ICDITOltlAL TALK.

—Gov. Jerome, in answer to a letter from a committee represcntinc the li(|Uor dealers' aKsociiation, replied that he stood square on the Kepnhlican plat-form adopted at Kalamazoo, His letter hr»8 l)een complimented on ail sides a - straightforward and manly. Begole, the fusion candidate,did not see fit to send in his reply. Ho finds it hard work to stand with one leg on the Jackson dem-ocratic platform and the other leg on the (Srand Rapids greenback platform. It's a hig stretch—no mistake about that. Must be tiresome,

—L. M. Sellers, the Republican nomi-nee for Representative in the third dis-trict, ought to be elected by a sweeping majority. Ho has done a vast amount of hard work for that district and for the interests of the people,and the people will not forget him at the polls. They ought to give him a handsome compliment and we believe they will.

—Congressman Lord was renominate «d by the Republicans of tho first district by a unanimous vote. He is one of Michigan's brightest men and it would be a misfortune to the state should he be defeated at the polls. Let the people of the first district show their wisdom and good sense by giving Mr. Lord a rousing majority.

—Joseph K. Fairchild. of tho Alcona Review, has been mentioned as a proper

man to put on the Republican legisla" tive ticket of his district. I t would please the JOURNAL to see Joseph step to the front.

—Julius Houseman has written a letter defining his position. He speaks very highly of the National Bank cur-rency, declaring it to be the best cur-rency we ever had. Somegreenbackers don't like that kind of talk.

—They will not want to try fusion any more in Maine. As the boy said when tho hen pecked him—"that's sufficient, thank you."

Hundreds of democrats and hundreds of greenbackers will vote the Republican ticket this fall. They are heartily sick of "foosion."

—The Egyptian war is over and tho score stands about iiO to 0 in favor ot England.

—The Vittles party,headed by Be-gol e, will be beheaded be-gol-e.

The base ball contest last Wednesday between a picked nine from the east side and a dit to from the west side was the most exciting game of the season.

Will Coleman was the chosen umpire and was a good one. There were also 25 or 30 other um-pires who did excellent service.

The JOURNAL gave the wrong date last week for the democratic and green-back representative conventions at Ada. The conventions are to be held there to-day and the fusion nominee will in all probability be Mr. J . C. Train of this village. The JOURNAL regrets its mistake in the date and took pains to correct it so far as it could be done ver bally. If Mr. Train is nominated, and it is quite certain he will be, we must

give Ihe fusionists the credit of nomi-nating their strongest man in this <lis-triet. He will be pitted against a man equally strong and popular, however, and the contest will Ixt well fought on bolli sides.

Mr. (J. W. Hunt, the pianist, has de-cided to leave Ionia and go to Erie, Pa., flatterimc inducements having been offered him to take up his abode in that city. Mr. Iliint is an accomplished pianist and will of course find plenty of work wherever he goes.

Several attempts at burglary have been made in town of late. The res-idences of Dr. Grant, Mrs. Richard's and other people on tho west side have Uoen visited by some rascal or rascals who deserve to be shot. Mrs. Riclmids house was entered Monday night but the visitor was frightened away before obtaining any booty. There is only one way to treat these night fiends. Shoot them as you would a mad dog. Be ready for them and aim straight. Burglars are generally cutthroats and should be treated as such.

Mr. Wm. C. Young, one of the best citizens of Cannon,died last Wednesday of Bright's disease, aged 01 years. The funeral occurred on Sunday from the Bostwick Lake church. Rev. D.L.Eaton officiating, who preached an excellent sermon from Job. 17-11. An immense concourse of friends followed his re-mains to the grave. 150 teams being in the procession. Mr. Young came to Cannon in 18-14 and has been one of the most prominent citizens of that town for many years. He has repeatedly been honored with positions of trust and honor and has ever been found faithful and worthy. When such men depart the community mourns.

The Boston Operatic Minstrels under tho management of Mr. W. R. Brigg's, performed to a largo and appreciative audience at the Opera House liist night.

The great sextette of Clog Dancers were called back six times, and responded willingly. Will Webber as a female impersonator brought the house down. From the time the curtain rose on the afterpiece, "A Quiet Night's rest," it was one stream of applause and laughter, until the cur-tain wont down.—C'OIOICIV JMiiffs Doily Xoajxircil.

The overwhelming Republican victory in Maine, which sliow.vu clear Repub-licau gain in that state of about 10.000 votes since the election of two years ago. is a blow between the eyes of '•Fusion" that knocks all hope out of the opposition and justly rebukes the mo-tive that led them to combine against the Republicans. With spoils for their motto and no principles to stand on the fusionists in Maine stood just where the Michigan fusionists now stand, on dan-gerous ground, and they have now come to a sore realization of that fact. While the Republicans expected to car-ry Maine their majority was much larger than they had estimated. The fusion-ists were equally confident of carrying the state and consequently their over-whelming defeat comes with such crush-ing force as to utterly disorganize the Republican opposition in that state and destroy all hope among them for the future. With tiie same earnest and active work by the Republicans of Michigan that the Republicans of Maine put into their campaign, the result in this state will be equally gra t i f \ ing . The Kepublicans of Michigan will not rugard this as an "off year." They know that the opposition are doing their best to " take the polo" and he in good sluqie for the race in 1884 and the Rep-ublicans of this state will not giveaway their position this fall.not even to please the hungry fusionists. As goes Maine so goes Michigan. Active, aggressive work by every Ri-publican in Michigan is wanted now. That's all. Victory will follow Nov. 7.

ROCKKORD, Sept. 10, '82. Ed. .lol'RNAL:—The anti-monopoly

free trade-tariff-for-revenue-only - hard-money- interconvirtidile-national -labor-greenback -fiat-money conglomeration of this district "huddled together" here to-day in two mobs, which after a "right smart" of gab was formed into a shigle huddle, when it was determined on the part of the sages of tho great aggrega-tion that it was of the most vital im-portance to the people of this district" that they be no longer represented by a republican. And with this end in view

it was determined to bring the two mobs together and form "a single string of

light" which they did by nominating a strangi r named Wilson as* their sland-

ard (pall) bearer. But little infoimation can be gotten

respecting this stranger, save that his place of residence is in Walker town-ship, one of tho rural wards of the city of Grand Rapids. The utmost iinnnim-ity prevailed, each faction of the party denouncing the other as d - d hogs, for wanting all the offices. In this even Democrats and (ireenbackers have been constrained to tell the truth. Give us some more of these facts, gentlemen. They cannot fail to be of interest to flu people. No one on this side of the fi-nci will (|Uestion your right to speak out. S.

RoCKFORD, Sept. 18th. 1882. EDITOR JOURNAL: AS t h e L e g i s l a t i v e

nominations have not all been made, it can hardly lie said that the campaign is fully open. Vet the opposing forces an rapidly getting into order of battle, and already on the "picket line" there have been no small number of personal en-counters, and here and there some live-ly skirmishing "in force" with small arms, besides an occasional bombard-ment from the heavier guns, such as shook the Saginaw Vall'/y of the 2-Uli of August, when Horr, the grand old cham-pion of Republicanism hurled into the disorganized ranks of the famishing "Fuzeis," such a shower of red hot shot and with such force, precision and rapidity as will keep Ihe hungry mob dodging from now until after the No-vember election. Let every Republican in the land rend Horr's sjieech and not be satisfied with one reading, but let it be read again, and again, for it would be hard to find a better enunciation of Republican principles, or better reasons why these principles should prevail both in our state and national councils. Our state ticket gives general satisfaction in this community and everything indi-cates that it will receive an enthusiastic support, and unless the "fiiL. r of proph-ecy" has got on the thumb hand side, it points to one of the grandest victories, this fall, ever achieved by the republi-cans of Michigan.

The county ticket receives an earnest and sincere support on all hands in this vicinity. Tlvcre are no "pimples" on anybody's head here, and so far as I am able to learn this is the way it

"hangs out" ail over the, county. With such assurances as these; with

principles to contend for, and with a ticket mad6 up of the names of men every one of whom is worthy of the suf-frages of the people we need have no uneasiness as to the results in old Kent.

In this, the 3d Representative district, two years ago we had only 104 major-ity. but tills year we mean to trebble that majority for we have in the person of L. M. Sellers a candidate possess!mr all the requisites for making a thorough-ly successful campaign.

Eminently fitted by nature, education, and experience for the duties of the of-fice;, deservedly popular among all clas-ses and thoroughly inspired with a spir-it of determination to accomplish what-ever ho undertakes, there need be no fears but that L. M. Sellers will "get to the front" in the 3d district with a rous-ing majority. The Gods have so willed it. &

P o l i t i c a l P o i u t e r s .

The "combined" opposition press must be hard up for material with which to fight the campaign, for it has already commenced to revamp tho old exploded lies which were told about Governor Je-romeat Vorktown. Throw mud to'your full satisfaction, blackguardism will not w i n in Michigan.—LUJISMIJ; Republican.

The head of the "combination ticket" truthfully sketched by the Northwest-ern Tribune published at Mt. Pleasant as follows: " J . W. Begole. the man who has consented to open his 'barrer a'nd devote it to thesuccess of the fusion party, is personally a fair sort of a man. but intellectually he is a failure. One term in congress satisfied the Rei'iibli-cans of his district that he possessed but little ability, and therefore ho was de-feated for the second term by a demo-crat. This soured him and he went to the greenbackers.''

The Detroit Evening News in sum-ming up the result in the PineTive state says: "Maine's contribution to the greenback contingent in congress is thus eliminated, and a demonstration fur-nished that the people dislike democra-cy and greenbackism mixed quite as much as they dislike them taken sqKi-rately. I t is'ominous of the fate of fu-sion in Michigan, and we oiler heartfelt condolence to the gentlemen who yield-ed to the temptation of political adultery at Grand Rapids and Jackson."

The greenback organ of Ionia says: "The Maine election is a disheartening blow to Michigan fusionists. Tiie result in Michigan next November will be even more disheartening. If our misguided greenback friends were wise they would now desert a hopeless combination and rally around the old greenback banner. 50.000 votes for a straight greenback ticket this fall would bo a grand tri-umph for principle whereas a fusion de-feat would be a humiliating disaster. The one is possible, the other is certain.

T h e Day of KOKI.

"The Sabbath was made for inan" for iiis rest, of body and mind, for his im-provement; to give him time to think, read and listen to instruction, to change his diess, make clean his linen, think of

the past and the future, take his lati-

W e a l h e r w u x ' s Loca l s . H i d e a n d l o n g i f u d e . ( n j o y t h e s o c i e t y o f !

home, elevate •ocicty, and got ready for • IVst mid cheapest assortment of black the last of earth. Tho Sabbath is an in- j •J'-d/ reani Spanish Laces in town at

stitution of hiaven, the poor man's poor friend, tho solace of the laboring class. Without the Hible and Christianity there would !«• no day of rest, but clerks, mechanics, artisans, and all would have to work seven days in a week ami get pay for only six. Cod has so formed the earth, so fixed Ihe boun daries, so made it bring forth, and en-dowed man with the power of aceonip-lishmeiit that six days of labor will pro-vide for all the wants of man and beast. And he has so made man and beasts oi burden that they will inevitably run down, weaken their powers. andHhorlen their days if they work seven days in the week. In the long run hotli" man and beast will do more work in six days than in seven. This has been tested again and again. And in every com-munity where the Sabbath sentiment is low. tho morals of the people are corres-pondingly low. All this professed chris-tianized nations well undoratand and statesmen havo been careful to enact laws with reference to tho Sabbath. Thus no hired clerk or laborer of any kind can he forced to work on the Sab-bath. No one's wages can he docked for not working on the Sabbath. No con-tract can he made on the Sabbath, No note, bank or otherwise, can fall due on the Sabbath. And no stores, nor shops can ho open legally on the Sabbath, and no theaters can be opened for aninse-ment, no games can ho played nor wit-nessed on the Sabbath without subject-ing the parties to fines and if need ho to imprisonment. All this shows the views of statesmen on this subject. We know that some of these laws are a dead let-tor, nevertheless they are land marks of what ought and what oinjht not to he done, and they are no less binding lie-cause not enforced. They appeal to the moral sense of every community. The attempt to bring hack Christian" nations from tho observance of the Christian Sabbath, to the observance of tho seventh day of the week, has been attempted again and again by a few, back through the centuries, hut always with the same result. A few of a certain class of mind will be carried back, but the great mass of the Christian world will follow the bright nnd morning star. One seventh of the time is the principle and the Christian world with a wonderful unan-imity, and under the direction of the in-spired Apostles have chosen the resur-rection day, and not the dark mournfu!. gloomy day when our Savior lay in tho tomb, as their seventh day or Sabbath, and Christ has id ways blest the choice. Let us all hail this day as a most benefi cent institution, as a great blessing to us all. J. M. V. W.

The Ionia National, the greenback or-gan of Western Michigan, says:

The result in Maine foreshadows the result in Michigan. The honest voters of our own state will repudiate the un-holy alliance with a corrupt thing even more emphatically than did those of Maine. We are sorry for Flaisted, sor-ry for Murch and sorry for Ladd. We believe all three of these men to be good, earnest Greenbackers. We shall bo equally sorry for Begole and others in our own stale who have been wheedled into this thing, but if in the end it will have taught Greenbackers everywhere a lesson, some good may come even from defeat.

ATTORNEY GENERAL VAN RlI'ER has given an opinion as to tho proper con-

struction of the t ime wi th in wh ich re -gistration of voters should t ake place,

under Ac t 142. law to require such re -gistration to take place a t the meet ing of tho board of registration, and a t no other t ime, which would bo an impos-

sibility. The at torney general first calls

a t tent ion to the various acts providing for registration and says: " T h e regis-

trat ion to l)e made this fall, and tha t of every ten years thereaf ter , is to be

made JUS provided for registrat ions since 1859, which may bo found in sec. 109,

C. L. 1871, wherein it provides tha t

a f t e r the year 1859 it shall be the r igh t of a n y such qualified .elector residing in

the township , and entitled to vote a t t he next election therein, and whoso

name has not been registered, on any

day, except Sunday, the days of the ses-

sion of the board of registrat ion, and

the days intervening between them and tho next approaching election,fo applu

to the luwimhij) clerk, in jiei-Hon, for

the rcyintrolion of his name, and if. up-

on such examination as is required by

the next section of this act (Sec. 170, C. L. 1871), the clerks shall bo satisfied that

such applicant is a resident of the town-ship, and otherwise iiualificd and enti-

tled to vote in such township, at the

then next election to be hold

therein, the name of such applicant shall be written ei ther by himself or by the clerk upon a seperate paper, to be kept by the clerk, h s r e s -idence (lescribed, and the da te of the en t ry noted, etc. . •which paper shall In* laid before the board of registrat ion of each townsh ip , a t its next meeting, for examina t ion and review, and tho names of such persons appearing thereon as the board shall bo of opinion are q u a l -ified electors a t the then nex t election and entitled to vote thereat , may, l y some member of the board, and under the i r direction, bo entered in the proper register in the manner above set fo r th . " etc. In s u m m i n g up the case the at tor-ney general says: " I t will t h m be seen t ha t electors need not icnit fur the meet-iiiys of the registration bourdx, b u t m a y as above stated, call in person upon the township clerk, leave their names wi th him and thus secure their registrat ion. I am therefore of the opinion t ha t the regis t ra t ion of names as above provided a n d as registered since 1809, will be va ' id , and in accordance wi th the exist-ing registration lavvs,as amended in 1881."

Mrs. Douglas' Tea-Oupa.

A Charming Inridcnt Illustrating Her Tact and Amiability.

A story has been going: the rounds of the press lately attr ibuted to Mrs. Sena-tor Bingham—if any historian can re-member such a senator—that infringes too closely upon an incident in tho Tifo of Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas to bo lot pass unmolested. Tho tradition tellers and tho legend lovers of Washington have always romombcrod tho pret ty and graceful ways of Mrs. Douglas, and nev-er cease to hold her un as the model of a sfa tosman's wife. Her tact and her amiability were boundless, and although when she marr ied tho Little Giant she was very young and much his junior, she adapted herself to the position from the start so thoroughly tha t no wife of twenty years ' experience in public life could equal hep. For every friend, for every const it uont, and for every enemy of Senator Douglas she had just the right thing ready to say, and, with her wonderful memory for names, faces, and places, she was never without some personal inquiries to make of each stranger. Her social instinct was as marvelous as tho gif t of second sight, and when she accompanied Mr. Doug-las on his famous journey through the south to visit his mother there was not a person onoountored in all that tour that she could not have rooogir./.ed at sight and called by name ban they entered her par lor nnnnuouiiccd a year later. Mrs. Douglas ' popularity was wonder-ful at tha t time, and her face and win-n ing ways made fr iends right and left for tho senator, a t that time a candidate for the presidency.

At one of her receptions in Washing-ton a great , shy, awkward constituent f rom the most rustic region of Illinois, presented himself in Mrs. Douglas' doorway, sent u p there from tho capitol by tho senator, who had assured him tha t his wife would be delighted to see him. The visitor was anytliing but a parlor ornament , a rude, unpolished son of tho prairie, unused to any of tho ways of society, but a power in the politics of his home, and a man whoso iniluence could bo of vast assistance to Mr. Doug-las. En te r ing tho room" gave him a nervous chill, Mrs. Douglas' pre t ty greet ing threw him into a fever, and her inviting him out to tho re f reshment room completed a case of palsy. Ignor-ing his trepidation she chatted away to him herself, paid no attention to his s t ammer ing refusals, and poured out the tea into some miraculous little cups of eggshell Sevres. Grasping the fairy calyx in his fingers for a first sip, tho delicate bit of Sevres was crushed to pieces and the hot tea nourod in a s t ream over Mrs. Douglas' silken train. With a gay laugh the lady said, "How brittle they are! jus t look at mine ," and with a mighty effort she broke another cup between her fingers. Reassured, the constituont drew his breath and found himself at ease, wliile tha t incompara-ble hostess talked to him, asked nbout his mother, his wife and his children, all of whom she remembered so well and called by name. T h a t man went home to work for, vote for, and swear by Stephen A. Douglas, and way back of his political convictions lay the pieces of those broken tea-cups.

Some ladies were discussing the inci-dent at a lunch par tv the other day, es-

" r e . D tablishing Mrs. Douglas' r ight to fame and rout ing the mythical Mrs. Senator Bingham, of whom tho perverted story lias lately been told. Said one pret ty woman: " I wouldn ' t break my bes t tea-cups for any constituont in my hus-band ' s distr ict ." Out of tho group there was only one who courageously said: " I ' d break my whole dinner set, if it would send my husband to the senate, and buy now ones when I got to Wash-ing ton ," she shrewdly a d d e d . — S I . Louis Ulobc-Democrat.

Card playing is practiced in no coun-t ry to so grea t an extent as in Russia. All ages and both sexes are passionate-ly fond of it. The manufacture of play-ing cards is a Government monopoly, and there is only one factory, f rom which 24,000 packs aro turned out dai-ly, or over 7,000,000 a year.

An Open Field. In this grea t country of ours we are

continually want ing more food; our de-mands keep pace with the supply,while if there bo a superabundance, our cousins across water aro glad enough to take it f rom us. I t follows, then, t ha t there is to be money made in farm-ing. People must eat; therefore tho food-producer has tho means of inde-pendence at hand. Why do not young men possessed of small capital dismiss all idea of a professional or mercantile life and turn farmers? The problem of how to make a living can bo more sat-isfactorily solved by falling back on tho soil than by any other experiment. There are still cheap lands in the West and South, and if a young man lacks money to fa rm on a big scale, ho can begin in a smaller way, and by stock raising, small fruits, truck patching or some other limited essays in this whole-some and useful field ot agriculture se-cure a living, and, with reasonable for-tune, in t ime a competence. There aro hundreds of young men in cities who could, in a few years, save up enough money, if they wore so inclined, to buy a little place and devote themselves to raising food for tho over-increasing mil-lions of consumers in the country. With all tho hardships of fa rm life, a'nd they have been greatly exaggerated, it is tho happiest life known to men. I t is f reer f rom the bickerings and the worriments nnd the tor tuous devices and tho selfish rivalries and tho antagonisms tha t mark tho s t ruggle of humanity for food, shel-ter and clothing than any other mode of existence. I t is a life wfilch is common-ly at tended with health, with good ap-petite and digestion, sound sleep, clear complexion, expanded lungs, firm mus-cles, an open mind and an untroubled conscience. A farmer is his own mas-ter, and to bo that is a tiling to be cov-eted and sought after. The brave and energetic young fellow who has made a good selection of a little f a rm in a well-watered valley, and who moans to be forehanded and avoid debt and slavery, can in time, unless he Is signally unfor-tunate, be his own master in every proper sense, and ho will find this free and beautiful open-air life a thousand-fold happier than the arlilicial life of towns. Here there is a field that is over open. There is no danger of its being overcrowded. There will always be a tendency to rush into tho cities for the excitements which fiourish there, and tho wise and ardent young men who turn their backs on these false shows and go s t raightway to nature will como out best in the long run, and enjoy life in a simple, wholesome way us they go along.

Goiug it Blind.

HNW a Slphllrvi Man DUponnos wiih a Gnid# and i> Makinj His Fortune.

Moses Schwartz, a t runk inanufaotnr-er of Brooklvn. is totally blind, yet ho is |)rii|irietor of several t runk stores, and is a prospernus business man, and dot's business with many customers who do not detect his misfortune.— When he was a buy. says tho New York Xkh. lie ruined his eves by pull ing a match in a pan of gunpowiler, and, al-though his sight was ruined for life, and he was adviseil Hi spemi his life in an asylum for the biimi. he resenteil such expressions of sympathy, and said that he intemled to makt; his way in the world with his remaining senses. Ho was passing St. Paul 's ehurchyard one day. and being attraeted by the noise made by the " fak i r s " who stand by tho iron fence to sell their wares, ho halted ami opened a convorsation with one of them. '•! am blind.11 he saiil, "and am not going to beg or steal. I think I can stand hero and earn a living as you do. Now, tell mo where I can buy a s tock."

The next day ho was a t tho elnirch-yftrd fence with a small lot of goods, and ho at once found that, though his sight was gone, he .could cry his wares with a good pair of l u n g s / a n d make his lingers serve him in assorting money and making change. For years ho re-mained a familiar ligure in Broadway. Ho found that 'his sense of hearing be-came most acute, and lie acquired a sensitive touch. Having a mechanical turn, he began the manufacture of t runks in a small way, and now ho runs a factory. He has devised several things in t runk-making, and ho avers that one patented article now yielding a good income to another was origi-nated by him.

In walking the streets Mr. Schwartz uses no guide. He holds his head erect, and carries u cane with which ho deftly feels his way. His pace is slow, nnd ho seems to have no dillieulty in get t ing along. His tirmness of manner and dignified bearing create a space about him, nnd persons who do not know his blindness instinctively turn aside to lot him pass. If by chance ho strikes against any one ho politely bogs pardon, touches his hat, if the collision chanecs to be with a lady, and passes on. " I t is foolish," ho says, " fo r a blind man to havo a hoy or a dog to lead him. I t teaches him dependence, ami, f r o m what I can learn, men who have guides do not get along as well as I do."

"Aro you never run over by ve-hicles?"

"1 have been once or twice. I was knocked down by a lady's plweton in Schemorhorn street once, because I mis-caleulated the distance of tho vehicle on account of the tar pavement, which deadened the sound of the wheels. But I have a trick for saving myself when I 'm knocked down . "

" W h a t is t ha t?" " I roll over aml over just as fast as I

can, sideways, until I 'm sure I 'm out of danger of being crushed. Then 1 j u m p to my feet, call out I 'm all right, and go on my way . "

"Few persons know that you aro bl ind?"

"Yes, tha t ' s t rue. My present wife did not know it until after wo got in love with each other. I go into com-pany as much as 1 can, and as I can talk' and sing I get along pretty well. I had, however, to it'll my wife of my infirmitv on one occasion before we wore married to excuse my awkwardness in a dance. I bumpeil against some of tho others in tho ligure. so often that they bccame angry, and I had to con-fess my blimlness. I go to the theatre very often, and nearly always havo a f ron t seat in the balcony. I am fond of the music and 1 like comoily very much ."

" H o w do you decido upon your stock of leather goods?"

" B y tho sense of touch and the sense of smell. 1 can tell you all the dillerent kinds of leather by sample by Ihe oily feeling and smell. I never was tleceived yet. In fact , I got along so well that some of my rivals have started Ihe story that I am not bl ind—that 1 only pretend to be." ^

A Four-Footed Ghost. A w r i t e r in t h e Ticcordcrnnd Covenant

says: Many years ago a gent leman re-lated to me his experience when a boy in Kngland, thus: My nearest way home was by a foot-path through tho village churchyard. The moon was shining brightly, and 1 determined lo lake the short cut. When I wan among tho graves I heard a ratt l ing sound and a moaning, which appeared to bo at a short distance and to como from under foot. I stood and listened and heard this repealed. I had supposed that I did not believe in ghosts, but this under-ground rat t l ing and moaning, and among the dead made mo fool very strange, but 1 was determined to know what K signified, and cauliously moving in the direction of the sound, I saw a new-made grave with something while moving in it, and heard tho ratt l ing and moaning coming from Ibis grave. I forced myself up to the side of the grave, and then founu that .i white calf had fallen into it, and in his etl'orts to cs-capa scratched down the gravel, which mado the rat t l ing souml, and then gave a moan of distress at his impris-oninent. ^ ^

Tho Fall of Lako Ontario. As an illustration of the manner in

which the lakes and streams are grad-ually fall ing away as the result of tho rapid decimation of our forests, thecaso of Ontario Lake in the central part of tho State may bo cited. An exchange says: " N o little concern is felt by per-sons interested in the harbor accommo-dalions of Lake Ontario, by reason oi the assured fact that the lake has fallen steadily, and in a marked degree, for many years. Tho records have been ac-curately kept, and leave no room for doubt. Many wharfs in many ports were formerly aceessiblo to vessels which cannot now come near them. The entrance to the harbor of Toronto has been kept open only by means of thorough dredging, and now when rock bottom has been reached, there is scarce-ly oupiigh water lo lloal the largest of the vessels which seek to pass. ll is easy to set forth the remedy, but the habits of an entire people must first bo changed. When a man cuts down a tree, will ho lake tho trouble to plant another as a substitute? No, he never will until human nature shall have been reconstructed.

Historians generally agree that (ien-cral Washingion 's death was caused by a cold contracted by exposure while r iding on horseback on a cold •Decem-ber d7iy. Mrs. Young, the last surviv-ing child of Washingion's steward. An-derson. herself just deceased, related recently how Washington 's death might have been averted. Il is true I hat he caught the cold referred to::nd returned home; but he was then summoned U> give instructions aliiitil thi. c •mplelion of a boat, and while stan iin.; without ha t or overcoat on the bani.s of the Po-tomac. the chilling blasts iuci Jased tho cold, which proved fatal.

Ho Couldn't Fit Him With a Pair of Shoes.

A negro, with nothing but a ragged look and a pair of big shoes to distin-guish him, entered Rube Hofl'enstein'.s store at New Orleans and asked to look at some shoes.

"Vat number do you vear? HoU'en-stein.

" I don ' t '/.aclly ' m e m b e r , " replied the negro, " b u t il 'pears lo me do num-ber is somewhar- ' round fourteen," and he held up a broad. Hat-looking foot, which shut 'out the light from the door like a screen.

••My gr-r-acions!" exclaimed HolVon-stein as lie gazed al the dimensions of the negro's pedal extremily. "ef your feet was a goimle uf inches longer, my front, dey would bo a I.air uf vings, un ven (labrial biays his drumpet all you vould haf to do to vork your feet und you llys shust so good as a little mock mgbird. .M\ gr-r-aeioiis, vat feel!"

"Look hyar , " said the negro, indig-nantly, "1 didn't come to dis store tobo 'suited. I nebhor t a l k ' b o u t anybody, a u d i a in ' t gwine to low anybody to t a l k ' b o u t me. (iod made dem feet, and 'muted me to tote 'em frew dis world, an' you ain't got no right lo find faul t wid dem. Fokes havo mighty 'spisable ways dose limes, 'pears lo inc."

"Veil, my front, you don' t must get mad. you know. If you see my bidder 's feet vol vas in New Jersey, you don ' t dink you vas nobody. Vy." if my broil-er vas in New Orleans, und valk on his hands in do summer dime, he nefor get sdruek on de head mil de sun. i i is feet vould be dwice as uiueh peller as an

"I didn't come hyar to talk ' bou t feet ," said the ne^ro, "1 come fur do •spress purpose oh gett in ' or pair oh shoes: if you ain't got any, say so, an ' I 'm gwine somewhar else."

"Vai l , my freni . Herman, come and dake a look at de shentleman's feet und see if dere vas anyding in de store vot wil vit h im."

Tho clerk did as he was bidden, and said there was not a pair of shoes in tho house that was large enough.

"If you is all gwine to keep a shoo store," said the negro in disgust, " w h y don ' t vou hab shoes on hand da t will lit fokes. f '

"Veil, my f r en t . " replied HnlVonslein, "ve don ' t can all'ord to keep shoes in do* stock vat will vit your feet. It vould pay us peller, you know, to pu t a lid und a gouple uf handles to dose kind uf shoes, und sell dem for leddor t runks , " and with a bland smile HolVonstein bowed the negro out. -New Orleans IHmcs-Deinocrat.

Experiments in Feeding. The" super intendent of the model

f a rm a t Gnelph, Canada , gives as below the results of some experiments made there in cntlle-brecding:

1. A steady frosty winter better than an open one in feeding cattle.

2. An average 'J or :$ year old steer will eat its own weight of dillerent ma-terials in two weeks.

3. Two or :! year old cut tie will add one-third of a pound more per day to their weight upon prepared hay and roots than upon the same materials un-prepared.

4. I t is 30 pe rcen t , more profitable to premature and dispose of fa t ten ing cat-tle a t two years old than to keep them up to three years.

5. There is no loss in feeding a cattle boast well upon a variety of materials fo r the sake of manure alone.

G. Farm-yard manure f r o m well-fed cattle .1 years old, is worth an average of !52.:LO p e r t o n .

7. A 3 yea r old cattle beast, well fed, will give a t least one ton of manure every month of winter.

8. No catt le beast whatever will pay for tho direct increase lo its weight f rom the consumption of any kind or quanti-ty of food.

9. On an average it costs 12 cents for every additional pound of llosh added to the weight of a 2 o r 3 yea r old fat ten- j ing steer.

10. In C a n a d a the market value of store cattle can be increased 30 percent , dur ing six months of finishing by good feeding.

11. In order to sccure a safe profit, no store cattle beast, well done to, can ho sold at less than -U cents per pound (live weight.)

I I . In tho fat tening of wethers, to finish"as shearings, the Colswold and Leicester g rades can be made up to 20(1 pounds, the Oxford down 180 pounds, and the South down (grade) 1(50 pounds each, live weight.

13. A cow wintered upon two tons and a half of hay will produce not far f rom five tons of manure, provided tha t she bo well littered and none of tho ex-crements be wasted.

A Promlaing Member of tho Bar, When Hon. ,1. 1'., of Maine, was a

lawver fresh at the bar he was consid-ereil to be a very promising young man, albeit somewhat wild. But he appar -ently became very steady in his habits af ter he became intimate with dignified and venerable J u d g e K.

One day. when the distinguished J u d g e had'sett led into the conviction thai J . 1'. had left oft' all of his wild ways, he, on suddenly entering a room where some of the young lawyers were supposed to bo studying up law points, came face to face with a game of poker just as the promising J . 1'. was in the act -jf rak ing in Ihe stakes. The sedate J u d g e slopped aghast and instinctively throwing up his hands exclaimed in his ponderously solemn tone:

"1 am profoundly astonished, Mr. P . ! What folly!"

J . P . promptly responded: "1 don't wonder tha t you are struck.

I t astonished everybody that sees it that they should "ca l l " me on three quoens when 1 had four aces and a king in my sleeve. I t was folly!"

A Won-'crful Salt Vein. A very curious thing is a salt quarry

discovered in Wyoming county, south of Kochcster. New Vork, near (iaines-ville. They were boring for oil, and struck a ledge twelve feet thick of pure crystal salt. Il !>• in the ground like a g igant ic cake o f i ce , andean bo taken out MI clear and t ransparent tha t you can sec through the cakes aa if they were pure glass. It will be much cheap-er to quarry out ibis salt and grind it up, than il is to boil down the Syracuse, Saginaw, or Turk ' s Island stilt. Tho mine is a source of inlinite wealth lo Wyoming county, and one of the goo-logical curiosilies ol the world.

Ho Surprised His Father. A Connecticut man is never happy

unless he is inventing something. Even tho children have a fancy for the busi-ness. Last summer a Conneclicut farm-er 's boy visited Barnum's circus and saw the catapult , ll suggested to him a t ramp-bouncer to be set under a man 's door-step, and he at once went to work to build one. As he wanted to surprise his father, ho kept the mat ter a secret, and worked like a beaver up in the hay-loft of the great barn, building the ma-chine. Finally he got it done. It was a magnificent machine, worked by a spring capable of throwing one hundred and fifty pounds a distance of thirty feet. This machine he buried in the hay until he should be ready to test it.

Something possessed his fa ther 's hired man to go up on that hayloft the next day, and ho eontrived to gel r ight on the foot-board of the machine, and was s lung whirling across tho barn into a half-filled bay of hay on the oppositu side. Alighting on the bay saved him from serious in jury, but not from sur-prise. He didn ' t expect any such ex-perience, and was not at all pleasod with it. Neither did he understand it; and as livo hundred dollars wouldn ' t havo induced him to go on that hayloft again, he did not find out what threv.' him; and fear of ridicule prevented his mentioning it.

T h a t night two t r amps tried to sleep in that hayloft, and gave il up as a bad job, af ter a sad experience. They had crawled into the hay. and wore gett ing themselves fixed, when one got afoul of the machine, and iinmcdiatcly his com-panion heard a whiz, a wild yell, and then calls for help f rom the other side of the barn. He arose to go to his com-panion, and got there quicker than he expectcd. l ie found his friend very cu-rious to know what tossed him, and somewhat scared. The way those t r amps Hod from tha t barn was a cau-tion.

The next day. when all the folks were away on a visit, the lad got the machine down and set it under the front door-step. Temporari ly, he at tached the wire tha t set it going to tho door-bell. When tho folks returned they all stood on tho door-step, and the old man rang to be lot in. Will; so much weight the ma-chine couldn't throw 'em far. but it rose up enough lo dump 'cm. Tho old man was the first to get up. He sprang onco more on the stop and r a n g violently.— He wasn ' t a very big man, and it did seem as though the Lord had put that big snow-drift there, forty feet away, just on purpose to catch him. They got him out, and, filled with terror, went in the back way. There they told the story, and the boy explained, and tho old man ran him out and stood him on the machine six times, and ho bulled that snow-drift all to pioccs. He will not patent tho machinc, believing that it is too cruel a th ing fo r these enlight-ened days.

A Oat's Gratitude. One day last summer, as wo wore

r iding through the broad avenues of California 's most famous seaside resort, wo noticed a costly statue in tho ya rd of the handsomest collage, i t repre-sented a cat rubbing herself against tho body of a prostrate man. Our driver told us the following story as to the oc-casion of tho s ta tue:

"Years ago, when there were but a few settlers in California, a linnter seek-ing for game came upon a cat caught in the underbrush of a thicket and cry-ing with pain and hunger. The poor creature was so wasted that the bones almost pierced the skin in places. The hunter rescued her, fed her with food f rom his game-bag and carried her to his cabin, as cats were scarce. T h a t night he went early to bed, leaving 'puss' asleep on a pile of shavings. To his g rea t surprise he found that Ihe cat had escaped through the window of the cab-in. Several years passed, and the hunt-er had almost forgotten about the cat. One day. as he was climbing a tree for lodged game, he fell to the ground and fractured his ankle. For two days ho lay on Ihe ground in despair, hungry, and sull'ering. Toward Ihe close of tho second day lie heard the mewing of a cat, which, al his calling, came lo him. ami he recognized her as the one he had saved from tho thicket. After rubbing and purring about him for awhile, pus-sy. who seemed to take in the situation, scampered away. A few hours later she returned accompanied by a bent old man, talking to the cat as she ran on be-fore. The hunter told his story, and the aged man, lifting him up. assisted him lo the hun te r ' s cabin. Then this unknown benefactor, whose face was almost hidden beneath his long and shaggy beard, went back into the forest. The cat that had saved the hunter ' s life followed her s t range master, who told neither his name nor his abode. The man who lives in this cottage is the old hunter. Becoming rich in the t ime of the discovery of gold, he has erected this monumenl in honor of the ca t tha t saved his l i fe ."—t' . O. IF. in Youlh's Cuiiijittniun.

Oaro of Sheep. Tho carc of even a small llock of

sheep throughout the year , tc have them always profitable, is a s tudy that any man who a l templs lo raise sheep at all should give his attention, says tho correspondent of the Chicago National Live-Stock Journal.

I t is not enough, as very many men do, who have a laudable desire lo im-prove their sheep, as well as other slock, to make purchases of something exceedingly good, at round prices, and then br ing the animals home to be treated with neglect. Such a farmer will find, in a few years, perhaps it may lako only a few months, to convince him, lo his own satisfaction, at least, that tiiis fine stock is all a humbug, and that, in making the purchase, he was badly swindled. If thai man. however, gets any oft'spriug from these improved rams, or other stock, and il i-' evenltial-Iv sold in marketable condition, the couviucing proof in the end will be, that the good iilood has had its eft'ect.

One of the best inlluences tha t the in-troduction'of line stock on the farm has is, tha i it brings with il usually better care and improved melhodsof handling. This is particularly so of dicep. because there is no other kind of slock that re-sponds so quickly lo the best of care, or in which there are heavier losses, pro-portionalely where the llock neglected.

Oookiug Ooru. Green corn is half ruined if vou cut it

f rom the cob. The process of nlfmeh-ing an ear of c o m is not a very faseinal-

; ing one for the lookers on, but there is no excuse for ever looking at another

j while ho is eating. To ge t the full | worth of the corn you must cat it direct j f rom tho cob. After Ihe plain boiled ! ear. the best preparation of corn is as a j f r i t ter . _
