Breeding Ela.a1lel.in.

The practice of breeding to relatives
is as old as the origin of the thorough
bred race-herse, says Observer" in
the Michigan Farmer. The foundation
of that breed was from close connection
between intimate relations. In the early
history OF breeding in England, the
Arabian, Barb and Turk were scarce, and
they were bred together in every con-
ceivable shape to produce the thorough>
bred, breed that is valued high, because
no other blood than the oriental strains
of the desert has been suffered to
pollute their pedigree. This mode OF
breeding produced such distinguished
horses as Flying Childers, King Herod,
Mambrino and Eclipse; all great horses
are connected through kindred strains OF
blood. It is the saving clause in the
pedigree to be able to trace back through
relations to some great champion of the
turf. The vaitrue off { the the breeding is meas
ured by the heroes and heroines contained
in the generalogy of the parents. Here
ditary law is the foundation of success
in breeding. In founding a family OF
trotters we should follow the example OF
those who established the runner. The
same cause produces similar effects. Ex'
perience is the best teacher. The past
will prove guide to the future. The
history of the breeding will test the
merits of in-breeding and out-breeding
If we find that close-breeding has pro
duced the most valuable stock, it IL
worth while to continue the system til
some change has modified results.

Matchmaking Editors.
(SiOux CITY Journal. I

There is class Of blackmailers, villain
Gus libelcrs, uhconscionable scoundrels,
engaged in printing what by courtesy are
called newspapers. We refer specifically
now to a class Of men utterly Worthless at
law and so entirely devoid of character as
to be without shame. The class is becom-
ing sufficiently numerous to merit atten-
ton at the hands of our lawmakers. If
the men thus nefariously engaged were not
executiOn-proof, outraged communities
would speedily find a way to stop their
smut-mills. AS it is there is no power to
reach them save the power of the mob. No
mans name, no wOman's reputation, is
safe in their hands. They make their terms
and you are invited to take into considera-
ton the consequences. 1t is nonsense to
bring suit against them in the courts, for
their is no law to reach them, and the at
tentioil thus bestowed upon them but in
flates their se'fimportance and enlarges
the scope OF their opportunities for ma
licious evil. In cases Of this sort, what
can be done? The remedy, it strikes us,
need not be sought very far. Let the
wholly irresponsible blackguards be dis
qualified in law, upon conviction in the
courts, from continuing their vile sheets
until the fines against them are paid or Sc
cured.

COL. ROBERT aNGEES0LL.
His Characteristics and Success as q
Lecturcr.

Colonel Ingersoll will be able to give
only a week in New England this season,
as his law business detains him most of the
time in Washington. lie only lectures
when he can spare few days-seldom
more than week between law suits. In
gcrsun has made from G35, coo to 500, 900 I,
year in his law practice for the last ten
years. He is the most successful jury law
yer in the West, and has been the attorney
for years Of several of. the leading rail
roads. He lives in Peoria, ILL.,, but also
keeps house in Washington, and spends
about equal time at Peoria, Chicago. and
Washington, Nearly all his lecturing has
been done between these places when he
could stop night en- route. lie has re-
fused higher offers than were ever made
for long series Of nights to any lecturer in
the field, as he cannot afford to neglect his
law business.
LectUring with him is simply pastime.
BY his contract with Mr.. James Redpath,
ne receives, besides guarantee, between
$500 AMI $500 night, and sometimes
more. He draws large houses everywhere

A Homo Of Your Own.

An aged pastor was wont to. say that he
considered it an insult fer man to take
his young wife to live in his fathers house.
He had knc wn, he said, Il dozen cases in as
many years, in a community Of farmers,
all of which ended unhappily. Aside
from the wretched teriipers bequeathed
many of the children bo:n in these unnatu-
raj surroundings, there were desertions,
divorces and insanity. You might have
been saved all this had you gone to house
keeping when you married her." said
plajn-spoken neishbor to the husband of
an insane woman. When she began to i'm
prove. she went to housekeeping: anG
now the happy, wei wife prescribes "a
home of her own for a crazy woman,
who was circumstanced as she had been.
Young husband, no matter how good or
honored your parents are, heed Joshua
Billi1gs' homely advice: '.Never go to
live with the old felix's hut. II wust comes

The use OF long words which we get
from other tongues not only makes our
thoughts and our speech dim and hazy,
but it has done somewhat to harm the
morals of our people, remarks Horatio
Seymour. Crime sometimes does not look
like crime when it is set before us in the
many folds of long word. When
a man steals and we call it s.defalcati0n, !"
we are at a ldss I'd know il it is blunder
or crime. Ifhe does not tell the truth and
we are told that it is case of prevarica-
ton it takes us sometime to know just
what we think of it. No nsn will ever
cheat himself into wrong-do.ng, nor will
I've be at a loss to judge of others if he
thinks and speaks OF acts in clear, crisp
English terms.
