The Persecution of Prisoners.

The fundamental principle of criminal
law that every person is presumed to be
innocent until proven guilty, seems in n fair
way to be superseded by the very opposite
doctrine. that every person is to Ice pre-
sumcd to he guilty until proven innocent.
We are pleased, however, To See one sign
Of a disposition to adhere TO the ancient and
wholesome doctrine in favor Of the pre-
sumption OF innocence. A disposition To
maintain the views advanced 10y The Sun
rs To the harshness and illcgality Of the
treatment of Mrs. SMITH by the Jersey City
police is very generally manifested. The
woman may possibly, and. indeed, very
likely, bc guilty; but the means taken to
obtain evidence against her, and. among
other things, 10 eXtOrt u confession from
her. il correctly reported are unjustiliable
and neXcusable. There may be the strong
est kind Of evidence against both her and
COVERT BENNETT, but If there is We do not
see why it is kept secret. We are at n loss
to understand why the counsel for these
prisoners-if they have any--do not bring
them up on hdbeas corpus, and find out just
what i alleged against them.
story is told, a. ii in justification Of the
police that a nightgown belonging to Mrs.
SMITH has been found with stains Of blood
upon it. But the accounts Of this do not
agree. One says the nightgown was found
in II bundle of clothes; another that it was
secreted in Il chimney. One represents it 10
have been just discovered; another as
found week age. Certainly His bloody night

Why is fresh emphasis added to 1t unless
it be 10 distract attention from the unlawful
persecution Of the prisoner
Any person is liable to be in n house where
murder is committed. Among the board

Mrs. CUNNINGHAM at the time Or. BuDELL

course Of the authorities in Jersey city il

Learn Your Interests.

He who learns to produce most,
and makes his products of the best
quality, not only has good deal to
sell, but always finds a ready par>
ket at good prices. On the other
hand, the''indifferent farmer never
learns the art of raising large crops
or improved stock; consequently
he has but little to sell, and that Of
an inferior quality, so he is in effect
excluded ,Asm the market. Take
for instance the matter Of butter.
1t is always preferable to make a
good article, but the one who makes
and carries poor butter to market
must make up his mind to work for
small pay. And what will prove
true with reference to butter will
also apply,witli the same force to all
other products. Not only should
the butter be gitt-edged: but the
the cheese, mutton, beef, corn pota-
toes, beans and everything take to
the market or consumed at home
should be oethe very best, and when
this change IL effected farming will
pay.-Feld ani FARM

The Best Cow for Small Farmers.

Our opinion and also that of the
principal dairymen of the country
is, that the jersey, commonly called
Alderney, is. above all others, the
best cow They are easily kept,
very docilc a point not to be over
looked-and beautiful; give milk Of
superior richness, from which is pro,
duced finely oolored, solid butter,
having an equal texture and favor.
Butter made from such milk has
been known to keep, when placed in
a dry (not cold) cellar without tho
use of ice, and whom taken out was
in a hard, firm condition, and was
then sold much higher than best orr
dinary butter. The cost of Jerseys
is not much more than for scrub,
and they will more than make up
the difference in price in a few
months.-Lire Stock Journal.

There is considerable difference in
the merits of. different breeds of
fowls for the table, although taste
has much to do in determining
which are tie best; aud while breed
has something to do With It, the age
has q great claim, for some arc bet
ter at certain ages than at others.
The young, immature and slow"
growing Brahma for instance. is not
desirable until it has gained its full
growth, and must be fattened up
quickly. And, in fact, year old
bird of any breed We prefer TO
chicken, no matter how it is cooked,
though many have weakness for
broilers in. the shape of young
chicks. Young Leghorns, which
feather up more quickly than'do the
Asiatics, and mature more rapidly,
make the best broilers, and many a
nice one have we helped TO dlsSect
after it has come from the hands of
skiAful cook. --'..-..
Although but few persons seem to
know it, much of the table merits of
a fowl or chick depends upon the
way it is fattered, and on what it is
fed, too, in great measure. TO
make bird tender and juicy, it
must be fattcred quickly. The food
which gives it the best flavor is un'
doubtedly a grain food, pariaking
largely of corn in some OF its differ
ent forms, the amount and manner
of feeding depending upon circum-
stances.-Amerieaa Poultry Jour-

Kiss ME BEFORE YOU 90.

Your way lies over the hillside,
Out in the rain and, sleet,
Out in the worlds wild turmoil,
Where bus,le and business meet
Bu.mine by the noiseless hreside'
Where the 'fanciful embers glow
With changeful life-like motion;
Kiss me before you go.
My quiet way will be haunted
With visions none others can see,
Chances more precious than diamonds.
Smiles full Of meaning to me;
The sounds of welcome footstep,
A whisper thrillingly low,
Ab. thought will clasp memory closely,
Kiss me before you go.
For this world is full of mischances,
And one ofthese chances may foil,
That we two ne'er again in the freight
Make one shadow upon the wall.
o, then, once more in the parting
Alas That it must be So
Leave me fond benediction:
Kiss me before you 60.

A Cure for Neuralgia Tooth
ache.

A German physician recommends
powdered quinine very highly as o
local application for neuralgic tooth
ache. The sufferer should dip a
finger into fresh water and then in
to the quinlne powder. and rub it
thoroughly on the gum in the neigh
horhood of the painful tooth. The
application should be repeated two
or three times in succession. The
bitter taste of the medicine should
be borne as long as possible. DR..
Darvaris tried this remedy first on
himself, and then on numerous other
persons; among the number were
many who had tried other remedies
in vain. 1t invariably produced a
rapid alleviation of the pain.-Pro. .

Dissolve common salt in water,
sprinkle the same over your manure
heap, and the volatile parts of the
ammonia will become fixed salts,
from its having united with the mu-
riatic acid ef the common salt, and
the soda thus liberated from the salt
will quickly absorb carbonic acid,
forming carbonate of soda; thus you
will retain with the manure the am"
monia that would otherwise fly away,

of soda, which is powerful solvent
