Toms reputation for ready moneyed
man, who would lend money out for q
good consideration, soon spread abroad.
Everybody remembers the time of Gov
ernor Belcher when money was particu-
larly scarce. 1t was time OF paper
credit. The country had been deluged
with government bills, the famous Land
Bank had been established there had
been rage for specializing the people
had run mad with schemes for new settle
ments; for building cities in the wilder

OF grants, and townships, and Eldorados,
lying nobody knew where, but which
everybody was ready to purchase. In n
word, the great specializing fever which
breaks out every now and then in the
country, had ragged TO an alarming degree,
and everybody was dreaming of making
sudden fortunes from nothing. AS usual
the fever had subsidized; the dream had
gone off, and the imaginary fortunes with
it (; tho patients were left in doleful
plight, and the whole country rcsounded
with the consequent cry of "hard times. "
At this propitious time of public dis.

Boston. His door was soon thronged by
customers. The needy and adventurous

A Missouri editor, Col. Jake Child,
of the Richmond Conservator, recently
received bottle of old whiskey, and
this is the effect it had on him:
I'VE were the recipient of a flask of
pure corn syrup few days since from a
barrel of Bourbon that had just been
tapped in the GrottO, golden as the am
Der beads that glow on the swelling
breasts Of eastern houri and as mild
and fragrant as the odorOus breath of a
May morn, cleaning like the face of an
inspired enthusiast whose mission on
earth is to relieve fallen humanity. II
was like the immaculate Sunday school
scholar that We read about too good to
live, and we watched it fade away like
the souls of the just until nothing was
left but the frail casket that had inurn-
ed it, around which the aroma fingered,
but the subtle spirit had evaporated
leaving fragrant memory. Such soul
stirring elixir may be a revelation to
man, Of the benefits to be derived from
the ear of tasselated maize, but to us it
is more Of an inspiration, when taken
in broken doses, unloosing the sluggish
life current, converting it into the wild
and impetuous courses that nature in
tended it, flooding ones whole being
with flush of joy akin to that when he
snatches kiss for the first time from
the lips of his chosen one"

What Governors Cost.

The two highest salaried governors of
the states are those of New York and
Pennsylvania, who receive SIC, 600 year
each. The next highest are those of
California, Nevada and Illinois, who
get So, 600 each. The governors of Col
orado, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri,
New Jersey, Virginia and Wisconsin
are paid SIS, 900 each. Most of the 9TH
er governors are paid from 81 500 to ST..
600, which latter figure is the pay allow
ed by the great state of Ohio. Most of
the southern states pay 5000 to 81 600.
The lowest Salaries paid are to the gov
ernors Of Vermont, New Hampshire.

ceive but one thousand each. No won-

Pretty soon it occurred to me to look
around at the man who was irving to
get past US. What an expression! The
eyes were fixed in their sockets, looking
straight at the tanks of the horses, the
thick coarse lips were tightly drawn,
the deep lines on either side Of the nose
were sunken and powerfully marked,
the temples were intersected with swol-

anxious frown, and 1 never in my life
saw such another picture of low, brutal
excitement. 1t was the tension the ell

horses, his buggy and himself to smith

An ELOQUENT Passage.

The following eloquent passage is
from the pen Of the lamented George
d. Prentis:
at cannot be that earth is mans last
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our
life Is mere bubble cast up by eterni-
ty to float moment on its waves and
then sink into nothingness. Else why
is 1t that the glorious aspirations which
leap like angels from the temple of
ones heart are forever wandering un-
satisfied? Why is it that the stars that
hold their festival around the midnight
throne are set above the grasp of our
faculty, forever mocking US with their
unapproachable glory? And finally,
is it that the brightest forms Of human
beauty presented to our view are taken
from us, leaving the thousand realms
Of affection to dow back In Alpine tor
rents upon our hearts There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades; where
the stars will be spread out before US
like the islands that slumber in the
ocean ; and where the beautiful beings
which pass before us like shadows will
stay in our preseaee forever"

The great fight among the beef breeds
Of cattle must hereafter hinge on the
matter of early maturity more than
on anything else. Contest after contest
has demonstrated that there is but lit
tie difference in the quantity or quality
Of the beef they will yield. Indeed SO
close has been the fight that there has
never been fat stock show held in this
country in which there was not some
division Of honors between the two
leading candidates for the favor of the
feeder. Under such circumstances as
these 1t Is no easy matter for either
breed to hold any special honor gained,
fact which heightens the struggle for
development of precocity in beef max
ing points. The old theory that prime
beeve could only be made through long
years of feeding has long since beenex-
plOded. The ripe five-year-old and six
year-old are now rarely seen in the mar
ket. Indeed the proportion of four
year-olds is also on the decline. Three
year-olds, however, seem to be growing
more numerous every year, and are be-
coming the staple ripe beeves of the
country, Notwithstanding it was once
thought that cattle could not be put in
first class order at that age. Even two
year-olds aro now coming into promi-
nenee among prize beeves, although
their meat hardly grades with that of
the three-year old in the judgment of
the experienced buyer. All of this
shows the general drift OF feeding is to-
ward placing cattle on market at a
younger age. Stockmen have learned
that early maturity means sprofit, while
experience has shown them that, in a
course of years, margins are slender in
deed where ripening is a process ex
tending through season after season
Breeders of beef cattle are necessarily
guided by this popular tendency, ant
are leaving nothing uhdone which car
develop their stock more fully in the di
rection indicated. The question as t.
what breed will lead in this matter il

other unsettled ones in live stock econ

Here is the way st. John puts the
aims Of the republican party, as We clip
it from q summary Of a recent speech
Of his In Massachusetts,:
HE had always been republican but
he never could see the justice of giving
the ballot to the ignorant colored man
Of the south and denying it to his 1.-THE
speaker'sl wife, who was born and edu-
Gated in this country. The white peo-
pie need education as well as the blacks.
He gave the republican party q severe
and eloquent tongue-lashingf fer its cow
ardly position in regard to the liqor traf-
fic. Not this year, is the favorite cry
OF that party, and temperance people
are expected to fall into line for the
party, and all the time the work of the
dramshop goes on. He claimed that. as
long as the republican party maintains
its present cowardly attitude on this
great question, 1t was digging its own
grave, and before an enlightened people
and an aroused conscience II would die.
AS IT OUGHT TO DIE.
We give it without comment, as we
believe that no comments OF ours could
bring out woman suffrage, prohibition
and general and impracticable fanati-
cism any palmer.
