not 10 blame him for doing.
Back the Republicans tr0tted to Mr..
Gould with Gafiield's reply 1t seemed,
partially 1T least, to satisfy him. He
said, however, that he had no political
party Interests; al! VI. interests lay in
certain great corporations which were
threatened by Tie recent Act of Con-
gress known "a the Thurman Act, an
Act whose Constitutionalily was to be
passed upon by the Supreme Court.
When this was repeated TO Garfield lie
said that Mr. Gould ought to know that
he eni icrtaincd the same views that Mr..
Gould did respecting the interests Of
these corporations, and he wanted Mr.
Gould TO be assured that if elected
President, and it should fall TO his lot TO
nominate Il member OF the Supreme
Bench, that he would take great care to
appoint II man whose views in that re.
s::sii were the SAME as bis own.
This WAS taken to Mr. Gould. He
announced himself ds entirely satisfied
with il, but he made the gentle suggcs.
'i"n that Il be put in the form Of a
pledge and i'll writing. This was done,
aud il IS alleged that the pledge can be
produccd, as it is understood to have
been committed to the keeping of gen
tlcmnn who holds it subject to the order
of both parties.
Then Mr.. Gould warmed up to the
Republican party. Himself and another
subscribed $50 900, as is expected to be
shown before the investigating commit.

The proper picking and packing Of
apples is Of great Importance. The
best keeping sorts will not be preserv-
ed we'll unless the fruit is uninjured in
gathering and packed securely. The
most approved method Of picking is
by hand, with ladders, the fruit being
put in grain sack. The bottom and
top Of the sack are brought together
and tied and then hung upon the
shoulder. A short stick may be used
to keep the mouth Of the sack open.
The sack Is quickly and easily emptied
by lowering the mouth end and lifting
up the bottom. The sack can be
lowered into the barrel and the apples
will run out without being bruised as
when they are poured in from a bas-
ket from the top. Many apple grow
ers prefer to put the fruit in heaps for
a few days that the skin may tougher
before bsrreling. In short the aim in
picking should be to not bruise the
fruit, and in this way enhance its
keeping quality. The fruit should
not move about in the barrels during
shipment, and 10 this end the apples
must be shaken down when the barrel
is half full and again when full, after
which the head is put on and pressed
into place with considerable force. II
is much better to have the upper ap-
Piles somewhat hattened than to leave
the fruit so II will stir in the package.
The opposite head should be marked
as the one to be opened. The mistake
is sometimes made Of not sorting the
fruit. Make at least two qualities or
grades, and mark each package with
its grades. This will secure uniformi-
ty in the fruit in each barrel and q
better price. There is much to be
gained in the way ola reputation for
careful picking honest asserting and
the proper packing Of all kinds of fruit.

Advice kbich was Accepted.

A young gentleman, moving in
good society, but whose bank account
was by no means plethoric, sought out
one of our wealthy citizens about a
month ago ond told him he wanted to
speak TO him on very important af-
fair. Cresus said to his visitor: 81

TO be brief. What is it-business?'
The young gentleman thoroughly en-
barrassed by the brusqueness of the
other, could only stammer. "Very
important business "Well" said
Croesus, "let me give you this advice:
Don't put it off till tomorrow il you
can do it today. That has been the
theory on which / have made my sue.
cess in life" The young gentleman
stammered his thanks, departed, and
that very day went before a magis'
trate with the daughter Of Cresus,
and married her then and there.

he, for the first time, began to doubt
the universal applicability of this the

While conversing with a prison off,

latter was the most effective, and gave
the following incident as illustrative
Of his theory; A short time since q

his keeper that he declined to further
waste his energies in labor. He had
concluded 70 knock oil Prominently
and rest during the balance of his
sentence. As he made not the least
-pretence Of sickness or incapacity as
an excuse for his conduct, he was or
dertd strapped. This appeared to
strike him satisfactorily; be simply
remarked that was all right, he was
ready for the punishment, but 1t
would not influence him in the stand
he had taken an iota. IL took just
six strokes Of the strap TO convince
him that bis position on the labor
question was illogical and untenable.
He begged TO be released and declared
he would take no further part in the
management Of the prison. The gen.

ment applied to the degraded species
OF tramps who gil our jails, would
have an excellent effect To furnish
them with good food and lodging at
the expense Of the county for ten or
fifteen days, he regarded as no punish
ment whatever. And he is undoubt
edly right in this latter premise. The
Jail has no longer any terror for the
professional tramp. Il is in his line
and after short periods OF travel, par
licularly in cold weather, he casts an
chor in ils warm and comfortable pre-
cints without any useless regrets or
compunclion, and his standing in the
community Is in no wise affected by
his brief confinement The stone'

prove cheaper than running the stone

"The handwriting on the wall is so

Just as sure as natural laws produce
fixed results. New England has no
soil worth mentioning, and her wealth
has all been derived from her manu-
hcturea These are gradually leaving
her, aud eventually they will al go
some 10 the West, the most TO the
South, where the advantages for prof
liable manufacturing are located.
The coal aud iron in the South are
easily gotten at, and inexhaustible in
amount, and the iron mills, the foun-
dries and machine shops can go to
them better than they can go TO the
shops. The cotton and wooden mills
must go there, for the raw materials
are, and are TO be, produced there
most cheaply, uniformly and better.
Then look at the advantages Of the
extra hours of daylight in a years run.
This, of itself is no small matter. AS,
the South grows stronger, the wealth,

be centered there until she will be-
