' Mr. Ilarr eon nppeara to 'have been
brought to a realizing eeuBe'of hia
hituatiou by the epcech ot Senator
Teller, of Colorado, charging him with
using hi vfficlal influence lo control
the votes of the Representatives and
Senators on the sfTver , question, nnit
with being allied with tbe money bage
of Wall street against the inUrtsla of
the people, tor aince. that rpeecb was
delivered he ha& stated positively-that

shortly take occatioa io elate formally
that be would uot be a candidate for a
second term. , . ' , , 1
; Thie deciFionwas tint, however,' al
together due to . Mr. TtJlerfa speech.
Tbe fact that he cannot possilily' be
elected if he fa noinijiated . has been
thrust' upon Mr. : Hurriaorl frem all
quarters recently, and be has. at last
realised that U is trua. , Pla't and
Warper, Miller both agree that he can
not carry New York,. Quay and Came
ron admit that liia nomination would
make rennsylvacla douhtful'; Indiana
republicans'' say he - would have no
chance of carrying "hi 'own State ;
uaeu who knov have told him that it
wasdoubtlul whether be could carry a
single o.ne of the Pacific States", and all
republicans expect to lose several of
the northwestern Slates. Is ' it any
wonder ttat v it h this outlook he, be
me discouraged, nnd concluded to
withdraw while he could do so with

' Mr. Harrison did not return Irom bit

is so great that he expeotcd to have
secured pledges of support from the

do so- made' his disappointment cor
recponili'igly great; Tb'n fact was
commented -ou Here that ou the day he
was in the Metropolis the republican
dailies of that city; as if by agreement,
were full of talk about the probability
of Blaine alter all becoming the candi
date.. Mr. Harrison must have regard
ed this as significant ; it wits ceriaiuly
so regarded here. i. Whatever the out

Cuit Clover Hay.
Tho tlilc-k steins of a rank growth of
clover make it hard to 'curt by the
ordinary means oi ixposure lo. the
nun". Long bef re: theto atems' are
dried through, tho lender, lliin leaves
will bs ehrivelled up and broken 'off.
This necessitates miring olover by heat
ing, nud with as little atirriug as pos
sible, and that only when freshly cut.
. The best way U to follow Ihe mower
with the hay tedder ', without the
least Interruption, and I lieu while only
the leaves have dried, ruke the clover
ajd put it in cock. It may seem dry
because the leaves will rustle, . but
leave it twenty-four liouft, or if need
bo, thirty six cr forty-eight. Then
open nnd it will be found inoUt inside.
The moisture his come from Iheslems,
and when Ibis hns dried off tLe buy
will be cured aufQoieutly to go into tbe
barn or slack. The - slight beating
which hay.tbus gets not only dues not
injure it, but really ' makes it more
paiutiille to stock. ' "; ; ; : '

' This year of all others In the West

early..- Bo sure to cut it before, the
feed is formed. There Is a' lliys'olog
Ical law jn tbistUat will help tho far
mer if he is wine enough to kuow it.
Clover is a bleunial one of those
plants that commences to dio who, 11 it
baa onco produced seed.. Here Is the
point : By cutting beforo the seed,
forms you can cut two : crops Iu one
season and still kctp the root alive. At
Huft ft will Hot die because Ils purpose
has been fulfilled.: This year we shall
need all tho hay we can get. ' Skillful
management of our clover meadows
will give 114 a hire additional yield of
liny aud have ibe roots right for the
next season. That wise farmer the
lute Uirntn Smith, once showed u av
field of medium clover nino years old
from wbicli he hud taken- thut yeur
fully three tons per acre in ' threo cut
lings... But there is another gre.it nd
vantage In rnrly culling. -The liay for
milk and butler purposes is woilh
dottb'e that of the ordinary grade. '
Now U the lime according lo Ilotird'a
Dairyman,' which gives the foregoing
advice, lb make a luUlnke that will oc
cupy us a ' whole year in mourning
about. Cut the jtover before It seeds.
Culil no crops. Get more hay per acre.
Get bay worlji twice as much as tbe
ordinary kind, ; Preserve your clover
meadow for ti.e next year. Ouo great
reason clover meadows ; kill ' out In

.' An Appeal to the Ilnmane.
The Xorth Carolina Society for Ihe
prevention of Cruelty 10 animals ap
peals lo all humane people in the S'ate
lor their support anil assistance, Tbir
society was organized two years aga
under a legislative charter,, with au
thority ."to establish and - locate
branches at any place or places Within
tbe boundaries cf the State." At the
lime of its organization it received s '
donation of fivo hundred dollar from
a non-resident of Ihe Stale, who baa
recently, Unsolicited, tent another
dountlou of fifty dollars, with an ex
pression cf gratification at Ihe success- "
f il work of ihe Society thus far. This
work ha been hitherto almost wholly
routined lo Aaheville and Its vicinity,
hut the Society has from the beginning
looked forward to the time when it
could extend its work Ihrouhgout the
State, according to tbe provisions of its
charter.
Il believes that a systematic effort In
that end c ught now to be made. To
make Ihe effort successful it is ah
solutely necessary Ihnt evary friend ef ;
the cause should lend the Society A
helping hand , first, by financial anp 1
port, at leapt to Ihe extent of tbe cost
of an annual membership, which : la at
present only one dollar, and second,
by active assistance in executing Ibe
plan of extension adopted by the
Board of Manufacturer, Walter S.
Cushman, of Ashevi.le. "Membership'
tees should also be sent to him ana
will be duly acknowledged, , .
