A new agricultural idea has dawn

A new agriculturalid idea has dawn
ed in regard to oxen. 1t has been
discovered in this age Of railways that
oxen are too slow, and that they can
be taught to 60 fast. I'm India, the
oldest country in the world, oxen take
the place of horses. and they make
as good time Therefore, why not
train them to travel fast in our own
beloved land? The way to do this is
to put on the whip, hurry them up,
and make them go. When an OK gets
into corn field and the dogs after
him he can gallop almost as fast a. a
deer; and when running away on his
own account he shuffles as lively as q
dog. But it is necessary to abandon
the yoke, which is clumsy at best, and
put on harness, as is done in North
Carolina; and. besides, the rattling of
the yoke and the jingling of the draw
chain would not sound we'll as one
drives up to church on Sunday morn
ing at a round trot. Further to guide
them With precision while going at a
fast gait to town, whoa, haw and gee''
must be dropped and bits be used;
then one can make his buggy wheel
Craze another buggy wheel. and NO
harm will be done. Next year agri-
cultural societies should offer premi-
ums for fast oxen, and there could be
no greater attraction than OK races,
for as the exhibition will be purely
agricultural, no immortality can attach.
Breeding oxen for speed a few years,
we would be likely to have q different
race Of cows. By all means.

The consumption of opium is large
ly on the increase in the United States,
which may account in some measure
for the great advance in its produc-
ton Asia Minor. In former years
the crop averaged annually from 1900
to 1900 baskets or cases, each contain.
ing l5O pounds. 1t now averages from
1900 to 6,OOO baskets. Out of this
quantity the United States takes above
1900 cases. England used to consume
large quantities; 80 also did the Dutch
East Indian Company. The consump-
ton generally has increased in the
Islands of Java, Batavia, Sumarta, and
in North and South America. In
England Turkey opium is preferred to
that Of India, as it contains a much
higher percentage of morphine. The
price of opium fifteen years ago aver-
aged IS shillings per pound. 1t now
realizes FL.

A Pennsylvania item is enjoying
just now the currency that sometimes
follows worth, and is of nature that
should rescue it from solitary appli-
cation. The statement is that some
seeker after truth asked the presi-
dent of the Cambria Iron Works,
where seven thousand men are en-
ployed m: king iron and rails, the Sc
cret OF such Il great development of
business, and was answered.: I'VE
have no secret. We always try to
beat our last batch of rails"
The Cambria Iron Company have
always tried to improve the quality of
their goods, and depend upon con-
slant improvement for profit. Their
eminent success is known, and has
contributed much to the pro6t-much
to the security Of American railways.
But great as the contribution is, and
essential as it is to profit and security
its worth is very incOmpletely recog
nized by many of those who have
potent voice in assisting or defeating
the attempt. British rails are made
'for expectation" without this effort
with a directly contrary study and
an effort to see at how low a price ALI
utterly untrustworthy and unsafe rail
can be furnished. The West refuse
imlerfectly fused and scant of weight
is turned out by any kind of labor;
shipped, sold. and placed in competi-
tion with the Cambria, that represents
the best material, workmanship,
knowledge, and effect. And then
statistical gentlemen at New York
leisurelJ compare the price OF Ameri-
can and British rails; and quoting the
market, inform unsuspicious inno-
cence that if the knavery of American
ironmasters and Pennsylvania greed
could be overcome, and the tariff
could be amended so as to admit rails
duty free, railroads might be built
through every cabbage field, aud loco
motives 60 snorting down every lane.
The assertion is notoriously false to
the knowledge of all who have ever
examined the varying scale of prices;
the same worthless English rail al
ways coming. but coming with quad
ruple price, when mills like the Cam
bria are closed."-Philadelphia North

The Rev. T. K. Beecher was in
Hornesville, N. Y. one day last week
and stopped at the principal hot Il,
where nothing struck him so much az
the peculiar dialect spoken by the
pretty waiter girls. Said one of theu
to the reverend gentleman: "Befstek.
hammerlamchols?" Not long after
she renewed the conversation by re-
marking: "Teerecofy?' and as she de-
parted calculated, "Dwishumfridegs?'
Mr.. Beecher preserved the sounds and
wants to know what it all meant. His
varied linguistic attainments are un-
equal to solving the mystery.

who works ior Mr.. j. Il. Julian, at
Irvington, last night took into his
head to give severa! of his colored
friends ride, taking Mr.. Julian's fine
horses and carriage as conveyance.
A little after midnight, when driving
up North Illinois street at q furious
rate, his horses took fright and made
. lively run for few squares. When
in front of Mr.. McKernan's g residence,
on Circle street, the carriage was
overturned and three men and two
women dumped out upon the ground.

Some years since, a party of survey
ors had just finished their days work
in the northwestern part of Illinois,
when a viulent snow storm came on.
They started for their camp, which
was in forest Of about eighty acres
in large prairie, nearly twenty miles
from any other trees. The wind was
blowing very hard; and the snow drift
ing so as to nearly blind them.
When they thought they had nearly
reached their camp, they all at once
came upon the footsteps in the snow.
These they looked at with care, and
found, to their .iismay, that they were
their own tracks. Il was now plain
that they we're lost upon the great
prairie. and if they had to PASS the
night there, in the cold and snow, the
chance was that not one of them would
be alive in the morning. While they
were shivering with fear and cold, the
chief caught sight of one of their
horses,a grey pony known as Old
Jack.
Then the chief said: IF any one can
show US our way to camp, out of this
binding snow, Old Jack can do it. I
will take his bride off and let him
loose, and We can follow him.
think he will show us our way back
to camp.
The horse, as soon as he found him
self free. threw his head and tail in
the air. as if proud of the trust that
had been put upon him. Then be
snuffed the breeze, and gave a loud
snort, which seemed to ray, Come on,
boys! Follow me and Iii lead you
ott of this scrape." He then turned
in new direction, aud trotted along
but not so fast that the men could moi
follow him. They had not gone more
than mile when they saw the cheer
full blaze Of their camp fires, and they
gave loud huzza at sight, and fol

THE CONFESSION,

While he laid upon the ground in
extreme pain, he asked for drink.
and said he would like to see spirit
ual adviser. None was at hand, how
ever, and he being told that he could
not see one volunteered to make .
statement as to who he and his COM
panion were. The dying man was in
formed that his partner in crime
had died, when he said his name was
William Mosher, and that his own
name was Joseph Douglas. He ex-
pressed sorrow when informed that
Mosher had died, and remarked,
That's pity, for he could tell where
little Charlie Ross is," or words to
that effect. He wanted those around
to send to Superintendent Walling
that he might know his trouble, and
added:
Il have brother and sister whom
lave not seen for twelve years.
have forty dollars in my pocket, which
l wish used to give me decent burial.
Mosher and l abducted the boy Char
lie Ross from Germantown. Superin.
tendent Walling would have given a
great deal to have got us. If Mosher
were alive he could tell where the boy
is now. Mosher has wife and chill.

PHILADELPHIA,D Dec. IA.
The news ofthe discovery of the ab.
ductors of Charlie Ross caused ths
most intense excitement in the city
and every report was seized upon BY
the public with ayidity.
Although Clark's confession was a
FIRST doubted, it will be Of great luse
! and probably eventually effect the re
covery Of the child. There is ever!
reason to belle that this last testimo
ny in the complicated case is not onl.
valuable but affords definite clue t,
the kidnappers. The reports from
New York and the identity of the par
ties concerned in the kidnapping hav,
been confirmed by the investigation
of one one of the Press. We are ex
clusively in possession Of information
connected with this case, which, 70
fear Of defeating the ends of justice
we refrain from publishing. Their
can be no doubt but that the righ
trail has been struck.
