hicrh order, which doubtless the child
inherited. To thecareful instruction
»f a 1> ,UUS father, and the happy influ-
ence of a beloved Christian mother,
the daughter is indebted in a large
degree for her brilliant career of I
great usefulness.
i
When three years old her parents j
removed to Oberlin,0., where they
devoted five „.»to
they then removed to \\ isconsin.
Here in the beautiful valley of the
Rock river, Mr. Willard cultivated
his large farm, and here the young
girl grew to womanhood, her only
com panions a brother and sister. Here
she edited a newspaper which was
read only in manuscript; she wrote a
novel which was never printe 1, and
child poems which never saw the light.
At the age of eighteeiqshe attend¬
ed a college for women, founded by
Catharin Beecher,in Milwaukee. Here
she remained only a short time, as the
family removed to Evanston Ill. She
i graduated at the college in that vil-
lage Ilere she became a teacher;
afterwards she taught in colleges at
at Pittsburg, Pa., and Lima, N. Y.
While teaching she wrote “Ninteen
Beautiful Years” a touching memoir
of her gifted sister. In company
with a friend she journeyed through
Europe, where she spent about two
years; improving her opportunities
for study in Paris, Berlin, Rome and
other prominent cities, attending the
lectures of renowned educators, isto-
rians and political economists. She
v sited Palestine Eg.pt, Greece
Asia Minor, ’ writing n numerous letters
“ Har P 0r ’ 3 and
weekly journals m New Vork and
Chicago. Some of her letters have
j been published under the tttle of “A
School Mistress Abroad.” The sad
condition of women in Europe and
■ he East, suggested to her the prob-
lent which is a part of her life work
to solve: “What car, be done to
mal<e t5,e worl(1 a wider place for wo-
men - " as e ^ ectet ^
j president of the Womans’ College at
Eva nston,where she developed a plan
S of ‘self government’ for the pupils,and
j ! displayed the front ability educators. that brought her to
among
About the same tune she began
her wonderful career as a pubi c speak
er, and soon she was ranked as hold¬
ing he “first place among women who
speak.” A prominent writer said:
“As a public speaker, I think Miss
Willard is without a peer among
women.”
In November in 1874, at Cleve¬
land, Ohio, the national W. C. T. U.
was organized and Miss Willard was
made Corresponding Secretary. From
that time she has been the chief figure
in tlie movement, and the growth of
UntoiV'has . been largely due .
to her
tireless pen, and voice and brains.”
In 1376-7 she assisted Mr. Moody
in his gospel work in Boston, and
j the “unction of the Holy One was
manifested in the ministry of the
j Word under the preaching of Miss
Willard.”
After her brother’s death,who was
editor of the Chicago Post, she took
j editorial charge of that paper; and
; bravely but vainly labored to rescue
it from its financial incubus, which
was too great for her s'rength.
She is the originator of the move*
ment that resulted in the National
Homo Protection party, which in¬
j eludes Prohibition and the complete
; enfranchisement of woman. In this
work she was oreatlv aided by her
private secretary, Miss Anna Gordon;
; among other labors they presented a
petition to the Illinois legislature over
j two hundred and fifteen yards long,
| and containing 180,000 names.
In 1879 Miss Willard was elected
president of the W. C. T. U. and holds
that office still. She has made sever-
al trips through the South, and she
embraces in her heart and labors of
love alike,all sections and all people of
our common country, Her more re-
cent labors in connection with the
Prohibition party are known of all
people,
As a teacher, as a public speaker,as

THE RAINBOW DRILL.
A novel entertainment similar lo
the one describe ! below, which was
given in Palatka Florida, would be
interesting here In 'loecoa, we copy
^ U|e HoraM>
About two months ago the idea of
« Rainbow Drill, for the benefitof the
Presbyterian Sunday Sc........ «, sng-
proval ^ j*.^'Gingly met ’ the »J>-
of the young people oflkat de-
nomination.
About two hundred of Palatka’g
people, besides a number of visitors,
assembled at the Guards' Armory
last night, to witness the Rainbow
Drill, by sixteen young ladies of this
Pul?
nam brass Band discoursed sweet
music, which was highly pleas**
ing to the audience.
Miss Mary San file then appeared
and read, caricaturing several types
of stupid school boys. She was fol¬
lowed by Miss Lottie Eecles who re*
cited in a highly pleasing manner.
At 8 o'clock E. M. McLaury, who
had been selected as drill master, and
had whose knowledge of millitary tactics
brought the young ladies up to
so high a standard of perfection,
peared ; the band struck up an in¬
spiring march and, at a signal from
Mr. McLanry, the fair command filed
out the dressing rooms on each side o!
the armory, preceded by tee drill
master, in the following order:
Marching by file the column sepa¬
rated at the east end of the armory,
inarching to the right and left to start¬
ing point, then forming two’s and cov¬
ering same ground, then fours, and
then by platoons. They next broke
into fours and formed a stra*, march¬
ing in star and breaking into two’s to
starting point/then marching across
to east side of armory and breaking
into file ; then forming double circle
at east side of armor}' they formed a
large center circle; and from there
formed a double circle, at tlie west,
end ; then breaking into file they form¬
ed an ‘S’ from the south east corner to
the northwest corner; then forming
two half circles in easten hof ar.norv.
The‘‘manual of trays” was next
executed, and was quite an interest*
ing feature. Almost tlie entire manual
was gone through with,the ‘order being
especially worthy of mention, while
the ‘ loading” and “firing” was quite
orisinal and won tU« hearty oppUuee
° J<? au( lenct *
-lire company then breaking . into

end of ermory where the -.uatlual ...
A t this juncture Mr. House appear*
ed, bearing a round table, with
die slick affixed, in the shape of a
smoking apparatus well supplied
cigars. In a few well chosen words
he* presented, on behalf of the ladies,
this handsome gift to Mr. McLaury to
whom is largely tTi due tlie success of
the d * i •!! ill. Mr. . McLaury t responde , ,
in in a graceful manner, expressing
ns learttelt appreciation ot this
ken of their esteem.
The company then breaking into
file formed a circle in the center
the armoryjtben twoc.rcles,one I,.side
of the other ami marching in oppo-
site directions. Th, inside circle
t hen formed a vine around the out¬
side circle. Four small circles was
next made, after winch a large one
was made from the smaller circles.
Cutting the circle in half they formed
an arbor with trays overhead; break*
ing into file they marched by two’s
fours, and platoons, and vice versa.
The fair sixteen then headed for the
;! followed r .f 8 . "’= by , r "" l loud IDS , ami applause , cnt0r train r e<1 th the , e , m
audience,
John T. Dunn then mounted the
rostrum and, for some time, could wot
make himself heard, owing to the
loud applause from the audience. On
behalf of the ladies, lie thanked the
audience for their attendance and
closed by saving that if they would
go to tlie lower floor, the ladies would
see that the “inner man’ would be
billy satisfied.
vi ,t t to^T cream,'’"ito”
i n every style, cake, ice
were served by the fair ladies of the
1 Rainbow Drill, and about ^75 was
realized.
The drill and festival was a grand
* success, and met the
balion generous appro-
ll » e lar S e aa( t
audience.

STRAWBERRIES.
A strawberry bed is a nice thing to j
have in every garden. Some new ■
varieties are recommended.
The Cloud Seedling which comes
from Mississippi, is productive and a
good shipper.
The Haveland is also productive
and ripens early.
The Grc*at American, is a large,
dark glassy berry of excellent flavor,
and brought, last season, the highest
price in the market.
Too many varieties are not de¬
sirable. It is best to have 1 or 2 early,
and some later varieties, in order to
prolong the season of this delicious
fruit.
Tney have strawberries in Florida
from January to June.
IMPROVED STOCK.
It costs but little more to keep good
breeds of stock than it does for scrubs.
Of course to raise good cattle, and
horses requires labor and some ex-
pense. cold Tliey need to be sheltered
from storms, to be well fed,
kept clean, and treated carefully and
kindly. To be a successful stock
grower, one should have a taste for
the business, be fond of cattle and
horses, be ambitious to excel and
have a sharp eye to the money he can
make.
As to the kinds of bree ls, one or
two only should be attempted. Among
the different varieties, a choice of one
kind should be selected, the kindone
can like; and be enthusiastic over.
Among the choice breeds of cattle,
the Shorthorns are considered tlie
best for milk, the Jerseys for butetr,
and the Hereferds for beef. Seme re¬
gard t'ae [Iolsteins as combining
all these qualities in tlie highest de¬
gree, known. making the best combination
cow
A good horse will always bring a
good price; a poor horse never; while
it costs as much to raise and keep the
poor animal as the good. There are
ten buyers fora good horse to one
for one for a poor one. Towns or
counties that have a reputation for
g ood horses are overrun by buyers,
The market for poor horses is al-
ways overstocked, good horses never,
There is money in raising good hors-
and mules. *

A FASTIDIOUS HORSE.
1 ho Norwich lulletm says there is
a horse m th© town of Sprague that
haste be put to bed to be shod. As
blacksmiths do not have beds in their

eccentric animals, Mr. \\ ill.ams hasto
carr ^ v a tnaUressand P‘ Iows " nere
t ^ e ^ ,or ' e Lsnod, he ho, so do^s not
like to go to bed, and as it takes good
management to throw him down on
the mattress and get him into a mood
and a position to have tlie shoes put
on his hoofs, few blacksmiths like to
undertake the job. A Norwich man
has done the job repeatedly, and al-
mofet always the horse is drn en to
this city to have new shoes put upon
him. The horse is thrown down on
the mattress and held there by straps
across t ^ e body, * and the owner in-
sists on having.tlw horse’s head bol-
stored up in a comfortable position
«'th two pillows while the work is
being done. There is not, probably,
another horse in New England that
requires shod a mattress and pillows to be
upon. 1

M e want a better crossing between
Thwne’s corner and the postoffice and
the Drug store. Tills is absolutely the
worst crossing in the town, and is
crossed and reerossed more times in
a day than all the other crossings put
together. It must lie fixed—and soon
how? Well, this is a good plan;

Has any body noticed that there
are not so many baby carriages per¬
ambulating this spring as there was
a year ago. It was no uncommon
sight then to see four or five of them
together and their nurses discussing
the relative merits and beauty of
their charges, whilst now it is a rare
thing to meet a single carriage. A
lady friend sugo-ests that “it takes 2
years to raise a crop of babies and
this is the df year.” We did not
know that, but will accept it as a sat¬
isfactory explanation, until some one
suggests a better one, in the mean¬
time we have heard of two or three
carriages being ordered for immedi¬
ate use. This is mighty good baby
weather.
That was a good idea of Cepli’s in
fixing • up ‘ a seat in front of his store
^" r accommodation of his friends,
and it is so highly appreciated that it
is rare to see it unoccupied; other
merchants will doubtless follow tlie
example; it is a great boon to the

warm will put an awning over; this
certainly and the will make it a^"popular ro-
sort, orange and banana skins

SETTING FRUIT TREES.
In setting out fruit trees, says th
New Orleans Picayune, give the root
plenty of rich mellow earth, slraighter
all of the little roots out. Never wsv
or double them, place the earth O'
them carefully, press it down hard
water when necessary. Raise tlie cart
a little around the body of the tree t
keep the water from standing tiler

Common sense is a good cmnraod

other industries. Set the tree out s
bout as deep in the earth as natur
planted it; straighten all of the root
