A SISTER’S INFLUENCE.
Christiana Intelligencer..
“If I orily had a sister, Cousin
Helen; but I am so lonely. Yon
know since mama died I have had
no one but papa and Hugh.”
The speaker was a yonng girl
only eighteen years of age, but her
earnest face was expressive of
strong character.
“Why not let Hugh take a sis
ter’s place?” suggested Cousin
Helen. '
“How?” And Margie’s eyes re
ally sparkled.
“Talk with him about the many
things, both great and small, which
interest yon. Brothers like to feel
that their sisters can trust them.”
“Margie,” continued Cousin
Helen, with a troubled look in her
eyes, “there has recently been
opened down town an elegant sa
loon which is called, ‘The Gilded
Palace,’ and last evening I over
heard a conversation between
Hugh and his friend, Chester Win-
tbrop, concerning it. Hugh evi
dently thought it an improper
place for moral young men to fre-
quent, but Chester tried to over
come his scraples by informing
him that there were rooms con
nected with the main saloon where
moral men can assemble without
comiDg in contact with anything
objectionable; and that many of
the best yong men in town spend
their evenings there. Pardon me,
dear, but have yon made home at
tractive to Hugh of late?”
“I am afraid uot, Cousin Helen,
for I have fallen into the selfish
habit of spending much of my
time in my own room. Thank you
for your timely suggestion.”
That evening as Hugh Nelson
was passing through the hall, hat
in hand, he was surprised to hear
his sister call out from the parlor:
“Are you goifig out, Hugh?”
“Ye-es,” he answered with hesi
tancy, for a glance into the pretty
parlor, with its glowing grate fire
and open piano, made him almost
wish that he was going to spend
the evening at home.
Come in a little while, please,
and help me select my new suit,”
pleaded Margie.
“Your new suit,” echoed Hugh
with astonishment. “What do I
know about girls’ suits?” '
“I believe you can help me,”
urged Margie, “for you display
fine taste in the selection of your
own clothes. You know, Hugh, I
have not been much accustomed to
choose for myself, and I miss
mama so much.” '
There was a quiver in the voice
that Hugh could not resist, and af
ter banging his hat on the rack, he
walked intp the parlor, and was
soon as deeply interested in the
examination of dress samples and
fashion-plates as his little sister
could wish.
From that time Margie followed
her cousin's suggestions to the
very letter. She laid her plans be
fore Hugh as she would have done
an older sister, always asking his
opinion concerning them, thereby
making him feel that she needed
his companionship and counsel.
By this means there was gradually
formed between this brother and
sister a bond of love which was
truly beautiful.
Years pased.and one evening while
Hugh and Margie Nelson were en
joying the quiet of their cozy par
lor, Margie was startled by an ex
clamation of horror from her broth
er, and on taming toward him saw
that he dropped the evening paper,
and had buried his face in his
hands. Catching up the paper
she anxiously glanced down the
column of the daily news until she
came to this item:
A young man, named Chester Win-
throp, was fatally wounded last evening
at the Gilded Palace saloon with a pistol
shot fired by David Holmes. Doubtless
both of the young men were under the
influence of liquor.
“Was Chester Winthrop once
your friend?”.asked Margie.
“Yes,” answered Hugh, as he
raised a pale fac&irom his hands;
and but for the influence of my
precious little sister I might be aB
be is to-night.”
Margie looked incredulous, for
Hugh had so many years teen an
earnest Christian that she-could
not imagine him as having sank to
such depths of degradation as
Chester Winthrop evidently had
done.
“After mother died,” resumed
Hugh, with emotion, “I was sad
and lonely. Father was absorbed
in business, you spent much time
by yourself, and I longed for spine
attractive place in which to spend
nsy evenings. Chester asked'me
to go to-the Gilded Falace saloon
which he said had every attraction
heart cohid wish. After mu<?h
urging I consented; bat on the ap.-
pointed evening yon wished me to
help yon select your new suit. As
I looked into the parlor, which yon
had made so bright and pretty, I
thought some other night would
do for my visit to the Gilded Pal
ace, so I yielded to your persua
sions, and spent Jhe evening at
home.
“Bat, after that, I found every
evening the same, for . yon always
had some pleasant entertainment
in store for me, and 1 finally came
to the conclnsion that onr .parlor
was Palace enough for me, and
that it would be difficult to find
more attractive company than that
of my own sweet sister.
‘And Margie,” he continued,
while a soft light came into his
eyes, “although I was not a Chris
tian, .you talked so freely with me
about your religions experiences
that I could not fail to see the
deep satisfaction yon found in the
religion of Jesus Christ. I soon
came to } earn for the peace and
rest that you evidently enjoyed,
and so I was led to yield my heart
to the Saviour. Ah, little Margie,
if all sisters were as good and wise
as mine has been, the saloon keep
ers would find few victims among
our yonng men.”

AN OBEDIENT EGG,
• “This is a queer egg you have
given me, mother,” said Woodruff
at the breakfast table; “see how it
stands on its smaller end!” Every
one at the table looked in astonish
ment. Sure enough there the egg
stood as Woodruff had said, and
what was more wonderful still, in
perfect balance on the brim of^a
bowl.
The boy took it down, and lo! it
assumed a slanting position on the
edge of the table, seemingly in the
act of falling down and. yet not
falling. All the girls almo'st
screamed in their amazement.
Next Woodruff took the egg and
pat it in a diffent position again on
its broad end, and finally clapped it,
as it were, slanting on the head of
a bottle of mineral water. The po
sitions which an-obedient egg may
be made to assume'are not all told
here. It may be placed in any oth
er position at the will of the per
son who handles it. ’It can stand
on end, sideways, inclined to the
right or left, half reclining, etc.
The preparation or “fixing” to
obtain such an obedient egg is
very simple. Let an egg be emp
tied through a small hole and then
thoroughly dried. Put into it
about two thimblefuls of fine, dry
sand, and plug the hole with white
wax. The sand inside will act as
ballast, and by slightly shaking the
egg thus “fixed” you can change at
will the centre of gravity and make
your shell assume any position you
like to the amazement of beholders.’
INDIANS AS SOLDIERS. ■
Army officers are quietly solving
one of the most difficult problems
with which our politicians have
had to contend, maintains the New
York News. They have taken the
Iudian in hand and made him
tractable. The have demonstrated
that he makes a good soldier and
is amenable to restraint. Appeal
ing to his pride, they have elicited
some of the splendid traits that be
long to the red man, and have
given Mm a new place in history.
Only an opportunity is needed to
farther demonstrate his farther
value as a preserver of the public
peace. One of the officers who has
been engaged in recruiting among
the Brule Sioux, reports that three
and a-half months of soldiering
has done more for their civilization
than many years of other methods.
This manner of utilizing strength
and affording contentment to a
people with whom the country has
been at war nince the Puritan first
put his foqt oh the continent, is
significant of the changes that are
taking place in the growth of the
nation.

Among ihe papers favorable to
the formation of a third party the
effort is being made to divert the
minds of the people from a consid
eration of the tariff, and to urge
them to treat it as a matter of mi
nor importance. This work of the
third party clamorers plays into
the hands of the Republicans, and
that organization is giving every
encouragement to it. If there is
anything the Republican party does
hot wish to have ventillated it is
the protective Lariff system. Such
ventillation can have bat one re
sult and that is to show how.stead
ily the system has bled the people,
and how it, more than any other
one thing, has been the canse of
the concentration of capital, the
creation of millionaires, aud of a
monopolistic and favored array of
classmen.
Bat the people cannot afford to
lose sight of the tariff issue. It is
paramount to all other issues, and
compared tojits importance, other
issues before the people are of
lesser moment. To relinquish the
fight on the protective swstem is
to give the manufacturers, million
aires and classmen continued pow
er to extort from the masses.
In 1850 the capitalists of. this
country owned but thirty-seven
and one-half per cent, of its wealth
In forty years this percentage has
more than doubled, and the capi
talists now own over seventy per
cent, of the wealth of the whole
country. In building up. these
capitalists the protective tariff lias
been largely instrumental. By it
manufacturers—and these are
among the chief capitalists—have
been enabled to put high prices
upon their goods, and free from all
competition, bleed the people to
the full scope of their avarice.
These men, favored by protection,
have preyed upon all the people.
It has been a steady drain on the
people, day and night, and. the
money thus extorted has been used
by them in’rendering the masses
still more dependent.
The tariff protected capitalist has
depended upon no particular set
of men for the tax which he has
steadily drawn all these years.
The land owner and the tenant;
the mechanic or workmen in the
factory and the laborer in the field;
the merchant and his clerk; the
lawyer and his client; the newspa
per publisher and the printer in
his office—these, with all their
families and dependents, have paid
tribute to the protected class.
Their dollars have gone into the
coffers of these government favor
ites, day and right, making the
classmen richer and more power
ful and the masses poorer aud
more dependent every year. The
money thus drawn from the mass
es and centralized in the hands of
the few has made the classmen the
dictators alike to the government
and to the people upon whom it is
founded.
And protection having wrought
this great change in forty years,
how short will be the time ere. the
favorites of that system will own
all the wealth of the country and
the people reduced to a state worse
than beggary and a condition more
degrading than slavery? How im
portant, then, in view of these
facts,"does the agitation of the tar
iff system become. Having beeu
the great factor in bringing about
this state of affairs, will not a re
moval of the cause prevent an even
more desperate condition? Will
its removal not keep the millions
of unrighteous tax money, which
has flowed into the treasuries of
the classmen, in the pockets of the
people? Is it not important to
discuss a system which has so
steadily bled the masseg and re
move forever a tax levied in the
interests of the favored few?
THE RESULT FORESHADOWED.
Monroe Advertiser.
Now that the cotton crop in this
section is approaching the close,
the result is very, clearly foreshad
owed that there will be a consider
able shortage in that crop. This,
too, foreshadows the farther result
that there will be against many
farmers an unsettled balance when
the sheets are made np, growing
out of the expenses • of the present
year. That these will be the final
results of this year’s farming oper
ations in this section is a foregone
conclusion.
Bat how these results have been
brought about, and what has pro
duced them, need not now be dis
cussed, as such'discussion can 'not;
and will not, give birth to a reme
dy.
But the important question that
concerns both debtor and creditor
is how to manage the unsettled bal
ance likely to obtain. Right along
upon this line we would suggest a
general resort to the most pacific
methods, if possible, believing that
such means would go as far as any
other method towards collecting
debts due.
But anxiety may sieze upon some
creditors and lead them to press
their claims against debtors to the
fullest extent, with a view to col
leering what is possible to obtain
under pressure.
The experiences of the past,how
ever, teach that this course does
not work out generally the best re
sults. Especially is this true in
many instances where a short in
dulgence might enable the debtor
to arrange for the emergency.
Besides, sometimes precipitate
and hasty pressure of collections
by the creditor class begets an un
necessary panicky feeling among
most all cl.asses; which feeling, if
possible,had best never be created.
In some instances it breeds disas
ter, where otherwise it would not
occur. Ordinarily pacific and per
suasive, not forcible, measures are
best for both debtor and creditor
u here the means for making clear
balances are not available.
But a shortage in the cotton crop,
or a shortage in money should not
be set up by any man as an excuse
for refusing to place his last avail
able dollar upon his honest and
just debts. However 1 , it is to be
hoped that wlien the gieanings of
the cotton crop are all in, the little
unpaid balances that may remain
will not be sufficient to produce
friction in the machinery of busi
ness.
GOVERNMENT LOANS ON LAND. 1
^ .jr
Macon Tclegyph.
Governor Jones of Alabama, in
a recent speech, described i an ex
periment made by that state fifty
years ago. The panic of-1837 had
protested the industries of the
state. The credit of eyen well-to-
do people was useless, and there
came from the people a demand
for relief that the state government
could not resist. The state’s cred
it was good, if that of individuals
was not, and it was argued that it
should be used to relieve the pop
ular distress. The argument pre
vailed, and the state borrowed 85,-
000,000 on bonds at par. This
money was loaned under a careful
ly constrncted'law. . No-more than
1,000 was loaned to any- one per
son, and the security required was
“two good and solvent sureties,” or
“a deed of trust on real estate and
slaves.” Every county was given
its proportionate share of the fund,
and the law was administered by
honest men.
But the result was not that ex
pected. The financial distsess was
not relieved. On the contrary, it
was increased by the collapse of
the banks through which the mon
ey was loaned, involving the loss
of even larger amounts of private
funds.
The experiment was a disastrous
failure not only in its immediate,
but in its lasting results. Alabama
stills owes the money which she
borrowed in 1837. Every year she
pays 8200,000 interest on these
bonds, and before. 1S76, when the
rate of interest was reduced, paid
a much larger sum.
If the general government loans
money on lands, as the third party
demands, it will merely repeat the
Alabama experiment on a vastly
larger scale. The result will be
the same. The debt created will
be a continuing one, and the result
will not be to relieve the financial
distress felt in some parts of the
country, but to add to it. The po
litical forces strong enough to
compel the creation of such a debt
will be strong enough for a long
time to prevent its redemption,
and • financial confusion, a depre
ciated currency, additional bur
dens oa the taxpayer, and more
complete dependence on the gov
ernment for assistance will follow.

afterwards the family was sur
prised to see lying all over the
yard dead turkeys. They lament
ed over losing their peacnes, cher
ries and turkeys, but concludrd to
have the negroes on the place gather
np all the dead turkeys and have
them picked and save the feathers
anyhow. So they gathered np 127

tails and wings to make fans out
of.
They closed oat all the tails and

smaller feathers were sold to
Messrs. J. C. Hamilton & Co., who

After picking the turkeys clean,
they went to Murchison Bros, and
got a wagon, and hauled the dead
picked turkeys off two miles. This
happened one afternoon; the next
day, about 11 o’clock, they were
surprised to see coming down the
road 127 picked turkeys. They
were not dead, bnt simply drank!
