Eronomy in Farm Iluilding. I Chicago Tribune. The construction of farm buildings with a flew to economy and convenience has ever received tbe attention in the West it deserves. Host farm-houses are modeled after those found in villages and cities. They are constructed more for show than lor real comfort. The building of them in many cases plunges the owner ia debt, which causes him anxiety and trouble during many years, if it does not result in his financial ruin. The ambition to have a good house on a farm is a creditable one, bat its erection should be undertaken judiciously. In a prairie country it is advisablejto place it, if possible, on an elevation so as to insure a dry soil and good drainage for the cellar. A site that will command a view of tbe entire farm is very advisable. If a farmer has but small means it will be better lor him to erect a moderate sized building at first, with a view of making additions to it Bi his family and means Increases- A buildins containing a spacious kitchen and living room on the ground floor ami sleeping rooms on the second wiil afford good accommodations for a small family at little exTense. It will serve aa the "extension" of a bone to be erected in the future. It i customary in cities and villages to have the ex tension to the house ia the rear of it for xcany reasons. The lot on which the build iegs are erscte l is generally long and'nar row, ana it is necessary to utine the spase to tbe best advantage. The house, accord ingly, stands with tho end to the street. while tbe portions used for laundry, cooking ana dining purposes are in the rear. A pleasant view from this portion of the house is regarded as a secondary consideration, as it is generally occupied by dometici. In the country, where the members of a farmer's family do most of their own work, this portion of the house should ba made as ptea ant as possible, itsnou.'a extend iron one side of the main bnildinr, and not from the rear end of it. This will allow the windows on one side to command a view of the street and on the other a view of the garden. It is cesirable to have this part of the house protect from the sunny side of the main building. The kitchen in a. farm-Louse should be large, especially if it is to be need as a lann dry and a room for canning fruit. It should be supplied with water from a cistern and well, and should have a passage leading to the cellar. It is better in every respect to nave conveniences lor doing wasnme in an other building at some distance from the family dwelling A building sufficiently large for a laundry can be built and fitted up at a very small cost. If judiciously planned, it can be employed for a variety of purposes besides washing ana ironing, in summer it can be used to good advantage in preparing all the iaeals for the family. Br doing the cooking in another building the dwelling maybe aept cool ana comparatively free irom insects. All such operations as trying At J ? , . - V uui laru, canning iruu, mating preserves ana cutting up meat can be performed in this bmiding. loa men emoiovad on the farm will prefer to slay in this buildinsr daring rainy days to being in the house or going to tbe nearest town, it it is two stories high. sleeping rooms for laborers can be finished off in the upper story. hj having a building of this kind the dwelling can be kept in excellent condition witn little labor. Most of the bad odors caused by cooking may be avoided. So will the steam produced by boiling clothes. In slavery days the cooking and washing on southern farms were done in buildings occupied by negroes and located some distance from the family dwelling. The advantages of this arrangement were many, and the disadvantages few. It was inconvenient to pass from one building to another when the weather was unfavorable, but this objectionable feature of the arrangement may bs avoided by having a covered walk connecting the two buildings. All housekeepers who have had the advantage ef a laundry outside the dwelling are convinced that it saves much trouble in keeping the latter in good condition. Farmers generally follow vervold fashions in ihe construction of barns. Although the expense of them is great, they generally lay tight floors of thick plank across the entira space covered by the building. A tight floor in a barn was at one time essential, as all kinds of grain were thrashed on it by means f the hand-flail. A floor is no longer wanted for this purpose. In fact, it is no longer essential for any purpose, and with ths inreasd price of lam ber it is a question if it can not be dispensed with without difficulty. A r!ocTinaybe made of that will remain clean and dry under a tight roof, and witi answer every purpose of one made of thick plank. By placing a layer of etraw on it a good foundation is secured for hay. There U bo necessity for a plank floor in the middle ef the barn. Tbe team and hay rart can rest on t clay floor as well as on one made of expensive plank. Plank doors for cattle, horses and hogs to stand on are not common in countries where lumber is scarce, and they may be dispensed with here. On the continent of Europe barn floors made of concrete or of clay, to which a little coal tar is added, are very common. Many owners of horses prefer to have them stand on a floor made of clay. In Mexico the floors of nearly all buildings are made of clay or of sand and lime. With the present low price of glass there is doubtless economy in having win dows in barns. The Germans who settled Pennsylvania at an early day built barns that were as well lighted ad the houses they occupied. They brought the fashion from the old country and It has been generally followed by their descendants. The windows in barns are favorable to ventilation as well as for the admission of light; that animals thrive tetter ia a well-lighted barn or stable than in one that is dark, has bee a repeatedly demonstrated. The time is not far distant when it will be regarded as extrem , aeltr to animals to confine them in dart buildings. The construction of economical buildings for sheep has received attention in this country. The Scotch, who are the best shepherdi in the world, give excellent protection to tbeir sheep, and contrive to afford it at very small expense. In many cases tbe tiht fence around the ahep yard answers for the back wall of the shelter. The roof, which project a considerable distance in front of the othtr wall, U cfan made of thitch,

wblcb is secured to saplings. Tbe floor la of clay. Low buildings are preferred to high ones for the reason that they are warmer. During the lambing season partitions are

placed in these buildings so that each ewe may bave a compartment to herself and her condition watched by the shepherd. Marketing; Poultry. The profit in raising fowls designed for sale in distant towns is greatly reduced in this country by the expense of sending them ta market and disposing of them when they have reached their destination. There are now stock-yards in most of our Northern cities where animals may be kept till they are disposed of to butchers, packers and shippers. The increase in the trade in fowl. however, has caused no increase in the facilities for handling them. All railroad companies Lave provided cars specially adapted to carrying cattle, sheep, and hogs. In Colorado, it is said, the managers of one railroad have fitted up cars expressly for carrying live fowls; but in most parts of the country sach facilities have not been provideo, and fowls, both live and dressed, are generally sent to distant markets by express. They are ordinarily consigned to commission j mere bants, who charge the same rates for sellinc them that they do for disposing of perishable goods. Although poultry sells lor more than tbe meat of animals, the cost of transportation and selling greatly reduces the Eum the raiser receives. It appears to be time for poultry-raisers to combine for the purrose of securing lower rates for transportation, better facilities for handliBg, and a reduction of commissions in selling. The cost of coops in which to send live fowls to market is not large, and there is no economy in returning them as there is in the case of epg carriers. This would be unnecessary if the business of shipping fowls was conducted lite that of shipping cattle, sheep and hogs. Uuilding or sheds for holding fowls are necessary at the termini of railroads and at various places along the Hne3, and cars having several floors ' are required for their transportation. With these facilities, and with commission men who would make a specialty of handling fowla, the business of buying änd shipping poultry might be very proüt&ble. The consumption of poultry In a city like Chicago is immense, and it appears strange that the trade in it is so poorly conducted for the interest of both tbe producer and consumer. The former receives too little and the latter pays too much for poultry. Tbe packing of tbe flesh of turkeys and chickens in tin cans has now become a business of large magnitude, and there appears to be uo reason why car-loads of fowls may not be disposed of to packers when they are not require 1 f jr the retail trade. The demand for canned fowls is increasing at borne and abroad, and with better facilities for transportation and selling it could be extended almost indefinitely The Hop Crop. A correspondent of a London .r writes: The German hop crop may n; be considered as nearly secured, and according to all the reports to hand its yield will read about Il'0,000 hundred weight, or nearly the same quantity as last year. The German consumption averaging about .'iM,000 hundred weight, there will consequently be an overplus of alwut 100,000 hundred weight for export. 1'ricss are, however, obout onethird of last year's quotations lower this year that is to say, hops quoted, for instance, at eighty marks '(quäl to eighty shillings sterling; this year, were quoted at M last setson. Tho reason for this reduction is to be accounted for by tbe want of quality in this year's German hops; the hot forcing weather in July pushed them forward too rapidly at tbe expense of quality, and the 1'ranconian growers in Bavaria, than whom none know the intrinsic value of hops better, push siles wilU a rapidity almost unequaled in any former years at this time of the se.ison, for there are at this moment more than lS.OOo bales of their hops sold already. Prices for Krzwat hops reach from seventyfour to ninety marks (seventy-four shillings sterling), and the highest quotations tor finest bops, patent hops included, are 110 to r0 marks. The German merchants begin to evince some anxiety as to where they are to get the fine hops which are so largely used iot nne iierman neers. A great margin in prices may consequently ba expected be tween really choice hops and the common run ot this year's crop. The Atlantic States of North America announce also a short crop, and it may be expected that fine hops will not be plentiful with them; for where there is a short crop there is generally also a aetiCtency in quality. In sucn circum stances the English hops, which are reported iromaii quarters as Del ng the haest Been red ior more man ten years, ought to enjoy a preierence, ana command hign prices. To all appearances English planters need not be afraid of either German or American com petition; for the English brewer who wants really fine hops will have nj means of get ting them except by baying of the English grower. Cholera Experiments on Aniuitln. Borne interesting and. as some my dera, cruel experiments, writes a correspondent. have just been tried at Marseilles with a view to ascertain how far dumb animals are sus ceptible of choleraic poison. The experi menterswere Drs. Meati, a Swiss physician, and Kietsch, the victims three dogs and four guinea pigs. l'roviüed with the necessary appliances, these gentlemen, following the example of Dr. Koch, who visited their lab oratory and favored them with his advice. gamerea tnousanas oi cnoiera microbes from the intestines of still warm bodies, which the authorities placed at their dis posal, and submitted the creators of the fell disease to various tests, the results of which will be made public for the benefit of science The dogs and guinea pigs were inoculated with bacilli, always with success. Tue creatures operated npon were invaria bly seized with diarrhea and cramp, and otherwise showed the same symptoms as mar toe malady in mankind. The guinea pigs died in forty-eight hours at tbe utmost, tbe dogs in four days. The guinea pigs in other respects manifested mnch greater sas ceptibility to the virus than the dogs In buu ui mocuiiuns u toe experimenters in ooe instance injected the virus into thi guinea pig s intestinal canal. It died of cholera To make tbe inoculation operate more surely they also tied up the excretory binary unct and injected tne virulent mat ter into tbe duodenum. In this way thev proved that bile is a hindrance to tbe de velopment of the microbes. In the blood of "cholerized" guinea pigs, as in that of man. tue globules a-e so softened as to prevent mem irom piling (seropiler), and they bs come deformed by reciprocal cotnpressioa Ibis peculiarity is common to varioas conditions of asphyxia. It is suggested that practical conclusions may be drawn from these fasts For instance, the inoculation of does and guinea pigs is a sure wav of diagnosing cholera. When, henceforth, a town or a country is threatened by the ep'demic, and doctors are in doubt aa to the true character of a patient's symptoms, they may obtain positive knowledge within a few hours by injecting directly into a guinea pig's duodenum part of the contents of the patient's intestinal canal. A second conclusion concerns a prophylactic against cholera. The gastric juice and the bile are capable of destroying the microbes, and these two secretions are largely excreted In the process of digestion rendered necessary by a meal, but they are hardly excreted at all when liquid alone passes through tbe stomach. Hence contaminated water is much less dangerous if drunk with a meaf than when taken by itself. The parts played by indigestion and diarrhea are of the same order, a fact which to regarded as a decisive confirmation of the relation between cholera and bacilli discovered by Dr. Koch. Drs. Meati and Rietsch repeated their experiments lait week in the rharo laboratory before the hospltil physician, the medical students, and the delegates from Barcelona. Digging Late Potatoes. I Sf. Lonla Republican. It is cot advisable to dig late potatoes until they art fully ripe, yet they should not

be allowed to remain in the ground for any !

considerable length of time arter they are fully ripe. It is poor economy to allow them to remain in tbe ground and run the risk of damage by frost or slight freezing that we are liable to have at any time after the 1st of October. Of course, there is no certainty when we will have frost, but it may come when we are poorly prepared for it, and hence it is good policy to bave everything in readiness that can well be done. If possible dig when the soil is dry. If the ec ll is wet the dirt sticks to the potatoes and yon are obliged to handle considerable more dirt than ia strictly necessary. I have always found it a good plan to sort potatoes as fast as they are dug and then throw tbem directly into baskets or boxes. It saves considerable handling and is preferable to throwing them into piles and then being obliged to pick them up again. If potatoes are to be jutted oat yon will save time by cleaning off a place in the field and spreading on a layer of straw, and as fast as the baskets or boxes are tilled they can be carried to the place and emptied where they are to remain; this will save handling. Care should always be taken not to bruise the potatoes any more than strictly necessary. In sorting over throw out all that are scabby or have ratten spots in them. It is poor economy to save the small potatoes; better throw them out and feed the stock. They are more profitable for feeding tban for anything else, and are worth less for seed than anything else. If yon can not afford to feed them then boil them with the skins on and eat them. They are worth more to eat than to plant. If you want to save seed for spring planting select medium-sized smooth potatoes of good shape and as clean, so far as regards spots or scabs are concerned, as possible. Give them a resscnab-e time to dry. It there is danger cf frost at night cover well with straw or old tacks. After they are well dried cover over with straw and then with sou to be sore of not freezing during winter. The soil should be at least eighteen inches thick. Even then it is a good plan later on be'm tbe coldest weather seta in to apply an I'-d;-tional covering of straw or coarse manure. It is often a question which is the most profitable, to market in the fall or put away until spring, ily rule is there is a general good crop and prices rule low, if I can realize fifty cents per bushel I will sell in preference to keeping over; while if the crop is light generally, and yet from local causes the price is low, 1 prefer to store away. Considering the risks, from freezing and rotting, I would Ejefer selling at fifty cents in the fall to o'ding until spring for seveuty-flve. It is not good economy to sell off so low that yon will be obliged to buy for your own rre in the spring. He sure, then, to save a rO.d supply for home consumption. W. J. She hit erp. Eldon, Mo. FA KM JOTEi. An authority says that when wind-breaks in the form of hedges, or straight rows of trees are not desirable, a gronp of evergreens will turn the currents and break the force of tbe blast. It is well also to note that on the cold side generally, of course tbe north and west, is the place to set the very hardiest trees. Among tbem birch, poplar and willow rank first. The birch is the hardiest of all our trees, and may be planted very close as a wind-break. A Connecticut farmer, who Las been feeding ensilage quite irt ely to a large herd of fine cattle, states that one of his bulb, a two-year-old, fed upon ensilage, with two quarts of grain per day, gained over three pounds liie weight daily Irom December to February. Ensilaeo is excellent food for siock, but should be made up of a variety of plants, and mnst have ai rived at a degree of perfection in which the food elements have attained to nearly their fullest complement. A correspondent'of the American Agriculturist says that color in the skin of a cow indicates color in the butter, lie has never seen a yellow-skinned cow that gave pale butter, or a very rich colored tkin in a cow that did not give yellow or a yellowish batter all through the winter. When the yolk, which eives this color in the ears, tail and skin begins to show in the calf, it will probably never show less, and what butter the cow gives will be of good color. Mr. ß. W. Grant, of Massachusetts, thinks ensilage can be preserved whole instead ot in the finely cut condition, and that it will keep much better. II13 theory as to the sn periority of whole material over that which is cut is that the less the stalks are bruised or LTOKen, ana tne lees exposure ci cut or broken surfaces or substances to the air, the Ices liable it is to decomposition, just as the apple with the skin nnkroken will k-?ep, while one bruised or reduced to pulp will quickly decay. The Indiana Farmer says: "A pomolo:ist recently made an important experiment with soft soap on the codling moth. The soap was diluted with water and given an unusually strong odor of carbolic acid. It was thsn sprayed thoroughly through the tree once a week by means of a fountain pump. The tree thus treated bore a heavy crop of fruit, with not one wormy apple. A tree twenty feet away which had not been treated, bore less fruit, and three-fourths of it was wormy." r. äi. Augur, 01 Middietown, Conn., pomoiogi't 01 the btate Hoard of Agriculture. claims that twenty pound of Concord grapes can De grown as easily as ten pounds 01 Dela ware, but as the latter variety usually br ng; two or more times as high a price as 'die former, there is uo great difference in the net profit of tbe two sorts. Six tons is a good yield of Concords per acre, and there are single vineyards on the banks of tbe Hudson Iliver from which ninety tons are annually shipped to market. To graft grape vines, lay the canes down. cut out the buds at each joint, plunge a anue airectiy into tne nodes, and insert id; cions through the joints; the buds having been removed, their places are supplied by cions or graits. ana cell circulation is soon established. The cions are prepsred as for cleft grafting, except that a shoulder is loft on either side, which rets on the cut surface of the cane. The cane and the inserted cions are then covered with soil to the uoper buds. To give some idea of the value of tile drainage, it may be stated that on the sto:k farm ot M. V. Dunha-n. at Warne. 111., sev eral hundred acres of lind remained continually wet during the entire year, 3) muca so that horses and cattie could not venture u pon it. Tbe owner bcan to vise tile drain, and now the fields that were previously use!es3 grow luxuriant crops, the large, heavy Per cheron hones, which are used upon the far on passing over the Leids with heavy loads without the slightest difficulty. The quality of butter depends immediately upon the character ot the cow's foo l, and should put tbe cautious dairyman upon lis guard to see that his cows cannot get any kind of food that will injure the quality of the milk. Ilence he should be sure to destroy all ths weeds in his pasture even more catefully than he does i a his own cornfield, and as water, when tainted, will work the same evil aa bad food, he should see that only a pure article is within reach of the cows. Western Agriculturist. As a beef animal the Swiss Is very highly commended. Matura cows weigh from 1,000 to 1,300 pounds, and fat steers from 2.000 to 2,500, and mention is made of one weighing 3,000 pounds. The milk is unusually rich, and the annual yield is from 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. The average weight of a herd of these cows kept io Germany was 1.235 pounds, and their average yield of rnilkfor a year was 5,704 pounds. There are so few of this breed in tbe United States that data concerning them are quite meagre. There are not so many good plowmen now aa formerly, in part, doubtless, a result of using a sulky plow, in which extra skill in plowing does not count. Another reasm, probably, is that few hired men now under, stand the art of setting a plow so that it will run easily for both team and holder. The plow should run level, the point neither dig

ging downward nor pointing no. It is bat the work of an instant to point the plow

right for one who understands it. Plowing is an art. A cow's cud is no part of its system; it is a part ot its food, which is brought up to the mouth from the paunch by a muscular action the reverse of swallowing, and ia then chewed over again. The common expression, "losing the end," is misleading. There is nothing to be lost excepting the activity of the stomach by which these portions of the food are forced np to be -remasticated. In case of indigestion or other disease the stomach does not act in this way, and the cow stops chewing her cud until restored to health. Farming has not yet reached that state of development when yon can say, do this or do that and yon can bae a crop of so many bushels to the acre. The fact is, the farmer stands nearer to the forces of nature than other classes. Clouds, storms and winds and the mighty hurricane make war upon bis labors, and the lightnings of Heaven vent their wrath upon him; but the Good Book has promised seed time and harvest, and as long as the sun gives heat and the clouds meisture he will continue -the strug gle. The curculio, which is so destructive to the plum crop, is of late years very dam aging to tne apples, ine apple maggot is another pest. It burrows in the fruit, sev erai ot them being 01 ten lound in the same apple. The best prevention is to keep Bheep and swine in the orchard. They will eat all infested apples and thereby destroy the larva?, which, if unmolested, will do greater damage next season. In order, however, to exterminate such pess the farmers should unite in tbe warfare against them, us a single individual can do but little. Ihe question among some farmers in regard to heaves in horses is whether the trouble ia completely curable. In reply to an inquiry a corresponent ot the Nebraska 1 armer states that be has known complete cures to be euected in this manner: lake 1 quart of new milk and stir into it a teaspoon iui 01 aqua iortis, weich win curdle or thicken tbe milk. Stir this into the oats which are fed at neon for three days; then stop three days and repeat. Although the remedy is simple, states the correspondent, It has euected a cure in the most dimcult cases wherever tried. . . a23 Josiah Hoopes, of Eastern Pennsylvania, says that experiments with many leading fertilizers have established the fact that noth ing can compete with tbe best animal manure for producing vigorous growth in young trees and shrubs. Applications of wood ashes, ground bone, phosphates, etc., answer an excellent purpose In connection with stable manure, but alone they are less successful To which we may add that the best way unquestionably to apply ground bore is to mix it through heaps of ferment irg manure in tcin successive layers or in compost heaps. it is supposed, as was recently done by a large French farmer in Algiers, that all sorts of weeds msy be cut and advantageously put into silos. During a very wet season m Algiers various rubbish overgrew the soil, such as big thistles, charlock, yellow chrysanthemum and other beautiful flowers nd wtf ds. These were cut when gr. en and juii 7 and put in tbe silo with lucern and other grass, ana ruaue about as excellent rocd-r as Inditn corn passed through the stalk cutter and then siloed. This hint may be applica ble here when a wet season gives a large growth or weeds. in curing clover tee sun only is necessary to wilt it after cutticg. When this is well dene the clover should he put in cocks, small at the base but as high as they can be well made. The coctcs may be tramped some in making them. In a day or two they become hot wltrm an must be oiened out, but not until all dew and ram has dried off. Take the cocks down in flakes without shaking to viect8 and expose to the sun, After being thus exposed for an hour or two the clover can be removed to the stack or mow. Each layer in the stack should have a slight sprinkllDg ot Ealt. The following remedy is recommended tor a horse having scratches: Put his feet and legs in bran poultices for thirty-six hours. then wash clean with warm water and castile soap, and when dry rub the pits of his heels with tne following: Take Goulard s extract and olive oil. equal parts, mixed. Do not allow them to get wet after the first washin but keep them clean by robbing well with a coarse cloth. Give the following powders night and morning in his feed: Take nitrate of potash, five; pulverized resin, one ounce; mix; mate mio twelve powaers; give regu lar daily exercise. rrorn repeated experiments 1 am con vinced that vines should hav the branches of trees to climb on for the first few years. Even when in bearing condition in the vineyard with wire trellis they will show their choice when a branch or vine can catch bold of the branches of a tree, dead or alive. It will grow twice tbe length that one will on the wires. My young vines when set in the vineyard usually get a young peach tree with the side branches on it. The second year a larger one or a thin pole. The third year a wire trellis. If a person couli get osage orange or locust trees witn tne limbs left on, I believe we would grow more grapes than on wire trellis. Such grape supports, if well secure before setting, would last many years. I never saw a finer cron of Concord grapes than when a four-year-old peach tree was used for stakes with the bracches stubbed back. It was a beautiful sight and looted quite natural. Correspond ence Kural World. The difference between six months' clips atd year's clips In value, says the Wool Grower, is more marked at this time thau at any time previous. A wool buyer lately lookiDgover certain clips was heard to re mark; "That short stuff will Lave to be shipped; nobody knows its value and every body is afraid of it" It is apparent that this is correct by the bids on wool offered for sale, especially when the wool is fine and the half year's clip is particularly short, as it is in some cases. As between six months wool and year's clips, the dill'ereace varies from two to six cents per pound, the differ ence 01 two cents being on coarse and me dium grades and widening to six cents on the hrer grades, reducing the value of tine wools to that of Mexican improved or straight Mexican. The explanation given to account for this diflerence in value is that merino wools are clothiDg wools and reauire to be a ceriain length; that the full year's clip is Done tcolcng; when cut in two the value as a clr.thing wool is lost, and the wool is osed in luierior cloths or by batters.

GOVERNOR HENDRICKS. His Splendid Reception at Louisville. Hotel Serenade and an Impromptu Speech At the KxpoHitlon The Jlriuory f lN'.ei. In the afternoon, at Louisville, Ky., on Tuesday, Mr. Hendricks held an informal r jception, a stream of people pouring through his room for five hours, during which he was constantly on hia feet He conversed with pentlenien living in nearly every State and Territory, and every hnsiness and professional interest in the city was represented by some caller. As the evening wore on, an elegant brass bacd from I'rinceton, Ind , come to tbe rotunda of tba hotel, and discoursed some bee music. This done, there was si.' iLtr vociferous demand for Hendricks. Vie was resting at the time, but arose, -si eared at a point overlooking a magnificent auaience, and said: Fellow-Citizens I bave visited tms city to eujoy with you the products . i tbe fieid and factory.' rs well as art treasures no open to the world in your great exposition. lr this evi.ience ef the development and progres (if our common country. we all have an equal in t rest At other tim.- we are Kepubhcans or Ieiiiicrats, but here political parti eh difapixvr before the priue of American citizenship. I feel that I ought not to ad Ires s vou as paitbats I A. voice: "uive us some old-timel'e-mocracy-'M, though the question of government and agriculture are cloteiy interwoven. Democracy and tbe Industrie are nearly allied, i a. .vo.te: "Tell us about '70."J 1 think the temperature of public thought is about the saae, and that the pt-ople bave determined to repeet in ltM the popular electoral victory of IbTC. (Voice: 'Thf-y won'tcount you out this time." Well, let us all do our duty and avoid borrowing trouble. Le: us faithfully discharge the obligations at present devolving upon us. We will do the work faithfully, overwhelmingly, and leave the result with Heaven. I will meet you in the exposition building. Now, permit me to bid you good evening. Three cheers for Hendricks were ;:iven with a will, followed by three cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks. The Louisville Exposition, s;ored with samples of American industry and culture, flooded with electric light, was a miracle of beauty that might awaken rapture, delight in any bosom. Mr. Hendricks prefaced his remarks by regretting insufficient preparation for :t a address that would do justice to so grand an occasion. The address was wholly extemporaneous, but some features can beat be de scribed in his own language. In this exposition I mot with citizens not only ot Kentucky, but also of Indiana; and, therefore, I am constrained to say that it is not altogether an exposition of Kentucky, but somewhat of Indiana. iCheers. And 1 tbint it is a very interesting circumstance that the men and women and toys 8nd girls of Indiana and ot Kentucky meet here to enjoy all that is attractive in this great exposition. It is no ordinary matter when the people in great crowds irom different States come together to cultivate the taste by tbe contemplation ot works of art, and to cultivate the judgment by tbe contemplation of works of science and of sklil. Here is exhibited the product or the rich land of Kentucky. I have heard very much said about that beautiful and rich land you have in Kentacky. And so I might turn to Indiana and spe.;lc of the products of ber soiL Exceedingly rich, perhaps, not so inviting in appearance as the Bluegrass region, yet taken together, what a country they make, ana what ia there that divides the rich lands of Indiana from the beautif al lands of Kentacky? 'Tis but a line. This minute you are In Kentucky, and when you pass the low-we tor mark of the Kreat river you are in Indiana, and scarcely does the passenger perceive when he passes from one great State into the other. What a beautiful relation this between us. So close, and yet in some particlars so divided. Separate, and yet united. Separate in that each of tbe great Sta: controls its own fortunes; united in tbat they stand together ss a part of the great confederacy of American States Cheers. 1 So I congratulate you, my fellow-citizens of Kentucky, aud my friends of Indiana, at your opportunities to visit a place of such exquisite exhibition. I congratulate you upon the opportunities you have to cultivate your tastes and to cultivate your judgment I congratulate the farmer upon the opportunity be has to lav the product cf hia farm alongside the prod acta of ths farm of another section, that In tbe competition tbe best may survive. I congratulate the skilled mechanic of your great city when the product of his skill comes into competition with that of skilled mechanics of other States, and all men bave the opportunity to judge which should survive This is our country. It Is yonrs and mine. It is no other people's country. We invite tbem to come. We are rejoiced wl.en tney come; but they come to make themselves citizens of our country, obedient to our law and reepectinc our custom. : and we stand together to maintain tbe same system of laws and tee same wonderful Constitution that Constitution that recocni;es the separate exiaience of tbe Mutes, and at the acme time tne union of all tbe States. I have happened to be present on several occasions during the present campa'ga hen Idr. Hendricks was broueht face to face with a multitude of his fellow-citizens Demonfitrrsjions so earnest, to hart felt, I have never witnessed before, testifying favor to any citizen of the Kepublic. Returning home from the exposition, I asked: "Mr. Hendricks, did the people ever make ss much over you before as they are doing in this campaign?" "Nothing like it," was his answer. Repeating this conversation to an eminent gentleman, he observed: "It is the memory of 1 876. It broke loose at the Chicago Convention, and it will continue until the fraud ia redressed by seating the only available member of the grand old firm, Tilden and Hendricks." Visitor.

Anchovies are put up in Marquette, Mich., that are superior to the imported article. At certain seasons of the year the lay is liter ally swarming with herring about three inches long. These are caught and cured in salt and spices, and the result is anchories that sell readily for $1 per gallon. It is the most profitable item connected with the fishing business. 100 Doses One Dollar is inseparably connected with Hood's SarsaEarilla, and is true of no other medicine. It i an unanswerable argument as to strength and economy, while thousands testify to its superior blood-purifying and strengthening qualities. A bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla contains 100 doses, and will last a month, while others will average to last not over a week. Hence, for economy, buy Hood's ßartsparilla.
