Good Work or None.

1t is rule that a work man must
follow his employers orders, but no
one has right to make him do work
discreditable to himself. Judge M,
well-known jurist, living near Gin
cinnati, loved to tell this anecdote of a
young man who understood the risk
Of doing shabby job even when dir
ected to. He had once occasion to
send to the village after carpenter,
and sturdy young fellow appeared
with his tools.
II want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some un-
planed boards-use them. 1t is out
of sight from the house, so you need
not take time to make it neat job
| will only pay you dollar and a
half"
The Judge then went to dinner, and
coming out found the man carefully
planning each board. Supposing that
he was trying to make a costly job of
it, he ordered him to nail them on at
once just as they were, and continued
his walk. When he returned the
boards were all planed and numbered
ready for mailing.
Il told you this fence was to be
covered with vines" he said angrily.
| do not care how it looks"
81 do, said the carpenter gruffiy,
carefully measuring his work. When
it was finished there was no part of
the fence as thorough in finish.
Chow much do you charge?" ask
ed the Judge.
"a dollar and a half" said the man
shouldering his tools.
The Judge stared. ''Why do you
spend all that labor on the job if not
lOr money!
For the job, sir"
Nobody would have seen the poor
work on it."
''But [ should have known it was
there. No; I'll take onty a dollar
and half" And he took it and went
away.
Ten years afterward the Judge had
the contract to give for the building of
several magnificent public buildings.
There were many applicants among
master builders, but the face of one
caught his eye. at was my man of
the fence" he said. 81 knew we
should have only good, genuine work
from him. [ gave him the contract,
and it made a rich man of HIM"
1t is q pity that boys are not taught
in their earliest years that the highest
success belongs only to the man, be he
carpenter, farmer, author or artist,
whose work is most sincerely and
thoroughly done.-Living Age.

Whoever wantonly wounds or tram
pies upon the feelings of others, who
ever unnecessarily and uncaringly ex-
poses the faults, foibles and defects,
the sin or shame of others, to public
gaze and comment, is heartless brute

How TO Cook RIcE.-Rice is be-
coming a much more popular article
Of food than heretofore. 1t is frequent
ly substituted for potatoes at the
chief meal of the day, being more nu-
fritious and much more readily digest
ed. At its present cost, it is relative
ly cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal or
grain-grits of any kind. In prepar-
ing it only just enough cold water
should be poured on to prevent the
rice from burning at the bottom of the
pot, which should have a close-ftting
cover, and with a moderate fire the
rice is steamed rather than boiled un-
til it is nearly done; then the cover is
taken off, the surplus steam and moist
ure allowed to escape, and the rice
turns out a mass of snow-white kernels
each seperate from the other, and as
much superior to the usual soggy mass
as fine mealy potato is superior to
to the water-soaked article.

The Grand Forks Plandealer
says: The fact that the Pacific rail
roads charge two and three-fourths
cents pound freight on wool from
San Francisco, to Boston, and only
two cents pound from Australia to
Boston via San Francisco, or, in other
words, that they charge two and three
fourths cents for carrying American
wool 5000 miles and only two cents
for carrying foreign wool 1880 miles,
is quite sufficient to convince any fair
minded person that additional legisla
ton is necessary to protect the peo-
pie against such unjust discrimina-
tons

james Smith of Denver had
courted his girl so successfully that he
presumed to procure a license and call
upon her on urgent business, without
having previously brought his claim
to crisis. As an evidence of good
faith he took his sister along and had
the minister engaged. The young lady
repudiated any obligations she may
have contracted constructively or 9th
erwise to join the Smith family, and
dismissed James and his sister in dis
gust. James is now trying to have the
record doctored to meet the emer-
gency.

Summer Idyl.

Only city dandy, gorgeous
In a hunting shirt Of red,
Through u rural region walking
With a 1.-the, elastic tread.
Only single fatted bovine
Such a clumsy quadruped!
In that fair and yerdant pasture
BY the silent waters fed
Only sudden, forward movement,
Made by him with the horned head
And through that green and pleasant valley
Much in haste the hunter fed.
Only dandy heav inward waited
By an angered quadruped,
Never again to walk that pasture
In hunting shirt of red

-"No man attacks the reputation
of youth as woman attacks that of a
girl. The man who should come into
his club and whisper about damning
stories of his friends young son, who
should accuse him of dishonorable do
ings, such as would ruin the lads
character as thoroughly as the charge
of immodesty, flirting with married
men and the like, ruin that of girl,
would soon have the room to himself.
But women over the tea and table
gather up the crumbs of scandal with
relish and appreciation, and even the
mothers of girls are not ashamed to
believe and repeat stories against their
dear friends daughters, which have
no foundation in fact, and which, even
if true, they have no means Of proving
and testing"

From Emert's Cove,

EMEBT's Cove, SEWER COUNTY, Oct. 5.
MIR. EDITOR: Captain Rule was escorted
by j. P. Shultz, from Jones' Cove, to the
second district in Sevler County, (Emert's
Cove, which met the largest audience ever
assembled at this place to hear a political
speaker. MIR. Rule was introduced by j. P.
Shultz very politely, after which Mr.. Rule
proceeded. First, showing that he was not
put out by the Democrats, as had been ac-
cused, showing the names of the gentlemen
who nominated him in pamphlet which
he held in his hand. Second, showing his
position as Republican, telling the people
thai he had been engaged in journalism for
several years, and his political views were
well known to all. He had perhaps differed
with some of his audience on grave ques-
tons, but he was honest In his convictions,
and was not here to apologize for his past
political record. His object was to come
face to face with the people and discuss the
relative claims of himself and those of
man of his own party for seat in Con-
gress He said that this being his object, he
had right, not only a right, but he felt it
to be his duty to hold up the record of our
present Representatives, being public
p. operty-tor the Inspection of the people
and their approval or dlsapproval.
MIR. Rule then took up houk's public re-
cord and delt with it III such way that the
most fastidious of Houk's friends could not
find reason for being offended, while the
more thoughtful ones of them must have
blushed that he was unwilling to meet so
fair an opponent on the stump to defend
his record. The yituperations and vile
abuse so frequently mentioned by the ed
itor of the Knoxville Republican and its
correspondents was heard nowhere In MIR.
Rules remarks. His speech was plain
statement of facts, based upon the records
and backed by good proof, delivered with ele-
gance and ease, and eloquent and convinc-
ing in its effect. Mr.. Rules friends here
are highly pleased with his manner of deal
ing with his competitor on the stump, and
douDly assured that such a course must en-
list the best men of the country in his
support.
The entire audience gave marked atten-
ton, Notwithstanding it was agreed on by
Houk's friends to have a harangue by an
Houkite which was to follow Ne. Rule but
failed, as their boss has in divers instances.

Rule at Tuckaleechee.

OCTOBER 9, 1882
Mr.. EDITOR: A large number of the citi-
zens of this vicinity assembled at Tuckalee-
chez Camp Ground to-day to listen to a
speech from Hon. VIM. Rule, Republican
candidate for Congress. His speech was
listened to with intense interest from be-
ginning to end, and elected frequent APP
plause. In his Introductory remarks he
very beautifully alluded to the sacred asso-
Citations connected with the place
as having been the place where his
fathers and kindred had worshipped in
years gone by, and to the peculiar circum-
stances of his first visit to our beautiful val
ley, in the dark days of 1861, when the late
Senator Brownlow, bounded and hunted by
the enemies of the Union, and compelled to
leave his home sought and found place of
refuge In the mountains of Blount, and that
when the bridges were burned that he came
to bear the message to Brownlow. For a
long period of time it had been customary
for candidates for the offices of
Governor and Congress to meet
in joint discussion on the
political issues of the day, and that
four weeks ago he had written a note to
Mr.. Houk inviting him to joint discussion
but thus far had received no reply, he re-
GREETED that Mr.. Houk was not present but
this was not his fault.
He then defined his position on the ques-
tons likely to come up in the next Con-
gress, the tariff was one that had agitated
the country for half century and was like
ly still to do so upon this as well as upon
the question of internal improvements by
the general government, he was an old line
Wing, and that he was in favor of pensioning
the soldiers of the Mexican war, that
through their valor our National domain
had been extended, and our wealth largely
increased. He then took up Mr.. Houks
public record and showed that out of 1877
roll calls he only answered to Is, and that,
as to the claims and pensions growing out
of the war, which Mr.. Houk claimed to
have been instrumental in procuring, would
have been paid if Mr.. Houk had not been
in Congress, except one pension which he
procured for himself, of something over
1900, and fifteen dollars per month, and
that went through in about six weeks
He also showed that when the late lamented
President Garfield had dared to exercise the
right vested in him by the Constitution in
the appointment of Robertson as Collector
of Customs at New York, for which Roscoe
Conkling made war upon the President,
that Houk placed himself side by side with
Conkling, and declared that the Presidents
name would go down with infamy. He then
alluded to Houk's Sabbath morning excur-
sion in Washington City, and of his
detention by the police in cell No 5,
and made quotation from his opera house
speech about the attempts made to poison
him. Mr.. Rule closed amidst the cheers of
the audience.
You may expect a good report in Novem-
Der from the 18th district of old Blount.
