Don't Overdo It.

An old Quaker writes to the Cincin-
natl Gazette, in reply to question which
had appeared in the Gazette:
1.-The old Horace Greeley saying was,
Plant one more acre of corn. To it /
would give the emphatic answer,
Don't Now, the reason: There is
scarcely farmer who does not plant a
larger acreage than he can profitably
attend to, and the result is that three
acres hardly crop out so much as one
acre ought to; and we hear of twenty,
thirty or forty bushels of corn to the
acre where it ought to be from sixty to
one hundred bushels, and If the time
spent on twenty acres of corn were
spent on ten, and the manure dribbled
on the twenty were judiciously used on
the ten, there would be ten acres to put
in grass, set to enriching itself, and at
the same time making splendid pastur-
age for a half score Of yearlings, besides
realizing fully as much corn as in the
old-style way; and instead of blowing
the corn only two or three times, we
had better pillow It six times. Now, 1
know whereof speak. During q
drought, several years ago, a certain
farmer bid his boys pillow the corn seven
times that summer, and while the neigh
bors' cribs were very lean that year, his
crop was the largest ever gathered on
that farm"

A fight between rattlesnake and a

Fort Worth, Tex. The black snake forced
the fighting, gliding around in swift
circles, while the rattlesnake lay coiled.
The circles grew smaller, and the rat
tier appeared confused as the black snake
drew closer. His rattles ceasedto give
out the usual sharp sound, and his head
dropped as if vertigo was Selling him.
The black snake seized, by lightning
movement, the rattler by the throat, and,
winding about him, the two rolled over
and over together. In few moments
the rattlesnake ceased to breath. An ex-
animation of the dead body of the rat
tlesnake revealed fracture in the spine

The publishers of German novel
recently did neat thing in the way Of
advertising. They caused to be insert
ed in most of the newspapers notice
to the effect that certain nobleman OF
wealth and high position, DESTROYS OF
finding wife, wanted one who re-
sembled the heroine in the novel named.
Thereupon every marriageable woman
who saw the notice bought the book in
order to see what the heroine was like

mere was a fool. For many years
he lived comfortably. Then, little by
little, the news came to him from all
quarters that he was brainless fellow.
The fool was very much confused by
this, and was very anxious to find some
way to put an end to'such disagreeable
news.
At last a sudden idea frightened his
poor head, and without much ado he
put it into practice.
An acquaintance met him in the
street and began to praise famous
painter.
Mercy exclaimed the fool. "This
painter was forgotten long ago. Don't
you know that? did not expect that
from you. You are behind the times. "
The acquaintance was confused, and
FASTENED to agree with the fool.
What a beautiful book that is?" an
other acquaintance said to the fool, talk
ing of new book.
.'Gracious!' exclaimed the fool, "that
book is good for nothing; there is not
a single novel idea in it. Everybody
knows that. Don't you know it? Oh,
you are behind the times"
And this acquaintance was also con-
fused, and he, too, agreed with the fool.
What fine and noble man my
friend N. n. is said another person to
the fool
"Oh, dear me!'' exclaimed the fool,
"he is a well-known scoundrel; he has
cheated all his relatives. Who does
not know thatP You are behind the
times"
And this person agreed with the fool
and forsook his friend. And the same
sort of remarks the fool made when
ever they praised any body or anything
in his presence. Sometimes he added:
"Do you believe yet in authorities?'
Thus it came about that people began
to talk of the fool thus: "What an
angry misanthrobe he ISL "But then
what n clear head!' "And what sharp
tonguer' ''Ah, he is genius!''
At length the editor of large jour-
nal asked the fool to conduct its de-
partment of criticism. And the fool
criticised everything and everybody in
his own peculiar manner.

ties has now become an authority him.

not revere the fool he would class them

The Servant-GirI in Social Life.

Shortly after the Flood, as we are in
formed, Abrams wife turned her do
nestle, Hagar, out of the house on &C
count of her arrogant conduct, which is
perhaps the first authenticated instance
on record of trouble between mistress
and servant-girl. This sort of trouble,
which began so easily, still survives in
forms so various and often so exasperat-
ing as to raise the impatient question
whether the serving class is the only
dark part of creation which improve.
ment has failed to reach. The question
is, no doubt, full of aggravation and dis
enlargement, yet there has been i'm
provement, but it has been of slow at
tainment, forming no exception to the
great law of progressive social ameliora
ton.
Social changes, it is to be remembered,
especially of the alleviating and elevat-
ing kind, are always slow. We are be-
ginning to talk about social evolution,
and the new science of sociology which
treats of it.; but we have to take ages
into account before we can realize any
positive conception of advance. Much
of the barbarism of early society clings
tenaciously to the domestic relations,
while the modification of human nature

A still further reason for the slowness
of improvements the present case arises
from the popularity of the relations in.

the weak that are subjugated and en-

ers, the dependents, the drudges, and the
servile appendages of the classes who
have wealth, intelligence, and power.
In domestic life these relations become
organized with the abject class at the
base of the social structure. Improving
agencies will obviously not take effect
alike upon the higher and lower ele-
ments. Many causes will operate power
fully to maintain separate interests, t.
favor the superior class, and to hinder
their interiors, so that servants will be
the last to be reached by elevating agen

There is great excitement at and about
Lisbon, Ransom county, over reported
gold discoveries in the valley OF the
Sheyenne river. Lisbon is located in
the geographical center of Ransom
county. on the Sheyenne, about fifty
miles southwest from Fargo. It is just
now the center Of attraction for northern
Dakota and promises to boom as min.
ing camp. Gold is found in the sand
and gravel and in quartz formation
which crops out from the bluffs of the
SheyeDne. Ahundred and fifty assays
of the rock and gravel have been made
with results varying from So so to $500
of gold per ton and some silver. If this
should prove to be genuine gold field
it will overturn some we'll established
theories regarding mineral finds. The
region is far from the mountains and the
Sheyenne in its tortuous windings does
not traverse any known gold field. In
the centuries of the past there has been
an eruption along that section of Dakota,
which pushed the igneous rock from the
depths below to the surface. Lisbon is
located on the top of the narrow divide
formed by this upheAval which turns the
waters of the Sheyenne from south
ward course to q northward course. This
divide trends southwark and eastward
and passes out of Dakota between Lake
Traverse and Big Stone Lake. There
must have been considerable convul.
sion of nature in those days and the pre-.
sent indication ls that the disturbance
brought precious rock from the bowels
OF the earth and cast it upon the plains
OF Ransom county. At any rate the
people up there have faith in their fluid
and are organizing companies to work
up the rock and deprive it of its wealth
The following Lisbon Telegram gives the
size OF the first venture:

She was invested with the capital and at
one time could truly say "my right there
Is none to dispute" But not satisfied
with this glory her unwlse and indiscreet
friends, imagining that all power and
Dominion in the territory had taken up
permanent abode there, essayed to stamp
out tn sentiment for division of the ter
rilory, that Bismarck might be all in all.
In this they have not only been met by
rebukc from the masses of the people hut
have aroused the antagonlsm of a "solid
south.'' BY their arbitrary domination
they have cut themselves off from the
sympathy of The north which they would
otherwise have commanded, and the re-
suit Is they will have to fight their capital
battle comparatively alone. Her only
chance of holding the capital Is in the
division of the terrltsry which she is
fighting against, and if she persists IN
estranging her friends in the eastern part
of North Dakota, where the power that
can make and unmake exists, she may
have trouble 70 maintain her grip on the
capital of even North Dakots. BY her
