AEFAIKS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. Os the 88.803 cars handled at this point last onouth. 50,412 were moved over the Union tracks fend 38,391 over the Belt road.l In the month of September the J., M. & I. received at and forwarded from Indianapolis 6.€7O cars, of which number 5,208 were loaded cars. The Bee-line last week forwarded from this point 1,028 loaded cars; the C., St. L. Ac P., 779; the 1., B. & W., 330: the C., H. & L, 299 loaded cars, or a total of 2,436 cars, against 2,471 in the week, ending Sept. 27, and 2,552 in the week ending Sept. 20. Tho fast express freight train run between Chicago and Louisville over the C., St L. & P., and the J., M. As I. is catching on finely with shippers, and has in the few week it has been on increased through shipments between tho points named fully 50 per cent The Vandalia management are so well satis fled with their Lake Maxinkuckee business this season that before next summer they will not only beautify the grounds but also arranpo to better accommodate the pleasure seekers who go to the lake for a few days or weeks. The C., H. & I. will, to-day, commence hauling tho first of a shipment of 500 box-cars from the Indianapolis Car Works for the Cincinnati Southern railway. These cars being of five-foot gauge will be loaded on flat-cars equipped with iron rad for convenience in loading and unloading the broad-gauge cars. Col. Joseph Hill, of the Vandalia. will this week go to South Bend, to complete arrangement for the Vandalia's terminal facilities at that point. Friends of the Vandalia are much pleased over the more than expected prosperity of this division of the road, and a still further handsome increase in traffic is looked for when trains begin running into South Bend. • A few weeks sinco Manager McCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg asked the proper officials of several of the leading car works to bid on 250 cars, built on specifications embodying his idea of a box car, the car to be 50.000 pounds capacity. The car works prepared their bids and sent them in; weeks slipped by, nothing was heard from Manager McCrea, and the car builders began to wonder to whom was awarded the contract, and to their surprise they learned that the cars were being built at the Altoona shops of the Pennsylvania Company, and tho first 100 were nearly ready for service. A meeting of general passenger agents of lines doing business within the territory of flic joint executive committee has been called at Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, Wednesday, Oct. 15, 10:30 a. m. sharp, for the purpose of considering and acting upon the following subjects: Rates, sub agents, excursion matters, differential fares, excursion rates to Now Orleans Exposition, and any other matters that may be of importance to lines interested. The call is signed by general passenger agents Lord, of the B. & O . Bronson of the 1.. B. & W.. Atmore of tho L. A N.. Ruggles of rhe Michigan Central, Shaftuc. of the O. A: 31., Smith of the Bee-line, and Ford of the Pennsylvania lines. Superintendent Whitcomb. Marshall Manning and the depot police are certainly deserving of complimentary notice, that with the crowds at the Union Depot last week, the numerous special as well as regular trains which run into and out of the depot, not a person was even slightly injured. The surprise is, that there is not some one crushed to death in the uot half commodious enough depot daily: only the greatest care prevents it. Before Oct. 1, 1885, it is to be hoped, Tndianapolis will have a depot that will accommodate the trains running into it more satisfac torily, and tho railway presidents say they will if the city acts well its part. No money is wanted, but there must be some vacations of streets and alleys. The Nickel-plate line seems to be establishing more friendly connection with the Indiana. Bloomington & Western. Commencing Monday, Oct. 0, the Nickel plate will run passenger trains between Buffalo and Fostoria, on the 1.. B. & W.. daily, except Sundays, instead of Bellevue and Ruffalo, as at present. Train No. 2, going east, A'iVr leave Fostoria at 6:40 a. m., arriving in Buffalo on time tho same evening to connect with lines east for New York and Boston. Train No. 1. which leaves Buffalo at 9:50 a. m. , will arrive at Fostoria at 8:40 p. m. This train will make connection at Green Springs with an express train o%xhe Indiana, Bloomington A: Western railway i[ov Indianapolis, Decatur, Bloomington and PooTia, to all points West and Southwest. Connection Will also be made at Fostoria with lines diverging. An important feature of this arrangement is that it will afford the Indiana, Bloomington A: Western another outlet to the seaboard via Buffalo for its passenger traffic. Business Over ludiauupolis Lines.Why east bound traffic is still so light is still a problem with the freight men. Notwithstanding the low rates which prevailed last week, tho east-bound movement was lighter than in any week in September, and the question now is, need any increase bo looked for with an advanced rate of 9 cents per 100 pounds? It is believed that a good sharp frost will put the new corn crop in good condition to move, and with the prices old corn is commanding it is thought that there will be a brisk movement of the new crop, for a time, at least. West bound tonnage continues to compare favorable with that of the corresponding period. 1883. Without question merchants in the Southwest and*\Ycst, who, in former years, have ordered their goods west via Chicago lines have learned that the midland lines make so much bettor time that it is to their advantage to ship over them, and from year to year a further increase may be safely anticipated. North and south roads are doing a good local business but their through traffic is light. Local business, with all lines, is quite satisfactory. Os course it has been heavier, but at times when tho depression in business was not so general. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending at 12 o’clock m. , Oct. 4, as compared with the movement of the week preceding j .Sept. 27. j Oct. 4.

Decrease last week of 424 cars in total movement In the movement of loaded cars there was a falling off of GOO cars, while it will be seen there were 242 more empty cars handled than in the week ending Sept. 27. The Central lowa Ouarrel Increasing in Bitterness. The financial clouds over the Central lowa darken rather than clear away—last week, defaulting on their bonds, although it is said the Alfred Sully syndicate has tho money to pay the interest. There seems to ho a question as to which of ihe contending parties owns the prop erty, which the pending suit w ill likely deter mine. Alfred Sully claims there was no fraud in the election by which the Sully syndicate elected their men. The opposing syndicate say there was. and are very bitter in their denunciation of it. Tho latter party, at the recent election, telegraphed their representatives as follows: “Insist on our inspectors biking charge < f the meeting. Let inspectors report throwing ou' their proxies and declaring vote carried by majority against any resolutions they present Pass resolutions declaring that they seek to wreck the property, and art acting for Burlington road. Get up somethincr that will read well

in the newspapers and in circulars to the stockholders. Put whole history into resolutions and have inspectors declare them carried by 40,0f 0 votes. You preside at meeting. Declare your resolutions carried and theirs defeated, no matter what happens, and keep records in your pocket. If inspectors declare our resolutions carried it will mix them up hopelessly. Accept every courtesy they extend, but grant none. Remember you are dealing with pirates. ’ East-Hound Traffic Over Chicago Roads.

Indications are that they will be crowded out of the directory of tho Ohio & Mississippi, and now a report is current that some of the Baltimore A: Ohio stockholders themselves, notably prominent English capitalists who have been identified with the loans of the company on tho other side, have protested against certain mat ters in connection with the construction of the extension between Baltimore and Philadelphia, the progress of which lias been slower than anticipated. It is further reported that in the mortgage made for this extension a clause was inserted allowing the proceeds to be used for this or for other purposes, and that some of the monej T has been diverted to the use of the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company. Now that Jno. W. Garrett is gone some of the oldest stock holders are said to feel that they are without a leader The Business of September. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the month of September, 1884, and also the car movement for the corresponding period for six years past: Loaded.

The proportion of empty carnjiandled was smaller this year than in either of the three years iu which the excess in movement of loaded cars is so marked.

Miscellaneous Notes. The stockholders of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road will hold their annual election to morrow. The new dining-cars for two of the Boston and New York express trains, via the Boston & Albany, w ere put on last week. The New York & New England peach train, this season, delivered at Boston 474 car-loads of Delaware peaches, against 532 in the season of 1883. The Lafayette Car Works resume operations this morning, and have prospects for orders which will keep tho works busy for some months. The Ohio & Lake Erie railroad, which will be anew and short route from Pittsburg to Erie, is expected to be completed by next March. Tho money to build the road has been raised. President Van Ilorne, of tho Canada Pacific, reports that the mountain section will be finished within a year at a cost of $4,000,000 less than last winter's estimates. By September 1, 1885, a through line will be established between Montreal and the Pacific coast. The Commercial Bulletin says: “Both passenger and freight rates to and from Boston are being well maintained. A strong and growing sentiment, not only among railroad men. but in the community, favors a conservative policy iu this respect. Boston owns railroads all over the country, and a demoralization of rates anywhere is felt here in diminished incomes, which are none too good at the best, as interest on the investments.” In commenting on the ups and downs of the stock market, the Boston Advertiser aptly says: “The wealth of some distinguished New York capitalists has become so great that they can make a market to suit themselves by changing the financial situation in any manner that may seem most profitable. They can divert traffic from paving roads to bankrupt corporations: they can make money stingent or easy: they can create railroad wars and can feign sickness, all of which will seriously affect the current of share values.” Saturday's New York papers state that it has been decided to fill the vacancies in the directory of the Erie railway at once, instead of waiting until the annual meeting. It is learned that Mr. D. O. Mills has agreed to serve, also Mr. Wheelock, the president of the Central National Bank. The latter will be appointed chairman of the finance committee. Mr. Raynor, a New York capitalist, will be a director, also the senior partner of I. Ac S. Wormser Ac Cos., who represents 100,000 shares of the stock and a large amount of bonds.

Hiring Farm Work. U. A. Huitrh, of Michigan, in American Agriculturist. Where it farmer hires a man for a definite term of service and for a definite rate of wages, to do a specified kind of work, the contract is express. But where the farmer simply requests the man to work for him, and nothing is said about the time or pay, or where the relation of employer and employe is formed without a full and definite understanding, the contract is iiu plied, and its lacking terms or condiirions must be supplied by law. A contract of hiring for one year or less need not be in writing. If for less than a year, it is not binding unless in writing, and either party can terminate the agreement at pleasure. Where the hiring is for a definite time, both parties are bound by it until tho time expires, 'file employer must furnish work, and the em ploye must labor to the end. If the master discharges the workman without legal cause before the tunc expires, the workman will be entitled to his wages up to the time of his discharge, and also such damages as he has suffered by being thrown out of his job. These damages will prob ably be the amount of wages up to the end of the time of hiring, less what the workman has earned or might have earned at other employment If tho workman leaves without legal cause before his time is up, the great weight of authority is that he is not entitled to any com pensation for the time that ho lias worked, though several highly respectable courts have held that under such circumstances he lias the right to the wages due him up lo the time of leaving, less the damages occasioned to his em ployer by his leaving. One of the most difficult, things to cure for fodder is the green corn stalk. Great quantities of good winter feed are often lost by early frost, ana the American Cultivator suggests as a remedy drying the stalks on a platform of rails or loose boards, laid so as to allow a current of air under the stacks, with a column of barrels built up through the middle to give additional ventilation.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, -MONDAY, OCTOBER <5, 1884.

Tin: PRESS OF NEW YORK. A Number of Editorial Funerals Needed— Papers Without Influence. “Gath’s” New York Letter. Editorial writing in the city of Now York has usurped the true tuition of the facts. Each individual editor has tried to run the town. If a politician like John Kelly made a small effort within his political society to imitate tic in they all sprung on him at once and cried: "No king, no clown shall rule this town.” You have never seen a time when the editorial clowns were not, only trying to rule the town, hut every private interest in it. Such slush as 1 see in some of the Western papers, written on the theory that the poople never think, and that they must be crammed full of views every morning, ought to go out of fashion in a self respecting land. Signs appear on every hand that every man is an editor in the country. Nobody can be cheated except the man who thinks he is cheating everybody. This city is sadly in want of editorial funerals. Those New York papers are limited by conditions over which they have no control. No man in this island is afraid of any one of them. Their denunciation would not scare a goose. They cannot make any more money than they have made in the past, and they will do well to make as much. The Sun, by its superior com mon sense and popular adaptability, held its way in spite of the opposition of three octavo journals, but it may have lost some circulation since it opposed Cleveland. Even in the presidential contest now pending there is no more conscience about the support of the New York press than in any other matter. It is with them wholly re venge, circulation and bad character. The agent of the Associated Press is now a Western man. and these journals which supposed they could sit on the free opinion of the country are themselves the valets of the Western newspapers. The sequel to this matter is close at, hand. Jones will have to retire from the Times. His partner. Mr. Morgan, who owns forty-nine shares out of a hundred, as 1 understand, has no politi cal sympathy with him, and is also a sufferer from his idiotic business policy. It has also been found here, and is freely admitted on the inside of thetwo-cent papers, that the New York public does not respond to heavy telegraphic outlay. The New York public is not a portion of the American people. It has tin; smallest interest <4* any great aggregation of men in the internal affairs of the country. They do not know how many States there are in the Union; hardly know whether Chicago is north of Milwaukee or not: and if a man should happen to say that ho is a citizen of the West they ask him, with a tone of commiseration, liow’ he can bear to live out there. To them the enormous crops raised in the interior of this coutinent do not represent breadstuffs, but quotations to gamble on. For gambling ends many of them would gladly burn the whole crop of any year, with an idiotic want of logic and uneonsicous that if they should starve the people would eat them up. I was talking not long ago to a man who has had a bitter experience in the change of the price of these papers, and he said: “Had wo spent the money anywhere in this country but in New York we should have had a response. New York is literally the Paris of America: and what is Paris? Paris does not support a single newspaper giving full intelligence on the con cerns of Europe. They take half the first page and make a story or feuilleton there, where the telegraph news ought to be. Then the paper is made up of squibs and things to excite a laugh. Now,” said my friend; “if wo had taken our money and put it into that kind of stuff here in New York it would have had just as much effect as if we had been getting twenty-five thousand words a day. Here is a population which does not desire to know particulars of any matter of fact. If two actresses have a quarrel they want to know all about it. They do not comprehend their public men except as matters to turn a paragraph. Now.” said he, “this idea I formed some time ago and mentioned it., and it seems to have got to Mr. Halstead's ears, and he has come here and started a small sheet on on the French plan. But he has only killed the plan by carrying it out so badly. The sheet he publishes is a little obscure looking thing, and the name itself, The Extra, kills it.”

PROGRESSIVE PUEBLOS. A Tribe of Indians that Take Kindly to White Men’s Mode of Life. .Santa Fe Review. There are nineteen Pueblo Indian villages un der Major Sanchezs jurisdiction, and ho and interpreter L. G. Read are now at home for a brief rest, after taking the census of about half of them. For two weeks these representatives of Uncle Sam have not slept under a roof, huthave traveled from village to village with a camping outfit, working from 5 a. m. to 11 p. m.. and Mr. Read has himself written out the name, age and sex of 50,009 souls. From him the He view scribe to day learned some very readable information concerning the Pueblo Indians. The Acoraas and other Pueblos are yet busy with their harvest, all their time and mind being turned on this particular occupation just now. They find time, nevertheless, to protest in the most emphatic manner against the outrage that Solomon Bibo tried to execute on them, and say “not a hoof nor a horn shall we allow to be put on our land by Bilbo or anybody else under any circumstances, if it costs us our lives”—and, truly, not a horn nor a hoof has been put there so far. as they are all (1,500 head of cattle) on the Bibo ranch; a good many are wandering over the neighboring range and* giving no little trouble to the immediate settlements, an offense which the latter seem to resent readily, for they will forthwith round up the intruding cattle, turn them over to the nearest justice, and claim damages, which they invariably want paid be fore the sun sets. Major Sanchez, by the by, has obtained five wagons from the department for these Indians, which they will use with the double end of mov ing from their cliff houses to the valley below, and on the other hand to haul their wood, grain, wool, etc. They will also bo furnished with a set of harness for each wagon. These Indians are progressing gradually. All the other Pueblos along the Rio Grande south of here have gath cred an immense harvest and are perfectly con tented. The Laguna Indians are a very thriving tribe, and not a little is due to the ever indefatigable energy of the Marmon brothers and Captain Pradt. They are scrupulously clean and hospit able, a thing you can realize the moment you enter their houses, which are well ventilated and contain all the modern style of furniture—spring beds, carpets, bureaus, etc.; neither are they behindhand in the use of agricultural implements, which they master to perfection. The Marmon brothers are now iutro dueing some agricultural machinery in which the Indians undoubtedly will soon follow suit. This is the case particularly at Pahuate. The seat of their local government is at the Pueblo of Laguna proper—the place to which you are led through a trail that has been worn in some places from four to eight inches deep into the bare sandstone by the tidy moccasin treading ot those Indians for centuries past It is at this place that you are tendered the most desirable hospitality by the Marmon brothers and (’apt. Pradt—names which are synonymous of kindness, affability and honesty throughout the country. Verily these Indians have before them, in the immediate future, the most battering prospects of wealth and happiness. and they seem to appreciate it, as tiiev leave no stone unturned to improve their condition by every available means The Zuni Indians are gathering a most co pious harvest of wheat, corn, beans, melons, watermelons, etc. There you can see an un broken liuo of wagons, of which they have about 150. donkeys, horses, etc., laden with the hundred fold products of labor, coming from every direction toward the mother pueblo—i. e., Zuni. The Indians are scattered about the country, some at Nutria, others at Pescado, and others still at Ojo Caliente. The same old antagonistic elements, Cushing and Luna, are noticeable. Though the first i gone, and some side with him as yet, and are awaiting for his return with the same anxiety they do * that of Montezuma: the majority, though, seem to be disgusted with him. Clianfrau and llis Father. New York Sun. When Clianfrau returned fwwi California he brought back $28,000 in cleftr cash. He became wealthy, bought an elegant country seat at Yonkers, and then w,-iit. to the warehouse in Peck slip, where big father was porter. “I’d l’ke you to step ,nt with me for awhile.” he said. “1 can’t,” tH<j old man replied: “it is not dinner hour: n;y employers won’t like it.” Clianfrau saif\*that they were willing, nnd took his father -ro Yonkers. Ho showed him throng* the house, and then asked him how he liked it. “It is a

very beautiful place,” said the old man It is vours,” said (Jhanfrau. The father and mother died there, and the place waa afterward sold to Mr. .John Duff for $25,000. WHY BEEF IS BEAU. A Reform Needed in Our Methods of Preparing Food. Philadelphia Inquiring of a leading butcher for a piece of a shin of beef, for soup purposes, we were told that lie did not offer such meats to his <us tom el’s. “Why not?” “Because nobody will buy them. The almost sole inquiry is for sirloiu, rib roast, tenderloin and other choice pieces.” ‘ But there is no part of the bullock from which such excellent soup can be made as tho shin” “1 know it, but you can't persuade the ina jority of buyers to believe that. Many of them would regard it a disgrace to have it known that a piece of shin beef ever found its way to their table. And that is one of the reasons why I am compelled to charge you twenty two cents a pound for the choice cut of the rump, and thirty cents for the best sirloin. Do you under standP “I don't think I do,” said the journalist. “Don’t you know that we buy our beef car casses by the pound, and that the shins, neck, and other inferior pieces ali cost the same? If we cannot sell the less desirable cuts, at anything like the price they cost, us, we must neces sarily charge such prices as will enable us to make a living profit. Hence, the seeming high charges for the better cuts. People will have no other, and, as a consequence, wo have large quantities of the less desirable meats on hand, which we are compelled to dispose of at such prices as we can get.” “But are not these less desirable pieces, as you call them, good and nutritious?” “Os course they are. If the American women generally understood cooking as they should and were willing to put themselves to a little trouble, there is not a pound of meat in a whole carcass that could not be made into a palatable dish. But, many of them know comparatively nothing, and many of those who do are not willing to give the time required to the preparation ot the poorer cuts, when they can get a tender steak ready for the gridiron or a roasting piece ready for the spit. We are a wasteful people, very wasteful. If our working people could but be made to comprehend what great economy there is in being able to cook well, they would be more anxious to have their daughters taught the art. Why, sir, lam convinced that a moderately skilled cook can serve just as toothsome dishes as are found on most tables at one-half the cost of the latter. There are many pounds of beef on this stall, first-class beef, though not generally so considered, which I will sell you at one-third the price I am compelled to ask for si u* loin or rump steak, meat just as nu ritious and wholesome, but requiring a little more skill in preparation, but th.it is none of my business. If I were to undertake to advise I would soon have my hands full. Hence I receive and fill orders as they are given. Do you know that one half the housekeepers have no conception of any other methods of cooking beef but to fry, broil, roast or boil; and yet, as everyone ought to know, beef can he cooked acceptably in fifty different ways, and in most of them without any increased expense. I know of several housekeepers, ladies of means and refinement, who have given the subject thought and cousidera tion, who thoroughly understand cooking, and who are not ashamed or afraid to be seen buying some of these inferior pieces. 1 have learned from them a number of recipes which I have tried at my own house, and have found them admirable. Yes, sir, we are a wasteful people, especially in the use of meats; though, for that matter. I could point you to great improvidence in table furnishing in many other directions;” and, drawing his large, keen knife over a sharpening steel in a style that made one tremble for his fingers, tho philosophical victualer proceeded to deftly cut a sirloin for a lady customer, leaving the writer to ponder over his remarks.

Digging Wells. M assaeluiKetts Ploughman. The old way of digging a well nnd stoning it up, so as to leave it about three feet in diaiu eter, Is a very good one if the water is to be drawn up with buckets; but if only with a pump, it is a very poor way; for if, as is the usual custom, the well be covered at the top, it leaves a very large space tor dead air, which so often becomes so bad that it affects the quality of the water, and also makes it unsafe to enter the well. When a well thus stoned has only a pump in it, the covering should be under water, or very near it; but if it is known that only a pump is to be used, the expense of stoning may be saved, and the water kept in a much better condition. This is done by digging the well in a dry time, and when dug as low as possible a cement pipe, some two feet in diameter and two or three feet long, is sunk at the bottom and worked down as low as possible by digging out the inside. The pipe should be covered with a flat stone, through the middle of which a twoinch hole has been drilled; directly over this hole stand up drain-pipe, then begin to fill the hole. When filled as high s the top of the first piece of drain-pipe put on another, being careful to have it straight with the other and the line perpendicular; continue filling and adding drainpipe until it is as high as the surrounding ground; or. if the pump is not to stand directly over the well, then when it is filled within four feet of the surface put in the pump pipe aiul lead it off in a trench to where the pump is to stand. When it is found that the pipe is all right, finish filling the well, leaving some dur able mark that the position of the well may be known. A well of this kind is reliable and permanent, requiring no repairs; the water is cool and free from impurities that open wells are subject to: no insects or animals can find their way into it, and the cost is not- more than one half that ot a well that is stoned. If dug, as it should be, when the springs are low, a constant supply of water that is as pure as the underground spring is se cured. As the well is always full, there is no chance for bad air to injure the water, and in fact hut little danger of being polluted by surrounding cesspools, compared to that of open wells. Stone Drains. New England Farmer. Open ditches are always in the way of cultivation and the harvesting of crops, while there is a constant call for labor in keeping them clear. In soft land the sides of ditches may cave in and require cleaning out every year. Under drains, properly built, may remain perfect for an indefinite period. What material to use in constructing under-drains is an important question. Many writers have contended that tiles only are fit to be used, while others believe that small stones may often be used for this purpose with advantage. In some localities wo believe stones will ho found useful and profitable. Many farm ers liave surplus stones that they seem to have iig other use for Wet spots are sometimes helped bv having the surface raised to a desirable level. In such cases it often happens that a portion of the filling may as well he of stones ;is of more valuable material. In making under drains for conveying running streams, it is often advisable to lay the stones in the form of a bridge with abutment*? und covers, but where the amount of water is very small, the stones will sometimes af ford a sufficiently open course when placed in without regard to a regu iar watercourse. Water is constantly running through the earth under our feet in natural channels formed of sand or coarse gravel. When making stone drains it should he remembered that the great danger lies in the line soil from above or at the sides of the ditches. If this falls in and fills up the spaces between tlie stones the drains may be ruined. To prevent this, care should be taken to cover the stones with some material 'hat will remain in place. Inverted turfs, old hay or straw, shavings from wood planing mills, leaves from the forest and small brush are all useful for eov oring the stone* before hauling in the soii. Tramping the filling hard is a good practice; also, filling the ditch above the cqmtngu level to pro vent the first ruin froui \vaishing the loose earth into the stones below. Most begiuners fail by making their drains too shallow. The bust foot in a drain costs the most, and is usually worth the most. We never like to think of an under drain less than foui feet deep, though one three feet deep may be much better than none. If the filling be stone, there should he at least twenty inches ol‘earth above the stones, and two feet would be still better. The wider the ditches the deeper the covering of earth should be. to pro vent over drying in time of drought It should he remembered that it is the bottom of the ditch that conveys the water. A tilling of two feet of

stones is no better than a filling of one foot, so long as the spaces at the bottom an* free from obstruction. The water which runs in under drains comes in mainly from t lie bottom. The soil directly over the drains may be made as impervious as possible without injuring their drainage capacity. A Little Lecture on Country Life. Hill Arp, in Son. ern Home and Farm. There is some sweet spice to every day's work in the country, something to brighten the pass ing hours, and make tho children happy. Tho watermelons are ripe now, and the cantaloupes, and the grapes, and the peaches. By and by the walnuts, and hickory nuts, and mavpaps. and black haws will come in. Partridges and young squirrels will soon give sport to tlie boys, and put a good dinner in the pot. Already the little chaps are grabbling for sweet potatoes. The popcorn is growing for the long winter nights Every season has its good things, which make the reward of labor .and toil, for nothing half so good unless we work for it A dollar earned is worth two dollars given us. Let every man make his own patrimony, and be a father to himself, and then if any more drops into Ins pocket it is all right, and he will know how to use it and enjoy it. But it won't do for a man to run himself to death after money. Let him go slow and mix a little preasure and recreation with its pursuit Not long ago I went to hear a revival preacher —a sort of Lorenzo Dow—and he picked out a lot of young men standing away ba k under a tree, and he preached at them with a vengeance. Said he: “Young men, I have been watching you and praying for you tor four days, and you won't come nigh the altar. Now, if you have made up your minds to go to hell. I want to give you some parting advice. Don't go galloping to hell—you will get there soon enough. Take* it leisurely: go in a pace, or a walk, and every now and then stop and rest under tho shade of a tree. Well. I suppose that a preacher could talk that way, but it sounds rather peculiar, to say the least of it, though the idea is a good one. and I never see a man working himself to death for money but what I think of what that preu* her said. I know a man who worked hard for twenty jears to make money, and he made it. and never stopped to rest under tin* shade of a tree, and now he is in the lunatic asylum from overwork, and his children are spending his mouey about as fast as he made it. A man had better become acquainted w ith his children in this world for fear ho won't know them in the next, and let them learn to love him and respect him. Mingle with them, read to them, tell them stories, go to mill with them, play drafts with them, and work with them, and when he gets old they will comfort him and take care of him. It is a pitiful sight to see a man lonesome and deserted in his old age. Corn in the South. Florida Letter. Yet this sand)', pine bearing so;! of Florida must have some strength. At long intervals there is a paintless pine hut with a garden of sweet potatoes, and the rank vines of these are like a load pencil for size. Then come* a field of corn, long since dead and dry: the stalks are slight and few on the ground, but every one bears • a medium-sized ear, sound, the kernels firm on the cob, nothing sleazy or spongy about it. You cannot twist or bend it in your hands. No Southerner cuts and shocks his corn. Once in a great while you see a field topped. But tho custom is to pick off tho leaves, bind them in wliisps as large as one’s arm. and thrust them between the stalks of the hill to cure. They are afterward built around a pole in a stack as big as an Ohio wheat stack, and a matter of eight feet high. The ears hang ou the stalks for weeks or months; they get full of the sweetness of the sun. the fat and yellow sunshine of the South. Ground into coarse meal, and this mixed with salt and water —nothing else—then baked with a ripe brown crust, in buscuits potted out with the hand, this corn makes the best bread, without exception, that I ever tasted. You must break these biscuits witn the hand —never profane them with a kuife—and eat them without butter. Uhew them a long time, then you will get tho exquisitely rich, nutty flavor of parched corn. In the South alone is corn bread made right, though perhaps in the North it has to bo raised with yeast or baking powder to give it that illusive something which is in the Southern loaf, hut which tho sour, cold heavens of the North fail to impart. In a cultured Southern home I have had brought to me for dessert a tiny *up of bla-k coffee and one of these hand-made corn biscuits, the counterpart iu miniature of those l have seen in confederate haversacks on the battlefield. It is thus the Southerners pay due honor to our one American cereal. Silk culture is not advocated as a very lucrative business, but as a home industry it adds largly to the wealth of the nations engaged in it. In Fram e its methods and practice are taught in all the schools. The raising of a few pounds of cocoons each year need not materially interfere with other duties, and it is by each househould raising a few pounds that makes it profitable as a whole. Large rearing establishments seldom pay. Natural vegetable .acids do not harm milk, but artitical acid of fermenting food introduces an element into tho consumption that is not possible for nature to neutralize and heme affects the milk. The amount of ferment may be small and do little injury, but if carried beyound a certain point will have a deleterious effect, which experiment, time and again, has demon st rated. When a horse has a good appetite and eats well, it is a good indication of health and capacity to undergo hard labor. For such horses nothing can be gained by attempting to improve them with condition powders or stimulants. A good feeder can, in nearly all cases, be relied upon. Physicians say that there is no remedy for consumption, and possibly, in some cases the assertion may be correct. We know, however, of many cures made by Dr. Bull's Clough Syrup and will guarantee positive relief to the sufferer in every instance. DIED. OSBORN—Mrs. Elizabetho&born, yesterday morning, at 8:40.
