Testing her Innocence.

The following touching scene recently
occurred in Partisan court of justice: A
poor, pale, wan scamstress was arr1ignCd
for theft. She appeared at the bar with a
boy eleven or twelve months old in her
arms, her child. She went tp get some
work one day, and stole three coins of l0f
each. The money was missed soon after
she left her employer and a servant was
sent to her room to claim it. The servant
found her about tn quit the rooms with the
three gold coins in her hand. She said to
the servant, " | was going to carry them
back to you Nevertheless she was car
ried to the Commissioner of Police, and he
ordered her to be sent before the police for
trial.
She was too proud to engage lawyer,
and when asked by the judge what she
had to say for herself, she answered
"The day l went to my employers car
ried my child with me. 1t was i'm my arms
as ii is now. l was not paying attention
to ii. There were several Othergold pieces
on the mantel-piece, and unknown to me
it stretched out its little hands and seized
the three pieces, which I did not observe
until | pot home. | at once put on my
bonnet, and WAS going back tn my en-
ployer to return them when | was ar
rested. This Is the solemn truth, a. nope
for Heavens mercy"
The court could not believe such a story.
They upbrnided the mother Tor her lmpu-
dence in endeavoring to palm off such u
manifest lie for the truth. They bcsought
her, for her own sake, to retract so absurd
a tale, for it could be of no effect, but oblge
the court to sentence her to much seVerer
punishment than they were disposed TO in
fiict upon one so young, evidently stepped
SO deep in poverty.
These appeals had no effect, except .
strengthening the poor mothers pertilIu-
| cious adherence to her original story. As
| this firmness was sustained by that look of
limo ence which the most adroit criminal
can never counterfeit, the court were at
somr loss to discover what decision justice
! dem nded. To relieve their cmbarrass-
ment one Of the judges proposed to renew
| the scene described by the mother The
gold coins were placed on the clerks table
The mother was requested to assume the
position in which she stood at her employ
er's house. There was then breathing in
the court. The baby soon discovered the
bright coin, eyed it for moment, smiled
and then stretched forth its tiny hands anC
clutched them in its fingers with miser'i
eagerness. The mother was acquitted.

How People Live without Money.

Hundreds Of Mormon farmers living in
reasonably comfortable circumstances, and
having large families to clOthe and edu-
cate, will not see n dollar il money for
years. Such farmer wishes to purchase
a pair of shoes for his wife. He cOnsults
the shoemaker, who AYERS his willingness
to furnish the same for one load of wood.
He has no wood, but sells q calf for II
quantity of ddObcS, the ddObes for an order
on the merchant, payable in goods, and the
order for load of wood, and straightway
the matron is shod. Seven melons pur-
chase a ticket 10 the theatre. He pays for
the tuition Of his children, 70 cabbages per
quarter. The dressmaker receives for her
services four squashes per day. He settles
his church dues in sorghum molasses. Two
loads of pumpkins pay his annual sub
scriptions to the newspaper. He buys Il
"Treatise on Celestial Marriage" for a
load of gravel and bottle of soothing y-
rup for the baby for bushel of beans In
this primitive method until the advent of
the railroad, was nine-tenths of the bust
ness of the territory conducted. And even
now, in the more remote settlements, a
majority of all transactions are Of this
character.

Runiil. u Newspaper.

A contemporary newspaper publisher
mas discovered that it takes money to run
a newspaper, as any other business, and
no paper will succeed financially that car
ries on the dead-head system.
The printer has come to the following
conclusion: Amy mention of the peoples
affairs that they are anxious to see in print
is worth paying for, and when printed, is
generally rs beneficial az any other invest
ment of the same amount. The news
paper business is very CXacting on all con-
nected with it, and the pay is compare
lively small; the prOprietors risk more
more money for profit, and the editors and
reporters and printers work harder ana
cheaper than the same number of men in
any other profession requiring the given
amount of intelligence and training and
drudgery The life has its charms and
pleasant associations scarcely known by
the outside world; but ii has it's earnest
work, and anXieties and hours of eXhaus
tion, which, likewise are not known to
those who think the business is all fun.
,,ta raIv33a that neWspnperdom is a charmed
cil1sS. where the iavorite members live a
life of case and free from care, and go to
the circus at night, on free ticket, and to
the springs on free pass in the Summer,
is an idea which we desire to explode,
practically and theoretically. Business is
business; and the journal that succeeds is
the one that il run on square business

CARE or TOoIs.-A vast amount of mon
ey is annually worse than wasted 10y the
agriculturists of. this country in their
senseless lack of care of tools. They think
COR seem to think that because a moving
machine or a plough is mainly of iron, the
weather will not affect it, and SO both are
left standing where they were last used un-
til the next season comes, and so of nearly
all the implements on the farm. All this
is wrong. One of the best farmers east of
the Hudson expended, ten years ago, one
hundred dollars on n shed thirty feet long
by twelve wide, under which his cart, wa
gon, sled, moving ploughs, noes,
and chains, could be kept When not in use.
His implements are as good now as they
were then, with the exception of the inev-
liable wear which their use involves, and
in the opinion of the owner, the building
has savel him at least twenty per cent, of
its cost each year. The same roof can he
many times made to cover n loft which can
be used as u granary, or for some other pur-
pose which the business done upon the
farm may make desirable, at the same time
that the lower part is used for the purposes
indicated above.

FEEDING CATTLE IN THE FALL.-Not a
lew farmers, fearing the long winter fail
10 begin to feed their cattle until the time
10 do so il far oVcr-past. such course -
meadows are eaten into the earth, leaving
no protection for the winter, which all
plants need, and, what is worse, cattle that
begin the season poor require more food to
take them through than those in good or
der, and the supposed saving of few hun
dred pounds of hay in the fall involves the
feeding Of an equal if not larger quantity
in order to regain in March ana April
what is lost i'm November. We suggest
that the very day cattle fail to fill them
selves from the fields, they have hay or
corn-stallls to supply the deficiency.

BALKY HORsEs.-Itis rarely wen To
whip or kick or scold Il ballIy horse, "a is
the common practice. One of the best
modes is to feed him where he stands with
any accessible food such az oats, ears Of
corn or even grass by the wayside, or hay
from the wagon, which can be provided
for the emergency. Forgetting his whim
he will generally start without trouble.
Another good way is to do something not
harmful, but new rs filling his mouth
with loose dirt, which a desire To get rid of
will divert his thoughts, and before he
knows il he will be Jogging uncouciously
along. Sometimes, If one can spare the

The Albany Evening Journal publishes
the following item and remarks thereon :
" \ precocious youth Of Altoona, Penn,
having surrepttiously attained package
Of powder and cigar-stump, the other
evening, soon realized the fact that the
way OFT transgressor is hard. While
smoking the cigar-stump, he saw his moth
er coming toward him, and at once slid the
cigar into the pocket containing the pow
der. His hand, the cigar and the powder
got out of that pocket 'quiclier'n blazes,
bottled up for II few days rest at home
This Altoona boy was thoughtful beyond
his years Realizing that he had no right
to be smoking, he provided the means TO
blow himselfup, and thus saved his moth
or that trouble. How few children are
thus careful to keep Unnecessary care from
their parents! And when We remember
how much anxiety in the tender years of
infancy, etc, etc.

HARNESS. Every part of the harness
should fit 1t should be kept both clean
and soft. Frequently the collar becomes
covered with a compound Of dirt and
sweat, which makes it uneven, and should
be looked after as often as necessary.
When the harness gets wet hang it on
several pins instead of one, 50 that it will
not curl out Of shape when drying. Al
ways grease or oil after wetting, and be-
fore it is quite dry, if you would preserve
the. leather and make the harness easy for
the animal. a harness which is cared for
will last three or four times AS long rs one
that il neglected. Use Neat foot oil, and
always keep greasy WOODEN cloth to Wipe
and rub harness with.

two cents a pound less than it does in jan

raw. Put The meal, small potatoes, APP

THE BATTLEFIELD.

From the hill to which had been di-
rected by good authority to come, the en-
tire sweep of the Prussian and French
centres could be seen, and a considerable
part of their wings. The spot where
stood was fearful. 1t was amid ghastly
corpses, and the air was burdened with
the stencil of dead horses, of which there
were great numbers. was standing on
the battlefield on the l6th--the Plussian
side. On the left stretched like silver
thread the road to Verdun-to Paris, also
for the possession of which this series ot
battles had begun. 1t was between the
lines of poplars which stood against the
horizon on my left; and on, as far as the
eye could reach toward Metz, with mill
tary regularity, strung on this road like
beads, were the pretty villages, each with
its church tower. all of which are really
only hundred yards apart, although they
have separate names-Mars-la-To Fla
vigny, a little south of the road, Nlonville,
Rezonville and Gravelotte. On my right
were the thiekly wooded hills behind which
lies the most important village of the
neiehborhood, which ! had Just left
Gore. So environed was the foreground
of the battle which should, one would say,
be called the battle of Gravelotte, for it
was mainly over and around that devoted
