Adv ices from Wyoming say that among the Democratic nominees for the Legislature are three ex-rebel soldiers.
Democracy in Iowa is to be encouraged during the campaign by Senator Hendricks and Dan. Voorhees, of this State. It is a good lield for practice, if a man can content himself to labor against ail hope.
Ana Packer, Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, is said to be accused of being very unpopular ia his own county, on ae count of "pettish conduct and niggardly want of liberality."
The Republican meeti.ig at Nashville, Teim., on Saturday adopted resolutions calling upon Gov. Senter to convene in extra session the old or existing Legislature, for the purpose of taking action upon the Fifteenth Amendment, there being no question, in tho opinion of the meeting, of the constitutional dcctioa und validity of that tody.
The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes General Eosecrans' letter, with the remark that it will be more heartily admired for its frankness than approved for its wisdom, and its effect, on the whole, will be to increase, if possible, the general joy of the Dem ocrats that Pendleton is their candidate. This i3 the return Rosecrans gets for his lecture upon Democratic crimes, blunders, follies, and "departure from true faith."
The Detroit Free Press (Democratic) deems it already settled that no party can succeed in the next Presidential election without inscribing upon its banner universal amnesty, and probably universal suffrage, a tariff for purposes of revenue and not protection, a speedy return to specie payments, and a most rigidly honest, faithful and economical administration of the Government, to the end that taxes may be largely diminished.
It is stated, seemingly on good authority, that Rosecrans' letter of declination was in the hands of the Democratic State Committee, more than a week before they would, consent to have it' published. No "wonder they hesitated, for he condemns all discriminations "based on clasB, creed, race, color or national origin," and emphatically repudiates repudiators. This was not exactly what they expected from their own candinate.
JUDGE MCDONALD bequeaths bis farm at Vertland to his granchildren, the children of his deceased daughter, Mary G. Vedable. The residence on North Pennsylvania street, in In dianapolis is left to his three daug ters, Ellen Ray, Flora McDonald. His law library is to be appraised by two lawyers to be selected by his executors, and if his son-in-law, John W. Wray, chooses to take it at twothirds its appraised value, he can do so. Otherwise, it is to be sold at public or private sale.

THE LOCAL PAPER —The following tribute to the local paper from the Chicago Republican, contains so much truth that we transfer it to our columns and commend it to the careful consideration of our business men and those interested in our town: "What tells us so readily the standard of a town or city as the appearance of its paper And its
3'ou
3'outh
or
its «ge can as well be defined bv the observing as by a personal notice. The enterprise of its citizens is depicted by its advertisements, their liberality by the looks of the paper. Some papers show si good, solid, healthy foundation, plethoric purses, and a well-to-do appearance generally others show a striving to contend with the grasping thousands around them, trying hard to wrench out an existence from the close-fisted community around them. An occasional meteoric display in its columns of telegraph or lbcal, or of editorials, show what it fean do if it had the means, but it caniiot continue in the expensive work until support comes, which ought to be readily: granted. A newspaper is like a church it wants fostering at the commencement, and fbr a few years, then as a general thing, can walk alone, and reflect credit upon its location. Take your home paper, it gives
more newd of immediate
interest than New York or other papers it talks for you when other localities belie you, it stands up for your rights you always have acham pion in your home paper and those who stand up for you should certainly be well sustained. Your interests are kindred and equal, and you must rise or fall together. Therefore it is to your interest to support your home paper, not grudgingly,-but in a liberal spirit as a pleasure, not a6 a disagreeable duty bnt as an investment that will ainplv pay tbe expenditure."
The Nobstance.
Gen. Rosec.fans' letter declining the nomination of the Democracy for Governor of Ohio- has appeared. It is three mortal columns in length, and treats of the lollowing subjects:
I. Gratitude. 2/Sincere Devotion. 3. Democratic Party. 4. Dreamers after Imperialism, whatever dreamers alter imperialism are. 5. Eplnribus Unum. 6. Self government of the people by the States, which is good. 7. American Democracy. 8. Public Debt 9. Currency. 10. Revenue.
II. Protection. 12. Class Legislation. 13. Offices. 14. Tenure of Executive Patronage. 15. Suffrage. 16. The Caucus System.
The General's style may be indicated by the following extract: "The Democratic doctrine of suf frage requires a distinct reaffirmation. Democracy has always held that suffrage is not a natural right of every human being nor of a particular sex or race, but a political privilege,.and who should exercise It, is a question to be decided by what will producc the greatest' good to the greater. number and, therefore, ds far as possible, to be determined locally, where lies the great body of the rights of the people."
Rosecrans is a good fellow he was a patriotic soldter but we are very much afraid that as an epistolary correspondent he is a failure.-— Chicago Post.
More Government Retrenchment.
We understand General Sherman, and the Secretary of War have determined to reduce very largely the number of depots or quaitermaster, commissary and ordnance stores. The personnel of the staff and other expenses of the few depo's which are to be retained 11 also be materially reduced.—WashingtonJKepublican.
THE Republican Manner (Democrat) of Nashville is disgusted with the New York World for claiming the result in Tennessee as a victory by the Democcracy, as represented by the Wor/d.
PARAGRAPHS.
—Every season has its own ser mon. Sometimes the earth wiv*, "Plow me deeper this year itcikv out, "Drain me better." —The Russian Government is said to have offered thirty-live millions francs for Prince Borghee's celebrated picture gallery of ancient masters.
In ascertaining what is going to pay best, that farmer will form the most sagacious judgement who takes into account the effect of the late war and of the universal railway.
Two cucumber hills, side by side, and every way alike, were hoed differently—one just enough to kill the weeds, tbe other daily: the latter yielded twice as much as the former. —A firm in Western New York has received an order for thirteen fanning mills from Eastern Turkey, and there arc sixty American plows among the Zulus of South Africa. —To be a model farmer implies the best of faculties, because in agriculture one has the greatest number of competitors and the fewest well settled, trustworthy maxims. —Counting acres, taking' mortgages, going over stock, calculating interest, will not answer the question, how rich is a man iHe is rich or poor according to what he is, not what he has. —Henry Ward Beecher corrects a newspaper writer who speaks of his farm at Fishlcill. He says he owns a farm at Peekskill, and if he had another he should think himself on the high road to the poor house. —Chicago leads all our Eastern cities in availing herself of the Pa cific railroad. She has filled California with rumors of her greatness. Everywhere one hears the remark, "I should like to see Chicago it-j must bo w..-inl-.i:,i'.:l city." —Great crops from small surfaces, great piles of manure, big plow.? for the sod, big horses to pull them, big roots in the cellar, big ears in the crib, hogs that will weigh 500, oxen that will dress at 1,000—some people call this fancy farming, some high farming. What is it bv.t good farming? —A good deal of Kansas land is still held in large tracts. Among other heavy proprietors, Tnaddeus A. Walker, of New York, owns 100,000 acres King, of Cleveland, 40,000 Col. G. W. Veale, of Topeka, 17,000 and J. C. Ayer fa Co., of Lowell, MW?., some 10,000. A million of-.acres, belonging to the Kansas Pacific railway, are also in market. —Lord Taunton, better known formerly as Henry Labouchere, paid back £100,000 compensation money which the Aristol & Exeter Railroad Company had paid his father for cutting through his lands. He saw that his estates were enhanced in value by far more than the ordinary price of the land taken from him —On the railroads in France electricity is taking the place of human watchfulness, On many lines there are contrivances where the passing of a train is automatically announced to neighboring stations. The cars pass over connecting wires, and the train records itself before and behind, so that its progress and appearance are alike indicated. —A correspondent of the Cleveland Herald reports that a Mrs. Birney, 62 years of age, living near Tippecanoe, Harrison county, Ohio, has for twenty three years been in the habit of falling into a state of unconsciousness at about ten o'clock on Sundiay mornings, during which she dieiiveirs ungraramatical religious discoiir^es. This i3 saifl to be the ef-fect-of a stroke of lightning. —Landisburg, Penn., boasts of a woman who practices as well as talks about the "rights of the sex." She is the mother of thirteen children, and goes into the field, partially ar rayed in male attire, and swings the scythe with all the grace, ease, and efficiency of any farmer. About the eleventh hour she repairs to her dom icile—prepares the frugal meal for herself and family, and after the repast—with rake in hand, does duty for the remainder of the day. —A Pittsburg inventor, says the Commercial of that city, has constructed a furnace in which a pan of water is decomposed and the oxvgen ejected into the fire, rendering combustion complete and saving fifty per cent, of the fuel. Another exchange claims that a similar arrangement wa^ invented in Europe a ftw years

He tried one half pound of the new variety, Willard's Seedlings, and from that half pound he has dug ninety-three pounds.
