"The help we get nowadays don't

help you hired in haying could do a
decent days work, but this year they're

Old Farmer Smith was getting in
hay at his farm in o suburban town and
had two or three new men at work with
him.
The old man continued: "Tell you
what it is, old as am, can pack more
hay on to wagon than any two men Of
the present day can fork up"
Suppose you try it, old man," sug-
gested one of the men, at the same
time tipping the wink to his mate on
the opposite side to ''sock it, to the old
man.
The old fellow needed no second in
vitation. With bound he mounted
the cart and was slowing away hay at
tremendous rate. Up came forkful
after forkful, first on one side and then
upon the other. The "help" was put
ting in its best licks, and the old man
was kept squirming around in lively
style, much to the amusement of all
the hands.
The "help"was rapidly getting tired.
1t would never do to give up and allow
the old man to come off victorious.
Something must be done at once.
when I put up q heavy forkful on

one of the men to the other, in ON un-

The plan worked we'll. One of them
lifted an extraordinary big forkful, just
putting it upon the edge of the load,
and while the old man was leaning over
endeavoring to get it in place, the fell

which of course upset him, and sent
him sprawling to the ground.

THE wooL araRKEr.

1 The following, in relation TO the WOO
market, is taken from q circular letle
sent out BY Walter Brown s. Co., o
Boston:
The future of the wool market is US
uslly the most uncertain quantity e
| predict about, and when the prospects
have appeared the NEST favorable, it has
not unfrequentiy happened that the re-
verse has become the established fact
The season of last summer and fall is q
clear evidence of the failscy in count
ing on the future OF the wool trade. At
shearing time the opinion held by q
large majority of those interested In
mercantile pursuits was that, with the
enormous crop of cereals and apparent
general prosperity of the country, an
active market was sure to prevail dur
ing the fall months, with an advancing
tendency TO the values of all commodi-
ties. How different was the actual con-
dition of trade during the tail; general
business became dull, money was scarce
with high rates of interest, and several
failures among wooden manufacturers
created a strong distrust in the general
credit OF the mills; a. consequence
the price of wool began to droop and
we see the rosy antIcipetions of the sum-
mer unfalhlled.
From these uncertainties appertaining
TO the wool trade, we are not disposed to
take so gloomy view of the future as
might be natural from the present stag
nation OF the trade. While manufactur-
-eEs have not met with much success
during the past six or eight months in
distributing their goods, they have
adopted the prudent course Of curtail-
ing productions, and we do not doubt
that with continEad favorable weather
the question of supply and demand will
favorable basis. The present prices for
fine domestic fleeces leave but little, if
any, margin for importations of COM
peting stock, even at the reduced tariff.
Therefore we see no reason why it is not
safe to anticipate healthy state of trade
during the year, with fairly profitable
result, with those who use judgment in
their wool operations.
Regarding the unwashed wool of the
western states and territories and of
Texas, the handling of which We have
made a specially for several years past,
we would say, that the great improve
ment in the character and quality of
these woods has brought them into in
creasing favor with manufacturers; with
each season they are q more important
element in the consumption OF the mills,
hence, rs they can hardly be said to
come into direct competition with i'm
portant clothing woods, and as the list OF
buyers is constantly increasing in num-
Der, we expect for them q prominent
place in the transactions of the coming
season, with values well maintained as
compared with the washed heeces of the
more eastern states.

TIE TEWEsBURY SCANDAL.


A prominent citizen of Lyon county,
who came from Massachusetts, and is
somewhat jealous of the honor of the
old Bay state, requests the publication
in the NEWS of the following, in rela-
ton to the Tewksbury investigation,
taken from the Leominster Enterprise {:
The investigation of affairs at the state
almshouse, before the committee on
charitable institutions has been con-
tinued the past week. His exceliency,
the governor, has at last brought out the
evidence about tanning SKINS" and is
Haunting il before the country, giving
the impression TO those in other states
that this is the common practice at this
institution. What does this story, in all
its horror, come TO? If tho evidence is
true, as it probably is, a young man
who said he was Harvard medical stu
dent, once took piece of Negroes skin
to a tanning establishment in Woburn,
and had il tanned And he told the
workman who did the job that the negro
died ut the Tewksbury institution.
The story that the body went from
| TewksbGry rests on hearsay. II
| does not appear that any person con-
nccted with the institution had the least
| knowledge that a human skin was ever
| tanned, but the act was done some weeks
| after the body had passed out OF the
POSSESSION of the almshouse authorities,
il it was ever in their possession. There
| seems to be determination on the part
| of the governors organs to represent
the Republican press of the state as de-
Tending the Tewksbury management
| This is not the case. There is nowhere
4 t. a. q
abuses exist. The fact is the governor
is trying to make capital out of this
case. The Washington correspondent
of the Boston Journal sent the following
to that paper last Monday, which gives
the impression that is fast becoming
| prevalent among the people:
Benjamin Spaulding, resident of
| Tewksbury, who is here, has been in
terviewed. Speaking of the Almshouse
| investigation, he is quoted as saying
"When it commenced the people were
disposed to believe that Gov. Butler was
honest in his motives and commend
able in his efforts TO unsaTth great
iniquity. AS the investigation pro-
crosses they have about changed their
opinion and think the whole affair is
rather a deliberate attempt to swell q
Butler boom than an honest attempt TO
Il
friendly with Butler. In fact up to last
fall was disposed to favor him warmly
but / cannot help sharing the general
impression of the people of Tewksbury
relating to the almshouse investigation
The investigation has certainly seemed
to be in some other vein than the mere
elicIting of the truth, and I think the
people of the state generally are coming
to this same conclusion"
One point the public should bear II
mind is that the evidence of which SC
much has been made relate to thing:
which are alleged to have happened
eight or ten years ago. The governor
himself admits it is hard to find any
thing wrong with tho present manage.
men. If the purpose of this investiga
tion is reform Il must be the correction
of abuses now existing, not of such a
might have been discovered years ago.
