WHY HE DIDN'T TAKE IT.

Not long ago AN old pioneer. who
lived in Texas in the days Of the ear
ly colouists, was boasting of the good
old times.
Why, sir" said he, 81 was offered
league of land for pair of old
boots.'~
did you take it7'' said the party
he was talking to. -.
mo, sir; didn't"
"No account land, I reckon:"
"Why bless your heart, sir, it was
the best piece Of land out doors.
Grass five feet high, clear stream OF
water running through 1t. and an un-
developed silver mine in one corner"
"And why in thunder didn't you
make the trade?" said the other.
Because" said the old man, in q
sad and rpgretful tone ofvoice, "Be-
cause 1 dilu't have the hoots."

ECoNoEY ON TEE FARM.

On the farm, and in all the various
details of rural and domestic lite,
says the Germantown telegraph,
prudence ami a just economy Of time
and means are incumbent III an emi-
nent degree. The earth itself is com.
posed Of atoms, and the most gigan-
tic fortunes consist Of aggregated
items, insignifica in themselves IN
divldually considered, but majestic
when contemplated in unity aud as a
whole. In the. management of u
farm all exssexIsenditure should
be systematicalIYa and the
income madaxa exceed the outlay as
far as possible Pecuniary embar-
rassment should always be regarded
as contingency of evil holdings, aud
if contended against with energy and
preserving fortitude, it must soon be
overcome. Debt, with little hope of
its removal, is a milestone dragging
us down and crushing the life blood
out of us. Be careful, therefore, in
incurring any peculiar responsibility
which does not present a clear deliv-
erance with the advantages which
wise use of it ought to insure.

HOW TEE WESTERN cIT1RssGaow.

A western man has been telling
some Pbilade!phians how western
cities grow. He says he went OF in.
to the mountains hunting. and, nigfs
coming on, he went to sleep in 8 tree
to be out of reach Of the wolves.
He was awakened early the next
morning by some workmen, who
told him to get down and finish his
nap on the court house steps - they
wanted to turn that tree into q dag
pole tor the hotel across the way.
He got down, and while rubbing his
eyes, was nearly turned over by q
street car and got his feet tangled

The Coming Newspaper.
From the New York Graphic.

Complaints are now made that
many newspapers give too much
reading matter. Or rather too little
fact in too many wsrds; too much
verbosity and fine print; too much
taxing Of the eye to its utmost power
of vision TO read what is printed.
People are dismayed at ssthe amount
put before them in the morning to
read. 1t is predicted that the news
paper Of 1900 viii be smaller than
iha, ofto-day, of larger tyre, fewer
words, and more idea and fact to The

CORN AND HOGs.

An exchange says: From care-
fully conducted experiments by differ :.
ent persons, it has been assertained
that one bushel of corn will make q
little over 1od pounds ofpork {gross).
Taking this result as basis, the fol-
lowing deductions are male, which
all our farmers would do we'll to lay
by for convenient refereDce-That:
When corn sells for l2a cents per
bushel, pork costs Il eents per pound.
When corn coStszsl7 cents per
bashel, pork costsH2 cents per pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per
bushel, pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs SO per bushel,
pork COSTS cents per pound.
The following statements show
what the farmer realizes on his corn
when sold in the form of pork:
When pork sells for three cents
pr pound, it brings % cents per
bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 4 cents per
pound, 1t brings so cents per bushel
III corn.
When pork sells for 5 cents per
pound, it brings IS cents per bushel

VALUABLE TIN DISCOVERIES IN ALABAMA.

From late number of the ASh-
land Banner, Clay County, Alabama
We learn of the discovery of large
ana valuable lodes Of tin bearing
,ocks, at the Broad Arrow Mines
near that place. Within the last
year Mr.. G. W. Gcsner, of this city
having secured proprietary rights 20
the above lands, has erected machin-
cay for crushing, stamping, and wash
ing the ores, and is now epgaged in
working on al extensive scale.
The ore Las hitherto been found
chiefly a. finely disseminated oxide
IN gneiss, as in Germany and other
localities, but indications strongly
point to the existence OF the compact
oxide, cassiterite, some where in the
lake. AS the locality is readily ac-
cessible by railroads to Talladeya,
Alabama, and thence about twenty
FIVE miles 10 Ashland it is confident
ly expected that this discovery and
enterprise will be the means Of At
tracting attention TO a section hlther-
to little known. The country is well
wooded and watered, OF a mountain
GUS character, and eminently adapt
ed for mining pursuits. II is worthy
OF mention that this is the first at
tempt in the United States to work
tin ore on the spot where found.

Montgomery Blair was born In
Kentucky in 1918, the son Of Francis
Preston Blair, the journslist-states-
man. He was educated at West
Point, graduating in 1855, but re-
signing his commission the next
year, after brief service in the Sem
inoie war, he went to 81. Louis
where he entered upon the practice
of law, and in 1880 was appointed
United States district attorney for
Missouri; from 1913 to 1e49 was a
judge of the court of common pleas.
In 1852 he removed to the family
estate, Silver Springs, Maryland.
where he died on Wednesday. In
1856 he was appointed solicitor of
the United States in the c0uIt of
Gains. During all this time he had
taken much interest in politics, and
previous to the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, compromise acted with the
democrats, but afterwards became a
republican, and in consequence was
removed from his office in 1858 by
President Buchanan. In 1860, he
presided over the republican con-
Yention of Maryland, and the next
year Lincoln appointed him post
master general, which place he held
till 1864. For time afterwards lie
was not formally allied to the DEM
ocratic party, but was prominent
in his opposition to republicanism.
After years he has again been an
active democrat, and served TWO or
three terms in the legislature. AS
a member of the Maryland house of
delegates in 1878, he introduced the
famous memorial to Congress set
ting forth the fraudulent methods
by which Hayes became President,
citing corrupt bargains and CON-
pacts to which Hayes and his
managers. Stanley Matthews and
Charles Foster were parties, and
praying for the needful legislation
to ascertain judieially VINO was
elected President, and to give effect
to the will of the people. Since then
Mr.. Blair has been before the public
only occasionally; as contributor
of political articles to the magazines.

PROF. SUMNER, OF Yale College,
is perhaps the closest student and
best informed man in the country
as to the working of our tariff laws,
and he gives it as his candid con-
clusion that "the people of the
United States would have saved
three hundred and seventy-three
million dollars in the year 1880 if
they had paid all the laborers in the
protected industries for standing
still, and ten per cent in
terest on the capital invested, and
gone into a free market and pur.
chased the articles made. It can
hardly be charged that the profess
sor has any partisan motive IN maxi
ing this statement, as he is re-
publican and not engaged in any
mercantile business.

may be everrldden and re-
versed on occasions, but they
soon right themselves, and
operate regularly again, the tenn
porary violence done them only
reacting to the benefit OF the in
iured. If Congress could make a
law and enforce it that would
permanently legislate the minority
into power, or could provide for the
punishment of accused persons
without presentment or trial. then
the Disconnected, sore headed fra
ternity would be delighted. Bat
these things cannot be while Amer
lea retains It's present form OF gov
eminent. The Edmunds law has
gone as far in those directions as 1t
is likely any statute can be made to
go, and the Commissioners who are
here 10 enforce the act have gone
somewhat further than the statute
itself, and yet things continue
about as they were, TO the annoy
ance and cbagrin of the Chicago
Times and others. The law is not
TO be blamed fol falling,short of the
work aimed at; its administrators
are not to be found fault with on
the score that they are not doing
enough; and President Arthur can
not be censured for negligence. Let
the criticism all fall upon a system
of government and of laws, based
upon the theory thai every citizen
of the republic has rights which
may not be trampled upon or denied
by others.
The HERALD realizes as fully as
does the Times that the Edmunds
law simply puts few more names
on the national payroll, and takes
$4,000 or $4,000 annually from
the public treasury. Long before
the act was put into operation this
journal pointed out just what its
effect would be, showing it to be a
piece of silly, stupid legislation that
would be more disappointing to
those who had clamored for it, than
nurtful to she people for whose
injury and punishment it had been

We can "catch on" to the extent
chat the Times hasn't q very exalted

law is concerned our eastern con-

@ents of which Congress has ever
been guilty. The intention of its

his proper level among his fellows
No matter how brilliant a man may
be, how learned, how noble, if there
b9 a trait of crankiness about him
he must suffer in consequence, snd
be more or less dwarfed. Blair was
a fully developed chronic Crank,snd
was personal and selfish with it, his
most prominent idea being that his
principles and policies were better
than those of the parties TO which
he happened to be attached. If the
party action did not please him, or
was inconsistent with his own
views, he at once proceeded to read
himself half out, or retire from the
organization entirely. Independence
in politics is a very good thing, as it
is in the various walks Of life; at
the same time the independence Of
one man--those arot nd him being
banded and allied for the mainten-
ance and spread of certain general
principles, all of which may not ex-

vidual view-is very apt to lead
him to failure. In other words,

One cannot be an independent and

but in almost perpetual disputes
with the leaders of the party, which
latter he finally left to assist in the
organization of the republicans.
