It seems that the lightning swim
dlers have not all left the State, but q
party OF them is now at work in the
western part OF the State, who have Il
villainous and deceptive form of an
order which farmers should carefully
examine before signing. It is drawn
in the usual form, specifying the price
to he paid for rods, points, braces, &c,
and is apparently all right. There is
however, inserted in very small type,
and which the ordinary farmer will
overlook, Il condition which says in
substance that the order is note and
is due and payable from and after the
date of signing. Under this claus e
. the signer is completely ut the mercy
Of the party to whom the order is d.
rected. Ordinarily that individual
may put up the rod and fulfill his con-
tract but he can also deliver the sew
eral articles called for and collect his
pay all the same. It may be that a
man soliciting signatures to orders Of
this kind is honest and will deal fairly
but if that is his intention, we fail to
understand the object of the cutthroat
condition we laye referred to.-Untl
it's purpose is satisfactorily defined we
coution the public against signing this
Or any similar paper.-Mankato Re-
view.

BEEc11ER.-We dropped down to
Mankato on Monday and attended the
Beecher lecture Oh Monday night. An
audience OF 500 to 1000 assembled to
hear the great preacher and, of course,
there was but one opinion. People are
taken captive and carried up by Beech
TT in spite Of themselves. lie is not the
actor that lie was some years ago, and
we noticed that many Of his character
istic gestures, notably tho revolving
swing Of his right arm and the back
ward run across tile platform, were
wanting. lie used to be as 1.-THE us Il
panther and us electrical in his gestures
lis Ristori, but he has grown heavier
and more unwieldly physically. But
there is no decline in brain power
There is, in fact, much gain and greater
ripcness III the matter Of his addresses.
AS Il teacher, as Il pulpit orator, as Il
versatile public speaker, he has had no
equal either in Europe or America for
the past twenty years, and no one man
OIL the globe has excrted as great an in
tlueIce during the past two decades.
We wish he might live twenty years
more to help men to be free.
The MA1Ls.-The very odd Scratch"
has got into the mails again, and no one
ut this point can count on getting mail
m utter through with anything like
promptness or certainty. Here are Il
| few examples : We sent to St. Paul for
Il German primer for one Of our WORTH
ington girls. The book came into orr
hands about two weeks after we receiv-
ell the bill. a gentleman at Bigelow
sent us two copies ola pamphlet, which
were delivered to us about five days af-
forwards. A gentleman at Westside
wrote us for county maps. We mailed
them the same day, and yesterday we
received the following: about ten
days ago I sent for eight county maps.
l have not received them as yet"

The INLAND ISsURSScE PooL-The Chi
Sago Tina OF September95 gives this news
from the late scat Of war:
"The managers andagents Of companies
comprising the marine pool, in this city,
met At No. 10 La Sale street yesterday at
9jo'eiock. The attendance was quite full.
The special subject beforethe meeting was
the question OF settling the details Of last
weeks business under the general pool.
The companies have experienced some
difficulty in evening up under the present
arrangement. AS considerable reinsur-
ance i required on specific cargoes, the
Executive Committee decided to adopt q
new plan, and the board was called 10
teether to act upon the recommendations
OF the committee respecting the distribu-
tion OF risks. After general discussion, the
board adopted, as an experiment, the ar
rangement in force at Buffalo, \. l., under
which the entire local business has been
transacted for two years past. This will go
into effect as soOn as Commissioner Rel
logg finishes evening up the present sys-
tam between the twenty-onc companies
interested. No change was made in the
apportionment OF shares, and satisfaction
was generally expressed at the results OF
the big pool. The new plan spoken OF
will necessitate the issue OF open policies
By companies to each other, all attaching
simultaneously and on each and every
cargo taken, the premiums and losses to he
divided among the companies according to
the apportionment already agreed upon.
4 is understood that the Executive Com
mittee will have the necessary policies
prepared, and the new plan will go into
operation October l, when an advance in
rates will also be made"

The nnle Of Hospitality.

True hospitality isa thing that touches
the heart and never goes beyond the cir
Gle Of generous impulses, Entertainment
with the truly hospitable man means more
than the mere feeding Of the body; 1t
means an interchange Of soul gifts. Still
it should have It's laws, rs all things good
must have laws to govern them.
The obligation to be hospitable Is asa
cred one, emphasized by every moral code
known to the world, and apractical out
come OF the second great commandment.
There should never be o guest In the
house whose presence requires any con-
siderable change in the domestic econo-
my.
However much the circumstances Of bus
mess or mutual interests may demand IN
entertaining stranger, he Should never
be taken into the family circle unless he Is
known to be wholly worthy Of aplace In
that sanctum sanctorum Of social life; but
when once O man is admitted to the home
freside, he should be treated O Il the
place had been his always.
The fact OF an invitation gives neither
host nor guest the right to be be master Of
the others time, and does not require even
a Temporary sacrifice of ones entire indi-
viduality or pursuits.
A man should never he so much him
self as when he entertAins O friend.
To stay at a friends house beyond the
time for which one is invited Is to perpe.
trate d social robbery.
To abide unlimited in q friends hotSets
as much a misdemeanor as borrowing bis
coat without permission. II Is debastug
the coin OF friendship TO mere dross when
a man attempts to make 1t pay his hotel
bills. >s.
The fact Of two men having the same oc-
cupltion and interests In life gives 70 nei:
thera social right 10 the Others bed and
board. A travelling minister has no more
right 10 90 unlimited to u fellow.preachers
house than O travelling 81 .opkeeper orshoe'
maker has to go uninvito d to the house o.
his fellow-craftsmen. Men are ordained
10 the ministry as preacheEs,teachers,, and
pastors, and not as private hotel keepers.
They who go into the country in sum.
mer as unlimited guests Of their farmer
friends should be rated as social brigands
and treated accordingly.
These few social maxims are by no
means to be taken as a complete code 81
laws. Others quite as important vii
spring up out Of the personal experience
OF every reader Of this article, and the jus
tice and equity OF all may be tested b!
that inialli6le standardofsociety -thegold'
en- rule. There can be no true hospital.
ity that in practice Is a violation OF this
rule; and YOU may safely rest assured thai
you have given the fullest and most per.
fect measure OF entertainment to your
neighbor il you have done exactly as you
would be done by.

ON the Hackenaek R'publicnu.

From the Haekenack R'publieau.
1t was on a background. He was a
young man, and had a memorandum.book
in his hand. He was working away with
a pencil, and presently a man leaned over
and said:
What's the scorer"
"I don't know" was the reply.
Then there was a few moments Of
silence, during which time the young maj
figured away until another man approach.
ed and asked:
"What inning Is this?'
Don't know was the sullen reply. :
"0h, you don't" said the querist, sarcas-
tically; ''well, you needn't be putting on
airs over it, as Il l were asking you the Sc
crets Of Freemasonary."
He had no more than recovered from
the shock than another man walked over
to him and inquired:
"was that last a two or a three-base
hitH"
This made the young man mad, andhe
replied not.
The inquirer passed, and he enjoyed
five minutes peace, when O ragged little
eamin stepped up to him and yelled:
"say, mister, how many runs ahead are
the Jerseys?" -
Then a man asked him which paper be
represented, and while he was simmeriig
| with rage another fellow walked up TO him
to make some inquiry, but before he could
open his mouth to do so the man with the
memorandum.book cut him short by Jump
ing up and screaming, al don't know the
score; l don't know what inning It Is; ]
don't know a curve-pitcher from a history
OF Paraguay; l am not connected with any
paper; now don't ask me any more CUES
tons. It's a pity II 4 man can't sit down
TO compose a few verses for a lady's auto

Then he resumed his seat, red in the face,
and was allowed to continue his verses in
peace.
