Beauties OF WashOe Butter.

1t was our good fortune, a day or
two since to hear the following inter-
esting dialogue in one of our princi-
pal "hash houses.n The interlOcutors
were Misunderstanding, side-whisker-
ed, lisping, middle aged men from
California, and burly, rounded, mer-
ry-eyed ComstOcker, who were seat
ed at opposite sides of the same table.
The men were evidently strangers to
each other. The conversation OPEN
ed as follows
Dundreary-D4ah me, this is dis
gustingI Holding up his knife, and
gazing fixedly at its pJint.] This is
eithaW the secOni or third hair-I
think it is the third-that I've found
in this buttahI
C0mstocker-You've not been here
long, 1 judge?
Dundreary-NO, sir; arrived here
yesterday morning.
ComstOcker-I thought so, other
wise you would not have complained
of hair in the butter.
Dundreary-Not complain Of hairs
in the butterI You surprise me, sir.
ELslN coulu do Otherwise
Comstocker-Those hairs, sir, are
just as natural to Washoe butter as
butter is natural product of milk.
They are just as clean as the butter.
Dundreary-Impossible.
Comstocker-NOt at all, sir. All
our butter comes from the great val
leys of our State, where fiourishes
that most nutritious and truly won
derfuI plant, the white sage. On this
our cattle feed and fatten. This white
sage has many virtues. Strange as 1t
may seem to you, sir, from the white
sage is manufactured a most wonder
full and very popular hair restorative.
Dundreary-Ah, yes; have heard
of it-in fact may say that on one
occasion, when 1 thought observed
my hair getting a little thin, | used
some of this preparation.
Comstocker-Well, then, sir, in a
country where all the cows feed on
the white sage, do you think it likely
the butter would be bald-headed?
Dundrary turned red, pushed back
his chair and left without deigning a
reply Virginia City Enterprise.

A smart clerk.

A Whitehall grocery-man marks
the prices Of provisions on the cover
of his barrels and casks. He had .
new clerk the other day who mixed
things. He got the cover of the sugar
barrel, which was labeled 20 cents .
pound" upon the lard barrel and
straightway began to sell lard at nine
cents. The sudden decline in the
price attracted all the people in the
town, and the clerk thought he was
doing q big thing until the proprietor
returned, paid him off and told him
to emigrate to Troy where smart peo-
pie were in demsnd.-1foy Press.

FORT WAYNE, IND, July 10-As
the night express going north on the
Perry's Station, two miles from Rich
mond, Indiana, last night, the engi-
neer noticed that the switch was open,
though the signal lever was in its
proper position. He had barely time,
after whistling down brakes and re-
versing bis lever, to jump from the
engine, rs the train struck the mis-
placed switch and was thrown into
the ditch. Strange to say, no one was
seriously hurt. On examination it
was found that the bolt had been
drawn from the switch lever and the
rails pried apart. It was doubtless the
work of some seOundrel who cOntem-
plated robbing the passengers.

The Grange TOO Exclusive.

Here is a prediction by Hon. NJ. l..
Dunlap, as expressed in the Chicago
Tribune "PeOple will soon learn
that the Grange is too narrow, too
exclusive and too bigoted. to stand
the friction of progress; while thevast
sums of money paid out by its eonfid-
ing members disappear in dissOlving
view, in which the coat tails OF the
officers will present a vivid closing
scene. The farmers who contribute
to its cooperative associations will too
soon find the money squandered by
men lacking mechanical and business
training, and others who lack integri-
ty. 1t is an orange that too
many are endeavoring to draw juice
| from, and who will soon have 1t dry"

1t was just at the close of a summer day.
When the fair young moon in the east was
And falling. as falls the peace of God.
The dew dropped balm ia the wild flower S
cup.
And of such winds touched .he weary
brow
3 ofa woman who leaned on a cottage gate,
And fingered to catch the low, sweet call,
OF late bird singing home TO his mate.
From within she heard the household talk,
As If each to other were true and dear,
And after her, down the lonesome street,
Followed the sound of their mirthful
cheer. -
They Were blest, she knew. in their homely
A sad smile trenbled about her mouth
81 am glad" she said, ''that for some poor
There be fall wells, though the rest have
drought"
She saw the children about the doors,
With fond young lips for mothers TO kiss,
And from every home as she passed along,
She caught some cadence of household
bliss.
Till she came, at last, to her own low roof,
Where she and a ghost dwelt face TO face =
The ghost of her days of youth and joy,
Thesole, sad guest in that lonesome place.
They talked together of all the past,
She and the ghost, in the white moon
light,
TIL the pale guests face like an angels grew,
And Old time glory had made 1t bright.
When the new dawn rose, they both were
gone
On the bed shape like womanis lay
But she, with the ghost of the gay, glad past,
To some land of shadows had wandered
away.
4 land where she found the lost again.
Where youth was waiting ana love was
sweet,
And all the joys she had buried once,
Sprang up like blossoms beneath her feet.

The Rochester Democrat, in an art
ly made respecting President Grants
desire to be candidate for q third
terms, says:
But no party can succeed at the
polls with third term candidate.
Nomination will be equivalent to de-
feat. Such defiance of the popular
thought would itself presaga disaster.
II would be losing game from the
beginning. Ina republic it is impOs-
sible to war against the public will ;
and that will has in no manner been
more distinctly indicated, than in its
conviction deliberately formed and
frequently and unhesitatingly express
ed, that the incumbeney of the Presi.
Dental chair shall be limited to eight
years. You cannot "kick against the
pricks" A party, however strong,
whatever its prestige or the number
of its triumphs, would simply commit
suicide If it attempted, on whatever
urgency of conditions or fallacy OI
reasoning, to reverse the well estab-
lished custom of the nation, by going
into a Presidential canvass with can
didate who had already been twice
elected.
We state our views thus frankly,

We do not yet believe it to be a ser

Fence Planting on the Iowa and Ne

The erection OF hoard fences on 8
prairie farm is an expensive opera
ton. In Nebraska the law wisely re-
moves the necessity for fence build.
ing. by providing for the herdiny oi
live stock; and in Iowa, the needs OF
practical farming life bring about
very much the same result.
But in each case the law aud prac-
tiee are the things OF the day. 1t is
an Instinct in the owner of land to
oenue his possessions by metes and
Iounds, obvious to the eye, which
separate his land from that of his
nelghbor. II fences were not a con-
venience there would be fences there
forei but as fences are a convenience,
the improving prairie farmer sets him.
self to their creation as soon as his
house Is built, and his land broken.
Live fences, OF course, are the desider-
alum; and there are three plants
which are most in favor for the pur-
poSe- The Honey Locust, the Usage
Orange, aud the White Willow. make
good fences. The two former are i'm
permeable to stock; and when the lat.
ter Is we'll established, the same char
acter may be claimed for il. The
White Willow Is also Of hardy aud
rapid growth.
Mr.. G. b. Mendenhall, of Marshall
County, Iowa, has used the White
Willow extensively. On his farm
there about thirteen miles of White
Willow fencing, of from three to sew
en- years growth, about half of which
viii turn cattle, and portion cut hall
cord of Wood to the rOd Mr.. Men,
denhAI has also - grove of White
WIil9ws covering twenty acres, sci
out six years ago, aud which be eOn-
siders to be worth $500 per acre.
As, we doubt not, some of our read
ers are even now considering the
question of moving west t. Iowa or
Nebraska, and, as knowledge is n
light burden TO carry, we give Mr..
Mendenhall's method of planting:
The willow slips are 10 be eight inches
In length, thrifty sprouts of Que or
two years growth. TIE ground for
the hedge-row is to be ploWed as
deeply as possible during August, q
dead furrow being left where it is pro-
posed the fence shall stand. Just
before frost comes the land is to be
turned back, ths dead furrow being
filled iu. AS soon AS the earth Is
open, plant the slips eight inches
apart, covering them with finely
pulveriz-d earth. Cultivate as corn
for two years, keeping the infant
fence entirely clear of weeds. The
following method will ensure a rapid
growth: Mulch well in the fall after
the second year, placing the mulch
ing as close to the plants IS may be,
without touching TIE stems. By
following Mr.. MendenhalTs plan, the
prairie farmer, with White Willow,
will have thrifty fence in the course
OF three or four years; and in six
years enclosures will be perfect.
