GRANpFArHER's LANE.-My grandfa-
TIERS lane was overhung by stalwart elms
and naples. just at its entrance was u
bubbling spring, whose waters trlckled
down by the wayside through beds OF
vioets and wild flag. The lane itself was
fenced in by stone wall, in my day
tumbled by frost and fretted with moss
It's turf was like velvet. Two deep wheel
ruts. the wear of years, ran through it. in
and out of which the family chaise bounc-
ed rollickingly, for horses were sure to
prick up their ears and quicken their pace
wheu they shifted the cool spring. You
know that pleasant sound when, upon
turning from the hard highway. their
hoofs struck the porous soil. AT the lane
father end was n gate, huge, uprlgh'
beam, uncouth, clumsy, and slow to move
on its hinges,-apt to sag.-plowlng E

RAINwATER AND WELLs.-I wish to say
"A few words about filtered rainwater. All
the filtered rainwater | know of is filtered
through charcoal filter, and the water is
caught in stone cisterns. There is nothing
in the water before tiltering but wht t
comes off the roofs, such as leaves, fruit
blossoms dust, etc; after tiltering 1t is
clear, with not the least smell, and it is
pleasant to the taste. have never seen
chemical test applied. The fact about our
wells is they are not near as good rs they
were fifty years ago Then angleworms
were scarce. Only in few places could
they be found for fish bait. Now there
are mvriads everywhere, and 1t Is nearly
impossible to keep them out of wells.
Then water was drawn from wells in buck
cts from the surface. and living things
which included everything from gosIings
to children-were tished out. Now nearly
all use pumps, which get the water from
the bottom, where the angleworms are,
and unless there is a large amount of wa
ter used it smells bad. The wells, too,
are covered with platform which is gen
orally in II bad state of repair, and scarcely
any of them will keep out angeworms or
; liquid impurities.
And all are so charitable to their own
well. have seen half grown kitten
taken from a we'll in a bloated condition,
I aud the family kept on using water from
l II without cleaning it QUIT was such
5 good well. knew n great lubber OF
4 fellow 90 through one of the chronic plat
forms and founder around until ladder
was hunted up to get him out, and the
: family kept on using the water as If
l. nothing had happened. knew one well
h that was really disabled for day or two.
d A well near Holey began to be criticised,
n until finally some one looked through a
g hole in the platform, and found fellow
.e that had been missing for some time,
e which accounted for the strange taste the
is water had. He was moist and unpleas-
is ant, t,"-like Dickens character in Nicholas
.e Nickeby-and had there been an unimlt-
+, ed amount of water instead of small
Ii supply. he would have been there yet,
IN suppose. If all the things that get in these
lie covered wells were enumerated, it woul1
d. make as many volumes as any OF the en-
We cycopedas. And these are the g good
ne wells. or rs good as the average. My bus
a mess calls me from home much, and
4y have to drink from these wells OF 90 thirs

it THAT there is nothing from without

The majority of people do not have any
opinions They have simply notions,
impressions, sentiments, feelings; they
have prejudices a desire to see this thing
prevail or that. But how many men are
there that concerning any great problems
of the world, have earned the right to say
that they have an opinionP How many
men are there that have studied the qles,
ton. that have weighed opposing cl' inns
and probabilities and testimony, so tnat
their opinion is worth the breath it takes
to utter it? There are thousands of
people who are like looking glasses; they
have shadow of whatever happens to be
standing before them. They have an
opinion so long as they are talking with
some positive person who believes some
thing, but let that person 60 away ana II
is ready for another track.-M. j. Savage.

That "Ohio man" is getting decid-
edly saucy as we'll as numerous. Ev-
identity the idea has taken possession
of him that no outsiders have any
rights which ne is bound to respect.-.
Witness the cool manner in which the
"claims" of Mr.. Campbell, of Wheel
ing, are thrust aside by the gentlemen
running the embryo kitchen cabinet
at Mentor. 1t 10 brusquely stated that
Mr. Campbell, who was the one man
at Chicago who openly showed that he
didn't oate continental for all the
COnklings in this or any other country
need expect nothing from Mr.. Gar
field precisely on that account. Ii
other words, notice is given that the
President-elect proposes to "ooncili-
ate" his former worst foes by sacrifc
ing his best friends. This may b.
statesmanship-in Ohio, but if Mr..
Garfield undertakes to carry it out b,
will live to regret the day he did no
squelch that Mentor syndicate befor,
it drew a dozen breaths.

THE BAYAnp- -ooNxLrHe AFrAIR.--
The Philadelphis Press devotss two
colums and shslf TO an effort 70 prove
that Senator Baysrd did use the words
charged upon him IN his speech at
Dover. In this effort what purPcrts to be
an afiidavit Of James L. Andem, steno-
grAphsr, appears. II was sworn 10 in
Washington. November 24th. There
are also letters from DR.. Isaac Jump,
wn. Lyshion and r. y. CLARK, address
cd 10 the Editor Of the Press, In which
writer's and signers say they heard the
words, "Thsy took from that mans
pocket IN one sum. 100000 in money
and divided It among themselves"
There Are also two letters addressed to
Hon. Roscoe Cenkling, Utica, N. x.
One aligned BY Thomas 3. Harper, Isaac
Jump, Wilson l.. Cannon, W. b. Wal
lace and John 81. Klisglsr. The second
is signed BY Vim. II. Cahoon. WIN. II.
Mills, s. d, McDonigAl, M. Hayes, J.
}. Green and VIM. T. Butler. W q
What strikes US a. exceedingly cur
ioas is the fact that these gentlemen
are 20 persistently dssircus Of proving
that Senator Bayard said what he
says he did not utter, without making
a single effort or uttsring word to
prove that Mr.. Conkling and his 90
partners IN the divide did not take
this money. The effort does not seem
10 be to clear Messrs. Arthur, Conk-
ling, Boutwell, and Davis, Of doing the
act the very mention Of which seems
to amsse them, but only to prove that
so eminent . person ~ Senator Bay
ard has stated 1t as \ fact Of which he
said he had knowledge" Now, II
this IL really the case does it not rest
on these gentlemen and their friends to
prove that no money was taken from
Phelps, Dodge d Co. and divided.

A STRANGE DEATH.

Ludwick Larsen, about 80 years
of age, was killing hogs in West
Deborah, Iowa, and went into his
pen with hatchet and a butcher
knife in his hand, intending to knock
down hog with the hatchet and
aftsrward cut its throat with knife.
He struck the hog but failed to
knock 1t down, and attempted to
strike it again, when he slipped and
fell upon the point of the knife
which was in his hand, and which
pierced the jugular vein, the blood
from which flowed out in a fierce
torrent. He died in about two
hours.
