PAUL AND O'FERRALL AGAIN.-The
Funder is troubled to know why Governor
Cameron does not call a special election for
Congressman from this district. We have
no knowledge Of the reasons that influence
the Governor, but we can think of one that
may suffice. If there were dozen Con-
greSSmen elected here, none of them would
have any rights until the contest between
Paul and O'Ferrall, is settled. Panl's
| judgeship does not affect that. 1t the
House shall declare the contest in favor of
Paul, then new election will be ordered.
If it shall decide in favor of O'Ferrall, no
election is necessary. Till this matter is
decided, therefore, it would be like child's
| play to ask the people to vote for another
Congressman. AS contested elections are
usually about three-fOurthS Of a session in
hearing, it will be in full time to elect i
SUCCESSOR in the general election of next
fall should the lot fall to Paul. This will
strike the average sensible man as the
right view. Other fellows will hardly be
satisfied with anything. We guess the
Governor knows the people do not want
| more elections than necessary. Wocdstock
Varginiae.
Hon. John Paul was declared elected to
Congress from the Seventh District by the
State Canvassing Board. The Governor,
issued him a certificate to that effect. Had
he not resigned he would have taken his
seat in the next Congress when that body
convened in December next, and would
have held it undisturbed until the contest
instituted by Col. O'Ferrall was decided
| by Congress. Were it determined in his
| favor, there would have been no specia
election ordered. If against him Col
O'Ferrall would have been seated. Ac-
cording to the Vayip5as's own showing,
the Seventh District will not be repre-
sented, because of the resignation OF
Judge Paul. and no election having been
ordered for the 9th Of November. The
election of successor to Mr.. Paul would
not have affected the claim Of Col. OFFER
rail-, but it would have given to the dis
trict representative until the contest
| was decided, whereas under the present
arrangement the district will not be rep
Presented until that contest is decided. An
election in November would have Obviated
| the necessity OF q special election, apart
from the regular election day. Any way
| it can be viewed, the failure to order an
election on the 9th of November to fill
the Vacancy, is a mistake, and cannot be
explained in the light of the law, ofpublic
policy OF party interests, OF njustice to the
people of the District. There is no pre-
cedent for it and no means of defending it
consistent with what the law contem-

The attempt is being made to prejudice
the temperance people against the Coali
tion candidates on the ground that Mr.
Fulcher is distiller. 1t is true that Mr.
Fulcher is distiller, but it is also true
that he was not nominated because of that
fact. He was the unanimous choice of
his party, a large majority of whom are
farmers and workingmen. No special class
as class can claim him as their candi-
date. The difference between him and his
competitors is that he represents the peo-
pie of every vocation, whilst their nomi-
nation was due to the special efforts of the

Wednesday last was Arkansas day at the
Louisville Exposition. Land it was marked
by an event showing the remarkable facil.
tiles of transportation and the perfection
of machinery. Five hundred miles away
a bale of cotton was picked from the fields
and at once sent to Louisville, where it
arrived In the afternoon. At the exposi-
ton the cotton was cleaned ,ginned, carded,
spun, colored, woven, cut into suit of
clothing, made up, and the mayor of Lou
isville presented the same to Gov. Berry,
of Arkansas, who at night wore the suit
to the exposition.

This is said to be a good remedy for
hoarseness; Beat the white OF an egg to
a stiff froth, add two tablespoonfuls OF
sugar, the Juice of one lemon and

The Guinea hen often selects $50

which accumulate in large numbers.

Here is the receipt for an old
fashioned pie: Crate coffee-cupfuI OF
maple sugar, and mix with it two eggs
and aalittIe salt, and as much cream as
your pie-plate will hold. The pie-plate
should be a deep one, with an under

The dead leaves on squash vines
should be carefully removed and
burned. They are usually infested with
the eggs of the squash bug, and the first
leaves that appear are of no use as soon
as others form, and are then sure to
wither and die.-PrdiTie Farmer.
This is an excellent recipe for Ora
ham gems, and differs from any before
given: One cup of Graham flour, one
cup of fine flour, two eggs, two cups Of
sweet milk, one-fourth of a teaspoonful
of salt. Have the gem pans hot, and
the oven hot, and twenty minutes is
long enough to bake them.-N. Y. Post.
Experiments have proven that
musty meal is not wholesome food for
any of the domestic animals. Disease
and death have been directly traced to
its use. When fed to poultry, cholera or
some disease resembling it was the re-
suit. Cows to which it was fed gave
bitter milk, and ceased to thrive as well
as those in the same pasture which had
no grain; swine fed upon it failed to
grow or fatten; only horses were not in
Jured by it, and they escaped because
they would not eat it.-NeoO England

ThOrOughness and Neatness Paw.

Intelligent observers have generally
noted the fact that in every rural neigh
borhoOd the prosperous farmers are al
most invariably those who keep their
buildings painted, fences in good repair
and their fields free from stone, weeds
and rubbish. Of course it may be said
that men who have plenty of money can
afford to spend it for keeping up appear
ance. But this is evidently not the full
explanation of this coincidence of facts.
Men who make money, especially in
farming, are least inclined to lay it out
merely for show. 1t may be safely put
down as a general rule that the work
performed by most thrifty farmers is in
the direction of profit, hence, as neat
ness commonly goes with thrift, it is
quite as likely to be one of its causes as
one of its effects. There are exceptions
10 this rule, as to all others. Some
farmers accumulate money still more
rapidly, not by increasing their income,
but by system of grinding parsimony,
by robbing themselves and cheating
their families to put dollars in their
purses. These are not examples TO be
Initiated. The aim of most reasonable
men is not only to make money, but in
the meantime to live in a reasonable
and comfortable manner. To accom-
plish these objects it is not difficult to
prove that neatness is essential.
There are many reasons why habits
of neatness in farming lead to success.
Such habits are none too common, and
in every business the men who do their
work in the most thorough manner get
the best pay. The world is full of poor
work that of necessity can be poorly
paid. The farmer who grows his crops
among weeds can never sell his grain
at the highest market price, while the
extra care needed to secure absolute
purity is sure to be proportionately well
paid. Farmers understand this well
enough, as is shown by their periodic
endeavors to secure pure seed for SOW
ing and planting. If we go to almost
any market we will find that the bulk
of crops is more or less mixed, and,
therefore, unstable for seed and unde-
sirable for any purpose. Almost every
spring there is an active demand for
seed barley, free from oats or other va
rieties of barley, and not infrequently
farmers buy from seed stores, paying
from two to four times the price at
which they sold their grain the fall pre-
Vious. In almost any neighborhOod 8
farmer who will grow pure seed of the
various grains viii find demand for
his entire stock at prices enough better
than market rates to assure him a profit.
When we are told that farming is not
profitable, the implication is that refer
ence is made to the common slovenly
method. The fancy kinds of farming,
such as growing seeds and garden vege-
tables, nearly always pay those who in
diligently conduct them. Yet seed
growing and gardening are really as
true farming as growing hay or making
butter and cheese. They are only better
paid because they cannot be conducted
without close attention to details, and it
is in this that neatness consists.-AnaeT-
lean C1tLtiUdtOr.

The Red Man has a knowledge OF
some things in Nature that the white

The trained ear and eye, the sure
knowledge gained by some mysterious
feeling in the air." the Caucasian race
will trust implicitly where it has to deal
alone with Nature. An observer in the
West who has been impressed with this,
has taken pains to investigate the mat
ter carefully, and has discovered that
none of the cities and towns built on
the sites of old Indian villages have
ever been visited by the cyclones
and hurricanes that this year, in
particular, have seemed so universally
prevalent in the Western States. As
examples he gives Chicago, Omaha,
Peoria, ChillicOthe, and a long list of
others are cited, each of which was
built on the site of an Indian village
and bears an Indian name or one of In
dian derivation. The storms have swept
by, in close proximity to all of these,
but each one appears to have been shell
tered by Its natural position.
1t was noted long ago that the old
Indian trails through the forest and
across the prairies are still the lines of
the quickest and easiest travel. Ger
tainly these facts indicate the possession
of some rare instructive acquaintance
with natural phenomena on the part OF
the ignorant savage that civilization

Some months ago the charge was
made in many English journals, and
copied in some American papers, that
the greater portion of the church prop
erty in London was occupied by public
houses where Intoxicating liquors were
sold. The select committee of the Ec-
clesiastical Commission has since been
making a careful examination of the
statements, and finds that they are
false. In some cases public-houses were
found on property which had once be-
longed to the church, but which had
changed hands.
