Something Toe Much or Newman. . The story gees that Colonel Frank A. Burr, who is writing an interesting and valuable book about General Grant, wrete asking Parson Newman te furnish him an account otthe death-bed scene and that he enclosed fciW remuneration. The par son accepted the work and the money, which latter he treated as a retainer, though he had net witnessed the death. If this story is net true it ought te be. It is at least characteristic of one the most obvious and transparent of the many frauds' and humbugs who had for many years hung te the skirts of General Grant. ,11, Newman will only take the money, and write nothing the publishers, Colonel Burr and the readers of his book will be fortunate in escaping such a blot. It is almost impessible te believe that any such man could maintain himself for be many "years even with a man of the simplicity which was General Grant's dis tinguished characteristic. Pew men did mere te discredit General Grant's civil career than this clerical mountebank, fastening himself upon him seen after he became president, he simply used liia clerical position te promote his own selfish ends. His sermons were always a travesty upon religion, and his methods a disgrace. He Iwcame the originator, the abettor, or apologist forevcrything bad in the politics of the reconstruction ieried, and finally used his clerical influence te sccure his own appointment as nn"inspectoref consulates" a position for which he had no fitness. But even Newman came te the end of his string after a time. The retirement of General Grant from the presidency took away his only seurce of power, and he was compelled te leek around him. After drifting about for a time he went te New Yerk, took off ene coat and put en another, and le 1 he steed out transformed from a minister of ene denomination, into a minister of another. Soen his new con gregation. began te tire of him and it was net long until he had involved himself in a (i-most disgraceful squabble. Thus another Employment wa? lest "nnd .Newrnnirtast v$beuiLhinu again. About this time the tff-fiinr? rich son of a California politician A funeral sermon was wanted and wrrmti furnished ene te order, which, if it had been pronounced ever the body of Julius Ctcsar, would have been the most fulseme flattery. But all the sons of rich men de net die, nor can peer people pay extravagant rates for funeral services. Se Newman again cast his anchor te the wind ward. About this time General Grant fell ill, and Newman hastened te New Yeik. Ileie he again foisted himself upon the man huhnd dene se much te discredit. And from that day te this he has been able te thrust his noisemo personage before the public. Loud and vulgar, lie has hesitated at nothing which could bring him into notoriety. Al ways a mountebank, he lias made religion a byword and has been able by his inherent lack of taste te bring discredit upon a great sorrow. Fer General Grant's death there is uni versal mourning and for his family univer sal sympathy. But these can net be made te include such a man as this. It is time something was done te leliove the country of the only discreditable feature. Let him deliver his sermon, when and hew he may. This much can scarcely be hindeied new. But, this done, it is te be hoped that some sort of retreat may be found in which this disgusting person may bury himself forever from further view. have attempted work had their inities killed, thelrtoelHUpotroyed.nnd tholrfencos burned, whlle the Indian's rllle standi) as the niace of authority In the agent's ofllee. A month age the war department found ltnelf imable te furnish men Hate escort nftresa the reserva tion, mid I was compelled te go round. Senater Dawes is net a great man and frequently falls te rlse te the level of even an ordinary occasion ; but he is thoroughly at home en this subject nnd has made him self entiicly familiar with it by personal investigation. He boldly charges that the interior department under Teller and llo lle publlcan administration has connived at a wholly illegal and unjustiflable policy, enriching jobbers, demoralizing the Indi ans and driving them back te deeper de gradation. Mr. Dawes says : " The new administration has inherited this wretched legacy, but it cannot escnpe administering it. It must call In, rovlse and take control of these leases." That is Just about what the new administration seems te be doing. Army Vurnncics. The refusal of the president te till the vacancicsiu thenriny by appointment from civil life will commend itself le the coun try as a senslble conclusion. There are something llke a dozen vacancies in second lieutenancies which will, in this way, le saved for the next class at West Point which will be large. Thcse young men can therefore be provided for at ence. There is no special necessity for filling the vacancies at this time when it is impossi impessi impessi beo te give all our soldiers work, and until a system has been devised by which seme assurance shall be given that appli cants for clviLllfe for places in the army are well qualified for their places, it is much better that the AVest Point academy should furnish us with our soldiers. It is evident that the day has passed when presidential, cabluet and congressional favorites can be pushed upon the army. LANCASTER COUNTY FARMERS.

The corn has been badly blown down by the late storm and can't get up again. Lute potatoes may de well, but early ones are hardly a half crop. Apples will net make halt a crop; pooches pretty geed; pears will yleld the best crop had ler years ; imlnces are sutlbrlng from blight. The eats crop had been cut down by the dreuth nearly ene half. Halnfall June nnd July was only 3 Inches. Fer the six months less than U Inches. Casperlllller said, the hayciep was net large, but very geed. The wheat crop he rated at ene-half. The corn crop with a fa fa fa vornble August will make a geed crop. The fruit crop is cone rally lnwr. oxcent nears. which are line. The grapes wero Injured by locusts. Jehnsen Miller said the report from War wick as te gram and hay is about the same ts'nbove rojiertod. There will be a geed crop of corn; the clevor and iiastureis damaged by the dreuth ; the eats crop is geed. Jehn C. Llnville reported n geed crop of eats, the best in 11 f toen years; three-fourths of the young clever has been killed by the dreuth; small fruits wero average crop ; to bacco is very backward, and unless the wcather Is very favornble the yield will be light James Weed roiKirted very dry weather In Ijlttle Britain ; the wheat crop was much better than exjccted, but net three-fourths as heavy as last year : eats light ; npples peer; corn leeks very well ; had rain en Sunday week, but none Sunday or Saturday.

Senater Dawes, through the columns of tho-New-Yerk 2Vt'6i(ue, amply Justifies the president, his secretary of the interior and the attorney general,ln the stand they have taken against the cattlemen's claims te enjoy the territory of the government upon Which it has placed the Indians. They are there as wards of the natIen,with no power te lease their lands nor te divert them - from the purposes for which theynre given te them. Rapacious ranchmen, taking ad vantage of the shiftlessncss of the average red man and his desire te get n little ready money, have leased their lands at rates which affords them enormous profits. The government nnd Indians are net only cheated out of their own, but the demoral izing results of the rel'cy are widespread As Senater Dawes points out : Take for lnstance the Choyennos and Ara Ara Ara pahoes, new the terror of innocent sottlers en , the border. There has been distributed .among theso Indians, of this rental, ever hIiice tbe leases have been In force, about ' 78,000 a year. This bes been enough te en able overy male Indian te purchase a Wln Wln Wln nhoster rllle and ammunition lu Kansas. They have for many months commanded the reservation ami in ageni, compeiiuig mm en mere occasions than ene, with n rifle le veiled at his head, te oxeeuto their orders. Their conflicts with the cowboys brought en te their reservations under these leases, are tilling the laud with forrer. Yet llve years age theso Indian were as peaceable as any lu the land. The ageucy itseir then ewned a herd quietly aud securely grazing ou the reservation, which with proper care, with its Increase, would new number several thousand cattle. The scholars in the agoney achoel, saving from the goveramont rations and Investing in cattle, had also n little herd or their own, numberlng at that time slxty-five. Twe of the pupils wero married In the month of August of that year and took their share of the school herd and went out te set up a ranch of their ew n. In that month I travolled nine days through that reservation unguarded and slept secu re ly n tents en the open prulrie, flew is it new? The agency herd has been eaten up, tbe school herd has bmx sold.

The wires caught him and his body hung thore supported by theui and the oress-pieco. The cmployes at the company's works, two blocks nway, went te the sceno and ene of them ascending the pole found Welsh dead. There wero no marks en the body oxcept soine slight dots ou the forehead similar te theso made by gunpowder. An asm te cor cer cor euor's jury found that he came te his death from a shock of eleetricity received whilst engaged In fixing an electric lamp, mid the Jury further think that according te all tlie ovidenco his death was caused by negllgcnce en his own part" The latter clause was sagaciously inserted because the Jury thought Welsh had no business te go up te the lamp, that beiug another man's duty 1 Although no ene could testify exactly as te hew Welsh ro re ro celved the shock, nil theso acquainted with the electric lamps agreed clesely en ene theory ; that Is, that Welsh did net switch oil the current, and, taking held of the posl pesl posl tlve and nogative wires, made n circuit of his body and tliuscausodhisewn death.

He held the production of wheal te be meat important industry in which man can engage Te produce a geed crop, the farmer wants geed laud, with geed dialnage, geed manure aud thorough cultivation. Wheat does net thrive en low lands or en clayey soil, but the latter may be greatly improved by a liberal application el llme nnd sand. Barn yard manure is the best, nnd te this should be added, the rich wiuhingef earth, green weeds, cut before they run te soeu, and ether ell'al, all of which should be composted in the manure plle. Only the best varieties of seed should be sewn, aud the seed lcd should be prepared by harrowing se as te lcave the ground clear of clods. Tlie wheat should be drilled in and the drill should have the regulating roller In front of It te keen it at the proper depth. He would drill in tlie! seed the last vtoek In Koptemlior and cut tlie grain as seen as the kernel has passed lrem the milky te the doughy stale. If cut tee early the the grain loses by shrinkage, and ir tee late by n portion or the flour being lest In the bran. The old mauuer of "shocking" tlie wheat, which has In a great measure been uuauuuiieu, was a goeu practice anu no re- commendod It. With our Improved farm machinery we are apt te hurry everything ve cut our grain tee seen; carry it te the barn tee soeu ; and thresh it tee seen. The oxtenslvo culture of tohaece In this count v causes farmers te neglect thelr wheat crop le ugruaiuAiciiu j no essayist urged tliem te glve mere .attention te tlie great staple wheat, The Ymy Dlscuaaeil. Jeseph C. Wltmer, in criticising tlie essay, said he ngrced with the essayist in most lelnts, but thought he was In errer in recom mending n finely pulvorized soed-bed. Mr. Wltmer favored a rat her rough seed-bed. Thore should be enough fine soil te cover the sced, but he thought the surlace should be rathe- rough or only of medium fineness. Mr. lhigle said that In broadcast sewing, it is well te have the surlace rough ; but this Is net nocessary when the wheat is driiled. Care must be taken te drill it in very shallow, net mere than an inch. He lias driiled both, with and without tlie drill regulators and found that which was drilled with the regu lator preduced the best crop. Mr. Wickersham said that In a meney sense, hay and cotton were mere valuable than wheat; In a loed sense, rice Is a much mero valuable crop and mere people l!e en it than llve en wheat Mr. Hoever malutalned that wheat was a better crop than rlce, and does mere geed te the race than any ethor product II. M. Kngle said that wheat was claimed te contain the elements of feed In better pro portion than anything olse, and the progresn of civilization is measured by its Increased consumption. The eats cren unci imtntn nrm. nre ulse important factors in the feed supply and their use is rapidly increasing. J. V. Linville agreed with Engle In what he said about the preparation ofthe seed bed. He favored shallow drilling. As te the time of cutting, he heard n miller say te-day that we cut our wheat tee green. If we would let It ripen we could rsuse us geed wheat as they de in the West James Weed said some millers took the opposite vlew, and said we de net cut seen oueugh. Honsked II the reller had better be placed alter a well as before the drill in seeding. Several members gave thelr e.xnorlenco as te rolling the ground after the drill, souie of whom approved and seme did net He also with cutting wheat green or ripe ; seme fa vered early nnd seme late cutting.
