One of the unexplained mysteries of this age, why will people be conteut to ride and drive over a road for ages without taking the pains to improve it in the least. The subject is the 3 miles of road leading from Gwynneville to Arlington. 1 passed over it the other day, and it is almost impassable already. It is a portion of the old State road, and runs on a direct line through Rushvilie to Indianapolis. The country through which it passes is of the most fertile in the county, and the farms are owned by mea of wealth, and it would impose no hardship on them to build it. I am sure it would be a great deal more satisfaction to them and and e^ery one that is compelled to pass that way. Considering the prominence of some of the men who live on this piece of road, I would think they would pride themselves on having a nice gravel road leading from their county seat to their home. It would enhance the value of their land treble the cost oi the road. I will venture to assert that there has been enough horses, harness and vehicles sacrificed on this three miles «f road to pave it with marble, and enough religion offered up on the alter of Baal, to Christianize a continent. The children "cooning" the fences returning from school seemed to look intelligent, and well clad. I presume that in all other things they have been well caught, excepting the necessity of good roads. It would be well to give them a few lessons on this important subject, that they may not follow in the footsteps of their fathers on "lis line. --V

Arlington was displaying its usual ?. "bustle" and getting there in its regular fashion.

Douglas Beckner and wife were just preparing to return to Greenfield, after a day or two's visit to Mrs. B's. mother, Mrs. Walter Smith, at Arlington.

The pike leading to Carthage is in a fair condition, although it has not been repaired for some time from the fact that it is under controversy.

The Straw Board works at Carthage is a mauimouth institution, and one of the most profitable generally, speaking of any other manufacturing industry in Rush Co. It requires twenty large loads of straw a day to keep it going. The buildings are well and substantially built, and the machinery is first-class, being one complicated mass of rapidly moving polished steel and brass. Sixty hands are kept constantly employed at this factory, and their product meets with a ready sale.

Our friends, Woofcen & Dennis, are doing an excellent business in the dry goods and clothing liue, I went carefully through their store and observed that good judgement had been used in the selection of their large Jstock. They are close observers and watch all lines in their business carefully compared them with the peoples tastes, consequently they handle no goods only those which are staple. They know that the people like reliable service, reliable advertising, and honest goods, and they supply their wants. These gentlemen are young men, courteous and kind, and by the practice of those lequisites they are getting there nicely. In the great battle of ^competi tion, they are easily outrunning the old fossilized store keeper, who quietly sleeps, undisturbed by the noise and bustle, that is being made as their procession passes him by.

Chas. Kennedy formerly of Marion, Shelby Co., has a good position in a grocery store in Carthage. He is a grand son-in-law of Dr. J. M. Adams of Marion.

Some one said to me the other day that, every merchant bonght goods as low as they could possibly buy them, hence he did not see how it was that some merchants bought cheaper than others, but they do.it and no mistake. The man that constantly looks after these investigates every available opportunity, can get better bargains than the merchant who sticks to one man and does not investigate for himself. The man who allows opportunities to pass, or fails to make the most of them as they arise, before the merchant does who is along by him with about the same stock

D-PRICE'S

and ^qoal conditions, must soon acknowledge} "I am not in it." Ways and, must go-hand in-hand with splendid stock, and the young or small merchant who developes genius in these departments, and posts himself on the prices r.nd offerings on the market will surely be the big merchant in the near future. All the successful merchants of this progressive age are winning their laurels and cash by the true system of the very »Ibwest minimum of percentage, .and the high aggregates of sales boiled down into two aggressive and decisive words, "underbuy* and undersell," and the merchant who will faithfully and fearlessly follow these iron laws, is a hero, and the man for the public to trade with. Under these sterling rules mediocrity has mastered genius, the beardless boy has paralyzed the old credit master, and a wheel barrow load of actual bargains, has drawn the cash and the crowd from the old regular, who thought he owned the earth. The school teacher had dropped his latin lexicon, the lawyer his victim, the preacher his piety, the politician his pull, and men of all pursuasions and professions have quit their calling, aud with this tilau leverage of unapproachable values for the quick cash, have almost obliterated the antedeluvian from the fac9 of the earth. The Ledger Lottery is not the headquarters for mercantile enthusiasts who mean to be masters, who intend to adorn the pages of commercial fame. The diamond drills destined to obliterate all records, must come from the mills, not through the expensive percentage oi! second, third and fourth hands. The real bargain giver who will write his name above all others, will save all these unnecessary extortions, and sho.t them out among the masses who are always ready to ap preeiate, and crowd the big or lii-llu store of the champion of best goods for least money. I consider the credit ledger a great clod crusher. It has often driven the millionaire of the morning iuto beggary before night. It has swept forever from high and honored niches illustrious names that adorned high places. Gaod and royal fellows have whispered to me "Rambler I am selling the goods, but I cannot collect." Ah, those fatal words, they have buried many a good aud u«erous man out o2

sight in a moments

time. The intense enthusiast of the morning, goes horns heart broken at night. It has paralyzed nerve, pluck and back-bone like pipe stems, it has dwarfed genius and ambition into driveling idiocy, many times drowning his horrors near the gates of the thegin mill. What a magnificent business could be built up by men if their old sweat book would yield up its cash. What gigantic proportions many a small dingy and almost deserted local news office could assume, would the long drawn out promise to pay be realized, but they dout, consequently everything in the way of talent in the struggling mans make up fast becomes obliterated. It takes every thing that makes men historic and famous save one thing, the "daddy dollar," it dare not tackle that. The credit barbarian has done its worst and its days are fast becoming numbered. They who have felt its deadly fangs and they who have seen its tarrific havoc day after day, and who have witnessed the marvelous marches of prosperity of all the prominent and popular men of the past and present, are fast making up their minds to follow the cold steel logic, of underbuy and undersell, for the almighty and everlasting dollar.

Enough, I had aimed this for travels, but I digressed. However it is no matter for one in a hundred wont read, and one in a thousand wont heed. RAMBLER.

Virus and Volutin.

The difference between venom and a virus is very marked. Both are poisons, and both of organic origin, but a venom is produced in secreting organs, commonly called poison glands, and is introduced into the system by means especially adapted for the.purpose, such as stings or fangs. On the other hand, a virus is the result of disease or putrefaction, and generally possesses the property of exciting in the system into which it is introduced the disease which produced the virus. A virus commonly produces little, if any, local disturbance a venom generally causes great pain, often severe inflammation and swelling. Venom has a marked local effect virus causes a general disturbance of the Bystem.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

*Blue Ball 75, th« Indian* pacer, ahirei second honors along with Almont 33,1 in producing dams, both having fourteen new matrons to their credit. •Santa Claus 2:17)£, 18 years old, is the sire of Sidney 2:19%, pacing, 11 years old who is the sire of Thistle 2:14, pacibg, five years old, who in turn is the sire of the two-year-old pacer To Order, that has recently taken a record 2:14. *The mare with a pedigree hitched to her is not worth a quarter as. much to breed as the mare which, hitched to a wagon, will pull you ten mile* an hoar and so anxious to get over the hills that she will take a ran to do it.—Spirit of the Hub. *There are horsemen who do not believe in advertising nor think much of printers ink, but they do not like to have their horses omitted from the lists and tables. Again, there are others who do not think papers do them much good, but they would rather not have mentioned anything which is a little crooked, for they are sure everybody will see that.— Western Horsemen. *Feed your horses something besides hav and grain once in a while. They will appreciate it, and always try and remember that all the faithful animal gets in return for all the work he does for you is care and what be eats. The balance is always ou the aide of the horse. Try and make the book balance at the end of the year by having many charges on your side of the ledger marked kindness and care. *Au exchange truthfully says that there was never a stallion that had a record so low or breeding so high that it did not pay to advertise him with printer's ink. There are a goo?. many stallions in this country to day that a few years ago were well advertised by their performances ou the turf, but that since retiring to the stud are only memories in the minus of turf followers because their owners have failed to realize the truth contained in the aboye paragraph. "The four-year-old pacer Dandy O by Dalbrino, dam by Kimbrons?h's Abdallah, took a record of 2:11 at Kolton, Kan. onthe22d inst., his quarter time being 32, 1:05, 1:38)^, 2:11. He has a double cross to Alexanders Abdallah, and will be remembered as the winner of the celebrated twelve-heat race for three-year-olds and under at Independence last year, in which he wou the last three heats. Dalbrino is a brother in blood to Hamdallah, kept by J. T. Tindall at his barn in the Glass works adition. *On hundreds of farms are to be seen dull-eyed, rough-hairad, under-sized and spiritless colts, whose distended bodies during the winter season show plainly that tbey are the victem of too much hay or straw, and too little of the condensed and nutritious oats and bran. Thousands of colts are annually raised that are not worth even the care and cost of the hay that they consume but if a colt is worth raising at all, it pays to fully develop its possibilities by adequate and nutritious feed. If it does not pay to feed any animal on the farm properly, it is pretty certain that it does not pay to keep that animal on the farm at all.

That the stable has to be cleaned out occasionally or moved. That he thinks of me once or twice a day and gives me a drink of water.

That I am too old to try to make anew record with the "pneumatic tire." That dry corn stalks will appease the appetite when I've nothing else to eat.

That the roaring in my throat prevents my hearing the curses of my driver. That the prices of good horses .are encouraging to those who raise the best kind.

That I can stand all the abuse intended for the valuable horses and still live. That the prices for poor horses do not encourage the breeding of that class of stock.

That there are still a few boards left on the side of the stable to keep off the wintry blasts.

That there is a solid bottom to the barn yard—if it is eight or ten inches under the mud.

That the agricultural press generally is enlightening horsemen on the manner of caring for horses.

That I have lived to a good old age in spite of the rank doses of medicine administered by ignorant horse doctors.

That I have never frozen to death at the hitching rack while my master was toasting his shins at the corner grocery.

That I am past that age in life that I can do six hard days' work in a week and draw the family around for pleasure on Sunday.

That the sores made by the rubbing bf the harness are beginning to heal up, and that they will probably be well by plowing time next spring.—Kentucky Stock Farm. '1-

A D&EADED PIRATE,

BLACKBEARD LOOKED ENOUGH LIKE SATAN TO BE A BROTHER.

Tlx Ferocious Bobber of the Seas Had a Fashion of Getting Himself Up In a Hideous and Repulsive Manner—Story •f His Successful Voyages.

Pamlico sound, now the haven of the •torm tossed mariner and the home of peaceful industry, was once the theater of far different scenes. In the beginning of the last century its placent waters refleeted a flag which struck terror to I thousands of hearts and paralyzed the commerce of the New World the thickly clustering vives and luxuriaut growths fringing its shores concealed, like the I original Ede», a hiding devil, the foe of

God and man—Blackbeard, the pirate. From a strange tendency of human nature the life of the pirate possesses a fascinating interest, not only for the small boy who devours the pages of his half dime yellow back novel, but also for the reader qf stronger judgment and better taste Indeed some of the greater writers have been unable to resist the fascinations of this wide and tempting field.

Sir Walter Scott, Marryatt and Cooper thought it not unworthy their mighty pens, and tlie*genius of Byron attained one of its highest flights in the description of the prisoner Conrad in the lonely turret, baring his bosom to the midnight storm and defying the lightning of offended heaven to transfix him. Of all this unholy brood Blackboard was facile princeps, as Milton says of satan, "By merit raised to that bad eminence." It was an Arabic tradition, relative to the great unknown Atlantic that the gnarled and bony hand of the devil rude from out the waves cf the sea of darkness to seize the presumptuous mariner, and in his diabolic career BiaekUr.nl seemed to be the impersonation of tliio mystic monster. Perhaps a greater demon never prowled the seas or walked the earth in human form.

Even in personal appearance he was hideous and repulsive, nature having stamped him both as a physical and moral monster. The name by which he was known throughout the world was derived from a singular circumstance, which illustrates his savage ferocity. His naturally dark and forbidding face waS covered almost to his fierce, sensuous eyes with a shaggy black beard, reaching below the waist. This hirsute adornment, of which he was very proud, and which he cultivated with sedulous care, he was accustomed to braid with ribbons and to twist about his ears until it stood forth like projecting horns.

Into the ends of these he stuck small, slowly burning fuses, whose sulphurous fumes enveloped him in a lurid hue and rendered him a not unfitting representation of the satanic ideal, whose character he so successfully emulated. In time of action he slung around his neck a scarf, into which were thrust three braces of pistols. Our readers, eren those who ar© not endowed with Dantesque powers of imagination, and especially our feminine friends, can readily fancy the impression such an aspect would create when met upon the lonely ocean, with the black flag fluttering above his head and his merciless face lighting up with agleam of demoniacal joy as his helpless victims walked the fatal plank.

The real name of this man was Edward Teach, and he was a native of Bristol, England. Of his early career nothing definite is known. He first emerged from obscurity as a common sailor on board a privateer commanded by Captain Benjamin Hornigold, sailing from Jamaica and preying upon French commerce. In that humble capacity he dis--tinguished himself by his skill and courage, which attracted the attention of his not over scrupulous commander, who soon intrusted him with a prize he had captured. In 1717 these two choice spirits spread their sails from Providence (auspicious name!) for America, capturing en voyage three vessels laden with wine, flour and miscellaneous cargoes, which they appropriated to their own use and turned the crews adrift.

The speed of their vessels being crippled by foul bottoms, they cleaned them upon the coast of Virginia and went in quest of fresh booty. On this cruise they secured the most valuable prize yet captured, a large French Guineaman, richly freighted, bound for Martinique. At this juncture Hornigold's avarice seems to have been satisfied, or more likely his heart failed him, for, taking the two vessels with which they originally sailed, he returned to Providence and availed himself of a pardon offered by the king to all pirates who should surrender in a specified time.

Teach, however, only emboldened by success, now assumed an independent character and began that career of crime which rendered his name so infamous.— Richmond Times.

.-f. Khedive and Sentry."

The kliedive, oddly enough for an oriental, did not smoke, but always earned a cigarette case, and delighted in offer ing it and little presents of money to the English sentries placed on guard round his palace when first Cairo was occupied by the British.

The khedive was an early riser, and was in the habit of walking in his garden early in the morning. One day, returning from such a walk, he was stopped by a sentry. "Yer can't go in here, yer know," said the man of war, with the Briton's amiable contempt for a fat little foreigner. "But I belong to the palace," faltered the khedive, delighted. "Oh, do yer? Got a good place?" "Very good," was the modest response. "Ah, yer look like it. Nothin to do and plenty to eat. I wouldn't mind serving your master. What sort of a feller is he?" ..

And then, alas, the sergeant coming along recognised and saluted the khedive, to the vast discomfort of the sentry aa !well as to the chagrin of hi* highness, who would have been glad to hear mora about himself. —Yoath's ^rwpaniffln.
