The very best thing to give mean

A hornets sting is little thing, but
it sends the school-boy home bowling.
"A girl once sat on her lovers hat
and kept him three hours over time.
The next time that young man goes to
see his girl he should hang his hat on a
nail instead of holding it in his lap.
A lady, stepping into a railway car,
said to her little son: "Aren't you going
to kiss your mother before you go?"
The little rogue couldn't wait and called
out, Conductor, won't you kiss mother
for me?"
-"Do you think your father is going
to move out soon ?" inquired the owner
of rented house of the son of his ten
ant. "'Reckon so," was the reply, I'VE
have begun using the winder frames for
fre-wood."
"Father, did you ever have another
wife besides mother" "No, my boy (;
what possessed you to ask such a ques-
tion?' Because I saw in the old family
Bible that you married Anna Domini,
1886; and that isn't my mother, for her
name was Sally Smith,"
"A Kentucky dentist undertook to
plug one of the back teeth of favorite
mule. He bored and bored until the
drill struck something that seemed to
lift the animals soul right off its hinges.
That's the way the coroner explained it,

- A meek-eyed married man offered,
as test at a spiritual seance, that the
medium name the articles in his wife's
upper bureau drawer. The medium said
the spirit would repeat the contents of
Webster's dictionary or any other light
task, but that life was too short to at
tempt the task proposed, and the rash
proposer was hustled out of the hall.

= A sad story is related of a lady at a
party in London, whose dress and form
were faultless. Just before dinner an ad-
mirer offered her flower from his but
ton-hole, which she fastened to her dress
with pin. AS they went down to din
ner, the gentleman thought he heard a
noise as though wind were escaping from
bellows. The lady had soon lost her
fair proportions, and the tightly-ftting
dress was most baggy. It appears that
the latest fashion for thin ladies' dresses
is an air-tight lining blown out to the
proper size. The pin put to keep the
flower in had penetrated the air-tight
lining and had caused grand collapse.

To MEASURE LAND.-A progressive
farmer says the most simple way to meas
ure land is to take two stats about six
feet long, sharpen one end of each, lay
them upon floor like pair of open
compasses, 80 that the points shall be ex-
actly FIVE feet and six inches apart; now
nail the otheg two ends together and q
piece across the middle, so that it will
look like the letter A, and the measure is
finished. To measure land, place one
point at the starting place, and the other
also on the ground in straight line for
destination ;atand alongside the machine
with one hand on top of it; take one
step forward, Zip up the point that is be-
hind, swing it around from you) on the
other point ard set it in line also. A
person in this manner can measure cor
rectly as fast as he can walk. Three
spaces make g rod-walk straight with
out stopping, count the spaces, divide
these by three and you have the rods.

REMEDY FOR HOG CHoLERA.-I send
for publication to our paper remedy for
the cure of the "hog epidemic (feyer)
known as hog cholera. Safe and perfect
remedy in my hands for the last twelve
months, and as powerful in the contest
with the hog disease (fever) as was the
pebble which David used in his hostile
meeting with the uncircumcised defer of
Israel. Fp
Twenty grains of calomel for pig two
or three months old.
Thirty grains of calomel for pig four
months old.
Forty grains of calomel for pig ten
months old.
Sixty graius Of calomel for a pig fifteen
months old.
Plan of administering Take small
piece of meat, cut slit or pocket, cram
in the calomel, then stick the meat on
the end of sharp-pointed stick and hand
it to the hog. They will eat meat when too
sick to eat corn. If not we'll within
three days, repeat. In no case but one
have I had to repeat, out of more than
fifty trials.

PLANTING SWEET PoTAToEs.-I often
hear complaint from farmers that it is
difficult to find 81 ,sons suitable for plant.
ing out sweet potato slips, and as the
whole farming community will plant out
slips about this time, I will give my
method, which never fails. When my
slips are large enough to plant, 1 do not
wait for rain, but bed up the ground in
the evening, 80 as to have the fresh
turned earth to put the slips in. l first
prepare puddle of equal parts of fresh
cow dung, clay and swamp muck, made
to about the consistency of cream, and
as fast as draw the slips, dip them into
the puddle ami plant out. Plants thus
treated will grow off without rain, if the
ground has any moisture in it.

A GooD USE OF P's.-One of Our ex-
changes indulges in the use Of P's to ex-
press what it may be healthful to all sub
scribers to newspapers to read, mediate
and inwardly digest. It says: "Persons
who patronize papers should pay prompt
ly, for the pecuniary prospects of the
press have peculiar power in pushing
forward public prosperity. If the printer
is paid promptly and his pocket book
kept plethoric by prompt-paying patrons,
he puts his pen to paper in peace; cs !, ne ?.s
bis PAPER is of more pleasure to his peo-
pie. Paste this piece of proverbia' phil
osophy in some place where all persons
can perceive it. Be pleased also to pom
der upon it thyself patiently and perse-
yeringly and proftably, and persistently
practice its precepts perpetually."

MILLIONS IN SHEEP.-A successful
wool grower of Barbour county, Ala,
writes to the Cultivator that he feeds his
large flock of sheep during winter on
China a-berries, and finds that it prevents
shedding of wool. He says: From my
experience, our worn-out lands here in
Barbour county will pay the owner q
greater per cent. on the money invested
than the fertile lands of the West and
the blue grass regions of Kentucky, if he
will only stick a China-berry tree in eve
ry gully, and keep two or three sheep to
every tree. The sheep will then gather
the berries themselves as they fall from
the tree, at the same time the roots Of the
tree will stop the gully from growing
larger, aud the sheep will tread in the
sides and cause it to fill up. There is no
sweeter or more palatable dish than NUT
ton, and there is ready sale for wool or
mutton. Mr.. Editor, a flock of sheep is
as good as bank account, paying heavy
dividends three times year; first, the
wool comes in April to help the farmer
along; second, the mutton in the sum.

The New Party Movement.

Talk of new party is revived on many
sides. AS it all comes from one party, it
shows that that one is in its own opinion
not in good form. With this talk the
Eagle has had little to do. Newspapers
do no not make or unmake parties.
The obituaries of parties in newspapers
nearly always fail to find the corpse
ready. Parties grow out of public ex-
igencies or die because they miss or mis-
conceive them. The Republican organs
have Killed and buried the Democratic
party every six months for seventeen
years. That organization is, however,
indestructible, for it is founded on prin-
ciples which are permanent, uniform and
universal. They mast last aslong as hui
man nature endure. The opposition to
the sway of these principles is only a
proof of the raw fl>7elopment of society
or of the inferior of Democrats to the
full duty of the only true principle they
have in custody. Society improves and
Democracy comes to power. Democrats
fail to rise to the \full measure of their
principles, and they go out Of power
while new men are voted in to administer
on the same principles in another name.
These men themselves fail in turn, and
back come the Democrats bettered by
adversely.
Democracy has given the union all the
good government it ever had at whose
ever hands it came. Bad government
has resulted from infdelity to Democ-
racy, whether by Republicans or Demo
Gratis, for in Democracy, or in the prin-
ciple that government is made for man
and not man for government, resides the
potentiality of all the. welfare which can
come from political sourcessto organized
society. While Democrats have erred
and lost in this country, Democracy
never has, The opposition to it has
known many names and some triumphs,
but all of them have been brief, and they
have. all had to be made tolerable by the
recourse to Democratic principles by
those who call themselves by another
title. The party which is for few and
precise powers, for local selfgovernment,
for liberty regulated by law, for the full
est trust in and largest freedom for the
individual, and For the limitation of the
general government to the sphere of its
delegated duties alone, exists in all lands /;
is everywhere the party of rational pro-
gress and orderly liberty, of home rights
and of personal rights, and is called
Democratic here.

Party

Far back in the remote ages, from Ar.
istotle and Plato, down to Locke, Milton,
Montesquieu and the illustrious fathers
of 1776, the great problem has been agi-
tated: How shall free and just govern
ment be established and maintained
among men? And the answer is, by
power holding power in check. I'm
checked power in government, under
whatever guise or name, is despotism.
Every people having interests peculiar to
themselves, must have the power of pro-
tecting them. If they have not, they do
not rule themselves, but are ruled in
a state of political subsection. Here was
the mighty rock on which the Democratic
party raised its noble ramparts for lib
erty; and the great principles of free
government on which this party is found
ed, like the ten commandments in morals,
stand to-day solid and unshaken, for the
craftsmanship of the future. At this
time there are millions in the United
States who cherish these principles-who
place their hopes on them, and will re-
spond to the party organization, honestly
aiming to enforce them.
From the beginning of the Union, the
contest arose between restricted and a
consolidated government-af free govern
ment and a despotism. Through the
long struggle of seventy years, in measure
after measure, many Democrats, chiefly
at the North, went over to the consoli-
dationists-enemies to the party in all
but name; and the South tried to save
herself by retiring from the foul despot-
ism of consolidation.
Now, by the experience in which we
exist all men can see the inevitable fate
of every free government abandoning the
principles of the Democratic party.
Men may change in upholding them.
Men may abandon them. But they live
in the breasts of the people, as the true
and only principles Of liberty. Despot-
ism and tyranny only concentrate purer
vitality. The primary principles of the
Democratic party are undying and I'M
changeable. Its adherents are to-day a
majority of the voters of the country.
Bringing its principles again undefled
into the politics of the United States, it
must rise up to the restoration of the Fed
eral Government to free government
or revolutionary darkness, the sure Sc
quencc of central despotism, must spread
over the land. There is no other means
of salvation.-JournaS Of Commerce.

A NEW USE FOR RAMIE.-The Ramie,
Of whose superseding cotton there was so
much talk fifteen years ago, was never
utilized in that way, owing to the lack OF
machinery to prepare the stalks; but Mr..
Peabody, in the Southern Planter, says he
has found that it is an excellent and
easily raised forage for horses and COWS.
They eat it with avidity. 1t can be cut
at least dozen times in the season,
grows from the root without re-
planting year after year, and fourishes
on poor soil. The seed can be procured,
we suppose, at the Patent Office.
