A BRAVE IRISH BOY
A Story Of Kentucky.

In the month of May, 1854, a boy O.
Is, with small bundle under his arm
might have been seen walking wearily
over rough Kentucky road. His hail
was brown, his eyes were gray, ant
there was good-humored expression
on his broad Celtic face, for our hero was
an Irish boy, who had gone out into the
world to seek his fortune.
"Where will sleep tonight ?" thought
Pat Roach, for that was his name. "Last
night l slept on the ground, and it's stiff
l was this morning"
At this moment his eyes fell upon q
large and imposing mansion, on little
eminence to the right.
Maybe they'll let me sleep in the
barn" he thought. Anyhow, I'll give
them chance"
He turned into the front gate and
walked up to the front door and knock
ed, for there was no bell.
The door was opened by a colored wo-
man.
"Well, child, what do you want?" she
asked, not unkindly.
Can you let me sleep in the barn?"
asked Pat.
what does the boy want, Chloe ?"
asked young lady, who had just enter
ed the broad hall.
"He wants to sleep in the barn, Miss
Jennie"
The young lady came forward and
looked pleasantly at the boy.
"What is your ?" she asked.
"Pat Roach, Miss"
"Where are you golng?"
ITO seek my fortune, Miss.
Haven't you homer"
"Yes, Miss, but there's more of US than
father can keep, and I'm the oldest. So
I'm going out for myself"
"Where did you sleep last night?"
"On the ground"
"That was pity. You didn't enjoy
it did your
"Not very much" answered at,shrug-
ging his shoulders. "But it was cheap
er."
IL suppose you haven't much money ?"
said the young lady, smiling.
"Not a cent, Miss"
"Have you had any supperp"
ayes, Miss, I've had cracker"
"You must still be hungryp"
"Try me and see" said Pat, drollyP
81 WILL" said the young lady, smiling.
"Chloe, take this boy into the kitchen
and give him a good supper"
"And may l sleep in the barn after

mo, but you may sleep in the house;
Chloe, let him occupy the little back
room on the second floor"
THANK yOp Miss" said PAT Oraca-
fully. 1T will be line thing to sleep
in a real bed again"
Chloe was well disposed to second the
benevolent intentions of her young mis-
tress. She gave Pat the best meal he
had eaten for months, and drew out the
boys story. which Pat was quite ready
to tell. In return she told the boy that
the estate was owned by Mrs. Stanton
and her daughter. who we're left wealthy
by the late Mr.. Stanton, who had died
during the last year. Beside herself
there was man servant. but he was
lying sick with fever.

an impossibility to raise the ratio above
so or IS per cent. In 1880 the votes cast
in New York equaled 73 per cent. of the
actual voters, while in 1876 the returns
were made to show 95 per cent. under
Tilden's manipulatiens. In New Jersey
the returns were made to show 81 1-2 per
cent, and the electoral votes of both
States were obtained for Tilden through
the most abeminable of frauds. Had
these votes been given to Hayes, as they
justly should have been, Tilden would
have been buried out of sight, and the
Democratic party thoroughly disrupted
We might go on and refer to other gross
frauds committed by the Democracy in
that year, but enough has been shown to
fix the brand of rascality eternally upon
the Democratic party. The action of
such papers as the st. Louis Re-
publican and the New Orleans Times
furnishes satisfactory proof that Demo
cratic leaders and journalists were first
thieves and then liars. The Presiden-
tial election of 1876 is their harp of a
thousand strings, but, in the face of ir-
refu5able facts, it is sadly out of tune

KHEDIvE is the title given the ruler
of Egypt, just as Sultan is the title OF
the Ottoman Emperor. The Khediye is
nominally tributary of the Sultan, bnt

some years he has been wholly under

appointed by the British and French
governments for the management of
Egyptian finances. Bey and Pasha are
titles as with us General is title. Ara

the General, who is the ruler of prov

a noble of the highest rank. Both may

The Tariff resolution is very clever

1t was perfectly safe to speak in terms

The stability of money is good thing,
and the use of both precious metals as

The assertion that the Democratic
party "has ever maintained" that spirit

true.

Preventable Losses on a Farm.

Waldo F. Brown writes, among Othel
good suggestions, the following in the
American Agriculturist for August:
The keeping of old COWS long past theil
prime is another thing which largely re
duces the profits of the farmer. We
have found quite a large per cent Of
cows, whose wrinkled horns and gener.
ally run down condition, show that they
have long since passed the point of profit
A few years ago, these cows would have
sold at full prices for beef, now they
will only sell for Bologna at cents pei
pound. Thus COWS have, in majority
of cases, been kept, not because they
we're favorites, or even because they
were profitable, but from sheer careless.
ness and want of forethought. Another
fruitful cause of loss to the farmer, is at
tempting to winter more stock than he
has feed for. Instead of estimating his
resources in the fall, and knowing that
he has enough feed even for hard win
ter, he gives the matter ne thought, and
March finds him with the choice of two
evils, either to sell stock, or buy feed.
If he chooses the former, he will often
sell for much less than the animals
would have brought four months earlier,
and if the latter, will usually pay a
much higher price for feed than if it
had been bought in autumn. Too often
he scrimps the feed, hoping for an early
spring, and so soon as he can see the
grass showing shade of green around
the fence lows, or in some sheltered ra-
vine, turns his stock out to make their
own living. This brings one of the most
potent causes of Improbable cattle rails
ing; namely, short pastures. The farm
or who is over-stocked in winter, is al :
most sure to turn his cattle on his past
ures too early III the spring, and this
generally results in short pasture all
simmer, and consequently the stock do
not thrive as they ought, and in addi-
tion, the land which should be greatly
benefited and enriched, is injured, for
development of the roots in the soil,
trampled by the cattle in their wander
ings to fill themselves, 80 that it is in a
worse conditian than if crop of grain
had been grown on it. From all these
causes combined, there is large aggre-
gate of loss, and it is the exception to
find farm on which one or more of
them does not exist, and yet Without
exception, they may be classed as "pre-
ventable," if thought, and practical com
mon sense ale brought to bear in the
management
