Knsilage secures success in stock raising. Hnt it would not be wise to rest content with that. The highest wisdom in such matters is to turn everything to account to make use of everything that can ' promote the end in view. There is no one who is insensible to the charm of a oountry covered with rich verdure. Apart lrom its beauty, which all cati admire, it . denote that the land is in a high state ol" improvement, and is sug- i geative ot wealth and progress. It j becomes ot the highest importance when we recollect that the cereals : form a part only of the food of mam ' but the grasses are the subsistence of animals which contribute so much to his nutrumnt. Within the last few vears the advance in the cultivation of our staple crops has !een most notable, (jorn, wheat, tobacco and cotton all boar witness to the inu.rove- ment Hut the advance in our live stock has borne no proportion to the improvement in our crops. The qaan tit v of improved neat rattle registered introduced into a few counties has lie en very gratifying: still ih the vast majority of our counties the movement has not be gun. It is true that in certain dis tricts of the. State improved breeds were brought in long-ago, and have been kept with oare. In these dis tricts the herdf are flue marks of some of tho most esteemed breeds of a tormer day can be readily traced. Traces of tho Ayrshire j breed can be found in t-he northern i counties of the 'State, ot the Put- I ham in the central counties, and of; other breed in yet other apccions. In many instances these have mi-; dergone bnt slight changes com paratively, notwithstandiaiK the tune which has elapsed sineethey were brought in. aud tho inter' breeding, to a greater oi less ex tent, with other cattle which has ovurred.

The grasses torm the natural provision for animal life: et these have here received but little atten tion. Iu the course of husbandry these are hardly counted. What puts up spontaneously is fed off without regard to times, seasons, or the growth of the plant, and without regard to the number of cattle kept on the field or lot. Often times tho seed are not permitted to mature. They flourish for a short period and then disappear from the land, giving place to worthless weed.-.. In this state of things ; in capacity of the hind to maintain cattle diminishes year by year. It is hastening to the condition oi barrenness, so expressively termed tlie n.i ti, It- of the countr .

Among these t he experiments of the )uke of Hedlord, at Woburn, have always been deemed most satisfactory. . Plots of ground, each containing four square feet, were enclosed by boards in sneh manner that there could Im no lateral communication between the roots of the plants en- i closed in the lxxes. The gTassee were either planted or sown, and their produce cut and collected, and dried at proper seasons ir. summer ami lall. The experiments were e-.iidueted with great address and intelligence under a skillful super intendent. The grasses were then subjected to au analysis sufficiently accurate lor the purposes of agri cultural investigation. Some ol the deductions of the superintend ent have been dissented from in a few instances, but all have ac knowledged the alue of the experi ments and tiiev are universally re- . ieO NT' on. KS: I'KItENS t A L ' .KASSK.S. regarded as an estab i t iuav bi lished point that the grasses select ed for cultivation should be eren mai. not annual. The annual plant tlowers in the first year, and dies, root and all. after ripening its seed. It lot.s covered by such plants are grazed beiore the seeds mature, the plant is not only destroyed, but ex terminated. Nothing is left to con tinue their growth. This accounts for the barenness of our fields where cattle range at will. Perennial plants live and blos som year after year, but die down to the ground, or near it, annually, - not , however, quite down to the root, for a portion of the stem, with its buds, still survives; and from these buds tho ahoota of the following year arise. The field is thus clothed from year to year. Another point of importance iu the culture of grasses is Ujat differ ent sorts be mixed together. The farmer w ho sows his field, with tme kind only limit himself to the use of his field when that grass is in season, when on the other hand he sows a v ariety, differing in their habits ol growth and periods of luxuriance, he has made provision for the use of it during the year, Some species putting forth their foliage, and reaching their maxi mum of produce at different periods from other kinds, a constant suc cession ol fresh herbage is secured. KINDS' AND ANTITIK3 FEE ACRE. A distinguished authority recom mends the following as embracing the bet-t kinds and proper propor tions of seeds per acre when the land is laid down to grass: Red clorer, eight pounds: Timothy, two ecks; Kentucky blue grass, Aye pounds: white clover, 6ix pounds; Orchard grass, two pecks: aud rye grass, two pecks. This is for a field intended to remain four or rive years in grass. In the foregoing list clover is comprehended among the grasses. This is done m compliance with the popular understanding. Botani cally, it has no title to be so ranked, belonging to quite a different family. Hut being eonsidered here with reference to hay and pasture products no confusion can result. The above selection sound principles. All niaL By the various on in such manner as ia made ri are peren kinds come to keep the land covered with herbage. Its abundant produce, its destruction of annual weeds, which it smothers by its broad foliage, and especially the luxuriance of the wheat sown after it, clover is entitled to the first place. Timothy grows both ou dry and moist soils. The Woburn experiments present this grass as one of the most prolific for hay. Among the comparative merits of this grass may be reck oned the abundance of fine foliage that it produces early in spring. Blue grass is deemed the most val uable of all the grasses. Animals leeding on it without grain, keep better and become latter than on any other treatment. It flourishes best on calcareous soils. White clover grows rapidly and forms ex cellent pasture: but Us bulk is not suflu lent to make it profitable to mow for hay. It is excellent for sheep. Tho pasturage which or chard grass icocksfoot) affords is excellent. It is among the grasses that grow well in winter. If suf fered to grow too toll, it is very coarse; but led close, it is a very valuable pasture. Kye grass is by some considered as coaive; but, as ha Ikou said, -'after all the ex periments made on the other grasses, none have been found to equal it for a course ol mowing and pasturing for two, three, or seven e.us." Yon Thayer the great (lerniaii agriculturist, has re marked, though some have tried otln i species both in this country am rli l n 1 e Kngland, they r e have in the grass. 77r turned to His Annnnl Habit A lolon-d man on whoso head tin- -iiows of many winters have I. .lien, invested a cptarter m a watermelon at the t'lty Hall Mar ket yesterday and earned it across the street to a shady spot.

I know that Major Latham, ever since I have known him, from his boyhood up. or from his early manhood, haa been a true, tried and consistant Democrat. Applause. j Iihr't believe that there is any man in tie ;rst district of North Carolina who cau v in hia heart that he in a true, tried itu.i eonFistant Demo crat, that will refuse to supports Demo crat because he dared to ditTer with him. Applause. 1 I know that Maj. Latham prefers thp principles and tra ditions of the Democratic party. Ap plause .1 I know that every true Demo crat who receives with Ins traditions the love for the constitution, wishes to see the constitution strictly observed. I know that it is necessary to have a Democratic government in order to have thatconstitution strictly construed, and when we have a Democratic Sen- j ate, a Democratic Supreme Court and a Democratic Congress we will taie that 1 time-honored instrument from the mud ; in which the Republican party has , trampled it so long and roll it Tip as a 1 chart to guide us in the future govern- j ment of this country. Applause. Fellow citizens, it is necessary that ; we should elect a Democrat from this I district, because all over this govern- ' ment the Republican partv has been i marshaling their hosts aud preparing to do battle in November that they may come into the next CongTB8H w"ith a Republican majority, and if they wrest the government this time from onr hands long will be the day before we can recover it again. That being the case, every man who is a trne Demo crat, every man who is in favor of the constitution, every man who desires to see the Democratic party prosper must sink his prejudices. 'Applause. Now, fellow citizens, we have a Dem ocratic President and a Democratic House, but we haven't a Democratic j Senate. We are partially Democratic but if we can keep this Democratic : government for a few more years we ; can have a whole Democratic govern- ! ment. I wish I had time to tell you what we j oan do and I wisli 1 could uuk to you about Orover Cleveland and the fulfil ment ef his promises and tell you where I think he has fulfilled them and where he, has not. I will say but one word, that so far as Groyer Cleveland is con cerned in relation to Civil Service Re form, I think he will be taught better. I know that no Democratic efforts are possible to carry ou a Democratic gov ernment with Republican officials. What would you think of a ganeraL who, after he had captured a town, go to sleep and leave around the town the same guards that he found there. These are not only my ideas upon Civil 8ervice Reform but these are the ideas of a large majority of true Democrats all over this country. I ask you here if there is any man in this district who has said that because he was supporting me he would not support Major Latham, if there is, I ask him to take it back. I Applause. If you work, fellow citizens, with the same zeal that you did for the nomina tion of George Brown. Jim Edwin Moore. Major Latham and myself I know that you will succeed. Ap plause.;,1;.

The superin tendent of the establishment said that when the men went out some work was left unfinished and rather than have the meat spoiled the old hands were taken. The men claim that the basis of the settlement was an agreement of the firm not to ship any more beef over the Lake Shore road. The Strike in Augusta. ArufSTA. Cia.. August is. The strike is on again. A hitch in negotia tions resulted in the breaking up of the peace propositions and in reinstating the strike. The hitch is as to who are in cluded in the pay-roll. Secretary Tur ner understood the superintendent, president, etc.. to be on the pay-roll, but the books of the companies show differently Turner withdraws his proposition and orders his Knights not to go to work. The mill men are willing to 8ti;k to the proposi tion accepted yesterday. are willing to leave everything to the arbitration provided for in tho proposition, but decline to have the clause of the proposition relative to the pay-roll stricken out. Turner is satis fied that any arbitration committee would decide that the officers named do not corae within the meaning of th? pay-roll clause of the proposition. Thf refore having failed in his purpose, through u misunderstanding, he with draws the proposition made by yirtue of such misunderstanding, orders the Knights not to report for duty and de clares the strike still on. The Surplus Resolution. WahinoToN, Aug. i1',. When Con gress adjourned there wrre ten acts that hud passed both Houses, but re mained unsigred by the President, and accordingly failed to become laws. Among them was the Morrison surplus reduction resolution and a bill for the erection of a public building at An napolis. The others were private pen sion bills and claims for relief. The President today gave out for publica tion a iuemuranduru giving his reasons for pocketing these bills. Tins is an unprecedented proceeding on the part of a President and .piite characteristic of tr. Cleveland. The memoranda are written in the - line style as his vetoes were. and. m I act.

Large numbers of farmers in Wigcon sin have sulTered heavy losses from tires sweeping through wide sections of territory, devastating all manner of crops and big bodies of timber. There is no doubt but that Uanlan and Courtney will row on the 28th inst. It is claimed that Courtney has never made an honest row with champion. Hanlan says Courtney never fails to fel a little unweH just before a race: that as an excuse, in case he gets bteat.which is tho usual result. Chauncey F.

They will go to Paso del Norte to inter view Cutting, who Js in prison there, and the Mexican officials.

C, in a recent lecture at Chautauqua, N. Y., on "The Identity of the Anglo Saxon Race with the Lost Tribes of Israel, says: The English-speaking race was increasing with great rapidity. Besides being the greatest inventors and producers of the world, tbey had had built its steamships and railways. Half the trade of the world is carried in British vessels, whilo tho United States have nearlv half the railway. CLIPPINGS. Eight of tho original thirteeu of the Emerson family of Bucksport, Me., are living, and their combined ages are 807 years. William Gorham and his hired man, who were looking out of a barn window near St. Charlea, 111., during & thunder storm, were both killed by lightning. Thirty-eight two-norse and thirty-five one-horse carriages followed the re mains of a two-year-old child, to the Catholic cemetery of Wilkesbarre on Sunday last. A Hartford baby that died' the other day weighed less than three pounds, but its litttle body was placed in a burial. casket and carried to the graye in a little white hearse. A Naugatuck man saw something green in a cake of ice and split the oake open. Tho green thing was a small frog, which after an hour dr two in the sunlight hopped about vigorously. Preparations had already begun for celebrating the one hundredth birthday of Mrs. Bethiah Hancock in Richmond, Ind., on the 9th of September, but she died on Friday last. She was horn in Bordentown, N. J., in 17S6. The Rev. Mason "W. Pressly, a United Presbyterian clergyman of Philadel phia, in a sermon on Sunday said very truly that "the press is the herald of the Gospel and the greatest preaching agency that the Church has ever had." A twelve-year-old boy. swimming in the surf at Riverside, Cal., straddled a log floating in the water just as a breaker tlung log and boy on the beach. The log came down on the boy, crushing his skull, killing him instantly. Lawrenceville, III., a strong prohibi tion village, is considerably agitated be cause its town board has granted licenses for two saloons at 1,000 each. Threats are made that the saloon keepers will not have an easy time of it. It is told in St. Taut that the children in Minneapolis, its near-by and hated rival, have refused to read the Bible in the public schools because itis "tilled full of talk about St. Paul," while from Genesis to Revelation there is no men tion made of Minneapolis. Twenty-five years ago three brothers named Dwyer were separated. They met the other day in a shipyard iu Bath, Me., where two of them had been work ing for some time without knowing of the relationship. The third, a sailor, came to the yard, and the kinship was accidentally discovered. Two tramps walking ou the Fort Wayne Itailroad track near Alleghany on Saturday saw a little child playing on the track, and at the same time saw a train approaching. One of them, August Gotlieb, ran for the child, reached it just in time to throw it from the track, and then was ground to death under the wheels of the locomotive. At the Mechornich Lead Works in Germany the tallest chimney in the world has recently been completed. It is 44U feet high, six feet more than the famous chimney of the St. Rollox Chemical Works, near Glasgow, Scot land, which, until the German one was built, was without a rival. The flue of the Mechernich chimney is lit feet in diameter at the bottom and 10 feet at the top. A new and plausible explanation of the destructive tires occurring in pine forests is offered. The pine rosin exud ing from the trees is of ten of lens 6lrape, and before it thoroughly hardens fre quently of crystalline clearness. It is surmised that whilo in that condition a resin lens may focus the sun's ravs upon some litrht twig or resinous point and so start a blaze that quickly eats up a forest. Figures, which proverbially cannot lie, show that the cornfields of the United States cover a territory as large as Kngland, Scotland, aud Belgium united, whilo the grain fields surpass Spain in territorial extent. The acre age of our farm lands under cultivation is equal in extent to all of the I "nited Kingdom of Great Britain arid Ireland, France. Belgium. Portugal. Germany, and Au-tro-Hungary. A i 't -f tyj'rv fellows in vt. 1'aul painted tlie nose nt one of their number ;i bright red. and he walked into the hall of the Salvation Army there for a w bile the other took back seats to see tho fun. But the Salvationists at once saw in him a lit subject for their pravors. and they prayed and sung over the fellow until he became very peni tent, and apparently on the high road to conversion, to the disgust of hi.- com 1'ini r.- Religion and T'olltfi. There seems to be a grow ing impres sion that our colored people aro inclined to mix politics with ther religion; that is, they will decide at their church gatherings what line to pursue in re gard to certain public measures or can- didates who are asking for public office, Whether there is any truth in this com mon report or not, we have no personal knowledge, but the following from the New York World, if it is true, indicates that the report is not without founda tion. The church is tramping on dan gerous ground when it undertakes to punish its members for their political views- Raleioh. N. C. Aug. 12. - The A. M. E. Church in this neighborhood has been much disturbed by a question which savors more of politics than of religion. At the conference which was in session last November, when the ; requisite numoeroi teaoaers can ,te em death of Vice-President Hendricks was i P'oyed. There aro about five hundred announced the Rev. Andrew J. Cham-, white children in Newbern Who are (de hors offered resolutions of respect to the i Pe&dent on :this school for all the .da dead man's memory, which brought aj cation that they will ever receive, and storm of reproaches about his head. In ) spite of the fact that he was charged with being a Democrat, however, the church at Wilmington, to which he was appointed, received him with open arms, although its members are Repub licans. Before Mr. Chambers received this appointment it had been decided to hold the next conference in Wilming ton, but as Soon as the appointment was announced a circular was published de claring that the conference would not meet Chambers. His church members, however, stuck to their paBtor, and, as a compromise, the conference will meet in New Berne. The special session at which this de cision was arrived at was called by Bishop Turner, of Atlanta, in the fol lowing circular: You are hereby notified that for sev eral reasons too numerous to mention at present, yet extraordinary in their character and bearing I have resolved to assemble the North Carolina Confer ence for two days in Raleigh, N.C., Aug. 4, at 3 o'clock p. m. You are directed to be present at the time above designated, and should you know of any other member who may not receive a like notice, you are authorized to order him to be present. I shall then and there present the reasons for calling this extra session. This is only an extra session, remember, and not the regular session which meets in November. CLEVELAND'S INAUGURATION AX AUS PICIOUS EVENT. The meeting was well attended and the excitement was great. A number of speeches were made against Cham bers, to which he replied as follows: "I did not surrender my manhood when I joined the church, nor did I abjure an interest in my country's affairs when I assumed the obligations of a minister. I have never been a politician in the pulpit, neither have I obtruded my yiews upon unwilling auditors. And whether I have or have not is not the question. This conference must decide whether or not I have in fringed the Decalogue or contravened tho Discipline of the Church. If 1 have, summon me to the bar, if I have not, touch me at your peril. I offered reso lutions of respect t the memory of Vice-President Hendricks last Novem ber. There were no eulogistic sentences therein. He was referred to as the nation's dead; and yet the personal in tegrity of the man would have warrant ed favorable mention. Had Gen. Iogan been in Vice-President Hendricks' place and death should have claimed him, I would have offered similar reso lutions, for I recognize and honor that feature of our democracy that conducts governmental affairs by party agency. I do not think a citizen either a villain or an outlaw because his conception of public duty is opposite to mine, fur thermore, there is not a State or Federal official in this land that I do not honor. If the worthy Chief Executive of this nation should pass away, or should -he Governor of North Oarolina, no unen viable legatee of an . intolerant, age should stand between their honored dust and my sense of duty. "I fear we are too often misled. Brethren have been induced -to regard the men in authority as enemies because they were of opposite politics, and that the law is partial ia party men's hands; that it "s not the same law unto all the inhabitants of the same land, but is rather an instrument of a party to crush its antagonists. When the truth is, the law is the same and its purpose the same. It is the same guardian of virtue and Nemesis of vice, whoever may apply it. There was some little excuse for a colored man's dread of Democratic ascendancy previous to the inauguration of our present President; but since that auspicious ovent eyery excuse has gone. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness areas sacred today nay more sacred they have a firmer hold upon the public conscience than at any previous period in our history ; because public sentiment, the only recognized law of mankind, sustains the right, while force of every form vanishes away. "I will not turn an envenomed tongue on the white men of the South, nor do I think the real friends oi my race would sanction such a policy. Had we striven half as hard to win the good will of our neighbors, albeit they were ex-slaveowners, as we did to win the good will of strangers, the whole phase of affairs among us would be brighter thau it is: and in spite of all mistakes there is no section of our land in which we are so welcome. In no place are wo more trusted than in Southern homes. Every industrial station is the legitimate prize of ambition. Tax levies for learning filter through Southern fingers like crystal dow- drops. In want the same fingers feed us In sickness they min ister unto us. In old ago they comfort us, and in death they bury us. Oh! that justice may bo done by Christian ministers to a mercilessly maligned poople. "Chambers has a fine presence and is a graceful and forceful speaker. Ho is from New Jersey, but has taken part in Democratic campaigns in th West. The result of the trial, if trial it ran be called, resulted in a complete victory for Chambers, who was favored by Bishop Turner. The latter had Hp pointed him. Bishop Turner .-aid lo Tin. H orn correspondent this afternoon that Chamber's vindication was trium phant and that he commends his work. The Bishop himself, up to a few years ago, was an enthusiastic politician iu the Republican ranks. He says that when the Civil Rights bill passed he ceasod to be a Republican politn i in. for thenceforward he was of the opinion that the negro must stand alone and carve ont his own destiny.

DKMOqRAIfT,, , Phil Thompson's Talk to the Jury. . A few years after the warl2d.CffUns, a shiftless fellow-of Mercer cinty-tv indicted for stealing cattle. Jhe case, came up before Judge J. C. "Wlckllffe, now United States Attorney here then Circuit Judge. The trial was ,hj, the Court nouee at Harrodsburg. Phil Thompson, jr., was Prosecuting Attor ney, anii Phil Thompson, sr., and iPpJU Thomas C. Bell, now Assistant Uoiteq States Attorney here, appeared for the defense. Collins had been a qldiet; ia -the Federal army, while every man on the jury, the Prosecuting Attorney,' Circuit Clerk and the Judge "himself had fought for the Cohfederacy. The witnesses were brought forward and a -plain case of theft was made out against Collins. The, only dependence of the defense" was the testimony of Colons daughter Hose, who was to prove' an alibi. She was a beautiful woman, and made to tell her story for all it was worth. Bell made a most touching plea, appealing to the sympathie&.o4,the jury for a beautiful woman in distress with all the power of language he coufd summon. But the veterans of Bonei' sim and Shiloh were unmoved. Then old Phil Thompson laid himself out to mystify them and raise a doubt of the prisoner's guilt, and he, too, finally began to appeal to their gal lantry. In the midst of a glowiDg sen tence, however, he found , the jurv yawning, looking out of the window, and wholly inattentive. Breaking off his pathos the old lawyer leaned back on a table a moment, eyed the jury quizzically with a humorons twinkle in his eye. and said: "Look here, gentlemen, this stealing was done during the war, and ,you can 't do anything with a man for that. You. Tom Mundy."he continued, turn ing and pointing to the foreman of the jury, a strapping big Kentuckian, don't you remember that sheep you stole in Bowl 's Valley '; You can't con vict Ed Collins." There was a general waking up of the jury, and a smile went round. "And you, Dan Bond; you know that horse you stole from Lord Alexander in the spring of '08. You can't, send a man to prison for -Healing cattle. " The smile broke into an open guffaw m one or two places, and half a dozen ne'ii on the back seats stood up. As the old man took up the jury one by one and recalled his shortcomings the laughter became general and con tinuous, f inally he said : "And there's mv son Phil. Wasn't he one of Mor gan - .Must horse thieves'r What can he say against Ed Collins': And you, Li Buns, you ramember that raid on that old Yankee sympathizer in East Tennessee- And can you raise your voice against him'.'
