Afghan and Bloch.

In all respects, particularly from
governing aspect, the Biloeh is infinite
" to be preferred to the Afghan.
Though physically inferior in bulk and
weight of body, he is the Afghan's
equal in courage., and his superior in
endurance and intelligence. One spe-
cially good trait in his character is that
he never suIks or bears maIIce long;
whereas the Afghan does both. Here
are Illustrations in point. 1 never re-
member having an Afghan whipped in
Jail without the fellow showing by his
sullen looks and scowling face that he
bore the striker, if not myself, grudge
for it. But here, in the Derah Ghazi
Khan JAIL. the punishment over, the
Bloch is as frank and pleasant as he
was before. One man., i remember.
who was in as a bad character, would
not work. He was warned that he
would be whipped. He merely laughed,
and said: .sThat won't make any
difference, sahib." He was shown
a man being whipped; he only looked
grave. Finally he was whipped him
self. He was taken out of his cell,
stripped naked, tied wrists and ankles
to the triangle, and given twenty or
thirty forget the exact number
strokes with n rattan. During The op-
Grafton he bit at the wood. bit almost
through his tongue, but never either
groaned or WINGED. The punishment
over, he threw himself on the ground on
his face, when the usual skin of cold
water was dashed over him, and then
the commiserating water carrier stood
upon the beaten parts to deaden the
pain. Still he would not work. saw
him day or two after in his cell, look
ing happy and unconcerned, thoughshe
must still have been very sore, and for
days would not be able to sit down. He
was pleased to see me- He seemed to
have an idea that not being in Jail
for any specific and proved offense,
it was not right to give him
hard labor, and so put him on
the level of q convicted felon. remon-
strated with him for his obstinacy, to no
effect One day observed his splendid
curls shining with oil or ghee. / asked
how he had got it. He had saved it
from his food, was the answer. i cut
his ghee; still no effect. At last, as his
example was becoming infectious, 1
warned him that if he would not work 1
should have him transferred to the
Multan Jail, where believe his Abb
salom-like hair would be cut short.
That threat frightened him-his ring
lets being the glory of the Bloch; he
said he would try to work. He made
a pretense of trying, and failing, was
sent of to. Multan, where l have no
doubt he is now, though prison-cropped,
as smiling and ight-hearted and do
nothing as he was here. Now, it is not
the Afghan nature to behave as that
Bloch did, and that Biloch's case. is
typical of others. Similarly circum-
stanced, the Afghan would have sulked,
worked, fallen i'll from fretting, and
some day after his release, perhaps,
killed the human instrument who had
beaten him.-BinchtCoodP s Mdqazine.

eft and convenience we ought, to avail
ourselves of the tonic and exhilar-
ating effects of such holiday.
Two hours on the lake on sultry day will
make q weak person stronger for several
days There is nothing like the purity
and refreshing qualities of the air away
from the dusty and sun scorched land.
You remember the sensations of exhilara-
ton and delight you have experienced in
sailing in fair weather, the fresh reality is
so stimulating, the views are so incom-
parably charming, the breeze is so life
giving, the waves TO the right of you are
so deeply, darkly, beautifully blue" and
to the left of you so like a silvery sea; as
if each ripple held sunbeam, and every
broken wave was mirror-an hour or
two of this is worth more than a week of
any other pleasure in locomotion.
We hope the w. & L. E. will become u
popular line for pleasure travel. Its route
is new to most of our people, and we need
what it can give in that line. A day off
occasionally makes better workers the rest
of the time. The farmers need the obser-
vations of such trip, their wives need the
sight of something besides the round of
housework. The Louise is going to make
daily trips between the ports of Black
River, Vermillion, Huron and Lakeside
every day during the Campmeeting-
from August Sd to the 14th, inclusive, and
all the country south and east of here as
well as between us and the lake may
quickly and easily reach Lakeside, and

CHIcAeo reports fifteen fatal cases OF
lock-jaw caused by wounds from toy pis-
tolls July 4th, three in the country, six in
Burlington, Iowa, and two in Peoria, Ill
1t seems not to be generally understood
that great majority of these cases result
from the poisonous paper cap of the toy
pistol, and not from those that carry ball
cartridges. a bullet wound is compare.
lively harmless, but these catch the flesh
under the hammer, making wound and
introducing the deadly poison of the cap
when ii is exploded. The deaths from this
cause this year have exceeded many times
all the deaths from fire arms all over the
United States. The sale of these and all
toy pistols has been prohibited in many
large cities, and ought to be in all. We
hope this explanation will prevent any
more being sold in Wellington, and that
dealers viii promptly tumble the stock on
hand into the ditch.

SINCE the publication of our paragraph
of last week with reference to grain
market in Wellington, we learn that 81. B.
Hamlin bought at his warehouse last sea-
son between 5000 and $1,000 bushels Of
wheat, and is prepared to do still better
this season. For the information of some
who have complained that Wellington
dealers did'not pay as high prices as those
in West Salem, we would state that Salem
is on railroad that has through connec.
tions East, while from this point grain has
to pass over two roads; besides, the Lake
Shore is less direct than than the n. Y
P. s. o. The difference in freight makes
all the difference in prices, and our dealers
are not, of course, responsible. We are
glad to know that we can still rely upon
Wellington enterprise to furnish a market
for everything our farmers can produce.

Slow But Sure.

The saying that farming is slow
business may as well be accepted, in
comparison with the stock-watering pos
sibilities of the cities, and that it is sure
is undoubtedly true, when contrasted
with the successful ventures of specula.
ton or the investments in commerce or
manufactures. We are repeatedly told
that it is the destiny of at least nineteen
in every twenty in mercantile life to fail
at least once. However, it is believed
in many cases to be withal a sweet and
profitable destiny. There are few alb
solute failures among farmers; not that
"crop failures" are unknown, for they
seem to occur almost annually, and are
naturally expected, and survived with
wonderful ease. Thousands of farmers
can figure out an absolute loss in tho
business, and at best can make two per
cent. interest the maximum of profit. yet
the fact remains that they occupy COM
Portable houses, entertain friends, drive
o span to town. raise and educate chill
dren, and increase gradually their taxa
BILE realty. Not that every man who
lives by the plow can accomplish all
this. Not every boy that learns trade
becomes a master mechanic, owns his
own house or amasses little compe-
tency.
With nearly 5000, 600 getting their
living from the land of the 16, 600, 600 of
workers in the United States, large
proportion on their own acres, is it rea-
sonable to compare the mass with the
select few who control our commerce or
operate large factoriesP There are
leading spirits, great organizers, in ag-
riculture as wei as in trade and manu-
factures. yet the multitude in these lat
ter callings are laborers, toilers in
crowded quarters by day, and subject to
the dangers of sewer gas and other i'm
pure air of cities by night, with whose
condition even farm laborers would not
be satisfied. But it is not proposed to
argue this vexed question over again.
Is agriculture safe businessP Yes, de-
cidedly. By the sweat of his brow the
bite, the winds wither, the sun scorches,
the waters drown, the insects deyour,
and mildews mysteriously blight. The
sower scatters the seed. not knowing
whether he will gather twenty or hun-
dred fold; he fertilizes, and secures the
larger crop from some unmanured sur
face; he expects leanness, and gets a fat
yield; he feels sure of large reward,
and reaps failure. Yet in the average
he garners fair return, and finds full
filed the promise that seed-time and
harvest shall not fail. So, with all this
fiuctuation and loss, the husbandman
finds his business the surest of all the
occupations Of earth.-M y Tribune.

Birds that have the liberty of the
orchard and lawn are not likely TO fear
the cold lead that may await them in the
cherry tree or the strawberry patch. But
they have wholesome respect for, and fear
of a cat, either Gagged or stuffed. Pussy
cannot be put to a better service than to
guard the small fruits in their season of
ripening. A writer in an old agricultural
journal says: "She may be confined by q
string in the strawberry patch, or in a
large bird-cage among the raspberries and
blackberries. a skin neatly STUFFED, in
the cherry tree, will frighten them away.
Their instinct teaches them to shun cer-
tain natural enemies. Keep these in
sight and your fruit is safe. What boy
would steal pears with a fierce bull dog
under the trees A birds instinct is as
good as u boys"

Gems from Our Reading.

Despotism may govern with religious
faith, but liberty cannot-DeToquevil
The belief in the moralizing effects of
intellectual culture, fatty contradicted by
facts, is absurd.-Herbert Spencer.
Another distinguished writer has said
with equal truthfulness, that 'lo educate
the mind of a bad man without correcting
his morals, is to put sword into the
hands of a maniac.
Mere intellectual training does not, of
necessity, inspire patriotism nor reduce
crime. The school-room may make more
crafty demagogue without making safer
citizen.-Fate of Republics.
Culture, untouched by religion, has no
redeeming power. Whenever culture of
intellect outstrips the culture Of conscience
disaster follows. Popular intelligence
with popular unbelief ends in popular
corruption"
Any system of school-training which
sharpens and strengthens the intellectual
powers without at the same time affording
source of restraint and counter-check to
their tendency to evil, by supplying moral
culture and religious principle, is curse
rather than blessing.-Victor Cousin.
If virtue and well-tempered soul be
not got and settled so as to keep out i'll
and vicious habits, languages and science
and all the other accomplishments of edu-
cation, will be to no purpose, but to make
the worse or more dangerous man--John
Locke.
"Let US with equal caution" says Wash
ington in his farewell address, Indulge
the supposition that morality can be OBJ
tanned without religion. Reason and ex.
perience both forbid us to expect that
national morality can prevail in exclusion
of religious principles
Daniel Webster, in his argument against
the Girard will, said: "In what age, by
what sect, when, where, by whom has re-
ligious truth been excluded from the edu.
cation of youth? No where!-Neverl
Everywhere and at all times has it been
regarded as essential"
Only short time since, the London
School Board sent circular to all the
teachers, asking them to give more atten.
ton to religious instruction. 1t says:
"The committee hope that during the
Bible lesson the teachers will keep this
object before them, and that every oppor.
tunity viii be used earnestly and sympa.
thetically to bring home to the minds OF
the children those moral and religious
principles on which the right conduct OF
their future lives must necessarily de
pend"

One Eject Of Pernicious Literature.

A gentleman passing through Stuy-
vesant Park, in New York, recognized
in an emaciated, ragged boy. asleep on
a bench. a lad whom he had seen as a
pupil at an academy at East Greenwich,
Mass. He reused him up, and the lad
proved to be Nathan Osborn, the son of
a wealthy widow living in Chelsea.
Several months ago, seduced by read
ing dime novels into the idea that he
could settle the Indian question. he had
abandoned his home and all the COM
forts of life in search of adventure. He
made his way to New Orleans, and from
thence went West, and, disheartened,
had returned to New York on cattle
trains. Osborn, after good breakfast.
gave himself up to the police, who tele-
graphed at once to his mother. He was
heartily ashamed of his conduct, and
said that he had got enough of running
away to last him all his life.

IT will be difficult to make candid and
honest temperance men see the propriety
of putting IN nomination Prohibition
candidate for Congress from this district
but there is no accounting for tastes, and
we give it up. We believe in advancing
temperance principles in every possible
way, but we have to confess we are not fan
enough advanced in the methods of pro
noting reforms to be able to see the wis
dom of the means used, and we are very
much mistaken if they do not hinder
rather than promote the object whose sue

"ADay on"

Wednesday the 26th ult, the officers of
the W. & l. E. r. R. had arranged to give
the citizens of Wellington, Norwalk and
the other towns between here and Huron
an opportunity of reaching Lakeside and
Putin-Bay in four hours trip, of spend
ing as many hours al one of these water
ing places, or of dividing the time
between them and return, TO Wellington
inside of twelve hours. The Steamer
Louise had been engaged to make the
trip from Huron and return and in order
to make ii perfectly safe in any emergency
of weather only 1s0 tickets we're author
lied to be sold. They, had been assured
that the citizens of Wellington could and
would 60 at days notice, and to avoid a
rush OF passengers more than could be ac-
commodated, the advertisement was not
circulated until Tuesday and not suffic-
iently early then, as it proved, to give
scarcely any one time to arrange for going.
The fare for round trip was only $3.50 and
the day was perfect for one in midsummer.
To the few who did go, no journey could
have been more free from disagreeable
company, from dust or the usual discom-
forts attending an excursion The dele
gates to the Prohibition Convention at
Norwalk were among the passengers, a
sufficient guarantee for sobriety and good
order for that much of the route. Everyone
could sit on the shady side of the car If
thew chose; there was no lack of room, no
objection to the use of a double seat for
any two who preferred to sit Wis Wis, no
debris of peanut or orange eating; or OF
picnicing, or of tobacco chewing to mar
the neatness of the floors either on train or
boat; and not sound or sight OF rowdy-
ism was heard or seen in all day These
were the negative features that made the
day restful, and means of grace TO tired
people.

office or household cares were in store for
