Something Like.

CLOSE upon the shore of Lake Whine
| piseogee is a town; and In that town
dwells man whom we will call Amber
Mr.. Amber keeps store; and, as he is, q
genial, accommodating man. he keeps for
sale everything which the good people of
the country can reasonably expect him to
keep. Particularly has it been the prac-
tice of Mr.. Amber to keep a barrel Of
whisky on tap in his cellar One in the
fall and one in the spring will generally
carry him through. He is very careful to
whom he sells, and, so far as is known,
the authorities have never given him any
trouble.
One day Mr.. Eliphalet Spooner entered
the store with a slight protuberance visible
upon his left breast. Mr.. Spooner was
deacon and most proper man. He called
the merchant aside and asked him if he
had any good whisky. Amber nodded in
the affirm ative.
"Will you let me have pint 81 and
the deacon pulled from his breast pocket
pint bottle.
Certainly" said the trader; and forth
with he departed for the cellar. When he
returned he brought the full bottle, care
fully wiped and corked.
What is to pay?"
Fifty cents"
Mr.. Spooner handed him over a fifty
cent scrip, and then, in hesitating way,
drew the cork. He placed the bottle to
IL
quality of the liquor. He did this twice,
and the expression on his face was one Of
hesitation and doubt.
Mr.. Amber he said, "I'm getting
this for my wife. Is this the very bestyou
have?''
ooh! you want it for medicine?''
Yes, certainly"
If that is the case the sentence was
finished with smile and reaching forth
for the bottle.
Down into the cellar went the store
keeper again. There was no need that he
should empty the bottle and refill it, for
he had but one solitary barrel from which
to draw; so he took turn around and
soon came back, wiping the bottle afresh
Il shall have to charge you eighty-seven
cents for this, Mr.. Spooner."
Having paid the extra charge with the
utmost cheerfulness, Mr.. Spooner placed
the bottle again to his lips and tasted crit
ically.
"Ahan' he uttered, with bright smile
and grateful nod, g this is something
like"
And he went away entirely satisfied.
And Mr.. Amber, also, Notwithstanding the
fraud he had perpeTated, appeared to be
satisfied, if one might judge by the quiet
smile that Illuminated his rubicund Wis
age.-CleUeZand Herald.

Thinning Fruit.

N0vices in fruit culture, as well as =
large class who believe in allowing a tree
to injure itself by overbearing, never thin
out the young fruit or thin overburdened
trees; but the shrewd orchardist. who
knows the road to success by experience,
at this season carefully removes a portion
of the smaller specimens, as we'll as some
OF large size, when thickly clustered to-
gether, and by this means actually in
creases the weight of his crop and makes
it more valuable. The grower of foreign
grapes, more than any other gardener, is
aware Of the advantages to be derived from
thinning out the branches; he knows we'll
that theyxwill outweigh those not thinned.
and the berries will swell up to double
the size Of their neglected companions.
And so it is with peaches and pears, with
perhaps less need as general rule. 1t
does seem akin to sacrilege when we begin
to destroy so many healthy young peaches,
for instance; but we must bear in mind
that if allowed to remain on the tree until
maturity they will not be so healthy and
the tree, unable to bear its burden, may be-
come useless in the future. 1t canned be
impressed upon readers too strongly to
commence now, and see that none of their
fruit trees are in condition to iniure both
their crop of fruit and themselves by too
heavy task. Relieve them of portion,
for it appeals strongly to your pockets

Al one time it was a very common
thing to nail horseshoes on the thresholds
OF doors, that being said to hinder the
power of witches even if thew enter the
house, and the majority of houses at the
West End OF London had the horseshoe on
the threshold. Even as late as 1918 writer
informs US that he counted no less than
seventeen horseshoes nailed against the
steps of doors IN Monmouth street. Some
times persons have nailed horseshoes on
the doors and thresholds of witches bouses
for the purpose of keeping them ina sort
of barricade al their own homes.

Gov. Porter's Message.

The following abstract of Gov.
Porter's Message, is taken from
the Knoxville CHRONICLE. 1t
seems to have given satisfaction 10
all parties Ed. NEws.l
The Governors message was read Ia
both Houses The message is short
Ii recommends reduction of the State
expenses ia every possible form, and
Il objects TO an increase of taxation {:
uTger q change of the criminal law,
making petit larceny misdemeanor
in favor or incrt asipg magistrates
Jurisdiction. and making all cOun-
ties pay the cost of criminal prOsecu-
tiOns recommends allowing all coun-
ty and Stata officers limited incomes,
doing away with the fees and perquis-
ties hopes there will be no material
change made in the school law, tut
that an appropriation be made for the
establishment of state normal bOOl:
the Gov. also recommends the Leg
islature to ascertain the costs Of = SUR
vey of the State; recommends that
there be additional legislation so Is To
make the iabOrs of the Commissioners
of Imigratinn more effective; recon-
mends the adoption of the resolution
inviting the attention of the Senators
and Representatives to the additional
Importance 10 Tennessee of the South
ern Pacific railroad, and the necessity
of its completion. The message closes
with reference TO the condition of NJ
fairs in Louisiana. He says that the
theory now practiced by the Federal
au' hOrities, that States are mere mu-
nicipal corporations TO be governed by
a central authority at Washington, is
a political heresy and must be de-
nOunced by all who seek TO maintain
the principals Of constitutional liberty.

The Virginia Legislature wilt have
to chat &c its tactics. Immigrant,
will not settle in Virginia until We
lessen the huge load that is now held
on the back of the poor old Sinbad
with the iron belt Of the Funding
Bill. It will be of no use to spend
sI5, 900 to have a few foreign pau,
pers come here and then leave in dis
gust. Our horrid country roads are a
bar to the influx OF any people who
have been used to 60 d ones -
AZ our present rate Of taxation We
cannot bear a road tax in addition.
Lands are cheap because unproduc
tise. Mines are undeveIoped because
inaccessible. Unstrap from our backs
one half of this public debt. give us q
system of McAdam roads and cur
lands will not only Goable in price,
but they will quadruple in produc
tiveDesS, and the State will soon fill
up with men and capital and manu-
features It is TO use to mince words
about it. The desperate condition Of
our State requires a desperate and
prompt remedy. Talk about law |!
Did it take Law to dismember the
State? Talk about prorating the
population of the two halves Of Vir-
ginia to ascertain the rate OF division.
Why all Of our richest mineral wealth
has been cut from US with the sharp
scimetar of war! To day, if Virginia
could be reunited, We could sell
West Virginia to Pennsylvania or
Ohio for double the whole public
debt.
For us now to pay this public debt
will be public death. L: will be i'm
possible to reruperate under it. All
of these stiff and jagged truisms would
be insufficient if it we're not unjust to
exact it of the people. The funder
is cruel and his demand unjust!
