GAME LITTI.F. BOY.—A friend of ours has two children, a boy five years old, and one just teething. The elder boy had the younger out iu the yard, the other day, in the sun, trying to interest the little one, when the mother chanced to be at the back door. She called to the five year old: "Edmund, take your brother in the shade sir the sun might strike him." Five year old bristled up'and replied: "Sun wouldn't hit little baby like that, mamma, and if lie did, I'd hit him back again!" Game little boy. Harper has had many worse things than that.—N. O. Crescent.

A MORTIFYING MISTAKE.—A negro quartette club recently serenaded a servant in the houso of a gentleman at St. Louis. Their singing was excellent, and the young ladies of the family, deceived by the darkness, thought that the party were their own admirers, and accordingly threw them boquets, and went into a becoming state of excitement. Wheu the father of the girls went out to ask the minstrels in to refresh themselves, the mistake was discovered.

A singular aud perhaps fatal accident happened to a gentleman of North Carolina recently, who was out on a hunting excursion. Ilis dog, playing about him and jumping upon him, strupk his foot against the hammer of his gun aud fired it off—the shot entering the left of the unfortunate gentleman's abdomen, and traveling upward along the left side, aud and coming out of the shoulder.

SOME of our exchanges, the Memphis Appeal says, are suggesting, ns an appropriate ticket for the next Presidential election, Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts, as President, and W. G.

First Gun of the Conflict—A Few Timely Words. Our dispatches from Indianapolis say a man was killed there by a mob and SA«ciul utliers wounded iu front of the hotel whore thjj President and his party uere stoppiug. It is the first gun of the conflict! The shadows of the coming night began to lengthen, to grow darker, and more gloomy. The men who were shot at Indianapolis'were of course fired at by their own neighbors, their fellow townsmen. We may soe in these murderous assaults, as iu a vivid and bloody mirror, a miuature picture of what is in rcse.rve for us through the progress of tho causcs now in operation, unless those causes are arrested by the great bulk of respectable citizeus without reference to party lines. The Indiauapolis riot is a foretaste of what the people in every considerable town aud in every county of the Northern States may expect unless the great mass of good men resolve that the unhealthy excitements which now exist and are daily increasing shall ccase.

If no efforts are put forth by men who have*a substantial interest in maintaining peace arid order to cheek the headlong fury of unscrupulous demagogues who are perpetually pouring oil upon the flames, how long v/iij it be before the very worst elcincuts of society will be iu tho ascendency? IIow long before fanatical assassjyis, too bigoted, too brutal, aud too stupid ever to liavc had a thought beyona tiieir M. I j.«•.,:—« ~:JJ arouse the vengeance of the inob against those who differ from them in opinions, to waylay and assassinate? One disgraceful deed begets anothes. Iu one village there may be a majority on one side in the next, a majority on the other. In one State the masses may favor one side in another and an adjoining State they may favor the other side. It seems to be natural for unthinking persons, carriod away by their heated imagination and by ideas of their own certain infallibility, to look only upon one side of a question, to ignore views from any other point, and to regard nothing but immediate consequences.

The President is threatened with impeachment. If, under the circumstances, this should be actually attempted, there can be uo question that it would bo regarded by a respectable majority in many of the States, aud by a large majority in many other States as a high handed, extra judicial, unconstitutional and revolutionary measure. We strougly incline to believe that such a step would be received by a majority of the whole voting population of the"United States as an unjustifiable national outrage. It would naturally, almost unavoidably lead to a divided authority, to a divided allegiance to a house of York and a house of Lancaster, each side anathematizing the other the partisans of each shooting aud hanging the partisans of the other divided States, cities, counties, villages and neighborhoods, friends and relatives and fellow citizens, aud kindliug such fires in the human heart, as such feuds have never failed to light up. Each side would denounce the other as traitors, and its adherents as traitors. Each would declare that "treason must be made odious each would be very likely to take grounds in favor of and extreme course in the spirit cf retaliation, and now a few would favor the extermination of the enemj

In Boston, the adherents of the Presidential or constitutional party would be seized, imprisoned and shot. In New York, the radicals would share the same fate and thus the fires of a consuming vengeance would rage over the whole country till the consumption should make it desolate, till nothing should remain but a blackened aud bleeding couDtry, covered with plague spots, aiflicted with famine and disease, with prowling gangs of men in pursuit of flying fugitives, with ships rotting at the wharves, with railroads torn up and all business smitten with paralysis and death. In one State tho majority would overcome tho minority, and establish a State government recognizing one of the parties in the geu^ral Government, and in another Stnte the majority would establish a State government recognizing the opposite party in the national Government. Innumerable guerrillas would run at large, acknowledge ing allegiance to no party and making friesds with each by turns as should beat serTe their purpose for pluuder. Parties would at leugth crystalize around military chieftains, the wretched people would cry out in the bitterness of their souls for peace upon any forms, for any sort of

Illack Republican Mob.

Black llepublicauism has accomplished with the President at Indianapolis what its leaders were extremely anxious should be attempted here. Thejspirit developed in Indiaua, and that which here was prolific in threats, are precisely the same. The only difference iu the two cases is in the fact that the fanatics of Indianapolis lmd tiie courage to do what the radicals of Chicago were too cowardly to attempt.

The occurrence at Indianapolis is only one of a thousand similar occurrences, all of which have eminatcd from the same party. The same loafers and black guards who hissed the Presideut in Chi-t-ago arc the same men who howled about Douglas in 1854. The meu hissed aud cursed the President^at.Indiauapolis, aud those who did the same thing to Douglas and President Johnson here, are inspired by the same principles'' aud.,the same spirit that were thoso who mobbed United States marshals a few

vyears

ago, and

those who not long since tore down Democratic printing otJiccs and mobbed and maltreated Democratic editors aud politicians.

It is the same uiob spirit which controls the present congressional rump. Stevens, Iugorsoll and others used-their utmost efforts to bring the President into disrepute. They, or their creatures, loft, nothing uudone to awaken against him a popular feeling which it was hoped \vould result in violence ^nd so persistent, was this-, sort of thing that the President found reason to apprehend that, at any moment he might fall a victim to some fanatic driven to murder by the appeals of priests aud congressmen.

Wherovor thoro been a mob iu the North, there have been found Black liepublican agitators at the bottom. It was Black Republican that sent the crazy old horse thief Brown into Virginia to murder innocerft citizens. It was the same ism that gave its followers Sharp's rifles and sent them to Kansas. It is the same thing which brought to-gether the convention mob in New Orleans, and whose suppression resulted in so much murder.

There must come a time wheu this mob spirit will cither assume full control of the Republic or else it will be suppressed, exterminated. It is a thousand times more pestiferous than secession, more cowardly and more dangerous. Secession was manly enough to take arms aud do battle for its principles aud, wheu defeated, to yield the conflict and the issue. Our Northern fanatics lack all this uianliuess. To suppress free speech, to tear down opposition presses, to gather iu crowds and overawe minorities with clamor,—this is all they desire to do in the North. W„ould they come out and array themselves as did the rebels, the deceut, loyal peace loving people of the country might exterminate them, and thereafter thero would be peace. It is becoming a serious question whether it is worth while to submit much longer to the dominion of loafers, rowdies and blackguards. It ought to be settled in some way whether a republican government means anything but a mob government.—

Chicago Times.

(•literal Grant's Father.

The indorsement by tho father of General Grant of the policy of President Johuson is cheering to the friends of Constitutional liberty. General Grant had spent the day previous to the one on which the President arrived, with his parents. The next morning Mr. (Jrant went with the committees to receive Mr. Johuson, and, when lie was introduced to the President on the boat, lie took the occasion—a very appropriate one—to indorse his restoration policy. There can be no doubt that General (Jrant spoke through the father, and the fact is a strong assurance that the President has the concurrence anil support of the Licu-teuaut-gcneral in his restoration policy.

NV^V, Cutting Drep. The Radical Congress, in its extravagance and profligacy, acted on the idea, that the heavier the taxes on the pcoplo, the heavier should be the expenditures, and especially the salaries of the members. Instead of cutting down expenditures and salaries, thereby making room for a reduction of taxes, the Congress acted on the opposite idea. We arc told that the people will excuse all that, as the Congress labored so industriously for the negroes, and to head the President. One of the Radical orators told us Saturday night, that it makes no difference how much the Congressmen pay themselves.

That is what the Radical Congress thought. Pile on the taxes upon the people, their backs are broad and purses deep and full, and help ourselves and friends, was the Radical motto.

It is rumored that Governor Morton challenged Fred. Douglass to fight a duel ou account of Gentle Anna Dickinson's manifest preference for the negro. Fred, declined to take up the gauntlet flung in his face on the ground that his Excellency could "stand fire" better than ho could.

Growing a Variety of Grasses. A farmer should not depend on a single variety of grass alone to stock his land. Neither clover, timothy, blue-grass, red-top, or any other of the grasses will yield as largely when grown separate as will different kinds mixed in the same field. Iu pastures the difference in profit is greater than in meadows, between stockiug with one or several varieties. Where there is variety there is the best for each season one kind starts early another grows vigorously iu the summertime and withstands dry weather a third may supply an abundance of late fall feed, enduring frosts well. Then stock has a choice and a variety, and the land is apt to have a denser covering and more pasture is thereby affoided.

For manurial purposes it is also better to grow a variety of grasses and plants on thfe Bame -spot. Some draw more nutriment fro'm the air, others more from the soil some send their roots down deep into tho Bubsoil, others thrive near the surface. Perhaps, too, the soil may be wanting in some materials necessary to tho proper growth of one kind of grass, but it may be well supplied with what will promote the success of another. The clover may winter-kill—then there should be timothy and blue-grass. There is room and food enough in tho Boil for many kinds to use at once give Nature time enough and shu will put them there. The famer should anticipate aud place thoin in his soil in the beginning.

Seeding Down Land.

It frequently happens that in seeding land to timothy and clover both prove a partial failure tho first year aud yield but scanty crop of hay the second year. This is sometimes owing, probably, to tho rank, heavy growth of wheat, rye, barley or oats, as the case may be, by which the grass is choked out before it has attained sufficient vigor to hold its own against tho crop with which it is sown. At other times the severity of the winter season may have killed out both tho grgin and the grass, or they may suffer from the effects of extreme drouth, involving a partial or entire destruction of both. These are casualties not easily provided against, and when they occur it requires more time to repair the damage than is agreeable to the farmer who has stock in want of hay. When the failure is pretty general iu a seeded field, it would seem to be good policy to plow again ns a preparation for a anothor trial iustead of waiting the slow process of self-seeding, as is sometimes done. The end, be *ure, will

.,,, be attained iu time, if the partial crop ol'

Almost since the middle of July there -i -l

has been incessant rains, which are begin ning to excite serious apprehensions as to I the safety of the corn crop—the great danger being, if the rains continue, to keep the corn green, until frost comes, after which the corn, instead of hardening, moiiIda in an nxtent that renders it unfit for any purpose.—Shelby Volunteer.

The woods iu this vicinity aro full of wild turkies, and the fields indicate an unusually lieavy crop of quails. Some gunners are gatheriug their share of the crop in advance of frosts. To avoid the penalties of the law, they shoot larks exclusively! Some of the larks recently taken resemble the quail so closely that even our most skillful sportsmen are unablo 4o distinguish them.—Guardian of Liberty.

Alfred Kilgore 33§q., has purchased the material of the Muncie Press Office, and established a new paper under the title^of tho Guardian of Liberty.

Success to Mr. K. and his enterprise.

FATAI. ACCIDENT.—William Taber, a young man about eighteen years of age, son of Samuel Tuber, of this county, ac cidontally shot himself last Tuesday, which resulted in instant death. Seeing some cattle in the cornficld, he hastened to the house for the shot gun which he designed loading with coarse salt to frighteu them off. On taking the gun down it is thought he put his foot on the hammer and while holding it back attempted to blow in the muzzle to ascertain if it wis loaded. His foot slipping from the hammer caused an explosion of tho cap, and a'heavy charge of shot entered his mouth lodging in the back of his head. In their deep affliction the parents and relatives of the deceased have the sympathies of the entire community.—Plymouth

SHOULD INDIANA BF. TUIINED OUT OF TIIE UNION.—The precedent for this, is the exclusion of Louisiana from the Uuion, aud tha long exclusion of Tennessee, because of riots in'Memphis and New Orleans. These riots were somewhat bloody and very disgraceful, as were the New York riots, but as New York was Republican, it was never proposed to exclude the great State from the Union, as Louisiana has been excluded —nor should Indiana bo driven out of the Uuion, because of a riot at Indianapolis—with loss of life, in an attempt to prevent the President of the United States from being heard there.

grass is cut late in the season, but in thi way there is a loss of the customary avails of the capital invested, whij.'h is* rarely sustained with oquauiuiity by the live farmer.

But partial failures of newly seeded lands to return promptly the expected crop of hay, not uufrequcntly occur from the parsimoniousncHB with rrhioh tho /armor dispenses his grass seed when laying down lands to meadow. This article is often rather expensive, hence the amount allotcd to each acre is so small that it would hardly suffice, did every seed germinate and continue to grow, but if only one fourth of the amount does this, owing to the drouth or severe frosts, the crop of hay the first seusou will not be worth the expense of gathering. The bettor and safer way is to seed liberally, a peck or so to tho acre, instead of half that amount, and then, if a failure occurs, the farmer will not have the unpleasant reflection that to his own parsimony is possibly to bo attributed the

IOBB

to which

he has been subjected by the failure of his grass seeding.

Sowing Timothy In Autumn. You aro pretty sure of one thing if you sow timothy with the wheat in the autumn, and that is, the grass seed will mostly all grow and livo and your land will bQ.woll stocked. Hence a great many farmers practice sowing grass seod at the time of whoat seeding but there is one disadvantage attending this time, which is the large growth the young grass gets in the grain the noxt spring and summer. This growth, we apprehend, on rich lands and in favorable seasons, sometimes very materially injures the whoat. When grass seed has been thickly sown early in tho autumn, we have seen a sod formed among the grain before harvest time, and a great deal, of the timothy headed.

Now this is a good thiug for the stock that picks over the straw in winter, but it probably iujures the graius both in yield aud quality. In the majority of cases wo are as certain of getting a good stand of grass if we defer the sowing until later in the autumn than the time for wheat. The timothy docs not then get sufficient growth to iujure the grain. Sowing timothy seed iu the spring would be tar more successful if, by some means, the crust of the earth could be broken between- the stools of wheat. Where the grain drilled this result could be attained, on most land, by using a light harrow. The time will couie, wo think, when wheat will be almost entirely drilled, and machiuory adapted to stirring the soil between the rows will be as common as,..tho drill it-

The Indianapolis riot, nevertheless, is a very great disgrace to the Indiana authorities. Tf Congress were iu session, it might bo worth the while following tho Memphis precedent, to inquire into it. Life has been lost. Tho President of the United States has been endangerod. Free speech has been forbidden. A public meeting was broken up. Banners were torn, and a procession was disturb-

All this is bad in principle, and

PSS lis! Farmers' Horses In Autumn. Farmers' horses are often neglected in the autumn—perhaps we should be justified in saying abused. The heavy work of the season is done, aud, though there are almost daily jobs for the horses to perform, it is frequently considered well enough to drop their grain, and let them thrive as best they cau on the pasture.

Another serious complaint the horse would make, had he tho power is that proper and timely shelter is not furnished. There is scarcely a night after the middle of September during which the farmers work horses should not be sheltered in the stable. Preservation of their health aud economy iu their keep-

the absolute cruelty of exposiug these faithful servants of man to a furious storm—after feeding awhile thoy become chilled and resort to running to get warm thoy accomplish their object, but often at the cost of a stumble and fall in the dark, a cut

a sprain which puts a blemish

on them for life. Then, being warm and tired from running, they are inclined to rest, and the chilly air operating on their heated blood and relaxed sinews tends to stiffeu them, Tender them spiritless, and often induces a severe cold. A horse treated in this way is not prepared to serve his owner well, either ou tho farm or road.

It is well enough to let the horses run in the pasture on days that are not stormy, but every autumn night should find them in the stable. Give them a good bed, fresh, sweet hay, and a little grain they will be safe, and quiet they will rest well, and when their master calls on theiu for service they will have the spirit and endurance to perform it well.

Human: nature viewed in its crude state as pictured among African savages is quite on a level with that of the brute, and not to be compared with tb« noble character of the dog. There fa neither gratitude, pity,— :, love nor self-denial no idea of duty, no' ', religion, but covctousness, ingratitude, selfishuess and cruelty.

This is an Englishman's language: "Remarkably good people, but possessing a peculiar taste for dogs and human flesh. They accompanied the trading party in their razzias, and invariably ate the dead bodies of the slain. The trador's complained that they were bad associates, as they insisted on killing and eating the children which the party. wished to secure as slaves their custom was to secure a child by the ankles and to dash its head against tho ground thus killed, they opened the abdomen, extracted the stomach and intestines, and tying the two ankles to the neck, they carried the body by slinging it over the shoulder, and thus returned to oamp, where they divided it by quartering, and boiled it in a large pot. Another man in my own service had been a witness to a horrible act of cannibalism at Oondokoro. "The traders had arrived with their ivory from the West, together with a ••*. great number of slaves tho porters wbo j'l' carried the ivory being Makkarikas. One of the slave girls attempted to escape, and her proprietor fired at her with his

Others killed jf her with a lance, and at once divided he? -A by cutting off the head, and splitting the h.i body with their lances, used as knives, cutting longitudinally from between the logs along tho spine to the neck.
