How to Get Rich.

Everybody wants to get rich. Almost
anybody can become rich if he Likes to
apply himself to the matter. TIE
trouble is that every one wants to get
rich at once and without exertion. Many
seek to do this by speculation. If a
person had obtained control of 100000
bushels of wheat on Saturday last, which
could have been done by putting up
margin of one cent per bushel, he would
have made $1,000 by Monday, and would
have received back his margin less the
brokers' commission. This would be a
reasonable profit for days work at
doing nothing. If he held on till Tues
day 81, 900 of his profit would have been
wiped out, and probably by tomorrow
he would have lost his margin and every
thing else beside. Still people only
look on the gaining side of the matter,
and thousands are striving to get rich in
this way. One out Of every thousand
viii probably succeed. A gentleman Of
Detroit, who is worth over $780, 900,
gives his experience in getting rich, and
the beauty Of his plan is that 999 out Of
1000 can, by fair management, get rea-
sonably "wen of" while many will be-
come rich. He says: Young man, save
one-third Of your earnings. II you get
So week, pretend that you get only 81
and put away the other 81. On no ac-
count touch that reserve fund to spend
a cent Of it, but when it gets big enough
put it in 10-per-cent. mortgage. Ten
percent. mortgages, with frst-class
security, are not so hard to find as a per-
son might think. Add the interest to
the reserve fund and keep ON putting it
out on mortgages. This method is slow
but it is sure. "-Detrot Free Press.

HOME LIFE.
MENTOR, Ohio, Dec. 16.-~Gen. Gar
| field finds much rest and recreation in
attending to the details of work on his
farm. Calling on him yesterday I
found him tramping about his fields in
a rough suit of cashmere, his pantaloons
tucked into his boots, and a SLOUGH hat,
ornamented with hayseed, protecting his
head. While the General was engaged
in inspecting his winter wheat, and OBJ
serving the condition of his cattle, Mrs.
Garfield was standing in the back-door
of the house giving directions to the
"hands about the shipment of dozen
barrels Of cider which she was sending
away to market. The scene led me to
make some inquiries in regard to Gen.
Garfeld's farm and farming, and the
facts elected may be interesting to
many readers.
The farm contains 155 acres, all under
cultivation, except few acres OF timber.
It lies twenty-five miles east of Cleve-
land, fronting on the old wagon road
from Cleveland to Buffalo. and the Lake
Shore railroad runs through it. The
soil is a rich, sandy loan, and Is very
productive. The fences are kept in good
repair, and are the best in the township.
When Gen. Garfield purchased the farm,
about eight years ago, there were eight
acres OF swamp land near the center OF
it, which were considered almost worth
less. The Generals knowledge of en-
gineering here came into practical use,
and, under mis- personal supervision, the
swamp was drained 1t is now very
valuable land. Besides the drains fur
nish a constant and abundant supply Of
pure water, which, by means of hy-
draulic ram, is forced up to the elevated
site of the mouse and barns, where it is
used. The very simple and inexpensive
provement.- which might be adopted
with advantage by many farmers.
When Gen. Garfield made this i'm
provement it was much talked about
among the farmers in this vicinity, and
many visitors came to see if. One old
farmer in Geauga county heard of the
hydraulic ram, but got wrong idea of
its nature. He came to see the General
one day, and said /: "Gen'ral, I'm told
you hev hy-what dye call it ply

Nearly A Riot.

The zeal of some of our local
politicians in the interest of their
respective friends and aspirants
for the Office OF Sheriff and Collec.
tor, came very near ending in a
serious affair last Thursday morn
ing. The trouble arose ont Of an
assertion made by Mr.. G. W.
Thomson to the effect that Sheriff
Haskins neglected to serve papers
Summons } in the case of the
State VS.. w. V. Dean for murder
and thus secured his release. This
assertion was repeated to Mr.. Has
kins and Mr.. Robert Dean, Depu-
ty, who, instead of referring the
matter to the records, which would
show the true status Of the matter
in controversy, denounced the
statement IN tho bltterest terms,
and threatening to kill Thomson
on sight if he didn't retract. Curses,
loud and deep, were bclched forth,
and the citizens were IN terror lost
some deed Of blood should be en-
acted. The next morning, Thurs
day, the parties met, Mr.. Thomson,
having been iorewarned, was fore.
armed with a double barrel gun,
and when asked by Mr.. Dean to
explain what be had sand, promised
his remarks by saying he took
back nothing hp had said" that he
would get on tho platform and re.
peat what he had SAID, with this he
got on the platform in front of the
Reading Room and was explaining
what he had said, when Mr.. Has
kins came across from the direction
OF Mr.. j. Il. Drivers wood nile
and drawing his pistol invited
Thomson to shoot, that ho was
ready for him, or something to
that effect, Bob. Dean, who was
near Thomson, seized his gun and
placed himself in such q position
that Haskins could not shoot
when Others quickly came
up and they were disarmec
and separated before mucl
harm was done; but from the
amount and number of arms dis
played by both parties and theil
ir ends, the scene for short timt
had u very warliko appearance
We are glad to add that the coun
sci of cooler heads prevailed ani
the affair dropped. Cool, sober re
6ection will no doubt show up tn,
absurdity of the action Of all en-
gagged in this, to say the least, ugly
affair.
