STRAWBERRIES AND, PoLITIOs.
BY 4 011.9.8LD6 D. WARNER.
When a man retires to his farm, Row
a-days, it is in a Plokwickian sense;
every one knows that he has Cincin
natas'in his eye as a model, and that,
When he puts his hand to the plow, he
is always looking baOk to see if the mes
sengers are 'not coming across the field
with the senatorial robes.)" Ws'all like
to , see' our pOliticians retiring to they
rural aoreS, and them , reluotantly
log forward again to serve the .people.
There, le a dignity in, this higher kind
of agriculture..., blest of our, Presidents
have been C 0111417,132033, :who dated their

about it.
There is an old-time prejudice that ,
farmers are hen*, and that a man on
his "farm; in such sweet contact with
nature, must befree from the wiles and
tricks of the thorough-paced politician..
The farmer candidate is just the one fdr
the city districts. There is something
about the thought of the calm ()Wein
flatus, sitting among his cabbages, that
captivates the civil imagination. Eve
rybody runs'better If he has a farm at
tached to him, if there is a rural fiaver
about him, a little hay seed in his hair.
Lawyer, soldier, or man of leisure, he
is all the more popular if he can date
:the acceptance of his-nomination from
some country site. ' . , •
There has been, of late years, an at
tempt,on the part of our great men in
politics to establish a rural "connection'
in a new way—a sort of horticultural
way. They give their names to .some
plant, or berry, which it . is 'expected
will be popular, and make them hemp
hold words. These may, perhaps, be
called nursery candidates. We' have
had the Patch' potato ; Patch jumped"
off Niagara Falls, and was immortal
ized in a poem by Sands. We have had
the Hubbard squash; Hubbard.has
been in Congress,, and Was one of' the
best patrona. of pumpkin 'pies in the
'capital restaurant. We had the Doolitt
tie raspberry; Doolittle has been in the
Ileitate. We are noW.trying the Colfai
:strawberry, and so ox ~and fig 41). - , ,
It seems to me that if I were a mina!
'date fot office, I should hesitate about
;sending out a berry with my name.; .it
is very 'risky business., You never can
tell What a strawberry, for instance;
Will do. It wily, prombie welt in the
nursery, and utterly fail when it runs
1 over,tlie country. A berry may do very
well in Indiana, and miserably in New
'York. The soil of every, locality is a
new trial to it. Mr.' Senator 'Wilson, to
be sure, did very Well With his straw
- berry. There' was never before such a
strawberry for the market it Is hand-,
.some In form, of _good. color, firm 1,61,-;
:tore, will, keep -sound a long time, and;
.is very hardy and prolific. It is, in alli
reepeets, says a horticultural, frienti,pf.
,mine,a first rate berry, except inone, 7 l !
it is not ' gocid to, eat. It is however cin
excellent berry to raise ,'anti it ' is . good,
to give awa Y to the neighbors. ' It is
easy n
,t be generous with it. You hive'
'all' the credikot giving
,awaY Strawber
ries, and none of the regret, at parting
with them. This is coming as near to
a virtuous 'talon 'without self-seariflogi
as it is possible In this poor world; and,
after all, as the world is constuted,
with net' too nice a taste, I sh o uld as
lief 'take my chance of runningon tbe
Wilson berry as any other: - - :
. But it does appear to me-that Mr.
Colfax has made a mistakeln sending
out his strawberry. As . a symbolical
berry it has "good points..: It does , not
incline to inn ; perhaps it is a bad omen
--- , but what we are all looking 'for, in
beriies and politicians,. is something
that is wore-anxious- to. do well in -.the
place where it is set, than to run all the
time. The' C olfax'Vines grew, iirotll-'
giously, with a sort of Western wild- '
ness=--large, strong plants. They blos
som profusely. The promise is extra-,
ordinary. And they bear, each hill, a'
bat full of berries, which are small, '
sour, soft, and, when fully ripe, have
an unpleasant taste. The birds will not
Sat them; the smallest end-mostillite
rate boys will not steal them—boYa - w boi l
will eat Unripe cherries and green Cur
rants. The attempt to raise Colfax ber
ries for - the poor is a failure. I have
had to let them go to 'decay, on the vines.

Besides, our Colfax infected the adjoin

them with their own crudity.
It is possible that the Colfax might
do better in other soil ; but it is con
demned, because a political 'berry must
• heti() universality. It is easy to fancy
your strawberry patoh a sort of test of
character; you come to recognize the
individuality of the kinds, and to in
tensely like and dislike them. There
fore I say that for a politiolan to send
out his berry is very hazardous.. A de.:
tided hit is rare. Tile Charles Down
ing, for instance, has put itself in a good
position. If the Jueunda, the - elegant,'
high-bred Juctinda, is the queen of her-
ries, the Downing is king—the royal in
flavor, and royally prolific, as . prolific
As queen . Vietoria. ' If Downing (who .
may have been the colored oysterman,
for aught I know) wants' to run for
President, ;now is the time , for him to
'Come forward. -He will run well, and
the fruit is' superb. - , '
Horace , Greeley began his political
career by sending out strawberry plants

Theft is a great delight in watching the
development of the different varieties
one can almost imagine he is studying
the unfoldings of character. There are
the great promisee and the auiall fulfill
ment; the modest beginnings and the
abundant fruit; the sourness of one,
the delicious sweetness of,
,the other.—
I should think that every politician
would like to have .beds of his rivals
and watch, their growth. He rniglit

depends on opportunity, after' all. The
strawberry is the most sensitive of
plants. There never yet was a year
that was not too hot or tOo'cold for it,
too wet or too dry ; generally it is both
too wat and too • dry. The weather, a
fickle thing, stands for popular favor.
Thorn's abundant disappointment in
all occupations, but there is, with all
its uncertainty, a peace in strawberry
culture which politics takes away but
cannot give.
A TOUGH STOILY
A Louisville correspondent of the
Eian Francisco Chronicle says :
There lived on street; hi awful- .
pretending esta4hment surrounded ,
by trees and flowers, a young lady who
was celebratedlor heic beauty and ac
complishments.„4 was a blonde,
with bine eyes, white teeth and .a heft- .
venly smile ; : .had, the .prettiest hand•
and foot that Iva* 'ever seen ; and, wasp
'I, lithe and elegant, Her wit was
delicate,' i3olllteil stud rpor . hlielaiand xi*
mind as superior as her person was,
lovely. The town was at her feet, and
her suitors were as importunate, if not
as many, as Penelope's ; like whom,
She was continually wooed and never
'won. In the midst of her success came
the war, the end of which found her
family impoverished, and herself re
duced-to want for the necessaries of life.
But she was still the same proud, im
perious Mistress of hearts as before, and
refused in quiok succession the many
offers of marriage that were now made
to her. She bad not thought of. matri
.mony as a resource, but had other and
different prospects in
.view. Sle pur
posed, in fact, to teach school.
A fellow townsman, a gentleman cif
wealth and ' - position, and a bachelor,
had long been a silent worshiper at her
shrine. He had houses and lands—ei
tates in the country and lots in the city
—stooks, interests and investments
wherever they would pay'; and his pri
vate 9stablishrnent on street was
simplrpalatial. Seeing how the case
stood wtth her whom ho loved with his
whole soul,, he resolved, after many
self communings and much reflection,
to tali her to become his wife.
'Sir," she said, In answer to his pro
'posal, Ido not love you, 1113.1 I cannot
'marry you.' •
Think the • matter over, my dear,'
said he, and in one week from today
give me your answer.'
Upon his return on 'the 'day set she
said te

each should select a friend, and that the
;two selected friend's were to choose the

two made choice of Dr. —, an timi
nent professor in the medical college,
as the friend of both parties. By these
gentlemen', the preliminaries were ar
ranged, and the progrttmme was this:
The doctor was to give a party at his
house on a certain specified Friday eve
ning, at which were, to be present all
the best peoplein Louisville ; th . e Hon,
Mr. —was to have a license iu blank,
ready to be filled at a moment's warn
ing, and was to hold Mr. 'd cheek
for $100,000; and the Rev. Mr.
was to be in waiting to perform the
Marriage ceremony, if called in, to do
so. The dice were to be thrown in the
'Hon. Mr. study', l whence the
quintette were to proceed to the party,
where, if • Miss lost, they were toT
celebrate the wedding, and if she won,
they were to mingle with the guests
without remark.'

He had thrown, therefore, a ful three

And now came Miss --Ts turn. it

Pioneer Life—Domestic Scenes in the
' west.
A writer in the Milwaukee Wiscon
sin 848 : "It Paint an Idle thing to pi
oneer:. It:looks' easy enough arid idle
enough, no doubt.„ A man coming from
the rocky, tacitiiri soil of New' Eng
land, where an acre has to be tiokied,
not only with hoe, but with guano and
' muck and 'ard work,' before it laughsl
with a harvest, seems to expect thafi tilt,
pra ries of the West 'will afford him I
gra u crops spontaneously, orchards of
frul , and all the vegetables of the tem-.
per to zone.
I knew one much-expecting pioneer
wh took it very hard at the lANat that
1
Ay sike cows and Chester white pigs
were not to be found running wild, and
to be had for the Mere lassooing. The
native animals struck him as a direct
insult, from the region to which he had
so- fondly emigrated. 'What can be
expected of a country where the pigs'
noses are two feet long?' he tragically
asked: , And with'ari injured air he re
packed his valise 'and returned to his
o I
atone fenced acres in New Hampshire.
We had a good laugh at him, or rather
after him, and we take much satAlZic
plossore,..even,now; in .selipog kiirO, re
ports of our thousand bushel wheat
crop, while he is 'buying his family,
flour at $l4 per barrel.
The moral of this is, that whoeveti
permits the nose of a mongrel pig to
frighten him from the path of progres
sion, shad better never undertake pio
neering.
Next to possessing no pig whatever,
Is posSessing one with a two foot nose.
Becanse - there was no other class of i pig
to be had, Will bought one of this kind.
Hioviw a young animal, and did not
Litil,ie a two foot nose, for the 'simple
reason, at his entire length amounted
to but 24- i2'ehes. But his nose prom
ised well. His ears were stationed pre
cisely in the center of his 24 inches.—
From thence lie sloped on one - hand in
to nose, and on the other' Into tail—a
tail devoid of curl ; for the native pig
in his struggle for i'silitence has too
thtioh rooting on hand to pay much re
gard to his personal a pearanoe.
Our pig, which `l`, na Straightway
named ` lohabod,' W rather slimly
built, and his legs re indicative of
speed anti agility rat r than of ham.
But lehtt,bod had a fi e appetite, and
i i.
heikneW how to lift up his voice at
lunch tie, in a style that argued well
f I
for the ture regularity of his meals.
Will ina, e a pen fdr him in the center
of a rum ntio group of oaks, and be
cause he was sd appealingly small, and
the dead grass had been eaten for a wide
ispace by tires; 'Rena and I gave him a
'generous bundle of straw from our own
plethoric bed.
We regarded him, as . he stood with
his fore feet in the trough, eating With
artless eagerness his, first dinner, and
speculated •on the breadth his narrow
shoulders would semi take on, and the
speed with' which hid lean form would
soon be converted into sugar-cured
hams and spiced sausage. Tena tlio't
it was cruel to regard him in this way.
Tena has that elethent of sweetness and
teuderuess which is very lovely in pio
neer life, when combined with healthy
common sense ; and I told her so.
Weeks parsed awy, and Ichabod, in
spite of his ample fare, could still see
out of his eye;, and never for once did
he think of sitting down in that help-,
less y fat manner exhibited in the pig

der Franklin Pierce it came down to
$80,9%900. It was reduced in 1857,
Buclia»au's first year, to $29,060,886;
but rose annually after that, until in
1860 it amounted to $64,769,703. Under
Abraham Lincoln's admlntstration the
rebellion raised it to $1,740,690,489.
When all was counted up, July 81, 18-
05, our maximum national debt was
$2,755,995,275, on which the total inte
rest charge was' nearly 152 millions.—
The debt on March 1, 1871, was reduced
to $2,283,145,431, and the interest to less
than 115 millions. The course of the
present administration has been to pay
off the debt and also reduce not merely
the amount but the rate of interest.
The English debt is older and larger
than the'American ; and the most san
guine expeotation, the wildest imagi
nation, dues not dream that it, or any
substantial part of it, can ever be paid
off. It began in 1691, under the reign
of Williaro and Mary, its amount be
ing $15,050,000. It rose, under them,
Anne and George I, to $214,254,9in

It is rather difficult, as yet, to state
the amount of the national debt of the
French. At the closeof 1869 Remoun
ted to $2,852,695,870. But there was ad
ded to this by the legislative body, on
July 16, 187lii, a loan of $160,000,009, vo
ted to defray the cost of the war against
Germany ; ilud, on October 5,187 d, the
Provisional I Government of ; national
defense raised a loan of $50,000,000. At
the close of l i B7o, therefore. France ow
ed $3,202,695 870. The whole cost of
the German ar, including the indem
nity and the l ireet outlay, is estimated
at $1,750,000,000, of which $500,000,000
was raised th- other day by a loan in
France. The interest _on the cost of in
