SeNMlon of the LegrlMlatnre?
The Stay Liiw-Ooveruur Tillman
?Approval of Preu nod Banner.
Great tack of funds, low price of cotton
short crop*, destructive overflows, tornadoes
nod the inveterate cry, as usual, of "bard
times" hnve brought about a consternation
among the people. Tbey are on the lookout
tor a haven to anchor their cargo of dlversl
fled troubles.
Congress has been called In extra cession tc
bring about an amellaratlon of Mflnlrs. Tb<
combined Intellect ot Uncle Sam Is at work,
agreeing mid disagreeing here ? little and
there a little, as to tbe beat mode or expedl
ent of relieving the great mas* of the people
of their load of agonizing Imaginary troubles.
Almost two month* have been spent In
elaborate dlBocuKstou on the inuch-vexed-puzzilng
silver question or the Stierman Act.
(which Is supposed to be the ruling trouble]
and nothing available or a substantial character
has been arrived at or accomplished.
Much fine-spun argument has been elicited.
Muob forensic and oratorical talent has been
displayed. Much diversity of sentiment or
opinion has been manifested,and lo, multum
bonum pro bono publico Is lagging In lbs
rear, lying dormant, as it were, secreted in
ibe womb or roturuy.
l'be party that has suspended business and
calculating a betterment Id their silver mat'
ters to be brought about by Congrers, I predict,
Is going to be badly "led." "Something
to sell" will come nearer of sol vlnn our financial
problem, relieve our monetary trouble,
than any actor Congress.
As I he honorable body is tardy or Dot likely
to produce any good result*, despair Is emitting
a few distuned characters to resort to
some other measure and are appealing to the
Chler Magistrate or the Com moo wealth of the
State to convene the minor "powers that be"
In extra session to try their hand Id devising
some method to blaze out a way la which ex
tricatton will be accessible. 1 ignore (be
idea 01 an extra session of the Legislature. I
don't think an emergency has arlxen In the
State or a sufficient cause, demanding extra
Legislation.
'loo inuclt law-making Is already an existing
sore evil. Would that I had the wisdom
of Socrates and the eloquence or Demos
mene*, i kvuiu uhuk iucm >u uv?i wuvlnce
the people of Ibis all-Import nut laol.
B.mnlai or.perhaps, still better, quadreunlal
sessions would be adequately sulHcleut. I am
at a lost to conceive any good results tbat
would accrue from an extra meeting of the
Legislature, but very easily can see that additions!
welulit would be added to the burden
of taxation. If the members received a fixed
salary, I doo't suppose, It would mutter materially.
Co agrees can bold extra sessions
without adding extra cost to the people's taxat
Ion?tbat machine is run by salaried functionaries.
Quite different in the State Legislature.
That body is manipulated by members
drawing tnun tbe Stale Trea?ury sUp**ud? at
the rate of five dollars per diem. 1 notice
Bonne scared up debtors, who, doubtless, are
not very scrupulously curing whether their
boneKt obligations are liquidated or not,
nluninmrlnu fnp thp pnorlmfiit of a StaV law.
They Imagine, I presume, that such a law
would effect Immediate relief; yea, bring
salvxtion to the couDtry. The existence o;
such a law might afford tempory rest, but the
evil day would be bound to come sooner or
later with redoubled vengeauce. In my opinion,
It would eventually work more bardah
I pa to debtors than real benefit. It would
also have a tendency to destroy the credit
system which I regard aR of paramount Importance?an
Indispensable necessity to ttie
great mam of the people.
1 don't ibink we need another law to screen
rascality. We have the Homestead Act that
has long ago outlived Its days of usefulness,
that gives refnge and encourages rascality In
no small degree. It Is a fortification that
defies honesty to batter down its stronghold.
Few and tar between are the persons in this
country who bave an overplus of this world's
good* that onn't claim protection under the
n<-me?tead provisions. The majority can
contract debts, and If evil disposed, can leu
their creditors when demands are made,
they "can mke the homestead."
Poor comfort to an honest creditor. Let ub
have no more such abominable and obnoxious
law, tnat will foster and uphold dishonesty,
but rather combat for the one exlaliog
to be nullified and let honesty exercise a fail
swiiy u itrammeled.
Doubt lens, money matters are going to be
prrtty tight, and a shortage, more or less,
may occur, but let every debtor practice the
clOHext economy und strain every nerve to
meet his honest duet as near as possible.
Wherever a disposition and a willingness are
manifested by a debtor to comply with his
honest obligations, the creditor, In nine cases
out of ten will, exercise leniency and indulgence.
Staying debts don't diminish, but
mogutfles them. Let every year shoulder Its
owu Indebtedness as near as possible, as we
have no assurance or certainty that another
/ no will Ko mr\pa fruitful
I repose the utmost bonfldence to our illustrious
and much uncalled-for abused Governor
and that be will continue to reign for the
good of the people, but, il ever has entertained
an lden of h slivy luw or blockade, tbat
be will reconsider this serious matter and be
per>uaded of It* uon-utlllty.
lfy way of dlsrr-s?lon, allow the writer, Mr.
Editor, a woid In your behalf. I commend
your stubborn advocacy of the Dispensary
Act. You certainly are entitled to much credit
In Its behalf. I admire your pluck and
persistency In upholdluga good law, no matter
from what source It emanated or originated.
You ure quite different In this particular
from your allied contemporles.

The farmers are as busy as possible picking
the crop which, under the recent hot sun, ban fl !
opened to an extent not usual for this seauon
ol tbe year. la
Although every energy has been expended Cc
in gathering tbe crop, the fields are white ro
with the staple, and as no rain has fallen In 1
this county lor many da)8, tbe nam- sc
pie is excellent, and wben ginDed brings wl
the lop of the market, about ? 1-2 cents, y?
When the rain oomes and tbe staple is tinged
the cotton now open will be iujured to some th
extent. Tdls fact accounts for tbe greatde
mand for cotton pickers In every field. ns
In all directions we have reports to theef- ou
feet tiiat tbe storm whipped out or otherwise pli
destroyed the August crop, and for this re a- erj
sou t>e concurrent oplnlou of all Is, that the
crop '48 from twenty u> twenty-five per cent, lai
she ?. of a lull crop. co
/'tie usual price which Js paid for picking cr
cotton in thiscouniy is40cents per hundred re
pounds, though some fanners are offering on- ro
iy 86 cents per hundred pounds. Others J
again wlioare impressed with tbe importance
ot harvesting the crop oeiore tbe rains come da
are paying as much as 43 cents per hundred He
pouuus. Those wbo are ottering the higher en
price are to some extent incurring tbe dls- 1
pleasure of neighbors wbo may think that be
the lower pri. e of tbe staple should have the j
efiect of r?duclug tbe co*t of gathering, so as er
to equalize the hardship between laborer and
producer. of

tbe result Is not as satisfactory as It would be

la the C. H. & D. and Monon. between Cln
nnati, Indianapolis and Chicugo, are wltbit
doubt the "finest on eartb." These trains
ere especially built by tbe Pullman Cominy
for tbl? service, and embrace every lmrovement.
Their magnificent coaches luxuouh
smoking cars, superb sleepers, observaon
cars, compartment sleepers cars and uuccelled

Leaving Cincinnati you pass through tbe
;autlful Miami Valley, and lor twenty-five
illes tbe double tracks run through tbe very
ont door yards of tbe finest suburban homes
i tbe country. Beyond Hamilton and up to
ldlanapolls, the line Is noted for its scenic
jenty.
A stop over at Indianapolis, the capital of
idlana, may be obtained by depositing your
cket with tbe Secretary of tbe Commercial
lub. This city Is more worthy of a visit
lan almost any other ol its size in ihe West,
id offers the greatest Inducements to travelr
and tourist. Between Indianapolis and
blcagotbe line traverses the very best agriiltural
and commercial territory, and tbe
de Is one of unparalled comfort and beauty.
Bear in mind that tbe C. H. & D. and Monon
oute trains all run via Uurslde Crossing,
ora which point the Illinois Central suburin
trains run direct to tbe World's Flar
rounds every moment. At Englewood con;ctlon
Is made with the electric cars, which
in every five minutes to the grounds, but
e recommend all person* to go directly into
le Dearborn Station, which Is located in the

Honey improves with age.
The orchard is a good place for the
ee-hives.
Every farmer should have a few coluies
of bees.
Chaff makes excellent beddiug for
Ither box or narrow stalls.
To make bees pay, choose a place
rhere there is plenty of shadrt, w ater
nd honey.
When colts are six weeks old, give
hem bran and ground out?, and at
lie same time give them lessons in
riuking.
Be sure when yon thresh your wheat
[> stack the straw so that it will turn
fater; then you will have one cow
omfort in plenty next winter.
After the honey season is over, take
way most of the honey from the bees,
t) that they will not rear a gieal numer
of bees that will be consumers
?nly.
Be on the alert for blackleg in the
earliugs and calves, and if it does apear
be ready to treat it on first sympoms.
Have a nupply of saltpeter
within reach and lookout for overjeding.
Tf von have manure irutters behind
he cow house wheut "chaff makes a
lue absorbent. If you have uo better
Be for the chuff, and can .store it
/here it will keep dry, do so and use
t next winter.
A box stall is the most comfortable
fay in which a cow can be fastened
11 the stable; it is only a question of
irateost; cau you aflord it? Next to
be box stall comes the chain or rope
listening.
All improvements have to be bj
low degres and in full accord with
he natural surroundings. The farm
lock is always equal to but never beterthan
the pasturage and care given
iy the farm and farmer .
The Krupp exhibit at the World's
i'air is said to be the most expensive
ne in the Exposition. It is daily
isited by throngs of curious spectaors.
The central attraction is the

A NHfegnnrd Agniniit Breaking Down. {
f
Tl?lu la a aoaai\n nf til A VP?r when
[ many people "break down," as the
saying is. Feelings of irresistible lanl
guor overtake them. They are feverish
and sleepy irritable, and finally
_ their strength gives way and they are
0 prostrated with sickness.
One of the best safeguards against
this downward tendency is a plenty of
. sleep. Aud the sleep in order that it
may have its full effect as "tired nas
ture's sweet restorer," should be taken
t at seasonable hours. It is an old adage
that "one hour's sleep before mida
night is worth two after it." ? New
York Ledger.
[ Here is a good story. A certain min!of-t?r

mentioned how he had seen a brass i
monkey in his town set up in a store <
with a cigar in its mouth. The cigar |
>' was lighted, and by machinery the
" monkey cold draw the smoke from the
" cigar and puff it out again. The
P works stopped on one occasion, and j
the monkey was taken apart to dis- '
cover the cause, when the works were j
found to be clogged and in a filthy con- 1
dition. The moral was drawn by the <
i preacher thus: "If tobacco smoke i
r will stop the works of a brass monkey, <
e what will it do for you ?" Let our <

A bunt Little Tongae*. .!
Opinions alter with the times, and \
nany a law strictly enforced in the
lome circle half a century ago has
o-day been cast aside as an old-fash> ti
oned or even mistaken rule. The - i
Drim caution, "Children should be
ieen but not heard," has nearly passed >
uto disuse, and perhaps it isouite as Jo
well. But for one thing, opinions TSr ^>
led even in the sterner past as to the- . ||
uat moHinH nf fralnlno /a* (ha tahltt . . 2s
We can distinctly recall the case of r jfl
>ne family where it was forbidden the . %
lttle people to speak while at their '
ueals, except to ask for what they
wanted. There were frequently guests
it the table, and it was thought improper
to have the conversation shared
n to any extent by children.
Opposed to this was another family , \-a|
arhere the parents were eqoaliy intefigent,
but who held that' interconnects
ihould be unrestricted at the_;feAnj|r. .?
ward. It was thought to be just
ilace for interchange of ideas, a relation
of such events as might be of
nterest.or affording excellent oppoar- \.;|j
unity for discussing the sermon, the '
:oncert, or even the latest party;- ;,V^a
Perhaps only two facts need be re- -'v|a
sorded concerning the children of theae . %
lifferent households in later years. v*
rhey grew to manhood and woman- a
lood equally well equipped to preside -".I
vith grace tind ease at tablfes of their M
>wu. But the children who were 1
ree to share the converse of the meal
etainea a pieasanter remembrance or >_-a
lours spent at the table In their childlood
days t aan those who were subect
to the rule of silence.
D>?nt'i for Women.
Dorothy Maddox in the Philadel- A
>hia Inquirer gives the following hints
o her sex:
Don't get confidential. No woman reiver
gave her family affairs into an- ^
?ther woman's keeping, that she did ;
lot live to see the folly of so doing.
Don't tell a woman how thin or how
tout she is growing. Most women
oathe either extreme.
Don't let your curiosity prompt you * --39
o ask embarrassing questions about 7lair
and complexion. This is the
ime of the year when coiffure and
ikin cannot stand too close criticism.' ' j
Don't discuss religion, politics, Or
he divorce court, unless you are poet- ji
id as to the inner life of your liseners.
Don't tell a sister that she looks as ?;
roungasher daughter. This implies
lurprise that she has succeeded in
sheating Father Time of his just per(uisites.
Summing it all up in a nutshell, if
rou would woo and win Mends, if
fou would foster tenderness of heart ?
tnd refinement of soul, cultivate tact
\h, it is of all links the most perfect
- r :
u lurgiug luve ur ineuusuip ictwre.
Sleep as a Medicine.?The cry for ... J
rest has always been louder than the .
jry food. Not that it is more impor;aut,
but it is often harder to obtain,
rhe best rest comes from souDd sleep.
Of two men or women, otherwise
jqual, the one who sleeps the best will
be the most moral, healthy and effljient.
Sleep will do much to cure ' r-j
Irritability of temper, peevishness and
uneasiness. It will restore to vigor an
sverworked brain. It will build up
ind make strong a weary body. It - vf
will cure a headache. Indeed, we
might make a long list of nervous and
ather maladies that sleep will cure.
The cure of sleeplessness requires a
3lean, good bed, sufficient exercise to *
produce weariness, pleasant occupation;
good air and not too warm a
room, a clear conscience, and avoidance
of stimulants and narcotics.
For those who are-overworked, hag
jard and nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption of
such habits as shall secure sleep;
5therwise, life will be short, and what
there is of it sadly imperfect.
As we mingle in society and meditate
in retirement, the query should not be,
What impressions am I making on
Ihnsft around mp fnr mvnplf? hut.
What am I leading them to think ot
Christ and His service? He has been
molding our hearts with love. Have
tve so yielded to His transforming pow?r
as to impress others with a correct
idea of the blessedness of the religion ^
of Jesus? jt^a
