SWORD AND PLOW.

There was Count, SO I've heard it said
Who felt that his end drew near;
And he called his sons before his bed
To parl them his goods and gear.
He called for his pillow, he called for his sw ord
The gallant, good and brave;
They brought him both at their father word
And thus he his blessings gave:
''My frst-born son, my pride and might,
Do thou my sword retain;
My castle on the lordly height,
And all my broad domain.
On thee; my well-lovei younger boy,
My plOw here bestow;
A peaceful life shalt thou enjoy
In The qui ct vale Below
COntented sank the SIZE to rest,
Now all was given away;
The sons held tue his last behest,
Fen on their dying day.
"Now tell us Whist came of the steel of fame,
OF the castle and its knight;
And tell us what came of the vale so tame,
And humble pleasant weight?''
o ask not of me what tie end may be?
Ask of The county round!
The castle is dust, the sword is rust,
The height is but desert ground
But the vale spreads vile in the golden pride
or the autumn sunlight now;
1t teens and it ripens FIR and wide,
And the honor adde's the pillow.

Pare CiStern Water.

Considering how many people there
are who do not live in the city where the
water supplied is beyond their care and
control, there is q marvellous lack OF
knowledge respecting the treatment of
wells and cisterrs. The sediment collect
ed in months, if not years. of roof-wash
ings, particles Of decaying shingles. SCOT,
and bird excrements is frequently left to
settle in the cistern, to decompose and
render the cistern foul. Every cistern
should be built so that it can be easily
emptied and cleaned, unless the water
passes into it through filter. 1t should
be done certainly once, and better twice,
a year. After it is emptied, water
should be thrown in for rinsing, and
usually surprising amount of filth will
be found. 1t is considered by many a
very advantageous thing to throw a
bushel or SO Of charcoal into the cistern
for purifying purposes. 1t will un.
doubtebly absorb something of the i'm
purity, but it should not be relied on to
the exclusion of thorough cleansings. In
the midst of the numerous Cleaning up"
labors which come at this time in the
year the we'll ought not to be neglected.
Remember that it may easily become
fountain of disease instead of health if
dangerous surroundings are not removed.

INTERVIEWING


The correspondence between the thing
sigEifed in this newly coined word and
the Vileness of the word itself is perfect.
ITO interview" man (t is useless for the
intelligent foreigner to seek this word in
dictionary is term applicable only to
members of the press. 1t is an act
which no man unconnected with news
paper can perform. An attempt to do SO
would be resented as an intrusion, and if
the intruder should find himself suddenly
precipitSted into the street, his ears at the
same time assailed by the "click of gen
tlemen's boot" the circumstance would
surprise nobody, and the sufferer wouldIbe
very unlikely to get damages" from any
court of competent Jurisdiction For the
sake of the intelligent foreigner above
mentioned we will give succinct defni-
ton of this technical phrase. ITO inter-
view" man, then, is to perform an
act which requires q brazen brow, q
def tongue and q rhinocerous hide.
The man who undertakes it must
be deaf to discouragng tones, blind
to dark looks, insensible to polite rebuffs.
He must push his point when the indi-
vidual subjected to his verbal thumb
screws gives only vague information, and
set forth the claims of the institution he
represents, namely, the press, to the aid
Of all public men. If the replies ELECTED

truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, he is liable to be set forth in
continently by the despotic functionary
as "a liar" Now it is an admitted prin-
ciple that impertinent questions may be
met in any manner that may seem best to
the questioned. An excellent and most
conscientious authority, no less moralist
than Thomas Carlyle, maintains that the
person subjected to unwarranted catechis-
ing is justified in leaving his questioner,
not exactly misinformed, "but simply
uniformed" Less aerupulous persons,
however, hold looser views, and teach that
impertinent questions invite untrue an.

should be. But the afternoon papers
yesterday came very near creating panic
by coming out with the startling head
lines: Georgia to Louisiana" When we
read this in the Picdyune we feared there
had been an offer of troops made to rein
force our White League, and were only
treasured by glance at the Bulletin,
which reduced the sensation somewhat.
That jealous sensational journal has it;
"The Georgia Board of Trade to Louisi-
ana" So it was not military after all;
only hobnobbing between merchants.
Yet the Board of Trade of Georgia"
would no doubt be highly respectable
and influential body of gentlemen if such
thing happened to be in existence.
Further investigation disclosed the fact
that the great bugbear emsnated from a
little unheard-of town in Georgia, called
Albany So that fright passed off, as, no
one having any acquaintance with Albany
or it's board of trade, we finally came to
the conclusion that both are small po-
tatoes
Nothing authentic of cheering nature
to our Democracy has come from any Re-
publican of prominence. We have had q
silly speech put into the mouth of Vice
President Wilson, which he made the re-
porters who invented it contradict the
next day, and similar attack has been
made on Speaker Blaine, which, in all
probability, he has not yet seen. Two or
three members of the Cabinet have also
had words put into their mouths which
they probably never thought of, but which,
as they purport to be condemnatory of
the administration of which they ere a
part, are highly priced by our White
League friends, and actually given pre-
ference over the utterances of such
chronic political ulcers as Cox, Eldridge,
Beck, Upton and the like. 1t is not
likely any Cabinet officer would indulge
in such language as is imputed to Messrs.
Bristow, Fish and Jewell, unless he had
previously rendered his resignation. But
while nothing in the shape of Republican
opinion is permitted to come over the
wires by the agents employed by both
parties to send news, without reference to
its political nature, the faithful mails will
supply the want in day or two. We
shall see the feeble blowing of the North
ern sympathizers with the new Southern
rebellion met by such whirlwind of in
dignation as will make them quail as they
did after the first battle of Bull Run.
We see indications of this in the patriotic
and decided stand taken by the Repub-
lican members of Congress. We see no
finching among them, and we may be
sure that if any member of the Cabinet
feels that he is out of place in the present
company his resignation will be quite in
order.
We must not lose sight of the TACT that
the government is conducting this bust
ness, not August Belmont and his cent
per cent associates in New York, nor their
brethren of tho Georgia Board of Trade,
coated in the little backwoods town of
Albany. The American people will most
assuredly sustain the President in all
measures taken by him to enforce the
laws, ana the sooner our jubilapt Dem
ocracy realize this fact the less there will
be in the'way of folly to repent of or deny
altogether hereafter.
