Farming Scraps.

Every farmer in reading a paper
will often see something in it
which it would be Of service to him
to remember. He will, perhaps,
see suggestions the value Of which
he would like to test or hints by
which he would like to be gov
erned in his future operation, but
after reading it the paper is thrown
down, probably never to be seen.
again. To avoid this he should
clip from the paper the article he
wishes to preserve and remember,
and paste it in a scrap book kept
for the purpose. Such a book at
the end of few years would be
both interesting and valuable.

The counsel, after admonishing the
witness that he was on his oath,
then sternly asked him, 'Do you
solemnly swear on that stand that

answered, II do, sir; he never was

ExTRAvAGANcE IN LIVING.

Such crimes as those of Ferdi-
nand Ward, while they spring Of
ten from depravitg, are oftener the
result of mere weakness of charac-
ter. Thackeray in many of his mi
nor sketches constantly draws the
portrait of the man and woman
whose means are not equal to the
style Of living which they desire !;
and they desire it not for itself, but
only because others have it. They
are not strong and steady enough
to be content with that which they
can command and afford, and the
means to secure the other must
somehow be obtained. Thackeray
puts the fact in the simplest and
most amusing form. The young
couple must give a dinner, and in
stead Of the joint Of lamb and the
glass of beer which is the only re-
past to which they have the moral
right to invite a friend-if, indeed,
the beer may be morally permitted
they must needs prepare a feast
which they cannot honorably af-
ford, and for the sole reason that
other people who can afford it give
such feasts. 1t is this doing a lit
tie more, or great deal more, than
the doer can honestly afford, which
leads to the swindles of Wall
street. Living in a house too ex-
pensivc for his means, maintaining
it accordingly, dressing as his rich
er neighbors dress, doing in all
things as they dot is this weak
compliance which is hidden in the
fine houses, and drives to the Park
in fine equipages, which presently
ends in Ludlow Street Jail and
hopeless disgrace. Yet it is the
poorest kind Of competition, be-
cause the little imitator might see
even with his dull eyes that there
must always be a few persons who
can "do the thing" better than all
the rest and without feeling it.
The bullfrog may swell until he
bursts, but he cannot rival the OK.
This is the tendency which all SEN
siblo people-and a great many
otherwise sensible people are swept
away by it-ought quietly to re-
sist. The power of individual ex-
ample i immense, but it is often
underestimate by the individual.
"My vote is Of no consequence, but,

A CLEAR CASE OF FRAUD
Mr.. Whitlaw Reid, present editor
Of the New York Tribune, was also
editor in 1872, when he had this to
say Of Mr.. Blaine
"The startling exposure Of Spea-
ker Blaine's yenality in connection
with the Union Pacific road, cas-
tern division, entirely destroys, Of
course, whatever credit some people
may have given to his evasive de-
NAL .of the Cakes Ames bribery,
and puts the whole case Of the
Credit Mobilier upnn different
basis. \ Now it is shown that
Speaker Blaine never deserved his
good reputation. He had taken
brides in another case"
Mr.. Reid recently expressed the
opinion that newspapers could not
influence single vote. If this be
SO the parties who were instrument
tai in bringing about his wonderful
change If heart have lhaan nrroo,;

down for cadet appointment, but Mr. Kerr
defended himself by his own oath to the con-
trary, and, without any other proof, every
Republican member Of the House Joined with
the Democrats in generating Mr.. Kerr and
attesting their faith in his oath. But when
James A. Garfield (to say nothing of Schuyler
Colfax) swore, against Cakes Ames's oath to
the contrary that he had never received a
1929 Credit Mobilier dividend stock, the whole
Democratic party got on their bellies all over
the land to chalk and paint 1922 on every
Republican door,sil, to show that they be-
ieved Garfield thief and perjurer. Look
at this picture and then at Puck's-a fair
sample Of the manliness and character of the
two parties The people Of the United States
answered the foul Islander upon Mr.. Garfield
by electing him President and embalming his
memory along with that Of Abraham Lincoln.
AS for Mr.. Colfax, he is out Of political life,
and enjoys the respect and confidence of as
large number of the people Of America as
any other citizen living in the country.

GROVER CLEVELAND did veto bill passed
by the Republican Legislature Of New York
to limit days work for street-car conductors
and drivers to twelve hours. They now work
from sixteen to seventeen hours out of every
twenty-four. The full text Of the bill, taken
from the official record, is as follows:
nSection l. On and after the passage of
this act it shall be unlawful for any oificer or
agent Of any railroad corporation in any of the
cities of this State whose cars are drawn by
horses, to exact from conductors OF drivers
employed by them more than twelve hours
labor for days work, and such corporations
shall, out Of said twelve hours labor, allow
such conductors and drivers reasonable time
TO obtain meals.
Sec. 2. Amy officer or agent of any such
corporation who shall openly violate or other
wise evade the provisions Of this act shall be
guilty Of misdemeanor, punishable by fine
not to exceed three hundred dollars, or inn
prisonment not to exceed six months, or both
fine and imprisonment, for each offense."
This veto is one Of many reasons why the
workingmen Of the country are organizing
with such remarkable unanimity against
Cleveland's election to the presidency.

THE Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks is in the
Eastgone there to meet the committee of
notification more than half way, as an addi-
tionAl evidence Of the superhuman struggle he
has had with himself to accept the nomination
as tail-piece to Grover Cleveland He has
been interviewed, and his expressions upon
public questions have all that ringing clear
ness and positive force for which he is SO dis
tinguished. At Buffalo, for instance, Mr..
Hendricks said:
s'If Mr.. Cleveland is supported in New York
as he will be in Indiana, he will pull through
without doubt. Judging from my correspond
ence, and from what / learn through the news
papers, the ticket meets with general favor
among Democrats and independents
Nothing could be finer than that possibly,
unless it be the appended gems we have ex-
tracted from Mr.. Hendricks's talk after he
had arrived at Saratoga:
"Mr. Hendricks regards the Prohibition
ticket as strong one. The Prohibitionist
leaders seem to be sincere and in earnest this
time, and are running side-show for the
benefit Of neither Of the old parties nor to put
money into their own pockets by making a
deal
Gas to Ben Butler and his nomination he
could not speak positively. He says they are
not very well organized in the West as yet,
and all estimates of Buffers strength, in case
he remains in the field, are merely problemat-
ical and pure guess work.
AS to the platform, he thought it was
sound and jndicious, but he would reserve any
comments he might have to make upon its
various planks until be wrote his formal letter
of acceptance
Hendricks considered Cleveland a very
strong candidate For himself, he had never
sought nomination for the vice. presidency,
and he should accept it in 1884, as he did in
1876 from sense of patriotic duty
With the exception of the late Thomas Car
lyle, there has been no man in recent years,
probably, who has had such grasp on clear
cut vigorous terse and expressive English as
Thomas A. Hendricks. It is always a pleas
ure to read his limpid yet powerful utterances
on all great public issues.

The Brooklyn Eagle rebukes the Democratic
brethren who advise Governor Cleveland to
cut his letter Of acceptance short. The Eagle
wants him to make it long enough to clear up

platform. Should Mr.. Cleveland try to please
his Brooklyn advisers the letter will probably
be issued as serial.
