Senator LoiiLling* Speech.
On Senator Conkling's return from
Europe an immense crowd greeted
him. The follow dig is a part ol his
speech to them:
You may expect me to say some
thing of my journey abroad. The
truth is I was homesick. The far
ther I went, the more it seemed there
was no country like America—no
State like New York. No Ameri
can can realize the progress America
has made until he goes and com
pares it with other lands. Without
seeing ot her countries it is bard to
realize how bounteous nature and
Providence have been to us. We
sutler just now from hard times and
depressed industries. You see aH
this and more abroad. Wc think
England rich in her ocean trade; so
she is, but many of hoi best ships
are idle; steamships lines, in some
instances, alternate with each other
running only half of the time; man
ufactories are depressed everywhere;
working men here are dissatisfied
w itii wages, and unwise and lament
able counsels has recently led to law
less acts from which, in the end, no
one will sutler so much as their au
thors and abettors and those they
assume to represent.
I wish they could all go to France
;md England anil see what the work
men and women do there and hear
the wages they receive. England,
excluding the twelve counties of
Wales, is not larger than the State
of New York. It contains 24,000,-
000 of people. One or two hun
dred men own half of England, their
estates are princely reservations for
game and pleasure and opulence;
one man may ride thirteen miles in
one direction and nearly as far in the
other in his own estate and when he
dies his eldest son takes it all. The
State of New York has less than 5,-
000,000 of people. Suppose there
were live times as many, and then
that one half of the State was given
up to the monopoly and pleasure of
one hundred and fifty noblemen.
Suppose in addition up i; a id svoinci.

had a vote or a voice in public affairs
or in making laws and that the
groat body of working men were
wholly excluded from all part in
cheesing the members of only one
house of parliament. The seais are
not hereditary there. Suppose tax
ation to maintain a standing army in
which commissions are sold for mon
ey or given to sons and relatives, and
taken to maintain and establish a
church m which livings are sold to
the highest bidder or bestowed as
patronage. What would tlio work
ing men of Pennsylvania and Ohio
think of such conditions? We arc
all workingmen in America. No
class has a monopoly of the right to
call itself the working class here. I
have always worked, and always have
been compelled to work, and all my
sympathies are with honest labor. I
believe in all its dignity and its
rights; but when tidings of the
strikes reached me in Paris, under
my eyes was a spectacle which seem
ed to heighten the madness of what
men in America were doing. The
government of France was borrow
ing money, and on the curbstone or
the street sat men all nigh*. to "et
each his turn in the morning to in
vest in the loan. They were work
men, who, Hviug as workmen, do
not aud need not live here and work
ing for wages which American work
men would scorn, had by hook or by
crook saved fifty francs each. Fifty
francs make ten American dollars;
and these all night watchers were
there to get a ten dollar bond on
which they were to get four ]>er
cent, interest. There sat the work
ingman of fiance amid the luxury
of the more fortunate, contented
with what God had sent him. Can
it be that liberty and prospeiitv have
spoiled any portion of the American
people till they cannot endure their
share in a season of common adver
sity?
Another advantage of every class
in America impressed me, the fact

I*!ant Turnip*.
From the 25th of July to the
15th of September turnips may be
sown to great advantage. It is a
great mistake to suppose that laud
requires less preparation for (-urnins
than for corn and cotton.
The truth is, land should Ik*
well prepared for every valu
able crop. Sometimes there arc
long spells of dry weather ia July,
August and September. Shallow
plowing will not retain moisture for
such s] Kills of dry weather, jml tur
nips fare badly without a due slim*
of moisture, ami deep plowing is the
only way to secure it for any great
length of time. The turnip has a
r.apiform root differing from the
pimlU- rout in swelling out just at
..V a.iri uv *-e jiie ground. It is at
h .ii.,.v,or near it, tlmk little
moisture is left iu long, dry .-polls,
and scarcely any, if the plowing was
shallow. The turnip roots there
fore must obtain their mo : iurc, in
those dry spells, from lower depths,
and if there was shallow plowing
there can be no depths of moisture,
for below the depth of the plowing
the hard ground resists the descent
of rains. Even in hard rains the
moisture will be shallow, for the ex
cess of water will run off taking
some of the soil with it, instead of
sinking into the earth and aitcrwards
gradually ascending to afford nutri
ment to the roots. How ofuai in
dry weathc do we sec tac young hu
mp plant withering and dying.—
This is owing to the 'want of mois
ture. Nothing is more common in
agriculture than to see whole .sow
ings of In. nip seed come to nothing,
and resowings are required* some
times more than once to secure
stands. The remedy is to plow deep
and sow well in manured drills.—
Guano, superphosphates of lime,
well-rotten stable manure, dissolved
nones and ashes, are ail good ma**
mires for turnips and, as they are
generally cultivated on a large scale
fanners should procure enough of
these nrannrci for their turnip lols.
As good turnips as 1 ever saw were
made on a small lot about an acre
and a half which had .cen used for
several months as a cow-jien in which
about fifteen or twenty head of cab
tie were penned every nignt. The
lot w-as plowed, cross plowe 1 and
harrowed, and the seed were sown
broadcast. But this plan will never
do unless the land is rich. The
drill plan, with a plenty of manure,
is the better plan ordiu* rily. Drills
two feet apart will answer, and the
plants should he left a foot apart in
the drill for the convenience of hoe
ing. They should he ihinnel as ear
ly as possible after they begin to
grow vigorously,— Exchange.
