ICAISI.i IfALI WHEAT.
Air. Editor: I have for some time
past, thought I would send you an arti
cle on this subject when convenient.
but owing to the pressure of business,
have delayed doing so until I am afraid
it is rather late for this season.
I du notproposo to go into a discus
sion or. tne advantages or rail over
pring wheat, as these are known to ev
ery farmer of any experience; neither
shall I attempt to writs a scientific es
say upon the various modes and theo
ries of wheat raising, bui shall give
you a few plain farmer views, which
observation and experience, have
proved to be correct. The common
belief and practice in this western
country, is that our soil and climate
are not well adapted to the raising of
fall wheat: this is a great mistake, we
i mi, and n few du, raise a- good fall
wheat here as anywhere in the United
States. I have seen for the last four
years, several of our farmers raise
firt rate crop, without any failure.
Well, you will ask, if some do suc
ceed, why not all who try ? I answer,
simply becau.-e they do not put it in
rilit, and thi is ull the point I shall
notice.
The common belief that you must
have the ground uneven in older to re
tain the snows i f winter upon i s sur
face as a covering to ihe wheat, and
thi prevents freezing out, is where
all the difficulty lays. I a;k any sens
ible man if he thiuka his wheal will
kill out if the roots are welt covered
with earth? Certainly not, he will sy,
but the wind blows the soil from the
roots, and causes it to kill ot t, uules3
covered with snow; very good, when
does the wind blow this dirt away? i
it in the winter when the ground in
hard frozen and weather cold enough
for snow to lay on il? No sir, il is
late in the fail, and eariy in the spring
that the mischief is done. And here
is ihe way to obviate it.
(Jet your ground as clear of all trash
as po'tible, p'ow it well, deep and
smooth, sow in September (we are
"owing now, first day) harrow thor
oughly with a good iron tooth harrow,
and then 7vll, that is your salvation, roll
the rrcund until it is as srncoth as a
house floor. Again in November, or
ju.-t before col I weather sets in roll
arrain, and in March, or as soon as pos
sible in the .'pring, give it another good
rolling, and look for a good crop of
wheat. You w ill observe that the only
point I try to make is to get your
ground smooth so the wind gets no
chance to blow ihe soil from the roots,
for I consider this as the main cause of
all the failures in the country

Two significant nems of news have
ouie to 1 lit. which may be relied upon
with absolute certainty. Afif-r the
leport of the Cleveland speech reach
ed Washington, a nmvly appointed
Cabinet Minister who has figured ex
tenively in ihe third party movement,
declared hnrself to friends to b utterly
disgusted wiili Mr. Johnson's course,
and expressed the opinion thai the par
ty could not succeed if lie continued hit
speeches; and further, the disgrace of
personal connection with such a char
acter was commented at length.
The ether fact is the following: a
gen'.leman very prominent in th Phil
adelrhia Convention of August 14, and
who sal present al the head ot one ot
in most prominent committees, has ex
pressed bimsetf as heartily sick of the
whole matter, and of ihe I resident in
articular. A prominent Illinois Dem
ocrat, and one devoted to Mr. John
son's policy, gives it ns his deliberate
opinion that a los of 1UU.UUU votes in
the West is certain trom tne rresiuen
lial indiscretions already committed.
The reaction in all respectable Dem
ocratic circles here seems to be as rap
id as the facts above indicate.
The retention upon the call for the
Cleveland; Convention of the names
of persons who have repudiated their
signatures, begm3 to excite reman,
and the fact that it was a movement
set on foot by office worshippers alone.
is beginning to be thoroughly under

upon the proposed meeting.

PEU10IOI-
A.ME.
It has been advertised for some time
that an extraordinary performance
would take place ia this city on the 11th
inst. Ihe old copperhead snake in
Nebraska had been harshly treated
and considerably mutilated, and the
experiment was to be tried of attach
ing to his tail a small rattle, and thus
"recons truct
rattlesnake.
,1 ,!..-. .-.1,1 ei,rminl it..i .
lilT UJ1. pir,'i;iJl ILJ'.W U
The great fear of the
old rep ile appeared to be tbat this lit
tle appendage would prove a di-organ-
izing element, and would sound the
notes of al irr.i when the f.irigs of the
oi l monst-T were about lo be fastet.ed
int) the flesh of some unsuspecting
TTntniri T!i snK-, nri.rifr ilul nut
wih lo have its little excentricities,
such as ihe Memphis and NowOiieuns
sports, interfered wi'h for the mere
purpose of having a supposed orna
ment altatched to its nether ex.remity.
Some of the members of the snake
family, however, had set tltt ir hearts
upon this idol, and argued that the
poor little creature should be taken m
"out of the told," and presented the
ibe ma-.ter in a truly philosophical liyht,
saying that this appeudaae could not be
troublesome, because it would be entire
ly under the centred ( f the make itself,
and unless ihe old fellow gave it the
power of motion it cou!d do nothing.
Takiii'j this viey of the case, il was
finally determined to "purshase" the
supposed ornament, provided it proved
to be sore enough to grow fast to the
nether extremity of ihe reptile.
Accordingly the experiment was
tried. The little appendage concluded
it could stand the surging-, of ihe mas
sive snake, and '.he splice was made
in due form. But alas! "the best laid
schemes of mem and mice" aswe'l as
- i
those of little appendages, cannot be
relied upon. After the sale wss made,
the contract signed, sealed and deliver
ed, the old cotton mouth came forth
and her snakeship gave the body such
a terrible twist that ii raused the raitle
to tremble violently and the huiton was
sent whirling into the air.
OPEN CONFESSION.
One of the speakers in the Copper
head Convention, in speaking in favor
of acceeding lo the request of the "con
vention below" that it have either the
Representative or the Delegate, said
he "was in hopes the American flag
and the Democratic flag could float to
gether." He saw the thing clearly,
and did not hesitate to acknowledge
hat th Democracy had been fighting
under a different banner from ihe
"American flac." We think such an
individual as lie, might be considered
much better "reconstructed" than most
of the party. We have always favored
the plan of being extremely lenient to
wards those who would come out and
acknowledge iheir wrong and short
comings, but opposed to handing tiie
government over into the hands of n
repentant rebels. Let them come out
like this gentleman, and acknowledge
a willingness to even have the "two
flags float together," and it is some
thing in their favor. We really thiuk
they should abandon the rag which has
caused their ruin; but it shows some
signs of repentance when a prominent
man in the party favors floating the two
flags in unison.
FySr" A story is told of a groom who
had enormous feet. The horse trod
on one of them, whereat the groom
flew into a passion anil swore and beat
the poor beast, till a bystander inter
posed, asking why he was in such a
rage. "Rage" shouted the groom,
'the beast trod on my foot." "four

"why the horse must put its foot down
somewhere."

a private letter received yesterday from
Pennsylvania. It shows pretty clearly
how the "Johnson business" is work
ing there, and what ihe feelings of the
true triend3 ot lioerty are. ihe wri

during the entire war, and was one of
'ihe boys who inarched to the sea'
with Sherman :
'This part of the Stathas been un
dergoing . a great chsnge since the
Philadelphia Convention, and many
who expected the Convention do or
say something that would casi light on
the plan of A. Johnson, are disgusted
to find that all issues of impoitance are
dodged ; many who had faith in th
Conservative Rebel party are givina
up all hope of its ever being able to
accomplish anything, and as the pros-per-H
are that the Johnsoii dynasty will
not last but few short years, their
hopes of office grow less, and their
support dwindles down inta a mere
name. Perhaps there never has br-ri
a more exciting Gubprnatorial contest
than is now goinct on in this State.

The Largest Described Snake
Mr. Speke, n h's work on the discov
ery of the source of ihe Nile, thus de
scribes the dentil of a snake of the boa
species, thot by his travelling compan
ion, Captain Grant:
I huddtred in I looked upon the ef
fect of his tremendous dying strength.
For yards around where he lay, glass
and bu.-hea an j saplings, and in fact
evtryihing except the more luly
grown trees, were cul clean eff a
lhoiij:h they had been trimmed with a
scythe. The monster, when measured,
was fifty one feet, two and a halt nich
es in extreme length, while arcuud the
thickest portion of his body, the ginh
was nearly three lee ; ihus proving, 1
beieive, to be the largest serpent that
was ever authentically heard of.
Thai beats the one "assembled" here
lately, in size, but not in vicioustiess.
The Boston Transcript tells an amus
ing story of a young gentleman who.
walking on the common a few evenings
since, came in contact wnh a p-rson

apologised and walked on. A nn mtnt

manded that he should instantly ive

trighiened, ebeyed, and took his de
parture from that vicinity with the great
est possible expedition. The youi
cenileman wen: home and related the
tircumstance to his mother, who burst
into a laugh and told him that his own

The attempt of the JefTDivis organ
over the way, to palm off as true, ihe
statement of Seward, that Gen. Grant
sustains the President and his policy,
cannot succeed. We know, and we
sjx-ak advisedly, that Gen. Grant has
net one single fteling in sympathy with
int i' resident s political course. I he
contemptible tricka employed by John
son and Seward to force Grant to an
pear even to support "My Policy'' have
each and all, signally failed. He ac
companied the party on this trip be
cause thePresident ordered him to. As a
solJier he obeys the President as his
superior ofiicer. Iiot never a word
ha-j Seward or Jchnson extacted from
him in support of "My Policy" and
they cannot do it.
Grant approves the Constitutional
Amendment recently passed by Con
gress, and is in full accord with ihe
Republican party. Tins we know.
lie would sooner cut olf his righ hand
than become a Copperhead. Try aguni.
