emit that the splendid victory that rests upon
the Democratic banners is due, TO 3 certain
extent, to the spirited and energetic fight
made by the indianapolis Sentinel. In order
TO cripple the Democracy in this close Stats,
the Sentinel was selected as target for an
aggressive attack from the BIaiHeacs, and an
effort was made TO throttle it because OF Ger
tain publications concerning the immortality
OF BlsiDe, although other newspapers, pub
lisbed in States whose electoral vote was
sure, made the same attack upon Blaine and
were not molested. The Sentinel showed
the proper spirit, maintained its dignity,
compelled Its malignant accusers to cry Tor
quarter. and welded q tremendous influence
for the Democratic ticket. Its endesvors
have been successful and the Sentinel merits
the best patronage the State affords.

A Family Feud That Results In = Double
killing.
BooEvILLE, Ind, Dec. 3.-In the neighbor-
hood OF the Ayrshire coal mines, in an leo
lated part OF Pike County, a family feud
which has existed for a number of years be-
tween William Johnson and Thomas Smith,
two neighboring farmers terminated in q
double death last Saturday. A number Of
qUaIrels and difficulties have from time 70
time occurred between members Of the two
families, and threats have heen freely
made. Saturday ten year old
boy of Jobnson's was met by
Smith some distance from the home OF the
other, when an abusive conversation wss in
dulged in. One hard word brought on an
other, until the youth used some language
which so exasperated Smith that ne drew s.
revolver and fatally shot the boy. The pistol
shots were be card by some ms n at 8 distance,
who hurried TO the scene, and, picking the
wounded boy up, conveyed him home,
where he soon died. The Billing of the boy
BY his bitter enemy so enTaged the parent
that before any one could prevent him he
seized bis revolver and vert TO the nome OF
Smith 10 seek revenge. Opening the door of
Smiths home, that man was found sitting in
the midst of his family relating the psrticu-
lars of the trs gedy, and without word John
son shot Smith dead where he set. johnson
then returned home, where he was BOON after
arrested. The murdered man and his victim
were buried Sunday.

Starting Cuttings.

Professor Budd in the Iowa Homestead,
condemns the storing of cuttings in the eel
lsr, SO ordinarily practiced, ''in sand or earth
Just moist enough to preserve them in con-
dition suitable for grating, as thus they will
fail TO absorb the requisite moisture needed
for changing the starch stored up in the cell
structure into sugar water, and the base OF
the cuttings instead OF callousing, will be
found little blsckened and the bark and
cambium layer st the extreme base dead or
nearly so. III these cuttings are put out the
upper buds Will start, when the requisite
heat is furnished by the sun, and exhaust all
the stored nutriment in the cutting before q
show of callousing is exhibited &c the base.
On the other hand, IL the same cut
ti1gs were packed In sand in q corner of the
cellar, or in shallow boxes with the base of
the cuttings upward and screened from the
air by not more than two inches of sand
kept all the time moderately moist by
spriD king, every cutting will callous. When
planted IN the open air such cutting will
emit roots before the top buds make much
CT start, and, with few failures, will make
nlee plants before fall. But the commercial
grower should not bother with keeping
hgneous cuttings in the cellar. It is far
better 70 put them In pit in the open air.
Set the bundles upside down in a shallow
pit or dry ground, as tightly together as
they can be crowded Cover over the top
about five inches of earth, and as il grows
cold cover the hole with fresh horse manure
to mainly keep out frost. As the sun gains
strength in the spring take of the manure
and rake the earth fine and even. The san
heat will finish the caiIousing OF the butts
of the cuttings by the time the ground Is
ready to receive them. Treated in this way
the farmer can root the grape, the weigelis
the tree honeysuckle, several OF the spiress
the cstslDs, and n greater number of trees
than he might suppose possible"

Ruttsr-sis king in Winter.

Winter butter-msking is one OF the iegit-
innate outgrowths of high civilization. AS
wealth increases there is constantly grow
ing dem and for table luxuries. There are
now n every large town many persons who
will paw the price demanded for fruits raised
under glass and for vegetables produced out
Of season by means OF artificial heat. Sci
encs has brought outsmethods of preserving
fruits IN their fresh state as veil vegeta-
bles of various kinds. The persons who have
discarded dried fruits, who have o1clm-
bern IN March and green peas and new po-
tat0es IN April, desire newly made butter all
the year round They are no longer satisfied
with that which Is made In May and June,
and kept till the winter months. They de-
sire an article equal in all respects to June
butter, but they want il made within week
Of the time il is TO be served on their tables.
The demand for butter made in winter had
appeared since the late civil war. Several
persons who have engaged in supplying Gus
toners with it have been very successful.
Winter butter-Rsking, If judiciously con-
Quoted. may be made very profit
able. 1t must be of excellent
quality, and made with the expectation of
getting large price for IL. Persons OF small
or moderate means will not be purchases OF
first class TIDter-made butter. They viii be
obliged to content themselves with that
which is made while cows run in the pas
Kure, and which is preserved in the ordinary
methods. Persons who engage in winter
butter-msking should strive to make an
article that win be sought by epicures and
those who have the meaus TO purchase
costly luxuries for the table. Unless they
have the facilities and skill to make an arti-
Gle in ali respects superior, they will find il
