Tn. Depasement Of Polite.

This Debasement Of Politics.
The Hot Springs (Arkansas) Sentinel
Star is disgusted with politics, and re-
lieves itself in the following forcible
style:
There is no better illustration of the
baneful character of party politics than
the course of both parties during the
last presidential election and especially
the treatment of Garfield by the demo-
Gratis. He was denC unced as o thief and
and every thing else that was bad, and
vet within month after he was elected
his defamers took back everything they
had said and acknowledged him to be
the embodiment of everything that was
good, noble and patriotic. Such is pol.
itics and there are thousands of men
who delight in wading
through political fifth, and consider it
justiiable to resort to any means, no mat.
ter what, in order to obtain the spoils se-
cured by success. When man consid.
ers the matter in its true light he cannot
but be disgusted with himself and the
political system which depends tor sue
cess on such questionable methods. 1t
is almost impossible for man to run fol
office without being slandered and Wilt
fed, even though he might be pure al
snow. We might express the opinion
that no gentleman or honest man woult
resort to slander and abuse in order t,
carry an election, bat the fact remain
that they all do it, almost without excep

is considered justlfiable. As matter Q

Mrs. scoville's Denial.

Chicago, July l3-Mrs. Scoville was
interviewed regarding the statement that
the bouquet she sent to Guiteau on his
last day was poisoned. She said, sarcas-
tically, "of course they found poison;
it's just like them; besides they had to
manufacture some story to excuse their
brutality in excluding me from Charles
cell" She then denied point blank
having put arsenic on tie bouquet. She
said she did not want Guiteau to escape
the gallows in such manner and that he
would not have taken the poison if be
could. She expresses her intention ol
condemning the legal agitation over this
matter until it is proven that an insane
man was hanged.

sphinx County Crops.
Sn;pk Couptv Horo1d

A careful estimate of the crops grown
in Sphinx county reveals the fact that We
have about 23.120 acres of wheat grow
ing this season, with prospective yield
of 100000 bushels as the very lowest esti-
mate, while some place it at not less than
100000 bushels: but it is only fair to say
that the present prospect for large
yield excels anything ever seen in the
eastern portion of the territory. Real.
izing our anticipations we will have
250,00 bushels to be shipped to eastern
markets. All things being equal as to
prices. ETC., there will be marketed from
the different railroad stations about as
follows:
From Crandon. ...........................1O 10000
From Redfeld". ...................60, ,000

From Worthwhile. e.........................1O 900

From Frankfort. ......................80,O 1000
There will also be abont $4,000
bushels OF flax seed shipped from the
same locality, this season. OF corn, oats.
potatoes. and other crops, while we have
the same increased acreage over tormer
years, and the same prospect of an ex.
traordinary large yield, there will be but
little to spare from our county.

wouldn't she make very good minister's
wife ?''
It came to my mind that she would
that she was the only wife for me; that
Angelina, splendid as she was, would
never have made me happy.
But only said, "Miss Melville. if
you desire to have your freedom, have
no choice"
"I desire it greatly, she answered.
"It is yours" said, with bow.
After that I think that we were both
happier than we had been for days, and
shook hands when we parted.
That night l went up to the Vale OF
Cruix, and told Mary that my marriage
was broken off, and that she was the
only woman I had ever loved. She
tried to summon up her pride and refuse
me, but failed in the attempt, and let
me take her to my heart. To-day am
pastor of the church at the Vale of
Cruix. Mary is my wife, and we are as
plain and quiet pair as you could
fancy. I even help my wife pick cur
rants, and I have taken turn at the
garden when help was scarce. But do
not envy Mr.. s. his wife, nor pine for
the luxurious possibilities that 1 lost
with Angelina. Mary and my little
home content me.
But one thing is on my conscience. I
have never been able to ask myself the
question: "Did I firt with Mary ?" If
not, what was it?

A Bad Case of GIObus.

DIR. Myers, of Paterson, N. j., was
recently summoned in great haste, at
midnight, to see woman who was suf-
fering the most excruciating agonies
from having swallowed set of false up
per teeth, sixteen in number. Several
women were about her, who had been
called in to help her. Anodynes were
administered to relieve her temporarily.
DIR. Myers then closely scrutinized her
mouth and throat, but could find no
evidence of liberation. Moreover, she
could swallow readily. He suggested
that the teeth might have been mislaid
but this was indignantly secuted by the
attendants, who declared that they had
searched the house from top to bottom.
A further search under the pillow failed
to disclose the missing property, and
the case began to look serious, as the
poor woman declared that she could not
stand it any longer, as she felt the edge
of the teeth cutting into the sides of her
stomach. Finally, at the suggestion of
the doctor, the inside of one of the pill
lowe cases was examined, and there the
teeth were found, perfectly safe and
harmless.
The patient, who had, a moment be-
fore, been suffering from the liberation
of the teeth against the edges OF her
stomach" recovered instantly, and the
doctor was promptly dismissed. -Medi-

Points About a Horse.

The weak points of horse can be
better discovered while standing than
while moving. If he is sound he will
stand firmly and squarely on his limbs
without moving any of them, the feet
planted firmly upon the ground, with
legs plumb and naturally poised. If one
foot is thrown forward with the toe
pointing to the, ground and the heel
raised, or if the foot is lifted from the
ground and the weight taken from it,
disease may be suspected, or at least
tenderness, which is precursor of dis
ease. If the horse stands with his feet
spread apart, or straddles with the hind
legs, there is a weakness in the loins
and the kidneys are apt to be disordered.
Heavy pulling bends the knees. Blush
or milky cast eyes in horses indicate
moon blindness, or something else. A
bad tempered Worse keeps his ears
thrown back. A kicking horse is apt
to have scared legs. A stumbling horse
has blemished knees. When the skin
is rough and harsh, and does not move
easily and smoothly to the touch, the
horse is heavy eater and his digestion
is bad. Never buy horse whose res
piratory organs are at all impaired,
Place your ear at the side of the heart.
and if a, wheeling sound is heard it is
an indication of brouble-let him go.

A Novel Street Car.

The Chicago Times says: The Ao-
commodation Car Company has begun
operations here with capital stock of
81, 100000, divided between the paten-
tee, T. T. Prosser, and F. F. Cole, a real
estate man. The object of the COM
pany is to build and equip thousand
cars and put them on the streets of
Chicago. The car is the patent of Mr..
Prosser, and as regards present appear
ance is q queer, oglesome- looking craft,
which carries its track along with it, and
to all intents and purposes is designed
to traverse any and all lines of streets.
The Car, which is of the ordinary kind,
is unted, in the middle, upon a truck
which sits on four wheels, each about
foot in diameter. These wheels run
around the inside of two steel ties, each
ten feet in diameter, and which rest
upon the ground, and are held only to
the car by a set of wheel-clamps. The
car is designed to hold so people, and
the owners claim that the more it car
ries the easier it runs. twill be stopped
in the usual manner, and two horses
will be required to pull it. The owners
say they intend putting the cars upon
the principal streets of the city and put
ting the cash fare at four cents, and
selling 80 rides for dollar.

Little Men as r,armers.

An amusing agricultural objeU. ies-
son " was given at the Industrial School,
a branch of the Children's Aid Society,
in New York City. There are about 80
pupils In this institution, and some time
ago Mrs. Briant, who has charge of the
school, conceived the idea of imparting
TO the boys some elementary knowledge
OF farming and of teaching the girls
housekeeping. She procured large boxes
about one foot high, and these she had
filled with earth. Miniature plows, har-
rows, fails, and other agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS were also purchased, and the
little boys were initiated into the sci
ence OF farming. A box, filled with
earth, was placed upon platform, and
one of the little fellows was ordered to
pillow the ground, while half a dozen
youngsters stood looking on and
whistled "John Brown" After the
soil had been well turned over, the fore
man ordered couple of farm-hands to
harrow the field, and then SOW wheat,
which was supposed to sprout, grow up,
ripen, and be harvested within quar-
ter of an hour, as by that time the
farmers appeared with sheaves, which
they laid down and thrashed. By an
other magical process the wheat was
ground at the mill, and little farmers
wife spread her kitchen utensils on the
table in the farm kitchen, and began
mixing the flour with water. In five
minutes the yeast had done its work,
the housekeeper had kneaded the dough,
and four loaves were supposed to be
baked and ready for food. The boys
sang sob come with us to the West, y
and pretty model of farm was ex.
hibited. The song, "The Little Maid, .
was rendered by stout little boy and g
merry little girl, who were much ap
plauded. Then the little miss courte
sled and the fat little farmer bowed tt
the audience, and the lesson was at an
end
