ranging their little stands, sat down
to wait tor customers. One was
furnished with fruits aud vegeta-

and the other supplied with lob

passed along, and each little mer-

The Northern Idea.

Jackson Clarion.
We read i'm Northern papers a
great deal about Southern lawless
ness and the bad feeling between
labor and capital in the South, but
the fruitful imaginations Of these
sensational journalists have con.
ceived nothing to compare to actual
occurrences in the North. The
Pennsylvania legislature labored
for weeks over bill to appropriate
$4,000 to make good the losses
caused by the Pittsbnrg strikes not
only in which lives as wellas property
were sacrificed. Other comnuni-
ties lost almost as heavily during
the saturnalia of diabolsn in 1877,
and 1t is not ended. A late Chi
cago Herald, in referring to the
outlaws says, within a few weeks
half dozen railroad trains have
been wrecked, while three exten-
sive and costly coal breakers have
been fired by incendiaries and
burned to the ground. Dunmore,
a mining hamlet in the Lackawan-
na district, and place that has
been rendered infamous in the his
tory of the coal country, by reason
of the numerous and cruel TRACE
dies enacted there, was visited re-
Gently by y gang of outlaws, who
attacked squad of miners who
were returning to their homes from
the "day shift" The result of
this meeting was fearful conflict,
in which several of the assailed
and assailants were fatally wound.
I'd. Coal towns of Ashley, Ply
mouth and Nanticoke have likewise
been invaded by the marauders,
and their path has been marked
with bloodshed. Robberies and in
outrages have been com
nitted to an alarming extent.
From carefully computed detective
statistics, it is believed that there
ire between $4,000 and $4,000 des-
,erados in Pennsylvania who only
await the commencement of a gen
,ral miners strike to fnaugurate a
,reat and terrible revolution.
Now, suppose that scenes any
hing like what are described, were
o occur in the South, can any one
how many thousand of
throats would be split
n the effort to proclaim the dread
ul news7

Der day the fires of railway ties
extending in ii long line either way
as tar as the eye could follow, made
still more neutral by contrast with
their ruddy light the dung gray
fields of stubble, and the woods lin
which the gorgeous panoply of the
earlier season was paling into rus
set and ashy tones. The work was
over and we were waiting with
some impatience for the order to
take up the line of march back to
camp; for the evening air struck
chilly through our threadbare and
taltercd jackets, and we had eaten
nothing since early morning. More
over, wild rumor had spread
abroad that an issue of fresh pork
awaited our return, and though
the long habit ofexpecting nothing
good until it came secured us
against any serious disappointment,
there were not wanting tender
memories of "short" biscuit to raise
our anticipations higher than we
cared to own. Thus preoccupied,
we are fain to refer distant cheer
ing further down the line to tidings
of the coming rations, and we gath
er by the roadside in order to get
off the more promptly when our
turn shall arrive. The sound grows
more and more distinct every mo-
ment, and now, far down the road
some moving object can just be
discerned in cloud Of dust which
travels rapidly our way. Nearer
and nearer it comes; louder and
more enthusiastic ring the shouts,
and now we make out in the dust
the figure OF u single horseman,
with aclump of others trailing OFF
into Obscurity behind him-Jack-
son is coming A moment more,
and he is here, going at almost top
speed; his hat is Off; his hair
blown back from his broad white
forehead; his eyes dancing and
his cheeks agtow with excitement,
and the rush of keen air. And now
the cheers grow deafening and
ragged hats are swung more wild

Housekeeping a Business.

When housekeeping is carried
on as business it becomes reali.
ty. Half the homes are wanting
in attraction because the work that
makes them beautiful is considered
Il drudgery. When business man
proves himself successful, the sup
position is that he has known more
or less drudgerv in attaining
prosperous position. A little hu-
initiation, rightly used, and we are
elevated. Having in charge a
home, let it be a business to make
it Il success. Whether rich or poor
the call is the same. Make the
best of opportunities. Begin by
mastering each department; if you
stoop, stoop to conquer. Take as
much delight in your calling as
your husband or your brothers take
in theirs.-Housekeepsr,

The Unitef States needs more
sheep. In an parts of this great
country to secure health aud com.
fort, its people must have food and
clothing. The sheep furnishes the
best and most wholesale animal

clothing yet tested by the masses
OF our people. In malarial dis
tricts, especially those where the
extremes OF h'eat and cold are fre.
qucnt, WOODEN clothing and a freer
and more common diet of good
mutton would insure better health
and more vigor than generally
characterizes pork eaterS and the
wearers of cotton and fine linen.
From the best data within our
reach we ascertain that there are
on the entire glob about 500,000,-
900 sheep. OF the United States
have but about 35,O00,0eO. Our
manufactures consume annually
more than 225, 100000 pounds of
wool. If each of our sheep furn-
ished five pounds of wool, there
would yet be a yearly deficit of
59.O0O,OO0 ponnds.
Here is Il good field tor ehterpri-

We hope that every farmer who
