INCONSISTENCIES.
Their side Of the story.

A writer in the atlantic Monthly has
been visiting the moonshiners Of the South,
and has succeeded in putting their side to
the question just as they look at it. The
Moonshiner," that is, the manufacturer of
illicit whiskey, who makes it chiefly at night,
IN order to avoid the vigilance Of the United
States excise officers, is usually small far
mer, to whom his :" still is no more than a
cider mill to Northern man. Like his faith
er aud grandfathers, he has always made
whiskey. g 1t don't do nobody any harm,n
said one of them to the writer. "It's about
all the way we have of maxim any money in
this wooden country. It don't go into the
general trade of the country enough to
amount to anything" which, if we may be-
lieye what is said about its merits, is deeply
to be regretted; the liquor is made out of
their own corn and if the tax were actually
collected upon it all, it would drive them out
of the country. What they most fear is dis
turbance from the outside-the invasion Of
railroads and commerce and improvements
generally. As one old man expressed it
But this hyur country's all goin' to
change. It's goin' to be most everlastin'ly
improved, ye see. I shant never be improv-
ed I'm too old. But the old way is comm

the woods for fuel an lumber, an they'll be

they'll be mean, dirty little towns laid out,
all about Then, instid o. people drinlzin'
little healthy whiskey as we've always done,
they'll be forty times as much miser'ble

A VERY SMART GIRL.
Why Mics Bciic Clinton Expects to be
Worth $4,000 in Ten years.

Worth $4,000 in Ten Xeurs.
The smartest girl I've met in Town 1 met
yesterday at Nevada Story county, north
western Iowa-Miss Belle Clinton Miss
Clinton is bright eyed, rosy-eheeked girl
of about twenty, as full of fun and health
and vigor as a good girl can be. Two years
ago Miss Clinton was school teacher. Saw
ing up by her teaching about 800, she last
spring borrowed a span of horses from her
father, rugged up "prairie schooner" and,
taking her little brother, started for Dakota.
Miss Clinton says laughingly today, speak
ing of her trip; Why, never lived so
nicely in any life and / never had such an
appetite, aud such courtesy I received
everywhere Rough, rude men would come
to our camp, and, after had talked to them
awhile, offer to build my FIRE and actually
bring water to me- We went up through
he wheat country which they call the Jim
river country It's about 100 miles east
from the Missouri at Fort Sully. | home
steaded 100 acres of land Then 1 took up
a timber claim of 120 acres more"
Whit is timber claim p
Why, I hired man and we set out ten
acres Of trees. This gave me 100 acres
more So 1 have $50 acres now. But I
must tell you about those trees They were
young locust, apple and black walnut. /
sowed a peck of locust beans, pint of APP
pie seed and two bushels of blaek walnuts
in our garden in Iowa year ago. These

them out fast--just so along and stick them
in the ground, But they are just as good.
| believe my 5000 little black walnut sprouts
Will be worth so apiece in ten years and
$50 apiece in fifteen. My locust trees viii
sometime fence the whole country"
Then what did you dol
1--WE built a shanty and broke up five
acres of land and this fall we came back
to Iowa to spend the winter and here we
are. In the spring I'll go back with more
black walnut and locust sprouts and take up
100 acres more, The trees are just what /
want TO plant anyway, and they'll pay bet
ter than any wheat crop that could be raised
only I've got to wait for them ten or
twelve years; but can watt
Here is girl who owns in her own right
800 acres of splendid black prairie soil now
and who will own $50 acres in the spring,
every acre of which will bring S. within
three years and $40 within five years and
800 within ten years. Her black walnut
and locust trees will be worth as much more.

THE coLoNEL,s COOK.
How Old GROWER FIXED the Inspector.


At one Of the most isolated posts in
Oregon, situated several hundred miles dis
tant from the settlements, but in point of
accessibility farther away than China, the
commanding officer was cavalry offcerwho
enjoyed the sobriquet of Old Growler."
the only servant that was ever persuaded to
60 to this place was nurse, who had be-
come attached to an officers family and fol
lowed their fortunes into the mountains.
Her reception soon revealed those of the
post-trader, and before she had been there
two weeks, every soldier in the garrison had
proposed, and she finally announced to her
mistress that she was married. & Growlern
had no servant but IN old soldier, who was
SO broken down that he was not of much use
for anything else, who took care ofthe details
ofhis hut. One day the inspector of the de,
partment came and as was the custom,
stopped with the commanding officer. The
inspector happened TO be one of those gen
tlemen who trouble themselves about little
things at the expense of matters of grave
import. He could tell whether the pickles
ut post commissa,y were good or bad,
while contractor might steal thousands of
dollars under his very nose and escape de-
lection. This observing gentleman noticed
that the man who took care of the hut,
cooked and served the commandant's meals,
was a soldier. So he took occas ion to say
that unless that soldier was present the next
day at inspection he should be compelled
to report the aforesaid commanding officer.
Grower smoked his pipe, ruminated and
said nothing. The next morning when the
Inspector arose he found his hoststill smoking
and Eliminating They chatted on various
subjects for half IN hour or SO; then an
hour passed by; the hour for inspection was
rapidly approaching, when the inspector
returned to inquire at what time his host
usually brealifasted. 6" / beg your pardon
said Grower, i" I have had my breakfast so
long ago that I quite forgot about you.
Just go through the'a INTO the kitchen and
you will find a coree-pot and some coffee in
the pantry. / made my own coffee this
morning Just help yourself. If you want
to black your boots for inspection, you will
find the blaekening and a brush under the
bench on the right-fand side just help
yourself Dennis has gone back 10 his COM
oany.n

The FEMALE HOTEL CLERK. Female hotel
clerks are an innovation. Being of the
weaker sex, they are unable to support as
large diamond as the male brand, and this
is one advantage; but when they undertake
to give every guest room on the second
floor they discover that they have bitten off
more than they can chew, as Shakespeare
says. However, female clerk can't twirl
her mustaehe and grin iendishly when she
sends visitor to regions above, and in con-
sequence he doesn't feel so much like send
ing her to regions below. Novfstoen

been no national dispute between
the, rank and file of all political par
ties as tothe necessity of bringing
about these desired changes. After
Garfield was not permitted to shape
the administration so as to carry the
wishes of the people into effect and
they observed a disposition on the
part of his successor to permit things
to remain in the same old. groove
the people at the polls expressed
their disapprobation of such a course.
1t remains for congress assisted by

CISc1ENATI, Ohio, Dec. IL, 1883.
ED. GAzErTE:-I thought I would drop
you tew lines to let my friends know what
kind of place am in. The main business
part of the city is situated in basin sur
rounded on all sides by line of hills, ex-
cept the south, which is bounded tby the
Ohio river. This city is next to Pittsburg
for snoke-there is constantly cloud of
black smoke lowering over the city-even
the snow when it falls is almost black.
During the week everything is business
the streets are crowded with people and
vehicles. About the centre of the city
there is a grand formation composed of a
fine classic group. .ofsstatuary in bronze, sur
mounted by the Goddess of Liberty, and
supported by beautiful female figures, each
one wearing happy smile, and holding
between her fair knees an agonized duck
writhing with outstretched wing and eject
ing from it's bill pearIy stream of limpid
Ohio, which thirsty gamins drink all day
long-this is the finest fountain in America
1t is certainly beautiful and classic
piece of plastic art. Westward from the
fountain is Vine street, which is fashion,
abls promenade and business avsnns.

On the hill tops there are beer gardens,
where in the summer the people pass away
the time in drinking beer and listening to
concerts. The principal house is the High
land house-you take street car which
soon carries you to the foot of the hill and
you wonder to yourself how you are going
to make the ascent, but it is quickly solved,
for the street car is driven upon platform
and the whole thing is quickly carried to
the top of the hill by means of an inclined
plain of about 45 degrees and machinery at
the top of the hill. On arriving at the top
the doors of the Highland House greet you
with. song and good music. Here you can
gain good view of the surrounding country
but not of the business part OF the city

clouds. There is a nice scene here to look
at the city by night and see the gass light
glimmering- through this cloud of smoke.
Opposite the CITY are the cities of New

suspension bridge over the Ohio to Coving-

will say to my friends that 1 am satisfied
with my work and am enjoying myself the
best know how, but I know I will never
get used to this smoke, and I long to get

We are informed that the recent high wa
ter across the river from this place at each
end of the deep washout of winter before
last in front of Mr.. Perry Prestons house
has again washed out some very large holes
which from present appearances are certainly
very deep. They are yet full of water and
