have the advantage OF ours for

never seen the time that nice
straw wberries couldn't be sold st
home for 80 cents. and that will
make lots Of mouey. And then
again the exercise is so@good for
their health, and the occupation is
so cleanly and delicate and suits

pick the fruit and I have always
thought she ought to have been
forgiven. for her first thought
when she found the fruit good
was to giee her husband some.
But he like an old rascal went and
laid all the blame on her and tried
to get out Of the scrapc. Now
thcre'is chance for our girls to
make some money. Let them try
a snNall patch, ,ssay. one-foArth of
an acre. Plant in August and
have a good crop Of fruit next
spring. It can be done. / heard a
Nashville, man say that two years
ago there was no such business
around Nashville as growing Der
ries for Northern markets but now
there was $50 bushels shipped a
day from one town, the town OF
Franklin, and they netted 20 cents
quart, or Sc a hushel, and the
girls did most Of the work. !

rich enough to live without work

felt like it, and [ never see Ladies'

| + was ruminating over these
things to-day when | met Sanford
Bell on the train. Sanford the Old
reliable conductor whom every
body knows and everybody loves,
and we got to talking about the
times aud the crops, and when
mentioned John II. James and his
bust up, Sanford said yes, that is
mighty bad on James and bad on
the poor fellows who had their
money in his bank. He had a
thousand dollars there he said, a
thousand dollars the savings Of
ten years, and now he had to take
a new start, and his plans and his
hopes were broken up, for he was
going to take 5000 Of that money
and send Clifford to Moore's bust
ness college and the $500 was for
his daughter who had been so

owed ME $500 then and lie paidit
in full interest and allowed me u

[ put my gold in there, although
it was worth only 4 per cent pre-
MUM when he paid it back. He
is a good man, James is, and will
do the best he can and he can't
do any more. Some folks abuse
him for speculating on our money
but [ notice they never abuse 81
man until he has had bad luck and
breaks. q James speculated in
Georgia railroad stock two years
ago and made, they say, 100000

said a word against him, but
now they abuse him for being q

About this time we met the
down train and the engineer, Mr..
Adams, came up to Sanford and
said, what 8 the news, my friend

And Sanford cheercd him up
little and then told me that Adams
had $500 iii tnsre, and it was his
hard earnings in cold and heat and
winter and and summer and day
and night, while he stood at his
post Of duty, which IS the the post
of danger.
Well, all this is bad, very bad,
and there are many worse cases.
Sanford told me aboat them and
said he was sorrier for some 9TH

Not long ago was over in

more, and they packed them in the
little baskets and the baskets in

their sales had averaged 80 cents

A TRIBUTE TO HENDRICKS.

Mr.. Blaine, in his Twenty Years in
Congress, says Of the election of
Thomas A. Hendricks to the United
States Senate: He was but thirty
one years of age when first chosen, and
his record in the House had not pre-
pared the public to expect the strength
and ability which he displayed as Sen
ator. He was in the full maturity of
his powers when he took his seat, and
he proved able, watchful and acute in
the discharge of his public duties. He
was always at his post, was well pre-
pared on all questions, debated with
ability and rapidly gained respect and
consideration in the Senate"

TELEG RAPEI g NEWS.

The answer of the Sentinel Company
in the Blaine libel suit was filed in the
United States Court at indianapolis.
Thursday. The defense admits printing
and publishing the article complained
of in the issue of August Sth, 1884, and
denies that it was false in any particu-
lar. In proof thereof, it sets forth the
following:
That James G. Blaine was married to
Harriet Stanwood at Pittsburg on or
about March 25. 1851. That prior to
that time, during the courtship, Blaine
seduced Miss Stanwood. That he re.
fused to make reparation for the wrong
done, but being afterwards stronglS
urged thereto, and violently threatened
with chastisement add punishment for
his said wrong doing, and, perchance,
repenting him OF the evil, married her
as stated. That in the June following
a child was born, known as Stanwood
Blaine, which lived two or three years
and was always acknowledged by the
plaintiff and his wife as their son. By
reason whereof the defendants say that
the matters and things set forth in the
article recited are true, and the same
being true they were published OF and
concerning said plaintiff by defendants,
and they justly and lawfully might
do So"
Defendants file with their answer a
number of Intermediates, and require
that the same be answered by plaintiff
under oath, positively aud without
evasion, within such time as the limit
by the Court, among which are the fol.

CLEVELAND AND THE wORKINGMEN

An attempt is being made by certain
newspapers to create the impression
that workingmen in New York city
are particularly hostile to Cleveland.
That such is not the case is indicated by
the following, from Peter A. Lee, Pres
ident of the Iron Molders Union, of
New York city, which is published
in the New York papers:
81 read an article in the Star the 9TH
er day, stating that some of the large
foundries 10 this city had declared in
favor of Blaine. 10 order to nail the
statement as a lie and place the molders
in their proper light, at our picnic last
Sunday at Jones' Wood, your humble
servant, with a Custom. house officer,
went around among the 1000 members
present, with the following result: 1872
for Cleveland, AZ for Blaine, and about
the same number for Butler"
This, Mr.. Lee, who, as stated, is
President Of an important Trades
Union, publishes over his own sigma
ture, where it could be contradicted if
it is not true.

MRS. LOCKWOOD ACCEPTS.

At convention recently held in San
Francisco by the Woman's National
Equal Rights party, Mrs. Belva A.
Lockwood Of Washington was nomi-
mated for President OF the United States.
The lady, not the least undaunted by
the Cleveland and Blaine scandals, has
accepted the nomination, and forwarded
to the President of the Convention a
letter to that effect. This affords those
who are not satisfied with Cleveland,
Blaine, Butler or st. John, and who
believe that intelligent women should
be accorded rights which are not denied
the most ignorant of the male sex, OPP
portunity to express their sentiments
at the ballot box in November As
women are not given the privilege Of
voting for President, Mrs. Lockwood
must rely upon the gallantry of the
opposite sex for support at the polls,
and as this is not the age of chivalry,
the chances are decidedly against her
election.

An accident occurred with street car
No. 13 on Saturday evening, that for a
time looked as If one OF the horses
would have pair Of broken fore legs.
Some eight or ten carts came on the
street Car track at Madison street, and
the driver of the street car, not seeing
the procession of carts in time, drove
right into the rear cart, and the passen-
gers, of which there were several in the
car, quickly made there exit, when
the left bound horse got his fore feet
between the spokes of the cart
wheel. After some little excitement the
horse got disengaged. The damage sus-
tanned was slight.
