stances combined mad led her 10 believe that MS

Mr.. Thomas +. ByrIe, counsel for Carr. appeared In

the order OF arrest against his Client on the
gsound that the affidavit on which It was issued was
insuficiept From that document. he argued, ap-
pearsd that the original credit on winch the suit IS
based was not given any representa- at all ;
that the notes mentioned in plaintiffs affidavit were
merely given in acknowledgment OF that indebted

lions tended obtain Tor him credit and that hs sub
sequcnt conduct IN pretending TO leave for England
when did not show ed that his purpose Was fraud
and decoi, which statutory orusr OF arrest might

tue defendant being the person he represented

rections it fosters the existence of hopeless
ly useless class, absolves us from the necessity
of dealing with multitude Of reckless
paupers. 1t is true us has been caustically
said that man in this country can be born
for nothing, bessdoctored for nothing, and die
and be buried for nothing-having quietly
passed through the world entirely ut the ex-
pense of other people, without any satisfac-
tion, either to himself or to them; but even
with this lavish distribution of public and
private charity We should long since have
experienced grave difficulties in all likeli-
hood, but for q large and continuous stream
of emigration. A population such as that

of employment and subsistence on other

THE FARMERS FRONT YARD.
Rural New Yorker,

Most farmers, even thApoorest of them,
have desire for trees, plants and flowers.
They enjoy well kept place. It Is very
rare thing to find front yard without some
attempts at ornamentation. The schrubs
and flower. beds and the grass are often neg
lected and allowed to struggle with each
other In their own way. Some work Is oc-
casionally done at odd intervals. A small
spot is dug in the grass for single rose
bush, another is for small spirna, one for
lilac, another for peonY, and perhaps
several others, two or three feet across, for
small beds of flowers. In this manner the
grass plot is broken up and frittered away
by numerous single plants or small beds
scattered all over the yard. Except, per.
haps, for few vines, we should set plants
little way from the house. Beside this,
for unpretending yards by farm houses, we
suggest plan which, at q less cost, we
think, will make the yard look better than
they now look.
The ground for the lawn should be nice.
ly graded and enriched, taking care in most
cases to preserve the natural, gentle undu-
latations. In several places here and there,
depending on the size of the grounds, set
shrubbery or flowers is masses of not less
than ten feet IN diameter. Plants In small
beds cut out of turf seldom thrive we'll, be-
cause the grass roots run down beneath the
plants, often for three or four feet, robbing
them of moisture and nourishment. In the
plan leave clean open spaces free from every.
thing but grass. This can then be easily
moved several times year.
Ifthe land is rich and well graded the
grass can be easily moved and It will fur.
nish crop which will be handy to feed the
horses or some other stock. Locate the
trees and shrubs somewhat with reference
to making it easy to NOW the lawn. The
patches or groups Of shrubbery should be
often cultivated, at least until they become
well established. A nice lawn IL the most
beautiful part Of well.keps iroat yard

SAYINGS BY JOSH BILLINGS.

There are but few men who are as foolish
as they are thought to be. and less who are
as wise as they think they are.
'It is only etep from the sublime to the
ridiculous" and it is only the very wise
who can take the step and get back again.
The hardest dollar for man to get is too
often the one he needs the most.
The man who dies the richest is the one
who leaves the least here and takes the
most with him.
True philosophy, like true philanthropy,
is work of deeds, not words.
When see man who is over.anxious
to prove anything, | am very apt to think
he is not very certain about it himself
thank God that there is one thing that
money won't buy, and that is the wag of q
dogs tail.
No man ever became great simply by
accident; accident has often opened the
way.
The multitude gaze at the epaulets, the
few at the man who wears them.
Young man, what you get in this world
you have got to win, and mankind are hard
taskmasters and slow pay.
The great mistake that many folks make
is, they are continually betting on to. morrow
and letting to-day go by default.
Most of us are happy not so much be-
cause we have got horse and buggy to ride
in, as because the other fellow has got to go
on foot.
Is is easy enough to learn by experience
but to profit by it is what's the matter.-N

The stranger turned around to the crowd,
noted the sudden increase of interest in
each face, and kindly said
"Gentlemen, I'm going to treat every liar in
this room. Let the liars, the monstrous
liars, come forward"
Not foot moved.
"Gentlemen, continued the stranger in q
plaintive tone, don't be backward, julips
wait for all. Every one of you who
is known as liar, will please stand up."
Not man stood. The strangers face be-
trayed keen disappointment as he ordered q
rousing big mint" for himself, and not a
word was spoken in the place while he
slowly slipped the cooling liquid through q
straw. When he had finished he wiped
his mouth and said:
"Well, every true teller in the crowd will
now stand up"
Each man rose with the promptness of g
soldier.
"And sit down again" softly said the man
as he made for the door.
They would have sat down on him but

The Wave of disqualification that is Sweep.
ing Over Europe-The Spectre of Social
ism.
Cor. New York Herald.
London, july 16, 1S7s.-The rumor that
after the eastern business has been settled
blythe congress the socialist question will be
discussed, increases the interest with which
the meeting of the plenipotentiaries is re-
garded, especially if the assertion be true
that London is the headquarters of the So
cialists, and that on the Monday following
the attempted assassination the foreign off
ice in Berlin received letter, posted in
London the Saturday before, warning them
that the emperor and, if possible Prince
Bismarck would be assassinated on the very
day that the attempt was made. There is
without doubt. great perturbation among the
reigning families in Europe, who feal them
selves helpless against the terrible peril that
may surround them, and know not whose
turn may come next. At any moment in
some back room, in an obscure London
street, a hand may be dipped into ballot
box and the fatal lot drawn forth which con-
signs some other high parsonage to death.
