admirable condition for root crops in
the spring. Any that is too raw for
this purpose can he used for corn, or
kept over for wheat, or top-dressing
grass, next fall.
SWAMP MUCK.-Our swamps never
were so dry as at the present time,
and we cannot have a more favorable
opportunity for getting out muck.
1t may be drawn directly to the field
and spread on grass land or draw it
to the barn-yaid and use it for ab-
sorbing the liquid, or for mixing with
the manure in the heap. There are
thousands of farms where men and
teams could not be more probably
employed than in getting out muck.
Do NOT WASTE THE SrRAw.-Far-
mers often throw large quantities of
straw about the yards durin 3 winter,
for no other purpose except to get
rid of it. Better let it be in the stack,
and use it next summer for littering
the yards where the cows are MIXED
and the pigs run. A much larger
amount OF manure will be made in
this way. Where straw is abundant,
use it fire. ely to litter the stable, cow
house and pig-pens. Clean out all
that is soiled or wet, and put in fresh
litter every day. -
CELLARS should be ventilated at
every opportunity. The vegetables
will keep far better, and it would
prevent much sickness in the family.
We cannot too often call attention to
this matter. Never allow any decay
ing vegetables or fruit to remain in
the cellar. Hang q thermometer in
the cellar and keep the temperature
down to 40 degrees. fit gets above
this, open the door or window until
the temperature gets down to near
the freezing point. Whitewssh the
cellar at least once during the winter.
SHoEING HoRsEs.-Many a good
horse is spoiled by not being rough
shod in winter. 1t is painful sight
to see a horse travelling on an icy
road with slippery shoes on-and

The Chicago Times reads the democra
&c of Milwaukee a lecture for their re-
cont declaration that the Temperance
hcll now pending before the Legislature
of this State must be opposed as a party
measure of the Republicans. A similar
bin has been passed in the Illinois Leg
isature. and the Times claims it as I'M.
qualfedly measure OF that party, as
the Democrats almost unanimously sup
ported it, and voted for it. What is
Democratic in illinois is not Democratic
ia Wisconsin. There is no party prin>
ciple involved in either case. 1t is
nothing more or less than a question OF
policy. In this State they regard anti
temperance as the best policy, especially
to influence the foreign vote, and make
political capital in that direction. A
Temperance bill is pending in the Mn-
nesota Legislature, and the Democratic
membe of the Assemb from Winona,
DAY Whppe, has introduced a remoh-
strance signed 10y 500 persons, against
it's passage This is bid for a portion
OF the foreign votc in that State. The
question OF temperance is not party
question, and should he left to stand on
its own IN erits, outside Of any political
organization

"Peter Dowd, my fathers cousin,
will be your wife. God knows 1 do not
want husband yet for many years to
come; but here am, weak, unprotect-
ed, impecunious, with no road before
me, except the distasteful one of mar
riage. Don't 1 wish were a man"
and Ellen Dowd placed her hand firmly
| in the brawny hand of her future hus-
band and raised her head to receive the
kiss of betrothal.
'I confess that things don't hardly
work to suit me-" said Aunty Harris,
soto poce, rs she began clatter with
pots and kettles, preparatory TO getting
breakfast.
When Ellen sought the sick chamber,
load of conscious guilt covered her
face with confusion. She had never
concealed an act of her life from her
grandmother, and now the secret that
proved upon her heart almost overpOw-
cred her.
''How did you rest, grandfather ?" she
asked, timidly.
Gladly enough, my child. Can you
guess the contents of that mysterious
casket which 1 received last night ?"
and the old man looked eagerly into her
eyes.
81 haven't tried to guess, grandfath-
er."
"See here, darling. Here are dia-
monds. They are worth princes ran
som. All these shall be yours if you
will at once consent to fulfill your en-
gagement with-with-Mr."-
'rYou've said enough, grandfather ]

savagely.
The old man arose with the fury of 6
tiger. Grasping her by the throat, he
began to choke her in his frenzy, anC
she, unable to calculate sound, was il
danger of being strangled.
GRANDMOTHER Darcy screamed fol
help, and Peter Dowd rushed to the
chamber and rescued his affianced wifi
from the hands of the madman.
Another morning dawned, and ElleI
and the hired man had disappeared.
During their few remaining days OF
earth the stricken couple heard of thei
beloved grandchild no more.

ris. "What is bred in the bone vii

From the Iowa City Republican,
Another Case.


Last week we published n statement
of novel suit brought by woman in
Des Moines to recover damages of a
liquor seller for selling intoxicat-
ing drinks to her husband and max
ing him drunken, to the great injury of
herself and family. We publish this
week the law in full under which that
suit was brought. But it seems that Des
Moines women are not alone or the first
in the field A Mrs. Dowd of MARSHALL
town was ahead, she having obtained
her verdict and judgment for fUe hun
drcd dollars. Iowa City wives who
suffer in want because of the drunken
ness of your husbands, do you hear that?
Mrs. Dowds legitimate means of living
were on deposit with the liquor seller.
She has drdlUn for it with the above re-
suit. WHY not you? Why go cold or
hungry or lily clad when the law gives
Won a right to what has been so unjustly
taken from YOU? In Mrs. DOwd's case
the seller did not dare appear, and the
case went against him by default. The
Marshall Republican gives the following
i'm reference TO the case:
Mr.. Henderson, who appeared for the
plaintiff addressed the jury substantially
as follows:
Gentlemen OF the Jury This suit i
brought under the law of 1872, TO recover
damages for selling liquor to PLAINTIFF:
! husband in violation of the law. The
statute provides that she may recover
not only the actual pecuniary damage:
she has sustained, but exemplary dam
ages; that is, such damages as you think
will give her some compensation for the
loss OF companiOnship and the support
of the strong arm of her husband, the
disquiet of the mind and body, and a
the same time punish the man for con
| tributing to these unhappy results.
/ The law can give no adequate com
pensatiOn for the unhappiness produceC
| by these saloon keepers. But thank God
one L0tg does say that the unhappy wifi,
in such cases shall have some pecuniarI
COMPENSATION and satisfaction Tn,
evidence shows you that the plaintiff
has lost the benefit of the years support
But how can we estimate the heart
aches for which no compensation i
given? 1t is too late tonight to detaiI
YOU longer, but trust that your verdic
will be such as shall be an example t
the defendant and those who are engages
in the unholy business.
The Jury were out but short time
and returned a verdict for the plaintiff
and assessed her damages at $500.

Drunken Legislators.

The shame and disgrace of Govern
ment-State and national-are drunken
legislators. 1t is notorious that sober,
temperate men are the exception among
our members of Congress, and also in
many of Off State Legislatures. And
these are the men who make, break and
prevent our laws; who, filling places of
trust, are easily corrupted, and so bring
disgrace on our democratic republican
institutions. Men who can not, will not,
or do not control their own appetites
and propensitieS are permitted to fill
places of trust while they do not control
or regulate themselves How prepOster-
Gus! Is there cause for surprise at the
predictions so often expressed that we
our American institutiOns-are going
to the dogs? Can q drunken man be
trusted to navigate the ship of state
when he would inevitably run on the
rocks or reefs, and strand his ship aud
sink all who were so unfortunate as to
be with him? And vet we do elect and
trust Just such drunkards to be our cap
tains. Why? Are there not enough
clean, honest and intelligent men to
serve us in these respects? Would we
suffer our personal business interests to
be thus jeopardized? Would we employ
for clerks, statesmen, bOok-keepers, or
cashiers habitual or even occasional
drunkards? If we did we should deserve
/ the fate we cOurted or tempted. No.
For our personal confidential servants,
we should take care that they were al
together trustworthy and self-control-
ling. We should require them to be
above suspicion, and on the first drunk
en- spree would throw them out of place,
not to be trusted more, until the evil
dences of reform were unmistakable.
Citizens have been criminally careless.
They have not. attended to the selection
of the best men in the nation for the
most important and responsible offices
in the nation, and hence our present dis
graceful dilemma. But the ship of state
has not yet foundered; she has en-
cOuntered fierce storms, has been in inn
minent peril, on her beam-ends, but by
the temperance, intelligence, and good
management of some of her officers, and
by the grace of God, she has righted
and rode out the storms. Let us not
again put out to sea with unworthy sea-
men. We can have the best as cheaply
as the worst, and in the end they prove
much cheaper; for in the latter case
there will be no plundering, stealing or
robbing, and we shall not live in the
constant fear of shipwreck.
"Weed them Out.n In all COM
munities, in all societies, among all
bodies of men, there will be found moral
delinquents, intellectual imbeciles, and
social lepers. They must be weeded ont
and east aside, lest they choke or con-
taminate the true and pure. Then look
out for the future, to see that only good
men be chosen to represent US, make
laws for us, and attend to our public af-
fairs. We want only trltsty, temperate,
/ capable and jtt0iciOlts servants, and if
we are wise we shall have them. Let
no more drunkards, corruptionists,
public thieves, libertines, or vagabonds
disgrace us or our legislative bodies

FASHIONABLE LIFE.-If there is any
environment which can degrade a hu-
man being or harden a young heart,
it is the atmosphere of merely fashion
able life. You may take the tenderest
and most beautiful and lovely girl, the
one that is kindest at home, and loves
her father and mother most, and put her
in the highest circle of fashionable life,
with plenty of money and full scope to
do as She pleases; let her dress herself as
she will-cover herself with diamonds
and pearls; let the love of admiration
become the ruling passion, and soon all
the tenderness of that young nature pass
es away; her thoughts concentrate upon
herself-what figure she is cutting, who
her admirers are, what conquests she
can make. By-and-by the youthful,
beautiful modesty is gone, and the way
is open for vice, that, in the beginning,
would not have been dreamed of, or if
thought of, put away as utterly impos-
sible

1t is believed by some that the mai
dens who would make the best wives
never marry, but remain free, to bless
the world with their impartial sweet
ness and make it generally habitable.
This is one of the mysteries of PrOvi-
dence, and New England life. It seems q
pity, at first sight, thai those who become
poor wives have the matrimonial chance,
and that they are deprived of the re-
putatiOn of those who would be good
wives were they not set. apart for the
high and perpetual Office of priestess of
society. There is no beauty like that
which was spoiled by an accident, no
accomplishments and graces are so to be
