Almost every business inter,
est, nowadays is managed and
controlled by rings, or associa-
tions of men formed, for mutu,
al benefit and protection, and
so unscrupulous and powerful
have some Of these rings be-
come, that they even manipu.
late and control the govern
ment of the country and use it
as an instrument to advance
their own interests. This
seems to be the age of rings,
and rings are all the go. We
have Whiskey rings, Gold
rings, Rail Road rings, Iron
rings, Stock, Cotton, and q
thousand and one other rings,
all formed and operated for the
express purpose Of advancing
their peculiar interests and
wR1NG1NG from the pockets o.
the people their hard earnings
Recently, we notice, the
publishers of school books have
formed a ring for the purpose
of controlling the price o.
school books, and hereafter
persons purchasing books fol
the purpose of educating theil
children, will be compelled tc
pay just such tribute to the
huge publishing houses, as this
newly formed ring, shall please
to designate.
Inasmuch as rings are SC
fashionable, we suggest the
propriety of the people form
ing rings for their own protec
tion. They have interests tt
be protected quite as much as
these bloated monopolists.-
Therefore, by all means, let vi
have a Peoples ring, for th'
protection Of the rights of th'
people.
Why not ?

How Sage Grows Best.

Sage grows best in a light,
warm, rich soil. 1t may be
grown from slips or cuttings,
but in this country it is most
commonly propagated from
seed, Sow thinly in drills
eighteen inches apart, and from
a half to three-fourths Of an
inch deep. When the plants
are two inches high, they are to
be thinned to a foot apart in
the drills. Fresh rows may be
formed by the plants so taken
up. Sage should be gathered
for drying before the flowers
shoot out, and if cultivated for
the leaves, the f1ower-stalks
should be CUT out as ,oon as
they appear. This increases
the product, as the leaves start
out more vigorously and grow
larger.-[M Mass. Ploughman.

[From the Ashland Unlon.l
RNtrcnChInGnt,

During the campaign Of last
year, Gov. Hayes published an
address to the people Of Ohio,
in, which he commented in Sc,
we're terms upon the assumed
proAigacy and extravaganza Of
the two preceding years OF
rule, under the Democracy,
and asserted that if the Aboli.
tion party could be restored to
power in Ohio, taxation would
at once tumble down to a mod.
crate rate, and the State would
be restored to prosperity.
The fact was, that if the
Legislature had followed the
recommendations of Gov,
Hayes, our taxes would have
been increased nearly two mil
lions; but the fierce denuncia-
tions and bold declarations Of
Gov. Hayes had their effect
upon the people, and the Abo'
lition party carriedLthe Legisla
ture by small majority.
Let US now inquire how these
promises have been carried out!
The Legislature met-a Re
publican speaker was elected
the House was organized tc
suit the majority. The work
of retrenchment so vehementIy
urged, was begun. The session
has now closed, and the taxes
Of the people have been increa-
ed over six hundred thousand
dollars. This is the retrench
ment Of Hayes and his party.
The flunkies who stole theil
way into the Legislature, with
few exceptions, from Cincinnati
turned out fit representative
of deception, perfdy and ex
travagance. The most corrupr
and profigate measures origin
ated from that delegation, anC
the hopes of retrenchment tha
impelled that people to elect {
reform ticket, SO called, have
been sadly dissipated.
Let the Abolition leader
hereafter stink into retirement
for they have shown that n'
reliance can be placed upol
their promises and pledges
They are tax eaters, spend
thrifts, and should be so re
garded in the future.

butter can not be made without
a careful observance Of the
following rules {:
l. Perfect cleanliness in ev-
cry thing, from the milking Of

down.
2. A dry and well-ventilated
room In which tosset the milk,
at a Temperature of from fifty
to sixty-three degrees.l
3. Cream not to stand over

frequently better-in winter /,
and in summer twelve to eigh-
teen hours, in n1ost dairy;roon1s.
4. Stir the cream and add q
little salt at each time Of skims

Advertising is the life and
soul of business. In q country
like ours, with a people so
wide.awake and impetuous, it
is doubtful whether inevitable
failure would not attend any

to set out with, and persistently
adopt a determination not to
advertise. Some of the great.

Do Fruits Mix e?

We notice the belief is en-
tertained by some leading po-
mologists that not only straw
berries mix by having different
varieties in juxtaposition, but
that pears will do the same
thing! We have our doubts
of this, at least we have never
observed anything of the kind
among our own fruit, though
growing side by side. We all
know that a pistillate straw
berry must be fertilized by a
staminate variety, and this
staminate may be changed year
after year without modifying in
any degree the original berry.
We all know, too, that con-
tinuing this practice, the Allen
raspberry by Itself is a poor
bearer of small fruit, but if
fructifed by another raspberry
whose inforescence occurs at
the same time, it will produce
larger, better and three or four
times as much fruit, but they
are strictly the Allen still. We
also know the same to be the
case with grapes when vines of
different varieties are placed in
juxtaposition We must have
very strong proof before we
can believe that the pollen of
one fruit transmits to another
fruit belonging to the same
family anything more than
when necessary, an assistance
in its productive capacity

MISCELLAN ECU
From the Ottawa Republican,
A Cat and Rat Fight.

A farmer living near Peru,
ILL.,, was sitting in his barn 81,
lently engaged in mending an
old harness, when he observed
his favorite cat Tom cautiously
approaching an opening behind
two barrels. Tom squatted
near the point Of observation
his tail moving with majestic
slowness, his ears set forward
inQuiringly, while his body
glided nearer and nearer the
opening. Suddenly he shot
forward and as quickly back
again, bringing with him a
huge rat. The rat struggled
violently and squealed terribly,
but Tom laughed, his long,
black tail proudly perpendicu-
lar. Tom laughed before ne
was out Of the woods, for the
terrible screams of his victim
called whole regiment of rats
to the rescue. They rushed in
upon Tom from every point of
the compass, too swift and too
numerous to be counted.
Tom was surprised out of his
discretion and sprung up three
feet from the floor. with q rat
holding to each hind leg, and
the rest eager for him to come
down. He came down Of
course, and then began a most
fearful struggle. Tom swore
terribly Gin cat.latin) furious
fell his blows. The rats fought
in silence except when Toms
sharp teeth met under the
backbone of some luckless
wretch. Tom was losing ground;
the pressure was too great for
him; he was down, two OF
three clinging to each leg, had
o dozen at his throat, and rats
swarming all over him. AT
this critical moment an Amazon
cat, with her tw o grown kittens,
leaped from the haymow and
pitched lin for Tom. This
timely reinforcement soon end
ed the struggle. Tom limped
away, bleeding freely, but the
dead and dying victims of his
powers were no less than thir
teen besides the wounded thai
escaped.

How to be Handsome.
Most nennle Eke tn IhA hnl

Most people like ODE hand
some. Nobody denies the
greater power which any per
son may have who has a good
face, and who attracts you by
good 10 ks, even before a word
has been spoken. And we see
all sorts of devices in men and
women to improve their good
looks-paints and washes, and
all kinds of cosmetics, including
a plentiful amounting with dirty
hair oil.
Now, not every one can have
good features. They. are as
God made them; but almost
any one can look well, espec-
ially with good health, 1t is
lard to give rules in a very
,hort space, but in brief these
will do i:
Keep clean--wash freely and
universally with cool water,
All the skin wants is leave to
act freely, and it will take care
of itself It's thousands of air
holes must not be plugged up.
e 1t regularly and simply.
The stomach can no more work
all the time, night and day,
than horse; it must have reg
ular work and regular rest.
Good teeth are a help to
good looks. Brush them with
a soft brush, especially at night.
Go to bed with the teeth clean.
Of course, to have white teeth
it is needful to let tobacco
alone. Every woman knows
that. And any powder or
wash for the teeth should be
very simple. Acids may viii
ten the teeth, but they take of
the enamel or injure it.
Sleep in a cool room, in pure
air. No one can have a clean
skin who breathes bad air. But,
more than all, in order to look
well, wake up the mind and
soul. When the mind is awake,
the dull sleepy look passes
away from the eyes. | do not
know that the brain expands,
but it seems to. Think, read
not trashy novels, but books
that have something in them.
Talk with people who know
something; hear lectures and
learn them.
This is one good preaching.
A man thinks and works, and
tells us the results. And, if
we listen, and hear, and under.
stand, the mind and soul are
walked up.
IF the spiritual nature is
aroused so much the better.
We have seen a plain face
really glorifed by the love Of
God and man which shone
through it,
Let us grow handsome. r
Men say that they can't af-
ford books, and sometimes they
don't even pay for their news
paper. In that case it does
them little good, they must feel
so mean while they are reading
it.
But men can afford what
they really choose. If all the
money spent in selfindulgence.
in hurtful indulgence, was spent
in books, in selfimprovement
we should see a change. Mer
would grow handsome, and
women too. The soul would
shine out through the eyes,
We were not meant to be mere
animals.
Let us have books and reaC
them, and lectures and heal
them, and sermons and heec
them.
