The pulse was still beating, but the

supposed he adjusted the straps while

was born, at Point Pleasant, Ohio, came
very near being carried away by the
floods during the recent overflow. Cler-

the overflow occurred acres of land were
submerged. The waters rose to within a
short distance of General Grants old

it away, but. fortunately subsidized before

MDONALD'S PRUDENCE.

In one of the comedies PLAYED by the
Wyndham company the principal char
acter inherits from his mother a headlong
courage and from his father an overmas-
tering prudence. The consequence of
this homogeneous mingling of qualities is
that his courage is constantly prompting
him to Hazardous enterprises, the execu-
ton of which is checked and thwarted in
mid career by the prudence inherite~
from his father.
Ex-senator Joe Mcdonald, of Indiana,
must have had just such father and
mother. As an aspirant for the presdeD-
cy, he began sounding the clarion for
tariff reform last summer. His mother s
courage then fired his veins. Now the
paternal legacy of prudence has gained
the ascendant, and he is reported to have
gone to Washington to urgethe Demo
cratic leaders not to agitate the tarif'ques
ton The whole question, he thinks, will
settle itself within the next ten years.
Nothing could be more prudent. With
Mcdonald as a candidate the Democrats
would adopt brief but comprehensive
platform As neat and safe one we
recommend the following:
Don't agitate anything.
Let matters settle themselves.
One great obstacle hitherto in the way
of Democratic success has been the fear
with which the business interests of the
country have regarded it. The party has
managed to include in its platforms some
plank which seemed to menace the pros
perity or honor of the country. 1t pro-
posed to pay off the national debt in
greenbacks it, threatened to repeal the
resumption act, and it demanded the
withdrawal of all protection from Amer
lean industries But with snch candi-
date as Mcdonald, on such platform as
is suggested, there would be no justiica-
ton for alarm on the part of anybody

Mississippi election outrages, swore that
mob of armed white men came TO their
houses just previous to last falls election

heads, made them promise to vote the

GOLD DISCOVERED WHICH WAS BURIED
DURING THE CIVIL WAR.

ELLAvILLE, Ga, February 16.-While
digging on the plantatien OF. Rev. John
r. Respass, in ~chley county, two negro
boys unearthed a box containing $345 in
gold and silver coin, and Bank OF
England note for ESQ. The discovery
of the box brings forth an interesting
story. When General Wilson ralded
Georgia, capturing Macon and Colum-
bus, toward the close of the war, many
Southerners buried their treasures to
evade confiscation. Among others. John
r Respass, then of Schley county, had
50, 900 in gold and silver coin, and Mrs
Respass buried it in different parts of the
plantation After the excitement was
over, they began to gather up the buried
money, but failed to locate one box
containing about $500. Thy searched
repeatedly for the lost treasure, but in
vain. The box found was the one hid

AN ESTIMATE OF STRAW.

Many old strawstacks may be seen in
this part of the country standing undis-
turbed year after year. On my farm, if
straw gets to be more than one year old,
it is because | consider it worth saving
for fodder in case 1 should happen to
run short of feed the following year. In
the first place | make the straw as good
as possible | would mucn rather cut it
a little too green than have it over-ripe
Besides, have found that | waste less
grain by early harvest. If cut when
properly ripe there is scarcely any waste,
except by slovenly work. If cut when
over-rIpe, as is often the case around
here, there is waste both by breaking off
of heads and by Smelling Ii there must
be waste-aud sometimes we must
choose between the two evils 4 prefer
to cut the grain when a little green. In
this case there will be some kernels left
in the straw after threshing, But the
cattle, and sheep and horses eat all that
grain.
After securing the straw in good con-
dition l feed it all through the winter SIS
[ would hay. Not in place of hay and
cOrnstalks but in addition to them. |
place it in racks yhere the animals can
eat without stepping on it. In cold and
stormy days | carry the straw to the
stables. What they leave OF this | use
for bedding, and | do not take other
straw for bedding unless they have not
left sufficient in the racks. Feeding
straw in this way | find it so nearly gor e
by pring that | have scarcely enough
left for the o5dding for stables in sum-
mer. Also by this management I get a
great deal more manure.
Whether much or little, [ use for bed
ding all the straw that the stock leaves.
Thus all my straw is either turned di-
rectly into manure, or IS mixed with the
manure. serving as an absorbent and
retainer of the more valuable parts. All
the straw, in a greatly enriched form,
may now directly be returned to the
soil, where it belongs. For manure
ike money, ought to be out drawing
interest. II [ had an old strawstack,
aud could not use it for bedding. | would
spread it thinly over the pasture in sum-
mer time [ have seen good results
follow such disposal of it Il thus
serves at a mulch, making and keeping
the ground mellow, and materially
increasing the growth of grass. [ would
in no case burn the straw, as some do
Like my buildings and personal property,
