Vermin ob Tnrkies Fattening Cattle eb ami Foot Rot on Sheep ijncuttur Not Fostered Household Hints and Farm Notes, F-tc. ?prontic gwrtt Potatoes. (Prairie Farmer. The sweet potato can not be consiuWe l a general vegetable crop in tbe North. In fact sweet rotaioea are not as commonly grovn here these days of rapid transportation as they were a quarter of a entnry ago. This fsculent isacativeofboththeEistand West Indies, and requires very warm weather to grow freely. It belong to tbe Convolvulus or bindweed family. Southern New Jersey has long been famed for its sweet potatoes, the soli being a warm sand, pre-eminently adopted to this crop. In the North, at least, it is hardly worth while attempting cultivating them in stiff soils, but in a warm sandy loam, a crop of fair quality can be raissd from the "sprouts." In the Northern and Middle States a hot bed is necessary to start these sprouts . G lass is desirable, though we have known fair suc cess by means of oiled calico instead. The hot bed is prepared in the usual way, generally about the middle of April in the North, so that the plants may be ready for planting by the first of June, which is as early as the soil becomes warm enough. The bed should te well flattened lown, and a covering orieaf mould and sand be placed uniformly over the manure. The sweet potatoes are then laid evenly over the whole space, very neariy touching each other, all the larger tubers bainR cut in half lengthwise, and laid Hat on the bed, with the cut side down. As soon as the eves or bnds show signs of startin;;, sift an inch or two of sand over the entire bed, covering the potatoes. This gives the youn sprouts a chance to throw out a mass of rcots at the base. Aj koii as the weather is warm enough the land is thrown up with the plow into ridges four feet apart, on the top of which tfce plants are set, one foot apart. The plants when taken from the hotbed should 0 a mass of youufr shoots four or live inches Dich, fach individual shoot nein? a plant. In a short time a second croo of snrouts will ap pear, and be yet in time for planting out, or to fill spa-X'S made vacant by the ravages of cut-worms. Tec sprout should be set Hire fourths of its length In the soil, leaving little more than the green leaves exposed. The sort best adapted for home trrowth, und indeed the best in flavor, is the yellow Nanscmond, which originate! in NatisemoriJ County, Virginia. The tubers are large, yel low, lull at the middle, tapenne t the ends, f!esh yellow, dry, unetious, sweet and fine favored. It is early lit for the table, more ctrtam 01 maturine in short seisins, and suci eeds in less favorable soils. ood crops have been obtained even in .Maine and -anadn. There is a red Nanse-mond. als said t do fairly well in the North. The oilier ki'pK that are often seen in our markets, as the large white. New Orleans purple, American red and vellow Carolina, are better adapted for cultivation in the long summers tf the outn. Colden ((.erman) Millet. (Ameriean Agriculturist. To produce a pood crop, millet needs rich land made very fine. Its 100 s are surface feeders, and will not go down like corn roots. lherelore tne lard should oe made mellow and compact efore sowing Ihe seeds, and then not use over forty-eight pounds to the acre, sown broadcast, and cover very lightly. It leaves the land in the hnest possible con diticn for a crop of wheat. Golden millet should not be sown until the tirstweekin Jur.e, and it will then be ready to cut in sevenly-livftdays. Cut as soon as the heads are all well shown and developed i. e. the seeds just going into the milk. Then the crop does not exhaust the land, as it does when it is allowed to stand and mature the seed. Tbe seeds when matured are verv hard, and are not digestible; so if allowed to form and develop tbe grain about fcrtv bushels i-r acre 1 lost as a feeding element, and the value of the foliage lessoned to a correspond in si ex tent, as it becomes "woody," and not only looses a j art of its food value, but calls upon the dieestive enraris for eitra exertion to as similate it, while it renders, for the outlay, no adeiuate comia-nsation. Millet has no superior as a hay ration for milch cows, Ihe report we occasionally have of injury to horses by feedinir, millet hay. no doubt came altogether from hay which was too ripe when cut. Millet straw out of which rie. grain has been thrashed may be fed to cattle and hogs without harm and is quite nutritions. Sweet Potato Culture. From the latter part of May, to July 1, the rooted sweet potato sprouts should be transplanted to the lield or garden. l.reak the land thoroughly, but not necessarily deep: low, level and damp lands will not do; high, dry, mellow or loamy soils are best, and the fresher the better. I.ay ofT rows three and a half or four feet apart, and in these furrows apply 00 or iw pounds of anunoniated superphosphate containing pot ash, per acre. If hon?e-made inamre is ti sei?, be sure that it is old and thorou hly decomposed, and, if possible, mix some ashes and acid phosphate with it. Cover tbe furrow by tunning 011 each side of it with a one-horse turn plow, thus making a narrow ridge, on which plant the sups eighteen inches f part; keep clean of weed- and grass until the vines tein to run freely, then hill up and lay by. Loosen up the vines ocea sionallv. A fork Lee is good for the pur iose. Jost before or soou after the fro-it in the fall, dig the potatoes and store away in a cry, warm place for winter. lleglnninfr it Comb Foundation. I Farm, Field ami Stockman J If tbe lees are assisted with a small begin ning of comb as a foundation it will g-eatly lessen their labor and afford the bee-keeper an opportunity for attaching the c.:nb to any particular portion of the hive. The material for. beginning the comb is simply wax pressed into proer shape, which often comes in sheets specially prepared for the purpose and the bee-keeper has hut to cut or break on a small piec and fasten it tn place by heating tbe end with a match or lighted

candle, it may seem hut a very s:naii matter to begin a comb foundation, bo far as the lessoning ef the labor of the bees is concerned, but although every portion of the labor saved is an advantage to the bees, the placing of the foundation where mostly desiied by tbe bee-keeper is of valuable assistance to him when he comes to the hive for honey later on, after tbe busy season is over. Fahlons on the Farm. i American Agriculturist.) Among the spring styles annually becoming more prevalent in many section? of toe country is the "slicking up" of farmers' door-yards, gardens, etc., the improvement and adornment of rural homes oy making better fecres, arbors, etc., and the planting of trees, ehrubs and flowers, as well as the repairing and painting of buildings and the like. This is a very laudable fashion, for it not only beautities home, rendering its inmates more contented and happy, but adds to its pecuniary value, an item that would tell favorably should a sale of the premises become desirable or necessary. The fashion of thus fixing up about the house usually extends over the farm, so that the whole piemises exhibit an imptoved appearance. There are better fences and outbuildings, Erter orchards, more gates and fewer aggra1 lllSOl !

vating bars, and other permanent improvements which tend to render the farmstead

iL ere attractive and valuable. Let this lashion prevail widely, and both tbe people and the country will be greatly benefited. beveral other farm la-stuons worthy of imi tation prevail among good husbandmen. Among them may be briefly mentioned the, care of domestic animals, thorough and timely cultur;, promptness in planting and harvesting croj", the judicious marketing of farm products, the avoidance of trading with strange peddlers or traveling agen (especially those wanting antoeraphs;, and the wise ttvle or pur-!iasing oniy from persons you know, or such parties as are indorsed by trustworthy authorities. Covering Seed. The proper coverirg of seed, after thev have been defaisited in the drill or rov, has much to do vi ith the successor tle crop. Jf in covering, the seeds are buried deep th.it the germ (the little ldant within th see!) carl not reach tbe virfaee, itdks. Thousli the seed may have been perfectly good, there will be no crop. Among the various devices forcovenrjjjstedsm tee held, one of toe best is made of strong, tough timber, ene men thick, about eighteen or tweuty inches long", and six inches wide, slightly curved underneath. This board may be attached to any common single one horse plow stock, by usid? the same heel bolttaatis used lor fast ening on the plow steels. When the soil is l-ne and free from rocks, stumps, etc., this board covers beautifully by running it over a furrow in which cotton seed or corn has been dropied or (sown, if the soil be of a tenacious nature aimliaole to bake or harded after a rain, it is not best to use This hoard. bat in its etead a two pronged or forked I low. Vermin on Turkeys. i Krim I World. I-estroy all ihe vermin on the mother or the veiling will soon look sleepv, dwindle and die. There are two kinds of lice that trouble turkeys; one is long ami black, found usually on tbe wing and tail fe,U'ir: the other is somewhat like a bedbug. If ths mother is thoroughly washed with wann water and carbolic soap on a bright, warm raorra morning she will be relieved and the lice destroyed. Kerosene will kill tbe lice ami the turkeys, too. Turkeys don't eat much the first few days after they are hatched. I never feed with raw dough; baked bread made of unsifted cornmeal, crumbled line and moistened with clabber or buttermilk, is the best food you can give. Cut up cabbage leaves very line and drop to the little ones; don't cut many at a time until they learn to eat them. They like everything very fresh; feed often and" jus, a little until Jhey learn to eat, then three times a day as much bread and greens as they will eat. It is astonishing to see the ijtiantiti s of greens they will consums. A e have realized from S'JO to a year from the sale of tin keys, besides keeping plenty for family use. "We found it more profitable to dress hefoie marketing than to sell on foot. Fatteiiiug Cattle. I Prairie Parmer. The best and cheapest method of feeding to fatten cattle: is a double luestion, the feeder and the fei. Indoor Feeding. Iotibtless the bBst way to make a steer Izi is to feed it plenty of corn, in a variety of forms, with all the best bay it can eat at a feel no more, as ligestion waits on appetite. A dry. clean, warm bed. pure water in plenty, about 45 (to prevent chilling), should be furnished. The bovine will then I.um- a good time, the feder wont loo much work when beef is low. One n.aii needed to two cars of cattle, blocker, "0; grass, two acres, rent !; corn, SO bushels. N) rents : v'l; hay, one ton, -i, fcr winter feeding. Total cost. ';. Falty ami fibrous fodder of the best kind. Outdoor l'f filing The cheapest way is the most natural one. In the fall, when grassfat, go into the fiesh-picked corn-tieht and pather tbe nubbins left there to finish up with as long as the corn lasts, then take the animals to well-watered and shaded woods, in a well fenced condition, with a large tank of living water, three-fourths of it buried to keep the water above freezing, so they will not shade, and fed them the cut corn crop just as it crew, as every young, sound beast has a mill of its own that is good at grinding coin. As before: Steer, i'M; grass, $0; corn, two acres, so bushels: rent, ij-tj; labor, . 12; straw, 1 ; total-cost, $ö.. Difference in methods, 1 1 per steer. In outdoor lot, six cars of cattle are easier to tend with fodder stocked than two in barn. Hogs glean tbe waste in both cases. Scab and Foor-Kot in Sheep. j Wool Jo lrnal. j Somebody has said, "Nothing succeeds like success." So long as there are good results, men work with energy and judgment; but when trials come, and there are no profits to encourage effort, they become careless, indit'erent and tcglectful. In sheep-raising this is as true as in anything else. When sheep are profitable it is easy to take gcod care of them. They teem to eat less, die less, and make nicer nianey and in less time than any other stock on tbe farm. At such times there is a real joy and enthusiasm in sheep; sheepmen seem never tired and attending to and talking abuut their sheep; they carry wool in their pockets to show to each other, and it is pleasantly hinted that they have "wool in their teeth. ' Cut when the depression conies sheep men are mum on sheen and wool topis. And if you go to their sheep barns you will lind they have gotten careless and the sheep are doii:g badly. The owner will declare t-i you that he can not tee w hy his sheep are looking so badly; he will dt Clare be feeds them tbe same as he used to, but all to no purpose; he can't understand what ails them. The sheep can not tell, and only an old sheepman knows that they have not been paying, and consequently have been Legleced. Scaband foot-rot always follow depressions in prices of wool. As foon as prices begin to come up somebody tegiu8 to ask. how to cute these ills. While these two ailments are serious enough they ate by no means the worst known to sheep, provided the (lock has been well led and kept in good health. They can be cured by any one who will take the time and j:ive the attention and go ot the trilling expense. No one ought to buv a scabby or foot rot Mock at prices of sound sheep. Such Mocks ure not held at such good prices, eilLer. They are c f ten sacrificed on account of their discostd condition. Had I such a flock, they should be cure ', and not discejiinted one cent. Were I buying, tho'igh," it would be another thing altogether, then expedience and skill should be worth sometLirg to me; these were bought and paid for years ai:o, when young in the business. A careless man, who would allow his tlo;k to become thus diseased, deserves to be the logcr. And the man w he proposes to cive time and pains to fitting up m diseased Hock, onght to make some money by it. Just here, be it remarked, we need severe laws on the subject in every S'.ate. Australia has a law en scab that is a model. Southern latitudes need auch a law more than Northern, hut there is needed a stature on this everywhere. Foot-rot depends up)n toi's a poo-.l deal, llocky ami alkali sjils will cur J foot-rot. Yet in Vermont many Hecks hare fcot rot, and it is a shame to their owners, for there ought to be none there. It is due to carelessness there and everywhere el.se. Ii. M. Cell. Agiirtilliire Not I'otered. v I Kural World. I Missouri has nearly 000,000 farms. Say that they average 100 acres each and that the land is worth 1" an acre, they are worth H'0.!00,(;(jo. The valuation of the livestock on these farms agregate about $70, OoO, 000, so that the farms and stock of Missouri are worth not less than f ' OO.ooO.OoO. This enormous wealth is widely distributed, almost totally unorganized, and is capable of much greater development. The d uty of protecting and fostering the industry of agriculture that has produced this wealth is devolved, by Jawf on the State Hoard of Agriculture. To do this the State sets apart' from its revenues the sum of $2,500. If this tana, is increased by $003, it

Iben will amount to tbe magniricerjt turn of one cent to each farm in tbe State. What wonderful things onght the 8tat Poard be able to do with so lavish a sum given it by a prodigal Legislature, barely the good sense and judgment of onr farmers will not allow that this industry which is the "mother and faithful nurse" of all other industries and civilization, shall be so shamefully neglected. Suppose tbe money given to the 8'ate Hoard for the advancement of agriculture was increased to ten cenits a farm, the price of a plug of tobacco or two cheap cigars. It would then amount to $30, 000. Kven though the farmers themselves contributed the entire amount, ought they begrudge it? lint wlien the sum is raised by general taxation (as it should be, for it is for the good of all ), they certainly ought to be enough alive to their own interests to insist that their Kepresentatives and Senators do set spart at least that amount. 'The work done by the Board is largely coOperative; wbateverthey do is forthe benefit of all the farmers o( the State. A small S'diu goes :t long ways when judiciously spent in such a way that it will do the greatest goovl to the greatest number. May tbe farmers think of this and say whether the State should not be taxed a sum to exceed ODe cent a farm for the us$ of tbe State Hoard of Agriculture in fostering their interests. Tbe amount of revenue raised yearly by the State to meet current expenses, outside of tbe payment of interest on bonded indebtedness, is more than irl.300.o00. The revenue is raited from the total wealth of the State which, according to tbe Auditor's report for 18S1, was assessed at $;so,l!):.,P2.. I-Ual estate outside oftity and town lots represent.

If farmers own one-fourth of the 1s7,.hm).0h of personal property in the State, this added to their real estate and stock make their tax

able wealth upwards of Uio.ooo.OOO, or more than half of the total in the State. They, therefore, pay more than half of the taxes. Are they not, then, entitled to a larger portion of the State's revenue to assist in developing their industry, when in doing so everybody else will also be benefited? HOUSEHOLD HINTS, Fleas, Ktc Pennyroyal, strewn under carpets and in the drawers of furniture infested with cockroaches and fleas, will destroy the vermin. Suet Tudding. One cup chopped saet, one cup raisins, one cup molasses, one cup milk, three cups Hour, oue teaspoonful baking rowdir, one teaspoonful salt. Jloil three Lours. Worth Knowing. Salt will curdle miik; therefore, in preparing milk toast, sauces, ecramblei eggs, or anything of which milk is the foundation, do not add the salt till the pan has left the lire. Nice Fruit Cake. Six eggs, half a cup of milk, one cup of sugar, one pint of ruoHsses, three cups of butter, one teaspoonful of soda, spices to suit taste, raisins, currants, citron ami Hour. This cake is very rich an 1 will keep a long time. Kemove Stains foom Marble. To remove stains from statuary marble, take ejual part of fresh oil of vitriol and lemon juice: shake up these substances very thoroughly in a bottle; wet the spots with the mixture and in a few minutes afterward nip with a soit linen cloth, and the spot will be found to have entirely disapieared. Apple Custard. Take a half a dozen good apples, and remove the skin and cores. Cook them until tbey begin to soften in water to cover (hem. Then im' them inapulding dish and sugsr them. Ueat eigbi eggs with four spoonfuls cf siuar, and add three pints of milk; pour this over the apples, and bake 1 ali an hour. A Charming Dish. A dish that needs to be more generally known is made by chopping some veal that has been cooked very tine; season it highly with pepper and silt and a little mustard and bind it with the yo'k of an egg; then take a firm head of cabbace, cut out the hear: and till the spa:e with veal ; tie the cabbage up in a cloth and let it boil until tender. Some cooks use part cold boiled ham ml part veal or chicken. lotato Salad. Boil si or eight potatoes, and when cold cut them into very thin slices; a salad bowl must then be rubbed with half a clove of garlic; some finely chopped chervil or parsley strewn over the potatoes in the bowl, and pepper, seit, oil and vinegar poured over the whole, and well stirred; the quantity of oil should be in the proportion of one tbllespoonful to less than a tablespoonful of wLite Fiench vinegar. Pe a' ant's Soup. Chop up some cabbage, carrots, onions and celery; put them on the lire in a saucepan, with some fresh butter and salt. As soon as the vegetables are soft, moisten them with stock and simmer over a slow fire for three hours; add sullicient water for the soup required, and simmer for half an hour. It is better if either lentils or haricot beans have been boiled in the added water. At the end of half an hour put in some chopped sorrei leaves and lettuce, and bail. Four the soup over crusts of bread in the soup tnreen. To Clean Crass. Make a mixture of one part common nitric acid and one half part sulphuric acid in a stone jar, having also ready a pail of fresh water and one-half part sulphuric acid in a stone jar, having also ready a pail of fresh water and a box of sawdust. The articles to be treated are dipped into the acid, then removed into the water, and finally rubbed with sawdust. Tais immediately chanj.es them to a brilliant color. If the brass Las become greasy, is it first dipped in a strong warm solution of so la; this "cuts" the grease, so that the acid has free power to ac. Swiss Pudding. One teacupful of tinr; four table-spoonfuls of butter; threeof suar; one pint of milk : five eggs: the rine of a lemon.

Pour the boding milk on this and return to the boiler. e'ook five minut- stirring tbe first two. Ueat the yolks of4t le cgza and the sugar together, ami fctir into the boiling mixture, liemove from the lire immediately. When cold, at the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff brorh. Have a three-quart mold well buttered. Turn the mixture into this, and steam forty minute. Turn on a hot cish and serve without Jelay. Cream sauce or a tumbler of currant jelly, melted with the juice of two lemons, should be served with it. German Dumplings Mix a quarter of a pint of lukewarm miik or cream with a small cup of yeast; add an ouace of sugar, two well beaten eggs, three ounces of partly melted butter and a pound of sifted flour. Feat the whole thoroughly until light and spongy : cover with a doth, and let it raise by a gentle wt,rmth. Turn out the dou?h on a well lloured board; cut oft egg-sized pieces and lightly roll tbeni into round balls or ovals. Leave these cn the board to rise again. Put two ounces of butter in a broal, Hat stewpan with a des rtspoonful of sugar, and milk half an inch deep. Let this boil; tae up the cakes gently with a slice, and lay them close together in the boiling milk. Cover with a lid and pat them in the oven till the milk is nearlv dried away, ami the dumplings have a yellow crust. Take them carijully apart, sift stuar over add serve with' any sweet sauce, fruit or sirup. FA It 31 sons. The best vine to cover an old stump or a low trellis is the honeysuckle preferably Hall's.

A nngget ot agricultural wisdom from a Southern contercporary is that clover, good

cultivation and barnyard manure contain, as a rule, all tbe necessary constituents of plact food. The problem of successful farming consists in making the soil increasingly fertile. Front comes of high fertility and excellent tillage. Organic and inorganic matter in tbe soil is what.fornis and fattens tbe plant. Like tbe overfed animal, the soil sometimes suffers from indigestion. It is said that a bee can pull more in proportion to its si.e than a horse. We don't know as to that, but they are quite powerful when they back up to yon and push. Too many fowls have to depend upon the contents of the wash-tub for kricking water. The d'rty soap-suds will be sure to cause disease. Give the hens pure water. The Duroc-Jersey Swine Association is making progress. In two and a half months nearly 100 members were added in eighteen States, and over tiOO names claimed for legist ry. Foison from bees, hornets, spider bites, etc., is instantly arrested by the application of equal parts of common salt and bicarbonate of soda, well rubbed in on the place bitten or fctung. The hens are paying the rent on many a worn-out farm. They are calling people back from the factories to tbe deserted farmhouses. The American eagle will yet be a

hen ü solid worth is ever counted. Tbe editor of tbe Philadelphia Weekly Fress holds that timothy should be added to either blue crass or red-top not that ti mothy i is good in itself as a lawn, or that a good lawn can be made of it alone, but because it gives an immediate ellect. A prairie farmer contributor proposes to keep moles in check by clean cultivation. and encotuag ment of hawks, skunks, owls, rats an dogs. Clean cultivation is good, but the nexthree members ot the combination are as bad as the moles. A standing antidote for poison by poison eak, ivy, etc., is to take a handful of quicklime, dissolve in water, let it stand half an hour, then paint the poisoned parts with it. Three or four applications, it is said, will cure the most aggravated cases. There must be no jerking, no loud words, nothing quick in the movements about the colt, but everything slow in motion. There must be no loud shouting or anj'thingof that sort. The horse has got to be gradually familiarized with the work which he has to do, and his muscular strength must be developed at the same time. With young horses I don't think that there is a better plan for breaking them although I think that that is rather a 1 ad won! than to put them to work upon the plow. I don't believe that there is any way in which the horse's temper can be better developed than by putting him on the plow when be is about three jears old ami teaching him bow to be patient of the obstacles that have to be met in that work. Constipation is claimed to be the chief cause of so many sows eating their young, and so regulating their feed as to prevent this trouble will put an end to their disposition to trj this unnatural diet. For a couple of weeks before farrowing care should be taken lo prevent constipation anion.: the sows by giving such feeds as have an opposite tendency, and those kinds which will promote to the secretion of nnlk. This will preclude the use of corn and similar grains to a great extent and necessitate the feeding of bran mashes, by-products of the dairy, worthless apples, etc. This tratmnt will insure the healthiness cf the sow, and put her in condition to tbe best produce and nourish her young. Both, will be healthy ar d vigorous, am! her blood will be cool, her system in proper condition, and she will not likely develop tbe unnatural tendency of destroying her young. Tbeie are few sorts of land that can not be made productive of either pleasure or profit, and which would not be made to afford both if they were in countries vhere land is scarcer and iabor more plenty. However stfep and rocky land may be, it can be made to produce trees and vines that are both useful and ornaments. There are scarcely any hills or mountains in this country that are not covered with trees, shrubs and vines, if they have been protected from lires. The roots of trees and hardy vines find their way among rocks and obtain all the nutriment they require. All the nut-bearing trees do exceedingly well on these rocky elevations. So do all varieties of evergreens. A hill covered with nut-bearing rees and evergreens presents a very beautiful appearance and ornaments a farm better than expensive buildings do. Many hardy apple trees and graievines do well on these rocky elevations. The like is true of wild plum and cherry trees. A bill covered with trees and vines will soon become a source of delight to the occupants of a farm. If they are fiorn a place where forests abound, it will remind tbeni of their old home. It will be seen and admired by travelers and people living several miles from it. Farrocis need not fear that they shall lose any of the manure by spreading it broadcast apart, even if plants can not get it, when beyond tbeir roots, for most of even the smallest plants spread their roots more than eighteen inches each way. We are informed by one of our most successful and reliable gardeners that he ha? seen the cabbage root exte nd four feet. We have seen them extend more than two feet. But the listance which the roots of plants will spread depends on tbe condition and character of the soil; no doubt if a plant like a cabbage be set in a hsrd soil that has been manured only in tbe hill, there being no current ot plant fod coming from outside of the hill, the roots would naturally make a network over and through the manure placed in the bill, and would have no inducement to grow beyound; it would be very singular indeed if tbey did : put a plant set in a soil that is made very loose and light by mixing the manure with it, will as a natural coasejuence send its roots long distances in various elireclions. because ol the numerous streams of plant food that fill the sn'l; and that plant thus abundantly supplied would make a more rapid growth than one with the roots confined in a limited space, there can be but litte doubt in fact experience prove this to be so.

INDIANA MOONSHINERS Ecw a Clever 0cer Brcke Up a Gar cf Revest Cctliws.

The Attempt Nearly Cots Him His Life The Chief of the Gang Hoodwinked. 'Courier-Journal. 1 In Indiana, on the Knobs back of New Albany, moonshiners were as numerous, not many years since, as they are in the mountrins ana unfrequented portions of Kentucky and Tennessee. About seven years ago tfce citizens of Blue Lick, a little village sixteen miles northwest of Jeffersonville, began to suspect that illicit whisky was being disposed of in their midst. They kept a careful watch, and finally were convinced that some pretended toop-pole traders were the guilty parties. The aid of a United states Marshal was secured, lie relates a thrilling experience while with them that is worthy the pen of a Dicken:- mi character sketching. He went among moonshiners in disguise, and lived am.. them for weeks until finally he learned v re their stills were situated and all other si. ets. He pretended to be a p3or farmer, anu .-quatted on an unoccupied piece of ground that had escaped cultivation on account of tte poor juality of the soil. The fact that it would hardly afford sustenance for a chicken was no drawback to him. With the assistance of a dilapidated mule and a rickety plow which be borrowed from one of the neighbors, an old fellow nameJ "Pap" Wilson, he scratched up the soil and put in his little crop. He had his jiiarters with one of tbe moonshiners above the room where the large family slept, separ;.'-d from him by only a floor of heavy logs :s 1 a carpet of hay. This was reached by ; rough ladder, and light in daytime was aii tted through an aparture which had been .-red through one of the logs. There was no i.- -d of artilicial light as all retired at dark. About the time Mr. Thompson, the Marshal, bad made all the observations Le wanted, his host began to suspect bim, and watched him, which the otlicer noticed at once. He had worked for Finkerton, and had had hsir-breadth escapes out West, but for the first time he felt uneasy. He had to go to work to make his escape with more caution than a man braking prison, for a prisoner has some show for bis lite if he will surrender, but he knew that the first signs of his attempting to escape or betray them, would inevitably cost him his life. Alongside the house was tne wide chimney, built of pol?s and mud, which is usually seen in that neighborhood. Fortunately it was summer time, and he used this to stow away a figure which he had cleverly constiucted from hay. This he was to pat in his bed tbe night of his intended escape. The old man thought the hole cut through the logs too small for any one to make his exit through, and supposed his guest would have to come down the ladder if he tried to escape. At last tbe night came when he was to nuike the attempt. It was raining hard, and the darkness was on'y relieved by an occasional Hash of lightning. Carefully depositing hi straw man in his bed and covering it with all the clothes he could spare, the spy cautiously squeezed through the opening and crept down the outside of the chimney, the projections where the poles crossed affording secure footing. He had just reached the ground when he accidentally shook the chimney with his foot, jostling down a loose bit of dirt on the inside. The moonshiner jnrupe J up, thinking him about to escape. Just then a dash of lightning revealed the straw man in the ganet, and, thinking all safe, the old man lay down again mutting something about "cleanin out them pesky chimbiey swallers." Thompson lay vtill for almost half an hour behind the chimney in a ditch of water, expecting every flash of lightning to discover his ruse. He was not reassured until he finally heard the old man gently snoring. Then cautiously making his way for about a mile thiough the woods, crawling part of the way, and stopping every moment to listen to discover whether he was followed, he f inally reached an open path leading directly to the wagon road. The storm had now subsided, and the moon shone brightly. As his clothes were wet through, causing him to feel told, he walked along at a rapid pace, reaching I'.lue Lick, the nearest village, in about two hours. It was about 1 o'clock when he arrived. In two hours more he was on the way back wite a posse of twelve good men. As they all had gcod horses they made their way back before daybreac. Leaving the horses in charge of one of the number, they took circuitous routes through the woods, surrounding the men at the still, just at daybieak. lor it seems they started in daytime instead ef at nifrht, contrary to the usual custom of mocnshiners. Four of the party were captured, several sentinels, who had been sent out having lied at the first alarm. Among the number were "Fap" Wilson, his former host, and his two sons. The old man's rage knew no bounds when be found that he had been outwitted and had left his wife at home keeping watch over a "dummy." The rest of the gang was afterwards captured, but all except the ringleaders, among whom was "Fap" Wilson, were acquitted. The leaders are now serving terms in the penitentiary. lienny'a Succesaer. Senator Harrison is working up a combination of Be publican Senators, to prevent the confirmation of any of the President's Indiana appointments, in the hope that by so doing he can enable his paTty to elect a majority of the next Legislature in this State, and thereby secure tbe return of Fanny's very dear friend, Ben Harrison, to the Senate." Now, of course, a move of that kind will inspire Democrats with a love of the aforesaid astute Benny, and they would just run over each other to get to the polls in order to vote for a man who would vote for Benny. However, we might just as well make the imporiant disclosure now. that Benjamin's successor will be a Democrat a Simon-pure Democrat without a taint ot Ilepubhcanism or Mugwumpism about him.
