CREAM OF OUR EXCHANGES.

The Wenons Iadcr opposes the elective" plan
of nominating congressman proposed by the
radical congressional committee in that district
It fears such a course will divide and defeat the
radicals.
Well, all right. THAT is a consummation de-
voutly to be wished
The IadGr still continues TO announce Joseph
5. Palmer as candidate for Sheriff, subject to the
decision of republican convention
Is Joe still in the field
The Bloomington PnttgraM. in its zeal to ad-
vocate the claims of Merriam. its candidate for
congress, asserts that he Is sure to carry tue
counties of Mclean. Tazeweil, DE Witt and Lo.
gan, because he lives in all TOUR of tnem.
If this be true he must be a very insignificant
man-only the sixth of man, in any place.

We had heard that business was very dull at

but We did not suppose their streets could pro.

The following historical parallel is suggested
to us by an admirer of France; The first Napol-
cons star began to pale when he transferred his
fealty from Josephine to Marie Louise and the
same fate followed the nephew of his uncle when
he turned from Eugene towards Nancy! With
full stock of such brilliant ideas our friend
might start a jewelry store.

The Hog Market.

As the time is nj hand when our farmers
arc Interested in the hog market, we clip
the following from the New Albany lind }
LC3gCr, which shows something of the
market there
II is the opinion Of those most compe-
tent to Judge that pork will rule at low fig
'r"s this fall. Tho corn crop was very
large, and stock hogs generally abundant
These fac taken in connection with the
probability that there will not be q very
large foreign demand, and also the well
known fact that hogs for the past two
years ruled extremely high, leaving very
little margin for packers, will conduce
greatly TO bring about 4 combined effort to
keep down the price of fattcd hogs, and
consequently the very material reduction
in the price of pork and packed meats. We
heard this morning of n transaction which
took place in Louisville yesterduy-the
purchase of seven hundred barrels Of pork
for January delivery, at 500 l"~ barrel
This Is certainly q very neavy reduction
rs compared with the prices which ruled
at the same time last season.
Contracts for pork were made IA Pike
county, ten days ago, for delivery N0yem-
Der 10Th, at 500; but buyers would hard
ly offer more than 1925 gross, las week
Corn is selling at Soc. and wheat at 1Jc.
Soc, for choice.
The market for hogs is quite depressed,
and farmers are making up their minds to
aecept the lower scale Of prices offered by
packers. The yield will be large, and the
hogs will generally be well iltted, rs there
is plenty of corn to feed. so writes Glib
son county farmer.

Bold Robbery at Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Is evincing other signs OF
progress besides increase Of population and
prosperity. The Times of yesterday con
tains an account of one of the boldest rob
berries we have lately heard of:
1.-THE heroes of this achievement are
George ID. Critchett and Scotty Mcintosh.
George Critchett is man of about 25 years
of age, medium height, and was consider
ed to he sporting character, but no such
acte as the one for which he now waits
trial were ever attributed to him.
" Critchett's alleged companion in crime
Scotty Mcintosh, has heretofore been
known as n quiet, inoffensive and appa-
rcntly harmless man, of about % years of
age, of medium height, sandy Completed,
and light built. He has been employed as
bar-keeper for different salools, and al
ways enjoyed good character for honesty
and industry
The particulars of the robbery, as given
by the assaulted parties, are that the two
men had been in company with Critchett
and Mcintosh during the early part of the
evening, and one of them accidentally
showed a few hundred dollars in money,
which, however, he deposited in the EX
press office later in the day for shipment
The parties state that they are from Ma
bama, but refused to give their names.
The robbery was committed about two
O'Clock tuesday morning, near the corner
Of Market and seventh streets. The high
waylncn approached from behind the
strange, 9nd each made n dash for his
man. CriJunctt succeeded in getting about
$50 out of his mans pockets, but "Scotty'
was not so successful, and would have pro-
badly been whipped out in short time, if
left to his adversary but the cry &C "po-
liceW was raised, and before the robbers
could get away with their booty, they were
placed under range of n couple of revolvers
in the hands of John Hankins and Ed
Hagan, of the special police force, who
took them to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury.
An indictment was returned and true
bill found, which will have u hearing at
this term of court, if possible"
The first named robber, Critchett, was a
candidate for Chief Marshal Of Chattanoo-
ga, and was considered the big dog in the
fight" the Times says.

The Horse from n Moral Standpoint.

The driver who fights his horses has not
got through the first lesson in the manage
mcnt of these animals. Some strike their
horse in tit of anger others beat them rs
n punishment for what they conceive to be
sinful acts on the part of the horse.
Now, the fact is, the horse never does
wrong on purpose. In this respect he is
better than most men. L he refuses to
pull it is the fault of education, and if he
runs away and kicks things to pieces, it is
because he is frightened. Men when they
are scared do some very foolish things, and
they are excused, but no allowance is made
for the runaway horse. He is kicked
su6 ed and beat, as if what was done was
on purpose to hurt somebody, and not in
consequence of supposed danger, which
the poor animal was trying to flee from.
Horses never kick without Il motive
,3hey use their heels for defense, and the
first kick at the traces is given to ward off
what to them seems danger. No horse
ever kicked for any other purpose. They
cherish no ill-feoling against any one, and
always DO, rs lar as they know, what is
right.
All horses can be educated o do what
ever the driver wishes. They obey cheer
fully and without grumbing, even though
put to rest with half ratious in a cold,
filthy, muddy stable. ! horse can easily
be taught to know the harness will not
hurt him. Then he will not Kick at it and
run away.
He is also easily taught to pull by the
traces or by the halter-strap. IfyOu want
him to pull well on the halter, all you
have to do is to hitch him with something
he can easily break, and he will soon learn
to pull back with such force that no bri-
die will hold him. If you want him TO
pull well by the traces, give him light
load until he learns TO move it, and he will
soon pull his best at heavy loads.
Horses balk or pull just as they are
taught. 1t does not matter which end of a
horse you fasten the weight TO. They will
balk as readily when hitched by the traces,
if Improperly trained, as when hitched by
the halter; and they will pull back as
faithfully by the halter, if trained TO do So
as they pull forward, when hitched by the
traces TO a wagon.
1t is an easy matter 10 teach a horse to
refuse to pull at either the halter or traces,
and it is equally as easy to teach him to
pull by the same means. If thU-r who
drive horses would keep this fact in view,
and keep their temper out Of view, they
would never be guilty Of the shamiul act
OF beating their team in mud-hoie or on
the hillside

but 81 most effective school n greater
number of practical printers have occupied
positions of honor, in the United States,
than any other profession. Benjamin
Franklin, whose name is immortal, was II

with the names of printers who have held
State and Federal offices. In our own
State, the craft is well representedin the per-

longs alike TO horses and humans-obsti-
macy.
lie refused to advance one step at the
will of the driver, who again and again
urged him on. But the horse only turned
his head deiiantly round towards the car
riage and said, in the plainest horse Ian
guage, " No, sir; ! don't intend to give it
up"
His driver dismountcd and took hold of
the bits, but the proud head went up with
n still more defiant jerk, and an air which
said, | shall fight it out on this line
The driver, in despair, again takes his
seat, and is vainly urging the obstinate
animal, when a lady steps gracefully for

mankind, and especially TO honellind at
this particular moment. In her hand arc
two apples. She holds one to the mouth
of this obstinate animal. What horse
with a particle of chivalry in his nature
could resist such mode of warfare? Ger
tainly not this one.
His lips take in the delicious morsel and
his obstinacy vanishes in a moment. He
starts readily, but the lady evidently be-
licvcs in finishing the work thoroughly,
and holds out one more to him. He takes
it rs gracefully NJ it is given, and then
with right good will and at a good pace,
starts in the proper direction. Two apples
did that work. Drivers of obstinate horses, |
take notice! Keep a little supply of this
kind of urging in your pockets, and you
will save time, patience and temper.

RUSSIA has improved the time when the
eyes of all Europe are on Bismarck and his
armies in France, to do 4 neat little stroke
of business in Central Asia. Far beyond
the Ural Mountains lies the province of
Samarcand, dependant of Bokhara until
two years ago, when the troops of the Car
penetrated thither, made war on the Emir,
and forced him to cede to Russia Samar
cand and the whole middle course of the
river Ser Afshan. They, moreover, turn
ed this same Emir of Bokhara into a mere
Russian Governor, and made his rich pro-
vince part Of the empire of the Gar. This
summer the conquest of the Russians has
been extended to the Independent province
of Sherizebs, south of Samarcand. The
country has been invaded, its capital taken
10y assault, and the entire state made sub
servient to the Bokhara Emir, who is, as
already stated, merely a vassal of Russia.
Thus, step by step, the Muscovite Colossus
is reaching farther and farther into the
rich districts of Central Asia, extending
farther and farther the conquests which al
ready heightened the Russian Empire from
the White Sea to the EuXine, from the
Baltic Sea to the Pacific ClcrciGpd Lead
