Influence OF Hard Times.

The "hard times" are upon the conn.
try, Daily, scores of business men
have to coufess they cannot raw their
debts. The economizing in cities is
become more severe. and the show ex-
pesses-the needless expenses-are
being done away with. These are slow

have not known until now how little
wonderful that bu, two or three years
ago they considered it necessary to
spend TO or three times as much, though
they had TO draw npon their credit to
do so.
la he country there has been no
such "oome down" People never got
TO living so high. In some sections OF
the East, the hard times IN cities have
given new energy upon the farm. We
observe this spring considerable ac-
tirity In eneciing improvements. There
is much drainage, clearing fields OF
rocks, making stone " all. aud making
neat the roadside. Farmers get renew
ell faith in their business, when they
see their sons aud relations and friends,
who few years since seemed to be
prospecting So mucn more than them
selves,with hall the work either depriv-
ed OF their business, or sirugg ling
with debts. This sort Of thing is hav.
ing HAPPY effect upon the fixed rural
community, and Is giving i, better
courage TO work yes, to work the
secret OF this mans aud that mans
srccess,-and TO work with content
ment with their place in the worlc
which makes the work go further by
cne-hslf.
On the farm prices are how; but so
are the prices of all things the farmer
buys. ~At the low prize of farm pro-
duce there is good demand. which
shows there is still left good degree OF
purchasing power in the community,
and which we hold is one of the mos,
cheering aspects of the situation

Among the things which the average
farmer can do which will pay largely
in comfort and pleasure, though not
returning pecuniary reward, there are
but few which are more productive OF
good than the careful and early cleaning
of the front dooryards in the spring
Yet this is something which to many
farmers wholly neglect. They are
aware that there will be no return in
dollars and cents and their love Of the
beautiful is not strong enough TO in
dnce them to spend time and money in
eflecting an Improvement which relates
wholly to appearances. They are will
ing to labor in q corn field because they
know that the work which they there
perform will insure larger crop Than
they could otherwise obtain.
The same principle governs all their
farm work. They labor for the sake Of
obtaining pecuniary reward. To q
certain extent il is right that they
should do this. Most Of the working
hours OF the farmer should be spent in
some productive industry. But there
may and should be occasional deviations
from this general rule. There are some
things which the farmer can afford TO
do without money-which he cannot az.
ford to leave undone though they make
10 return in cash. Clearing and beaui;
fying the door-yards is one Of -,
things. And it is now the 80, ,;m,

Nature had made a mistake in putting

The barnyard should be a place for

sunshine and fresh air, and of course
it should be kept in a condition that
will make it comfortable and pleasant
for the stock. But this cannot he the
case If manure is permitted to accumu-
late and become mixed up with the clay
of the yard till all animal cannot walk
without sinking in to his nees. Great
discomfort often results to farm animals
from this cause. Too frequently
manure is thrown in heaps in the yard
and left exposed toathe elements, to be
trampled about over the yard by the
stock. Such process is exceedingly
wasteful, aud sooner or later tells in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The
Blaine Committee is without funds
to prosecute its work. 1t was the
opinion of Mr.. Blaine and others
that the $4,000 appropriated last
session for the use of the Senate
committee appointed to investigate
the charges against Senator Mat
thews and the late presidential
election generally, would be appi-
cable for the present committee.
But Judge Porter, First Comptroller
of the Treasury, to-day decided
that the appropriation must be used
for the expenses of the committee
directed by the Senate to inquire
into the alleged frauds in the Presi-
Dental election, and not the defray-
ing of the expenses of the commit
tee under the Blaine resolution.

New YORK, Dec. 24.-O'Leary

four hours rest last night and the

O'Leary seems fresh and keeps up
his steady well known gait, but
Campana, to the eye of an observer,
seems greatly fatigued, and his
walking appears labored. O'Leary
at about half past ten this morning
had completed los miles, and about
the same time Campana was on his
115th mile. The total actual walk
ing time of the former up to that
hour was % hours and 46 minutes,
While that of the latter was %
hours, Al minutes and 25 seconds.
