Some Of our nimble-f eeted youth
have been going to Dayton for the
pleasure of skating, which is repre-
sented as first-class, the ice being
about six inches thick; the best To-
cality being short distance above
town. Our "deviln and Holmes
were there, and say the girls are too
pretty and funny in their sly re-
marks. Their EXPLANATIONS when
they fall down are invariably, "How
cold the ice isw Owing to dis
astrous faux paux on the part of
Holmes, he sat down with fearful
velocity. Being in close proximity to
a bevy of angels, he thought it good
policy to rest awhile, but "the ice
was so very coldr Two ladies (un-
doubleday they were ladies' sailed
past, and one, casting a side glance
at Holmes, remarked to her partner
"Marial Maria! Good gracious look
at that gentleman sitting on his
pocket handkerchief"

SAN SING Va. Her SIMEON
Thursday night the Chinese blood
became heated to q lighting pitch,
and two fighting men Of the Sam
Sing Company fired from that store
upon All Fung, Hop Sing man,
wounding him dangerously in two
places, one ball striking him in the
shoulder and the other in the back,
from which he is hardly expected to
live. Chief White and Harry Nc
Csusland were standing near, bst
were so blinded by the flash of the
pistols that the would-be murderers
escaped by some of their dark by
ways. Warrants have been sworn
out, and it is to be hoped they may be
arrested and punished, for this thing
is really becoming monotonous.

was arrested yesterday for mis-
demeanor, upon complaint of Gov.
Adams, who alleges that he made
an application yesterday to examine
the stock ledger of the Company
and was refused. In the Police
Court this morning, counsel for de-
tense asserted that the books of the
Company were being used in max.
ing up stock lists and said this was
the cause of the refusal, and desires
continuance of the case. The
Court was willing to grant con-
tlnuance II tho defense would fix
some hour when tho complainant
could examine the books, but coun-
sci declined to move any such
agreement, whereupon the Court
said the trial would have to proceed
when the defense demanded a jury
trial.

Esnic properties must be converted
into the organic, which may be done
by the use Of clover and the grasses,
used for pasturage, and by supplying
the vegetable mold In the form of
manures, etc.
The portions Of the farm contigu-
GUS to the barnyard are more easily
kept In productive state than the
outlsying portions, The washings
of the feed lots, the droppings Of the
domestic animals during certain por-
tions of the year, and the effects of
the pastures for the stock, which are
apt to be located In the vicinity Of
the farm house, all tend to keep up
the fertility OF the soil TO this limited
extent. so that the manure should be
applied upon the extreme portions
OF the farm, that one part may not
remain In good heart at the expense
Of any other portion. Our farmers
must not rest upon the results OF the
past, for, "a has always been seen by
experienced farmers, large crops will
not continue forever. Because our
fertile prairies have cousented 10
send abundant returns 40 many
years, il does not follow that they
will continue to do so forever. The

produce the perfect articles Of COM

How wise are we In thought--how

Solitude, though it may be silent

King and priests, warriors and maid

solitude, therefore, which in this

the echo Of far deeper solitude,
through which already, we have
passed off another solitude, deeper
still, through which we have to pass

Farmers Boys.
Register


DO not be discouraged II your par
ents are poor, and not able to give
you all you want. Daniel Webster,
In early life, was poor boy on q
poor farm. Henry Clay road poor
old gray mare to mill with grist TO
feed the family Of his widowed
mother. Douglass was born and In
herited poverty. Lincoln cut wood
and split rails in early manhood.
Henry Wilson was born In poverty,
want sitting by his cradle. From
ten years of age until twenty-one he
worked for yoke OF oxen and six
sheep. Quail not at poverty. II is
q good place to begin. Look up.
Aim higher. Earn and expect bet
ter things. There are plenty Of
ladders to climb, and II can be done
easiest without encumbranee. Near.
ly every great or good man In Iowa
by necessity went barefoot and wore
patched breaches in early life. The
log cabin in the valley is a better
place TO begin the race of life than
the palace on the hill. The world
needs good men, and 10 seeking
them every year. True merit never
goes unnoticed or unrewarded.
Book learning and practical knowl-
edge have to be happily combined to
make the successful man. Seek
knowledge. Stand perpendicular.
Never listen to prevarication for
convenience or for success. Any
end accomplished by deceit or dis
honesty Is only temporary and delu-
sive. Let every boy resolve at once
to DO honest and upright, no matter
how fortune may smile or frown.
Follow the footsteps Of other great
men from poverty to the lofty posi-
lions they have occupied in the
hearts OF their countrymen aud the
world.
II the boys who are now growing
up around US are to legislate for the
twentieth century, they should early
dedicate themselves to truth and
honor. II they are to DO farmers,
road -masters, school trustees, legis-
lators, judges, or governors, they
should early learn the difference be-
tween money making and money
Stealing. Cultivate, then, a keen
sense of integrity, and determine
through life, whatever may betide,
the right to approve, and, the wrong
to condemn. In no case either In
earnest or joke, make light Of virtue
or excuse or palliate vice or immor-
Atty. Stand by the right, and be
able in any company to look an hon
est man in the eye. DO these
things, and you will be happy and
the world better by the influence OF
your example.
