PROFIT OF SHEEp- There is probably
no stock on the farm that can be made
to pay better than sheep if they are
rightly managed. With less than a
pound of grain per day to each, in ad-
dition to good hay or roots in due
proportion, they thrive remarkably,
and gain in flesh aud wool at rate
that is often surprising. In addition
to this the manure is always source
of profit, especially as u renovator of
WORKOUT soils. We have known a
number of farms badly run down, that
have been effectually restored almost
entirely by sheep manure. If any of
our readers have land that is hard to
reclaim, we advise them to try this
method, and they will soon discover
the truth of the adage that the tread
of tie sheep is golden.

A CURIOUS CUSTOM AND IT'S ORIGIN.

~-~~--
Marriages en- chen,ise, says the Home
Journol, or in q white sheet, have from
tine to time been celebrated. The
following is an instance: " A few years
ago a handsome, well.dressed young
woman came to a church IN White
haven to he married to a man who was
there with the clergyman. When she's
had advanced little into the church,
nymph, her bridesmaid, began to un-
dress her, and by degrees stripped her
to the shift; thus was she led blooming
and unadorned to the altar, where the
marriage ceremony was performed. 1t
seems this droll wedding was occa-
stoned by an embarrassment In the af-
fairs of the intended husband, upon
which account the girl was advised to
do this, that he might be entitled to no
other marriage portion than her smock.
In his list of Various Vulgar En-
rors," Brand includes the following:
I" When man designs to marry wo-
man who is in debt, if he takes her
FROM the hands of the priest, clothed
only in her shift, it is supposed that he
will not be liable to engagement" OIL
this custom I have met with two exam
pies: "An extraordinary method was
adopted by brewers servant in Feb
ruary, 1923, to prevent his liability for
debts of Mrs. Britain, whom he in
tended to marry. The lady made her
appearance at the door Of the St.
Clement Danes, habited il her shift;
hence her i,amorata conveyed the mod
est fair to a neighboring apothecary's
where she was completely equipped
with clothing purchased by him; and in
these Mrs. Britain changed her name
at the church."
eat Ashton Church, in Lancashire, a
short time ago, woman was persuaded
that if she went to church naked her in
tended husband would not be burdened
with her debts, and she actually went
as bride like Mother Eve; but to the
honor of the clergyman, he refused the
damsel the honors of wedlock. In
Lincolnshire, between 1888 and 1874,
a woman was married enveloped in
sheet. And not many years back
similar marriage took place; the clergy
man finding nothing in the rubric about
the woman's dress, thought he could
not refuse to marry her in her chemise
only. George Walker. linen weaver,
and Mary Gee, of the George and ORA
Cos, on Gorton Green, widow, were
married at the ancient chapal close by,
on June 23d, 1888. She was in her
" shift" sleeves during the ceremony,
believing that would make her free from
her debts. -..

B1sHoprxa" HoRsRs. Rurat
World describes this fraud, which con-
sists in operating on the teeth of an
cid horse with . rasp or file, so as to
make them resemble the teeth of q
young horse. As the horse grows old
the gums shrink away, making the teeth
look long-one of the best evidences of
old age. The horses mouth is opened
and an instrument put in so he cannot
close it, and the head is tied up high
and the bishoper rasps down the teeth
to about the length Of those of young
horse. Sometimes the indentations in
the teeth ore also made 80 as to resem-
BILE those of horse six or seven years
old, and horses have even been by gov
ernmentinspectors, thus operated upon,
without detection. The name, we pre-
sumo, comes from a man by the name
of Bishop, who probably introduced the
practice. The operation is only carried
on in our large cities by sharpers.

UNINTENTIONAL CORRUPTION.
JUDICIAL KLEPTOMANIA.

Commend us to the Central Democratic
Committee of Indiana for original detini-
tons, the freshest of which heads this sen
tence. Our readers are generally familiar
with the "party trials" of our Democratic
brethren in Mr.. Hendricks Immediate
vicinity. Judge Petit, name that will
descend to posterity, with the other Demo
cratic nominees for the Supreme Bench of
that State were found to be too heavy a
load to carry in the State canvass, on
account of a number of pleasant little
weaknesses of which these reformed :
Indiana Judges had been guilty. Their
case was very similar to the recent per-
formances of the Democratic Registers i'll
the city of Baltimore, except that instead
of charging to State account baby wagons
and nursery furniture, they invested in
heavier perquisites, and such as We're more
in keeping with the " elevated - dignity of
their positions. Furniture, carpets, bed
ding, gold pens, toilet articles, travelling
bags, &C., were the judicial indispcnsables
maniacs and charged to State account.
The Central Committee asked "the Bench :"
to unload the ticket by the withdrawal of
their names, as the party managers did not
care to wash their soiled linen SO publicly.
This the Bench unanimously resolved not
to do. They denied that their perquisitcs
were excessive, or were such as were not
fully sanctioned by customary Democratic
usage in that State. The Committee, how
ever, insisted, since tie story acas ont, it
would be damaging to the party prospects.
To let the Bench down as easily as possible,
the astute Reform managers referred the
matter of new nominations to the several
judicial districts of the State, with the mild
and gentle explanation, that although the
acts of their nominees were such as honest
men could not endorse, still they were not
guilty of Intentional corruption. Hereafter,
in Indiana, stealing will be known as
unintentional peculation, which the
modern Reformers will doubtless accept as
perfectly satisfactory and do all in their
power to have the definition become gen
eral. Baltimore Ring Reformers need no
suggestion in the premises, their party"
vocabulary being already complete rs tie
numerous instances of political kleptomania
too well attest.

Carl SchITz.

When Carl ScLurz was lighting the
President and the Republican party, as
the result Of personal party differences the
Democratic Journals Of the country could
not too warmly commend the bollncss, cour-
age, and ability Of the man. In 1872, when
the Liberals met at Cincinnati and nom
mated Horace Greeley for The Presidency
and pinned to his Cpat-tail little caii on
which was inscribed the name Of Gra.Z
Brown Of Missouri, no mans name lent
more prestige to the nomination than that
of Carl SchuIz. which the national Demcc-
racy readily ratified at Baltimore, and bid
SchuIZ Gods speed. Notwithstanding the
active part taken by The eloquent German
in the 9 Bilallen' campaign in Ohio. the
Democrats nj St. Louis, hoping to " trim =
a platform acceptable to him and his hard
money friends and followers, still Ell er-
tanned great expectations OF Carl Schurz
IL the present campaign. Failing, how
ever to catch so desirable an advocate in
such political lily trap new that Schurz
arraigns the national Democracy as a fraud
and a cheat, leading Democratic journals,
with lily concealed modification and dis

Gov. Hayes Letter Of Acceptance.

We publish in full in this issue, GOV.
Hayes admirable letter, in which he ac-
cepts the nomination made at Cincinnati.
\ careful perusal of it cannot fail to i'm
press all candid readers with the.fact that
it is the production of an able, frank and
honest man. We have no doubt that 50
far as jingling phrases, meaningless plati
tudes, ard eloquent promises are concerned
the cunning lawyer and politician, Mr..
Samuel Jones Tilden, will soon give to
admiring " Performers elmer produc-
ton, over which Mr.. Morrissey growing
ecstatic, will deal fuller hand to the faith
full. Between it, however, even in advance
of its production, and the frank, straight
forward letter fresh from Gov. Hayes
hand, we can safely challenge comparison.
In bold and uneQuvocal language, not hav
ing the fear of domineering and corrupt
Congressman before his eyes, nor regarding
any improper influence either at Washing
ton or elsewhere, he denounces the present
civil service system, inaugurated under the
great archangel of modern Democracy,
Andrew Jackson, and from which, as an
open box of Pandora's ills, have sprung
innumerable political and administrative
evils, as an "intolerable burden,' and one
that requires thorough and radical reform.
Upon this subject he is even in advance of
the outspoken declarations promulgated at
Cincinnati demonstrating clearly that the
only remedy by which the original charac-
ter of the service can be restored, is to
make appointments to office solely upon
the ground of fitness and capacity, and
rendering every "of1icer secure in his ten
cure as long as his personal character re-
"mains untarnshed, and the performance
'of his duties satisfactory"
To his advanced views upon the import
ant subject of administrative reform he
gives additional force by the expression of
his unwilingness, should he be elected, to
accept second nomination. Upon the
question of the currency he stands upon
his record. What that is, is too well
known to require comment. Taken in its
entirety, we believe that this letter will
contribute largely to his reputation as a
bold and fearless statesman, and bring him
increased strength in every State Of the
Union
