What Washington Didn't Know.

IWasnlngon UnlOn.I
We don't like to be irreverent, but
would like to ask, What did our fore
fathers know?s What, for instance, did
George Washington know? He never
saw a steamboat; he never saw a fast
mail train; he never held his ear to a
telephone; he never sat for his picture
in a photograph gallery; he never re-
ceived a telegraph dispatch; he never
sighted a Krupp gun; he never listened
to the fizz" of an electric pen; he
never saw pretty girl run a sewing
machine; he never saw a self-propelling
engine go down the street to a fire; he
never heard of evolution; he never took
laughing gas; he never had a set of
store teeth; he never attended an Inter
national Exposition; he never owned a
bonanza mine 4 he never knew cold
Prob" he-but why go on? No; when
he took an excursion it was on fiat
boat. When he went off on train it
was mule train. When he wanted to
talk with a man in Milwaukee he had to
60 there. When he had his picture
taken it was done in profile with a piece
of black paper and a pair of shears
When he got the returns from back
counties they had to be brought in by q
man with an OK cart. When he TOOK
aim at the enemy he had to trust to 6
crooked barreled old fint-]ock. Wher
he wrote, it was with a sgoose-quill
When he had anything to mend, hi
grandmother did it with darning
needle When he went to fire ht
stood in line and passed buckets. Wher
he looked at clam he never dreamed i
was any relation of his. When he wen
to concert he heard cracked fiddl,
and an insane clarionet. When he hat
a tooth pulled he sat down and neve
left off yelling. When he got out o
teeth he mummed his victuals. Whel
he wanted an international show he sen
for Lafayette and ordered his friends u
from Old Virginia with the specimen
carefully labeled in bottles. When h
once got hold of a nugget. of gold from
an Indian chief he felt rich. When h
wanted to know anything about tn
weather he consulted the grounding o
goose-bone. When-but why go on

You fash like little twin stars bright,
MY pulses bound and wildly beat
To Jenny's twinkling fairy feet.

ELECTING BAD MEN.

The following extract from the Troy
Chief we recommend to Republicans in
this county. 1t strikes few Republi.
cans in this neck of woods we think, and
we ask them to sit down and take good
think over it:
We never hear Democrats railing
against their tickets, charging that bad
men have been nominated. But not an
election passes, but We hear men claim
Ing to be Republicans, bowling about
bad men on the ticket, and wearing their
bOot-sOles off in their efforts to defeat
them. In States where they have expe-
rienced the beauties of Democratic rule,
and where it requires united efforts to
succeed, this Democratic dodge does not
fool many Republicans into the work Of
defeating their own ticket. When Hart
ranft was nominated for Governor of
Pennsylvania, such a hue and cry of
corruption as vas raised against him,
was never before heard in the State, and
it seemed as if the people were going
wild over it. 1t looked as if Hartranft
would not get a respectable vote. But
he was elected by large majority, and
was reelected and a more honest and
faithful governor never ruled Pennsyl-
vania. Not particle of corruption has
ever shown itself in any of his official
acts. So with Mackey, the State Treas
urer. This officer was formerly elected
by the Legislature. 1t was charged that
Mackey bought his election, and that he
would steal the State poor. The new
Constitution of Pennsylvania made the
Treasurer an elective officer by the peo-
pie. At the first election thereafter,
Mackey was elected by the people. The
State has never lost dollar through
him. This is usually the way it turns
out in Kansas Any man nominated by
the Republicans, is bad man, in Dem.
ocratic eyes and as long as they can find
Republican fools to take up the cry, and
do their work for them, they will have a
soft thing of it. If there were enough of
such fellows to throw Kansas into the
clutches of the Democracy for a few
years, they would find out something
about bad men on tickets.

THREE PER CENT.

Not long since, in conversation with .
farmer, he gravely informed us that he
did not believe the farmers - class,
hard working as they might be, made to
exceed three per cent. on the capital in
vested. Startled by 80 strange a state
ment we inquired il he meant that the
farmer cleared three per cent. or if he
simply meant that that amount repre-
sented his gross earnings. The reply
was that the three per cent. represented
the gross amount. He read the Advocate,
and his conclusions were drawn from q
statement made in that paper.
Too many people are apt to jump at
just such conclusions from apparently
well founded facts, which, if examined
carefully, show plainly their utter alb
surdity.
Many farmers think that when at the
end of the year their store accounts are
settled, doctor bills paid, his smith bill,
(for legitimate farm expenses,) with the
amount due his preacher, teacher, and
tax, which is usually paid towards the
last, that whatever is left is made and is
called profit; but if it falls short and he
is behind it is called loss. This is q
common view bu an unfair one. It is
not correct for the reason that the bills
have no connection with costs of plant.
ing excepting the:smith bills.
A merchant doing business on capt.
tai of $4,000, wanting to obtain the re-
suit of the years operations, takes an
inventory of stock on land, amount of
available accounts, with money on hand
after paying his clerk hire, interest paid
on money, and other expenses incidental
to his business but does not include the
expense of supporting his family, which
might, if at all extravagant, absorb the
profits and part of the capital as we'll.
There are large numbers of farmers
whose total capital, including real estate,
working stock and farm implements can
not be valued at more than 81 500, who
have raised good sized families and sup
ported them we'll, and to do this must
have made profit of from twenty-five to
thirty per cent.
The trouble is that farmers do not give
their farms credit for the articles they
consume. Butter, eggs, poultry and
garden stuff cost cash when consumed by
those in town and on the farm are not
in the amount received. The
writer of this article has paid out as high
as $500 q year for the item of eggs,
alone. How many farmers allow any
thing for the eggs they eat, when COM
putting the productions of their farm?
Our opinion was, that our farmer friend
had got into such habit of grumbling
that he had to find fault about some
thing as safety valve for his feelings.

The Court of Appeals, of New York,
has sustained the "civil damage law" by
which any damage resulting from the
use of intoxicating liquors shall be made
good by the liquor seller, and if he be
not responsible, the landlord is held for
the damages. The law is good one and
is calculated to diminish drunkenness and
crime. If John Smith sells whisky to
Tom Jones, and Jones goes home and
abuses his wife and burns the house

NARROW ESCAPE,

Saturday last as Mr.. Robert Cain was
driving home with load of wood, his
little boy jumped from the wagon, when
near the house, slipped and fell under
the wagon one of the hind wheels passing
over his body and one of his legs. The
ground was smooth and hard and a heavy
load on the wagon, but nevertheless the
little fellow escaped with some bruises.
1t was a terribly narrow escape from
mutilation or death. The boy is about
eleven years old.
