Egg. are worth 8 cents a dozen. The market is poorly supplied with provisions, and those who depend upon the local products, find great difficulty in setting a good table.

Mr. W. A. Doerle, who has been employed for more than a year by Mr. Leopold as salesman and book keeper, left town last Friday morning to be absent two or three week*. He Is a thorough business man, gentlemanly in deportment, and makes friends wherever known. * \ T “"g .

Steady Faced Prosperity.

The shrinkage in stocks and the various securities . thsi fluctuate with the exigencies that affect th* money market, occasioned iu a great measure by watering, "gutting,bulling, and bearing, and the other devices of the gamblers of Wall street, New Yoik, and tbe other great commercial circles of tbe country, has turned the attention of monied men of late to farm property as a safe investment for capital. It U true so large an interest is not expected on landed estate as upon that class of securities that are constantly fluctuating in value. Nor should real securities like land draw so large an interest, since the security is absolute—one that cannot be destroyed. The withdrawing of investments from one direction, or various directions, tor investment in another, is the key' or result of psoics. Investors become dissatisfied in flush times, with the low rate of interest which land brings, and put their money in various enterprises, which, for a time, apparently go on swimmingly; bat, in the end, the change certainly comes, and with tbe fear of loss there is a disposition to turn back to the security of land. In all this, farmers are not exempt. The skies are bright; they are not satisfied with the four, five, or six per ceut. their farms arc returning on the capital invested, and they are tempted to speculate. They perhaps mortgage their farms, paying all the way to ten or twelve per cent, for money; business is overdone; hard times come on; a panio strikes the land; interest is in default, and the farm that would have continued to pay a legitimate, if low interest, on money, is sold from under the owner. This i* tbe whole history in a nut shell. Panics are occasioned by a spirit which seems inherent in humanity, to want to do that which they see their neighbors doing. Tbe farmer's life has been called a humdrum one, while in fact it is not so; his labor pays a legitimate interest; one as good as others founded upon legitimate industry. If he gets his living by his honest labor, and from tour toaix per een«. upon the vulue of his land, it is as much as other sate men get from investment in government and other absolutely safe securities. It is j steady faced prosperity, and this is the Und of prosperity that nmkes peoples and nations rich. —Prairie Farmer. - j i

Cause of Lamp Explosions.

There are m»uy causes for the explosion of kerosene lamps, and a Knowledge of them may in some instances, prevent aocidetrts. It is not the oil that explodes, but the vapor of gas that is generated from the oil. The vapor when confined, or under pressure, is as expldsiv* atid dangerous »s gun powder. The ignition of this gas may occur as follows: 1. A Tamp may bd "standing on a table, of mantle, and a sight puff of air from an open window gr door may cause an explosion. 2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from a table or inautle and instantly explode. t < 8. A lamp is taken out into the entry where there is &; draft, or out of doors, and an explosion eii<o«s. 4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of stairs, or i« raised quickly to place it on the mantle, -eeaultimr hi an explosion. In xhewe caste tt e mischief movement —either by suddenly clieckii%: the draft or fordiifl air down the chimney against the flame. 5. Blowing down the chimney to extinguish a light is a frequent cause of explosion. fi. Lamp explosions have been biased by using ft chimney broken off at the top, or one that has a pieee broken out, whereby the draft xs variable, and theflaiuesjinsteady. ?. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts a small wick into a large burner, thus leaving considerable space along the edge of the wick. An oW bbrner with its air draft clogged up, whioh rightfully should be thrown away, is sometimes continued in use, and the final result is an explosion.

Underdraining.

Where land is favorable for underdrawing, the cost need not be more than from *2 to $4 per acre, according to the prices paid for labor and materials. The drains oan be made of pine boards; a strip inches wide nailed upon the edge ot a strip 5$ inebea wide, and in lieu Ut bottom, ntnil short strips across about 4 feet apart, to keep the sides to their places. This kind of drain will last many year?, and do.gpod service. Therefore I would recommend underdrawing aa beta;; the greatest, benefit to the soil, Bnt persons Who fcafifiot conven,i«Ji:]y underdraw their land.should.

Minority Residents.

As much has been written recently in referenee to the election of President Hayes by a minority vote, it will not be oat of place to state the facts as to other minority presidents: Iu 1844 Mr. Polk received not qnite 50 p«r cent, of the popular vote. He received 62 per cent, of the electoral vote. In 1848 General Taylor received 47 per cent, of the popular vote, and 50 per cent, of the electoral vote; bat three of his friends were elected to the house of representatives. In 1852 Pierce received 51 per cent of the popular vote, and 85 percent es tbe electoral vote. In 1856 Mr. Buohanan received only 45 per cent of the popular vote; he reoeived 59 per cent of tbe electoral vote. In this eleotion Fillmore received 25 per cent of tbe popular vote, and only 2 per cent of the electoral vote; but, fourteen of bis friends were elected to congress. Iu 1860 Mr. Lincoln received only 40 per cent of the popular vote and 59 per cent of the electoral vote., In 1864 Mr. Lincohi received 55 per cent, of the popular vote, and 91 per cent of the electoral vote. In 1868 General Grant received 52 per cent, ot the popular vote, and 73 per cent, of the electoral vote. In 1872 General Grant received 55 per cent of the votes of the people; in the electoral college he received 81 per cent. — Ex. *

ALL SORTS.

What lovers swear—To be true until death. What husbands swear —Unfit for publication. Yet a few more days, and the earliest green apples will be doubling np the first rush boy. "It’s nice to have slippers given to you,” said the naughty bov who had just been corrected for lying, when he saw the fine pair his big brother received from his girl; “bnt it makes all the difference how you take them.” When the foreman of the composing room knocks' a form into “pi” now, lie doesn’t have it reset as of yore. lie simply slaps it iulo the press as it is, and the newspaper is “run off” with a war map up to the average. A potato bug crawled out of his hole on a recent fine morning and mounted a tehee liost to sun himself. Piously and pensively he sat there, and as he complacently watched, the farmer at fa is, potato planting, he eVe.r and anon caroled thus, as if in niißikery: “What shall the harvest be?” A butcher of some eminence was lately in company with several ladies at a game of whist, when having lost two or three rubbers, one of the ladies addressing him, asked: "Pray, sir, what are the stakes now!” “Madam, the best rump 1 cannot sell lower than twenty oents a pouud.” The following, according to the request of Singleton, the murderer, who Wasexecutert in Texas recently, Was furnished him on the day of his death by the sheriff: One baked chicke •, one dish of ham and egg?, one apple pie, one peach pie, one egg custard, one fruit pudding, one large pound cake, and two bottles ot wine. A Kentucky dentist undertook to plug one of the hack teeth of a favorite tnule. He bored and bored until the drill struck something that seemed to lift the animal’s soul right off its hinges. That’s the way the coroner explained it, and since then a wild mule has been galloping up and down the country, seeking for fresh worlds to conquer.

“Bnt I pass,” said a minister, one Sunday, in dismissing one theme of his subject to take up another. “Then I make it spades!” yelled a man from the gallery who was dreaming the happy hours away in an imaginary game of euchre. Jt is needless to say that he went out on the next deni, being assisted by one of tbe deacons with a full hand of clubs. Billy Barlow, who has been a highly respected citizen of Wfnatnac fifteen years, suddenly skipped out one evening not long ago, leaving behind about $1,500 of unsettled debt* and a large family. Some of his more charitable neighbors think he has gone to the Blaek Hills country and will return after many days to repay those who cast their bread upon the waters, so to Speak. - ... ■—■ - ... : ..—j Near Richmond, Va., a wife lay in a dying condition. Having brought up a clever orphan girl, who was grown, the dying woman cj 1 l,ed the vour»g woman toiler, and said: “I wuT soon leave ray children motherless. They know you and love vid,.i!t|ld aftpi, I am gone 1 want you and my husband to marry.” The young woman, Wm,i; JilfUetbiL. burst dpto, fears and tf&id: MYe were just talking about that.” 1 S „
