englishman or foreigner. When
arbitrary and seemingly cruel acts are CON-
mitted by Englishmen. as for instance In the
case of the suppression Of the incipient insur.
rection at the island of Jamaica by Gov
ernor Eyre, or In the case of the de-
struction OF negroes in southern or central
Africa, protests have been made by large and
influential part Of the English people which in
not few Instances have been effective in
securing the punishment OF the Offend
ing persons. Outside OF their country
the English have been equally out
spoken in condemnation Of what they have
considered race cruelty. the French and the
Russians, as Well as ourselves. coming In from
time to time for denunciation at meetings at
Exter Hall and elsewhere. Ii is only COM
fsfef- Justice to- ststc-thut for Quite
while the anti-slavery movement in
this country received large part OF its
support from England. Now, either the ac-
cusations that are made against the white
people of the South of brutally lynching
negroes are true or they are false: and when
one takes into account how reckless the judg-
ment and action of a ferocious mob is apt
to be one is justified in believing that il
must not infrequently have happened that
entirely innocent, persons have been put to
death because the opportunity has not been
accorded them of proving their guiltessness.
The suggested Investigation is to be carried on
merely for the purpose OF bringing the
light of publicity to bear upon this sub
ject and in this way arousng public
opinion which may cause q correction OF the
evil. To refuse TO have the matter investi-
gated, or indeed to throw obstacles in the way
Of an investigation, some of the Southern
Governors plainly intimate may be done, will
be regarded as an admission Of guilt in ad-
vance, and thus will do away with the
possibility Of even partial excuse.

The Democratic State central COM
mittee persists in accusing Postmaster
Georges subordinates Of embezzleme mt
and are probably not altogether un-
mindful of the fact that the accusation
must OF necessity carry with it a. charge
OF incompetency on the part of the post
master. Considering the source, how
ever, neither the postmaster nor his en-
ployes need feel that their regulations in
the community are at all affected.

FARM. GARDEN and
HOUSEHOLD.
How They Farm in China.

A large part of the farming of China
is done by irrigation. 1t is wonderful
how we'll they work, and how much they
get off the land. Three crops year is
by no means uncommon, and if any sign
or a failure of crop is seen, the seed for
another crop is straightway sown.
1t is wonderful how small the farms are.
There are thousands of holdings in China
which are less than an acfe, and some
are even as small as the tenth OF an acre.
1t is estimated that an acre of land will,
in the better parts OF the empire, support
a family of six, and volume could be
written on Chinese agriculture.
The use of fertilizers is universal, and,
though there are practically no horses
and few cattle, there is no land which is
so well fed. Everything is saved.
Thousands of men do nothing else but
gather up bits of fertilizing matter and
sell them The refuse of rich family
will bring more than that OF poor one,
and the slops of the foreign part OF
Shanha are iarmed out annually for a
sum which gives the city the most of its
educational fund.
Potato peelings, the parings OF finger
nails, the shavings OF the head, and other
refuse form part of the fertilzing mater
ial and this is usually put together in
such liquid form that not bit of it is
wasted. The manure is kept in grea,
vats, and the farm is watered like a gar
den. Each plot gets its daily food and
drink. A dipper full from a vat is put in
each bucket of water, and the mixture is
poured in at the roots of the plants. All
throughout this part of China such lertil-
ization goes on, and from twenty to thirty
dollars a year is sometimes spent upon an
acre of land.
have seen some cows, but their milk
is not used as food. The Ch'naman does
not think milk fit to drink, and he only
uses it as medicine. The mutton of this
part of China is very fine, and its favor is
said to be much improved by feeding the
sheep on mulberry leaves. The pigs are

Advantages of Farm Life.

T. b. Terry says that one reason the
farmers do not see the profits of the farm
is that they do not realize the lessened
cost of living. Mr.. Terry thus reckons
his own unseen expenses; House, worth
$50 per month; fruit garden during Its
season, 81 per day; a COW for cream and
milk, 500 per year; light and fuel, from
s. to S per year on the farm, and from
IS to sI2 per month in the city. Then
free pure water, fresh meat, horse and
carriage, etc, are all to be reckoned
among the advantages of the farm. A
farmer has his own garden vegetables,
fruits, flour and wheat, and his clothing
does not need to be very expensive, anc
his taxes are only about half those of his
city brother.

Buttermilk for Poultry.

Milk in any form may be profitable fed
to poultry, and we have many times spok-
en- of the economy of feeding skinned
milk to laying hens. On farm where
dairying is carried on it will be found that
buttermik also may be fed to the fouls
and pay better than by dispe sing of it in
almost any other way. 1t will decidedly
increase the egg production Of the flock,
and after few days it will be found that
the fowls will look eagerly for the appear
ance of the dish the buttermilk is usually
brought in. According to the American
Poultry Yard, when buttermilk is fed no
water need be given, and the slightly sa-
