FROM EARLvILLE.

THE EARLyILLE CORRESPONDENT
of the FREE TRADER is doubtless mistaken
when he says that DR.. Ives is expecting to locate
at Earlville.-Ond,oa Republican.
The Earlville Correspondent is not mistaken
in regard to DIR. Ives locating at Earlville, nor
has he been mistaken in any of the events trans
pired, or 10 t,unspire, communicated to the FREE
TRADER. 1t ought not to be regarded as simply
An error to write untruths or mistakes for SO re-
spectacle and influential paper as the FREE
TRADER, but an Iuexcusab!e crime. NO man
has any business to be mistaken in deliberately
written article for paper. During two years
and more correspondence for the FREE TRADER
the Esrlville Correspondent has never once COM
municated, as news, an untruth to the FREE
TRADER There is nothing new under the sun.
Every event in the future has its counterpart in
the past. He who knows thoroughly yesterday
can with unerring certainty predict the to.mor-
row. There are new combinations of facts, but
no new facts. The light of the past will disclose
the future clearly to the careful observer.
The mistakes are made by these modern phi
losophers, who have cut loose from old mornings
and are floating in tho unknown sea of the iu.
ture, guessing their way, guided by the "hig CHEST
light within them" and not by the light of the
past or its musty presidents. These philoso-
piers, and such as these, will continually fall
into mistakes. A mistake is crime This is
myp philosophy And this philosophy held good
in morals, politics and religion. In fine, Dr.
Ives is coming to Earlville, where he has been
holding revival meetings considerable portion
of the past winter. The Earlville correspondent
had something to do in inducing him to come
and knows we'll whereof he affirms. Never look
for mistakes in matters OF news in the corres-
pondence from Earlvllle.
SALE OF A HORSE.
II. H. Hill, our popular landlord, has for two
years past driven quietly up and down Ottawa
street what has been regarded by some as good
family horse. Last week he sold this horse to
one who is able to appreciate fine horse for the
sum of 5000. The buyer took the horse to Chi.
cago and sold it for $1,000.

DID STANTON COMMIT SUICIDE The La
Crosse Democrat still persists in ts assertion that
Edwin NJ Stanton committed suicide. 1t says
HE died in the third story of house. No one
was allowed to see the corpse. He was not laid
in state, as the head of the War Department
should have been-as other men Of prominence
are. BE died. and was kept from sight. And
none of those who called to see the remains of
the "great statesman" could obtain view of the
corpse. In vain did his friends urge that the
body lay IN state in the War Department His
grave clothes were made to cover up his face.
He was q member of the Episcopal church, and
that church denies to suicides graves under its
prayers and protection. And to have made
known the manner of his death would have been
casting him out from church rites and Christian
burial. And this would have had great politi.
cal effect, and so consultation called at II
o'clock at night, was held, and it was decided
that the truth must not be known
"And again, why was his body taken up qui.
city the week after interment, and another put
in its place? Simply that the manner of his
death might neve, be proven.

SURE CURE FOR CORNs-Mr. Rose, mer-
chant of San Diego, announces that these orea.
tors of much misery in this world, can easily
and surely be cured by applying good coat Of
gum arabic mucilage every evening on going to
bed. He suffered with them for forty years,
and tried nearly all the corn doctors and corn
remedies in existence, without relief, until he
applied the above, which readily cured him in a
few week.

THE CHEROKEE ROsE.-The legend of the
Cherokee rose is as pretty AZ the flower itself
An Indian chief of the Seminole tribe was taken
prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokees, and
doomed to torture, but he fell SO seriously i'll
that it became necessary to wait for his restora-
ton to health before committing him to the fire.
And ~ he lay Frustrated by disease in the cabin
of the Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the
latter. young dark-faced maid, was his nurse.
She fell in love with the young chieftain, and
wishing to save his life, urged him to escape /;
but he would not do so unless she would fee
with him. She consented. Yet before they had
gone far impelled by soft regret at leaving home,
she asked permission of her lover to return, for
the purpose of bearing away some memento of
it. So, retracing her footsteps, she broke sprig
from the white rose which climbed up the poles
of her fathers tent, and, preserving it during
her fight through the Wilderness planted it BY
the door of her new home in the land of the
Seminoles. And from that day this beautiful
flower has always been known between the
capes of Florida and throughout the Southern
States by the name of tho Cherokee Rose.

ABOUT PoTAToEs, Not a little
discussion has been indulged in by
writer's in the various agricultural
journals respecting the proper time
to dig, and the proper time to care
for potatoes after they are dug.
Our opinion with regard to digging
is that, when the vines are dead, y
this occures before the frost kills
them, the sooner the potatoes are
dug the better, They are ;ben sup
posed to be ripe. Artera potato Is
ripe, II allowed to remain in wet
earth its quality is harmed. lfthe
vines are killed by frost before the
tuber Is ripe, we should let them
remain IN the ground as long as the
frost will allow with entire safety,
Potatoes ripen, if they do not grow,
after the vines are thus destroyed.
As TO subsequent care, the mode
adapted BY the best growers Is to
put them Immediately In q e0ol,
dry cellar, IN bins raised about six
inches from the ground, aud not
over three or four feet wide, with
slat bottom and sides, so that the
mir can circulate freely through the
mass.
In this way. unless they are pois.
oned before putting in the cellar,
potatoes can be kept from August
to April.-Heartb and Home.
