Interview with Mr.. Weed In the Chicago Tell.
Tale.
"Here is Mr.. Hayes, who was placed in
the Presidential chair against the popu-
lar vote, and by the most adroitand skill
full management ever known in politics.
No sooner does he get his seat than he
begins to reverse the entire current OF
the movement and thought which placed
him there. Instead Of recognizing in
himself the creature of an unprecedented
and desperate combination of men, he
thinks himself providentia called to
his high office as a savior of his country.
He knocks down the ladder upon which
he climbed, shuts his eyes to the Contin.
gencies of his position, and undertakes to
manage the Government on the most ap-
proved Sunday School pattern.
"There is where the mistake has been, "
said Mr.. Weed, after an ominous pause,
"there is where the mistake has BEEN
Mr.. Hayes should have been elected to
the superintendency of Sunday School,
instead of to the Presidency Of great
Republic"

MURDERED MAN 4LIKE.

Many of our readers will remember
that, about seven years ago, a man named
John s. Harrison suddenly deserted his
family, consisting Of wife and seven
children, in Green Spring, and for sew
eral days no trace could be found ofhim.
1t was supposed he had run away, but a
few days later, in the woods, along the
railroad near Forest, Ohio, the hat of the
missing man, together with an article or
two of clothing, an empty pocketbook
and several other trihes we're found.
There was a cut in the hat, and blood on
it and some of the other articles. From
this it was supposed that Harrison had
been foully dealt with, although the re-
mains could not be found after strict
search. He was given up as dead, and
of course dropped out of the mind of
most people.
The dead man, was however, rather
lively corpse, as subsequent events pro-
we'd. About six weeks ago he was ar
rested in Texarcana, Texas, on the charge
of bigamy. 1t seems that when he left
this section he went to Forest, ARRANGED
his death indications, and from there he
went to Carnyville, Grayson county, Kyp
under the assumed name of ii. II. Hen
ry. After being there short time he
formed the acquaintance of a respectable
young lady and in due time they were
married. They lived together, appar-
emily happy, for several years, when
Henry (Hafrison) without any cause, de-
serted his wife as suddenly as he had
done in the first instance.
Every effort was made to find him,
but until six weeks ago without effect.
The matter was in the hands of N. Q. Til
ford, of Carnyville, who was interested
in Texas lands. He found Harrison in
Texarcana, where he had lived long
enough to get into the good graces of an
other young lady, and had married her
under his assumed name. In both cases
of these marriage the victims were daugh-
ters of farmers and respectable members
ofsoCiety.
Harrison is now in Jail, and evidences
of his misdeeds have been secured, that
will send him to the penitentiary.
The case is peculiar one. The wife
he first deserted was an excellent wom'
an, and he had very promising family
of children, all girls. He was generally
liked, and no one can account for his
actions. He made friends in the places
where he victimized the two young la
dies he married. The facts in the case
show clearly that Harrison is misera-
BILE scoundrel. .-I1in Tribune.

to be Providential, and called out words
of Thanksgiving, and tears Of gratitude
from the sufferer.
After making moderate meal OF the
eggs, but the most delicious food OF his
life, he found hollow tree and in this
spent the night. In the morning the
horse was not to be seen. After another
meal from the eggs he had preserved,
Donaldson, sore and lame, plodded on
with new hope, and before night reach
ed Fort Washington, now Cincinnati, in
a pitiable condition, and came very near
being shot for Shawnee.
Through the kindness of a friend, ne
soon recovered bis wonted strength and
health, and reached his home in safety,

important to Assessors.


State Auditor Sherman, has made
the following decisions relative to the
law governing the assessment of
property:
lst. That threshing machines are
taxable IS such, and are not included
in the term farming utensils"
I'd. That steam engines attached
to threshing machines, should be
separately assessed.
Sd. That wagons, when used by
persons who make livelihood by
farming" are properly farming uten-
sils.
4th. That it is the duty of the AS
SCISSOR when listing the property of a
person who makes livelihood by
farming, to value all his farming uten-
sils, and from the aggregate thereof
to deduct the exemption Of $500, and
the overplus must be assessed, and is
subject to taxation.
9th. That the term farming uten-
sils" includes any and all improve
ments which are in ordinary and gen.
eral use on the farm, and necessary
to persons who make livelihood by
farming - hence wagons, reapers
mowers, plows, harro WIS and the like,
being implements IN ordinary ust
therefor, are included in the term.
9th. Sewing machines are not ex'
empt under the law, and therefore
should be assessed.
It'll. Improvements, and buildings
erected upon real estate since the las
assessment of realty, cannot be assess
ed in the intermediate year. Real es
tate is not subject to assessment ex
cept in every second year--but any
description thereof which has beer
omitted may be assessed at any tim.

Save the Bones.

never throw bones away,
but on the contrary, gather all
/ can find scattered about, and pur-
chase all I can get, to manufacture
into fertilizer. The process is very
simple and inexpensive. Take q
strong, tight barrel, or some large
box constructed for the purpose, and
place a covering in the bottom Of
about four inches of unleached ashes !;
upon this place layer of bones as
closely as they can be packed togeth-.
er, and then cover with unleached
ashes, 30 as to hide the bones COM
pletely, when another layer of bones
can be placed, and thus alternate ash
es and bones until the vessel is filled.
If the vessel is very large water
should be poured in when every four
or five layers are on but with q COM
mon barrel it is sufficient to pour in
couple of pailfuls when the barrel is
full, or better still, place the vessel
out in the yard, where it will get
sufficient moisture from occasional
showers. Ifkept under cover, water
has to be supplied in very small guam
titles, sufficient to keep the mass
moist. Leave the vessel thus all win
ter and in the spring it will be found
that the bones are dissolved. | emp

A man can't most always tell when
he's going to get into trouble. A
preacher named Thorpe, at Des
Moines, is getting q fearful going
over on account Of a prayer he made
in the lower house at Des Moines. He
said: It
"Thy blessing rest, we humbly be-
seech Thee, ON Thy servant, the Pres
ident of the United States. Be pleas
ed to cure him Of the insanity of the
feelings which has shown itself in
undue sympathy for section OF the
country, and enable him to see it to
be his duty TO heed the sentiment of
all the people. May his will be swept
into Thy will in Thy plan of saving
the lost"
The Register says:
One member of the House states
that when the Rev. Mr.. Thorpe pray
ed for the President, the other day,
he had an inclination to rise and
move the reference of the prayer to
the Committee Oh the Orphan's Homo
the orphan without . party. II
this thing goes on there will
have to be q permanent committee
