THE IAST SAD BITES. THE INDEPENDENT SUCKLING

TOO IJTT1XE GRANGER PAP. IT 13 SIEZ ED WITH A VIOLENT ATTACK OF "NO PARTTLStf COLIC" AND IS LAID OCT ITS MOST FBOMINENT ORANGER PHYSICIAN 'SniPPKD" TUB PALL BEARERS AFPOINTED TUB FUNERAL ORATION AND TUE CLOSING WENKS. Yesterday was a day fraught with surprises and griefs to many of the adopted parents of the independent (granger) offspring. For sometime past there have been indications ol s congestive attack, owing, as is supposed, to the meager amouut ol granger pap administered. It waa whispered also that one of its attendant physicians bad acted as an accoucheur at the birth of the damocratic offspring, and would in con9equfnce be dismissed. These rumors were, a after events show, only too well vcrfied. There was not the crowding and confusion incident to great assemblies. The air was unusually still as though importing disaster. At half past 10 o'clock the mas-sos were represented by some seventy-six persons; in raet, the 'vpirit of 7" seamed to pervade these present. The atmosphere was rot as redolent ol elover and tue hay field as might have been expected, and the "professional" element was both seen and felt. And in glancing over the concourse, a thrill of surprise, not to say pleasure, could be pardoned, when the gaze met such well-known personales as Attorney General Denny, Harry Adam", Deputy Secretary of ScateT rusler, Sheriff Ruckle, and John D. Nicholas the last two of the republican "Orgin." These, however, had taken "back, seats." Among the throng wird also A. T. Whittlesey, J. Koos Neff, Riley Hog-hire, Frank bonders, David Kilgore, the Hon. Solomon Blair, the Messrs. Buchanan, James Comstock, and , well, in fw, there was enough, just enough, farmer or granger leaven to leaven the professional and non-agricultural lump. How. ever, the machinery was soon set in order and started, and the proceedings of the oc casion Legan. The convention was called to order by A. j J. Olleman, who, with a copy of the orgin' in bis hands, read Irom the Sun the resolutions of June 10. A. C. Stevenson, of Putnam county, the chairman of the 10th of June convention was nominated as chairman and introduced as a "veteran tanner" of Indiana. HI.H RESPONSE. lie, in response, stated he could not be prouder of any title than the above. He was one of the first members of the Agricultural Board of the State, and had always taken an interest in anything pertaining to the farmers. lie alluded to tho loth of June convention, and said there m?ght have been and doubtless were some mistakes made in that ronvention. lie spoke of the necessity of a new party; of the incapacity of both republican and democratic parties. Compare the two platforms, and see how little there was in each that an indepandent could subscribe to. Since June the speaker said be had been around the country a good deal, and in no political canvass betöre had he ever seen so much inquiry concerning the reason of tho existing state of a flair?. The people Of the country are inquiring Into these things. Speaking öf the independent party, be said they had a big lischt on hind. They were to light, too, almost without arms, as it were. They have arrayed against them the old politicians and war horses. The raw recruits must light a drilled army. Formerly the farmers were called the bone and sinew of the country. Now they arespoken of as boors; as not tit to represent a party. What, send a farmer to Congress? Preposterous! The two parties arc leading ont now their ablest speakers on the rostrum. It was no matter if the independent party had no speakers. If their shakers couldonly read a newspaper and show to the people the platforms of either or both parties, that was jnoogh. Mr. Stevenson concluded by drawing a glowing sketch of the piogress of the independent causo in the country at large, thoueli he thought it bad advanced but little in the head centers. On motion, Mr. J. S. C. Jliatt, of the Newcastle Times, was nominated secretary, and J. II. Felter, ot the Green castle Star, assistant secretarv. The programme of organization and proceedings of the convention recommended by the central committee was then adopted. The following resolution was offered by II. Shepler: Resolved, That the counties be called, and the names of delegates be reported to the convention, in order to prevent only those who intend to vote the ticket, from partlcipating. This was amended by substituting congressional districts instead of counties. The resolution a amended, as also the original, was squelched. The following vice presidents were then appointed: Jas. Comstcck, of the Sixth District; Robt. Mitchell, of the First; Elias blusher, of the Ninth; C. B. Jackson, of the Jblfth; Fielding Beeler, of the Seventh. THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS was. then appointed, consisting of the following persons: Wm. Knrz, of Gibson county, of the First Congressional District; J. Q. A. Newsom, of the Third; Morgan McCoy, of the Filth; J. M. Robinson' of the Sixth; Henry Shepler, of the Seventh; If. W. Rogers of the kightn; Samuel V idenhamer. of the Ninth; A. W. Cook, of t)io Eleventh: J. M. Keaaner. of the Thirteenth. Next came the appointment of the committee on nominations, which were named as tollows: Wm. 1. Knowles. of the First District; E. B. Jackson, of the Fifth; A. D. Pendleton, of the Sixth; R. M. Hazlitt, of the Seventh; Strange Sinclair, of the Kighth; Kitas liusser, of the rsintii; j.t. Dyer, or the Eleventh; Merrill Williams, of the Twelfth. M. Olleman then made the following re port from the central committee lor inforhnation of the convention concerning the tiominees of June 10: "Xov'es S. White, Vioniinee for secretary of state, and Clarkson I)avis, nominee for superintendent ol public nstruction, decline. Morris C. Burnett, for reasurerof state, and Horace I". Diddle, for udge of Supremo Court, have not acc epted. Considerable discussion ensued on lhe acceptance of the report. R was tin ally cceptcd, and referred to the committee on ommations. NO POINT. Mr. Buchanan did not see any "point' in ferringit. lie thought they should simply et on it without referring. It was moved to reconsider the motion (amended) to refer. The report, at the request of a delayed mein her from Boono county, was then reread, and the report received. The following res olution was presented by A. . Pendleton, 1 Whereas, Khenezer Henderson, the noralinee of the Independent Convention held in jl'topian economists and other interested parties, and so fairly and clearly . presented as to get the intelligent judgment of the iiiaiei of the people, they will bo decided in accordance with. the strictest principle ol equity, and that the rights of individuals, as well as of corporations, will be recognized and respected, which is all that any honest party will claim, and all that any honorable party will grant. In tho investigation of tho question bearing on the subject of the relations and rights of CAPITAL AND LABOR, hcrearo certain fundamental or governing frindplea that must be kept prominently in lew; otherwise there ü danger of mistak

ing effect for causes, and running into errors not less injurious than those wo propose to correct ; among which are the principles upon which our institutions are founded. There are but two principles ot government, the autocratic and democratic. All other forms are but a modification of the one or the other of these principles. The laws adapted to the former must b9 such as will vest all political power, as well as the power over all the property in tho kingdom, In the individual sovereign. On the other hand, the laws adapt! to the latter, or democrat? principles, must be such as will diffuse and distribute the political power, as well as the power over pro pertv, equitably among the people. I think it will not be denied or seriously questioned by any fair minded man that the design of tho founders of the republic was to establish a government on tho principles of inherent or underived sovereignty in the people, that would give to each citizen the largest political and religious liberty compatible: with th9 good order of society, and at the same time protect each and all in their natural rights to enjoy the fruits of their labor and talents; a government of the people in contradistinction to the autocratic politics of Europe, where pioperty, or a privileged class, aud not a whole people, govern. This being granted, it follows that when laws are enacted destructive of these ends, it is the right and duty ot the people to alter, amend, or abolish them, and to institute such others, founded on the principles ot equity, as to them may seem moat likely to effect thir property and happiness. As all special privileges and powers, conferred on corporations by legislative

enactment, are granted at the expense of tue oople, they must be held subordinate to the rights of natural persons, and sub'-est t the supervision and control of the power creating them. If this rule is not adopted and stricdy adhered to, bank and railroad corporations, and other monopolies created by legislation, will soon have absolute control of every department of tho government, State and national. Hut "it may be said we must not intertere with vested rights. I reply that it is not proposed to disturb vested rights, but to eliminate vested wrongs from our svstem, and when this is done there will be little complaint Irom any quarter AGAINST VESTED RIGHTS. I would here remark that it must be remembered that without intelligence and virtue in the governing power, whether exercised by the individual sovereign, a privileged class, or by 'the wholo people, we can not have a wise and impartial administration of justice under any form of government. Our government being a co-ope rat ire association or corporation in which each citizen is a stockholder, our citizens must understand that those selected to make and administer the laws are not their masters or guardians, but directors or agents to execute the will of their principals, and in the selection of these agents they must be careful to choose those, and thoeeTonly, who have no personal interests adverse to those of their principals. If this principal bad in the past been recognized and acted upon, Congress and the legislative bodies would not, as now, be composed ot men interested in national banks, land grants, and other like schemes for their own personal aggrandizement. Oneot the legitimate functions as well as imperative duties of governments is the establishment of a just standard of distribution of capital and labor, and can not bo done by special legislation. The rights of property can only be protected by general laws. It is utterly impracticable for the government to have supervision over the individual agreements and business transactions in the nation. All it can or ought to do in this important matter, is to make such general laws lor the government of property as will naturally tend to effect its equitable distribution between capital and labor. Money is the medium of distribution lor capital and labor. ALL WEALTH OR PROPERTY is the product ot physical and intellectual labor, empjoyed in the production of industry and enterprise, as well as the useful callings aud professions, and there are but two purposes to which it can le applied. One is the payment of the rent or interest on capital, and tho other i3 the reward of in dustry and enterprise. In the present state of society, capital and labor are joint partners in tho pro duction of property, and tho rata of interest maintained on loanable capital determines what proportion of their joint production shall be awarded to the laborers for their services and what proportion to capital lor its use. When the rate of inter est on capital exceeds the average rate of in come by productive industry, the effect is to deprive the producing classes or what justiy belongs to them, and to bestow upon capitalists that to which thev have no equitable claim. I will add that all interest or rent paid tor the use of capital must. In the end, be born by labor, and in the end as much a charge upon the wealth producing element of the nation as ara the taxes paid for the support of the government, and that all that beyond such rate as will distribute property; equitably to capital or labor, according to the services performed in its production, is but a species of legalized robbery, for the government is morally bound to establish a just standard of distribution to capital or labor. But it may be asked, how are we to ascertain what would be an equitable rate of interest on money or loanable capital? I reply that as agriculture is the leading interest and foundation of national wealth, the increase in it may be accepted as the index to the increase in. all other departments of useful industry. An inventory of the forms and products of the agriculture of tho nation, as shown by the census reports for the three several dex'ades, ending respectively in 1850, 1SJ0 and 1S70, shows THE FOLLOWING FACTS. The total valuation of 18."K) was 4,207,751,473. In ISM they were $5,022,777, 154, giving a total increase in value during the decade of $l,755,025,6sl. In 1870 the total valuation was J"),28s,ll3,219, showing an increase in the succeeding decade of JitwTS.o.'. I am aware that tho rate of increase here shown is greatly lelow the general estimate, and that the census reports have been doctored so as to show a xuch greater rate of increase; but this is obtained by arbitrarily fixing a fictitious valuation on the several descriptions of property in the nation. This, I think, is fllacious, for the bushel of wheat will afford no more nourishment at two dollars than at one dollar; and so of all other this city on the 10th of June, 74, for auditor of State, and James Mitchell, the nominee for attorney general, have not accepted the nominations tendered them; and, whereas, they are now fully identified, and acting in harmony with one of the political parties declared by the Independent Convention to be, "as now organized, the engines of oppression, crushing out the lives of the people." Therefore, Resolved, That their places on the ticket be declared vacant. MR. SHEPLER SECEDES. At this juncture Mr. Ilenry Shepler arose in a greatly perturbed condition of mind. Hcannouneod his intention of withdrawing from the '-invention, and indignantly protested against the resolution. Ho thought it was all "cut and dried." Ho thought it wasthc"most outrageous thing that ever was." We ruled out, he said, all professional men on the 10th of June. He liked his old party. Thought it was infamous to throw Mr. Henderson off because he was an old democrat. He, the speaker, had never taken sides with any party. Was for the 1

farmer's movement, and wanted professional men left out, and farmers and laboring men represented. He said, as he advanced in good order down the main aisle, "that lie would not stay with a party that had shown themselves corrupt." Mr. Kilgore hero asked, "Won't you come back and stay with the convention?" Mr. Shepler stated explicitly that be would not. Mr. Pendleton thought that he (Shepler) was not made of the stutt that the true granger was compoMed of, and did not seem enthusiastic about Mr. S. rerunning longer. Mr. Buchanan hoped they would not allow anything to disturb the convention, bnt would proceed at onco to business. Mr. Shepler continued along down tho aisle, hurling hot shot into the enemy's camp at frequent intervals, and finally shook off the dust of the convention from" his feet, and fled into tho out door world, evidently disgusted with the summary manner in which Mr. Henderson had been disposed ol. Quiet was onco more restored and other gentlemen aired their views as follow: Judge Kilgore, of Delaware, requested that Mr. Henderson be called to the stage, that he might state on what platform lie stood. If be is in favor of the independent ticket and will work for it, let him sav so;

and if he is in favor of the democratic ticket and will work for it, let him say so. I, for one, say that if Mr. Henderson will pledge himself to work for the independent ticket I will support him. A. V. Pendleton, of Johnson, spoke next. He slid that be had worked with Mr. Henderson in the democratic party in times past, and was personally friendly to him. The ne sv parly had a record to make, acd it must start right. Tho independents have started out to break up tha old parties, on account or their corruption and worthlessness. It will not do now to take ud either daraocratic or republicm candid ttes. Mr. Henderson himself hid came to the speaker before the democratic o invention and told him thit he expected to get the nomination for the office of auditor from that body. Mr. Olleman thought the proposition of Mr. Kilgore would meet with the approval of everv right minded, man. He was in favor of Mr. Henderson's coming forward and defining his position. A PLAINTIVE PEORATION. Mr. Wyttenbach, of Vanderburg county, said the convention had the pledge of Mr. Henderson that ho was a farmer, but nothing further. He, for one, was not in favor of baing sold out by such men as Henderson and Riddle. Mr. Biddle had not sought either nomina tion, but Mr. Henderson had sought a nomi nation from the democratic partv, and thereby placed himself outside of the independent rrovement. He said further, as he clawed the atmosphere along the front of the stage. that he had heard Mr. Henderson's speech at the 10 th of June convention, but he was un able to understand the nature of his "exeeptation." Mr. W usod a good many other words to convey the idea that he was not a Henderson man, and finally subsided. The resolution which brought out so much "bit ter-swoet"in the way of discussion was then adopted. . On motion Dr. II. H. Morrison, of Putnam, was placed on tbc committee on resolutions in place of Mr. Shepler. The convention then adjourned until 2 o'clock, when they reassembled agiin und listened to a lengthy address by Alexander Campbell, ot L.a Salle, in. THE FINALE. After Mr. Campbell had read for an hour or two he kindly "let up" and did not finish the extensive document. The committee on nominations then reported the following changes and additions to their ticket: becletary of State, S. Bowles, of Fountain county: Auditor of State, D. J. Preseott, or i'osey county; Attorney General, Wil ham A. Peele, of ayne county; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Andrew II. Grabam, ot Bartholomew county, Upon motion of Mr. J. Buchanan, the central coinmtttee was empowered to ml all . vacancies In its membership. Mr, Buchanan also moved that the central committee be authorized to correspond with similar bodies in other States, with a view to the organization ot a national independ ent party. The motion gave Mr. Wyttenbach, of Jv ansville, another chance to get off another speech, which he delivered with great unc tion. The motion was carried. President Stevens stated that the party was sixty dollars in arrears for debts incurred in the June convention, as well as the rent of the hall used for the preseut meeting. He suggested that mem bers contribute to pav off the debts so in curred. The meeting having; dwindled down to half a dozen delegates and five re porters, it was aajourned sine die. THK NEW CANDIDATES. WHO THET ARE AND WHERE FROM. The first candidete on the new list, chosen to fill the place of Noyes White, Secretary of Slate, is SAMUEL BOWLES. He is well known in Fountain county, and for that matter throughout the State as well. He is about 43 years of age, and is an energetic, wide awake man. His profession might be stated to be, to save souls, drive a life insurance business, and entertain congressional aspirations. His record is democratic, in fact "copperheadish," but voted the Greeley ticket in 1872. Is said to be a strong man in his section of the country ,and will, it is said, run well as a candidate. D: J. TRESCOTT, candidate for auditor of State, is a resident of Posey county. He is on the shady side ot 30,and is a farmer,though he has had considerable experience as a school teacher in bis earlier days. His record is of the republican stripe, added to which is that of being a son of Mais, having served in the war of the rebellion. He, too, is considered a "strong" nominee, especially in his own county. WILLIAM A. PKKLE, of Wayne county, the nominee for attorney general, is about fiity-five years old. His occupation was at one time that of a farmer, though the law now claims him as its own, was secretary ot state in ls30, and served as judge of the criminal court of Wayne county. His record smacks strongly of republicanism, and he is further distinguished as being a "Morton pet." His aspirations for ollice and position in tho errand army have not, it is said, met with gratifying success, and he has this year turned from his old party to the independent ranks. He resides in Centerville, and lays claim to a large constituency. ANDREW H. GRAHAM, Candidate for superintendent of public instruction, who will solicit tho votes of Bartholomew and adjoining counties, is a resident of Columbus, of about .'55 years of ajc, and has been engaged In the profession of teaching for a number of years, at preseut being at the head of the schools of the above county. The index finger traces on his chart long republican line, but of late this lias berm crossed by an independent mark. He is a pushing, energetic man, and will, it is affirmed, make a vigorous fight. Cincinnati is to have a new postofliee and customhouse after all. The rickety structure at the corner of Vine and Fourth streets has outlived its usefulness, and will be replaced by a handsome business structure. The cost of the new government building is limited to ? 3,500,000.

HOME AND FARM. When it becomes theambition ot the'farmer er to get the most possible from the least possible area of land, then farming will pay. Do folks who bring liftle, half grown chickens to market chuckle that it is a cheat or do they not? In most cases it is a deliberate swindle. The experience of last year in this State demonstrated that it Is bad economy to sow wheat broadcast. The gain in one crop will sometimes pay for a drill when that invaluable implement is used. It is very disheartening to visit a farmhouse which makes a grand show at a distance, and find all the grounds around it filled with ragweed, jimsoiu, dog fennel and cockle-burrs. A clean sward and close lawn are as becoming iu their way as a clean face. Some one writes: I am told by one who has tried it that a strong tea of quassia sweetened with molasses will kill Hies, and has the advantage of not being a deadly poison. It is said, too, that horses washed with a tea made of quassia will not be tor1 1 .1 : t.

Look over and put Into your glass sauce dish tho best sweet black raspberries crushing them as little as possible. Thni smash and strain halt as mary ripe red curreuts. Add sugar to the juice of these until quite sweet, and wnenit is wen aissoived pour it over the "black caps," and let them stand an hour or two. Serve lor after dinner dessert, or for sauce at any time. Wnor.TLERERRY Bread Pcdding. Take stale batter biscuit and steam or soak in a little water until quite soft. Then crumble finely and place a layer half an inch thick in a nappy, and over that place a Uyer of juicy n uuiucuuir ics. npnu.i0 over me latter sugar enough to sweeten them, aud then a layer of bread crumbs, so alternating until the uisn is lull. Bake halfan hour or more. occording to the size of the dish and the heat of the oven. The Rural New-Yorker says: Off with your hat, my boy, when you enter the house. Gentlemen never keep their bats on in the presence of ladies, and if you always take yours off when mamma and the girls are by, you will not forget yourself or be mortified when a guest or stranger happens to De in i ne parlor, tiabit is stronger tnan anything else, and you will always find that the easiest way to make sure of doing right on all occasions is to get in the habit of doing right. Good manners can not be put on at a momeLt's warning. Red Current Jet.lv. Put your currants in a bell-metal kettle and scald them well ; when cool press them through a sieve, get ting out all the juice, but be careful not to allow any skin cr seeds to pass through the sieve: measure the juice and put it back again in the kettle and let it boil bard for five or six minutes, skimming it well ; then add, while on the fire boiling, one pouud of sifted loaf sugar to every pint of juice; stir till dissolved, ami then it is done and ready to put into the tumblers. It has the Havoc of the fruit, and is a beautiful light color. It will keep lor years if necessary. Stiam Power. Moore's Rural insists: We mus . and will come to it. The coming agricult uralist will as surely employ steam power in the prosecution of farm operations as the manufacturer now does. 'The old water powor is almost extinct. Horse power on the best cultivated farms will in the next halt cautury give place to steam to a large extent. It is as sure to happen as that mowing machine, reapers, horse rakes, pitchforks and tedders now supplant the old processes. Mark the prediction ! How to Exclude the Air. The Boston Journal of Chemistry says that a tin tube made like a siphon, driven into the vent of a barrel of wine or cider and the other end inserted into a vial of water, will prevent the air irom entering the barrel while the gas escapes through the water. Make the barrel otherwise tight. When the cider or wine is done working, the water in the bottle will cease bubbling. It requires no filling up, as there is no loss. That plants none the worse for being old. Grind the Knives. F. D. Curtis says In the Tribune: I desire to call attention to an important fact which was demonstrated at a recent trial of mowing machines at Poughkeepsie, under the auspices of the American Institute. By a careful dianometer test it was found that the draft of each machine was nearly one-third greater when the knives were dull, and in tnis test the knives were only moderately dull, having been used to mow but one acre. It is thus clearly shown that it is all-important to keep the knives sharp, and thereby materially lessen the labor of the horses used in mowing or reaping, and also reduce the strain and wear proportionally of the machines. Peach Marmalade. Now Is the time for this lesson: We took the small and imperfect clings, as they would not admit of being removed from the stone in pieces of uniform size and shape, pared them, and, after cutting from the stone, placed in a porcelain kettle with one pint of water to two quarts ot fruit; boiled until bo ft; took off and put through a sieve with a wooden potatato smasher. Then returned to the kettle, adding one pint of sugar to every quart of prepared fru'.t; brought to a boil and sealed while hot. It can be sealed without the addition ot the sugar, and when eaten let it be sweetened with white sugar to the taste, and it greatly resembles fresh peaches. Pruning Rose Bushes. The Fruit Recorder says: The best time to prune what are termed "garden roses" is immediately after flowering, which is generally about the middle of this mouth. Cut mit all exhausted wood, and, where too thick and crowded, shorten those shoots which have flowered to a good, fresh, strong eye or bud, accompanied with a. healthy leaf, but leaving untouched such shoots as are still in a growingcondition, except where they are b3coming irregular. Such should bo cut to the desired shape. There is not a better period of the year for putting these bushes in handsome order. All wood that grows after this pruning will ripen perfectly, and produce fine flowers next year. Cranberry Crop in Wisconsin. A couple of weeks ago, says the Milwaukee Journal of Commerce, the cranberry crop gave promiso of abundant yield. Now roports come from the principal districts devoted to its culture stating that the crop will be a total failure. The cranberry worm has devastated the marshes around Berlin, and the excessive heat has ruined the prospects of even an average crop in the vicinity of Grand Rapids. The latest advices received from tho marshes in Burnett county were ol a f ivorablo character, and there was every reason to expect an abundant vield; but possibly by this time they have shared the same fate of marshes ia the eastern and central parts ot the State. This ia the third year of the failure in the cranberry crop, and we fear it will strike a seyere, if not fatal, blow to that branch of business in this State. Keeping Winter Apples. A member

of the Michigan Pomolocricnl Socip-tv at at

at the late Adrian meeting, that ho was very successful in keeping winter app'es, and had secured sound fresh fruit in Mav by the following treatment: He picks the fruit in October,anc! planes it in heaps in the orchard, covering them with hay. These heaps remain untouched till DeceinU c, the slight moisture ot the earth and the few inches of hay preventing any injury to tho apploä, even during sharp freezes. They are iben assorted and packed In barrels which, after heading up. aro placed in a cold cellar which is kept at a temperature of about :J2, and if it should happen to le a few degrees lower for a short time, the protection of tha barrels will prevent any injury. They come out sound in spring. " Plea for Hard Water. The Rural has found an M. D. who states: It has been incontestibiy shown that in mountainous dis- j tricts, where the water is more or less hard, the innabitanis exhibit the best physical de velopment. On the other hand it is believed that in large cities the mortality is inversely as the hardness of water supplied to the inhabitants. A gallon which contains about six grains of carbonate of lime to the gallon is suitable for use in all household purposes. As a drmtc aud for -ookinir food. such a water offers the nee?ssary carboualo of lime for the support of life in the sim plest, most natural, and most easily di gested form, and is at the same time more agreeable, freh and sparkling. It is evidTit that our preconceived popular notions on the subject of hard water need revising, and that it may be better to usn such water than to have recourse to rain or ice water. Balky Horses. The Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Animals, puts forth a set of rules for the treatment of balky horses. 1. Pat the horse upon tho neck; examine the harness carefully, lirst on on9 side and then on the other, s'peaking encouragingly while doing so; then jump into the wation and give the word go; generally he will obey. 2. A teamster In Maine says he can start fhe worst balky horse bv talking him out of the sbalts and making mm go around in a circle till he is giddy. If the 'first dance of this sort doesn't cure him, the second will. 3. To cure a balky horse, simply pla-e your hand over the horse's nose and shut off his wind until he wants to go. 4. The brain of a horse seems to entertain but one idea at a time; therefore continued whipping o.ily confirms his stubborn resolve. If you can, by any means, give bim a new subject to think of, . you will generally have no trouble In starting mm. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine around the loreleg, just below the knee, tight enough for tho horse to feel, and tie in a bow knot. At the first check he will generally go dancing oil, and after going a short distance you can get out and remove the string, to prevent injury to the tendon in your' further drive. ". Take the tail ot the horse between the bind legs, and tie it by a cord in the saddle girth. 6. Tie a string around the horse's ear, close to hid head. THE MORNING GLORIES. god's benediction to the poor. The following, contributed by Helen V. Austin to the Richmond Independent, is too good to stop In that little paper: How prodigal is nature in her gifts, in adorning the world! Take for an example the common convolvulus. If, perchance, a few seeds are In the ground, in due time they germinate with all the faith that is in them, and timidly unfold a pale green pair of leaves to" breathe with, which are as much the shape of lungs as any thing else. Then the stem, that curls, and twines, and reaches out for something to cling to, putting forth as it grows dark, green, heartshaped leaves. Our grandmothers used to have strings for the morning glories," to "run up" besida the window and porch, and though we think the vines prefor the strings, yet they will press in their service anything that gives them supjiort. The dear old fashioned grandmothers used to plant scarlet beans with the morningclories ; they would grow together like one j family, and what a shade, and what a lovely, luxuriant display of green leaves and many colored flowers they had ! shade and beauty, utility and adornment in the 'common things; and so it is the beautiful will cover deformities and rough places if we will give it half a chance. The little stem of small beginning, grows and trrows in the sunlight and the rain, and ein ks to its secret heart and tho ear of nature, the mysterious impulsss of its lifo. Every time it completes a circle in its spiral crrowtb. it puts forth a leaf and a stem with flower buds tiny things at first in a few days beautiful, delicately hued cones resembling a certain kind ol shell , twisted and tiifhtly sealed. We eat and sleep; we live in peace or discontent; we grumble at the rain and sunshine and the dews of night. The convolvulus is growing. It has covered the abrupt corners and wreathed the uncomely trellis; it has climbed to the top of the porch and hangs in graceful lestoons over the old eaves trough; it has completely draped the window and reached over to the Ieaohtree. The sunflower, with its crown of gold, looks all the more grand and tropical, becauss of the graceful clingiDg vine. The convolvulus, though it ha? been steadily growing, suddenly surprises the world with Its splendid beauty. In the darkness and dews of night it has been getting ready, ac cording to its own way, for a grand display after sun rise. Then the little coues are un twisted and the beaut which was hidden is revealed; each one different, yet all alike. A new revelation has come with the opening day, we are startled by a new creation, tnough we have seen its types a thousand times before. We stand enchanted and think we are children again, and peep into the bells, wondering if the fairies inhabit them yet. The vine with its varied and many hued llf wers has brought forth patterns for vases and lace work, and all manner can be perfectly copied. The time of small beginnings is past; the secret of the germ is told: beauty overhangs and covers every thing, and it is indeed, the "glory of the morning.' COWARDICE AND COURAGE. TOO MEAN TO L1VB A WHITE RASCAL WHO CAUSES THE DEATH OF MANT PASSENGERS A COWARD ON I WARD THE PAT. ROGERS. The Courier-Journal contains the following account of acts of infamy and bravery, connected with the burning of the Pat Rogers: In our notices of the late disaster to the steamer Pat Rogers, we have given many instances of heroism on the part ot officers, crew and passengers. But there was ono instance of such brutal cowardice that the story of its details will hardly be believed. We have the facts from sources whoso truthfulness can not be dou'eted, and which demand a more elaborate account than that clven in our river columns this morning. After Charlie Dufour, who was at the wheel at the time of the disaster, found it impossible to longer control the boat, and with the llamcs rapidly nearing his post of duty, he ran down stairs to the passenger deck. The passengers men. women and children, who had escaped from the cabin were gathered In a group, with many members of the crew and deck passengers, at the bow of the boat on the lower deck. Dufour found that the large lifeboat, which is placed bottom upward, just outside ol the guards

on the cabin deck, had not been launched, fie quickly turned it over, caught hold of the lone "painter," the other end of which was attached to the bow of tho lifeboat, and shoved It over into the water. It struck fairlv upon the water and floated buoyantly and without having shipped an ounce of water. It was capable of holding eighteen or twenty persons, and

tiu ii, every one or the wcir.eu and children congregated at the bow of th hrt oi,M have been saved. The boat was launched just forward ot ihr whepi-hrmBfl. Still keeping his end of the rope, Dufour ran im it toward me now, dragtnng the boat with him through lhe water. It must be remembered that Dufour nn tha KAAnnil deck, those whom he meant to rescue being on the deck below him. 1 n a moment more tha boat would have been witnia reach of the EAGER HANDS AND BRAVE HEARTS who were waiting to seize it, place the women and children it it and send them to shore and to safety. Bat when within ten or twelve feet of the expectant group, a white man and a negro jumped in, and, before; they could ba prevented, cut the rope and pushed the boat out into the stream. The negro seems to have made some remonstrance, towhich the white scoundrel replied, "Shut yonr mouth, d d vou. or I'll break your bead." Df-af to the cries of the shrieking women and children, thus cut off from the rescue which was near; unmindful of the demands of the men to return and Baothe helplrss ones, tho cowardly brnte rowed rapidly to the shore, and, reaching it safely, pulled the boat up upon the bank and, it is supposed, fled to the woods. By its first trip twenty of the women and children could have been taken to shore. Using this large boat afterward, many of those struggling In the water, drowning one by one because help could not 1 had, would have been rescued. We have accounts of fifty deaths by the disaster. Thirty or them, it is confidently asserted, could have been averted had this lifeboat been put to its proper use. We are not informed whether the name of this wretch is known. We suppose that some one of those who witnessed his cowardly act recognized him. If so, it is due to the public, far the honor of manhood, that bis name should be published far and wide, that the execration of the world mav follow him to his grave, It there be no other punishment possible in his case. Does any officer of the boat, or does any of those saved, know the man? A BRAVE LITTLE GIEL. A gentleman who was on the ill-fated Pat Rogers states that while he was stand ing on the forward part of the boat, making ready to spring into the water, he heard one of the officers of the boat teil a lady, who was standing near him with a little girl, tha the time had come when she must trust herself to the water. The ladv, turning to her little daughter, inquired if she could summon the courage to jump into the water. The little girl glanced at the approaching' llames, then at the water, and responded in a firm voice that she would jump If her mother would follow her. The mother asuted her that she would leap in after her. Theofiicer threw a mattress overboard and told the little girl to jump toward it. Without a moment's hesitation the heroic child leaped into the dark and swiftly gliding water; the mother instantly followed, but both at once sunk to rise no more. There were grown women and even strong men who shrank hack from the whirling waters, almost preferring to perish in the flames to trusting themselves to its treacherous embrace. But this brave child saw the situation, and, appreciating the only means of escape, presented, bade her mother lollow, and boldly flung herself into the raging Hood. Such heroic resolution is not often exhibited, and the world has lost a courageous woman in this dead child. NORTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY.
