the Senate last week that no pardons were
granted by him during the past year. 1t
may well be doubted whether any other
Governor ever abstained for atwelvemonth
from using the power of executive elem
ency. Governor Cornell's views on the
pardoning power are peculiarly conserva-
tive. In his recent message he said he
believed that it should only be used TO aid
in the administration of full and exact
justice. and not TO prevent or defeat the
just and righteous enforcement of the
laws.

Serious apprehension. if not actual dis
may. has been caused among the proprie-
tors of vineyards in Western Switzerland
by the increasing use and production of
fabricated wines. The manufacturers cam
not be prosecuted, for they sell their
product for what it is-a combination of
the elements found by analysis in pure
wine. Ninety per cent of their mixture
is water. which costs them nothing,
and of course they can undersell pro.
ducers of the genuine fruit of the vine !;
while consumers of low grade wines
would about as soon drink one liquid as
the other, even if they were able to dis
tinguish between them. 1t is apparent
that the problem thus presented for So
luton is a serious one from the fact, that
the prosperity of several Cantons is large
ly based upon the success of viticulture

Thirteen Years without sleep.
Utica Herald.


Thomas McElrath, Of Marlbaro,
whose case attracted wide attention
three years ago, because he said he
not slept wink in ten years, is still
living with oat sleep. He says he has
not closed his eyes in sleep for three
years, and, indeed, that he has not slep
at all for thirteen years. His neighbors
say that they have been at his house
at all hours of the day and night, and
have invariably found him alert and
wide awake. He is member of the Pres.
byterian Church of the place, and his
word is trusted by all who know him.
He is in good health, and weighs over
two hundred pounds. He is over seven
ty years of age. and does not work, ex-
cept on small jobs about his house.
He says he takes mo comfort at all
in life, but he has given up taking al
medicine, and waits "for the coming
of the lord"

Crazed by a Steamship Fire

Early yesterday morning man was
seen by one Of the officers at Castle
Garden hurrying an imaginary crowd
aboard one of the barges which lay at
the dock. The officer approached to
ascertain the object of the mans move
ments, when suddenly he shouted
"She's going down, men; here. I'm the
next passenger. All aboard now, shove
her of, she's sinking-there she goes.
Thank heaven we're safe" Two other
officers soon appeared, and afte. a Sc
we're struggle the man was captured.
His name is John II. Housby, of Ches-
ter, England, and he was passenger
aboard the steamer Rio Grande, which
was recently scuttled off Delaware
Breakwater. The adventures which
Housby went through there have rem

Of plowed land the other day with
pair of oxen as the motive power. In
some way he was caught under the
roller and the team stopped when the
roller was half way over him. There
they stood, quietly chewing their cud,
until he had nearly dug himself out,
when they deliberately started and
pulled the roller up on his shoulders
and stopp again. Their standing so
long in one place attracted the atteu-
ton of neighbors at work in an djoin-
ing field, who went over and found
WEIGH under the iron roller. He was
quickly relieved from his unpleasant
position. He had been under the
roller for nearly on hour. He was not
hurt, but very dusty, and hitching up
his oxen went on with his work.

wound across green fields, and passed
within few hundred yards of Judge
Annan's. Seeing this, q fact which he
had probably lost sight of, Mr.. Edward
Hay made detour to avoid the house.
This led him into picturesque glen,
which he followed. All at once he
emerged into the very grove where
they had held the picnic, and there at
the foot of the oak where he and Miss
Bel AMMAN had been married sat-Miss
Bel Amman.
The young man stopped and stood
still, trembling little ana looking at
her. She was leaning on huge root,
with one hand covering her eyes, and
sobbing.

The words seemed to escape from
him unconsciously as he FASTENED to
her. And then came another word
from Miss Bel Amman as she started up,
apparently as much the result of inn

AS they we're locked in each others
arms a moment afterwards, there SEEM
ed to be very little explanation. These
were natural, however, under the cir
cumstances, and were soon made.
Miss Bel Amman informed h er husband
that she had not the least objection to
being Mrs. Edward Hay; and when the
customary performances followed, and
Mr.. Edward Hay moaned his landless
condition, Miss AMMAN, or Mrs. Hay,
as the reader pleases, said smiingly,
as she leaned upon his shoulder:
Il will give your estate back to you,
as l borght it, my dear. The property
Of wife belongs to-hcr husband"
This charming young person had in
deed purchased Edward Hays proper
ty; and as only year had elapsed
since he had deserted her, she was still
his wife, and their possessions were,
therefore, in common.
Nevertheless there was wedding,
and the young people were formally
married by a minister. The occasion
was a grand frolic at Judge Annan's
hospitable mansion, and Mr.. Edward
Hay said to his wife, as she blush

Dust Bath for Fowls.
Western is Farmer.

An essential thing for the health and
comfort of poultry stock is dust bath;
especially sLould it be provided when
fowls are onsrnrcd to a close run in
summer, or the p ultry house in win
ter; it is one of the most etficient means
to rid poultry from yermin. Coal sshes
will do if nothing else is procurable;
but it bleaches the legs and plumage OF
fowls, hence is Objectionable to those
who wish to preserve the beauty of the
plumage. To properly prepare dust
bath, one may proceed as follows
Procure shallow box, say three or
four feet by FIVE or SIX, and six inches
deep. With fine dust from the road,
fill the box two-thirds full, mix with
the dust one pound of sulphur, aud
you have it, and the fowls will ENJOY II
often. The sulphur aids in the de-
struction Of vermin, and adds TO the
brilliancy of the plumsge and skin OF
their legs The bath may be renewed
occasionally as it becomes fouled oy
use.

ducing wages by the striking and re-.

The knights Of Labor" in this
country seemed to have recognized this
imperative law of labor, and have
placed their condemnation upon all
strikes as fraught with evil of various
kinds to the workingman.
The market in all branches of man
ufacturing productions has been falling
since the LIST of January, and continues
to fall. Notwithstanding this notorious
fact, a body of 1000 mechanics in
Cleveland are now on a strike, hopeless
ly contending TO overcome a natural
law which cannot be violated by force
In vain struggle to gain 20 per cent
more wages than the market will afford
they are abandoning the other 80 per
cent. hy non-labor. They are, in the
endeayor to force their employers,
really enabling their employers to sell
of their oversupply of goods, and to
save the cost of producing merchan-
disc for which there is no demand. In
some places the mechanics and their
employers avoide all strikes by a
simple recognition of the natural law
that labor is worth precisely what it
will produce. A scale Of wages based
on the market value of the commodi-
ty produced is made the standard
Wages rise or fall as this market price
of the commodity rises and falls, and
hence the question of wages is con-
trolled by equitable and self-adjusting
balance.
