Dickey from Lancaster county, whether
Pennsylvania was to be honored with

answered in the affirmative. General

OF the age, says''We unequivocally for the in

and unilyng its present organization, for standing
by It's principles, for excluding from Its platform
now, as hitherto, all concessions which involve any
radical change IN the theory OF the republic or any
abandonment OF the cardinal doctrines which have
ever constituted the glory 0S the party"


The Paducah Herald denounces the whole thing,

A BETTER DIET FOR FARMERS The

 first uttered as a sarcasm:-"Sell what you

 can; what you cannot sell eat; what you cannot eat, give to the pigs" We do not believe thrift lies in this direction. The producers of food are entitled to the best their farms afford, and in the long run this IS true economy. One secret of the strong drift of our farming population to- ward the city lies in the farmers table. Children crave a variety of good, whole. some food, and enough of it, and any stint of 1t IS certain to be remembered when they come to shift for themselves. The citizen always has variety of food within

 hls reach, and nothing but poverty pre-

 vents him from enjoying all that the farm

 sends to market. He has all the fruits and

 vegetables in their season, and in the best condition in which he can get them. He has fish and flesh in great variety, and his appetite IS never cloyed. But upon the farm, where the best of everything is pro- duced, salted meats are too often the sta Pio Plo'islous tue year rOanQ, ana corn meal cooked in some form is perpetual feast. Now there is no reason in the world why the farmer should not be the best fed man in the community. He ought to be, as an advertisement of his business. A tailor, of all men, cannot afford to dress shabbily. Coarse, ill-ftting boots are bad card for shoemaker. The producer of food should show us how to cook and enjoy It. Many farmers we know do give us this advertisement of their business. Their guests sometimes forget to come away when their visits are finished But this Is less evil than hospitality which one IS ashamed to offer, and which no one &C., cepts a second time. The physical man should be kept in the best condition by varied and generous diet, and the elo- ry of the farm be made to culminate in the fine specimens of men and women it produces.

As well as in her beauty.

And so We'll claim golden name
From every charm about her;
For angels know that here below

at Brunswick, which rises some fifteen feet
above the water, and will weigh Is or 20 tons,
but which was never visible there before this

that it became frozen into the ice last winter
and was thus transported to its position, or
else that it has been lying heretofore near

since we cannot doubt that 1t will be enforced

FAuYTLERoY's PARDoS.-0ne of the vir-
ginia rebels writes to General Candy for the
reason why he is not permitted TO register his
name as voter, when he received full
pardon in 1865. General Candy replies that
his pardon does not remove his political dis
abilities. Candy stands on the Reconstruction
law. The general rule Of law is that the
pardon really blots out the crime but the
second supplementary act Of reconstruction
provides that ''no person shall at any time be
entitled to be registered or to vote by reason
Of any Executive pardon or amnesty for any
act or thing which without such pardon or
amnesty would disqualify him from registra-
ton or voting" Here Is a very nice question.
The law is to regulate registration, which must
be done after the passage of the law; but so
far as it affects Fauntleroys pardon II Is
er post Jacto; for the pardon was given In 1865,
and the law passed in 1867. No doubt the law
is full authority to refuse registration.
