THE WHISKY PROSECUTIONS.

The President, who has been very
much exercised over the revelations
contained in the testimony Of Bluford
Wilson relative to the manner in which
the prosecutions were conducted against
members of the whisky ring, has just
completed arrangements for strategic
move which he hopes will divert criti-
cism from himself and attach to him
some little credit as reformer. It will
be remembered that in neatly every city
where the CROOKED" had its ramifica-
tions scores of weakened offenders
took occasion to plead their guilt, in.
dulging the hope that their unsolicited
confession would make things go easy
with them. In q majority of instances
their anticipations were realized, and
many who pleaded guilty remain o.dsy
unpunished. 1t is now proposed to put
this class OF offenders on the rack, and
Emory StoIrs, of Chicago, has bsen en-
ployed on behalf the gOvernme MT to do
the work. He has been directed by the
President to proceed to Chicago, st.
Louis, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and
Peoria, Illinois, and demand the
sentence of all who pleaded guilty
AID remain unsentenced. His iHstruc-
tons are also to demand, on behalf
OF the United States, that all who CLAIM"
immunity for giving testimony as con-
fedsrates shall be brought into open
court, and unless in each case they can
show c0nclusivsly that immunity was
granted them by proper officer of the
government, he is to insist also upon the
sentence OF such as have stood trials,
and 70 enter motion for the trial Of such
as have Eot been tried. This move will,
no doubt, create considerable consterna-
ton in the breasts Of those affected by 1t,
who have hoped that, with Mr. Bristow
retired to the shades Of private life, their
derelictions would be overlooked.

coupons after 1879 will be paid, and cou.

The second consolidated mortgage

Barn Cellars.

A barn without cellar is only half barn
and the farmer who don't feel the need of a
ecllar under his barn or whose system OF
farming does not require It is not more than
half farmer. To be sure he can grow some
roots aud put them IN pits to which can resor,
day after day through winter in snow and
rain. We have seen farmers DO this and
some manage in this way for years, but it is
no way TO do. 1t is better and cheaper to
have good barn cellar, frost. proof and am
pie in dimensions TO contain ruabagas, su.
garbeots and pumpkins for COWS the winter
through. Many II farmer can date the be-
ginning of his prosperity in business TO the
building of a barn cellar When he has a
place TO store roots he will grow roots, and
the feeding ofroots in some way starts things
agoing on the farm in the right course.
Animals grow faster, grain is saved, hay is
saved, the coarse provender is worked up
and all made into manure. Why, the Guanti-
~ of tine latter is doubled. Crops are better,
things brighten up, money is plentier-sim-
ply because there is more TO exchange for it
and more to turn off all the while-all this
coming naturally from having barn cellar
There are other advantages which good
cellar under barn brings which need not be
referred to here. Cellars may be built in
winter under barns already up.--Detyoit Tri.

The Average Parlor

There are parlors belonging to rich men
who are tao sons Of rich men, who have been
educated carefully, and who have travelled
and seen all there is 10 be seen of splendid
and beautiful, and yet, though their rooms
are full Of the external evidences of wealth
and travel, the things seem unhappy; the
colors all swear at one another" as the
French artistic slang has it; the chairs and
tables, like people too early at a country par.
~, are waiting tor an Introduction, and the
Taste, II taste il may be called, IN the pictures
and Dric.a-brac, is SO dlscordant that if the
owner really likes onchalf of them we can
not see how he should be able to tolerate the
other. Os course, it IS not fair always to
judge the owner OF one Of these multiturlous
drawing.rooms by what he puts forward as
his own taste. In nine cases out of ten 1t is
not his taste at all, but the taste of the town,
and he meekly puts himself in the hands of
the fashionable turnisher, We might as well
lay the charge OF the theatrical, vulgar para
phernalia of a firstClasS funeral at the door
OF dead man upon whose unresisting body
all the hideous floral emblcms" are piled
The fashionable undertaken sits on him when
dead, as the fashionable furnishcr sat on him
when alive. We cannot judge OF his taste
until he shows it. until he take his house into
his own hands and makes it to his mind. 1t
IS to persuade people to do this that these pa
pcrs are written, but the writer is not very
hopeful of persuading any but young Ieople
and those who have Il natural independence.
Rich people are for the most part SO bullied
by their money, they don dare to do what
they would like. And people who are well
on in life do not, is a rule, take enough in
tercst in the subject. They find the old shoes
easier to their feet--Ctnreace Cock In Scyibncr
