A HANDSOME HEARsE. THE other day
we saw on the streets an elegant, two
horse, glass-side hearse, built by Mr.. e. B.
Bear, of Churchville, and used by him in
his undertaking business. 1t is as fine q
piece of workmanship as can be found, and
demonstrates that our Virginia mechanics
can turn outsas good jobs as those of the
north. Mr.. Bear is doing q general cabi-
net making business at Church1ille, and
giving special attention to undertaking.
Hekeeps constantly on hand handsol nc me-
ordering them from Cincinnati in lots, and
thus always keeping his stock full. His
elegant ..hearse will attend all funerals
free of charge.

spoke from a table. He commenced by
saying that between Cleveland and Blaine
the voter must choose. Blaine. on the one
hand, had been declared by members Of
his own party not fit for the presidency.
Cleveland from boyhood to manhood had
had upon his character neither spot nor
blemish. He acknowledged that Blaine
was an able and brilliant man. /, said
Mr.. Tucker, have felt his power, and l
have tried to make him feel mine. In re-
| gard to the Vice-P Presidents, Logan was
continuously crying against the murder of
negroes in the South, whilst every day he
was butchering the English language.
Hendricks is the man who was cheated
out of the Presidency in rs, and his
denomination for that position in 1884 was
but the revival of the old ticket, with
! Cleveland as the successor of Tilden who
| was now too intirm to make a canvass.
But the question involved in this con-
| test is not so much one of men as of prin-
ciples. If the Republican candidates were
angels-and they are not-they should
| never be allowed to succeed because of the
principles they represent. What we want
| is reform, BY reform is meant the re-
moval Of the deformity which the Repub-
| lican party has brought upon the govern
ment. We want to go back to the Consti-
tuition and cling to it as the only hope of
the people. When | first entered Congress,

old fogy notions of the Constitution. and

ders that an animal can live at all upon
the product of what seems like dreary
waste of barren soil aud yet the Colo
RADIO plains are the best grazing regions
in America. There is probably more
grass on single acre OF land in the
Eastern or Middle States than in five
acres OF Colorado soil, and there is prob
ably more nutriment in one bunch OF
Colorado grass than in square foot of
eastern grass. The little brown tufts of
grass in western ranges are very nutri-
tious indeed. 1t cures as it dries on the
ground, and retains its strength during
the entire winter. Sheep and cattle live
the entire year on the product of plains
that can never be utilized for anything
but grazing lands. There are thousands
of acres that can never be irrigated for
agricultural purposes. They are quite
as valuable, however, for stock.growers.
Sheep thrive remarkably we'll on Col
orado lands. Ten years ago there were
not more than thirty thousand sheep
where there are now nearly three mil
lions. One man can herd twenty-five
hundred sheep.
Young men with a little capital would
find Colorado an excellent field for sheep
raising. 1t would be advisable, however,
for them to become familiar with the
work by first spending summer on
some sheep ranch, of which there are
hundreds in the state, and hundreds yet
to be had.
Recent statistics have proved that the
raising of cattle and sheep is one Of the
most remunerative of western industries,
aud one that is far more certain in its re-
suits than mining. If we could only
know of the hundreds of poor fellows who
fail in their eager pursuit of mineral
wealth, we would better know how small
the proportion of lucky or successful men
is. We hear only of the Mackays, the
Tabors and the Fairs. The thousands
who have failed have never been heard of.
Ia cattle and sheep-rsising the results
can be accurately relied upon if good and
careful management be the rule of the
day.
The occupation is healthful in the ex-
treme. There is life and vigor in the
air of the western palms,. L, Harbour,

saddled and bridled, he forced Quinquibio
to mount another aud ride behind him
toward the stream, on the bank of which
he had taken the crane that had figured
80 remarkably on the supper table.
ave shall see," said, he as they went
along. ave shall soon see If you are
right or wrong my fine fellow"
The Venetian perceived that he was
indeed in a difficult case, and that his
master WAS far too angry to accept any
excuse he could make, or to pardon him
if he confessed what he had done. He
looked around him to see if there was any
chance of escape; but Corrado kept a
sharp eye on him and would not suffer him
10 lag behind so much as yard or two.
Every object they passed seemed to his
excited fancy to be crane well poised on
two legs what then could he find to say
to his infuriated MASTERY
But as they reined in their horses at
the stream, Quinquibio was the first to
observe several cranes there, and each
was standing on one leg.
"See, MASTER" he cried, in great glee
it is just as told you yesterday, and you
would not believe me. Look for yourself
the cranes have only one leg and one
wing apiece"
You stupid idiot" shouted Corrado,
81 will soon show you whether they have
two legs or not" and then he cried,
"Houp, houp-holloa !" so Justify that, as
might be supposed, the frightened birds
stretched forth both legs and ran away,
out of sight and hearing.
"Now tell me-" said the master, turn
ing sharply to his servant, edo your eyes
serve you or are you blind as we'll as stu
pid 2 What have you to say for yourself
now-have the cranes one leg or two ?"
Sir" answered Quinquibio, humbly,
| but bethinking him of an answer which
might turn the current of Corrado's wrath,
"you did not cry, Houp, houp-holloa 7
at the crane last night. If you had done
this who knows but it might have put its
other leg to the ground and run away
as these have done 7"
This reply amused Signor Corradc
vastly, and he burst into fit of hearty
laughter.
" In truth you are not such simpleton
as men think you," said he; for you
know how to get out of difficulty by the
help of ready tongue. There, forgive
you this time but let there be no more
tricks played with my supper"
Thus, by his ready wit, Quinquibic
kept his place in Corrado's kitchen, anG
from that time was better thought of, moi
only by his master, but by his fellow
servants.-Au The Year Round.

The Festival OF "Juggernaut.v

The great Car Festival of Jugannath
held at Puri, seacoast town little to
the southwest of Calcutta, in numerical
Importance is only exceeded by the mon.
ster fair at Hurdwar. The number of
pilgrims who flock to Puri varies, of
course, from year to year, and is estimated
at from fifty to three hundred thousand.
The chief festival of the year occurs at
midsummer, when the journey of perhaps
a thousand or even fifteen hundred miles,
mostly performed on foot, is rendered more
oppressive by the intolerable heat, in spite
of which the weary pilgrim band, chiefly
consisting of fragile-looking women, must
push on, never falling short of their full
days march, lest they should reach the
hallowed spot too late, and fail to be pres

to secure their salvation. We should no.

grimage and the persevering zeal which
carries the wayfarers through all hard
ships Of the journey are diligently famed
by priestly emissaries, who go forth into
every corner OF the land preaching the
necessity Of thus purchasing salvation,
and of carrying suitable offerings to the
gods, or rather to the cruel harpies who
guard the shrines. By the time the weary,
footsore creatures reach their desired
haven, scarce able to crawl on bleeding
feet, the season of the rains arrives. Per-
haps for few days longer the sun may
shine, and the way farers, refreshed by
bath in some sacred tank, don the finery

bundles and come forth like radiant but

Quarreling.

If anything in the world will make a
man feel badly, except pinching his fin.
gers in the crack of door, it is quarrel.
No man fails to think less of himself
afterwards than he did before; it de-
grades him in the eyes of others, and,
what is worse, tends to blunt his sensible.
ties, and increases his irritability. The
fact is, that the more peaceably and
quietly we get on, the better for our neigh
bors. In nine cases out of ten, the better
course is, if the man cheats you, to quit
dealing with him; if he ISLANDERS you,
take care to live down his ISLANDERS. Let
such persons alone, for there is nothing
better than this way of dealing with those
who ipjure us.-Hilton.
