Shemer Saves Food. Every koopei of animals wo'ild actually profit by a littiejstudy of cherahitry aUd physiology. Here is a 3hor; lesson : All kinds of food, as hay, grain, bread, meat, etc, an? like wood, mainly composed of charcoal (carbon) and Water, with considerable nitrogen in some of them. To prove this, strongly heat stay of the above food materialy in a coal pit, or lie Iter, undei glass. Water with aome nitrogen gas, will be driven off and con bo found in the glass receiver, while only chnrooaj will remain. Let in more air and the charcoal itself will unite with the oxygon of the atmosphere, and also go "off as transparent, invisible carbonio acid gas. This chemical action seta at liberty heat that was before concealed or insensible, ' the same as w hen coal is burned rapidly in a stove, produeting an active fire ; or as when wood decays, but gives oft"' heat so slow as not to bo observed. Exactly the same thing occurs when any food is diaaolvfd (digested) in the stomaeh of aniaiflls r icn, atid is taken into the blu-itl oi-l m r.ri t- ail par.i-.of the body lTi blooH "ti oxy;: '.' : 'sn: from the air in the tr-h , uul nrn.-s it all through tiebiy.

Nature provides that the body shall always be kept warm, otherwise it would quickly perish : and so if the oxygen in the blood don't tbsd food enough to keep up the internal Ivor, it will attack and consume any fat or fiVsh stored in the body, and thus rnako the animal poor.

not when you get it you'll hare uo teeth tojjcbew it with, so you mustn't build too

Tie yourself to him, young man, and he'll pull you through all right. He ia rough and rugged as all mountaineers are, but don't bo afraid of him on that account. Don't despise his homely f armont. Ha is a brave, true-hearted fellow, who has led thousands safely through, and will do the same for you, if you trust him, A Snake Artist. Nobody knew how he got in; but he was there, and after borrowing a chew of tobacco from the police reporter he banded his oiird to the managing editor : As.

"I've written all tho boss snake yarns j;a the West for. tho Inst .ten years," "Bring nay ' sketches ' with you?" ' Well, no ; bat I can get one up in a few momenta." He sat down in the religious editor's pla.'e and in five minutes handed over the. 'following, with an up-State date line ; " On tho morning pf Wednesday of this weok little Ettie 'Strayon, the "two-year-old daughter of one of the wealthiest aud most influential members of this community, mot with an adventure which might bo regarded as incredible, lint for tho fact that it is vouched for by reliable witnesses. She got lobt in a neighboring forest and was chased by a huge snake, which emerged from a deserted hut in a wild ravine, where it had been lending a hermit's life, subsisting on wild horbs and eking a precarious income by tolling fortunes. When the child saw the terrible monster she was almost paralyzed by fright, but with a superhuman effort regained possession of her faculties and began to flee. She was, however, fated to be overtaken, as the serjient pursued and caught up with her before she had gone tea miles. Then he opened hin mouth and prepared to devour her, when ail at once his attitude changed. Inistead of currying out this resolution, to the exceeding surprise of his intended victim, the monster srioothed her hair and patted her little elicekfs and, gently releasing a 5,000 diamond brooch from her throat, pinned it in hit shirtfront and walked reflectively away. Tho friends of the child found her soon afterward, and on learning her strange story went to look for his snakeship. They found him hitting in frout of his hut studying the Cape May time table, with a view of becoming a watering phvoc hotel clerk." The editor assured Mr. Dyne that he possessed too much genius to be permitted to run otlarge, so he employed him to write obituary noti'eea.

(From the Chicago Trlbdne.) The public statement recently mode ?by the : Ghairmtai of the Rcpubliean State-. Central Committee, and Of the National Greenback Labor Central Com- ' mitteo it Mississippi, shows that the shotgun and the various atrocities of tho bulldozer are not the only methods by which the Bourbons have kept down tho Republican majority in that State. Their statement confirms what has often been alleged, namely : that the most shamelesn acts of fraud have been com-
iuil ted under the open sanction of those
whofje duty it was to uphold the parity of tlve o ojtion laws. The crowning fraud was perpetrated at tho last Snato election. In this contest, Benjamin King was the - Gubernatorial candidate of the Republicans, Greenbfickors and Independent Democrats, who coalesced and united upon one ticket to defeat the Burbons, whose ticket was headed by Robert Lowry. The fraud commenced by eheating the combination party out of its commissioners and inspectors of election, whoso appointment -dovolves by law. upon the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State. In twenty-nine counties, which aro strongly Republican, the oomiaiasioners and inspector' appointed were ia complete sympathy with the Bourbons, or, in some cases, were ignoriint, incompetent and timid negroes instead of the competent representatives selected by the Republicans and their allies. Having "packed" the list of commissioners and inspectors as the first BU-p, the methods of fraud to be practiced were reinforced by the methods of violence which for ten years past have been in vogue in the Bourbon-ridden and nogro-kilUug State. Meetings were broken up, midnight .gangs of ruffians threatened violence to colored voters, n:i 1 even at the polls cavalcades, of- i-ed-shirtcd ruflians, heavily armed, rode up and scared away the timid. At i he polls every conceivable form of swindling was practiced. Boliot-boxes. were openly stuffed. Tally-iiheets were, revonied, the votes cast for the anti-Bourbo.ns being counted for the Bourbons. 'Vho names of voters were scratched off tho registry lists. In numerous cases -the bat lot-boxes were carried off and kept several days by die Bourbons, and were, returned after their contents hod been fixed up to sub their candidate. All this' could bo easily done, because even in districts where anti-Bourbon commissioners and inspectors were allowed they were not the intelligent and competent persons selected by the committees, but negroes picked out by the Bourbcaw, and wore too timid to act, or too ignorint to read and write, or too iueoniuetsnt to know what was going on. What the result was, under suoh manipulation of votes-as this, is shown by the folio wmg anasis of the figures nit.de by the Chairmen of committees. The returns thins far made show a total of 127,723 votes, of which King (autiBourbon) has bijiiii and Lowry 76,365. The voting strength of the whites is about 95,000, and of the colored population 1311,000. The colored vote is Republican, and to this, if there had been a f air election, would have been added the Greenback vote and that of the discontented Democrats. Only threefifths of the votes were east. What the -political character of the remaining - two-fifths was it is not difficult to infer. In the twentyfour strongest anti-Bourbon counties the Bourbons rolled np their heaviest majorities. How that was accomplished it is not dilticult to infer. . In the whole State, upon a three-fifth's vote, the Bourbons ostensibly secured 25,000 majority. If there had been a fair election it is easy enough to see that the antiBourbon candidate would have received an immense majority, and, even as it is, the Chairmen believe that a majority of 40,000 was actually cast for him, mid, of course, tiounted out, or rather not counted at all, bnt thrown out, or turned over in a lump to the Bourbon candidate. How much longer is this abominable political iniquity to be tolerated t Is there no honesty or decency in the State of Mississippi'1 Apparently the only hope is to wait until the wave of nntiBourbonism which started in Virginia and is gaining some headway in North and South Carolina and Georgia reaches Mississippi. Even then, will the downtrodden, ierseouted and terrorized voters have the courage to rally ? vry other issue should be thrown aside, and voters of every class who are honest and lawabiding' men, M ho believe iu vindicating the law snd establishing and rnnit taming the purity of the ballotdiox, ought to unite, whatever their political-principles may lie, in an overwhelming onslaught against the frauds and corruption of the Bourbons. Hurl them from power fiist Re-establish honesty of elections, and tettleiKiliticid issues nfterward. That is the duty of the people of Mississippi. THE TME 0 SQUELCH BOORBON1HM. .The crushing defeat of Bourbonism in Virginia and tho assembling of a Congress which at last has the power in its hands suggest, that now is an opportune time to put a c;uiotu on BaurbonUm, to re enfranohyse Southern Republicans, and to secure lair elections in the Southern States. Congress cannot take a step this session which will bo greete.l with nioro acolamat.on in tho North as commendable and patriotic in every way. The defeat of the Bourbons ia Virginia has iuspiied a hope among the people in other Southern States that at last there

There can be no doubt that there was ripen and infamous fraud practiced. When such a paper as the Vioksburg Hhild, which Auptiorted Chalmers, declares that he obtained his coitificate of election by fraud, by bulldozing nut", ballot-box stuffing, Republicans' ought hot to hesitate loug. as to their -duty toward Chalmers. . But he is not the only one who was not elected, and who lias no right to hss seat. Le 'tl: e claims i:f every one of these sent-fttas'.Iers lie ex oniined, and then let 'thetn lie thrown out without gftice or delay, so that those who have a rightful claim to the seats can take them. It is time these Southcan Bourbons wero taught t' wtlhey euunot practice the methods of the past ten years any longer, and that Southern Republicans should fed that they are not entirely deserted. Future Prospects of the Republican Party. : . The same evidence of political diiintegrajion are to bo seen in all sections oi! the conuiry.

Vhiladi Ipt.ia Times (Iian.y, The Time is mistaken. There never was. a lime when tho Republican party organisation was as formidable as at this hour, it seems to us almost a certainty already that the nominee of the next Republican National Convention for President will be elected. The Republicans have since the death of Garfield carried New York, though ex-Senator Conkling was sick, and have carried Virginia, securing a majority fn the Senate. Thej have also elected a Speaker of the House with the greatest ease, and it should nob be forgotten that they re-elected Charles Foster Gavernor of Ohio by a majority vote. Tlie next thing they will admit Dakota Territory as a State, and decide a few contested seats in the House in their own favor, securing a working majority in both Houses of Congress. Several Southern States will follow the example of Virginia, ' North Carolina will do so at the earliest opportunity. The Solid South is no more. The Democrats have nothing to win with against this power. They are in contusion on the tariff and finances. They are inexpert in taxation, internal and external, and money matters. Mr. Pendleton's little civil-service reform diversion is well enough in its way, but it would not stand the wear and tear of a rough campaign. Cincinnati Com-pv.reiaL
Snceess f High Farming In Belgium, Tho magnificent farming of Belgium on poor soil is duo to, first, the per-ioi-.tion of both plow and spado work ; second, each field has a perfection of sliapo given to it to facilitate cultivation aud drainage ; third, most careful husbanding of the manure ; fourth, the great variety of crops, especially ot industrial plants, such as colza, flax, tobacco, bops, chicory, etc., fifth, second or "stolen" crops, such as turnips and carrots, English clover, sparry, etc., whereby the cultivated area is iu effect increased one-third ; sixth, nbundanoo of fool for cattle. Although the soil is not favorable to meadows, yet, taking the second crop into account, one half of the available superficies is devoted to the keeping of live stock. Seventh, house-feeding of cattle, by which the cows give both more milk and more manure. Eighth, minute weeding. The Belgian laborer goes with his wheelbarrow to the village to buy a sack or two of guano, undertaking to pay for it after the harvest. The dealer trusts him, gives him credit, having a lien on the crop produced by the aid of his manure. In November he gets his money ; the produce has been doubled and the land improved. The small farmer does just as the laborer does. Eaeh opens an aocount with the manure-dealer, who in the best of all hankers. Flemish small farmers invest from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 in guano every year, and quite as much in other kinds of manure. M. Do Laveley says: "The Flemish farmer scrupulously collects every atom of sewage from the towns ; he guards his manare like a treasure, puts a roof over it to prevent the rain and sunshine from spoiling it ; he gathers mud from rivers and canals, the excretions of animals along tho highronds and the ways, for conversion into phosphates."
