What We Believe.

We believe in going to the bottom
OF things-except it mas be the well

other places. In farming tt is essen
tial, and deep blowing the secret O

i We believe in large crops of every
thing, grown on small areas, excep,
it be crop of weeds or bad habits
The latter ought to be widely dis
tributed and few in hill.

life and an indefinite amount of vi.
tality-an animating spirit that pre-.
sides over its destiny. It must be
so, or hedgerows and swamps would
not beso populous in snakes, lizards,
and other small stock, nor would an
idle field grow SO many weeds and
thistles. The land has life in it and
must produce something; SO if the
farmer neglects his part, his harvest

the other hand, q farmer may kiln
his land BY over-cropping and stin-
gy feeding. Alb, the ghosts, the

The Dog Question.
From the Monroe Bulletin


A gentleman who lives in the ives
tern portion of Ouachita parish
writes as follows to the Bulletin:
Nearly every family in this
section of country, both white and
colored, and especially the latter,
have from three to seven dogs. II
the country was rid of these worth.
less 'possum ours, starved as they
are, men of enterprise would turn
their attention to stock more than
they do. We have as good a stock
country here as We want, but we are
afraid to try to do anything at stock
raising on account of the dogs. If
the dogs were out of the way there
would be more for the man to eat y
A very large majority of the white
men OF the State are, no doubt. in
favor OF q dog law, and farmers who
are interested should take the proper
steps to get the matter before the
Legislature. There should be some
adequate protection against the
bands OF worthless ours that infest
the country.

Guiteau-S East Chance Gone.

WASHINGTON, May %. - Justice
James this morning announced the de
ceptions in the Guiteau case, denying
a new trial and affirming the judgment
of the court below. Justice Hagner, in
a separate opinion, discussed the bear
ings Of the old Maryland law, and held
that even after the Maryland Act OF
1855 the indictment would have been
good in this District, and Judge Carter
stated that the opinions given were

Haunting in the Aretics.

In his narrative Of the experience Of
the Jeanette crew, Lieutenant Danen-
hover says During the Summer some
Of US used to take the skin boats or the
dingy and paddle among the cracks.
On one occasion Captain De Long was
alone in the dingy and was interviewed
by bear, who suddenly approached out
of the mist and stood watching him in
the most dignified manner. The Cap
tain retreated in good order During
the Summer it was very difficult to get
bears, because they could take to the
water so readily and thus cut Off their
pursuers. During the misty times they
were very bold, and on one occasion
she bear with two cubs approached the
ship to within four hundred yards Of
the starboard quarter. Fortunately the
dogs were on the port side and to wind
ward, so they did not scent the bear.
The greatest quietness prevailed, and
a squad of about ten riflemen was i'm
mediately organized on the poop. |
was watching the bear through a cabin
air port and it was a very fine sight to
see the mother and her two cubs APP
proach tho ship in a wondering and
cautious manner. l could see better
under the mist than the people on the
poop. Heard the Captain say, ado
any of you think ii is over $50 yards:'
All seemed to agree, and he said, CAIN
at $50 yards, and wait for the word
fire. Then succeeded a volley. The
bears reeled and made several turns,
and ] thought that we had hagsed all
of them. hut / was astOnShed to see
them get up and walk off in the most
lively manner. OF course all the dogs
took the alarm and pursued them to
the first crack, which the bears calmly
swami across and thus escaped. But
| large drops of blood were seen, and the
she bear lay down once or twice as if
wounded. In making her retreat
she drove her cubs before her. and be
came impatient when they moved
, slowly. The bears had been hit, but
the distance had kecn undcrestimated,
and mos, Of the shots had fallen short
This was not extraordinary, because it

The Albion Nine.

The long litigation between the Rich
mond and Albion mines brought to a
close, so to speak, by the recent decision
of Chief Justice Leonard, has made
people familiar with the name at least
of the last mentioned mine who per-
haps had not otherwise heard Of it.
Without going into particulars as to the
question, or questions involved in the
suit, it is but proper to state that very
valuable piece of ground lying between
the west line of the Richmond and ex-
tendi Q four hundred feet easteriy, was
the principal prize contested for. The
piece of ground in dispute, and sup
posed to be very rich has been de
clared by our Supreme Court the prop
erty of the Albion. a reporter Of the
Eureka Sentinel, who lately examined
the underground workings of the
Alhion, gives an encourag ing account OF
the prospects of the mine. He says
the ore exhibited in the last ten days at
the north end of the cave in the Albion
exceeds in quantity the exhibit made
by the Richmond experts during the
recent hearing in this place. From
what we have seer" says the Sentinel,
.of GRE deposits in this district, we are
led to believe that the uneXplored
ground Of the Albion is equal in pros
pcctive richness to any that has as yet
been uncovered on Ruby HILL All of
which is coed news for several Of our
Carson people, some of whom hold
Albion stock ut higher figures than il
has Vet reached.

Suffering is our most faithful friend;
it is always returning. Often It has
changed it's dress and even its face; but

the richer and softer the deeper it is cut
into. ..@s
In youth grief is tempest which
makes you i'll; in old age il is only .
cold wind which adds wrinkle to your

There are people who feed them-

on it.
In great suffering you shut yourself
up like an oyster. To open your heart
by force would be TO kill you.
