~ ABouT RAISING - WHEAT. — Some thinking farmer in Bartholomew county has made use af one of the many rainy-days in handling a few figures. He could not be better employed. Brain is better than muscle, when judiciously employed fo direct muscle. The Wwriter, who' publishes Ifis figares in the Bartholomew Deémocrat, estimates the cost of ‘raising.an acre of wheat, as fellows: “Breaking 1 acre of land, $1.50; harrowing,":;&’ ceuts; ‘rollingy 30 eents; drilling, 50 cents; ' 114 bushels’seed, at $1.25 per bushel, " $1.87; lharvesting, $1.60; threshing, $1.92; threshing 12 bushels at ¢ cents - per bushel, 72 cents; hauling to market, at 215 cents per-bushel, 50 cents; rfent for land, $6; total expense ‘per ‘acre, $15.011%5 ; 12. bushels of Wheat at - $1.15, $l5; prolits, over'the left, 115 cents. The estimate is made at 12 bushels to the acre, 10 acres for a day’s ‘harvesting with the reaper, .2 acres for a.day’s plowing, 25 acres for a day’s. threshing, 82 a day for hands .and fifty cents #day for board, ‘and -does not include thé care of the straw, wear of machinery and tools, interest on the money invested, etc.” I those; figures there is a complete lecture on farming. The estimates may he exact; or they may-not (and which they are not): It does not matter. = The fatal trouble with that acre of wheat’ is that the crop is too.small. = The presumption does not contemplate a failure from some special cause; as tloods, insécts or drought. That would not. be fair in making an estimate of this - sort. ‘lt does not Iprov'e that - wheat raising is:necessarily unprofitable, but it'does prove:that the farmer cannot afford to raise. wheat on that system. If the product liad been double what is assumed, ;say’ twenty-four buslels, -a not unreasonable demand, -it would allow the farmer.to expeénd $5 more to make the crop better and still give. _a profit o£-$lO. By the way, the rental at s6:is high, :and the fact that : farmers :own- their. land, generally, . partly explains how they do manage ‘to get along ‘and. live on such ecrops. - John Johnston, of Geneva, N. Y., now. 84 years old a,‘nd still monaging his: farn, is the father of the tile drainage “system. He states that his -average - vield of wheat during his life long experience| has been 28 bushels to the ~acre. He has often obtained 30, 33 - and 35 bushels; and in one instance he got 4213 busl'lels. Probably his chances -on New York .soil are not “naturally :as good as those of the avi erage farmer of Indiana. ]'%t in this I"State farmers can be named who often - obtain 30 t 0 35 bushels of wheat to the acre. Tt is a large yield, and cannot often be-had ‘without .great skill " and careful effort. But these latter qualities are just what the farmer wants, just what he depends on to. come out with 'a margin’in his favor. If a farmer permits himself 'to go on ‘according to the Bartholomew man’s ‘figures, he ‘will,‘pﬁ;jcourse, keep .poor. “But it is not netesgary. Skill and labor will produce a larger result, and on that comdition’gnly success lies ‘What is true of wheat is true. of all _other crops. It might paysome farmers to go all the way and visit the old New York Scotchman, and learn how to get richi by Wheat raising as he has ~done..

: CHICKEN CHOLERA.—MrI.A, Thomp- : san, brother of Miles Thompson, gives us the following information about, i with a remedy for, ¢hicken cholera or - pips, and we publish it in the hope it may prove a benefit to chickenraisers. . We do not vouch for ghe reliability of ~ the remedy, nor the symptomatie pa- - thology, as given, because our knowl- - edge of this disease is defective. M . Thempson says: “Over the tongue of ~ achicken affected with cholera there ~ grows a thick-membrane forming a sheath, which, as the disease progresses, loosens itself from the tongue, ex- - eept at its further extremity, where it - grows in folds or as if rolled over it~self. These folds continue to enlarge ~_andfinally fills the throat cavity, when - death must ensue from strarigulataon. " The fowl becomes emaciated, the fat ~ of the system being used for.its sup- ~ port, the excrement being yellowish, ~_ thia and bily. It has no appetite, nor - . can it eat if it had, in eonsequence of ~ the enlargement of the sheath at the ~* root of the tongue, which prevents - . food from passing withdut an effort.. ' The remedy is simple. Puss the finger . into the mouth and with the nail loos- . en the sheath from the tongue at its - base, which is-easily done, and then - taking its tip, which projects slightly _ over the tip of the tongue, it may be . removed just as one-would remove the %Em,ofa bayonet by taking hold _* of its pointed end.

And while T shall agree in many things with the editor, 'ix_l ,qothe‘rs' I l_mvé"no dotbt we shall honestly difter. ' Upon the all-important point, that a change is necessary in the Zla!llillisztl‘ilti(?ll of ‘national affairs if we hope to preserve our républican fornr of government, ‘we shall heartily agree. If ‘the centralization, corruption and extravagance of this adrhinistration-are to be continued, it requires n()).‘;ipro‘phetic' pen to foretell the downfall’of the Republic. The Democx@cy of the country has a great and patriotic.work to perform. The Union is still to be restored. The Constitution must again bécoine the “supreme law of the land” -to rulers as well :isftot;;he people. The goveriment must ‘be brought back, as near as may be, to its former simplicity; honesty and ecohpmy must yuleA in the conduct of affairs. The democl':itgic party—and it.only-—can accompliéh these ends. - That it may prove itself worthy of the charge, which the people will unquestionably entrust to it at the next election, is the earnest pi‘:‘l)’@l' of every'true lover of his coun= try. o o A o : " Of one thing we may feel assured: Our rapid march' toward centralization and, as a final resulf, despotism, will cease. Legislatures of Sovereign States will not,” under a democratic ‘zulministration, be subjected to-the liumiliation of-being organized by the military of the gerneral government, in the interest of party.” No “Arkansas message”—a disgrace to its anthor and to Congress—will be sent in. In short, no” intermeddling by Congress with the internal affairs of the States will be permitted. - But ‘the general government, gzonﬁ,nin‘g itself within its proper Sphere and “minding i*s own business,” can give more- attention to ‘matters purely national; the people of the States; relieved from federal interférence, will look to their-own interests more closely ; and betfer, more economical and purer government, both State and .national, will ‘be the result. - When it comes to be fully understood that centralization means that the repreéentatiyes from Massa-" chusetts, South Carolina and Califor-. nia, with ‘their ‘widely diversified interests, shall have power to pass laws regulating the internal and domestic affairs of the people of Illinois and Indiana, and vice versa; “wlhen it is once thoroughly realized that its-suc-cess -is the overthrow of local selfgovernment, I believe the people wilk awake to the importance of the issue. ~ The Louisiana outi{age, the President’s. message on- Arkansas affairs, and the attempted passage of the force bill, has served somewhat o arouse the people. to a seénse of ‘their danger. Let these matters be ldfept before them, and, the general f’cen‘ilen'cy of the republican leaders to concentrate all power in the national government, be clearly shown, and we may trust the result in the people, fully assurea that their intelligence and patriotism will lead them'to decide in the right. | sl s MELAMPAS, -

A QUESTION OF VERACITY, & ; e ; (‘,ox_lcel:ning a Joint Discussion on © the Sabbath Question. ; i : Ligonter, NosLe Co., IND.,} 2 5= . {mgust 11th, 1875. i Brother B, F. Tréat: ? o \ . DEAR Siz:—There is one Elder Lane here, with a tent, preaching Seventh Day Adventism. And he has public1y stated that his brother, E. B. Lane, had a discussion with you on the sev-, enth day Sabbath question; and that there was a reporter present, who reported theé debate in full. And that you bought up the reporter, and stopped its publication, fearing the consequence of its going to the public. And that it cost you quite a little sum of! money. . -And that-he could prove it. Now, if it is not true, please write'd denial to THE NATIONAL BANNER of this place, edited by J. B. Stoll, and he will doubtless publish it. ; ) Yours most truly, ] . _ G. W. CHAPMAN. T'o the Editor of The National Banner: DeAR Sir:—The above letter, in my judgment, calls for a response from my pen. Tlie men referred to by Bro. Chapman have made the same or similar statements at other points, but I have replied -only by private letter. However, since you courteously allow -me the privilege, I will briefly reply to the above charges, though I cannot enter into a detailed account of Elder E.-B. Lane’s failure to publish our debate.” Said Lane secured, by written contract, the sole right of itspublication; then forfeited his contract, and now has’ the effrontery to charge me with withholding the debate from the leJ]iC! i, ’

Any intimation that I have at any time, or in any manner attempted to tamper with the integrity of the reporter is an unmitigated falsehood. 1 -,\\?ill,rhb\\'evel°, compliment the Laness so far as to say that, though possessing the mendacity, they have not the ability to invent such an untruth. It was an older and greyer head than theirs that first concocted it, and they have only the distinction of being the willing hucksters of second-hand slanders. S - >

I debated with E. B. Lane and Eld. J. H. Wagoner at Gosport, Ind. Both debates were reported by D. O. Spencer, Esq., of Bloomington, Ind. - The debate withi tlie said Lane was to be published by'him, as per written contract referred to above. DBut the reporter of the debate with the said Wagoner was secured by him individually. I had no contract on that. The debates were held at the same time— Elder Lane resting while Wagoner debated with nie, and then resuming when Wagoner closed. :

.Elder Wagoner insisted that the reporter should wifite out his debate first. I waived my right of priority and permitted it. But Mr. Wagoner refused the work of the reporter; because, a 8 he ( Wagoner) said, their contract called for a “verbatim” report, while the stenographer said it was to be a “satisfactory” report. This squabble with Mr. Spencer over Elder Wagoner’s debate was clearly a 2use to avoid the publication of my debate with Elder Lane. So Mr. Lane at once wrote a bullying letter to the reporter, intimating that he did not expect to accept his report of the Tl_f‘eatILane discussion. : . The result was that “Mr. Spencer became disgusted with their insolence and dropbed the work. Not one speech off my debate with Lane was ever written out. The wnfair manner of these Sabbatarians toward the reporter was the only reason” why it was not written. I was then willing, and-am yet, to accept the work of Mr. Spencer, allowing them to correct Mr. Lane’s speeches, 911(1 correcting my own, accordingito contract. I think 1 could dispose of a thousand copies. I am entitled to damages, because, by the terms of our -contract, I relinquished. the right of publication in favor of E. B. Lane, and he made no effort to publish it. - ** N..B.—A little tract entitled, “The Facts in the Case,” explanatory .of Elder J. H. Wagoner’s failure to-pub-l’ish‘ his debate with me, contains a greater number of constructive falsekoods than any other document of the same sizé in the English language.

| Republican Consistency. : _ (From the LaPorte Argus.) It is rather amusing to hear so many Republicans complacently talking about a division in the Democratic ranks on the question of finance.— Because the Ohio Democratic platform favors a volume of curreney sufficient for the demands of business, and Sen--ator Thurman is known to be a hard money man, they at once jump at the conclusion that there is a great and all consuming division in the Democratic ranks. Noyv, it should be re--membered that the Democratic National platform of 1872 - squarely favored a coin basis for currency and since that time nearly all of the Democratic State conventions have favored hard money or its equivalent. The history of the Democratic party is the history of hard money in this country, and hecause there -is an occasional minor difference of opinion among .individual- Democrats in relation to the amount or style of paper money for commercial use does not augur a serious disturbance in the harmony of the party as a national organization. But- if we admit that there is a serious division in the party on the question of finance, it comes with ill grace for Republicans to talk of it.— In the first place, the Republicans are wholly responsible for the depreciated currency we now have in circulation. They adopted the financial theories that produced the greenback and national bank note. It was their legislation that made the greenback worth at one time only about fifty cents on the dollar, and it was their legislation and conduct of the government that makes the greenback worth less than .90 cents on the dollar to-day. At the last session of Congress they incubated a scheme which they claimed would increase the volume of the currency, and yet these soft-money men, these practical repudiationists, talk wisely of Democratic inflationists.— They are the men who are led by Ben. ,Butler and Pig-Iron Kelly, the most ‘ noted of all inflationists. They are the men who read and indorse :the -Chicago Inter-Ocean, the softest of the soft inoney organs of the country,— For every one Democratic inflationist of the country we can find five Republican soft-money repudiationists, and the hypocrisy of radical croakers ~on this question would be something ‘wonderful if it were not of so frequent occurrence as to make it an inseparable part of the history of the

' HYDROPHOBIA. | ; ‘A Simple Specific for the Dread Mal- ‘_ > ady. a 41r ey (From the Pittsburg (Pa.) Commergial.)" A lady met me this mornizg. saying: “Did you see that recipe yfor curing hydrophobia, in yesterday’s Commercial?’’ 1 did not see it. |“Well,” she continued, “it is just the cure I wanted your to write about] two or three years ago; the old Chester Valley cure. . It never was known to fail, and was used in hundreds pfg cases in the ‘eastern part of the State. I remember hearing of it as long as I can remember anything. I have told people, and told and talked, and no one would mind me! T tried to get you to write a letter about it; and now you must write, for people will not believe. They will read and forget all about it.” i

3 I remember perfectly her anxiety that I should write to the/public and proclaim that elecampane and fresh milk are the specific for hiydrophobia.and my purpose to repeat thé account she gave me of it, but do not remember why I did not do so. -/That I may atone for my negligence I now repeat what she so long ago told me and what she now urges me to make as public as possible. i ' In her old home in Chester county, Pa., lived a German, named Joseph Emery, who used to be sent for, far and wide, when any one’had been bitten by a rabid animal. He went to his patient, carrying something understood to be a root, which he, himself, dug in the woods. ' He milked a pint of milk fresh from the cow, put. his root into it, boiled it, gave it to the patient, fasting; made him fast after taking it; gave a second and third dose on alternate days, and never failed in effecting a cure. In some way which she has forgotten, his seeret transpired, and the root was known to be' elecampane. camead S ‘The story, current in the .country, ‘was that an old German made the discovery in the days of | Penn, and applied to the Pennsylvania Legislature for a grant of $3OO for making his secret public. His offer was treated with contempt, and he resolved that lis knowledge should|die with him; but a drunken son knew it, wrote-out the recipe, making a humber of copies, and tried to sell them at a dollar a, piece. One of them was offered to my informant’s grandfather, who. laughed at this vender of important ‘medicinal knowledge., lle only succeeded in selling two, one of these to ‘tlie man who made such effective use of it. So well did he ‘establish the local reputation of his specific, that, in his neighborhood, | folks ‘were not afraid of mad dogs. | His reputation was parallel to that of Dr. Merchant, of Greensburg, to whom every one in this part of the country used to go, or send, when bitten by a mad dog. - _ The intelligent and; integrity of my informant are beyond question, and I regret that her love of privacy should prevent her giving the weight of her name to her conviction that you have published an unfailing specific for hydrophobia. The people of Chester Valley are not of a class likely to be misled by superstition, and she is confident it was a general or universal belief that Jacob Emery never failed to cure or prevent hydrophobia. In one ease the spasms had begun before the first dose was given, and the patient recovered. Shels anxioug foryou to publish the recept again and again, keep it standing, and call attention to it until ‘every one cuts out-and preserves a copy, and is - impressed| with the importance of using the rem-| edy.at once, in caseiof danger. The medical properties of elecampane are very powerful. DMilk, itself, is a specific for many. poisons, and while the medical faculty know no cure for this terrible disease, we should open every avenue of light into the dark subject. If-the disease is one of the imagination, we want a specific to give confidence and cure by, the imagination; but this looks like a real cure of a veritable disease. . JANE GREY SWISSHELM.

» The New [South. A new and promising era has dawned upon the States where once King Cotton held undisputed sway.

Reverdy Johnson on the Curreney. . The Hon. Reverdy Johnson, one of | the old-time Democrats, and probably the ablest Constitutional lawyer "in’ the United States, has written a letter to the New York 7'ribune, in which he sets forth his views on the currency question. He is one of those who believe that the issue of greenbacks during the.war was a vast stretch of Congressional power; and. only to be justified by the extremities to which the nation was at that time reduced. The authorization of a- greenback legal tender was nothing more than to make a forced loan. The Constitution plainly does not contemplate any such extraordinary use of power, for it is therein said that Congress. shall have power “to coin money and regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin.” Money is not more a creature of government than is value. In regulating the value of coin the framers of the Constitution mean the fixing: of the weight and size of the coins. No one then contemplatéd the power of a stamp to convey value. Cohgress is empowered to fix the value offa coin by regulating its weight, size,”shape and .degree of fineness, but nature does the rest.: If the gold dollar had been made to contain twice as much’ metal as now, it would have been twice as valuable, but Congress could not have stamped upon that single dollar, “This is two dollars,” and made it a legal tender for that amount. If, then, there is anything in plain language, it must be -evident that the Constitution does not confer the power to 'make paper a legal tender for debts either public or private. There have already been two decisions by the Supreme Court on this question “of the legality of paper’ money. The first decision was that greenbaeks could not be made a legal tender,but afterwards, upon the re-organization of the court by the :appointment of two new judges, the first decision was reversed. The first decision, adverse to the legality of greenbacks, was made by four out of seven judges, the Jlatter by five out of nine. Butadmit‘ting the legality of the legal tender -act, whieh, it is seen, has been questioned by some of the best judicial } minds of the country, it can only be justified on the plea of urgent neces'sity. No such necessity now: exists. The. country is in a profound state of peace, the last echo of.the war having died away ten years ago. It must be plain, therefore, that we have come to a time when it is right and proper to resume a peace currency. Mr. Johnson sums up his arguments, which is very lawyer-like, in the following terse fashion: e 1. That the only currency known to the Constitution is gold and silver, or paper convertible into it on ~demand. ‘9. That nothing but gold and silver can be made a legal tender. : 3. The government now being perfectly safe, no danger threatening it or being apprehended, Congress has no power to authorize the issue of an irredeemable currency and to make it a legal tender. This is’the clear meaning of that 'part of Judge Strong’s opinion' quoted above. s 4 -That the credit of the nation,the true, pérmanent prosperity of every class of our citizens, and the arrest of the demoralization consequent upon the present state of things, demand as speedy a returnas practicable to a specie currency.| - = - o

The New Orleans 7'imes says the rice crop is one of the most profitable that can be raised in Louisiana, and requires but small working capital.— It estimates the entire cost for preparing the land for seed at $3.50° per acre. Its' cultivation and shocking amount to $l3 more, and the expenditures $6.50, for threshing and handling sums up $23 for twelve barrels of rough rice which can be produced on one acre. - Milling, freight, package, insurance, drayage and commission; will amount to $13.40 more, making a total expenditure of $36.40 for 1,200 pounds of clean rice worth $B4. It will be seen that a net profit. of $47.60 per acre is thus: given, making allowance for the wages of laborers and every other expense., One hundred acres has heretofore been considered the task of three men, which would pay each $1,586.66 for six months’ work. . :

-Glermany is a little slow about doing honor to her illustrious sons, but it is better late than never. A-statue is to be erected at, Detwold, Westphalia, commemorative of the soldierly qualities of a gentleman named Arminius, who flourished before theChristian-era. He was the firstt German commander who could withstand the Roman invaders, and by a elever strategy he defeated and exterminated the legions of Varus. . Inthe following year he defeated Garmanicus and thus ended the Roman ‘invasion of Germany. That was a long time ago, but Ger: many has not forgotten to reward the services of an brave warrior. All Serene Between New and Bristow, : ‘The pleasant' story sent across the country about Bristow, New and Conant being at ears with one another is. as absurd as that of the President experiencing religion. / There may have been a little feeling aroused between these gentlemen in the adjustment of the departmrent business, but there is no basis upon which a most vigorous jumping-jack imagination could build up a difference.—-Chicago Times, Washington Special. . . ;

Daniel Webster having beemn refered to as an advocate of irredeémable paper currency, The New York 7'7ibune quotes the following from ‘his speech of March 22, 1838: “I am a hard money man, and.always have been and always shall be.- * * * I abhor all irredeemable paper; all oldfashioned paper money; all deceptive promises; everything, indeed, in the shape of paper issued for circulation, ‘whether by government or individuals, whi¢h cannot be turned into gold or silver at the will of the holder.” .

The newspaper is the handmaid of civilization. No family can maintain its place in society without it. The man needs it for information about’ markets and politics; the woman needs'it as a diversion from her house-~ hold cares and family duties; the young need it for both' amusemeént and instruction. Thousands of families can fake but a single newspaper; and that one should be their home paper.~—Robinson (Ill.) Argus.

Young men without money who think the paths to success are full of thorns may be encouraged to know that Plimsoll, the man who has lately created such a stir in the British Parliament, once-lived on $1.86 a week,/ He says: -“It is astonishing how little you can live on when you divest Jyourself of all? fancied needs.—Ex. . .

It is said that Anna Dickinson has a sister Susan who is prettier than she. What is mere beauty however, compared with that divine intelleetuality which shines like the morning star and makes the tyrant man shake in his shoes like the two last pills in’ a box ?—New York Times. .
