We give this morning

$nopsis of the last annual mes
sage of Mr.. Hayes to Congress.
1t is a little singular that when
the returns from the different
Statesh convinced Mr.. Hayes
that he was defeated, his great
est anxiety was for the poor col
ored men of the South. When,
however, he found himself in
stalled in the presidential chair,
his solitude was greatly abatcd,
and hisa,iministration has been
blamed by the colored people
for it's want Of attention to their
claims. IN going out of power
he again displays his anxiety
in regard to tllen', and makes
assertions in reference to their
treatment in the South, certain
Nv without the least evidence
which ought to be at hand. to
sustain such changes, in q doc
umcnto fsuch otlicialimportance
as q message to Congress by
the President Of tho United
States.
Charges of interference with
the rights Of voters have
been denied as emphatically as
they have been made, and Il
person occupying so exalted a
nosition as that Of President or
the United States, is not justl-
fable in making an assertion
affecting a section of the com.
try. without absolute proof.
Election frauds have been free
lv charged, but not in the South
alone In New York, in Ohio,
in Indiana, in Maine, and even
in the metropolis of the Key
stone State, these charges have
been made. Not only frauds
have been alleged, but intlmi-
dation has been coupled with
the charges Of fraud. We III
the South have not proofto JUS
tify us in asserting the truth OF
these charges, but the presump-
ton is equally as great as that
upon which the President OF
the United States bases his ac-
cusations against the Southern
| States. 1t does seem to us thai

a patent vamp-folding machine, which
neatly and rapidly turns the edge of the
vamp, leaving a neat and finished ap-
pearance, instead of raw edge; heel
securing and sand-papering machines
are made in every variety; stamping ma

and are always ready to adopt any new
thing that has actual merit, and the
shoe factories of to-day present a
marked contrast with those of former
years.

Wonderful sagaclty Of a Dog.

The story of dogs sagacitv is inter
esting to all admirers of animals. The
following one is strictly true: About
twenty-five years ago an extraordinary
war was waged against the canine in.
habitants of Portsmouth, and a great
number died by poisoned food thrown
into the streets. A gentleman who
owned II highly-prized pointer, fearing
that his dog might also become a, vic
tim, determined to send him out OF
reach of the danger. He therefore gave
him to Captain Heman Eldredge, OF tho
New York Packet Company, who took
the dog to New York on board his YES.
sci. There he was sold to gentleman
who admired his remarkable beauty and
intelligence, The purchaser carried the
dog TO his residences on Staten Island,
and tied him in his yard, inclosed by a
seven-foot fence, where he was fed anC
petted to make him happy. The gen.
tleman was surprised the next morning
when he found that Bruno had gnawed
of his rope, cleared the fence and es.
capped. Not being willing to part with
his newly-acquired property so sudden
ly, he went Immediately to New York,
and hastened to Coenties Slip to Cap.
tain Eldredge but the vessel had sailed
for Portsmouth. He then went into the
office of Stark Lewis, agent Of the pack
ct company, and askedif anybody there
had seen the dog He was informed
that Bruno had been there and about
the wharf early in the morning, but had
not been seen there for an hour or two
The gentleman reluctantly gave up tho
search, and thinking he had lost his
dog, returned to his home. His aston
ishment was great, however, when
upon entering his stable-yard, he saw
Bruno cOntentedly gnawing a bone at
the kennel door, The dog greeted him
with that respectful and submissive ain
which all well-bred dogs assume when
welcoming their masters home. Bruno
did not tell what difficulties he enooun
tered in his attempt to return to his old
home and master. 1t was, however, no
easy task for strange dog to traverse
the streets of New York, and obtain
passage to Staten Island on the ferry
boats, unaccompanied by any humnn
protector and without a single penny
in his pocket to pay his fares. Bruno's
purpose in running away from Staten
Island was to take passage back to his
Portsmouth home in the vessel which
carried him away. Finding the vessel
had sailed, he returned, like a sagacious
dog that he was, well knowing that if
he did not claim the protection of his
last master he would be in the pitiAble
condition of lost dog. And yet there
are those who deny that animals have
reasoning powers. Portsmouth (M H)

Profits Of Bee. KeepInp.

When this branch of industry is prac,
ticed in a careful and intelligent man,
ner there is no ordinary business withid
the scope of my experience that re-
munerates as satisfactorily as bee-keep-
ing. Good luck' is good, intelligent
management, and "bad luck is the
reverse. Many a person invests in q
swarm of bees, expecting it to make his
fortune. He is ignorant of their wants
neglects them, except to rob them Of
their honey, and perhaps destroy the
queen. They dwindle, grow less, motl
or robbers attack them, the colony dis
appears, and the owner curses the bust
ness as a bad speculation. With propef
care and intelligent management, one
year with another, bees will average al
increase Of one hundred per cent clear
of expense. The surplus honey viii
pay for the hives and care, and with in.
genious finessing one may make from
two to four and sometimes ten or 4
dozen colonies from one, it being strong
and having prolific queen.
Besides fair increase of bees, in
stances are not rare where one hundred
and more pounds of surplus honey per
hive have been taken in a season from
each colony. The business is easy and
interesting, and may be performed by
women, or even by children who have
aptitude and taste for it.-Rardl Neg
Yorker.

The Western Man.

He is the Unsuitable mover. With
him it is always the first of May. He
is the historical character who never
sleeps twice in the same bed. He al
ways builds his house to sell. When it
is finished, that is the signal for him to
move. His ancestors must bury them
selves, his posterity are heirs of the
future. He has. time neither to inherit
nor to make his will. 1t is always in
his plan to settle down, but never in the
place where he is. He pays his debts
by incurring new ones. He is the great
laborer and hardship-endurer of the
nineteenth century. But he always ex-
poets to reach spot tomorrow where
he will have nothing to do. Almost
within the memory of men now living,
the Western Man has passed the Allan
tic slopes, flowed over the table-lands
and prairies of the interior, crossed the
Mississippi, laid highways over the
plains, seized and possessed the Rocky
Mountains, honey-combed the Sierras
with his drills and sluices, made a gar
den of California, and occupied all the
Pacific coast between thirty degrees of
latitude.
The Western Man, you perceive, has
reached his limit. If he goes a step
further he becomes an Oriental. He
would not violate his restless character
If he took this step and began over
again his circuit of the globe. But /
think he will not do it, not for some
centuries at least. You may say for
the moment that there is no Western
Man. For the first time in the history
of the world he has come to a place
where he must stay his march, where
he must rest. For the first time in his
tory he has the opportunity forced upon
him to develop himself, to let the
world see what manner of man he will
become when he is stationary. He is,
so to say, turned back on himself.
There is no other outlet for his SUPER
abundant energy except in his self
development. He has nowhere else to
go. There is nothing for him to do
but to grow. The interest of this ex-
pertinent is its absolute novelty. 1t is
a situation in human affairs which we
have scarcely as yet begun TO compre-
hend. There are two points of interest
what the world will be henceforth,
what course history will take, what the
race will do without its primeval escape-
valve in the Western Man, is one thing;
what the Western Man himself will be,
come, forced to stop and grow like
tree, instead of running like cucum-
ber-vine, is another thing.
Fortunately he has stopped in a good
place. He has room enough to spread
himself. He has no neighbors-at
least none whom he cannot gently
persuade to depart into another world.
The resources at his command are sim
ply unparalleled There has been
nothing invented or discovered in all
time that he has not at hand His de-
sires can scarcely go beyond his oppor-
tunitiesi and it is saying all that can be
said of his opportunities. that they are
only excelled by his opinion OF his
deserts. He is planted on a soil which
is bottomless. He is the first man in
history who has ever had enough TO
eat. And now he has leisure TO eat, TO
grow, to possess life. Charles Dudley
Warner, in SoribHer'S.

--Hawley, Pa, is building great silk
mills which are to employ 1000 hands.
The main building is to be 450f long,
l5O feet broad and five stories high. a
splendid stream of water will furnish
the power, and it is expected that more
silk, and of finer quality, will be turned
out by this mill than at any other in the
United States.
The threshing-machine was first in
vented by Andrew Meikle, of Tyning-
ham, East Latham, Scotland, in 1886.
1t is true that attempts had been made
by Members in 1882 and Stirling in
l758, but they proceeded on a wrong
principle, and were abandoned. In
1928 Samuel Lane, of Maine, U. S. A.,
combined the reaper and thresher.
The United States are said to con-
sumo more raisins than all Europe.

The Wonderful Improvements In Boot
aud Shoe Machinery.

The Shoe and Leather ReDOrter thus
sums up the labor-saying appliances
which have been introduced into the
boot and shoe manufacture within a
few years. To enter into detailed de-
scription, remarks the editor, OF these
labor-saving devices would be an al
most endless task, but general idea
can bo gained from the following:
Among the latest inventions is the hy-
draulic shoe press, with which AN OPP
orator can sole 700 pairs of shoes per
day. Next comes the beating-out ma
chine, which is most necessary adj
iunct to II large shoe factory. Then
comes several designs in power ma
chimes for trimming and planning the
edges of soles of shoes. each doing the
work of three men, and better than by
hand. Next comes the sowing welt or
turn machine, making a shoe as pliable
and comfortable as one hand.sewed,
and Il is hard to detect any difference,
one machine being capable of making
l20 pairs a day. Again, there is pro-
ducod lasting machine, whose work is
simply perfect and wonderful Then
we have y new welt shoe machine, or
a'd 70 hand sewing, which pricks the
holes and trims the sole, ready for the
worlmen to simply put in the stitches,
making the boot or shoe a hand-sewed
shoe in every essential particular. Then
the numerous wax and dry-thread sew
ing machines come in, adapted for every
variety of work, from the finest French
KID or velvet embroidered slipper to the
