Our opponents foiled in their en- deavor to "saw off" two other rid- ings for North Victoria ; worsted in their move to defeat us by their withdrawal of the petitioner; and seeing nothing before them now but certain exposure in the courts, are resorting to intimidation. They are passing the word far and wide that any man who admits having been bribed is liable to be sent to jail. This would be a nice feature in the law. Boodlers first bribe or seek to bribe electors, and then tell them, "Now if you inform or swear the truth you will go to jail." Such is not the law, and the boodle brigade of North Victoria will find out to their sorrow that electors in numbers will admit the truth when placed in the witness box. An elector need not tell bow he voted. He may step into the box and tell simply that he was off- ered a bribe. He need not tell whether or not he accepted it ; and need not say how he voted. There fore, does the "soars" of the grit boodle brigade amount to nothing. Electors in numbers have already testified to the coruption of the bri- gade's actions. Every week adds new evidence. Let every elector who was improperly approached come forward like a man and tell the truth. Evidence sent to us will he placed in proper form, the names of our informants when requested being preserved secret. Kindly, let no side issues prevent the truth from coming out. The public will think more of a man for telling the truth. —Victoria Warder. --e �. THE CABINET OF THE UNI- TED STATES. By Senator Jobn J. Ingalls. . A nation is the aggregate intelli- gence, wealth, energy., traditions, purposes, and conscience of the peo- ple by whom its territory is in• habited. Like the individuals of which it is composed, it has suc- cessive stages of existence, is born, becomes adolescent, matures, decays and dies. The government of a nation is the agency through which its sovereignty is exorcised. Monarchy is the rule of one man ; aristocracy of she wealthy and intelligent classes; democracy of the majority of free citizens. Though differing in name and method, the functions to Le performed by each are the same: the control and direction of the authority of the State in deal- ing with its own subjects, and with the only members of the great family of nations. Under each system there must be a Chief Executive, King, Emperor, or President, through whom the national will is exerted, and the duties being more than one man can personally perform, ho is assist- ed by subordinates iutrusted with the a ministration of the affairs of di Brent departments of the public service. Collectively the persons so employed are walled in Europe the Ministry, and in the United States the Cabinet. In Great Britain the ministry is formed by some prominent party leader who is designated by the sovereign to organize a cabinet. He selects from his political friends those who agree with him in policy, generally taking for himself the place of premier or prime minister. The official membership of the min- istry is not always identical, and as it is a body not. recognized by- - r_. '1f Errghturt itrr-ai.'tw and., orders are promulgated thro'Igh the privy council. It contains meta - with nmont of is tltorefo • eotuelly a srnment by Parlianlen art' come tnittees, and is to that extent a repos seetative democracy, refleptipg the pop' lar will more directly than that of the United States, where the President and hie Cabinet are frequently at variance with the ra4grity of one or both houses of Congress. Under the Constitution of the United States the subordinate exe- cutive functions are distributed among eight departments created by sot of Congress, and filled by ap- pointment by the President, subject to confirmation by the Senate. They form a body of assistants, ad- visers, and clerks to the President for which the name Cabinet has been adapted from the political nomenclature of England. - TheSecretary of State is regarded as first in rank among the members of the Cabinet. He is charged with the duties pertaining to correspond- ence with public ministers and con- aule of the United States, with representatives of foreign powers accredited to the United States, and to negotiations of whatever charas ter relating to our foreign affairs. He is also the medium of corres- pondence between the President ani the chief executive of the sev- eral States of the United States; has custody of the great seal, and countersigns and affixes such seal to all executive, proclamations, to vari- ous commissions, and to warrants fqr pardon, and the extradition of fugitives from justice. He is the custodian of treaties made with foreign states, and of the statutes of the United States; grants and issues passports and exequatura to foreign consuls in the United States. He publishes the laws and resolutions of Congress, amendments, and pro• clamations declaring the admission of new States into the Union. He is also charged with certain annual reports to Congress relating to com- mercial information received from dipomatic and consular officers. He has three assistant secretaries, six chiefs of bureaus, and seventy clerks and • other. employes. The other seven members of the Cabinet have a proportionate number of assistant secretaries, chiefs of bureaus, clerks and other employee. The members of the Cabinet re- ceive an annual salary of $8,000. They meet in a chamber at the White House at stated intervals, and whenever directed by the President ; but their conferences are not public, and their consulta- tions are seldom divulged. The President presides, but no journal of the proceedings is kept and the names of those who attend are not recorded. They report to the Presi- dent annually in writing for trans- mission to Congress, and from time to time upon special matters if re- quired by him. They hold their places entirely at his wilt, discharge their duties under his exclusive direction, and he can require their resignation at his pleasure. They are not responsible to Congress or to the people for the policy or the conduct of the administration. This, rests with the President alone.' Within the broad and flexible limi- tation of the Constitution during his term no ruler possesses such absolute authority and irresponsible power as the President of the Unite ed States, A FARMERS' COMBINE.

Bishop, Vivian, Ont. tug t'e""•bowery old, lit the book of the house ; the tiger -lilies and clove pinks were; in blossom under -the window, and far-off and clear, in the silence, you could hear the "swish, swish" of Abel and tXatthew'a scythes on the bill; and Naomi Russet, putting back the curls from her forehead, looked out on the sunny fields and sighed softly to herself. - 'Such a day-fer the Sunday -school picnic I' meditated she. 'How I should' like to have gone, if only I had possessed a dress fit to wear. I have never even seen the new minister yet, and I'm sure I could have played croquet as well as any girl there ; and the striped tents on the lawn would have been ouch fun. But I won't have Josie Merrill sneezing at my last summer's hat, and I think it would mortify me to death to hear Amabel Ryde laugh at ms faded muslin dross. Ah i'—with a second deep sigh— `to think of all the berries I picked to buy that lovely rose colored muslin, and how shockingly the colors washed out the very firet time it went into the tub!' 'Naomi!' screamed the shrill voice of her aunt Russet from the stairs above, 'are them tarts baked I' 'Baked and cooling on the win- dow sill.' said Naomi with pardon- able pride. Twelve of them. Real beauties, too.' She looked with an artist's eye an the tender, dainty little tarts, where the deep, wine crimson of the raspberries blushed beneath a delicate net work of flaky crust ; for Aunt Russet had work -people' to board in the haying season, and these same sons of the soil had a very fair idea of what good board meant. 'How's the custard ?" said Aunt Russet. 'Just gone into the oven,' answer- ed Naomi. 'Well, when they're done, put in the meat -pie,' directed Mrs. Russet. 'And run out and pick the peas and look if the summer -cabbage is big enough to pull; and mind you don't forget to take a good sized piece of pork out of the brine to cook with the boiled beef.' Naomi frowned to herself in the seclusion of the cool kitchen until her black brows nearly met. 'Pork !' said she to herself in what would have been a soliloquy had she been dramatically inclined. 'And peas ! And bread to bake ! And the dishes to wash ! Oh, dear, why wasn't I born a lady, so that I might have been playing croquet under a striped tent, this morning, instead of cooking dinner for my aunt's boarders I' And flinging a blue gingham sun- bonnet over her black curls, Naomi left the cup of custard beside the raspberry -tarts and flitted out into the garden, here stopping to smell of a scarlet -velvet cluster of sweet - Williams, there gathering a tuft of silvergreen love in a mist, until at last she settled down before the high hedge of marrowfat giants, while the peapods rattled merrily down into her tin milk -pan like a shower of green hail. There is nothing in the occupa- tion of picking peas to forbid thought. And as Naomi w on, she dreamed a bright, lei bio dream, wherein she had esc from toil, drudgery, all dwa details, and stretched the win her soul in upper air. For Naomi Russet had been cated for a teacher. Her artisti ture had been cherished,her int had been fostered ; and then death, poverty, desolation, an all ad 01', ice oh, all of ket ich er eas ro- tof a— the the her be- res- oor, w e was c ose 'y, a e pus e. him down the stairs, and then drawing the outside bolt, slfe paused for breath, 'Aunt Russet I" she shrieked up the stairs, 'Come down • quick with the old musket, and keep guard on this robber until I call Mat and Abel from the field.'

'Well Molise Megley did say something at the aewin' circle, yesterday; about there bein' tramps around, but we live so kind of out•o'-the-way here that I didn't trouble much about it Run,, NaJmi, as fast as you can, for if he bangs ag'in' the cellar -door, while you are gone I know I shall drop down dead with fright I' Away aped Naomi, fleeter than any Atalanta, through the bloomy hedges, across the fallen tree which spanned the brown waved trout - brook, and up the hill to where Matthew and Abel were cutting down long swaths of fragrant grass. 'Boys !' she cried, breathlessly, 'I've caught a tramp ! Come ! Mike haste ! He's down cellar 1 And your mother is watching the door with your father's old musket!' Abel dropped his scythe ; Mat- thew held hie in mid a, glittering and sharp, as if he meant to out somebody's head off. And then they started full run down the hill, with Namni still leading the van. 'Mother, give me the musket !" said Matthew, and he reached the cellar -door, flushed and out of breath. 'Open the door, Abel ! I'll soon settle this villain !' While Mrs. Russet got behind the stairs, and Naomi, thrilled with the righteous pride of conquest, stood at the locked kitchen door, so that the flying captive might be de- prived even of that apparently im- practicable means of egress. Slowly, cautiously, as befitted the stress of the moment, Matthew Rus- set opened the door. 'Now, then,' said he 'come out here, or I'll know the reason__ Why i' suddenly changing his tune, 'it's Mr. Maddox ! It's the new minister ! I beg ten thousand par - done, sir. I don't see how this can possibly have happened! Naomi; child, come here.' 'Oh,,, no offense in the world,' said the tall, pleasant -looking cul- prit emerging from his damp cell, with the plaid shawl picturesquely draped over one shoulder and the condemnatory basket still on his arm, 'It was a little sudden, just at first, and I'm afraid the tarts that Mrs. Crumbleton sent me for are crushed into 'pi'—but there has evidently been a misunderstanding some where. No doubt, things can be explained satisfactorily.' 'Mrs. Crumbleton I' echoed Mr's. Russet, 'why, Mrs. Crumbleton lives in the next house, where there's a bay -window and three Gothic chim- neys.' Mr. Maddox made a laughing gesture of dismay, 'Then,' said he, 'the mistake is mine. We didn't have enough good things for the little folksatable, you see, so we all went foraging—the church -warden, Mr. Dale, the two Steelkirks and I. And I was de• tailed in this direction, where, un fortunately, I was not quite sure as to localities. Mrs. Crumbleton told me to come to her pastry -room and could ing 'Do you suppose,' sal. 1e, p antly, 'that I bear malice fo merest mis';ake in the world? are friends ; let us shake upon it.' . And then Naomi felt consol After all, the tarts were n jured, although the cup cu were badly damaged. Naomi Abel walked as far as the higl with the young clergyman, an all got to laughing over the m of that morning, like three s children.

From which soliloquy it may be inferred that Mr. Maddex was not at all unfavorably impressed by the country maiden. And Naomi?

NEW IDEAS FOR FARMERS POINTERS ON AGRICULTURE WORT -11 KNOWING. American Farm, Jonrnal. - When ensilage began to receive attention many scientitie experi- ments at once attacked it, claiming that it was almost worthless, and that it did not pay for the labor be- , stowed upon it. The objections then matte were correct, for the ensilage of that day was very differ• ent from that of the present time. There were, however, many strong advocates of ensilage, who claimed for it many advantages that its op- ponents would not admit. The fact was that each party formed his opinion of ensilage from his own standpoint, and it was only after farmers understood how to grow corn for ensilage was there unani- mity, as it is now safe to assert that no one is at present opposed to ensilage as cattle feed. The use of corn for ensilage gives farmers a great advantage, as it produces a larger amount of food and at less cost than with any other material. The difficulty with those who did not favor ensilage was that they supposed it should be com- posed of very young fodder, full of water and in a green condition. Those who found it valuable were those who allowed the corn to grow to maturity, cutting it just as the ears began to glaze, by so doing allowing the crop to reach that stage in which it has has derived from the soil as much nourishment as possible, and also arresting in the stalk the elements that were on their way to complete the seeds. The very young corn, on the contrary, was composed so largely of water as to render it of but little value, and when cut at such an early stage of growth did not fulfil the expecta- tions of those who relied upon it as an important adjunct to dairying. As an acre of corn for ensilagel produces an enormous amount of succulent -food, and at the lowest possible cost, tt will be found valu- able in many ways It is not best to feed it exclusively, for animals thrive better on a variety, but it affords succulent food in winter of a very nourishing character, and thereby not only promotes diges- tion and thrift, but increases the flow of milk and lessens the amount of hay and grain required. The dairy- man who has a silo filled with ensilage can feed his stoat at less coat, will seoure a larger product and can sell at a lower price, With greater profit than can the farmer who feeds on dry food. That ensilage is now regarded as a staple food is shown not only by its advocates, but also by the fact that all of. its .enemies have vanished from sight, and it is now unoppos- ed. OCTOBER ON THE FARM. Take up your geraniums, as they are very tender and are liable to be injured or any cold night. Coleus, cauuas and other orameutal plants quickly show the effects of a light frost. Coleus should be now potted, Caunas should he cleared off as soon as they wilt, and the tubers stored away in a dry place. The same precaution should he observed with dahlias. Raspberries cannot be manured too heavily. Nothing is so bene- ficial to them as a heavy coating of manure on the ground around them in winter. It requires but a short row of raspberries for a small fami- ly, and the -size of time berries large ly depends oil the fertility of the soil and manure given., If the ground is damp open a furrow between the strawberry rows, in order to keep the plants dry in rdy of t is ice. the ter, pit, ce of Any nese et clime to the surface every spring, are loudly extolled and go out of sight. The "best" strawberry has been dies covered often. Farmers should always test new varieties with a few plants only. Much depends on the soil and locality. A variety that is the beat in one section may be worthless in another. Old and tried varieties should never be discarded hurriedly. Improvement is being made at all times, and with all kinds of fruits, but when the farmer in brought in contact with so many varieties, each being claimed as the "best," he will be unable to select from them.

When storing the farm fmpfe.i- menta away brush thein otter with kerosene. It is excellent for pre- venting rust and for protecting against dampness. Nagy imple- ments are placed where they become covered with dust., which interferes with their nwvemenls in the spring. All implements should he kept clean. It is said that hog cholera de- stroys 10,000,000 hogs in the the States every year. It is possible - that all diseases are teamed hog cholera. The hog is fed on food that alone is sufficient to kill it, and, it is is not surprising that the lose - is so large. A swill barrel placed in the sun, foul in odor, alive with parasites, insects and disease genus,. is made the receptacle of the food of hogs, which is more or less poison-, ons by chemical action. When clean and wholesome food only 4s given the hogs there will he fewe'' complaints of the so-called hog cholera. All the stock should go into win- ter quarters in good condition. It is cheaper to keep a healthy animal in condition than to attempt to put flesh on one that is not. thrifty. The warmth of the body of an animal in the winter season is pro.. duced from the food. The more warmth created the more food. necessary. The more the animal is protected from cold the leas warmth to be provided. To save food, there- fore, the stock should be provided with good dry quarters, the most. important point being to guard against draughts of air from oracks or crevices. A hedge is ornamental, but a hedge should not be planted very close to plots of small fruits or gardens. It not only occupies quite a space of ground when well grown, but the roots from a vigorous hedge will feed on the soil for many feet on either Fide, thereby depriving the vines or vegetables of nourish, men t - It is better to plow under all green matter before frost than to allow it to die and dry, Green manure decomposes easily, but plants that have become dry sometimes remain in the ground a long time before decomposing. It is also much better to plow in the fall, if the land is heavy, in order to allow the frost to assist in pulverizing the soil. I In some sections, where apples are difficult to keep in a cellar, the best method adopted, after repeated ex- periments, is to pack the apples in boxes and bury the boxes in the ground. Only perfect apples, fully ripe and hand picked from time tree, will answer. Fallen apples or ap- ples ples that are in the least degree in- ured or diseased should be excluded, as they will injure those that are sound. The apples should not be picked until they have remained on time trees as long as possible.
