The question i.s often asked, which is the rx'st breed of cattle a farmer can keep? - It is impractical to answer the question with out knowing for what purpose the anim lis rp raised and where thev are to be kept. If the production of beef is the sole object of rai?in cattle, a fanner can not do better than devote his attention to raising Here ford Short Iiorn. polled Angus, or I'evon cattle. The former are preferable for farms in a Rood slate of cultivation and well supplied with barns, and the latter for portions of the country where animals are obliged to travel lonir distances in search for food, and to sret alons with little protection. The polled Annus and Devon cattle are of -comparatively small size and quite active, and are accordingly well adapted to travel ins. The are also hardy, and capable of en durinir considerable exposure without irreat injury. The best dniry stock is afJorded by the Holstein. Ayrshire and Jersey cattle Holstein cows are general ry preferred by farmers who produce milk lor supplyin towns and cities, A hire cows by those who are interested in the manufacture of cheese, and Jersey cows by those who desire to make suterior butter, or supply their own tables with very rich milk and cream. The Jersey is rsjecially adapted to the wants of ierson3 in towns, as it does well when kept in confine ment, consumes a comparatively small amount of fd, and continues to Rive milk darin; the greater ortion of the year. Many short-horns, particularly those be longing to the Princess family, are lare milkers. The Holsteins, Avrshires and short-horns are readily fattened when they have become too old to breed or to g've laftre amount of milk. For workins? cattle, there is nothing superior to the Devons, as thev are strunz and lively'. The short-horns and Hereford mature early and on that account are preferred bv farmers who desire to turn offtheir stock when the animals are three years old, or younger. In deciding which breed of cattle to keep, a farmer should take into consideration the purpose for which thev are designed and the kind ;f treatment they are to receive. Trichinae and Trichinös! The last issue of the London Mediea I Times and Gazette, just received in Wash ington, contains an elaborate article on the official report on "trichina' and trichinosis," prepared by the late Dr. Glazier, of the Marine Hospital service. After carefully reviewing the statements of Dr. Glazier anil com men ting thereon, the article concludes as follows: "15ut as we have said before, no country is exempt (from trichinosis). It is, however, but fair to state that American meat has earned an ill repute greater than it de serves simply because greater attention ß as been directed to it. Many outbreaks in German referred to it (American meat) have been really caused by German-grown hams, and the only one in thiscountrv fEngland) was from a home-fed animal. As re gards Germany, trade lealonsie have an important part, and even scientific men have allowed themselves to make rash and unproved assertions, though some, like Professor Jleschl, have honorablv ad mitted their error. American and German haras, etc., have been equally at fault. nd since so valuable a supply of food can not oe cut on, aim each one may protect .himself by proper care in cookinz it. the legislative action of the Continental Gov ernments scerns to us unjustifiable, though if it drive the authorities of the United States to vigorous efforts for the rehabilitation of their credit, it may be productive of good. A number of documents bearing on l V : .. . . . . . . vuc ouujen completes me woric, winch we can heartily recommend to the study of all who tike an interest, commercial or scientific, .n the question." Reviews in the British medical journals "are said to be usually written bv xiwrt nn the particular branches to which they relate. and the article from which the above is i quoted is, therefore considered to represent I iue views üi lue meuicai profession in I England. Economy of l'lng Oxen. The farmers of the e&tern States are at greater ex pense for teams to do their work than persons engaged in the same kind of Busmen elsewhere. They almost invariablv employ small or medium-sizeu horses for ail kinds of lield ojeratins, as well as for team ying. Ihey are able to do their work with - horses because their land is irluctive and yields very largo croi. imall farmers in "the New Knaland and Southern States can not generally afford touse horses for plowing and most other kinds of lield work iii account of the expense attending them. The employment of machinery on farms has favored the use of horses. They move quicker and can be managed better than oxen and mules. In many parts of the prairie region of the West young farmers are entirely unacquainted with the use of any other animals for doing any kind of work. Still, many farmers, especially those having small means, would find it profitable to employ oxen fordoing much of their work. Oxen can be put to work a year earlier than horses can, and can be raised much cheaper. It costs less to keep them, ami they are worth more after they have outlived their working years. Tht-y require less protection, and will stand exposure much better. They require no

harres?, and, unless they travel on ice, need

no shoes. Thev receive less injury from in fect", and will work better when the weather s- stormy or severely cold or hot They are less liable to injury and less subject to disease. ror drawing heavy loads over poor roads or plowed fields they are vastly superior to horses. They are better for naming manure, as they wort wen wnen attacnea to carts having but two wheels. Oxen make an excellent team for breaking prairie, for repair ing roads, for hauling tone, and lor cleari ng land of stumps. Several pairs of oxen can be worked together to better advantage than horses.. Oxen, If not kept till they are quite old, can be converted into marketable beef and sold at a price that will pay for raising and keeping them. Their labor will be gain. Horses, however, begin to depreciate in value soon after they attain their growth, and eventually become of no value. Experiments with Sorghum. A few acres of sorghum, of the early am ber and earlv orange varieties were grown upon the farm of the Ohio State University the past season, for the purpose of testing their. value as syrup producers, and also oi investigating the clarifying process described in the recent publications of the Department of Agriculture at Washington. The general conclusions drawn from these experiments were as follows: j. The early amber cane is a little too early, and of rather too small a habit of growth, to yield the oesi returns in our lati tude. For certain purposes it win De louna profitable to cultivate this variety; as for farms and districts where one mill must work a large amount of cane, and therefore must ruu for as long a time as possible. Here the earlv amber would be found very valuable, as it would enable the mill to be started by the middle of August, while a succession of later varieties would keep it running until late in the fall. The sniallness of the habit of growth of this variety, may be parti ally compensated for by thicker planting. We have no reason to consider it any richer in cane sugar man any otner va rietiesof sorghum, but upon this point we cart not speak with authority. 2. . The early orange proved wun us a very late variety, but few of the heads being ripe when trust came, it maoe a very nne article of syrup, and yielded 50 per cent more to the sore than the amber. This, however, was chiefly owing to its more vig orous habit of growth. Had the amber been planted enough thicker to counterbalance its smaller siee the diflerence in yield would not have been so great. 1 he orange showed one peculiarity which I never seen in any other variety of sorghum, which was that the deposit, which sometimes so troubles the manufacturers by adhering to the bot tom of the pan, in this case remained in sus pension in the syrup, in the form of a white, floury powder, which settled to the bottom of the vessel when at rest. 3. We canie decidly to the conclusion that heat ami the skimmer are the best clan hers for sorghum luice, when sirup, is desired. Lime, no m itter how carefully it was added, nor how well it was neutralized with acid, invariably darkened the product. Heat coagulates the albumen ot the juice; this, in rising, carries to the surface all particles of celular tissue and other light impurities which may be held in suspension and these may be thoroughly removed b? the skimmer, lo accomplish this the juice must be kept at a shallow depth in the pan from one to two inches and there must be iortions of the surface free from ebulli tion, in which the skuni may 'collect, and from which it must be faithfully removed That a larger per cent, of crystal lizable cane sugar may be "obtained by the use of some chemical clanhers is indicated by the following analvsis, kindly made for us bv Professor N. W. Ixrd, of the two samples of syrup, the first (a) having been made with out any clanlier, while in the second (b) the juice was first defecated by the addition of milk of lime, end the lime atterward neu tralized with sulphurous acid: (a) Unclarirled, cane suear26.1 percent. grape " 4-t 0 percent. (b) Clarified, cane " ?J.7 per cent. gre.pe " 4 9 per cent. We se no encouranement in our expeii ments for the hope that sugar will ever be econoniica'iy made from the sorgum by the appliances within the reach ot the ordinary tanner, mat sugar exists in this cane in profitable quantities is fully demonstrated. but to extract it with certainty and cconomv will require such an eC pensive outfit in the wav of machinery, and such a thorough knowledgeof the business, as to make it a specialty, jnst as the making of beet sugar is now. Nevertheless we see every reason to consider sorghum as among the profitable crops o Ohio agriculture. It is no more difficult to obtain a yield of 100 gallons of sorghum mo lasses to the acre than to get twenty bushels of wheat or fifty bushels of corn. A crop of this sie mav be raised and manufactured into sirup for thirty cents per gallon, while crops of twice this amount are frequently produced, and, of course, the larger the crop tr.e smaller the relative cost ol production. One item of sorghum culture has, hereto fore, been generally overlooked by farmers. and that is the value of the seed for feeding purposes. Experiments made on the farm during the past winter have fully confirmed Jhe statement of Dr. Collier in the report of me uepartmeni ot Agriculture lor liW'j, that this seed is very near equal to corn in feed ing value. An acre of sorghm should yield from twenty to thirty bushels of seed, owing to variety and yield, while the seed may be stripped by the machinery used in stripping oroom corn at a very small expense. Farm and Workshop Notes. Hydraulic cements do not shrink in har dening and make an excellent mortar with out any mixture of sand. Combustion of coal nnder boilers is the most complete with firings or charges at in tervals of from fifteen to twenty minutes. Lonn Stoddard, a farmer in Harrisville . l., in 186 procured a single kernel of Centennial oats and planted it. His prod uci seeu Rrown irora mis single grain amounted to 100 bushels by measure, but 135 by weight, the grain being so plump ana neavy. lie sure that the corn vou plant has a good pedigree. Pedigree in sVed is of as much importance as pedigree in horses ant! cattle. Jiuy it from none but reliable seed stores, though it may cost you a few cents more a bushel; it will amount to but little in the end. When the hyacinths hare ceased to bloom and their leaves are withered, let the bulbs dry in the sun for a few days and then du them away in a paper ba till October, when they can be planted in the ground. T.ulbs that have been forced in the house are not good for another sea.son. Professor Goessman gives the following as a cure for yellows in peach trees: Apply potash salts to the surface under the tree and rake it in, then mulch with old hay, leaves or straw. The German crude muriate of potash will be the least expensive. Use one or two jiounds, according to the size of tree. Apply one iound in the late fall and same quantity in the spring. accent exieriments bv Mr. Waite at Manchester, buirland. show that the super stition that prevails in favor of using castor on to cool a liot bearing is without any war rant. No vegetable oil is fit to use as a hi bricant. and castor oil is the worst of all, be cause the most viscous. If used it w;l surely set the mill on fire, as it has in other cases. A grindstone should be secured to the shaft by nuts and Washers, and the washers fixed so that they can not turn with the nuts as they are screwed up or unscrewed. In hanging the stone, great care should be taken to hang it true sidewise, not only for convenience in usine. but becausa a stone that is not true sidewise can never be kept irue eugewise. A good way to plant some flower seed which you wish to take particular good care oi is to take a turnip, cut it in halves. scraje out the shell, then fill with earth and plant the seeds; and when the time comes to

put the winter plants outdoor dig a hole in the flower-bed large enough to set the turnip init will rot in a short time and your plants will thrive bynot having the tender roots disturbed.

The best use to which we ever saw u applied was uoon the eravel walks to inrevent the growth of grass and weeds, which it did most effect ually, at the same time making a very hrui. dry and durable walk. Grabs in the head of sheep are believed to be caused by the gadfly, which deposits its eggs in the nostrils oi tue snerp uunng i.ne uoimer and autumn; although they cause much pain they are not usually fatal. To prevent them, apply tar to the noses of the sheep, occasionally during July and August, or smear the feeding troughs with tar. To are the sheep when the grubs are once hatched, blow tobacco smoke up the nostrils or syringe tue nose wun a uecucuoii ot to bacco. June, July and August are the best months for layering roses. If ths soil dries quickly water the layers twice a day, as they must be kept moist. 15y October they will be ready to be taken from the parent plant. Cut them off within two niches from the tongue. Dig deeply with a trowel to take them up and transplant where they will re main. The following spring tney snouia oe pruned down to three or four buds. Some of them will flower in the summer. Our best farmers are beginning to learn, and, in fact, most of them have already learned, that the time spent in destroying weels in the autumn is well spent, and that f they would save time in cultivating hoed crops they must keep the weeds from seedng as much as possible in all parts ot the farms; a little carelessness in this respect will soon cover a farm with weed seeds. A single root of milk-weed in a mowing lield, f left unmolested, will spread over and take possession of a large field in a few years. At a sheep-shearing of Merinos at Oakand, Mich., the heaviest fleeces shorn were 24 pounds, 3 onnces; 23 pounds, 13 ounces; 21 pounds, 3 ounces. Tne weight of the sheep were in the same order as follows: 123 rounds, 114! pounds and 112 pounds respectively, the heaviest sheep-shearing the largest fleeces. At Sedalia, Mo., at a similar shearing, the three heaviest fleeces were 30 pounds, 4 ounces; 31 pounds, 4 ounces, and 28 pound, 14 ounces. The weight of the sheep were 135 pounds, 1öS pounds d 13GJi pounds. Mr. W. W. llrown, of Slater, Mo., made the folowing shearing from Cots wolds. Six rams one year old this spring, sheared as follows; 16 pounds. 22ii Pounds, '21 pounds, 20 "i pounds, pounds and 11 pounds. Six ewes, two years old, with sucking lambs by their side, sheared lüj pounds, ls?i pounds, 'i pounds, lilt iHJunds and h tounds. The weight of the carcasses of the Cotswold sheep we have not obtained, but we have no doubt they were much heavier than the Merinos, and that the Cotswold sheared a much heavier weight of clear wool when made ready for the machine than the Merinos. IIow llrave Men Feel. TMobile Register. Decoration Day of the Federal dead. On eral J. W. IJurke delivered the memorial oration.

We commend to the stav-at-home Union men of the North the noble feelings ex pressed by General Durke in the course of his remarks, although we very much fear that in doing so we may furnish weapons against him to the hyenas for whom "the war is not vet over." "And now, my mends, having done jus tice to the gallant men whose graves are decorated to-day in memory of all this, let me not conclude without vindicating the honor and character of our noble dead bv pay in- a tribute of resject to the memorv of tne orave men wno leu on me oiner sine. i . . ,i . , In life, after the battle, the wounded Con federate soldier shared his canteen with his disabled Union foe, and the victorious Union soldier his last crust with his chival rous Confederate captive.

The legions of Home never produced more splendid physi cal courage, and the history of war shows no greater example of fortitude and en durance. And, in saying this, we only add to our own glory, and magnify the splendor of the achievement that resulted in their ultimate discomfiture." Demoralization in Politics. New York Sun. It is a painful commentary on the prevailing demoralization in polities that the recent alleged attempt at bribery in the Legislature at Albany has generally been treated as a joke. The Republicans seemingly hsve taken no other view of it They appear to regard It as wearing no serious aspect whatever. And even the Democrats have sadly fallen short of the duty devolved upon them by such an occurrence. On this subject a man can not go so far that he will not be sustained bv the people. If public offices, especially of a legislative character, are to be bought and sold, then the people are at once reduced to the condition of serfs of cattle and swine. If what Bradley says is false, he is one of the greatest criminals of the age. If what Bradley says is true, then Mr. Sessions has no proier mate but the serpent tne serpent that entered the Garden of Kden. Hardened, debauched, habitually corrupt legislators may laugh over the matter. The honest, plain people of the country will never laugh at the idea of public offices being sold, because full well they under stand that it is in effect bartering away the people s rights and liberties. The crimes of the Czar were but the consummation of corruption in the Government ot Kussia. The people desire no Czar, cither singleheaded or many-headed, in this country. We warn the legislators at Albany, of all parties, that they can not possibly overestimate the importance and the gravity of this charge by a Republican Assemblyman against a Republican State Senator of an at tempt at briber, and of the actual payment of l',hk) in money in turtherance of that attempt A Child In a California Lion's Mouth. I Santa lUrbara Press. 1 Mrs. Long, who lives between the Mission and San Rooke Canons, while milking her cows one evening aooui ten days ago, was startled by a scream from her four-year-old daughter.

It AXT AT CHICAGO.

e Expresse Some Very Decided Opinions to Garfield and Conkling. Chicago Times. General Grant, Mrs. Grant. Colonel Fred. D. Grant, and MissSharpe arrived in the city yesterday. The General and his wife passed the day at the Palmer House. In the evening Mrs. Grant and Miss Sharpe left the city tor Galena. Col. Grant was a guest at the private residence of Mr. Potter Palmer. General Grant told a representative of the Times that he was en route for New York. That annoucement suggested a mention of the Conkling a flair. The General was asked for an opinion in that matter. His quick and vehement reply was that Conkling was right. "I think he has beer, outrageously treated," he added with rising fervor. He went on to say that the protest of two Senators (meaning Conkling and Piatt) ought to have weighed more than it did against the nomination of Robertson. "And then again," said the" General, "when all the nominations that were unobjectionable were withdrawn, the Senate should have resented it." He couldn't imagine what the result of the legislative "dead-lock" at Albany will be, but he hoped for Senator Conkling's tiiumph. (Chicago Tribune. The inierviewer now changed the subject rather abruptly by saying: "I suppose, General, you have been somewhat bored to-day for your views on the present political " 'I am not paying particular attention to politics just now, bat empliatically if you want my views on the Conkling matter, 1 shall not hesitate to say that I am with Mr. Conkling and with Mr. Piatt, all over and all the time. The New York Senators were insulted by the President, who made an appointment obnoxious to them, and who made it simply because it was obnoxious. Kver since 1 have known anything about such matters it has invariably been the custom that where the Senators from any Stat objected to Presidential apoiiiimcnts in that State, the appointments were always withdrawn." "Do you think Mr. IMaine had a hand in the appointment of Senator Robertson ?" "I think if Dlaine had not been there the appointment would never have been made." "And what is your opinion of the result?" "It is my opinion, of course, that no choice will be reached at Albany b the present Legislature. The matter will have to go before the ieople at the election next fall, and I think Cunkling can carry the State." "Do you think Conkling made a right move in resigning: "If he wanted to resign I think he was all right in doing so. He is a proud man, and felt hurt that not only the President, but Republican Senators, should go so directly contrary to Republican principles and National custom. He felt that a great injury had been done to the party, and that so much dissension prevailed in it that he did not care to remain any longer in olitics. And I believed that Mr. Conkling, when he resigned, did not intend to enter politics again." "What do you think induced him to seek a re-election?' "He has sought a re-election because he desires to show the public that the slurs and insults thrown at him since his resignation are not indorsed by the people of New York. And I will say right here that these slurs seem in a great measure to hare emanated from the White House. Mr. Conk ling has acted honorably a.l the way through, but the action of the President and the 'half breeds,' as they are called and I think the name a good one has done an irreparable injury to the party. Supposing the boot was on the other leg supposing a friend of Mr. Conkling had retained his seat in the State Senate, after being appointed Collector, to carry out a fight against the Administration the State of New York would not be large enough to hold the noise that would be made about iL But such papers as the Tribune think it til right for Robertson to act the wav he does. I have met only one Republican in my travels who sKtes with the President in this aiatter, and that Republican was ar. obscure dealer in fruit in the City of Mexico. The leading Democrats, while thev are glad to see a break in the Republican ranKs, think tliul Conkling has acted honorably. The Democrats are glad to see Conkling at war with his party, for thev know that New York was never carried by the Republicans ex cept through Coiiklin's influence." The interview closed at this point. Sectionalism and Party; sm. American Rceister.l 1 In this great country, and undtr our free and henelicient institutions, why can not we have a harmonious and happy eople, ac customed to speak in terms of respect and confidence of each other in all sections of the country? Why should such sectional and partisan bitterness and malignity exist as that manifested in our political discus sions and newspaper permeations? W Jiy should representative men be tolerated in saying that anything, however immoral or criminal, would be justifiable, if necessary to keep political opponents out of office? After the War ana the abolition of slavery, and that, too, at the extense of the Southern people, every dictate of propriety. policy, and wisdom required that oblivion should le thrown over the unhappy events of the War. The lape of time lias been sufijeent to abate the passions and animosities of the War, yet the radical clamor and abuse of the Southern people, the argument of the bloody shirt," is as rife and as vociferously proclaimed now as it was the first year after the War. If rve can not have a harmonious Union; if the Southern States can not be trusted as equals with the other States in the Union according to the Constitution, then the War was a failure, a terrific failure, in which the loss of life and treasure, the desolation and destruction, the mourning, sorrow and suffering caused by it were all in vain. Politicians and newspapers in the Northern States have undertaken to show that there was not, and could not be, homogeneity between the people of the Northern and the Southern States; that the people of these several sections were so different in civilization and habits that (to use the expression of one of their radical organs) ''they were as wide apart as Heaven is fron hell." Hence, according to the Radical doctrine, a harmonious Union of the Northern and Southern States would be impracticable. The land of Washington, and of Jefler-on, and of Jackson, and of Clay not homogeneous with the people of the Northern States! Whence and how came this? The people 'of the Northern and the Southern States fought the battles of liberty and in dependence side by side in the War of the Revolution. The Southern and Northern soldiers fought side by side for the rights and honor oi the United States in every war until discord was produced by the .Radical Republicans. Want of homogeneity, indeed! The Northern and Southern people speak the same language, are educated in the same literature and are of the same religious belief, and have been extensively connected in business and kindred by blood and marriage for more than a century and a half. They formed the Union of the States together, and lived happily and prosperously under it until the evil genius of lladical Republicanism entered this paradise of their liberties. When Satan entered the Garden of Llen his policy was to divide and conquer. And such appears to be the policy and spirit of Radical Republicanism. Now, what is radicalism? . As applied to religion and politics, it means the doctrime of" the extremists, who carry out or seek to carry out their dogmas to their utimate consequences without deviation or modification, regardless of the wrongs and human suffering consequent upon their dire results. In both religion aatl politics, all abstract doctrines have to be modified in their practical operations for adaptation to man's frail condition. In religion they are qualified and tempered by charity and a benevolent regard for the weakness and frailty of human nature. In politics, all civil government in

its best forms is but a cromprontisein which man surrenders a tart of bisreligion for the

prouctionof tue balance, and in jts wisest administration conservative measures and conservative views are essential to accomplish the highest aims of true statesmanship, which has always in view the happiness and welfare of the governed. Rut radicalism, regardless of the existing condition of things and all charitable and humane considerations, tramples down with atrocity and violence existing institutions, and attempts lo attain its ends even through DiocKisnea ana sunerings. in the name of religion radicalism has stretched man ujon the ruck of torture and drenched the earth with human blood. In the name of liberty radicalism has, at different periods of the world, torn down the essential safeguards of human happiness, and made countless millions mourn in struggles to establish imEracticable dogmas; and now, here in the 'nited States, radicalism, rather than be displaced from power, would pervert the truth, deceive and misuad the public mind, defeat the popular voice by chicanery and fraud, and subvert popular Government and establish an imperial monarchy upon lis ruins. A distinguished author on national ethics said: "The greatest dangers are not always the most apparent; but few observers can doubt that the gravest danger now thrcatenir5 us as a Nation is the supplanting of our cherished theory of government of, by and for the people, by a new system, namely, government of, by and for a party. In fact, party has already usurped the throne, and the dictates of a spurious party morality are loudly proclaimed as the doctrines of national ethics," This is strictly applicable to the Republican party under the rule of its oligarchy of Radicals. They have been in power so long that they begin to think that the Government belongs to them as a matter of exclusive right. The theory that the Government originated from the ieople, was made bv them, and for them, has been perverted, Mid according to the ethics of (his party the Government is from and by and for this political party. When the question of any public measure arises with -Uhe ighest officials of thif party, the inijurj-yl Miiade i not, is it required by the welfare .and safety of the country and authorized by the Constitution, but the chief inquiry mado is. will it advance the intenst of the' Republican iarty or tend to secure its success? If it will do this, then it is all right. , Washington, in his farewell address, warning the country in the nioFt solemn manner against the danger of sectional parties, and the baneful effect of party spirit, said: "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenue natural to party dissensions, which, in different ages and countries, has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and rejose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his comiettors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own eleva tion on the ruins of public liberty." The people of this country have the highest earthly motives to profit by these warnings of the "Father of his Country." and preserve the institutions under which the country has grown and prosjiered and advanced, not only in greatness and "power, but in the arts and improvements, and all that elevates, refines and ennobles civilized man. In this vast country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and from the lakes of the North to the Gulf of Mexico, is the grand seat and abode for the freedom and civilization of a homogeneous population progressing in their onward course of development and improvement under the free institutions of our Federal Union of Republican States. Rut if this progressive development is to be stayed and defeated by the bickerings ami wranglings of tectional parties and factions for the offices, honors and emoluments of the Government, this vast scope of country will become the seat of dissevered and discordant States, of jarring, rival and hostile dynasties and factions, a vast theater of constantly recurring strife and contention and warfare, dishearteningto the patriot and philanthropist, and ultimately overthrowing the last great experiment of man for free government United States Bond Hedem ptlon and Legis lation. Washington, June K. It is not thought probable from intimations obtained at the Treasury Department, based on the present indications, that there will be a recommendation to the next Congress looking to refunding legislation. It is evidently the opinion of those high in authority that the conversion oi nign rate uonus unuer ine present system into bonds bearing a lower rate is far more advantageous to business interests than the agitation of the qweion by Congress, while the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury is to keep the sinking fund well supplied. It is not probable much will be done in the purchase of bonds for that fund until the 5 jer cents , to which option of continuance or redemption has Already been extended, are disposed of. Although there has been no reort received as to the number or amount of coupon 5s received for continuance at the London Agency, it is understood quite a large amount of such bonds have been presented. The Secretary is of the opinion that nearly, if not quite all the $llS,0Ü0.0iX coupon 5's will be received for continuance before the time fixed fortheirpresentation haselapsed, namely, July 1. The Secretary was asked to-day if there was any probability of his purchasing 4 per cent's of 11)07, for the sinking fund in preference to redeeming the converted 3J per cent's, to which he responded that was a question which had not yet been considered. It is thought in some quarters that, providing the 4's could be purchased in the open market at reasonable figures, it would be good policy to purchase them in preference to redeeming the ZM per cents. Forty-four millions dollars coupon 5 per cent bonds have been received tor continuance at 3 per cent to date, leaving $74,000,000 to be heard from. Reunion of Officers and Sailors of the War. Cincinnati. June 16. Very widespread interest has been awakened in the proposed reunion of the officers and soldiers of the late ar to be held in this city, September 14, 15 and 1G. Arrangements are also made for the reunion of members of the Navy of that War. The idea is to have a generalprogramme for afternoons and nicht in cluding a grand parade, and to set apart the forenoons for reunions of the regiments, brigades and divisions, tor these, con venient quarters will be furnished free of cost, and it is thought that with the low rates of fare given by the railroads many of tbe.e organizations will come here to hold their reunions. The work of preparation is iathe hands of CommitUes apjointed by the local organizations of ex-soldiers and sailors. Citizens generally are enlisted in furthering the interests of the reunion, be sides giving quarters for holding regimental and other reunions. It is the puriKse to establish a large camp in the suburbs, where free lodging will be furnished, and where meals will be furnished at rates established bv the Committee of Arrange ments. The details of the programme is not yet settled, but addresses from the lead ins military men will be a part of the plan. General Sherman has said that he will be here. .-. Dudley tiets There. Washington, June 1C J. A. Fentley tendered Iiis resignation this afternoon as Commissioner of Pensions. It was at once accepted, and W. W. Dudley, United States Marshal, of Indiana, appointed to that place. It is learned the President's request for Commissioner Bentley's resignation was not intended as any reflection upon his personal or official intregnty, But was based upon complaints which cave been strenuously

urged in many quarters against his past mauagememt of the pension service and his well-known schemes for its re-organization. It is understxxl the President accompanied his acceptance of Commissioner Bentley's resignation with an offer of a foreign appointment which Dentley declined. TUE STATE PKESS.

The Tipton Times says: It is poss'bJe that Mr. B. S. Parker, of the Newcastle Mercury, may receive a Consulate from Uartield'a Administration. It is not creditable to the newspaper profession that It should be negligent of its own members. The appointment of Mr. Parker would be an honor to the Administration. The unobtrusive life ot this gentleman of letters has been honorable to the tate. Much that he has written ought not to perish in the dlomiu of newspapers. Better than he has yet done he doubtless could do did not the constant mecr- leal intellectual labor rf a country Journalist' .Je dull -he higher tendencies of his mind. If t.iere is a newspaper man who has influence with a CongressBaftD or Senator he ought to use it in behalf of one of the most modest and able of Indiana authors. The Scott County Democrat says: The Democratic party has a r'orlous opportunity. But iu lenders must rtxe to the full level of the needs of the hour. ieuy factional interest must be dropped. There roust be no questions of the "spoils of office." Great, unselfish and statesmaulike action is demanded in interest of the people and for the glory of our free institutions. The Democratic party is the party of the futureLet it be worthy of the great work before it The Sullivan Democrat says: Conner says Dorsey gave him money to buy rotes. The same tnin is being done iu the New York LegitOature. Is Dorsey there, or is the system an established Republican method? We are not alone in our Poor Farm troubles. The Iluahville Jacksonian says: The New Castie Democrat shows up the Poor Hofrse of Jtenry County in rather a poor light It Vf m that the inmates of the institution are whipped with a wagon whip at times, and some of tht in are kept there who could, and would, willffigly earn their own living. Let the County pawners keep an eye on these places and the management they are pnder. Our poor and afflicted nust not be neglected or abused. The Ledger Standard says: ' The bribery 'investigation will have one god effect, whatever else it mar do. it will show the world what kind of men the Republican party in New York send to the Legislature. By Bradley's twn statements it is shown that he had testified fxlsely in the Court, and bad been mixed np in other legal matters where his actions were of doubtful morality. He also stated that he could rereive money for his rote. One dar he swears he had made up his mind to reveal the bribery before he accepted the money. At another time he swears that he bad not If he accepted the money without having determined on exposing the feheme, he certainly accepted a bribe. So much for him. Senator Sessions, al) by his own statements, i hown to be a notorious corrupt lobbyist, who ha4 received money at divers and sundry times for the purpose of influencing legislation. He also shows that be was smart enough rascal to put it where it would do the most good in his own pocket. He also admits having received money as a Congressional lobbyist when bis brother was a member of that body. A nice mess truly. No wonder Boss Tweed, Boss Kelley and oosg ionising couia noansn in sucn abtäte. THUKMAN Declines the Gubernatorial Nomination. Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Colcmbcs, O., June 13. The 'friends of ?enator Thurman will regret that he abso lutely declines to permit the use of his name in connection with the Democratic nomina tion for Governor. The feeling has been growing all over the State in favor of the old Ilonian. Letters and telegrams have been sent him importuning him to consent,' and, if he had done so, he would have been nom inated bv acclamation. The following letter to Mr. Allen W. Thurman explains itself: I'aeis, May 2S, 1SS1. My Dear Son I see by the newspapers that I am talked about as a candidate for Governor. made up my mind when 1 left the Senate that I would return to private life for good and forever, and I remain of that mind. If, therefore, there is any disposition to nominate me, you will tell my friends that I can not accept. My private affairs, too long neglected, need all my attention; and, besides, I have arrived at that sge w hen a man ought to quit , holding ollice. I have had my full share of the honors. Let the younger men come to the fronw I would not IiHve accepted the appointment I new hold but for my desire to see Europe, and the fact that it would fx; of short duration.

A Pair of Georgia Yarns. lOglesthorp Echo.l V A perfectly responsible gentleman tells us the following: "The late Mr. Isaac Thornton of this County owned an old negro naruecf NT, 111 id id Ike. who could walk the bed of a strea with as much ease as on land. He cou carry a couple of large stones in each hand to weigh him down, und, fearlessly wading into a river, pass across by walking on the bottom, it mattered not how deep the water." Our informant savs he frequently crossed Broad River thus. Mr. M. R MctSinty, of Athens owns a pair of horses that can understand everything the driver says to them. He never carries a whip, but governs them by words. If one of the pair fails to do its duty the driver simply calls it by name, stating that when they get to the stable punishment will be inflicted. A gentleman tells us that the ani mal at once shows its understanding of the threat by trembling in every limb, and is frightened nearly to death when the time arrives for the chastisement. Several clear instances are recorded to show that these horses possess a remarkable understanding of language. WhittaUer's Friends Dissatisfied. Wabhikoton, D. C, June 15. Whittaker's friends are determined not to let his case rest with the adverse finding of the Military Court. They claim that the evidence taken does not justify a verdict of guilty and they propose another argument to thi9 effect before the Judge Advocate General. Then if the Judge Advocate General approves the finding of the Court, Whittaker's friend3 intend to go before the President and ask him to disapprove it. They make no point on the color question, and will not In spite of their efforts it is more than probable that the finding of the Court will be approved. Estimate of thi Quebec Fire. Qcebec. June 15. It is officially annouced that 042 houses were destroyed in the recent lire, making homeless 1,211 families, consisting of (1,028 individuals, two-thirds of whom lost all and without insurance. The Kelief Committee adopted a resolution passed at a meeting of Protestant gentlemen, that 10 per cent, of the subscriptions received by the Relief Committee be paid to the Protestant Committee for the relief of Protestant victims. People seem to be seized with a panic, and rut,h wildly into the streets at each alarm of fire. Ä large amount of missing property has been recovered by detectives. The Martin County Murder. Bedford, Ind.. June 16. William Brannum, reported yesterday as shot by an unknown assassin in Martin County, was killed by John Huff, his son-in-law. They have been bitter enemies, and recently agreed to meet at Ward's Church, a lonely sjot, and have their quarrel out. Both came arni d. IfufT tired lirst with a shotgun and killed Brannum. The man who heard the tiring arrived in time to see Huff running away. "Mother lias Recovered." wrote an Illinois girl to her Eastern relatives. "She took bitters for a long time but without any good. So when she heard of the virtues of Kidney-Wort she got a box, and it has completely cured her, so that she can do as much work now as she could before we moved West.
