FRIDAY, OCTOHKR 12. 1804.

NKXT to the Democratic party sheep are the cheapest thing's in the market.

API'K.VKANCKS indicate that the people of New York had the Tammany tiger by the throat.

THK passage of the Gorman bill continues to exercise a depressing effect on the -wages of Amerieau workmen, and every day adds to the long list of wage reductions.

IT was Hill who warned his fellowSenators that if they passed the tariff bill with the income tax the States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut would become permanently Republican.

THK Shelbyville ncimbHi'tm puts it thus: This month a stirring campaign, next month Republican victory and a --month later natioual Thanksgiving is the part of the Columbian calendar now in sight.

IN the repeal of the Federal election law the Democratic part}* builded better than it knew. Every appearance indicates that the solid South will be broken. l»y its repeal the Democrats have lost a rallying cry.

AGUUTI/ITUK has been recognized as a most honorable pursuit by the leading men of our county, lieorge Washington was the owner of a large farm, to which he made extensive additions: like the Roman Emperor Constantine he had an abiding faith in the power of agriculture to make nations and so encouraged it by his example, as did many of his successors. Thomas Jefferson invented the side-hill plow: Adams. Calhoun, Clay and Webster spent their retirement in the country in the pursuit of agriculture, aud Ilenry Clay was expert in his younger days in mowing grass with the old-fashioned sevthe.

THK total number of farms in the nited States in JSIM) was 4.574.(HI, showing an increase of 13.60 per cent, since 1SS0: area of land in these farms, acres, showing increase of of Hi.25 per cent.: value of farm lands, including feuces aud buildings. 813,showing increase of 30.J' per cent.: value of farm implements and machinery. $41)4.247,407, showing 'increase of 21.5S per cent. value of live stock, S'J.208,747.573, increase of 47.21 percent, and of farm products.

S2.100.107.454. increase 11.1U per cent. This tells of the wonderful growth and prosperity of American agriculture. The greatest increq^e of wealth is found iu the States where agriculure is the largest interest.

THK following table shows the difference between the Cuban duties ou certain American products under the reciprocity treaty and those imposed since the treaty was abrogated:

The new duties are practically prohibitive, and will put an end to the importation of the American products named into Cuba.

KKMOCHATS AN1 Till? SOLI»I lilts. The Democratic management of the Pension Otfice cannot escape responsibility for its policy of antagonism toward the Union soldier by seeking cover behind decisions given under a Republican Administration. The record of Republican treatment of the veteran soldier speaks .for itself. Republican otlieials followed the law faithfully, but they also followed it liberally. They knew that the soldier drew no hard and fast line when he went to fight for his country, and they did not strain the letter of the law to defeat his claims when he in turi: appealed to his country for aid.

The l'ension office, under ex-Cm federate control, does strain the law against the soldier. It assumes him to be guilty of fraud by suspending his pension, and then requires him to prove his innocence before the pesion is restored, and thistoo. in face of the fact that, with the progress of years, witnesses to any event of the time of the war are dying off rapidly, and it is difficult, if not impossible, for pensioners to reproduce the evidence on which the pensions were originally granted. in other words, the l-'nion veterans are robbed of their pensions by being required to perforin the impossible.

Such is the spirit of the Democratic management of the Pension Office This spirit permeates the whole establishment. It controls every official whose tendencies may have been to wurd fair and generous treatment of the soldiers of the Union. It is a disgrace to American patriotism and American honor.

THE DAY OF HIS DEATH.

Why Mr. Arnold Oarewa Doea Not Boliovo in Droanja.

"My dear, I haTO had an Extraordinary droain." Sir. Arnold Carewe spoke with solemn emphasis, atone of gravity in his roice.

Scene—the sunny bieukfast-room of the Carewes time—nine iu the morning of a clear, cold winter day. Mrs. Carewe glanced over the top of the silver coffeo-urn at her-liege lord, with a look of mild interest in her deep, dark eyos. "A dreamt Why, Arnold, I thought you did not believe in such things!"she exclaimed. Then at the sight of the gravity of his face, her own grew concerned. "What was it?" she eagerly asked. "Well, of course, it was only a dream," returned Mr. Carewe "but, to say the least, it was odd that I should drtam the same thing over—iu every particular—exactly alike, three blessed times last night. It seems a little odd to be sure. Resides, I dreamed that 1 am to die upon a certain day, and a certain hour. My dear, I shall not tell you when, for it is not far distant, and the knowledge of it might make yon nervous, even though it is only a dream —and therefore not infallible."

Mrs. Carewe sat her coffee-cup down, and the small, white hand trembled visibly. "Oh, Arnold!" was nil that she could say. "Hut after all, we need put 110 faith ill a dream! It is like believing in a fortune teller's predictions. You remember how implicitly Will Itraddon used to believe that he was doomed to dio before his thirtieth birthday, just because two different predictions to that effect had been made concerning him? Well, it is three months and over since he passed safely into the thirties, and he is well and strong as ever. Hah! I have 110 patience with such foolishness. It is childish! Arnold, you must not think of suoli a thing!" "All right, my dear, I will not," returned her husband, obodien tl y. But in his heart he was saying: "I could no more help it than 1 can live without breathing. But at all events, now that I have warned Hessie, I will say no more to annoy her."

Breakfast over, Arnold Carewo went down to his office. It was Carewe A Carewe—a well-known law firm—and Arnold was senior partner his brother Jack comprised the rest of the firm.

As he entered the office, .lack, seated at a tall desk, glanced up with a strange look. "I say, Arnold, 1 had a dream about you last night, which made me a trifle uneasy," he began, "and, as you area little late this morning,I was beginning to fear that something was amir,3. Had you not come in as you did, I intended taking a cab and going up to your house. Gladyou'roall right,old fellow!"

A dream!" (aghast) ".So had I. What did you dream, Jack?" "Well, seeing you are all right. I'll tell you," returned Jack. "I dreamed that you are to die—don't look so pale, old bo.v you are not dead yet. but a long way from it—I dreamed you were todieou the 10th of January, exactly three weeks from to-day."

Arnold Carewe sank into a seat, and looked faint. No wonder! That was the exact date which his dream—three times repeated —hau indicated. But he controlled his nervousness, and turned to his brother with affected amusement. "Perhaps you dreamed the hour, too, whilo you were about it!" he jocosely observed. "Ho I did. January 10, as j'ou will see by glancing at yonder calendar, comes on Tuesday. My dream said that at twenty minutes past two, precisely, on Tuesday, January 10, you would depart this life!"

Arnold Carewe started to his feet trembling like a leaf. No wonder, for It was his own dream, in every particular. It seemed incredible. IJut he decided to say nothing to his brother as to the purport of his dream, but to patiently wait, and make all preparations for the great finale.

For a man to find that he has exactly three weeks—twenty-one days—tn which to live, is a Tory odd sensation. The murderer condemned to tho scaf fold feels very much as Arnold Cars we felt in the days that followed, lie went about like a man in a dream. He first "set hia house in order," making his will, attending to the various affairs of his'ibusinesR, paying off debts doing all that he could with a sort of satisfaction to make it easier for the wife and little ones soon to be left alone. They would be well provided for—that was a great blessing. And it was with a solemn 'sense of pleasure that lie arranged everything to the best of his ability, for tho welfare of the loved ones, soon to be loft alone. lie became very devout also. Every day he read the prayers In his little family circle and attended divine service on Sunday feeling a shudder of pervous dread rua over him when the Becond Sunday had gone, and he knew that only one remained to him.

It was wonderful how tenaciously the idea clung to his mind—tho positive belief that he was a doomed man, marked by Death as his prey. How gentle and kind and tender n* was to all at home. Perhaps, If more people oould develop similar hallucination, it might be better for tho peace of many a household. To be ever preparing for t"-ie great event would keep all of us gcntlo and kinder and more considerate.

Looking back upon that time in after years Betsio Carewe was obliged to admit that it was tho happiest, most peaceful time of all her married life.

I

Rut, of i-oui-M-. she kuetv ii'itlilngof lier husband's firm belief ill nis approaching demise. SI10 had. in fact, forgotten all ihout Arnold's odd dream, and ho had not explained to her its horrible exactness.

The days went by. Tho holidays— sad and sweetly solemn to the man who felt that they were tho very last he should ever see upon earth—were gone, I and the seventh day of January had come. Carewe now discarded his wutch, 1 placing it in his dressing-case, lie did not wish to see a timepiece. Only sev-enty-two Hours between him and the' great Uuknoivu—unless it had all been only a dream! Yet, that seemed quite' impossible. For why should the two! brothers have both droamed the same thing unless it was intended as a most solemn warning?

So carefully avoiding every timepiece, making all possible efforts to forget the fatal and fast-approaching hour, Arnold Carewe waited.

Tho 10th of January came and at last —a bright, wiuter day. lie arose in the morning, after a sleopless night, saying tohimselfi

Sly last day on earthl Uod help mel" lie looked so pale and woru and so evidently 111 that his wife bogged him to remain homo from the office that day.

And, as that was what he bad secretly intended doing, he consented As the fatal hour drew near—for he imagined it to be near the time—he made his way to the pretty guestchamber and lay down upon a soft couch. A fire had been kindled in the grate and the room was warm and cheerful. Over the fireplace upon a marble mantel a tiny clock was stand lng. Arnold Carewe turned his eyes resolutely away from it lie dia not wish to know the exact moment So he lay there, and gradually a slow feeling of torpor began to steal over him. His wife came into the room, and with her the two pretty children—he had told her to bring them. He took his loved ones in his arms and strained them to his heart in a passionate farewell, all the more solemn because he dared not tell Bessie that I10 believed himself to be dying. He was conscious of a feeling of gratitude that he had been warned In time.

After a time Bessie took the children away. Then she returned to Ills side with a glass of cordial.

Here, dear, drink this," she said, sweetly "it will help youl" obeyed her, and then lay watching the graceful figure, as she moved about the room.

At last his eyes, in spite of his determination to the contrary, wandered to the clock and rested there.

Good heavens! Ten minutes past two! "Bessie." ho moaned feebly, "comel

Then all grew dark before his eyes he felt like one stepping softly away then darkness fell.

Arnold! Arnold! wake up! 1 am afraid you will sleep too long! Jt is past six o'clock!"

Bessie Carewe bent over his prostrate form, und Arnold Carewe opened his eyes. "Am I in Heaven!" lie gasped. 'Dear me—no! You have been asleep ever since half-past two! I gave you a dose of uiy sleeping medicine in that glass of cordial. I know you have not slept for nights. Why, Arnold, what are you staring nt?"

For he was Bitting up now, gazing in the rosy lamplight at that clock. Still ten minutes past two! "Oh, yes," iiie lau ghed lightly "the clock Is broken. Don't vou remember the children were playing with it last summer, and broke the works? It has never been repaired. Why, Arnold, what is tho matter?"

For he was upon his feet now, and, seizing his wife in h's arms, swung her quite off her feet. His brain seemed turned with joy, it was ecstac.v the knowledge that he was still alive, and life and hope and love were his yet.

Then I10 told Bessie all. and she cried a little, but she said she was crying for

J°y"It'i almost as if you had died and come to life again," she said. "Oh, Arnold, let us be thankful."

And Andrew Carewe has never believed in dreams sinco that day.—Mrs. E. Burke Collins, in N. Y. Weekly,

Tli» Way of thr World.

See that man? He is broke. He was not always so. He used to hold his head high in the air and as far above his fellow men as he possibly could. He doesn't do so now, because he hasn't got the wherewith. The people with whom he used to associate still know him, but their greotiugs are not as warm and cordial as they used to be. You may have money to-day and you will have friends. When the former go the latter soon follow. If the latter go first they will invariably have tho former in their possession. The moral of this is, not to speculate.—Buffalo Times. —An Italian organ irrinder recently escuped a fine by his wit. He had been playing before the house of an irascible old gentleman, who furiously and amid wild gesticulations ordered him to move on. The Italian stolidly stood his ground and played on, and at last was arrested for causing a disturbance. At the court the magistrate asked him why he did not leave when he was requested. "Mo no understan' mooch

Inglese," was the reply. "Well, but you must have understood by his motions that he wauted you to go," said the magistrate. "1 t'ink he came to dance, was the reloinder.—lloseleaf.

An Epidemic Of Enthusiasm

That's what it is. It broke out last week when we made our fall announcement and placed on sale our new fall stock at about 20 per cent less than same quality of goods were ever ollered in a regular line of merchandise. Every reader of our ad. came to see u«. Everybody passing slopped. Some folks thought it was a mistake— wrong placards over the goods. Others didn't stop to ask any questions, just quickly said: "I'll take eight yards of that." "Give me that pattern," etc., etc. It was not "iust a bit of luck" on their part. It would not be "just luck" on your part. 1 here is no "just luck" about our business. Everything we say, everything we show you as bargains are premeditated, ore natural results of certain causes. Those causes are strict adherence to our business principles, viz: Close watch over the markets, careful buying that we may not have undesirable goods to oiler, u\ing of first hands for cash selling for the very least we can, believing in the motto, "Large sales and small profits" and last but not least, thoroughly advertising our offerings, and then always having just what we advertise. In this way we have gained the confidence and good will almost every man, woman and child in Montgomery county and many in adjoining counties, which enables us to do the largest business in this section and that in turn not only enables but compels us to buy more goods than all our competitors and we buy them cheaper. Therefore it is not "just luck" but results of sound business principles that enables you to buy goods of us cheaper than from any house in the county. We again remark:

It Pays to Trade at the Big Store.

We have watched the markets close enough to secure the following bargains in Dress Goods and Silks. They can not be duplicated and will not last long, so don't put oil "your buying until next week, it may be too late, come at once.

Cloaks and Furs.

As usual we arc read}'"with the largest and best stock of Cloaks in the city and equal to any in the State. We show the popular styles in Cloth Capes and Jackets, including the popular Golf Cape, and on fine and medium quality Fur Garments we are head and shoulders above competition. We carry no trash in this line, so don't buy until you have examined our line.
