Even IN the most honest minds
there are depths Of deceit. Society
reposes on athin crust ofconvention
underneath which lie fathomless
possibilities Of crime. Friendship,
however close and dear, Is not free
from its reserved, unspoken beliefs,
more or less suppressed opinions.
The man whom yon Indignantly de-
fend against any accusation brought
inanother, so confident are you by
bis ainshakeable integrity, you may
ystirself momentarily suspect of
crimes far exceeding those which
you repudiate. Indeed, | have
known sagacious men to hold that
perfect fl'ankness in expressing the
thoughts is q sure signof imperfect
Friendship; something is always sup
pressed and it is not he who loves
you that tells you candidly what he
thinks" Of your person, your pre-
TENSIONS your children or your po-
ems. Perfect candor is dictated by
envy or some other nnfriendly feel
Ing making friendship stating horse,
under cover Of which it will rankle.
Friendship is candid only when can
doris Urgent meant to ayertimpend-
ing danger or to rectify an error
The candor which is an impertin-
enc never springs from friendship
Love is sympathetic.

what u Farming?
Christian Advocate.

1t is something more than skin
ming the soil. 1t is more than selling
hay or potatoes, and bulky crops
nnanimalized Farming is business
profession, practical and scientific
operation whereby the soil il used
for profit. and improved under tile
operation. The processes Of nature
must be understood and woked in
harmony with the chemistry Of the
earth and air. The processes Of the
elements must be understood, if not
in their technical terms and lam
guage, in that sensible understand
ing, that commonsense way, that
their own advantage and capabilities
may be turned to best accounts.
The lawyer works by law and pre-
cedent, the physician works by symp-
toms and indications, the merchant
by rules and observation, the me-
canic by measure and capacities. The
farmer work by all rules, observa-
ton and experiment. He must be a
practical lawyer, doctor, merchant
and mecanic of the vegetable, the
animal and the trade world about
him. He must be skilled workman
in the productive, operative and
commercial circles in watch his bus
mess lies and his sphere of circula-
ton extends.
There is quiet about the life of
farmer, and hope Of serene old
age, that no other business or pro-
fession can promise. A professional
man is doomed sometimes to feel
that his powers are waning. He is
doomed to see younger and stronger
men pass him in the race Of life. He
looks forward to an old age of intel
lectual mediocrity, but the farmer GO
es, rs it were, into partnership with
trees and fowers-he breathes the
sweet air of fields. There is no con-
slant and frightful strain upon his
mind. His nights are filled with
sleep and rest. He watches his fiocks
and herds as they feed upon the
billy slopes. He hears the pleasant
rain fall upon the waving corn, and
the tress he planted in his south
field rustic about him as he plants
others for the children yet to be.

CAME HOME TO ROOST.

The brood of chickens which the
Independent Republicans raised
during the years of 1882 and 1888
came home to roost in 1884. They
have proven very troublesome
flock. They did some very effective
scratching in New York and Penn
sylvania, when the Republican can
didates for Governor were before the
people. They gave the executive
power in the Empire State into the
hands of the Democrats and assisted
in piling up that immense majority
for CLEVELAND which subsequently
made him Presidential possibility.
They elected a Democratic Govern
or and Democratic House of Rep
resentatiyes in Pennsylvania, and
in other States they inflicted more
or less damage upon the Republican
cause.
Bolting and scratching were very
popular in the years mentioned,
and the Independent press encour-
aged these expedients as the proper
means for purifying the party and
giving it the Integrity and vitality
required TO win the great contest in
1884. Good men like Secretary
FoLGER and General BEAvER were
rsthlessly sacrificed as a protest
against bossism and machine meth
eds, but when the time came for
nominating a Republican candidate
for President, and when the popu-
lar preference found expression in
the choice of Mr.. BLAINE. the spirit
of rebellion was still rampant, and
thousands of those who had been
taught SO well how to scratch can.
didates for Governor took special
delight in scratching the candidates
for President and Vice President.
The very papers that labored SO
assiduously in asserting and defend

to death. On searching his person
the Marshal found 81, 1850. besides
several tax receipts calling for sew

Festisc Cowboys.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 24.-
Yesterday evening as the east-bound
passenger train on the Southern Pa
cific Railroad was nearing a bridge
on the Pecos River, number of
torpedoes exploded on the track,
causing the engineer to stop the
train. Six cowboys boarded the
train, and with drawn revolvers
compelled the conductor to stop at
Langtry, the next small station. At
Langtry twenty more cowboys
boarded and took possession of the
train. They were all more or less
under the influence of liquor, and
amused themselves by shooting out
all the window lights and lamps,
terrorizing the passengers generally.
As the train passed small stations,
cowboys would shove their heads
out Of the broken windows, shoot
and yell A passing freight train
was saluted in a similar manner.
They robbed the train-boy of his
stock of peanuts and candies, but
so far as is known nobody was shot.
Judge Falon, United States District
Attorney Evans and Sheriff White
were among the passengers, but
thought best not to make their iden-
tity known. The gang left the train
at Uvalde, after riding over sixty
miles.

A Snow Blockade.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 25.-The snow
storm was renewed yesterday along
the Middle Columbia River, and it
is yet impossible to raise the block
ade of snow between Dallas and
this city, because it fills in behind
the plows as fast as an advance is
made. Three plows of five engines
each are biockaded and must be
shoyeled out. Very little progress
is made owing to continued snow
fall.
Northern Pacific trains are run
ming through to Wallulula juno
ton and large number of passen-
gers have accumulated at the latter
point. The passengers on snow
bound trains receive supplies regu-
larly on sleds from Hood River and
Cascade Locks and there is no dan
ger of their suffering from hunger.

WEsr PoINT, Ga, Dec. 25.-For-
est Mcneil, the aeronaut, was
drowned in the Chattahoochee Riv-
er here to-day. Between 2 and 3
o'clock he arose in the balloon al
most perps ndicularly, until lost to
view for about two minu' !. 1t
was soon seen again des ..nding
rapidly and bearing tow II Is the
river, into which it fell.
Instantly the crowd, numbering
over a thousand men, ran to the
point to which it appeaIed to be
drifting, but before they could
reach the spot the balloon was float
ing down to the foot-bridge and
Mcneil was seen struggling in the
water. Twice he was seen to rise
but as no boat had been provided
for this contingency, the people who
thronged the banks were powerless
to aid him. His body was recover
ed in about half an hour, and Dr.
Willis Griggs applied the battery
and all known means OF resusci.
tation, but to no purpose. A por-
tion OF letter written to the young
man By his old mother, who resides
in Mobile, Ala, was found on his
person, in which she said: Il pray
God every night on my knees that
he will bring you to the feet o.
Jesus. Remember, my son, always
to keep my card about you with
my name and address, so, if any ac
cident should befall you, perso

Bad Wreck Caused by an Open switch

DAWSON, December ga COLI
sion between two freight trains on
the B. & o. railroad at Hickman last
night wrecked six freight cars, three
of which were loaded with general
merchandise, one with lumber and
two with coke. The locomotive Of
one of the trains was completely
wrecked and the other badly dam
aged. One of the firemen was
slightly injured in jumping from his
engine, but fortunately and miracu-
lously no other injuries happened to
any of the train men. The switches
on a cross-over from west to east
bound track were open and No. sc,
the west-bound train, ran into the
train going east. The misplacing OF
the switches is blamed on tramps
who were seen around during the
night. A thorough investigation
will be made by the company TO fer.
ret out the cause of the accident, as
the wreck will cost them a large sum
of money.

Fishers Burning Well.

KARNs Cry, December 25.-Fish.
er Bros burning oil well at Thorn
Greek is now singular spectacle.
Through an ingenious arrangement
a portion of the fountain of oil was
to-day conducted into tanks located
about 500 feet from the well. Il is
u most remarkable sight, one hall
the oil rushing into the tanks and
the remainder creating great pillows
of flau1es. A gauge at the tanks
shows that 105 barrels are being
stored every hour. 1t is estimated
that the flames consume l20 barrels
an hour, making the daily output
over 5000 barrels. As the well
caught fire on the 18th, the Fisher
Bros. have lost about 10000 barrels
of oil. Orders have been sent to Oil
City for peculiar piece of casting,
wedge shaped and containing sever
al holes one inch in diameter. On
one end win be fitted cap, and
with this they hope entirely to con-
troll the well.
