parlor, and after giving her brief
account of his troubles, she departed
first bestowing a mammoth paper of
candies upon the young Mimpbleuf.
ThatnightSammie and Jennie were
taken suddenly ill from eating toe
much candy, and in the midst of his
sorrows The brilliant idea of sending
for Mrs. NJ. took such strong posses
sion of his mind tha the telegraphed
for her to come home Immediately.
She arrived the following day, and
had a hearty laugh at his misfor-

agement household matters soon as
sumed their former aspect, and Mr..

most patient Of husbands, never
being known to speak a cross word

Judge Grier and the Dred Scott de.
cisiOn.

This from friend in Union county
Pennsylvania:
The late Hon. Robt. G. Grier, Asso-
ciate Judge of the Supreme court OF
the United States, owned fine farm
adjoining the city of Williamsport.
Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia &
and Erie railroad bisected this farm
so as to render it undesirable, If not
Improbable for agricultural pur-
poses; but the growth of the city had
since then greatly enhanced the val
ue of the Judges farm, and to-day
every acre of it is valued at the rate
of city lots. Nevertheless, the Judge
claimed damages from the railroad
company for the land taken and for
other injuries. The jury being upon
the ground for the purposes of their
appointment, and accompanied by
the Judge, his attorneys, and the at
torneys for the railroad, pathetic
scene was enacted when the vener-
able and dignified Judge lamented
this ruthless invasion of his domain,
and that in his old age he must see
the land, almost sacred to him, de-
spoiled by an Unsuitable corporation
that has no regard even for the spot
of earth where in his youth he had
wooed and won his bride, and where
the happiest days of his life were
passed. And in his own forcible and
inimitable style, and with his head
resting upon the upper rail of the
fence, he exclaimed, "can 1t be posi-
BILE that a citizen ofPennsylvania has
no rights which are secure from the
grasp of these corporations?"
At this point G. w. Scates, Esq.
attorney for the corporation, archly,
and in apparent sympathy with the
Judge, replied, "No, my dear Judge,
no more rights now than the Dred
Scott decision gives to the niger"
Immediately the Judge dried his
tears, and with emphasis replied, Il
stand by the Dred Scott decision. >

1t is agreed upon all hands that the
President made decided hit in his
message to the House, i'm answer to the
Democratic impertinence. Ii is being
observed also that the President is pref
ty well read in the history of his coun-
try, and knows when he is on ground
made safe 10y established precedents.
The following, from the New York
Herdld's special, is an illustration:
The President has been during his
whole administration, very careful on
one point. He has never travelled out
of the boundaries of the United States.
During his visits to Niagara Falls he
las even refused to cross TO the Clifton
House. When visiting a friend at
Thousand Islands, he would not cross
to the Canada shore. When, in 1871,
he was present at the opening Of the
European and North American Rail-
road, he stopped at marlborough,
near the Canada line. He carefully re-
fused to cross even the little river. st.
Croix, which forms the boundary line
there. So far as is now remembered
here, there is but one instance of a
President of the United States going
into foreign country. Mr.. VanBu-
rem went TO Kingston, in Canada, in
1889, and he was much criticised for
his journey at the time.

Trouble Ahead.

An intelligent gentleman, familiar
with commercial matters, assures us
there will be dead loss of four dol
lars per head on every hog packed in
this city last winter. Many of the
banks hold pork paper which can not
be met at maturity, and the conse-
quences will be distressing. Hard as
the times are, the prospect is that
they will be infinitely harder within
thirty days.-IndiandpO Herald.

The Liquor Law.

There is too much of disposition
on the part Of many engaged in the
liquor business to pay no attention
to the law. There is no reason that
we could ever see why a saloon
/ should be made such a sink of pollu-
ton as many of them are. The law
places the sale of liquor in the man
ner that its sale is provided for on
the footing of legitimate business.
There is no reason why it should be
sunk so far beneath this as is so Of
ten done. The sale to minors, to
drunken men, to men in the habit Of
getting drunk, permitting gambling
and disorderly conduct, are all in
violation Of the law, and has the ef-
feet to degrade and debase the busi-
ness. All thinking men must admit
this at once, and yet so many men
who engage in the traffic give no
heed to these facts. If the law is
fairly and Justly administered in the
granting of license, not one man in
ten who has been engaged in the
business for any length of time could
get license. Why? Because nine
out of every ten pay scarcely any at
tention to the law. Let it be differ
ent. As long as the law is in force
let it be obeyed. The business
should be made more legitimate. 1t
is 60 the intsrest of all that it should.
The law contemplates that portion
of society has right to buy liquor.
Let liquor be sold only to them.
Keep it away from our boys. Do not
put the cup to the lips of the poor
man whose power OF self-control is
gone. The law prohibits it; human
ity lifts her voice against it. In the
name of your own children do not
do it. Raise the business to a high
er plane; remove the screens from
your doors, the paint from your win
dows, and let men see what you are
doing. When the liquor business is
in the hands of this class of men it's
influence for evil will be lessened.
These are the men that should have
license; none others should be en-
trusted with this franchise.-NOrth-
eI11 Illdi01lidn.
The IadiGnidn might have extend
ed its remarks upon the subject and
pointed out the duties of County
commissioners in granting or with
holding license. The law provides
that no habitual drunkard shall be
licensed to sell liquors. The man
who cannot govern his own appetite
is not the proper person to determine
who shall sell whisky. The man
who collects around him the drunk
ards of the neighborhood has no
right to be entrusted with the sale of
whisky. The present license law, il
strictly enforced would not be a very
bad law. Com missioners should be
governed by law, in granting licenses
as well as the liquor dealer and the
drunkard

The Country Gentleman advises
gardeners, after planting their beds,
to stick a small cross i'm each, to show
that it is planted. If they neglect to
do this, however, and forget whether
the beds are planted or not. a good
way to tell is to turn a stray cat into
the garden. If the beds are planted
that cat will proceed to race around
and dig into them, and act as IL il had
relatives in China whom it is anxious
to get at, while, if they are not. il will
sit down calmly in the path and seem
to be meditating on the progress Of
missionary work in America. A cats
instinct seldom deceives it in this
matter

Mr.. J. C. Birdsell says, one of the
most novel machines at the centennial,
is from Oregon, and is used for the pur-
pose of manufacturing cider. The ap-
pies are crushed into a fine pulp aad
thrown into watts and treated i'm q man.
ner similar to paper pulp. That ID. the
apple pulp is run upon cloths and then
over the warm rollers of a paper ma
king machine and comes out finally
just as paper does, firm, dry, and thin,
in acontinuous roll, or cut in sheets as
desired. 1t is, i'm short, sheets of APP
pie paper. When it is desired to have
pitcher of cider the pitcher is filed
with water, this paper is cut or torn
into small pieces and stirred in the
water where it dissolves in few min
utes and turns the water into pure,
fresh cider. The more apple paper used
the stronger the cider. and it is affect
ed by age and atmosphere, the same as
cider made in the usual way. What
won't the Yankee make next?-Sosdh

A Genuine Windfall.

About the biggest thing in the way
of windfall that has been chronicled
for lol these many days, has come to
light within the past few days in this
city. During the winter months Cobb
q Branham have had i'm their employ
man by the name Of d. A. Bruin,
who has engineered coal cart with
signal skill and ability. Bruin lived
on Yandes street with a wife and
three children, and has been in some
what straitened circumstances. Mr..
and Mrs. Bruin lived i'm the Lehigh
Valley, Pennsylvania, many years
ago, and nearly twenty years ago Mr..
Burns, the father of Mrs. Bruin, deed
ed her and her brothed a one thou
sandacre tract of mountain land,
which was then comparatively value
less, and was chiefly productive of
underbrush and rattlesnakes. The
Bruins moved West shortly after
this, at length finding a haven in In
dianapolis. The brother remained in
Pennsylvania, but at some distance
from his mountainous possessions,
and consequently knew but little
about it, though the taxes were pru-
IDENTIFY kept paid up, as it was expect
ed that the land might increase in
value. Not having the advantages Of
very extensive education, in fact
being meagerly endowed in this re-
gard, the brother and sister have not
carried on much of correspondence
nor kept a very close watch on their
property, being quite in ignorance OF
its value. Imagine, then, the sur
prise of the worthy Bruin and his
wife at receiving a call from a party
of Eastern capitalists, about ten
days ago, and an offer Of 5000, 900 for
ten years lease Of the aforesaid
tract. The cautious couple conceal
ed their feelings and asked the ad-
vice of friends upon the best course
to pursue in the matter. They were
advised to wait, and accordingly an
nounced that they would not at once
accept the offer. The men returned
East, and three or four days since an-
other set of capitalists from Pennsyl-
vania called upon them, and, after
the usual amount of dickering, pro-
posed to give 100000 for a ten years
lease of the ground, 100000 to be
paid on the 1st Of July next, and the
balance in nine annual payments.
This proposition was accepted, and
the gentlemen left for Nevada, to
look after other mining interests.
They will return in few days, and
the Bruins, accompanied by men,
ber OF the firm of Cobb e. Branham,
will go to Pennsylvania and close the
compact. Mr.. and Mrs. Bruin ARE
past the prime Of life, but bid fair to
live many years to enjoy their sud-
denly acquired wealth.

Judge Buskirk, in p lblished card,
denies having stolen from the State
the travelling satchels presented to
his daughter and niece, on the occa-
sion of their wedding tours, but al
leges he bought them of Braden &
Burford. His statement is corrobor-
ated by a card from b. & B. Had il
not been expressly stated that the
Judge bought the articles of b. & b.
we would naturally infer that they
were presents from that establish
ment. They have long been known
as a liberal" firm, and there is
scarcely county officer or ex-coun-
ty officer in the State that does not
hold a SOUVENIR of their good will in
the shape OF pocket knife, new hat,
baby wagon, jug of whisky, or some
such trinket. AS the Supreme Court
had dealings with them, it hardly
consists with their well-known gen.
erosity to charge Judge Buskirk for
the satchels. Why should they treat
Judge Buskirk with less considera-
ton than the county of1icers?-ht-

Work is worship, scorn it not.

That the crown OF sceptre brings;

Though the worldly great may scorn you,
Ye are men-what moro theys
Have they not the same Crestorl
Are they made Of finer cayl
'Tis by noble deeds alone
That a noble soul is known.
Let the voice of prayer and labor
Blend in harmonious chime;
Useful works are glorious anthems,
Toll is prayer fhe most sublime.
Though We suffer scorn and pain,
Think not that We live in vain.
HonOred be the earnest worker,
Blessed the rough, toil-hardened hand,
While the glorious hymn Of labor
Upward floats from wave TO land.
