INDIANAPOLIS, June 11.-HOn. ThOs,
A. Hendricks, Ia an interview con
corning Tilden's letter of declination,
said the news was not a surprise to
him, for when he visited Tilden in
August last that gentleman very krm'
~ announced his intenteion to re-
main permanently out OF politics,
On a succeeding visit in April last
the same determination was express
ed. Hendricks thought there was
little doubt that the old ticket would
have been unanimously nominated
at the Chicago Convention if it had
net been for the declaration of to-day.
II said that the demand for it among
the Democracy was almost universal
and greater than any movement OF
the kind ne had ever seen in politics,
Personally he felt no great disap-
pointment. He did not want the
office of Vice President eight years
ago, and he did not want it now. II
the old ticket had remained in the
field he should have considered an
election to that place great honor
conferred by the Pecple as a rebuke
to what they considered great wrong

Sheep for Mutton:

Wool is more important in this coun-
try than mutton, and with the claim
that the wool interests are not fostered
by the Government, the breeders OF
sheep, instead of using their animals
for all the purposes to which they are
adapted, confine themselves to a single
production only, and comp lain that
sheep are not profitable except under
circumstances that permit only of
unlimited range over free pastures. But
wool. while seemingly more important
than mutton. is really lot as valuable
if we take into consideration the facts
pertaining to the breeding of sheep for
wool and sheep for mutton. Our coun-
| try is so large, and some sections so
distant from market, that breeders find
it easier to clip and transport wool than
mutton, and they therefore direct their
attention to those breeds that excel in
wool product on, the sequence being
that no people in the world have such
inferior mutton as we have. 1t is i'm.
possible to find dozen tirst-class sheep
in one hundred that arrive in market
that may be classed as excellent. Such
sheep have been neglected in order to
produce wool. It is easy to estimate
the difference in cost between the pro.
ductiOn of wool and mutton, for, allow
ing that wool is worth fifty cents a
pound, the value OF fleece is not a
large sum; but if breeders will endeavor
to breed sheep that possess desirable
carcasses, with something else besides
the ribs and legs, not only would the
increased weight be source of great
profit, but we venture to say
that the extra quality. of mutton
that is produced expressly for market
would of itself add an additional item
to the receipts. thereby increasing the
profits. On some railroads sheep are
transported to market at so much each,
and the large sheep are, therefore, the
cheapest, as they sell by the pound
when they arrive at their destination,
and. although wool is easily baled and
shipped, there is still considerable
labor in shearing and preparing the
wool for shipment. There is portion
of profit also from the best mutton
breeds in the shape of wool, even
though it may be inferior, but it is
enough to pay the expense. The profit
from sheep should be made as large as
possible, and the addition of a few
more pounds of wool to the clip will
not compensate for lack OF size and
quality in the carcass In England they
find the profit in mutton is so great as
to make sheep a necessary adjunct to
the farm, which would not be the case
if they bred for wool. With the in
crease of population in this country
comes greater demand for mutton,
for we have but little of it, and that
demand is sure to increase. AS it in
creases the field for breeding sheep is
also widened, and if we are to COM
pete with Australia and demand tariff
to protect us, we will at least be safe
and secure against foreign competition
in the mutton supply. Of course we
find mutton in our markets, but such
meat could not easily be sold in En-
gland. The usual i!ocks that come to
our markets are very inferior. The peo-
pie are anxious for mltton--good NUT
ton-and it will be profitable to the one
who sends it to market.-Farm and

The Early FLY.

If the origin of all things Is a mys.
terry, the genesis OF the early fly is a
still greater one. Nor is this statement
anita sonized by an ancient and veil
worn notion that the whole is greater
than any of its parts-or, if it is. then
SO much the worse for the old axiom
1t is easy enough to see how the r.gn
of existence in general should be a
mystery. Existence in general is some
thing large and vague, and it is not
specially mortifying to confess ones
ignorance in regard to the origin OF
some tremendous generality. But the
| tiy-the early fly in particulars is not
general, nor vague, nor large. He is
particuiar-in his attentions, if not in
his diet--and very definite, and small
1t is therefore the more wonderful that
he should spring into existence out of
apparent nothingness. But that is
what he does. Nobody knows whence
he comes, but ON the lirst really warm
day he is here and ready for business
He never has any period OF helpless in
fancy, either. He begins full-grown
and self-reliant. He clings, to be sure.
but it is not for support. We never yet
heard of a fly who was not fully able
to support himself. And yet he soon
becomes insupportable.
But to re- urn to lis origin. 1t is the
general bel eff OF children that he grows
on window panes. and we do not know
tina any better theory has been devised.
That is where he makes his first ap-
appearance, at any rate. A manusact-
urer of window-glaSs who should patent
a process for making panes that would
not produce or nourish iles would make
a fortune out of it. We do not believe,
however, that such a process is posi-
bic. 1t seems to be an inherent and
essential property of window-panes to
produce flies. 1t certainly is an inhe-
rent and essential property of flies to
produce or aggravatc pains. And yet.
strictly speaking, flies lave no property
of their own. They live altogether on
other peoples property. Perhaps that
is the reason that such persons as Mr..
Ferdinand Ward are sometimes called
''too ily." At all events, ties are very
expensive animals The coming of the
early fly terrifies the housekeeper into
roviding wire-screens for his doors and
windows, at cost OF one hundred dol
lars Or more. 1t necess:tates the en-
shrouding of chandeliers and picture
frames. When the swarm arrives in
force it is very hard On Shoes. The only
consolation possible is.the reflection
that next November the fly will have
gone almost as suddenly and mystic
riously as he came.-N. y Mail and
Express.

Where the Burden Falls.

DR.. Donald n cod, a Scotch clergy
MAJ, recently cc!ivered lecture on
"The Sin of Cheapness,' in which he
argued that the craving for cheapness
and hunting after bargains is not only
economically false, but cause of great
suffering to thousands of men, women
and children. There is much truth and
force in the idea that he presents. The
all-prevailing idea to buy things for less
than they are really worth is undoubt-
edly the cause of much distress among
the class of people who depend upon
hard labor for 4 livelihood. The trades
men who are constantly haggled with
and beaten down in prices compensate
themselves by beating down in turn the
manufacturer, who makes himself good
by reducing the pay of already underpaid
people. The oppression finally comes in
nearly all such cases upon those who are
least able to bear it. If people persist in
demanding high-priced articles at low
rates the demand will be met to a great
extent, but the cost of it must fall he av-
ily somewhere. If those who cOngrat.
ulate themselves on having made q
shrewd bargain could know what their
shrewdness costs some poor. half
starved person that is made to pay the
difference, they might be less disposed
to exercise their talents in that direc-
ton Wisdom and prudence are not
to be underrated, but a spirit of greed
and parsimony that seeks to keep and
gain ali without regard to the welfare
of others. that never stops to count the
real c st of its selfish &C ,uisitions, but
is satisfied, if possible, to get them for
nothing. is spirit that should be stern
ly rebuked.
It..is nothing less than the ''sin Of
cheapness'' that has filed the markets
with shams and counterfeits. It has
been simply impossible to supply the
genuine articles for what people are
willing to pay for them, and SO there
has risen a regula- trade in counterfeits
and adulterations that can be sold Al
almost any price and yet yield profit
Chespness is not bad quality of itself.
but it has nearly lost its original mean |
ing and has come to be synonymous
with fraud and hollowness. It is good
thing to live cheaply when that does
rot mean living on the petty and heart |
less prime pie of getting the largest pos
siple gains with the least possible COM !
pensation.-M 7. Oossrvef.
