admit there will be more land put in
cultivation this spring than ever before

to come and see our part of the county
before they locate.
We undoubtedly have the best con-
veniences for cattle raising in the coun-

Timothy and clover yields good crop
and the farmers have all adopted the

crops of grass better each year.

The scientists who attribute the
present high waters to the destruction
of timber, forget that in 1892 and
again in 1S47 the waters were nearly if
not quite as high as they have been
the present season. Then the forests
were almost untouched. Somehow
the theory does not work out just
right.

A Bachelors Baby Wagon.

Thomas Mcknight a well-known
stone-cutter of this city and member OF
the stonecutters' delegation to the Trades
Assembly, has invented something new
and novel in the waynof q baby buggy.
A gentleman who has seen the drawings
says it is the most perfect and conven.
lent contrivance of its character he has
ever seen. When not in use it can be
folded and hung up or carried in the
hand like valise. Mr.. Mcknight has
secured letters patent on his invention,
and will probably not be long before the
fathers and mothers of little ones will
reap the benefit of his ingenuity. .-
TOMS associates consider it one of the
best jokes of the season, as he is an old
bachelor, and they are at loss to know
how and where he learned to study the
comfort of babes, and the convenience
of fathers. -,

How to Stop q Paper.

You have an undoubted right to stop a
newspaper when You feel disposed, upon
the payment of all arrearages. Do not
hesitate to do 80 on account of tender
ness for the editor. Don't you suppose
he would quit buying sugar of you, or
meat, clothing, dry goods, etc., if he
thought he was not getting his moneys
worth, and why should you not exercise
the same privilege with him? And when
yop discontinue paper, do so manfully.
Don't be so spiteful as to throw it back to
the postmaster with contemptuous l
don't want it any longer and have re-
fused written on the margin, and have
the paper returned to the editor. No
gentlemen ever stopped it in that way, no
matter if his head is covered with gray
hairs that should be honorable. If you
do not longer wish to receivea newspaper
write note to the editor like man, say
ing so-and be, sure that arrearages are
paid. This is the way to stop newspa-
per.-Ex.

A Picture From Life,

There is, beside Italian ragpiekers and
Irish laborers, class of proletarians in
the city of New York that outrivals in
dirt, misery and hopelessness( ANY other
class of down-trodden slaves in any
other country of the civilized world.
They are Hebrews whose misery we de-
sire to point out, in order to show how,
a class, that otherwise knows best
to make their fellow beings tributary to
their comfort may be degraded to a
level below the animal by the present
capitalistic system of production. These
Hebrews, of whom we speak, may be
found in the district south of Grand
street, east of the Bowery, the neighbor-
hood occupied largely by Polish Jews, who
make clothing for cheap shops. Whole
tenements are filled with families who
live thuddled together, sewing from
morning till night, scarcely stopping for
meals. In the majority of places are
one or two machines which the head of
the family works, while the other mem
bers do the work that must be done by
: hand. One cellar into which one of the
writers for the Bulletin peered will give
fair notion of the condition of thous-
ands of wretched people too ignorant
and poverty-stricken to make an effort
to escape. In the basement of an Ell
bridge street tenement, a room about
twenty feet square, were seven persons
at work. The basement was SIX steps
down the street, and ought really to be
called cellar. The. light came in
through the open door and through
some dim panes of glass left in a broken
sash, theother apertures being stuffed
with old paper. The ceiling was low
and the place horribly filthy, the. walls
smeared and soiled and the floor litter
ed with-ags and paper. Two old men
with long boards and strongly marked
Jewish features sat where the light came
down from the street, their legs crossed
under them, and stitched steadily with
out needing the writer, who stood at the
door looking in. At the same bench
were two younger men with the same
cast of features, who worked like ma
chimes. Still further back were two wo-
men, one an old hag ofrepulsiye appear
ance cooking something over a stove
and a younger woman ironing some fin
ished clothing. The light in the rear
came from q grating in the ceiling,
opening probably upon back yard.
The men were all dressed alike-in
kilthy shirts, trousers and slippers, with
ither collars nor stockings. A child
nxears played with some bones on
among the rags. The whole

For several minutes, while the writer
watched this group through the open.
door, not word passed that he could
hear, and the child was the only one -
pay any attention to him. A dull apa-
thetic hopelessness seemed 70, prevail.
