His Letter of Acceptance
NEW York, July 20. TJio follow
ing is the full text oWba PlTon. Will
iam A. Wheeler's letter of accept
ance: AtALOxn, N. Y., July 13, 1S76. .
Tiie Hon. JSdwnrd McPlierson nnd others of
the Committee ofthe Republican National
Convention.
Gextlkmen: r.received on theGth
Inst, your communication advising
me that I had been unanimously
nominated by the Rational Conven
tional of the Republican party, held
at Cincinnati on the 14tti ult.r for the
office of Vice President ofthe United
States, and requesting my acceptance
of the same, and asking my attention
to the summary of the Republican
doctrines contained in the platform
adopted by the convention. A nomi
nation made with such unanimity
implies a confidence on the part of
the convention which inspires my
profound gratitude. It is accepted
with a senso of responsibility which
may follow. If elected, I shall en
deavor to perform the duties of the
ofllec in the foar of the Supremo Rul
er, nnd in the interest of the whole
country. To the summary of doc
trines enunciated by the convention
I givo my cordial assent. The Re
publican party has intrenched in the
organic law of our land the doctrine
that liberty is the supreme, unchange
able law for every foot of tho Ameri
can soil. It is the mission of that
party to givo full efTect to this princi
ple by "securing to every American
citizen complete liberty and exact
equality in tho exercise of a'l civil,
political, and publio rights." This
will be accomplished only when the
American citizen, without regard to
color, shall wear this pauoply of citi
zenship as fullj' and securely in tho
canebrakes of Louisiana as on the
banks of tho St. Lawrence. Upon tho
question of
OUK SOUTHERN llELATION'S,
My views were recently expressed as
a member of a committee of tho Uni
ted States House of Representatives
upon Southern Hairs, inose views
remain unchanged, and were thus
expressed: Wo of tho Xorth delude
ourselves in expecting that the mass
es of the South, so far behind iu ma
ny of tho attributes of enlightened
improvement and civilization, are in
the brief period of ten or iifteen years,
to be transformed into our model
Northern communities that can only
come through a long course of patient
wafting, t'o which no one can now
set certain bounds. There will be a
good deal of unavoidable friction,
which will call for forbearance, and
which will have to be relieved by the
the temperate and fostering care of
tho Government. One of the most
potent, if not Indispeusible, agencies
in this direction will be the devising
of some system to aid in the educa
tion of the- masses. The fact that
there are whole comities in Louisiana
in which there Is not a solita' school
house is full of suggestion. Wo com
pel these people to remain in the Un
ion, and now duty and interest de
mand that wo leave no just means
untried to make them good, 103'al cit
izens. How to diminish the friction,
how to stimulate tiie elevation of this
portion of our country, are problems
addressing themselves to our best
and wisest statesmanship. The foun
dation for these efforts must be laid in
satisfying tho Southern people that
they are to have equal and exact jus-
lice accorded to them. Give them, to
the fullest extent, every blessing
which tho government confers upon
the most favored ; give them no just
cauBe for complaint; and then hold
them by every necessary means to an
exact ami rigid observance of all their
duties and obligations under tho Con
stitution and its amendments, to se
cure .to nil within their borders man
hood and citizenship, with every
right thereto belonging. Tho
JUST OBLIGATION TO PUBLIC CREDI
TORS, Created when the government wa9 in
tho throes of threatened dissolution,
and -as an indispensable condition of
Its salvation, guaranteed by the lives
and blood of thousands of its brave
defenders, are to be kept with religi
ous faith, as fire all the pledges sub
sldary thereto and confirmatory there
of. In my judgment, the pledge of
Congress of January 14, 1S75, for the
redemption of the notes ofthe United
States in coin, is the plighted faith of
uie nation, ana national honor, sim
ple honesty, and justice to the people
whoso permanent welfare aud pros
perity are dependent upon true
money as the basis of their pecuniary
transactions, all demand the unscru
pulous observance of this pledge, and
it is. the duty of Congress tosuppli
meut it witli such legislation as shall
be necessary for its strict fulfillment.
In our system of government, intelli
gence must givo safety and value to
I the hnllnr. lTonnn
THE C03LMON SCHOOLS OP THE LAND
Should be preserved in all their vigor,
while in accordance with the spirit of
contitutlou, they and all their endow
ments should bo secured by every
possible and proper guaranty against
every form of sectarian influence or
control.
THE PUBLIC SERVICE.
There should be the strictest econo
my in the expenditures ofthe govern
ment consistent with its effective ad
ministration, and all unnecessary of
fices should b abolished. Offices
should be conferred upon the basis of
high character and particular fitness,
and should bo administered only as
publio trusts, and not for private ad
vantage. The foregoing are chief among
THE CARDINAL PRINCIPLES OP THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY,
And carry them into full praotical ef
fect is the work it now bason hand.
To the completion of its great mission
wo address ourselves in hope and
confidence, cheered aud stimulated
by the recollection of its past achieve
ments, remembering that, under God,
it is to that party that we are indebt
ed, iu this centennial year of our ex
istence, for a preserved, unbroken
Union ; for the fact that there is no
master or slave throughout our broad
dominions, and that emancipated
millions look upon the ensign of the
Republioas the symbol of the fulfill
ed declaration that "all men are crea
ted free and equal," and tho guaranty
of their own equality under tho law
with the most hitrhly-favored citi
zen of tho laud, to tho intelligence
and conscience of all those who de
sire good government, good will, good
money, and universal prosperity. The
Republican party, not unmindful of
imperfection and the shortcommings
of human orgauization, yet with
the honest purposes of its masses
promptly to retrieve all errors aud to
summarily pun ish all offenders against
the laws of tho country, confidently
submits its olaims for the continued
support of tho American people.
Respectfully,
Willian A. Wheeler.
A TILDES FALSEHOOD.
The way Tilden Encouraged Volunteer
ing ilorc Stories iroin Rales
& Locke.
The Democrtic papers are printing
the following paragraph :
During the war of tho rebellion
Governor Tilden armed and equipped
by money taken from hn own private
purse, four companies of Kew York
volunteer Eoldiers.
This is a lie made out of whole cloth.
Who started it is more than any one
id likely to find out, but the supposi
tion may wen be entertained that it
was put into tho possession of the
Western editor by some one of Til
den's agent. Probably it is a series of
pungent little lies that are to be cir
culated in Mr. Tilden's behalf, by
Rates & Locke, or some other adver
tising agency.
However that maybe, tho statement
is it falsehood that could not advan
tageously be circulated in this part
.of the. country. Ic was doubtless
sent westward with orders for exten
sive promulgation in obscure parts
before it could come to the knowledge
of those able to contradict it Mr. Til
den never armed and equipped a
single soldier, much less four comp
anies of volunteers, lie was never
known to do any thing to help on
the war, either by assisting the sodiers
themselves or by ministering to their
families during their absence or after
their deaths. On the contrary, he is
knowu to have refused assistance ou
many occasions. For the sake of
example, the following well-authenticated
caso may be stated : E'irly In
the war a young mau of excellent
family and superior character and
attainments was desirous of raising
a company. Ho waited upon Mr. Til
den, with whom ho had an acquain
tance, and asked him to give him a
letter of recommendation to certain
State officials.
Mr. Tilden's reply was in substance
a3 folhvs : Young man, you need not
come to me for any such letter of rec
ommendation; this war is a perfect
outrage, and I will lend no assiBtanco
whatever to its prosecution. Kcw
York Times.
The Reformers for Haves.
Tho descent of Tilden in publio es
timation from the position of a great
reformer to that of a machine politi
cian of tho worst Democratic type,
vhas been the most raoid. Even no
longer ago than upon the occasion of
the New York Conference Tilden was
regarded as a reformer. That assem
bly of supremely wiso men declared,
in substance, that platforms and par
ties were nothing, and men every
thing, and thut Tilden was one of on
ly two exceptionally good men and
great, reformers. But thoy had taken
only a superficial view of Mr. Til
den's record as a reformer. They
were blinded by Ins sham fight against
the Canal Ring, aud their vision did
not reach back to 1SGS, when Tilden
and Tweed were partners in a ballot-box-stuffing
scheme to rob General
Grant of the electoral vote of the
State of New York. Much less did
they reeall Tilden's record in 1S01,
when he joined the rebel sympathizers
in declaring the war for the Union n
failure, and in a demand that the na
tion should sue traitors in arms for a
dishonorable peace. But the facts
were brought prominently to tho rec
ollection of the public by the time
Mr. Tilden's "barrel of money" had
secured hTm tho Democratic nomina
tion ; and among all the independents
of the conference whoso lately sound
ed Tilden's praises, there is -now
scarcely one so poor as to do him rev
erence. Mr. Tilden, as a sham re
former, has been "brought to trial very
promptly upon his undisputed rec
ordand tho verdict of guilty by the
jury of conference independents is al
most unanimous. There is, however,
one independent juror whoadheres to
Tilden. Young Mr. Charles Francis
Adtmls, who declarod at tho confer-
ence that at all events the then ap
proaching campaign was not to be a
singing campaign, or a wood-chopping
campaign, or a log-cabin-nnd-hard
cider campaign, pins his faith to
Tilden aud Hendricks, for whom he
rightly assumes nobody will sing, nor
chop wood, nor shout "log-cabin and
hard cider." The fact that tho con
ference independents have gone over
to Hayes, practically, in a solid body,
after having so lately proposed to sup
port Tilden as their second choice,
cannot but be regarded as a confes
sion on their part that their first con
clusion as to Tllden's worthiness was
hasty and ill-digested. They looked
upon him as a genuine reformer then;
they now regard him as utterly un
worthy of that title. The moral of
all this Is that people Bhould beware
how they canonize a pretended re
former without a faithful examina
tion of his whole record. Inter
Ocean. LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.
Full Text of the Address of the Ration
al Liberal Republican Committee.
Their Full Indorsement of Hayes ami
Wheeler.
New York, July 20, 1S70.
To tho Liberal Republicans of the United
States.
On the 9th day of May last a meet
ing of the "National Committee of
Liberal Republicans" having been
duly called, was held at the Fifth Av
enue Hotel, in the oity of New York.
At such meeting thirty-one states
were represented. After duo discus
sions, it was unanimously resolved to
hold a national convention of Liberal
Republicans on the 26th day of July,
187(3, in the city of Philadelphia, aud
a "call forsuch convention was issued
to the public, reaffirming the platform
adopted by the Liberal Convention
held in Cincinnati in 1S72. Subse
quently to tliis action by the National
Committe, and without a dissenting
voice, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, The hopo is entertained
by many patriotic citizens that by
tneir continual agitation "within par
ty lines" one or both of tho domin
ant parties may be led, in platform
and nominees, lo grant all tiie politi
cal reformation required by the Liber
al Republican organization; and
Whereas, This Liberal Darty, de
siring only the public good, regard
less of parties, does not favor cause
Jess independent action, if it shall
certainly appear thut all which it
seeks In the way of political purifica
tion can be as well secured through
other organizations; therefore,
Jicsolved, That if. after the Repub
lican and tne Democratic Conventions
have been held in June next, one or
both of these parties shall seem In the
judgment of our Chairman, Mr.
Ethan Allen, to have responded to
the principles and aims of tho "Lib
eral Republican organization," both
in measures and men, in that event
our Chairman is hereby authorized,
after further conference with this
committee, by a proclamation to an
nul the call for n national convention
this day ordered ; but after said con
ventions, and their action boinr unfa
vorable to reform, our chairman is
empowered to take such action in fur
thering tho call for a Liberal conven
tion this day ordered as ho may deem
necessary.
The Republican and Democratic
Conventions have both been hold,
and, as commanded in the above res
olution, I have since conferred with
the members of tho National Liberal
Committee, nnd the response, which
is in entire harmony with my own
views, is almost unanimous to
annul the call for the National Con
vention above referred to, and to np
prove, in tho name of the Liberal Re
publicans of tho United States,"tho
nominations cf Rutherford B. Hayes
of Ohio, for President, and of Wil
liam A. Wheeler, of New York, for
Vice President.
It is a logical result of tho Liberal
movement that those who still adhere
to it should at this time support Hayes
and Wheeler. More decided than the
platform upon which he stands, Gen
eral Hayes has personalty declared for
civil service reform, for tho return to
specie payment at the earliest possi
ble day, and for the rule of one term
only for the Presidency, the latter
principle being found only in the Lib
eral Republican platform. The char
acters of the nominees guarantee the
principles they piofess. If the Liber
als in 1872 sustained Horace Greeley,
who was the foremost Republican of
his day, because ho was an unselfish
patriot and an honest man, they must
now sustain General nayes for the
same reason, and to do otherwise
would bo inconsistent action. Tho
opposition of the Liberals has never
been against the Republican party, of
which they formed part, but rather
against those who, unfortunately for
it antl the nation, had control of its
destiny to its discredit.
The good results whioh have been
gained by tho inauguration of the
Liberal movement of 1S72 is a matter
of congratulation. It was then that
the demands for reform against exist
ing abuses was first made, by thoso
who had before acted within the Re
publican lines. Subsequent events
have more than confirmed tho warn
ings of the Liberals then given, and
have vindicated their elforts then
made for national reform. Firmly
maintaining their ground for the past
four years, they have seen the "Inde
pendent voter" of all parties adopt
their views, and at tho eleventh hour
they have seen the Republican party,
in convention assembled, in entire
harmony with the demands of the
Liberals, disregarding tho machino
politicians, so called, place in nomin
ation men whoso great distinction is
I that they aro thoroughly honest as
well as capable. Tho conscience of
the nation, which, rising above party,
revolted against the Republican or
ganization in 1872, must now indorse
this action.
The Liberal movement will be re
membered as an evidence that, when
the hour demands it, the people are
capable of making party managers
subservient to their will. Tho pro
test, in defiance of party discipline,
originally made at Cincinnati In 1S72,
is a proof that tho citizen remains
faithful to an honest discharge of his
political duties, though party leaders
become corrupt.
It only remains for me to declare,
by virtuo of the authority given as
abovo, that the Liberal Republicans
of the United States, through their
National Committee, approvingof the
nominees of tho Republican party,
tho "call" for a "National Conven
tion of Liberal Republicans" to be
held at Philadelphia on tho 2Gth day
of July, 187G, is annulled.

Tilden and Tweed.
Samuel J. CTilden and William M.
Tweed were formerly bosom friends.
Evidence is fast accumulating that a
portion of the money stolen by Tweed
was used by Tilden and his feilow
politicians to run tho Democratic ma
chine. Tweed had special favors
shown him whilo confined on the
island. While at Ludlow street jail
he was permitted to go about the city
in charge of an officer. It will be re
membered that he escaped fiom cus
tody while at his home iu New York.
Some power from behind the throne
helped him. Circumstances point to
Tilden as that power. Certain it is as
Governor of New York he has made
no effort to discover his whereabouts.
ISot a dollar of reward has been of
fered for his capture. Even the Dem
ocratic sheriff who allowed him to es
cape still holds his position.
Tho following letters may throw a
little light on the relationship exist
ing when Tweed was in his glory be
tween himself and the present candi
date for Democratic honors on the eo
called reform ticket :
No. 15 Gramercy Park, August
12, 1S5G, 11 a. 31. My Dear Sir: 1 de
cided to go to Philadelphia in the
morning, and shall not be able to see
you before I leave. Mr. Richmond is
at the St. Nicholas, somewhat ill. If
well enough he will come on tho 2 p.
31. train. Whether he Is there to-day
or not, I hope you will not fail to be
iu Philadelphia. Very truly your
friend . S. J. Tiiden.
JLhjuWa. II. Tweed.
My Dear Sir: I beg to present to
your attention tiie ca3e of Mr. Samuel
Ailen, a very old friend of ours, who
is in gieat need of u small appoint
ment under your department, for
which bo has applied, llo would be
oontent with something for a time of
not a very high rank. You will know
him so well that I need add nothing.
He wicctto be a very efficient and use
ful worker, and is an entirely reliable
man, ants 1 .should be personally glad
if you could kelp him. Truly yours,
R. J. Tilden.

It would be well, if the friends of
Samuel, the Reformer, would rise and
explain what ho did with tho $5,000
received from Tweed. As the Demo
crats cast over $50,000 fraudulent votes
in the city of New York in tho fall of
1SGS, the receipt of this money from
Tweed, tho head of tho ricg, looks
suspicious, to say the least. Jiejntblic.
The New York Tribune publishes
the following letter from an old sub
scriber. It is as good as a slap iu the
face:
'I have been a subscriber to the Tri
bune for many years, and had a great
respect for Mr. Greeley a man fear
less In tho right, paying what he
meant and meaning what he said, and
although an opponent of General
Grant in the political field, yec as an
editor never speaking otherwise than
respectfully of him. I am truly pain
ed to see the Tribune's perpetual tir
ade against President Grant. Politic
ally it does harm to tho cause of
Hayes ond Wheeler and the Republi
can party. It does no good anyhow.
Would you quarrel with an old horse
that had long served you if he should
now and then behave unruly? As a
whole, General Graut ha3.dono re
markably well, and deserves a na
tion's gratitude, aud you should not
be too severe on some of his eccen
tricities. You seem to take a savage
delight in making tho worst of what
he does. You hurt your paper very
much by your course, whatever you
may think. It is very bad taste.'
Those cowardly Republicans who
now hasten to join in tho clamor
against Graut should reflect upon the
character of tbe company they keep.
Every ex-Confederate, every sympa
thizer with The ltfto rebellion, hates
General Grant because he was the lea
der of tho armies of the Union. It is
not on account of his civil service that
the Democratic party hates Grant, but
on account of his military career. He
whipped the rebels ; he destroyed the
Confederacy ; he made the very name
of the Democratic party a hissing and
a by-word, because that party was
deeply involved in the rebellion. It
is for these services to tho Union that
tho Democratic party detests Grant.
aiACHLNERY.
The Curse of thcFnrmer, and the Chief
Cause of Hard Times.
Editor Nebraslio. Advertiser:
Sir Tho Fourth of July has come
and gone, and we will try to give you
some account of the way wespeutthe
day here nt Howaid. To say that we
had a good celebration is not doing it
justice. Wo had a good turn out, and
all appeared to enjoy it to the fullest
extent. We had several speakers, but
Mr. Haywood was the principal ora
tor of the day, and his speech was
certainly a good one. It was an hon
or to himself and to the day. vHe has
proved to us that we have men among
us, nnd farmers, too, that read, think,
and can speak and tell what they
know. He gave us n very interesting
history of tho first discovery of Amer
ica; lie spoke of tho first pilgrims
that landed on our shore, and of their
trials and hardships; also of the old
revolutionary war, and Its exciting
scenes; ho told us how ready the
young men were at that day to march
to the battle ; ho told us about the far
seeing statesmen of that day, and of
their purchase of this Northwestern
Territory, then an unknown wilder
ness, and of busy thousands that now
occupy it. He told us about tho won
derful inventions that have been dis
covered within tho last hundred
years the telegraph, tho reaper, tho
sewing machine ; ho told us that by
tho use of the reaper we were nblo to
feed the starving millions of the east ;
that thoy were looking to us for their
daily bread. But he failed to tell us
that we have now an enemy among
us, subtle, cunning, and more surely
undermining our liberties than nil the
foreign foes that we ever had to con
tend with. Our young men would
march to tho cannon's mouth to do
fend their homes as readily now as
in '76 ; aud Mr. Haywood, something
like the tories of the old revolution,
lauded to the skies, and gave aid nnd
comfort to the worst enemy tho west
ever knew.
Before this enemy our young men
appear to be perfectly powerless ; he
has wound tho soft, silken thread
around and around them, until ho has
got them bound hand nnd foot, nnd is
carrying them away from their
homes. This enemy is the reaper and
sewing machine. He has bound them
with cords of debt, stronger than fet
ters or chains could have done it. We
think ho had better have told us of
tho thousands of dollars tho western
people have paid for sewing machines,
and then have looked aronnd upon
tbe audience, ond he could havo seen
three-fourths"lof them clothed in gar
ments made in Boston and New
York, wo think he would then havo
been better able to explain the won
derful advantngo that it has been to
the western people. They have sold
us the sewing machine, and are now
selling us our clothes ready-made. It
was stated in the papers not long since
that a single town in Massachusetts
holds over two million dollars worth
of mortgages against western farmers.
Talk about feeding the starving mil
lions of the east, when they hold two
thirds of all tho farms of the west in
their grasp ! As long as they oan sell
us tho sewing machine, and the reap
er, and our clothing ready made, and
be allowed to furnish the finery, the
feathers, and flowers, that made our
ladies look so charming as they did on
the Fourth, as long as thay can do
this, they will be contont to let us
raise their bread for them. Can it be
possible that the ladies of '7G, clothed
iu their homespun dresses, were half
as lovely ? Perhaps Mr. Haywood
will tell us about that in his next.
Machinery and finery are marching
through our land, and driving our
young men from their homes more ef
fectually than any foreign foo could
have done it. We say to our young
men, preparo to meet this enemy.
Load up your canon with the same
kind of ammunition that they have
used againstus; ship your grain down
to the east to Mr. Haywood's starving
millions, and hold it at three dollars
per bushel, selling it to them on two
years' credit, at ten percent, interest.
This is tho kind of shot they have
been firing into our ranks, and it is
scattering our young men like chaff
before the wind. The lame, the crip
ples, tho homeless children can bo
counted by the thousands! Woknow
that our situation Is not a very pleas
ant thing to think nbout, neither is
tho surgeon's knife and saw ; but if a
leg must come off, let U3 take it off.
We are told that if thine eye or right
hand offend thee, pluck it out, or cut
it off, and cast it from thee. The
sweet lullaby song has been sung long
enough to our farmers ; it is high time
they awake from their pleasant
dreams, and look stern reality in the
face. If Mr. Haywood, or any one
else, should think this a" fancy sketch
of the muddled- brain of some old fo
gy, let him go to the records of this
county, or any other county in this
State, for it is a general thing where
ever the reaper and sewing machine
has gone, and If you are sensible men
you will soon find there is danger
ahead. Where are our Grangers!
Where their boasted economy! One
thing struck us as very remarkable,
that is, that not one of our speakers
mentioned the word Grange or Gran
ger. It is possible that this fuir name
is so soon to be dropped into oblivion ?
Wo refrain from further remarks
about this. We are satisfied they feel
they have fallen among, wo will not
say thieves, but sharpers. If these
remarks are not quite so pleasant, we
hope they may prove profitable to a
jew. Fair view.
OX THE LA1VX.
Croquet, tlio Simpler the Bellcr
Priiifipal Points of the New
English Code.
Tho English croquet clubs held n
conference in January, 1S70, at which
a code of laws was adopted which aro
characterized by simplicity, good
senso and straightforwardness. Tho
rules have since been revised by tho
votes of the clubs represented in tho
conference, nnd seem worthy of uni
versal adoption. The principal points
aro as follows:
1. No Booby. Tho striker's ball,
when placed on tho starting spot and
struck;?iaat once in play and can ro
quet another or be roqueted whether
it has mado tho first hoop or not.
2. The Turn. A player, when
his turn comes, may roquet each ball
once, and may do this again after each
point Is ruade.
3. No Tight Croquet. In taking
croquet the striker is not allowed to
place his foot on tho ball. There has
been a gradual abandonment of tho
tight' or 'foot' croquet, ond n grow
ing opinion that tho 'loose or 'roquet
croquet' Is fairer and more scientific.
At first, the foot was obliged to be on
tho ball. Then, In the treatise of
Mayno Reid and tho Newport club,
tho loose croquet was nllowed to the
rover only. Afterward (Bradley's
rules) the method was optional. Now
wo have tho scientific stroko as tho
only ono admissible. All the rules
about the flinch and the rover aro now
unnecessary.
4. Croquet Imperative. A player
who roquets a ball must take croquet,
end in so doing must move both balls.
This sets at rest nil questions nbout
declining.'
5. A Ball in Hand After Ro
quet. When a ball strikes another,
it instantly becomes In hand,' and
must be taken up and plaoed beside
the roqueted ball in order to tako cro
quet. No point or roquet can bo
mado by a ball In hand. For exam
ple, if tho red ball in commencing its
turn hits the blue and rolls on through
a wicket, tho wicket is not mado, bo
causo the ball was in hand from the
moment It struck the blue. Again,
if the red should by tlio same blow
hit first tho blue and then the yellow,
he could croquet only tho blue, but
would havo the privilege of striking
at tho yellow afterward and croquet
ing it if hit. You may, thereforof
stop a ball which has roqueted auoth
or without the risk of Its owner say
ing: If you had not stopped my ball
it would have mad the wicket.'
6. Wrong Playing. Wh en a bal 1
Is plyed out of turn, or tho wrong ball
used, or a foul stroko made, the gen
eral principle that the points so mado
aro lost, and the remainder of tho
turn is forfeited and the adversary
may elect whether the balls be replac
ed or remain where they lie. But If
tho adversary plays on without claim
ing tho penalty, tho false play holds
good. Specific rules are given for the
various cases under this rule.
There aro a number of littlo special
rules In the game as usually played,
which destroy the symmetry of tho
game. It Is a mistaken idea that com
plication of rules makes it 'more in
teresting.' This is shown by the fato
of all such contrivances as the crossed
hoops in the centre, little bells on the
wickets, etc. No croquet player who
understands the game thoroughly
and can play tho 'split-shot, tho 'fol
low' and the 'hold-back,' needs auy
such aids to give interest to the game.
Tho following are some of tho usages
referred to which are omitted from
the English code :
1. Taking two shots or n mallet's
length as a reward for running two
wickets at the same blow. Tho two
wickets are, liko virtue, their own re
ward. 2. Spotting a ball which ha3 struck
tho turning stake. It should play
from where it lies like any other ball.
3. The idea that a ball must move
six inches to constitute a stroke. Who
can raeusure the distance traversed by
a rolling ball ? If it is moved at all it
is a stroke.

Gen. Washington seldom indulged
in a joke, or sarcasm, but when he
did, he always made a decided hit.
During the debate on the estab
lishment of the Federal army, a
member of Congress offered a resol
ution limiting it to three thousand
men, to which Washington suggested
an amendment providing that no
enemy shall ever invade the country
with over two thousaed soldiers. The
laughter which ensued smothered tho
rEsoIutlou.
Do Bees Make Honey 1
Sinco the declaration by Prof. Ril
ey, that bees make honey and do not
simply gather it, the subject has boea
discussed with some energy by bee
keepers, who generally hold to the op
posite view. A correspondent of tho
Scientific- American says :
'Is it not astonishing to find tho'
professors at this day stato that boea
make honey? A good common stand
of bees, having but short distance to
travel, will increase their stock of ho
ney from ono to two pounds in twelve
hours' fair work. What chance ia
there hero for n digestive process?
Place three pounds of loaf sugar sirup'
within easy reach of such a stand at 8'
p. m.; it will all be taken up and'
stored nway boforo sunrise neSt morn
ing. I once thus experimented : Af-"
ter feeding to about forty hives nine
barrels of Cuba honey, upon examin
ation I found no differenco between
that in the comb cells nnd that in tho
barrels, only tho former was clearer
from dirt. The honoy becoming ex
hausted, I then fed tho bees during
the rest ofthe fall with loaf sugar sir
up. Upon examination next spring J.
found tho comb cells filled solidly
with well-grained loaf sugar, precise
ly like that I had dissolved to feed'
the bees with. Other comb cells wore
partly filled with Cuba honey and1
partly with ground loaf sugar.'
