Of IntUnna, Receives Every Vote in the Convention for the Second Place—An Inspiring Scene at the Close of the Convention. Chicago, Icu, July A The National Democratic Convention was cal ed to order by Chairman Barnum of the National Committee, the proceedings being: opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Marquis, of Chicago. Mr. Bnmnm followed when the prayer had closed. He said that harmony was the purpose of the Convention, the nomination of a ticket which would harmonise North, South, East and West. Ha moved that a fair And impartial man, Governor Hubbard, of Texas, he made temporary Chairman, and the motion was carried with enthusiasm. Messrs. Barnes, of Georgia, Senator Jonas of Louisiana and Abram S. Hewitt were appointed a committee to conduct Governor Jtfpobard to tbe chair. His appearance on the rostrum at 12:48 was the signal for prolonged applause. Governor Hubbard, in stentorian tones, expressed thanks for the confidence reposed in him by the election, which he regarded as a compliment to the State from which he came, and which, more than an}’ other State, was absolutely cosmopolitan in every fiber. It was peopled by the wanderers from every State, and it was now with over two million people, placing in the ballot-box over 100,000 Democratic majority. The Speaker went on at length to denounce Republican administration of pnblleaffairs and glanced over the work of the Springer Committee; pictured the reforms which would follow the re-entry of the Democracy to power, and in concluding uiged that when the committee on platform reported they may have no doubtful oracle—speaking with double tongue on the great issues of the day— but such n platform that the wayfaring man, though a fool, might read and understands ■

governor mioDarci concluded at 1:15 ■with a plea for calmness and conciliation in councils and in action, and resumed his seat amid vociferous applause. Ex-M»yor Prince, of Boston presented the list of temporary officers, which was adopted, as follows: Temporary Chairman, R. B. Hubbard, of Texas. Temporary Secretary, Hon. F. O, Prince, of Massachusetts. Assistant Secretaries, E. L. Merritt, of Rlineis; George W. Guthrie, of Pennsylvania; G. L. Johnston, of Iowa; R. M. Rastiford, of Wisconsin; if. J. Lyndc, of Tennessee, and Michael T. Barrett, of New Jei-scy. General Smalley, of Vermont, set the bail a rolling with an apparently harmless resolution : that the rules of previous Conven tions be adopted, with the exception that in voting for candidates for President and Vice-President no State be allowed to change its vote until the roll of all the States had been called. The motion was seconded from all parts of thehbnse, and the Chairman about.to PUT IT THROUGH WITH A RUSH, when It was met by a vigorous protest on the part of the Tammany Hall delegates through Senator Grady, and a lively tiltwas Indulged in between the opposing tlfew York factions. Grady offered a resolution looking to the abolition of the unit rule, but it was defeated, 463 to 325. The vote on Smalley’s original resolution, that the rules of the last Convention govern the body, was then adopted. A resolution was then offered and adopted for the appointment of a committee on credentials and one on permanent organization. A committee on platform was alf« ordered, and it was ordered that all resolutions in regard to the platform be referred to that committee without discussion.. At, four o’clock the. Convention adjourned until 11 a. m. _ Second Day. CH1CA60, ILU, July*. Chairman Hubbard was not a moment behind. The hands of the clock had barely reached the hour of eleven when hu was at his post, calmly surveying the assemblage.* At 11:32 the Convention was again called to order, and Mr. Jenkins, of Wisconsin, reported that the Committee on Resolutions will not be able to report until to-morrow, and asked that they be permitted to sit’ dnriog the Convention. Agreed to. *•*- Mr. Cummings, of Massachusetts, moved that the Committee on Resolutions be directed to give a hearing to the Committee of the Irish National League on the <juestion of ownership of land by aliens. ; A number of resolutions on various subjects intended to find a place in the platform wertT ptescoted and referred to the Committee on Resolutions. i he report of the Credentials’ Committce was next made. The committee reported in the case of the contested Twellth District of Massachusetts in fh^or Of Messrs. Kellnm, McLeonard, Ptfrry aud Bleloch as entitled to seats. The committee also reported in favor of admitting delegates from the Territories to seats and votes in the Convention adopted. The Committee on Permanent Organization reported Colonel W. E. Vilas, of Wisconsin, as permanent President and a Vice-President from every State. Vilas’ mme was greeted with prolonged cheer-, ing. The Chairman named a distinguished commit tee including Smith, Weed and Hendricks to escort Mr. Vilas to the chair. His reception was in the nature of • triumphal ovation long continued, the .Chair ordering the band to give a patriotic air. Vilas said:

/••Gentlemen; I know well that this mark at your favor is no personal compliment, but a recognition of the young Democracy of the Northwest [applause]; and I claim It as a justly due tribute to their lofty zejil and patriotic struggle against an outnumbering foe; and I hall It as a •presage of coming triumphs [applause].

[ApYllas concluded with a passionate appeal for devotion to the principles of the At the conclusion of Vilas' speech, and after the introduction and reference of a few mo|re resoiuttqps, the Convention

r.-• ■ —•- 41 proceeded under * call or State* to offer the names of candidates tor the Presidential nomination. Attorney-General Gray, of Delaware, nominated Thomas F. Bayard. Ex-Governor Hendricks, ot Indiana, nominated Joseph E. McDonald. Delegate Breckenrldge, of California, presented the name ot Allan G. Thurman, ot Ohio. Jag. A. McKenzie, of Kentucky, nominated Hon. J. G. Carlisle., Daniel Lockwood, of Buffalo, presented the name of Grover Cleveland. Each nominee found ardent admirers, and the Convention was one series of exciting bursts of enthusiasm during the progress of the nominations, the voices of the speakers being frequently drowned by the tumultuous applause. ADJOURNED. At 6:07 p. m. the call of the Slates began or the question of suspending the order of business and to 'decide whether the Convention should take recess or adjourn. A vote on reeess being taken by call of the roll of States, it was carried to adjourn till 10:30 a. m. to-morrow. ThirJ Day. Chicago, III., July 10. The Convention was called to order at precisely 11.07 a. m. when nearly all the delegates were in their seats. The scene was the liveliest of any that has been witnessed so far. The galleries were full and there was confusion everywhere. A large force of police and assistant ser-geanis-at-arms were distributed, and everything was done to preserve order. Dr. Lorimcr, the distinguished South Side Baptist minister opened the proceedings with prayer. The Committee on Platform reported that they were not read; to submit the platform, and would not report it before 7 p. m. Leave to sit during the day was granted. A motion to admit to the hall all Democratic clubs on their badges was reiused. NOMINATIONS. The Chair ruled that the call of States for nominations must now proceed, and after a short discussion on a resolution of Mr. Louden providing for the printing of the platform, the call of States was proceeded with. The business of making nominations was opened by General C. G. Mansur, of Missouri, who seconded the nomination of Thurmau. Mansur was suffering from extreme hoarseness and the effort to speak loud enough to enable 15,000 people to hear was evidently a painful one. He characterized Thurman as the Bismarck of America, amid prolonged cheering, and seconded his nomination. Thomas G. Powell, of Ohio, took the platiorm to nominate Hoadley. He did not get even a ripple of apDlanse. RANDALL NOMINATED. Ex-Senator Wallace, in presenting Bamlali’s name, was applauded again and again, and at ouce plunged into an eloquent speech, the best yet heard on the floor and the most warmly received. The clerk announced the names of candidates as follows: Thomas F. Bayard, Joseph E. McDonald, John G. Carlisle, Grover Cleveland, Allan G. Thurman, S. J. Kandall, George Hoadly. A motion to adjonrn prevailed, and at 2:25 the big hall was emptied amid the playing of bands, the shouting of the multitude aud the gayest commotion.

EVENING SESSION. It was not until 8:24 o’clock that the Convention was in a condition to justify President Vilas in calling it to order. In the Interval the Tammany men were surrounded by a large number of delegates and an important conference was apparently in progress. K. II. Henry, of Mississippi, as soon as the Convention was in order submitted the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Resolved 1. That this Convention has read with profound regret and intense admiration the statesmanlike and patriotic letter of Samuel J. l'ilden, expressing the overpowering and providential necessity which constraius him to decline the nomination for the highest office in the gift of the American people. [Applause ] 2. That though frand, force and violence deprived Samuel J. Tildeu and Thomas A. Hendricks of the offices conferred upon them by the Democratic party of the Nation in 1876, they yet live, and ever will live first in the hearts of the Democracy of the country. [Applause.] 3. That this Convention expresses the Nation’s regret that this same lofty patriotism and splendid executive aud administrative ability which cleansed and purified the city and State governments of the great Empire State, cannot now be turned upon the Augean stable of national fraud and corruption so long and successfully maintained by the Republican party at the National Capitol. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be suitably engrossed, and that the Chairman of the Convention appoint a committee whose duty it shall be in the name of the Convention to forward or present the same to the Hon. Samuel J. Tilden and the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks. [Applause.] The roll was then called, and the following named gentlemen were chosen as members of TliE NATIONAL COMMITTEE: Henry C.

The Committee on Platform presented a report on the subject of a chairman oi the National Committee, which had been referred to them. The committee reported a resolution providing that the committee shall not be restricted in their choice of a chairman to the members of the committee, which was unanimously adopted. Congressman Morrison was then recognized to present the report of the COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM and the accompanying resolutions. He began to read and was listened to with great attention, bnt silence Inside of the Convention wss seriously disturbed by the shouts lrom the throats of thousands )a front the building as a bulletin

ballot tit was possible a won dbe readied to-night. General Butler arose to present a minority report at the conclusion ol Mr. Morrison* I reading. THU MINORITY REPORT nay be summarized as follows: 1. That no taxes, direct or indirect, can be rightlolly Imposed upon the people, except to meet the expenses of an economically administered Government. 2. That the revenue necessary for the ordinary expenses of the Government should be raised by customs duties upon imports. 3. That ail materials used id arts and manufactures and the necessities of life not produced in this country shall come in free, and that all articles of luxury should be taxed as high as possible up to the collection point 1. That lit opposing customs duties the law mu$t oe carefully adjusted to promote American enterprise and industries, not to create monopolies, and to cherish and ioster American labor. It provides farther that labor has. a right to demand of the Government to establish tribunals in which the great Controversies arising between labor and capital, which may lead to a revolution, may be judicially and justly determined with the fullest power to enfoicj their decrees, aud that labor has a right to demand a just share of the proilts of its own productions, ft views with alarm the absorption of pnblic lauds by corporations aud individuals, and demands of Congress to apply appropriate remedies with a stern baud, so that the lands of the people may be held by the mauy and not by the few. TUE iuTTOKM ADOPTED. Morrison moved the previous question on the report hud substitute, and it was ordered. The vote was then taken by States on Buyer’s substitute, and it was rejected—ayes, 97 1-2; nays, 714 1-2. When the vote of Indiana was beiug announced Senator Voorhees stated that he wished specially to have his vote recorded in the affirmative. The question recurred on the adoptiSn of the majority report, aud it was adopted. Ties FIRST BALLOT. The Convention then proceeded at 12:03 to take the first ballot for a candidate for President with the following result:B ■ ■ Clevc'and.j._391 Bayarl..1.170 Thu man.j. S8 Kandnlt.J. 78 McDonald..56 Carlisle...SI Convention adjourned at 1:10 a. in. Fourth Daw. Chicago, III., July 11. The hour at which the Convention adjourned last night, coupled with the tact that the thermometer was close on to the nineties la the shade, acted as an effectual damper on the punctual instincts which so far have characterized the Convention. At ten o’clock, the hour appointed for, reassembling, only twenty delegates were in their seats and less than half of the gallery space was occupied. AN OVATION TO HENDRICKS. Shortly after ten o’clock Hendricks entered the hall. As soon as he was recognized the audience arose and gave him an ovation, the cheering continuing for a minute or more. He took his seat and was soon surrounded by friends and political admirers.

JOHN KELLY RECEIVED WELL. The ovat ion which Hendricks received was equaled by that which welcomed John Kelly as he entered the hall, the audience giving him three times three. At 10:50, President Vilas arrived and at once called the Convention to order. Kev. Dr. Clinton Locke, of Grace Episcopal Church, Chicago, made the opening prayer, calling upon God to direct the proceedings ol! the Convention. When the prayer was concluded the chairmau made an eloquent appeal lor order during the day. Before the call of States on the second ballot was ordered Pennsylvania withdrew the name of Samuel j. Kaudall. The names of States which yesterday failed to respond with names for National Committee, were called, after which the Chair annouucet^ie receipt of numerous telegrams favorwy various candidates, which the Convention declined to have read or placed on record. THIS ROLL OF STATES. At 11:32 a. m.( the roll of States was ordered for the* second ballot, on the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency : Alabama—Bayard 14, McDonald 1, Cleveland 5. Arkansas—Cleveland 14. Califomia—Tkurman 16. Colorado—Cleveland 6.. Connecticut—Cleveland 12. Delaware—Bayard 6. Florida—Bayard 2, Cleveland 6. Georgia—Bayard 10, Cleveland 14. Illinois—Hendricks 1, Cleveland 28, Bayard 3, McDonald 1. When Illinois voted one for Hendricks there was a demonstration lasting nearly half an hoar. Hendricks arose after the demonstration and Kelly and Tammany crowded {.round him. j The Cheering continued. There was immense enthusiasm. During the entire demonstration Hendricks appeared to be in a great state of agitation, although he smiled and tried to converse with those around him. When Illinois was called to complete her vote she cast 38 for Cleveland, and auother demonstration broke out, this time for the New York Governor. Th% Convention ve^is once more in an uproar, the Cleveland men endeavoring to counteract the effect of the Hendricks’ demonstration. j When order was restored the ballot proceeded, and after the roll of States bad been completed it was found that Cleveland hadil75 votes. Illinois led off in changing votes and a stampede set in to Cleveland w hich resulted in the following result. Total vj>te cast 820. Necessary to choice, 547. Cleveland, 083; Hendricks, 81 1-2; Thurman, 47; McDonald 2; Kaudall, 4. On motion of Menser, the nomination of Cleveland was then made unanimous. An anchor and picture were brought to the front of the stage, while the Chair made the olfleiai announcement that Cleveland was the unanimous nominee of the Democratic party. The picture was hoisted on the chairman’s desl., the band played and the enthusiasm reached its height. On motion of ex-Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, a recess was taken until hive o’clock this evening.

evening session*. The delegates returned to the scene of their labors a little wearily as the hour for reassembling approached, and the thousands of lookers-on, who have been In attendance during the exciting struggle for supremacy returned to the Convention Ball eveu more leisurely than the delegates. Many of them did not return at nil, and when at 5:35 p. m. the Convention was CALLED TO ORDER, thenumbcr of persons present in the galleries was scaicely a third of those who attended the afternoon proceedings. The business of the evening session began by the adoption of a resolution to limit speeches to five minutes in presenting the names of candidates for VicePresident. T ie call of States then proceeded. Miles Seaalu, of California, nominated General W. jS, Rorecrahs. Governor Grant of Colo rado nominated McDonald. Hon. F. T. Fenton, of Kansas, presented the name of G. W. Gllck. Ex-Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, nominated Thos. A. Hendricks and moved a suspension of the rules to nominate him by acclamation. At the conclusion of Governor Waller's remarks California qjlcklr withdrew the name of Hosecrans; Kansas followed with the withdrawal of Gllck; Indiana speedily substituted Hendricks for McDonald, and GOVERNOR HUBBARD of Texas, taking advantage of the tide that had set in toward Hendricks, secured the attention of the audience and spoke indorsing the selection of Hendricks as Vice-President

By unanimous consent » ballot was then taken, and with the exception of one vote by Mississippi for McDonald, which was afterward withdrawn on the ground that It had been erroneously cast. The selection of Hendricks was unanimous f'rom Brst to last, and it was officially announced by the Chairman that the " ENTIRE YOTK, numbering 816, was for Kendricks for Vice-President. Between the conclusion of the roll-eall and the official announcement ol! the vote there was a scene probably nn|iaralleled in the history of political conventions; one impossible of imagination and indescribable by pen. Ulffl A FLASH OF LIGHTNING, the representatives of every delegation on the floor, bearing aloft the shields and banners embletnatic of their States, moved to the center of the hall, and surrounded the Indiana delegation. For llfteen continuous minutes cheer after cheer echoed throughout the hail and was communicated to the thousands on the outside. Then taking advantage of the temporary lull the musicians struck up the familiar and soulstirring strains of AULP LANG SYNEThe effect was electrical; the scene one never to be forgotten. The audience took up'the song and in a moment it was pealing forth from 15,000 throats. Deleeates from Texas clasped- the hands of those from New York. The men of Maine fell upon the necks of their confreres from the Territories, and strong men who, but a few hours before had been firing grape-shot invective into oue another, sat back in their chairs with the tears pouring down their cheeks. On the platform the delegates stood clasping one another hands, each voice trying to outvie the others. As the refrain “In the Name of Anld Lang Syne” was reached there was a circle composed of President Vilas, Henry Watterson, General Black, Colonel Clnmie, of California; Waller, of Connecticut, and ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas. A yard away Ban Butler was WRINGING THE HAND of a delegate from Colorado. Kvcn that staunch old leader of the-Republican party, E. B. Washburne, of Minnesota, who had been on the stage thri ng tout the Convention, joined in the ovation with his tremulous voice, as he waved his handkerchief over hishead. Suddenly THE BAND CHANGED THE AIR from “Anld Lang Syne” to “America,” and agai n the audience took up the patriotic refrain with, if possible, more heartiness than before. After this came “HOME SWEET HOME,” and now the gathering, exerting its voice with might and main, completely drowned the music of the band. The soprano notes .of SEVERAL HUNDRED LADIES, who were scattered about the hall, rang out high and clear above the deeper tones of the men. As the mingled voices of the assemblage died away in the last strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” General Breckenridge, of California, requested the band to play “OLD HUNDRED,” and once more the blended voices of those present grandly swelled to the music and rhythm of “Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow.” The demonstration lasted for forty-five minutes. Resolutions of thanks to President Vilas, Sergeant-at-Arms Bright, PressChairman Austin H. Browu, and other officers, were adopted with considerable thankfulness, and at 7:30 p. m. the Democratic Convention ol 1884 adjourned without day.

Fatal Explosion. ipoOKYlLle, Mo., July 8. At Elliott’s Landing, seven niiies below here, the boilers of the steam tag If. C.Coleman exploded, by which the eutire Crew, consisting of three white men and four negroes, are believed to have been killed, with the exception of Cap. tain Thompson, of this city, who was brought here late last evening, badly scalded, l’art of the pilot house was found in a field 200 yards from the scene of the explosion. The boat belonged to Captain Henry McPherson, and ” is a total loss. A dispatch received late this afternoon from Kochcport, Mo., says it is now definitely known that the crew of the Coleman, with one exception, were killed by the explosion or drowned after being blown into the river. Committed To Jail—A Bad Crowd. Baltimore, Md„ July 9. At the inquest on the body of “Prince” McGowan, who was killed early yesterday morning. The jury rendered a verdict that McGowan came to his death from a pistol shot supposed to have been fired by Gus Slater. Slater was committed to jail. McGowan was known here as a rough, and of late years has been a conspicuous figure in the police courts. He has been indicted eighteen times for various offenses since .1882. He was tried a year ago for the murder of Anna Gorter, but" was acquitted. McGowan’s wife became a mother about half an hour before her husband was shot. Slater is also quite well known among the roughs of this city, and has an unenviable record in the courts. deiirt Disease. Bloomington, III., July 9. W. C. P. Remine, of tnis city, died very suddenly yesterday from what physicians think was heart disease. He was aged thirty-seven, and was quite noted locally as a criminal lawyer. He defended Patsy Divine, who was hanged at Clinton, III two years ago. Rcmine has of late been experiencing domestic difficul ties and a few weeks ago his wife separated from him and went to Racine, since when he has been living rather fast and reckless. It was at first supposed Remine had taken poison, but doctors decided otherwise. He was a native of Greenville. Tenn. 4 --- A Deserted Capitol. Washington, "D. 0., July ». The halls of Congress are deserted. The janitor is cleaning up and locking np. Hardly half a dozen Congressmen visited the Capiltol yesterday, and none remained any length of time. None of the committees that were authorized to sit daring recess will do any work for weeks. Most of the Senators and Representatives have gone to Chicago or home, leaving, perhaps. a score of their colleagoes behind, aud they, too, will soon leave Washington. Vice-President Edmunds has gone to Vermont. Senator Bayard started lor hia home in Delaware yesterday.

Landed is a Storm. Montreal, July 9. Prof. Grimley who, with J. B. Walton and Charles A. Ovrler left Montpelier, Vt., in a baloon on Friday evening, reached here yesterday. They landed ir a potato patch daring a severe storir and left for home in the evening. Their greatest height was 14,800 feels, where, although a buzzing in the ears was experienced, no other uncomfortable sensations were felt. IrUn Wreckers Captured. Canton, Miss., July 8. News was received here that a white man had been arrested at Duck Hill by railroad detectives, on the information of a woman he was about to marry. She says he had confessed to her that he belonged to the party that had made several unsuccessful efforts lately to wreck the trains of the Illinois Central Bailroad near that point. He .is in jail, and it is probable his confederates will shortly b« captured. —Six wholesale stores under the Brooklyn bridge are in operation.

Sheep Husbandry One advantage from keeping a few sheep on the farm is the fact that those fortunate fanners engaged Li the pursuit have a dip of worn, some fat lambs or sheep to sell at a time when but few other farm produets are ready for marfeet. Money is usually most in demand among farmers during spring and summer, for it is then that they are engaged in making the crops to tic sold the ensuing fall and winter. Combining sheep husbandry with grain-growing pieces out an uncomfortable gap in the finances. when without it the farmer’s business would for a while be all outgo and no income. Sheep will fit into the rotation so nicely in other ways than by furnishing money at convenient periods that a certain number can and should be kept on nearly every large farm. Sheep eat much that would otherwise be lost, during both winter and summer. Bean straw and refuse beans are excellent feed for sheep, and usually of little vklue for any other kind of stock. With these and clean, bright straw little or no hay will be needed in wintering a fattening sheep. The utilization of what otherwise wonld be wasted goes far toward paying the winter keep, and a yard full of valuable manure helps to make good any deficiency. Jn summer sheep will pay their way if kept in an apple-orchard to live on the fallen, wormy fruit, in addition to what they cau graze, or if placed in a lot filled with young shrubs whieh it is desirable to keep down. Line apples free from codling worms are the result of the vigilance of a flock of sheep in destroying this enemy of the apple-grower. With good management it is possible on a large farm to keep a greater or less number of sheep whose keeping shall be almost inappreciable in cost. With B crop of wool and lambs each year such a flock can not fail to prove profitable. The chief mistake iu sheep husbandry is in keeping more than can be economically provided For. It requires increased care and skill to manage large ■flocks. Beyond a certain limit they are more expensive and destructive than almost any other live stock. In the orchard, if in greater numbers than the pasture will keep, they will take to gnawing the bark of young trees, while this habit once formed cannot easily be broken. Sheep should never be pastured on clover, old or young. With the natural grasses the habit of the isheep in gnawing the stem down into the earth is Jess ob eetionable. Two weeks’ rest and a good rain will make the pasture green again. On the other hand, clover thus gnawed to the root is killed. With the loss of the clover the hope of maintaining or restoring fertility is also imperiled. Some excellent fanners have found sheep so destructive to clover that they have sold their flocks and will keep sheep no more. If there were no alternative but pasturing sheep on their elover fields, they did well to abandon the business. Still we think that many of these same farmers might profitably resume Sheep husbandry on a smaller scale, and be careful to keep their flocks within the number that they can maintain without turning on their clover fields.

a tanner who has once profitably kept sheep will no! often be long contented without at least a few on his plaee. It requires a good farmer to succeed'with s^eep and such a one will be impatient of the waste sure to result from disposing of them entirely. Yet it is probably true that many farmers; will require an education before they can make sheep anything but an intolerable nuisance. He who has no capacity for details should never- keep sheep. The are among the smallest domestic animals and the most dainty feeders, requiring most skill and care not to overfeed, especially with grain. Yet the necessity for this carefulness is in itself an excellent educational feature When the husbandman has learned to keep sheep with profit he will bo pretty sure to succeed in other branches -of his farming. Of course this has reference to sheep husbandry in the older States. In the far West, where land fo'r grazing practically costs nothing, keeping sheep may be continued as ‘ it has been pursued in the past, in the careless, slipshod manner in which other farm operations are conducted. Even the enormous losses of flocks during severe winters in those wild regions must admonish the herders that some more care is needed to keep sheep profitably than will answer with other kinds of stock. Will Western, Southern and Australian herders force Eastern farmers out of the business of sheep husbandry ? So far as keeping large flocks is concerned, the answer may be ip the affirmative. These large flocks, however, were never proportionately as successful as those of smaller size. We believe that the business of selling oft' sheep in our older States has been overdone. Probably no one hereabouts will keep as many sheep as were once included in certain largo flocks, but there is good reason for believing that a large proportion of farmers; wfil And it to their interest to keep a few sheep. Even on low-priced land, or even that which has a mere nominal value, as in Texas and Australia, the keeping of many thousand sheep under one ownership has been attended with losses so severe that smaller flocks will hereafter prevail.—Cultivator. True Courage. “Pluck” is used so generally that it has almost ceased to be a slang term; everybody knows what it means, and that it is one of the best qualities of mind a man can possess. Pluck is not a blind impulse of audacity. It realizes the strength of the enemy it proposes to vanquish. It proceeds on a reasonable! and, as far as may be, accurate estimate of the costs of the enterprise in which it is about to engage. Many a man is brave in an emergency “on the spur of the moment,” but can not coolly face danger. Pluck looks ahead, and lays its plans carefully, sagaciously and with every precaution. No man who is true to his nature will allow himself to be daunted bv the difficultv of

living. Of course, life is a toil; unquestionably, it will lie hard work to live. We have — most of us, at least—seen enough of the world, and experienced the effort of a laborious existence, so as to be well assured that we shall not find our path carpeted with moss and strewn with rases; but this does not dismay us. The soldier is not scared by the prospect of meeting his enemy; on the contrary, he is eager for the fray, because then he will have the opportunity of showing his prowess in high deeds of valor. This is precisely the frame of mind in which we ought to encounter life. The man of pluck has nothing whatever in common with that monster of misery, the “resigned” and “patiently enduring” creature who goes through life bearing trouble and snowing the sort of fortitude in the hour of affliction which consists in “bowing the head to the rod,” and accepting the buffets of fortune at if forsooth they were trials sent to chasten. A truce to such pitiful and claptrap pretenses. There is no more contemptible character than that of the half-sullen and even sighing “tried one,” unless it be the querulous complainer whose whole life is a prolonged lamentation, and who makes a show of his sorrows and trades on the compassion extorted by his brokenheartedness. — Waverly Magazine. —The Farm and Garden says: “If the harness he thrown over a draught horse, or the saddle be placed on the back of a rider, he mtfy be led out of • burning stable as easily as on ordinary occasions.

By digging out with the fork it can be taken out entirely, leaving no pieces behind; but if the spade is used and the plant is cut each piece will sprout again. It will not be likely to disappear at the first attempt, but by replanting the land with corn and continuing to fight the pest with a fork as before it will eventually be headed off —Chicaqo Journal. Level Culture of Potatoes. Farm Manager gives his method of raising potatoes. It is excellent in the main, but if he will allow me, I will suggest how an improvement could probably be made in' one particnlar. He says: “I cultivate often and carefully, both ways, until the blossoms begin to appear, when we hill them np with a horse-hoc or shovel-plow, making as high and as broad a hill as we conveniently can.” Now, will he please tell ns why he makes such high broad hills, and why his cultivation ceases at blossoming time? By changing his practice a littlo in these respects 1 think he could add considerably to his average yield, if his soil is suitable, and it would seem as though it must be a pretty good potato soil from the crops lie raised. Thirl years ago, when I was hirty .•-— - —. - small boy^J used to hill potatoes in my father’s garden in New York, just as’ Farm Manager does now. My father used to insist bn my making the hills large and dishing so as to “catch the rain.” When I began farming I remembered the lesson, and noticed also that other people hilled their potatoes, and I did likewise. If I had been asked why I did so, I should certainly have preached’ the “caleh the rain” theory, with perfect assurance that it was sonnd doctrine. Furthermore, I stopped cultivating when the' blossoms began to appear, because kother farmers did, and because they said it wonld make the potatoes set again. Now, I have not only discarded shovel-plows entirely, but keep the cultivator going without regard to blossoms as long as a horse can get between the rows, and oftentimes after the vines tonch each other. With all due respect to our fathers and other people, I can not help thinking that this plan is in accordance with common sense as well as practical success. The habit of hilling probably came from the necessity of keeping the tubers ont of wator on land that was too wet (on such lautl it may be necessary yet), or else from planting in a shallow mark, when it becomes necessary to hill up to- prevent the tubers from being burned by the sun. I can think of no reason why reasonably 'shallow cultivation should stop at blossoming-time, unless some one wanted an excuse for doing as little work as possible. Hills are made broad and dishing to catch the rain, I suppose, on the supposition that the roots of the potato are all right under the hill, and that they want water there. What are the ’ facts? Farm Manager’s potatoes, planted three feet apart each way, if the soil is drained and reasonably fine and mellow (it probably is to bring the yields he -lias had), ‘before they are" full grown, will send roots across between the rows in every direction in search of food. If he will take pains to carefully wash ont a thrifty hill I think he will be surprised to find how completely the little roots occupy all the ground between the rows. The roots, of course, are mostly in the lower part of the plowed ground. There will be few near the surface. If the surface of the ground is kept level, or nearly so, a shower soaks in all over alike, and each root gets Its share. They want the rain just a3 much between the rows as in the hills. If the potatoes are planted moderately deep, as F. G. has so persistently (ahi correctly, as I think) advised in yonr columns, and the surface is nearly level, and kept constantly stirred, the crop is in the best shape, not only for catching rain, but to endure hot, dry weather—one of its greatest enemies. During such weather, cultivation, moderately shallow, so as not to injnre the roots (say two inches deep), may be kept up without regard to blossoming time, and with great advantage to the crop. Two inches of fine, mellow earth on the surface help greatly to check evaporation and to keep the ground moist and cool where the potato roots are, as it needs to be for the best results. Suppose one hills up his potatoes with the shovel-plow, what does he do ? He piles the mellow earth, which shpuld make a mulch all over the surface, up about the hill. This is well, perhaps, if he could get as much more to put in between the rows again, but instead he leaves this space (where a part of the roots are), bare, hard and exposed to the hot sun. If he should cultivate it again’ he would injure the roots, which arei now near the surface, and the soil in the hills will certainly dry out more than if it were down nearly level and protected by a mulch of fine earth. On nndrained land, in a very wet season, a part of the water might run off to advantage, perhaps, if the potatoes were hilled up, but it would be better to nnderdrain, plant deep and not hill much (1 like to throw a little earth into the hills with a horse' hoe), as one wonld then have a chance to get the best possible crop without regard to the season. We are having a very hot, dry .time here now (Jnne !)), ancj 1 am using aslanting board, attached to the rear of the cultivator, which pulverizes and smooths down the marks left by the teeth of the cultivator. Thus we give the surface a good stirring and press it down fine and nearly level wain.— Country Oent(eman.

to [Extract from Missouri Republican* July 8, ll>Si.] TRADE-MARK DKC1&I03 — INJUNCTION REFUSED. The snit of John II. Zeiliu * Co., of Philadelphia, against Charles F. Simmons, of St. Louis, pending: in the Circuit Court of the United States tor the Eastern District of Missouri, came up on yesterday before Hon. Saiuuel Treat, one of the Judges of said Court, on the application of the' complainants for an injunction. It wus chlltan m the hill of comeiainants that, they were the earners, proprieirsand manufacturers of what is known as “Dr. A. Q. Simmons' Liver Hegulator,” and that the defendant was manufacturing and selling a medicine in imitation of theirs, called “Dr. M. A. Simmons’ Vegetable Liver Medicine.” and was infringing the trade-mark of complainants in the kind and character of the packages and wrappers used. For these reasons ah injunction was asked. The defendant in his answer showed that Dr. M. A. Simmons, his predecessor and assignor, had. been manufacturing and selling the “liver Medicine” 19*11, and that if there was any since the year mmpH interference or infringement op the part of either, it was the complainants who, n|Ul,infringed the defendant ’ and not tHb defendant Who had inf ringed the complainants. The court, after hearing the bill and answer read and alter a personal inspection of the packages "filed as exhibits ifc the ease; tiro without hearing a single-affidavit read in tho case, very promptly disposed of the complainant's application in these words: “/ re/use the tnjnnetum. Any ohe-irJlo mn’t ted the d«yeresoe between these yaehaats mast be very blind.” This was considered a very great victory for the defendant as it pmet ieugy disposes of the ease in his favor by Judge ’Treat of this district.
