REPUBLICAN NoODLE-We have condemned
the despatch of Toombs to Chicago, on the occa-
sion of the Grant reception; We must alss con-
denim that of Gov. Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, even
though it may have been intended for smart
gush, or to create a sensation. He says he is in
favor Of Grant for third aud q fourth term,
and President for life. The sentiment of Toombs
is that of a large proportion of the Southern
people; that of Hoyt, of but few of the Northern
people. No other man has given utterance to
this wish. man holding such a belief, or who
will even express it for the purpose of blow,
is not fit to bold Office in Northern State, and
Pennsylvania should take the earliest occasion

the principal objection raised by the Presi-
dent against its approval The argument
by which this recommendation will be sup
ported is in brief that the President vetoed
the bill because of its alleged abridgment
of the powers of civil officers. That in
reality this was not the intention, and
would not be the effect of the bill as here
tofore passed and that the President having
in the opinion of the Democratic party
evaded the main issue, he should now be
given an opportunity to pass upon bill

The latest veto message of President Hayes
is an able, lucid, and eminently fair presen-
tation OF the questions that the Democratic
majority In Congress are forcing to the fron4
of discussion. He clearly perceives that
the issue in 1880 is to be between the old
Calhoun dogma of State Rights and the doc
trine OF National supremacy. These are the
political beliefs that will be advocated before
the people next year, and between which
they will be called upon to make choice The
argument the President makes against the
proposed legislation of the Congressional
majority is as logical in terms as it is courte-
GUS in tone, and cannot fail to command the
approval OF the intelligent and conservative
voters OF the country. The clear and strong
light in which the question is presented
ought to illuminate the minds of those who
think the struggle between the Executive
and the Legislature is simply fight for par
tisan advantage.


This latest veto leaves Congress nothing
to do but to pass the appropriation bills
without lhe Objectionable political riders.
Inc majority Will now scarcely dare to
brave the popular sentiment and adjourn
without providing for the necessities of the
Government. The proposed legislation to
which the President objects will very likely
be put into separate bills, and of course
vetoed The issue thus made can be passed
upon by the people. The Republican party
unhesitatingly accepts it and readilyg goes be-
fore the country upon the question raised.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter thinks
the condition and prospects of trade are in
the highest degree encouraging and says the
activity that has characterized the markets
during the past ten days is SO manifestly the
natural sequent of growing confidence and
increased demand that there is very little
doubt of its continuance. 1t is not attribu-
table in the least to artificial propulsion.
Nothing has been done by interested parties
to accelerate it. There has been a univer-
sal disposition ON the part of all concerned
to wait patiently till normal causes COM
bined to infuse vigor into the business.
There never was movement more replete
with elements of spontaneity and healthful-
ness. So far from being initiated prema-

which conspired to energize it became ire

OF preparation for it-a course of instruc-

hard to learn, but very salutary in their

at hand, duplicating Mr.. Barron.
The alleged defalcation is put at $4,000.
Those who receive the suicide theory, say
that it was fear of detection in wrong-doing
that led to the alleged suicilc-not inability
to pay the deficit. The time had come when
restoration was impossible without confess
sion and confession was to a man of his sem
sitiye nature more terrible than death.


Neither of the three physicians who attend
cd Barron just before his death now consider
suicide improbable. Before his death his
symptoms were like those of man under
the influence Of morphine, and it was re-
marked and so suggested, but as these symp-
toms were not unlike what might have been
caused by bodily violence, no stress was put
upon them.


Had symptoms been so marked as to have
been unmistakablc, the only thought would

poison, however, was sufficiently indicated to
cause the doctors to administer strong coffee

A. complicated chicken case has taxed
the legal acumen of one Judge on the
Georgia Bench and two ex-Judges on
the floor. The party of the first part
owned, or assumed to own the hen, and
the party of the second part was charg-
ed with having stolen the same. The
hen was introduced in evidence and duly
identified, put while the two ex-Judges
were arguing the case on its merits, she
laid an egg in court. AS soon as her
cackle had advertised this new compli-
cation, the party Of the first part claim
ed it as the product of his property; the
party of the second part put in coun-
ter bid; the Judge on the bench was

hay for ten days or two weeks before
calVing. After the calf comes, it is re-
moved from the cow and put into pen
purposely provided for the little stran-
ger, where it is kept in seclusion until it
is two months old. The COW is MIXED
three times a day and the milk is given
to the calf, which is taught to drink
from the first. This plan avoids
the holding up of the milk
and the injury therefrom with
COWS of unusual stupidity and
stubbornness. By giving only dry hay
the flow of milk is retarded, and yet
sufficient for the calf is procured. When
the milk becomes good, on the fifth
day, the COW is removed from her sepa-
rate calving pen into her proper stall
and is put on regular rations gradually,
so that she comes to her full milk in a
week or ten days. The calf is given
skinned milk only after the fifth day,
but this is warmed to the usual heat of
new milk. After a month the calf will
begin to eat little cut hay and feed,
such as is given to the COW, and at three
months has no more milk and takes
half peck of the cut-feed at meal
twice day. As soon as the grass is
ready my calves are turned
into an orchard of an acre,
which is in grass and clover, and re-
ceive twice day little cut hay and
meal. In this way heifer calves begin
to breed at II or y months of age, and
become dams at less than 2 years. A
2-year-old COW thus raised is now Civ
ing IA quarts of milk per day, and is
yielding 8 pounds of butter per week.
In these times early profit is necessary,
even if we should all the sooner ex-
haust the fountain, for we can easily
set another a-going. To figure up the
cost and income of carrying on dairy
managed in this way, compared with one
on the old method of bringing heifers
to profit at 3 years, will show at least
50 per cent. more profit on the modern
than on the ancient plan.-Nea0 York

while failures entail losses upon individuals,
they do not impair the aggregate wealth of

purposes of business, as IL there hadn't been
a single suspension since the year began.

 Ames, alias "The Tinker" and his two partners and Peter Spence are

 known to have been at the Evening Star mine on the night of the murder of J. W. Houten, but the Coroner's jury could not find any one upon

 whom it could fix the crime. The Nugget probably reflects the feelings of the Tombstone people and of many others in the county when it says;

 Can it be possible that now the six teenth person killed upon the Bron- kow mine must die without single murderer being brought to justice? Is Justice so tied in Arizona that not a single official will lit his hand to fer ret out the case? Is there not sufficient interest taken in murder cases that the most liberal reward will now be offered for the assassin who murdered an aged man for spite alone, that those who do know may be tempted to reveal? Such brutal, inhuman conduct should not go unpunished, and the citizens of Charleston will give thelr time and their money to ferret il out, but they need the aid and encouragement of the county generally. Let our officials act, and the people are with them. If such things can go unpunished in Pima County, who is safe in perform ing a legitimate act, such as Houten was doingg Does he deserve death who shall see tit with many others 10 relocate mine?

Several articles and letters have been

common bee as cure for gout. Here

suffering from heavy attack of gout,
accompanied with violent pains in my
left foot, when l chancsd to read in
newspaper an article describing how
gout may be cured by the sting of bees.
I at once determined to try the remedy,
and soon contrived small box by means
of which a captured bee could be ap-
piled to the afflicted part. I then let
nv foot be stung by three bees in sue
cessien, each bee leaving his sting be-
hind in my flesh. After few minutes
these stings were extracted; and when
the pain caused by them had subsidized l
found that the equity pain had also left
me. On the same day 1 left my bed,
and on the morrow was able to walk
about. For some little time my foot
was slightly infamed and l experienced
some burning sensation but in four or
five days this completely left me, and l
was completely recovered"

Last season, for the first time in my
life, raised several acres OF sweet
corn. As soon as the ears were fully
developed I commenced feeding them to
spring pigs. The pigs were kept in a
pasture, and were fed nothing but sweet
corn and kitchen slops. I have never
seen pigs more healthy, or those that
fattened more rapidly. Ateight months
old they dressed little over three hum
dred pounds each. The quality of the
pork was extra, it having none of that
aosid, strong taste that pork made with
field corn invariably has, The favor
was gamey and peculiarly good. The fat
meat had pearly lustre, waspemarksbly
sound, and made little greese in frying.
The proportion of lean to fat was, how.
ever, smaller than in pigs fed in the old
way. | think if farmers would raise and
fatten their pigs Oh sweet corn, we would
hear less OF hog cholera. Certainly we
would have far better quality of meat,
and more acceptable to the general
public. After one seasons trial with
the sweet corn, no one will feed the
field sort to pigs intended for his own
table. The best variety of sweet corn
will yield more per acre than the field
sorts.- Correspondence Country GEM
