_ —A Georgia farmer has a gourd-vine with over twenty gourds on ‘it that will hold each an average of one-half bushel of grain. 5 | —Dead horses are reported to be advancing in price in Philadelphia, which is du? to the increased price of glue. They'are scarce and wanted now at five dollars each, instead of three dollars as heretofore. i 7

—The eucalypus trees grow so rapidly in California that they are now being cut for fuel near Florence. The forest is large enough to make the vistas opened'ﬁy the falling of trees very pirturesque. i

—ln France a peari costing sixteen dollars is now imitated for fifty cents or one dollar, and so successfully as to be sold at the price of the genuine article | to any one not a veritable expert, and | even the latter class are often puzzled. The artiticial pearl, however, is simply a glass bead or globe which is first coated on the inside with a glue made | of parchment, then treated with a pe- | culiar so-called ‘*essence,” after which !it is’ filled with wax. The essence is the chief pearly ingredient, and is obtained by rubbing together white fish, 80 as to remove the scales; the whole is thenstrained through linen and left to deposit its sedintent. which is the eslsence in question. It requires about | 17,000 fish to produce a pound of the ‘ pearly essence.

How to Shake Hands.

There are only two or three people now living'who can successfully shake hands. There is a good deal of handshaking done through the country, especially at this season of the year, but only a very small per cent. of the shakers‘and shakees know how to do it o as to get the entire amount of exhilaration out of it. Some grab the hand of an adversary in a quick, nervous manner that scares the victim nearly to death, while others slide the cold and clammy paw at you so that you feel the same as when you drop a cold raw oyster with vinegar on it down your back. If youare shaking hands with a lady, incline the head for Ward with a soft and graceful vet half-timid movement, like a boy climbing a barbed-wire fence with a fifty-pound watermelon. Look gently in her eyes with a kind of pleading smile, beam on her features a bright and winsome beam, say something that you have heard some one else say on similar occasions, and in the meantime shake her hand in a subdued yet vigorous way, not as though you were trying to make a mash by pulverizing her fingers, nor yet in too con‘servative a manner, allowing her hand to fall with a sickening thud when you let “go. Care should be taken also not to hang onto the hand more than half an hour in public, as bystanders might make remarks. . This is now considered %uite outre and mandamus. —Bill Nye's -Boomerang. - ; : .el O . Honor, , ' Trustee Pullback arose to secure information. He wanted to know if honor compelled a colored man to accept a challenge to fight aduel. If not, what would. horior compel him to do in case an enemy halted ‘at his gate and dared him to come out of his house and get mashed. . “gonor am a curus thing, Brudder Pullback,” replied President Gardner. “‘ln case you are a better shot dan your imemy it am honorable to meet on de field an’ kill him. If you think it will sartin to kill you it am honorable to excuse yourself on de ground of havin’ agame leg.

e@ W 3 Chipco, the Seminole Chief.

. The news has just reached us of the death of Chipco, the chief of the rem‘nant/of a bandof Tallahssee Indians, on the 16th of October last. This noted Seminole warrior, as near as can be learned, was a little ‘over 100 years of age, and had, up to a few months back, "been able to engage in the hunts and annual festivities of his tribe, but has at last had to succumb to old age: He fully participated in the long Seminole war, and at the time Billy Bowlegs and his companions were deported to Indian Territory—in 1856—Chipco and his band managed to elude their (Fursuers. and have since lived here and there in the Kissimmee, country, though of late years their-main camp has.been about twenty-five miles east of here, near the Catfish Lakes. Though not actively engaged in the memorable Dade's massacre, in 1835, Chipco was present at many massacres ami battles of minor importance. In talking over his past career he always expressed regret but for one deed, which was the killing of a white infant by tossing it up and catching it as it came down on the point of his hunting-knife. The usual formalities peculiar to Indian tribes were gone through with at his death. Six fine horses and many fat hogs were shot and killed at his grave, and his rifle ‘and huntinE accouterments, together with cooking utensils, were buried with him, so that he might have the use of them in the ‘‘happy hunting grounds.”” The remnant of Chipco’s band now numbers but three warriors, with their women, children and negroes, and the chieftain’s mantle has descended on the shoulders of Chipco's oldest son, who will be known in diplomatic circles as Tustenuggee Tahausky. —Barton (Fla.) Informant. |

Looking After the Government Clerks.

' The clerks of the Pension Office were very much surprised at the end of last week in receiving a neat card, which was labeled: *‘Record for the month of October.” The card contained these items, namely: ° ‘“‘Punctuality, Industry and Habits,”” and opposite each was a figure indicating how near the recipient of the card had been to perfection in each of these particulars. The highest mark of perfection was, six, and the various };lhases in the individual careers during the past month werenoted by the numerals ranging from one to six. This was the first indication the clerks had that a record was being kept of their character and efficiency. Yt will be done regularly each month, and is designed to stimulate the clerks to better things. The daily record is made by the ' chiefs of the divisions, and the average for the month'is compiled by a corps of clerks. It includes not only the record of conduct of the clerks during office hours, but outside. One old clerk, upon receiving his card, began to caper around, and said that he felt like a boy at school. Another one, noticing that the card of a lady clerk did not note perfection in “habits,” remarked I\fra,vely: “Well, I always supposed Miss —— was a proper character, but this certainly has a bad look.” There was . considerable curiosity to know what was meant by ‘‘habits,” and and it was ascertained that it referred to the moral character and con‘duct, both outside and inside of the department. There is & somewhat similar system mnow in vogue at the State Department. — Washingtlon National Republican.

Teach Them To Be Polite.

Train your children to be polite at home, and you will never have cause to blush at their rudeness abroad. The rosy-cheeked boy and girl and ‘the strong and vi;iorous young mgn who sit in. their comfortable seats in crowded ‘cars, while gray-haired grandfathers and grandmothers tug at the straps, are goor commentaries on home training. othing is chéaper than politeness, and nothin%)‘ pays better. It should not be taught because it pays, but from principle. The young man who is negligent of his mother and sister at home, or tha sister who is selfish and unthoughtful, will be no blessing to any other hdme into which they are en%lraft.ed, until ‘‘they unledrn what they have learned amiss.”” This is often difficult and-an-noying, and robs life of its sweetest hours and richest gifts. Train your children in politeness and unselfishness in all little things, and the greater will come without an effort.—lnter-Ocean. -

What Constitutes a Colonel, We are fmtiﬁed. We have at last discovered what constitutes a Colonel in Mississipgi. Harry Moss, writing to the Yazoo Herald, says: *‘l left Jacksonville in the afternoon and ataged all night on Mound Bayou with Colonel Tom Lee. I never met him before, and never heard any one say he.was a Colonel, but I know he must be. He has a big plantation, a big house with a pi-anner in the :parlor, a beautiful Erown-u«p daughter, and a wind-mi)l to is well. If a man like that ain’t a Colonel, where are the liberties of the ﬁ‘mericu people?”’ — Mobile (Ala.) Reg"l 2 2 35

Shoes and Steckings,

The exquisite toilettes of this season are perfect in each mast minute detail, and quite as much -consideration is given to the tasteful selection of shoes and stockings as to the material of the dress and the jewels to accompany it. A very serious attempt has, however, been made by Européan and American artists to -introduce #ealthful or comfortable shoes, and to their credit, be it said, our leaders of st!le have generally accepted such inno¥ations, hence the boots and shoes intended for out-of-door wear, traveling, riding, walking or skatin% which are ntade upon hygienic principles are wortky of earnest recommendation. =+ :

. The‘Euse’nie boots, after those designed and constructéd for and worn by the Empress on ber Zululand journey, ar¢ made to ordér of soft, pliable leather: They are of excellent shape, show off the foot te Fer_fect.ion. and are, Dbeside, thoronﬁy comfortable. In the leg they exterd over the calf, and are cut ncﬂ:en in *ront ‘rom just above the ankle to th@rvamp, and secured over an inside of leather by lacing across hooks, and can be quickly put on or taken off without force or strain. They should be. perfectly water-proof, and are just the boots for midwinter snowstorms. Porpoise hide, alligator skin and - other :trong, soft leathers, are used for these oots. Y

Novel traveling boots are made with wide soles, low flat heels and square toes and should match suit in trimming if not in material, and if very warm shoes are desired they are lined with ‘white fur. , The common sense shoes now favored by ladies have triple soles, low flat ‘heels, broad toes and are made of goatskin or kid, and a finer shoe, for house wear or dress occasions, is of French kid, with Spanish instep, pointed toe, made too long, so that the foot need not be pinched in the point, and finished with the Louis X’&?heel. and still another shoe, with Spanish arched insteX and narrow toe, has a cloth top and vamp of soft leather. = Substantial shoes for growing girls are of straight goat, with square toes, wide extension soles, low, broad heels, and these are reproduced in French or American kid wgen ordered, but some grefer for full dress shoes with low eels and round, French toes, but these should be a little longer than shoes with square toes. Order shoes for misses and children are after the same conceits as those intended for ladies and in fabrics to correspond with dresses; and most dainty are some of the shoes and slippers intended for the Christmas and New Year’s festival season, which are shown side by side with cunning baby shoes in cream, pale pink and bronze kid, with combinations or gold trimmings. High art novelties which are extremely dressy are boots with tops in open lattice work of woven silk or the finest silk cord. They are goloshed with patent leather, which is continued up the fronts, where the shoes are laced. The heel is a modification of the Louis XV. With boots of this style with the open lattice-work tops any shade of -silk st,ocki'n¥s to match robe can be worn and will show distinctly through, so that with each color different boots will appear_to cover the pretty feet of the stylish wearer. i

Please do not imagine that reasonable priced or cheap stockings are to be scorned in all the handsome colors, stripes and plaids, Wwhen we pass on to Lisl% thread novelties, which are shown in all the silk colors and designs; some are self-colored or in stripes, with clocks embroidered in white or some very light color; while some of the new stockings are in intense shades of red, blue, yé’llow or purple, or in the new dark shades of plum, bronze and garnet. A silk plaited stocking also comes in all the new colors; but still later novelties are the checker-hoard Lisle thread stockings in blue and old gold, cardinal and old gold, and other combinations; also those | with vertical strii)es, blue, gjlnk, red and marine, with old gold.— iiladelphia Times. - ;

Meat and Grain Consumption Come - pared,

It is universally the belief that meat is more expensive as food for man than a vegetable diet; yet, referring to our remarks in the October number of the Journal, regarding the increased consumption of meat, we would add, that an English writer, Mr. Axon, whose essay, read before the British Association, condensed in the .Adgricultural Gazette, gives extended figures showing the comparative value of a given surface for the production of human food, when devoted to grain growing, as compared to a like surface devoted to the production of meat. The essayist reasons that each acre devoted to ﬁrowing butchers’ meat will produce fty pounds, and that, allowing three pounds to each person, the acreage named would feed 2,172,908 persons. This is on the supposition that the population would make up the deficiency with other food, as they could not subBist on meat alone. It is said that Canadian boatmen and the Esquimaux consume six to eight pounds each per day when depriveg ‘of other food. It is argued that each acre devoted to grain raising. will produce 1,420 pounds per acre, which, at two pounds per day to each tperson-, would sustain a population of 92,702,896. Thus he reasons: that uI)op a grain diet, leaving meat out of the question, the land will produce enough food for their own people. The wish may, to a degree, be father to the thought in this cage. He argues that the remedy for over-population is -food reform, and brings in the statement of ‘Dr. Hunter that forty-four men could be sustained on 100 acres devoted to sheep raising; fifty-three on a dairy farm; 250 on a farm devoted to wheat, and 683 on a farm devoted to potatoes. We imagine that the 683 on potatoes would hardly have strength enough to dig and eat the potatoes after they were grown. s

\ The British farmer, it is claimed, has 'been mainly driven from grain into cattle growinF l? the extemsive shipments to England of foreign grain; and now forei meats are pressing uﬁm ‘them, anf‘l it really dooks, taking Mr. Axon’s figures as a basis, as if English acres devoted to cattle and sheep growing would leave their population more ~dependent than ever upon the grains 'and meats of other countries. The English people are fnllg' aware of this, and it is reasoned that the British farmer and feeder'will continually, in the future, encounter vary strong com}la‘etition from our ¢heaply-grown meats. h? a;Fne very strongly that the real food value of cereals is enormouulg greater with them than the hest yiel that can be obtained through stock growing. It is claimed, also, that the production of stock is strictly limited, while throu‘fh a beiter system of farming, aplplie with care to the production of grains and vegetables, these articles could be considerably added to, It is claimed also that the &oor, ?atterning after their more weal i neighbors, spend their money for the more expensive ‘meats, - whereas formerly they ate but very little meat—very little even of the cheapest—and that if they would deg:md more upon “‘the kindly fruits of the earth,”’ i would be full as well for them, and much cheaper. But the poor people having got a taste of American grown meat, and finding it pretty"!good. notwithstanding the ﬁﬁ; orous efforts made last year, throl'lﬁn slurs, to place is in the background, quite surely continue to clamor for i o k. Cw e X

more, because they find it agreeable te the taste, and satisfying; and when i 8 comes to doi harJ bodily labor, they, of course, ﬁnlfthat bread and potatoes, while the{ constitute pretty good diet —especially good for filling—still the well-fatted flesh of the beast of the field is quite necessary to make one strong in battle, whether this battle be in the harvest field with the sickle in hand, or in carrying a carbine and knawack in the jungles of South Africa. e conclude from all this that sophistry will fail utterly in changi::ig the taste of the English working and middle classes back to J)_otatoes, after having had a few %oo fills of American hiﬁn-grade, well-fatted and well-marbled meat. Therefore, we say there is no risk in breedinf plenty of high-grade steers—the hig er the better, as the quality gained proves—as the taste for meat is a growing one, and the population of the earth is a thing of growth and not of decay.—National Live Stock Journal.

Fishing with Horses for Bait,

In traversing the Lianas ot the Province ‘of Caracas, in order to embark at San Fernando de Apure, on the voyage up the Orinoco, M. Bonpland stopped at Calabozo, }iis object-being to investigate the history of the ‘gymnotus, an electric eel, great numbers of which are found in the neighborhood. After remaining three days there some Indians conducted him to the Cano de Bera, a muddy and stagnant basin, but surrounded bg rich vegetation, in which some grand Indian figs and some magnificent flowering odoriferous mimosas were pre-eminent. He and his friends were much surprised when informed that it would be necessary to take thirty half-wild horses from the neighboring savannahs in order to fish for the ﬁ'ymnotus. Theidea of this fishing, called, in the language of the country, embarbascar con caballos (intoxicating by means of horses), is very.odd. The word barbasco indicates the roots of. the Lacquinia, or any other poisonous plant, by contact of which a body of water acquires the property of killing, or, at least, of intoxicating or stupeiying, the fishes. While their hosts were explaining to M. Bonpland and party this strange mode of: fishing, the troop of horses and mules had arrived, and l the Indians had made & sort of battue, E})mssing the horses on all sides, and orcing them into the marsh. The Indians, armed with long canes and hargoons, placed themselves round the asin; some of them mounting he trees, whose branches hung over the water, and by their cries, ané still more by their canes, preventing the horses from landing ngain. The eels, stunned by the noise, defended themselves by repeated discharges of their batteries. For a 'long time it seemed. as if they would be victorious over the horses. Some of the mules especially, being almost sti.ed by -the .frequency and force of the shock, disappeared under the water, and some of the horses, in spite of the watclifulness of the Indians, regained the bank, where, overcome by the shocks they had under%‘one, they stretched at full length. he picture presented, M. Bonpland says, was now indescribable. Groups of Indians surrounded the basin, the horses, with bristling manes, terrorand grief in their eyes, trying to escape 4rom the storm which had surprised them; the eels, yellow and livid, looking like great aquatic serpents swimming on the water and chasing their enemies, were objects at once appalling and picturesque. In less than five minutes two horses were drowned. An | eel more than five feet long glided under one horse, discharged its apparatus through its whole extent; attacking at ‘once the heart, the viscera, and-the plexus -of the nerves of the animal, probably benumbing and ﬁnal{l{ drowning it. When the strug%}e had endured ‘& quarter of an hour, the horses and mules appeared frightened, the manes became more eredt, the eyes expressed less terror, the eels=shunned in place of attacking them, at the same time approaching the bank, when they were easi(l{y taken by means of the long cord, and were drawn ashore without being able to communicate any shock. Having landed the eels they wers transported to little pools dug in the soil and filled with fresh water, but ‘such is the terror they inspire that none ‘of the ﬁeople of the country would release them from the harpoon, a task which the travelers had to. perform themselves, and receive the first shock, which was not slight, the most energetic surpassing in force that communicated gy a lLeyden jar ‘completely charged. The %ymnotus surpasses in size and strength all the other electric fishes. They vary in color according to age and the nature of the muddy water in which they live.

A Wonderful Story of Crime in Siecily. In the city of Palermo, Sicily, an extraordinary criminal trial is now exciting public interest. In March last a number of needg medical students there tonspired together to carry off one of their fellow students, named Pizzo, the son of a wealthy land-owner, and to extort for his ransom the sum of $25,000 from his father, after the method of the Greek brigands of to-day. These young men, however, did not intend to keep faith after the money had been paid for the life of the bostage, but it was their plan to murder their victim, and after cutting his body into pieces, to secrete the remains. Their reasons for coming to this sanguinary determination were that they feared that Pizzo, in spite of all the oaths theycould exact from him, would ultimately denounce them by name to the police, and, moreover, that, as the whole scheme would have to be carried out in Palermo itself, where there are no mountains .or ravines, asin the interior, favorable to the concealment of law-breakers, it would be the safest way to remove all evidences of their guilt. A house was hired for the ;mxi?ose, and Mercadante, the chum of Pizzo and his fellow worker in the hospital, who, although 'his most intimate friend, was foremost in the conspiracy, was selected to lure ‘the victim thither under the pretense that an important surgical operation reci:xired his attention. But Pizzo’s father and the police had received information of the contemplated crime, and all was arranged so that the agents of the law could surprise the stsﬁenta just as they were about to consummate their wicked purpose. This the police were enabled to do through il oo’ operation of Koung Pizzo, who, forewarned, had the nerve to enter the retreat of the bandits on the arm of his would-be betrayer, Mercadante, and witness there the preparations for his death. The carbineers, however, intervened in time, and arrested the whole party. One of the accused is a rich student named Mattina, hitherto of ﬁ.ood character, who is supposed to ve joined the Pglot.ters from personal enmity toward Pizzo.

A LADY'S OPINION } 0f What Constitutes a Good Fam-! ily Paper, : } With Several Interesting Observations Coucerning the Political Condi- | tion of the Country. , ) iy ! el CLEVELAND, 0., Dec, 20, 1881, MR. J. B. STOLL—Dear Sir: Raving! heard of \your advancement and pros- | pective progression in newspaper work, | I hasten to present you my congratu- | lations and good wishes for the név&'} work. Surely there was never a broader field for newspaper action. than{ now, while the social and politiep!! pulse of the world is vibrating witidt ‘snch feverish and-momentous’fqrce a&’ =totax' the tension of every t-hiukiugl 'mind to its utmost capacity. When | we recall the works of Jon Wood:| ‘man and Anthony Benezet, of Philadelphia, who first agitated the great ‘problem of abolition of slavery, the ' book of the latter, published in 1762, to expose and denounce the slave trade, being the germ from 'which sprang such mighty and successful| forces' against. the horrible crime of{ ‘human glavery, we cannot question | ‘t,lte power. of even one daily newspa-i per which carries its principles of politics and religion into so manyi channels of influence. It is a theme] of such prolifie interest to me that I; cannot lefrain from writing to you | about it, editor though you are—portly, | ‘austere and dignified as you may be, | you will, I know, indulge a {riend ina : free, social chat this delightful winter | -eveuning of ‘the dying year. What 1| want to express is the one fundamen- I tal necessity of all literary efforts to| start from a base of (ixed px-inciple.?' Hence I rambled away back to the | humble origin of the greatest of all| human prihciples, freedom, and Lhov’t,i of the wonderful attainments of thei ~fforts of oue man. It took' years of | patient waiting on the part of the im’ jured subjects, and much - legislative and parliamentary action to achieve| the end sought, and not only that, but{ 48 wrong is always cruel, so the enemy at last when brought to bay in | our own land, showed its ferociuus’ fangs of cruelty, and. claimed the blood of miilions of freemen to erase' the foul stains of their diabolical. crime. | This point brings us to the first period of martyrdom in our generation—the cowardly assassination of President Lincoln. The blood of rebellion had been checked in its mad flow,dammed up agiinst the black wall . of millions Gt people once their sldves, ' and, like a volcano, seething and smoking back of this mighty bulwark, there must i;eeds be an outlet to the overpowered but not crushed elements. | The smoke f Booth’s pistol was the| opening of ‘he smouldering fires, aud!. 48 it cleared away, the cold death ash¢B fell back cver the ruins and com. pletely covired the chasm of their wrath. The South awoke from its delirious drezm, and passed out of the bell of its ¢wn making into at least an “interme:liate state,” where, i’ they ha«fbeen rightly met, sectional differences would lor.g ago have been for-| gotten. ] 1 like the way you meet the differences of opinion ; that is, why religious creeds and rolitical tenets cannot be met amiably aud in observancé of law and order, when opposiong elements -ome in contact, which must e so| often the case 1n this fast age of reasoning and independent thought. We]| bave in the present arena of action two mighty elements at ‘Work -upon the prime motors of human life. The intellectual powers are in convulsive agonies over social and religious agitations, which are deserving of serious | attention; -while politically, we are in a whirlwind of such force we almost lose sight of the original luudmarksi ofa free people and a beautiful country. You know lam somewhat inclined to be *set in my ways,” and know that I was born aud bred a Republican of the late war, hence must still be one in principle, but the two last campaigns sickened me. I saw 30 much cor;dption in the “power behind the throne,” so much volume to money, 80 much laxity in campaign honesty, that I really wislied we might have a change, even if worse in some points; it could not add much to our present shame, and it could but eifecti a cleansing in certain quarters which | have become putrid with covering up i of official and private political debauchery. And how much of this horrible poison lies upon the pages of our public press? But I don’t need to enlarge upon this point; you know my views upon this important factor among our common educators. But}i I do hope that at your next editorial| couvention you will handle the ques~ tion as you so well can, and give your “brethren” an airing they will remem- | ber to their own advantage and to the|: benefit of ‘their readers. - :

But when upon questions ofiréform, what hosts of evils crowd before our mind's eye! Our presenf banking system is a direct robbery of the people,

and a gigantic monopoly. Why don’t the government issue the money, and give us a financial base secure against “ guspensions ” and “ failures.” The idea of giving out millions of money to corporate bodies, to use with little or no tax, is a foul abuse upon our national character. I.may not fully understand our finances, but as I see them, they are a fraud upon the many, making the rich richer at the expense of the common taxpayer : Government lands are basely squandered to railroad magznates, and our “Indian policy ” is a furce; but where is there any purer element to change the present overwhelming tide of monopoly and greed? I think the democrats, as a body, spend too much

time prying into the slime of the present administration, and too little effe:t to really enlighten the people ageinst such evils. I watched eagerly during the last campaign for the democratic ‘press to take a decided ‘stand upon fixed principles of honor, exposing clearly theeyils of the present dispensation, and leave personal ab'use.: domestic slander, and petty jusults to society papers, whose .daily bread is the shortcomings of their neighbors. But not so. The heat of the canvass

-was intensified by going back’ to' the: infancy of public men, gathering up‘the nursing-bottles, rattle-boxes, “toys. land necessities of that trying period; ‘then thetruant at school, the: baéh’fpl' lover, delinquent husband; all these strietly individual points were blazoned upon every page in the country, until we became disgusted at the com-. imeul public newspapers; for that was hn th¢ proper name ‘of the sheets. { thrown broadcast over the land: They were simply itinerant scandal mon‘gers,nothing more. T don’t know how ‘much less. The desperation which sent the “Morey letter,” stamped so lconsp.icuously upon the' title pages of ‘these same sheets- ~knowﬁ and _read by all men—added violent" fuel.to.the flames of slander, and the immoral strife was sickening, to say the least. But what does ail me to-night to ling - er so long among those dismal shad:. ows? Perhaps the tolling of the bells for President Garfield still rings.in fny. ears, and from my sitting-room: ddor 1 can see the mammoth areh over the entrance toour fanjous cemetery where lies the remains of our second martysed President. . But” under: what differ‘ent palls they lie! Liacoln was the victim of outraged “pruiciples, held sacred in the hearts of a people whose education had been a moral deformity of which they were blind - subjects. Garfield fell under the masked battery ‘of a far more treacherous foe, and from the shadow of his temb we'can’ see the gaunt skeletons ‘of that arbi: trary power he strove to nip in"th_e fist bud of his administration. Conk: ling bears the odium of this' great shame, but heis only a factor-in the problem our people would do well to’ solve. Conkling is a man of giant.in~ tellect, and natural principles of rare ‘worth, but they are corroded by the foul atmosphere which has develaped around Washington, during the Tast few years of political strife. . ~ Bestowing the-right of suffrage upon thousands of ignorant and “uneducated -negroes certainly ‘was a_grave error of statesmanship. --The ! eivil rights bill was uncalled for and should uot have been placed upon our statute | books. The negroes were at that time certainly unfitted for more “rights” until they learned to use "the’ rights of freedom aright. “If the belligerent States bad been made terrifories for twenty-one years, and the'uegmes col: ‘ onized as far as _posisihle, and 'n'o‘tvi thrown such a conglomerate force of adversg elements into the ballos box;, ‘much evil would have been ‘averted. Here lies the secret and reot. of our great evil—the vast amount of suffrage. Yet some crave for more, which makes me blush at fhe absurdity of women’s foolishness, who think anaggressive. wrong will right a social mistake, and a falsely-educated condition of soclety 2s:it now exists. So much -ignorant voting as "we-have‘ig tatal to any government, and we shall | svoner or later pay the. penalty with American Nihilism of a pronounced ard dangerous type. Guiteau is’ a smwall decimal in the immense problem we have yet to solve, 'which' is, simply stated, what.are we to do with our hordes of vagrants, criminles"a:nd drunkards, who wield such potent force at every exciting campaign® And here I am again at oue of my favorite points in discussing such | matters —the power of our public press. No school or teacher reaches’ the entire people with such effect as the family. newspaper; and when ‘the grand fraternity of newspaper management reaches the base of solid and honorable action, we shall have papers’ filled with political actions, not party abuses, home knowledge, not domestic slander, elevating - and soul stirring literature, free from the grossiess of morbid sensuality, and news, which shall be a happy interchange of ideas, customs;, politics and religion, to make up a complete and reliable educator for the thousands whose entire Jibrary is the almanac and weekly newspaper. But, dear me, what a letter to send’ to an editor! I expect those ._'glasjsgs.; will quiver with indignation, and ‘the sanctum echo to. the grim, thrust ofthis tedious letter into. the- waste basket, while the editor will at last stop to take breath dnd say, “Thauk God for the judgment that. all things earthlyhaveanendl?: - . . - o But even under the glisten-of those tired glasses, I cannot forbear to add a word or two more as a final closé. to whatl started out to’ be a short letter. of congratulation and good wishes: And-while I ten”er to the new enter~ prise my . warmest hopes for signal ‘success, in every department of .a: perfect family paper, there still lingers a tenderness for THE BANNER' which begets the feeling that no décline may mark the change in that really excellontpapers 0 o g I can assuie the readers of the new paper that the new agdition to itscorps | of ‘workers and managers is a patient man, given to forbearance and long suffering, enduring with. fortitnde and meekness even such long letters as the one now before him, which surely is a | remarkable test of qualifications so essential to make a good editor, and. for which he deserves the sympathy. of his friends and the respect of his epgmien. oo AR Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. = Thé bestsalve in the world for cuts, brinieB o o L fhLs Sxpuene, ol fokli iy st salve is guaranteed to. give perfect satisfaction in every caseor money refundS SRR TR ;;g"-t"::’i'it li-;H iy

" THE GREAT-WEST : As It Appears to a Hawpatch Farmer, ' FRIEND STOLL:—Perhaps it might be interesting to some of the readers of THE BANNER to give them an account of my western trip. We had a. very pleasant visit and saw some very beautiful country. We left Ligonier Nov. 9th, got our tickets for Columbus, Ka_‘z.isas, by way of Rock Island road. Staid all night in Kansas City, which bas improved greatly since I was there ten years ago. .-A traveler can see more baggage there in thirty minutes than he can anywhere else in twenty-four hours. . ‘We got on board the train ‘next. morning for Columbus, Kansas. “Went on. the Gulf road through that - great country that Judge Wood tho’t. - was superior to the Hawpatch. The only difference between the Judge's. opinion and'mine is, we.don’t see alike. The Gulf road runs ‘through Johnson county which is supposed to> be the. cream of Kansas. Got to Columbus |at 7 o’clock p.M. Had to stay all night waiting for a train to Oswego. I saw a farmer come to Columbus and buy corn and pay 90 cents per bushel, and ‘whdit: they call corn, we would call nubbins. When I saw, the corn and - tound out the price I begin to look ‘around. for Joseph, for I thought 1 was not far from Egypt. Got to Oswego next day noon ‘and found that it ‘had greatly improved since I was last, there. -We met our friends there, R. 5. Curl and family. They are located 12:miles south of Oswego. on a half section of land. Of course we found them hard ‘at work, for hard work always. was their forte. There is some very fine country around Oswego, but ‘it has not been very productive, this yeéa? The hot winds from the south, afid the chinch bugs made the corn cfop almost a failure. TPotatoes were splling at-from $1.75 to $2.00 per bushel. . ‘The farmers there do not farm as they. ‘du here, as from two to four inches is tl\e depth of their plowing. Theyclaim. - thyt ‘deep plowing -i8 not the tbigg tor that -country. They can uot\raise tame grass to make a success of it; aud the wild grass dies about'the Aitst of Nov. and then they have no pasture till spring, We got there lon thie 12th.0f November and the farmerswerg feeding hay to their stock, and. . expacted to feed. it till spring, After (wo weeks’ visit In Oswego we went to Walker, Mo., to visit a cousin, Oliver Cavin, whose -family owned the- - which George K. Poyser now ‘owns, That 18 a great stock country. Oliver has six'hundred head of sheep | and a great many of higneighbors have large flocks, but they -have one bad thiug to conténd with in raising sheep, and that is-the scab. They have to ‘be dipped in® a solution of tobacco and sulptiur three times a year. The expense for each dip of 500 head is five - cents each. When dogs make a raid on sheep out there it counts. Oliver- ° 'had 75 head killed just a few days before we got there.: The water in that partof Mo. is very p.or. Quiteanumber of the farmers use- cisterp, water for house use. ~After three days’ visit thére, we went to Lawrence, Kan,, to visit another cousin, Silas Cavin, who, ) by the way, is a son/in-law of Henry Fisher. - 'Fhat is ‘a very prosperous looking .eountry. - Silas has a very ‘pretty farm located twenty milessouth - ‘of Lawrence; had the pleasure of call- - ‘i'ng on Mr. Fisher and wife. Founds ‘them both well, and Henry is temper- '~ “ance to the core. He thinks the pro‘hibition law. is one of the grandest things that éver happened to Kansas. “After-a short visit there, we started for Maynard, lowa, which is situated . 60 miles north- of Cedar Rapids. We there visited an uncle,- Wm. Taylor, a son of James [Taylor, deceased, of the Hawpatch. William has been thare 24 -years and has got-things in guod shape. Crops were good. They do not raise any wheat. Corn and oats are the main crops. Corn was selling at 40 cents per bushel and. po‘tatoes at 40 cents -per bushel, timothy hay was bringing $8 per ton. lowa is ‘a great State for creameries. Qne year ago they had but 250, creameries, and to-day there are 450 farmers whoclaim . they can do better with cows and seil the cream than they can by raising wheat. They realize from $4O to $5O a year from a cow. I went to see one of the largest creameries ip the State, ‘and I investigated it closely, and lam . Jatisfied if some one would take hold of it here, it would be a good thing for - the farmers; forjwe have good blue - grass pasture, which i 8 a very scaxce thing.in the west. After a ten days’ ™ visit with-friends in lowa, we started - for home, thinking what a grand, good time we had had visiting, and with the very nicest of weather. It only ‘rained twiee during six weeks’ visit ‘and the nearer we got home the better . ‘things looked, especially when we got ‘on this side of Chicago and saw the green blue grass which we had not -een for six ‘Weeks. Aund then when ‘we got-home and looked at old Hawpatch with its green coab/of grass, we began to realize what it was to have a - homeé here. And then I thought, what . was the inducement in Kansas or Missouri for men te sell in-the Hawpatci and go west? It always has been a ‘mystery in my mind, and I guess al- . ways will be.

A High Compliment- : H "~ (Lawrenceburg Register.) “Mr.J. B: Stoll, editor of the Ligonier Banner,.has sold a half interesf in the Banner to Mr. J. E. McDonald, of Columbja City, a talepted young gentleman, who will take charge of the local department of the paper. Mr. Stoll will continue to conduct the editorial department of the Banner, and also of the Elkhart Democrat, in which paper Mr. Stoll has purchased a controlling interest. = The death of Col. Forney brings to mind the fact that other editors have achieved a distinction by being the editor of two papers, and we do not see why Mr, Stoll should ‘not " be. equally “successful, notwithstanding his are not “both dailies.” Mr. Stoll has not his' superior in the State, either as a speaker or as a writer, and in fact should have, control of a ‘metropolitan newspaper that would give him better onﬁortunity to extend his usefulness. aving control of papers in two d fferent places makes him a kind of an itinerant or peripatetic editor, spending three days in ‘the week in each of the cities whers his papers are locath. Stoll has our best wishes for I§ success in his new enterprise. S
