Vessels Fitted Out for Carrying on the Trade In Guatemala. San Francisco, April 18.—That slavery still exists on the Pacific coast is evidenced by the fact that the steamer Monserrat is fitting out here for a black bird cruise, and will sail for Gilbert island, whence it will’ carry a hold full of natives to work on the Guatemala plantations. Though all this is to be done nnder the guise of an equitable contract, it is none the less slavery, aud the projectors of the cruise are keeping the matter quiet. To divert suspicion tho Monserrat will sail first to Nanimo, whence it. will start oa its real errand. It will not fly the stars and stripes, bnt Americans own it and Americans will sail it. Last September the brig Ta- hite. loaded with 400 Gilbert islanders, and notoriously a slaver, was blown off its conr. e, and put in at Dnke’s bay, a few miles from this port. Learning that it was likely to be seized, its captain put hurriedly to sea, and the next that was heard of it was when it was sighted, bottom np, off the coast, all its crew and cargo having perished. The same people have plan ned the Monserrat slaving cruise, hoping to recoup themselves. There will 'be no difficulty in getting a cargo, as agents nt the island are now at work inducing the natives to sign contracts. On the Monserrat vail sail Bhthoriu, king king of Butaritari, Gilbert, island, who came here a short time ago, avowedly to get this government to establish a protectorate over the islands. It is said tho king will not lose anything by the slaver's ernise. Tho Democrats of Apple Valley Or ganize.

This stampeded the crowd, which ran in every direction, some of the sports returning the fire. Clubs and stones were also resorted to. Every window in the building was shot out, and bullets went through the coats of several of the participants. Patrick Stanley, of St. Paul, was tbe only man seriously injured. His right leg was so badly shattered by a charge from a shot gun that he .will lose the member. The sheriff’s men soon quelled the sports, and each of them was re quired to put up $10 for appearance at the next term of court at Anoka.

Both men had been drinking, and as the result of a dispute Underwood shot and killed Sayre in his own home in the presence ot his wife and her brother. The case will probably occupy sev eral days. When asked to plead guilty or not guilty to the charge of murder by the solicitor, Unerwood with a va cant stare in his eye, replied “Guilty. His attorneys, however, withdrew the plea and plead not guilty for the ac cused. Underwood’s manner and his plea attracted much attention. It is believed by some that he has lost his mind.

The matter was brought formally before the Republican county executive committee at the last meeting by the reading of the following letter from Senator John Sherman: Dr. Michael Walsh: ’ DgAR SIR—Yours of the ilth received. I read the extracts you refer to from Colonel Shepard’s paper, aud have no hesitancy in saying that he does not represent the views of representatives, bnt only his own. I think no Republican desires to interfere with a man’s religions convictions, nor should this question enter in any respect into the domain of party politics. [Signed.] John Sherman. The committee passed a resolution similar to one in Senator Sherman’s let ter condemning Colonel Shepard and repudiating the utterances of his paper on this subject.

The Poltttoat Battle for Supremacy in Louisiana. New Orleans. April 19.—The great fonr-sided political battle in the state of Louisiana between the two factions of the Democratic party and the two wings of tbe Republican party, has reached its cKmax in this general election. The Third Party are also in the field, bnt will receive scant notice. Accord- ingly, there are five state tickets in the field, viz.: McEnery, Democrat; Foster, Democrat; Breaux, Republican; Leon ard, Republican; and Tannehill, Third Party. The election is for state officers, district, parish and local officers and the municipal government of New Or leans. All ballots printed are against the lottery amendment. A vigorons fight will be made on the legislature which may have to count the vote to determine the result if charges of frand are made. The weather is warm and cloudy. The polls opened throughout the state and city with no disturbance, An honr later drfficnlty arose at the first precint of the fifth ward where a heated contest is going on.

No special officers have been sworn in, but Major Glynn, of tbe state mili tia, has detailed troops at the different arsenals as a means of precaution. The state officers this morning say the soldiers will not be ordered ont except a serious difficulty occurs. Killing John B. Madden in Blaiborne parish by Mar shal Lewis over politics in a parish, strongly favoring Foster, creates a feel- iug of uneasiness throughout the state. The indications are that fully 90 per cent of the 50,000 registered voters will ex ercise their rights. A heavy negro vote is being cast in the state. ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.

Artificial Incubation. Prairie Farmer says: “We are satisfied that as good fowls, either as breeders or for the table, can be raised by means of the incubator and the brooder, us can be by the mother hen, and when broilers are to be principally and largely raised for the early market the incubator and brooder must be used to insure success. Artificial incubation is as old as Egyp tian civilization. The modern incubator has brought this old idea down to our practical ways and has now come to he nearly practically perfect. That is to say, any intelligent man or woman by making a practical study of the ^matter as contained in the letter of instruction sent with each, ought not to find diffi culty in managing either the incubator or brooder. We see no reason, as a practical man engaged for over thirty years in the prac tice of agriculture in its several branches, including all classes of live stock and horticulture, why there should be diffi culty in managing an incubator and brooder. Bnt no person, man or worn an, need expect either to manage itself. Like any other thing in agriculture, the profit comes from intelligent action through a careful study of the imple ment or machine, as the case may be. In atfepr words, the farmer must use the same Cleans that any business man does. Then a goodvinachine or implement will do good work, aild none the less so than the incubator an<l bpqoder, especially where broilers are to be g'Gf ready in the season when prices are high^.

The winter and spring wheats are now interchangeable, the former being easily converted into the latter and the latter into the former. Another classification may be made with reference to the char acteristics to assist in their arrangement as follows: White, red and velvet chaff: smooth and bearded ears; white, red and amber grain', hard and soft grain. This classification is by no means' permanent or satisfactory except in relation to the smooth and bearded ears—they are al ways the same everywhere and in all seasons, bnt the other characteristics are subject to the influences of soil, climate and methods of cultivation in so marked a degree that they are not alike in any two sections or states or even seasons in BOOK STORE CORNER, the same region. In arid regions the ' chaff, straw and grain are much lighter in color, the grain much more flinty, the, chaff more fragile, especially on the bearded varieties.—Farmers’ Review. OF EVERY VARIETY.

Woodward, of Lockport, N. Y., advised baying early in the summer young, large sheep from the stock yards and cross ing them with a strong thoroughbred ram of the mutton breed. Then give good pasture through the summer and fall. When cold weather comes shear them and put in a frost proof barn, feed ing liberally, bnt judiciously, of hay and ensilage, ground oats, corn and peas mixed. Lambs sold in the New York market in December, January, Feb ruary and March averaged him from seven to twelve dollars. What Others Say. The American Cultivator says: “Wo do not see how any gardener on sandy soil can dispense with some use of clover.” The American Horseman says that the big covered track at the Jewett farm, where five-eighths of a mile of the track Is now nnder cover, has proven during the past winter a success. The preventives for Hessian fly an burning stubble, late sowing, rotation ol crops. Pastaring early sown wheat in the fall may destroy many of the maggots and “flaxseeds.” A cauliflower can be grown in the same space and with the same amount of manure required to grow a cabbage, and even in much lighter soil. It takes a little more care and skill to get perfect heads, bnt they usually sell for twice as much money as will the cabbage, says The American Cultivator. DISSOLUTION NOTICE. The firm of Jno. N.
