likeness Of any deceased relative or
friend. For long time the firm did
large business. Twenty francs was the
ordinary fee, but many wealthy people
voluntarily paid 1000, 5000 and even
1000 francs. The photographers guard
ed themselves by saying they could new
er guarantee a likeness, because much
depended upon the strength OF faith OF
the applicant, and moreover, spirits
we're very capricious. In fact, the OPP
orators spiritoox was produced in court,
and it contained hundreds of portraits OF
men, women, boys and girls OF all ages,
which were selected, according to some
indications indirectly drawn out from
the applicant, stuck upon doll dressed
in muslin, and a hazy portrait OF aspl!rlt
was produced from it. In many in
stances the force of imagination was so
strong the photographers dupes believ-
ed that they saw the portraits OF their
relatives, aud burst into tears, fell upon
their knees, and even kissed the naughty
artists by way of thanks. Some very
respectable witnesses appeared for the
prisoners, among them Mr.. Sullivan,
formerly United States Minister at Mad
rid; and the result of the trial was that
the American was found to pe only ac-
cessory..to the case and reaped the light

FARM AND GRANGE
HOG CHOLORA.

A friend said to US this morning: II
have remedy for hog cholera which
has been often tried and never failed.
1t is raw beet | was brought to think
of it by hearing that distinguished
physician had cured dysentery by CIV
Ing the patient raw beef to eat. 1 re-
flected that the hog. like man, was nat
urally carniverous; but that in domesti-
cation he had nothing but vegetable
food. | had several hogs sick with
cholera at the time, all off their feed ard
some dying. | went to a butcher and
got some fresh beef, cut it up and ted it
to them. They ate il like hungry wolves
and recovered. Aiterwardl gave the
remedy to several neighbors and always
with good results, and in Cas- county,
Illinois, where then resided, it has be-
come the established remedy, one large
breeder, even, being accustomed to
slaughter a beef and throw the carcass
into his lot when his hogs are attacked.

100000 BUSHELS. OF CORN RAISED on
ONE FARM

Monday last we had the pleasure OF
meeting, for the first time, with Mr..
Elias Favor, one OF the most extensive
farmers and stock-raisers of cur county.
His farm lies just north of the Usage
River, some Is miles from this place,
and contains upwards OF 2,00) acres OF
choice land in a high state of cultiyation /;
and notwithstanding the fact that the
grasshoppers destroyed his first planting
of corn, he raised, inside of 100 days,
lO0,0 900 bushels OF corn. Now If there
is another man in the Southwest who
can make such a showing we would like
to hear from him One hundred thou
sand bushels of corn 90 cents per bushel,
the ruling price at this time,-is worth
Just $40. 600. Here is an answer to the
vexed question. docs farming pay?"
and we think it is quite a satisfactory
anser. Twenty thousand dollars is
quite snug little sum; and we serious
" doubt if there is another farmer in the
Southwest that has done AS well this
year Is our friend Taylor. But besides
raising this immense corn crop. Mr.
Taylor has been trading quite extensive
ly in cattle and hogs. and is now teed
ing 500 head of cattle and 800 head o.
hogs

SOME MODERN SAYINGS.

"Honesty is the best Policy" Unless
you can get about S5O,OOo and effect a
settlement at 50 per cent.
Honor thy father and thy mother,
particularly about circus time when you
don't know where to raise fifty cents.
Never run in debt when you can avoid
it. 1t is much better to go stubbllng
around in u broadcoth coat than to be in
debt for suit of Scotch mixed.
Let your motto be. Liberty or DEATH
and if it comes to the pinch take the
most OF it in libe ty.
Remember the poor. If you know of
Il family who are out OF provisions and
fuel, keep them in your thoughts until
YOU meet Smith or Brown, and then tel
them they'd better make a donation. Ii
they hold off tell them that ''he who CIV
eth to the poor lendeth to the Lord" 1t
is very easy to rene nber the poor. l
can remember cases twenty years ago.
Respect old age. lfyou have maid
en- aunt forty years old, and she is pass
ing herself off Tor a girl oftwenty-three,
there is no call for You to expose her.
The more you respect her age and keep
still about it the more she will think
about you.
Never marry for wealth but remem-
Der that it is just as easy to love girl
who has brick house with manstrd
roof and silver-plated bell as one who
hasn't anything but an auburn head and
an amiabie disposition.
Love your neighbor rs yourself. Bor-
row his plow, hoe or horses whenever
you can, but if be wants to borrow yours
tell him that you're very sorry but You
were just going to use them youselt.
Be guarded by your own conversation.
There are tines when you may freely ex-
press your opinion in favor OF political
candidate, but you had better wait until
his friends are over in the next county
visiting.

can run or furrow pillow. and roll
lers and harrows y feet wide. The en-
gines are on eacn side OF Il field, say
1900 feet apart, and thereby over 600
acres can be worked in section. To
work this amount of land with horses,
will cost in horses and harness and var
ious implements FL, $50 or $3.50, while
the engine. with tackle complete cost
but 1, 800 or $4,000. The repairs OF en-
gines may amount to $500 a year, a
small sum in comparison with the man
and horse flesh. and smith work, while
the wages of farm hands far exceed the
wages Of engineers and assistants. An.
other great advantage of steam power
lies in the greater expedition, for in ia
vorable days Of an inclement season for
more can be done than could be obtain
ed from any number of horses. Mean
while, cultivation is so superior that
where the steam plows have worked but
once ''the land never forgets it," Such
enterprise and such interest manifested
in rural affairs by peer of the Realm, :
are worthy Of being considered by rich
men in the United States.-R. F,

A GUN THAT HELD A REGIMENT AT
BAY.

Mr.. William B. Winans has in his
possession remarkable gun, and one
that has an unwritten, and partly an
unknown, history more remarkable than
the weapon itself AS to where it was
made or by what train OF circumstances
its ath-dealing crack became sound
ofterror along the Tennessee and Cum
berlani Rivers during the earlier years
of the late war, We shall not pretend to.
The very sound of the gun became
known and familiar, and an ominous
one along the infantry skirmish lines,
and among the sharpshooters. Near the
time OF the battle of Shiloh some infant
nv had been employed in a skirmish or
recoinoiteripg duty in the deep-.angl d
woods. Crank. lang, boom. roared at
intervals the old gun in tn distance, at
every discharge laying a soldier stiff and
SHIFT their positions as they might the
gun would bang away, and with hiss
and a thud there would be one soldier
less. The direction OF the firing was
ascertained, and the entire regiment or
party was ordered to charge toward it
without knowing where or what it was.
On they went, losing man at every few
PAGES. Nothing was accomplished. and
the party returned, leaving the:murder-
Gus gun cracking away as they retreat
ed. Shortly afterward the old firelock
was heard again with her murderons mu-
sic. 1t was resolved at all hazards to find
the internal machine. Alter persistent
efforts tall. raw-boned, grizzlebeard-

sation with the proprietor he told us that
he had tried many different kinds of
racks. and none of them had given sat-
isfaction. Some farmers feed their hay
in rail pens. some on brush piles. and a
very great many scatter it upon the
ground. Ne suppose it is safe to say
that one-third OF the hay raised and ted
is annually wasted. We noticed last
winter cheap and easily constructed
rack, and are satisfied that il will come
into very general use and give entire
satisfaction. While this rack may be in
use in some localities, we are satisfied
that in many places it has not been
adapted. Take six posts. eight feet long.

the ground and nail plank to the posts

This structure forms the inner side OF the
rack: the outer side of the wall is Sxl6

pen, or pen can be built OF poles OF
logs. This outer pen is two feet six

PATRON'S SONG,

4his grange became SO mighty great
IN few days, few days,
We made the tyrants feel our weight,
We know the way.
Well show the kings they can't put down

The BOYS and girls on prairie ground.l
They know the way.

In few days, few days,
And reform this whole great nation.
We know the way
Here everything goes on by storm,
In few days, few days;

Here every girl soon gets beau,
In a few DAYS, few days.
And that's Just what they want you know

Let's show them they are just to late.
We know the way.

In few days. few days;
Have fed that hungry quarling crew,
We know the way.
The place monopolies to meet,
In few days, few days.
Well take some morn before we eat,
We know the way;
Der this broad land OH hill and crag.
In few days, few days,
Well soon set up the Patrons flag,
We know the way.
