mans with tbe Democrats in an off yearlike the present may work mischief totbe Republicans. . Tbe Republicans In18S0eleeted their ticket by about 2,10fnalorfty.

Foot Rot . in Sheep. ProfessorStalker, of the Iowa Agricultural Col-lege, gives to tbe Homestead tbe follow-ing cure for foot rot In sheep : The fol --

lowing will apply to the majority ofcase of simple foot rot: All looseflakes of horn should be caref nlly '

pajredoff and tbe hoofs trimmed to a probershape. The foot should be thoroughlycleaned and carefully done up in a tarbandage. We. simply put on tar andbandage with a bit of strong cloth.- - Ifthere, is much ulceration, a chronic sorehaving been formed, touch the surfacewith a solution, one part sulphuric orhydrocliloria acid, and three parts water.Dress as above. The animal should bekept where as little wet and filth aspossible will reach tbe feot. ; .

A good deai, of grain and rough foodare wasted every' winter because feed-- 'ers are careless in selecting places Jurfeeding. 'Where one does not wish toresort to tbe use of racks, the selectionof high or at least dry grouud is essen-tial to ain thing like economy in tbe useof food. No man should feed in tbemud.- Resides ihe wastefulness ef thepractice, it - not good lor the stock. Theweight of ainorig feeders isdecidedly in favor of at least some shelter for stocK, and one idea of shelter isto get a clean p.a'"e to feed.

Maps of Egypt may soon become interesting again, though as yet importantmovements are confined to the provincessouth of Egypt proper. The false proph-et's triumphs" prove more- importantand fearful than were at first, reported;Ue has conquered the Egyptian commanders in seven pitched battles, andhas wreaked fearful veDgeance on cap-tives Jwho will not recognize his mis-sion. They have been tortured frightfully, and it is even reported that someof them have been eaten by tbe cannibals who follow bis tram. This may bereceived with some degree of allowance.At last accounts be was preparing tobesiege Kbartouin, a city of 20,000 in-

habitants, and the capital of Soudan. Itlies at' the junction oft the Blue andWhite' Xiles, and its possession ' is ofgreat importance.. The prophet's fol--i

lowers are said to outnumber sX to onethe defenders of Kbartoum, and shouldbe capture tbe place, will move northward toward uairo. ue nas a longmarch and many, obstacles before him,but the popular heart has . been fired bythe isritisn invasion, ana ne is ltKeiy toget aa abundauce of recruits-- It willhardly do to say that the Egyptian ques-tion has been settled by Arabi'8 defeat.

Mr. Blaine's Advice.Mr. Blaine has written a letter to the

chairman of the Republican State; Com- -

inittee of Delaware, in which he announces his inability tb fulfil his long-standing engagement, to speak in thatStale, and ' urges, the concentration ofeffort to elect Republican. Congressmen.His advice is good, and is accompaniedwith some remarks on the situationwhich ; deserve careful consideration,even in Ohio, where . the advice, comestoo late to be of use. Mr. Blaine saysthat for the remainder of this campaignRepublicans everywhere ."should; bendtheir energies to securing a majority inthe next House of Representatives.Whatever causes of just discontent rosy

exist with the S'ate noui '.nations un-

fairly and. injuriously thrust upon theparty, and whatever means may be taken to resent such wrongs and' repelsuch indignities, it is evidently the dutyof all trut- - Republicans to use ;eyeryhonorable-- ffurt to hold control of, theoopular' branch of Coneress. In thatbranch is lodged tho power to originaterevenue bills, and that carries with itthe incidental power of fostering or dis-

abling the entire, industrial system ofthe country. The Republicans ma) besafely trussed to do the first i

' trtre is

seiibus danger that the Democrats ni jghtdo the second." i

Political Notes.- i.....

Ex:Goveruor Jewell, of Connecticut,believes that his State will go Republi-can, but fears that the Demorats willgain one member of Congress. '.

. J ":.

,:Tberaare more, than thirty candidatesin the held foui9 nine seats Wisconsinwill havein-th- next. - House. Some ofthe districts have as many as six aspirants, while others content- themselveswith two. ;. - . : . . . . I .

It is expected that, the Republicanswill make decided gains in Kentuckyat the coming Congressional election. AXtw York' Times correspondent fromi.ouisvine writes that they are almost certain .of the Third,. Ninth andTeuth districts, with good chances intbreeothere. ' . ..' ..

A few evenings !aga Judge "JerryBlack presided at a political meetings atYork, Pa. On taking the chair .he said:"1 hardly Intended to be herebut I saw in a little newspaper that.1 udge Black would now have to showhis hand in this campaign. There theyare," and he gracef uliy held forwardboth hands. --' "There ia no stain on themThey never held a bribe." - :

Gen. Singleton, the Independent Democratic candidate for Congress in tbeTwelfth Illinois district, is making thecanvass uncomfortably warm ' for hisDemocratic rival. His friends havestarted a campaign paper, which theyannounce will be - contributed free, andthat those who do not like the termsDeed not subscribe. In the city of Quin-cy-

it is claimed that Singleton will re-

ceive nearly a solid vote."

The National Apple Crop.The apple crop of last year was a light

one and prices ware high in consequence.According to the old tradition, that al-

ternate years produce heavy crops, apples should be plentiful and oheap thisyear, suob, however, will not be theease, as, from . all accounts,; the applecrop of 1882 will not be much in excessof that of tbe preceding year. Tbe yieldin the Xew England States is fair, bntnot over-abunda- In many portionsof ew York the crop Is very light, andm others of a medium character only.The New Jersey : orchards have; donepretty well. The failures to the east-ward, however, will be compensated forby the oetter ana more aounaant cropsof the West,' Tbe.: young orchards ofOhio, Kansas, and Missouri : have bornelargely, and the fruit is pronounced ofexcellent : quality. New York dealersdeclare that no better apples are mark-eted than those from tbe West. Export-ers of applos are of the opinion that theWinter price; of apples will range--fro-

threo to four.dollars per barrel, and maypossibly go bigher.'sA.fair export tradeis going on. at the present time and tbeshipments to- .Europe in a single weekrecently ; amounted to- - twenty-thre- e

thousand barrels; The varieties exported in former years were Baldwins, Newtown pippins, and greenings,, but thisyeaMhe English dealers are inquiringfor fine table fruits-- like the Ben Davisand wine-sap.'- :- In addition to the exporttrade; drying will no much-.-towar- niaking high prices for apples.- The demandfor tbe dried fruit increases with eachyear, and-i- t is thought that those

in this particular, .business willuse up a very large proportion of thisyear's crop. Cle.y,eland .Leader. ' ,'.

About Spelling.Mark Twain has his little fling at

those peculiarities of English spellingwhich : retard the proficiency of ;dullscholars. He says; ' '.""''i';i.

T litre are one hundred and feurteepthousand words in the unabridged dic-tionary. I know a lady who' can spellonly one ' hundred ' and! eighty of themrighV.t'She steers cloar of the rest, bhecan't learn .any; more. So her lettersalways consist of those constantly, re-

curring one hundred and eighty words.Aow and. then,when she Onus nerseltobliged to write upon a subbject whichnecessitates the use of some other words,

he well, she don t write upon that.subject.

1 have a relative in New York whois most sublimely gifted. She can'tspell any word right There is a gamecalled Verbarlnm. A dozen people areeach provided- - with a sheet of white pa-per, across the top of which is written along word like kaleidoscopical, or some-thing like that, and the game is to seewho can make, up the most words outof that in three minutes, always begin-ning with tbe initial letter of. the wrd.

Upon one occasion the word cbesenwas cofferdam.' " When time was calledeverybody had built from five to twenty words, except this young lady, bhehad only one word calf.: We all studied a moment, and then said, "Why,there- is no I in cofferdam." Then .weexamined her paper.

To tbe eternal honor of that uninspired, unconscious, sublimely, independentsoul, be it said she had spelled thatword caff I If anybody here can spellcalf more sensibly than that let hirestep to the front. i

in Washington at the present- time isKatharine Chase Sprague,' who resideson her' large and beautiful ectate t.ofEdge wood, about i miles from theCapitol, with her daughters Ethel, Portia, and Katharine, whose' several agesare twelve, nine, and seven . years.,. Herresidence-i- s situated on the brow of ahill, within a short ride of Glen woodCemetery, and a few rods from a by-

road, which .leads from' --"forth Capitolstreet in an. easterly diiection. It is anancient structure, having: been , erectedin the early part of the present centuryby Col. 'Berry, one of the original set-

main of about 50 acres, on wbichwas itOnce proposed to erect1 a:-- summer resi-
