following reasons why some farmers do not succeed : They arcot active and iudustriocs. Toey-anrc-alothtul in everything. Jr They do-cot Keep up with Improvements. They aro wedded to old methods. "They jcrve no attention to details. They bP:k small things not fnportant They Site no pleasure in their work. TheyTCrd labor as a DiUfrtne. They wti(h and measure sUuly. Tney ere wasteful and improvident. - They ret their gates sag and fall down. Tlief let their fowls roost in the trees. Ti.eyi-ave uo shelter for stock. Trwy do not curry their horsea. They leave their plows la the field. ' Ther' hai'g the harness tu the dust, . They put off greasing the wagou. Therst&rve the calf and milt the cow. They don't know the ott is the cheapest.

A colt ia regarded u an incumbrance because he issueless until he arrives at a suitable age for work, but it really costs very little, compared with bis value, to raise a olt. When the period arrives at which the coft can do service the balance sheet will ahoic in his favor, for young borses always command good prices if they are sound and well broken. One of Ihe difficulties in the way U the incurubraDce placei on the dam,

which interferes with her usefulness on the farm, especially if the colt is foaled during the early part of spring. 8ome farmers have the'ir colts foaled in the fall, but this is open to two objections. In the first place, spzing is the natural time, for then the gnws is beginning to grow, and nature seems to have provided that most animals should bring forth their young in a season beyond the reach of severe cold and with sutS.cient time to grow and be prepared for the following winter. Again, when a colt is foaled in the fall he must pass through a reriodof several months' confinement in the sts'ole. without exercise, or else be more or leas chilled with cold from time to time.

Show'id this happen, the e'dect ot any bad treatment would be afterward manifest, and no Amount of attention can again elevate the colt to that degree of hardiness and soundness of bjdy that naturally belong to snrimr colt. Besides, a colt foaled In the spring will outgrow one foaled in the all. An objection to spring coaiis may be partially overcome by plowing in the fall, or keeping the brood mares for very lieht work, with the colta at liberty to ac comrany them always. A colt needs but vprv little feedine if the nasture is rood and there Is water running through it. fie needs then only a small feed ot oats at nights no corn aud if he is tnven hav it is not neces sary to give him a full ration. What he will consume from the barn will not be onethird his value when he is three years old, and if he is well bred the gain is greater. When a farmer raises his horses he knows their disposition, constitution and capacity It Is the proper way to get good. sound, serviceable horses on the farm. It should not be overlooked that a colt must be tenderly treated from birth, and must be fondled and handled as much as possible. He should never hear a harsh word, but should be taught to have confidence In everybody ho sees or knows. This is an easy matter if his training begins from the time he is a day old. lie can be thus grad ually broken without dimcultv, and will never be troublesome. ' No such thing as a whip should be allowed in a stable that cöntaiiisaco?t, Colts should not be worked until three years old, and then lightly at first, 3 they "do not fully mature until they are six years old, and with some breeds of torses-even later. Glares with foals at their side should be fed on the richest aud most nourishing food. 1 Friiiu.K rasture Land Early In the Spring. Massachusetts Ploughmau.l Some farmers have an idea that they mae a great saving ny turning out to pas ture their young cattle and sheep as early in spring 83 it is possible tor tnem to get a liv ing. Jt is true by so doing they save their hay, but they lose more other ways than they gain in this. Sheep and cattle when turned out to pick up their living on short feed rapidly lose ilesh, and if the sheep have lauibs that are young the lambs not onlv suiter in consequence ot snort feed, but thev also suffer by the sudden changes of weather. This alone would be sutlicient reason for keeping them in the barn a few weeks lonsrer. It may be said that the sheep may be housed nights and in bad weather, and that both the sheep and cattle can be fed enough to keep them in pood condition. This is true, but there is another reason why it is not best to feed pastures too early, which is. by beginning to feed as soon as the grass starts, it is kept fed close during the entire season, because bv close feeding early in the stason the grass roots are so ex posed to the sudden changes of early spring. and then to the scorching rays of the sum mer sun, that they become erreatly weak ened, if they do not entirely die out, and leave room for some noxious weeds that are always ready to occupy any sot that is hot occupied by the grass. Many pastures are injured by feeding before the grass has got high enough to show green It is much better to keep both cattle and sheep to the barn until the grass gets well started. Uy so doing it gives time for the land to get well covered with growing vegeition. Thus protected, the land retains the moisture and is 'kept in a condition to furnish good feed throughout the season. If pastures are not fed early it gives an oiportunity to sow grass seed on the bare spots and get the younr: plants well started before the stock is turned in. When we understand how to better care for our pastures we shall not only keep our stock out until the.grass has got a good start, but we shall De as particular to manure tuem as we are now to ruinure our mowing lands, and thu3 we shall be able to keep more stock to the acre and keep them in bettsr condition. How best to manage pasture lands is one of the important subjects which is now occupying the attention of intelligent farmers. Training Vicious Homes. Ohio Farmer. A dcw and very simple method of training vicious horses was exhibited in West Philadelphia recently, and the manner in which some of the wildest borses were sub dued was astonishing, ine nrst trial was that of a kicking of "bucking" mare, w hich her owner said had allowed no rider on her back fvr a period of at least tiva years. She became tame in about as many minutes. and allowed herself to be ridden about with out a sign of her former wildness. me means by wmcn the result was accomplished was by a piece of light rope which was passed around the front jaw of tne mare just aoove the upper teeth, crossed in her nauuth, and thus secured bacK of her neck. It was claimed that no horse will kick or jump when thus secured, and tnat a "horse, after receiving the treatment a few times will abandon his vicious ways for ever. A very simple method was ilso shown by which a kicking horse could be shod. Iteonsisted in connecting the aui mil s neaa and xau by means of a rope fastened to the tail and then to the bit, and then draw(ightly enough to incline theaniI mal a head to one side. Thts, it is claimed. makes it absolutely impossible for the horse 1 t0 .k?.c.on Reside of the rope. At the same r exuibition a .horse which for nunyyears iiaa to De ovinia on tne around to be shod 'juuereu me u.acKsmuu io operate on n'm rrithout attempting; to kick while secured sin the manner described. lEIornless Cattle. J3otb in Eno-and and America th merits o the polli .cattle," as they are called, are being made Jtnown, and this is occasioned byi-i rivalry between the "Polled Angus" aud the "iallowaya," both breeds being hornless. The Argua is black, with tine silky hair a round, compact body and small Lead, whv'e the Galloway is likewise black, Imt witi. long coarS' hair, long body, heavy quarisrsand larpe thead. They are both large breed?, and excel in early maturin and fattening qualities. It as claimed that the Sallowayc, though swarer, are larger than the Angu, and they are-caid to dress fcixty-two pound to the Lundred, which is several pounds. ibove the average. A Wisconsin breederAas a bull of the Galloway breed that weichs nearly f ,tJ pounds, and one owned in St. LouU weighs 2,400 pounds, which is a.tfiicient to warrant them a pUoe emongth heavy-weigh tc. As the herns are being bred off the beef cittle, those designed for the dairy are re-, cetving the tame attention, and we have lor miUcing qualities the Xorfctis, a red brwyl, and the Suricks, which are white, both ot whicii have their admirers. The value of the hornless breeds consist in their quiet tabits, atptve of offensive weapons, rhich Jessen the liability of injuring each other, te demand for smaller space in stabling them and the greater facility with which they can be transported by rail. Steam Plowing In Iowa. Cherokee (Ia.)Tlmes.l Mr. II. C. Wheeler, of udeboldt, is the most extensive farmer in the State of Iowa. He owns in a solid body G.200 acres of land adjoining Odeboldt For some time he has been experimenting with the problem of plowing by steam power. There has not been a feasible attempt mads in that direction for soma years that Mr. Wheeler has not investigated, either by correspondence

or by' personal visit to the place. At the Centennial he spent several weeks looking

over the various devices for steam plowing. and he has traveled thousands of miles to witness experiments. He says bo far 11 are practical failures. He is of the opinion, however, that he has himself succeeded in netting machine that is practicable. Heretofore two separate principles have been nsed, one by stationary engines, one attach end of the field; the other by moving traction engines. The first method is not adapted for popular use, the engines requiring to move at much expense. In the other case, an enene to move the plow at the same time is too cumbersome and expensive. Mr. Wheeler has now an engine, constructed at Oshkosh and put to wölk on his farm last week, embracing both principles. The engine is run ahead 500 feet, then by a cable a system of ten plows is drawn up, the cable winding on a cylinder. When drawn up, the engine is run on again, and so to the end. Mr. Wheeler says he can plow thirty acres a day at a cost of twentv-five cents an acre. He has not so fully demonstrated the workings of bis niachiive as to pronounce it perfect, but believes it will prove acceptible to the wants ot farm ersPeculiarities of Some Xoted Horses. The Hour.) The , eccentricities of thoroughbred racehorses are as peculiar as those of human be ings. Springbok: was a perfect savage, and would allow no one in his stall save his regular boy, to whom he was as much at tached as he abhorred outside comnanv. Checkmate is very fond of com pany.and likes to be made much of. lie takes caresses with the sheepish manner of an overgrown boy, glad to have them, but ashamed to be petted 1'arole is a bit of a kleptomaniac, lie hai a fancy for handkerchiefs which he aees pro truding from gentlemen s pockets, lie de lights, too, in robbing the ladies who visit him for he has many of their cloaks i r other wraps. Harry Bassett hated barefooted stable bovs so much that he would make every effort to bite their legs'. Constantina would always bolt if on the outside of the cour.-e: if inside, 6he would never think of it, even if she had plenty of chances. Blackburn was like Monarchist he could never be got to extend himself unless the jockey wore his colors. In his work it was next toimpos8ible to get him into a canter. In a race he nearly pulled the jockey's arm out so eager was he to run away from his held. Hindoo is the very opposite. He has no will of his own, but does just what is asked of him, no matter how much, but no more, t-naney Gorhani, another inmate of the Dwyer stable, is so attached to his borne and companions that he could not be taken away f rom it, and he'and Warfield are the thickest of friends. At Saratoga a few years ago he was sold, but he soon forced his way out of his new quarters, and in the morning he was found at his own stable, waiting to be ad mitted into the stall adjoining Warrield's He has his own pail of water, and will not use any other. Farm and Workshop Kotes. Fat is of no value as manure. American merino sheep are beim? sent to Australia. Excess of water in the soil prevents root development. All liquid impurities are liable to flow downward into wells. The catalpa will grow from cuttings, but comes better from seed. For pickling the white spine is considered one of the best cucumbers. Silk culture is receiving attention in every portion of the Unued States,. The Spanish horse is small and has a strong dash of African blood. Galvanized iron will corrode after six or seven years' exposure to moisture. Hungarian grass, or millet, should not be seeded untii tne soil is quite warm. Keglizence in the preparation of seed furnishes the key to many low averages in yield. The nearer a fattening animal a pproiches maturity the greater is the proportion of fat in the gros increase obtained. Paper, made from strong libers can now be compressed into a substance so hard that nothing but the diamond can scratch it. The fats occurring in the animal body are principally etearine, palmetine and oleine. Stearine preponderates in hard fats aud oleine in tiuid fats. Probably the largest apple growers in Maine are J. Pope it Son. of Manchester. who last year raised over 3,000 bushels, of which were Baldwins Cotswold sheep have large, handsome frames, well covered with flesh, aud a great projrensity to fatten, fhetr mutton is apt to be rather coarse grained. A fat calf is G5 per ceut. water and 15 per cent, fat, while an extra fat sheep is öt per cent, water and 45 per cent, fat, and a fat pig is 43 per cent, water and 41 percent fat. Put four or five lima beans in a pot and cover them an inch deep. It is real fun to see them came up. Take care of the plants and set them out without disturbing the root. Deeply-rooted crop?, as wheat, red clover and mangel, are those best fitted to resist drought, while shallow-rooted crops, as grass and turnips, are those that sutler most from it. In England the farmer examines and selects sheep that excel in producing mutton, while iu America the preference is for sheep that produce the heaviest and best fleeces. The oleomargarine factories of New York have a producing capacity of HG,000,OuU pounds annually, while the production of dairy batter iu tue State is oniy 111,000,000 pounds. Whatever he has done or neglected to do in the past, the farmer who has land which can properly be devoted to that purpose should make it a point this year to set a few fruit trees. Horses are social animals, particularly so in the case of young horses. They thrive best when in the society of others, hence the advantage of pasturing several iu one field when practicable. The pigs on the great clieddar dairy farms in England are never fedou whey alone. It is thought more profitable to have a greater number than the whey will support and then supplement by supplies of other food. The beef of Hereford cattle is peculiarly tender and fine grained. For quantity as well tun quality of meat they are not excelled. The capability of the breed as quick feeders and economical produces of meat is unquestionable. There w no wisdom in working a thirtyacre field year after year to get five bushels of wheat or ten of corn tt the acre, when with the scnift . expense for fertilizers you could raiee fifteen bushejs of wheat or thirty f c jrn i'i ten acres. Corncob? .are very valuable, etfrecially after they ara reduced to ashes. They contain a great proportion of potash about 25 peroeiit. and the a-Lcs can be either used for making soa by lea: hitie them or spread on the o;L Cbs furnish a quick, hot fire. A writer in tLe Homestead says: "I do not believe there is anything like it so handy and eflecttial--to dispose a yottng heifer to keep her hind leet still at the first lesson of being milkd, as a small rope tied around the body close back of the forelegs, and twisted tight with, a short stitk." , Remedies for the diseases of sheep are many, but few are effectual. This is owing to the fondness of sheep for companionship. Disease once introduced into a Hock spreads rapidly, and sick sheep, as a general thing, never get well. Farmers who wish tobe successful with sheep should guard them against exposure and contagioa.

The Senselena Extravagance and Financiering; of Kepiihlicauliii, Wild jriymouth Democrat. The management of the money affairs of this country by the Republican officials has been such that an honest man is dazed with astonishment when he attempts to look over the facts and figures as they exist. It discloses such a mass of corrupt jobbery and robbery as to challenge belief, and has no equal even in Turkey, where there is no pretension to honest3 in public affairs, Could the voters know and comprehend the facts as they exist, they would never return another Republican to a natioaal office, we would naturally think. Let the readers of the Democrat take time to look over a few figures, and fix them in the memory : facts taken from good Re4 publican authority the Librarian of the Republican Congress. July 1, 18G1, the total public debt was only about ninety and a half millions in round nunibers,($'JÖ,530,874). There was cash oa hand nearly three millions ($2,362,213), leaving the debt, less cash, about eighty-eight millions ($87,718, 000). January 1, 1N0, the debt was over two thousand seven hundred millions of dollars ($2,773,2:.173). The Republicans had increased the debt in four and a half yeirs over two thousand six hundred millions! From July 1, 1MJ2, to July 1, 1SS1, they collected from ordinary sources, besides Pmii-s about $o,ouu,uuu,uuu: ana up to 18G5, they Pad put out interest-bearing obligations to over $.J,0lW,O00.0O0. January 1, 100. the debt was $2,773.Lr,173; July 1, 1881, the debt was SiOOJ.Oia.ßd:. being a reduction of only $704,222,004. What became ( all the balance of the immense sums 'hey received from net revenue?, besides what they borrowed in shape of bond?, greenbacks, interest notes and in various wavs? They have never told you and never will. So far we have only considered tlie ordi nary sources; customs, internal revenue, di rect tax, lands, premiums and miscella neous. When we come to take in the total re ceipts from all sources, from July 1, 1.1 after Lincoln had been in nearly four months, up to Julv 1, 1871, including two years of Hayes term, we find that thev have receied from all source, including loans, the enormous sum of over fifteen thousand millions of dollars! ($13,700,434.807). Of this thev have got away with $15,4u3, 073,700, aud on July 1, 170, they had reduced the public debt less than eight hundred mill ions ;f dollars; the debt then being$2,245. 403,072. From June SO. 1S52. to June 30, 1S81, they had paid interest to the amount of over two billions ($2. 120,0! 0,790), and for convenience we will credit them with three billions pah on interest atid on.the debt. out of over fifteen billions. W hat became of the otlfer twelve billions? Did it take that sum to run this Government eighteen years over four times the cost of the lour years of war? t mm the beginning of Washington's term down to and including the first four months o Lincoln's term, the total receipts from all sources, including loans and the expenses of carrying on two wars (with England and Mexico), besides the Indian wars, a period of seventy-two years, were a little over two billions of dollars only ($2 231,700,011). The total paid out during that time was abou the same U2,2.;o,m,l3), leaving on hand a little over twenty-four millions of dollars and about ninetv millions of dollars of deht. V ith only eighteen years of uepublican numuenieht, the receipts are over fifteen and three-quarter billions, the disbursement over fifteen billions, leaving on hand about $357.000.000 only, and over $2,200, 000,009 of debt! How could this enormous sum o monev disappear by any other means than fraudulent prattices in the administration of Government? stealing by one set and neglect by another that can neither be ex plained, palliated or forgiven? It is not question &a to Republican or Democrat, bu ne of citizenship; of National and ersonal honor; of decency or disgrace From July 1, 1SG2, to July 1, 18S1, the av erage yearly receipts irom ordinary sources besides loans have been nearlv three hundred and fifty millionsof dollars! ($340, C11.3'k5 52). The average population has been 41,Mj2,22J, making the average to each per son man. woman and child over $8.13, or to each head of a family of five persons an average of $(J3.04 per year. This sum has actually been paid in as revenue. The man of small means has paid in his share in the duties on iron, coal, salt, leather, books, paper, groceries, and whatever he has had to buy, and in other ways, and much more with it, that has gone into the pockets of those protected by a high tarili. The average yearly interest paid has been over one hundred and eleven millions o uoiiars: iii.oo,oj. ims is an average of $2.00 per year to each person, or $13.30, average to each head of a family, yearly, In ls;i, the population was 32,004,000, and the National debt per person was $2.74, and the annual interest per jerson was sixteen cents onlv. In 1S)3 the population was 33,228.000 and the debt per ierson was $78 25; or $301.25 to each head of a family, while the interest per ierson, annualy, was (1 20; or $21.45 lo each head of a family. In 1S81 the population had increased to 51 WK,444. The receipts had been over $15,000.000,000; but the debt was still $35.22 to each person and tbe annual interest $1.45 to each person, or $170.10, and $7.25 to each head of a family respectively. What an appalling exhibit is this to contemplate! What unpardonable villainy is confessed by these statistics! And yet much has been concealed, no doubt. Is not any kind ot a change better than to continue such knaves in office? Are the representatives of the people like the jeople, and are the people wiiliuir to admit that this is the way they would look after a sacred trust? If not, then taese otlicers are knaves and incompetents, who steal or permit stealing and villainous waste, and the people should turn them out and try to put iu those more honest. Jiist Heaven, only think of it! Over $15,700 000.000 collected in actual money. Over $2,100,000,000 paid as interest on a debt uselessly created. Allowing $3,000,000,000 for the cost of the War (and much of that was stealings), and after the War has been over seventeen years, here is le3 than onethird of that debt paid, and over$12, 000,000,009 have been used up in time of peace, without the Rebellion or any other war to account for it. Would any other people than the Americans stand under such a load of fraud and corruption, put upon them by those selected to administer Government? Yet this is the exhibit given us by the Republican officials who ask our further confidence. R. Line In and Morton. Letter from Kansas. 1 Laet nicht, when Judge Usher finished, in a Fecond lecture, his reminiscences of "Lincoln and His Time," be began by relating incidents of the President's great faith in the final success of the Union arms. One day he received a letter from Governor O. P. Morton, of Indiana, filled with forebodings. Everything waa going wrong, and Morton was losing hope. "IJon't you know, Usher," said Lincoln, "that Morton is one of the best Governors we'vagot?" . Judga Usher replied that he so considered him. Well, it's so," reiterated the President;

'but he's the easiest stampeded of any man

you ever saw." Lincoln looked at everything in a hopeful way. When others were crushed by the disasters the armies suffered, he kept his spirits up. It was not until the Confederacy was practically dead after the fall of Richmond that be seemed oppressed, as though the heavy strain had been too much ai;d finally broken him down. CiU Service Reform. Just before each Presidential election, the Republican politicians and editors are in the habit of promising all manner of civil service reform, in case their t artv should not be kicked out. These promises to make political status of secondary consideration to capability and honesty, are never carried out. Mr. Halton. of the Postofficc Depart ment, says that civil service reform is plaved out entirely. As llatton has been a ewspaper man, it would be impossible for him to deviate from the truth, "even if he were to make an heroic effort to shake off his old habit of stating as true nothing but what he knows to be so. But in this instance we are not called upon to rely entirely on Hatton's acquired veneration for the truth. There are numerous and disgraceful illustrations that go to show the only passport to office at ashington is a very stalwart record, com bined with an ability, and also a willingness on the part of the applicant, to rende President Arthur efficient service in 1K84. Grant and Conkling are now in charge of the machine, of whicii Arthur is a very ornamental figurehead. Only a week or so a;o a newspaper man nanu d Dawson, who accompanied and wrote up Grant in his bumming tours around the world, was made stenographer of the Senate in place of a man the only objections to whom were tnat lie was a Democrat and understood lu3 proftss;on. Grant s friend proved to be utterly ncomtretent, and another stenographer had to be substituted. We cite this merely to show how the Republican leaders are carrying out the civil bervice reform plank of their platform. They are carrying it out with a vengeance. There Is nothing new in this line of policy at all. There is a Btale and ancient legend, to the effect that on one occasion the devil got sick, fiom causes not given, but pc-si blv he was prostrated bv the heat Al though all the doctors in the village were' called, . notwithstanding prayers were offered up in the Churchw, bad as be was before, the devil gradually grew worse, until little or no hopes of dia bolical improvement were entertained. Just at this crisis, it occurred tothe distinguished invalid that he bad better push his reform measures, if thev were to pass before ndj jurnment or in the language of the poet, "When the devil got sick The devil a saint would be." Contrary to the hopes of his best friends, he bean to mend, thanks to either his tem perate and virtuous, life, or to the praytrs cf the lailntiu, or to the ellorts of medical science. As soou as the devil began to be a little better, he dismissed his good resolutions, or, in the quaint language of tbe VOtt, wnen tne aevu got wen The devil a saint was he." Just so is it with civil service reform. Whenever there is danger of a change of administration, we have the reform prom ises, which are broken as soon as the danger is over, lhat is what they are made for. Or, changing the simile, Arthur reminds one of tbe landlord whose guests ccm plained of finding hair in the souuT He ex amined the hair, and remarked: "That is all right. That is one of my cook's hairs. but he is very cleanly in her habits. When an incompetent man is appointed to office, Arthur savs: "That's one of Grant's friends. Grant is a very proper rson there is nothing wrong in that appointment," The Art of I)inii;g. N'ature.l The two dinners wliich stand out in our memory as events in our life were of very different characters. The one consisted of brown bread and lard, washed down with some rough countrj'wine, and was eaten in the middle of a lyrolese glacier, lhe otner embraced every delicacy the heart could wish. Our appreciation of the first was due to compulsory fasting for some time previously. Our appreciation of the second was due to its intrinsic merit. In it the dishes seemed to be so arranged that each one stimulated the palate f r the one that succeeded it, and the wines given with each course were so selected as to increase the appetite for, and appreciation of, the solids. We then, for the first time in our life, began to realize that cookery was a fine art. In speaking of the fine arts we generally in elude only those which appeal to the special senses of sight and bearing, such as sculp ture, painting, architecture, music and we rarely think of modes of appealing to the special senses of smell and taste. Yet the latter two are perhaps quite as closely connected with our emotions as the former, and as capable of exciting keen sensations of pain and pleasure. Smell and taste differ from sight and hearing in being much more easily fatigued, and this may partly be the cause of their imperfect cultivation. Another cause is, probably, the closer connection which smell and taste have with the process of nutrition, and the consequent alterations which reeated impressions upon them may have upon the general well-being. A man 'may puss long hours in a picture gallery or concert room receiving impressions good, bad, Jr indiffer ent, without much effort upon digestion or circulation, but a bad odor would quickly excite nausea or sickness, lhe impressionable natures of Southern Italy object to strong perfumes, even thouirh pleasant lhe sense of taste diners in one particular from the other three viz., that, while the agents which excite toeni may remain outside the bxiy, 'he substances which excite tate are taken into the body, and thus bave an action ujmn it independently of their ;iM?re effect upon the seuse itself. In gratifying this tense, therefore, we have to consider not ruertiv wnat will give the Kreatfst pleasure a', the moment bat what will be most smUfacc- ry m its after rssult. fortunately, pleasure to the palate usually aids digestion, if obtained in tne proper way; but comparatively few eople know the art of dining projwrly themselves, and still fewer know how to give good dinners to their friendf. Indiana Coiigrefc&ional Campaign. (Special to the Cincinnaii C'jtniaerf.ial. Washington, May 1. A prominent Indiana politician, who t-a jut returned from a visit to his native Stüle, told your correspondent to-d y that nearly all the peeiit Republican delegation would b remmiinaied, ia his opinion. Mr. Gnh would liae sme opposition before the convention front "Joe" Gray, of Nobiesville, who came witr in hlf a vote of being .nominated before. There was some opposition also within the Kepublican ranks to Mr. Heilman, but his District was close, and if it should look doubtful the rest would step aside and be glad to let Mr. Heilman mako the fight. He thought Mr. Heilman was not anxious to run again. He considered it safe to say that Sieele, Pierce, DeMoite and Calkins "would all be renominated, as Peele had been alrealy. It was understood that Mr. Calkins lias consented to accept the nomination again, although iv; was anxiou t take advantage of a Try promising business offer as an attorney for a wealthy railroad corporation. He had carried the District three times, twice when it was considered a forlorn hope, and if he should not run next fail aud the Democrat should carry it, his friends might think that tbe loss of the District was owing to his unwillingness to make the canvass. It was, therefore, understood that Mr. Calkins would take the nomination once, more, and there was no doubt that it would be offered him unanimously. As to the Democrats, there was opposition to the nomination of Cobb and Stockslager, and the latter, at least, could hardly be nominated. As to the election, he considered the loss of.twoor

three Republican Districts extremelv piob-1

able. It was the "off" year, and uuder the circumstances Steele, Heilman and IVcile's District were very doubtful, aceoruit.6 to the pre? entoutlook. Infernal Machines. Chicago Tlmea. New Yokk, April 30. Postmaster Pear son to-day sent the infernal machines which bud been addressed to W. H. Vauderbiit and Cyrua W. Field to Professor Doremus to examine the contents of the canisters contained in trie pasteboard boxes, the liquid in the glass bulbs and tubes, and the cement by which the bulbs and tubes were fastened in their places in the box. Dr. Doremus spent several nours in making a thorough examination of the infernal machines, and then made the- following report to Postmaster TearsOn : DEAitSirt The llqui l iu the bulb Is sulphuric a-id, whicn, if brought in cobtact with gun-I-owder and chlorate of ioUu.h, even in sma!l quantities, will caii.-c the powder to explixle. In the KusMün war witn Knglaud atid rrauce. the Russians, 1 am told, t ainted receptacles cf guupowder In tne ground in f.-out t.f e basloin.il, and placed on top of such charge a small glass tulb with sulphuric acid, and undetceath it a mixture f sugar and chlorate i f potash, so that wheu the bulb was trodden on the pla-sa would breiik, and tne acid would come in tfuisct with the chlorate tf potash and sutrar, lire it, and thus fire the Runpowder. i'KOKtSMOK K. (HiDKN DuKEMl S. In further explanation of the machine Professor Dorenics said that this cement nsed to fasten the tubes to the end of the box was chlorate of jotash and sugar, such as was nsod in the Crimean war. Each of the canisters contained one pound of gun cotton, the explosive power of which would be four times greater than an equal quantity of gunpowder. . Postmaster Pearson said this evening: "I have placed the matter for investigation iu the hands of Postotiice Ihspectors Samuel Gardner ijid L. A. Newcomb, but they have made no reort as yet. The fact that a similar box wrapped in a copy of the YolksZeitung was thrown mto the vestibule of the residence of J. Davenport, No. 311 Eist Nineteenth street, last evening, which was evidently intended for Superintendent Walling, whom Mr. Davenport retemblesand who lives at a similar house at No. 310 lvist Nineteenth street, couliimsmy opin ion that the attempt to injur-thts-e lueit ha: been made bv some socialists or Commun ists, who really have never, directly or indirectly, been irjured by Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Field, or ilr. Walling. Their job from beginning to end aptears to have been so crudely planned and bung;.r.g!y executed as to preclude the possibility ot its being the werk of intelligent men, or of men who knew anything tkrsoually cf the men tfbo were intended as victims, e!se why thould another house have tern mistaken forthat of Mr. Walling, or why should the package of Mr. Yanderbilt been addressed to No. 430 Fifth avenue, when Mr. Vanderbilt moved to his new mansion. No.- fiö Fifth avenue, fully two months ago. To-day being Sun day, it has been im possible to reach the em ployes ol the 1 ostothce to question tiieni and get any possible knowledge any f them have in regard to the packages, but they will ba thoroughly examined to-morrcw." The parcel which Daveujort picked up i:i his vestibule was loom to tonsiot f ac.carb(X, wrapptd in a copy cf tr e Volk Zeitung. A stout wire wiuiml tbe whole. At. the end of the cigar-box was a email hole, through which a fuse hnd evidently been passed. A quantity of scotched cjtlon wadding nearly filled the box. which, according to every indication, hud once contair-td more or less powder. Of the manner of igniting there was no positive evidence. ir far a cuuld be discovered the box had been placed in the vebtibule immediately after Mr. Davt noon's entrance. A Story About. Grant. Judge Urhcr, in a recent letter, tells. ith great unction, a story .bout General Grant at the time he received bis com mi.-si on as Litu enant -General of tt:e Army. Graant was always an enigma to Lincoln, as indeed it may be said lie tu always been tothe American people txnd be never could ut:derstai.d him.

Hut, to resume tl.e ether M'-i y nb-.-Ml Grant and his Lteutenunt-Ueacrid'a comu;ision: He was called to 7a?hirgto:i to receive the comnvssion, nr:d the President had called a meeting of the Cabinet. Coming from the field Grant was not very elaborately dresed, so he bought a suit of clothes for the occasion regular hand-me-downs, worth probably $33. The clothes didn't fit: but that didu't worry Grant at all, for he bestowed as few thoughts upon what hewore as any man in the army. The Cabinet meeting Whs held, and Grant was present The President made a little sjK'ech and handed Grant his commission. The latter rose to reply, and, leaning upon a chair, began his response. He had evidently not studied it thoroughly, for he halted and stammered, and at la.t, finding his memory failing him altogether, he dived in a side coat pocket and fished out his manuscript. Although tie had recited about half of it, he began at the first ami read the whole thing through, and then sat down, uneasy, embarrassed, and wishing probably that all speech-making was where the Confederacy soon would Le. While the scene in a measure was ridiculous, nobody felt like laughing the times were too serious; yet the incident, efterward irctlleil, hi.s doubtless provoked many a smil Grant is a Uiient man now to what he vai then, and it wa-j a painful iosition for him to he placed in, yet ho thought he onjht to s:iy ?Ofuethirsr to show his ppreciation of the new honor ihey had conferred. Attorney Ueiirikl. L:i porta Argus.

Pnil'do News Ti.e s'ory oi tho survivors of the Jeannette, who for iuunths were compelled to re main aboard of a ship which threatened to sink from under Iheir feet every hour, is one of the saddest that has been (riven to the world in many a day. The liberality of James Gordon Bennett, who fret the brave fellows afloat upon a ship which could not steam to exceed four knots an hour, and offered no resi-dence to the ice when it cloed in upon her, begins to be questioned. The ship which wnt to the Arctic Ocean years ago could wcl.s.iiii.l more pressure than the eggshell Rennett sent out as an advertising scheme. v Poader on These Truths.
