as we'll as south this year. The public
are little disposed when terrible out
rage has been committed to await the
slow processes of the law and take the
chances of the offender being released
through some bubble.
Mayer Steele has cut down those
large, unsightly shade trees which mid
and spoiled the pretty appearance of
his residence, and has planted smaller
ones in their stead. He is now max
ing preparations to put down a brick
pavement, and when this is accom-
plished he says things will be fixed.
The man who carries around in his
pocket revolver, as a rule, sooner
or later figures in tragedy which
brings to him either death or life
time of sorrow. Of all useless inven-
tions the pocket pistol is the most
worthless; and brave men, except in
an emergency, do not carry them.
The wise farmer will let the cattle
and hogs manufacture his surplus corn
into meat, tallow and lard, butter and
cheese, and save transportation charges
on heavy raw products, keep the fer
tility of his land at home, grow his
own sugar and syrups, make money,
and live a life Of comfort and happi-
ness.
The great strike in Pennsylvania
means that there will be great suffer-
ing among the laboring classes during
the coming year. 1t cannot be other
wise when regular wages only supply
the necessities Ct life. No man can
look upon the situation with the grav-
est fears for the result. Capital can
afford to lie idle, but the workingman
cannot.
Andrew Chipley, who left US several
weeks since for Maryland, has return
ed. His description of the state of
affairs in the coal regions, caused by
the suspension of work by the miners,
accords with the accounts we daily re-
ceive through the newspapers, and
there is no telling what misery and
suffering must ensue before the tron-
bic is ended.
The continued cool weather is at
tributed by some to be the result of
the great icebergs in the Atlantic
ocean, which have come farther north
during the winter and spYing than ever
before known. 1t is thought that
their nearness affects the climate for
thousands of miles-and it is very evil
dent that the climate is affected by
something unusual and unnatural.
Mr.. G. E. Young, of Allegheny
City, Pa, writes disease and suffer-
ing had completely discouraged me.
I took no pleasure in eating. l found
no comfort in living. felt myself a
burden, and my mind bordered on in
sanity. Dyspepsia and urinary disor-
ders troubled me. | tried Brown S
Iron Bitters, and now, thank God, l
feel myself the equal of any man. 1t
has saved my life"
Beef is high for several reasons
First, because so much is shipped to
Europe Second, on account of Sc
we're winter two seasons ago that kill
ed half million of cattle. Third,
the drought for two past seasons
Fourth, ranchmen selling themselves
short Of corn and hay, being tempted
by the high prices. The important
point just now is when will beef be
lower? Only few days ago it was
said this would certainly be in thirty
days. The grass crop is most abund-
ant. Some now say, however, that
frst-class beef will be high all summer
An exchange gives the following
hints upon church etiquette, the neces-
sity of which will be apparent to very
good christians Having entered pew
move along. Do not block up the end
of pew as if you did not intend to
have any one else enter it, or as if you
were holding it for special friends. Do
not rise to let others in, but move
along and leave the pew invitingly
open, so that they are welcome. If a
pew holding six has five already in it,
do not file out in formal procession
to let one poor scared woman go to the
farthest end, but move along and let
her sit down at the end next to the
aisle. 1t is not necessary now for a
man to sit at the end ready to rush out
and kill Indians, as possibly it once
was.
