Last Nights Meeting.

There was no noisy demonstration, no
music, no blare of trnmpets no firing of
cannon, no smell of kerosene 10 the air.
but there was steady gathering of the
most respectable people in the city at the
opera house last night until every seat and
every foot OF standing room in the main
part OF the building was filed with eager
listeners to the telling speeches delivered
by Hon. VIM. Hartzel and Hon. F. E. AL
bright. 1t was Mr.. Hartzell's day and the
speech he delivered its polished utteranc-
Cd, unanswerable arguments, telling hits,
aud its "truth that hurts" will be remem-
bered by all parties long after the excite
men of this campaign has died away and
been forgotten.
Mr.. Albright spoke for few minutes,
before he took the train for DuQuoin,
where he is booked for to-night-ln expla-
nation or answer to an infamous falsehood
published yesterday in that most infamous
sheet, the st. Louis Globe Democrat. The
story as published is so plausible that it
might deceive anyone not posted in matters
pertaining to the army, and especially to
the manner in which "reports" are made
out in the field, but no one who has been
q soldier, whether he be republican or DEM
ocrat, will be mis'ed by this statement as
published in the GID. that Mr.. Albright
holds unimpeachable proof is q lie and
that his opponent, Captain Thomas, has al,
ready acknowledged TO BE A LIE. the
charge that Mr.. Albright WAS a deserter.
The writer served four years in the army !;
was with General Buel, in Tennessee; with
Roscncrautz at Stone river; with Thomas
at Chickamauga; with the starring army in
Chattanooga; under Grant at Mission Ridge
and with Sherman before Atlanta, and

to get those rolls corrected. One case in
particular, 30 nearly parallel to that of Mr..
Albright, we. will mention here. A young

Knowing or caring what had become of
him, the orderly sergeant wrote on the rolls
opposite his name "deserted," and so it was
carried forward on the reports month after

Is q Crib Biting Horse Sound 2"

The Philadelphia Ledger says: A
case of interest to dealers in horses was
on SATURDAY. before Judges Thayer,
Elcock, and Arnold, in Court of Com
mon Pleas No. A. Nathan Fretz sold
to Thomas Johnston tS Son a number
of horses. Included in the bill was
charge of $265 for horse which prov.
ed to be, as Mr.. Johnston alleged, a
''crib.biter and wind sucker" He sold
the horse for Sl75 and claimed the
right TO deduct 800 the difference from
Fretzs bill. This the latter resisted,
and claimed judgment for want of a
sufficient affidavit OF defence. The
horse had been warranted ''sound and
kind and Fretz's counsel claimed that
CRIB biting was no breach of warranty
of soundness. A number of English
cases were cited, which hold that "crib-
bing" is merely vice, and judgment
in all of them was given to the plain
tiff, notwithstanding the fact that the
horses sold were "cribbers." 1t is not
to be noted, however, that the warran-
ty was "soundness,' and not a warran-
ty against "vice.' The English cases,
however, refer to the incipient stages
of crib-biting. When it produces struc,
tural changes and impairs the working
power of the animal, then, they say, it
becomes disease, and the buyer can
then well plead that the horse was not

Effect Of Sun on Trees.

DR.. Samuel Hope, of Atlanta, Ga, in
a paper to the American Pathological
Society, relates tome of his observa-
tions and experiences on this subject
He appears to be fully convinced that
apple, pear and peach trees, trained
with high heads and not protected ar
tiicially from the afternoon sun, dis
play irregular or fattened trunks when
the bark on this portion is not entirely
dead. This appearance, in his opinion,
indicates great disturbance in the cir.
culation OF sap, which has become un-
duly heated, and the deposition of
healthy woody structure. In this eli
mate small trees, if trained high, after
transplanting make no growth unless
protected from the evening sun. The
effect of the evening sun, as shown on
his own grounds, has been very marked
in pear blight.
Suggestions warranted by the wri-
ttr's experience with fruit trees expos
ed to the rays of the afternoon sun are
briefly as follows Nail two boards
together and place about the tree so as
to shade the exposed side. Where hill
sides are cultivated in orchards and ter
raced the needed protection can meas
ursbly be obtained by planting on the
slopes exposed to the morning sun but
shaded from the hot afternoon sun.
Low training and careful pruning, with
a view to induce the growth of low
limbs, will answer all purposes in more
northern climates, but at the South
nothing short of complete shade such
as that afforded by the boxing recon-
mended will fully serve with some
trees. A plan meeting all requirements
with gooseberry, current and raspberry
bushes is to plant them on the south
or southeastern side ef garden fence
OF wall.

Farming and Getting Rich.

1t may be wholly idle to attempt to
stem the tide that is rising with such
force in this country in favor of mere
riches, but in the case of farmers it is
as well to lay the simple truth before
them as to withhold. Without in the
least presuming to dictate motives or
aims to any class of men, we may new
ertheless say with perfect truth and re-
spect for their status and privileges,
that farmers of all men are the
very last ones who need trouble them
selves about riches as other people do.
Possessing and living upon their own
productive acres, they have all the re-
quislte resources of wealth constantly
IN their own hands. They are sure Of
shelter, of food, and of needful cloth
ing to toll and moil, pinch and screw,
starve and deny, merely to be account
ed with certain amount of money,
is only wasting the precious term of
life which might be used to far better
purpose.
We will indulge in no moralizing on
the subject further than to say that to
go without in order to scrape together
certain sum of money, and then TO
leave it behind without ever having the
productive and enjoyable use it, is the
folly of childishness itself. To provide,
with prudence and industry, against
the accidents of life and the infrmities
of possible old age, is of course every
mans duty, and should supply the
healthful stimulus to exertion but to
become a slave, to starye the higher
and better nature, and to deny rational
enjoyment to ones self and family
merely to be reckoned worth so many
dollars, is folly indefensible.
A man on his own farm, well culti-

waited and kept, well stocked, with good
modern dwellings and barns and out
buildings, master of both time and
acres, tied TO no hours by the call of
bells or whistles, free to come and go
according to the necessities of none but
himself, mostly in his own fields and
performing his healthful labors within
sight of the smoke of his own chin
neys, is surely as rich in the genuine
sense of that word as any man can be.
lie has nothing to fear and nobody to
envy. OF one thing he is sure all his
days, and that is a sufficient living /;
and that is what other men are never
sure of without a single pang of doubt
or apprehension. THERE'S his land there
is his home there is all the animate
and inanimate machinery of his estab-
lishment and for the rest he looks in
profound trust to the bounty of heav-
en-.
Instead of this unworthy and demo-
ralizing anxiety to get rich, If the aver
age farmer once beng solidly estab.
lished, would resolve to enlarge and
exalt his life as it is, to make more out
of that, to enjoy as much as possible
of what there is to be enjoyed, to
adorn and beautify his home-that
only paradise on earth--within and
without, he would fird all his daily
tasks far easier even to the extent of
being delightful, he would feel rich
where now with more money he feels
all the time poor, and he would rid
himself of false tyrant in the form
of increasing parsimony that holds bis
nose to the grindstone till he is flung
into his grave. Iffarmers only knew
it, they could easily be the richest men
on earth.-Mass. Ploughman.

Pennsylvania Grows its Own Wheat.

Pennsylvania does not do anything
by halves. 1t produces more manufac.
tured iron and steel than any other
State in the Union and more coal and
oil than all the other combined. In
the matter of growing tobacco to solace
the chewers and smokers it doesn't
take back seat either. 1t turns out
more carpets than any other State,
and there is scarcely an important in,
dustry in the country in which the
Keystone State doesn't stand in the
front ranks. As to rolling up big Re
publican majorities--well, if there is
any other State that wants TO compete
in that line they are respectfully noti-
fed that the race is free -for-all.
One would naturally suppose, in
view of the immense development of
manufacturing and mining interests of
the State, that agriculture would hold
a secondary place in its list of great
industries. With SO many millions of
workers to be fed, it would hardly be
expected that bread enough for every
hungry mouth would be grown on
Pennsylvania soil. Marvellous as it
may seem, however, the reports col.
lected by the official reporters of the
State Board of Agriculture show the
last wheat crop of the State to have
been 23,000,0O0 bushels. This amount
will furnish the bread for the entire
population of the State, the seed for the
next crop and leave surplus of three.
quarters Of a million of bushels for
people who cant grow their own
wheat.
This is an astonishing exhibit and
one of which tho people of the State
have reason to be proud. A State that
can devote SO great portion of its cap
ital and energies to its mining and
manufacturing interests as Pennsylva-
MIA does and still be able to feed its
own population, must be a prosperous
State indeed, all croakers to the con-
trary notwithstanding. And Pennsyl-
vania lie going to beat its present record
1t has any amount of lands yet until.
ed, upon which abundant wheat crops
will be grown in the future, no matter
who is President Times.
