They are like the long-tongued woman of whom it was said shiv could sit. in her parlor and lick the skillet in the kitchen. We have a few over-worked lawyers and business men, but I know very few over-worked farmers. And yet they say they are the most down-troddenest people on the face of the earth, for getting that it is the fellow who is ly ing on his back who gets down-trod den. By the way, 1 saw a sight at Marion, Ilk, the other day that I had never seen before in all my peregrination-. I went into a poultry butchering es tablishment from which they shipcjir loads of chickens dressed for the mar ket. With a friend 1 walked into a room where the chickens were being dressed. 1 saw they were picking the chickens without scalding them, a we :ill doat home. The process was unique. 1 saw tin' feathers eoniing off tlvni as easy, or more easy, than ihey do fior.i scalded chickens. I began to inquire into the process. 1 s:tid: “flow can you ]>i"k those chickens so easily w it li mit scalding them?” One of the experts at work said: “We butcher them so they turn loose their feathers. Mow." he said, as he picked up a live chic ken from the coop, “see if you can pull tin se feathers." I tri 'd, but ! couldn't hwlg'* them. Be then too!; a sharp pointed instru ment and seemed to tickle the roof of the chicken's mouth, and then ke slipped the sharp-pointed instrument right under tin* eye of the chicken into its brain, and then le* held 1 he chiekeu towards me and said: “Mow see if you can pull then:." I took hold of the feathers and they slipped off by the handful. I said: “What’s this?" lie jeplied: "You ean’t jnill the feathers off of a Hu* rhickon without tearing the skin: you A LUCKY THIEF.

A thief who tackles a wagon load of I foreitc and escape:; with his life is lucky enough to grow rich carrying a hod. This is what an enterprising thief diil the other morning. At last ace "Mints he was alive end doing well. Shortly after nine o’clock on the morning in question, Hetrick Sullivan, :i driver for the American 1'oreite com- 1 any, turned his wagon eastward in :;4th street. Mew York city, with a load of several hundred pounds of the ex plosive in the bo!tom of the vehicle. He Ftop|x‘d his team at the corner of Tith street and Fifth avenue, where he left the wagon for a minute, dust then :i pale-faced, seedy-looking young thief, p issing the wjigon saw 1 hat it was fair, lie did not stoji to read t he fereite sign on the outside. Hi' sprang on the driver's scat, seized the reins, twisted the whip about tho horse's flanks and started eastward in k-Uh street jit a preat rate. The boxes rattled and bumped around in the bottom of the wagon in a way that would kavo made Hat rick Sullivan's hair stand on end had he been driving. Y! - re wascnongli foreitc in the wag » to have blown up the buildings on both ides of the street hiid it exploded. The thief probably imagim'd that he had mv’< :i great lur.il o! ji welly or dry goods.
