[ ACKNOWLEDGE the Corn.

This is the origin of the phrase 81 ac-
knowledge the corn" In 1928 Mr..
Stewart, member of congress, said in
a speech that Ohio, Kentucky and In
diana sent their hay-stacks, corn-fields
and fodder to New York and Philadel.
phia for sale. Mr.. Wickliffe, of Ken
lucky, called him to order, declaring
that those states did not send hay
stacks or corn-fields to New York for
sale. "Well, what do you send?'
asked Stewart. "Why, horses, mules,
cattle and hogs "Well, what makes
your horses, mules, cattle and hogs q?
You feed one hundred dollars worth of
hay to a horse. You just animate and
get on top of your hay-stack and ride
off to market. How is it about your
cattleP You make one of them carry
fifty dollars worth of hay or grass to
the Eastern market. How much corn
does it take, at thirty-three cents o
bushel, to fatten hogp "Why, thir-
ty bushels Then, you put thirty
bushels into the shape of a hog and
make it walk off to the Eastern mar
ket.' Then Mr.. Wickliffe jumped up
and said: "Mr. Speaker, ! acllnowi-
edge the corn"

The cant phrase still current in
many parts of the union, "Chalk your
hat" is said to have had its origin in a
literal illustration of the words. "Ad-
miral' Reside was the owner Of vari-
Gus lines of stage coaches in the days
before railroads. He spent much of
his time in Washington, where indeed
he lived for several years, At the an
nual adjournment Of congress he would
pass his friends of the house and SEN
ate-he was well acquainted with all
the prominent politicians of his era
over any stage line he controlled. He
would say to an Ohioan or Kentuckian,
81 suppose you're going back to Gin
cinnati or Louisville, and i'll pass you
through by stage" When he was ask
ed "How?" he would reply, "Give me
your hat" He would take the hat,
make cabalistic chalk mark on it inn
possible to counterfeit, and return it
with the remark: "That will serve
your turn; any of my agents will re-
cognize that anywhere, and won't
receive a cent from the man whose hat
is so marked" Reside was right.
All his agents knew the mark at once.
The thing became so common that
some fellows tried to initiate it; but
they were invariably detected and CON-
PEELED either to leave the stage or pay
their fare. In the South and West
"Chalk your hat" still stands for what
the east styles dead-heading.

In all ceremonies there is Il great
deal in fashion; and it occurs to us that
if a few people of consequence would
set the example Of simplicity in mar
riage ceremonies, they would be doing
a great service to the community.
In many memorable instances the high
er classes have afforded noble exam
pie by leaving instructions that their
funerals should take place without
pomp or parade, and already we see the
good results which have followed, fu-
nerals among the middle classes being
as a rule much more simple than for
merly, and consequently, to our mind,
much more solemn. Births, deaths and
marriages, are three events of human
life usually classed together, and with
the statistician records, and the poll
tician notes; but marriage is the only
one of the three in which the chief
actors are voluntary and conscious
agents. Surely, it is the most solemn
act of man or woman, and, properly
considered, is little allied to pomp and
festivity. Think what it is to assume, in
a large measure, the responsibility, of
another's happiness and future well
being! And this is really what in mar.
riage we may be said to do. Surely, a
solemn, impressive ceremony with sim
plicity Of attire is more in harmony
with the occasion than much pagean'
try and festiyity; ....-.

Professor S. w. Johnson, director of
the Connecticut experiment station,
says: "a reading-book touching agri-
culture truly, is perhaps the easiest and
simplest means of putting farm science
into our primary schools. In addition
to our primary schools there must be
advanced schools of agriculture be-
tween the common school and college.
Our village and city schools are quite
as much interested in farm education,
with their annual increase of wild boys,
ignorant of the soil, as farmers them
selves are. No one will deny that the
American farmer of the future will
need systematic education for his
business. They may have already facts
enough, but they are not in systematic
order for use. We have had many
good farmers in spite of this vital
want, but all must agree that we have
for the coming time to winnow our
methods from chaff. We can best take
care of our commonwealth by leading
and teaching our youth to see the health,
wealth, responsibility and liberty wait
ing for them in u systematic, intelligent
culture Of the land"

Soundness OF Greenback Ideas,
10 National LIaw

iHN Nh'Ioh"' ''N"'
There is no better proof of the sound
ness of Greenback ideas than the pres
ent movement of the national banks.
That they meant to, and through their
agents could rule the legislation of the
country on all financial matters has
been so boldly demonstrated, that our
enemies have been obliged to take up
the cry against their power. How
much sincerity there is in Republican
or Democratic furore against national
banks we leave the people, whom
they seek to pacify, while they secretly
work for those same banking interests,
to Judge. While they vote for financial
measures in which banks have their
stronghold, and legislate in the inter
est Of monopolies which they them
selves have established and fed, it is
not difficult to gauge the soundness of
their protests against them.
The truth is that these astute politi-
clans see that the people are determined
to rid themselves of these monstrous
combinations. They find that the "lun-
itics" were indeed representing the
popular feeling in regard to bank rule,
monopolies and railroad corporations
and they feel themselves tottering in
the seats, where touting for these mon
sters has placed them. They toss
their hats and join the cry against
their owners, not because they love
banks less, but because they love votes
more. They have been forced to step
forward to the ground which Green
hackers have occupied for ten years,
and to steal the thunder whose echoes
they have derided, and whose execu-
ton they have sneered at. Let the
present exigency tide over, and like
Noah's neighbor, they will conclude

If is not going To be much of storm

at is not going to be much of a storm
after ALL" and we shall have no tangi-
BILE evidence of their fear of bank usur-
patton nor hear more of their shout
against monopoly. In fact their lead
ing papers already assert that they do
not really fear anything the banks can
do, but feel called upon to express an
opinion, 1t is a fact; they have had
II loud call from the people, which
they are wise as the serpent in needing.
Their old friends, the bankers, will
lind they are also as harmless as the
doves when it comes to any real action
against them.
We do not believe In the reality or
honesty of any sentiment which, hay
ing had knowledge of all the usurpa.
tion, all the oppression, all the danger
before them during the whole time of
their inception and growth, which year
after year legislated for and defended
them, delays all expression of indigna-
ton until the country has been reused
into knowledge of the dangers which
these same fostering hands have gather
ed around them. We do not believe in
their sincerity of opposition, when only
three months ago, from every stump,
in every newspaper, and from every
rOstrum rang their slander. their scorn
and their derision of the party whose
expressions even this short period have
proved to has been prophecies; and
whose earnest and determined men,
uttering warning and denunciation,
were called lunatics, communists, fools,
and advocates of financial scoundrel-
ism.
We do not believe them and woe to
the people if they allow themselves to
be Tapped into slumber by these pre-
tenders! No sirs, not essences of poppy
or mandragora can medicine us to that
sweet sleep which once we knew, until
from every place where they have set
their traitorOus and usurping foot, shall
bank rule, money rule, and corporation
power be driven by the scourge of
deceived and well-nigh ruined people.

APurpose inLife,

Carlyle once asked an Edinburg stu
dent-who tells the story in the Mil
waukee Sentinel-what he was study
ing for. The youth replied that he
had not quite made up his mind. There
was a sudden lightning fash Of the old
Scotchman's eye, sudden pulling down
of the shaggy eye brows, and the stern
face grew sterner as he said: 1.-THE
man without a. purpose Is like a ship
without rudder; a waif, nothing, a
no man. Have purpose in life, II 1t
is only to kill and divide and sell oxen
well, but have purpose; and having
1t, throw such strength Of mind and
music only in your work as God has
given YOU"

A SPRING SONG.

o Sprlng-time sweet!
Over the hills come thy lovely feet;
The earth's white mantle is cast away,
She clothes herself all in green to-day;
And the little flowers that hid from the
cold
Are springlng anew from the warm fresh
mold.
o Spring-time sweet!
The whole earth smiles thy coming to
Our hearts to their inmost depths are stir.
BY the first spring flower and the song of
the bird;
Our sweet, strange feelings no room can
find,
They wander like dreams through heart
and mind.
o Spring.time sweet
How the old and the new in thy soft hours
meet
The brightness and beauty that could not
last
Their fair ghosts rise with the ending of
snow
The spiing and the summers of long ago.
o Spring-time sweet!
How thou once vert dear and fair and
complete
No sweetness of words nor of music could
tell
The gladness that once made my bosom
swell;
And thou art not the same as the spring of
yOre,
For the beauty and blessings that come no
more.
o Spring-time sweet
With silent hope thy coming greet;
For all that in winter the bright earth lost
Doth rise, newborn, with the coming of
frost;
Even so shalt thou bring meat last, at
last
All the hope and the joy and the love of
the past.
From the German.

Petrifed Remains.

Pttllund lCal) Argus
Sonoma and adjacent counties appear
to be a perfect mine of interesting Gu
riositieS in the shape Of petrifactions
belonging both to the animal and veg
etable Kingdoms. What is the most re-
markable is the fact that these relics of
bygone ages are often found in the al
luvial deposits so near the surface of
the earth as to frequently be revealed
by the plow. We have before us pet
rifaction recently plowed up on the
ranch of Patrick Lawlor on the So
noma mountains, four or five miles
from this city, and at an altitude of
several hundred feet above the valley
or tide level. The specimen is the
head and neck of the .femer or thigh
bone of Il mastOdOn or some other
mammoth animal belonging to the pre-
historic period. 1t is a complete pet
rifaction nearly six inches in diameter
across the crown, and about seven
inches from apex of crown to base. II
weighs eight pounds. We have several
specimens of large bones found in this
vicinity, but this is the most perfect
petrifaction Of the kind that has come
under our notice. AS this was found
so near the surface, we doubt not thai
with but little labor other bones belong
ing to the same monster animal, o.
which this is a part can be found.
