"Chicago Faria and Fiel I.J "We are satisfied that the frrowth of youn olta. in their early stages, depends upon the dams. Much is attributed ta the sire, especially if the co't partakes of his form and characteristics, but we have noticed that tome marts always raise line colt?, no matter what kind of a horse the sire may be, bat uch rxares always give the colt plenty of milk from the start. A tcare that does not afford sufficient nourishment will not suceetd in raiein? a good colt. Kven the small nitivemare9, if capab!e of giving sufficient ruiik, have no diilieulty m supplying colts sired by the heavy Clydesdales and rercLerons, and it is oitea tre case, cn the other side, that the fceaviest and Jdronpest mares produce colts that make bat little growth. Ths principal poiLt, therefore, ia selecting a brood mare, ia to be satisfied that she ia one that gives a large quantity of milk, and in order to be governed in the matter mares should he selected that have previously borne colts end .had no diüicalty with them. The first six months of the life of a colt is the most important. If it receives do check in its growth darinjr that period it will secure a start that will place it beyond doubt as it becomes older, but if, from insnüicieüt nourishment it is regarded while very younjr. we venture to allirni that no matter how it is bred nor from what sire, the colt will be smaller in size than the average and fail to make a lare and powerful bore. "When one is lucky to posses a mare that is fruitful, find known to furnish her colts witii a plentiful supply of mile, she should be nsed lor breediü purposes exclusively, and she will pay a hat.dsorne prolit, for her colts will make rapid growth, et-11 at a hia price and be larcer at two years than other rolta not so fortunate, at three years of ae. Sach a mare should not be sold, no matter how imperfect she may appear in form, nor ho.v seeraipjrly incapable she may be. If she possesses a lar;e udder, and gives a fair quantity of milk, the will raise her colts without difficulty and with but little care from her owner. Althoupk we have defended the proline mare, we must not forget that while the dam supplies the ctcessary materials for rapid growth, the form, color and characteristics are largely inrlnenced by the sire. If a colt ia worth raising it should be well bred. Tnis defends upon the kind of horse denred. For the farm a cro3s with the lare breeds is the beet. Some object to such a cross as beim too violent, but the claim is not sustained. The un'on of the larse breeds with our native mares gives a horse with the light bone and activity of the natives combined with the strength, size and intelligence of the larger kind. If the colt is bred with a Tiew to improvement bis va'ue will be doubled. A good well bred two-year-old colt will sell at a price rangins any where from JJ.'fO to $öOO, and up to that aire the cost of raising bim will be but a small sum, but an inferior colt will cost fully as much and sell fcronly one-calf the amount. Measuring Standing Grain. An officer in the English navy has constructed a table for estimating, with all needfal accuracy, the amount of wheat on an acre of land, before it is harvested. The esti mate can be made as s oon as the rrain is ripe. Make a wood or iron frame one yard square, carefully let it down over the stand irr grain, and then shell and weich all the grain on the straws belootring inside that frame. If a circular "crop form," as he calls it, is more convenient, make it six feet nma and a quarter inches in diameter, of halfinch iron. 1 rora this elaborate table, we extract the following: 2 ounces per sir. yard eir.als 10.03 ba. per acre V'j " 12.60 :v4 ' M.SS " 3 la. 12 3Ja " " 17.tr. " " " 4 .. .. m .. 2(U7 ., 4 oj J at at i ir'l " " 2)ü3 " " e " " ' .c3.2. " " -10 Si ' " There estimates are on the ba3;.3 of sixty pounds per Lu?hel. The two and a halt ounces I er souare yard is about the average yield ot wheat per acre in America; the five and three quarters ounces per square yaru is iae average in ureal liritain. How Late to Sow Feas. As a custom, peas are never seen on the table in the fall. In tie Northern States they may be put in a3 late as the first of reptemcer with comparative safety, and in the South still later; and, provided the sea son is cot too dry, they will return a good yield. Peas prefer a cool atmosphere, not tco coJd, However, but they also like a warm toil. The hot, dry, parching droughts do them preat injury ween the yines are younir. but when they are high enough to shade the soil they act as a partial mulch to them selves, and thereby keep the proper tempera te re lor maturing the crop, l eas are easily frown, and we advise a late crop. Cabbage for Winter. Late cabbage may head if transplanted itow. but much depends upon the season, rn the Kouth if set out now they will bead by November, and may be stored for winter use with the roots in the cround and the heads covered with straw' and brush. Cabbage must be worked now as often as possiHe, especially if put out late. A slight sprinkling of guano around the hills shows wonderful effect on them. The disease known anion? them as club-foot is due to growing them successively several years on the same location. A change to new ground always does best lor this crop. Turnips fur the Table. Tnrnips are now beine enioved by some ut the tenderest are thoee that are collect I while the tops are bright and preen. AI though this crop keeps well, there is stil time for a late Bowing for small ones. As we aaentioned in our last issue, a sowing of tar sips should be made for winter greens, they answering ail the purposes of kale. While the rata bagas are preferred by many, tb.9 cat, white turnip is really the best for the table, but has a tendency to become woody sooner than the rata bajas, and hence a lat3 sowing tt:s montn will be found an advan tage. Sfinarh for Autumn Use. Spinach is a haroy plant and answers well for winter use. Ire autumn crop may be sown now, and that intended for winter may be sown next month. The seeds may be sown in drills or broadcast. As the grass makes quick beau way, especially after the rains, the better plan is to sow the seeds in rows and keep clean with the hoe. The fact that cabbage is plentiful in the fall should not deter gardeners fron patting in spinach also. It is the variety that makes the gardea crcps luxuries, and anything that can be added to the fall crops should be accepted ana z&aae a partoi toe general rotation. !Wre Remedies for Cabbage Worms. A anything thai is worthy of trial should Be made Known, we give the following as an addition to the remedies made known in ocr last; "One pound of whale oil soap dis solved in six gallons of water, and applied two or three times darin the season. Two hundred grains of Persian insect powder mixed witn two gallons of water and sprin

kled on the plants. Twenty parts of snper-

boppbate of lime, three p&rts of fresh airslaked lime and one part oi carbolic powder scattered three or four times upon each head of cabbage. Lima Beans Without Stakes. Mr. McAfee, Superintendent of the Uni versity of Wisconsin Experimental Farm, informs cs that for three years past he has grown Lima beans without poles or stattes, by persistent pinching baca alter tney reacn be desired Height about that ot comrnou bunch beans. He is confident the crop is very jerceptibly earlier and thinks it is increased in Quantity the plant being checked n its crow th of vine, expending lis energy in fruit production. POl'LTKY NOFKS. The want of pure and fresh water accounts in many instances for the lack of ezj dar ing the winter season. Fowls require a constant supply of water, and without it will not lay. Chickens, 6tich as Asiatic, should never be allowed to perch until about six months old or the breast bone will be liable to become crcoked. There is no care, and it is a dis qualification for exhibition fowls. There is no use in cleaning your poultry houses unless you burn the old nests. They will harbor more of the various kinds oi poultry parasites than you can ever extermi nate with a whitewash brush. It costs no more to raise the best breeds of poultry than the common barnyard fowl, wbilu the returns are more than double. Get a setting of e!T3 from some reliable breeder and convince yourself of thi3 fact. The time is at hand when yo t should care fully examine your beu bouse and fortify it against the army of insects so injurious to jour fowls. A careful use of kerosene oil will keen ofTlice. Ccal tar is a' so frequently used to kood ailvantae for the same pnrpOEP. Ap ly it with a brush into every crack and crarice wbera time i3 any chance for vermin and it will keep them oil'. It is a certainty that raisins poultry for ecz Production pays the farmer. Asa general thing the fowls that the farmer keeps in his barnyard, and on which he expend3 but little, pay best of all nis live-stocic, but when attention is capecially paid to fowls, properly led. housed and attended, alter deducting thecoftof keeping, care, interest per cent, from the amoutit . for which their eggs sell, theie i3 in nine cases out of ten, a larger balance on the credit side of the ledaer than is found in connection with any single departmeut of farm industry. Rural Houie. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If a little kerosene is mixed with stove polish it will assist preatly in improving the looks of a rusty stove. Oxalic acid will almost always remove f tains left by mud which can not be removed with scap and water. If a baby is hoarse at night, take a small pit ce of oil tilt, rub a little lard er animal oil of any kind over it and fasten it next his skin, over the chest. It may be pinned with tsiuall safety pitta to bis wrapper. A fastidious convalescent may be deluded into tafcine more nourishment than he knows of, or is willing to take, by having the jr lk of aa erg stirred into his morning cup of co.iee. Leal the eg very light. What is the difference between cocoa and chocolate? Borth are n.ade from cocoa beans, but a large part of the fatty matter the "cocoa butter ' is tisen from tho former, while all of it is left in the chocolate. Ooci'8, therefore, is Jess rich than chcoUte, and is regarded as much more digestible. It is stated that sackcloth and canvas can be luaJe a3 imprevious to moisture as leather by stepping it in a decoction of one pound of cSk bark with fourteen pounds of boiling water. This quantity is suflicieuc for eitht yards of Stull I he cloth ha. to soak twenty-four hours, when it is taken out, past-ed throoih running water and bung up to dry. lhe tlax aud hemp libers, in ab sc r hing the tannin, are at the same time better bttcd to resist water. Impregnation of the atmosphere of a sick chamber when the patient is ill of diphthe ria, measles, scarlet fever, or of any allied disease, with the odor of a mixture of equal rarts of turpentine and carbolic acid, is rec ommecded by a celebrated physician. Half a teaspoonful of tee mixture will be enough at a time, if it is put Into a kettle of water kept near the bomng point. The odor gen erally gives some relief to the sufferer, and tends to prevent the spread of the malady. The rubber rings used to assit in keeping the air from fruit cans sometimes become so dry and brittle as to be almost useless. They can be restored to a normal condition, usually, by letting them lie in water in which you have put a little ammonia. Mix in this proportion: One part ammonia and two parts water. Sometimes they do not need to lie in tlm more than live minutes. but frequently a half hoar ia needed to re store thtir elasticity. 1AIUV XOTKJ. Here is the way that John T. Ames, of Northfield, Minn., told the Dairymen's Asso ciation he put up hay : "Apply a mixture of two quarts slacked lime and one and a half quarts of salt, with a little sulphur, to every load of hay. He stores his hay rather green, letting it cure in the mow." The Utica Herald tells of a dairyman who was troubled witn the smell or garlic or wild onions iu the milk. To obviate this be cut the cows in the stable about o'clock every afternoon and fed them on hay and gave grain as usual. The result was all be an ticipated. A rest of three boars allowed the scent to pass oil in other secretions, though previously it uavored bo tu mile aad batter. There are many reasons given why creamery butter, as a rule, sells higher than diary butter. The teeret of it probably lies here: It is better butter, aud one prime rason for its being better is becausj t!ie man who makes the butter does not own the mile, and therefore has to stand the criticism of those who do furnish it. When a niin has fifty or 10O persons woodering why he does not get the hihst maraet price for his butter be is very apt to doit. When th? bolter-maker owns all the milk he is too f aly satisfied with the quality of his make of batter. American Dairyman. Mr. H. B. Curler, of DrKalb County, HI., in a If ctrre before tne North western Dairymen's Association, states, in his experiments in fat ening plxs. he nsed milk alone at first The ie?ult showed that it required sixteen pounds of skim milk to produce a pound of pork, live weight, which with pork worth four cents per pound, would make the milk worth twenty-live cents per 100 pounds. The experiments with corn for feeding gave variable results, the hogs giviug from nine to thirteen pounds increase of pork for each bushel of corn fed. If the cows get to pasture before they drop their. calves it will often stimulate the milk glands.to such an extent as to 11 the udder with milk several days bffore calving. In such caes the wilk should be drawn out at once. Serious injury may result from the long continued distention of the udder, which becomes painful, or from the absorption of the milk bask into the system, poisoning the blood by the fever it takes with it. The better the animal as a milk producer the greater the danger from this cause, which is one reasen way so many of our fancy animals die from milk fever. These causes enfeeble more constitutions than bad breeding or high feeding with stimulating food. In feeding cows for milk it is a common practice to rive each cow a pailful of water in which a liberal quantity of bran has been stirred. This produces a large Mow of milk, e; peciaily if the water i3 warm, but it is a big chore to feed a large number of cattle in this way. That enterprising young farmer, 8. C. Dämon, of Lancaster, Mass., has a way of doing this that avoids much work. A trough or tub, well-covered to protect it from frost, is set in the barnyard near the watering trough, to that it can be readily filled with water. A small iron pipe or hose

carries steam from the boiler to the trongh. !

Tbe water is heated enough to take the chill off and two or three boshel3 of bran are stirred in. The cover is laid aside, and the cows are turned out and allowed to drink of the mixture all they want. It would be still mure convenient to have the trough in win ter where the cows could get to it without eoini outdoors. If one hasn't a boiler to urnish steams, a little iteam beater won't cost much and will do the work to perfec tion. ew Lngiand Homestead. FRUIT ITEMS. A farmer, of Enfield, Conn., reported to the Connecticut Board of Agriculture that from his one and a quarter acre peac h orchard set seven years ago, he has already realized $2,CT;0. Ilia peaches have retailed in Boston at 20 cents each. Ground can not well be made too rich for currants and gooseberries. Plant in rows four feet apart and three feet apart ia the rows; give thoroush culture or deep mulch over the entire surface, cut out all wood of three years' rrowth (or after each cron is often considered better), and a good crop is almost certain. To make good crafting wax, take one pound of beeswax, four pounds of resin, one pint of linseed oil; melt slowly and pour into cold water enough to soften sufficiently to allow wrking. Make the wax up into little balls one inch thick and keep iu water in the cellar when not in use. Beeswax, to make good grafting wax, must be pure. An enemy of the grape, in the form of a grape-seed grub, has been discovered. The ergs are deposited by a small black Uy upon the sim of the grape, and tue young graas work tbeir way into the immature seeds soo:i after hatching. Tbe infested fruit usually shrivels in midsummer. Th best remedy for the pest is to gather and burn the aücted grapes. . AcrordiBtr to tbe Indiana Farmer, a man near Nashville, Tenn., is making a prori table basin sa growing nersimmons. lie ha3 re alized as much as $10 a bushel for his best cultivated variety, and has devoted a gooily portion of his land to a persimmon orchard, with the intention of showing the American people juit what can be done with a product that growa in every old held in the fcoutnern and Central States, and has heretofore been looked upon as little lees than a nuisance. Farmers who are ordering fruit trees should not let the opportunity pass of procuring two or three or more ornamental shrubs or vines. Money is well spent which adds to the beauty and attractiveness of an estate. A pretty vine over a rock, a wall or oq the side of a building is a profitable investment. If vegetable seed3 are being ordered of a seedsman, let the women of the household order their euare of flower seeds. At least enc iortion of the farm should be orna mented. Growing strawberry plants need a generous supply of water, says the American Garden. From the day when the first blossoms appear until the well developed fruit is ready to be plucked, the soil where strawberry vines stand taouM b kept very ruoi-jt. The cn.p of fruit is often damaged sef.oady by one or two days of hot and dry weather when the plants are in blosiorn, or soon after the berries begin to grow. Th03 who succeed in producing ruamm-ith berries use manure unstinted and keep the soil moist. Writing to tbe Inter Ocran, an Illinois ftrawberry grower says: "Vacant spaces mav occur in tbe rows of plants and should be Tilled np tbe next soring, using the plants which have voluntarily come up in the Harden. I-'or strawberries take out a spadeful of earth where tiie rui&dng plant should have ben, then lift a strawberry plant, in a spadeful of dirt, set it carefully in the hole, pull dirt around to fill up, and tramp.it in. The plant will never feel the etTects of removal, but go on growing without intermission. Do the same with raspberries and blackberries, and you can have full rows." Almost all plants are benefitted by mulihin, which prevents the evaporation of moisture from the soil and gathers more from the atmosphere. tuinces and raspberries, both black and Ted, ara especially benefitted by it. These fruits require a moist soil and frequently sufler from a summer drought. The rocts of the quince grow very near the surface and the mulch keeps the soil in perfect order without digging and breaking the feeding roots. If the weather should prove droughty, raspberries, unniulched, will frequently succeed in ripening not more than two-thirds of the berries, the balance drying np, while if mulched all the berries that set will be ripened. Free Tfde and Protection. IBoston Herald (Rep.). An apparently honest enquirer asks the Herald to tell him and his fellow-working-men why free trade is better than protection for them. It should be remembered that there is no issue this year between free trade and protection. The tariff question this year is whether $100,000,000 a year more than the Government need3 shall be taken from the pockets of the people, and so much force unnecessarily abstracted from the motive power of industry. There is no possibility for free trade for years to come, we regret to say. The tariiT revision proposed by the Ways and Means Committee last winter was a redaction averaging about 17 per cent, or oae-sixth of the present duties, leaving live-sixths, and in no case tbe duty to be lower than it was under the protective Morrill tariff of IStil. Only two-thirds of the Democrats in the TJoase voted for that modest reduction, and the number of Republicans who voted for it conld be counted on the finders of one hand. The question to-day, therefore, is whether the prosperity ct the country can ba increased by unnecessarily taxing our own people and not any other people. That is to say, if the government had an income from ordinary sources just eaoaU to meet its eipemes, Bomebody makes this proposition: Lay new taxes on the people of this country, amounting to $ 100.00:,00 a year it w:ll incrae thir prosperity. The advantages enjoyed by a workingmin in this country are not dependent on protection. They come from the great resources of the country, tbe abundance and cheapness of land, and free institutions. A niau id wsrth more to himoflf litre than in any oiher country niitatail because of protection, but to soift extent because of free trada with his feilow-citizrs over the whole extent of our national domain. Free trade is the rule today with nine tt-othsof all oar transactions. Is it protection i oue-tenth that mkes us prosperous? Fiee trade is better than protection, because freedom is better than slavery in all thirgs. The law of free trade is to turn in du?try In the most profitable channels. Tue law of protection is to encourage industry into channels where it labors under disadvantages. For illustration: Protection builds up the manufacture of silk in this country by taxation which exceeds the aggregate wages of operatives employed in that industry, and drives tbe American l!ag from t:,.e ocean, notwithstanding our great advantages for maritime business, so that the balance of freights against us is $120,000.003 a year. Better save the carrying trade and give up the exotic silk industry. Free trade would be better than protection for workingmcn, because the workingmen are the largest consumers in proportion to their income. Protection can not increase wages, which are fixed by competition, but it does in many cases increase the cost of living. On the theory that all taxation ultimately comes out of labor, protection is simply a burden on workiagraen, and exclusively on them. There ia no protection for labor in the "protective" tariff. The idea that there is is a device of politicians. If workingmen strike, manufacturers send to Earope for others who will work cheaper. There is no tariff on labor. It is a fact which can not be disputed that the lowest wages piid in this country are in so-called "protected" industries. Can These Things He ? Springfield (Mass.) Republican. "We have known for many years a story which would prove very harrowiDg to the

Blaine family, but which would have no proper bearing on Mr. Blaine's fitness for the Presidency ol the United States, and which has never before been alluded to in these columns. Whether it is true or not we have never sought to discover, and never shall. General Garfield's opponents in 1SS3 acted with entire propriety in abstaining from making this side of his character an issue. ATTACK1NO CLEVELAND.

A Republican Taper of Buffalo in Mis Defense. Referring to the recent slanders or Governor Cleveland, the Buffalo Times (Republican) eays: The Times bas a word to Fay about the attack tbal is lna'le by a portion of the prw upon trie personal character oi Governor Cleveland, lor no (Uber reason, apparently, than that b3 is a cacd;date for Prtdidtut. It )k a well-kDonn fact that the Times was first acu foremost iu tbo vigorous opposition to bis nomination, and, as a leuder in that movement, has tlie nuhr, if any papr may lay jast claim to tbe prerogative, to resort to extraordinary incisure to oppose bin election. While engaged in tte effort to defeat Grover Cleveland's election, howevtr, the Times desirjs apain tu enter its emphatic protest ajaiost tbe unwise attempt that it made to dra the unfortunate secrets of his privato life lato discussion, and to denoance tbe dissraeeful proposition that such an assault is justifiable in tbe present instance. When Mr. Cleveland was presented to the people Of BuOalo as a candidate for Mayor, tbo scanaals that are now circulated broadcast were as wed known as they are to-dny. However generally tbey way have been discussed privately at tlntt time. It is a fact that they were not Lruubt up publicly as an objtcuoa to his tuitts for that honorable office. Aealn, in lSS2,when he was put forward.as a candicale lor Governor, the same justification that it isciaLned exists now fr pu'jiiihios ni private alTairs to the worM, as an objjci'on to his election, wan prusent then, and y. i no oio felt called upon to oppose bis promotioa ou the-e psrsoual Eroui.ds.

It will be remembered he was generally rearJv! a." a good encash man for the uorainatlon, aad tne question naturally arises wherein he Is different ia that reapect at present as a candidate lor President? Tbe Times, while opposed to Mr. Cleveland's election, submits that lac aosanlt upon his pnvtte character at this late day, is net lair play. It Is cod ti ar y to tbe usages even of the bitter customs ofjolilienl warfare and unworthy of the influence that may be exerted by the press in beh tlf ef one rarty or the otner in a National campion. Above all tbinRs, it would seem, that B i.Tilo, whoKe citizens Lave twice honored Mr. Cleveland with their support for high otticial honors in tbe face of the scandals that were generally known about his private character, should be the la.Jt place where these woald be dragged into public OiM-usMon st this la t j day. The time has coue by when the public rdionld be called upon to pas judgment uonn Mr. Cleveland's ntuehJi for election to tae Pra-i lency oa tne jirouncs of the allcf; d inimora'ities of his p ist life.

TUE SI LEX r VOTERS. Ex-Senator Stockton Say a the Element ot Silent Voters ia the Moat Important in the ComiDg Contest. f Washington Special. A very enthusiastic Democrat is ex-Sena tor btocxton, of 2sew Jersey, who is in town consulting with political friends. He said to-day, in an interview: "There is a most extensive disaffection in the Republican janks. The independent voters com ing to the Democrats wul be large. ai d that will be nothing compared with the acquisitions from the Republican ranks proper. The element of silent voters is tne most important in tne coming contest. There are thousands upon thousands of Republicans who will refuse to support Ulaine and who will cast their votes for Cleveland. They Eay nothing and will never be heard from, except through their votes. Ihey are men who do not take any active part in politics, and they say nothiug because they do notwaut to draw fire upon themselves. This will be felt, and deeply feit, in the com ing struggle." "How about vour own State?' 'New Jersey is a Democratic State, and everything is in an excellent condition there now. There is no trouble in the party what ever; we will carry the state by a good majority." "Tue Republicans claim that they can carry it on the tariff issue." "There is no foundation for such a claim," replied the ex-Senator. "In the first place. the Democratic platform is entirely satisfactoiy to the manufacturers throughout the State, and secondly, the tanll will be en tirely lost sight of in the contemplating ef mere Important and pressing matters, lhe republican party has put up a represea'a tive man, and we have chosea one to represent high principles. The tiht will be one of principle. It will be a victory of the high principles of party. I do not speak aeaiiist Blaine personally. I leave that srt of businf ss to those who delight in personal vitti peration. I speak of the party. Tne Republican administration has been, from tbe start, the worst and most corrupt in the world, and bas grown wurs-j every yer. The party leaders ackuowledge it them selves, Conklmz, when he sounded tbe key-note of Garfield's campaign declared that the party was the inot cor rupt In the world; bat claimed that they had the tower of cleaning themselves and wou'd. They would work oat tbeir own reformation. be said, and thay began by purchasing the Presidency. Thii was on top of the fraud of four years before. The Garfield Admin is tration was purchased, and the machine set at work by such men as Dorsey, Brady, Klkins, Iiiaine, as I Lave said, represents the party. In this selection tbsv are honest for once. The nomination of Cleve land represents all the old Democratic principles and more. It is the work of a pew element of young men, who add new issues to the old ones, and he will com mand votes irrespective of party. We will carry States no one now dreams of, aud we will carry Ohio. Indiana, Wisconsin, New Jersey, New York (bevond doubt). and no one knows what others, besides the regular Democratic States." THAT lll'lTALO X5ALL. The I'd savory Indiana Record of the Man Tfho Makes Scandalous Charges Against Cleveland. (Communicated. It is a burning shame and a disgrace to the Christian religion, and to those of its expon ents who are really what they profess to be. followers of Him who said of the erring Mary Magdalene, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone," that such men as Rev. Mr. Hall, of Buffalo, New York, are allowed to profane the holy office he assumes, by dig ging deep into the kith of hia own moral nature, and attempting to throw tbe mire of his own making upon the spotless record of

a man like Grover Cleveland. No wonder

there is so much infidelity and doubt among the rising generation, when Buch wolves in sheep's clothing as he are allowed to stand up as examples of the teachings and influences of Christianity. Robert Incersoll shines like an archangel before such a man. (jive me the honest outspoken infidel, who simply fights history and theories, to the hypocrite who draws the cloak of religion about him, and yet dabbles in the deepest mua oi pontic!?, ine people of oar county could not expect much of Mr. Ball, though, when they remember the record he made in a small village of our county, when he was here nly a year or so ago. Does he remem ber the insult he pave a Christian lady in the town oi OwensviUe. tbe bem of whose ewment Mr. Bill is not worthy to touch, and does Mr. Ball remember the choice he was given to make an apology to the lady or take a sound threshing, and of course he choose the former, and by that means misled his train and had to stay in OwensviUe another day. Shame on politics in the pulpit, there is en tirely too much or it. and entirely too many man like the Mr. Ball, of Buffalo. If there were one lets the world would be better off. Baitist. Gibson County, Aug. 5. The Cleveland Scandal. INew York Evening Post (Rep.). To the Editor ol the Evening Tost: ik I hope you will Fay Eomethln concerning the wretchtd social (candal now extensively circulating in the West, involving Governor Cleveland. I do not myself give any credence to the gross allcgstions, bat mauy anti Blaine men may be led to waver iu their oppoaitton to politic! corruption if they have any remou to fear that i:i su(.''ui i. j t-ioviauu wicy may n-j saui;wuiiiu$ or oobdonim: social corruption. If. as I believe, there Is tin prouud for tha base charge, what condemnatiou auniricntly Revere can ba visited upon a to-called religious journal, tbe Chicago Advance for printing Kev. Mr. Hurst' letter n weich tne cüarsca are made in detail? Wr. Hurst purports to io a fapibt rlerzrman ot Buffalo, end, 11 be has not positive, overwhelming prool of the iniquities with which he charges tlie reform Governor, he ou?ht to wear Flriped clothes and have a daily hour ot devotion at the whlDpin? yoft. If there is any truth in these statements it would very seriously a fleet the canvas lor Cleveland, end plRce him and his supporters in a very painful pesition. As this seeing to far exceed the average campaign concoction, will you please favor me and several thousand others witn your views upon these slanders, as I fully believe them to be? F. C. Eaton. Cleveland, O., July IC We have seen the scandalous Tand revolting story alluded to, and we have only a few words to S3y regarding it We do not believe that the American people will ever elect a notorious libertine and a proli-ate to the cilice cf President of the United States. At all events we shall never lend our aid to the election of such a man. Presumptive evidence that Governor Cleveland is not such, is furnished by his election as Mayor of liuf falo and as Governor of New York without tbe breath of suspicion that his character was of tbe kind ascribed to him in the disgusting story printed in the Buffalo Telegraph and circulated in other ways; also by the fact that the story when printed caused almost as much surprise at Buffalo as in other parts of the country. A seducer and debauchee ccmes to be known as such in his own neighborhood without mistake, aud it is. unreasonable to suppose that if such were Governor Cleveland's character, the best people in Buffalo (for they were the best aud not the worst) should have cho-en him for the highest oliice in their gift, and that the clergyman who now writes to the Advance should have remained dumb while all this immorality was going on. The case bears all the marks of an isolated and long-past error, revived, not by any aggrieved party, but for the purpose of drawing attention away from Mr. Blaine's railroad transactions, and exaggerated and colored to suit the most depraved tastes. If it is intended to set up a atandaad which would have ruled Hamilton, Franklin, Jefferson, Webster, and Clay out of pnblic life, the attempt will hardly succeed. Nevertheless, we shall not knowingly support a seducer or a notorious proiligate for any high office. The charge preferred azainst Governor Cleveland that he is a seducer is made on its face impossible by the fact that the charge relates to a widow. The remaining allegations are th.it he subsequently treated his "victim" with cruelty by loc&ing her up in an insane asylum, and that in other ways he acted a dishonorable part. All this, we venture to say, is a lie. It has no support whatever, is not authenticated by any responsible pei son or anybody who claims to know tbe real facts. It is evidently put forth on the supposition that, as there is one grain of truth in the whole mass, and as there is a woman in the case who is, perhaps, leading a respectable life, those who know the real facta and who could contradict the lies will keep silence for her Eake, and in order to spare the feelings of friends and relatives. There are scoundrels base enough to work upon this hypothesis. If this is the basis aud theory of the attack upon Governor Cleveland, as we believe it is, the recoil upon its authors and promoters will be something that they will remember long after the campaign is ended. We may add further, as a valid reason for cot discussing an isolated charge of this kind against any public man, that there is no werse place for the examination of such a charge than tlie columns of a newspaper, and no worse time than a heated campaign. We have too much respect for human nature to insist that any respectable man shall defend himself against such an accusation through the columns of the press, and everybody knows well how many rascals stand ready to invent or magnify such accusations against anybody, even the purest, who shows any sensitiveness to them. Pienty of offers to cover Mr. Blaine with slime of this sort are already afloat, but we trust, for the credit of the American name, he will never be called to meet any imputations but those which touch his official conduct. What the HufTiUw fill pit Has Done Springfield (Mass.) Republican. 1 Our weekly exchanges come to us loaded with the filthy story; the newsboys on the streets, even to the remote country villages, are etill hawking the Biffalo Telegraph, never before heard of in this region. Special correspondents have been posted to Buffalo to magnify the scandal, with precious small results as yet. The Republican newspapers are fall ot chuckling references and spicv allusions to stimulate curiosity and spread tie sale, all the time professing sweet horror that any such thing should be admitted to tLeir virtuous sheets. AT BKE4KFA3 T. How the Various Candidates Regard the Campaign. Times-Star. MB. FLAINE AT BREAKFAST. 'Well, wife," said Mr. Blaine this morning, as be laid down the paper at breakfast at Bar Harbor. "Here's another Cleveland scandal. By jingo they've got a new one every dsy, each one rawer than the last, and if he gets a single vote outside of Utah, and they don't vote there for President, thank the Lord, you may just take my plume and bury it in the back yard beneath the sunliowers. Yes, I gaess you can plan how you'll fix the White House rooms." COVEKXOR CLEVELAND AT BREAKFAST. "And still they come," thoughtfully mused Governor Cleveland, glancing at the New YorkTimes, and stirring his coffee, while the broiled fish, poached eggs, spring chicken, rare beefsteak, hot cakes and huckleberries of his frugal bachelor breakfast lay before him. "Here is another meeting of the Independent Republicans. They're all for me, and I guess I might as well begin to think of my inaugural." PEXAT0U LOG AX AT EKEAKFAST, "I whooped 'em np old lady, eh, at Minneapolis. I never have saw " "I never have seen, John," said Mrs. Logan. "All right. I never have seen so many old soldiers. I played the 'Black Jack' game for every cent it was worth. The soldier vote is what we want, and what we kin hev. By the way, old lady, I guess I'll cnt my hair when I go on to Washington next March."

ZX-eOTKRBOR HSNPBJCKS AT BREAKFAST. 1 "I really am ot the opinion ttat I can manage to pnll Cleveland through," observed the ex-Governor, eating the fried mush that every Hoosier eats at breakfast. "Do you see, wife how these Federal officeholders wilt beneath my charges? No answering them. Great strike that. Republican corruption and all that. They may as well give up. Of course, seeing CleAeland is unmarried you'll be the first lady in the land." Powell Clayton's Career. ITopeka (Kan.) Special. One cf Blaine's prominent champions i9 Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. A number of the early settlers of Kansas have eood reasoa to remember this gentleman. Early in the oO's Clayton settled in Platte county, Missouri. These were the days when the territory of Kansas w&3 in its infancy, and the eye of the nation was upon it. The all-ab-sorbing question was, "Shall Kansas be free or slave?" Hordes of ruffians were imported from Missouri, and, while the Territory had but IKK) legal voters, at every election between 0.000 aud 4,000 votes were cast. These illegal votes were under the direct command of David It, Atchison, United States Senator of Missouri at that time. General Clayton was an active leader of the border ruffians. He organized the celebrated secret society of proslavery men known as the "Blue Lodge," and was said to be the lieutenant of Atchison in the force

of 5,000 men which on May. 21, 1Ö, j PACKEO THE TOWN OF LAWRENCE I and killed in cold blood a score of the unarmed free State men. In this outrage the Free frate Hotel and the printing; oüices of The Herald of Freedom and The Kansas Free State were destroyed. He assisted in the second sacking of Lawrence, when women and children alike were sacrificed, r)d these who were permitted to liewere left homeless. At the outbreak of the war General Clayton took up arms in defense of the Union, and, to "give the Devil his due." it must be said that he was a brave and daring officer. By the men In his command he was bated, being tyrannical and despotic. At the close of the'war he removed to Arkansas and entered politics as a Democratic politician. In lbG7 he joined the Republicans. In 1S68 he, in company with Logan H. Root?, Alex McDonald," and Stephen W. Dorsey, obtained control of the negro Legislature and bonded the State of Arkansas for 7,000. C00, when its assessed valuation was but ?4,C0O,000. The bonds were issued to railroad aud other schemes, and sold at great discount, and afterward repudiated by the State, which had nothing to show for them, and their payment being impossible. Clayton, McDonald and Dorsey managed to pet into the United States Senate, and Roots succeeded in being elected to the lower House of Congress. Since that time their history is well known. Various statements have been made with regard to Clayton's empty sleeve. It was the general impression at Chicago that it was lost in battle durir-g the war. This is not true. In 18ß3 Ciavton entered a sawmill, and his arm came in contact with the buzz-saw, and in th ppic of a second he was a "one-armed Union boldier." Calkins From a. Chlii-ne Standpoint. Cliicaeo Times.j Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, finds a number of objections to John Chinaman; but tbe principal objections, be says, are these : "Ho takes DO interest in our politics, refnses the offers of Christianity, brings his idols with him, institutes in our midst a court of idolatry, and refuses to assent in any manner to the teaching of our missionaries." In fewer words, the Chinaman is an incorrigible pagan. But this is a view on the Chinaman from Mr. Calkins' standpoint. There is a complimentary view of Mr. Calkins from the Chinaman's standpoint, and to render tbe picture complete the two must be seen together. The professional politician of that country is an idiotic pagan so reports the Chinamva upon his return to the Celestial kingdom. I find tbe proof ot it in a speech made by a candidate for Governor of the Province ot Indiana, who told his hearers that there was a divinity somewhere in that country called "tbe party," which does everything that comes to pass which had saved tho land from ruin, destroyed its enemies, built its railways, given "it bountiful harvests, improved the morals and appetites of its inhabitants, paid its debts, increased its wealth, filled the publc treasury, and so on. Now we, the Celestials, know very well that even our own superior gods could rot perform such miracle, and we know better than to pretend that taey could, because Chinamen have sensa and understanding enough to perceive the very obvious relations between those effects and their simple causes in the natural conditions and laws of things. But the Americans are so ignorant and so sunk in the darkness of superstition that a majority of those who heard, cpen-mouthed, the speech of the illustrious Indiana politician, actually believed the nonsensical paganism that he preached to them. Miserable heathens! they will not even listen when Chinamen tell them of the superiority of our Celestial pantheism over their ridiculous party fetichisra! BLAINE'S DOUBLE.

Mr. Conslensen. leading Episcopalian clergyman and admirer of Cleveland, declared for Blaine on account ot the Cleveland scandal. It is declared by that gentleman without foundation. He says be has formed no opinion as to the truth or falsity of the charges, and would not in any event support Blaine. As the matter stands he does not consider the change proved.
