A. Coed Deal of Truth.

There is a good deal Of truth in the
following remarks which we clip from
the Massachusetts, Ploughman
Farmers are doing we'll when all
other classes are doing little or moth
ing. The first wants of society have
to be supplied at any rate, and that is
something to be depended on. People
must live before they can make mutu-
al profits and the products of the soil
are the first things that are called for.
If prices are lower than they once
were, 50 are the prices of commodities
to the farmer who has his products to
sell. He gets his advantage in one
way, if he does not another. If agri-
culture is to be relied on in Il period
of general stagnation, it certainly
shows that it contains within itself
the elements of permanent and solid
prosperity. And it's strongest recon-
mendation is that it always inculcates
the lesson that it is folly to make
haste to be rich.
If there is class of people in the
lower world who have been prosper
Gus for the past few years, it is the
farming. Their crops have been good,
and in spite of the hard times and
other disadvantages.
A Profitable Industry.
The Northwest is wheat, and wheat is
money, hence wheat is the great sta
pie of the state, but did it ever occur
to our readers that wool, too, is money.
1t is extremely desirable that farmers
should have two strings to their bow.
1t is CONVENIENT to have money in the
vest pocket just before harvest. Those
who give attention to the sheep fold
always have that indispensable article
just after shearing time. An OCCASION
ally fat mutton always finds ready mar
ket from which source there is more
money, and all without interference tc
the wheat fields.
We consider the great question to
the farmer is, will diversity of crops
pay? We take the affirmative side OF
the case, and answer yes. Farmers
should not only raise wheat, but every
thing incident to the soil and climate
Especially should more attention be
given to stock. Sheep in many in
stances have never been introduced
on the farm in the northwest at all
and yet there is no part of the CONT
nent where more induce nents are Of
fered for the propagation Of shee]
than right here in the valley of th'
the Mississippi. Our climate is FREE
from disease, and is peculiarly adapted
to the propagation of sheep.

PerilS of Investment.

Among the troubles of the hour, says
Burleigh, in the Boston Journal, is
what to do with ones money. 1t is not
safe in the bank. The trust companies
turn out to be vain things for safety.
The more real estate man has the
worse he is off. There have been q
great many times in tho last fifty years
when people could not make money un-
less they had money to make it with.
But there has never been time till now
when people could not make money
with money to make it with. The pecu-
liarity Of this panic is that you can do
nothing with the money. No invest
ment seems safe, and millions are lying
idle. The recent furry in New York
shows this. Everybody who could
have taken out their money from real
estate aud put it into stocks. A certain
line of stocks was considered as good
as gold. This was especially true OF
coal stocks. All along the line of the
Lackawanna and kindred roads stock
was held by well-to families. In
single house lately families with in
comes from $4,000 to $4,000 year
were made penniless. It is said that if
the great railroad men were obliged to
realize at once larger part of the So
called millionaires would be as poor as
their neighbors. Nearly all our heavy
companies, if obliged to throw their
real estate on to the market, would find
themselves in bad way.

Price Of Cows.

William Sheldon, of Upper Provi'
dence, we'll known as one of the most
extensive dealers in Montgomery coun-
ty, Pa, has furnished the american
with some valuable information on the
subject of tht price of COWS for the last
forty years. Mr. Sheldon is careful,
methodical mai, and his statements
may there ofe be relied on. He says
that previous to 1885, and during that
year, good COWS could be bought from
$18 to $24. From 1886 to 1886 the
average price was 800. During the
years 1887 and 1888, 1913. In 1887 the
average was $39 per head; in 1910,
average $50; with dull trade during
1841 the average price went down to
$19, at which price the market stood
the two following years of 1841 and
1912; in 1843 there was light rise,
the average going up to 1922; in the next
year there was a rise of about 81, the
price being 1923 per head; in 1846, $24
per head; in 1847 and 1848, $22 to $25;
in 1849, 1850, 1861 and 1852 the market
averaged 1926; in 1853 the average was
the same, but the market was not SO
strong; in 1854 the average was $2S;
the highest price was $40 and the lowest
1922 and 1923. In 1855 and 1856 the
average was $50. In the spring of 1857
the market was excitable, and the aver
age for the year reached $34, but prices
went down very low at the end of the
season. In 1858 and 1859 the market
was low and hard, averaging $29. In
1860 and 1861 good lots brought $35 per
head. During the next three years good
prices were obtained, the average being
about $65 per head; some good lots
averaged over 800. Since then the
markets have been high, and drovers
have done we'll. Just now there is
downward tendency, and the prospect If
that prices will continue to decline for
some time. Mr.. Sheldon says that the
best COW he ever sold was from the
mountains, and she n ade eighteen
pounds of butter per week. She was
muley of the common stock.

The Canadian Indians.

A communication from the officials of
the Canadian government, forwarded
from the British Possessions, was some
time since received at the State and
War departments at Washington, max
ing statement that the Blackfeet In
dams had received present OF tobacco
from Sitting Bull, and smoke was had
over the proposition of their tribe join
ing the hostiles on the war path.
This was finally decided in the mega
tive, and since then, in view Of the
probability that they might be subjected
to the vengeful ire OF the warning Sioux,
the Blackfeet Indians became apprehen-
sive of danger, and have asked whether
proper arrangements would be made for
their proper protection in the event Of
the Sioux coming down upon them as
enemies. The Canadian government
have signi6ed to the Blackfeet that they
did right in adopting their peaceful
course, and that they will be protected
as far as possible with suca force as it
can provide. ...,
But as they are at long distance
from where Canadian troops can be fur
nished and as they cannot be well
AhI ICAcA uu11uS uAlo oenooIA w WIG OcuA-
try OF the Blackfeet, they are author
ized, if necessary, to arm and equip for
defense in the employ OF the Canadian
government 1000 of their tribe to be
used in defense of their interests and
homes should they be attacked, as they
apprehend, by Sitting Bull and his war
riors. Provision has accordingly been
made by them in the event of the hos
tile Sioux going into British territory
for refuge or warlike operations to me t
them with armed resistance, and it is
that the United States gov
will also make q demand for
their capture and surrender to its
forces, when found there, to be punish
ed for the transgressions and outlawry
they have been guilty of on the plains.
This the Blackfeet, it is expected, will
also aid in carrying out. From these
facts and tho movement of the Sioux
northward away from Generals Crook
and Terry, it is believed Sitting. Bull
will be heard Of ere long in the British
P Possessions. .rg....ts,

A New Idea.

A retail dry goods house in Chicago
has discovered short road to bank
ruptcy. 1t proposes to license custom
ers to examine the goods on the pay
ment of small fee. When ladies' enter
the door they will be met by 2 page,
who will say "Do you wish to buy,
madam, or only to shopT II the reply
is "To buy" the customer will be cs-
corted to the department she selects and
the article she asks for will be shown
her, but nothing else. If she says ''' To
shop" she will have to buy ticket for
each member of the party, inscribed
"Good for one shopping. The bearer
is entitled to turn over all the goods in
this store. Not transferable. u Good for
this day and store only" The Sc tickets
will be sold in packages at reduced
rates, and arrangements will be made to
accommodate people who desire to COM
mute by the month, quarter or year.

In the Nest. .

Gather them close to your loving heart
Cradle them on your breast
They will soon enough leave your broodinl
care,
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that the chidren's hearts are gay,
That their restless feet will run
There may come time In the by-and-bye
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound of childish fun;
When you'll long for repetition sweet,
That sounded through each room,
OF "Mother !" Mother /" the dear love calls
That echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom.
Thsro may come time whom you'll long to
The eager, boyish tread,
Tho tuneless whistle, the clear, shrill shout,
Tho busy bustle in aud out,
And pattering overhead.
Whom the boys and girls arc all grown up
And scattered far ard wide,
Or gone to the undiscovered shore
Whore youth and age come nevermore,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them CLOSE to your lo'irg heart
Cradle them on your breast,
They will soon enough leave your brooding
care.
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Littlo ones in the nest

A Reprieve of Seven Months.

Death warrants were issued by Gen
Hartranft, on September 7, for the
hanging, on October 81, Of Thomas
Munley, James Carroll, James Boyle,
Hugh McGehen, and James Roarty, the
Molly Maguires who were found guilty
of murder in the first degree, and, on
September -, a similar warrant was
issued for the hanging of John r. Jones,
in Carbon Co., Pa. For each of these
men, except Thomas Munley, writs OF
error were taken out in the supreme
court, in Philadelphia, and were made
returnable next January. The escape
of the five Mollies is the result of the
special legislation resorted to, over six
years ago, for the purpose of saving the
neck of the notorious DIR. Schoeppe.
The bill, passed February 4, is as fol-
lows
"That in all cases of murder and vol
untary manslaughter writ of error
from the supreme court to the court try
ing the same shall be Of right, and to
be sued out upon the oath of the de-
PENDANTS or defendant as in civil cases.
In all cases of murder in the first de-
gree removed into the supreme cou
under the provisions of the first section
OF this act, or now pending in the said
court, it shall be the duty of the Judge
thereof, to review both the law and the
evidence, and to determine whether the
ingredients necessary to constitute MUIR
der in the first degree shall have been
found to exist, and if not SO proved then
to reverse the Judgment, and send the
same back for new trial, or to enter
such Judgment as the laws of the COM
monwealth shall require. All writs of
error now pending in the supreme court
in any case OF murder or voluntary man
slaughter shall be held regular and of
force, to remove any such cases, and to
authorize and require the supreme court
to hear and determine the same with
like effect as if sued after the passage of
this act"
Despite the veto Of Gov. Geary the
bill was made law by both branches
of the legislature. It was not effective
in Schoeppe's case, however, and it's
availability in behalf Of the Mollies,
though questioned by lawyers, cannot
prevent the delay of seven months in
the execution of their sentence. The
cases of Doyle and Kelly, who also took
advantage Of the writ, though conviction
took place in April last, have not yet
been disposed of.
