Witch Grass.

This is terrible weed to eradicate
either from the field or the garden. It
spreads by means of underground
stems, called root-stocks. These run
along below the reach of the moving
machine, or of grazing animals, and
often too deep to be disturbed by sur
face cultivation. They produce buds
at their numerous scaly nodes, and
these buds develop into new plants in
exactly the same manner as branches
are produced above ground. The root
stocks Of couch grass will sometimes
grow to length of ten to fifteen feet
in one season, furnishing this weed
with means Of rapid distribution and
propagation, a character making It
most pernicious in cultivated land The
only way entirely to get rid Of it is by
forking the ground over carefully, and
picking it out piece by piece. Even
the smallest bit left in the ground will
start into growth.-American Cultiva-
tor.

SPURNED BY MURPHY.
REFUSES SHEEH4N OFFER.

miftee zcith McCorren.

William F. Sheehan has offered to put Charles
F. Murphy on the State Executive Committee of
which Senator McCarren is the head. Murphy
has refused point blank TO accept the honor. and
has told Sheehan that he will not serve on the
same committee with McCarren.
The fight between Murphy and McCarren and
the failure of Mr Sheehan to heal the breach.

Democrats yesterday. Thomas Taggart chair
man of the national committee. was anxious to
hear all about it as soon as he reached town
last night from indianapolis, and the district
leaders gathered at Tammany Hall 10 get some
thing about it from Mr.. Murphy himself The
Tammany chieftain did go to the wigwam
yesterday.
The McCarren men are laughing at Murphy
and this makes him all the more angry. Nc
Carren went around among ths. Hill men yes
terday wearing a broad smile. He has not the
slightest intention of retiring from the head OF
the executive committee. The money raised by
Messrs. Sheehan. Belmont and others among
the trust interests in Wall Street is all ready.
and Mr.. McCarren also is ready. The Senator be-
lieves that he can, by a judicious handling of
the campaign funds. bring Mr.. Murphy TO a reah-
cation that it does not pay to have Tammany
heads of departments dismissing good McCar-
men cutting down their pay. There is
every indication that as soon as the trusts cam
paign contributions are on tap at Mr.. McCar-
ren's private office he viii discover that the
Brooklyn situation is very bad for the state
ticket and that an immediate liberal expendi-
ture of money is necessary 10 defeat the Re-
pubcans in Kings.
In the game Of bruise Murphy is the little
machine, and McCarren. backed as he is by the
State and national committee. is the big ma
chine. The little machine jumps ahead and
backs up with great celebrity. but the big machine
fiattens things out powerfully when it goes
over a recalcttraut. In the face of it ALL Murphy
is expected TO roll up unprecedented majority
for Parker in the county. knowing full we'll that
