II Good Prdciicc.-When you dig your
potatoes and gather your vegetables, car
ry the vines and other refuse to the pig
pen; also have your swine supplied with
the requisite quantity of weeds; let it be
as regular as the rising OF the sun, and
you will find by the beginning of October
there will be few left for seed. It is not
half the labor that it will be next year to
subdue their offspring; and you gain by
this operation two thirds the keep Of four
hogs on an ordinary farm of 100 acres.
This is profit even for the avaricious.-

"a Mir. Aymer, circus vaulter. The

but it cannot be increased faster than ma

They increased the quantity of money
from $50, 100000 in 1880, to $150,o0O,-
o0osin 1887. The consequence was, that
all prices rose 100 per cent. AS long
as this large quantity Of money was con-
vertible into spicie, it was as good, and
importers sent any quantity Of goods

prices the imports rose from $40, 0OO,.

If the tariff had raised prices 100
per cent, leaving still margin ofaao
per cent to foreign shippers. At the
same time the rise of raw material and
labor here destroyed the ability of the
manufacturers to compete at all with
foreigners. Hence it is that in 1912,
under low tariff, low prices and a spe
Gle currency, they recovered their ablll-
tv to export manufactures.
1t is singular anomaly that those peo-
pie contend for such contradictory and
suicidal measures. But it arises from
the fact that they are the dupes of pollti-

ACCIDENT ON THE SToNINeToN RAlLRoAp.-The
steamer Rhode Island was delayed in her arrival
until P. M. yesterday, by accident on the Sto-
nngton Railroad, which fortunately and providen-
TALLY produced no very serious consequences. The
cars, after leaving Providence, and when within
three miles OF Kingston, were proceeding at then
usual speed, when the engineer perceiving a large
OK on the track, reversed the engine. Being on q
declivity, it could not be Immediately stopped, and
in its progress caught the animal on the catch
er. In passing culvert, the OK, struggling to es-
cape, was further entangled and drawn beneath the
engine, which was thus precipitated from the track
the side of the road, and turned bottom upwards.
The engineer and assistant were slightly hurt. Be-
tween the engine and cars were inteposed the ten.
the forward "Jim Crow" car sent on one side,
without injury 10 any OF its inmates. An express
was Immediately sent of to Stonngton for an ell.
CINE and additional cars, and by great exertions
the part of the President of the Company, promptly
aided by some of his men near at hand, and kindly
assisted by the passengers, (among whom Colonel
Griffin OF New York was consplcuously active and
useful,) the wreck was entirely cleared, and the
train enabled to proceed immediately on the arrival
of the engine despatched from Stonington. Not
wlthstanding the crush, very slight shock was
municated to tae passenger cars, and there was no
further injury and but little alarm The passengers
by the Massachusetts, on the arrival of the above
train, proceeded Immediately on the road to Prov.
dence and Boston.

learning this, he landed her about mile from the

not only his own luggage, but the most valuable OF
