Senate being present, was loudly called
for. and responded in q brief but very forci-
BILE speech. Mr.. Mcconnell is again the
nominee of this Senatorial District for re-
election to the position which he has SO
faithfully and ably filled for the last two
years. So far as we are aware he is the
only one of the Republican members of the
last Senate who is nominated for re-elec-
ton, and we are quite sure that we could
have made no better selection from our
District. When elected, which he will
be on the day of election, he
will on account of his experience
both in the House and Senate, be recog-
nized as one of the leaders of the Republi-
can delegation, and in him we have one
who will be ready and more than willing
to oppose any act which may come up,
either directly or indirectly to legalize the
TOrbett issue of Tennessee Bank money,
and all measures of that class which are
likely to come up in the next Legislature.


We understand from Mr.. Mcconnell
that it is his intention to spend the time,
from this time until the election i'll the
upper counties of the district, and we be-
speak for him full turn out of the voters
wherever he goes, for he is an able speaker,
and we assure all that they will be amply
repaid for going to hear him.

| should have stated. IN the proper
place, that hay should not get too dry be-
fore it is taken to the barn. Clover
should be taken in before il will crumble
much in handling, and the other grasses
as soon as they are dry enough. In dry,
hot weather hay may be loaded from the
cock If il will not do, little airing TO
dry off the sweat will probably be ali thet
that is needed. lf opened too much or
too long, it will be better to put it to-
gether again than to allow 1t to get too
dry.


Clover is often cut too late to make
good hay. There are good many dry
stems aud leaves; the latter crumble and
the fuzz rubs off the former. and beth to-
gether make the hay very dusty. This is
also very likely to be the case with the
second cutting of the same year, as it
grows aud ripens more uneven and will
contain more or less of such dead clover.
1t is nearly always more profitable to cut
for seed or to pasture this second growth
Cut the first crop early, when 1t will
make the best hay, and second growth
for seed may be obtained that will bring
more money fer the seed than than the

BY ANsoN d. L. RANDOLPH,
Why vex my heart on what need not know,
Or search for that may not hope to find,
While restless thoughts still urge me two and fro


With dull, uneasy mind2
Shall pursue some dangerous, hidden way,
Orstriye to pierce darkness vast and deep
Till doubts and fears assal me, or delay,
And shut me from the calm, etIulgent day,


While but dream or sleep?
While mysteries compass all my outer life,
Still greater mysteries do find within;
The good and evil in tumutuous strife,


And tn inconstant will:
Mystlf, not cen myself can comprehend;
In vain I drop the pummet in this sea:
Shall reject my Lord, deny my friend,
Since all his ways are not revealed to me,


Or know not their end
Fer since began my life its common round,
As day succeeded night, or night the day,
My toll or rest have not always found


In Gods appointed way
am no waif upon rushing stream
For winds to play with; predestined ends are


mine,


With knowledge of love complete, serene,
And watch and guidance of power divine,


Eternal ami supreme!
o gracious Lord, who from the wise dost hide
That which to little ones thou wilt make known
Keep thou my heart untouched by human pride


And make thy will my own:
Ev'n of child leans on its mothers breast
In sweet, confding love, contented there,
So let me lean, so be my faith expressed.
Jnvexed with doubt and undisturbed by care


And leave to Thee the rest.

The Orangomen had their parade in
New York city Jrly 12'h, and not even
skull got crack throughout the whole
affair. They were guarded by large
force of well armed police. A write in
the Springfield Republican gives de-
scription of it from which we take,the fol-
lowing -


1t was day of fasting and prayer with
the Catholics of this city. 1t was day
of bitter humiliation 10 them. Many of
them could not apply themselves to their
customary labors, but wandered dsconso-
lately about the streets, deriving what sol
ace they could from the fact that the air
was full of fine drizzlng rain which,
however, was not sufficiently consolatory
to prevent a savage CLEAN appearing in
their eyes or to lessen the distressfu hcav-
ing of their oppressed bosoms as the sound
of drums and the wofu beat of discord-
ant trumpets smote their straining ears
Led by an irresistible attraction, they
wended their way toward the spot whence
the martial tones proceeded, and there be-
held the blue banners Of the Orangemen
proudly waving above the serted ranks of
fearless cohorts moving majestically thro'
the streets. With feverish earnestness
they looked this way and that for any loose
brick bat or convenient bit of wood with
which they might smash few of those
naughty heads, but at the same time catch
ing sight of the pondcrous riot clubs in
the hands Of the long lines of policemen
surrounding the procession, an indescrib-
BILE sadness spread over their fine counte-
nances, and with fervid imprecations on
their lips they resigned themselves to their
miserable fate. 1t was impossible not to
sympathize with them in their morti6ca-
ton; it was impossible not to feel for ones
fellow citizens when such load of insults
was being heaped upon them by an arro-
CANT city government for by the express
orders of that government platoon of
heavily armed police marched in the van,
another in the rear, and double line of

great trotting match between Bud Do
ble's Goldsmith Maid and Ex-Governor
Sanford's Accident for a purse of $75OO
best three in five, came off to-day in
presence of large attendance OF spec

very heavy, Goldsmith Maid leading in

made, but at last finally went off even
together. After a close contest the
Maid won the first heat by one length.
Time 2:2O}. The first halt mile was
made in l:074. The second heat was
also verv closely contested, both horses
keeping well abreast till near the end
of the line, when the Maid pulled
ahead and came in half length 10
advance. Time 2:2lf; first half mile
in l:OSa. During the third heat the
horses were loudly cheered. Accident
took the pole and on the start led the
Maid by two lengths to the halt mile:
Accident then made bad break and
lost fully five lengths. The heat and
race was won by the Maid. Time 2.22
1t was reported that Accident went off
before the start was given in the last
heat. The result Of the race created
much excitement among the hackers OF

We do not believe it. And yet we are in

What is the secret of this unexpected delay
Is it because of any failure of the Bar AsSo-

corrupt Judges is immeasnrably the most I'M

The administration of justice in New York
has become a public scandal. That scandal it
j. the instant duty of the Legislature TO cor
rect. What the Bar Association may or may
not have done, is beside the question. Of its
own motion, without suggestion from any
quarter, the Legislature should have promptly
taken c0eniZanco of the case, and applied
one or other Of the remedies with
the use Of which the Constitution vests it,
In past years we did not lock to the Legisla

the proposition of the Grand jury TO go out
