Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-06-18

IT has just been ascertained, from
certain correspondence of Mason, Sill
dell, and other representatives of the
Confederate archives purchased by the
Government some two years ago, that
the British Government proper was abb
solutely opposed to any countensnce or
recognition of the movement to dissolve
the Union that Mason tried in vain for
over year to get an audience with the
then Premier CT England for the pur-
pose of presenting his case and demand
ing recognition of belligerent rights,
and that ne left London In disgust and
repaired to Paris, where, as is known,
himself and Slidell met with more en-
enlargement, finding in the late EN-
peror Napoleon q warm sympathizer.
These papers and documents are likely
to prove of very great value in making
up a faithful history of the rebellion.

determination of Rats.

Hon. NJ. l.. Dunlap, in the Chicago
Tribune says: The common Norway
rat will not trouble corn-cribs that are
set well up from the ground and kept
clear of underlying rubbish, for he bur-
rows in the ground and never makes
his nest in the corn. Or if a colony
should locate near it, a few minutes
work with spade will dispose of them !;
or, by watching the burrows and shoot
ing few of them, they will leave the
premises.
The rat is troublesome customer to
the shiftless farmer, for he. delights to
hide and burrow under his old rubbish
heaps and badly-constructed stable
floors but he avoids all places where
he is exposed to the spade or the shot
gun. Any one can have rats if he wish
es, for pile of old boards, barrels, or
a heap of stone, will invite them to you.
L once thought a good ratter necessary
III order to be rid of them but expe-
rience proved that to be folly. A good
clean, sharp spade, and clean premises
are worth more than dozen rat-ter-
riers in the country. / have seen the
times when 1 would not part with good
ratter for fifty dollars, for l supposed
them to be the charm that kept the rats
off the farm but, since / have learned
a cheaper method, would not take the
best dog as gift, much preferring to
give the waste of the kitchen to the
chickens, for in that is one of the Sc
crets of a supply of eggs.
Rats infest corn in the shock, for they
make their burrows under the shocks.
A rail-crib is also a goo1place for them,
as they are safe from both dogs and
spades. They used to annoy me about
the stable but made the floors of solid
clay, well rammed down, upon which
the plank was laid, and no rat gets I'M
der this planking. The urine tends to
preserve the plank, and, after eight
years use, they have not been replaced,
and look as though they would last sew
eral years longer. There is not rat
about the stable, nor a rat-dog to worry
them if there was. Then the hog-pen is
up two feet from the ground, which has
spoiled all their hiding places, and we
are rid of them. So much for rats, in
which an ounce of prevention is better
than pound of cure.

THE native wines produced in the
United States are estimated in round
numbers at twenty millions of gallons
California, the largest producer, yields
one-fourth this amount, FIVE millions /:
Ohio about one-sixth, three and one-half
millions T; New York, three millions,
Missouri and Illinois each two and one
half millions and Pennsylvania two
millions. In these six States are pro-
duced all the wines of the country, ex-
ceptipg about one million and one-half
of gallons raised in smaller quantities
in the other States. Wines are produced,
however, in some quantity in nearly
every State and Territory, 10000 gal
Ions year being credited to New Jer-
sey, and 5000 gallons to Delaware. The
annual value of our wine crop is about

Forests i'm Germany.

Few people have any idea of the ex-
tent of forest land in Germany, and i'm
agine that of the Black Forest little is
left except the tradition. On the con-
trary, in Hanover alone there are
900, 900 acres of wood under State man.
agement, while nearly fourth part of
the area of Prussia is in forest, al
though half of that is in private lands.
AS is well known, the forest administra-
ton in particular districts has long
been famous, especially in Thuringia
and the Hartz mountains. In North
Germany generally the responsibilities
are allotted in districts among a care
fully organized body of officers, pre-
sided over by Forest Director. The
appointments are fairly remunerated,
and they are so eagerly sought after
that candidates will remain on proba-
ton for years at their own cost, or
with moderate and precarious pay, in
the hope of securing place in the
corps at last.

DID you ever notice how long it takes
a boys hair to dry, when he has run
away and gone In swimming? 1t ispain-
full to be boy, with mother who is
constantly in fear lest you be brought
home from the riverc a board. The
boy is commanded not to go in SWIM
ming, and he swears he won't, but he
lies like little cuss. He thinks he will
go in and not get his hair wet, and no
one will know it, but just as he gets
ready to come out of the water big
boy ducks him, and then he swears.
and when he crawls in the back window
at 10 o'clock at night, his mother, with
a press-board hid in the folds of her
dress, is the first obstacle he encount-
ers. Does she believe him when he
tells her he has been over to Jimmy
Lynde's practicing with the "first nine %
of a Sunday-school class? No! She
feels of his hair, finds it wet, smells of
it and finds it musty, and finds his
shirt wrong side out. Then she spits
on her hands, and with the press-board
SO works upon his tender sensibilities
that he goes to bed with his hand on his
aching heart, wishing be was half-or-
phan, and he dreams he is stern wheel
boat, running backward, and that he
has collided with barge loaded with
benzine, and set it ON fire. The best
way for a boy to get along, at this sea-
son of the year, is to have his hair
shlngled.-GeOrge W. Peck's Sun.

THE GREAT MEDICAL REroRMAr1oS.-


The Satanic Theory that preparations
which infame the brain are, in any
sense of the word, remedies, has been
OUerthrO,Cn, and can neUer be re-estd6-
lshed. The wonderful effects which
have attended the use of DR. WALKERS
VINEGAR BITTERs as an antidote to the
causes of disease and cure for every
comfortable ailment, have demonstrated
the utter fallacy of the doctrine that
alcohol is a tonic as well as a stimulant.
The New and Incompatible Vegetable
Remedy which has superseded the
death raught of rum bitters, is as free
from every intoxicating element as the
dew of Heaven, yet see how it is invig-
Grating the nervous, relieving the bill
ious, curing the dyspeptic, purifying
the blood of the scrofulous, strengthen
ing the debilitated, arresting premature
decay, and replacing dependency and
weakness with cbeerfulness and activity.
Truly grand Medical Revolution is in
progress. As

Hail-St0rms.

The great hail-stor1n in ST Louis, on
Thursday, was, IN some respects, re-
markable, and did much damage, but it
has often been exceeded In violence and
destructiveness. In Jackson, La, In
1884, fall of hail not only beat down
houses and trees, but killed numbers of
cattle, although it lasted for only nine
minutes. During a storm in Germany,
described by the Able Maury in paper
read before the Royal Society in 1889,
hailstones fell that weighed eight
pounds and there seems good evidence
that In the storm of July "a, 1882, at
Tussi, single hailstone was found that
weighed fourteen pounds, and that one,
at least, passed through the roof of
house. Keynes grave statement that
hailstone fell in India, during the reign
of Tipoo, that was the size of an ele-
plant, is incredible; but that there
have been many hailstones large enough
to destroy life of either men or animals,
is certain. During the early days of
California, there was a story of a hail.
storm having killed every person in a
little mining camp in the mountains
save one poor fellow, who escaped, much
bruised and hurt, to tell tie tale. Some
meteoroiogists have supposed that ships
have been sunk by the sudden weight of
these frozen missiles, and that catas-
trophies attributed to contact with mount
aims of ice have indeed been caused by
that substance, but coming from a YER
teal rather than a lateral direction.
Fortunately for mankind, hail-storms
are commonly not only limited in dura-
ton, but confined to very moderate
areas. That which visited st. Louis
does not seem to have been heard of
elsewhere. The great French storm of
1888, considered, We believe, the most
severe on record, extended in two paral-
lei lines-one of 500, the other of 600
miles in length; but the mean breadth
of each was only nine miles; and this
Instance is accounted altogether unusual
and phenomenal. Sudden changes of
weather, it would appear, ought, philo-
sophically speaking, to produce these
storms, since they are occasioned by the
sudden freezing of the water held in
suspension In warm current of air on
contact with cold current in higher
region. Still, although our climate is
so changeable, and the thermometer so
swiftly capricious, especially in the
spring-and although hail-storms are in
general more frequent in temperate
than in tropical regions-we seem to
escape with very small proportion of
them. Other regions, where the tenn
perature is much more equable-the
South of France, for instance-are, on
the other hand, much oftener exposed
to these visitations. Our comparative
immunity is perhaps due to the absence
of lofty mountains, which are found to
be strongly conducive to the formation
of hail.-Iater- Ocean,

INSANITY IN IRELAND.-An elabo-
rate paper on the statistics of insanity
in Ireland, lately read by Mr.. w. j.
Corbet, before a society in Dublin,
showed that, during the last thirty
years, with a population diminished by
1904, 437, there has been an increase of
6,245 lunatics. Ten per cent. of the
cases of insanity were attributed to in
temperance. Yet the most prolific
cause of the diffusion of the malady
was, singularly enough ascribed to the
grea. care which the insane receive of
late years. Many of them are cured
by treatment in asylums, and then sent
out to mix with the rest of the popula-
ton, marry, and propagate the hered-
itary faint. This being the chief source
of the mischief, the question was sug-
gested, if, after all, the magnificent
asylums which are built and sustained
at so great cost do not have detri-
mental, rather than beneficial, effect
upon society.

What Sleep Will Cure.

The cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food. Not that
it is more important, but that ii is often
harder to get. The best rest comes from
sound sleep. Of two men or two women,
otherwise equal, the one who sleeps
best will be the most moral, healthful
and efficient. Sleep will do much to
cure irritability of temper, peevishness
and uneasiness. 1t will cure insanity.
1t will build up and make strong weary
body. 1t will do much to cure dyspep
STA. 1t will relieve languor and pros
tration felt by consumptives. 1t will
cure hypochondria. 1t will cure neu-
ralgia. 1t will cure broken spirit. 1t
will cure sorrow. Indeed We might
make longer list of nervous maladies
that it will cure. The cure of sleep
lessness, however, is not so easy, par
ticularly in those who carry grave re-
sponsibilities. The habit of sleeping
well is one which if broken for any
length of time, is not SO easily re-
gained. Often illness treated by power
full drugs, so deranges the nervous sys
TEN that sleep is never sweet thereafter.
Or perhaps long continued watchfuiness
produces the same effect; or hard study /;
or too much exercise of the muscular
system, or whisky drinking, or tobacco
smoking or chewing.
To break up the habit, are required /:
A good clean bed, pleasant occupation,
and sufficient exercise to produce weari-
ness, good pure air and not too warm
a room freedom from too much care
a clear conscience clear stomach
and avoidance of stimulants.

BROKEN PROMISES.

Peter Summit was a tailor. He met
Abby Hanscom on the board of the shop
where he learned his trade, and made
her his wife, For a short time both
husband and wife worked for the cid
house. INT by and by +loIc was pre-
sented an opening for business on their
OWE account, and they embraced the
opportunity. In the not far-distant
town of Springbrook the old village
tailor had died, and the widow offered
the stand for sale. Pe5er went, and
saw, and bought. Abby had saved up a
few hundred dollars FROM the proceeds
of her former labor, and this, with what
Peter was all to raise, vas sufficient to
make the purchase. And 20 Springbrook
they removed, where they not only en-
tered business on their own account, but
where they went to keeping house.
1t was good opening, and favorable
IN every respect. The village was grow
ing and thriving, and Peter was the
only tailor IN town And, furthermore,
he was an excellent workman, and the
quality of his work gave entire sa6isfac-
ton. For a year he prospered to such
an extent that he had paid for the shop,
and had paid full one-half the price for
his little cottage home. And at the end
of this year he was father, and he and
Abby were about as happy as it is pos
sibie for morials 20 be.
And yet there was q cloud In the
horizon. Peter was troubled with a
disease which is far too prevalent in
the business ommunity-PReCRAs
TON.
At first the excitement of the new
place and the new faces had given
healthful circulation to his system, and
had made him prompt and energetic
but, as time wore en-, he grew gradually
neglectful, and the inevitable conse-
quences followed. His wife, now kept
at home by domestic duties, saw some
thing OF his fault, and warned him but
he laughed and patted her cheek, and
babe her not to worry.
One day Mr.. Jones came into the
shop and ordered coat. He selected
the cloth and was measured.
"When can you have it done for me?'
he asked.
"You shall have it any time after next
week.
"Can I have it week from next
Wednesday
eyes"
"Sure?"
Yes, sir.
Peter made the promise, as thousands
of promises are made, without the least
particle of viii In the matter. He said
eyes" because it came easy to say it,
and because it was the word which his
customer wanted him to say but in
making the promise he did not make a
single plan for its keeping. So far as
he was concerned. the keeping of one OF
these promises had come to be thing
of chance. It was fault of neglect
and not of intention In all things that
were of his direct Will, he was scrupu-
lousy honest. he would sooner have
gone hungry than to have given short
measure and he would have bitten his
tongue through and through sooner than
willfully nisrepresent the quality of his
goods. And, more stil1, he could not do
. dishonest piece of work.
Time passed, and on he day appoint
ed Mr.. Jones called for bis coat. 1t was
not done. The customer was disap-
pointed. Peter made his excuses, and
set another day. That other day came,
and the tailor was obliged to excuse
himself again. We need Mt repeat the
