haYe Been along the Ohio for years Iay they
never saw such a season before as this has
been for travel on the river. Usually IN q
season OF constant high water, as this has
b en-, there is a lull in trade; but the present
protracted big river seems to have been prov
idsntially sent to accommodate the need for
regular communication between points on
the river. Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock
the Diurnal landed al the wharf nearly
twenty-four hours olt from Parkerspnrg.
Her delay was oCcasioned by big business.
She had more passengers than she could
handle with comfort, and enough freight Tor
two fair trips. Tobacco, corn, leather
and produce made up . portion OF her load,
but the bulk OF 1t was lumber and tools and
utensils for use on the River railroad near
Mouudsville, which were transferred from a
point near PArkersburg. The officers said
this was only au average trip nowadays.
The building OF the Ohio River road has
caused a decided boom In river Transports
ton, though tue passenger trstiic cannot be
fully accounted for by this. 1t seems 10 be
the fashion this year for everybody TO travel.
The through packets find quite as decided q
boom, the Pittsburgh-C Cincinnati packets
having all the passengers they can carry
every trip.
ADJOURNMENT LIGHT NEEDED.
Pilot William Brookbart, OF the steamer
St, Lawrence, has called the attention OF the
INrELLIGEScER'S river reporter to the need Of
a Government light on the Ohio shore IN the
deep part OF the bend just below Bill liant.
This light should be placed, he thinks, Just
above Salt creek, near the brick house stu
ated there. This light has been made neceS-
sary by the burning gas wells at WellsbarR
and Brilliant. The one at Wellsburg has
two escapes, one at the we'll and another at
| the upper part OF the town. In approaching
| these towns at night from either direction
The wells are a great convenience a d the
boats car be tteered as easily as at dsylisht.
In going up the river pilots can get along
very well after passing them as the channel
Is pretty straight. but In coming down, With
The wells ouce behind the pilot, on q dark
night he has to guess his way for almost q
mile. Alight situated at the place indicated
would make a splendid range light and
would be appreciated by every river man.
| Pilot sandford, Of the 81 Lawrence, heartily
endorses Captain Brookhart's suggestion. II
is about time for the Lily to be up this way
ana the light should be established.

prayed: Establish thou the WORK of
cur hands upon us, yea the work of our
hands establish thou it"
All honest, manly, womanly work in
which you can make yourself useful to
your fellow-men - earning bread for
your family, if you have one; training
of your children in virtuous ways; cook
ing, mending, washing for them, as
Christian mother;-there's the Gospel of
the hand.
And how Christ preached this Gospel
in the shop in Nazareth! And so can
you in your shop, too. Why not? Your
saw, your auger, your plane, your
hammer. your hoe and pillow and yard
stick and scales may be just as conse-
Grated instruments of religion as those
which Jesus used when he worked in
the carpenters shop; and be just as
truly devotional as your Bible or your
hymn-book.
People get n notion that religion is
something connected with churches, and
what are called religious exercises; and
that is all. 1t is great misleading,
fundamental error. propagated by "thc
father of lies" and which the whole
life of Christ ought to explode.
Of course, mere work is not religion.
But work inspired, enthuscd by the love
of God and the Spirit of Christ and
good will to man this is religion;
the kind the world needs most, and out
of which its regeneration is TO come.
Christian love and loyalty and principle
put into the Gospel of the hands. S.

Playing IL ON the Farmers.

This section is just now infested with
A nest of sharpers, who are PLAYING upon
credulous people, and lining their peck
cts with dncats at their expense. The
boidest and most extensive operator is
a fellow who claims to be agent for a
sewing-machine company. His plan is
to leave six machines with an unsus-
pecting farmer, agreeing with him in
writing that if he sells five of them at
fifty dollars each he is to have the sixth
for his trouble; that if the machines are
not sold at the end of six months, the
agent is to take them hack, and make
no charge for the use of one by the
farmer As before stated, this contract
IS signed by the farmer, and has the APP
pearance OF fairness on its face; but il
is delusion and snare to him who
putteth his name to it, as large numbers
have found out to their sorrow. The
piece of paper is one of those little iok-
ers which can be turned by simply tear
ing it in two, into a note for $3.50,
which the alleged general agent
takes at once to an innocent party, who
discounts it, and then there is nothing
left for the signer to do but to pay il
when it becomes due. One of these
swindlers has been operating in Hazel
Green Township and in other parts of
Southern Wisconsin, and has caught
scores of farmers by his little game. A
similar dodge has been played in one or
two towns in this county, and this item is
written for the purpose ofputting people
on their guard. -GaIeia GU } Gazettc

Colts.

You can not beat and swear a colt
into good horse. This course has been
pursued ever since the first few colts
were foaled, and the universal verdict
is that it is lamentable failure. Even
they who whip the hardest and swear
the lOudest will agree to that verdict.
The Arab, as is well known, brings the
horse to such marvellous perfection as
characterizes Arabian horses, through
the exercise of unvarying kindness from
the time the colt is foaled until the
horse dies. The family and the colt
occupy the same apartment frequently.
and the animal is ut all times perfectly
familiar with the voice and touch of
those about him. He fears nothing.
for there is nothing to fear. He learns
from the very beginning that man is his
friend and protector. The idea of mas
ter which obtains among us, is never
entertained in Arabia, while in truth the
Arabian is more truly and perfectly the
master of the animal than we are. We
are apparently satisfied with the name.
and with what satisfaction comes from
acting the role of the tyrant, while the
Arab seeks-the reality and does not as
pfre TO be tyrannical.
AS soon as we learn the important
lesson which Arabian horsemaHship
teaches we shall have more good hdfses.
and shall be better Satisfied with orr
selves. We shall then find the colt
broken at the time we now usually be-
gin to break it, for from the very com
mencement of its existence, we shall
begin to accustom il to being handled.
and gradually accustom il to trappings
winch viii resemble the harness, until
when the time comes for turning the
play into reality, the work will have all
been done. This should be the aim of
every horse breeder. The confidence
OF the colt should be early won, and it
can be won much easier in colthood
than 1t can be when the time has ar
rived that we now call the breaking
time.
The age at which colt should be put
to work should be when it has substan
tally obtained its growth, or rather
when 1t has become perfectly developed.
The most of our colts are put to work
too young, especially If they have grown
rapidly. 1t may be said that our colts
are usually broken from one to three
years sooner than they should be-

What IL Is to BE Manly.

Every young man considers it high
praise to be called ''manly fellow"
and yet how many false ideas there are
of manliness!
Physical strength is not the test. Sam
son was endowed with tremendous
bodily powers. He was grand speci-
men of humanity. See him rending the
lion as he would a kid. or carrying away
the gates of GAIA! But he was a weak
creature after all, unable to resist the
wiles of an artful woman
Great intellect is not the best of true
manhood. Some of the most intellectual
men who have ever lived were not
manly. Lord Francis Bacon was u
prodigy of intellect. The sciences sat
at his feet, cXtolling him rs their bene-
factor; vet we see him led down Tower
Hill, n prisoner, for swindling.
Fast living is not true manliness.
Some men think that to strut, and puff.
and swear, is to be manly. To some
the essentials of manliness are to " toss
off their glass like man." "spend
money freely like man." smoke like Il
man, - drive fast horse like man."
forgetting that virtue is true manliness.
Temperance, chastity, truthfulness, for.
titudc and benevolence are the charac-
teristics and essentials of manliness.
To be manly is to be honest, gcner-
Gus, brave, noble and pure in speech
and life The highest form of manli-
ness is goodness. Some one has said:
AN honest man is the noblest work oi
God. )" but the man who is honest to.
ward God and toward his fellow-man-
in short Christian man-is the noblcst
work of God. u. B. Cough.

The Gospel OF Work.


This was the Gospel of the first cent
ury. I'VE read of ''thc Acts of the
Apostles the work of faith and labor
of love-" and are told to "work out our
own salvation"
The Gospel has more 10 do than just
to get individual souls to Heaven. 1t is
to rear a Christian civilization, to build
up Righteousness in the earth, to redeem
society from the evils that prey upon it,
to lift from the heart of humanity the
burdens under which "the whole crea-
ton groans and travails in pain"
Our view of the /" Kingdom OF God
is too meager if we do not take in all
this. And how much the hand has to
do in bringing this to pass! We need
converted hands, consecrated hands, as
well as hearts.
Some of you, brethren, think you have
very little talent to talk; very poor
gift at prayer; and so it may be. But
God has given you two good strong
hands. Use them for him. The Gospel
of the hand is as Scriptural rs the
Gospel of the heart; the Gospel of work
is as orthodox as that of prayer With
out the two together, the world has no
Gospel at all. The Bible order is to
pray out your work, and then to work
out your prayers. So the Psalmist

A Good Word for the Mule.

1T seems little strange that so few
mules are used in this city and New En-
gland, as compared with other parts of
the country. In fact people have little
idea of the mule ; capacity. A Market
street livery man is attracting consider
able attention by driving n fancy
matched pair attached to his family car
riage, n common custom in Southern
cities. These came from Minnesota and
are rated there at $500, more than any
except the very best horses. AtTthe
South 5000 is not regarded as very
hish-for.S pair-of the right kind. These
are good for their ten miles an hour on
the road, aud they seem to have no idea
of what it is to misbehave. A Spring.
field man. who formerly had charge of
the repairs on a long California tele-
graph line. says that he drove a mule
that could make his mile in three min
utes without any trouble The horse
railroad company have worked a pair
of little fellows for seven years, and dur
ing that time there have been only two
days when both of them were not able
to do full duty. The Superintendent
says that they can make two or three
more trips day than pair of horses.
and they eat but half as much. Their
disposition is warranted as A No. !. ex.
cept that a green driver will ruffie their
serenity now and then. The comnany
owns one other mule, which proudix
helps the Watershops car up the Central
street hill, and is a rather poroeous
spectacle with his white fly netting and
his stalwart negro driver. Aside from
these there is plebian pair of mules

Secret Of Raising Turkeys.

One of our most successful breeders
remarks on this point: One great
secret of raising turkeys is to take
care, and take care all summer; and
even then you can not raise them, for
sometimes they will not lay, or they
will not hatch, or something will befall
them. Sometimes we raise turkeys
without much care, when the season is
specially favorable, but generally the
measure of care is the measure of sue
cess. a boy ten or twelve wears old,
with little direction from his father,
can easily take care of two hundred
turkeys, and he can not earn so much
money on the farm in any other way.
1t is an old maxim that if thing is
worth doing it is worth doing we'll.
Some may think this constant care is
too much trouble to raise turkeys.
This is free country, and you can
omit any part, or the whole, of these
suggestions. If you know a better
course, by all means pursue it. This
painstaking has made turkey-raising
about rs sure rs any other branch of
farm industry. l have usually kept
from eight to ten turkeys rs breeders.
and have raised from ninety-nine to
one hundred in summer. In
1860 L sold my turkeys for
twenty-seven cents a pound, amount
ing to S2S0.40. In 1869 | sold for
twenty-five to twenty-seven cents Il
pound, gross amount of sales, 1886. II.
That year l kept an account of eX-
penses, and calculated the net profit at
f2l3.58. In 1870 | sold for twenty five
cents pound; amount of sales, S3l1-
30. In 1871 | sold for eighteen cents a
pound; gross amount of sales, 1886. %.
would rather raise turkeys and sell ut
fifteen cents than to raise pork and sell
at ten cents n pound. Perhaps in fatten-
ing pork you can save the manure bet
ter, but the turkey droppings, if gath
cred and saved every week and kept
dry are worth half as much rs guano,
and are certainly worth cent a
pound.
The turkey crop is steadily increas-
ing in value, not more by the increased
number of farmers who make this a
speciality in their poultry raising. than
by the increased attention and skill of
those who have long been in the bust
ness. Care in selecting stock for breed
ing brings ample rewards The pros
pect was never better than now for the
extension of the business among the
farmers who have a good range and
good markets. The average size of tur-
KEYS in the districts where the business
is made speciality is steadily increasing
and we look for still further improve
mcnts.-LdncdSter Farmer.
