The attention of farmers is respect
fully called to the Warren Sulky
Plow Attachment, manufactured by
Joseph Stephens, of River Falls. This
Attachment is a model of simplicity,
strength and durability, will hold
right or left hand, steel, iron or wood
beam, new or old plows of any size.
1t does not increase the labor OF the
team, and can be handled by twelve
year-old hoy. It is particularly eff
cient i'll covering stubble, corn stalks
and tall weeds. Mr.. Stephens has one
hundred of these attachments now in
process of construction which will be
ready for the fall trade. A careful
examination will convince any one of
the practical utility of the attachment.
No farmer can afford to be without
one.
Mr.. Stephens also manufactures
crossing plows, of various sizes, UNI
surpassed and rarely equaled by any
other make, which he sells at very
reasonable prices. Ills plows are
made of the best material throughout,
strongly put together, and will last
In addition to his own manufac-
lures, Mr.. Stephens also keeps on
hand the celebrated Fish Bros. & Co.'S
wagons, of Racine, and the Kappel
wagons, of Red Wing, MINI. These
wagons are regarded among the best,
and are fast attaining Il reputation of
being 1.-THE most popular in use. "
Any one who contemplates purchasing
should be sure and call before buying
elsewhere.
Mr.. Stephens is doing quite an
extensive business in the manufacture
ing line, and as all of his wares are
unsurpassed for dura bility and effec
tiveness, our people should lend him
encouragement by a liberal patronage,
and thus help an enterprise that will
materially benefit our village. As a
straight forward business man he
stands among the foremost, and justly
merits what his interests demand.

DISPATCHES from Washington indi-
cate that President Arthur will give
the country a stalwart administration,
as Grant and Conkling appear to have
taken the place of Garfield's cabinet
as his advisers. There is no reason
able doubt that the next few months
will witness a reorganization of the
cabinet, and it is equally certain that
the new cabinet will be composed of
members of the stalwart crowd that
was so heavily sat down upon in the
Chicago Convention.

What Was the Dialect I

II you don't know how to say in for
oign tongue what you want to say, don t
say you don't know what. Not few
Americans have been mortified, while
airing their bad French in Pmisinn
store, 10 hear the polite clerk say:
Monsicurwill pardon me, but Iunder-
stand English.
A story told Of Representative Orth, Of
Indiana, illustrates the expediency of
observing the above advice. lie is of
German descent and is proud of his
ability to speak the German language.
Some yc0ss ago he was appointed
United States Minister at Vienna. When
he was presented at court, thinking to
pay a delicate compliment to the EN-
peror of Austria, he delivered his official
address in German. The Minister cred
tied himself with having done his part
well. But there are always two impress
sions made by an address-that made on
the speaker himself, and that on the
nearer.
A few days after Mr.. Orth's linguistic
success, an American gentleman of high
position was presented to the Emperor.
His Majesty alluded to Mr.. Orth in COM
plimentary terms, ho asked:
:" In what dialect did Mr.. Orth deliver
his address? / know, OF course, that it
was not English, and thought that |

tongue in some Of the words. YOUTHS

Many years ago young man made his
appearance in Stratford, and passed o
few weeks at the tavern which then
existed to afford shelter to stage-coach
travellers. Whence he came, and what
was his business, none could guess.
Directly opposite the tavern stood the
small cottage and forge of q blacksmith
named Folsom. He had q daughter
who was the beauty Of the village, and
it was her fortune TO captiyatG the heart
Of the young stranger. He told his love,
said he was travelling iRcOg,j but, in con-
hdeuce gave her his real name, saying
that he was heir to a large fortune. She
returned his love, and they were married

Where Cattle Plaques Begin.

have proved that the diseases found their
origin in filth. Such plaques are always
to he feared. Bad food impoverishos tho
blood of the stock, while the poisonous
emanntions Of the filth, which also has Oh
injurious effect when absorbed by the
physiques continually in contact with it,
complete the work, and the general dele
FERROUS influences finally localize them
selves in some organ Of the animals that
survive at all. The causes Of cattle
plaques are exactly analogous to those Of
cholera and other human scourges, and
their effects. when they attain to conta-
gion or infection, are similarly unsparing

Education in India,

India is often regarded as a country
plunged in the darkness Of heathenism
and ignorance. So it is, but not to the
extent generally supposed. There are
5000 schools and colleges in India, with
al attendance of l, 900, 900. The natives
prove themselves very proficient in
languages-indeed, Lord Northbrook
once said that very few European for
eigners could speak English as we'll as il
was spoken by tho natives of India.
Scientific education in India chiefly con.
sists of instruction in medical science
and civil engineering, and in both
branches great success has been at
tanned. The medical colleges have sent
out a great number of thoroughly com.
petent native surgeons and physicians.
There is little technical teaching given
in India. The natives are said TO have
retentive memories and expansive I'M
aginations, but not sufficient steadiness
and maturity OF thought. Theysubcrd.
mate their reason TO their Imagination.
Girls schools for all classes are being
established.
