LARGE industry in young alligators has
grown up in Florida, and about the next
thing we shall hear of will be alligator farms.
The baby alligator is worth about 25c. to 81 I;
two-year-olds, SOC. to So; fourteen-footer
is worth s25 to SIS. Eggs are worth five to
fifty cents each. The teeth are used for any
purpose for which ivory will suit The skin
of a large alligator is worth about IS, and
the head, for mounting as curiosity, about
SIS. Evidently there are millions in alliga-
tors, and it is to be supposed millions of
them can be produced If the price keeps up.

The suggestion that Senator John Sher-
man, of Ohio, should pave the way to a
Presidential nomination by way of a guber-
material canvass in Ohio is, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, received by some of the most
ardent friends of the Senator with great
deal of seriousness.

A PARTICULARLY mean man lives at Cas-
eyville, Kentucky. That town is one of the
many overwhelmed by the Ohio river food,
and dependent Oh outsiders for relief from
prolonged suffering. Mayor jacob, Of Louis
vile, visited Caseyville some days ago, and
finding six families more destitute than the
rest, had $50 given to each of them. One
of these pittances has now been attached
for the satisfaction of debt by an unfeeling
creditor. The circumstances make this act
peculiarly despicable. It is not pleasant to
think that the world shelters a--thing--that
would be guilty of such deed. But, IN
fortunately, history proves that every COM
munity has its Shylocks.

the laying of the foundation fer future

Weallh-Creation, BY Augustus Mongre-

Commerce, with an Introduction by Simon
Sterne, Author of The Constitutional Histo-
ry and Political Development OF the United
States. New York, London and Paris:
Cassell, Peter. Galpin & Co.; Portland:
Lcring, Short & Harmon,
The revived and growing interest in eco-
nomic questions in this country has made
this American edition of Mr.. Mongredein's a
welcome contribution to our business litera-
ture. tits no longer matter of doubt that
the tariff question viii be leading business
and political issue for the next few years
and probably the pivotal point upon which
viii hang the issue of the Presidential con-
test in 81. Hence it is that there is a de-
mand for treatises on this subject unknown
in other times.
In this convenient work of 500 pages the
Free Traders viii fad presentation Of their
side Of the question that not only arranged
with nuch skill, but is full Of meat. In
short, it is pointed and brilliant treatment
of the question Of wealth and business that
deserves to be widely read. A specimen
like the following, as one Of the authors
conclusions, shows that he knows how to
''boil down: free trade taxes no indus
try, native or foreign; but among other adj
vantages it greatly fosters native industry
by affording it cheap, untaxcd materials
wherewith and wherein TO work, and allow
ing it to flow in its natural and most proita-
Bile channels"

The following from the Storm Lake
QowO Pilot, may prove of value to
some of our readers in the near future:
"One Henry Mckinney, of Ida county,
agent of lightning rod firm, is travel
ing over our county covering the coun-
ty with rods. The man may be straight,
but we have known of such men who
were not, and farmers might as well fig
ure up the cost of the work before they
get it done. The plan is to contract for
a certain price per foot and certain
number of points; then they nearly
cover mans house with rods, bring in
a bill of not less than 800, and in many
cases reaching $500. Then they pro-
ceed to record a mechanics lien, which
holds the property against any transfer
until it is paid. We know there will
be kicking in this county some day, as
there have been filed with our officers
twenty-five of these liens in the last
few days; some of them are for more
than $500, and one against man who
owns only forty acres. A word to a
sensible man is sufficient to put him on
his guard, and we trust our readers
will show this item to their neighbors.
There is probably no swindling about
it, but it is vastly more money than
any man wants to put on the foof OF
his house,

a Costly Painting,


Chicago can felicitate itself upon be-
ing the unfortunate possessor of paint
ing that cost $1,OOO,OOO. 1t is done in
oil, and is no larger than a well devel-
oped rose; and, strange to say, this Won
derful painting is living and moving
canvass, as it were. It took over thirty
years to complete it, and when done it
was net even beautiful. at night it
looks like symphony in crushed-straw-
berry style; time Arthur 1. The owner
would not part with his work of art for
love or money; so you can see that he
values it very dearly. He was at one
time a millionaire. He conceived a
passion for an eminent artist by the
name of al Cohol, whom he engaged to
paint a picture for him. The artist, be-
ing rather eccentric, concluded not to
paint for his friend on canvass, but up
on his friends body, that he might have
with him constant reminder of their
friendship. But, still more strange, he
chose his employers nose for back
ground. Day after day the millionaire
sat for his artist friend, and day after
day new streak of cornelian hue was
added to the figure, until the subject
had grown old and gray, and his money
had slipped through his fingers, and
was gone forever. OF his million dol
lars he had not cent, but of the picture
they could not rob him; that will stick
to him like a hungry girl to church
festival. The oil in which it was done
| was fusil-oil, and the brush was the
touch of nature. And now, as he wan
ders off through the back yard Of mem
ory, how he must kick himself, meta
phorically, for making such a mule OF
himself. We live to learn that we may
learn to live Chicago Cheek.

SWAN LAKE, AUG. IA.


Rain, mist, thunder, lightning, fog
and mud, has been the prevailing idea
for the past few days. Your CORES
pondent will back Swan Lake against
any other village in the territory for
good, first-class, rich, rare and racy
mud. Horses, children and babies roll
in it-and thrive immensely upon it..
Men and women are covered with it,;
and it sticks like blue blazes. Speaking
Of babies, it might as well be known
first as last, that Swan Lake raises finer
babies, and more of them to the acre
than any other spot on the American
continent. Other crops may fail; but
babies, never. The annual yield is i'm
mense. They swarm all over the trees
and fences, and under the wagons and
horses legs. 1t beats all how in the
name of goodness the owners sort them
out from one another.
The will of Calvin w. Hill was ad-
mitted to probate by Judge O. c. Stu
art on last Monday, VIM. Thomas Ne
gus Of Turner being appointed execu-
tor.
Miss NJ. Heileson, the beautiful and
accomplished secretary of the Advent
ist society, was in town Monday in the
