Grandfather Lickshinglc broke the silence yesterday'evening as follows : "I tell you what it is. children, there's ( no u-c talkie'. The newspaper men of to- I day can't sling ink with their grandfathers. | ' They're degeneratin'. This country sees J no graphic writin' like it did when your , grandfather was ridin* the editorial tripod ] like a .viteh astride the gale. 1 know of ' no place that nHerds a butter field for dt>scriptivc writin' than these very oil rcgious. Why, the tires you have hoard of can't be beat, cxceptiu' of course, beyond the tomb. When 1 hear of one of these ^cullagralions j jus\. ache to take my pen in hand an do- j scribe it in my own graphic style." Grandfather closed his eyes, swayed to and fro on his easy chair, while his face j glowed with enthusiasm. lie sectncd t??be j in a transport of joy. "Jlring forth n.y good gray (juill,'' he I said, "and lot me paint the bnrnin' town." | One of the children said ha thought grandfather was going to have a fit; father said he was onlv in tho ^ 1 'I( in his imagination. at a salary of a thousand .1 dollars a we. k, but would soon be all right. " l is night Fire ! fire ! fire ! ' said grand- ! father, rapidly tracing a sheet of imaginary paper with a gooao ipiiil of the mind.? ' Fire! fire ! lirw ! and the affrighted winds took up the cry. The fire-fiend, with his sword of thinwas seen leapiu' from the ^ back window of a bake siiop. brcatbin' j smoke and forked lightin' from his nostrils. ; In an instant the sleepin' city was out on 1 the floor harkin' its shins on chairs and i | things in a mad hunt after its pantaloons. llu?h ! hark ! T|ic fire-fiend rushes on and on like a war-horse, leavin' destruction in Tiis trail. Look ! he scales the side of yon , corner grocery, even as aTcitchen-maid would scale a fish, an' with his fiery, forked tongue, i licks the hungry holocaust that he is, ho is , lickcn' up the sign, 'Salt mackerel, bacon, Hour, feed an' provisions,' as if he hadn't tasted a bite for a mouth. See hiui leap to ikr-eirret of ft?v, lady'scbower. an' gorge himself upon the ginger broad work of the cornices. Now he hurls his h oly through the windows of yonder residence, ransacks tne premises an' escapes like a rocket I through the roof. lie turns saniersaults | from housetop to housetop, knocks orcr , chimney p<?ts. dances a jig on the hot shingles, like tlse bey on the bumiii' dock, an* without as inu-h as a '1 >k out behind' rains a shower of sparks up mi (ho heads of the panic stricken populace ]?ut see hint now! He spits upon his calloused hands an' scouts up the libeity polo like a eat up an apple tree. Up ! up! up ! Higher ! higher high cr ! 11 ichor, and yet higher ! 11 i?li? r than r? bad! Higher than the price of butter, j until now wi.th one fiery foot he tiptoes it 1 upon the topmost tip lite while ho fiings I hi-- anus of ilainc about bint like a village ' luvyer making a Fourth of July oration. N or he places a 11111;i>b to his nose, an' with bis extended finders describes a circle in tltc face of the man in tiic moon, while ho laps his forked tongue about the American (lag. an' swallows it before a loyal poo- 1 pl<- can shoot him on the. spot."?Oil C'i/i/ ! /> rrirf:. The comfort of stock is greatly promoted by good shelter. How dilfercnt the sleek and con'ented cattle and sheep are in awel protected barnyard from the poor, roughhaired, pinched up stock in an open field. On entering such a yard, the first thought is, how comfortable the creatures look.? Think also of the economy. It may cost something to put up sheds an I high tight l fences, but iu the long run it costs more to feed half starved cattle. Ilefore any nnij uials can be fattened, a certain amount of ; food must ho expended in keeping them | warm. If healthy cattle and shefo !...? ? I as much food as they can eat, they will per J haps ?;o through the winter in about as I good health as they couid if well hou- d. even though they be expend to all the rigors of the climate, but the amount of fodder they will consume is enormous and if they are not thrifty at the start, or get short of fodder, it will go hard with theui Cows w:ll abort their calves, sluvp v. i; die. j the lambs will b- born dead. at. . < er ' are almost sure t loll.nv ?\\ . t I Country (! iithnmn.

The change in sentiment has not been brought about by any new method in treatment, nor baa there boon a perceptible enlargement in the number ?>f those now living who can claim that they have had and recovered from this disease ; but the evidence upon which the resrision in opinion is based is even more eonrtusive than that which could by any possibility be obtained from either of these two sources. It is simply this, that post mortem examinations have revealed the fact that pulir.onarr phthisis is a complaint of much greater frequency than has been commonly supposed, and that multitudes of pcopli have had tho disease, and Lave been practically cured of it, who have never so much as suspected the cause of their illness. In a series of examinations, made some time since at the hospital at Edinburgh, it was found that the Inugs of not less than one-third of these who died when aver 40 years of age were in a condition I ? v ? [iiiii count do accounted for in no other tray '.ban by the supposition that at some period in their lives consumption had existed, and ind afterward been cheeked or cured. Porions of the luugs had b sen destroyed, but lie cavities formed bad been healed by conraction and adhesion of their walls, or the disintegrated substance had been shut in by the formation of librous tissue. In the records of post mortem examinations at the Saltpctricre Hospital, at Paris, a similar experience is found, except that in this ease the ago was advanced to GO years and over, tud of this class more than one-half wcro shown to have suffered from consumption it pome period in their lives. There may be nothing new iu this to well-informed medical men, but to the non-professional reader llie information cannot fail to be reassuring. The disease is to a great extent hereditary, and there arc probably thousands of people in this city who every now and then arc visit.u by the gloomy thought that they arc liable at any time to fall victims to this deadly inheritance. If those can be made to believe that they have already passed ? -' uirougn me ordeal, a supposition which, in the majority of eases, would probably bo a true one. no slight addition wi'l be uindc to the sum total of human happiness.? ) TtWS. X K> i IU> ] >1 SKItA NCI 11S KM KNT ? Wash ington, Puccnibwr 10.? Some of the loaders of the io-publican party arc of opinion that the outrage business cannot he made a telling issue in the next Presidential campaign. It i? a more matter of sentiment, they say. and does not come home to the people as practical issues always do. They admit Unit if the white people arc to control the Southern States, they must also, to a very large degree, control the negro vote. The votes of the ignorant and dependent, classes are always more or loss controlled by the wealthy and intelligent portion of tho population. Kailroud corporations can and do dictate to their employees. So do mill own-' ers in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.? lint there is ;> practical question growing out of the Southern outrages, say these men, which will claim the attention of the V ...I -if - - ?i i iici n pmmc mind, ami that is the question of representation. The South has twenty representatives based on negro votes, if these votes are to count for uothing, save to add representation to the South, then tho North will demand that something he done. The North pays the great proportion of taxes, and it will not have its money voted away to its disadvantage by thesc twenty additional representatives, which in effect give the South the control of the government. The reply to this by Sontheru men is : "You amended the constitution, and imposed negro suffrage upon us, nnd wo have suffered immeasurable evils thereby. Now that the advantage is to be reaped by us, you want to undo what you have done.? Wt had no choice in the matter, hut had to take a very large proportion : evil to get a little good, and we mean ? hold on . to that lit'le."
