Jtumovons Department. HE DID.YT ASK. A Methodist circuit-rider, while passing through Central Indiana on horseback, came one day to a swollen stream. While hesitating whether or not to venture into its raging waters, he spied a native seated on the opposite bank ; thinking to get some information, he hailed him, and the following dialogue ensued: "Hello, over there!" "Hello, yourself!" was the answer. "Is this stream fordable ?" "Sometimes it is, an' sometimes it taint." "How is it to-day ?" "Putty well, I guess. I heven't heard it complainin' enny. "You don't understand me, my friend. I mean can I ford it now ?" "Kin if you want tc; I hev no objections." "Well, is it safe?" "Is what safe?" "The water." "It's a thunderin' sight safer'n red licker." "Do you think my horse could carry me over?" "I 'low I could tell better after I've seed him try it." "My friend," said the traveler, a little out of patience at this sort of badgering, "you certainly ought to be able to tell me what I want to know. Do you live along this stream ?" "No, I don't, you goggle-eyed old tramp, you. Think I'm a shitepoke an' live in the crick, do you ? If I had a rock I'd knock you offen that critter." "My friend," the minister hastened to explain, "I meant no offense. What I intended to ask was, do you live in this neighborhood ?" "Oh, that's a nuther thing," answered t.hft Hoosier. "Yes. I live 'bout a mile on yan side o' the crick," pointing towards the side on which his interlocutor stood. "Well, if I undertake to cross over will you lend me a hand if I get into trouble?" "Don't see but what I would." "All right, then, I'll try it." The minister urged his horse into the water, and a minute later had reached the opposite side safe and sound but dripping wet. As his horse scrambled up the opposite bank he said to the Hoosier: "I should think you'd have a bridge over this stream here." "Well, I dunno," replied the Hoosier, coolly, "seein' as there's one only 'bout half a mile up stream from here an' a nuther'n less'n a quarter jess below us. It would be stickin' 'em in ruther thick, I'm thinkin': 'sides we hain't got our new jail and court-house paid fer yit." "What!" cried the water-soaked traveler, "do you mean to say that by riding a quarter of a mile down the stream I could have found a good bridge ?" "Yes, I 'low you'd a found it there, fer I crossed it myself 'bout an hour ago." "Why didn't you tell me that before I swam my horse over?" asked the now thoroughly disgusted minister. "Well," answered the native, "you j seemed so durned anxious ter find out TvHot.hAr vnn pnnld fnrd the crick or not that I didn't 'spose you'd go to the bridge if I did tell you; 'sides you didn't ask me nohow. Yer jess like lots o' fellers I've met afore, that kin ask more fool questions in er minute than a jestus of the peace could answer in a week. If I wuz you, stranger," he continued, "I'd kinder be movin'; it's two miles to the next house, but they'll probably take you in an' give j you some dry clothes an' a good supper. I As fer me, I've got some mink traps sot up the crick here an' I'll have to be shovin' | erlong. Nex' time you come this way you'd better take the bridge." SUCH STRANGE FOLKS. ' Anthony Phillips is a well known citizen of Little Rock. He is something of a politician, having at different times worked with the Democraticand Republican parties; but his chief distinction is that he is the blackest negro in Arkansaw. The other day Anthony went into a life inRiiranna nffiee and asked to see the man who paid out the money. "Wh?.t do you want?" the manager asked. "I want er thousand dollars," the negro answered. "Erbout three months ergo I had my wife's life insured in this company an' now I want my money, fur de lady is done dead. Yere's de papers, yere da is, sah." "What was the matter with her?" the manager asked. "Gotdrownded, sah; was down in de country an' fell offen er foot-log inter de water an' was drownded ez dead ez er mackerel." "Did anybody see her when she fell in ?" "Yas, little gal seed her; oh, she fell in all right, an' now ef you'll jest count me out er thousand dollars I'll be mighty 'bliged ter you. Yas, fell in all right enough." "Did the coroner hold an inquest over her?" the manager asked. ' "N-n-n-no, sah, didn't." "Why?" "Wall, sah, me an' dat mau doan speak to one er nuder. We ain't on de same quality er tall now, sah. Wife she got mad wid him some time ergo an' den me an' him fell out, an, when my wife wuz tuck outen de bayou, dead and gone, w'y I didn' think it wuz jest de right thing ter hab dat coroner holdin' his proceeding over her." "So you buried her without the coroner being notified." "Yas, sah, dat's whut we done?'zackly whut we done under de 'zisting sarcumstances, sah. Yas, we done dat." "Where did you bury her?" "Huh?oh, whar did we bury her?" "That's what I asked." "Yas, tibby sho': We sent her 'way off yanderwhar her sister libes, sah. Uster ter say dat w'en she died she wanted ter be buried 'way off yander, caze sne tuck er likin' ter dat country." "What is the name of the place ?" "Oh, it's er little bit o 're place, sah; 'tain't ez big es Argentry jes' ercross de ribber yere. Yas, mighty little, no-'count kind o' er place?so little dat you wouldn' know it ef you wuz ter see it, sah." "I don't care anything about the size. What's the name ?" "Oak Bluff is de name o' de place, ef dat's whut you wanter know. 'Way off yandar an' er small place, too." "Well, no matter how far nor how small. We'll send a man out there to dig j her up and bring her back here before we pay you, but mind you, if she can't be found, we'll have you sent to the penitentiary for ten years." "Oh, well, now, ef dat's de way you do business you neenter send atter de lady. Jes' let de blame money go. I 'spize ter hab dealin's wid sich strange folks." UNSHIPPING HIS RUDDER. A veteran tar, who had served many years in the capacity of boatswain, on getting past exertion was appointed by his commander, in grateful memory of his former conduct, a kind of sub-gardener at his country seat near Philadelphia. Jack had not long been in possession of his new post, when he perceived every morning on walking over the garden that several of the beds were pawed about and the borders destroyed, indicating by their marks the stealthy visits of some canine wanderer.

V..V news to the commander, who concurred with him in his opinion as to its cause, and advised him to go to the garden a few hours earlier in the morning, and give the intruder a warm welcome. Jack accordingly did so. Hiding himself in the shrubbery, he soon espied a long, lean dog, between a pointer and a mastiff, spring upon the garden wall, and jumping into the garden begin running about and ex- i ploring, with a degree of activity and keenness, the depth of a strawberry bed. Jack watched his opportunity, and at the moment the dog had burrowed his head out of sight in leaves, the tar stole behind him with a spade, and at a blow struck off his tail; the dog sprang over the garden wall again, yelping. Some time after, when the commander came into the garden Jack accosted him. "All right, your Honor; we were boarded by a dog, sure enough, of a long, sharp, sailing build, rather white about the bows and dark in the mid ship." "And what did you do with him, Jack?" "I prevented his finding his way back here any more." "You did not kill him, Jack!" "0 no ; I laid to upon the lookout there in the shrubbery, aud when I seen him L dowse his bows in the strawberry bed I P dropped softly astern, and with this here tool unshipped his rudder?that's all." The dog never came back to trouble Jack. t ptjp* Teacher?Tommy, what is the half of eight? Pupil?Sideways or top? Teacher?What do you mean ?

Mr. Joe Logan was one of Western York's ehining lights in his day. Although as in Pete Westmoreland's case, I have given a partial account of his history, still there are several incidents that might be spoken of in this connection. My readers will remember that Uncle Joe had a peculiar twist of the tongue that gave his words a singular sound as, "Jish you shee, shir, I'm old Joe Logan, and hesh aschmart old animil." One time he came to old Uncle Billy Strain's quite drunk. Lige Aikins and Tom Lanier had him in charge. Lige was sober, but Tom wasn't much better off than Uncle Joe was. They had been at old Johnny Bolin's log rolling, and all such ; gatherings afforded an opportunity for a general drunk. Old man Strain had no time for drunken persons and didn't like to entertain him in that condition. But Lige put up such a plea for his "fellowman," as he called him, that the old man couldn't resist. Rolling from one side tc the other with Lige and Tom?one under each arm. old man Logan said : "You know me, shir?" "Oh! yis, yis, I know you, I know," replied Mr. Strain, in his native Irish dialect. "Who ish it?" "It's Joe Logan, Joe Logan." "Am I schmart or not?" "Not very, not very, getting drunk and making sich a brute ol yours el'." "You shee, shir, Jedge O'Neal ish the schmartest man in the Schtateol Schouth Caroliner, Tom Docking ish next, and then old Joe Logan ish next. George Williams is very schmart, but he is a long ways behind old Joe Logan in shensh.': It happened that Mr. Strain had just moved that day to Maj. Whitesides's place, and old man Logan would look around and say, "You ain't moved yit." "Oh! yis, yis, moved to-day," said Mr. Strain. Old Mr. Logan bore the nickname ol "Prose," generally called "Pro. Logan.' Thiswassomeof Jackey Hemphill's work I suppose, starting this name. At Ben Childere's wheat harvest Henry Price undertook to carry Uncle Joe acrost Bullock's creek on his back because the old man was too tight to walk the log. Whec Henry got to the deepest part of the stream he fell down and went under, head and ears, and took Uncle Joe with him. Thii sport gave the old man a lasting grudge against Henry that he never dismissed, Henry was killed at the battle of Williamsburg, Va., May 5, 1862. 1 will now dismiss the foibles and look at the virtues of Mr. Logan, who has already figured extensively in these reminiscences. With such exceptions as Mr, Eddie Chambers, who was pre-eminently above the average collegian in mathematics (and from whom the writer gathered his little knowledge of that science) Mr. Logan was a fair accountant and his work was considered as authority in this branch of learning. He could draw up almost ? >" h??#l Af a larva 1 I natmmpnHp prftVf auj aiuu ui ** a6?i tuuw.?v?.. - each of his children a good scholastic education, and never lost sight of the fact that "It is the mind that makes the man." Had his life and ability pressed him on for high and special honors, there is no telling what he would have attained in this direction. As a descendant of Revolutionary ancestry, his life and career began in the maiden days of the republic, when men of brains and character were much needed to further the cause for which unborn millions would rise and call them blessed. Notwithstanding his seasons ol debauchery, he never lost sight of the high and noble aims of life; and no man had a higher and nobler conception of what a man or woman ought to be than he had. His honor and integrity were above reEroach, and he lived and moved in the umbler sphere of life. I am unprepared to say anything about his religious belief, but suppose he was a Baptist if he was anything. I lost sight of him at the commencement of the war, when I entered the army. His feeblt limbs, tottering under the weight ol years, gave down while that eventful and historic struggle was going on, and mother earth called him to her bosom. Yet he left behind him a record that he was the noblest work of God?an honest man. j. l. s. THE CAUSES THAT LED TO THE ALLIANCE. A revolution isalwaysattended with loss and personal sacrifice. Even a genuine reform has its inconveniences. The alii ance movement is a reiorm umi pttnutie: of the nature of a revolution. The farmers who have gone into this movement know that they will have to'make some sacrifices before they attain desired results. They are prepared to endure some losses and inconveniences in order that they may be recognized as intelligent factors in the world's industrial problem. Since the war they feel that they have been as much oppressed as were the Hebrews in Egypt. Their task-masters were austere men reaping where they sowed not. Liens and mortgages with supplies at an enormous per cent, have bound them hand and foot. The winds and storms and floods seemed to work against them. Late frosci in the spring ana early frosts in the fall brought want aud poverty to their doors. They labored year after year and all had to go to the factor in the city or the merchant in the town. Their struggle has been a hard one for the last twenty-five years. They have been cast down and not without cause. They compared their condition with that of their factors and the middlemen and came to the conclusion that the farmers had a hard road to travel. Each one stood alone. There could be no concert of action. The individual farmer had no voice in the sale of his products. He could not sample, weigh or grade his own cotton. He had to take just what he could get, because a man with two or three bales on which there was a lien did not have the courage to talk up and assert his rights. Combinations were made by purchasers of their products and those who sold supplies. All united in an effort to skin the farmer. Supplies have been sold to them at an advance of 200 to 300 pef cent, over the cash price. They have grunted and groaned under these burdens, but they were powerless to roll them off. They felt that they were losing caste. Their families were not esteemed as highly as farmers' families were half a century ago. Their sons are considered very good sort of fellows, fit to raise corn and cotton to pay off liens, but they were not considered in any sense equal to the sons of their factors and men who had grown rich on their labor. Farmers were not considered suitable for offices of honor or trust. They were not favorites of the politicians, except when elections were approaching. All these things they have felt as grievances for years, but they have been unable, for waut of organization, to formulate their complaints in words. At last the Alliance was organized and the farmers have rallied to it, hoping that through its power and influence they might have a voice that would be potent in business circles. They knew that manufacturers and professional men had their organizations. Monopolies and trusts were formed all over the country. Middlemen entered into all sorts of combinations to buy as cheap as possible and sell at the highest price they could get. All these combinations worked against the individual, whether he was.a tenant or landlord, or hired laborer. The farmer, the very foundation of our society, was standing alone. In his individual capacity he was no match for trusts and monopolists. As a sheep he was dumb before those who had shorn him to the very quick. It is no wonder they have tni-n/1 tKo A Diunno Tn miinn Qtrancrth CU 1\P1VU tUUlA.ll 4WUVV. AM VtMWM The voice of one farmer may not be heard, but when a hundred or a thousand unite and make a reasonable demand, there will be somebody to listen to them. Some sort of organization is necessary on their part, The Alliance is the best thing offered, Of course they will make some mistakes, suffer some losses, do things that they ought not to do, but they will learn experience and grow a little wiser and more circumspect. Good will come from the struggle. The sympathies of many, not engaged in farming, go out to them. The desire of the people is that the farmers may rise to a higher plane every way, and that these lessons and experiences will not only tend to their material improvement, but also to the development of all that is good and high and pure in their homes and lives.?[Spartanburg Spartan. A Highly Abtruse Problem.?An esteemed correspondent has propounded tc us a problem which involves a question in finance far too deep for our penetration, He says: "A man arrived at El Paso, Texas, with a silver dollar in his pocket, He goes into a bar-room, buys a drink and gets in change a Mexican dollar, which is worth eighty-five cents down there. He crosses the bridge into Mexico, gets a drink over there, planks down his Mexican dollar and gets in change a United States dollar, which is worth eighty-five cents over there. In this manner he crosses back and forth until he has bought $10.0.r worth of whisky, and still has his dollai in his pocket.?[Washington Post. ^inside Mtmttgs.

It is generally claimed that the most satisfactory pork is produced from pigs fattened and slaughtered before they are a year old, but lor purpostsof economy and the use of waste material, pigs are wintered and the fattening carried on after they have attained considerable size. 1 If pigs are to be fattened, it is better to , give such feed during their early growth, as well to develop the frame, make bone and give a suitable foundation upon which to build in the fattening process. Such feed may consist of skim milk, house slops, etc., with which is mixed a small quantity , of fine feed. This seems to be a suitable food for bodily development, which becomes a necessity if the best results are H psi rpri. There is a probably no better material , for fattening pork than corn meal. It is pre-eminently a fat producer, and for that reason the feeding of it should not be too heavy with young animals, unless it is mixed with albumenoid material, and rj substance for the development of a bony structure that can sustain the fat. We practice mixing the meal with water and slops, instead of cooking it as formerly. Our thoughts were turned in this direction by experiments at the dif- ferent stations of the county, and we are J satisfied that the results are fully as good as by the old course, which involved more trouble. The practice pursued by some of mixing grains in grinding for hogs, such as corn, oats, rye, buckwheat, etc., may serve a good purpose to use in lim?. ited quantities during the entire period of < growth, for the reason that it contains all the elements necessary for the development of muscle and bone. But in producing pork our idea is not so much to secure lean pork, but fat; if lean meat was the ' sole aim, then the character of the food would be entirely changed. Pork is not f all of it produced for the meat, but for the fat that is now so extensively employed t in the culinary department, and for that ( reason there is little danger of getting J pork too fat. When there is danger in 1 that line there is no trouble in producing ] a chaDge, as feeding experiments have abundantly proven.?[Wm. H. Yeoraans, in Southern Farm. Dress at Home.?The importance of neat and tasteful house-dressing cannot be overestimated. The matron who appears before the members of the family in a shabby, soiled wrapper, and makes the excuse?if indeed she takes the trouble to make one at all?that "4t is so much more comfortable," has little idea of the possible consequence of such a course. Could she but realize that her dress is an evil example to her daughters, and one productive of consequences that will reach far beyond her own span of life; that her husband and sons cannot fail to draw comparisons between her dress and that of ladies they meet in other homes, and that these comparisons cannot fail to decrease their respect for her, she might be induced to give more attention to her personal appearance. Not even the burden of care and constant employment can furnish a sufficient excuse for careless personal habits, for few things are more important to the well-being of a family. There is an old saying to the effect that an untidy mother has disobedient chiidren; and while neither parents nor children may realize the why or wherefore of it, yet there is always a lack of respect, and an indifference to the authority of a mother who takes no pride in her personal appearance. And it is not the mother alone upon whose shoulders rests the burden of responsibility for home neatness and order indress; the father has his duties to look after as well, and should never fail to insist on the younger members of the family presenting themselves with well kept hands, clean faces, neatly brushed hair, and orderly dress, at least, at every meal where the family assemble. < Why the Leaves Change Color.? 'Probably not one person in a thousand J knows why leaves change their color in the fall," remarked an eminent botanist the other day. "The common and oldfashioned idea is that all this red and golden glory we i>ow see is caused by frosts. A true and scientific explanation < of the causes of the colori ng of leaves would necessitate a long and intricate discussion. Stated briefly and in the proper language, those causes are these: The green matter in the tissue of a leaf is composed of two oolors, red and blue. When the sap ceases ? to flow in the autumn, and the natural growth of the tree ceases, oxidation of the tissues takes place. Under certain conditions the green of the leaf changes to red ; < under different conditions it takes on a yellow or brown tint. This difference in color is due to the difference in combination of the original constituents of the green tissue, and the varying conditions of climate, exposure and soil. A dry, cold climate produces more brilliant foilage than one that is damp and warm. This is the reason that American autumns are so much more gorgeous than those of Scot- ] land and England. There are several , things about leaves that even science can- ] not explain. For instance, why one or 1 two trees growing side by side of the same ] age and having the same exposure, should ] take on a brilliant red in the fall, and the j other turn yellow, or why one branch of a ] tree should be highly colored and the rest ] of the tree have only a yellow tint, are 1 questions that are as impossible to answer l as why one member of the family should be perfectly healthy and another sickly. \ Benefit of a Sponge-bath.?A prom- ] inent physician, speaking of special baths, j fhoin none monh'nna tho cnAfl (TP ClliU 11IV11 U OV. O f lU^UVIVUU Vitv bath, the form of bathing where the water is applied to the surface through the me- ] dium of cloth or sponge, no part of the i body being plunged in the water. He ' says the practice of systematic daily sponge bathing is one giving untold benefits to its followers. Let a person, not overstrong, subject to frequent colds from slight exposure, the victim of chronic catarrh, sore throat, etc., begin the practice of taking a sponge-bath every morning, c commencing with tepid water in warm room (not hot), and following the sponging with friction that will produce a warm { glow over the skin, and take five minutes' brisk walk in the open air. See if you do not return with a good appetite for breakfast. After having used tepid water for a few mornings, lower the temperature of the bath until cold water can be borne with impunity. Remedy for Croup.?An old nurse j who was considered wise in her day told 3 me that an unfailing relief for croup was > to place the child's feet in hot water, ap- r ply hot flannels to the chest and give the f following mixture until vomiting was pro- } duced: One tablespoonful of powdered ^ alum dissolved in half a teacupful of hot a water and sweetened well with molasses, i In membranous croup put kettles of water 1 on the stove, producing all the steam possible by inserting a funnel in the nose of " the teakettle and removing the cover; put j me ICUl 111 IlUl Wilier, giving JiJCiai njiuji or the above mixture, and hastening vom- iting by placing hot tobacco leaves on the j stomach, being careful not to leave them I on too long.?[Good Housekeeping. Don't Stint the Clover Sowing.? j Do not sow the clover seed with a stinting hand. We know it is a costly article, but if any stinting be done on account of the limpness of the spring pocket book, let it be in some other direction, where the saving will not so much interfere with your ' interests. Better to open the hand a lit- ^ tie more liberally than to have to regret t on going through the fields next summer a the reason of so light a stand for the f mower, and better that a portion of the ' seed be wasted than that the crop should fall short. Clover hay is too valuable a winter feeding material for the butter dairy not to receive the utmost care and ( provision for its plentiful production. ] fiQYAl, ; POWDER Absolutely Pure Thin powder never vnrleg.
