gtumoMtts Caught Them Foul.?Some yeare ago the pastor of a church in a rural district of Missouri shepherded a flock, somejraembew of which were in the habit of leaving the house whiie he was yet in the middle of a discourse.' This was an eyesore to the reverend incumbent, and wnen, one day, a visiting brother volunteered to preach for him, hefeltcalled upon to speak of the annoyance. / "Oh, I'll stop that!" was tWe reply, i "I'll warrant you that no one leases until Tl-X J 111 A L?J I'UlUUUei" Aouruiu^iy, wuoa 110 aivao to speak he introduced his sermon with the following i T.

The other sheriff was a Franklin countyinan, likewise small, but plucky. He wapsent to arrest a notorious offender, a 20(knounder, and found him on the hillside. yGrinning at the officer he lay back on Ine grass, saying, "If you get me you'll have to take me."

SOWING PEAS. , If the farmers of the South would universally adopt the plan of planting or sowing peas between the rows of corn a valuable subsidiary crop would result and the fertility of the soil be better maintained by the protection afforded by the vines from injurious evaporation and washing, and by the vegetable matter thus restored for the amelioration of the physical condition of the soil and amendment of the supply of plant food available for succeeding crops. If the rows are four or more feet apart, upon comparatively thin, land, the best plan is to plant a row of peas at the second plowing' between the rows. The third plowing will then cultivate both peas and com. If a running variety of peas is thus planted the vines will completely cover the ground before frost, and produce from four to eiirht bushels of peas per acre. These may either be gathered and stored for winter feeding or may be pastured by stock in the fall. In the latter case they will be the means of carrying the stock into winter quarters in fine condition if they are eaten by store stock, or those intended for slaughter may be fattened upon them. Some prefer to drop the peas either by the side of the corn at the second plowing or between the hills in the row. If the rows are sufficiently wide (and they should be upon thin uplands) it is best to plant between the rows. If the land is reasonably fertile the peas may be sown broadcast before the plows at the second plowing?one bushel per acre. In this case no farther cultivation of the corn will be necessary, since the peas wilt shade ont other vegetation except, perhaps, chicken corn. Since the corn roots occupy the land quite fully before the peas come up, they do not make rapid growth until the corn approximates maturity, when they develop rapidly and soon occupy the ground. As we cultivate, the crop of peas costs nothing except one furrow in- which to plant them -and the seed. In advance of the scraper we open a shallow furtow in the centres between the rows, drop the seed and cover with the scraper in cultivating the corn. Try a part of your corn crop, in peas^nd note the benefit to the ground as shown in the crop which follows. Montgomery (Ala.) Acherttser: The Value of Clover and how to Produce It.?My limited experience in clover errowine will hardly justify me in venturing an article on its "culture. However, as many differ as the time for seeding clover, perhaps I would not be risking too much to give ray experience in that line. My first seeding of clover when I began-its culture was on the l&b and 15th days of February ,"1872. From this'seeding I obtained a splendid stand and it did well. But for the next three consecutive seeding seasons I sowed 3} bushels of seed on same date of month as first seeding and got & good stand only to be killed out by a cold snap and freeze such as we are now having or by drought during spring, causing the little plant to perish for want of moisture. This utter failure for some time caused me to be discoufaged, and to ray 3orrow now, I. stopped the sowing of clover until the 10th day of October, 1883. [ sowed 1$ bushels of seed and got a good 3tand, which was partly killed out by the freezes of that winter; and for the last three years I have been sowing my elover from the first to the tenth of April and harrowing it in with a light two-horse harrow, the teeth set sloping back so as to prevent the dragging up of trash or dragging down if the wheat, as you will understand this seeding has ail been among my wheat and [ have yet to fail to get a stand at this late of seeding. Some may think that sowing it in wheat at so late a date would injure the wheat, but I have never yet seen that it injured mine. You ask us the value if clover and how to produce it. I give is my opinion that most of land that will jrow wheat will grow clover and you iave only to put in properly from ten to twelve pounds of seed per acre to obtain a rood stand. Land seeded to clover should lot be turned for one or two years for the growing of other crops; and as to the value >f clover I hardly know how to estimate it. t think us a feed for stock it excels that of :he oat and very nearly equals that of the iorn crop, and as to its value as a fertilizer ind renovator of the soil it has no equal jxcept that of good stable manure.?I. R. in Lincoln Journal. The Honey Bee in History.?It was osti mated over 300 years ago by DeMontbrt, who then wrote a work on bees in French, that between 500 and 600 authors had preceded him on the subject of beekeeping. Most of these books were written in Latin and are lost to the world, very few having been handed down to us. From remote antiquity the practice has prevailed in Egyptof collecting great numbers of hives in vessels on the Nile, and transporting them from pasture to pasture iccoraing to the succession of flowers in the different districts. A somewhat similar practice prevails on the Rhone iu France, and the conveying of bees fr6m place to place has been usual in Greece, Asia Minor and Persia from the earliest late. Strange to say, it is claimed that the honey-bee was not a native of the western continent. We are told that without ioubt, there were no honey-bees here until introduced by the Caucasian race. This seems the more strange, as it is said that all the continents and islands of the eastern hemisphere abound with them, [t is one more illustration of the inextriiable puzzles connected with the geographical distribution of animals. Mt. Hybla, in Sicily, on account of its great variety of odoriferous flowers and abundance of honey, has been poetically called the empire of bees, and Hymettus in Attica, is in the same way famous. The German, black or brown bee, is the variety best known, as through all the ages it has beeu most widely distributed. We find, howover, that the Italians were known both to Aristotle and Virgil, who sang of the variegated, golden bee.?Farm, Field and Stockman. Origin of the Strawberry.?Our common strawberry is one of the most widely diffused plants, partly owing to the small size of its seeds, which birds, attracted by the fleshy part in which they ire found, carry to great distances. It ijrows wild in Europe from Lapland and the Shetland Isles to the mountain ranges Df the south; in Maderia, Spain, Sicily and Greece; in Asia from Armenia and the north of Syria to Daburia. It is wild in the United States, in Iceland, in Mexico and around Quito, South America. Its habitat extends around the North Pole in temperate climes except in eastern Siberia. The Greeks and Romans did not cultivate this berry, and no one did until the fifteenth, or sixteenth century in Europe. The variety known as Virginia strawberry is indigenous in Canada and the Eastern States of this country, and is the 30urce of some of the best cultivated varieties, in its crosses with the Chili berry, rhe Virginian berry was introduced into the English gardens in 1029. The Chili strawberry was brought into France in 1715, and after cultivation in the Museum of Natural History, it spread to England and elsewhere.?Good Housekeeping. In June grass is more nutritious and usually more flush than later in the season. July and August are the most trying months, especially if the weather is sultry and dry. The milk gets scanty and bad, and some farmers wonder what is the matter with the cows. In such cases the water usually becomes unwholesome, shade trees are lacking in the pasture, and the cows are compelled to take too much exercise by continually roaming in search of errass. Sheep Raising.?In 1881, Mr. T. l. Johnston bought four sheep for six dollars. He now has twenty sheep valued at forty dollars, and has sold one hundred and forty-four dollars' worth of wool and mutton. This does not include the sales for this year. Mr. Johnston estimates that his sheep have cost him nothing, the fertilizers obtained from them equalizing the cost of their maintenance. This beats cotton.?

The New York Tribune of last Thursday published the following letter from Mr. Blaine, dated Paris, May 17: "Whitelaw Reed, Editor New York Tribune?My Dear Sir: Since, ray return to Paris from Southern Italy, on the 8th instant, I have learned (what I did not before believe) that my name may yet be presented to the National Convention as a candidate for the Presidential nomination of the Republican party. A single phrase of my letter of January 25, from Florence, (which was decisive of everything I had nnrnfl. tn H fifM H Cl\ hoQ hPPfl me puiouuai pvnci iv v*w?uv/ <?v?u treated by many of ray most valued friends as not absolutely conclusive in ultimate and possible contingencies. On the other hand, friends equally devoted and disinterested, have construed my letter (as it should be construed) to be an unconditional withholding of my name from the National Convention. They have, in consequence, given their support to eminent gentlemen who are candidates for the Chicago nomination, some of whom would not, I am sure, have consented to assume that position if I had desired to represent the party in the Presidential contest of 1888. If I should now, by speech or by silence, by commission or omission, permit my name in any event to come before the Convention, I should incur the reproach of being uncandid with those who have always been candid with me. I speak, therefore, because I am not willing to remain in a doubtful attitude. I am not willing to be the cause of misleading a single man among the million who have given me their suffrages and their confidence. I am not willing that even one of my faithful supporters in the past should think me capable of faltering in a double sense with my word. Assuming that the Presidential nomination could, by any possible chance, be offered to me, I could not accept it without leaving on the minds of thousands of those men the impression that I had not been from indirection; therefore I could not accept it at all. The misrepresentations of malice have no weight, but the just displeasure of friends I could not patiently endure. Republican victory, the prospects of which grow Drignter every aay, can De imperueu. umy by alack of unity in council or by acrimonious contest over men. The issue of protection is incalculably stronger and greater than any man, for it'concerns the prosperity of the present and of generations yet to come. Were it possible for every voter of the Republic to see for himself the condition and recompense of labor in Europe, the party of free trade in the United States would not receive the support of one wage worker between the two oceans. It may not be directly in our power as philanthropists to elevate the European laborer, but it will be a lasting stigma upon our statesmanship if we permit the American laborer to be forced down to the Europeal level, and in the end the reward of labor everywhere will be advanced, if we steadily refuse to lower the standard at home. Yours very sincerely, James Gr. Blaine. Simultaneous with the appearance of this letter in the Cincinnati Gazette, is the following dispatch from Mr. Reid, in answer to the question, "\Vould Blaine accept the nomination ?" "That's too hard a question. I can tell you this, he certainly would not accept a nominatiqathftt was fought for. It nju^t come spontaheodsiy, unsought-and unanimous, or I am sure he would not take it. He does not want it. He might not take it under any circumstances. He certainly would not take it unless the overwhelming desire for his candidacy should be so manifest that be was no.minated without opposition in the convention or heart burnings among friends of other candidates." (. "This remark," says the Gazette editorially, "coming from one so close to Mr. Blaine as Mr. Reid^is of unusual significance." 1 HIS EYES ARE OPENED. T. Thomas Fortune, who is recognized as one of the foremost and best representatives of the colored people in America, and is well-known as the editor of the Freeman, of New York, has written a letter on "Colored voters and Democracy," which is published in the New York Su.nt and i9 calculated to attract attention just at this time. The conclusion of the letter shows it general drift and is as follows: "The Republican leaders have admitted time and again within the past decade that there is no power in the Federal Government to correct the conceded irregularities of the suffrage in the South, each State being sovereign in shaping its internal policy. Now, this is the 9traw that breaks the camel's back, as far as intelligent colored voters are concerned. If there is no authority in the Constitution to enable the Republican party to correct the irregularities of the suffrage in the South, and I don't think there is, what special argument can be advanced to induce colored men to support that party that will not equally apply to Irish, German, or other classes of voters? Perhaps Mr. Ingalls has an answer ready, or Mr. Whitelaw lteid or Mr. Charles Emory Smith. If the question of race rights be taken out of the Republican platform ; or, if it remain there as a glittering generality, why should I or any other intelligent colored citizen continue to hurrah for the Republican party and vote for its candidates? If the questions of the tariff, of surplus reduction, and reform of the civil service are to be the leading issues of the impending contest, why should not I and other intelligent colored voters cooperate with the Democratic party, if its attitude upon these questions more nearly conforms to our honest convictions than the attitude of the Republican party? This is the reductio ad absurdum of the whole matter. That government is best which governs least, which is not a leading principle of Republican party policy. I don't think, furthermore, that the Republican party is big enough to hold all the colored voters in the country, any more than is the Democratic party. During the past eight years I have sustained this position as an editor, lecturer and journalist of fortune. I am convinced that a respectable number of intelligent colored men can effect more good inside the Democrat ic party than has been effected by millions of them inside the Republican party since 1876, pulling chestnuts out of the fire for politicians to stimulate an interest they do not feel, and I am going to put the matter to the test. I am not alone in the position I now take. There are plenty of us who are gratified at the patriotic policy of President Cleveland and the Democrats in Congress since 1884 in matters affecting colored citizens, and who will do all we can to elect the nominees of the St. Louis Convention, whoever they be." . The Prohibition Convention.?It is right and proper for a self-constituted convention, mostly from Columbia, to meet at anytime and pass any sort of resolutions they please; that is to say there is no law against it. Next week the Republican party might call a similar convention, and the women might also meet. But for forty men, a great portion of them from Columbia, to call themselves together and pretend to be a representative body for the whole State and then seriously to go to work and dictate a policy for the temperance people of the State would really seem a little presumptuous. Then when they rule out from this great moral reform all women, negroes, white Republicans and young men under twenty-one years old, their action savors of a degree of ab- | surdity that is well pleasing to those who | oppose temperance. If the whisky men of Columbia had been requested to draw up a nlnt.fnrm for thntnrnhihitinn convention they couid not have possibly constructed one that would have better promoted the whisky interest. It is well known that political parties have no use for temperance except as a means of catching votes. Why this self-appointed convention should have thrown itself into the arms of a political party is inconceivable. What they expect to accomplish is beyond the comprehension of temperance people, politicians or whisky men in this country. We have failed to find a single advocate of temperance who endorses the action of that convention and speaking for them, we enter a protest agaiDst the whole affair. Spartanburg Spartan.
