General John A. Logan’s letter o'i .Wf eeptance, coming from the man who is supposed to be a leading Republican statesman, is a remarkable document. It is a lumbering, awkward, cumber some affair, reminding one of a freight car bumping on cross-ties, and weigh ing at the least calculation twenty pounds to the inch. Its ideas are the platitudes that have been oozing from the country papers of the West for j twenty years, and its style is that of a school-boy who has never discovered the difference between sound and sense, lienee, we have the spectacle of a can didate for Vice-President put forth by the party of culture talking of those who “have been welcomed to a home in our midst,” and of a “stroke of finesse.” The Logan letter is a diluted para phrase of the Republican platform, and the dilution is weakened by a pro miscuous use of words. From begin ning to end there is not a spark of indi viduality in it. We merely have a glimpse of a tangle-haired man wander ing in a bewildered way through amaze of words. One can imagine the beads of perspiration standing out on Logan’s upper lip as he vainly attempted to ad dress himself to the understanding of 1 those whose support he covets. The 5 fact that he had completed his letter ' several weeks ago was telegraphed at the time, and one can well believe it after reading the document. We have no doubt that a kitchen edition of this curious epistle was in circulation a a few days alter the adjournment of the Republican Convention; indeed the [ flavor of the letter suggests that it was composed somewhere between the kitchen and the horse-stable. It is crude, coarse and rank, but these qual ities do not redeem its essential weak ness. Mr. Blaine’s letter is feeble be cause ttie policy of those who stood at his elbow placed, him under restraint, but Logan is feeble because Logan is feeble in his intellectual equipment. A feeble man intellectually is gene rally a rash man, and Logan’s reputa tion, such as it is, is based on his rash ness. He declares, among other things (to take an example at rSbdoml, that polygamy is a Democratic institution; but so serene a philosopher as Emerson claims it as an offshoot of Puritan. It is almost sacrilegious to couple the name of Emerson with that of the coarse-grained political freebooter Lo gan. and we have hardly the excuse of necessity in this instance; for Logan’s fulminations are of no more importance than those of a cowboy on the Western border. His description of the condition of af fairs in the South is amusing, though it is strictly on the line of argument em ployed by M. Halstead, of Cincinnati. We judge from Logan’s terrific remarks that there are States in the South'— Commonwealths in fact -where the negroes are -o numerous that they are hanging over the edges, clinging by their eye brows and holding on with their teeth. Logan is doubtless of the opinion that he is the inventor of the theory that all the ‘negroes vote the Republican ticket at every election, and he is inclined to lift the bloody shirt on high on that issue; but the theory was invented by Eli Perkins to pad out a summer almanac. If Logan desires to get the negroes interested in voting, as thby were when freedom was a novelty, he should come down and loctuie them. know of no other method. —Atlanta A Republican Campaign Document, Mr. Blaine’s letter accepting the Re publican nomination for the Presidency will be a disappointment to those of hfs Republican admirers who expected an admixture of dash and brilliancy in the composition, for there is nothing in it that is especially or ginal or strking. It is evidently designed a- a Repub lican campaign document, and to the protectionist element who consti tute much the larger portion of the party, will on the whole be satisfactory. The tariff reformers who still linger in the Republican camp can not, however, fail to feel uncomfortable at the promi nence given it and stress laid upon the doctrine of protection, which the Presi dential candidate seems to regard as the great issue of the campa'gn. The views of Mr. Blaine on the tariff are set forth at great length, but an ex amination of his utterances shows that on this great question he has merely strung together a lot of cheap protec tion platitudes. He states in the course of his letter many facts, the ex istence of which he attributes to the beneficial influence of the policy of pro tection; although there are many better reasons to account for the condition of things than that winch he holds up as the true one. In this respect, however, he but adopts the protectionist line of argument. He talks of free-trade soph istries, yet uses all of the protection sophistries - sophistries which there will be ample time to expose and explode during the campaign. Mr. Blaine speaks of the Republican method of tariff - red iction, and con trasts it with the Democratic, after the manner of the Republican resolut on on the tariff’. The party and the candidate alike forgot the Republican method of tariff reform a dozen years ago, when the scheme of a horizontal reduction of ten per cent, was adopted as the best available means of reducing the then surplus and lightening the burdens of the people. There are other features of Mr. Blaine’s letter which will re eive atten tion from time to time. For the pres ent it will be sutficent to say that the Democracy a e quite willing to accept the gage of battle on the tariff question, though they will not permit their posi tion to be misstated by their adversaries. They will show that the condition of labor is not as depicted by Mr. Blaine; and that the sc-called protective sys tem has led to the starvation wages in many parts of the country. They will show not merely one, but scores of tariff abuses whose effect has been to pamper and troteot monopolists and to crush labor. They will show how millions are unne essarily wrung from the peo ple in taxes —milli ns which only go to pile up an immense surplus in the Treasury and are available for no pub lic purpose, for there are ample re sources without them. They will show in short that the so-oalled protective system is a pretentious fraud.— Dtlroit fnc trm. t•.i > i ' t • is 11 1 a. tX a j ' ittuoii like a wet blanket, but Logan’s they say, resembled a crazy quilt. —Indiana | Sentinel. There is more personal n. aomet ism in a straight-forward, old-lasmoDcd honest man than there is in an entire regiment of “plumed knights.” Unless Mr. Blaine vio'ates good taste bv taking an active part in the present campaign, his letter may be re garded in the light of a Farewell Ad dress — Baltimore Day. The Mulligan letters show that Mr. Blaine marketed his rulings as Speaker at a valuation of hundreds of thousands of dollars to a wild-cat rail way company—and got the money.- - Albany Argus. Blaine was active in turning tba Republican party over to the Know Nothings when the cry of down with the foreigner was raised. Still we are informed by certain fools that the Irish will vote for Blaine. There have been two or three prominent Republican oflieials in the past twelve years who have proposed to turn the rascals out, but in the end the rascals have turned them out. For further information inquire of B. 11. Bristow. Nothing in this campaign has been more amusing than Elkin's vouch er. “ Mr. Blaine knows all about the proprieties.” Belknay should match it with a certificate about the “equities,” and Kellogg with one about the “seraci ties.”—Exchanqc. The New York Tribune, under its present editor, in the winter of 1873, denounced Blaine “as a bribe-taker and a bully.” The change wrought iu it since was not a change of heart, and William Walter Phelps, who made the change, knows just what did it As poor Logan reads the com ments on his letter of acceptance he must not fail to rememi er that it was the New York Tribune winch drew at tention to his eminent claim to the Irish vole, based on the allegation that he was uot even on speaking terms with the English language. 7 'he Argus. By setting up a veto shop in the White House Mr. Blaine could treble liis salary every month Congress was in session, and lie is just the man to do it. But the approvals that can be bought and the vetoes that can be 6old are not the kind the honest men of tho United States desire.— Exchange. Mr. Blaine’s long-delayed and much-labored letter of acceptance is at last before the public. The lengl hof the document is inordinate, and if it is an example of what he will be capable, in the way of elaborate composition, when lie becomes President, we are a raid the newspapers will at once cool toward him.— Ltica Press. Black Jack Logan addressed a post of the Grand Army of the Repub lic at Minneapolis, Minn., last week, and having inadvertently delivered him self of a grammatical sentence, an en thusiastic admirer was so struck by the fact that he could not tvait till the speaker was done to congratulate him on his success, but blurted the fact right out in meeting. —Richmond To., State. Mr. Blaine de dares that “he is not one who proves a deadhead in any enterprise;” in other words, lie is “on the make.” The Presidency could be made the source of more entirely infa mous wealth to a man who could venal ize it than any other place in the coun try. A man who will administer it hon estly, not one who would market the patronage aud its powers over legisla tion, is desired by the people. — N. Y. World. The Independents. The Independents have gone to work like a very earnest, sincere and prac tical body of men, and show a disposi tion not to pursue one candidate with any venom born of disappointment or bestow upon the other superlative pra se to justify their own course, but simply to treat both sides and their pre tentions strictly upon their merits. Tha Independents are in a position to em phasize, even more than the Demo crats, the glaring unfitness of the Re publican candidate on the point of character alone for the high position to which he aspires. The obj< ctions that these men present to the gratification of Blame's ambition, can not be whisked aside as “Democratic lies.” They are not manufactured as campaign capital, but have existed so long and so definitely that these men are for the time being, at least, driven from the party with which they have almost al ways acted. There is one issue, that Blaine, his organs and def nders try"to avoid, and that is the very issue which the Independents will press home. Moreover, it is the issue that must be settled before the self-respecting citi zens of this country can consider any thing else. He may be smart: he may brilliant; he may be magnetic; but is lie honest? The overwhelming testi mony of wjjat has already been made public concerning his transactions is to the contrary. He has med high official trust for private gain. He has solic ted the recognition that attacks to valua ble consideration for certain official acts in the interests of corporations or indi viduals. He has cariied his country to the venre of a broil with a’friendly re public in order to advance private claims. As in the case of the Northern Pacific, he has “kept his eye skinned” for opportunities that he could make special use of as a high official with large authority. All this is not only popularly bel eved of Blaine, but it is believed by men of the keenest intelli gence and the most careful methods in both political parties, and upon the strength of extensive evidence. This belief is strengthened by the pains that he and liis supporters are taking, not to demolish it wi h stronger counter evidence. but to laugh it down or ignore it—at all events to dodge it. That is the condition of things that is at the bottom of the Independent movement, ml so it becomes more particularly the udepinder.t issue. It is large enough of itself to conduct the campaign to Blame’s defeat. If he is a pure and honest man, then he is one of the most unfortunate, but, in that eveot, he should not run away from the issue, for it will pursue aud" have it out with him before the campaign is ended.— JJusion Pott, 1 -*■>„.. jrmg annuais a h'pltini keep in oloom much longer if not al lowed to ripen their seeds. —The stems of roses having borne blooms should be cut back to a strong bud, which vfill soon push out new stems. —We have read of wooden seeds so perfectly made as to deseive the hus bandman Blit ♦here never was one so ‘’perfectly made as to deceive the soil.—• Prairie Farmer. —Fried Bananas: Teel and slice lengthwise, T ry in butter, sprimde with sugar and serve.

The result of feeding potatoes and bran to horses is thus given by the Farm Journal: “The ration was half a peck of raw potatoes and two quarts of bran twice a day, to which was added a mall quantity of clover hay.

The productive powers of a hen de pend u on her constitutional capability and the feed ng, The statement tha a hen has a certain number of germs of ovules in the ovary at birth and that these mature during certain periods of her life, is simply b sh. It is a base less, imaginary supposition, and quite inconsistent with wh :t is known as the laws of animal growth, if these COG ovules exist, at what time were they formed? fr hey must have existed iu the young chi ks, and if so they must hive flee,i in enrbry >in the egg. i his is not possible, it might as well be said that every fat globule in the milk of a cow has been numbered and pro vided for at lb i birth of the calf, be cause these globules are produced b cell growth in precisely the same mauner as the ovule iu the o>ary of a lieu It was once sa d years ag > that the whole of a tree e xisted in emb|o in th ■ seed —the roots, stem, branei.es and leaf. This is a paral el misstatement k> that in regard to the hen. The at stfali.y is apparent to anyone who think* about it, and one s absurd as the other. The fact is, ihe hen at birth has no appar ent ovules, nor is th: o ary fully firmed. This grows and matures as the chick grows and increases in age and si/.e, from the ordinary ceil growth, by wli ch the bone, muscle and other parts oi the fowl are produced from the blood, which is made from the food. Iho food is eaten and digested and changed into blood; the blood lorms the mat er front which the cellular tissue of the animal is built up. If the food is not sumcieiit l'orall the dt mands of the animal, its life is tirst sustained, then its sustenance is added to, b t its reprod naive, fund ons are not com pleted or set in action. For this full purpose oi' a living creature, whether planter animal, full and suffeient nu triment must he provided. A hen will not lay eggs unless fully fed, simply because the ovules in the ovary can not be iormed without the necessary sub stance, which must come from the blood; and these ovules are formed by an abundant growth of tissues in pro portion to the supply of food. The bet ter a lien s fed and the more, judicious care bestowed upon her, the more eggs she will produce. As some hens have been known to loy over ,oOU eggs in the course of a loDg life, it is very dear that a large numoer ot ovules must have been prod need somehow, al hough she was provided w.th -.dt al her birth.

Tim e* Balm of '(Snead is a plant of the genus amyns. Its leaves yield, when bruised, a strong, aromatic scent. From this plant is obtained the Balm of Gilead of the shops, the balsam of Mecca or of Syria. This has a yellowish or green ish color, a warm anil somewhat bitter taste, and a fragrant smell. It is valued as an odoriferous ointment or cosmetic by the Turks, who possess the country in which it is produced, aud from its scarcity and value often adulterate it for the market. The amyris is a low tree or shrub growing in several parts of Abyssinia aud Syria. It has spreading, crooked branches, small, bright green leaves growing in threes, small white flowers on seperate footstalks. The petals are four in number, and the fruit is a small, egg-shaped berry, containing a smooth nut. To obtain the juice the bark of the tree is out with an ax at the time when its sap is in its strongest circulation. Aji the juices ooze through the wound* they are received into small earthen bottles, every day’s produce being poured into large bottles and corked. When fresh, the smell of the balsam is exquisitely fragrant, but if left exposed to the atmosphere or in a bottle un corked, it loses this quality. The quan tity of balsam yielded by one tree is said never to exceed sixty drops in a day. It is, therefore, very scarce, and can with difficulty be procured in a pure and unadulterated state even at Con stantinople. Its stimulating properties upon the skin are such that the face of a person unaccustomed to use it be comes red and swollen after its applica tion and continues so for several days. Josephus states that the Balm of Gilead was one of the ti’ees given by the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. — Farm, Field and Fireside. “I used Swift’s Specific on my littla daughter, who was afflicted with soma Blood Poison which had resisted all sorts of treatment.
