A correspondent of the American
Agriculturist thus tells how they
display their wealth:
'.Indeed, in some Of the richer
parts Of Friesiand and Groningen,
the evidence of prosperity takes a
very absurd form. It is not un-
usual to find two fine pianos in the
house, though there is no pretense
of allowing the daughters to learn
to play them they are needed IN
the daryl; and it is said that some
of the rich COLA growers have silver
tea kettles and gold table service
using them in the rude mode OF
life to which they have been bred
and which they would scorn tc
change for anything more refined
They love to surround themselves
with the evidences of wealth, but
thew seem carless of the real adj
vantages that it is the Legitimate
office of wealth to secure. Indeed
the Dutch farmer, in his barbara
way, has some of the peculiaritie:
of some of the farmers of Other
places which shall be nameless
He fancies himself to be person
ally more admirable than he would
if he knew more of the outside
world; and he attaches undue i'm
portance to the simple possession
of much money.

The Foolish Friends.

The origin of the saying, "It takes
two to make quarrer'( ESQ obvious
and commonplace a suggestion ever
had any origin is accounted for as
follows:
In the depths of a forest there
lived two foxes who never had a
word with each other. One of them
said one day, in the politest fox Ian
guage, ''let's quarrel"
every well said the other, ''as
you please, my dear friend; but how
shall we set about ite''
80, it cannot be difficult said
fox number one: 'two-legged PEG
pie fall out; Why should not we?
So they tried all sorts of ways
but it could not be done, because
each would give way. At last mum
Der one fetched two stones.
"There!'' said he, you say they're
yours, and I'll say they're mine
and we will quarrel, and fight and
scratch. Now I'll begin. Those
stones are mine.
Every WE'LL answered the other
gently, "you are welcome to them.
'.But we shall never quarrel al
this rate!' cried the other, jumping
up and licking himself.
'You old simpleton, don't YOU
know that it takes two to mske 1
quarrel any day?'
So they gave it up as bad job
and never tried to play at this sill.
game again. I often think of thi'
when 1 feel more inclined to b.
sulky than sweet.

There are two sides to every ques-
tons, and however much the cruel
and indiscriminate murders and rob-
hcries perpetrated by the Indians of
the plains are to be deplored and pun
ished, they are Eot without the shad-
ow Of justification. There are at least
some extenuating circumstances. Mr..
Maginnis. the Congressional delegate
from Montana, tells some startling
stories about the doings Of Indian
agents He says:
The agents will take barrel of SUI
gar to the Indians, and get receipt
fer ten barrels; just SO they will take
one sack Of flower and get a receipt
for fifty. They will take 800 head Of
cattle. march them four times through
the corral, get receipt for l 200, give
"a part. of them to the Indians, sell a
part 10 white man, and steal as
many back as possible.

Henry Walters, who has lived in
New Albany, Ind, for the past thir-
ty years, yesterday threatened to
kill his wife if she did not go out
of the house. She went out on the
porch, and looking through the
window saw him take a razor and
cut his throat from ear to ear. He
died in fifteen minutes, the room
being deluged with his blood. He
took drink of whisky before com
hitting the deed.
