Keep an Eee6sanE..

1t is a very good plan for farmers to
keep a strict account Of their labor. We
know very well that the majority Of peo-
pie dislike to be ficed down by columns
Of figures, when the sum total shows q
decided balance against them; but if
accounts are kept, the result will be that
greater economy will be practiced in the
long run, and that efforts will be made
on every hand 10 make the balance IA
vorable This is the time Of the year to
begin. The first thing you ought to do
is to make an inventory Of every thing
you have. Make it carefully, and value
all your property. Let it include your
acres, houses, utensils, stock, machinery
Of every description, as well a. notes
and all other monetary matters. Ii there
are any IncumoranCes on your property,
put them down. Then make up your
estimate Of operations for the ensuing
year, and start out with the determine
ti0n to live up to it, As the year pro-
crosses set down all your sales and pur-
chases Of every description; don't let a
cent Of expenses or income escape.
Your family expenses should have q
separate place in the book, so that they
may be footed into the general result at
the close Of the year, and still be So dis
tinct az to show for themselves what It
costs TO Clothe yourself, wife and children
and to furnish them amusemenH and
general pleasures. You will snd, in
Keeping YOUR account Of income. that
it is a good plan TO run each fe{d crop
separate, 90 that you can, at tbi close,
see at a glance what your profit or loss
has been on each. Keep da.e-f Of times
when fields were pL2wed, hoF hey we're
cultivated, aud what the sU'r on each
has cost. This will teacHfl tarmer in a
short time which crrps are the most
profitable In lfl. keep a particular
record Of each E's-sI, with pedigree,
birth and other remarks Of interest
Keep, a. well, a general diary Of events
on the farm for future reference.
You will ind plenty Of time in which
TO attend 20 these things. Keeping al
account will take but few minutes each
day, and when you have once begun
you will be surprised to see how easily
it can be done. Thereis is one great point
TO b. kept in view always, and that j.,
to never run in debt. Shun debts a.
you would The fire. Strive To- live with
in your means, and you will have a net
result when You balance your books al
the close Of the year that will surprise
and make you glad.-Prairis FarDl7r

LIGHT AS A MOTOR.

A working model of very interesting
machine is now being exhibited in New
York shop window. 1t is the invention
of an Englishman, and consists of four
discs alta ched to arms radiating from a
revolving post. One side of each disc is
painted black and the other white. The
black surface absorbs and the white sur
face repels light, thus revolving the ma
chine. In order to avoid friction with
the atmosphere, the machine is placed
under glass cover, from which the air
has been exhausted. 1t is not heat that
moves the discs, and that the motive
power is light alone is proved by the fact
that the machine will work even if it is
placed in an Ice house. The light of
candle will cause the machine to revolve
slowly, and calcium light will incite
rapid revolutions. The model on exhi-
billion is worked by ordinary daylight,
but is not touched by the direct rays of
the sun. 1t is in the shade.

THE SHAMS.

John Sherman Is a millionaire. He
acquired his fortune during a Congress
sional career of eighteen years, with a
salary ranging from three thousand to five
thousand dollars per annum. During
th time he devoted himself exclusively
to politics, but he was fortunate enough
to be Chairman of the Senate Commit
tee OF Finance when all the large loans
were issued, and was the confidential
friend of Jay Cooke, througe whose hands
most of them passed. He therefore enioyed
the best opportunities for getting rich,
and he knew how to improve them.
OF all the members OF the Fraudulent
Administration, he has been the most
forward and persistent in requiring the
oiiiceholders to be assessed tor money to
be used at the elections this fall. He set
the example OF removing a competent
subordinate in the Treasury for no other
reason than because of his refusal to be
blackmailed. All the lower grades of
clerks from ST POO year down are ar
bitrarily taxed one per cent. on their pay,
and the assessment is graduated upward
to two per cent, the heads of bureaus
being expected to pay more than the levy
on the clerks. Sherman's salary is $4,000,
and when called upon for his subscrip-
tion he put down 500, or at the rate of
one and quarter per cent. on the pay.
Hayes headed the list with his name, as
an admonition to the hundred thousand
otiit eholdng patriots, but he | as not con-
tributed DIME to the fund. Reformer
Schurz gave 500. The others are waiting
for Hayes to show his greenbacks.
Meantime, the collector goes through
the depart ments, exacling the last cent
from the victims of civil service reform

A DIFFERENCE OF RELIGION FsTRAN-

DIFFERENCE OF RELIGION FsTRAN-
GEs MIR. AND MRS. FALLON.
From the Ne,o York World, September 3.
Tom Fallon, the young blacksmith, is
likely to lose his bride after all. 1t seems
that Mrs. Fallon nee Cohen, daughter of
the "old clo' man" of Baxter and Worth
streets, exacted from Fallon certain prom
lses which he has not fulfilled. After
Judge Van Brunt, on Saturday, in the
Supreme court, dismissed the writ of
hdbeds corpus which compelled young
Fallon to produce the body of Miss Cohen
in court, she went to the home of her
father and anxiously awaited the decision
of her husband. The brides people say
for her that Fallon persuaded her o marry
him on his promise that he would be con-
verted to the Jewish faith and that he
persists in continuing to be a Catholic.
On Sunday night conference was held
between the fathers Cohen and Fallon
and the young couple. The Jewish bride
solemnly declared that she would not
longer live with the blacksmith husband
unless he became Jew. Fallon answer
ed that he would not desert the Catholic
church for the Hebrew faith for a million
of dollars. He stubbornly resisted all
coaxing, and at length the persons sepa-
rated, the blacksmiths, father and son,
bidding adieu to the old clo' dealer and
his daughter. Yesterday an uncle of the
bride called upon Counselor David Levy,
who appeared on Saturday before Judge
Van Brunt In behalf of father Cohen,
and consulted with him about the advisa-
bility ofinstituting an action to annul the
marriage on the ground of "force and
fraud" 1t is probable that such an ac-
tion will be begun at once, and it is fur
ther said that young Fallon has agreed
not TO oppose the suit.

business and Ind ustrial Items

] tTrade In the -four mills of the East and
South is moderate. Western mills. as n
rule, are fairly employed.
The Eastern coopering trade IA oene-
rally dull, but business is reported fair in
Ohio. '''' ="
The demand for domestic help is steady
but exceedingly limited
The lumber trade on the Pacific coast
has rarely been so depressed as at presen Mt
throughout the Western and Middle
States the saw and planning mills con-
tlnue only partially employed.
New York job printing offices are mode
rately employed, AMI book work is fair
in New York and Philadelphia.
The finishers in Decker's piona manu-
fectory in New York city, who recently
struck against ten per cent. reduction
are still out.
The Eastern iron trade is steady
throughout the South business is gene
rally rather fiat.
The boot and shoe business is moder-
ate in New York. The Eastern trade is
steady. At Lynn, Boston and other
points in the Eastern States the shops
are generally busy. The strike in Chica-
go continues. The shoemakers of New
York city have determined to aid the
men in Chicago by forwarding remit
tances 80 loug as the strike lasts. They
urge the Chicago men to hold out, even
against the threat of introducing Chinese
labor
The large millinery establishments in
New York are fairly employed. Letters
from Chicago, st. Louis, and other Wes-
tern cities intimate that business is mod
crate, but at all the large centres, never
theless, large numbers of sewing girls
are still unemployed, or only partially
employed.
Mining trade in Pennsylvania, Mary
land and West Virginia continues dull
and unsteady. The same may be said of
the West. The breakers at the Provost
mine. Centralia, Pa, struck recently be-
cause their wages were lower than those
paid at the other mines in the vicinity.
A favorable indication in the iron
trade is the fact that within the day or
two past there have been considerable
purchases at New York of pig descriptions
on speculative account, showing that
somebody has confidence in the near fu-
ture even of that market.
The Eastern paper trade is steady, but
some Of the mills are yet running with
reduced forces. The paper mills of the
Rock River Paper Company at Beloi,,
Wis.,, were burned recently. All hands
are idle, but the mills are to be rebuilt at
once.
The New York and Brooklyn stone and
marble yards continue slack. From St.
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati and Buffalo
business is reported fair. Throughout
the Eastern States there is not much ac-
tivity.
The ship yards in New York and
Brooklyn continue quite slack. In Boston
trade is moderate, though most of the
work being done is repair work. In Ches-
ter, Pa, aud Wilmington, Del, business
is steady, but rather slack.
The brick trade is generally moderate
in Philadelphia. A Boston correspondent
reports the brick trade unusually dull for
the season. Trade is fair in Chicago, st.
Louis and New Orleans.
The car trade has been very dull for the
past six months. AT present the indica-
tions are not encouraging. Most of the
car shops throughout the country are
working with limited forces.

for the year, and their entire capacity TO
meet and discharge all the several loans oil
the company at maturity. This has been
done .aecordance with the long estab-
lished financial policy ofthe company. The
total amounts OF payments on account OF
maturing sterling debentures and towards
increasing, he sinking funds during the
year have been S6S7,0 u. Adding to
this payments towards reducing floating
debt, netting $3.50 II, and we find an
aggregate OF payments and Invested money
to the company's credit OF Sl,544 006 %.
The increasein the business OF the year Is
shown by the augmented tonnage. The re-
port gives an increase OF tonnage from
l,047, Di5 tons in 1877 to lsl4g, 1872 tons IN
1873 d net increase Of l0l ,SS4tons The
quantity OF wheat brought TO Baltimore by
the road last year was 1885,, ?S3 bushels,
an increase Of $3.50, 6SS bushels over 1871.
The -four amounted to 1IS,2ll barrels, an
increase Of 136,609 barrels. The receipts
OF corn were TO- 64, 2S5 bushels, q decrease
Of 1885, 20 bushels from the returns Of
last year, attributed in part to short crops,
and in part also to the action Of Compel
ing lines in carrying corn at Improbable
rates, so that the baltimore & Ohio Com
pany felt constrained TO decline such q
ruinous rivalry. The passenger earnings
show considerable decrease as COM
pared with the previous the Cen
tennial) year, being $1,000, SIG -, a fall:

delivered at Baltimore. There were also

10 the final and conclusive settlement ,ei-

OF the long-pending disputes and protract;,
