e A Manly Utterance.
Macon Telegraph.
we sadopt with pleasure the fol-
Jowing from one of Col. P. L. My
patt’s speeches in the recent cam
paign in the Fifth district, and com
mend it to the sober eensideration of
a host of candidates in the State. The
words are manly and cloquent, and
do credit both to the head and heart
of the speaker: “I would not go to
Congress if I bad to send a man
pome drunk to his wife and children
in order to get his vote. [Lound and
Jong applause.] I am much obliged
fo you for the hearty response to
that sentiment; it comes from my
neart, I feel it [loud and eontinued
gpplauso] and so help me God! if it
can be successfully shown that I
pave attempted any such thing T will
retive from the contest, and you need
pot vote for me. [Renewed ap
plause-]"
The office-seeker, whose candida
oy is conducted on the whisky sched
ule, admits abundantly his own in
competency to the position to which
be aspires. A candidate is never a
men, much less a statesman, when
bepaves the way to position over
hearts and homes made desolate by
the inebriate voter.
Another Georgia Wonder.
1 have on my farm a prodigy of the
cow progeny—a calf, eight months
old, in milking condition. I gave
it to two of my little boys of six and
four years of age, and they fondled
and c'arc-ssed it until it became very
gentle, and then they manipulated it,
gsin milking, until milk actnally
came. After which, being with a lit
tle motherless ealf, it took charge of
it and now nurses it with the wusual
fondness common to cows, and when
separated from it will become restless
in the most passionate manner.
While it is a new thing for a cow
to milk while barren, yet to milk be
fore it could possibly be productive
of its kind is & marvel to me, hence I
eommunicate this fact to the publie
through your paper. This wonder
fl ealf is three-fourths Jersey stock.

COUNTRY GIRLS.
HAWKEYE.
Up in the carly morning,
Just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the cows away ;
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs ;
Washing the breakfast dishes,
Dusting the parlor chairs.
Brushing crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for egus at the barn ;
Cleaning turnips for dinner,
Spinning stocking yarn;
Spreading the whitened linen
Down on the bushes below ;
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red stawberries grow.
Btarching the fixtures for Sunday
Churaing the snowy creain,
Rinsing the pail and straine T,
Down in the limpid streaw,
Feeding the geese and turieys,
Making tke pumpkin pjes,
Jogging the young one's cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone.
Beauty in form and feature,
Thousands may covet to own,
Checks that rival spring roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearl,
One of these country maids is worth
A score of your city-bred girls.
WILD DOGS.
About eight miles from Pough
keepsie, says the Kingston, N. Y.,
Freeman, is the most remarkable
breed of wild dogs, or rather half
dog and half wild Least. According
to the stories of the farmers in that
vicinity a female New Foundland
dog a few yearsago gave birth to a
litter in the woods. The dogs grew
up wild, and, it seems took to run
ning with foxes and animals of like
kind, which resulted in another breed
of aniwals, part dog and part fox,
which are the terror of that part of
the country. There are about fifty
in all. as near as they can judge, and
they run from the size c¢f a New
Foundland dog down to a small fox
dog. Tley run in companies, and it
18 extremely dangerous for a man to
couie across them, for they are fero
cious. DBesides, they have the cun
ning of the fox added to the higher
intelligence of the domestic dog,
which is such assistance to them that
it seets impossible to kill one of
ikem unless a man goes aloue, and
then, although he may shoot one,
the rest of the pack will make short
work of him. Hunters would much
rather run across a pack of wolves
than these dogs, for in this wocded
district they come upon them una
wares, kill their hunting dogs, and if
the hunters do not beat an imme
mediate retreat they will attack them.
In several cases hunters have been in
this plight, and forced to climb trees
in order to save their lives. Many
stories are told of the remarkable
cuanning of these animals. Instead
of cunning, perhaps, a better word
would Le “intelligence.” Wien a
party of hunters undertake to hunt
these wild dogs, they are never able
to find them for seemingly they kiow
very well their own strength, and
though they may be a match for one
ot two men, they cannot cope wiik a
dozen.
A Novel Record.
A recently deceased Frenchman
kept a novel record. Twenty years
ago hie married, and on Lis wedding
day took the original resolution to
keep a yearly account of the number
of kisses exchanged with his wife until
their union became served by the
death of one or the other. Just be
fore he died he coufided this account
to a friend for publication. During
tho first year of their wedded life the
kisses exchanged amounted to the
colossal figure of 36,500, or a hun
dred a day on an average ; bul in the
following twelve months there was a
notable decrease, pot more than
16,000 being inscribed on the reg
ister, while the third year shows a
still greater falling off, the average
‘number of kisses being but ten a day
l And after tho lapse of five years a
further reduction is recorded, and the
account keeper’s task was simplified,
for only two kisses were exchanged
during every twenty four hours—
“one on rising, one on retiring to
rest.” TLater on, during the last ten
years of his married life, they ouly
kissed each other on leaving for or
returning from a jonrney, and he
had very little trouble in making up
his annual domestic statistics.

The Democrqcy and the Tariff,
The declaration on the tariff, as
made in its platform of principles by
the Democratic Convention, voices
clearly and forcibly the conviction of
the Democracy, the historic and only
party of a constitutional revenue
tariff :
“That a change is necessary is
proven by an existing surplus of
more than $190,000,000, which has
yearly been collected from a suffer
ing people. Unnecessary taxation is
unjnst taxation. We denounce the
Republican party for having failed
to relieve the people from crushing
war taxes, which Lave paralyzed bus
iness fndustry and deprived Jabor of
employment of just reward.
“The Democracy pledges itself to
purify the administration from cor
ruption, to restore economy, to re
vive respect for law, and to reduce
taxation to the lowest limit consist
ent with due regard to the preser
ivation of the faith of the nation to
‘creditors and pensioners. Kuowing
full well, however, that legislation
affecting the occupations of the
people should be cautious and con
servalive in methods, not in advance
of public opinion, but responsive to
demands, the Democratic party is
pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit
ot fairness to all interests. But in
making a reduction in taxes it is not
‘proposed to injure any domestic in
tries, but rather to promote their
healthy growth. From the founda
tion of the Goverzment taxes collect
ed at the custom-house lLave been
the cheif source of Federal revenue.
Such they must continue. Moreover,
many industries have come to rely
upon legislation for successful con
tinnance, so that any change of law
must be every step legardful of the
labor and capital thus involved. The
process of reform wast be gubject in
the execntion to the plain dictates of
Jjustice.
“All taxation shall be limited to
the reguirements of an economical
Government. The necessary reduc
tion in taxation can and must be
elfected without depriving American
labor of the ability to cowpete suc
cessfully with foreign labor and
without imposing lower rates of duty
than will be ample to cover the iu
creased cost of producing which may
exist in consequence of the high rate
of wages prevailing in this country.
“Suflicient revenue to pay all the
expenses of the Federal Government
economically administered, including
peusions and the interest and priuci
pal of the public debt, can be got
under our present system of taxation
from the custom-house taxes on few- |
er imported articles, bearing heavi- |
est on articles of luxury, and bearing ‘
lightest on articles of necessity. \
“We therefore denounce the
abuses of the existing tariff and sab
ject to the preceding limitations, We
demand that Federal taxation shall
be exclusively for public purposes,
and shall not exceed the needs of the
Government, economically adminis
tered, The system of direct taxa
tion, known as the ‘lnternal Reve
nue, i 3 a war tax, and so long as the
law continues the money derived
therefrom should be sacredly devoted
to the reliet of the people from the
remaining burdens of the war, and
be made a fund to defray the ex
penses and care and comfort of
worthy soldeirs disabled in the line
of duty in the wars of the republic,
and for the paymeni of such pen
sions as Congress may, from time to
time, grant to such soldiers; a like
fund for the sailors having been
already provided, and any surplus
should be paid into the treasury,
A revision of the tariif in accord
ance with these resolutions will be
entirely satisfactory to the most
earnest revenue reformers; a revis
ion on any other plan 1s not desira
ble nor practicable,

Matrimonial Pavinerships.
Bill Arp.
A men and his wife ought to be
) alike in most everything. It is
said that folks like their opposites,
’their counterparts, and so they do
in some respects. A man with
‘blue eyes goes mighty nigh distracted
over a woman with hazel eyes. I
did, and I am distracted yet wheney
er I look into them. But in mental
qualities and emotional gqualities and
tempersand habits and prineiples and
conviciions and the like they ought
to class together. Indeed, it is bet
ter for them to liave the sams politics
and the same religion. And so I
have ohsarved that the huppiest un
ionsas a general thing are those
where the high contracting parties
have known each other for a long
time, and have assimilated from their
yvouth in ¢hought and feeling.
When a man goes off to some wa
tering place anl waltzes a few
tines with a charming girl and
falls desperately in love with her and
warries her off-hand, it is a long
shoot and a narrow chance for hap
piness.. Why, we may live in the
same town with people and not
know as much aboul them as we
ought to. I never made any mistake
about my choice of & partner in the
davce of life, but I’ve thought of it a
thousand times that if Mrs. Arp had
known [ loved codfish and got up
every moruniag by daybreak she nev
er would have had me. It was mnip
and tuck to get her anyhow, aud
that would Lave been the feather to
break the camel's back. Well,
Pm mortal glad she didn’t know
it, thought I am free to say that if I
had known she elapt until the sccond
ringing of the lell for breakfast,
and was fond of raw oysters, it would
bave had a dampening effect on my
ardor for a few minutes, only a few.
But I've scen some mighty clever
people eat raw oysters and sleep late
in the morning. Bat still a man and
his wife can barmonize and com
promise a good many of these things
and it is a beautiful illustration of this
to see Mrs. Arp-cooking codfish for
me and fixing it all up so nice with
eggs and cream, and it is & touching
evidence of my undying devotion to
bher to see me wandering about the
house lonely and forlorn every morn
ing for an hour or two, and forbid- ‘
ding even the cat to walk heavily |
whiie she sleeps. That codfish husi
ness comes to me houvestly from my ‘
father’s side, and my mother pat up |
with it like a good, considerate wife, ‘
and we children grew up with an idea
that it was good. 1 heard of a young !
couple who got married and went
off to Augusta on a tour, and the fel- l
low stuck his fork intoa codfish ball
and took a bite. He choked it
down like a hero, and when his be
loved asked whut was the matter,
veplied. “Don’t say anything about
it Mandy, but as sure as you are
born, there is something dead in the
bread.”
How a Girl Shakes Hands.
I saw a young lady just now shake
hands with a young man. She gave
him that flippant member in a per
fectly limp way. He squeezed it
and shook it from the shoulder
down,without its giving any evidence
of fecling. Then she let it flop to
ber side. Now, it isn't fair. If you
are going to sbake hands, shake.
It is an almost certain sign that a
girl is an American if she puts her
hand in yours quite impassive and
leaves it there till you have done
with it. A man naturally squeezes
it. His grasp does not fully calcu
late its fimpness, and be thinks she
may be effended. He gives it an
other gentler pressure. He feels
the rings sink into the fingers. He
tries a third time to get some re
sponse. She dves not return the
squeeze. She does not move it.
She does not take it away. She
simply does nothing at all. She
looks as if she had forgotten he had
hold of its It breaks the man all up

Smith Wanted What He Ordered.
Some years ago an Austin mer.
chant, whom we will call Smith, be
cause that was, and is, the name
painted on his signboard sent an
order for goods to & New York firm.
He kept a very extensive geneial
store, had plenty of money, kept all
'his accounts ina pocket memoran
‘dum book, and dido't know the
difference between double entry
book-keeping and the science of
hydrostatics. :
Among other things he ordered
W 3
12 gross assorted clothespins,
12 ditto grindstones.
When he ordered the grindstones |
he meant to order au assortment of
twelve grindstones, The shipping
clerk of the New York firm was as
tonished when he read the order.
e went to the manager and said : =
“For heaven'’s sake! what do they
want with twelve gross—l,72B grind
stones, in Texas?” The manager
said it must be a mistake, and tele
graphed Smith :
“Wasn’t it a mistake ordering so
many grindstones?”
Old man Swmith prided himself on
never making a mistake. Hehad no
copy of his order to refer to, and if
he had he would not have referred to
it, because he knew he had only or
dered twelve grindstones. So he
wrote back :
“Probably you think you know my
business better than I do. I always
order what I want, and I want what i
I order. Send on the grindstones.”
The New York firm knew Smith
was a little eccentric but that he(
always paid cash on receipt of in-“
vuice, and was able to buy a dozeu |
quarries full of 'grindstones if he
cared to indulge in such luxuries, so
they filled his order as written and
chartered a schooner, filled her full
of grindstones, and cleared her for
Galveston. They wrote to Swmith
and said that they hoped the con
signment of grindstones by schooner
would keep him going till they could
charter another vessel. Smith sold
grindstones at wholesale, and at low
figures on long time for three yearsl
afterward. Now, when Swmith’s
wicked rivals in business want to
perpetrate a practical joke on an in
nocent hardware drummer, they tell
him that he had better not neglect
to call on Smith, as they heard the
old man say he wanted to order some |
more grindstones. When the drum
mer cails on Smith, and, with a 1
broad smile lighting up his counte
nance, says, “Mr. Smith, I under
stand you are needing some grind- i
stones,” there is a painful tableau
that the reader can better imagine
than we could describe.—Texas

A Boston Girl's Whim,
For the past seven months there
bas been living with the Omabas,
thirty miles below this city, an edu
cated young lady—a Doston lady,
too—who is for the time a member
of the tribe, because she hopes in
this way to learn something of the
inner life of this, the oldest tribe,
excepting the Pawnees, in this part
ot the West. This lady, Miss A. C.
Fletcher, was in the city on Tues
day with Dr. Wilkinson, agent of the
Owahas and Winnebagos. The
agent says that on taking charge of
the Omabas a few weeks ago he
found this lady with them, and near
ly starved. Miss Fletchegis a bru
nette, solilly built, about 25 years
old, rather goodlooking, and with a
directness of speech and a way of
standing silent while irrelevant con
versation is going on that probably
comes of her present mode of her
lite. Miss Fletcher intimated to Dr.
Wilkerson that before coming to the
Omahas she had been with some of
the warlike northern tribes, and from
her present place of study she would
go to the New Mexico Pueblos,
‘thence to the Flatheads of Washing
ton Territory,and return East by the

A Woman Hanged.
A heurible hanging occurred a few
days since at Lincoln, England. The
victim was Mrs. Lefily, who poison
ed her husband last fall, and was
duly convicted and sentenced at
Lincolnshire Sessions. She had;
however, acquired some money by
her hushand’s death, and she spent
}it liberally in pressing an appeal to
‘the home secretary for a commuta
‘tion of sentenee to imprisonment for
life, or if that was refused for a re
prieve of a few weeks. To the very
last moment Mrs. Leffly believed
that a reprieve would be granted,
and she was not by any means re
conviled to her fate. |
When she first saw the hangman
in the pinioning room she shricked
with terror and fainted. She was re
stored to consciousness and the
hangman began to prepare her for
the gallows by pivioning her elbows
and fixing a strap loosely around her
skirts to be tightened abont her
ankles ofter she had walked to the
scaffold. Mys. Lefily fought desper
ately to prevent these restraints,
and gave utterance to frightfu! yells,
which were heard even outside the
massive walls of the jail. On the
way to the scaffold the sereams of
the condemned woman were almost
maniacal, and drowned the voice of
the prison chaplain who was reciting
the prayers for the dying.
When she was placed upon the
trap she continued to seream an din
colierently avow her iunocence until
the white cap was puiled down to
her mouth and stifled her voice.—
Then the trap fell, the woman was
dropped into the well, and in a few
minutes was dead. The usnal in
quest was held, and the corpse was
buried in the jail yard and covered
with quick lime.

said shuddering.

some more milk or a glass of bloods

and goes on to say that “the opposi

feat it ; it is not even a great element
of weakness. Indeed, that of Butler
is likely to dwindls to infinitessimal

that of Kelly change into hearty !

A Touching Story. :
Congressman Blackburn; of Kens
tneky, is quoted as telling this story ¢
“Four days before T went to the
| front with my regiment we had a lit
ite girl baby. i3heis now grown, and
| you always see her with me at any
social gathering. Well, in our army
the furloughs came very rarely.
When wa got into line there was no
| great chance for a man to got home.
]lt was about three years afterwards
| that a few of ng were one night going
down the Mississippi on a river
steamer. I lhad been sick and was
returning to my comnnand, but pret
lty well broken up even then. Aa for
l money, we did uot have any, and the
night was hot as I laid down on the
>deck, my throat almost parchied with
thirst. Pretty soon a little girl chme
along with a big glass of lemonade.
I tell you it looked good to me. Sha
saw me eyeing it, stopped a minute,
looked doubtfully at me and finally
came up to my side. ‘You look as if
you wanted something to drink,’ sbe
#aid, and offered me the glass, 1§
wasn't quite the square thing to db,
buat T teok it and hunded it back emp
ty. It was like ncetar to me. Then
1 thanked the little creature and sent
her away. Sooun after, just like every
child, she came back loading her
mother to see the poor soldier. By
Jubiter, 1t was my wife, aud the girl
was the baby whom { had last seen
s a baby but just born. You can
imagine the reunion. Ther
were with my brother's fawmily and
happened to be going down the river.
That was the only time during the
four years’ fighting that 1 saw my
wife and baby, and nnder these cirs
cumstances what man would ever

studies have been neglected to a des
gree finally dewmanding the candid
censure of the official examining
board. The action just taken will
doubtless remedy the evil, if the rule
is inflexibly enforced, We believe it
will be, simply Lecause it will not do
to trifle with the good reputation
of the Umiversity in this particalar,
Access heretofore lins been too easy,
the attempt to make the institation
more popular as a rival to the denoms
inational colleges of the State caused
a laxity in the preliminary esaminas
tions of applicants. This point will
be now attended to properly, and
the good effect will soon become ap
parent.
A scientific paper ansouaces that
in its next issue will appear an elab=
orate article entitled ¢ How to handle
bees.” Now, a beeis not a difficuls
thing to handle. He is as easily
picked up as a strawberry, and is
reasonably light and compressible.
To bandle bim is, therefore, a mere
song. Any man &an do its In fact;
the more ignorant of bees a wan ig
the more easily he can handle one.
The main difficulty seems ta bein
quieting the man afterhe bas handled
a small but frolicsome bee. They
have been known to race around s
ten-acre lot, and eventually lose
their salvation, al'er handling one
bee for the tenth part of a second.
The seientific journal means well, no
doubt, but what the country really
needs is an article on how toavoid
handling bees.
