Alfred Goodell, son of James M, and Mrs. Frances Goodell of this city, died on August 4th, at 11:30 oelock in the forenoon.

When the aged, who have lived a life of nsefullness and honor, pass away, we mourn and are sad; although it is a natural and a not unexpected event, But when a young man just entering upon the duties of manhood, full of vig­or, and ambitious for a happy and use-full life, with bright prospoct? o f ob­taining those happy results is suddenly stricken and cut down, we mourn and are doubly sad, and death seems cruel and unnatural. Why our young friend was taken, we cannot fathom The mystery is alone revealed to the All wise Father.

Alfred Goodell was bonf in this city, March 20,1871, where he was brought up, attending our Union School; after leaving school, he commenced the study of Photography in this city, and afterward went to Detroit, and studied under a skillful artist, and gave prom­ise of becoming an adept at his chosen profession.

Alfred was a fine looking young man. bright with quick perceptions, of a kind and genial disposition, and having al­ways lived here, his friends were legion for each of whom, he always had a smile and a kind word.

He was taken ill a little over two weeks ago,with typhoid fever, and all believed him to be improving, so that the announcement of his death, came with a suddeness, as to si ^ek the whole community. His death is sincerely mourned and the broken hearted fam­ily, whose home has been made sad and desolate, have the earnest sympathy of all of our people.

The funeral takes place to-day at the family residence^ at 2:30 o'clock P. M,

TALMAGE'S SERMON.

T h e S t o r y o f R u t h a n d I t s C o m ­fort ing l e s s o n .

How Character 1» Developed, by Trouble and toe Darkest Paths Often End

in Bright Places—The Value of Gleaning.

Rev. T. Be Witt Talraage preached the following sermon at Green Moun­tain Falls, Col.f taking- for his text:

And she went and came anc; gleaned In the field after the reapers; and her hap was to light on a part of tae-field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelecn. —ttuthlr.,3.

Within a few weeks I have been in North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsyl­vania, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Canada, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and they are one great har­vest-field, and no season can be more enchanting in any country than the season of harvest

The time that Ruth and Naomi ar­rive at Bethlehem is harvest-time. It was the custom when a sheaf fell from a load in the harvest-field for the reap­ers to refuse to gather it up; that was to be left for the poor who might hap* pen to come that way. If there were handful* of grain scattered across the field after the main harvest had been reaped, instead of raking it, as farm­ers do now, it was, by the custom of the land, left in its place, so that the poor, coming along that way, might glean it and ge t their bread. But, yon say: "What is the use of all these har­vest-fields to Ruth and Noami? Naomi la too old and feeble to g o out and toil in the sun; and can yon expect that Bnth, the young and the beautiful, should tan her cheeks and blister her hands in the harvest-field."

Boas owns a large farm, and he goes out to see the reapers gather in the grain. Coming there, right behind the swarthy, snnbrowned reapers, he be­holds a beautiful woman gleaning—a woman more fit to bend to a harp or sit upon a throne than to stoop among the sheaves. Ah, that was an eventful d»y!

I t was love at first sight. Boaz forms «n attachment for the womanly gleaner—an attachment full of undy­ing interest to the church of God in all ages; while Ruth, with an ephah, or nearly a bushel of barley, goes home to Naomi to tell her the successes and adventures of the day. That Ruth, who left her native land of Moab In darkness, and journeyed through an undying affection for her mother-in-law, is in the harvest-field of Boaz, is affianced to one of the best families in Judah, and becomes in after-time the ancestress of Jesus Christ the Lord of glory! Out of so dark a night did there oven dawn so bright a morning?

I learn, in the first place, from this subject how trouble develops char* acter. I t was bereavement, poverty and exile that developed, illustrated and announced to all ages the sub­limity of Ruth's character. That is a very unfortunate man who has no trouble. It was sorrow that made John Bunyan the better dreamer, and Dr. Young the better poet, and 6'Con-nell the better orator, and Bishop Hall the better preacher, and Ilav6loek the better soldier, and Kitto the better en­cyclopedist, and Ruth the better daughter-in-law.

I once asked an aged man in regard to his pastor, who was a very brilliant man: "Why is it that your pastor, so -very brilliant, seems to have so little tenderness in his sermons?7' "Well," he replied, "the reason is, our pastor tias nevisr had any trouble. When mis­fortune comes upon him, his style will be diff i r en t* After awhile the Lord took u child out of that pastor's house; and though the preacher was just as brilliant as he was before, oh, the warmth, the tenderness of his dis­courses! The fact is that trouble is a great educator. You see sometimes a musician sit down at an instrument, and his execution is cold and formal and unfeeling. The reason is that all his liffi he has been prospered. But let misfortune or bereavement come to that man, and he sits down at the in­strument, and you discover the pathos in the first sweep of the keys. Mis­fortune and trials are great educators. A young doctor comes into a sick room V/here there is a dying ohild. Perhaps ae is verj' rough in his prescription, and very rough in his manner, and rough in the feeling of the pulse, and rough in his ai ver to the anxious mother's question; but the years roll on, and there has been one dead in his own house; and now he comes into the sick room, and with tearful eye he looks at the dying child, and he says: "Oh how this reminds me of my Chariie!" Trouble the great educator! Sorrow— I see its touch in the grandest painting; 1 hear its tremor in the sweetest song; I feel its power in the mightiest argu­ment.

Grecian mythology said that the foun­tain rt Hippocrene was struck out by the ft>ot of the winged horse, Pegusus. I have often noticed in life that the brightest and most beautiful fountains of Christian comfort and spiritual life have been struck out by the iron-shod hoof of disaster and calamity. I see Daniel's courage best by the flash of Nebuchadnezzar's furnace. I see Paul's prowess best when I find him on the foundering ship under the glare of the lightning in the breakers of Melita. God crowns His children amid-thehowl­ing of wild beasts and the chopping of blood-splashed guillotine and the crack­l ing fires of martyrdom. It took the

persecutions of Marcus Arelius to de-velod Polyearp and Justin Martyr. It took the pope's bull and the cardinal's curse, and the world's anathema to do* velop Martin Luther. It took all the hostilities against the Scotch Covenan­ters and the fury of Lord Claverhouse to develop James Ren wick, and An­drew Melville, and Hugh McKail, the glorious m arty s of Scotch history. It took the stormy sea, and the December blaot, and the desolate New England coast, and the war-whoop of savages to show forth the prowess of the Pil­grim fathers—

When amid tho storms they sang, And the stars heard, and the sea;

And the sounding aisles of the dim wood Bang to the authems of the free.

It took all our past national dis­tresses, and it takes all our present na­tional sorrows, to lift up our nation On that high career where it will march along after the foreign despotisms that have mocked and the tyrannies that have jeered, shall be swept down un­der the omnipotent wrath of God, who Lates oppression, and who, by the strength of His own red right arm, will make all men free. And so it is individually, and in the family, and in the church, and in the world, that through darkness and storm and trouble men, women, churches, na­tions are developed.

Again, I see in my text Ihe beauty of unfaltering friendship. I suppose there were plenty of friends for Naomi while she was in prosperity; but of all her acquaintances, how many were willing to trudge off with her toward Judea, when she had to make that lonely journey? One—the heroine of my text. One—absolutely one^ I sup­pose when Naomi's husband was living, and they had plenty of money, and all things went well, they had a great many callers; but I suppose that after her husband died, and her property went, and she got old and poor, she was not troubled very much with call­ers. All the birds that sang in the bower while the sun shone have gone to their nests, now the night has fallen.

Oh, these, beautiful sunflowers that spread out their color in the morning hour! but they are always asleep when the sun is going down! Job had plenty of friends when he was the rich­est man in Uz; but when his property went and the trials came, then there wer« none so much that pestered as Elzphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shnhite, and Zophar the Naamathite.

Life often seems to be a mere game, where the successful player pulls down all the other men into his own lap. Let suspicions arise about a man's char­acter, and he becomes like a bank in a panic, and all the imputations rush oh him and break down in a day that character which in due time would have had strength to defend himself. There are reputations that have been hajf a century in building which go down under some moral exposure, as a vast temple is consumed by the touch of a sulphurous match, A hog can uproot a century plant. In this world, so full of beartlessaess and hypocrisy, how thrill­ing it is to find some friend as faithful in days of adversity as in days of pros­perity! David had such a friend in Hushai; the Jews had such a friend in Mordec&i, who never forgot their cause; Paul had such a friend in,6hesiphorus, who visited him in jail; Christ had such in the Marys, who adhered to Him on the cross; Noam! had such a one in Ruth, who cried out: "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from follow­ing after thee, for wither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou diest will I die, and there wil l I be buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me."

Again, I learn from this subject tfeat paths which open in hardship and dark­ness often come Out in places of joy. When Ruth started from Moab toward Jerusalem, to go along with her meth-er-in-law, I suppose the people said: "Oh, what a foolish creature to go away from her father's house, to go off with a poor old woman toward the land of Judea, They won't live to get across the desert. They will be drowned in the sea, or the jackals of the wilderness will destroy them," T* was a very dark morning when Ruth started off with Naomi; but behold her in my text in the harvest-field of Boaz, to be aflla^ccr! to one of the lords of the land, and be­come one of the grandmothers of Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory. And so it often is that a path which starts very darkly ends very brightly.

When you started out for Heaven, oh, how dark was the hour of convic­tion—how Sinai thundered, and devils tormented, and the darkness thickened! All the sins of your life pounced upon you, and it was the darkest hour you ever saw when you first found out your sins. After awhile you went into the harvest field of God's mercy; you began to glean in the fields of Divine promise, and you had more sheaves than you could carry, as the voice of God ad­dressed you, saying: "Blessed is the man whose transgressions are forgiven, :*ud whose sins are covered." A very dark starting in conviction, a very bright ending in the pardo-v and the hope and the triumph of the Gospel!

So, very often in our worldly business or in our spiritual career, we start off on a very dark path. We must go. The flesh may shrink back, but there is a voice within, or a voice froi.» above, saying, "You must go," and we have to drink the gall, and we hare to carry the cross, and we have to traverse the desert, and we are pounded and flailed of misrepresentation and abuse, and we have to urge our way through ten thou­

sand obstacles that have to be slain by our own right arm. We have to ford the river, we have to climb the moun­tain, we have to storm the castle, but, blessed be God, the day of rest and re­ward will come. On the tip-top of the captured battlements we will shout the victory; if not in this world, then in that world where there is no gall to drink, np burden to carry, no battle to fight. How do I know it? Know it? I know it because God says so: "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat, for the Lamb wh^ch is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall v,ipe all tears from their eyes."

It was hard for Noah to endure the scoffing of the people in his day, while he was trying to build the ark, and was quizzed every morning about his old boat that would never be of any prac­tical use; but when the deluge came and tops of the mountains disappeared like the backs of sea monsters, and the elements, lashed up in fury, clapped their hands over a drowned world, then Noah in the ark rejoiced in his own safety and in the safety of his family, and looked out on the wreck of a ruined world.

Christ, hounded of persecutors, denied a pillow, worse maltreated than the thieves on either side of the cross, hu­man hate smacking its lips in satisfac­tion after it had been draining His last drop of blood, the sheeted dead burst­ing from the sepulchers at His cruci­fixion. Tell me, O Gethsemane and Gol­gotha! were there ever darker time than those? Like the booming of the mid­night sea against the rock, the surges of Christ's anguish beat against the gates of eternity, to be echoed back by all the thrones of Heaven and all the dungeons of helL But the day of reward comes for Christ; all the pomp and do* minion of this world are to be hung on His throne, uncrowned heads are to bow before Him on whose head are many crowns, and all the celestial wor­ship is to come up at His feet, like the humming1 of the forest, like the rush­ing of the waves, like the thundering of the seas, while all Heaven, rising ott their thrones, beat time with their scepters: "Hallelujah! hallelujah, the kingdoms of this world h ave become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ!"

That song of love; now low and tar, Ere long shall swell from star to star; That light, the breaking day whfeb tips The golden-spired Apocalypse.

It seemed to be of no importance that Jubal invented rude instruments in mu­sic, calling them harp and organ, but they were the introduction of all the world's minstrelsy; and ap you hear the vibration of a stringed instrument, even after the fingers have been taken away from it, so all music now of lute a\ad drum and cornet is only the long-con­tinued strains of Jubal's harp and Ju-bal's organ. It seemed to be a matter of vei-y little Importance that Tubal Cain learned the uses of copper and iron, but that rude foundry of ancient days has its echo in the rattle of Bir­mingham machinery, and the roar and bang of factories on the Merrimac

Again, I see in my subject, an illustra­tion of the beauty of female industry. Behold Ruth toiling in the harvest field under the hot sun, or at noon taking plain bread with the reapers, or eating the parched corn which Boaz handed to her. The customs of society, of course, have changed, and without the hard­ships and exposure to which Ruth was subjected, every intelligent woman will find something to do. I know there is a sickly sentimentality on this subject. In some families there are persons of no practical service to the household or community, and although there are so many woes all around about them in the world, they spend their time languishing over a new pattern, or bursting into tears at midnight over the story of some lover who shot him­self! They would not deign to look at Ruth carrying back the barley on her way home to her mother-in-law, Na­o m i All this fastidiousness may seem to do very well while they are under the shelter of their father's house; but when the sharp winter of misfortune comes, what of these butterflies? Per­sons under indulgent parentage may get upon themselves habits of indul-o^nw; V"t when they come out into practical life their soul will recoil with disgust and chagrin. They will feel in their hearts what the poet so severely satirized when he said:

Follcs are so awkward, things so impolite, They're elegantly pained from morn till

night. Once more I learn from my subject

the value of gleaning. Ruth going into that harvest field might have said: "There is a straw, and there is a straw; but what is a straw? I can't get any barley for myself or my mother-in-law out of these separate straws." Not so said beautiful Ruth. She gathered two straws, and she p\\+- them together, and more straws, until she got enough to make a sheaf. Putting that down, she went and gathered more straws, until she had another sheaf, and another and another and another, and then she brought them all together, and she threshed them out, and she had an ephan of barley, nigh a bushel 011» that we might all be gleaners.

—A community of idle, thriftless people can never hope for prosperity. A community of physical or moral dyspeptics can never succeed in secur­ing happiness. A community in which moi-als, religion and law are held in contempt or ignored, can never hav$ peace, order and progress.

DISLOYAL AMERICANS. T**• Trader* and "Reformer*" a Lot of

Traitors—Always Belittling Everything American—Trying to Bre«k Down Oar industries—Notable Examples. There are some unpatriotic yelpers in

this country to-day. A few years ago they said we couldn't make steel rails. When they saw that w« did make them, they said they were too soft, or too brittle, and that they would always be too costly. But they have seen most of the railroads prefer them; have seen production increase more than 4,500 per cent, in the last twenty years; have seen the price cocas down from S107 a ton in 1870, to $34 in 1890; have seen im­ports fall from 45S,000 tons in 1870, to less than 200 tons in 1890, and have seen exports increase from X,341 tons in 1S70, to 15,169 tons in the fiist ten months of this fiscal year, and at last they have stopped talking against American steel rails. They have b«cn pilloried by facts at the sign-post of American prog­ress.

But what they said against our ability to economically produce steel rails was mild and decent compared with their efforts to discourage the production of American tin plate. In the first place they said we had no tin, This argu­ment went down before a whole line of facts: first, that only 3 per cent, of tin-plate is tin; second, that tin is free of duty; third, that the Welsh factories import most of their tin; and, fourth, that we have recently produced seven tons of pig tin at Temescal, Cal., and are developing its production with mil­lions of capital in South Dakota.

Then they said that the making of tinplatc involved high skill, which could be attained only by long experience, and that it would cost too much to attempt to rival the hereditary craft of the WTelsh makers. Think of the humili­ation of this untrue and unpatriotic assumption! It has been shown that the process is very simple; that every other nation with energy and skill is making its own tinpiates; that Norton Brothers, of Chicago, who have im­ported from Wales a complete outfit of machinery, regard it "of value chiefly as a model to be avoided;" that already improved processes are in successful operation her«, and that years ago the best tin roofing ever used in this country was produced by N. & G. Taylor, of Philadeiohia.

Next the uecriers said that "nobody ever thought of investing a dollar in a tinplate factory anywhere in this country," and when a few plates were shown at banquets they said it was all a show, a pretense, and a myth. In answer to this a list of fourteen com­panies which are building works, and some of which were producing plates in considerable quantities months before the new tariff became operative, has been published. As an off set to this, a New York tory journal offered a re­ward for a moderate quantity of a specified description of tin from any American milK The trick in this was exposed by a New York dealer, who offered a similar reward for the same kind from a British mill—/or it is not produced.

Finally, when the Welsh monopoly advanced the price to sixteen shillings two pence p«r box, our croakers said it was all on account of McKinley. Amer­icans with souls instead of gizzards re­plied that this showed how certain we are to be bled when dependent upon foreign supply, and that the McKinley tariff would soon make us free. Indeed, it has begun already, for a Boston dealer has an offer from Wales for tin-plate at thirteen siiilliu^s two pence per-box for July delivery; so it is three shillings lower under a high tariff than it was under a low tariff, and American production will force it lower stilL

And now, as forty-three works in Wales have been closed for a month, to enable the trust to sustain or ad­vance theprice, thus locking out 25.000 innocent toilers—and the leading trade journals of England are soundly bera­ting them for it—where is the American tory organ that has uttered the first word of condemnation?

When the Bering Sea negotiations were pending, these same un-American journals continually assailed our diplo­macy, until finally, ex-Minister Phelps, democrat though he is, plainly told them through Harper's Monthly, that they were rendering aid and comfort to the other side.

That is what they are,continually do­ing in regard to our industries, and, like the early Vermont tory, they should be slung up to the sign of publie opinion, where even a dead catamount is above them in American spirit

Drawbacks. The opponents of protection have so

decried the privilege for drawing back ninety-nine per cent, of duties on im­ported materials for manufactures to be exported, and have * so often said Uhat it is a failure on account of com­plications, that the Boston Commercial* Bulletin has looked up the facts and has found that this provision of the law is working well and is availed of to a very considerable extent Indeed, from October to March drawbacks to the ex­tent of nearly S3,000,000 were allowed. The list of articles on which they have been claimed embraces more than 3&0, and the increase has been such t-.hat the treasury department has assigned of­ficials to give their entire time to this branch of the service. Col. Montgomery, the head of this force, reports that ap­plications are recived daily. So here it another disappointment for the army oj

! the discontented.

Whnt

TARIFF ON WALL PAPER.

the "Reform" Traders Left

Club Says-But the Vre* Traders Left a I>aty ,oo It Iv hen Th*")? Framed the Hills BW—Something AboV* 'he Indnstrjr. Tarift Reform is the name, printed In

large type, across the head of a four-page pamphlet recently issued. It is the latest addition to the series issued by the "Reform" Club, and, like its predecease—, yrhile pretending to give only facts, twist them out of shape, and deduces conclusions totally unwarrant­ed, even by its own data. Their pre­paration and printing is paid for out of the always overflowing treasury of the "reformers," and tkey are gratuitously distributed in the rural districts, where the high-sounding phrases descriptive of the "reformer's** devotion to truth will find easier credence than in local­ities where his dishonest purposes and unscrupulous methods are better known.

The particular document under con­sideration treats of "Wall Paper and the Tariff." It reviews tas rapid pro-

egress of the industry in the United States, and, with » stupidity inexplic­able, gives a table of the rates of duties at various times, showing that the do­mestic industry from its earliest begin­nings was well protected In 17S9 it shows the duty was 1½ per cent; in IT90, 10 per cent ; in 1793, 15 per c e n t ; in 1808,17¾ per cent.; in 1816,35 per c e n t ; and in 1824* 40 per cent That is, the great statesmen who shaped the destinies of the young republic, and started it on its marvelous career ol industrial development, foresaw the great future of paper making, and gave it ever more and more protection, till it had a 40 per cent Tariff wall about it in 1834. The relation of cause and effect between the table of tariff rates and the wonderful expansion of industry is not pointed out in the pamphlet

Of course the object of the pamphlet­eer was to establish the iniquity of the McKinley tariff rate on wall paper. "In the production of this class of paper our manufacturers lead the world. They need no protection whatever." Those are his words. The reader is led to suppose that the one remedy for this-terrible state of affairs is to place the ••reformer" in power, and the Protection to wall paper will forthwith die an ignoble death, to the infinite relief of ita previously taxed victims, the purchasers of wall paper. Well, the "reformers*7

had the power to shape * tariff bill a few years ago according to their own sweet will. Did they abolish the Juty on wall paper? No. But they certainly reduced it? No, not even that. They left it just exactly as it is in the Me-Kinley law, 25 per ceut ad valorem, 15 per cent less than the duty nnder the tariff of 1824. It was a protectionist congress and a Protectionist president that in.18S3 reduced'the duty from :t5 to 35 per Cent So that this "reform" essay; is as much an arraignment of the Mills bill as it is of the McKinley law. In the meantime no one needs to lie awake o' nights on account of this tariff tax, for, as the ''reformer" himself tells us, "we can produce wall paper cheaper than any other country in the world," and since the tariff "is of no lienefit to the manufacturers here," our people must necessarily be buying the cheap­est paper in the world. •

THE CURSE OF CHEAPNESS.

Free Traders May l ike It, But Protoctk ists Want N A M of It.

It is well, perhaps, to guard against assaults upon the Tariff of 1S90, which are based upon changes of value either up or down which are always occurring and have no relation to tariff legisla-

' tion. Supply and demand, change of ( public tastes and A multitude of other causes always in operation lead to changes in prices, and they will not cease to act now. It is for reasonable men to discern the true causes and not be misled by demagogues or newspapers having political ends to serve. The framers of the new tariff bill and its friends look for important results from its adoption, affecting broadly the pros­perity of the American people. They do not hesitate to avow that cheapness is-of no advantage when it is the effect of general impoverishment and inability to purchase; when every man wants to sell and there-are no buyers; when trade languishes and warehouses are crowded with goods; when men have no money to. buy,because their industries are crippled and they can earn but little wages; when farmers have to burn their corn and cat­tle are slaughtered for their hides only, because the workmen are unemployed and the markets, stagnant

The friends of the new bill say that good wages and steady work are better than cheapness, and that an active de­mand and firm prices for merchandise mean prosperity for the- people, for those who pay and for those who earn wages. It is the signal for an indus­trial revival, for a new advance in na­tional greatness and wealth, in which all will share and all but the free trader rejoiee. Let free tradera exult in cheap­ness, in the depression of our industries, in low wages, in the general distress of all classes of our people. The vulture loves his carrion not more than the free trader longs for cheapness. Let the people starve so he may get his raiment for half price; let woman suffer and toil so he may hire the labor of the man for a song; let the busy industries of the people stagnate and perish so he may see foreign trade increase and foreign manufacturers thrive; let him enjoy this feast of cheapness to his fill, and gloat over i t This may be English, but it is not American, and the Amcii* «%n people have no sympathy with it.

FARM AND GARDEN. EXTERIOR OF BARNS.

A subscriber, who is the owuer of a hundred-acre farm, and who is about to build a new barn, asks for a design which will present a handsome appear' ance, and, if practicable* without great additional cost He is familiar with the common construction of such buildings, where but little attention is given to the exteriors, many of which might as v'ell be excluded from s ight In answer to hi& request we give two engravings, one representing a barn where some at­tention is given to the outside appear­ance, and the other one of the plainest character. The interior arrangements of both are nearly alike, except that the handsome one, Fig. '2, has a base­ment, whic^r is par "y occupied with

borer, and requiring not more than two oarrels of the oil, will cost $8. Our in-juirer will decide whether he would save such a, bam as in Fig. 2, for about ¢1,000 or upwards, or one like Fig. 1, Tor $900, not counting the basement in either ciise.

These figures are only approximate, and are liable to much variation with the prices of'materials and lumber, the iegree of finish given to the various parts, the ability of the carpenter and the skill of the owner in directing the work.—Country Gentleman.

Many Seek a General PwpoM Hora* Ye* Never Obtain It.

Strictly speaking a general purpose horse is one that can do everything that a horse is called on to d a It is impossible in the nature of things for a horse to be so constructed that he can do everything. A horse to be a general purpose horse should combine all the qualities of a runner, a trotter, a pacer, a roadster, a coacher, a sad­dler, a hunter and a draft horse, also a Sadies' driving horse and children's pony. The greatest value in a horse comes from his possessing some parties ular quality, or combination of qual­ities in the same line, and the ability to do one thing and do it welL The better adapted a horse is to one thing, the more valuable he is.

The view that, farmers take of a gen­eral purpose horse is one that will be heavy and strong enough to do all the work on the farm and at the same time combine enough speed to make a good road horse, both single and double. No doubt such a horse is val­uable on a farm. We have seen some horses that would work with any horse on the farm, draw two tons singly on a good road and then, with a rest of a day or two, get out on the road and travel eight miles an hour and a mile in three minutes or better. Such a horse is an ideal farm horse for most eastern farmers. Not one farmer in 1*000 owns such a horse and not one horse in 100,000 can do that. The general purpose horse as found on the farm is nearly worth­less in the great markets. They are too light for any draft work, not fast enough for roadsters, not large enough for coach ers and so they are sold for $100 or $125 to go on the street car or grocery wagon. Put 200 pounds more weight on him and he will do for draft work and bring twi.se as much money. Add t w o inches more to his height and draw his head up a little higher by training when he is a colt and he wil l do for a coacher and bring three times as much. Use a better sire and dam and get your horse to drive well and easy end go in three minutes or less and he is worth four times as much for a roadster.

The majority of farmers on a 100-acre farm keep three or more horses. For farm horses they should secure mares that weigh at least 1,100 pounds, and 1,200 pounds or more is better. If these marcs are strictly of the draft type, they should be bred to a pure-blooded draft stallion of good weight and fflze, and the colts wi l l be Worth something to selL Or if the mares are tall and not so blocky they may be bred to a good coach stallion with a view of raising coaehcrs. One or two horses weighing 1,000 or 1,050 pounds apiece c<iuId be kept to do the driving and at the same time they would be useful in drawing the mowing ma­chine, hay rake, cultivator and doing other light farm work. The sooner farmers get out of the idea of trying to raise a general purpose horse and go in for a special purpose the more money they will make from their farms. —Farm and Home.

As there is a large amount of wire and picket fencing being built at pres­ent, I will call attention to what I con­sider an improvement. Instead of every picket being fulJ length, let every other

one be only one^half length. As the pickets used in such fences are gener­ally 2 inches wide with spaces from 2 to 3 inches, it can readily be seen that this fence will turn all kinds of farm stock as well as if all the pickets were full length. The advantages of such a plan are: 1, A saving of one-fourth of the picket material; 2, less wind sur­face, thus making it more substantial: 3, neat and tasty appearance.—A. F. Wiiitright, in Ohio Farmer.

Y o n n j j M e a t t h e C h e a p e s t , While 1 pound of pork may be

made with 2K pounds of dry food in a pig weighing 160 to 170 pounds at six months old, four times as much food is needed to produce 1 pound of beef dur­ing the second year of a steer's life. Some of the most successful feeders in the country agree that no profit can be made in beef after a steer is 2¾ years old, because the cost of produc­tion increases rapidly with the growth of the animal The food of support is a heavier tax on a feeder 30 months old than on one only 24. Steers that have been well cared for until 2 years old may weigh 12 to 15 hundredweight and the beef carcass f.sven to nine times the weight of the marketable hog has to be supported. Many farm­ers feed steers to three years old or over that do not attain to more than 14 to 16 hundredweight. This shows how great is the loss sustained from the food of support daring- the third year. The food required to make 1 pound of beef makes 5 to 6 pounds of pork if fed during the first six months during the life of the hog.—James Cheesman, iu Farm and Home,

MILLET seed is a good feed for young chickens. In saving the crop it will often be a good plan to stew up a good supply especially for this purpose.

"August Flower"

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca, Mo., during the past two years has been affected with Neuralgia of the Head, Stomach and Womb, and writes: "My food did not seem to strengthen me at all and my appe­tite was very variable. Mv face was yellow, my head dull, and I had such pains in my left side. In the morning when I got up I would have a flow of mucus in the mouth, and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes my breath became short, and I ha,d such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. I ached all day under the shoulder blades, in the left side, and down the back of my limbs. It seemed to be woi se in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells came on, my feet and hands would turn cold, and I could get no sleep at all. I tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came. It has done me a wonderful deal of good during the time I have taken it and is work­ing a complete core.'' © G. a GRJEEN, Sok Uan'tr}WoodbarjtN.J.

Tltf treaty waa negotiated by Hon. dol.ti W. Fo8terv6n the part of the tJaited States and Manuel IX. J. Gal-van, Minister Fienipotentiary and en­voy extraordinary on the part of San-Domingo. The treaty ha.3 been ap­proved by President Ileureaux of San-Donaingo, and also by the President and Secaetary Blaine, and only needs the official proclamation of the Presi­dent to go into effect September 1,

IT has beejv figured that it will not require more than- $12,000,000 " e x t year to pay su^ar bounties, in return for which expenditure'the. people will save at least $60,0000,000 on the price paid for.sugar. It is extremely doubt­ful, however, if the-lKiunties paid reach move than $8,300,000, I t -was made necessary for thaplanters proposijig te rai.se sujrar to rwime their expectations the Iwunties have been figured.

It is rattier amusing to have the dem ocrats object to this sugar bounty which was provided by the republicans to be paid to people of democratic states.

It would have l>een no more than they deserved, had the duty on sugar been wiped out aiid'no compensation provid­ed for the sugar raisers. But the Re puDlioaus were magnanimous.

Outwitting the Faculty.

At a recent meeting of a number of college men in Hartford says the Courant, conversation happened to drift to the trials and struggles of ex­amination days. It was lea thnt way by the first story teller, who said that, having been at one examination where each student drew a separate slip of qUHStious, be met a classmate who had io go in with the next division. *'The

'thing is not likely to be a chanee," he said to his frieud, "but in cam you should draw the paper I had TH tell you what each question was." So be iid. The fellow looked them up* went in, and drew that, very paper, and came out trinmphaut.

But tbat proved a very mild cas*1

when the- others came up. It seems , - , • - - . , . , - « , . that in one examination at Yale som« i , ¾ ^ ¾ ¾ ^ ¾ ^ ^ ° ^ ° " years ago in Latin- one fellow, .who was very shaky, put bis own interlined text-hook into-his overcoat pocket and entered the room. He Was called) to thede.ik and the tutur gave him a text-book> of course, not interlined. He shoved it into his other pocket, walked slowly back to his seat, drew oat his own book froin his pocket,, and was all prepared. After reciting, before the tutor could call for the book, he ah-sent-miudlv thrust it back into his pocket and* tamed away. Being asked for the book he apologized, hauled out the ether one; and retired.

Once in alumni hail at Yale- a shaky student who couldn't bear to part with his class discovered in advance a knot­hole m the- floor. He secured the desk by time bole. Pretty soon be had the misfortune to drop his peucil. Bend­ing over he' shoved his examination paper down through this fenot-hole. Fellows in waking iu the cellar ran off with it, filled out papers for him, not too well, but well enough to save bim. for a perfectly correct ex­amination was not consistaut with his record, and on returning signaled to him. This time he had ;he misfortnne to knock a lot of paper off his table and litter the floor. He got down and conscientiously picked everything up, including the relief papers that came up through the knot-hole.

At another time, where papers were drawn, one fellow drew two by sleight-of-hand- process, passed on one, sur­rendered i t and went out. Then he gave the extra one to a lame friend, who at once "crammed" that paper. Then be went in, drew his paper, and calmly substituted the one he knew, passing well on it, and carrying.away, for what might be termed outdoor re­lief,, the paper thathedrew. This was keptgoing*:dl day.

Another fellow, illustrating alike the sharpness of tbe boy and the laziness of the-professor, having practicaliy no knowledge of one heavy subject that had been a study for the term{- went to the- records and learned by heart the answers to each of the twelve ques-tioas asked in each of tbe previous years, discovering the while tbat in­stead of being thirty-six questions, there was a good deal of repetition. :&oowing these questions thoroughly, and not a word ouudde of them, he went in, and, sure enough, the pro­fessor had drawn sufficiently on bis earlier papers to enable' this fellow to answer more than enough to pass him. As for the re*v his paper wa» a blank.

John Jtfiltpn once said, "Reformers ook very small in the eye of the world, >.*it very large in the eye of God, they 'ire so much nearer Him," So we he ieve ever? effort of God'a people for lie amelioration of the Bins and suff--: rings of His fellow creatures, though -.mall in the estimate of the world, are ^reat in the mind of Him who alone, an render them victorious. The,.great petition of the World's

U., ia the plea of :<suffering, .'Obhiitg wowanhood, for the protection >f her home''and the salvation of ,b*:p ions and daughtets; one neart crowd-ing upon another, in their outreach toward God, until as one sonl, leaving Lheir all with Him, they catch the sound of his voice, saying *'Oh woman! jreat is thy faith; be it unto thee, even is tliou wiH<"

This petition is in circulation the \vide world over, but we fear some ivoman may have failed to add hei name, and will not be contented among the pleading host, therefore, the Na­tional \WG. T.U., at its late meeting rtt Atlanta, promised renewed effort chat none may be omitfted. Great Uritain is alive to the work, and Eu­rope, Asia and Africa are pressing its claims. While we desire the name of every woman, we also want the en­dorsement of men, Two copies of the petition can be circulated simnltan-iously; one can be signed by women as petitioners, the other by men, as en­dorsers, always leaving the back of the petition free for pasting upon thin cloth, in preparation for its journey round the world. Miss Willard writes: *'We hope this will be a year when the work for this petition will be so large­ly increased, that when we meet at Tremont Temple; Boston, in Novem­ber 1891, there v?ill be towers and bas­tions of petitions heaped up as a tes­timony that the great document is about to start on its travels. We want the heart of Lady Henry Somerset to be encouraged by the object lesson there presented; and perhaps she wi)l bring over" the immense roll of signa­tures that she will have obtained from the lady she has appointed for that purpose, while I am sure that the Do­minion of Canada will not be in arrears for it has already given us a good re­port of the work now in progress."

THE WHEAT CROP. Kastaaut Fwansrs Holdtna; Back Their Pro*

wet—A Boom in Grain Freight* by Wsrter. Tor%KA, Kan.. Aug, L—Although

ears have been generally distributed by the railroads, but little wheat is flow­ing eastward from this state. Alliance leaders attribute this to the circular sent out from Washington advising farmers to hold their grain. Grain deal-, era declare that this is not so, but insist the reason is that wheat is yet in shock drying, and that the little that has come in is damp and musty and unfit foi flour. In the southern part of the state, where the yk*ld was the greatest, wheat has been threshed and just enough ha.' been sold to pay pressing debts, while the bulk of it has been put in store­houses to await higher prices. It ap-pears probable that the Washinjrtor circular has had its effect and farmer* are holding back their crop.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—The cost of carry­ing the great wheat crop of the west tc European markets is likely to be very large. There is a veritable boom in grain freights by water, both lake and ocean, and it now costs 15.8 cents tc carry a bushel of wheat from Chicago to Liverpool, as against 13.6 cents Tues­day. This advance of two cents in four days is largely in ocean rates, although the rise in rates from Chicago to the seaboard forms a part of i t Fortu­nately the break in the Erie canal near Schenectady is so nearly repaired that the canal and boatmen are able to again contract for grain to arrive. This will probably keep the rail lines from Buf­falo to the seaboard from making a ftrrther advance than they have already done.

A DANGEROUS VOYAGE.

What Bcala Shalt X Boy? This question is asked by many. Certain

it is that of all articles a scale should bo honestly made and accurate. A low price; or what seems to be low, if it means an in­ferior implement, is a bad bargain.

There is a scale-maker who has had a long and honorable career in the business. "He

Eays the freight" You probably have eardofhim. He says of his scale: *'W«

offer it on trial, guaranteeing it tobe bettor than any cAcap Scale, and that no Scale, highpricedor low-priced, is better titan it. With no traveling men, no high rents or no bribing of public weighers to throw out some other Scale, our expenses are so low that we can afford to sell a first-class Scale at a fair price."

Old Feud Between Inritona Parmer* la Settled With Pitchforks.

EVAXSVIT.T.E, Ind., Aug. 1.—Henry B. Ritter, a farmer of Knight township, is dying from the effects of injuries re­ceived at the hands of two brothers named Stapp. There is an old feud be­tween the Stapps and Ritter which grew out of the location of the dividing line between their farms. Thursday afternoon the brothers went to Ritter's house and asked him to help them thresh their wheat He refused, where­upon the two attacked him witn pitch­forks. Ilis head, arms and back were punctured full of holes and once he was lifted in the air upon their forks, the tines penetrating his body to the depth of six inches, His cries for help brought assistance and the Stapps w t* e arrested.

DEMOCRATKD DUPLICITY. Th« Effort* of Frtse Traders to Hoodwink

the 1'eopte. The democratic and mugwump press

throughout the country are constantly endeavoring- to deceive and confuse the voters of the couutfy by insisting upon the absurd assertion tha t reciprocity i* essentially free trade under a new name.

It cannot be claimed tha t these state­ments are born of ignorance, and t ha t they are, therefore, made in a spirit of sincerity.

No ona can know better than an ordi­narily well informed democrat t ha t rec­iprocity and free trade are diametrical­ly opposed to each other in both prin­ciple and manifestation.

So far from reciprocity having any­thing i n common with f ree t rade it is a perfectly palpable fact t ha t a system of reciprocity could only have a prac­tical operation upon the baslr, of pro­f i t ! OH. *

Reciprocity is defined by the highest Accepted authori t ies as "reciprocal ad­vantages* obligations or r ights ," and, therefore, implies in mat ters of t rade &nch commercial exchanges as are based upon clearly and carefully stipu* la ted conditions and mutual ly recog­nized obligations. •" T h a t eminent statesman, Secretary Blaine, who has been the chief expo­nen t and promoter of the reciprocity regime, has explicitly defined the scheme a s comprehending the develop­men t of the resources of the nation by building u p our home marke t s through protection and by promoting interna­t ional t rade through reciprocal rela­tions, advantages and obligations.

Now, as opposed to this system, the democrats advocate the theory of free t rade, which literally signifies ' t r a d e o r commercial intercourse free from all artificial interference or restr ict ion."

While, therefore, reciprocity practi­cally means a t rea ty be tween two coun­tr ies conferring equal and special priv­ileges as regards customs or charges on imports and in other respects free trade, in s t r ik ing contrast , consists in " the enactment t y a s ta te or nation of a l a w t h r ^ o - b the operation of which the s ta te or nation enact ing the same agrees to receive the commodities of other nat ions or countries wi thout re­strictions or the imposition of any im­port du ty or charge, and also without any agreement on the pa r t of other countries to receive in l ike manner the commodities of the nat ion or country adopt ing the policy of free t rade ."

This, we believe, is a clear and cor­rect exposition of the essential na ture and significance of the two opposing systems.

The democrats have given us a sam­ple of their tariff legislation in the Walker tariff of lS4t> and the Cobb tariff of 18.-»7. Both of these measures reduced the schedule of duties and made the lowest tariff ever adopted by congress since the establ ishment of the government. They were directly an­tagonistic to the principle of protection to American industries, and were drafted to meet the demands and con­ditions of the southern cotton and sugar producing states, and to combat the grea t manufacturing interests of t he nor thern states, and great ly to the satisfaction and enr ichment of British manufacturers and importers.

A re turn to a similar tariff a t this pe­riod of the great advancement of the ent i re republic, with the marvels and variety and abundance of the produc­tions of California and the Pacific states, wi th the enormous development of t h e mineral weal th of t he new s t e t e % j ^ i t h t h e increasing importance of t he iron manufacture in sbmeof the southern states, and in view of the impetus to American shipbuilding and commerce, which wil l restore and mainta in to the United States the fair r ivalry or supremacy of the ocean—a re tu rn to a tariff system like tha t of the Cobb tariff of 1S57 would be na­t ional suicide.

Ye t similar to t ha t tariff was the scheme set forth by Mills, of Texas, and so vigorously recommended by President Cleveland.

I t is substantial ly contemplated free t rade. The duties imposed were simply for revenue, and the principal and pur­pose of protection found no place in the proposed tariff.

Th i s is wha t we have to expect from the democrats, in the event of their ever eoming into possession of the na­t ional government.

T h e euphemism of "a tariff for revenue only" can deceive the people n o longer. When wrung out and hung ou t in the party wash, no amount of blueing and s tarching can give this democra t ic tariff any other or bet ter appearance than essential free trade.— N. Y. Mail and Express .

EAGLE AND ROOSTER,

I>iflferencu Between Representative Birds of Republicans and Democrats.

At the recent republican convention i n Ohio the eagle, k ing of birds, was se­lected as the distinguishing symbol for t h e t icket in the coming state election. At the still more recent democratic con­vention the s t ru t t ing cock was chosen ja& the emblem, and thus under the pro­visions of the Austral ian voting law t h e two t ickets will be distinguished from each other—on the one side the rooster and the barnyard; on the other t he bird of Jove and the s tar ry flag.

In selecting the male hen as their emblem the democrats have chosen a fowl who in his way is a good fighter and a great b r a g g a r t But it is never safe to assume he h a s come out ahead because he is on the fence crowing -with all hia might over an alleged vic­

tory. There in uo significance to hia shrill yell except t ha t he has not been quite knocked out, for he crow* not only at victory but rejoice* if notlfadly licked, l ie usually orows when he hears some other rooster crowing, and cele­brates with m o w stentorian voiet: the achievements of his hafem in egg-lay­ing and chicken-hatching than the hens themselves, l ie is a vulgar bird in his habi ts and prefers a barnyard fo*' his place of recreation to the highest tJ>rie tha t can be offered him. He is as rain and s t rut t ing as a peacock, and D oth-ing more delights him than a piec-c of showy ribbon tied to his tail. l ie will defend the ladles of his establishment against his own kind, but v. ill abandon them to the a t tack of a-, hawk or rat. He is most courageous when he sounds his noisy challenge to a foe a distance off. His principal a t t r ibute is noise, though some breeds fight well. His highest aspirations never rise above the barnyard. He has wings, but he nevf r g^ts any where with them, ex­cept to a roos t He may be a hust ler within the nar row limits «f h is native henwalk, but beyond tha t restricted area he never ventures. His chief oc­cupation is scratching and searching for bugs, worms, seeds and other boodle.

The republicans, on the o ther hand, have chosen the bird whose home is in the mountain peaks; whose name al­ways h a s been synonymous with freedom and victory from the days of the Roman legions until now; who site a t the r igh t hand of Jove a s he hur ls his thunderbol ts ; who flies above the clouds; whose keen eye can look upon the god of day wi thout being dazzled; who is a t home amid the l ightnings; who soars among the h igh ethereal elements; whose scream is a lways one of defiance; whose beak rends and whose talons tear; who is dangerous when assailed, enduring in at tack, free and untamable , mighty in onset and a lways victorious—-the king of birds, the admiration of free men. It' is for these characterist ics t ha t free men always have adopted the eagle as the symbol of high honor, undaunted courage, lofty patriotism, independence —loathing servility; t ha t in this coun­t ry it has been selected as the emblem for coins (eagles and double eagles, not roosters and doable roosters), the dec­oration for bat t le s tandards and de­fiant banners , the companion of lib­erty, the type of patriotism, the em­blem of the American nasionali ty. As between this noble bird and the ig­noble barnyard, s t ru t t ing , boasting rooster the electors of Ohio will choose the former as their favorite emblem by an immense majority t h a t will cause the roosterites to hide in their hen­coops.—Chic.(go Tribune.

BELLE BOYD, THE SPY. Another Chapter in the History of the Dar-

ing* Girl, Many of Washington, county 's veter­

ans , who followed the feathers of Stone­wal l Jackson and Ewel l in the cele­brated Banks campaign in the valley of Virginia, remember well the subject of this short sketch—Belle Boyd, the confederate spy and scout, t he pet of Jackson ' s "foot cavalry"—and many will be the regrets expressed when they learn from this t ha t she has been in serious trouble in the north. The na­ture of th is trouble is poverty and ina­bili ty to support he r children, and they were about to be t aken from her, and the mat te r is still pending in the courts.

I n the spring of 1862 a Georgia regi­m e n t w?ts marching a t the headrof Ewel l ' s division down the Lurny valley. We had passed through the town of Lu» ray, and were near ing For t Royal, go­ing—we knew hot where—on one of Jackson ' s secret marches. Suddenly from a set t lement road there appeared a t a full r im a most magnificent horse, and with a rider—a most beautiful young lady^-who sa t t he horse as if born to the saddle. I never saw a love­lier sight. Hal t ing in front of our reg­iment she inquired for Jackson. One of our officers knew her and gave her t he desired information, and then off she went to our rear, riding l ike the celebrated John Gilpin.

" T h a t is Belle Boyd," said the officer who had directed her, "and you may jus t as well ge t ready for a fight, for it won' t be long before you will see her and Jackson pass to the front, and then you may look out." Sure enough, very soon here they came, and as they passed us the command was passed up the line to load and'"then to "double quick." We were soon a t For t Royal, where we surprised and captured the troops sta­t ioned there. I t af terwards was told t h a t Belle Boyd had been in and around For t Royal for a day or two, and hav­ing found out everything necessary for Jackson to know tha t she had s tar ted out to find him and give the informa­tion which enabled him to swoop down on them and take them in.

From Fort Royal to Winchester we saw her a few t imes on the march, ei ther riding wi th Jackson or some of his staff. After the capture of Win­chester we pushed on to Martinsburg, twenty- two miles toward the Potomac. We missed her when we left Winches­ter. Arriving a t Mart insburg we form­ed a l ine of bat t le and threw out skir­mishers and were gradually closing in on the place. A sl ight skirmish fight was going on when we heard an unusual commotion in the direction of the town, and soon we caught sight of a lady on horseback, coming like a cyclone to­wards us. A lot of Yankee cavalry were pursuing Ler, anr1 the bullets from their carbines made mv> "c in the air. We expected every minute to see her shot off her horse, but she never halted or slacked her speed As she neared us we recognized her as Belle Boyd, and directing our fire on her pur­suers we caused them to tu rn back. Again she inquired for Jackson, bu t Maj. Harry Douglas, of Jackson 's staff, had already seen her, and togeth­er they went to the rear. 1 suppose she must have told Jackson t h a t the Yankee force was too strong for MA to at tack, for Z%, a.son immediately wi thdrew all of h is forces and left the town, going in the direction of Har­per 's Verry. Belle was never seen in our a « n j again. After we left the val­ley she returned to her home near Mar­t insburg and short ly after she w a s captured by the Yankees and carried a prisoner to Washington. After a long

How I t Was Built With Peaceful Intent, and How I t Figured ia a Great Battle. Rev. Benjamin L. Agnew, pastor of

the Bethlehem Presbyter ian Church, corner Broad and Diamond streets, r e ­cently mentioned a fact which may be known to few, and will be of in teres t to many.

"Fi f ty yea r s before the war , " h e said, "my father. Smith Agnew, lived wi th his stepfather, Rev. Dr. Dobbins,, in t he stone house on the Balt imore pike, a short distance below Gettys-burg. At t ha t t ime he was a lad of seventeen years. He took ent i re charge of t he farm, which in some sections w a s very stony. One day the thought s t ruck him tha t these stones could be utilized by ga ther ing them and building w i t h t h e m a stone wal l . He enlisted t h e services of a negro w h o resided in t h e vicinity, and together they hauled t h e s tone to the place selected and buil t the celebrated stone wal l whose name will exis t while history las t s . "

Young Agnew buil t h is wal l w i th g rea t care, using large flat stones a s binders and filling In w i th smal ler ones* l i t t le dreaming a t t h a t l ime w h a t a n impor tant place t h a t wal l would oc­cupy in t he grea tes t ba t t l e of modern t imes. I t was here t h a t Gen, Pickett** division, headed by his val iant Vir­ginians, made i t s memorable charge* and al though i t was t h rown into con* fusion by the flanking fire of S tanhard ' s Vermonters and Donbleday's division* sti l l pressed forward and a t last suc­ceeded in plant ing a confederate flag on this wall ; only, however, to be driv­en back with the loss of near ly three-qua r t e r s of i ts n u m b e r by tbe Sixty-ninth, Seventy-first and Seventy-second Pennsylvania volunteers under Gen-Hancock.

After peace had been proclaimed, Mr. Agnew visited t h e old homestead and found t h e old s tone wal l s tanding in almost as good condition as when i t had been built.*1-Philadelphia Press.
