Too Much for Him.

Horace Greeley used to affirm that
newspaper men were the most patient
people, as class, on the earth, and he
was not far from right, though there
are times when patience ceases to be q
virtue with the most enduring. Nearly
everybody in the western part of Mich
igan knows Burr, who used to start
newspaper about once a month the
year round, generally bringing them
out in Grand Rapids, but sometimes
making flying trip to other points.
Burr could stand to be .old that he
lied about circulation, was on the fence
as a politician, and that he didn't know
anything about publishing paper |;
and when the men threatened to sue
or thrash him he only smiled sad
smile and wished that mankind
wouldn't get excited During a re-
ligious revival at Grand Rapids, Burr
was converted, and it frequently hap
pened that religious people called at
his Office to talk with him. One day
q minister came in and after talking a
while, he proposed prayer.
He was in the act of kneeling, when
his foot struck one of the outside forms,
which was leaning against leg of the
stone, ready to be lifted up, and over
it went, making a bushel of "pi." Burr
looked at the ruin wrought, thought
of the two weeks overwork, and COM
menced taking off his coat saying !:
"I'm trying to be q christian and set q
good example, but rat my buttons i'll
can't lick you in just two minutes p
The clergyman backed down stairs in
no time, dodging the lyc brush on the
way, and Burr backslid at once.

Indications of gold were discovered
about week ago, and within two DAYS its
presence in sufficient quantities to repay
working has been established beyond n
doubt. How large an area the gold section
covers can not determined without further
exploration; but the geological character
lstics OF the country, the researches of our
prospectors, and all indications point TO
valuable fields. So far we have obtained
surface gold alone. Our miners hope vet

To the Editor of the Tribune;

sacred rule OF justice, that established
character Is full evidence against un.
proved attacks. | had supposed that
charges against such character would
be treated as Islander till fully proved.

OF Christ, Of whom 1 can say that
from their early childhood | never
knew OF an impure word or act by
any one of them, and therefore when
the one, who from early youth had
proved model lover and husband was
accused 10y hapless woman, tortured
into self-accusatiou in temporary in
sanity, supposed established character
was his sure protection, and felt il an
insult to him, his family and his
church that an investigation vas de
manded to prove his innocence, and il
has been with shivering sense of
danger to every delicate and pure
woman that il is so often claimed that
IN this case there must be suspended
Judgement | regard this treatment
OF my brother as.
A DECLARED WAR ON woMANHooD.
1t is practically saying, let any vile
woman or vileT man accuse any lady
OF most disgusting crime, and she
snail be suspended before the public as
gulity until she proves her innocence.

Worth Knowing.

Dr.. Glass, living near Ora by, VIII o
is clearing up a new farm, has been
troubled with a large number of big
oak stumps. He had heard that salt
petre was good for stumps. According
ly, about couple of months ago lie
sprinkled on the top of each stump
about a tablespoonful of pulverized
saltpetre. A few days ago he set fire
to these stumps and says they COM
menced and continued to burn until
every stump was totally consumed,
roots and all, that he was able to plough
without the least difficulty over the
very ground formerly occupied by these
large stumps. He says some of the
stumps burned for four or five DAYS.
Farmers, try the Doctors remedy; he
says it will not fail. The Doctor also
says, that if your cabbage plants are
troubled with little black bugs, you
can save every Oneof them by sprink-
ling them lightly with Cayenne pepper,
Use an ordinary table pepper-box. This
is dead shot,-Gran6y, No., Miner.

When to sell the crop of wheat is.
perhaps, more difficult to decide than
when to thresh. We have known
farmers who for series of years were
obliged to sell their wheat as soon AS
possible after harvest to meet debts.
and again others who were able to hold
for the highest prices, and we were
satisfied, from years of observation.
that those who were compelled to sell
early realized, taking one year with
another, the highest prices for their
grain. We noticed that when from
any cause whatever there was a sud.
den rise in wheat, they who were able
to hold were resolved not to sell till it
had reached the top price, and frequent
ly, just before 1t reached that price, il
suddenly fell far below the point from
which it started on its spasmodic adj
vance.
If farmers could always know with
accuracy just the amount of old grain
and flour left over, and the true con-
dition of the crops all over the world,
so that they might be able to Judge OF
the ratio OF supply to demand, they
would be prepared to decide whether
the early market is what it ought to be
or not but so long as there are grain
spectators all over the world trying to
bear the market by exaggerated state
ments of the amount of the old crop
left over in the great grain centers of
the world, and with over estimates of
the new crop, they are left without a
reliable guide.
Perhaps we may lay it down as a
general rule, that when the last years
crop has been, generally,a short one,
and the present one is abundant, the
early market will be the best but
when the last one was abundant, and
the current one is short, the latter
markets will be higher. We have
generally done quite as well to thresh
and prepare our grain for market as
soon as we conveniently could, and
when prepared, to sell it, and we do
not know that we can give any better
advice to Others.-AHl. Rural Home.

The Ross Child Abduction Case.

In the $50, 900 reward offered for nfor-

Among the differences to be drawn
from the proclamation there is one that
seems now to be pretty well grounded
on fact, and that is that the notice
authorities are in the completed iguo
rance, not only of the hiding place of
the kldnapers, but of the slightest clue
TO IL. The police have been working
with constant zeal, but no approach
whatever has yet been made to The So
luton of this dreadful enigma. There
are hundreds of rumofs coming daily
TO the notice of the chief, and every
one is run out, i'm order that at least
u may be said there was no lack of ex.
ertlon on the part of the department
to find the child.
Relative to the correspondence which
was for a time anonymously conducted
by the kidnapels and the father it NAV

denied absolutely by the chief of police
and by Mr.. Ross. Yesterday an offer
oil 500 was made by the proprietor of
a New York journal to the father of
the missing child for copies of the cor.
respondence. Mr.. Ross emphatically
declared that that journal could not
nave them mt any price, and that
when the proper time arrived the let
tiers would be furnished to the Phila-

TiltOn'S suit Against Beechpr

Judge Morris, Tilton's counsel, says that
Iilton has not yet commenced his suit
ed as soon as they are prepared. The suit
which Tilton proposes to bring against
Beecher has no reference TO the action of
tho committe whatever. The action of the
committee will neither hasten or delay the
commencement Of the action for moment.
In order that there may be no necessity for
further question as TO the proposed pro.
ceedings, the action will be brought in tho
Supreme Court precisely AS stated 1t will
be an action against Mr.. Beecher for crimi>
nal connection with Mrs. Tilton. The
amount claimed will be in accordance with
the magnitude of this suit, but in this con-
nection Mr. Tilton's purpose in bringing ac-
ton is MOTTO receivelany pecuniary benefit
but simply to vindicate his good name
against the atrocious ISLANDERS to which he
has been subject So far as Titon is con-
cerned the case will pressed for trial at the
earliest possible day. The report of the
will have no effect upon Tilton's
case at law.
