NAPOLEON was backward at first and

After Napoleon met his Waterloo in

and France was monarchy, turbulent,
and ruled by successive kings until
1880. when the second republic was in

Twenty-one years later Napoleon JII
was elected emperor and again mon

power. France, which had been in the

ONION GROWING.

A correspondent asks for informa
ton regarding onion growinR. To him
and others desiring such information,
we would say :
You should prepare the land intended
for onions very carefully. r aduce the
top 2 or 8 inches to a One seed bed and
smooth it with light roller before SOW
ing seed. Do not use stable manure
directly. Land heavily manfred for
corn this year may be used next year
or in two years. Apply a chemical
manure containing 3 or 4 per cent. of
nitrogen and 8 or 9 per cent each Of
phosphoric acid and potash, the latter
as muriate or sulphsse. Wood ashes
are good also and yield about 1 to II
per cent. of phosphoric acid with 6 TO
s per cent Of potash A knowledge Of
your lend and conditions 10 necessary
to determine with any accuracy how
much MANURE to use. Between 4OO
and 800 pounds will probably prove
most profitable. SoW 5 or 6 pounds Of
seed per acre. You can ind seed with
any of the leading seedsmPn, Do not
change your dealer unless you find
desirable seeds at lower prices, but we
always advise near by houses for seeds
and toots made near home. You will
need a garden seed sower. You can
find these also with eee1men; but we
have had more satisfaction from use
OF special cultivators for onions than
the combination tools. Planet Jr. is n
good saed ng drill T. W. Wood &
Sons, Rlcbmond, Va, and TAFT & Sons,
Norfolk, Va, are nearby seedsmen
Send to these and others who advertise
catalogues and select from their seed
catalogues the kinds of onions you
wish to cultivate. B BERMUDA, Spanish,

TRUE AND TIMELY.

The editor of the Biblical r ocorder,
in last weeks issue IF that publication,
comments very sensiblV on the recent
political troubles q Kentucky and
points out some lessons & be learned
from the terrible experiences OF our
sister State. Among other things he
says:
Party organs aud party leaders lin
Kentucky have dashed their constiGu
encies into rage, into insane hate, have
defeated the very ends that political
parties exist to subserve, have given
us the spectacle of political parties and
leaders s%ubverting the liberties of the
people and prostituting popular gov
eminent to their own selfish ends.
When political parties come to this, it
is high time for all good men to with
draw their support. When a party
makes an unfair election law to parpet.
uate itself, in the very act it cDnfSsses
it's unworthineas. When a political
leader uD dertakes to override the pop
ular will, in that nom mt he becomes
the worst Of traitors to free govern
ment. Unfair laws, desire for office
rank p~artisanship, leaders determined
to win, Indifference to the State, party
hatred, campaign threats, newspaper
billingsgaee, intimidation, have over
thrown liberty in kentucky and they
will overthrow iG any where. The
time has come when partif anship is o
menace, and parties are to be feared
moro than the evils they promise to
sorrect Lat North Carolinians, now
in the first beginnings of a campaign,
resolve to vent their passions net upon
each other, buT upon the stump
speaker, newspaper writer or editor
who posing as their friend seeks to in =
fame them to hate their fellow citi-
z9ns, or to encourage in them the spirit
Of violence. The true patriot will seek
to make votes by reason and love in
stead OF passion and nate. Remember
this, and no matter in what guige he
comes you will know your man. 1t is
time the people we're saving themselves
from the political parties and their
leaders Let us have no more violent
campaigns The lesson Of Kentucky in
this hour is that horror is the fruit of
violence"
