A Shrewd Father.

About year ago, if remember rightly,
a story went the rounds which credited
that ingenious gentleman, the Western man
with having successfully carried out one of
the most original of plans for getting his
daughters comfortably settled in life, with
out any cost whatever to himself. lie had
large and expensive family. Three out
of four of the daughters were manageable.
They were very pretty girls, and had many
admirers The father permitted them to
receive attentions from the most eligible
young men, and to all outward appearances
seemed perfectly content to part with his
treasures until asked to do so. Each de-
mand for consent was the signal for an out
burst of feeling that ended in the sudden
exit of the applicant. The lovers, however,
were not to be prevented from attaining
happiness by what they believed to be the
whim of selfish father. They eloped,
were married and forgiven The real state
of the case was, the father could not afford
to buy three suitable outfits, and pay the
expenses of three feasts. Not seeing any
prospect in the immediate future of being
better able to do so, after ransacking his
brain to find way out of the difficulty, he
at last concluded to frown on the young
people, and take the chances of what might
follow. The elopements didn't cost him
cent; the expense of outfits and weddings
was saved and his reputation for liberality
did not suffer in the least, and his neigh
bors continued in ignorance of the actual
condition of his exchequer.

A New Business.

Lately trade has been developed among
some Rochester shippers about which but
little is known. 1t is the trade in dried
potatoes. Potatoes are sliced up and
dried in much the same manner as dried
apples. One finn in that city has an order
on hand now for $4,000 pounds of these
dried potatoes, as well as for 1000 bushels
of onions, which are dried in much the
same manner. They are intended for the
navy. A bushel of potatoes dries away to
about ten pounds. When ready they are
put into large tin cans, holding about forty
pounds each, and sealed up the same as
oysters.

The LIQUOR Crusade.

An account from Dayton, Ohio, dated the
9th inst, says "The second day of the
women's assault on king alcohol is more
exciting than the first.
Four detachments marched to the saloons
visited on the first day. They were ex-
cluded from most of the places and were
received at the doors by the saloonists with
cold courtesy. The saloon keepers we're
especially uneasy under decision of Judge
Smith, which declares that violators of law
cannot come into court for redress. The
women prayed and sang, surrounded by
large crowd, all day long, at Haddick's
beer saloon. In the afternoon over one
thousand curious men and noisy boys en-
compassed them, when the women ceased
praying and began singing. They were
cheered and jeered, and the multitude
pushed into the bar room for beer.
At Haddick's a mock prayer meeting
was going on in the saloon nearly opposite
which was continued, when women went
over to that place when drivers of beer
wagons pushed through the female detach-
ment shouldering kegs of beer which was
drank up as fast as it could be delivered.
Haddick, Thobe, Clemsnes, Fisher and
Becker Bros, seemed to be the special OBJ
ject of attention, and some rude scenes
were reported at these places. Not one of
the saloonists were visited to-day but ex-
hibited signs of surrender
Within three days five bars have been
closed in Difference to public sentiment,
without the women's intervention. There
were many intoxicated men on the streets
and the day closed with drunken fight,
in which policeman was badly pounded.
-Four or five men were arrested. The ex-
element is increasing hourly and appre-
tensions of disagreeable results are felt.
In Lincoln, Neb., the ladies invaded Ma
jor Klentsch's saloon about the time he
usually closed for the night. He told them
to go out, but they wouldn't CO. So he
turned off the gas and locked them in.
The prisoners sang and prayed in the dark,
until friends came and rescued them by
breaking in the door. A lawsuit for tres
pass has been begun by hlentsch. In
Madison saloon keeper paid fifteen dol
lars to father to escape prosecution for
selling rum to his son, a minor; but, upon
learning that the legal penalty is only five
dollars, he sues to recover the excess. In
California bill is in the Legisla ture pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor within one mile of
any school. The dealers claim that if it
becomes law the temperance folks will
start shrewdly located apologies for schools
so that virtual prohibition will be the re-
suit. In a late liquor raid in Rutland, the
truckman hired to cart off the seized goods
made private bargain with the owner,
and took about half OF them back to the
store after the trouble was over. Boston
enemies of temperance say that until re-
