FRIDAY, JAN. 25, l84.
AN ILLVSTATION.
FARM AND
fCaanaaaieatoa.
At s fashionable eastern watering
place, last summer, a young girl stole
from a lady bather a diamond ring
valued at $500, and being suspected
and fearing a search would be made,
she swallowed it to conceal the theft.
She was arretted and taken to jail, and
from there to a hospital. The loser
ef the ring, ignoring the uncertain and
unsatisfactory process of the law, de
termined irpon the practical method of
recovering the property by following
the girl to a hospital and there watch
ing and waiting developments. At last
accounts there was ahopeful prospect
that in due course of time the jewel so
rich and beautiful would be regained.
For the purpose, however, of using
the above incident as an illustration
we shall leave the lady watching for
her jewel, and let an anxious publii
draw upon its imagination lor proba
bilities and results.
The incident is suggestive of the con
dition of the Bourbon Democracy
About twenty-four years ago it lost it-
only jewel. It was stolen and swal
lowed by a dark browed female knowx j
as Miss Secessia. The damsel was cap
tured and sent up. Ever since, the
Democracy have been watching and
waiting, after the fashion of the prac
tical eastern lady,' first at one point
and then another for the reappear
ance of the Democratic diadem.
Stomach pumps and cathartics have
been alterwtely resorted to, to hasten
results, but without success. Eight
years ago, the Sage of Grammercy
Park thought a production of the lost
jewel was to be effected, but alas ! the
old man was rewarded with nothing
more substantial than emanation
which "escaped his ears, but hit his
nose." Year after year, with patience
and assiduity does the Democracy keep
up its policy of waiting and watching
at the mouth of the abyss, where so
long ago ita fortunes were hopelessly
awallowed up. Year after year it ral
lies ita devoted legions with the battle
ery of 4it must come some time."
Yea after year, actuated by a blind
faith in the "traditions of the party" it
returns to ita roc due work of watching
and waiting. Ii persistently refuses
to look in any other direction for suc
cess. In vain fortune points her fin
ger toward some new light In vain
the Star of Bethelhem arises above the
morning horizon. In the meantime
the Republican party springs into ex
istence, rises to its noonday height of
glory ; there it stands, and will remain
until time's immortal coil has un
wound many a future generation.
Democratic life is something like a
smouldering forest fire ; it is covered
with aehes, and as a fresh breeze fans
the coals it shoots up into brightness
only to sink lower than before when
the wind gives out Democracy's
platform is not an ideal; it may ap
ear to some as perfect, but if you will
take time to look below the planks,
you will find the timber decayed and
the foundation crumbling away. In
the past twenty-four years the Democ
racy have only in one instance placed
before its constituents, as an intended
leader, a man devoid of corruption, a
man who would not violate his oath to
office, and that man of truth and in
tegrity, a jewel without a flaw, was
'Hancock. With that one exception
they have got to look back over what
seems to be a century.beyond the "days
when that "Son of Belial" Buchanan,
brought guilt, shame and destruction
to the Democracy : a scar which time
will not efface; a flaw which polish
will, not remove. But for the next
generation, at least till death shall
have claimed the Tildens, the Bayards,
the Butlers, and other stalwarts of that
stamp and stripe, we may expect to see
the Bourbon Democracy still waiting
and watching at the annular exit of
the dead past for the lost diadem of
succes. Yours with respect,
A. J. Tomlinsok.

Poisonous washes applied to the
foliage of trees, vines, etc., are of bo
avail against those insects which suck
the juices of plants instead of eating
the leaves of bads.
The soil has much to do in affect
ing the shading and color of poultry,
and it is a point that is seldom taken
into careful consideration, though its
importance is conceded by few.

serve as soon as baked. N. T. Times,
When thistles appear in oats their
tops may be worn off a week or two
before the data shoot up into heading.
At this time the thistles are several
inches higher than the oat leaves. If
cut then, blossoming and seeding are
aot onlv prevented, but the short Htubs
of thistles fall out of the bundles in
Binding: and leave the straw clean.

It is said that weeds may be de
stroyed for years by copious watering
with a solution of lime and sulphur in
boiling hot water. This, if effectual,
will be highly important to such as
have garden gravel walks, pavements,1,
etc., through which grass ana weed
grow up.
An excellent pudding is Bade of
tart apples stewed, and then put in
layers with 'fine cracker or oread
crumbs. While the apples are still hot
stir sugar and a little butter in with
them. This should be baked for hall
an hour. A little sweet cream Is s
great addition, but it is good without,
any sauce. N. Y. Post.
As windgalls are of frequent occur
rence and often seem a bugbear in the
eyes of some, we give the following
from the Veterinary Journal, which is
Sood authority on the treatment of the
liferent diseases of horses. It says:
"Windgalls may be removed by a
strong decoction of white oak bark and
alum. They may be reduced by blis
tering, from subsequent contraction of
the skin. As they appear on colts and
do no injury unless attended with in
flammation, it might probably be policy
to let them alone.
A writer in the Springfield (Mass.)
Bepublican has found: during long ex
perience a small chain tether, twenty to
twenty-five feet in length, every way
preferable to rope: "One end is toggled
around the neck of the animal ana the
other, with a ring in it, is pinned to
the ground with a short, sharp, pointed
flat-headed iron bar. The chain should
have a swivel and two or three heavy
links about two feet from the neck end,
in order to keep the animal from snarl
ing up. The chain grows brighter with
use and will last for years, rain or
shine."

In a favorable season, with proper
culture and good seed, the onion crop
will mature evenly and the time of har
vest be indicated by the dropping over
of the greater part or all of the tops.
As soon as the crop is ready to harvest
it is best to null at once, for the onions
will be brighter and keep better than if
permitted to remain in the ground after
they have attained their growth and the
tops have lost their lively green color.
Under adverse circumstances onions
sometimes incline to run to scallions
and many of the tops refuse to drop
down and dry up. A common practice,
when this state of affairs exists, is to
roll an empty barrel over the bed, to
break the tops down a few days previ
ous to pulling the crop.
When the maim crop is ripe harvest
it and sort out what is unfit for market
or table use. Pull the onions by band
or rake them out with an ordinary hand
rake. One mode is to throw them into
heaps containing two or three bushels,
there to remain until the tops are cured
and the bulbs ace hard and solid. If a
raim occurs, these heaps must be opened
on a fair day and repfled, so as to rid
them of the moisture that would other
wise blacken and iaiere the onions.
The usual plan is to cart the crop
away when the tops have become
thoroughly dry and store in some cool,
dry place whore there is a free circula
tion of air. J There are cultivators,
however, wb leave the oaions in the
Said after imping until freesmg weather
r until te are sold, believing that
early housiBg induces sweating and
sprouting.
The tops ought not to be removed
until they are dead throughout their
entire length. Mpy farmers delay
topping their oniotp until they are
marketed. When Ike onions are to be
kept through the winter it is-advisable to
store that crop where the frost will not
affect it and where no loss will be sus
tained from heating or growing. The
cellar is not a good place unless it
chances to be a dry, ceol erne. A lattice-work
bin affords an admirable
storage, provided it is raised a little
from the floor in some well-ventilated
building. Onions receive little or no
injury from freezing, provided always
they are thawed out gradually, but as
this cannot be insured the safe plan is
to protect them. When, freezing weather
approaches some fanners spread a layer
of straw about twelve inches deep up
ob the barn or garret toor; on this they
Elsce a layer of oaions, say ive or six
iches deep, and cover wait a layer of
straw about two feet deep, held in
place by boards or rails.
If by any ohanee oaioae become
frosen they should remain undisturbed
and covered until thawed. N. Y.

A fractious horse at Butte, M. T.,
while being ridden by Under Sheriff
Bodley, a short time ago, took the bit
between his teeth and charged up a
flight of stairs. No harm resulted, but
in order to get the animal down again
it became necessary to build splatters,
bind his feet and place him e it and
taea slide the whole outfit down to
gether. m m
