THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24. 1879.

I? DntivttL

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. Maine is not a Republican State. . Venezuela Oeth will have to walk the plank. Fraud most be made odious. Calico Charley and his yardstick are not making Ohio Republicans gloriously happy. Corxusg has given the Republican party the scratches. He will be known hereafter as the Old Scratch. ' Goveksor Blackburk. of Kentucky, treats the yellow fever hounds that bark at him with proud disdain. The Cincinnati Commercial wrestles tremendously with Pendleton's speech a Tom Thumb wrestling with the Kentucky giant. The young Republicans of New York have concluded to scratch Cornell without asking that machine candidate where to scratch him. They will probably scratch his head, and leave him the privilege of scratching his shins. Daniel Drew "Uncle Dan'l" 82 years of age, a man of the Commodore Vanderbilt type, has at last disappeared. A circos-saowman.cattle-driver, hotel-keeper, steamboat owner, banter, speoulator and capitalist, be was for many years conspicuous in New York business affairs. He was thought to be pious sometimes, but lived too long. Bob Ingersoll is a recognized Republican and is in intimate association with Republican conspirators 3ach as John Sherman, J. Madison Wells and other Louisiana liars. Bob fights God and the others fight the constitution. Bob would blot out Heaven, the others would blot out the Republic; they pull together like jackass and steers one brays, the others bellow, and between bellowing and braying, kicking and pawing, they make a show of brute-force in morals and politics strictly in keeping with the mountebank performances of the party generally. The suggestion in a recent issue of tbe Post thai Congress should proceed to put James McCabelnto the seat now occupied by Godlove S. Or til, by reason of a fraudulent majority, lias created some excitement in Indiana. The organs of Orth's party pat on an imposing show of lofty indignation and shout "frand" with an amusing assumption of innocent surprise. The Democracy of the whole country are entirely familiar with the tactics of Indiana Republicans. Washington Post. We do not suppose there is a Democrat in InJiana who believes that Venezuela Orth was honestly elected, and we doubt if a dozen honest Republicans in the State could be found willing to swear that he was honestly elected. The Republican party in Indiana is as ready as it is anywhere else to apply the Louisiana methods to achieve success. In the case of Orth it will not require a committee of average acumen 24 hours to give Orth permanent leave, of absence from Washington City. Senator Pendleton's speech on Saturday, at Edentown, 0., seems to have had as terri fying an effect on the Cincinnati .Commercial as that of Senator Voorhees. - The criticising editorial shot clear through the regular editorial pag9 and lapped over into the in side somewhere, and we lost it The Com mercial is modifying its assertion somewhat concerning soldiers having never been used at the polls since the war. Jadge Mackey's stAtamnnt craVA thn 11a t.rt that Vn 1H Commercial puts it: "And the bayonet has never been employed sinoe the war save to preserve the political rights of the men who were emancipated by the sword." That is the doctrine is it? "To pressrve the political righte." The bayonet is to be used. Bosh! We have no patience to dissuss the proposition. We all know just where such "flap doodle" runs to, and the Commercial knows better, or as well as any of the Republican press defending such nonsense. Wi have on former occasions pointed out and given the figures, showing the infamous scoundrelism of Republican carpet bag thieves, who were sent South immediately after the war to steal everything in sight, and for the further purpose of obtaining control of the 'State government.-!, tui a system of robbery might be ina'-r-ted, oacKea oy Bucn legislation as might appear advisable to cover up thefts and protect thieves by statutes. The facts, however, should be kept prominently before the American people. The figures showing the thieving policy cf the Republican party onght not to be lost sight of. The New York World brings forward statements "which were in circulation seven or eight years ago," and which at that time provoked not little comment, and adds that the figures "dhowed the debt and con tingent liabilities of the States in 1361 be fore, and again in 1871, after they had ex penencea tne nisssings oi civil war reconstruction and carpet-bag government. Inasmuch as these States were compelled to repudiate such indebtedness as they had incurred for the purposes of the war, the incre se was exclusively due to the Repubii can carpet-baggers, who were not satisfied with steaiiog all that had been left to the people after four years of war, but undertook to appropriate in advance the earnings of the South for tbe next generation: - - ' DEBTS ARB LIABILITIES, ,

These stealings of the Republican party, as shown in the increase of Southern Siate debts, more than equal the value of a 5.000.' 000 bale cotton crop, and as compared with all other steallrg ever recorded are the most stupendous. They . were carried forward at time that the Republican party conceived the idea of transforming tbe Federal Oov ernment into a Nation with abig"N." It

was the rule of bayonets, and the standing

army was made to protect the thieves. If the Republican party can succeed in its Nation" business, the reign of thievery will be restored. The old thieves are not all dead, anc the last one of them clamor for a Nation. BOGS The season AND HOQ PRODUCTS. is at hand when farmers, as well as pork packers, are seeking information relating to the hog crop. In regard to the probable supply of bogs for the winter packing season, now close at hand, the following tabulated statement, compiled from assessors' returns for the present year, as compared with the returns of the two previous years, may be of interest: 1879. 1878. 1877. 2,139 910 2,455,534 2,94106 1.644,714 2,341,222 704,862 318,764 800.OU0 211,041 ',S77 4I8 Ohio 2,041,649 2,5U0.0U0 2 .812.8.

These figures show a falling off in the hog crop in the States named, in 1st 9, as compared with 1878, of 801,051 head. The department of agriculture at Washington estimates the number of hogs in 13 packing States, as reported January 1, in the past three years, as follows: 1879, 20.915.900; 1878. 19,208.400; 1877, 17,464,400. These figures, says the Chicago Commercial Bul letin, Bhow that the supply of hogs on hand January 1, 1879, available far packing pur poses during the year, was 1,617,500 in excess of the supply in sight at the cor responding date in the previous year. The percentage of the number of hogs packed in these States to the number raised is about 55 per cent., and on this basis of calculation the packing in the 12 months ending with February, 1380, would be about 11,500,000 hogs, or about 780,000 in excess of the packing of the previous 12 months. But it is generally understood that the de partment of agriculture at Washington does not amount to much, and that its estimates are generally unreliable; still, "there seems to be" says the Bulletin, "no doubt that tbe apply of hogs In the West for winter pack ing is ample to meet all the requirements of the provision trade. Some parties express tbe opinion that the crop will not exceed that of last year, in view of the increase in the summer packing of about 155,000 hogs and the free movement to meet the enlarged demand to sapply the wants of the Eastern and foreign markets. Others are equally as confident that the crop will be a large one greatly exceeding that of the previous year that farmers have been encouraged to raise hogs by the more liberal figures obtained during the past eight months, the fewer losses from disease and tbe abundance of food, which can be better disposed of in the shape of hogs than in any other way. The opening up of new lands and the constant flow of emigration into the far Western States, also tend to increase the hog sup ply. The more conservative portion of the trade inclines to the opinion that the crop will be good, liberal and of extra quality, and that farmers, in view of the large corn crop, will feed liberally and forward their hogs to market in good condition, thereby increasing the product largely. In re gird to the time of marketing there is no certainty; it will depend greatly on the prices current for hogs and farm products generally. PENSIONS. It has been said that "Republics are un grateful," and there are numerous instances on record which reflect the highest discredit upon the Government of the United States, though it can hardly be said that, as a gen eral proposition, it has shown ingratitude toward its soldiers. This fact is demonstra ted by the records of the Government, which show that since 1833 the sum of $431,324,311 has been disbursed among its war veterans. The amount paid each year is given as follows: 18S 81,589,152 1856 I 1.296529 1857.... 1858.... .859.-. i860.-. 186 . 1862.... Is63.. 1864 ..

Y the other day walked lour miles, picked a box of hops, and then walked back again. Dr. Spencer, of Vicksburg, denied that he kissed a certain married woman while she was under the influence of chloroform, but he gave her a house and lot to settle the case all the same. A ijttle boy picked np what he thought was a ratner pretty pebble while playing on the bank of Utile Miami river at Waynesville Ohio. It turned out to be a pearl, and he sold it for $350. "TJixoa, my little man ! You seem in a bad

way! What's the matter?" "Please, sir, it's all along o' motber 'ittln' me about the 'ed with the poker, sir;" "Gracious Heavens! Your mother!" "Ah, bnt I've got her six months for it, I can tell yer!" Maktkl Fearing was repeatedly visited at Plain City, O., so he says, by the ghost of an old hunter, who declared that there was a valuable deposit of lead on the larm. Under the unearthly guidance, Fearing dog night after night to find the mineral; but the ghost did not direct any precaution against acci dent, and finally the shaft caved in, injuring the miner fatally. Ekigham Young mixed the Mormon church property with his own in a way that, in law, left it all at his death as one estate. The ex ecutors, who are Mormon dignitaries, under took to separate the two equitably; but the heirs, consisting of the original and only lawful Mrs. Young and her children, have had a receiver appointed, and It looks as though they would finally get the entire amount. A woman who began life in Leadville as a washerwoman now has an assured income of $1,000 a month. She staked out her land, built herself a cabin with the aid of the miners who have also helped her keep possession of her claim. She has speculated in land, built as desirable a building as there is in the place and has refused one offer of 110,000 for one piece of ber property. A pretty good woman. Whkn the Prince of Wales was engaged In laying the foundation-stone of the new Eddy. stone light house the other day, it seems that he was only following the example cf another Prince of Wales, the illustrious Black Prince. This warrior took a particular interest in the restoration of the great Cordonan light-bouse, lately described by Sir Travels Twiss at the International conference.

The latter settled in 1873, and consists of 115 families and about 700 souls, who purchased 10,000 acres of land at $1 per acre. Each family finds Itself now in a comfortable home with a good Income. They have dairy and cheese lactories in successful operation, their products finding ready sale at fancy prices. A minister in the north of Scotland was taking to task one of his hearers who was a frequent absentee, and the accused defended himself on tbe plea of a dislike to long ser mons. ' "Deed, man," said his reverend mon itor, a little nettled at tbe insinuation. "If ye dlnna mend, ye may land yerself where ye'l1 nae be troubled wi'many sermons, either long or short." "Weel.alblins (perhaps) sae," retorted John, "but it may be nae for want o' min isters." POLITICAL NOTES. The Legislature of Georgia has just passed a severe tramp law. San Francisco oast 40,717 votes against Chinese Immigration and only 229 in its favor. The whole number of voters registered In Philadelphia is 193,477, an increase of 8,837 over 1878., The tax on commercial travelers in Texas has already brought $14,000 to the State treasury. Maine has ratified a constitutional amendment providing for biennial sessions of the Legislature. A. J. Davidson, a colored man of Athens, Ohio, is speaking for General Ewlng in Ohio and drawing large and enthusiastic crowds. Host. Frank Landers made several speeches during the past week In the Ohio canvass. He is well received, and his speeches are said to be doing good. The Washington Republican - announces that tbe Republicans next year "will demand a man who believes that politics is statesmanship." That Is Just what every leader among them believes now. Full returns from Maine, printed in tbe Bangor Whig, give Davis (Be p.), 67,970 votes; Garcelon (Dem.), 21,181 votes; Smith (Gnbk.), 4750 votes, and 311 vr.tea scattering. Davis, therefore, lacks 772 votes of an election by the people. The standard sliver dollars are circulating more rapidly this month than at any time heretofore. It is expected that the quan tity of the d liars that will get into circulation this month will, for the first time, equal the monthly oolege. Hon. Gbobok H. Penoueton and Congress man Frank: Hurd, of Ohio, began their portion of tbe Ohio canvass on Saturday night, the former at Edenton and the latter at Napoleon. The speeches were said to be rattlers and the audiences large and enthusiastic. Tbe colored voters in Bt.Louls have resolved that they will not vote the Republican ticket any longer unless they are given a share of the offices in proportion to their voting strength, and committees have baen appointed to inform the Republican managers of this determina tlon. There will probably be about 2,000 votes cast br women at the next eleotlon in Massachu setts. The annexed figures show tbe reglstra tlon In some of the cities: 17 In Springfield, about 50 at Westfield, 25 at Northampton, four at Bolyoke, 11 at Chlcopee, 72 ai Worcester, 115 at Lynn, and 1,040 at Boston. A. B. Cornell, tbe Republican nominee lor governor of New York, bas paid debts since his nomination of over t00,0J0 old judgments which have been piling up against him for years. A good thing for old creditors. If it has that effect, it might be a good thing to nominate old bankrupts for office everywhere, In a recent conversation, so It is reported, Justice Field, of the United States Supreme Court,sald that the Chinese question Is a broad one, to be diHcnsed broadly and npon prlncl pies of International law, and that the Chinese have the best of ns In onr commercial reia tlons. He added that the Chinese here ought not to be annoyed with petty vexations. The Coopers town (N. Y.) Freeman's Journal estimates tbe vote in New York State as follows: "Ordinarily the Dem oorats might expect to carry the State by 35,000; Kelly may poll that number of votes: the 14teenbaokers may take -10,000 more Democratic votes than Republican Cornell will thus be 10,00 ahead U he gets his party vote, which he won't: a obange from

Cornell to Robinson of 100 in each county will elect Robinson by 2,000. Therefore we may conscientiously encourage our Democratic friends with the hope that by a strong effort on their part they may re-elect Governor Rob

inson." A Georgia correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal speaking of tbe political experience and standing of the "fire-eatiDg" Toombs of Georgia, saya.The love of the people of Georgia for him amounts to adoration. They consider him the embodiment of tbe old constitution in its glory and integrity." He is rich, wants no office, and is still happy and aggressively corpulent." PERSONALITIES. Uovkrnob NicHona, of Louisiana, has gone back to his post In improved health . From all parts of the Sooth applications have been received for children of the late General Hood for adoption. . Warren J. Wood abo, a judge of the Penn sylvania supreme court, Is lying dangerously 111 at Hampton, N. Y. Ex-Govebnor Gilbert C. Walker, of Virginia, has decided to settle at Blnghamton, In this State, and practice law. Ex-Governor Teldex has declined, with thanks, an invitation to deliver the address at the fair of the Keystone Agricultural society Of Ber.'j county, Pennsylvania. - Minister J. M. Comly Is on his way back to the Hawaiian Islands, expecting to tarry awhile In San Francisco to see the merchants and join ln'welcoming General Grant. The poet WhltUer Is at his favorite restingplace, the Bearcamp River House, West Osslpee, N. H., where he has long been accustomed to pass the early days of autumn. The mayor of New Orleans has received letters from two ladles, one in New York and one in Baltimore, expressing a desire to adopt two of the children of the late General J. B Hood. Or Lord Lyons, so long the English minister at Washington, and now the English ambassador at Paris, Trntb writes that his excellency having nothing else to torment blm has foresworn not only wine but tea and coffee also, permitting himself the one beverage, and no other, of milk and soda-water. Also, he smokes like a chimney. The bullet which De Young sent into Kalloch at San Franolsco has been removed through tbe Instrumentality of the latter's wife. In dressing his wound she saw a dark object protruding, and told him to put his finger upon It. He did so, and said: "I believe that is the bullet; pull it out." She made sev eral attempts, and finally succeeded In ex trading it. A votiNij man, a member of one of the first families of Syracuse, went to a watering place this season for recreation. When he returned one oi his acquaintances asked him whether there were medical springs at the resort which he had visited. "Springs aw yes, I believe there were." "And what was the property of the water, cathartlo or diuretic?" "Well, weally I don't know, my dear boy, I did not taste it, but from the smell I should say it was emetic." Mark Twain was asked to contribute to tbe fund of defraying the expenses of Battle-flag day in Hartford, Conn., and wrote In reply: "Out of the poverty left on hand by an interminable European trip, I very gladly put the inclosed $25 in furtherance of the good cause which you represent. There Is nothing nobler than for religion to support patriotism, and nothing wiser than for both to uphold and encourage domestic economy, therefore I subtract this sum from the pew rent." General Robert Toombs, of Georgia Is devoting his superfluous energies to writing out his pronounced views . upon the relations of railroads to the State. He is very severe upon the monopolists and the tax-consumers, and says: - We have the right of eminent domain ; the right to take all the railroads In tbe State for public use when the public Interests demands It, by paying just compensation. If we pay Just compensation only, we can sell for the same, after putting them under the law.,' Thomas A. Hendricks. South Bend Herald. Every true Democrat in Indiana likes Thomas A. Hendricks. They like him personally; they like him politically. They like him for his social qualities. They like mm tor his purity ot character that in all relations of life, public and private, no scandal or dishonor attaches to his name. They like him for his pre-eminent abilities and statesmanlike qualities which make up me character o: a corn leaner ana place mm at the head of the Democratic party of Indiana. As governor of the State; as political adviser in Democratic counsels; as representative in Congress or United States senator wherever ana in whatever capacity Thomas A. Hendricks has been tried, he bas shown himself "honest and capable," and the peer of his very best official aso dates. Under his lead Indiana has become tbe Democratic banner State of the North west, and by virtue of that position, as well as by his eminent fitness for the office, her chosen Democratic delegates presented his name to last Democratic National conven tion as a candidate for the first place npon the presidential ticket. He was nominated and elected to the second. Thomas A. Hendricks has now a public reputation, second to no man in the United States. His name will again be presented to tbe next Democratic National convention for the first office in tbe gift ot the people, and as he forms one of tbe small groupof recognized Democratic statesmen, from whom the call Is to be made, tbe central cgure of which is Thomas A. Hendricks, we belive tbe choice will fall npon him to take the helm of tbe Government and bring the ship of State back to its Democratic moor logs, nut snouid it oe other wis, the Dem ocracy of Indiana will not only bow to the expressed win ol the majority In tbe choice of a candidate, but will do equal service under any other leader. v The Rise of Imperialism. St. Louis Post Dispatch. Perhaps it is but natural tnat tue first sun of real imperialism should rise on tbe Pacific coast and be brought from the Asiatic .asc Perhaps it is only natural that the "Golden State" should be first in hero worship, as it is first in wealth, in monopolist and shoddy millionaires. Grant's reception in San Fraiclsco will surpass anyining in splendor tats country eerknew will surpass a Hundred recep tions ueorgs Washington ever received. it is the result of hero worship. lint the natural outgrowth of hero worship is imperialism, a people capaoie of wor abipiog a hero Is oapab.e of submitting to that hero's rule. There Is but one sUp from the one-man elonhcation to tne one-man now-r. Grant himself deserves no blame for this. Tbe people are to blame for it. It is not strange that Grant shonld have dreams of still greater glory and still greater power. It would be most unnatural, most extraordinary, were oe wunoui such hopes. He is comparatively young, in the very prime of vigorous manhood. He had the most marvrlously roraantlo and successful ca eer in American nmtory. He held more power already than Washington ever held, received more glory and greater honors all over the world than any other American be firs him. Why should there be an end? Whr should there not be a future, a future with an object, an objeot ahead, something that no one before him had In this country. The Bepnblio bas spoiled Grant, and Grant in turn may yet spoil the Kepublio.

A dispatch from Topeka, Kan., says that the governor of that State, in consultation with Conway, a leader of tbe Southern negroes Into Kansas, has concluded that hereafter ' they be directed into older Western States, where they say there is now a very considerable demand for their labor.

Thedullne) ot all branches of business, which has thrown so many persons out of employment, and prevented so many young men from getting a start in life, is not without its compensations. Apart from the moderation of desires wbich it has produced, by compelling tboss who obtain work to u moderate their expectations of pay and rapid promotion, it baa diminished the number ot non producers, a consummation greatly needed In a land of broad and largely nn cultivated acres. The thousands of able-bodied men, young and old, wno have been thrown out of work In our cities and manufacturing towns during tbe past tew years have In many Instances become tired ot waiting for a revival ot buklneas and turntvt tnsir attention to farming, with which not a tew have had an early acquaintance. Men with soma capital, whoae couimerolai experiments have not realised their expectations, nave done the same.

There is evidence of this iit .the immense amount of Government and railroad lands that are being taken np in Kansas and other Western States. Nor is this slL la New England, where many farms have been abandoned and the population steadily diminished for years past, an active demand for i.nd has arisen. There is more call for real estate investments in the interior towns of New Hampshire than there has been for one or two decades before, and tbe same is true. -

WW "CUD v. w.ui DCVUUIU, There J3 much ground for reioicinr in " these indications. Division of labor is es sential to the prosperity of the community, and our country has suffered from a - lack of it. The loss has not been merely financial. The rush for the so-called easy professions, wuoi wid luuouici xv uub tauiea into requisition, is often an evidence, not of energy, but of its reverse. While many young men have gained fame or fortune by leaving the farm, more have sacrificed the health and independence they might have acquired by remaining in the sphere to which circumstances seemed to have called them. It is not best that all men should be tillers of the ground, yet for numbers it is the best possime tot, ana tne experience of the last few years has clearly shown that mu titudes have sadly erred In sacrificing rural independence for the anxieties and uncertainties of city life. LYNCH LAW. Moonlight Picnic in the Kanawha Tallev Murder of Bob Moore by John Thompson and Hanging of the Murderer by a Mob. I Special to the Enquirer. Coalbcrg. W. ,Va.. Sent. 20. A double tragedy occurred at Paint creek. Kanawha county, between 7 and 9 o'clock last night. the lawlessness of which is without a parallel . in the history of crimes in tbe Kanawha ' valley. Two men, named respectively Bob Moore (white) and John Thompson (colored), met in a saloon at the point above named, and, after imblbirg etroug drink to an extent that dethroned their reason, they engaged in an exchatgj if insulting Ian- -guage, which resulted in a personal encounter, the scene of conflict being a short distance from the grog-shop in wbich the quarreling originated. In the melee Thompson, who recently completed a term of two years in tbe West Virginia penitentiary for uwuug auu iuuuuiuk a cmz?n oi diarieston, drew from his pocket a large knife, and inflicted in Moore's neck a wound which resulted in instant death. Escaping from tbe scene of his awfnl crime. he concealed himself nnder tbe guards of a small boat closely nioored to tbe Paint creek bank of the Kanawha river. The citizens of the neighborhood, hearing of the commission of the act, collected together en masse and went in search of the offender. His whereabouts was soon discovered, aud he was taken in custody, conducted a short distance from the point at which be had just taken tne lite or a fellow-being, and there hanged by the neck until he was dead. Snerin Kossler. who was notified of the disturbance and probable general outbreak in the neighborhood of Paint - creek, went np on the late train going east last night. and succeeded in quieting matters, return ing to the city early this manning without, however, obtaining the nanus of any of the lynchers. Tbe body was cut down this morning, and a coroner's jury decided that he came to his death by the hands of parties unknown. The corpse arrived here late thij evening, when an immense crowd ot negroes met it at the . river. Washing Day. Philadelphia Times. Whether to soak the clothes over night or not is a much disputed qaestion with housewives. Where pure cistern water can be had it is doubtless an advantage, but to soak clothes in hsrd water seta the stains rather than removes them, and river water unless filtered when drawn off In quantities, as a rule, contains so much mud that it is apt to screak the clothes soaked in it for any consi Jerable time. Wringers are a blessed in vention on the whole, although hard on buttons. But flanneis should not be patsed through them, as they rub tbe wool up Into little hard naps. Clothes should, if possible, be dried in tbe sun and in 'he open air, and "never yet did housewife notably greet with a smile a rainy washing day." But when Monday is rainy, it is not always convenient to postpone the weekly wash. In that case sheets and any other large white pieces which are not to be starched may be hung ' out in the rain, which will bleach rather than injurs tbem. If possible, bang the smaller pieces in an nnnsed room np stairs. when tbe rest may usually be disposed of by hanging at night on lines stretched across the kitchen, where tbe heat ot the fire will dry them before morning. Blankets onght never to be washed in rainy weather. Beleet a bright summer day lor the work aod let it be done and through with. Have two people to wring them, and stretch and pnll them carefully when putting on tne lines. Then pull and fold tbem dry, and pnt them under press instead of ironing. Hints For Young Honskeepers. We like once in a while to turn from politics and the frailties of bnman nature to some subject tending to improve the race and increase the sum of happiness. Here are a variety of hints, gathered from many sources, that may be of advantage to young housekeepors: It U confidently asserted that boiling water will remove tea siaina and many fruit stains; pour the water through the stain and thus prevent it from spreading through the f ibric Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and other stains from white cloth; also from the bands, a teaspoonful of turpentine boiled with white clothes will aid tne whitening process. B tiled starch la much improved by tbe addition of a little spermaceti or a little salt, or both, or a little gum arable . dissolved. Beeswax and salt will make flat--irons as clean and smooth as glass; tie a lump of wax in a rag and keep it for that -purpose; when the irons are hot, rub them -with the wax rag, tben scour with a paper . or rag sprinkled with salt. Kerosene will , soften boots or shoes which have been hard- " ened by water, and render tbem as pliable as when new. Kerosene will make tin teakettles as bright as new; saturate a woolen ng and rub with it; It wilt also remove sums from clean varnished furniture. Feed Young Animals Well. The man who wears out a calf's teeth in the effort to make it shift for itself never raised a prime steer nor a good cow. Every dollar supposed to be Ibus saved in the young animal must be replaced later in the expenditure of two. The man who feeds best while tbe animal is young makes tbe most money. This is gene-ally recognized improvement in stock and consequent cheapening in the raising of animals within tbe last 10 years. The same ruin will apply to all farm stock. If stinted while young they never pay the breeder and feeder a living 1 profit. Hence, the reason wby those who do not keep pace with the times ars always comStaining that there is no money in stock, be big prices paid by tbe best stock feeders re for animals that have had th-ir digestive organs kept intact by early and prop -riy nntri ious food. The value of a loud animal lies in its aptitude to lay on fl-so, and those who keep steadily growing from birth will continue this growth and iucreaae in profitable weight. To do this in the most economical manner the digestive organs must bs originally strong and umm paired by abase. And now IS or 17 new stars and comets have btien discovered. If this thing isn't stopped pretty soon, the young couple who succeed in finding that particular star by 10:30 won't be able to get home beiore midnight. Give the children a rest.
