Mr.. Kuenster's hogs, from Glen

but few this year; they butchered
only l75 at his place one day last
week, of an average weight of Csc
pounds Mr. Kuenster started fol
the Fatherland on last Monday. May
he have happy journey. and a safe
return.
Not much wheat coming in this
winter. This is owing to three
principal causes First, poor crop
Second, poor roads third, little or
no competition. Prior buys nearly
all of it, and says he has room for lots
more. But our farmers are not salts
fed, because there is no competition.
Another firm for buying grain would
add much to the business interests of
Cassville.
Our school meeting came off last
week when we were to vote on the
question of establishing free hi gh
school under chapter 1928, laws OF
1875, and resulted in the discovery
that the meeting was not called ac-
cording to law, whereupon special
town meeting was held on yesterday
for the same purpose, and the friends
of free high school were defeated.
Our people are satisfied to be taxed
for the rest of the State to have high
schools, but, say they, we will keep

for fear they might climb up too high
on their high schools and then fall
and break their necks. S.

TEN PER CENT INTEREST.

When money is more remunera-
tive than real estate, the interests Of
the country suffer. The reason given
for allowing men in Tennessee ten
per cent was that it would bring cap
ital into the State. But no man can
invest in any character Of real estate
and realize ordinarily by the best
possible management more than five
per cent on his investment. AS long
as United States bonds are exempt
from taxation, National Banks can
realize thirty per cent. on capital,
and all money can bring ten per cent
by loaning it, the agricultural and
manufacturing interests will become.
more depressed, and the money pow
er will become greater. Wise states
mansbip mast prevail in our State
and National legislative bodies, or
we are a ruined people financially
ruined with the most productive and
abundant country on the face of the
globe.

Bank Robbers.

The New York Times says the
robbery of banks is now becoming a
regular trade and that the persons
who follow it are = evidently more
than a match for bank managers.
Something more is needed for the
protection Of valuable property in
these institutions than patent safes
and combination locks. The raid
upon the Northampton National
Bank will cause the ruin of many a
family, for bonds and other secuTi-
ties to the value of $670,090 were
stolen, and most of them were lodg-
ed on special deposit, SO that the
bank can not be held responsible for
them. The robbery was planned
and carried out in the most daring
manner, seven men having gone to
the house of the cashier, compelled
him to reveal the secret of the com
Dination, and then quietly emptied
the contents Of the safe at their lei>s-

a Romance Of Chicago.


A pale, thin woman, meanly clad,
was seen shivering on the doorstep
of fashionable mansion on Ashland
avenue. Her whole appearance be-
tokened poverty and misery. The
master of the house, comparative
ly young man, clad in q costly fur
overcoat, ran up the steps at the
same moment and gave the poor
creature q quarter, which she re-
ceived with profuse manifestations
of gratitude It seems romantic,
but It is a fact, that eleven years
ago that young woman lived in that
same mansion, the beautiful, accom-
plished, and idolized daughter Of
wealthy parents. Two suitors sought
her hand-one. was a fashionable
young man, the other the plumber
apprentice, who, while visiting her
fathers lordly mansion to thaw out
the water-pipes, saw and loved the
beauteous apparition. He preferred
his suit in a blunt, manly style, told
her that his time would soon be out,

and infatuated girl rejected his suit
and married the handsome young
man. with whom she set up house
keeping in costly mansion on Ash

ternatives of fortune! The plumber
rose steadily. became wealthy, and
purchased the family mansion when
the young husband was compelled,
through going short on No. 2 spring
at an inopportune moment, to sell
out his property. The young hus-
band took to drink, and finally was
buried in a pauper's grave, and last
evening his starving widow asked

A Glimpse Of Gem. Washington.

One other scene may properly be added
to this brief record of the struggles and
triumphs of old New York. There came a
sunshiny day in April, 1889, when George
Washington, President-electof of the United
States by the unanimous voice Of the peo-
pie, stood on balcony in front Of the
Senate Chamber in the old Federal Hall
on Wall street to take the oath of Office.
An immense multitude filed the streets.
and the windows and roofs of the adioin-
ing houses. Clad in a suitof dark brown
cloth of American manufacture, with hair
powdered and with white silk stockings.
silver shoe-buckles and steel-hilted dress
sword, the here who had led the colonies
to their Independence came modestlv
forward to take up the burdens that peace
had brought. Profound silence fell upon
the multitude as Washington responded
sslemnly to the reading of the oath of
office, 81 swear-so help me God" Then.
amid cheers, the display of flags, and the
ringing of all the bells in the CITY. our
first President turned 10 face the duties
his countrymen had imposed upon him.
In sight of those Yho would have made an
idol of him, Washington's first act was to
seek the aid of other strength than his
own. In the calm sunshine of that April
afternoon, fragrant with the presence of
seed-time and the promise of harvest, we
leave him on his knees in Old st. Paul's.

A Man Charges for Time Lost in At
tending His Brothers Funeral.

The Cincinnati Commercial says: DR.. F.
Glessner died from the effects of q fall
down fight of stairs about a year since.
while in the act of leaving the room of a
brother artist on Vine street, between
Fifth and Sixth. He was a very eccen-
tric character, and for many years lived
a retired life. He had few associates.
and, we believe, did not correspond with
or visit his only living relatives, two
brothers, who live in the northern part of
the State. His habits were very econom-
ical, and out of his earnings he had saved
quite neat little sum, part of which was in
vested in real estate in Columbiana county
and the remainder was found among his
personal effects, in a dingy room in the
Ohio Medical College, on Sixth street,
which he had occupied for many years.
After the death of DR.. Glessner a telegram
was sent to his two brothers Informing
them Of the sad event, and two days later
they arrived in the city and attended the
funeral.
An administrator was appointed by the
Probate Judge to settle up the affairs of
the deceased, and among other items pre-
sented was a bill of one of the brothers
amountingt to $47 so, itemized as follows
Travelling expenses to and from Cincin-
natl, hotel bills, ETC., $40; three days'
time, attending funeral, at So so a day,
81 so.
The administrator, having plenty of
funds and being aware of the fact that.
after all bills were paid, the remainder of
the estate was to be divided equally
between the brothers, paid the bill.

A Piece of Quaker Strategy.

In Scri5Her for February, in his "New
York in the Revolution" Mr.. John F..
Mines gives the following account of the
way Putnam escaped from Howe when
the British captured the city in 1176:
Neither soldier nor fugitive knew how
narrow had been the escape of Putnam's
army that day. When Sir William Howe,
accompanied by Clinton and Tryon, had
landed at Kip's Bay with the main body
of the British army, they struck across to
the Middle Road, intending to make their
camp on the heights of Inclenburg, mid
way between New York and Harlem.
They reached the road at a point just
opposite to where Putnam was stealing
along, under cover of the woods that
skirted the Hudson, to rejoin Washington.
There was a house near by, from whose
upper windows they might easily have dis
covered the dust stcreated by the rapid march
of the "rebels," and from its cupola the
CLEAN of bayonets would have been
plainly visible. The Americans were not
distant, indeed, but there was another and
more insidious foe near at hand. Close to
the Middle Road, at a point now desig
mated by the corporation as Fifth Avenue
and Thirty seventh street, stood the un-
pretentious but exceedingly comfortable
mansion of Robert Murray, a Quaker
merchant of approved loyalty to the
Crown, as well as of large wealth. For
tunately the shrewd merchant could not
control the feelings of his household, and
his wife and daughters were ardent pa
triOts. When Lord Howe and his staff
reached the edge of the Quaker's gardens
they were enraptured to find Mrs. Murray
and her beautiful daughters ready to greet
them with warm welcome. The parties
had once met in more peaceful days.
"William, " said the fair Quaker matron,
"will thee alight and refresh thyself at
our house2"
"Ithank you, Mrs. Murray" said the
pleasure-loving commander, "but must
first catch that rascally Yankee, Put
man,"
The Yankee General was not to be
caught this time, if woman's wit could
save him, even if the truth must be tor
tured into a shape that should deceive in
in order to save life. Very demurely the
lady rejoined, in that plain language of
her sect which always carries with 1t such
an emphasis of truth:
"Did'st thou not hear that Putnam
had gomez 1t is late to try to catch him.
Thee had better come in and dine"
The invitation was seconded by the
brightest smiles of the daughters, and
Howe wavered. Promising to pursue the
hated Yankees after he had dined, the
British commander alighted and entered
the house, where the fascinations of his
charming hostesses made him forget for
hours the object of his expedition. Put
nam meanwhile was flying up the road,
never daring to draw breath until he
caught sight of Washington's tents.
Thacher, in his military Journal, writes
that it became a common saying among
the American officers that Mrs. Murray
had saved Putnam's division.
