A STATE CHEMIST FOR TENNESSEE
We learn that the farmers of Tennessee are
seeking to induce the Legislature of that
State to provide for the appointment of a
State Chemist, who shall analyze its soils
and determine the comparative value of
the different manures, homemade and
commercial. We have had Chemist in
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington who was not worth to the country
the salt boy can put on flying birds
tail, but who drew his salary regularly.
Fortunately for the country, General Cap
ron took this Chemist to Japan with him,
and the Department is now hunting for
another. If one is got that is good for any
thing, he ought to do all the work that
Tennessee will want done. Soil analyses
are, as rule, of little practical value; but
the analysis of commercial manures will
help to detect swindlers and protect farm
ers. This the Department ought to en-
ploy its Chemist to do.-RUrdy NetO York

congressman stokes Bounty Frauds.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-General w. b.
Stokes, having furnished a satisfactory
bail, has been allowed the freedom of the
city until his case comes up for hearing be-
fore the Criminal Court. Stokes affects
to make light of the whole suit, and says
that evidence will be forthcoming to show
that he has defrauded nobody. Neverthe-
less, the President, in view of this situa-
ton, has thought it advisable to relieve
Stokes from his duties as Collector of In
ternal Revenue in Tennessee. According
to the specifications in the warrant uroH
which Stokes was arrested, certificates of
bounty money were issued exclusively To
Stokes, notwithstanding numerous claim
agents in the city had papers in several of
these cases. The total amount of money
received by Stokes is placed at Sl20, 600.
whereas Government officials who were
sent to Tennessee to work up this fraud.
say that only S51 800 was paid to bona fde
claimants, and that S6S, 400 remains to be
accounted for.

A GoOD JOKE ON A RAILROAD PRESI-
DENT.-Col. Cook, General Ticket Agent
of the Peoria, Pekin and Jacksonville rail-
way, tells good joke on the President of
one of the railroads of Central Illinoisd.
He says that the railroad official referre
to was in New York recently, and wishing
to return via the Erie Railway, applied to
Col. Jim Fisk for a pass over that great
thoroughfare. Upon introducing himself
to the redoubtable Fisk, and making
made out and handed to him. Just as he
was turning to leave, Fisk said: ooh, Mr..
A, what is the length of your road ?"
and when receiving the reply, Eighteen
or twenty miles," said, "Ah, if 1 had
known that 1 would have given you a
check for the road instead of pass"
Whereupon the Illinois railroad President
suddenly vanished in the distance.

The Fashions.

The fashions, we are told, are to be radi-
cally changed: Gentlemen will part
their hair not so much to one side, and
nearer the centre of the head this is un-
derstood to be graceful recognition OF the
advancing claims of womanhOod for the
equalization of the sexes. Moustaches
with waxed ends have entirely lost fame
since Sedan and the demolition of the
French Empire. To wear them argues an
ignorance of current events that is very
discreditable. Red ties were for time
very popular, but unless person wishes to
be understood as holding Communist
principles they will be discarded now.
The fate of whiskers trembles in the
balance; it depends on the truth or falsity
of the Darwinian hypothesis. At present
there are two parties, those who accept
and those who deny. The former cultl-
vate whiskers, the more abundant the bet
ter-they are not disposed to deny their
ancestry; the latter incline to perfectly
smooth visage, and would even sacrifice
the pettet moustache to remove every sha-
dow of semblance to their reputed bro
theirs. The question is debatable, and
meanwhile every one can exercise choice"
The fashionable dress for gentleman at
day wedding is the English suit of dark
frock coat, lavender pants, black or white
vest, blue necktie and lavender gloves for
evening weddings black dress coat and
pantaloons, black or white vest and black
necktie.

1t Is well known fact that VIM. NJ

those who will hold them safely. Within

CheAn Building.

AS matter of interest to considerable
number of our readers, we publish the fol-
lowing: arrr
They have an association of working
men in Boston which is well worth
initiating everywhere. It's object is to Sc
cure for its members cheap houses by a
sort of cooperative plan. Mr., Josiah
Quincy, who is at the head of the associa-
tion, says they propose to build fifty
houses of better class, which, if erected
singly, would cost 50, 600 each, or S1OO 900.
Assuming that there would be discount
of twenty-five per cent, as / am assured
by builders would be the case, if contracted
for together, the cost would be ST., 900. Of
this each member pays down $500, or S1O,-
600 in the aggregate, reducing the amount
required on mortgages to $50, 900, or about
two-thirds of the value of the houses if
erected singly, assuming that the money
is obtained at seven per cent. interest, and
that interest is received on the deposits" !"
This is briefly Mr.. Quincy's plan. At the
end of seven years-she owners meanwhile
paving at the rate Of $3.50 per year rent
the entire indebtedness would be cleared
off and surplus left to the credit of the as
sociation of $13, ,267

How Brigham Young Squares His Accounts

1UN DIISHdm IOuHS OQudIcS Ills ACCOUHtS'
Five years ago Brigham was very ill as
soon as he was cOnvalescent he asked the
Chief Clerk of the church for a statement
of the Trustee-intrust's account with him.
To the horror of the head of the church he
learned that he was little under 81 900, 900
on the wrong side of the books. 1t nearly
drove him crazy. He could not compre-
hend it. The clerks pointed to his real
estate-he has here over 81 100000 in
houses. Had he been doing straight-for-
ward business, settling with his working
men, and paying for his property at his
own desk, he would have known how he
stood with himself, the Trustee-intrust
Instead of this he built, improved, pur-
chased, worked at numerous things, and
his own personal clerks sitting on one side
of his office drew "Ordersn upon the tith-
ing Office and the church treasurer on the
other side of his office. Within the one
building Brigham had done all his conve-
nient business of washing one hand with
the other" What was to be done? As
mildly as a Uriah Heep he creeps up to the
desk. "Well, I think my services to the
church have been worth something ?'
Eyes, indeed, sir.p "Yes, we'll, just bal
ance my personal account with the Trus-
tee-in-trust for services rendered" 1t was
done. This worked very well when con-
fined TO church affairs, but was very un-
successful with the Gentiles.
Brigham has a hunchback agent named
Musser, who has for the last three years
travelled all over the country and by flat
terry and the promise of the blessing of the
Lord and his servant, Brigham, has OBJ
tanned in the name of Brigham Young,
deeds for property that amount to over
$40 600, 600.
