Tim scarcity of fresh and striking events
during the past week is not considered a
bad’sign in the trade review. Production
ami distribution h ive gone on so quietly
that the enormous magnitude of trans-actions
is not by all appreciated, nor is
attention fixed by startling changes for
belter or worse. But evidence abounds
of the unusual volume of business.
Bunk exchanges throughout the country j
and traffic returns bear testimony as to i
distribution, while agricultural and man-ufacturing
statistics show that produc-tion
lias hardly ever been greater.

A BIG FEDERATION.
ALLTHE MINERS AND MINE LABORERS
OF THE COUNTY UNDER ONE HEAD-OvtallM
of tin- National Scluine n« Sug.
KrNtt-tl l>y Mr. Ifallry, Who will be Mau-ler
Workman of the Organization.
William II. Bailey, a member of the
General Executive Committee of tbe
Knights of l.abor, who lias laid out a
scheme for the general reorganization of
the miners of tlie United States into one
body, as published some months sinee,
has issued another circular, giving addi-tional
de ails of bis plan. The plan
meets the endorsement of Mr. I’owderly.
fourteen States and five Territories are
now embraced in the organization, and
future developments mayextend its scope
still further. All the mining sections of
this State, both of anthracite anil bitu-minous
coal, have been thoroughly,
though quietly, canvassed within the
past three months, except the coke re-gion,
and the men in this locality, it is
said, will be organized during (lie com-ing
week. The bituminous coal fields of
Cumberland, Pocahontas and Elk Gar-den,
in Maryland and West Virginia,
should be obliged to go before the grand j have been secretly visited by special
jury and satisfy that, body that lie has I committees within the past ten days, and
probable cause for instituting Ids action.
I f the complainant failed to get a verdict in
ills or Iter favor, lie would punisli him
for his bad luck with a light tine and a
few days’ imprisonment, and under (lie
circumstances would not permit the
party to marry again unless they marry
each oilier. The Silver-Tongued Orator
of Jacob's Creek seems to be somewhat
of a hustler.
SOCI ALISTIC as well as social circles have
been stirred to tiie depths over the an-nouncement
that Miss Nina Clarke Van
Zandt, a young and pretty Chicagonean
heiress, would to-day give Iter hand in
marriage to August Spies,the chief of the
seven condemned Anarchists. The
young lady’s father lias continued the
truth of the report and said that his
daughter had his consent to the union.
The only thing that stands in the way
of the happy consummation is the re-fusal
of the clerk to grant the marriage
license, that official claiming the fact
that Spies is convicted of a felony should
bar a marriage. As Miss Van Zandt is a
graduate of Vassar College, the excessive
use of chewing gum may have effected
the poor girl’s mind.

the work of organization there is said to
he nearly completed. The aggregated
membership is now estimated at 100,000
men. Divisions one to live embrace all
the Pennsylvania mines. They have
already been formed. Thirteen divis-ions
in all have been formed. These di-visions
will all lie subordinate to District
Assembly No. E15. They will he offi-cered
and governed after the manner of
local assemblies of the Kniglitsof Eahor.
In most cases (lie divisions include many
local assemblies.
The followilig divisions will he loca-ted

the miners in the bituminous
regions of Sullivan, Bradford, Tioga, Ly-coming,
Clinton, Cambria, Elk, McKean,
Mercer and Butler counties, of Pennsyl-vania
and all the low-grade divisions of
Pennsylvania. No. -I, not yet organized,
will include all the coke miners of this
region and other coke regions of Penn-sylvania.
No. 5, embraced the miners
of bituminous coal along the Mononga-liela,
Youghioglieny, Kanawa and Ohio
rivers as far down as tlie mouth of the
Kanawa. No. li, embraces the miners
of bituminous coal in the whole of Ohio
and all of that portion of Western Penn-sylvania
shipping coal westward by rail.
The divisions number westward until
No. E! is readied which, when formed,
will embrace tlie coal miners of Montana
and Washington Teriitories.
Mr. Bailey, who is to lie the Master
Workman of Hie organization, says by
way of explanation: ‘‘This is simply a
gathering together for the first time un-der

Tltt- Mai Ion Lost.
In accordance with Die call issued by
John Costello for the formation of sub-district
No. 4 ofthe Xationaljdistrict 136,
the miners belonging to the K. of E. met
at Scottdale Wednesday. There were
thirty-seven delegates present. A mo-tion
that the coke workers go into BUI>-

move. Custello was sent to.Scottdale by
the general officers of the K. of to

A Veteran Kititor Injured.
Saturday about noon, John M. Laird
Esq., the veteran editor of the Groetis-burg
Argus, fell in Die yard of his son,
Captain James M. Eaird, and sustained
his constituents, lie declared that he
wa8a man who favored prayer on gen-eral
principles, and plenty of it, and that
he considered the resolution highly im-properjhimself.
lie then began a dis-course
upon the evils of the intemperate
use of wine, with a touch on the divine
invitation to moderate use. Some mem-bers
laughed, some coughed, a few hissed
and others went out. Speaker Boyer
called the gentleman to order, and in-formed
iiim that a question of privilege
did not entitle him to the deliverance of
a speech. Callaghan insisted that he
was coming to the point, and with a
slight tremor in his voice he soared out
in oratory again. Being a second time
called to order by the Chair, he became
more confused, but finally reached the
peroration of his effort by declariug that
liis anti-prayer resolution was as reason-able
as a resolution to submit to tliepeo-ple
an amendment to the constitution to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors, liis own resolution
might he damnable, but the other was
equally so.
This conclusion was received with
groans, laughter and hisses, and a cas-ual
observer of the members on both
sides might have been - impressed with
Die idea that the House had been in ses-sion
all night without refreshments, so
weary did the members appear. The
rest of the session was without incident,
and the opinions expressed since are to
the effect that Cailuglian made a bad
matter woise, or that lie eased up on the
condemnation previously heaped upon
him by exposing himself to ridic ile.
East Huntingdon Soldiers Moiiuinsnt.
An association has been formed by the
soldiers and citizons of East Huntingdon

TALK AROUND TOWN.
Wlint Our IJOIIIIKIIIK Mini Hears tVlillr
nu Ills Tours.
Fires, ns n rule, present amusing scenes
and incidents, and the one at the gas
house Die other evening was no excep-tion.
I don’t know what was Die ar-rangement
of the fire department on
starting, hut when it arrived in the East
End I noticed Adjutant Loar peri lled on i
tiie hook and ladder truck while Uolonel '
Elder, with the trumpet, had just struck ;
tiie head of tiie plank walk, too much |
out of breath when lie finally tcached
tiie scene to make any use of Die instru-1
ment. 'This didn’t make any difference,
however, for tiie half dozen or more
chiefs of Die department, who had the
burning building surrounded, dialled
out the orders in tones that would have
made a fog horn feel tired. As no two
saw tiie flames from tiie same standpoint,
Die orders issued were somewhat conflict-ing
as well as confusing to tiie firemen,
who were tints compelled to many chan-ges
ofthe hose line. Alderman Shupe, of
the third ward, was calmly watching the
work of destruction within the building
and wondering how big the assessment
to pay damages would be when one of
thesesudden changes of front was made.
Tiie exclamations Oliver Cromwell Per-ry
Hnzzurd made when the nozzle was
turned square on him and several bar-rels
of ice water had run down liis back
were very forcible expressions to say
the least. Mt. Pleasant lias good ma-terial
for a fire department Imt it is sadly
in need of organization at present..
One chief lias always been found to he
sufficient.

I can appreciate tiie convenience of
gas light now that there is none. Of
course we consumers must grumble at
the size of bills Die company presents at
the end of each month but then that’s
our privilege. I know of others who
wish as I do that we had hills to find
fault with this month. I expect tiie
company will have to buy Dr. Iteisinger
a new hat before lie will again become a
consumer, for tiie stoppage of Die gas
supply was tiie indirect cause of liis
losing a chapeau tiie other day. The
lamp that he bought was one of those
great big fellows that require some tiling
less than a barrel of oil for an evening's
consumption, lie fired it up and placed
tlielightonatableby tiie wall where,sev-eral
feet above, hung liis sealskin cap.
Returning to the room after a few min-utes'
absence, there was nothing left of
tiie cap except Die nail upon w hich it
had hung, and even this was red hot.
Tins modest follower of Aesculapius now
swears that lie won't burn gas unless tiie
contpaup will take Die price of Die cap
for tiie first month’s hill.
* * *
It is no wonder that we have so many
old hacheJorR if the experience a young
friend of mine met with tiie other eve-ning
is at nil common. ile had driven
out in a buggy that was not at Die
hitching post where lie had left it when
lie started to come home. A limit of
several hours resulted in finding the
vehicle in a neighboring woods, pieces
of tiie harness on different thorn bushes
while the horse, with the blanket wrap-ped
about his head, was discovered about
a mile further on. While my friend
was making tiie very necessary repairs
to the rig, an old farmer, mistaking him
for a chicken thief, opened fire witli an
old army musket, Fortunately Hie old
gentleman’s aim was poor and my
friend escaped injury, but lie
returned home completely Tucker-ed
out and has yowed to high heaven to
remain single for the balance of his
days upon Die earth.

This is about tiie season of tiie year
that tiie genial,whole sou led Stonerville
farmer, J. L, I,clicks, is expected to fur
nish liis annual item by narrowly escap-ing
an accident of some kind on Die
Southwest road. But Lyman hasn't
crossed tiie track lately when approach-ing
trains have passed either llawkeye
or Tart’s. This great care, which lie lias
been exercising lately, is doubtless due
to the prominent part lie intends taking
in a marriage ceremony, on Thursday
evening next, at Barkeyviile, Venango
county. For, at eight o’clock, in tiie
Church of God Bethel, lie w ill take Miss
Sadie J. Hunsberger by tiie hand and
make tiie usual promises of good behav-ior
and square treatment of that lady for
tbe balance of his days. I extend my
most hearty congratulations to Lyman
on this wise step he isabout to take and
wish him and his young bride very nr any
years of married bliss.

For many weeks before the holidays
Dick Eicher had liis turkey penned up
to fatten and food a plenty was provid-ed
for tiie fowl, but it didn’t take on fat

Christmas came Die turkey was so poor

teadily weigh one pound under favora-ble
circumstances. to the northern
Stales they grow in the summer season;
iiibrennte by giing into their
winter quarters in December and re-maining
in a dormant state until early
spring. In the soul hern States they at-tain
a larger size, growing tiie whole
year, while it takes two years in tiie
northern States to make one year’s
growth in tiie south. The scale carp are
Die more desirable, having better edible
qualities. Tiie mirror carp are partly
covered with scales and come in second
best, while tiie leather carp have no
scales and are not so highly spoken of
| among epicures, yet all are said to pos-
| sess good table qualities when properly
prepared, and are said to be best from
fall to spring. No fish are considered
good during Die spawning season.
They thrive in almost any kind of
water, but naturally they belong to a
warm climate, in which they thrive best,
but endure cold when they have enough
water to keep them from freezing by
burying themselves in the mud. They
are said to be omnivorous, but will live
on vegetables and thrive, but will eat
almost any food given them, bread,
scraps from Die table, boiled potatoes,
chopped grain, corn, oats, Ac., made
into cakes or paste baked enough to
stick together when put into the water;
they eat readily anything a pig will eat,
and grow very large. They are said to
weigh as high as ninety pounds, retain-ing
their edible qualities, they being
the only fish that do when so large. A
five pound carp when dressed will lose
about one pound, and when they attain
Hint size, which they will do in three or
four years, have few small bones. In
Europe thero are thousands of acres cov-ered
with carp ponds, producing large
quantities offish. When the Fish Com -
missioners of the United States learned
of the many good qualities of Die carp
they considered they had gained a great
prize. FARMER.

DO STRIKES PAY 7
l,0Vel-headed business men generally
want to take an account of stock at least
once a year and get out a balance sheet,
in order lo know whether the business
policy pursued during the year lias been
a success or not. If flic hundreds of
thousands of employees wlio have gone
voluntarily, or been coerced hy their ag-gressive
companions, Into labor strikes
during tlie year 1^8*1 were to adopt the
same sensible method the results would
astonish them. Tlrtuhlrrct's lias recently
published a statement showing that not
less than 150,000 employes wore engaged
In strikes and lock-outs in this country
during the year just closed, the suspen-sions
varying in length from a few days
to the entire year.
To people who have been led to sup-pose
that periods of business depression
were most prolific in strikes these figures
will seem surprising, lint it must be rc-memliercd
that in no period in the conn-try’s
history has the organization of labor
proceeded at so rapid a rate ns during the
past year. Naturally I lie members of the
new labor organizations wanted to try
conclusions witli somebody for the pur-pose
of determining whcthcr.a labor mil-lennium
eon Id lie inaugurated hy labor
combination. In consequence while work
was more plentiful and wages better than
for several years past, there were strikes
for good cause and strikes without cause,
strikes for higher w ages and strikes for
shorter hours, strikes to compel the re-instatement
of dismissed workmen and
strikes to secure the discharge of non-union
workmen—in short, the roll of
strikers never was so great in any one
year of the country’s history.
But what has this exceptional period of
latior suspensions brought to those en-gaging
in them ? Judged by the cold
figures, very little but loss and failure.
An analysis of the HmtlstrcH tables shows
that 374,-tOO employes were engaged in
fifty-nine great strikes or suspensions,
lasting one week or more, the average
idleness of the entire summer being four
weeks or upwards. Assuming that each
idle laborer could have earned nine dol-lars
per week, Hie total loss in wages to
this vast army of employes was thirteen
and a half millions of dollars. What w as
gained when so much was lost? Thirty-seven
out of the fifty-nine strikes enu-merated
proved total failures, the men
going back to work at the same wages
and under precisely the same conditions
against which they had struck. The suc-cess
of ttie May strikes for short hours
proyed only temporary, ttie ten-hour
system having been generally restored
within six months. This leaves the num-ber
ofcompromised and successful strikes
so small that it is entirely safe to say that
all tlie advance in wages secured for the
year by the entire 374,400 amount to less
than one of the more than thirteen mil-lions
of dollars lost hy their voluntary
idleness.
It is doubtless true that the unsuccess-ful
strikers can rightfully lay claim to
the only consolation of the old Confed •
erate soldier who declared that if
he was defeated he had killed as
many of the Yankees as they had killed
of him. The loss loemployeis hy strikes

With such achievements to boast, of it

the interstate Commerce bill, llis
knowledge and experience as a manager
of railroads give to Ids observations great
pertinency. It is the difference between
practice and theory.
The main objection made to the meas-ure
relates to those provisions which re-quire
that the companies shall "transport
freight for short distances at substan-tially
the same rate per mile as is charg-ed
for long distances.
We had this question up in New York
in 1850. Bills had been introduced into
the Legislature which were known as
pro rata bills. They prescribed that all
commodities should be taken at uniform
rates permile, whether tlie distance was
small or great.
It did not take much argument to dis-pose
of the matter then. The public
readily understood that a ton of freight
could not be transported at as cheap a
rate tier mile when carried one hundred
miles as when carried a thousand.
The short distance freight requires tlie
same labor for tlie loading and unload
ing as tlie long distance freight, to say
nothing of other considerations.
We cannot understand why a measure
intended to regulate Interstate com-merce
should he limited to the com-merce
carried on by tlie railways. Why
are its provisions not extended to the
lakes and rivers ? A cargo of grain can
be taken by vessel from Chicago to BuHa-lo
more cheaply than from Chicago to
Detroit, because at Buffalo a return car-go
can be found, while none can be ob-tained
in Detroit, lint if tlie Congress
is determined to remedy tlie injustice to
the citizen which grows out of the ad-vantages
that certain communities enjoy
over others, why not make the law gen-cral
in its operations?
It is an absurd tiling to try and frame
a cast-iron law to govern tlie movements
of commerce. The town into which
several railroads run " ill have certain
advantages ovci the town which Inis hut
one line. \\ by dues not t'oligi'ess pass a
law that all towns shall have the same
niiinlier of railroad connections, say half
a dozen to each place? And Hum Cong-ress
ought also to provide that In oveiy
city on a lake or river a fixed iiinnlicr of
steamboats should call every day. That
Would make the whole liiinlliess perfect-ly
fair ami remove all eiiminerchil Injus-tice
from Ihe face of the land.—.V, 5 .

THE GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD
'The cfi’orli Of Senator < ’ameroii lo sc
erne l lie ercclion of a Nalioua! monu -
ment on the field of HcMvalnirg "ill lie
highly appreciated by every Colon vet-eran
in the land, and should receive Ihe
warm support of citizens of all classes.
’The < iuvcriimcnt has already made large
appropriations for surveys, landmarks,
and other purposes, and lo render these
of periuuiient value and Interest lo tlie
Nation It is desirable that the entire
properly should pass under the control
of the I idled States, The Interest
which the various stales and individual
associations, both civic and mil It ary |
have taken lo this historic ground, he
speak the universal desire lo have il
properly embellished and eared for as an
enduring monument ef the valor of the
Amerieaii soldiery and the heroin sue
rillces made in defense u| i he I ’ niun.
Il Is gratifying to kumv I lint all Ihe
Slates of the North except three have
already made provisions for marking the
position of tlielr respective troops in Hie
three days’ struggle, and that these
States will have that nintlcr before I hem
during the ensuing sessions. New York
and I’ennsylvanla will also he ealled on
to take additional legislative action, and
these great ('onilnonwealths may he de
pended on lo make such appropriations
as are necessary In the premises.
In a military point of there is no more
instructive or Interesting study than Hie
field of (iellyslnirg, anil il is I lie natural
heritage of the whole country. The
series of struggles which here look
place between the I’nlon and Confeder-iitifnrndes
formed one of the decisive hat
ties of the war. Its close marked the
end of aggressive warfare on the part of
the rebel chieftains, and, in connection
with tin surrender ol Vicksburg, is gen-erally
accepted asllie turning point in
the great civil war. Every consider-ation
of pride anil patriotism demand
that this spot lie held snored lo the
memory ol those whose indomitable
courage turned hack the tide of Invasion
anil opened the way for those subse-quent
achievements which placed the
American Union upon a permanent and
enduring basis.— Pittnhurg flam. Iht :.
PRACTICE VS. PROFESSION.
The last meeting of tlie Socialist Labor
party in New York furnished n complete
corroboration to the stories about the
hill of expenses rendered by the Aveling
reformers and explained how profes-sional
advocates of that class can alibi'd
to lie superior to the temptations of
wealth. The hills of the English mis-sionaries
for the benefit of the poor con-tained
such Items as “$.'11 for cigars for
Dr. Aveling and a smaller amount for
eigaretts for Mrs. \vellng,” $100 for
theater tickets,” “wine and hoard $12,”
$25 for corsage bouquets, while tile total
expenses for their trip fora few weeks
amounted to ns inucli as would Imve ta-ken
a dozen people over Ihe same ground.
Naturally the hills created a good deal
of astonishment among the poor Social-ists.
The Idea Dial the people who come
to this country to preach against, a sys- j
tem which permits luxury while the
poor are starving, should spend sums for
cigars, theater tickets mid corsage bou-quets
which would keep a family, of tlie
class they ehtlin to represent, in comfort
for six months, is a very remarkable
practical commentary upon tlielr preach
iog. Socialism which tlie Aveliogs rep-resent
seems to lie of a very comfortable
sort for themselves, hut (lie rank and file
"ho have lo pay for tiieir wine and
cigars may lie pardoned for doubting
whether the Aveliogs are very eh
better than the capitalists who at least
pay the workingmen wages instead o ,■
using the funds of tlie latter for luxuries.
The hills which the Avelmgs have left
behind ilium will do more to undo their
teachings than reams of argument could
efieet.—Pittubnrri l/itpatrli.
SHIPPING COAL TO ENCLAND.
Due of the most important nnnounbe-ments
made in this country for many
years is the statement that an English
company lias purchased a large property
in Kentucky that coutaius caunel coal
ami is now mining and shipping coal to
England with profit. It i< n startling
announcement, for it is the beginning of
a far reaching revolution In one of tlie
mo3t important industrial products of
tiie United States.
For the present the export of coal is
confined to our best and most lavoraldy
located caunel roal, but it is tlie liegiu-nii
g of a revolution that will extend to
tlie general coal trade of the country
If the signs of tlie times are not wholly
delusive, tlie next decade will see the
great coal basins of Alabama and 'Ten-nessee,
which are among tlie best in the
world, in successful competition with
England m the Central and South
American States, and it is not improb-able
that tlie New England factories will
soon find Alabama coal with Alabama
iron competing with the most favored
Northern mines and furnaces.
The improvement of tlie wonderful
natural highways of trade which reach
tlie Alabama and Tennessee coal fields,
is only a question of a very few years;
and when their- easily mined coal can
have water transportation from the
mines to every part'of the country and
the world, it is idle to close our eyes to
the fact that botli England and the North
will keenly feel the progress of the new
South.

Why should the lalini ihg; Irion of this
country continue lo pone millions of
dollars every yeiir Into Ihe hips of Ihe
l./y Hiiloon keepers of ihe hind? Tlml
is (lie I'HHI question which I he luhoiin^
men lire culled upon lo solve. I'iltshnni
hiflh I.
WU|: K A MONO MINI.I(S IN OHIO,
Ulen I toy ! shouted Ihe hrukeimtn, find
I ^nispcd m.y brown Irnveliiitf ha# uml
my nnihrelhi uml followed (lie crowd
onl of ilie cur. The wenlher WHS hud.
A drizzling ruin, swept nlniig hy j'H-ls
of wind which uiiide tin nnihrcllii u (pies
liomilde j'ood, gray clouds, roads of coal
slack, mid paths of silcky cliiy all that
was not as pleasant I>H mi**III have been
wished. Kill somehow lliere was son
rdilnc wiiliin, ami when ihe snperinten
deni nt Ihe mines, met me wil li a hearty
hand shake, saying, “Why, I hardly
ilinnglii yon would come out in such
weather,” I was aide to answer him just
as cheerily as though ihe son was shin-ing
and the walking dry.
While we were I nidging along, my
guide (old me of (lie condition ol the
village. “Il is just, awful Imw ihe
miners, a great many of them llirow
aw ay Ilieir money. Il would make n
stone weep |o see llio desolate shanties,
tIM* barefoot children- nothing hot rags
and dirl ; and Ihe men loilii.g under
ground, and then, when tho llfieeiilli of |
the month pay day comes, the saloons
three or four of llicin in one village -are
loll, and (lie barkeeper lakes Die money
I lull, ought lo go lur groceries, for shoes
or clothing. And tlie women, many of
them so degraded.”
We at last cfinie lo Ihe school house.
In spite of ihe had weather and difficult
climbing, the house was full, from the
floor lo ihe platform, about one hundred
and IIfly people, anil perhaps one third
of them young men, were present.
There were miners Mid their w ives and
even a number of children. Looking
into the faces of the people near soallen-
Iivo mid sympathetic, how the subject
opened. I do not know how long I
spoke, hut after that u pledge was sub-mitted
and signed bv thirty three per-sons,
ten of whom were heavy drinkers.
Then we knelt, and I committed those I
who had signed the pledge to the special I
euro of Dod. Singing and benediction
followed, and then we went out into the
darkness and tin1 storm, a cross the
creek and through the mud.
The miners arc on a strike, and it is
hard on Ihe men. 'There are among
them some very line, intelligent families,
who save Ilieir money and have pleasant
homes, organs and libraries. They are
working for local option, catching like
drowning men at the one feature of the
Dow Law which makes it possible for
them to drive the saloon just across the
corporation line, Hilt in unincorporated
districts like (Jlen K >y, this law gives no
hope of escape. It made me think of
the pedigree of tin* Dow law given some
time ago in the Ihaeon: ‘'The Dow
law—which is a child of the Scott Law—
w hich is a child of the Bond Law—
w hich is a child of the saloon winch is
of tin* l>evil.” Mus. EMMA DIIUNAI i:a.
Nat. Supt. Work among Miner*.
11 la now reported from Ohio dial a
lax is to tie levied of1 $27 on all tralti kera
in intoxicating liquors the S ate li nances
being in a deplorable condition , and Ihe.
Dow law affording no relief as the taxes
all go to the counties. A State tax of
$.T>, it is argued would bring in nearly
enough to complete the Intermediate
Penitentiary now being built at Mans-field.
'This would certainty he an ap-propriate
application of the funds so ob-tained,
and HH another building of tlie
kind would soon be needed, an additional
$2o might be levied, and so on, till after
awhile, all the real estate of the country
might come to consist of Penitentiaries,
and the entire earnings of the people, in
tills way, be safely invested. 'The new
“temperance measure” proposed in this
state is in the same happy direction.
The Hill for improved Scientific 'Tem-perance
Instruction in the Legislature, of
Ve.mont was wrested from the very
jaw s of defeat by the superhuman efforts
of Mrs. Hunt, and lias become a law.
She had spoken in its favor before both
Houses in Representatives’ Hall, and the
bill was passed hy tlie Senate unani-mously,
but in the lower House, all tlie
powers of evil seemed arrayed against it
Its advocates were in despair. 'They
said to the women, “(Jo home, appeal to
the people, and come back in two years.”
Rut they answered “No: tlie price of
souls is in this bill; it must be made a
law now.” Finally it was passed and
vetoed, ( rushed, but not hopeless, Mrs.
Hunt went from her closec where she
had prayed; “Riot me out, (> Lord, if
need be, but save the children of this
generation,” and in the last session of
the Legislature hail a new hill intro-duced,
which in the concluding hours
of the session, was passed and signed by
the Governor.
But her whole prayer was answered
with a dread precision she did not ex-pect,
for almost while tlie words of
thanksgiving were on her lips, she was
ealled from her work to a darkened
home, by the sudden death of her hus-band.
No true servant of God can be
blotted from the book of His remem-brance,
but the fair leaves on which wc
writev our earthly blessings are some-times
sadly blurred, and the record
made illegible.
“The Lord bless her, and keep her;
'The Lord lift IIis countenance upon
her and give her peace.”

linthei'foid and l.ucy liV« in itch on goats’
milk and the cheese an;', hotter that arc
made front it. Hast fall, when nuts were
ripe, Hutlicrford thenght from thelhivnr
of the hotter that the goats had Itettn
feeding on tints. \ short investigation
showed him that they had been browsing
on the advertisements of a negro min-strel
company, and so had been living
on the chestnuts of the contemporary
stage.
Itnlherford is quite gray, and is a plain,
simple mall who laughs and talks with
11is neighbors, lie has forty acres, Id-goals
and his chickens, and lives as hap-pily
as an Arab In ills tent. Every year
lie invites the “upper class” of Kreniontt
by which is meant the local shop-keep-ers,
millers, usurers and ling packers,
out to Ids farm, and these have a picnic
under the drees and drink goats’ milk
and mifermelitcd sweet .vine. It. Is a
great occasion for the village small fry,
who gather In the number of .700 or 000
to shake hands with a fellow who lias
been I'resident. The villagers exchange
awkward compliments under the trees
and fall oyer the furniture mid have a
good time.
IlmlieiTord has a coachman w ith a blue
eoat and brass buttons and a high hat,
caught up at tiie side. This coachman is
a sansculotte in respect to his uniform,
for while his coat and vest and hat go
together he wears Itntherford’s cast-off
trousers. Ills coat is a concession to
tliinkeylsm, and Hutherford’s trousers
are a concession to democracy. I’nlhrr-foril
lias a llsli horn, by blowing a blast
on w hich lie calls the coachman. When-ever
lliitlierford wants the coachman to
hitch up the horses lie goes to the second-story
window ol Ills house, pops out his
head and blows the horn, which is about
throe feet long. The cyclones which
devastate Ohio are popularly attributed
to tliis lisli horn.
I.ucy is getting fat. She used to lie a
Hockeys belle, with checks like red ap-ples
and eyes like sloe berries. She went
from the larm house to the \\ bite House,
and drank catnip tea all the way. She is
a charitable and kindly woman, and, as
a shining example in the prohibition
movement, Is considered to lie wm-tli a
hundred KraneiR Murphys, liutherford
himself was once a lively swain at the
country husking I and apple parings,
where he llrst met I.ucy, hut care on ac
count of Ids chickens has turned his
iiair white. Hoth Rutherford and l.ney'
are liked by all their neighbors been use
they came hack from the White House
nml fed their chickens and walked on the
common ground, and breathed the com-mon
air, nml did lint go around stubbing
their toes against the stars.
When the sun is rising over I'remont,
nnd the dew is on the grass in Ohio, Ru-therford
may often he teen with a little
pan of grain, feeding Ids chickens. In
the gray dawn the chickens gather under
his window, and wait for the ex 1’resi-dent
to rise, as the courtiers of lands
MV, gathered at the royal chamber.
The chickens follow Rutherford around
when he walks through his llehls, and
Inspect Ills farm with him. He takes
them to poultry shows, and what with
two or three coops of chickens and three
or four pumpkins, the Ilaycs exhibit
makes a large part of many country
fairs. Often the chickens come back to
the little Hayes farm gay with ribbons
and crowing with victory. And the
pumpkins, they come hack wearing blue
ribbons, but all their gladness is sw iftly
changed into pies. Some of the chickens
“soldier” on the cx-ITesident, hut most
of them lay with commendable industry
and regularity, so that lliitlierford gets
on an average of fully forty eggs a day.
As there is no such thing as nnlermented
eggnog, eggnog never crosses the Hayes
threshold, and Rutherford may not use
all his eggs. So lie sells enough to keep
the Cldckens in boncJust and gravid.
Rutherford has a little list of funny an-ecdotes,
a little golden treasury of puns,
a regular sinking fund of humor, and a
light armory of w it that has never rusted
for lack of use. To people not familiar
with tiie older almanacs his lighter con-versation
is entertaining and pleasing,
Rutherford delights to tell funny stories
to his neighbors, and often pauses beside
itis chicken coop to relate some “chest-nut”
that he read by a pine knot in a
hitters almanac In 1817. Of course, the
joke seems crisp, for evernbody else who
survived the first edition of the almanac
is dead. And so it happens that Ruther-ford’s
reputations as a humorist equals
his reputation as a poulterer, and many
of ids rustic admirers regret that lie ever
went into politics, and womleriugly be-lieve
that if lie had not been elected
i’resident he would be a second Bill Xye.
Thus passes the declining days of the
nineteenth I’resident. He once ruled
(50,000,000 people; lie now rules sixty
chickens. Loved by his chickens, his
goats and Ids neighbors, Hayes nourishes,
rather than loiters toward liis tomb, in
the fat land of Ohio—the greatest states-man
ponltcr, the only Buckeye ('inctn-natns!

NORTH DAKOTA.
'I li> Uu li li.ninl. To tit Found In
Thai Territory.
For sometime \vc have been travelling
through North Dakota, and our journey
has been through a country more or less
woll settled. Hereafter it will he in a
•octimi where settlement is spam* and
yet to come under subjection to man.
From Devil's Lake, the St. Paul, Min-neapolis
\ Manitoba railroad, just built,
strikes almost directly westward through
the center of the Devil's Lake land dis-trict
and west of Church's Ferry, public
land, open for entry, comes up to the
Hack on both sides ol the line. We
successively pass three side tracks,
Leeds, York and Knox, at present towns
but in name. These points, with the
settlement which Is sure to come, now
that the railroad has mads the country
icccssible. must lie more or less impor
taut points, and present good openings
for business. W« are now in the domain
of the tar-papered shanty and sod
shack—unfailing indications of recent
settlement.
After coursing for miles over a rather
open country, most excellently adapted
iocultivation; the track leads us into a
range ol hills. Here we have our lirst
sight of antelope, w hich, startled by the
noise of the train, skurry oil’ at a rate
w hich gives us good opinion of their
running ability. The conductor tells us
that lieids are seen here nearly every
irip. Bapidly gliding along over a good
road-bed, Broken Bon** Lake soon comes
into sight. Here is a fine body of timber
and spring brooks, never frozen, teed
tiie lake. We are still on tiie black soil
and white clay subsoil, which so far
seems to be the rule in North Dakota.
Here a large area of country, perhaps
seventy-five miles in length and many
miles in width, extends north and south
on both sides of the track, comprising at
least thirty-five townships, which are
almost wholly unoccupied and nearly
all public land, deferring to note book
we find the following notations, taken
from the laud oflice records, as to its
leading features:
“Land generally undulating,occasion-ally
rising into rounded hills; soil, black
loam, i.o sand; a few hornblende scales
in its composition. Fresh water lakes
plenty—often four or live in each town-ship.
Natural bay meadows on nearly
every section.”
Ten miles more and we are at llugby i
.function, the point chosen for the june-1
lion of the Turtle Mountain branch with :
the main line, and a most promising lo-cation
for the enterprising merchant of
small means.
A Very Narrow Kara pc.
“Yes, I had a cry narrow escape,” I
said a prominent citizen to a friend. “I ]
was COIItilled to my bed for a year and
my friends gave ine up for a consump

here I am, sound and hearty.” You will

DISPENSING WITH STOVES.
All Experiment In Ileal Inif Cars In Pro-
KI'fNs on flic P. ft. 15.
A new device for heating passenger
cars is being experimented with on the
| Pennsylvania Railroad, in which the
special object sought is lessening tlie
danger of lire in case of an accident,
t tne of the cars ou tlie Walls accommo-dation
train has been equipped with the
patent which is manufactured by the
Standard Car Heating and Ventilating
Company, of Allegheny. Tlie greater
portion of the heating apparatus is pla-ced
underneath the floor in the centre of
the car. It answers tlie purpose of a
stove, and is so securely shut In that it
; is difficult, if not impossible, for any of
I the burning coals to escape. It is heat-
! ed by hard coal which generates steam
in a boiler that contains 20 gallons ol
| water. Two steam pipes extend along
! each side of tlie car, a branch extending
under each seat. The hot air is also util-ized
and passes through a register in the
floor af the ear. The patent does away
with all odors and ashes in tlie ear. It
is claimed Hint there is no danger of a
lire in cH.se of an accident as tlie burning
coals being on the outside of tlie car
could he easily dropped and extinguish-ed,
and tlie only place that the fire could
issue would be at tlie side and under tlie
car. A ear is similarly equipped on the
Fort Wayne Railroad. A somewhat
similar plan lias been introduced on tlie
A. V. It. R.
