The Hearts of the Lowly.

One day three or four weeks ago
gamin, who seemed to have no friends in
the world, was run over by vehicle on
Gratiot avenue and fatally in jured.
After he had been in the hospital for
week boy about his own age and size,
and looking as friendlcss and forlorn,
called to ask about him and to leave an
orange. He seemed much embarrassed,
and would answer no questions. After
that he came daily, always bringing
something, if no more than an apple.
Last week, when the nurse told him that
Billy had no chance to get well, the
strange boy waited around longer than
usual, and finally asked if he could go
in. He had been invited to many times
before, but he had always refused. Billy,
pale and weak and cmaciated, opened
his eyes in wonder at sight of the boy,
and before he realized who it was the
stranger bent close to his face and
sobbed:
Billy, can ye forgive feller? We
was allus fighting and l was allus too
much for ye, but I'm sorry Fore ye die
won't ye tell me ye haven't any grudge
agin me?"
The young lad, then almost in the
shadow of death reached up his thin
white arms, clasped them around the
others neck, and replied:
"Don't cry, Bob-don't feel bad!
was ugly and mean, and was heaving a
stone at ye when the wagon hit me. If
yen forgive me I'll forgive you, and I'll
pray for both of usm
Bob was half an hour late the morning
Billy died. When the nurse took him to
the shrouded corpse he kissed the pale
face tenderly and gasped;
"D-did he say anything about-about
meP"
"He spoke of you just before he died
asked if you were here" replied the
nurse.
And may go-go to the funeral?"
You may"
And he did. He was the only mourner.
His heart was the only one that ached,
Notears were shed by others, and they left
him sitting by the newmade grave with
a heart so big that he could not speak
If, under the crust of vice and igno.
rance, there are such springs of pure
feeling and true nobility, who shall grow
weary of doing good?-DetrOit Free

Thoroughbred Pigs.

Successful farming in the future must
combine intelligent thought with indus
trious effort. Competition has reduced
the producers profit to such narrow
margin that no false step can now be
taken with impunity No thrifty farmer
should subject himself to the positive
loss so certain to accrue from feeding
coarse, scrubby, large-boned animals,
whether oxen, sheep or pigs; and yet
millions of such creatures are maintained
in this country, consuming the substance
of their owners and bringing into bad
repute the great business of meat pro-
ductiOn.
In New England, especially, where so
much of the food for animals must be
purchased from abroad, it is absolutely
essential to successful pork-raising that
such pigs only should be reared as will
give the largest returns for the smallest
amount of food such as combine with
the small bones, little oifal, early matu-
rity and rapid fattening qualities. To
produce this desirable result it is only
necessary to procure reliable thorough
bred sires of some approved and estab-
lishcd breed, and cross them with large,
healthy and vigorous sows of common
stock. Such crosses will furnish grade
pigs that will assimilate more food and
grow more rapidly than pure-bred ami
mails,
The thoroughbred pig is the result of
many years of intelligent, scientific and
experienced breeding; of high feeding
and extra care; of close selection, genera
tion after generation, of those individual
har - ha xtrbD
hibited in marked degree the qualities of
rapid growth, early maturity and proper
assimilation of food After fully estab-
fishing these qualities in the breed, the
high bred pig is principally valuable for
his power of transmitting such qualities
to his offspring, when crossed with Sc
lected ordinary sows. No farmer can
afford to keep herd of high-bre pigs
simply for the purpose of raising pork
for the butcher, and the rearing of such
by the average producer for any other
purpose than that of improving his com
mon stock cannot be recommended.
When, however, the fact can be demon
strated, beyond question, that, by u.s.
ing reliable thoroughbred sires, every
pig in the litter will be worth at least
one dollar a head more when weaned,
and can, with an equivalent amount of
food, in twelve months be made to weigh
from fifty to eighty pounds more than
the scrub, adding money value of three
to five dollars to each pig in favor of the
grade, is it not the part of plain business
sagacity and intelligent farming to adopt
that course which leads to certain sue
cess? A few years since, owing to their
scarcity in this country, thoroughbred
pigs of approved breeds were held at
prices far above the reach of ordinary
farmers, but now, thanks to the enter
prise and intelligence Of our American
breeders, such pigs are within the pur-
chasing power of vast majority of our
farmers, who should take advantage of
such opportunities and make pork.rais-
ing an additional source of profit in the
economy of the farm, - Boston CultiOGtOr.

The Louisiana Indictments.

Political prosecutions are very rare in
this country. When the rebel armies
surrendered to Gen. Grant, his terms
were that the men and officers should
lay down their arms and return to their
homes, where they could remain undis.
turbed for anything in the past That
was a general amnesty, which no man
has ever been mean enough to ask to
have violated. So, through the years
that have passed since then, men have
committed the grossest acts of violence in
several of the Southern States, growing
out of the conflicts between contending
State Governments. For four years Nc.
Emery and his associates maintained
hostile State Government in Louisiana,
and on one occasion by force drove out
the State Government, and for several
days exercised Governmental authority.
This was clearly treason against the
State of Louisiana. Subsequently Mich.
oils and Packard maintained opposing
State Governments, both more or less
supported by force. One or the other
was, technically speaking, making war
upon the lawful Government of the
State, and was guilty of treason. When
the various persons on both sides in the
State reconciled their differences, organ
lied one Legislature instead of two, and
thus put an end to the civil war by
peaceful recognition of the Nichols
Government, there was an implied as
well as expressed amnesty for all past
oflenses, of whatsoever kind, growing
out of the manifold political contro-
versies of the past. Instead of prosecut-
ing Packard's troops for treason, the
Nichols Government paid them for
their services. Had no such amnesty
and general cOndonation for the past
been conceded, there would have been
no adjustment of the difficulties,
and disorder would have continued
in that State until now. All these
men in Louisiana know all this.
To pack Grand Jury and have the
members of the Returning Board in.
dictcd is as gross violation of the terms
and understandings of the recent com
promise and settlement as it would be if
the Grand Jury had indicted Packard and
Kellogg for treason in claiming to exer.
else the office of Governor. In all ma.
tions and at all times an amnesty for all
ofienses committed during political con-
troyersies, or the claims of political fac.
tions or contending Governments, has al.
ways been considered inyiolate. The
Implacable Democrats in New Orleans,
to whom peaceful Government in that
State is irksome, and who would prefer
an armed conflict with the other party,
have resortcd to this ill-advised and dis
reputable violation Of the sacred terms
of the peace agreed upon. While the
Governor of that State may be impotent
to arrest the proceedings before the
Grand Jury or the court, he may, in case
of conviction, interpose his Executive
pardon to prevent the completion of the
outrage upon good faith, upon public
and private honor, and that he will do so
we have no doubt. Chicago Tribune.

THE /" COMING MAN"

A pair Of very chubby legs
1pcased In scarlet hose;
A pair Of little stubby boots
With rather doubtful toes;
A little hat, little coat,

And lol before us strides In state

His eyes. perchance, will read the stars,
And search their unknown ways;
Perchance the human heart and soul
Will open to their gaze;
Perchance their keen and flashing glance
Will be a nations light

On some big fellows" kite.

In solemn, secret state;
Where fierce Ambitions restless strength

Where Science, from now hidden caves
New treasures shall Outpour-

Whose whispered words, on lightning flash,
From world TO world may reach:
That, sternly grave, may speak command,
Or, smiling, win control

So sticky. small and brown,
Those hands whose only mission seems
To tear all order down
Who knows what hidden strength may lie

Though now tits but q sugar-stick
In sturdy hold they claspl

And blessings on the little brain

An Antidote for Poisons.

A French medical journal gives the
following formula for an antidote for a
number of deadly poisons: Solution of
sulphate of iron %. 145, 100 parts;
water, 800; calcined magnesia, 80; washed
animal charcoal, 40-these ingredients
being kept separate, the solution of sui.
phate of iron in one vessel, and the mag
nesia and charcoal in another, with some
water. When needed, the sulphate solu-
tion is poured into the aforementioned re-
ceptacle, and violently agitated; the MKT
ure to be administered promptly in doses
of from 16 to 33 ounces. This anti
dote, employed in proper proportions,
renders preparations of arsenic, zinc and
digitaline completely insoluble.
