HUMOROUS.

TRUTHFUL JEMMIE.-Patrick Mullen,
little man with red hair was impross-
ing some truths on the mind of youth,
the picture Of himself, when the jus
tice In Essex Market court said:
"Your wife has two black eyes and
complains that you gave her them."
Mullen-"Is it mel Oh, would you
look at that now Sure here's me boy,
bright lad, yer honor, and If you ask
him about the case he'll tell you as how
Mary Ann, me wife, was drunk, an, in
tallin', give herself the eyos she's GOT"

case by your sons testimonyP"

said the court.

"Was your mother drunk2"
"No, Sir. She was as sober as could
be. Father was not very drunk, though,
aud he kicked her and struck her with
his tist.'
"Jemmie!" said Mullen, In severe
tone.
"Now, dad" said the boy, "you ain't
goiD' to frighten me for cent. The
judge seen you give me the wink and
knew what was up for dead sure
thing"
Mullen was committed and "Jemmie
dear" left with his mother.
MIXED CANDY. There has been somc-
thing of coldness existing between his
Honor and Bijah for some weeks past,
owing to the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of nearly pound of
mixed candy, which had been left in
the desk. Bijah's theory was that rats
took away the sweets, but other people
held to othor opinions, and the old man
felt that he was looked upon with sus-
picion. Recently, however, all cold
ness was removed by his leaving on the
desk seven large harvest apples of re-
cent pattern and modern make.
"Mr. Joy, have noticed Of late,"
said his Honor, as he carefully laid
aside the apples, that you are very at
tentivc to your duties. l am indeed
glad of an opportunity to say so, and
to observe that your conduct meets
with the appreciation of the Court"
Btjah blushed as red as a girl, chased
fly off his bald head, and looked
seven years younger rs he went In after
his first prisoner.

AGRICULTURE.

| How HORSES BECOME BLIND.--One
of the worst eye traps known is the
abominable hay rack, where horse has
to reach up and pull the hay down,
filling his name, foretop, and, the
| worst Of all, his eyes with hay seed,
chatf or whatever may be mixed with
the provender. These traps are met
| with nearly everywhere throughout
the land. These throw the horse in
the most unnatural position for feeding,
as the natural position is to reach down
and pull up, not to reach up and pull
down, as these hay racks make him do.
In reaching up to eat, 1t exposes the
fOretop, face and eyes to seed, chaffand
dirt which on getting on tho head once
is liable to get into the eyes at any time.
We will speak now Of the abuse that
horsemen resort to In controlling
horse. The worst Of all Is in striking
him over the head with Il leather strap,
your fist, a club or whip. Shame on a
man that would dare to club over the
head the noblest OF creation next to
man But am sorry to say we find
great many 80 called good horsemen
that take delight in sitting on their
wagon seat and trying to see how close
they can send the point Of cracker to
tho horse's ear, or strike some particu-
lar spot on the back of the head, neck
or shoulders. But my word for it,
man who will practice this, comes to
grief sooner or later. Instinct tells
the horse to be careful of his head, and
especially his eyes, for when they are
gone that onds his seeing, as they can
never be restored or new ones put in,
as we all know. Therefore, never
strike a horse about the head. The
number of horses eyes hurt by slipping
the collar over the head would surprise
us all If known. A horses head, with
face, is hard thing to slip stiff collar
over without rubbing and bruising the
eye. Next, we have the stable to con-
tend with, and it produces more weak
eyes than any other one thing we know
OF. The gases arising from the body
are rulnOus to the eye. Let man
stand over pile of warm decomposing
manure and see how quickly 1T affects
the eyes. But he never thinks about
the horse in his closely confined stall
with no ventilation either above or be-
low to carry away this poison. Set
your stables up from the ground, give
ventilation underneath so as to oonflne
this gas and compel 1t to rise through
the cracks In the floor. Also put good
ventilation high above the horses
heads to cause current of air to carry
of this poison as 1T generates. Always
give the horse plenty OF light, but not
through small hole; make it large so
as not to condense the rays rs they come
through small opening. Never white
wash stall, rs white is very bad on
the eyes. Take sheet Of white paper
and hold it before your eyes short
time and soc Its effects; but you can
turn your head and look away from it
while the horse cannot, as he Is tied up
with white sheet all around him.
Never whitewash stall, but always
use blue, as 1t will never hurt the eyes.

GEN JAMES SHIELDS, late United

suddenly in Ottumwa, Iowa, at 1890
Sunday evening. On that day he

hearty supper at 6 o'clock, and wrote
several letters, but just before re-
firing complained of 4 pain in his
chest, and soon after sail to his
niece that he was dying, and in thir-
ty minutes he expired, sitting in his
chair. He lectured in Ottumwa the
Wednesday previous, and remained
there for a visit with relatives. He
was an honored brave in both the
Mexican war and South IN rebellion,

An Old and Patriotic Apple Tree,
New Haven Palladium


New Haven Palladium.
An apple tree s~tandiug in Mr.. De-
los Hotchkiss' dooryard, in the north
western part Of the Gown Of Ches-
shire, is thought to be the largest IN
the United States. Its age can be
traced by a family Tradition to l4o
years at least; and IT may be twenty
OF twenty five older. 1t is ct the
present time Of symmetrical shape,
and the trunk il. nearly round, with
out q scar or Flemish on it. There
are eight large branches; five OF
these, Mr.. Hotchkiss says, have
been in the habit OF bearing one
year and the remaining three the
next. But when the Centennial year
came, the old tree, which must have
attained the prime of ordinary apple
tree life before the nation was born,
expanded it's blossoms into a com
plete band of glory, and bore fruit
all over the tree. Mr.. Hotchkiss
has had a crop of eighty-fve bushels
of fruit in one year from the five
branches, and his predecessor had
harvested a cropof 10 bushels from
the same five branches. The d men
sions OF the tree are girth, fourteen
feet six inches; height sixty feet, and
the spread of the branches six rods.

A VERY singular item comes
from Maine. A lady Of MaGrid, that
State, was in a house which was
struck by lightning. A valuable
watch which she wor stopped at
the time, and, although jewellers have
repeatedly examined it and pro-
nounced it perfect in every partic-
ular, it cannot be made to move. It
is so charged with electricity that
watchmakers say no part of it can
ever be made to do duty if taken
out and put into another set OF
works.

EVERYBODY knows" says the
Louisville Courier--Journal, "that
since the Republicans commenced
their legislation 'to protect Ameri-
can citizens, there has been a gradual
demolition of the liberty of the
American citizen" This is true, but
the legislation and the demolition
do not bear the relation of cause
and effect. That a Wisconsin man
in Mississippi dare not speak his
sentiments; that a Republican in al
most any Southern State dare not
vote; that a colored man dare not ap-
proach the polls with a Republican
ticket in his hand that a colored
man who desires to leave the South
because he can't get pay for his work
is liable to be shot on the river
bank !; that, in short, there has been
a gradual demolition of the liberty
of the American citizen, is not due
to the Withdrawal of any power from
the Southern States. II what we
find in the South is republicanism
then the sooner the form of govern
ment is changed the better. But it
is not republlcanism-it is anarchy
Aud is becoming apparent that re-
~publicauism in it's true sense can be
established only by giving the Fed
eral Government greater power.
Even (this is not said to make The
Courier-Journal furious) whether the
present constitution of the United
States is flexible enough to allow it
or not.

NOTES.

The refreshing showers of the past
week have given increased beauty
to this naturally charming spot,
and ushered in "leafy June" in all
her usual glory. An immense con-
course of people participated in the
Decoration ceremonies on Friday,
making it the most elaborate cele.
bration of the kind ever known in
the Capital City. Governor Smith
acted as President of the day with
his usual grace and dignity. Judge
Hubbel, of Oconto, acquitted him
self with credit as orator, and Miss
Root, of Verona, read a neat and
appropriate poem of her W con
struction. Tie procession of car
liages was over a mile in length. Al
together it was a grand success, for
which the State officers and em.
ployes are mainly to be credited, as
| understand they contributed two
thirds of the funds, which are n
leading necessity in celebrations, as
in most other enterprises.
AS predicted, the suit for viola
tion Of the law against keeping sa-
looms open on Sunday, was the mer-
est farce, the jury returning a YER
diet of ''not guilty." Oh but a mo-
ment's
every member Of said jury knew, as
well as he knows anything, that,
at every saloon in Madison, liquor is
dealt out as freely and openly on
Sunday as any other day of the
week.
Iowa county has been well repre-
sented here the past week Messrs.
r. S. Smith and Thomas Richards,
of Linden; Mr.. Rewey, our efficient
overseer of county poor farm; Judge
John II, Jones, and wife, and David
Jacka, Esq, and daughters, have all
been here on various missions, and
each seemed well pleased with the
visit.
Each week increases the probabil-
ity that the present efficient State
officers will be renominated without
opposition, as they should be, in &C.
cordance with the custom under
which Wisconsin has come TO be
noted as one of the very best gov
erned States Of the Union. That
the Republican nominees, whoever
they are. will be elected by a hand
some majority next fall, is conceded
by even the Democrats,
Considerable interest is felt in the
campaign just opening in Ohio.
Republicans are confident of the sue
cess of their party there by 20 to 30
thousand, and speculative fellows
are seeking bets on that basis. The
seton of the Democratic majority is
regarded as the greatest boost the
Republicans have had since the same
party by their treason boosted their
opponents into power in 1860. Then
the Democratic party proved itself
so clearly to be the party of dis I'm
ion, that the people could not fail to
see it when too late to avert the ter
