Tie Temperance Cause.

In Arkansas the cause OF temper.
ance is gaining ground-in num-
bers, influential advocates, and in
all the elements essential to the sue
ccssiul triumph Of noble cause.
The temperance people ask and in
sist upon protective legislation.
Many are contending for direct
prohibitory liquor law, to become
a part of our Organic law, and none
will be satisfied without the enact
ment ofar efficiently restrictive law
upon the subject. The appeal is
now made to the General Assem-
bly, for protection. In this the tenn
pcrancc people are respectfully Ge-
manding n recognition of their
cause, and they feel sanguine, that
their usc,-thc cause Of truth,
right, ana humanity;-wiII prevail.
If the present Legislature ignores
altogether the demand for prohibi-
tory legislation or the submission
to the people OF prohibItory con
stitutional amendment, it will by
that act become Il participant in the
Inauguration of Il lively and divid-
ing party issue in the next State
election. So we honestly view the
matter nrospcctlyely, without any
desire whatever 10 witness what we
conliugcrtly predict. We are far
from WIs' ing to sec Temperance
or Prohibition party in this State,
bat. the incip!cut Signs OF its neccs-
sity nre, sc fear, becoming evident,
and W. hope the necessity may BE-
0bviat,l ia due time Patriotism
is not necessarily loyalty to party.
There are thousands OF patriotic
ciuzcus ~ Arkansas, who viii not
be driven 10y "party lash " in,o the
support Of men, who by their exam.
pie on Official acts oppose the ca Sc
OF temperance, and while they are
not dcslrous 10 make their cause an
issue IN the poliucs of our State,
they are determined 10 make it such
when lis necessity becomes a con
scjcu,ious duty. When the issue is
brought before tie whole people,
il it must he brought, the cause Of.
temperance and prohibition will be
uiumphant.-Scarcy Beacon.

OF The two great evils which ai
ficts whiskey and the
festive pistol-thc latter has rcceIv-
ed ample recognition at the hands
OF the lower house of the general
assembly ; but without sweeping
law in regard to the pistol toters'
strong ally, whisky, the law will
be as impotent as before. The pen.
atty is increased as TO fine and Il
short Imprisonment added, which,
facetiously remarks the Little Rock
Gazette, "atlixes the stamp OF dis
grace, and causes respectable men
to lay aside the hp pocket artilc-
ry." The fact is, so far us the re-
spectacle men are concerned, there
is no particular need of a law TO
force them to lay aside their hip
pocket artillery. They are not the
class ofpeopIc IN whose hip pocket
pistols are dangerous and If ever
they are seen with Il pistol it Is
when they have good reason TO be-
lievc themselves ia danger from

have no terror Tho great evil

Storing Apples.

Apples never sweat, but moisture con-
denses on them as dew upon grass. Fruit
should be carefully gathered as soon as ripe,
when the weather is dry and warm should
never be handled when wet, and must not
be bruised or chafed in the least The
natural waxy secretion found on fruit is a
protection against the effects of moisture
and air; when the skin is deprived of this
protection or is broken by pressure, or ev-
en- by a puncture of pin (made in label
ling fruit at our fairs, as is often done,) the
oxygen of the air will attain access to the
juices of the fruit, and fermentation and de-
cay will result. Gathered as above descrlb-
ed and carried directly to the cellar when
the fruit is warm and dry, and packed in
barrels on bins, the atmosphere being cool,
the vapor in it will not condense and no
dew will be seen on the fruit, as will be the
case when apples are cooler than the cellar
air. Forty years ago or more thus stored
eight barrels of Roxbury Russets in my Gel
lar as soon as gathered, and laid the barrels
on the bilge, and when opened on the Sth
of July not an apple was specked, while the
remainder gathered in an ordinary way,
barreled and stored in the barn (as was then
said ito sweat'') during the changes of heat
in November till cold weather, and then
stored in cellar, rotted badly by the middle
of May i Er.

4 Word Of Caution.

The hay crop which was gathered by our
Maine farmers the past season. proves to be
one Of greater value than any previous year S
harvest. As general rule the aggregate
value of an abundant crop is less in proper
tion than when the yield is smaller, on &C
count of the low price which usually follows
great harvest. as is the case Of apples the
present year. But the short crop of hay in
other States has reversed the usual order of
things here, for while there were probably
more tons grown in the State than in any
previous year. the price per ton in all parts
of the State convenient 10 railway lines and
shipping, was never higher. We learn that
immense quantities of hay are being baled
and shipped at accessible points, bringing in
a large amount of ready cash into the State
which will be of great present benefit, not
only to the farmers themselves but to all
classes.
But when such high prices are paid for
hay the temptation is great for the farmer
to spare himself Short, and it is upon this
point that We wish to give a word of eau
ton. The farmer who is sorely tempted to
sell too much hay on account of the high
price. may satisfy his conscience correspon-
dinghy by reducing his stock This is well
from human standpoint, but how about
keeping up the fertility Of the farm ? Is this
not another way of killing the goose that
lays the golden egg You will procure
commercial manures ? There is TO artificial
fertilizer that can exactly supply the place
of the dung of domestic animals in keeping
the farm in proper condition. There MAY
be temporary benefit, especially to one
owing money, in sparing himself short OF
hay and reducing farm stock to correspond.
but such course is quite certain to prove
damaging in the end. because it seriously
impalrs the producing capacity Of the farm
which is the farmers stock in trade. We
believe in majority of cases, il would be
better for the farmer who has surplus Of
hay, to increase his stock, than to sell his
hay.
The high price of hay as compared with
other feeding stutis, affords the farmer a
chance to dispose of some of his hay and
invest the proceeds in more concentrated
food, and this he can do at excellent ad-
vantage now when corn, shorts, cotton seed
meal and other concentrated feeds are COM
paratlvely low. 4 ton of hay will now
bring a third more than its own feeding
value IN corn or cotton seed, and the differ
ence If the exchange is made, is so much net
profit, and this is the only way that real
profit can be made by selling hay off the
farm. There is great demand for hay by
non-producers and this demand must be
supplied from some source. and there i, no
other source but the farm where it is pro-
duced. But the selling of hay will not and
should not diminish the amount of stock
kept on the farm The fate of farm from
which the hay is constantly sold and no
compensation made TO the soil, is easily
forecast; II is only question of time, and
the time will depend on the condition Of the
land when the exhaustion process was COM
menced. Maine Farmer.

AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
Tragic Ending of the Life of Medical
Student.

Tragic EHulnS OF tne Lie Oh MeU]Cdl
Student.
DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 1.-Two women pre-
tending to hail from Detroit, visited Ann Ar
Dor last night and stopped at hotel. During
the evening they were visited by a student in
the pharmacy department of the State uniyer-
sity, and the three remained in the parlor till
quite late, playing cards. Towards midnight
high words were heard between the parties
and one woman, giving her name as Mrs. V.
e. Leighton, charged the student, whose name
is Henry A. Fairbanks, of Pc
trolia, Ont, with being her husband,
but being to proud to acknowledge
the fact Fairbanks put his hand in his pocket
as if to draw revolver, when the women fled
from the room. In moment after q shot
was heard and employees of the hotel running
in found Fairbanks lying on the floor shot in
the head. He died in a few moments. At the
inquest held this afternoon the fact of prede-
termined suicide seemed to be established, as a
letter was found his pocket addressed to law
yer in AnnArbor asking him to request person
named, living in Petrolia, to break the news to
his father. The woman, Leighton, refused to
say anything except deceased was her husband.
