One morning last week a dis
tinguished East Hill lawyer might
have been seen chasing a squad of
little negroes up a lane through
mud a foot thick. He had to 60
back home and put on his Sunday
breeches, and the jury that day
thought he was putting on 700 much
style, and for that reason hung a
negro he was defending.

LYNNVILLE.

The last week has wrought a
change which has been a most un
welcome one to every person in
town. Mr.. Hart of Lincoln, who
has been with as for four years, has
moved to Columbia. The cultiva-
ton and refinement of Miss Jennie
Beatty, and the lovely christian char
acter of Mrs. Hart, have won uni
versal esteem and admiration. A
few weeks ago there was a probabil-
ity that Mr.. Gale Thomas would
move near Franklin, and 90 into
the stock business with Col. John
son. but we are glad to say he has
found it more to his interest to
remain.
BUSINESS.
The prices of goods at this place
are such as must eventually attract
custom and make this more i'm
portrait business center than it has
ever been. The merchants have
started out with this end in view, and
are likely to attain it. It is true
that three stores and three of the
best dwelling places in town are
now vacant, but on the principle
of the survival of the fittest," we
suppose that those that weather
this pecuniary storm will come out
of it all the stronger, (stronger J
Butter, eggs, and such small deer

CHANGERS.
This charitable and affectionate
body gave themselves dinner on
the Goth. Although we accidental
" happened around almost the
hour, we failed to secure a bid. It
is Fanny Fern who speaks of the
way of rooster that has found a
worm. He make fuss and cluck-
over it till all the family are assem-

self. Such treatment tempts us to
put in a petition for reception into
the order, that we too may have a
piece.
MISCELLANEOUS.
We fear that during the last few
months drinking has largely in
creased at this point. The bottoms
of the roads are going into their
regular winter quarters, deep under

corn are not coming in. Mr.. Joe.

and also Maj. NJ. Childress. On
Saturday we had a visit from Mr..

West Point when the war began, and

Tributes TO Senator Morton.

At ratification meeting held in
Pixies Opera House, Cincinnati, most
of the distinguished speakers took occa-
sion to speak of Governor Morton in
glowing terms.
General Hawley, of Connecticut,
said !
AS to the history of Oliver F. Nor
ton, it need not be told to gentlemen
who live upon the borders of Indiana
lApplausel. No one this side of heav-
EN- knows the debt OF gratitude this
country owes to that man for the in
domitable courage with which he throt-
tied rebellion in that State" Renew

Hon. Theodore M. PomerOy, of New
York, who was temporary chairman of
the convention, said: aej-
"Why, take that gifted statesman of
Indiana, Oliver II. Morton. Applausel
My personal acquaintance with him is
but slight; but, tell you, if there is a
man that lives on American soil to
whom the people of the United States
owe tribute greater than that which
they owe to any man outside of Lincoln
and his Cabinet, and the leading Gen
erals in the field, it is Oliver p. Nor
ton, of Indiana. If there is man that
| love for his fidelity to Ameaican prin-
ciplpe, and to the cause for which we
have organized our party, it is Oliver p,
Morton [applausel, and the man does
not live on American soil that can
show in his personal history as bright
a record as that of Oliver p. Morton.
While, during the years of 1868 and
1864, he held Indiana in the Union
with one hand, in spite of the Sons of
Liberty organized behind him, with the
other he held Kentucky in the Union,
and between the two prevented revOlu
ton in Southern Ohio and Southern
Illinois. Loud applause.l More than
that, during all those two years, with
hostile Legislature, with hostile State
officers, with treasury locked against
him, he, by his own personal resources,
raised the money to pay his troops and
keep his soldiers in the field. There is
not case like it, | say, among all pub
lie men of these United States, and he
will have, while live, my admiration
for all that he has done.n

tatiye men of other States.

In all successful culture, wedding
will follow closely upon planting and
sowing. All work for the destruction
of weeds ought to be done, except in
small gardens, by horsepower where it
is possible else the expense of crop
will be greatly increased. One fact
needs to be frequently repeated. that. is
If weeds are destroyed as soon Is they
appear, or even Just before they reach
the surface, great amount of labor is
saved; the cost OF running a cultivator
between the rows in large garden
once or twice week, is considerable.
but after the weeds have once attained
much size the cost of hand wedding
will be more than double. The aim in
growing any crop should be to have it
carefully cultivated, which IN most
cases makes the difference between loss
or gain in the raising. Provide for
succession crops of vegetables by SOW
ing from time to time; there need be no
week during the season when there
will not be good selection of vegeta-
bles to choose from. Most farmers
make one job of planting their gardens,
so that when the first lettuce, peas,
sweet corn, etc, are past, there is
nothing to follow them Successive
crops of many kinds do well if planted
even as late as July, ari we remember
sowing early beets as late as the 4th of
July, and had excellent winter roots.

Washington Letter TO St Louis Republican
William Pitt Fessenden, in the zenith
of his power and fame, was sold for
$4,000, through most ingenious
scheme and by most daring operator.
Senator Morton was quietly conveyed
and made over for $1,000 Mr.. Charles
Foster of Ohio, was knocked down by
a shrewd auctioneer to an innocent
pr chaser for 81 900. Sam Cox was re-
tailed at the same price. And on an
other occasion, the most hdicrous of
all, "a sharp hummer sold the invincible
Holman for $500. ..fau- rrv
Holman is celebrated as the univer-
| sal objectioner. He objects to every
thing, and particularly to all private
bills. Three years ago a man was here
with a claim for additional compensa-
tion or relief for carrying mails. The
bill had gone through the committee,
and was in fact, a fair square bill. and
the man deserved relief But blood
sucker happened to get wind of it just
before it was reported to the House.
He HE'D to the room of the claimant,
who was all IMMERSED in the wicked
ways of Washington. The bloodsuck-
er told him there was member from
Indiana who had determined to object.
1t was near the close of the session and
an objection would carry the bill over.
The claimant wanted his money. The
blOodsucker assured him that nobody
but himself could control the member
from Indiana and that it would take
money to control him at that. The
claimant was ignorant and the blood
sucker adroit- Consequently five per
cent of the claim. amounting TO near
ly 81, Hoo was paid to the blOodsucker
1 to control" Holman. Probably Hol-
man never would have noticed the
claim at all. And it afterward trans
pired that the congressman who had it
in charge, a Missourian, had explained
it all to him and he had agreed to let it
go through. But the bloodsucker did
not know this. So he employed con-
federate-a woman-and just as this
bill was reached on the calendar, the
woman called Holman out by card and
detained him with some imaginative
gossip for fifteen or twenty minutes,
and by that time the thing was done.
Holman had been successfully sold.
And Holman knew no more about it
than he did what was going on at the
town Of Seattle i'm Washington terrific

Historic Scraps.


To weaken the support which the
treaty WAS known to derive from the
Presidents personal popularity, his
merits as soldier and statesman were
disparaged. His private character did
not escape detraction. lie was accused
of having overdrawn the amount of his
salary and appropriated the money to
his private use. In authorizing the
negotiation of treaty withoutprevions-
ly consulting the Senate he had viola
ted the Constitution, for which he
ought to be impeached.'
What President is this? the reader
will inquire. Is it Grant, No, it is
George Washington to whom the above,
quoted from Ioang's political history.
refers.
1.-The man who is the source of all
the misfortune of our country is this
day reduced To level with his fellow
citizens, and is no longer possessed of
power TO multiply evils upon the Uni
ted States. If ever there was period
for rejoicing, this is the moment. Ev-
cry heart in unison with the freedom
and happiness of the people ought to
beat high with exultation that the
name of Washington from this day
ceases to give currency to political in
EQUITY and legalized corruption. Ne
farious projects can no longer be sup
ported by name. 1t is subject of
the greatest establishment that single
individual should have carried his de-
signs against the public so far as to
have put into jeopardy its very exis-
istence. Such, however, are the facts,
and with these staring us in the face
this day ought to- be jubilee in the
United States.''
Surely this must be President Grant
the reader will say; but no, it can't he
Grant. He is in Office yet. Was it
Abraham Lincoln No, we reply. 1t
was George Washington, receiving
parting shot from a Democratic SANDER
mill of that day.

ON PACKING FLOWERS

Always cut the flowers early, in the
cool of the morning, and when in their
prime. Taxi a piece of COTTONWOOD,
wet it, and wiring it out, then twist-it
about the stalk. If tin boxes are used,
they must not have sharp corners, or
they WI be rejected at the Post Office.
butwhen properly made they excel all
others for the purpose in question. At

then lay the flowers carefully placing

each, 70 prevent their crushing each

The Signing of the Declaration.


The Declaration, being adopted, was
next to be signed; and here again we
come upon an equally hopeless contra
diction in testimony. This same Thorn
as Mexican wrote in 1914 TO. ex-Presi-
dent Adams, speaking of the Declara-
tion of Independence. mo man signed
it on that day, namely, July 1, 1776.
Jefferson, on the other hand. writing
some years later, thought that Mr..
McKeans memory had deceived him,
Jefferson himself asserting, from
his early notes, that THE Declar-
alton was reported by the Com
mittee, agreed to by the House,
ard signed by every member present ex-
cept Mr. Dickinson" But jefferson,
who was also an octogenarian, seems
to have forgotten the subsequent sign
ing of the Declaration parchment, I'M
I'll it was recalled to his memory, as he
states, a few years later. If there was
a previous signing of a written docu-
ment, the manuscript itself has long
since Disappeared; and the accepted
historic opinion is that both these vene-
rable witnesses are mistaken; that the
original Declaration was signed only by
the President and Secretary John Han
cock and Charles Thomson; and that
the general signing of the parchment
copy took place on August 2nd. It is
probable, at least, that fifty-four of the
iifty-six names were appended on that
day and that it was afterward signed
by Thornton, of New hampshire, who
was not then a member, and by
Nc. Kean, who was then temporarily
absent.
jefferson used TO relate, with much
merriment, says Parton, that the fl
nal signing of the Declaration was has
tened by very trivial circumstance.
Near the hall was large stable, whence
the flies issued in legions. Gentlemen
were in those days peculiarly sensitive
to such discomforts by reason of silk
stockings and when this annoyance,
superadded to the summer heat of Phil
adelphia, had become intolerable, they
FASTENED to bring the business to con
clusion- This may equally well refer,
however, to the original vote; flies are
flies, whether in July or August.
American tradition has chung to the
phrases assigned to the different partic-
ipants in this scene: John Hancock's
commentary on his own handwriting,
''Therel John Bull may read my name
without spectacles :" Franklin's, 1--WE
must hang together, or else. most assur-
edly, we shall all hang separately -
and the heavy Harrison's remarks to
the slender Elbridge Gerry, that, in
that event. Gerry would be kicking in
the air long after his own fate would
be settled. These things may or may
not have been said; bnt it gives
more human interest to the event.
when we know that they were even
attributed. What we long to know is,
that the great acts of history were done
by men like ourselves, and not by dig

Graud Rapids, Mitch, Journal.
: Hon, Schuyler Colfax worked as a
public man twenty years, FOR his aboard
and clothes, and having set up in bus
mess for himself makes $4,000 in one
Lecture season without the aid of any
agent or bureau. We are glad of it.
He deserves all he has won and more
too. 1t is perfectly safe to say he is
the most popular public speaker i'm
America, and that he has talked to
more people i'm the last twenty-five
years than any man on the continent
or for that matter-on the face of the
globe. He has lately again refused to
allow his name to go before the people
as candidate for Congress. He has
had all the Congress that he wants, and
having served the people long and web,
prefers now the sovereignty of private
life. The men who will persistently re-
fuse Congressional honors are few.
but Schuyler Colfax is one of them.
