ALL NIGHT IN A MARSH.

Henry Osster, of Nankin, Mich, while
searching in the woods recently for mis-
sing COW, got mired in marshy piece of
ground. To his right, about ten feet
away, was knoll of solid ground, on
which grew thorn-apple tree, one of the
llmbs extending almost over the mans
head and about four feet beyond the reach
OF his arms. Thinking that If he could
get possession Of his gun he might secure
the limb, Osster took off his suspenders,
tied them together, and made moose on
one end, and after careful and tedious
manoeuvering lassoed the rifle and drag
ged it to him.
| This was after he had been in the mire
nearly two hours, and quite while after
dark. He was induced to believe that he
had not sunk any for the last half hour,
but the extra weight of his gun as he held
1t up sank him nearly to his hips in mo-
ment, and he quickly laid it down. Little
TUFTS OF grass growing up from spots Of
solid ground not much larger than his
hand were all around the man, but the
moment he laid hold Of them they fell
away, having no real support Osster
had pipe with him, and he got this from
his coat and twisted off the German silver
around the stem.
The ring he broke between his teeth,
bent it up like hook, and then fastened
it to his suspenders, determined to make
an effort to reach the limb. Time after
time he made throw, but the hook slip
ped OIL, or bent out straight, and at ten
O'Clock at night the victim was up to his
hips and slowly settling. Placing his
coat and vest on either side, and in this
way keeping his body from settling as
fast as it otherwise would, he ceased try
ing to shout, knowing that he could not
expect help before another day.
As Osster did not return at dark, his part
ner feared that he might have shot him.
self, or met with some accident, and
walked mile or so, in the direction from
which the man was expected, and stopped
within halt mile of where he was sink
ing down to death. Returning home, he
agreed to make further search in the
morning, and when the time came got a
n,eighbor to go with him. They took
| direction quite distant from where Osster
was to be found, and to be brief, searched
the woods until nearly noon, and then de-
termined to 60 to the hamlet and see if
Osster had been there.
In coming out of the woods they passed
within forty rods of where Osster was, and
were nearly half mile away when one of
them fired shotat squirrel on the fence.
All night long Osster had been slowly
sinking, and was up to the neck in mire.
Hearing the shot, he put forth his vocal
strength into one grand shout. followed by
another, and his voice was heard and rec
ognized.
Even after his friends were within fifty
feet of him he had to shout to guide them,
as his head was below the grass 1t is
needless to say that they instantly set
about the work of rescuing him. Logs
and brush were piled into the swamp until
they could reach him. Finding that they
could not pull him out by the arms, the
mire was scooped away from his body,
and he was literally pried out by lever
inserted under his feet.

Hard Times for Farmers.

A farmer in debt always will have hard
times, such as those who own land ana
have comfortable home, free from m
cumbrances, cannot fnlly comprehend.
Mr.. Beecher, who knows the cost of farm
ing. perhaps, better than the profits, says
candidIv :"No blister draws harder than
interest does. Of all industries, none Is
comparable to that ofinterest, which works
ali day and night, in fair weather and foul.
tt has no sound in its footsteps, but travels
fast. 1t gnaws at mans substance with
invisible teeth. 1t binds industry with
it's film as a fly is bound in a spiders
webb. Debt rolls a man over and over,
binding him hand and foot and letting
him hang upon the fatal mesh until the
long-legged interest devours him. There
is but one thing on farm like 1t. ana
that is the Canada thistle, which swarms
new plants every time you break its roots,
whose blossoms are prolific, and every
flower the father of million seeds, every
plant like a platoon of bayonets, and a
field of them like an armed host. The
whole plant is torment and vegetable
curse-and yet a farmer had better make
his bed of Canada thistles than attempt tc
rest at ease upon interest"

LonisrilIa and Knoxville.

Louisville is not disposed to play second
fiddle to ST. Louis in the way of railroad
freights, as can be seen by the following
article taken from the Commercial of the
Sth inst. ...-.
The Nashville and Chattanooga Rail-
road recently purchased the Nashville ana
Northwestern Railroad, extending 10
Hickman to point opposite which city
branch of the Iron Mountain Rallroao
is to be built. AS the Nashville and Cnat-
tanooga Railroad is under the control OF
st. Louis interests, this gives that city al
most an airline to Chattanooga. 1t seems
to us that there are several ways for us to get
freights to Chattanooga cheapened Dy
competition, without giving our millions 10
road originally projected in the interest
| of a rival city, and turned over to us wnen
rejected by everybody else. The Nashville
and Chattanooga Road dlscrlmlnaCes
against Louisville freight more because
| Louisville has no other outlet than be-
| cause it is under st. Louis influence. Ii
the Knoxville Branch were completed TO
| Cumberland Gap, and there put in con-
nection with Knoxville, we would nave a
route hardly longer than by Nashville,
and the Nashville & Chattanooga Road
would be more accommodating, and also give
us cheaper transportation. Ii the Nasn-
Vile road and its branch should still hold
up freight on their part of the Inc, com on
netitioH from another source between this
place and Nashville would soon bring
them to terms. With the Elizabethtowr
& Paducah Road brought into Louisville
and that company has means enough! t.
do it of itself-we would have via its lin! IN
and that of the Owensboro', Russellvlll'
& Nashville, and via it and the Henderson
& Nashville lines, but little longer than tn
present route, capable of full competition
with the Nashville Road. with ines
lines and the Knoxville branch we hav
competition to Chattanooga, to Nashvlll
and to Memphis, and keep our millions II
our pockets, too. Isn't that the cheape
WAY?

BeneAts q Tariff.

A writer in the Chicago Journal
speaks a. follows:
have seen this country rise and
fall in prosperity. three times, just in
proportion as the tariff was increased
or reduced. The effect OF a low
tariff is to drain this country of
specie and reduce our LABOR 10 level
with the pauper labor Of Europe.
John Hancock, President oil the
Continental Congi ess, and Washing
ton, refused to wear any foreign
manufacture. l well remember the
first idea l had Of the effect Of tho
tariff. In 1890, my father built u
honse in Jefferson county, York
State. Coarse nails, cost 4 shilling
per pound; shingle nails, lS pence;
mill saws, IS to $40 each. They
were English manufacture. and free
of duty, tor there were none made
in this country then, SO they could
be afforded cheap. In 1924. Henry
Clay's tariff bill passed, putting
duty on the above named ARTICLES
and all hardware. And American
capitalists commenced manufactur-
ing. In 1928, was the high tariff;
and the country was never before So
prosperous. In 1882, we had better
coarse nails at foar cents per pound,
fine nails at six cents, mill saws At
tour dollars, than England ever
made-and all sorts Of cutlery in
proportion, Of American manutac-
tnre. The cause Of the redaced
price OF those articles was the tariff.

The Ku-klux bill, as il passed
Congress, provides tor punishment Of
offences under it by the United
States Courts, by . fine Of not less
than $500 nor more than $1,000, and
by Imprisonment for not less than six
months nor more than six years; any
person injured shall have the right
to maintain m action for damsges
against any person engaged in con-
spiracy to work euch injury. In all
cases where unlawful combinations
and conspiracies exist in any State,
and the State authorities are unable
or tail to give protection to the ci,i-
zens, it u made the duty of the Pres
ident to use the land and naval forces
to suppress isoch combinations snd
conspiracies. He il also authorized
to suspend the writ of kabsss corpus
when in his judgment, the safety of
the Republic shall require it, first
making proclamation to the insur-
gents to disperse. The privilege of
suspension ends, however, with the
close OF Congress. Jurors are re-
quired to take IN oath that they have
not been in completely with snch
conspiracy or combination, or aided
or abetted it in any way. ANY per-
son having knowledge that any
wrong iabeing conspired against any
individual is to be held liable to suci,
individual for damages in a cum not

prevent such wrong. Mr.. Sherman's
amendment, allowing damages to be
assessed upon communities where
outrage is committed, was finally
left out Of the bill.

What are the days but islands,
30 many little islands,
And sleep the SEA Of silence
That flows above them all?
There, when the moon 10 risen,
The pssceful waters glisten;
But yondsr plashiue=-listsn!
Itis the souls that fall.
The little boats are skimming,
The wind-lsi boats are skimming,
Each ia its silver rimuing.
Apart from feet and shore.
. There not an oar is dipping
With just cables slipping
Glides out the phantom shipping
That wanders evsrmors.
Every days an island,
A green or barren island,
A lowlsud or hishlasd,
That looks upon the Sea.
There fruitful groves are crewning;
There barren G ifFs are frowning,
And ROCKY chAnusls drow ming
The little boats thAt dee.
How many are the islands,
The tesmisg. talking islands,
That 10 the sea Of silence
The rowing vessels find
Their number no msa kaowsth;
Their way the currens showsth;
The tide returnless foweth
Az saeh 10 left bshind
The sailors long to tarry-
For rest they loog taNy-
When n some isle Of fairy
They touch and 20 ashore.
With songs Of wistful pleading
They follsw fste unhseding,
And with the tides receding
Are drifting - before.
But sometime. in the sailing.
The blind and endless sailing.
They pass beyond the hailing
or land upon the lee,
The loslands and the highlands,
And all beyond the islands,
Behold the sea Of silence
Bsheld the great white sea.
