Washington, October 20.—The retarn
of the President and membbn of the
Cabinet from their summer vacations has
been followed by a lively gathering of
Senators, Representatives, politicians,
candidates in search o? patronage gpd as
pirants in search of ofilc*». The civil
service statutes have relieved the pres
sore for the places within the range of
the classified service. The rank and file
of the old-time office-seekers in search of
~ clerkships, therefore, are no longer the
plague of official life. The returning
officials anth politicians are making quite
a stir in political cirelea They all have
much to say concerning the plans and
prospects of parties, having taken ad
vantage of .their recent opportunities. to
meet the leaders and mingling with the
people.
Ine Republican* appear to be most
active in speculating upon their future
movements. The number and variety
of the aspirants for national honors
about a year and a half hence prevented
' an open field for half a dozen statesmen
and their friends. The Democrats have
not quite so much to aay, ss their choice
from present appearances will settle

Qcnefal Logan is expected here early
next month. His champions claim that
his Pacific slope trip has added much
.strength to his position as a candidate.
His action on the Paine investigation is
c aimed to have lost him friends in his
party in Ohio. It is not likely, however,
that he would pick up any delegates
there, as Blaine and Sherman cover that
ground. There is much talk of Poraker
as a possible dark horse in event of an Ahipail
irreconcilable contest between Rhine and
Sherman. The status of Edmunds is a
matter of speculation. The chknoes ot
Harrison, of Indiana, are oonpled with
the result of his present Senatorial con
test. —
Summing up the situation at this early
point of ooservation the sentiment of
Republicans isvery generally in favor of
a Western man at the head of the ticket
with an Eastern man, some 'strong per
son from New. York, for the second
place. Judging-from the talk of politi
cians on both sides the meeting of Con
gress will witness the laving of the with
lor the picking up of delegates by the
different aspirants for nomination, so as
to enter the convention with as good a
showing as possible. From present in
dications Blaine’s friends will control
the convention to a greater extent than
any one candidate, bat whether he can
control it as against the field may be
considered doubtful, alter the experience
of the mismanaged interests of the can
didates in the field in 1884.

Even our Residents have poor luck
with their nJ&iages. Washington mar

John Adapt had a daughter named

n&med Smith. In taking

Adams ucurred many enmities.
The l&iies may be further interested
in the sibjeet of the marriages of im
portant people. Mr. Jefferson had very
mtercstiig daughters, and they ntarried
Virginia poiiticiana around him, to very
little saisfaction in a^ least one ease.
Maria, bo beak loottig of these girls,
died in 1804. Her husband bad bee^ a
sporting man and horseman, and it ap
pears tlat both the sons-in-law of Jefter-
son required endorsements, etc., which
broitgkt the old man’s gray hairs down
to menlicancy, in addition to his own
finanoal errors.
Aaren Burr, on the other hand, had
one dmghter, and she made a brilliant
marruge, but it was her father who in-
volvether and her husband in his nn-
scrupnlous financial and political tricks,
ruined her husband, and when she em-

child to seek her father,* she met some-

It is a legend that pirates took the vessel
and made this brilliant young woman
and her child walk the plank. No evi

The hlrdier small grains, such as rye
and barley, may be sown during this and
the next month. They are valuable as
soiling crops in early spring; barley
richer and more relished by stock, rye
hardier and better adapted to poor land.
Where there is more rye than can be fed
in its green state, it is out and cured as
hay, provided it is out before the heads
are out. It becomes woody and hard
soon after the heada form, and is then of
little value. Barley may be allowed to
ripen, and be harvested and fed like
oats. There ias general impression that
the beard is in the way of doing this,
bnt a gentleman recently informed us
that he nas fed barley in the aheaf to his
hones for twenty years without injury;
that sometimes the beards collect be
tween the lips and jaws, bnt are easily
removed by the finger, and the animal
suffers no special inconvenience. We
are also reliably informed that unthreaL-
ed barley is quite commonly fed to
hones in Caliiornia. Where one
pretty good land, therefore, barley might
be sown aa a substitute for fall oats, in
localities where the latter is very liable
to be winter killed.
Bnt our special object in calling atten
tion to these crops is to present their
claims as means for preserving the fer
tility of soils. In the first place, a very
large portion of our lands are left bare
through the winter, with nothing to pro
tect them from being washed away by
the heavy nuns of that season. A grow
ing crop, especially one with numerous
roots, tends to hold the soil firmly. For
this reaeon alone, were there no other, it
would pay a farmer to sow from a half
brefcal to three peeks of rye per acre in
hie cotton fields at the lari nlouKaing of
crop. The rye, after having done
work of holding the soil, might be

State Conventions of Ohio, Indiana,

those who did not express their views,

the whole number of delegates attending
those conventions. Out of about 8,000
only 456 expressed themselves. It is

the drift of public sentiment. An inti
