-The most persistent marksman in
Phillipston, Mass, Is Cyrus Cheney, a
blacksmith. His shop stands close to the
road, and on the opposite fence he has
fixed target. In the leisure intervals of
his work he picks up his rifle aud fires
from his doorway at the mark. This habit
of Cheney's makes it inconvenient for the
neighbors. but they have got used to it.
and are careful about the bullets while go
ing by his shop. j. w. IIagar drove that
way with valuable horse. AT the same
time Cheney, sitting on his anvil, drew
bead on the bulls eye of the target across
the road. Hagar's horse trotted into range
Just as Cheney pulled the trigger, and so
the animal dropped down and died with
bullet in his brain. Cheney said that he
had fired from his own shop nj his own
target, and If Hagar had recklessly driven
his horse between that was IIagaf's own
affair. A lawsuit has been begun.

If man wants to go into the business he
buys the bonds. puts them up at Washing

he simply returns the bills and takes out
his bonds. Don you see that whenever
the democrats get SO near winning an

will call in their bills, they will take out
their bonds, they will sell their bonds,
they will pocket the premium. You will

amount you have deprived the National
banks of. II YOU democrats have got
tongues, don't you think the stupid bank
men have got ears? You can not rush in
special classes of the bonded debt. for the
moment YOU specify that class, that class
will sell the bonds they have got.
You can only do one thing. You can
only pay off the entire bonded debt by
greenbacks. Now let us see how near
the end we are. then? The bond is the

The Coming Harvest.

The Cincinnati Price Current, which
is usually well informed on such matters,
says: Taking the country at large, we
may say that there never was a more
favorable season for almost everything
which the land produces. The wool clip
is doubtless the largest ever sheared In
the country. The winter wheat was in
iured somewhat In the West, but the
deficiency, If there is any, will be neu-
tralized by the largely increased amount
of breadstuffs produced In the Southern
States, which will reduce the demand
from that section upon the West, and all
other grain promises exceedingly we'll ;"
The cotton crop at the South holds out
an equally cheering prospect, and the
probabilities in regard to the root
crops are also encouraging. In
Europe, too, the crops are uniformly
good, SO that We may expect only mod
crate export demand for breadstufs.
With such prospects there is reason to
expect continued low prices for the staff
off life, and other articles must come
down to their nominal level. A year in
which the crops are good cannot be al
together bad one for business, and
though the long looked-for revival of
trade may not be realized this year,
solid foundation will be laid whereupon
to rear a new commercial superstructure
that shall be enduring. IF the crops
throughout the world turn out according
to their present promises it will be i'm
possible for the present depressed state
of the trade to continue beyond the close
of the present year. With good crops
we may defy commercial panics, and
look forward with hope to prosperous
era for business all over the world.

Creosote for Preserving Timber.

A recent Washington special says
lsF The New Orleans and Mobile railroad
company has recently purchased from 4
firm in New York 10000 barrels of creo-
sote oil, to be used for the protection of
their bridge timbefs and piling against
the attacks Of the marine worm. the
tere00 qsoea as This, transaction Illus
trates the growth and progress of a new
industry in this country. The tgredo is
SO destructive to timber on the South
Atlantic ana Gulf coasts that piling is
frequently rendered entirely worthless
in the space Of eighteen months. The
use Of creosote oil to prevent the attacks
and save the timber has long been prac-
ticed in Europe, and its efficacy has
been we'll proved. The New Orleans
and Mobile road is the. first to make an
extensive experiment with the article in
the United States. :"

The Last of Four. ,

Katie, the last survivor Of the quartette
of Hahn babies, who we're born on the
10th of February last, on Low street,
died yesterday afternoon at o'clock, Of
whooping- cough, aged just five months.
Her sisters, Mary, Jennie and Sarah died
of catarrh when about one month old.
After the death of these three the re-
maiuing one, Katie, grew finely, and her
parents had hoped that she would be
raised. The Hahn quartette were the
sensation during their short existence,
and interest In their welfare was mani
festedin different sections of the country.
Stories were set afoat of the birth of
uuartettes of babies in other sections
about the same time, but it was not be-
lieved by medical men that any of them
were true. Little Katie will be buried

4 Memorable Balloon Voyage.

The following particulars concerning
the trip of Prof. La Mountain and John
A. Haddoc, who went up in balloon In
the year 1859, is related by the brother
of the latter person, Rev. G. G. Haddoc,
and will be read with interest, in view of
the fact that great many people accept
the theory that Donaldson's balloon has
landed in Canada. They left Water
town, n. T., about 4 p. M, intending
to land at Ogdensburg and return on the
9 p.m. train of the same day. TWAS ten
days before they were heard from. All
sorts of rumors were afoat, one that a
bottle had been found at Rome, N. Y,
containing the following
"Three days up in a balloon. la Mountain
crazy-can hardly manage him. Cannot reach
safety valve.
(Signed) T. A. HADDoo"
Mr.. Haddoc says nothing of the kind
ever happened. They travelled much
faster than they were aware of, having
no means Of telling how fast they were
going. They thought they were up
three and half miles and found it very
cold. Landing in Canada, they we're
four days without anything to eat.
On the fourth day in Canada they
suddenly came across party Of lumber
men. A half breed had just shot a duck
in the water and La Mountain rushed in,
caught the duck and commenced eating
it, feathers and ALL This scared the
poor half breed nearly to death. The
first hotel they struck was at Ottawa.
They were very ragged and dirty, and
asked the clerk for a warm ROOM He
took one look at them, and replied I:
sThe house is full, not room to spare.
(How hotel-clerky , They then told
him who they were, and he jumped over
the counter, caught them in his arms,
and said the whole house was at their
service (How clerky that sounds, tooO
They were Toasted free of expense all the
way home. Mr.. Haddoc is now engaged
in the printing business in Philadelphia;
he has no faith in the success of bal
looms. The other Mr., Haddoc, being a
progressive man, thinks that within 30
years, we will navigate the air as well as
we do the water now.

With lungs of iron and wings of flame.
With nerves and sinews Of quivering steel,
With ribs of brass and giants frame,
He spurns the earth with an angry heel.
Though the midnight black
His eyeballs glare
With CHASTITY stare
On the startled track,
And he rends the sky with scream of pain
Oh, monster grim is the lightning train!
The legend tells Of milk-white steed
That carried Mohammed from earth to heaven;
AS swift fash of light her speed,
And jeweled feet to her feet were given:
Each leap was as far
As the eye has sight,
And each hoof as bright
As blazing STAR #
And CLEAN like the stream that the comet yields
AL Borak left in the rosy fields.
A wonderful arrow was that of old
That bore Saint Abaris through the land
It was feathered with light and barbed with gold,
And sped by the touch of Apollo's hand
With a sibilant song
1t cleft the cloud
That shouted aloud
AS it flashed along,
And the sea never saw from its throbbng tide
A vision so rare as the prophets ride.
The Sultan's cap and magical wand
Bore Fortunatus to isles remote,
The talisman took him to every land
And to every sky in its airy boat
But the cleaning shaft
From the archer's arm,

And the phantom craft,
And the steed that skinned the azure plane
Are all combined in the flying train.
II deyours the forest and drinks the lake.
Then plvnges down the wild ravines
With the wealth of the world ON its burdened back;
A sooty man from the saddle leans
And murky wreath
Its jaws emit
AS he tightens the bit
In the dragons teeth,
And his cheek is swept by the fiery name
Oh, monster grim is the lightning train
