In th( Southern States the seeding 13 often dalaj'ed as late November, but in tlr'a section September is usually the uioath during which the seed is sown. What we wish to impress upon farmers, however, is the importance of thoioughly bieparing the soil now. A good plowing, followed by the use cf a pulverizer, with frer juent harrowing, is the proper method for preparing the ground. The harrow can not be used too frequently, and the land shonU be thoroughly drained. About one inch ;.? the proper depth for the wed, and should L?.nrard manure ia any flerm be used, it should ba thoroughly worked up with the soil before seeding the wheat. Manuring Jt'ruit Treu. Correspondent London Garden. It is singular how long some fallacies retain their hold, even after they have been disproved by fact3, and of these, one of the rr.ct mischievous i3 the belief that fruit trees and bashes are liable to injury rather than beneSt from the application! manure. All sorts cf diseases, such as canker and otter ailments to which fruit trees are liab!, are set down as the result of applying manure to the roots; wherea3, in nine cases out of ten, it arises from poverty of the so:I. can" re the roots to run down into the bad utiv'j. I am ccnt;nil!y hearing complaints trom owners of fruit tree3 as to their uq-eathf-ictcry condition, and on examination have invariably found scarcely aay snrftce roots or tibres of any kind, nothing but lare, thong-like root, that run right down into the sub? )!!.

Large crop"! are not always the grastest blessing to the farmer. It is not the man who makes the most money that Decay's the liehest, but the man who saves most, fcj 1, alo, the man who makes the most judicious disposition of the prodacti of the farm is the one that coma3 out best in the end. and not always the one who produces the largest amount. There is usually a tendency to extravarance, but there are other evils besides promoting extravagance that attend the production of an unusually large crop on the farm. The present general prospects aad

present extra Jrdmary outlook in some sections should cause the farmers to call to mind r ome of these evils. Marketing a com crop from the AVest, when the price is low, is rendered almoet out of the question, owing to the long lines of transportation. The great question, then, is how to reduce it to a more condensed form. This form generally ia beef or pork. Now, the Crst effect of a very large crop is to enhance the value of stock cattle and hogs, and the rjext effect to reduce the value of both beef and pork. Frequently these effects are eeen and experienced to the extent ot lea7ing the herd, -when fattened, of little or no more va'ue than before the crop was fed into it. Many of our readers can call to mind just such oc casions. In this connection there are several points for the farmer to consider. Fiiat, that they have but little to do in fixing prices. If the consumer is willing and able to pay a gcod price, it ia done; if not, then a less price must take the goods. Farmers can not hold cattle and hogs six months or a year after they are once fat. The next thing to be noticed is that present indications point to lower prices, and there iä no step more natural for a farmer with a large crop than to buy additional steck to feed it to, even at exorbitant prices. If the large crops are confined to a few individuals or localities it is the right thing to do, but, if they are general, it will result in lc??. It is no argument to say there is no other course to pursue. If it brings him no more money than he pars our, the farmer, at least, had better crib his corn and save it and his labor. So far as the great mass of consumers is concerned the result is diüerent. Though the farmer may bs.e his labcr the necessaries of life become cheüp arjd they are benefited, and thus the lar?e croD to theui becomes a blessing. For the individual who cr.r?3 for his own best interests, it will not do to embark in any creat enterprise on the streDgtn of the profits oa feeding, mere especially if the steck fed 13 to be tonght at the prices that are likely to rule this fall, provided the crops hold up to what present prospects would lead us to expect. HOli:HO!.l) HINTS. Kxplicit Directions for Tutting Up reaches and Tonatoes. If possible, vath and cut up yorr peaches the afternoon before thev aro to bp canned, and scatter xugar over then). If this is done there will ba enough simp drained from them to cook them in, and ycu will not be obligtd to use a drop of water. The quantity of sugar is in the proportion of half a round of sugar to a pound of the fruit aftf r it is cut up; nut a creat many conks do not weigh the fruit end sugar, but put as much s'uüar with the fruit as they would u?e on the table In my own judgment it is better to be lavish with sugar. The great merit which home canned peachy have is that the sirup id rich and the i'avor cf the peach is retained. Ia the njorr.ing draia the s.rup oS from the peaches, put it into your porcelain kettle, if your have one; if nöi:, into a bright tin pan. "When this is hot drop in a few peacbes at a time; if ycu are good at puessingput in enouph for one can. remembering that the peaches will shrink a Rcoi deal in cooking When they are tender 10 a brcom splint will pierce them easily thy ara one. If yon leave the peachea wiole, of coursa they will require more time ?o cock, and ccuseauently it may be necesssTv to add a little w ater to the sirup. If you have more than enough to till a can, or two cans, as the race may be, do not leave then in the sirup to cook to p.eces, but s&iui tuem cut, and after cooking others for the next canful dro them back locg enough to heat theru through. IJave your cans in perfect order before you begin to cook tho peaches, set tuam into a can of warm water, then set it on the stoye, and when your fruit is done t!:ey will be so hot that there is no danger of their breafcmg. j-'nt the cover on as scon as possible, always observing that the fruit is fcteaming. Do all this calmly; take pride and find pleasare in it. This is an ind'specsible part of the ' directions ' asked for. To succeed with tomataes ycu mast be willing to give plenty o time to them. Slice them and Jet them stand for fifteen minutes. then drain off all the liquor that Las col lected; hoil them an hour and a half. A great deal of scum will rise n them, and this must all be skimmed oIT. Herein lie3 the secret of success. This ' valuable rule was given to me by a neighbor who went on year after year placidly canning tomatoes alter every woman on the street had given op in despair. The tomatoes should be put into cans just the same as peaches, and should be kept where it is cool and dark. If your store room or cellar is light, get a larga dry gocds box and set the cans into it. Tomato wine ttsed to tlavor soups and gravies is made m this way: Tase ripe fruit, mash and strain it through a sieve, let it stand in an eartnen jar until fer.neuta tion ceases, then bottie it and cork tightlv. putting wax over the cork. This is said to keep a long time. To crystallize plurcs, take one pound of loaf sugar, din the lumps into water, and place tnem in a settle. I.et it boil, siiru ming it carefully, until it candies. Dip the fruit into this while it 13 very hot, then put the fruit in a cool room. Stems of raisins and benches ot grapes may be treated in the same way. Halves of pears crystaliizea are cuncious. The high Oueen Anne stands are brightentd and their stilTre.'s relieved by haing scans for the top and the trader shelf also.

The scarfs should be lined, as tney win rarer muh more praceinuy. r.'iev should not be ionc,. but should fall over eacl? end for about a quarter of a yard.

When it is perfectly hard, dry and smooth we apply the wax in one or two ways, e ther bard or melted, with turpentine It the latter, It 13 laid on with a brush, left to dry two or three hours, and is then polished with brushes. The wax used is common beeswax. Here is one of the brushes; very large, flat, and made with very ti!F bristles. They cost 1 a pair, and are made large, so that if desired one of tbem can be fixed under the foot by means cf a strap, and the polishing done "by wag ging the leg to and fro. That way of brushing is employed in dry waxing, which is much the hardest, and requires most vigorous polishing. Dry waxing costs about foar times as much a3 the other, and will last two or three times 3 long. In either case the wax has to be polished right into the grain of the wood. It will not do ti pat oil on a waxed lioor, 83 it will render the surface gummy and etltky and nasty. If properly done, oiling makes a lioor nice, bat is never so good as waxing, and costs nearly as much. llaw linseed oil mixed with turpentine tor a drier is used. Excellent breakfast cakes are made of three ergs, one teaf?poonful of sugar, one cofTeecup of sweet milk, one cup of warm water, three tablespoonfula oi yeast, Hour enough to make a stiff batter. Leave the whites of the ecs until the batter has ri3en, then add them; r. pinch of salt is needed. If started the night before, these cakes are delicious. They will be as light as pufTs, Variety may be gained by cooking some amb-chop or mutton-chop until it 13 qaite brown.

The Chicago Fat Stock Show ci 1S31 will give 51,27.7 to the Eheep department, $110 more than was given last year.

Some in a cask could easily he taken along to the field for them. Potatoes will stand an almost unlimited amount of manure, although new, fermented manure has been found injurious. It is said that the milking qualities of a cow depend more upon those of her sire'd moiher then upon those of her own mother. No cattle of any kind are allowed to be imported into Jersey and Guernsey, in order that the cattle of those islands may be kept strictly pure. Nearly 2,0u0 high-grade bulls have bern carried into New Mexico this season, and it is expected the stock in that section will soon be uncqualed by any in the West. Coops for young chickens thould have piank l'oors. .Move the caops every ether day and clean well, as dampness is the cause of mot diseases in young chickens and turkeys. Experiments have shown that potatoes of the same season's maturity can not be made to sprout and grow by beinz planted later. even if they come from the South and aro set out by June 1. A msre that provides plenty of milk for her colt invariably proyes valuable as a breeder, for the first few months of a colt's existence is the most important, as a goo J start in growth is kept nntil maturity. Fattening store hogs or other animals may profitably be commenced this month. livery pound of corn fed now will count as much as two would in November. Desides, animals that are not penned will run off a good deal of fat in hot weather. In making cheese, the fall heat ia scalding should be reached very gradually. To suddenly beat a cube of curd is to contract the pore." sp that the whey and pas of the interior are not fully liberated, aad goinj into the cheese cause bad effects. Mutton usually sells as hih ia Canada a -, beef, Otting to the fact that the Canattim iaraera pay more attention to producing superior mutton thau we do.

Oat meal Is the bist food, being easily digeUIbie Feeding often, with a buiall quantity each meal, i3 better than a large quantity at orce. The Director of the Iowa Agricultural Col--ItKe values the various miik-produciug foodd as follows: Corn, per 103 pounds, O'J cents: cats.

Holers, who originated so many valuabls hybrid grapes, said: "la crossing grap-es, all the blossom buds on the cluster wera removed except those to be operated on, and when these were nearly ready to opsn the caps were removed before the anthers burst, and the stigmas touched with the foreign pollen." Sudöen charges in the color cf butter, unless caused by sudden changes in food, say from oat SLd torn meal to bran cf poor qua1ity, or tye mea', 13 cam:ed by churning too warm and leading the batter with caveta.

A farmer occasionally ha3 a ciw which refuses to become pregnant, though she receives the services of the male regularly. It will renerally be found that such animal? have Ifen kept in too high condition and generally fed too liberally on grain. iVe know cf a lite imported Jersey cow, which a

friend cf ours bought trom Mr. Kent a couple of years ago, and at a low price, because she would not breed. As a last resort the present owner ordered the grain to be kept from her entirely, giving her no grain, and enly ordinary rough feed. She ran down in Cesh, but still was la good fair order, aad is now, owing to this coaimoaaense treatment, about to calve. The remedy is simple and very efficient. Epitomist. Dutler should always be churned several

degrees colder in summer than ia wiater. The reason is that the caseinoas matter of milk more readily attaches itself to the batter g.obules in summer than in winter, and that this adhesion can best be prevented by a cooler temperature of the creaaa when churning is a iact. The preservation of straw for feeding purposes is very important. It is best secured at cr immediatdy after thrashing time. The chatT, especially 0 wheat Btraw, is mo9t valuable, and Ehonld, o far as possible, be distributed through the stack. That which is left in rear of the straw-carrier should be put under shelter, as it rots easily. A New York farmier states that he secures the best stand of timothy by Bowing the seed between the middle ot August and the 1st of Eeptember, between the hilla of growing corn. The corn ehould be cultivated both ways and the soil kept nearly level. The stalks should be cnt close to the cround and the land rolled. An additional rolling of the land in the spring is beneficial. The greater number of lowls in a place the greater the chances for loss from disease and accidents. While one man may own a great many fowls, he can not succeed unle?s he manages to give about as mach care and watchfulness to every twenty or thirty as be would to a single flock of that size. It Is jest there tbatmost ambitious poaltrymsa, aiming to do something large, make their mistake. One of the advantages possessed by the Urahma fowl is hardiness. It leathers slowly, which enables it to convert its food into growth of carcass rather than feathers, while its small pea-comb protects it azainst the action of the frost in winter, which is so injurious to tne tall, single-comb breeds, such as the Leghorns. When matured they are heavily feathered, while in weight they are not exceeded by any other breed. If butter is drained dry before the salt is added a marbled appearance may be noticed to some extent, but if the granulated batter when put upon the worker is full of the brine used in washing it out to free from buttermilk, it will so dissolve the salt during the workins that wfcei ready to pack the abjection raised will not exist. The packing would have something to do with, it if put int fif-ty-six pound tubs. Butter does well if pat in well-glazed one-gallon crocks. About a pcund ot butter ehould be put in each time, and most thoroughly crowded in with a wcoden potato-ma?her, and it will come out of the crock of as solid color as one could wish. The whole trouble of marbled batter is one of salting it too "dry" and putting too much in the package at a time when packing. The familiar horseradish, which most of us associate with some grassy, secluded little spot about the house, has of late years become an important product of market gar dens. It is cultivated thoroughly, and for profit. Quantities are now ground and canned, and form a not unimportant part of the grocer's steck. Planta set in good ground fiom root cvttircs in ilay produe a crop in late fall if gcod culture be given. The roots are then dug and trimmed and kept in the same manner as turnips. In this condition the gardener sells it from fall to spring. Cuttings of horseradish should be made of roots a quarter or a half inch in diameter and four to six inches lonS' It is riot necessary to have any leaves on them. Gardeners grow about 111,000 plants to the acre. J lach plant should yield from a half to three fourths of a pound. It is a weli-known fact that some hoots. when reduced to an impoverished state, are really very thin, as the term is understoci, while others have a meaner antount of fat as the thinnest, vet have greater fullness of all parts, and under no circumstances do they become so lean m appearance as the other. This difference is owing entirely to the greater eize of the muscle, the motive parts, and th's difference is invariably shown in the cut-up meat. Farmers must take greater care to keep their hogs clean, and let them eat only clean food to make the best pork Don't overfeed the hogs and le: the.n eat sour feed or i'eed left over, bat give them freely three times a day all they will eat up clean and relish. Add to the corn diet tur nips, pumpkins, potatoes, etc., as a relish It will help them to eatrnd digest more corn. City and Country. The Country Gentlemau says the first thing to do after an orchard is planted is to. affix Jabels to the trees which will remain permanently to them and show the sort. The best label is made of a narrow strip of Bheet zinc, the narrow end ot which, is coMed around a small side branch, the label gral ually uncoiling as the branch grows. Tue name is written with a common lead pencil on the broad or hanging end of the label, where it is always visible. The surface of the nnc should be rusted to take the pencil mark strongly. This is easily affected by exposure to weather, or at once by apply) any dilute acid. The name will last haif a century, and the labels will remain many years on the branches, gradually marolling as the branches grow. Ihey may be made of scrap zinc for a few cents per hnadred. Mr. Eli Minch, of Cumberland County, New Jersey, thus gives directions how to ob taia healthy orchards. He advises that all tr?es from the nursary be examinod, and if round infested with any 01 the Known or chard pests they must be freed from the in sects cr burned. Dipping the trees in hot water, at a temperature of from l.'lö' to 150 will kill the lice. The trees shonld be dipped several times and cooled after each diptnug. l'aiis green water may also be used, at tha rate of one pound of l'aris green to 203 gal lons cf water. For the oyster shell bark louEe a wasn composed of oue pound 1 coa centrated lye to two gallons of water, is re cemmended, while the tree should be care fully washed dur ng the operation with a stiff brush. The borer can best be removed with the knife, owing to the difficulty of reaching them.

He believes, no doubt, that he has to do battle orJy with the Democratic party and its In dependent Fepublican allies. He thinks that the object of the combat is the possef !cn of the Presidency of the I iiitra states. No n nu ever made a greater mistake. Tne suppression of Mr. Eiaine is but an incident m the plan oi the campaign winch ie?m last June, and which will be brought to a frurcessful ending t-oontr or la'er. ai surely as the Bun rises and sets; as surely as truth is true. The over-conrldent fatuity of the Republican leaders keeps them blind to the fa't that they are now face to face with a revolution. Tfcey kr.ow, indeed, that there i3 a revolt within the party lines against a personally objectionable caudidate. 1- artner than this, ttey can not, or will not, see. Theirs ia the history of all overfed powers. When the people of Paris came down to Versailles and shouted to- bread, under the King s window Louis X.YI. doubtleis understood that they wanted bread, and the only question to him ws? whether thev should get it or not When, a few yean later, he stood on the scaffold one winter morning, the idea had probably made Its way into Jiis dull head that the people hd all aioncr wanted something more than mere bread". Thev had wanted, he saw, jusüca, tbe right of srdt gov crnroent, personal freedom, aad, more tnan any one thing, the recognition 01 a principle the pnncr.e of equality. The revolution that has begun, the revola tion that will turn our world over into the sunlight cd honest government, ia not a struggle of blcod. It will know neither guil lotire norrillf?. It isa revolution of thought and feeling. For the most part unorganized

as yet, the honest and thoughtful men of this country are gathering around one standard for a common purpose. In one sense the nomination of Mr. Blaine has been a blessiDg to the country. Now that the very standard-bearerof corruption is put up for President of the United States, we have something concrete and tangible to fight against. The issue is put squarely before us, and we may sift oar friends from our enemies, and know whom to trust In the

coming struggle. We have no longer to seek an unacknowledged enemy in the dark. W e may now divide the people of the country into two camps on the one side the men who are willine tfcat we should have a corrapt government; on the other the men who are determined that we shall not. Hlaloe'a Shame, Hartford Times. The new batch of Blaine's correspondence with Warren Fisher, Jr., to-day made pub ic, completes the proof of the ex-Speaker's guilt. It fixes him, beyond all hope of rescue by his partisans, in the light of a convicted rogue. It shows that James G. Blaine prosti tuted his official trust for private gain; aad that, when he found the net cf exposure closing around him, he attempted to escape ts meshes by a trickery manipulation of the record and a series of barefaced, deliberate alsehoods. In 1S7G, Blaine, in great dread of the Con gressional investigation, went down on hin knees before James Mulligan, begging for the return of those damaging Iett2T3 showing his corruption as Speaker, in his rulings and action on the aid to an Arkansas railroad. He got back a package which contained all, as be supposed, that remained of his letters to Jos 1 ah Caldwell and Warren Fisher. Bat others remained. Thinking he had all that were in existence, Blaine, on the 5th of Jane, lblG, read to the House such as he pleased, claiming that it was all he had written. But it was ascertained that this was a falsehood. He kept back some damaging letters, and these nave been hereto lore given to the pob'ic, from copies that he knew nothing of. It was in one of these tbat he promised to be "no deadhead" If he W8S let in. In his personal statement of April 21.1S7C, in the House, Mr. Blaine said : "My whole connection with the road has been as open as the day." Dut it appesrs from these letters that Blaine, who had been making money out of bis neighbors and friends by getting subscriptions to the Little 1:02k Kailroad bonds at higher rates than those at wnich Fisher was selling them, wrote con fidentially to the latter, "No one will ever know from methat 1 have disposed of a single dollar in Maine; and again, "I note what you say about the importance of my keeping all quiet nere." "Open as the day," indeed: Mr. Fisher calls inv attention lo the way he (Blaine) had fleeced his neighbors in those subscriptions and adds: Uut ot their subscriptions you ootainei a large amount, both ot bonds and money, free of cost to you. 1 have your own figures. and know the amount. Owing to your po litical position you were able to work otfall your bonds at a very high price, and the fact is well known to ethers as well as myself. Would your friends in Maine be satisfied if they knew the facts?'' In another letter Blaine wants Caldwell (tbe builder ot the road ancj manager of the bond distribution) tobe impressed with his, Blaine's, services to the scheme, by "iuclosiDg the Globe" meaning tiie Congressional Globe with his rulings, as Speaker, marked; but, he adds, he doesn't want to be indelicate. The dishonesty of Blaine, in the letters relatirgto the establishment of a National Bank at Little Rock, is too plainly shown to require comment. Llaiuehas flatly denied that he ever had "any dealings whatever" with Tom Scott in the matter of the railroad bonds. The Fisher correspondence proves that he lied. He had already sold Scott $100,000 of the bonds when he told that wron.sr story. His whitewashing letter, written by himself, to be signed by Fisher, is as characteristic as any part of these new revelations concerning the Itepublican candidate for President of the United States. But the whole batch cf letters condemns him. WHAT THEY HAVE SAID OF HIM. How Some KepulTiican Have Viewed Klaine ami His Career. Whitelaw Leid in New Yoik Tribune, September 1S72. The startling exposure of Speaker Blaine's venality in connection with the Union Pacific Road, Eastern Division, entirely destroys of course, whatever credit some people may have given to his evasive detail of the Oakes Ames bribery, and puts the whole case of the Credit Mobilier upon a different basis. Now it is shown that Speaker Blaine never deserved his good reputation. He had taken bribes in another case. Murat ilalsteaa in Cincinnati Commercial, June 6, 1876. The. Blaine letters, we believe, prove all that he has been charged with. The troublesome fact is that there is a low tone of public morality in the estimation of the uses of public position for private gain. Joseph Medill in the Chicago Tribune. Blaine voted for or failed to oppose every subsidy ot either land or money asked for" while be was in Congress. The päople knew him as a lobbyist before he entered Congress, Beeking contracts for the supply of arms. They Knew hini while ia Congress, and while Speaker, as the inside friend of wildcat corporations; rrding f 3 Speaker to save their bills, and, as claiming reward for his official action, as engaged in selling the worthless bonds of such corporations, receiving gratnities therefor, as confessed in his letters, ar.d, finally, when pecuniarily involved, getting the räcific Fiailroad Company, as it seems almost certain, to give him 'U.UCO cash for what was not worth (54,000 cents. Is this the record of a reformer? Of a man to purify the Administration, and to raise the standard of political and official molality? St. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.i, May 21. Blaine can not C3rry the fall strength of the Republican party, to begin with, and his repulsive, rotten record will repel the independent or detached voters. He is an uuclean man, and the people will not have him. To nominate him would be to court defeat. He stands self-convicted of prostituting the high offices he has held to build up a private fortune. The lllaine "Marriage. " f New York World. Mr. Biaiue is peculiarly unfortunate in his correspondence. Mr. William Walter Phelps, with the fiendish malevolence of a Mulligan, gives to the public this morning a letter reCtMly written to him by Mr. Blaine, expltining the peculiar and iHysterious features of the marriage in Kentucky, out of which tbe Indianapo-is Sentinel acandil grew. According to Mr. Blaine it was a secret marriage, and when he found that the relations between himself and wife were unlawful he left Kentucky and had the marriage ceremony regularly performed in Pennsylvania. "It is a sad and sorrowful subject, and although the letter contains an appeal to the American people for sympathy and votes, it would have been better if Mr. Blaine had net written it. Having eleotaJ to carry the matter into a court of justice he should have sooiht his vindication there. Even now he should hasten to disabuse the public mind of the idea that he is responsible for the delay in the Indianapolis dbel suit. Mr. Eleine never appeared to the intelligent people of the country as anything but a shrewd politician and a canning demagogue. In the bluish Jk-ht of. his letter this morning detailing the biory of his domestic life he assumes a character that mot modest citizens will blush to t on template. No candidate for the Presidency has yet stooped bo low for votes and sympathy. The tombstone incident is particularly pathetic.

CLEVELAND'S STRENGTH.

Tho (JöTernor Daily (Jalains Sappart From Independent Kepublieans. More Holter From Hlaine A. Terrible Arralniueut of tlie Maine Politician Fast Kecord. New York Herald. Alpaxy, N Y., Sept. 10. The list of prominent Republican bolters to the Cleveland standard continues to increase hourly. Brigadier General Doubleday, of the United States Army, was among the visitors to the Governor to-day. He stated that although he had always voted the Republican ticket he could not this year cast his ballot for James G. Blaine. Instead he would cte for G rover Cleveland and do what be could to secure his election. THE EUFFALO CA!rAIC5. Mr. Mathias, editor of the Buffalo Yolks Freund, said that among the thousands of German yoters in Buffalo there were many hundreds of Independent Republicans who had openly announced their intention to vote or Cleveland. "They are emphatically agRvcst Blaine," he said, ''noUitbstanding the desperate efforts made by the custom-house and posteffice machine to win them over. The Germans of Buffalo were always for the Governor, and, if for only local pride, they will see that Le carries our city by a good majority. I am sure he will carry the county. I am convinced that the Republicans of tais State intend to make Buffalo the home seat of the battle. They propose to create the impression that the Governor is unpopular at home; that he will be defeated there, and by this means they seek to in fluence the State. Bat this plan will net work, as the Democrats are determined to show the people ot this and other States that no such facta exist in BuSalo." ANOTHER REPUELICAK BOLTER. Mr. Henry S. Lamb, formerly Superintendent of Banks of this State and a leading Republican, who resides at Lansingbnrg, today formally announces his intention to Lm Blaine and vote for Cleveland. This defection will cause considerable talk all over the State. Mr. Lamb is well and favorably known. He sends a long letter explaiaing his pesition, which will be published in the Argus in full on Monday next. Part of this letter reads: VP. ri.AIXE Ar.lUIUXED. "Mr. Plein is the type of a class of men wkonif.ke politics their profitable vocation in life 5 In addition to notorio as public testimony of Mr. Blaine's crooked self seeking I have been taught long since by some of bis KepablicaD associates ia Con gress tbat pending corporate and private measures which antagonize public interests too frequently found in Mr. Elaine a Champion und advocate. For tweaty-three years he bas been a speculator. He was never the examiner of great undertakings and of practical, useful industries to gain commissions. To reap profits by speculation have been his practice. I know myself that he was engaged in profitable (to him) speculation in JbSl. While Secretary of State he and his fellowpromoters boomed a speculative enterprise which utterly collapsed very fioon after Mr. Blaine, Tom F,wing, Jr., of Ohio, and their associates marketed their shares. A receiver is in possession of the remains. All this accumulative testimony as to Mr. Blaine's character and conduct convinces me that his nomination was a grievous mistake, and that his election would be a national misfoitune. Hence, while lam no less a Kepublicm than I have been, I am opposed to the election of Mr. Blaine as I was to his nomination." Mr. Lamb concludes with a strong indorsement of Governor Cleveland. Two ladies from Canada left the Delavaa at an early hour this afternoon to call upon the Governor. Before leaving the hotel they asked the clerk if it were customary for the Governor to receive visitors. "Certainly, madam." was the answer. "Then. I suppose, I must appear in full dressi," she said. He receives everybody. Your traveling costume will answer just as well," answered the clerk. "What! you don't have to appear in full dre?swhen you call upon the Governor.'" exclaimed the elder lady. "Why, in Montreal nobody thinks of calling upon the Governor there unless in full dress." "That is the difference between the United States and your country," was the quiet but business like answer of the clerk. "Full dress or no full dress nobody has any difficulty in seeing Governor Cleveland." "How delightful are your American customs!" was the answer of both ladies, as they departed for the carriage that was to convey them to the Capitol. GOVEriXOr. CLEVELAND'S CAEIXET. Governor Cleveland continues to receive tokens of esteem from friends. His cabinet cf mementoes now consists of an elegantly carved cane, the shell of a scorpion, a horned toad from Arizona, which has been playfully named "Peter;" a large sized picture of the bouse in which he was born, aa elegant blue velvet music book souveair, a quill pen plucked from a live American eagle, elegenlly engrossed, resolutions of thanks from the National Hatters' Association for his signature to the bill preventing further hat contracts in the prisons of the State, and other favors too numerous to catalogue. The Governor prizes ihese tokens of regard very highly, and preserves them with religious care. Mobbiug a Salvation Army. Amsterdam (N. Y.) Special. On Thursday night the local authorities instructed the Salvation Army not to parade with drums and umbrellas. The army said they would. When they paraded last night a crowd cf 3,030 men and boys stopped them, and their Captain, Osborne, and Private McII ugh were arrested. The remainder of the army kept on marching followed by a yelling mob, who threw stones and potatoes at tbem and stole hats, torches and drums. The prisoners were released on their own ieccgnizance until to-morrow. The army ka3sentto Schenectady for reinforcements. A few nights ao a mob attacked the army in its ball. Windows and furniture were smashed, and one of the mob was thrown down stairs and had an arm broken. ' Tlie Voice of the 1'eople. The people, as a whole, seldom make mistakes, .nd the unanimous voice of praise which - comes from those who have used Hood's Sarsaparilla fully justifies the claims of tbe proprietors of this great medicine. Indeed, these very claims are based entirely on what the people say Hood's Sarsaparilla fcas done for them. Read the abundant evidence of its cmative powers, and give it a fair, honest trial. A Hundred-Mile Horse Race. St. Loris, Sept. 21. Th9 race this afternoon at the Union Base Ball I 'ark, by C M. Anderson, a long-distance borteback rider, against three opponents. John Potts, Alex. Dale and John Roche, 100' miles forf-00a side, was wen by the latter in four hours and forty-five minutes. Andersoa's score was nirety ei'ht and twe-fifths miles. The terms of the race required Anderson to chan?e horses every mile, while his opponents changed every two miles. Anderson claims be bad been very poorly mounted, while his opponents had good horses.
