Whittier takes the recent
denial of the Barbara Freitchie
story quite good-naturedly.
He admits that the lady who
related the incident to him may
have been misinformed, and
says: IF so, / can only say
that | shall regret it, not so
mnch from a feeling of persons
al disappointment as that it
involves the loss of the noble
ideal of patriotism to which /
sought to do honor. AS a mat

perpetuate in any offensive
sense the incidents of that sad
fraternal strife. the very names
of whose battle-fields l would

The words treason and rebel

Northern mouths, and Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, in
their present glorification of a
successful treason,a are suggest
ing to themselves that, after
all, perhaps, the supreme fault
of the South was that it did
not succeed.r-lSt. Louis Re

The great trouble with indie
pendent politicians is that they
are working, and maneuvering,
and intriguing all the while to
fill a place that never has been,
never will be, and never can
be, vacant. Of course. then,
they are unsuccessful, and
fruitful only of mischievous
resnlts.-[-St Louis Times

There is no longer need to
strive to make our conntrymen

folly. Let us henceforth act

nation, not weaker but strong

The fact that the cordial re-
ception Of Vice President Will

surprise is proof that the

has been misrepresented in

degree. Certainly, this warmth
Of the greeting extended to

A Hint to Farmers.

In some sections-and it would be a
decided advance in thoughtfulness and
kindness in all ections--farmers give
each of their boys, and girls, too, a
strip of land to raise whatever they
choose upon it, and dispose of the pro-
duct for their own benefit. 1t Is fa-
vor that they appreciate, and 1t is a
pleasant and serviceable employment
for them in their leisure hours. They
will vie with each other in their skill
in raising their little crops, and the
proceeds applied to their own use are
frequently of some value; and the
whole arrangement, while it instructs
them in the cultivation of the soil ear
ly implants in the children the idea of
thrift and economy.
Sometimes, where good many ami
mails are raised, a pig, a lamb, a calf,
up to even a colt, according TO the age
of their children, is given to each to
rear and to keep or sell. Farmers,
think of this; it will more than repay
you in the happiness and confidence
1t will impart to your SONS and dau-
ters. Germantown Telegraph.

married about six months, and have
not agreed very well. Hubby thought
his Daisy didn't fulfill her promise to
obey, and in order to scare her into it
tied a towel around his throat, placed
Il bloody basin and razor in con-
spicuous position and lay down on the
bed looking pale. This failed to work
a reform, and OH Sunday he took her
out for a walk. He wanted to 90 in
swimming, and she blushed and ran
away to her mother. He followed
and tried to compel her to go with
him. She refused, whereupon he
grabbed her hair and cut her throat
with razor, followed up with a SIM
liar infiiction Oh himself. His hand
wasn't heavy enough, and both will
probably recover.

THE BLACK HILIs.-Walter P. Janney,
Geologist of the Black Hills Expedition, in
letter to the Department dated June %,
says, while examining the gravel deposits at
the north end of Castle Creek, he found gold
in small quantities in bars or terraces of allu-
vial quartz gravel, resting on bed of rock
about ten feet above the present level of the
stream. The area of the bars was quite linn
tied. The gold which they contain has evil
IDENTIFY been furnished by the quartz veins
traversing the States along the stream. There
was considerable excitement among the SOL
diers and teamsters about gold on the arrival
of the expedition on French Creek but as
no one obtained, even by several hours labor,
more than few cents worth of gold dust,
none of the command we're afterward seen
working for the precious metal. After fifteen
miners have located claims on the creek. The
reports they give of the richness of the gravel
barsare greatly exaggerated. Mr.. Janney's
prospecting shows a general diffusion Of small
quantities of gold over large area. He sunk
shaft of 10 feet to the bed rock, near the
stockade, and obtained but trace of gold.--
Nothing has yet been discovered to warrant
extensive mining operations. He intends ex-
amining the country to the north Of Harvey
Peak. Mr.. Janney sends with his letter small
grains of specimen gold.
