Hen Roosts.

Seeing farmer building a new
hen-house the other day, | took oc-
casion to give him a new idea. He
was putting in his roosts in the old
fashioned way, one being above the
other at an angle of about forty-fve
degrees. In this way the fowls are
led to attempt to get upon the high
est roost, and as it gets full the
weaker ones are crowded off and
tall to the ground and begin again
to climb up, only to repeat the same
performance, until it gets so dark
that they stop climbing, resting con-
tent upon the lower rOOsts. In the
morning they will not 90 down as
they went UP, from one rOOst TO
another, but fly from the roOst TO
the ground. In this way and falling
to the ground at night, heavy fowls
especially, when very fat or very full
of eggs, are often crippled in the legs
or otherwise injured. Many likely
hens / have seen completely spoiled
in this way. / told him that |
should build the rOosts of the same
height and no more that two and a
half foot from the fleer, putting them
- inches apart.
/ Before Ileft had the satisfaction OF
seeing MIN commence to undo the
work he had done and build the
roosts as | suggested, and of hearing
an aid farmer who was present de-
clare his intention of taking out
his roosts. which were of the ladder
style, and putting in new ones level
and lower. | think they will save
hens enough before spring by doing
so to more than pay for the labor 1t
will take.

MItchell's Consistency.

When John /. Mitchell. who is
now a Senator of the United States
from Pennsylvania by reason of the
inability of the Republican party to
agree on an able man, was en- route
from his home in TiOga to the cele-
brated Peace Conference IN Phila-
delphia, he was met by two friends
of Senator Davies, one of them Mr.
f. B. Mitchell, the Senator's cousin.
To these gentlemen Senator Mitch
ell declared in the most emphatic
terms
L am going to this conference for
the purpose of endeavoring to har-
monte our Republican factions
but two things have been settled by
the people and they must be ad-
hered to One is that the people
have selected General James A. Bea-
yer for the next Governor of Penn
sylvania the other is, that Senator
Davies is their choice Tor Lieutenant
GOvesnor.
Senator Davies proclaimed the
above in Pittsburgh on Monday
night of last week. He has iterated
and reiterated this statement through
out the State and neither Senator
Mitchell nor any of his friends have
disputed its truthfulness. They
dare not. Ii is fact susceptible OF
proof by the two highly respectable
citizens to whom Mr.. Mitchell de-
clared these two things which have
been settled by the people"
Why is it that after the conven-
ton has ratified that candidate
whicn "the people have selected,
Mr.. John I. Mitchell has bis kick
er" coadlutors do all in their power
to defeat the peoples choice? Is u
because of subverted popular will
as they prate? Evidently not,
for when Mr.. Mitchell declared
that the people have selected Cen
eral James A. Beaver for the next
Governor of Pennsylvania, he spoke
the truth. and everybody knows IT.

OCTOBER.
BY HELEN FIsKE JACKSON.

o suns and skies and clouds Of June,
And flowers of June together.
Ye cannot rival for an hour
october's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless, vagrant,
And golden rod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant.
When gentians roll their fringe- tight,
To save them for the morning.
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without sound of warning
When on the ground the apples lie
la piles, like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining.
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white winged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields. still green and fair,
Late after-maths are growing
When springs run low, and on the brook
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush
OF woods for winter waiting.
When comrades seek sweet country haunt
BY twos and twos togther,
And count like misers. hour by hour,
Octobers bright blue weather.
o suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loyeth best of all the year
Octobers bright blue weather.

There Is one other point in tbs
article that We must refer To. I'm
the beginning of it we find this
statement:
In the early part OF the first ses-
eion of the present Congress, the
question of polygamy was one of
the exciting subjects before it. At
the time the discussion was going on
IN Congress, it was stated that a great
deal of money was used to influence
that body to sustain the doctrine of
poiygamy or a plurality of wives.
The insinuation contained in this
extract is evidently directed at Gen.
Campbell. "A great deal of money
was used to influence that body to
sustain the doctrine of polygamy;;"
but Gen. Campbell voted squarely
to suppress pOlygamy, and forty-two
of Mr.. Cotfroth's political friends.
and not member beside, voted to
sustain it, as wehave already shown.
Then who got the money? This is
a question for the smart editor of the
Somerset Democrat to ponder over.
In conclusion we have only to say
that it Is quite apparent that the
Scientific Politician" was absent
when that article was written; that
the boy who runs the machine in
his absence did not understand his
instructions; and when Uncle
Aleck" comes home the said boy
will probably get sound spanking
for having hurled a boomerang
which caused damage only to his
uncle and his political friends

little" said Mr.. Falconer. ''We are
all that is left of the old family.
have come North to ask you and
your mother to return with me TO
Cressida Vale, in Alabama, to be my
mother and sister. We will divide
the fortune which at first should
have been equally divided"
Tibby flushed vivid red.
Mop she said involuntarily clos
ing her tiny fist, II will accept noti-
ing which the law doesn't award
me-"
"But you. will at least consent To
come thither as my guests ?" ne
pleaded almost with humility. And
Tibby, who had always felt a long
ing desire to see the Sunny South of
her dreams, did not quite say no.
So they left the halfway house in
the generalship of Hannah Ann,
whom nothing could induce to go.
And at the end of six months.
libby came back to the mountains
with Mr. Falconer, as bright as a
human sunbeam.
'Humphl" said Hannah Ann,
who was seated beside roaring fire
of logs piecing calico bed quilts for
the next seasons boarders. Il aim t
surprised to see you. | calculated
you'd get tired of the South"
But I'm not tired of it Hannah
Ann" said Tibby. II shall live
there always now. I'm only here
on my wedding trip"
"What?"
81 am married, said Tibby, show
ing her wedding ring, with a sweet,
happy laugh, Ito my cousin Falcon
er. Because there was no other way
of settling the disputed question of
the estates, and-because | liked
him."
"Well | declare :" said Hannah
Ann, But if you'll remember Miss
Elizabeth-Mrs. Falconer, / should
say always told you that the
gentleman in the barn chamber was
the incest of all our boarders"
And Mr.. Falconer smiled good
humoredly as he thanked Hannah
Ann for her good opinion of him.
After all, Tibby," he said to bis
young wife, IF Hannah Ann hadn't
taken me for a boarder, | never
should have read your character in
its true light"

The Duty Of Republicans.
\ LETTER FROM MR.. BLAME.

4 LETTER FROM MR.. BLAME.
AUGUSTA, ME-, Oct. 20.
Richard Harrington, Esq, Chairman
Republican State Committee:
DEAR SIR: 1t is with. extreme re-
gret that | find myself unable to
fulfill my long standing engage
ment to speak in Delaware. Some
three weeks since | had a severe at
tack of malarial fever, and | have
not sufficiently regained my strength
to warrant me in attempting pub
| lie speech. My physician forbids it
positively, and enjoins rest and
quiet.
have personal reasons for COM
ing to Delaware aside from the good
! might hope to do the Republican
cause, and | shall not be content un-
til | have had an opportunity in per-
son to thank the good friends in
your State who have manifested on
important occasions their trust and
confidence in me.
That Delaware should sustain the
Democratic party seems altogether
anomalous. Her geographical posi-
ton, her industries, her progress in
manufactures would all seem to ally
her strongly with the Republican
party. During the period in which
Republican administrations have
shaped the financial and economic
policies of the country, Delaware
has enjoyed new industrial life,
and has shown remarkable devel-
opment in wealth and productive
power. In the very same years that
/ Delaware has been reaping the rich
est advantages of the protective sys-
tenn, she has been represented in
Congress by the enemies of that sys.
tenn.
For the remainder of this cam.
paign Republicans everywhere
should bend their energies to secur-
ing a majority in the next House o
Representatives. Whatever cause;
of Just discomfort may exist with
State nominations, unfairly and in
juriously thrust upon the party, anC
whatever means may be teken to re
sent such wrongs and repel such in
dignities, it is evidently the duty o
all true Republicans to use every
honorable effort to hold control o
the popular branch of Congress. Ii
that branch is lodged the power t.
originate revenue bills. and tha
carries with it the incidental powe
of fostering or disabling the entir
industrial system of the country
The Republicans may be safel,
trusted to do the first; there is seri
Gus danger that the Democrats nigh
do the second.
am very truly yours,
JAMES q. BLAINE.

THE FIGHT IN EGYPT.

THE PORTE'S PROPOSAL TO ENGLAND.
Constantinople August I6.-The draft Of
the military convention, propose by the porte
to England, is as follows:
d. The Turkish army to undertake to protec
ton of Egypt without assistance-the British
to remain in their present positions, and not
to participate in any of the operations. The
Turks shall be allowed the use of Alexandria
as base of operations, and the Turks and
British both to withdraw after the paci6cation
of the coutry.
Lord Dufferin rejected this and submitted
another, STIMULATING that the Turks should not
undertake operations without previous consent
of the British commander. The British Off
GERS should be detached to Turkish headquar-
tiers, and that the question Of evacuation
should be the subject of special convention.
1t is believed there is no probability of the
porte accepting the English conditions. A
few officers and soldiers have returned on
leave from Suda bay, where the Turkish
troops are assembled.

for Sunderland and all home rule members

ton was called, at the mention of Mr..
Gray's name, the whole audience arose and
ancored that Mr.. Gray's sentence was equiv
alent to six months imprisonment. He de-
sired all to be most careful and guarded in
their language. as they were in the midst of
crisis. Mr.. Parnell, returning thanks for the
freedom of the city said. in rear of recent
events, it was clear that liberty of sreech no
longer existed for Ireland. He and his asso-
ciates. however would bring the sui ject be.
fore the house at the first opportunity.

GOssipy.Letter from Manchaca.

MANCHAcA, TRAVIS Co., Aug. II, 1882.
Editor Evening Light:
Our little station is little dull TODAY on ac-
count of it being Friday, but Tomorrow vii
be the big day, everybody and his wife will
come to town to do their trading. The CT ton
pickers will have to replenisb their stock of
groceries for the coming week, the BOYS will
come to get their tanks full, the old reliable
farmer he will come to get his mail and
tobacco.
This week there has been six hundred sacks
Of corn sold by Messrs. Felix and Walter
Smith to Mr.. Joseph Lsnda, of San Antonio;
shipped by Mr.. Landa to M c. Wellbon &
Co., Houston. San Antonio grain merchants
do great deal of buying from this section;
corn is selling at fifty cents per bushel.
Our princely merchant Mr.. T. J. Farr,
has also shipped car load to
Messrs. Koerber & Co., of Austin; still more
to be shipped; corn in this section never was
finer. The railroad company are making
preparations for the shipment Of cotton from
this point. BY the way they are filling up the
pose of protecting cotton from fire, which
shows good discretion on their part. The I.
G. N. are generally very cautious COM
pany.
By the way they have the prettiest, cleverest
and most accommodating agent here there is
anywhere on the line, by the name OF Mr.. 7.
M. Goforth. In business he is like his name,
he always goes forth. They could not get q
more suitable man for the position. He is also
telegraph operator and express agent.
The citizens contemplate building No. I
school house, in three hundred yards of the
depot. The upper story is to be used as an
Odd Fellows and Masonic hall, the lower for
school and church purposes. Professor
Dechard is now teaching at what is called the
Rock church, on Onion creek, about one mile
and a half of this place. Prof Dechard will
take charge of the school here. He has nearly
one hundred children enrolled for the
coming session. At present he is teaching a
private school. Next month he will commence
the public school. He is finely educated
gentleman, and seems to be much liked. The
citizens are thorough going and energetic
people. They believe in schools and educa-
ton.
Mr. Editor, your compositor made great
mistake when he said there were more young
ladies here than any place in the state; I
wrote it more young babies, every house has
from one to two. As for young ladies there
is not one in the town, not even a dashine
widow or sour old maid; the young gentle
men have to 60 to the country, especially one
young gent. We have young man here
that can eat more preserves than anybody's
young man, the money is here to back him,
out some one must furnish the preserves, as
he has nearly broken up Mrs. Millers pantry.
She is now filling him up on nice fresh butter,
biscuit and honey, and still he is hungry when
he sees them nice chicken FILINGS.
Wash Jones is still in the lead, and will con-
tinae so: The Irelandites look mighty sore
and troubled.
Respectfully, FL.

A Dangerous Scufhe.

c. Cook and R. Blair had difficulty at the
Arlington last night which resulted in fight
in which Cook got somewhat the worst of it.
He then drew a revolver and but for the in
reference of a bystander would have
shot his antagonist. Both men were
arrested. Blair was brought before the re-
corder this morning and the charge of fighting
preferred against him was dismissed. The
charge of Cook was continued in the absence
of the defendant.
