Is Farming Respectable

1t is not the business, but the men
engaged in it that makes 1t rcspec-
table or otherwise. We are apt to
attribute responsibility to wealth,
but such is not the verdict of the
world. There is sort of adora-
ton for the wealthy, but the better
and more sober judgment univer.
sally yields responsibility only to
the intelligent and virtuous. In
those communities where the far
mers are intelligent, and enterpris-
ing, and by the neatness of their
persons and property, and the adorn-
ment of their houses and grounds,
show that they love and appreciate
the calling, they are respectable.
The cultivated in mind and taste
seek the society of such persons and
envy their prosperity. The sons
and daughters ever turn with pride
to the farm of their youth, and glad.
ly return from the busy scenes of
life to spend their most Joyous holi-
days. 1t is the pride Of the sue
cessful politician, or retired million
are, that he was reared on farm,
where his bones were hardened and
the honest lessons of life were in.
stilled into his very being. Farm
ing is respectable and honorable,
and the world SO acknowledges it.
But there is large moiety of
those on farms who are ignorant
and groveling, and would be in any
calling or profession. Success new
err attends their efforts or labors,
and never should. Providence has
made no mistake in this matter. He
that early stores his mind with use
full knowledge, who uses his brains
tor the purpose intended, and who
goes into the great world of enter
prise with the determination to win
by the application of the necessary
intelligent industry, is sure to reap
both wealth and responsibility. 1t
is not the business OF farming that
creates the standard, but the man.
Farming is respectable. There is
enough about it to bring into active
use all the talent and energies of
the best intellect. The world,
whether of wealth or fashion, does
not frown upon the farmer, but only
upon the ignorant, the d.based
clown, and all who do not respect
themselves.-State Register.

CANNING GRAPES. 1T is not known

CANNING GRAPEs.-It is not known
to every one that the grape can be
put up like other fruits for winter
use. But try it and see. There is
no fruit easier to manage this way,
or that retains its natural flavor and
excellence better. Make a syrup of
a quarter of pound of sugar for
one pound Of fruit; put the grapes
whole into the scalding syrup
and skim out soon, and let them
partly cool, and then can them as
you would any other fruit. If You
wish to have the pulp clear ofseeds
you have only to run it through a
collender. Nothing in the line of
canned fruit makes moro healthy
and palatable pie than the grape
prepared in this way, or with less
trouble.

woman's Inhumanity to Eer sez.

There is much food for reflection in
the following questions and answers:
-"Who hits 4 woman when she's
down." "Whv, another woman"
"Who keeps her down." "Why, an
other woman" That's so. If women
were as severe upon men who trans

dies will pardon us for the comparison
but it is q truthful one even if not
tasteful. We say women are like crows.
One of their number falls wounded by
sin, and she is :tnmedia,ely set upon
and torn to pieces. The doors Of re-.
spectacle associations are closed
against her. The virtuous female
turns from her in loathing and disgust.
Even the common sympathy OF human
nature is denied her. No help. !or the

The Toughest of Cats.

The following is the latest from the
Danbury Views: "There is man on
Franklin street who has been engaged
for the past two months i'll 4 mighty
effort TO kill a cat. In that time that
unfortunate animal has explored the
bottom Of every stream and sheet OF
water within six miles Of Danbury, has
had an uninlen;ional taste o. the several
new varieties OF powder, and has got
so it can tell in the dark, without look
ing around, the difference between 4
hal, brick and 4 whole one. The man
himself hasn't got whole piece OF
clothing in his wardrobe, and has al
most lost the use Of one leg from rheu-
matism contracted while drowning the
cat, and has more scratches on him
than the survivor OF four wives. His
aged father says he will take 4 chair
out in the yard on pleasant afternoon
and will sit there for two hours at
time and look at that. cat and swear.

Mountain Jusi3.oe.

Balls Gulch, mining pin Park
county, about fifteen miles south OF
Fairplay, is where Judge Lynch put
in his last appearance. A spirit OF
lawlcssness has been manifested
among the denizens Of this. camp for
some time past, and since the advent,
about two weeks since, Of a couple OF
men, named respectively Henry Hall
and Michael Boyce, or Big Mike" as
he was called, and the opening of a
whisky mill, disorder seems to have
reigncd supreme.
On Wednesday last gang Of ruff
fans, filed up with their own dead
poison, and fully armed, marched
down the gulch to the camp, which is
over a mile distant from the saloon.
Arriving there they commenced gen
cral fusiladc with their revolvcrs, not
injuring anybody, however, apd also
began to abuse and insult everybody
who went near them. 1t was useless
10 demonstrate with them, as they
woulc say: You'd better get your
shootqg irons if you want anything to
do with u.s."
After trying in almost every way to
get up a fight, they at last drew weapons
and threatened to shoot Mr.. Hig-
ginson. This was the last feather on
the camel'S back" with the forbcar-
ance ofthe miners, and in 4 short time
eight men, armed with rifles, sur
rounded the desperadoes. Hall and
Doyce drew their revolvers instantly,
but were prevented from shooting.
The entire gang were arrested and
placed in storehouse under guard,
and taken to Fairplay for trial. By
this time the men had become sober,
and wrIc asked if they would leave
the gulch peaceahly, but both Hall
and Boycc refused, saying that they
would have Satisfaction" before they
left, and also threatened to shoot Col.
Hall, shoot the men who had disarmed
them and fire the buildings in the gulch
when rels ascd. Hall said he had been
a bushwhacker and knew what he was
talking about, and both showed them
selves to be most desperate villains.
Hall is said to have killed three men.
while Boyce is fully as bad as his COM
panion.
During the night a vigilance ccm-
mitteec was organized, consultation
held, and in the morning the ghastly
forms Of Hall and Boyce hung lifeless
from tie limb Of tree, about half 4
mile below the camp.
Several desperate characters who
lately went into the gulch were mis-
sing the next day, and the camp is now
quiet end orderly, ard probably will
be for some time.-DcHTcr Tribune,

A. Sorry Scene.

The Boston Traveller calls atten-
ton to the appearance OF we'll
dressed man at the Third Police Sta
ton, on Tuesday afternoon, in scan
dalous state of intoxication. He was
supported by two officers, and in a
maudIing way expressed dissatlsfac-
ton with everybody. A moments
conversation suf1iced to make his con-
dition apparent.
Captain Ford directed that he be
locked up in cell, which direction,
was of course, carried out, ard the
poor unfortunate slumbered quietly.
At half past seven o'clock. or therea7
bouts, neatly dressed and modest
girl Of thirteen made her appearance
at the office leading a little child by
the hand. Both were crying.
"What do you want?" asked the
Lieutenant.
"We want our father (giving); don't
send him away; please don't send him
away! He is our father, and mother
is dying"
"Dying" repeated the Lieutenant;
dying of what?"
"Consumption, sir. She has been
i'll for year, and the doctor says she
is dying to night. Please let father
see her before she dies. She IS all we
have got in the world, and she is go.
ing to the other side. We are so un-.
happy.-Father is good to us when he
is good to himself, but he has been un-
happy lately. He loves mother dearly,
and l suppose he drinks liquor be-
cause he cannot bear to have her leave
him"
Send for that man in No. 15," di-.
rected the Lieutenant, and the prisoner
was brought into the office. "Mr. otfi-
GER" he continued, "go with these chill
drcn and take this man with you.
See If their story is correct.
A few moments elapsed, and the Of
ficer returned alone. The mother and
the wife was dead, PROSTATE by her
side, ne said, lay the recumbent body
of her ill-starred husband, and the lit
tie girls wept silently in the corner OF
the room. The spectacle was one OF
sadness and sorrow, and even the ofli-
GER, accustomed as he is 10 scenes OF
such a character, was compelled to
wipe the tears from his eyes as he told
the story. Proper measurers were
taken for the relief Of the family, and
the occurrence was placed briefly on
record.
