NeM YOrk'S Dead MilIiOnaires.

The New York correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press writes: The death of
Peter Goelet closes the list of big mil
lionaires who were among us a few
year ago. And they all dropped off be-
tween three score ten and four score.
John Jacob Astor went first, and then
in quick succession Commodore Wander

was estimated at S50,QO0,OCO. Wander
bilt's at $780, OOOO, 600 and Stewards about
the same. Rhinelander's property rep
resented, it is supposed, $4,000, 600, and
Goelet's is estimated at 800, ,OOO. 900.
The money of Astor, Rhinelander and
Goelet was ali in real estate and mort.

death, and some, l believe, has been
sold. Astor himself never sold any

Hay as Food for Hogs.

But few men are aware of the fact that
hay is very beneficial to hogs. but it is
true nevertheless. Hogs need rough
food as we'll as horses, cattle or the
human race. To prepare it you should
have cutting-box (or hay cutter), and
the greener the hay the better. Cut the
Miy W bSno saO' ssos os oa sr Sh0e @ddna a @ and
feed as other food. Hogs soon learn to
like it, and if soaked in swill, as other
slop food, is highly relished by them.
In winter use for the hogs the same hay
you feed your horses, and you will find
that, while it saves bran, shorts or other
food, it puts on flesh as rapidly as any
thing that can be given them.

Do 1t Well.

Whatever you do, do it well. A job
sighted, because il is apparently unim-
portant, leads to habitual negligence,
that men degenerate insensibly in their
workmen .. g..
THAT is good rough job, said an old
man in our hearing, recently, and he
meant that it was piece of work not
elegant in itself, but strongly made and
well put together.
Training the hand and eye to do work
we'll leads individuals to form correct
habits in other respects, and good
workman isy in most cases, good citi-
zen. For one need hope to rise above
his present situation who suffers small
things to pass by unimproved, or who
neglects, metaphorically speaking, to
pick up cent because it is not II dollar.
Some of the wisest lawmakers, the
best statesmen, the most gifted artists,
the most mercifuljudges, the most ingen-
ious mechanics, rose from the great
mass. .... .....
A rival Of a certain lawyer sought TO
humilate him publicly by saying: You
| replied the lawyer unabashed, land |
did it WELL" And because of his doing
even mean things well, he rose to
greater.
Take heart, all who toll! all youths in
humble situations, all in adverse cir
cumstance. and those who labor unap-
preciared. If it be put to drive the
plow, strive to do it well; if it be but
to wax threads, wax it well; if only 10
cut bolts, make good ones; or to blow
the bellows, keep the iron hot. 1t is
attention to business that lifts the feet
higher up on the ladder. rLr-
Says the good book; . Seest thou q
man diligent in his business, he shall
stand before kings; he shall not stant
before mean men. >" e.., .. ....-...r

the territorial army of POS, 900, makes
total of 1887 900. In 1892 this will
be increased by 100000 reserve men.
The German army consists of 2,004, 300
men. In 1892 the total strength of Italy
will be 2,O24, 200 men. Austro- Hun

haunted spirit, there was no rest for
her. The avenger was on her track,
she felt, and in few days all would be
over-the doubt, the fear, and the long
ing. Her imagination, feyered and un-
natural, went out in vague speculations
about that other heir--the true one,
whom she had defrauded. Who was

Then the child stretched out her tiny
hands and cried:

had given it to her, even life everlasting
She resolved then and there to give up
the wealth that had tempted her. II
God would wash away that stain, hence
forth that life should be dedicated to

And so when she came back to the
desolate house it was with feeling that
God would keep a niche in heaven to
hold her idol. The child was not lost, ii
was still heIs.
" Still hers, maternal rights serene
Not given to another;

She must take up her cross and con-
fess her sin, and then 60 out into the
world, God helping her, to redeem the
past.

RUINOUS POLICY.

The speech of Gen. Ewing at Columbus
Thursday evening has the right ring
about it. While it was brief, and can hardly
be called full exposition of the Democratic
idea, it indicates pretty clearly the policy
that will govern the conduct of the campaign.
His arraignment of the Republican party
was concise, truthful and pointed. 1t has
turned its back to the soldier and its face to
the bondholder, confscating the interests of
the masses and piled mountain high the for
tunes of the favored few. Its policy has
bsen thoroughly disastrous to the country,
aud had it not been for the vastness of our
resources and the wonderful energy ana.per-
severance of our people, the whole nation
would now be hopelessly bankrupt. As it is
the burdens that rest upon the shoulders of
the industrial classes are grievous to be borne.
Every article the laboring man eats or wears
is rendered difficult to procure on account Of
the taxation, direct or indirect, placed upon
it. All his possessions are listed by the tax
collector, and he is forced to contribute to-
wards maintaining sbamefully extravagant
and corrupt government and to pay the in
terest upon the bonds held by the rich.
The favoritism manifested towards the
rich by the Republican party ever since its
accession to power has been most conspicu-
GUS. The tariff and internal revenue laws
seem to have been framed on purpose to
burden the poor and to enable tho rich to
still further add to their possessions. The
financial policy of the party has apparently
been dictated by the same impulse. While
the meagre possessions of the laborer and
the mechanic are taxed, the bonds of the mil
iionaire bear no part of the burdens of the
government. Money is wrung from the
man who has little and given to the man
who has already more than he needs. The
small tradesman is driven from business by
the ruinous competition of the great mo-
nopolies, made so by laws rank with in.
justice. In short, the whole policy has beer
based upon the theory contained in that
| scriptural solocism: 'sTo him that hath
| shall be given, and from him that hath no
shall be taken away even that he hath.'
Is it any wonder that, witnessing the in
justice and feeling the wrongs inflicted
upon them by such a ruinous course, th'
people are protesting against further con-
tinuar ce in power of the Republican party
State after State and district after district il
forsaking the party for one whose principles
have been tried in the past and not found
wanting, and in another year the control O.
the entire country will be wrested from il
present misnanagement and given to tn
keeping Of tho Democracy. Ohio, We ar
sure, will take the lead IN October in th
great revolution that is impending.

what appears to be a much needed reform

Of any pretentions to metropolitan dignity

that do not collect dollar in duties in th'
