Bran in the road and told him that if he had any nerve he would surely be avenged upon the Cnllertons. "What have they done?" Bran asked. "Why, in Winchester, this morning, one of them shot and severely wounded your son Ike." "Ah! I am sorry to hear that, for Ike was a good fellow, and could set out as much tobacco in a day as any man in the State." "And I suppose," said Pepperaon, "that you will declare war on the whole gang." "No, I cant say that I will. You see, I have begun to believe that we are altogether too rash in taking up quarrels. The truth is, I am becoming civilized." "I am, too, colonel, but there are insults and injuries that I cannot stand. If I were you, I would get my people together and declare war." "No, I don't think it would be wise." "But that is not all the cause you have. Sava tAlfrml flhamefhllv about your family." "I am sorry, but I can't help it. This feud business doesn't pay, and I shall keep out of it. I'm sorry, though, that they Bhot Ike, for as I say, he was the finest hand in a tobaooo field in the State. How did the quarrel oome up?" "Why, a party of fellows were standing around and some remark was made about hit horses, when Joe Cullerton said that your bay mare was the most over-rated horse in Kentucky, and ?" "What!" exclaimed Col. Bran. "Did he say that ? If he did, that settles it. Hanged if I can stand everything. I'll shoot the scoundrel." One on Wall Street.?"Shoestrings! shoestrings!" he shouted as he lingered in front of the Exchange. "Only a nickel a pair, gents! warranted all linen! Lace up your shoes, gents; only a nickel a pair!" He-is a familiar figure on the street, and many a millionaire gets this cheap but important article of dress from Old Shoestrings and exchanges jokes with him at the same time. It had been dull and hard work to ggt, outsiders to bite on the golden bait for a few days, and in consequence the regular wdrksRS had been preying upon each other m much as possible, and Old Shoestrings knew by their faces that times were not easy . on the street. "Shoestrings!" he cried; and a knot of brokers gathered about him and commenced to chaff him. "Well, how is business ?" said one, as he winked at the rest. "It puts me in the mind of something that happened on the Central railroad during the strike^" said Old Shoestrings. "How was it ?" asked the broker. "Why, yon see a car-load of hogs was sidetracked and forgotten." "Well, what has that got to do with Wall street in this pinch ?" asked the broker, as he winked at the crowd. "Why, you see," said Old Shoestrings, "after the strike was over they went and looked into that car and diskivered that those hogs, when they were abandoned by the public, turned in and ate each other up, and there was nothing left but a basketful of tails. Now Wall street ?" But a roar of laughter spoiled the explanation, and as the crowd dispersed they heard again, "Shoestrings, gents! all linen; only a nickel a pair!"?Judge. Too Happy for Anything.?It isn't often that the man who takes up the contribution In a church is nonplussed and forgets his business, but such was the case recently, and this is how it happened: Before singing the doxology the minister had announced that aeoUection would be taken up for the foreign missionary work. A young married couple were sitting in the body pf the church. When the collection-plate came around the groom, thinking himself doubly blessed, leu quite liberal. He put a five-dollar bill in it. The man who was taking up the collection seemed dumbfounded. He first looked at the five dollars and then at the giver; then whirling around, walked rapidly up the aisle to the pulpit. He halted there for a moment, took another glance at the bill, scratched his head, and came back to the groom. He touched the young man on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "How much ehange do you want?" "Not a darned cent," Mid the happy groom. fflT A certain grocer was never known to acknowledge that he was out of any article without calling attention to some other article that he did have. A bet was made by Johnson that he could ask the grocer a question that would cause him to omit the usual addendum. Said Jonhson, as he entered the store, where the boys had already gathered, "Mack, do you think it will be Cleveland or Hill in '92?" Mack replied, with some asperity,'"O, bother! I'm out of politics!" JohnM>n was on the verge of giving vent to his delight, when Mack added, "Bat I've got some of the best cheese you ever put your teeth into." IflP "That young man that visits you likes to be here, doesn't he ?" said a First Ward man to bis daughter, at the Dreaxiast xaoie the other morning. "Yes," she replied; "I believe he Is happy when here." "I should think so," continued the old man; "why, he's here a good deal more than I am, and I live here." "Shall I tell him to make his visits less frequent?" insinuated the girl. "Not in those words, my dear," inteijected the father; "I wouldn't be brutal to this young sum, but you might give him a delicate hint; ask him if he wouldn't like to chip in for the rent, or something like that." )&" An apple tree bears apples, and a grapevine bean grapes, but it does not follow that all plant names are to be taken thus literally.

Willie," she said, "the nurseryman was here this morning and I ordered some pie-plant. He is going to have it set out right away, and by next summer he says it will be ready for use. Won't it be nice ? I can go into the garden any day and pick a fresh pie for your dinner!"

Love you!" a Ihe $atm and ^in side. A FEED FOR EGGS. There has been a very great complaint in 9ome sections about the hens not laying as they should. I think every case can be accounted for. I was recently called in to see a lady's flock of eighty-eight hens that were looking, to say the least, fine, yet she said she was not getting as many eggs from them as I was from a pen of eight that were always confined in a yard 8x20, with a tight house 5x5, and her's had free range. I purchased a dozen from her, and after killing a couple, I found that her hens had not sufficient food to produce eggs. While this I believe to be generally the cause of failure of eggs, yet it is not always; some feed too high, and not that food which will produce eggs. I have been for some time experimenting on what kinds of food will produce the best results, and have found the following by far the best: Bran or barley in the morning scalded with milk; give all they will eat up clean. In this, we have that which is generally acknowledged to produce the greatest per cent, of the white of an egg, and very little fat. At noon feed wheat or screenings. In this, we have the lime for shell, and also a good per cent, of the yolk. Give all they want, and if you have an ash or manure pile mix a little in for them to scratch after. At night give a liberal feed of corn, and do not be afraid of making too fat. I do believe, contrary to the opinions of some, that corn will produce eggs, and lots of them, especially in winter. Feed beef scraps every other day (cooked), and plenty of bone meal, with a liberal supply of green food every day. Hens fed in this manner must lay, if they are any good at all; if net, get rid of them. An old saying, and a true one, is that a hen properly fed must lay or get fat. Of course, this will not apply through moulting time. ?C_ Cackles. Making a Home.?It seems a pity that the young woman who is about to establish a home, and has a sum of money to spend for its garnishing, cannot be persuaded from laying it out all at once. She robs herself of so much fiiture enjoyment. The spick and span sets of furniture which are carelessly ordered from an upholsterer, and stood around her parlors by his men, will never afford her half the satisfaction she can get in a room for Which to-day she buys a chair, and next week, seeing there must be a table to accompany the chair, she starts on a fresh shopping excursion, and finds a table which is exactly what she was looking for ; and in another month, discovering the need of a bookcase or a screen, she has again the delight of the hunt and the gratification of obtaining the prettiest screen and book-case in the city. Such a room is a growth, a gathering together, of household treasures little by little, and piece by piece. Each article, bought only when the need arises, or when something is happily found to just m eet the need, will have a family history which makes it an entertaining as well as a valuable possession. Each couch and footstool is an achievement, each?rug and curtain represents a triumph. Such a home, built up gradually, with careful planning in each part, with thought, and loving consideration in all its details, acquires a meaning far deeper than could be purchased by the longest purse from - * ? * - L? a 1 TT??. the most iasmonaoie caDiuei.-uiaK.er.?n?per's Bazar. Durability of Fence Posts.?Locust posts are generally considered the most durable. They have been known to be sound after sixty years of service. Split chestnut posts, from which the sapwood has been hewn o?T, have remained sound in a post and rail fence for over forty years. Sassafras timber is considered as the next durable to locust, and red cedar about the same. All timber is improved in durability by seasoning, and is better still if saturated with hot slacking lime. Posts are limed in this manner : A pit three feet deep is dug and six inches of fresh lime is spread in the bottom; the posts are set on end close together and small lime is filled in between them for one foot. Water is then poured in to fill the pit. This slakes the lime, which swells and fills the space between the posts. The heat engendered drives out the moisture from the timber, and as the lime cools the posts absorb it. Thus the albumen of the wood, which is the part that causes decay, is hardened and made much less perishable. After steeping two or three weeks they are ready for use. The bark should be peeled before the posts are limed. If posts are set with broken stone and the lime from the pit and the filling is well rammed in the hole, they are made still more durable, or the stone may quite as well be left without any filling, but should be well rammed.?New York Times. The Art of Conversation.?The art of conversation is to some women a gift. Like the poet, they are born with their glorious powers. But many women who converse intelligently and pleasantly have become masters of the art by patient care and study. Even persons of ordinary ability will find upon making the effort that where it is not a gift, no other deficiency can be so well supplemented by art. For the untutored there are three old rules which may not prove amiss. Talk to men on the subject which belongs to (heir peculiar cal lings; talk about those things which interest yourself, assuming also that they interest your listener, and make it a point to inform yourself upon a variety of topics; never be guilty of introducing in a mixed company a subject upon which all may not be able to converse. There is a wonderful faculty in drawing people out, in making the stranger and the timid feel at ease, in putting questions so skillfully and adroitly as to compel them to answer as though they were conferring a favor on you, not you seeking to entertain them; but here the rule of' good breeding is the best to follow. Truth.?Adhere always rigidly and undeviatingly to truth ; but while you express what is true, express it in a pleasing manner. Truth is the picture, the manner is the frame that displays it to advantage. If a man blends his angry passions with his search after truth, become his superior by suppressing yours, and to attend only to the justness and force of his reasoning. Truth, conveyed in austere and acrimonious language, seldom has a salutary effect, since we reject the truth because we are prejudiced against the mode of communication. The heart must be won before the intellect can be informed. A man may betray the truth by his unreasonable zeal, as he destroys its salutary effect by the acrimony of his manner. Whoever would be a successful instructor must first become a mild and affectionate friend.?New York Ledger. How to Treat a Shying Horse.?Do not strike a horse when he "shies." You only make matters worse. He shies because he's afraid of being hurt. Now, if you strike him he is hurt; he associates the harmless brush heap with pain. It is better not to change the tension of the rein at all; that is, if you were driving with a loose line when the animal shied, do not nervously clutch the rein, as if you were frightened also. It will do you no good, for you cannot gather up a loose line quick enough. If the horse shies very badly speak to him, and gather the lines easily and firmly. If you were driving with a taut line, which is always best in my judgment, do not jerk as he shies, but press steadily and keep cool.?New York Weekly. To Tell the Age of Horses.?The agricultural editor of The Times-Democrat says: The other day we met a gentleman , from Alabama, who gave us a piece of information as to ascertaining the age of a horse after it has passed its ninth year, which was quite new to us, and will be, we are sure, to most of our readers. It is this: After a horse is nine years old a wrinkle comes in the eyelid, at the upper corner of the lower lid, and every year thereafter he has one well-defined wrinkle for each year of his age over nine. If, for instance, a horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve; if four, thirteen, j Add the number of wrinkles to nine and you j ! will always get at it. So says the gentleman, and he is confident it will never fail. To Clean Marble.?Mix one-quarter of a pound of soft soap with the same quantity of pounded whiting, one ounce of soda, and a piece of bluestone the size of a walnut. Boil these together fifteen minutes, and then, while hot, rub it over the marble with a piece of flannel, and leave it on for twentyfour hours; then wash it off with clear water and polish the marble with a piece of course flannel or a piece of old felt hat.?Boston Journal of Chemistry.

Since his recent defeat for re-election to the United States senate by the Farmers' Alliance of Kansas, Ex-Senator Ingalls has been I devoting his attention to an investigation pf the causes of his downfall. He has written quite a number of articles on various phases of the question, and here is one of hiB latest, clipped from Truth: The Republican party is undergoing a pro- | cess of segmentation. The cleavage between the east and west is perceptible, and may become complete. The difference between the two sections result from environment, and I fear are fun- , damental. Reconciliation is impossible except by concessions, which would be equiva- 'J lent to surrender, and this is not to be antici pa tod. I do not regard the movement which under i various names is going on in the West and . South as casual, sporadic or temporary. It is the organization of the laboring, produc- ( :?- ? "' oonHonifnrftl flosses for their own Dro lug (MIU Wf,* ? VI*.?? Atection. It is not yet an array against wealth, M property, corporations or capital. So far it : is strictly defensive, but there are enormous possibilities for mischief. Derision, ridicule j and denunciation are not wise. Reason, ar- , gument, conference, propitiation, would be | better. It is well to be careful in handling j dynamite, especially when it happens to be j intelligent and has a grievance, real or im- , aginary. , The men of the East, who look upon it all with an air of amused and patronizing inter- i est, will find that they are not guided by their customary penetration. , Politics do not wholly, nor even largely, \ account for the marvelous spread of the , movement. It must be described as the-': sudden appreciation of the power possessed | by every atom in our complei.and extraordinary social fabric. Men have passed from a hazy understanding of the right to vote, a j realization of the resistless power of their votes when combined. < j The dynamics of the Western movement j are not understood and appreciated east of j the Alleghanie8. There is a disposition to i scoff, sneer, and disparage, which is impolitic and unfortunate. This will intensify the irritation and aggravate the 'tendency to separation. The people have learned f he lesson of the supremacy of numbers?the power of combination. They have discovei-ed that they are in the majority. The movement is spreading with extraordinary rapidity. Organization is proceeding in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In Ohio 30,000 farmers are already organized, and it is predicted that theie will be 300,000 before the close of the year. The demand is for more circulating medium, lower taxation, tariff reduction and restriction of corporate powers. The agitation\ and discontent have been reinforced by bad, crops, unpropitious seasons, debts and low prices. An element that cannot be over| looked is the dull, brutal and vulgar inso[lence and ostentation of the millionaires. They are vulnerable. They have not been as sagacious in the use of wealth as they have on its acqusition. On this particular phase of the question much might be skid, for it would be idle to deny that a fool with $1,000,000 is more harmful than a fool with nothing but poverty to back up his folly. When the dav of rigid reckoning comes it will be seen that the existing clique of sordid, silly and ambitious millionaires is suggestively close to the schemers and tricksters who are playing upon the passions of the poor. I thought at one time tliat the coalition of the West and South was inevitable, but this does not seem likely to occur. The race question and its incidentals insure the solidity of the South, and its identity with the Democracy as long as the present policy of the Republican party continues. It is to a dim and unacknowledged perception of this perhaps that the apathy ind indifference of Western constituencies to the election bill is attributable. The readjustment of )ur political forces will affect Democrats as well as Republicans. Both parties will be compelled to rectify their frontiers. In Ireland, Germany und Russia, similar agitation exists, but the menace is not so appalling. Society is stratified. There are monarchies, dynasties, standing armies, hereditary establishments, avocations affording definite and formidable obstacles and barriers to disorder. But here every individual is alert and mobile, and armed with the ballot?a terrible projectile if there is behind it an impelling force of hunger, poverty, anger and desperation. It is difficult for the average well to do man to realize the envy which possesses the Western settler who watches the magnificently equipped and gorgeous train roll by his mortgaged land. He is without means to feed his family and he is crushed to the earth by poverty. The railroad passes over his land and makes money from his fellow farmers. It is the emblem of prosperity and wealth. He realizes that he is a factor in the wealth of the road, yet he is practically starving for bread,. He has discovered that the Declaration of Independence, Yankee Doodle, the Fourth of July, the Constitution of the United States and Universal Suffrage, have not abolished poverty nor resulted in social fraternity and the equal diflXision of wealth, and the burdens, benefits and privileges of society. Among the farmers, some of extreme views are of course to lie found. There are some who openly advocate the repudiation of debts, public and pr.vate, fraternal ism in government and the forcible redistribution of property, but the number is small yet, though increasing rather than diminishing. Of course there are rogues, Scapins, Robert Macairs, Jeremy Diddlers and Micawbers among them. Many of the schemes and projects are grotesque, chimerical, gimcrack; but in the main they are the serious efforts of sincere, honest and patriotic men?often without education or discipline?misled sometimes by sinister and incendiary appeals, to solve the social and political problems of the nineteenth century. The agricultural warehouse sub-treasury scheme and loaning of irredeemable fiat money on real estate security, have a few adherents thus far among the masses of the people, even among those who have been unfortunate and are in distress. Perceiving the accelerated tendency of political power to concentrate in few hands, and the enormous aggregation of wealth by individuals, so that inequalities are greater in democracy than in a despotism, they are considering the question in a committee of the whole. They nu>y report progress and ask leave to sit again, or they may rise and order the previous question, if there is any fillibustering. The results cannot be foretold. The problem is as old as humanity, but it has never arisen under the same conditions before, so there are 110 precedents. They had s'.milar troubles in Sparta a good many years ago, and Lycurgus divide! up all the real estate and parceled it out among the citizens. The patricians and pleb'ans of Rome had the same difficulty, and the plcbians came out ahead. Rut there are no precedents in history, which is said to repeat itself, that apply here, because this is the first time that the experiment of popular self-government, the sovereignty of the people, has been tried. I I am not a pessimist nor a ringer of an j alarm bell at midnight, but there are many; indications of the approach of structural, if I not organic, changes in our system. Thut j they will be accompanied by violent and fatal! catastrophes is unlikely. These are unneces sary.

Referring to the work 1 already done by the chief engineer, Mr. R. I A. Bowie, The Knoxville Journal says that; the most difficult part of the route has been overcome by "an engineering skill compared 1 with which that displayed in surmounting 1 the Blue Ridge by the Western North Caroli-1 | na railroad will be insignificant." From the ' point where the survey reaches the foot of \ j the mountain, to the top of the mountain, is I i an actual distance by the nearest possible! j route of about three miles, but to cover this' ! distance requires an ascent of about 500 feet. To bring the grade within eighty feet to the i mile the road winds to the distance of about! six and one-half miles. It not only makes loops by crossing its own track, but in one place makes a double loop by crossing a ra viuc on a proposed high trestle towering over | two tracks below, at a distance above the | lowest one of about sixty or seventy feet? something unknown in the construction of any railroad line in the world. In this way the top of the mountain is reached by a comparatively easy grade, and with only three small tunnels, the largest not over one hundred yards in length. The road, it is said, . can be constructed cheaply, and it is estima- j ted that-on all parts trains, can safely make forty miles per hour.-Manufacturers' Record, j How to Make a Good Wife Unhappy.? j Bee your wife as seldom as possible. If she j is warm-hearted and cheerful in t emper, or j if after a day's or a week's absence, she j meets you with a smiling face and in an af- j fectionate manner, be sure to look coldly j upan her and answer her with monosyllables. J If she forces back her tears, and is resolved j to look cheerful, sit down and gape in her l pnjsence till she is fully convinced of your ] indifference. Never think you have anything to do to make her happy, but that her hap- j piness is to flow from gratifying your ca- j prices; and when she has done all a woman i can do, be sure you do not appear gratified. J Never take an interest in any of her pur- i suits; and if she asks your advice, make her J feel that she is troublesome and impertinent, i [f she attempts to rally you good humoredly j en any of your peculiarities, never join in i the laugh, but frown her into silence. If she j bas faults (which, without doubt, she will i have, and perhaps be ignorant of), never at- { tempt with kindness to correct them, but continually obtrude upon her ears: "What a / wnnd wife Mr. Smith has!" "How happy swvv Mr. Smith in with hifi wife!" "Any man would be happy with such a wi !e !" In company, never seem to ltnow yoiv have a wife ; treat all her remarks with indifference, and be very affable and complaisan t to every other lady. If you follow these <lirections, you biay be certain of an obedient and heart- J broken wife.?N. Y. Ledger. j I "And Obey."?A Scotch clergyman, while going through a village, was requested to offi- l ciate at a marriage, in the absence of a par- ] ish minister. Just as be had tx)ld the bride- { groom to love and honor his wife, the man i inteijected the words "and obey." The clergyman, surprised, did not; heed the proposed amendment. He was going on with the service, when the f^room again interposed with emphasis: "Ah, and obey, sir?love, honor and obey, ye ken!" A few years afterwards the clergyman met the hero of the wedding incident. "D'ye J mind, sir, yon day, when ye married me, and when I wad insis t upon vowing to obey my wife ? Weel, ye may now see that I was in the richt. Whether ye would or no, I hae obeyed her; and behold, I am now the only man that ha? a twa story house in the hole: toun !"

It is r used in every State and Territory and is heartily 1 and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer s who has ever used ft, and they are numbered by r thousands. Practical fanners everywhere agree I that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most I profitable implement for cultivating the soil and putting in grain yet invented. It increases the u crops, saves time and saves labor. ' Tne Harrow is made of first-class material I throughout, and with proper care will do good 1 work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay 1 for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or dfsks c are made of the very best of steel, and will neither break, bend or crumble. The disks are not af- j 1 fected to any appreciable extent by rocks, and I \ the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of it land. I i The following are some of the points of supe- 11 riority possessed by the Corbin Harrow : 'a 1. It is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly 1 flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven surfaces). i 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are t independent of each other?either can fit or fol- e low an inequality without disturbing the other, c 3. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes t and anti-friction balls. 1 4. It is the only Harrow that has a suecessftil c Seeder Attachment. 5. It is the only combined Harrow and Seeder f that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a t drill. 6. The Corbin is unequaled for lightness of s draft and power as a pulverizer. c GARRY IRON ROC Manufactures all kinds of IRON ROOFING, MftSgk CRIKPID ANE CORRUGATED SIDIXO, mi Iron Tile or Shingle, MKmJXmmkm EIRE PROOF DOORS, SHUTTERS, AC., THE LARGEST MANUFACTURERS 01 pSr Orders received by L.
