bill nye on his travels.
He Meets a Hard-Fisted Fanner on a
Railway Train-
On board a Western train the other
day I held in my bosom for over seven
ty-five miles the elbow of a large man
whose name I do not know. He was
not a railroad hog, or I would have re
lented it. He was built wide and he
couldn’t help it, so I forgave him. -
He had a large, gentle, kindly eye,
and when he desired to spit he went to
the car door, opened it and decorated
the entire outside of the train, forget
ting that our speed would help to give
scope to his remarks..
Naturally, as he sat there by my side,
holding on tightly to his ticket and evi
dently afraid that the conductor would
forget to come and get it, I began to
figure out in my mind what might be
his business. He had pounded one
thumb so that the nvil was black where
the blood had settled under it. Tins
might happen to a shoemaker, a carpen
ter, a blacksmith, or most any one else.
Sb it didn’t help me out much, though
it looked to me as though it might
have been done by trying to drive a
fence-nail through a leather hinge with
the back of an nxe, and nobody but a
farmer would try to do that. Follow
ing up the clue, I discovered that he
had milk on his boots, and then I knew
T was right. The man who milks be
fore daylight, in a barn, when the ther
mometer is down to 28 degrees below,
and who hits his boot and misses the
pail, by reason of the cold and tke un
certain light and the prudishness of the
cow, is a marked man. He cannot con
ceal the fact that he is a farmer unless
he removes that badge. So I started
out on that theory and remarked that
this would pass for a pretty hard win
ter on stock.
The thought was not original with
me, for I have heard it expressed by
others either in this country or Europe.
He said it would.
“My cattle has gone through a mow
ful o’ hay sence October and eleven ton
o’ brand. Hay don’t seem to have the
goodness to it thet it lied last year, and
with their new pro-cess griss mills they
jerk all the juice out o’ brand, so’s you
might as veil feed cows with excelsior
and upholster your horses with hem
lock bark as to buy brand.”
“Well, why do you run, so much to
stock ? Why don’t you try diversified
farming and rotation of crops . J
“Well, prob’ly you got the idea in the
papers. A man that earns big wages
writing “Farm Hints’ for agricultui al
papers can make more money with a
soft lead pencil and two or three sea
son-cracked ideas like that’ll I can car
rying of ’em out on the farm. We used
to have a feller in the drug store in our
town that wrote such good pieces for
the Rural Vermonter and ,made up
such a good condition powder out of his
own head that two years ago we asked
him to write a nessay for the annual
meeting of the Buckwheat Trust, and to
use his own judgment about choice of
subject. And what do you s'pose he
had selected for a nessay that took the
whole forenoon to read ?”
“What, subject, you mean ?”
“Yes.”
“Give it up!”
“Well, he’d wrote out that whole
blamed intellectual wad on the sub
ject of ‘The Inhumanity of Dehorning
Hydraulic Rams.’ Hows that ?”
“That’s pretty fair.”
“Well, farmin’ is like runnin’ a pa
per in some things. Every feller in the
world will take and turn in and tell
you how to do it, even if he don’t
know a blame thing about it. There
ain’t a man in the United States to-day
that don’t secretly think he could run
airy one if his other business busted on
him, whether he knows the difference
between a new’ milch cow and a horse
hayrack or not. We had one of these
embroidered night-shirt farmers come
from town better’n three years ago.
Been a toilet soap man and done well,
and so he came out and bought a farm
that had nothing to it but fancy house
and barn, a lot of medder in the front
yard and a southern aspect. The farm
was no good. You couldn’t raise a dis
turbance on it. Well, what does he
do? Goes and gits a passle of slim-
tailed, valler cows from New Jersey
and aims to handle cream and diversi
fied farming. Last year the cuss sent
a load of cream over and tried to sell it
at the crematory while the funeral anil
liollereost was goin’ on. I may be a
soi't of a chump myself, but I read my
paper and don’t get left like that.
“What are the prospects for farmers
in your State ?”
“Well, they are pore. Never was so
pore, in fact, sence I've ben there.
Folks wonder why boys leaves the
farm. , My boys left so as
tected, they said, and so they went in
to a clothing store, one of 'em. and one
now that we’ve got the national debt
coppered I wish they’d take a little
hack at mine. I’ve put in fifty years
farmin’. I never drank licker in an5'
form. I’ve worked from ten to eigh
teen hours a day, been economical and
close, and never went to a show more n
a dozen times in my life, raised a fami
ly and learned upward of two hundred
calves to drink out of a tin ffeil without
blowing all their vittles up my sleeve.
My wife worked alongside o’ me, sewin’
new seats on the boys’ pants, skimmin'
milk and even helpin’ me load hay.
For forty years we toiled along together
must suffer from Messrs. Rodgers &
Sons alone in their cutlery and other
productions. Very little Egybtian ivory
has recently come to hand. The Cairo
merchants buried their treasures du
ring the Soudan war to keep them out
of the Mahdi’s hands, and even now
they are reluctant to send to market.
What is sent is the result of hoarding,
not hunting. Egyptian ivory, which is
mainly sold in London, is largely used
by cutlery manufacturers and in other
Sheffield industries, as well as by
piano-forte makers for keys. The
paucity of Egyptian is largely compen-
d hardly had time to look into each sated by the increased weight of West
and get Coast African, which is growing in fa
vor for hafting the higher classes of
table cutlery.

acquainted with each othei. Then
her health failed. Ketched cold in the
spring house, prob’ly skimmin’ milk an’
wash in’ pans and scaldin’ pails and
spankin’butter. Anyhow, she took in
a long breath one day while the doctor
and me was watchin’ her, and she says
to me, ‘Henry,’ says she, ‘I’ve got a
chance to rest,’ and she put one tired,
worn-out hand on top of the other tired,
worn-out hand, and I know’d she’d
gone where they don’t work all day
and do chores all night.
“I took time to kiss her then. I’d
been too blisv for a good while previous
to that, and then I called in the boys.
After the funeral it was too much for
them to stay around and eat the kind
of cookin’ we had to put up with, and
nobody spoke up around the house as
we used to. The boys quit whistlin
around the barn and talked kind of low
by themselves about goin’ to town and
gettin’ a job.
“They’re all gone now and the snow
is four feet deep on mother’s gra\ e up
there in the old berryin’ ground.”
Then both of us looked out of the car
window quite a long while without say
ing anything.
“I don’t blame the boys for going in
to something else, long’s other things
pays better; but I say—and I say what
I know—that the man who holds the
prosperity of this country in his hands,
the man that actually makes money for
other people to spend, the man that
eats three good, simple, square meals a
days and goes to bed at 9 o’clock, so
that future generations with good blood
and cool brains can go from his farm to
the Senate and Congress and the
White House—he is the man that gets
left at last to run his farm, with no
body to help him but a hired man and
a high protective tariff. The farms in
our State is mortgaged for over seven
hundred million dollars. Ten of our
Western States—I see by the papers—
lias got about three billion and a half
mortgages on their farms, and that
don’t count the chattel mortgages filed
with the town clerks on farm machin
ery, stock, wagons and even crops, be.
gosh ! that ain’t two inches high under
snow. The government is rich, but the
men that made it, the men that fought
prairie fires and prairie wolves and In-
jins* and potato-bugs and blizeards,
and has paid the war debt and pensions
and everything else, and hollered fo’r
the Union and the Republican party
and high tariff and anything else that
they was told to, is left high and dry
this cold winter with a mortgage of
seven billions and a half on the farms
they have earned and saved a thou
sand times over.”
“Yes; but look at the glory of sending
from the farm the future President, the
future Senator and the future member
of Congress.”
“That looks well on paper, but what
does it really amount to ? Soon as a
farmer boy gits in a place like that be
forgets the soil that produced him and
holds his head as high as a hojlyhock.
He hellers for protection to everybody
but the farmer, and while he sails
round in a highty-tighty room with a
fire in it night and day, his father on
the farm has to kindle his own fire in the
morning with elm splinters, and he has
to wear his son’s lawn-tennis suit next
to him or freeze to death, and he has
to milk in an old gray shawl that has
held that member of Congress when he
was a baby, be gorry 1 and the old lady
has to sojourn through the winter in
the flannels that Silas wore at the re
gatter before lie went to Congress.
“So I say, and I think that Congress
agrees with me—Dang a farmer, any
how ! ”
He then went away.
The ivory dealers of Africa are very
good hands at obtaining full value for
their goods, and some of tile Sheffield
firms find that they are not novices in
fraudulent trading. They can “load”
ivory quite as cleverly as Lancashire
can load cottons. By pouring lead into
the cavity of the tusk the weight is
greatly increased, anil there is no pos
sibility of discovering the deception un
til the ivory has jessed through various
hands to the cutlery or other manu
facturer. Then the workmen find the
saw grinds against the lead, sometimes
snapping the steel teeth. One Sheffield mcnt -
firm recently found lead imbedded in
several elephants’ tusks, from eight
pounds to twelve pounds weight in
each. As ivory is worth twelve shilling!
per pound, there is a perceptible profit
in selling lead at that price.

The Ivory Trade.
London Times.
The London anil Liverpool ivory
sales have just been concluded. An
interesting feature of the London sales
was the offer of six tons of what was
called “Stanley’s ivory.” It was the
first lot of ivory sent by Mr. H. M.
Stanley from the Congo. It was for
warded to the Belgian Government,
from whom it came to London. The
quality and weight was very good.
One parcel, of 400 weight, knocked
down to Messrs. Joseph Rodgers &
Sons, the Sheffield cutlery manufactu
re get pro- | rers, averaged about three teeth to the
100 weight. -V new source of supply
Bismarck as an Orator.
Pall Mall Gazette.
Bismarck as an orator has been com
pared to Cromwell. Though he makes
no pretensions to being a speaker, yet
his practice does not always comport
with his theories, as is- shown by the
fact that on important occasions he
holds the floor several hours at a time.
On Monday last he spoke for one hour
and three-quarters. Bismarck, how
ever, would, in all probability, prove
his consistency by claiming that wlu.fc
he says is not mere idle words. It is
more interesting to watch Bismarck
when making one of his great speeches
than to listen to him. His words are
fUr stronger and make much more of an
impression in cold type than when
they fall from his lips. This shows
their inherent force and weight. His
delivery is slow; he always uses the ex
act word he wants and his facts are
marshalled in clear and lucid order.
When he first rises to speak a great si
lence falls upon the Reichstag; not even
a whisper is heard, and the deputies
of all shades of political opinion crowd
closely around him, fearful lest they
might lose a single syllable of what he
says.. Bismarck has little or no rhe
torical action. His motions are not
"raceful, his voice is husky anil unmu
sical, and some of his sentences are as
long as those of our own Evarts. Du
ring a debate he makes frequent notes
in a coarse, scrawling hand. When at
tacked by some keen opponent he
grows nervous, shifts in his seat, his
pen shakes between his fingers and very
often his hand goes menacingly to his
sword-hilt, for Bismarck, while he is
the first civil officer in the Empire, is at
the same time a General of Cavalry,
and always wears his undress uniform
in the Reichstag.
When aroused his ebullitions of pas
sion are frequently terrible. His great
frame quivers with emotion and his
gray-blue eyes flash fire as he turns to
ward the benches of his adversaries
and demands to know who it was that
hissed him. Scenes of this character,
however, are of rare occurrence in re
cent years. He is merciless in retort
unsparing of persons, no matter their
age, their personal services to himself
or to the Empire. He possesses a caus
tic humor, which he uses with great
effect. A master of invective, his
coarseness of speech very often defeats
his own object. One of his country
men, speaking on this point, has de
scribed him as “an Achilles in courage,
and a Thersites in debate as often as
the candid censure of friends or the
vicious taunts of foes goad him into the
loss of his temper.” Bismarck has, in
an extraordinary degree, the art or
faculty of embodying in a terse phrase
some great national aspiration which
throws his immediate audience into
raptures of enthusiasm, and thence
forth becomes a battle-cry from one
end of Germany to the other.

well enough for a man that has means

hires him says he is a royal iellei.
“Kurd of a castor royal feller,” 1 said,
with a shriek of laughter.
He waited until I had laughed all I

tusks weigh from 50 to 100pounds each;

small from 3 to 10 pounds.
The firm’s average weights are 35
