A SHORT VISIT.

Dor repeated her husband, who was intent on clipping off the end of his cigar so that it would "draw" sa'isfactorfly. "There fa but one thing to do let em come." "AH at once?" "Yes, all at once." "And I with but only one girl, and the thermometer at ninety in the shade, and the painters in the seem 1 story f bysterically cried the lady- v "Couldn't be a better combination of circumstances, my dear," said Mr. Haven. "I don't believe these veonle care a

straw about seeing me, said Mrs. Haven, ready to burst into tears. "Neither do I said her husband. "It's only on account of their convenience, the hot weather and the high prices at the hotels,' added Mrs. Haven. "Hugh, I've got a great mind to commit filicide!" ; "Don't do that, my dear! said Mr. Haven. 1 can suggest a be'ter plan. I was just thinking, do yon know" ., "Of telegraphing to the city for a new force of servants, a box of provisions from MinardiV, and naif a dozen cots, with bairmattresees and bedding to match?' eagerly interrupted the lady. "Nothing of i he kind," said Mr. Haven, serenely eyeing the distant landscape through the amethyst rays of cigar smoke "Uf moving." , "Moving, Hughr To the little cottsge by the lake," Mr. Haven explained. "Only for a few days, merely on account of the repairs at the bouse. . Paint upsets my digestion, and the sound of the carpenter's hammer sets my teet cn edge. Beside," Hodge, the contractor, can work a great deal faster if were all out of the way. . uBn. Hugh, the cottage is nothing on , earth but a camping-out place,with board floonvand nt a particle of paint or plaster about it, remonstrated Mary.

"Wnat of tnat, my lover' said tne lmperturable husband. Our friends don't come, as I take it, to admire fresco and

gilding, but to enjoy our society."

said Mrs. Hnven, with eorru gated brow.

, ''That is precisely what I wish them to

I think I begin to, said she ith

an arauzed light beginning to sparkle in

her eyes. "Yes, dear, .perhaps it wouldbe a good plan to move just while the re

'fhe cottage by Wiscomac Lake was not an imposing edifice. There was plenty

of room in it such as it was, but the floor

was of rude pme boards, and the windows were un draped, and the furniture was such as was adapted merely to the wants

of campaign parties, who were prepared o "rough it." after the most primitive

fashion: and when Mrs. Zuleima Pout

... drove up to the door, in a wagon heavily

laden with trunks, she stared throi h her

gold eye glasses in a most ridiculous man

ner, fit tne ruaeporen 01 smngies, supported by cedar posts mantled in their

native bark, the shutteriess windows, and

the un painted wood settees arranged on the grass... ......... "This isn't The Solitudes,' " said she. Drive on, man! You have made a mis- , akef ... " . s "This 'ere's where Lawyer Haven's Iks live," said the man, leisurely chewj a straw. "Guess itfs enough of a" ylitude' to suit anybody." "I thought it was a picturesque cotttage," said Mrs. Montagu Prout, in accents of the keenest disappointment. But 'at this minute Mrs. flaven herself harried to the door. 'I think you must be my husband's sister Zuleuna," said she graciously. "Bo com in! "But where are my trunks to go?" said t he fashionable widow, who had dazzled, the eyes of the Saratoga world with

her nnmerous cnanges of toilet during the past fortnight. ... "You can put then in the shed at the back of the bam, said Mrs. Haven, graciously. "1 don't think they will quite go up the stairway. Mr. Haller arrived later in the day a longhaired, sallow-complexioned young man, in a violet velveteen suit, followed by a countryman carrying his portable easel, color cases, hoveling library and writing desk. He knocked loudly at the

door of the cottage with the ivory knob of his cane. . "Can you tell me where Mr. Haven lives?" he inquired. "This is the place," said the hostess. This!" echoed Mr. Haller. "You are Cousin Herbert, I suppose," said Mrs. Haven, politely, "Walk in! My husband will come in on the evening train. Allow me to Bhow you to your room. It is rather small, but we are xpecting a good deal of company, and I dare say you won't mind a little inc. nvenience!" She left him in a seven-by-nine apartment, under the eaves, where he couldn't stand upright, except just in the middle of the room, and where the three-paned window was clos to the floor. "Humph!"- soliloquized the Aesthete, looking ruefully around him, "this isn't at all what I expected." Mary Haven had scarcely got down stairs and resumed the manufacture of raspberry pies, when shouts and cries in various keys announced the coming of Mrs. Johnson and her four children, on a "buckboard wagon" from the nearest station. . "Is this Cousin Hugh's house, ma?" said Adelaide, the eldest, discontentedly. "Tt ain't nothin' but a shanty!" fondly exclaimed Alexander Gustavus, the second hope of the family. "There ain't no paint on it," said Helene Louise. "Lemme get out! do let me get out! shrieked Juliette, "and play in that lovely black mud where the frog toad is sitting!" Mrs. Johnson sailed in with a scarlet face and a perturbed look. "I am afrpid, Cousin Mary," said she, that we shall inconvenience you. There don't seem to be mucb accommodation here".... "Oh, there's plenty of room up in the garret, sucb as it is," said Mrs. Haven, smilingly. "Of course one expects to lead a gypsy life in a place like this, and the lake will be eo nice for the little dears to play in, if on?y they're a little careful,for it's very deep: and it's so lucky you are here, Cousin Johnson, to help me with the pies and bread, for Tm not a very experienced housekeeper, and" "I thought you kept two or three servants," said Mrs. Johason, frigidly. "I have only one young girl at present," replied Mrs. Haven, "and of course, when there's so mucb company, there's a great deal to do. Oh, there comes anold lady with a sweet little yelping dog!" She glanced out of the open doorway. "Goodness me, if it ain't that intolerable old Aunt Sadie, with her inevitable dogP' groaned Mrs. Johnson, as a fat, elderly lady tofled up the path, in a searlet shawl and a black lace hat. "Bless me!" said Aunt Sadie, purple -with the heat and dripping with perspiration, fyou never mean-to say, Niece Ha

ven, that this 'ere's the place I've heard

tell of on the lake what d'ye call it?"

"Tt is where we live at oresent " said

Mr?. Haven, quietly.

"I am downright sony 1 left the tavern

at the railroad," said Aunt Sadie, sadly. "I ain't used to these unplastered houses,

and I'm most sure Trip will catch cold."

Uncle Jenks was the last to come a

shrewd, brown faced old man, in a gray

suit, with keen eyes like an eagle. lie

ooked around him and seemed to take

in the situation at once. .

No servants, eh?" said he. Well, it's ucky I came. I'm pretty handy to fetch

water, an 1 split kindling, and help round

the house; and you're pretty slim, mv

dear, to do all the work of this house with only a young gal to help you. So Hugh

hasn't done real well in business? Tve

got a little money uninvested myself, and

I don't know as I could do better with it

thrn to lend it to my sister's son "

Thus be spoke, cheery land kind, while

Mrs. Montagu Prout fanned herself on

the porch, and Cousin Herbert Haller did battle with the mosquitoes and midgets.

Mrs. Johnson followed her four children

about in ceaseless terror, lest they should

be drowned, and Aunt Sadie felt her dog's pulse, and groaned over the heat.

One night at the cottage settled the

question of "to stay or not to stay," in the

mind of Mis Haven's guests.

'I never slept in such a hot place in

my life," said Mrs. Jolmson, with, a sigh.

" Ihebed was not long enough for me

to stretch myself out in, and the eaves

touched my forehead"' said Cousin Herbert, sadly.

The owls hooted all night in the

woods;" said Aunt Sadie, "and kept dear little Trip barking until he was hoarsa" 1 wouldn't stay here if you would pay me a thousand dollars a week," said Mrs.

Montagu Prout, thinking of her pink silk

nartv dresses and twelve-button kid

gloves.

"Well," said Uncle Jenks, drily, Jit ain't Just the;loe&tion I should have se

lected lor a summer residence, out l am

not going off to leave Hugh and his wife

while I can manage to be useful to them !"

S: the company departed with various

adieux and insincere protestations ot re

gard, and only Uncle Jenks was left, And

then Mr. Haven took his cigar out from

between his lips.

"Uncle JenKs, said he, "suppose we

go up and see how the carpenters and painters are getting along with the con

servatory up at the house H "At what honse?" said Uncle Jenks "Mine," said Mr. Haven.

"Don't you live here?"said Uncle Jenks.

"Not all the time," i aid Mr. Haven. I "We only came here to accomodate tuch

of our relations as merely desire to make

a convenience of us."

"Oh!" said Uncle Jenks. a slow smile beginning to break over hiB shrewd,brown

face.

And Mary Haven confessed that her

husba d's advice had proved his own ex

cellence.

Uncle Jenks, the only ( ne of the troop

who really cared t wo straws for them

was with them still the rest had all been

frightene away by the rusticities of the Lake Wiscomac fjottage. "And I wish them bon voyage," said Mr. Haven, calmly. "So do I," agreed Mary.

CURRENT HISTORY,

Some Public Matters, Details of which will be Found of More than Ordinary Interest.

The Circulation. The money circulation of the country is estimated at 8831,757,060 in paper and $743,37,573 in metal. This distributed would equal $39.29 per capita. All natious use the grindstone,aud it is perhaps the one piece of machinery that has the same form and is the same in principle everywhere. "An invoice of gloves three feet in length is on the way." New York Tribune. Ht. Xioui girls are brightening

china's counter pkopqsition. The Marquis Tseng has announced the final terms of China. He says China will sign a convetiou binding France to a recognition of Chinese suzerainty over Tonquin and Annam's vassalage toChina. France is to agree to entirely evacuate Tonquin, China to admit a nominal French protectorate over Annam iu the fntnrev so long as France left both Tonquin and Annam unmolested. The terms amazed the French ministers, who pointed out to the Marquis Tseng that they were more pronounced than any heretofore proposed by Chixiu The Chinese embassador admitted that they were, and said he regretted it, but he assured the conference that the milder terms he had sent to Pekin for acceptance, had been instantly rejected, and that the Chinese government had instructed him to notify Franve that the present terms contained the maximum concession which the imperial government would make, and he feared that the proposals must be looked upon in the light of an ultimatum. There ia a good deal of anxiety in diplomatic circles to know what France will do. M. Grevy, M. Ferry and M. Wadington are in favoT of at ones accepting China's terms. Earl Granville advises their acceptance. Should the Frer ch ministry decide to accept them, they will do so upon the ground that England, as mediator, recommends their acceptance THE ERA OF TRAIN UOBBERT. With the disruption of the James gang it was hoped the business of train robbing would be brought to a close. But last week two of these events took place. Which shows that more prompt and energetic measures must be adopted than the acquittal of Frank James in Missouri lately if it is to be broken up. The first of these late trainrobbers took place Thursdav night, near Lakefcon, Ind, Three mashed men stowed themselves away an the train, and shortly before reaching that place they made themselves l'nown, demanded the keys of the express messenger s safe, bound and gagged him robVd the safe of $15;00 and some other valuables, and qnietlv left the train at Laketon. The robbery was not discovered until an hour after it had taken place and the bandits made their escape, not having been arrested as yet. The other robbf ry took pi ce near Cpolidgf, Has., early Saturday morning Near that place two men mounted the engine and shot the eng-neer and fireman. They then attacked the express car, but the bravery of the messenger and his skill with his pistol drove the robbers off and saved the mor.o, some S5C,000 in his charge. There were three men in the

gang, althon gh it is' believed thnt there

was a fourth who was not seen .The theory

of this robbery seems to be that it was

prepared bv men from New Mexico who

had been advised of the intended attack. This business of train-robbing has here

tofore proved profifertble for those ho

carried it on. Most passengers have more

or lessfunds. wlnle the express compan

ies and the mails carry large sums of

motfev. That it mnst bo stopped does

not admi' of a question, even if lynch law

has to be employed to show that the Mis

souri plad of dealing with train robbers

is not satisfactory to the people.

LABOR. In. the Trade and Labor Federation at

St. Louis, Saturday, th Committee . n

the Declaration of Principles made a re

port, which was adopted, Its salient

points are:

L That those who labor and crete

wealth are the most important in society,

and hence should enjoy the full benefit of their toil; that a just and equitable

distribution of the fruits of labor h not possible under the present system of society; that the present tendency toward

corporations is dangerous to the people's

liberty, and1 that the emancipation of the working people mast; be achieved by

themselves.

2. A demand that; railroad land grants

forfeited shall be reclaimed by the gov

ernment.

3. That election days shall be legal

holidays, and all wage laborers should

have half of Saturday as a holiday.

4, Equal nay for eqnal work to both

sexes, and the abolition of the convict contract-labor system..

5. Compulsory education and the State

to furnish books and other school mate

rial frea

6. Eight hours to constitute a legal

day's work, and penalties for its viola

tion.

7. Prohibiting child-labor in factories

and mines under M years of age.

8. The Commissioners of Labor of this State (Mirsouri) to belong to some labor organization, 9. Bailroads and telegraphs to become the property of the State. 10. The repeal of all acts known as the conspiracy acts, as applied to labor or ganizations; 11. A purely National circulating medium issued directly to the people. 12. Au employers' liability act, holding corporations liable for injury received by persons while in their employ. 13. That all trades and labor unions be incorporated by the Legislature, the same as other incorporated bodies. Farm Notes. New oats are not a good diet for horses, and should be fed sparingly. The cranberry business of the State of Wisconsin is estimated to be worth a million and a half of dollars. James Nipe, a Wisconsin beekeeper, says that so far this season his bees have stored 10,000 pounds of honey. Dairying in Minnesota is increasing ti c number of creameries in "the State having

doubled during the last year. In figuring up the cost of keeping

pomtf y the value of the droppings for

fertibzinc: purposes is in item which

should not be overlooked.

Beekeeping is an occupation in which

profit and pleasure are happily combined

It is well calculated to strengthen and

develop the mil :d.

Buckwheat, which has been injured by the frost, should he plowed under; its effects on next yeas crops will, in all probability, pay for the loss sustained this year. The Jay Gould in the cheese business in Canda is a Mr. McPherson, of Lancaster, Ont , who controls sixty -four cheese factories, capable of turning mu 25,000 boxes per month. Poultry-breeders claim that Buff Co

chins are among the very best breeds for the farm, although they will do well iu close quarters. They cross well, with other breeds and arc excelleut winter layers. At this season of the year meadow lands should not be pastured closely. Farmers sometimes through carelessness make this mistake, which they do not realize until the hay crop of the next year has been harvested. Diarrhea is not uncommon among poultry, and is often caused by badly ventilating their quarters, and by the rdnuking foul or stagnant wat er with a diet of rice or whole wheat will in most cases effect a cm e. A mixture of hard soa;p and kerosene a half pound of each to t hrive gallons of water, has been found by Prof. Goff, of the New York Experimental Station, to be most effective in extern liinating that pest, the cabbage-worm. The remedy iB simple. The Cape Cod cranberry crop will this year be a partial failure. 0.ne farm which last year produced 4,000 bai rels of excellent berries will this year put less than 200 barrels into market The cause of the failure is attributed to the vine and fruit worms. Household Hints. Green tomatoes sliced an t fried m butter a la egg plant, are much relished by Borne people. The slices should first lie in salt and water for two hours. This is said to he a very good remedy for hoarseness; Beat the white of an egg to a stiff froth, add two tablesDOonfuls of sngar, the juice of oue lemon and a glass f warm water. Sardines picked up fine and mixed with cold boiled ham, also minced fine, and all well seasoned with a regular mayonnaise dressing, make a delicious filling for sandwiches. Hard-boiled eggs pressed with chicken or veal add to the relish and the appearance also of these dishes when cut in slices. Pains must be taken not to press the eggs out of shape, A pretty way to decorate plush panels for an evening is to arrange a spray of flowers, either natural or artificial, and tie it with satin ribbon, and hang it in a graceful, carefully careless way on the panel. Here is the recipe for an old-fashioned pie: Grate a coffee-cupful of manle-suar-ar, and mix it with two esrgs and a li ttle salt, and as much cream as your pie-plate will hold. The pie-plate should bo a deep one, with an under crust only. Punch made with guave jell ey is nice, for an invalid. This is a vary old recipenud is va 'uable: One part of lime or lemon juice, two parts nf sweet. nvn jelly and white sugar, dissolved in boiling water three pans of old rum, four parts of was ter. Delictus little cakes for children are made of equal parts of arrowroot and wheat tlonr, a little salt, a small lump of butter, and are wet with sweet milk. Boll them quite thin, mixed the dough hard, out in fancy shapes, aud bake in quick oven. tv good warm weather pie is made of the juice and rind of one Lmion, one. cup of raisins stoned and chopped, one egg well beaten, one enn of sujrar, two milk crackers soaked iu three tables ooou nil of water, beat these all well together, bake in quick oven. Make the pie with upper and under crusts. This is an exc llent recipe for Graham Ereius, and differs from any before given:

Oue cup of Graham flour, one cup of fine flour, two eggs, two cups of sweet milk, one fourth of a teaspoonfitl of salt. Have the gem pms hot, and the oven hot, and twenty minutes will be long enough to bake them.

of Your Tools.

Take Care

Indiana Farmer. In the majority of coses it is the full intention of the farmer to put away any tool or machine being used as soon as he is done with it; but when the work is finished, whatever is being nsed is left until a most convenient time to put it away. Time passes and still it k not done, and finally it is neglected altogether, or left so long that much injury is done. Many farmers when asked to subscribe for a god agricultural paper will plead poverty, wheri at the sqme timo plows, harrows cultivators and other tools are left in the field, or piled iu the fence corner, or some other out-of-the-way place, tl ere to remain ub til wanted next year. The loss by such practices amounts to enongh in one year in many cases to pay for one copy of half the agricultural papers published in the country. It is not an un common sight to see in many parts of our country, and especially in the West,wagons, sleighs, mowers and reapers, and much other valuable machinery, left to take their chances with other less valuable farm iraplemeuts. Spring and summer, with all their cares and rush of work, will shortly be here, finding many

farmers unprepared for its appe ranee.

Everything used about the f irm should

be critically examined, and wherever a nut is off, a bolt lost, or any deficiency

whatever, it should be repaired at once,

and then everything carefully stored away

in some good, dry place. It costs very

little to prepare a place where everything

used about the farm can be stored with

out rust or decav. If a permanent build

ing cannot be made make a temporary

one, audtose it unti ' something better can

be provided. It will pay. System and care will soon enable any one to acquire the habit of Jputting everything in ite place when not in use. As soon as any implement, tool or machine is done with, even if it has to be used agaiu iu a few days, take at right to the place prepared for it, and there let it remain, out of the sun and rain, until needed again. Bill Nye in a Saw Mill. I have just returned from a trip up from tlw North AViscouein Bail way,where I went to catch a string of codfish oranythiug eko which might be contagious. Northern Wisconsiu is the place where they yank u big wet log into a mill and turn it into cash as quick as a railroad man can draw his salary out of a pay car. The log is held on cam aero by wcaus of iron dogs while it is boiug worked into lumber. These irou dogs are not like those we see ou the front steps of a brown stone front occasionally. They are an

other breed of dogs. Tbo managing editor of the mill lays out the log in his mind and works it into dimension stuff, shingle bolts, slabs, edgings, two by fours, two by eighths, two by sixes, etc., so as to nee the goods to the best advantage, just ns a woman takes

a dress pattern and cuts it so she won't

havo to piece the f rot t breadths, and will

still have enough left to ninko a jiolouaise

for the last summer gown.

I stood thore for a long time watching

the various saws aud listening to their monotonous growl, and wishing that I had been born a successful timber thief instead of a poor boy without a rag to my back. At one of these mills, not long ago, a man backed up to get away from the carriages, and thoughtlessly backed against a large saw which was revolving at the rate of about two hundred times a minute. The saw took a large chew of tobacco from the plug he had in his pistoi pocket, and thou begau on him. But there's no use going into details Such things are not cheerful. Theygathr ered him up out of the saw dust and put him in a nail-keg and carried him away, but he did not speak again. Life was quite extinct. Whether it was the nervous shock that killed hjm, or the concussion of the cold saw against his livor, no one ever knew. The mill shut down a couple of hours so that the head sawyer could file his saw, and then work was resumed once more. We should learn from this never to lean on the buzz saw when it moveth itself aright American Fables. Detroit. Free Press, A Sun-fish, having witnessed the error of a Sailor who came near being nabbed by a Shark, at once swam for the Vessel and began circling around at a furious rate. While thus engaged a Jack Tar leaned over the rail and scooped him in with a net," with the remark: . "While a Shark may eat a Sailor, there's nothing to prevent a Sailor from eating a Sun-fish." MOKAI. Never doubt a fish story. THE SAGE AND THE MOUKNEBS. A Sage who was on his weary journey te Wisconsin came upon a crowd one day and observed a general sadness in all faces. "WUy this gloom?" queried the old man, as he laid down his bundle and felt for the front end of his plug of tobacco. "Oh Sage, we mourn the death ol! a ?ood man," was the reply. ''Was he honored?'" "He was." "Sober, upright, charitable and given to peace?" "He was." ,fWho of you praised and encouraged him life?" asked the old nwn as he look cd around him. A hush fell upon the crowd, and no one replied. "Praise that comes after death." whispered the Sage, 'does not even cut down the under taker s bil Is. Better squander

vour time sawing wood fox- his widow."

MOBAXr The widow will be expected to take in

plain sewing to support herself.

THE FKOG AND THE T31AVELEK. A Traveler who had taken a seat near

a Waterfall would have'1 greatly enjoyed

the mighty roar but for the croaker of a

Frog near by. At length he rose up in

great wrath and assaulted the croaker

with a club.

'How inconsistent you are!' cried the

abused Frog, as he wiped the blood oil:

his ear. "This Waterfall makes a million

times more noise than I do, aud yet you.

turn upon me!

"True," replied the Traveler, as he

threw the Frog an oil-skin to keep off the

dampness, "but you should remember

that the dividing line between grandeur and disgust is drawn at the scrape of a fiddle and the howling of a dog." MORAL. It is every thing in being a waterfalL THE THIEF AND THE OFFICER. One of the finest who had been sleeping on his beat for the last hour was suddenly awakened by the cries of a man in distrefB. "What's all this row abaut?" inquired the oirictsr. "1 have been robbf d of a Bathel!" "Describe it." T cauiiot, for it is one I stole myself only half an hour before!" "Then why this great outcry ? Ton h"ve simply been robb?d of what you did not own." True, and it is that which hurts. The fellow evidently took me for an honest man!" MOBAIi. It hurts lots of contractors the same way.

NATIONAL COLOBED. CONVEN-TION.

Newspapers and! Libel, Indianapolis News. Judge Adams' charge, as to the matter of newspaper libel, is well worth anybody's attention. As a rule, a newspaper libels nobody. Once in a great while an unprincipled man will happen to control a paper. Such a combination may even libel a man, but when it does it is so easy to prove the maliciousness o it that exemplary damages are easily found. And this exception proves the truth of the rule that a newsy ape r libels nobody. Its existence depends upon its fair treatment of all men. As a news-gatherer at all points, and in the very nature of its daily make up, mistakes occur and sometimes injefctice is wrought,bnfc ii; is an injustice that inadvertently ccmes in the pursuit of a legitimate object, and that makes all the difference in the world. Court proceedings, for instance, are public in their

nature. It is not onlj a newspaper's priv

ilege or right, but its duty to print such

proceedings. It is a protection to public

bberty. Clearly, then, a most malignant

procedure must take place if the public

report of a public affair ii3 distorted to

work private injury. We think Judge Adams' charge can bo a source of popular instruction, if it will be held as gen

eral, and i?j its application as covering

any fair report of public events. Oil Stills the Waves. The cod fishermen of the banks will hereafter endeavor to go to sea provided with a liberal allowance ot oil with which to cal m troubled waters. There is no doubt about its efficiency. Tho plan was tried by many vessels of the Gloucester fleet during tho recent heavy gales, and probably saved many of t iemtrom being badly damaged, if not entirely wrecked,

by the terrible seas. The effect is almost

magical, as the oil drippiug iu the water prevents the se a from breaking, and the vessel is enabled to ride safely on tho

After a Heated and Prolonged Discuscossion ai Address Adopted At the recent session of the colored people at Louisville, the following address was adopted : 1. That we are grateful for and rejoice in the miraculous emancipation that came to our race twenty years ago. We do not, cannot forge! the great sacrifice of women and heroic men who made possible the struggle in which treason and slavery were consigned to a common sepulcher; nor would we be unmindful of the measure of devotion and patriotism that the white and colored soldiers rendered the Nation. 2. We are not insensible to 'the fact that the Congress of the United States has spread upon the statute books many laws calculated to make us secure in our rights as citizens; nor would we be forgetful of the magnificent amendments to the Constitution intended to render forever impossible the crime of human slavery. 3. We do not ask any more class legislation. We have b ad enou gh of that; but we do believe that many of t ie laws intended to secure to us our rights as citizens are nothing more than dead letters. In the Southern States, almost wit hout exception, c lored people are denied justice in t e courts, denied the fruit of their houesb labor, defrauded of their political rights at the ballot-box, shut out from learning trades, cheated out of their civil rights by inn-keepers aud common carrier companies, aud left by the States to an inadequate opportuoity for education and general improvements. 4. We regard the labor question, edlu cation and sound moral training paramount to all other questions, We believe that question, especially in the South, needs recasting and p'antation credits and the mortgage system should be abolished. Honest labor should be remunerated, tho landholders of the South shrill recognize that this question is to be solved by encouraging negroes to industry, frugality and business habits, by inciting them to habits of thrift, by assisting them to acquire an interest in the soil by paying them honest wases for honest work, and by nutting them ha ppy and contented in the land of their nativity, while the men, o?oers of the soi': in the south, can settle the question of labor and capital between white aud black. we believe in a broad and comprehensive system, looking toward the education of young colored girl, so that she may be enablel to become intelligent and faithful women, and that the young colored boys may learn trades and become useful man aud good citizens.

7. The distinction made between white and colored troops in the regular army is un-American, unjust and ungrateful. White men can enter any brauch of the service, while colored men are confiaed to the cavalry md infantry service. And in the appointment of civilians to the regular army we believe it the duty of the President of the United States to consider the claims of colored men. This distinction is carried into the navy as well. 8. It is not our province to dictate a policy for the government of the actions ot our fe low-citizens in the several States.

How a Philadelphian Proved That .He Was Not a "Northern Coward' ,

A Happy Community. Cleveland Herald. About eight miles from Cleveland and six miles south of Mineral Point, the termiuus of the Valley Road at the Wheeling Junction of the Wheeling and Lake Erie, there is a quaint little old village

known as Zoar, inhabited by a strange frugal and industrious people, the happiest, perhaps, in the world. They know no care; nothing worries aud troubles them. A larg number of them never saw the outside of their beautiful home, a veritable paradise, and trouble themselves little, if any, about the turmoil and strifes of the wicked world. The colony was first founded 1817 by Huber and A?kermann, two Germans, the former a native of Wurtemburg, and the latter hailing from Bavaria, Shortly afterward, in the same year, they and a few followers from the same country formed a community aud named it Zoar, because they looked upon their homes as a pla-je of refuge from the world, which thoy termed Sodom aud Gomorrah. The first two houses which Huber and Ackermaun built in 1817 quaint, antique structures are still inhabited by the descendants of the two oncers. They are built of logs and mortar aud coutaiu but oue largo rooin,sparsely furuisked. The windows are small each containing nine panes of glass about six inches square. The roofs are covered with tiles, as those of all the houses erected up to 1850, when the art of tile making died out in Zorir. The inhabitants, who have no desire to amass wealth, work for one common end that is, for the good of the community; which owns and controls the -village, in-

Cainp Pecos, N. M., L; iter to Now York San Gus. Davis, of Philadelphia, came here some months ago, and was engaged as a cattle herder by Mr. John Shu e, a wealthy stock owner. Davis soon showed himself to be a useful man, and gained the esteem of nis employer and the envy of the other herders. In less than three months he had resisted so many temptations to quarrel with his Mexican associates that he was nickuamed The Northern Coward." One morning, about three weeks ago, while Davis was on duty looking after his catt'o, Jesus Garcia, a Mexican, saluted him as usual, with "Good morning Northern coward." Human endurance has its limit, and Mr. Davis thought he had been insulted long; enough. The Mexican was at first surpiis d at the stand taken by the Philadelphian, but word brought ou word, until each determined that the other must die. The quarrel soon brought all the neighboring cow-boys to the spot. The mrde of combat was speedily arranged. A chain thirteen inches long was securely locked about their necks. A Mexican dagger, a two-edged knife six inches long, was given to each of the duelists. The obliging cow-boys then lowered the men into a dog cauon, a descent of seventy-five feet. There they were to remain until the one killed the other. A key to the lock was given to each, and no one was allowed to interfere further. The rest of the cow-boys then went to work, as if nothing unusual had occurred. For soixe days nothing was known as to the result of the encounter. Yesterday, however, Davis,very weak and emaciated, returned to camp, dragging after him the lifeless body of Jesus Garcia. The story Mr Davis tells ii as follows: "The fight began as soon as they reached the bottom of t e canon. Being looked together, each was alwnyg within reach of the other's knife, Aftee such deliberation as the few moments during our descent permitted, I decided that unless the first blow were fatal, the chances were in favor of the party assailed. I accordingly allowed the Mexicau to strike the first blow. He plunged his knife into my side. As soon as I found his arm thus stretched forward, I cut the muscles of his right arm n ear the shoulder. Immediate ly his knife dropped. While he was stooping to uick u p his knife, I sent my blade into his body from the back. Before I could strike again he had picked up his knife aud cut the cords of my arms, so as to render them both useless. "Here we bth stood for a few seconds, when I discovered that his heart had been reached. His body 60; n fell iu the death struggle to the ground. The chain was so short that he brought me down with him. In a few moments he was dead. I was so weak from the loss of blood chat I lay down by his side. We lay ther for a few days and nights, until hunger drove me to make a last effort. I climbed the steep incline of the walls of tie canon and reached the camp carry ng Gercia on my back."

A DETECTIVE'S EXPERIENCE.

Buffalo, N Y., News. , . v. '

One morning several years ago, just as

the dull gray light was beginning to show

itself in the east, a small band of men

might have been seen deployed about a

house on Perry street, in Buffalo. There was nothing special either in the dress or

appearance of the men to indicate their in-

te tion, but it was plain that they had business of importance on hand. Sudden

ly a man appeared at one of the windows, took in the situation at a glance, and swinging himself outward, with wonder

ful quickness, scaled the roof of the house. This man was Tom Ballard, the notorious

counterfeiter; and, armed to the teeth ana

fully realizing his situation, he defied jus

tice and the officials below him. Some of

the officers, knowing the desperate char

acter of the man, proposed to shoot him until he was killed, but one of the num-

er promptly protested, and declared that '

if his brother officers would assist him to

as cend he would capture the man alive.

Accordingly he began the difficult and dangerous task, and succeeded in bring

ing his prisoner to the ground in safety.

The man who accomplished thiB task was Mr. Thomas Curtin, the present su

perintendent of city police of Buffalo, N. T. Mr. Curtin !s a man who is known ;

by every prominent detective and police

man in America, and he stands pre-emi

nently in the front rank of his profession.

Quiet and gentlemanly in appearance and manners, he possesses a courage, eombined with marked physicial powers, , that make him the terror of evil-doers and the

pride of law abiding citizens. Few people can realize, however, the trials ex-posure-, and even privations, to which then embers ot every municipal police and fire department are exposed. Compelled to be on duty at uncertain hours,' subjected to the most inclement weat l:o, ii d cjtn necessitated by the nature of their duties to protracted undertakings, they endure a nervous; and physical strain that is terrible. Suck was the experience of Mr. Curtin in former days; and it is not surprising that he found himself suffering from a mysterious pbyf ical trouble. In relating hia e xperience to a lepres ntative of this paper he said: At times when 1 was on duty I would feel an unaccountable weariness and lack of energ2T- My appetite was also ucer tain and my head seemed dull and h eavy. I chd not fully understand thi se troubles, but supposed ss most people 6up poEe, that I was suffering from malaria. I tried to throw off the feeling, but it would not go. I thought I might over-, come it, but found I was mistaken, and I finally became so badly off that it was almost impossible to attend my duties. I have known any number of men in. the police and fire departments of this country who have been afflicted as I was, and I doubt not there are today hundreds similary troubled who, like myself, did f not know the cause, or really what ailed them." t. - , L y "Your present appearance, Mr. Curtin, i does not indicate much physical debility," said the interviewer as he - looked at the 220 pounds of bom and muscle standing nearly five feet oleven inches in height before him. . ;'. J... ., "O. no; that is altogether a thingof the past, and I am happy to say that for more than a year I have enjoyed almost perfect health, although I no w reph'ze that I was on the road to certain, death by Bright's disease of the kidneys, and traveling at a very rapid pdce.' ' . "How did you come to recover so completely?" ; "That is j ust what I want to tell you, . for I believe it may be of great service fo many others in my profession who may possibly hear of it. I began ths use of a popular remedy at the earnest solicitsWon of a number of friends in this ci ty and found to my great gratification that

"So you experience little difficulty iu the execution ot your duties now,. Me, Curtin, do you?" .s "None whatever. Oar department was nev:r in better condition than at pros-c

"And do you never have any fearot some ot the desperadoes vhom you have

been the means of bringing to justice?"

"Not in the least. Such men do not try to retaliate, partially because they have not the courage,but of tener because they respect an officer who does his '.duty." . .; . J "... The policemen, firemen, letter carriers and other pubho employes in this country have a particilarly trying life. When, therefore, a simple and pure remedy that c u restore and sustain the health of all such men is found, it should be cause for great congratulation, especially wheu recommended by such a man as Superin

tendent Thomas Curtin of Buffalo.

Business Sense and Cents. Now York Sun. Nashville is agitating the cent question The smallest coin in circulation in that city is the 5-cent piece, and shopkeepers are beginning to see the folly of keeping out the ouce despised cent. One d.y goods merchant estimates his losses at Si to $5 a day on account of failure to make exact change. Another merchant is going to use postal cards in making change if the cents do not come into favor, A retail dealer has ordered $100 worth of cents from this c ty, and proposes to start the reform at once. The official returns give the value of the tobacco consumed in France in 1882 at 368,500 000 francs. Cigars show a total of 60,500,000 francs; cigarettes, 16,000,000; aud chewing tobacco 9,000,000, T..e heaviest amount, 278,000,000 francs, was for ordinary smoking purposes.
