THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL ..TUESDAY. OCTOBER 27.. 1874.

TIIE BATIFICATIOX.

.THE SPEAKERS AND SPEECHES. THEIR An Impromptu but an Enthusiastic Jollification. WHAT WAS SAID. , . THE AFFAIR II TER STATE HOUSE YARD LAST SIGHT-THE CROWDS IN ATTEND Alf CE BONFIRES AND FIREWORKS OHIO'S GREET INO TO INDIANA, ETC, ETC. The jollification last night was an impromptu affair, gotten up at a moment's warning as it were, as it was not the intention cf the executive committee' to jubilate last night, that they doing bo as announce ments had already been made that the celebration would take place. The State house yard was well filled, however, and everything passed off enthusiastically. A platform was erected in front of the south portion of the State house for the speakers and reporters. Around on three sides werehnng rows of Chinese lanterns. A little before 8 o'clock began an extensive pyrotechnic display on Washington street in front of the State house yard. In a half hour the Bky was lighted with the blaze of rockets, and the red glare of Bengal lights cast a beautiful reflection over the trees and all surrounding objects. 'Tbe rockets red glare, bombs bursting In air." were not wanting, and the lirst part of the jollification, the pyrotechnic display was admired by hundreds of people in the surrounding streets and buildings. A little after 8 o'clock a long procession of carriages, each adorned with Chinese lanterns, riled around from Washington on NorthTennessee street. In them were Gov. Ilen--dricks and speakers of the evening and prominent democratic gentlemen. Following the , carriages were a large number of wagonsj with rows of Chinese lanters, filled with enthusiastic people. A beautiful sight was presented as they passed around the State house square, headed by a fine band. At the southern entrance to the State house yard t .e head of the procession stopped, and, amidst the cheers of the multitude (now filling- the yard and extending out into tne surrounding streets) the glare of red lights of rockets, and headed by the band the speakers of the occasion passed up to the stand. From there the scene was brilliant in the extreme. The bonfires lighted up with a glow the faces and forms of the vast crowd. After the speakers were seated the band played a lively air, after which Mr. Byfield, secretary of the democratic county committee, - stepped forward and said this was a ratification of the people, not a democratic one. For to the people we owe to a great extent the victory of last Tuesday and it accordingly was nut a partisan one in any sense. lie then introduced Gov. Hendricks, who made one of his t .blest speeches and was cheered at the conclusion of almost every sentence. THE OOVERNOR'3 SPEECH was a? follows: Getlemen and Fellow Citizens : You will c xcuse me if I occupy your time for a very few moments. I have been busy to day in attending to affairs called forth by the disturbance in the northern part of the State, and am not prepared to speak to 3011 at leegth. I have received from the lion. John G. Thompson, the chairman of the democratic committee of Ohio, the following dispatch: "The democracy of Ohio congratulate the democracy of Indiana upon their grand vic tory of last Tuesday, and send as greeting 15,000 democratic majority and the election of 13 democrats to the next Congress." I ask that you will make the reply, and I propose the following resolution: Kesolved, That we rejoice in the fact that the democracy of Ohio and Indiana stand side by side equal victors in the struggle of 1ST4 against centralism, usurpation, and for the maintenance of tne true and constitu tional relations between federal and State authority, and for the restoration of pure and cood government. And to the democ racy of other States, whose elections are yet to transpire, we send sentiments of cheer and encouragement. The resolution 1 was received with hearty cheers, and, on motion of the governor, as enthusiastically adopted. The governor then said: I do not appear with you, my fellow citizens, this evening, ior the purpose of expressing gratification at the deleat of the republican candidates. In respect to some of them, it was a painful duty TO LABOR FOR THEIR DEFEAT. For the gentlemen with whom I have been associated in the administration of State af fairs, I have a iigh personal regard. They are capable and efficient officers, and worthy citizens. I said this in substance to the convention that nominated our ticket; but I also said that "tbey represent political doctrines which we believe to be dangerous, and of evil tendency, and a political party not worthy the confidence and support of tne people; a party tnat should no longer regulate the policies of the country, or control the administration of its affairs. Their election would bo an Indorsement of those doctrines and of that party and would be construed as the judgment 0; the people that tnere should be no change, but that we are to go on in the future aa in the past, and I said, therefore, that they should be defeated or believed that tbey would be. The result is a sweeping, almost complete change in the State. On the State ticket, eight of the 13 members of Congress, and a major ity in the legislature upon joint ballot is the result in Drier.' This election is A GRAND TRIUMPH in Indiana and (as I said in the resolution) in the great State of Ohio. I think the ma jority will yet prove to be 18,000; that we shell have a majority In the legislature on joint ballot, and eight out of 13 members of Congress. So for the first time in many years the voice or Indiana is in the majority As to the reasons of our victory, some give one reason, some another. Some say it is owiDg to the extreme temperance mem bers of the republican party ; some that it was the crusaders of last summer. Laugh ter. I think the reason is that the people of Indiana and the whole country thiDk there ought to be a change in party and politics. They think that corruption Is run ning through tho federal government, and that the republican party should be turned out. and one put in to conduct it on princi pies of honesty and instlce. When the war closed everyone hoped for the restoration of the South For several years the republican party claimed they would restore it, but now they say It is WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE. I want to see the South placed in the hanuä of its own people, without the aid of the eun and the bayo net, and on the democratic idea that this is the peopl'es government (Lioud cheering.) The republican party maae capital out of the southern troubles Now I want to see a rartv whose gain in this respect shall be founded on the restora tion of tne south. Four months ago, you will remember, th republican convention was held in the Acade emy 01 Music, and was presided over bv disticguisbed person, who said tho demo crane party lad leen long uea

anu buried, Lut was going to

be resurrected. And in scriptural phrase this gentleman asked, 'in what body will it come forth?" (Lacghter.) Let him look over this crowd to-night, over Marion county and the State of Indiana, and then answer the question himself. (Cheers.) It has come forth in a giant body, clothed in life and full of immortality. The Governor concluded by exhorting the party to remember that with power came responsibility; that tbey. must look to the proper execution of law; that in the compensation of officials no man most take a single dime more than was legally and morally his. The people must be on the watch, and see that the laws were excuted with justice and honesty. The governor was lustily cheered, the band played "Red, White and Blue," and Mr. Byfield introduced the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, prefacing it by saying he was to introduce one of the liveliest corpses of the democratic party, and that on the 4th of March next Mr. Daniel Pratt would step

down and out and Mr. McDonald step In. Cheers. HIS ADDRESS. Mr. McDonald said that though he was always in the midst of the conflict, he never felt much like fighting after the victory was won. , When the contest had closed he had to return to the courts, where important business was demanding his attention. lie said the governor had just told them of the general result of - w the victory, but he himself wished to speak of some of the special ones. The democratic party bad been victorious not withstanding the odds against them. lie aluded to the frauds by which the republican party had before carried the State; of the shameless gerrymandering for this same end. We have elected, he continued, 8 out of 13 members, and in districts which the repub licans bad never beiore thought possible; and of the other five republican me-nbers elected one had received a majority oi less than 100, and another less than 200. The re publicans had endeavored to gerrymander Ilolman out, and even now if they "had a republican governor and legislature they would call a special session to gerrymander Ilolman's opponent in. The only way they could accomplish this would be to set od Dearborn county into Kentucky, and even then, on second thought, said the speaker.he would there be ineligible. But this victory, he continued, has not been achieved by democratic votes aJone, but by those not satisfied with the party in power. lie was In favor or a good administration and government. The election over, our duty from this time on is to see that all the aflairs of state are honestly administered. The election also shows the confidence peo ple nave in us in electing tne democratic party. Now as to these districts lormerly republi can, tney must come in according to the pop ular vote, and Dot to secure partisan votes. The speaker, referring to the Southern trou bles, said that as far as our candidates in Congress are concerned, they have the power, and should do everything to over throw that which is dwarfing the energies of tho Southern States. The republicans cave promiso nine years ago that we should have peace, but uow it is worse than before. You will recollect that only a little while ago Gov. Morton, in Masonic Hall, said if the Southern people kept on as tbey have, tbey must feel the smart of power, and blood must be shed if necessary to secure peace. If in nine years the republican party can not restore peace, hadn't tney better step down and out, and let somebody take their places? .Referring to the COMINO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, the speaker said: in ten years 1 pre dict that a man selected by the democratic party as their stand ard bearer, will be nominated by that party from Indiana; and also that he will pass from the executive chair of state TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CHAIR. Cries of Hendricks, Hendricks. . Yes, said Mr. M.. you have guessed right, it is Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks. fRenewed cheers.l Further, said the speaker, two years from now wnere we now nave tens in ma jorities we will have hundreds; and thou sanas wnere we nave nun areas now: and Hendricks will be on his way to the White House. I regret to say that shall only have twenty years to live under his administration. "Cheers. After music by the band, the next speaker Mr. Byheid introduced was Mr. Frank Landers. The latter, in response, said am here to thank all you democrats who stood by me in the election as one man; and also to those liberals who, with those republicans not satisfied, aided me; and I should be doing an injustice if I did not thank those who went away from their party to vote for me. Now as to others who aided us in gaining this election. Gen. Grant was one, when he vetoed the finance bill. All over this district were republicans who sep arated from their party n this account. The people wanted more money and Grant vetoed the only bill which would have given it; and Mr. Coburn, when he undertook to defend that bill he found it up hill work. Another reason, of the success is that the democratic party came boldly forward and declared against the national banks, and wanted greenbacks substituted for currencv. I told the people if they wanted to support banks that cost them t-1,000,000, they had better vote for Coburn. f Cries of "but we didn't, etc." OUR TLATF0RM DECLARES in favor of a repeal of the inlauitous law of 'G9, and a change to a paper instead of a gold obligation. When I got to Congress I shall cast my vote in favor of the repeal of that law. Now, as to another question. I am in favor of political rights for all, but opposed to a law forcing blacks and whites to the same social equality. Mr. Landers here referred to the "mule story," which was first brought up by Mr. Coburn. If, said Mr. Landers, I had had a blacksmith shop in every township in the district, I would have beaten Mr. Coburn by 5.000 majority at least. Speaking of the meeting, he said it was a difficult thing for the democrats to get one up in style, as they had forgotten how, and were not used to it. Since eighteen years ago, when they were victorious, they had not had many meetings. Ever since that time they have always prepared to go up salt river. Now the republicans are more used to getting up these meetings and they should have come over and aided us In eettinsr it up. I have been used to this trip up " Salt river," and no man is better able to take it than he who is ON A MULE HIGH SHOD. I will have one shod high and ready for Mr. Coburn to take this trip. (Laughter and cheers.) The people wanted to purify the republican party ana tnougnt tne best way was to send them up Salt river. You all know as a man grows poor he grows honest; and so with the republican party; a few more trips of this sort, and they will become more pur inea and more nonest. 1 tnauic you, my friends, for the honor conferred on me by vou in the election. In sending me from this district. I am proud to represent this, the best district in Indiana a district with four of the richest and most productive counties in the State, and containing the greatest commercial metropolis of Indiana. As to the soldiers, let me say to them that I thank them for tbeir support, and I will not lortt them. The federal government

can not ao too mucn ior tne man wno leu his home, who was wounded and returned home a cripple, and I shall sustain the bill

for an equalization of soldiers' bounties. As to the petitions sent to the legislature, everyone that was written in proper terms and respectfully, was received. There were some that the soldiers had never set their eyes on: they had been written and sent by politicians. I offered, said the speaker, to GIVE COBURN -15 MINUTES to read them, but he wouldn't do it. They were such as could not have been read In the lowest saloon In yonr city. Now, I voted for every measure that Morton did. and please tell me why is his "record" good and mine bad? I'll tell you. It's because I voted the democratic ticket and he the republican. Cries of that's so. in concluding Air. lenders said, when 1 get to Congress there will be one man who will not uphold Wall street, or the manufacturers of New England, against the inter ests of the West. Vociferous cheering. The band played "Hail Columbia," during which loud calls were made for Neff and Dave S. Gooding. The former was not present, but the latter, stepping forward, said: I came here to-night not to speak, but to rejoice with you. I was hero in vour city several years ago, when a president of the "United States was mobbed, and when a democrat could not safely declare his sentiments. I rejoice to-night, not so much that Indiana is redeemed. but that the democratic party is redeemed, in Indiana and Ohio as well. Cheers. ljet an tne people rejoice for this trinmDh wilt be for the trood ot the whole people and the country. We are not going to have economy, retrenchment and reform under a democratic administration right away, but wait two years and we will nave it. I Cheers. I wnen we come into power we will legislate for fair play for the laboring men ot the country, and not for monopoly. Since the government came into the hands ot the republicans, it has been run in the interest of capital against labor. There are four giant monopolies in this country to-day. Banking, railroads, capital and the New England manufactur ere. Now I'm in favor of giving capital fair play, but not against labor. I am here to night continued the speaker, as a democrat and a granger; and am none the less democrat for being a granger f Cries of that's so and none the lets a granger for being a democrat. Mr. Gooding alluded to tne bang ing law, and said they would repeal it when they (the democracy) got into power. He continued for some length in a humorous manner, after which Mr. J. P. Wright and Mr. Smiley, of Putnam county, addressed the crowd in pertinent and vigorous speeches. The meeting then broke up with cheers for Hendricks and the triumph of the democratic party. CARPET-BAG VARIETIES. THE COMMERCIAL SORT THE ARKANSAS GE NUS POKER JACK M'CXURE HIS INTER VIEW WITH LANDAULET WILLIAMS. Buell, of the St. Louis Republican, writes from Chattanooga to his paper: As to the genus carpet-bagger, there are several species, nearly all of which are represented by types In this convention. The best known species is that represented here by Spencer, of Alabama, tne type to wnicn Jveiiogg, Moses, and that ilk belong that is to say. what might be called the commer cial carpet-bagger. Their peculiarities are too well known to require recaplt ulation. Then there is the fighting carpetbagger. This animal is radically distinct from the commercial species, and'has never flourished outside the State of Arkansas. As a rule, the carpet-bagger of the South has numbered among his distinctive traits the rankest cowardice and personal poltroonery. He has been adroit at manipulating the votes and moulding tha opinions of the colored brother.. He has affected religion and philanthropy. He has managed to present himself to the gaze ot the people of the North in the attitude of a martyr. But he has always been a non-combatant. A whiff of smoke sends him hustling into the nearest custom house. A half dozen boys out on a fox hunt terrify him into calling for "more troops." And so on. Tbis is is the sort of carpet-bagger wo find in Patterson and Moses and Kellogg and Spencer. But the Arkansas carpet-bagger is a different breed altogether. He affects neither religion nor philanthropy. A bar dened sinner, he glories in bis depravity and scoffs at hypocrisy. But he has nerve and is game. There is McClure, Poker Jack they call him, a perfect type of the Arkansas carpet-bagger. The best il lustration I can give ot McClure's character is by describing an Inter view between him and Attorney Gen. Williams last winter. afte'r the administration had acted in favor o Baxter. McClure came to Washington with his blue eyes full of blood. The opinion 01 the attorney-general had struck him in the region of the diaphragm, and to say he was mad would be to draw it very mild. He went up to the department of justice and demanded to see Williams. That functionary received him. "I am Chief " Justice McClure of Arkansas," he began, "and I have read your opinion on the case recently decided by the president. Now. sir, I wish to say that the papers on which you based your opinion and which you refer to as having been certified to you by the clerk of my court are either forged or garbled." "what do you say, sir 7 asked THE ASTOUNDED ATTORNEY GENERAL. He had been accustomed to the behavior of the lackey on the part of the traditional carpet-bagger, but there was one playing the bully. It was incomprehensible to the attorney general. "I say, sir," replied the imperturbable McClure, "that I believe those papers are either forged, or that new matter has been interpolated in them; and I say further, sir, that the reputation of your department and the known character of yourself incline me to the belief that these frauds have been enacted in your office and by your instigation or connivance." "What do you mean, sir?" gasped the breathless Williams. "I mean just what I say" replied McClure. still as cool as a re frigerator, "and I want to see the originals of those papers which you claim naveDeen certified to you by the clerk of my court." "I have sent them to the Senate, sir," said Williams. "You talk like a man who is lying," paid McClure. "In fact, sir, I believe you are lying. Not to put too fine a point upon it, you are a d d liar, sir. Original papers are never sent to the Senate or the House except by special demand tor them. The resolution of the Senate in regard to these papers called for copies, and copies were sent. You do not wish me to see the originals, sir, for fear that I will detect the interpolations that have been perpetrated in your office. I believe you have been bought up in this matter, sir." At this Williams turned and left the room. His chief clerk then came up to McClure and said: "I regard your remarks as a personal insult to myself." "Go to h 1!" said McClure. "You don't know the difference between an insult and an apology. There is not a man in this department who is capable of resenting anything. Don't talk to me at all, sir." Then Poker Jack stroked his long board, walked ud and down the room for a few minutes and took his leave. Well, that is the sort of carpet baggers the people of Ar kansas have to deal with. Men who Know neither scruple, compunction, nor fear. They mean to revolutionize the 8tate over again. They are proceeding about in a very systematic way. Ana tney win mase a deal of trouble before they are disposed of.

HOME AND FARM.

N. C. Meeker writes the New York Tri bune that tha Delaware grape is grasshopper I proof. Those scourges touch neither the eaf nor fruit. The season has now arrived when good butter can be made in Indiana. Whoever fails now does so through Ignorance or careessness. ine latter Is really the principal cause. Isaac Adams, the printing press man, has conceived the novel idea of raising a forest in his native village. East Moultonborougb, N. II., and has purchased the entire title of th little place. An exchange says: Thirty cents per pound is offered for Connecticut seed to bacco on the poles, and there is a lively speculation going on In this staple, owing to tue snort crop or Kentucky. The buyers are said to be exporters for Havana and Hamburg, where the stock is made un and sold for pure "Havana" and then imported by us. What unprejudiced and discriminat ing men smokers must be! President Clark, of the Amherst Agriculral College, corresponding with a friend, writes: "I have a squash in harness to test ts expansive power. It has already lifted 1,100 pounds, and is now under the nresure of 1,200 pounds, which I doubt not will be :aised before morning. It has crowds of visitors, and the wisest among them stand in awe as they see how wonderfully the vital force controls the chemical and physi cal forces in its desperate efforts to accom plish its mission in building a squash." Speaking of the Colorado fair Mr. Meeker, the founder of the Greeley colony, says: This has been a grasshopper year. For sev eral weeks during August and September these insects or animals or birds covered the farms to the amount of forty or fifty bushels to the acre, and one would suppose that the vegeiaDie ana norai display would have been nsignincant, but on the contrary It was ex ceedingly fine. Squashes, turnips, beets potatoes, and all such things were abundant and large. The Early Rose potato is the universal favorite. but no success is bad with t unless planting is done In the first Dart of June. A lady who has lately undertaken a school in the country writes that everything is hopeful in the prospect, but she says: "I don't know just what I am to live on." The family with whom she boards depend mainly for subsistence upon the dead bodies of the festive swine, and the young woman abhors a pork dier. There are extreme views on tbis subject in both directions. In farm life it is necessary to use some pork, a good deal of it, in fact. But a constant and indiscriminate diet of pork is an awful outrage on the human system, physically, mentally and morally. The everlasting fry of hog is enough to degrade the noblest of God's creation, and it does. Fancy Grajes. For those who desire to oner an embellished dish of iced grapes the following are the directions how to do It: Take large bunches of ripe grapes and re move any that are imperfect; tie a string in a loop to ine top oi me stem; Btrain into a 1 1. iL. A -441 - . . . deep dish, a sufficient quantity of white of egg; dip tne buncbes ot grapes Into it, im mersmg them thoroughly; then drain and 11 A. 1 - - 1 m . ron mem in a man oi powuerea loai sugar until they are completely coated with it, using your fingers to spread sugar between the grapes; hang up the bunches by the strings, in a warm piaco, tin tne icing is en tireiy ury. eena mem to tne table, at a party, in a glass dish. A Monster Af-fle Trek. One likes to read aboutjthe immense apple trees which are a part of the home memories. Tho South Ber.d Tribune speaks of one: Thomas Dun Dam ana wiie returned rnursaay rrom a visit of some weeks to Northumberland. Pa. Mr. Dunham brought back with him a large and handsome apple as a memento from a noted tree standing in that place. It is in the yard of G. Xverd, and is 100 years old. Its night is 60 feet, and four or five feet from the ground its circumference is ten feet and five inches. So long ago as 1S46 it bore 50 bushels of fruit, 26 of the apples filling a half bushel measure, une oi them weighed 24 ounces. Its yield this year will not fall short of 40 busnels. Thx Mad Itch. Some folks don't know what this terrific, fatal disease of cattle is nor how it originated. The following writ ten in reply to an inquiry throws light on the subject: It is known with us as the mad itch or dry murrain. The animal will often ruD tne nesn on tne head, ana l have seen them where the sight was also destroyed, in their attempt to allay the itching. After death (if be will go to the trouble to ex amine) he will Una the many folds ot the stomach completely closed so there is no natural action. The remedy is one quart of castor oil, and if this does not givo relief repeat until relief is obtained. The cause is feeding on dry feed without sufficient water; often where hogs have been fed on green corn-stalks. A good Absorbent. It is pretty discour aging to say anything about economy in manures and fertilizers in Indiana when al moat everything of the kind is recklessly thrown away. Bat the following from the American Agriculturist is good and may be noted by some man of sense who has a garden: Road-dust should be gathered before the season closes. This is the most convenient absorbent the farm er can command, and a few barrela of it will save a large amount of ammonia in the hennery, the privy and the stable. Hens should have a large open box of it under cover, where they may dust them selves st their pleasure. It is an excellent thing to have in the stable, and when sat urated with urine makes a valuable fer tilizer. The fineness of the dust, conlin uailv ground by the iron tires and horse shoes, is one cause of its favorable action upon crops. That gathered from a clay soil Is best indeed sand, whether from the road or elsewhere, is of but little use as a deodor izer or absorbent. Waeat Turns to Chess. It is common for scletific and agricultural men to sneer contemptuously at the knowledge of some who are convinced that genu ine plants of wheat sometimes degenerate ahnormall v and nroduce chess. But when scientific men become scientific enough they will find out that wheat does turn to chess. The New York Tribune reports a discussion of the subject, m which Dr. Levette, of tbis city, figures as a contributor to incontestible facts. It save: At a meeting last week of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. Mr. Thomas Meehan introduced a subject which he said be had never before, to his knowledge, been brought directly to the ofacientificbody-tbepopularbe-heat will turn to chess. The seienattention lief that w tific world miarbt well be pardoned for de riding such an idea, for if so distinct a genus as Triticum can be found to produce a lromus. our notion of the " leaping " power ot nature must be enlarged in considering theories of evolution. For his own part he bad seen mau v popular impressions, derided by men of science, prove true. When a boy hia agricultural Irienda insisted that the same toad which would deposit its egcrs in water when convenient, would brine lorth its T0UD2 alive when deprived of the wa ter privilege. lie had proved the fact

by keeping toads in breedinc condition in

confinement, and counting the tnadita whan certainly not more than a few days old. The dea waa .nc0 derided by intelligent men, Dut ne Deneved most zoologists now admit that the common toad is oviparous or viviparous according to circumstances. In like manner in his youth he saw five young ", cacu auer anotner. enter the month of the parent when alarmed. This was a universal belief or country people; yet only last year, on overwhelming evidence before the American Association, was it admitted as scientific truth. Again, during the past year we bad seen how a popular belief in regard to an apparent elongation of tree trunks bad proved to be true, though the popular reasoning was wrong. We now know that trees may sometime a be lifted lrom year to year by the gradual thickening of roots growing over a rock basis, so that a side branch which in a young tree is opposite to a mark may in time be as mnch as a foot above it, as popular observation contends it sometimes will. With these things in mind be had held himself open to give even some trouble to. get reputed facts with reference to this question of chess. He now exhibited one of several specimens collected by Mr. Levette of the Indiana geological survey, and proceeded t point out that there could be no mistake about the branch from the wheat ear being Bromus 11 Ai . - secauuus, me common chess, so far as the palea and clumps were con. cerned. In the flowers he had dissected he found no perfect grain to compare with wheat. In instances previously recorded there seems never to have been any dispnte aoout tne appearance rrom tne wheat head being the real Bromus. But it had been contended that in these cases an exam lnation had shown an accidental union of two culms, one from each plant, and which, in some way,naa iormea an apparent union one wnn anotner. The most careful exam ination of this specimen, both by himself and friends, aided by powerful pocket glasses, had failed to detect any such acci dental union. There was indeed every pre sumption against tne proDaDUity ot any sues accident in tne present specimen. In the wheat ear the small cluster of flowers inclosing the ultimate grain came out at each bend of the zigzag race. The spike of chess came out at one of these bends, taking, In fact, the place of one ot these small clusters. It was not an accidental union of two distinct parts, but a substitution of one part for another. Again the Bromus secalinus rarely gets as full as wheat, especially so tall as this strong look mg wneat neaa naa evidently grown. There was, he said, another remarkable fact connected with tke popular reports. Many other grasses grow with wheat as well as Bromus secalinui. the common chess or cnuat. ii. waa apparently ns easy ior any oi these to become accidentally conjoined with wneat aa mis ; out no case is Drougnt iorward. It is always the Bromus. Not to trust, however, to the appearances of this specimen, he suggested that it would be best to refer it to the microscopical section of the academy for an instrumental examina tion, which was done. RHAPSODY ON TURKEYS AND PIGS instructions how to feed, kili. and ccre. As a specimen of clever writing on very common topics, and In vest ins; a plain sub jectwith dazzling attractions, the following by Mr. T. R. Hazard, of Rhode Island, is worth reading. It is not all ro mance either, but true enough to try. He goes on to explain why it ii ' that Khoae island turkeys are worth in the Boston market, three cents per pound more than those from any other locality. The simple reason, according to this authority, is that they are supplied, especially in the South part of the (State, with hard Indian corn instead of meal, barley, oats, or other food, and because they are picked without being scalded in hot water, and their inwards removed immedi ately.
