One fthe worst stories yet ofatroc-
ity comes from Forest, Harden Coun
ty, in this state, where a father became
angered at his little son who was with
him in the field, and beat him to death
before his young sister, and buried
the body in a log heap. The Incl
dent lacks no element of the horrible.
What blood thirsty brutes, in human
guise, are about us all the time!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-05-11

To send MCKEE to the penisentiary
and BABcocK back to Washington to
repeat his rascalities, is a shameful
mockery of justice. That MCKEE
should have been acquitted and BAB-
COCK convicted, is almost the unami-
nous sentiment of the people.

There is a class of men grown up
in this republic during the last if
teen years, who consider themselves
born, educated, and graduated for
public Office; they train in the Re
publican party and talk as if the
country and its institutions were
made only for their enjoyment and
pecuniary interest. Every cent OF
money expended for the public good
-all official patronage should flow
toward their Golfers, and unless it
does there is a continued howl of
dissatisfaction. These men should
go before the world with written up
on their foreheads-P. T. S.-public
teat suckers-or Q. +. H. O.-quak-
fed for holding o6fce-then there
need be no mistake as to their mer-
its; the people would know where to
find "disinterested, honest, faithful,
capable" public servants! Love OF
office and public patronage becomes
chronic and runs in families like
blood in game cocks, wide heads in
fighting dogs, and sorrel hair in
Tennessee horses. You a tell one
of these chaps just as easily as a
Broadway exquisite can be detected
by the amount of perfumery that il
requires to qualify the fungus on his
upper lip for a fashionable party.
After being fed at the public crib fol
forty years he becomes coneeited and
supercillious, and if it is limited that
Spriggins should give way for Smith,
why he Immediately sets up a yawr
that such change would impover.
ish the taxpayers and ruin the coun.
try. This kind of policy has govern.
ed the country too long, and it is a
bout time that the American people
make a change.

A truthful proverb is that the

save us from the thieves-Grants

The two-gill measure level full of ground
coffee; the same of cold coffee or water; one
egg, shell, yelk and white, mixed together in
bowl. Rinse ont your coffee boiler with
boiling water, put this in, and pour over ii
three pints OF .fercely boiling water, or two
plnts If you wish it strong. Close the spout
and lid closely, and boil fifteen or twenty
minutes pour in about four small tablespoon
fuls of cold water to settle it. Rinse out the
coffee urn with boiling water before pouring
the coffee in. THE boiled mlk'' for the cof.
fee must be fresh and new, not merely
warmed, or even brought to the boiling point,
but slowly simmered in farina boiler till it
attains thick, creamy richness then it must
be sent to the table in hot cream pitcher to
keep it warm. ''The whipped cream is
made by pouring cuptul OF rich cream into
deep bowl, holding the churn about a quar-
ter OF an inch from the bottom, and churnng
1t well. As fast as the stlffened froth rises to
the top of the cream, skim it off with Spool,
keep it cool, and send It TO the table in a
bowl. Put into each cup the desired amount
of sugar, a tablespoonful or so of the boiled
milk: pour on the coffee, and place on top
large spoonful of the whipped cream. Give a
gentle SUR to each cup before sending them
round. Do not grind coffee too fine. A heap

The whea, supply i'm England.

The wheat crop this year is the conclusion
OF history full OF alarms and surprises. Mr..
Card tells it very pleasantly in all its bear
ings and consequences, and reminds US, by
the contrast, of the mysterious and gloomy
tone with which the staff of life was always
discussed as late as thirty years ago. In
some respects the present state of things far
surpasses the direst predictions of that day.
We are dependent upon foreigners to an ex-
tent never then imagined. While the aver
age consumption is about twepty-three mil
lion quarters or, as the Customs Returns
state 1t, one hundred million hundredweghts,
during the last harvest year we have i'm
ported-happily it seems somewhat in excess
of our wants-sixty-three million hundred
weights, or not far from two. thirds of our
whole consumption.
Half of this came from the United States,
and SO much of our wheat supply depends,
therefore, not only on the good will OF that
country, but still more Immediately on her
commercial state, which is very variable. The
profit itself has to be nicely calculated, and in
Mr.. Cards opinion the prices which have
lately prevailed yield little or no profit. Such
fact is slowly appreciated, but when the
American farmers have once acted tupon it
and stopped supplies, it takes time to reverse
that movement and meet a rising demand
Five per centum of our wheat imports come
from BRUSH lndla-Where we have lately had
to feed famished population. A good deal
comes from Turkey and Egypt which, Mr..
Card observes, will have to send us wheat
because they both want money and can no
longer get it by simply borrowing. He sug-
gests, however, that in present circumstances
Turkey cannot be depended on for any con-
siderable supplied. France is too much in
our own condition to be sure of sparing us
wheat when we happen to want it; in fact, if
she has not to compete with us in the open
market, that is about as much as can be now
be expected. She has had poor harvest of
other grain and produce, and may want all
her own wheat and more. The wheat crop
of Canada is much lower than usual.
Here, then, is the very state of things
which a generation ago was prophesied as the
last page of our national decline and fall.
When all the world, including our jealous riv-
ais, found us dependent on them for more
than half of our daily bread, they had only to
put their heads together and destroy the
proud nation that had so oppressed and in
suited them. The contamination has come,
1t finds us year by year growing less wheat,
and the foreigner growing, if not absolutely
more, at least more than pays hm.-London
Times.

Autumn Rose.
BY PAUL II, HAYNE.

Gods pension upon each happy day,
Dead now and gone. Its gentle ghost our feet
Doth follow, singing taintly-and how sweet,
Tenderly sweet, as through luminous mist
Its shadowy lips draw near us to be kissed!
And though they melt upon the yearning mouth
Like fairy balm from some phantasmal south,
Their breath is magc and we feel the start
As of an unsealed fountain close at heart,
Till warmed, restored, breathing fine repose,
Our innerm0st nature, Weakening, glows anew;
While, gemmed by sunset memorys radiant dew,
Lol the heart blossoms like an autumn rose.
