A Specimen "Lie, You Villain"

ONE of the chief cries against the Ad-
is corruption" In every
government, indeed, there is certain
amount of dishonesty; but the cry is that
this particular Administration is peculiar
ly corrupt. Occasionally an illustration
is ventured, but it's success is dishearten-
ing. Thus the Democratic journals lately
announced that huge corruption fund"
bad been sent from Washington-Mr.
Boutwell,, of course, the Secretary of the
Treasury, engineering the corruption-to
carry the election in North Carolina. The
New York Tribune especially published
the tale in conspicuous type to the effect
that cit is stated" and "it is believed"-
. verything except cit is known"-that
this offense had been committed. 1t
was unspeakable, but it was only charac-
teristic of the Administration.
While it was this kind of charge, how
ever, it was not very important. The ''it
in the height of Presidential campaign
is not very impressive But a day or
two afterward a letter from Mr.. James
B. Beck, a Democratic Representative in
Congress from Kentucky, was pub
lished, in which Mr.. Beck made
himself responsible for the assertion
that zone S. T. Carrow," United
States Marshal of North Caroliaa, had
drawn sixty five thousand dollars within
the last sixty days; and Mr.. Beck added,
"Of course this will be used corruptly."
AS soon as this story-printed in the 7Ti-
bune and repeated by lone" James B.
Beck-reached Mr. Carrow he telegraph
ed that it was "false in every particular"
that he had received no Government
funds, Except what were necessary for
the court, and to be used under the ap-
proval of the Judge, and which were SO
used. I have received no funds from
Washington for use in the North Carolina
elections"
Here was statement carefully elaborat-
ed, apparently sustained by responsible
authority, widely published, undoubtedly
believed by the credulous, and yet false in
every particular. And it is because of
stories as wholly fictitious as this that
some honest people believe the Admins
tration to be tester of corruption, and
think of trying the Democratic party by
way of reform.-Haaper's Weekly.

Cattle Killing Trees.

IT is a fact that all careful farmers must
have noticed, that a tree seeming ever so
thrifty and of whatever kind, to which
cattle have access, and under which they
stand, will soon die. In the case of sol
itary shade trees in pastures or standing
by the roadside this is common occur
renee, and the question naturally arises,
Why is it First, rubbing is injurious,
and if persisted in will commonly destroy
them sooner or later; but if the tree be
cased SO their necks will not touch it,
death will ensue just as certainly if they
are allowed to trample around it. But
why should trampling the earth destroy
the tree? The reason is one of wide i'm
portance to the laws of vegetable growth.
The roots of plants need the air Just as
much as do the leaves and the branches.
Their case is similar to that of fishes
though they have water they must have
air, namely, about as much as permeates
the water. If it be all shut off, so that
none which is fresh can get to them, they
will exhaust the supply on hand and then
die for want of more. So the roots of
trees and vegetables want air. When the
earth is in normal or natural condition
1t is full of channels by which the air gets
to them. But if cattle are allowed to
trample down the earth, and the sun aids
the work of baking it at the same time, a
crust like brick is formed that shuts off
the moisture, and the tree soon dwindles
and dies. So tree cannot live if its roots
are covered with thick pavement; they
will struggle for life by creeping to the
surface and hoisting out brick here and
a stone there, or find crevice where their
noses can snuff little fresh air; but if
fought and kept down will finally give it
up. From the above facts think cattle
of no benefit to orchards, and the farmers
who still persist in yarding their stock of
cattle in their orchards must expect the
trees to die off.-Cor. Country Gent.

will amount to $4,793.11. The new posts
and labor required will amount to fifty
cents panel, making 81 900; this added
to the other, makes $5;793.11. With in
terest compounded for another fifteen
years makes 13,SS3.40. The fence will
now again require new posts, presuming
the rails will last another set of posts, at
a cost again of fifty cents panel. making
81 900 to be added to the $13 SS3. 40,
making $14 S33.40. This sum on interest
compound another fifteen years will make
$37 ,666.78. 1t is now forty-ffve
years, and our posts and rails are
both worn out, and the whole of this snug
little sum is gone, and our farm without
fence. Don't be alarmed, as this thing
transpires with all of us who farm over a
hundred acres forty-five years. If we
don't actually put up the fence at this
cost we buy it already put up when buy
ing the farm, and if the farm should be
fenced with the uncouth-looking worm
fence the cost will be near two-thirds of
this sum, and if we continue this system
of farming and fencing, another outlay
of dollar panel, or more, will be re-
quired. Methinks l hear some one say,
"Why, my fencing didn't cost me half
that much" To those all l have to say
] is, count the cost and all the time spent
| in repairs, hauling boards, ETC.

Senatorial Secrets.

MANY Senators, sensible of the needs
of the times, are rather glad than other
wise that their secrets do get out. In
fact, by sort of passive policy, they
oftentimes greatly assist and immensely
benefit the country in the procurement of
essential news. A year or two ago, a
momentous question was before the
Senate, and the utmost secrecy was OBJ
served regarding it. Correspondents
were in distress over it. 1t seemed i'm
possible to get at the facts, until at length
one more determined than the rest called
at the residence of well known Senator,
and, stating the exigencies of the case,
begged the favor of the honorable gentle
mans assistance 1t was in the Senator IS
library, and no third party was present.
every we'll, SIR" said Mr. - ;"I see
you are anxious to get at the document
Do you see that safe in the corner?"
The correspondent saw it.
"Well, sir" proceeded the Senator,
with dignity, ''that safe this morning con-
tanned it.
"And the key?"
"There is bunch of keys, sir, on that
table, u pointing to an oval marble. 81
am going out to see Senator B. ]
may not return in an hour"
And the honorable gentleman went out
When he returned, the correspondent
was playing with the bunch of keys on
the table.
All back again?" he said, rising. 81
was just thinking of going, Senator.
will bid you good-evening.
"Good evening, sir"
The document was in the safe just as
it had been left by Senator - in the
morning, and very excellent copy of il
was telegraphed to New York that very
night.-Appleton's Journal.

The Candidates COntrasted.

THE Boston Globe, an independent jour
nal, regarding the avowed principles of
the two parties as almost identical, pro-
ceeds to speak of the two men nominated
in the following terms
"For the mass of the people, then, the
controversy resolves itself into choice
of men. We have before US Grant, with
his sturdy, straightforward bluntness
and honesty of purpose. He was put for
ward four years ago as the representative
of the great principles vindicated in the
results of the war principles not yet full
ly carried out and elaborated in the legis-
lation of the country. He has been
faithful to those principles, and the af-
fairs of the country have prospered under
his Administration. We have also Gree.
ley, who, like Grant, is man of the peo-
pie, and, like him, has made his way to
distinction by his own energy. An eager
politician, but credulous and confiding,
he has put himself in the hands of bad
men who covet power at any sacrifice of
principle, and he would be no safe man
for the people to intrust with the Presi-
dency. Old party divisions being oblit-
Grated, and both candidates making the
same professions, the simple question is ::
With which man do the voters think the
country will be safest for four years to
come :? With one who has been tried and
has good prestige, or with one who has
not been tried, but who has bad pres
tige ?"

A Visit to the Howling Dervishes at
Smyrna.

SUNDAY comes three times week in
Smyrna. The Turkish day of worship is
on Friday, the day of Mohammed's
Hegira; Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath,
and Sunday is supposed to be observed
by the Franks" or English, Roman and
Greek churches. On Friday 'Isaac"
came down in the morning to say that
we could see and hear the bowling der
wishes if we would like. So we started at
about ten O'Clock, and followed him
through the labyrinthinal streets up into
Turktown, and stopped at length before
small, unpretending edifice. In front and
between it and the street was a garden of
tropical and native plants and trees low
palms and bright flowers purple olives
and golden pomegranites shining in the
rich, golden foliage. We entered through
an ample gateway and crossed a mosaic
pavement of little black and white stones,
to paved court of the same, which sur
rounded the building on three sides. On
one side was another, smaller building,
open on the side facing the larger one,
into which those who took part in the
ceremonies retired from time to time. We
were not allowed to enter the building,
but might leok in through the doors or
windows. Around the sides of the larger
hall or room, were old men with long white
boards and flowing robes young men
with rich turbans and sashes of crimson
and cloth of gold; little, bright-eyed boys

Greeley's MOnstrOus Faculty for Sur
render.

OF the man whose abject fear in times
of trial and danger, crisis after crisis in
our history has exposed to the jeers of the
whole country, the Boston Ad0ertsser thus
speaks:
'Mr. Greeley has a monstrous faculty
for surrender. For giving up a great
cause at a critically wrong time, his gen.
ius is superhuman. After years of vigor-
Gus controversy against slavery, the South
rebelled. What does our leader of men
at this practical crisis? He surrenders
forthwith. He Immediately does what he
can to allow the rebel States to destroy
the Union and build up their slaveholding
commonwealth in peace. He knew well
that such an embodied infamy as slavery
was wrong and hateful, and had just
enough resolution to last him up to the
moment when resolution was most need
ed. After years of fighting General Lee
penetrated into Pennsylvania. What does
our proposed Commander in Chief then?
Why, he surrenders again Luckily he
was not in command of the army in the
field. But he surrendered his own post
which was all that could be expected of
him-by distinctly avowing that if things
went on in this way we had better make
as good a peace as possible under the Gil
cumstances."

THE New WORLDS GRAND REMEDY

THE NEW WORLDS GRAND REMEDY
The Old World has played its partin veg
etable medication. But the botany of the
New World is, as yet, imperfectly ex
p1ored. One new and most important
revelation from that land of wonders
California-has astonished the scientific,
and accomplished such cures of diseases
of the stomach and bowels, bilious COM
plants, malarious fevers, nervous affec-
tions, and all diseases proceeding from a
never before been witnessed.
Before WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs all the alcoholic and mineral
medicines are rapidly falling into disuse.
They cannot resist the overpowering evil
dence brought forward every day, of the
immense superiority of this medicine.
Not drop of any variety of distilled or
fermented liquor or mineral poison en-
tiers into its composition. 1t is a
gentle aperient, tonic, derived from
entirely new vegetable sources, an un-
rivaled stomachic, admirable in all
pulmonary diseases and, in fact, as near
to universal remedy as botanical discov-
cry and scientific skill can hope to attain.
DR.. Walker considers it a cure for all dis
eases not organic, and really the great
variety of diseases in which it is success
full seems to warrant the opinion. Every
family needs such remedy. 1t saves
pain, anxiety and doctors bills. We
know what trouble it is to keep the bow
els of children in order, and any remedy
that will strengthen and regulate their
weak and variable digestion must be a
domestic blessing.

with turban and fez robes, like their older
and sterner-looking companions. Many
wear green turban, signifying that the
wearer has made pilgrimage to Mecca.
All were seated in the Turkish manner;
leaving large open space IN the center.
Presently one, in long, howing white
robe, stood in the center of the room. and
commenced the chant in low dismal
tone. Then others arose, and forming
circle around him, took up the chant
from time to time. Each one as he join
ed the circle, put his right arm around
one neighbours neck, and his left around
the others waist, the little boys joining
in the circle with as much earnestness as
any of the rest. All the time the low
cultural chant centinues-Allah Heui
Allah Heu! as though the first word was
pronounced with an inspiration and the
latter with an expiration of the breath.
With the first word, each one makes a
backward step, and with the second,
step forward and at the same time in
direction around the ring. After little
time one or two others enter the circle
and the bowling begins, at first in a low
wall, which is gradually intensified into
perfect shrek; then it becomes more quiet;
again it rises into fiercer howl, wild and
abandoned; and dies away at length into
a plaintive wall; again and again rises
that single cry, as of soul in deepest
agony, while throughout the whole is
heard the low, harsh monotone-Allah
Heu! Allah Heu! like the subdued NUT
terings of some wild beast in pain. In
deed it is almost impossible not to con-
meet the idea of pain with the whole cere-
mony. The almost shuddering motion
with which the circle of worshippers
moved around; the wild, lonely cry of
mental anguish, and the low moan of ami
NAL suffering, fitly expressed the
words they uttered, as the guide told
us when we asked what they said: "They
pray to God; they say God have mercy!
God have pity!" and he cautioned us as
we went away, against repeating the
words within hearing of any Turk, as it
would give great offense and might be at
tended with unpleasant results.-C0r.

Figuring on Fencing.

AT Farmers Club of Chester County,
Pa, member figured on fencing of
farm as follows:
To enclose a farm of one hundred acres
in square form and divide it into nine
equal enclosures, it will take about !, 800
panels of posts and rail fence, including
wards, orchards, etc But as our farms
average over hundred acres, are irregu,
lar shape, it will require 1000 panels of
fence, and all well know that good post
fence will cost one dollar a panel, which
will make cost of S2, 900 to begin with.
This, with interest at six per cent, with
compound interest for fifteen years (at
which time new posts will be required)
