THE OLD "WAYS AND THE.. HEW.,
Pvc Just qome In from tho xqpadoTiTTlfCfc
wiiuro luf gross is utii uuu.recn ;.
I hobbled out upon my cane to seo John's
new machine;
It made ray oltLoyes snap again to, eco that
mower mow.
And I heaved a.slgfcjfot-tjia ecytho I w.nng
some twenty years, ago.,
Many ajyi nainy'o tho day I've Jcovsedneath
the rays of tho scorchltiRsao-,
Till I thought my poor old back wonjdbreak
ere my task for the day was done ;
I often think of those days of toll, in tho
fields all over the farm,
T.111 1 feel the sweet on my wrinkled brow,
and the old pain come In my arm.
It was hard work, it was slow work a swing-
in' tne old spj',cp.tiicn.
Unlike the mower that went through tho
grass, like death through the ranks of men;
I stood and looked till my old eyes ached,
amazed at its speed and power ;
The work that it took mo a day todo.ltdono
in one short hour.
John said that I hadn't seen tho half when
he puts It into his wheat,
I shall seo It reap and rake It, and drop It In
bundles neat;
That soon a Yankee will corao along and set
to work and larn,
To reap It and thrash It, nnd bag It up, nnd
send It into the barn.
John kinder laughed when ho said it, but I
said to tho hired men, , .
"I have seen so much on my pilgrimage
through my threescore years nnd ten.
That I wouldn't bo suprlsed to see a railroad
In the air,
Or a Yankee In a flyln' ship, a going most
anywuere."
There's a difference in the work I done, and
the work my boys now do:
In a mowln In the grass the old way, and a
mowin' it in me new;
But somehow, I thluk thcro waa happiness
crowded into those toIIln days,
That tho fast younc men of tho present will
not see till they change their ways.
To think that I ever should live to seo work
done in this wouderful way I
Old tools are of little service now, and
farmln' is almost play ;
The women havo got their sewin' machines,
their wringers aHd every slch thing,
And now play croquet in tho dooryard, or sit
in tho parlor and sing.
Twasn't you that had it so easy, wife, In tho
days so lone gone by:
You rlz up early aud sat up late, a tollln'
foryouaudl;
There were cows to milk; there war butter
to make;and many a day did you stand
A wnshlu' my toil-stained garments, and
wringln' 'em out by hand.
Ah ! wife, our children will never sec thehard
work we havoseeu,
For tho heavy task, and the long task, is now
done with a machine.
No longer the noise of tho scytho I hear; tho
mower there! Hereltafar?
A,rattlln' along through tho tall, stout grass
with the noise of a railroad car.
Well! the old tools now aro shoved away;
thoystanda-gathorln' rust,
Llko many an old man I have seen put aside
with only a crust;
When the eyes grow dim when the step Is
weak, when tho strength goes out of his arm
The best thing a poor old man can do is to.
hold the deed of bis farm.
There Is one old way they can't improve, al
though it has been tried
By men who heve studied, and studied and
wprrled till they died;
It has shone, undimmed for nges, like 'gold
refined from Its dross;
It's tho way to tho kingdom of heaven hy the
simple way of the. Cross,
SENATOR POMEROY ISTERVIBw
ED. ATCHI30N, KAN"-, Aug! 4.
Thomas Jeflfereonj wliilom yreU
dentr pronounced it worth a voyage
across the Atlantic to see the waters
break through the Blue Ridge atljar
per's Ferry. That waa woli enough
for his day. He never saw the Mis
sissippi ; and the country beyond
was to his generation a terra incogni
ta. Mais nous avons change tout ecla.
The wildernes has become a garden
the howling desert a fruitful field.
There are farina in Kansas that as
much more attract the attention of
intelligent travelers to-day than all
the scenery of Virginia, as those in
Jefferson's days attracted visitois
more than the sterile shores of Cape
Cod. Among these is "My Farm,"
the home of Senator Pomeroy "Es
tate Agent," as the "Capital" calls
him who by singleness of purpose
and unrest of energy haft achieved for
Kansas by his Land Policy during
the last ten years a result that prom
ises to make her the Grardeu of the
West. Senator Pomeroy was the pio
neer of emigration to Kansas. He
knows his State thoroughly. His
means are ample; "Horse sense," in
Western parlance,, is his forte. He
knows men. -Business rather than
talk a common sense plan in prefer
ence to an eloquent speech, has been
the secret of his Senatorial success.
Besides, he Is hand and glove with
the President knows him: better,
judges him more correctly, and is
probably a truer exponent of General
Grant's principles than any other
member of Congress.
Desirous of arriving at a correct un
derstanding of the opinions of the Ad
ministration behind the curtain, we
accepted the Senator's invitation to
visit "My Home." We had a double
purpose, of which ho was not aware
to ascertain his views as well as to in
spect his stock but we found him
not reluctant to gratify us iu both
poiutn.
A GREAT' PvttRM.
Starting from Atchison at 8 A. m.,
on a fine Summer's day, we reached
Musootah (town on the prairie, at
nine. Here "My farm" begins. It
is rolling prairie. Streams of water
course between the hills. Hedge
rows of the Osage orange, supplemen
ted by substantial fences, partition
and bound the fields. Tea quarter
seotionB of fertile land, surrounding
a House and barns, stables and sheds,
farm-yards and enclosures, granerjes
and offices all supplied with every
modern improvement; sooreg of acres
of winter wheat whitenirnr for the
harvest, gardens and orchards, nurse
ries and forcing beds, parterres of
flowers and preserves for plants clus
tering around the spacious and taste
ful dwellings; more than a hundred
acres of corn waving its green tops as
far as the eye can reach ; a wind-mill
forcing the water from the streams to
the hill tops, and a reservoir dispen
sing it in irrigating the soil and sup
plying the driuking troughs; past
ures where cattle are cropping the
green herbage, and cultivated fields
busy with laborers all together fur
nished a scene of beauty more attrac
tive to the eye of a New England far
mer than all the great estates of Brit
ian or the sub-divided plains of
prance. The farm-yards', too, were
full of novel experiments. There
were blooded horses from the best
lineage of foreign breed; short-horned
durham cows and bulls, Berkshire
pigs and Asiatic goats, and bufialoss
snatched from their Indian grazing
grounds all assorted, divided, appor
tioned and herded with true farmer
pnae. Tiie Senator has faxprl i-
, most every civilized country in the
Y i., uomer uporiumsas the in
estimable boon of pure agricultural
8to?T -. raarea and stallions, cows
and bulls half from Canada and No--Sce"1,
England and Germany,
the Hebrides and the GuernesifeSi. !&
believes, on the other hand, in. the
domestication of the bison nnd that
by judicious crossing it will improve
both fne flesh, ana. milk, of the bovine
race., i l -- j ..
GENERAL GRANT.
The'agricultural survey finished we
repaired to the house for lunch, and
it was here that I proposed to the
Senator to obtain from him suoh
views of the situation as It was sup
posed he entertained in common with
the President. He denied instantly
having any authority to speak for
General Grant, bat professed himself
willing to be subject to any examina
tion whatever, regarding his own
views.
"You believe then. Senator, in the
lo-nomiijalion, of, General Grant?"
"I do. Audi for tho folio wine rea
sons:
Firsts-The advaneed position taken
by the Republican party is amend
ments to the Constitution and acts of
Congress, securing equal civil and po
litical rights to all men, are not fully
established as a part of the system of
our government. To settle these po
sitions, there must be permanence.
There can be no change of horses till
the stream is crossed.
Second Grant has no competitor.
The moment you quit him there are a
hundred Richmonds in the field. The
reason why you can never move the
Capital is, that you don't know where
to go to. The reason why
you
you
can't
overslaught Grant is, that
have
no one else to taKe.
Third Grant has been true to the
party that elected him, and the peo
ple know it. He ha3 maintained its
faith, vindicated its doctrines, and
held high its standard, even when
older Republicans have; faltered.
Whatever mistakes he has made, he
has never mistaken the Republican
creed.
Fourth Tho nomination of Grant
is assured from the new census appor
tionment. The small States, hither
to powerful in the convention, must
give place to the empire States of the
pjest. And these States, from the
Ohio to the Slerre Nevada, are united
for Grant."
"But, Senator, can Grant be re-elected?"
"Why not? What new enemies
has he to encounter? The triumph
of the Democratic party has not been
foreshadowed. It is at harmony
about neither principles nor men. If
it adopts the new departure it damns
Its pp.st record if it rejeots It, i)t dams
its future success. The party Is hope
lessly divided, and neither Chase nor
Hoffman, Hancock, nor Hendricks
can make it a unit."
TARIFFS AND TAXES.
'But how about measures? The
West will not stand the tariff and the
Republican party is supposed to be
pledged to that?"
"There you mistake, sir. It is
pledged to nothing of the kind. As a
western man, I go for a. thorough re
duction of hoh tariff duties and im
post taxes. Let the Internal Reve
nue Bureau and all its belongings be
abolished. Tax the manufacture and
sale of distilled spirits, malt liquors
and tobacco. Nothing else. Adiust
the tariff ao that luxuries only sfiaji
be taxed and hgme productions fairly
protected. I go for cheap coal, sugar,
coffee, and every necessary of life;
and that is all the West demands."
"And the labor question, civil re
form, -and franking privilege? How
about these?"
"Unmitigated humbugs dead flie3
to catch gudgeons, every one of the
three ! Tcxget wages without work
who dares ask Is? And yet the labor
question menus nothing else. To po
litically emasculate every office-holder
who wants that? And yet civil
Fervice reform, as advocated, propos
es to do that very thing. To tax all
communication between the Govern
ment and the people all letters,
books, seeds, reports, every docu
ment from the Treasury, order from
the War and Navy, specification from
the Patent Office, passport from the
State Department,, inquiry from the
Interior, parcel from the Agricultural
Bureau, printed from the Auditor's
and Compti oiler's offices, and com
mittee report from Congress who
wants all this? The Post Office no
more requires to ;bo self-supporting
than the Treasury. Doubtless there
are abuses. Correct them. But don't
tax knpwledge. In fact, I believe
that free maiJs throughout the length
aud breadth of the laud, free for let
ters, newspapers, magazines and
books, would be the nation's boon.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
"You have been a good deal mixed
up with the woman suffrage question,
Senator. You don't consider that to
be a plank in the Republican plat
form?" "By no means. Woman's suffrage
thus far has been the bete noir of po
litical leaders. They believe in it at
least manv of them do, but are afraid
of it. They remind one of Rufus
Choate's remark when Chief Justice
Shaw "that homely cuss," as old
Nogard used to call him ordered him
In Court to take his seat. "I feel to
ward our Chief Justice," said Choate,
"as the Indian does towards his idol,
I know he is ugly, and I believe he is
great." So our foremost party men
feel toward woman's suffrage; it has
an ugly look, but the stuff is there.
Just now it is under a cloud, but I
am not the one to falter because indis
cretions of friends have made the
cause unpopular. I have advocated
it from the begining. I advocate it
still It has in. itself the- elements of
succeaa. The merits of the question
l!e In the duties and obligations of all
American citizens, who, under our
form of amended law possess equal
rights aud equal privileges, i. e.t "all
made equal before the Jaw." Now
the unavoidable logic of that proposi
tion leans to suffrage for women, but
its opponents will not follow it to its
conclusion. They stop short in fear
of what is before them and reason as
inconsequentially as Mrs. Partington
did upon the 22nd cliapter of Genesis.
These eight,' read Ike, 'did Milcah
bear !' "gtop there, my son !" in
terposed the good woman. "That's
enough. Never do you complain
again of milking the cow, when you
remember that in the time of the
patriarchs it took eight to milk a
bear."
PUBLIC LANDS.
"And now of the Public Lands,
Mr. Pomeroy, what have beeu your
relations to the system, once so heart
ily abused, now so popular?"
"I answer by saying, in the words
of Mr. "Benton. "Solitary and alone I
pat this ball in motion." Of the sys
tem now. adopted of administering
upon the public lands, I may say,
without vanity and in. perfect truth,
quorum pars macna fui. Serving in
the Senate for ten years as member of
the Committee pf Public Lands for a
considerable pare of the same- time its
ohairraan making- fcua suoject,
whether in committee or Senate, a
specialty, and informing myself
thoroughly upon all-its details, I have
never changed from my first point of
departure. ''The.- Public Lands for
V , r.
the Poor?' has always been my mot
to. "Tba-Komestead Act of 1852,"
putting all, the public domain before
the actual settler of his choice of 160
acres, the suspension of land sales by
the Government, the abandonment
of the idea of raising revenue from
these. sales, the virtual nulification of
the old. laud'8crip system, the grants
of public lands to railroads, and all
the legislation, that has- followed; If
claim 33 my doing. There Is not a
law on. the homestead; question which
I ha,v,o riot reported, and whoae. pas
sage I have not aided In securing, and
what has been the resxdt?- Ten 3'ears
have made a fruitful garden out of a
fowling wilderness, have stimulated
emigration bevond precedent, have
built cities and created States, have
linked together in an, indissoluble
bond of iron the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, have called out of chaos
roads and bridges, farms and dwell
ings, barns and orchards, school hous
es and churches; have givon home-
steads to huudreds of thousands of
the oppressed of other lands, and have
placed the Western states on a track
which, by the blessing of Heaven,
must lead to unexampled prosperity.
I stand by this -whole land polioy for
settlers and for railroads. Hand in
hand they made the wilderness and
solitary places glad. Wait for the
coming year, and then writ my epi
taph. --
COPPERHEAD TO THE LAST.
An eccentric geuius named Cornell
died recently at Oxford, N. Y., leav
ing several children, two of them
daughters and Republicans. By a
will the old gentleman cut off his two
daughters on account of their politics.
The following la the disinheiiting
clause :
" Fifth. Believing that natural
consequences of actions based upon
or dictated by the political creed or
belief approved of or advocated by my
daughters, Cornelia A. Wood and
Ruby Houck, have been and are
largely to increase taxation, it is my
will that the amount of taxes paid by
me since 1861, and to be hereafter
paid previous to my decease by me,
together witi th.e succession or other
revenue tax ox taxes to be paid from
or on account of property now or
hereafter owned by me, be considered
as having been paid for on account of
my said daughters, Cornelia A. Wood
and Ruby Houck, aud. it is my will
and 5 hereby direct that they receive
nothing from my estate, either real or
personal."
Mr. Cornell is uncle of the Attor
ney General of the State.
The daughters named above em
ployed Henry Ef. Leggetfc, Esq., one
of the most accomplished lawyers in
New York, in opposition to the will,
the grouuds of contest being that Mr.
Cornell was possessed of a mental
"delusion in regard to the political
condition of th,e country'1 Qne wit
ness testified :
"Ho (Cornell) said- he wonld be
d If his daughter, who had mar
ried a d Black Republican, should
have one cent of his property. This
was not far from the summer of 1862.
The war of the rebellion had' then be
gun, ire said that these soldiers of
the Fourteenth were going down
South to feed the turkey buzzards
and he hoped to God not a d one
of them would over come back."
The Surrogate reserved his decis

nOUSD TO

IVOIUC Mr. M., of Oxford, don't object to.
having a hired man do u full day'n.
work, at least so we should judge from,
the raHowihg-story
" A short Umeago a man went to.
his place for work. 3IrM. set him.
to plowing around a forty, acro
fiekh After he had plowed faithfullv
all day, until tho sun was about haff
an hour high, he expressed his opin
ion that it was about thno to quit
work.
"Oh no," said Mr. M., "you can;
plow nronnd six or eicht times moro-
just as well aa not."
f So the hired man nlowed around
six or eight time3-rncre and then went
to the hot$e, took care of his teams,,
milked nine cows, ate-hls supper, and!
found ten o'clock staring hiimin'tho
ftjpe from the uld timepieeo-.
Said tho hired man to Mrs. M...
"whcroiaMr.M.?"
Tho good woman answered, "ha

He replied that ho did. After be

POTATOKS FOR MlEOET COWS; Mr;.
R. A. Hunt, of Euclid, Ohio, gives
the followjmj result of an experiment,
he made- nr feeding carrob and pota
toes to a milch cow. The cow to
which the roots were given had pre
cisely the samo treatment eaf h- uav,
to far as care and other feeds wntn
concerned, while tho test was beinir
made, having nothing in- addttion to
the roota but dry hay- and water
While 36 quarts of carrots were fed!
daily, 32 pounds of milk were receiv
ed in return r and while the samo
quautity of carrots and potatoes alone
were given, 40 pounds of milk- were
received. The. roots were cut and fed In mes
ses of twelve quarts each three time
por day, and alternate changes made
so that a correct estimate might be
set upon the different roota as miilfc
producers. Mr. Hunt believes- para
toes to be a paying crop wher -raised
for feeding milch cots alone. Mas
