Signs of Rain.

A very intelligent correspondent
says: "To the careful and experienced
observer there will appear many signs
of the approach of rain, unnoticed by
the casual observer, and taking in the
aggregate of signs will be almost certain
index to the coming change. Without
any intention of occupying valuable
space by merely speculative signs of
rain, propose to give an infalliblc one

To Make Cows Give Milk.

A writer who says his COW gives all the
milk that is wanted in a family Of eight
persons and from which was made 200
pounds Of butter in the year, gives the
following as tho treatment. He saysl:
If you desire to get a large yield Of
rich milk, give your COW, three times a
day, water slightly warm, slightly sailed,
in which brand has been stirred, at the
rate of one quart to two gallons of wa
ter. You will find, if you have not
found this by daily practice, that your
COW will gain twenty-five per cent. i'm
medately under the effect Of it, She
will become so attached to the dict as to
refuse to drink clear water unless very
thirsty, but this mess she will eat almost
any time, and ask for more. The amount
Of this is an ordinary water pail full each
time, morning, noon and night. Your
animal will then do her best at discount

Of butter is often obtained from good
stock, and instances are mentioned where
the yield was even at u higher figure.

WHEN A MAN COMES HOME.

WHEN A MAN COMES HOM]
When man comes home,
Don't begin TO wrangle;
Better far to sleep
In the hungry deep
Meath white sheets of foam,
And of sea-weed tangle.
Peace, peace, peace;
Cease, cease, cease.
When II man comes home,
Don't begin to wrangle.
When man comes home,
Let him enter smiling;
Take the children sweet,
Playing round his feet;
Throw off grief and gloom,
And the worlds bsguiling.
Peace, peace, peace;
Cease, cease, cease.
When man comes home,
Let him find all smiling.
When man comes home,
He should still remember
IT'S not always May,
Either work or play
Sure as June will come
There will come December.
Peace, peace, pence;
Cease, cease, cease.
Evening brings all home,
And sunshine in December.

What strange things are being brought

What strange things are being brought
around by the whirligig of time. The all
powerful Republican party of a few years
ago, that ruled the country with despotc
power, that rode over the Constitution,
made and unmade Supreme Courts, and
held itself accountable to no tribunal, is
about to be shorn of the last vestige Of
its power-the control of the Senate of
the United States. The Democrats can
very soon, if not at once, control that
body. Morton is stricken by palsy, Pat
terson indicted and almost fugitive from
justice, Spencer in the Black Hills, Sharon
and Jones too busy in looking after their
minerals to come to Washington. 1t is
said that Newton Booth of California will
act independently, and that Conover of
Florida is in revolt. With Morton, Spen-
Ger and Patterson not voting, and Booth,
| Conover, Dorsey and the new Senator
| Davis voting with the Democrats, the
senate would stand thirty three Repnbli-
cans to thirty-seven opposition at the
opening, while the opposition vote would
be increased to forty by the admission of
the three Democratic applicants from
Louisiana and South Carolina. Who
would have dared hope for such a result
a few years ago?

VIM b Gilman, the New York torger,
made confession in court Friday. He
attempted to excuse his crime by stating
that although he knew he was running
behind and that his investments turned
out badly, yet he kept on, hoping that
times would be better and that his in
vestments would prove more profitable
and enable him to meet his liabilities
He admitted that he was eXtravaglnt
in his personal expenses, buv said that
he loved better to give away money than
to spend it upon himself. Liberality in
giving is cOmmendable provided the
money belongs to the man who gives it,
but if it belongs to others, he is no better
than thief, and such disposal of the
plumber is no excuse for the crime
Gilman was sentenced to five Years i'm
prisOnment.

He took the dose and soon began to feel
queer, and was fast sinking away, when
one of the druggists, who had learned the
blunder, arrived with four doctors, and
by injecting antidotes and by showing,

about for ten hours, they succeeded in
fighting off the deadly stupor. AS it was,

his health is permanently injured. He

The Lewiston Journal don't believe that
horse racing, and the congregation of
jockeys, are necessary to the success of
agricultural fairs. 1t says-It is an in

for two years, without a single horse race,
which shows at least that, however much
an honest and fair race may contribute
to the interest of an agricultural show

Perhaps our contemporary "once knew
great many men, and a great variety of
facts; but he seems to have possessed a
great alacrity at losing his hold of the
facts, Judging by the perplexed and be-
wildeled way in which he treats straight
forward matter We asked for eXplana-

ceeds to say that he once knew man
who wanted a Congressional nomination

sinuating-and an insinuation is always
a sneak's method-that the editor of this

have once before, to name the occasion
or the time when that "attempt" took
place. The public can't have much in
terest in this matter, to be sure, but if
we can get our slippery neighbor to fix
himself somewhere for a brief time, we
promise the public some amusement from

something in a dull season.

came to a sudden termination in the mid

the floor in the ecstacy of composition, had
walked through the Office hatchway, and
couldn't get back before the paper went
to press. We never knew a disputant to
go out OF sight SO suddenly. And in the
above extract the editor, peering into the
underlined future, conjectures of the COM

tended to convey a dark hint--the editor
is fond of hints-that he can smell great
deal worse that now, if he tries to, and
that he may come nearer to us? If so, we
shall feel much like fleeing the field and
confessing ourself beaten.

The Victory in Ohio.

The results to the Democracy in last
weeks election in the great state of Ohio
are abundantly confirmed by fuller re-
turns, and constitute brilliant triumph
AGovernor by %, OOG majority, and Leg
islature by over forty on joint ballot, with
an United States Senator depending on its
vote, is a synopsis of the result
1t makes no special difference whether
the wound which the Republican party
has received in Ohio be as deep as a well,
OF as wide as church door. It's enough,
and will suffice. The grave is dug, and
the funeral cortege waits. 1t will have
few prayers and fewer blessings.
Its long career of wrong headed mis-
doing made curious diversion for it's last
days-as bad men sometime experience
repentance, and to some extent make res
tuition Its conscience seemed to have
been touched, so that through its official
head, President Hayes, it confessed to the
efficacy of Democratic principles, and as
its last act, applied them to the long suf-
fering states of the South, and thus re-
stored their rights, privileges and pros
perlty. 1t could in justice do no more,
and inrepentance no less. Happily what
has been done cannot be revoked, but
must stand forever. The acts which freed
South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana
have now indicated themselves, so that
even the radical maligners of Democracy
must see alike the impolicy and the hope
iessness of an attempt at reversal. The
men of brains of the South once more stand
in the national counsels, as representatives
| Of their states, Of all industries, conditions
and colors-a recognized weight in affairs,
and an active and selt-respecting force in
national affairs. That, thank Heaven, is
fixed beyond recall.
There is no estimating the point at
which this tidal wave will be stayed.
New York and Pennsylvania, and prob
ably Massachusetts, will be whelmed by
it, with many lesser states, hitherto Re-
publican. Its remoter consequences are
the assured ascendancy of the Democrats
in the coming Congress, and national
ascendancy in 1890, that no frauds of re-
turning boards, or chicanery Of electoral
commission, can overthrow.
