WASHINGTON, October 3.-The Alex

Saturday noon the freshet gradually
subsidized. Mr.. Blakemore, his wife and
three children, and Mrs Ridgeway were
at the table breakfasting when the

A MODEL MARRIAGE CERrIF1

A MODEL MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
The following is a copy of a marriage
certificate that was found few wears
ago in the clerks office of Peoria county,
State of Illinois. which certificate was
issued in the primitive days of the Suck
er State. 1t seems that there was low
ing couple that lived in a neighborhood
called Copperas precinct, Peoria county,
who were very anxious to get married,
but they could not find minister who
had been licensed, nor a Justice of the
Peace who had been commissioned 10
marry people. They finally met with a
Justice who concluded to set them ago
ing, and gave them the following cerlif-
cate: t4a
To all the World, Greeting:
Know We that John Smith and Peggy
Myers are hereby certified TO go together
and do as old folks does, anywhere inside
of Copperas precinct, and when my COM
mission comes l an, to marry 'em good

You may think this idle talk, but it is not.
Astronomy shows tbas the earth is oscil-

at the North Pole it is growing colder

glaciers or icebergs at the North Pole

WHAT SHALL WE PLANT?-The farm
er must be guided in this as in the rota-
ton of crops. However well he may
have the rotation established in bis mind,
an untoward season will sometimes en-.
tirely disarrange his plans. So, too,
with his crops. A late and backward
spring will often prevent the sowing of
the usual quantity Of small grain, and he
usually falls back on corn, and some
times as a consequence from inability to
tend it all properly, suffers more or less
than if he had let bis land lie in fallow.
Hungarian, millet, and even buekwheat
may often properly be sown, and it
comes in ut time when it is easily taxi
en- care of. The fist two make excellent
hay il cut before the seed is formed -
If cut later on their sowing the seed will
usually pay for the labor expended. We
never have buckwheat enough in the
market and hence its high price aud uu-
blushing authorizations. 1t however does
not succeed well 10 hot, dry climates and
for this reason, perhaps, is SO little sown
in the West. But if sown late enough
in the season it generally pays its way
even here. 1t is also one of the most
valuable crops upon falow to plow un'
der, just rs it is fairly in blossom. In
Northern Illinois the proper time fol-
sowing is from the twenty fifth Of June
TO the fourth of July. 1t takes from
eighty-fve to ninety days to ripen its
crop Tor cutting.

The SwindIing Funding Bill of Senator


The swindling Funding Bill of Senator
lG asal1 aiii Sherman.
Senator Sherman, from the Finance
Committee of the United States Sen
ate has reported what he calls bill
"to authorize the funding and consol-
idation of the National debt, to ex-
tend banking facilities, and to estab-
lish specie payments Senator Sher-
man, asis well known, is not the rep
resentatiye of the people of Ohio, but
is the paid agent and exponent of the
views of the bondholders and Nation
al bankers. Let us see what he pro-
poses to do in their behalf. 1t is this !:
To take 81, 200, ,OO0, 600 of bonds, which
are now due in legal-tenders, bearing
six, per. cent. interest in gold, and
make the following disposition of
them: $4O0, 100000 are to be payable
in ten years, S4OO,0O0OOO in fifteen
years, and $4o0OO0,00O in twenty
years from date, but they are not due
until twenty, thirty and forty years
from the present time. The interest
upon the first batch is five per cent. /;
the second is four and half per cent.
and the third is four per cent, paya-
BILE annually in coin. Let us see, if
this bill should pass, what the people
would have to pay under it. First,
the S4oO,O00,0O0 for twenty years, at
five per cent, principal and interest,
amounts to SS00,O00,OO0. The second
$400, 900, 900, at four and half per
cent, in thirty years would be $780,
100000. The last $4OO, 900, in for
| ty years, would be 81, ,O40, 100000, prin-
cipal and interest. In all, to pay the
81, ,200000,000 of five-twenties, which
cost their purchasers not to exceed
forty-five cents on dollar or $540, :
100000, which are now payable at
that price, Senator Sherman would
oblige us to give, in forty years, the
immense sum of $2,7s0,0O00O0. In
other words, he would agree to null
tiply our debt by nearly six for one.
This is not all. AT present, while the
holders of the five-tyenty bonds have
a guaranty. from the Federal Govern
ment that their bonds shall not be
taxed by State and local authority,
there is no stipulation prohibiting the
Federal Government from doing so.
The probability is that, ere long, they
will be taxed by it as other property
4 Is taxed, about two per cent. This
would net us S25,0O0000 year on the
81, ,2O00Oo,0O0, and in forty years
would constitute sinking fund large
eaough to pay the whole debt. This

AN argument in favor of railroads
has bee given by the Geauga Demo-
crat. 1t is that they decrease the bur-
den of taxation. Railway property
is large and valuable addition to the
duplicate of a county, while the ex-
penses of county government are not
sensibly increased. "A clear gain of
revenue is thus made to any county
through which a railroad is built.
