Kuklux In Ohio

CINCINNATI, o., June 1S.-On Fri
day, Mr.. Willism e. MuDsell, residing
near the line between Padding and
Van Wort Counties, received note
threatening his life and warning him TO
leave imme diately. Mr.. Munsell paid
no attention to the anonymous note,
aid, about eight O'Clock that evening,
some one fired revolver at the house
and demanded the person Of one Oliver
Moo . colored man. Failing TO
got compliance with the request, tue
sssaulting parties continued shooting
At the window and bombarding the
house with boulders. Mr.. Munsell re-
oeived slight flesh wound In the arm,
and wound in the shoulder. Richard.
his Oldest son, was struck on the head
by q Rlancing bullet, which inflicted a
serious wound. The clock and mirror
and other furniture were shot to
pieces.
Munsell Is = peaceable man, who at.
tends to his own business, and the as
sault upon him is without apparent
cause. He was soldier and carries
two musket balls in his body. Hi
family has moved to the residence Of
MIR. L. Stanley, at Lewellyn, where
they will remain until peace is restor'

The Cniid's First Untruth.

Never whip . child for the first
"story" 1t tells. DO not even punish it.
n you do, you may give 1T the feeling
that accounts are squared" and that
it may 20 on with the practice provided
IL will take the penalty If found out.
It will soon argue that discovery Is not
always certain, and, instead OF being
convinced of q wrong, will be rather
inclined to look upon truth and lying
as matters Of profit and loss altogether.
Speak to the child sorrowfully, make
1t q grave matter; do not
scold; do not threaten. Let
the offender see that you are grieved
and shocked. Let him feel you have
trusted his word, and feel what 1t is to
have lost confidence. Let him see IN
your manner tho sacredness OF truth.
Above all, have him feel that he has
Injured himself, wronged himself.
Then put 1t the other way, II you can
AK how he would feel If he could not
depend on your word or If you broke
YOUR promise, or deceived him. do MOI
let your sorro " full mien last long enough
to be an injury or burden. Cheer uT
and cheer him up, and show your con
fldence Of your changed manner. Tha
will help him to earn it ia future.

In the East they have beautiful Gus

A young man, who had been playing
the devoted admirer for some Tune, put
had never summoned sufficient courage
to ask the all-important question, had
been reading of this custom, and deter,
mined to employ it in his own behalf
He quickly procured and sent to the
object of his hopes a garland, in when
the blossoms were arranged to spell INT
la comic query:
"Mine-when?"
The young lady, who had resorted IN n
vain to various means to bring MN u
the point, promptly responded with
chaplet, in which was deity woven inc
concise reply:
"Thine-now."
The bargain thus tersely made was
soon communicated, and we have never
heard that either of the contractor
parties has had cause to regret IL.

Ind ustry.

Man must have occupation, or be mis-
cradle. Toll is the price Of sleep and
appetite, OF health and enjoyment.
The very necessity which overcomes our
natural siu.n is q blessing. The whole
world does not contain even brier or
thorn which nature could have spared.
We are happier with the sterility which
we can overcome by industry than we
could have been with spontaneous
plenty and unbounded profusion. The
body and the mind are improved by the
toll that fatigues them. The toll IL a
thousand times rewarded by the pleas
ure which it bestows. Its enjoy meDte
are peculiar. No wealth can pur chase
tho,D, no Incidence can taste them.
They flow only from e1ertions which
repay the laborers.

Newspaper DunS.

The Harrisburg Patriot makes the
following sensible comments on an old
subject: We presume that people
think newspaper men are persistent
duns; let farmer place himself in
similar position and see if he would
not do the same Suppose that hs
raises one thousand bushels of corn and
his neighbor should come and buy
bushel, and the price was only the
small sum of one dollar, or less, and
the neighbor says II will pay you the
amount in few days" AS the farmer
does not want to be small about the
matter he says, "All right" Another
comes in the same way until the whole
one thousand bushels are trusted out to
one thousand different persons, and not
one of the purchasers concerns himself
about it, for it is small amount they
owe the farmer. and of course that will
not help any. He does not realize
that the farmer has frittered away his
large crop of corn, and that its value is
due in q thousand little driblets, and
that he is seriously embarrassed in his
business because his debtors treat it as
little matter.

Mixed Crops.

The individual who made two blades
of grass grow where but one grew be-
fore was called public benefactor
But every farmer may play this part
for the public and himself if he will.
Double crops may be and have been
and are grown by many farmers with
the result of getting a double yield.
For instance, timothy and clover are
double crop, yielding considerable more
than either alone would do. Mixed
grasses, as orchard-grass, oat-grass,
fescue-grass and red-top, making mixed
hay or pasture, will produce about
twice as much as any one grass singly.
Oats and peas, oats and barley, and
many mixed market crops yield twice
as much as the single ones. 1t is on
the principle of rotation of crops. Just
as we well know that different crop
following one succeeds better than the
same succession. So. two crops s0wn
together produces more than one alone,
because they are not antagonistic or
exhaustive to each other These mix
ed crops are of great advantage for
green fodder, for soiling, or dried for
winter use.-N. Y Times

The False Prophet.

Ell Mahdi, the false prophet of the
Soudan, in his boy yhood was appren-
ticed to q boatman. Running away,
he went to Khartoum and attended
free school. He made considerable
progress in religion, but was backward
in the arts of reading and writing.
After being ordained sheik or faki he
took up his abode in cave on the
White Nile, and by fasting, praying
and incense burning extended his fame
far and wide. He became wealthy,
collected disciples and married several
wives In 1881 he announced that he
was the Mahdi foretold by Mahomet,
that he had divine mission to reform
Islam, established universal equality,
a universal law, universal religion
and community of goods and that all
who did not believe in him should be
destroyed. This is the origin of the
movement which is shaking the east to
it's foundations. Ell Mshdi is undoubt-
edly man of great natural ability and
tact, and is born organizer Of men

A Bad DOvetail.

Some eighty years ago there lived In
a small log house at Peltoms Point, in
Pitts6eld, Mass man by the name
of Inman Ny grandfather, when l
was small boy, showed me the site of
the old house and told me the follow.
ing story as true: Inman was too
lazy to hunt much, but would hang
around all day for drink of rum and
tell bear stories. At this time bears
were quite plenty in this region and
troubled our sheep and corn. One fall
a nervous, quick stranger came 10 Col.
Lancey's tavern from Boston to kill
few bears. He stepped up to the bar
and called for drink (this, be it re-
mem mbered, was way back toward "the
good old colony times when we were
under the King" and new rum was
sold openly for 8 cents glass; and in
quired where he could go to shoot a
bear This brought Inman to the front
bears! He knew! The very man
the stranger wanted. "Will you take
a drink ?" Yes, he would. After tell
ing his wondrous feats in slaughtering
bears, and taking several drinks. the
stranger said: "Mr. lnman, how large
a bear did you ever see?" Up to this
time the admiration had been mutual;
the stranger bad furnished the rum and
dinner, and Inman the bears. well,
sir, the biggest bear ever see | killed

started out to make bear trap, for
when I don't fetch him one way | try
another, and there was Mr.. Bear break
ing down my corn at great rate. l
started for him and be ran down the
hill between two rows of corn, and
gained on me every minute till he
came to the fence, which was seven
feet high, and jumped clear over it into
id great snow drift, and went in
to it all out of sight, and when he pok-
ed his head out of the snow | knocked
him over with my axe" "Mr. Inman,
that was queer country where you
lived. Corn in the milk On one side of
the fence and a Id great snow
drift on the other" Old 1nman stop
ped and scratched his head with puz-
zled look, and said, very slowly: II
guess, Mister, | have got holt Of part
of two stories"
