Good Mother Woodcock.

Ny friend the woodcock has an ex-
cellent wife, and an excellent mother
that is. an excellent mother to his
children. He may have had an excel
lent mother himself; probably nc did,
for of all birds the woodcock mother is
the kindest and most affectionate to
her little ones. But what l. wish to
state, though I'll confess that, like
Brother Boreas, I'm a little long
winded this time, is that the offspring
of my friend Woodcock actually are
carried about by their mother when
they are too young to escape from dam
ger unaided. She does not carry them
by her DILL (no, even the cat-bird would
not attempt that), but she closes her
little feet upon them, and SO holds
them as safely as your mother holds
the baby in her careful arms.
In numbers of cases, hunters have
seen the great-eyed birds rise and fly,
away heavily and low, seemingly hold
ing something between their feet. Mr..
C. F. Holder, one of the, st. Nicholas
writer's, tells me that a Western sports
man recently had curiosity enough to
follow such bird. and a good chase
she led him, through bayfield,. over
brambles, bushes and stones, but he
finally gained upon her, and saw that
in her feet she carried a tiny downy
woodcock, that seemed not the least
alarmed by such strange mode of
travelling. The old bird carried il, sew
eral hundred yards, before alighting
with it, and then quickly disappeared
in the tall. thick grass.
Ny little Mrs. Woodcock is the proud
est mother ever knew. She thinks her
children are perfection. To me they
seem to have rather large mouths, but
she scouts the idea of that being any
thing against their beauty. To her
way of thinking a large mouth
gives an openness of expression to the
Woodeock is a happy fellow!- st.

Triumph Over Partisan Degradation.

The Democratic victory in Ohio is
truly glorious. Hoadly's majority is at
least from 900 to IA, 900, with Dem
ocratic majority in the Legislature of
twenty-four-on joint ballot. This is
decided triumph of the cause of pop
ular government over misrule and par
tisan degradation. The people are be-
ginning TO understand this pseudo Re
publican party, the controlling elements
of which are against popular govern
ment. Itobtained power, and has kept
itself in power by falsehood and fraud,
and deceiving and misleading the peo-
pie. And the wrongs it has committed,
and its gross violation of the Constitu-
ton and abuses of power have been COW
cred up and disguised from public OBJ
servation, but they will now be brought
to the light. And fifty years hence the
people will look back in perfect amaze
ment at the manner in which the coun-
try has been humbugged, deceived,
misled and imposed on by the leaders of
this most perfidious and grossly dishonest
political party, which has placed parti-
san ascendancy, power and aggrandize-
'ment above the Constitution, the Union,
and most sacred pledges of the public
faith. The high-handed wrongs it has
comm tied, its fragrant abuse of power,
and its frauds and schemes Of corruption
and plumber, which have heretofore
only incidentally cropped out OCCASION
ally in such affairs as the Star Route
swindle, the Salary Grab law. the Credit
MobA;er bribery and fraud, etc.. will all
appear in their naked deform;ty in the
course of time.
Ohio is great State, rich in its re-
sources. tiourishing in all branches of
productive industry, and growing IN all
the, elements of prosperity and great
ness. All the people need to insure they
grand future is good government. And
in Judge Hoadly they VII find COM
petent, ready and efficient public officer
in the protection of Their rights and in
fostering their great and growing in
terests. Washington Post.

The american Journal of Forest

The american Journal of Forestry
records an instance of handsome profit
received for ten acres purchased ten
years ago in Logan Valley, in Neb-
raska, and planted with black walnuts,
by Colonel Van. He gave 81 rs per
acre for the land, and after it was
handsomely covered with dense
growth of thrifty black walnuts, ten
years old, he sold the ten acres for
$1,000. The time will certainly come
when all this timber will be wanted at
an advanced and handsome price, and
there is nothing for which there will be
a more extensive demand than the best
large second-growth selected timber
Judging from the way in which our
native forests are disappearing. the
market will not be glutted.

Beecher's Bad Head.

For two months in the year Henry
Ward Beecher can't preach. In Au-
gust and September he takes his vaca-
ton and endures the onset of hay fe-
yer. And it is, so he says, something
terrible and tremendous. A man with
hay fever isn't accountable for his ac
tions. lie is merely a wild beast
frantic with shutting, sneezing and
headache. His eyes are red and so is
his nose. Every nerve in his skull
thrills with distress and his head is a
fountain of tears. lie lives only to fly
from seaside to mountain-top in search
of relief. And yet whether we call
this form of Catarrh hay-fever, rose
fever, hay-cold, or rose-cold, Elys
Cream Balm will cure it. This reme-
dy is simple, pleasant and easy of APP
plication. Placed in the nostrils it
penetrates and soothes the affected
parts at once, restores the impaired
senses and creates healthy secretions
in cases of the longest standing. You
cannot run away from hay fever, but
you can drive it from you by using
Ely's Cream Balm.
