neighbor. She put her horns
through my bath tub, and ate up
all my geraniums. She was to give
three gallons of milk a day, but
she seemed to be short just then,
and never had that to spare while
we kept her. The second day she
walked into the kitchen, upset
pan of butter and a tub of lard.
Then she fell down a well, and when

took the collie, whooping cough, or
something, and kept US awake all
night. Not a green thing was left
in my garden; and my neighbor's
peach trees and the rope on which
his underwear grew were as bare of
fruit a single-tree, and he did not
have a twig of shrubbery left. My
neighbor came over to me, and
said:
{" Now, 1 don't desire any quar-
rel, but L want you to keep your
COW out of my shrubbery.'
"'And I want you, my FRIEND

Not for the Horizontal.

The New Orleans Times Dem
ocrat, one of the most enlightened
and powerful organs of southern
democratic sentiment, says of the
Morrison scaling measure:
1t is too sudden, it declares; not
allowing the present tariff, which is
the result of much consideration
an investigation, an opportunity
to be fully tested.
1t will disturb business, crippling
those industries already in oper-
alton, and preventing the establish
ment of new ones; 1t will force
down the price of labor to the for
eign standard; it will so shock cap
ital that it will be timid of invest
ment in any industry, mineral and
agricultural, as well as manufac-
turing.
AS to this particular modification
OF the tariff, it is shown that it
was hastily framed and i'll consid-
cred, no thought being given of the
different interests involved, but the
duty upon every article of foreign
import being reduced indiscrimi-
nately and without examition as to
its effect. Nor would the reduc-
ton of duty have the desired effect
of even reducing the revenue. 1t
would crush home production and
increase our home, imports, and in
consequence of this great increase
of imports the duties received
would fall but little behind what
they are to-day, neoesitating an
other cut of duties in very short
time. The more Mr.. Morrison's
horizontal experiment is considered
the less deserving it appears of sup
port or Endorsement.
Besides all this it will inevitably
defeat the democratic party. Thou
sands upon thousands of good anC
true democrats cannot and will
not support free trade and freC
/ traders, no matter what the name
| of the party which endorses them
The time is past when the business
men and intelligent farmers anC
manufacturers of the country, anC
| especially of the south, will submit
to the dictation of demagogues anC
political mountebanks solely 70
their preferment and simply to sus
tain an exploded, nonsensical, vas
cillated democracy.

Lincoln said: CHOW, if you go on

perhaps lead to murder. The other

? ANOTHER VICTIM.
The Ups and Downs of a Once Veal
thy and Prosperous Wal,
Street Operator.

New YORK, March 28-There was
loud burst of derisive laughter on
the stock exchange to-day, when
the chairman, after trapping for or
der, read a note from Mr.. Alden B.
Stockwell, announcing his suspen-
sion. His operations have, for a
long time, been so small, and his
financial condition so precarious,
that the brokers laughed outright,
that the chairman should have
deemed it of sufficient Importance
to interrupt the business of the
board, by making the announce
ment. Yet there was time when
Alden B. Stockwell was a great pow
er in Wall street, when his transac-
tions were enormous, and what he
seid, wrote or did was deemed of
the first Importance, and was fully
reported in the newspapers. At
his Office, to-day, in was said he had
sold short on Lake Shore and the
price having advanced, he was una
Bile to meet the differences, which
amounted to less than $500.
Mr.. Stockwell was a Cleveland
man. The first that was known of
him was when he was clerk on a
Lake Erie steamer. On one of his
trips he met the family of Mr. Elias
Howe, the inventor of the sewing
machine, who were passengers.
Subsequently he married Mr.Howe's
daughter. At Mr.. Howe's death
Mr.. Stockwell succeeded to the CON
troll of his father-in-law' business.
His income soon reached at least |
100000 a year, and he acquired |
fortune of $2.OO0,000. In 1866 he
drifted into Wall street and soon
became one of the largest and most |
successful operators. He bought q
seat in the exchange, and his trans
actions were regarded as most inn
portant. He interested himself in
Pacific mail stock and soon got con-
troll of the company and made him
self president. He also obtained
control of the Panama railroad, and
was made president. About 1870
he manipulated a famous "deal' in
Pacific mail and ran up the price in
a short time from 40 to 10I. Fol
lowing this came q break in the
price by the loss Of six Pacific mail
steamers at sea in eight months.
This break carried away the bulk
of Mr. Stockwell's fortune.
After that Mr.. Stockwell became
interested in the Atlantic and Pa
cific railway, but lost his grip, it is
said, through a deal by Jay Gould.
Mr.. Stockwell was obliged to yield
up his interest in the Howe Ma
chine Company, and he has since
been vainly striving to regain his
fortune. But it is said he has tor
some time had but little besides his
seat in the exchange. Mr.. Stock
well was once the owner of the
yacht dreadnaught and an officer of
the New York Yacht Club. The
ups and downs of his remarkable
career may be summed up in a
charactistic remark which he is re-
ported to have made to friend not
long ago. "When l came from
he said, 81 was called
Mr.. Stockwell, when 1 began to OPP
crate largely in the street l was
called captain when L became
big man in the market the operators
called me, COMMODORE and after l
had lost my fortune they spoke of
me as that red-headed dog from
Cleveland.
He has been of late only small
trader on the exchange.

One Thousand Acres of Land
and "Right Smart Reorsv

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating
by sweep of his arm the waters the boat
was passing over, he said to a passenger from
the north; "When l was twelve yoars old
l killed my first bear on a new plantation
my father was then cutting out Of a forest
that grew directly over the waters of thiB
bend. That was mighty good plantation.
and there was right smart of bears there,
too. But that one thousand acres Of land

dies OF our City Greeting:
You have heard of sixty thous-
and homes in our land annually
made desolate by rum; and some OF
you haYe had a glimpse into that
desolation, from much of the 'wpe
to them that follow after strong
drink" comes on this side of the

Dear friends, let us each ask the
Blessed Master, "Lord, is it I?''
Did this bestowed man, once the
pride of fond parents and the hope
Of his country, ever taste wine in
my home, or once feel his blood
stirred by the viands at my table?
Aye, in some home and at many a
table.
In the name of those who mourn
their dishonored dead; in the name
of those who are chained by appe-
tite to a living death; in the name
of those yet unhurt; in the name of
a nations need; in the name of our
homes; in the NAME of God, we
earnestly entreat you to refrain
from the use of any kind of wine
or strong drink in the preparation
of food, and from offering it as a
food or drink to your visitors, es-
pecially on thanksgiving or new
years days.

A Man Win Was Saved.

At a recent local temperance
meeting near Lewiston, Me, q
speaker, in dwelling upon the de-
gradation caused by the appetite for
liquor, said he knew man that
drank to such an extent that his
whole person seemed impregnated
with alcohol; his lungs, even, be-
coming so charged with it that in
blowing out candle one day his
breath took fire as if it were nap
tina.
At the conclusion of the remarks
a blear-eyed and ragged man stag
gered forward from the rear of the
hall. The audience room was
packed. People standing in the
aisles made a passage-way for the
cropping inebriate.
All present thought another refor-
nation was to come and that the
trembling topper was on his way
forward to sign the ironclad pledge.
The people on the stage prepared
to welcome him gladly. The be-
sotted and rum poisoned appear
ance of the old fellow made a sad
and quieting impression on the
crowd and utmost silence prevailed.
He pushed his way along to the
place where the last speaker sat
With a tremulous voice and sway
ing body, he said:
"My frien' (hic), I want to shake
hands with you. You've saved me
(hic), Applause from the audi
ence I'll swar toye (hic), strang
er, that I'll never blow out another
candies long as I live"-Spirit.

Every farmer should plant apple
trees at least enough to supply his
family with fruit. For this pur-
pose there should be late, early,
sweet and sour varieties. Apples
are excellent, whether raw or cook
ed, and they can be cooked more
ways than anyH other fruit that
grows. They are health food, how
ever eaten, the family well supplied
with them having no use for doc
tors. They are pleasant and pala-
table, either at the table or between
meals, and are always acceptable to
visiting frinds or saleable in mar
ket. Less time and money are re
quired to insure a supply of apples
than any other kind of fruit, and
further compensation is found in
the fact that trees planted in child
hood, if well cared for, will contin-
ue to produce fruit until tbe plant
er is as old as a patriarch.

A Faithful Member.

The Americans Washington cor
respondent says:
Hon Jno. @. Ballentine is in re-
ceipt of many letters from all over
his district asking him to announce
himself as a candidate for re-elec-
tion to congress. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Ballentine never was a can
didate for the nomination to con-
gress; that he had no political as
pirations, was engaged in a bust
ness yielding him q handsome profit
and suited to his taste when he was
nominated, and that he only yield
ed to the pressure of the convention
with a view to settle and heal a
probable breachsin the party.
No man in congress has devoted
himself more assidUously to his du-
ties than Mr.. Ballentine since he
came TO congress. He was placed
as a member on the important com
mittee on naval affairs, and while
but slightly acquainted with it's
multifarious and intricate affairs, he
at once set himself to work to quail
ify himself to discharge his duties.
The result is that he has won the
confidence and challenges the re
spect of the whole committee by his
conscientious and able discharge of
the work assigned him. He is Civ
ing his whole time to his duties,
and If the people of his district de
sire to continue his services for an
other term, he will doubtless yield
to their wishes.

l wonder if anybody ever admitted
the same necessity in the case of
girls? 1 often hear it said that a
man should have his amusements,
his clubs, cigars, fast horses, hirta-
tions and wines. Now, suppose the
women and girls should reelS with
the odor of cigars and whisky?
Suppose they became openly ad
dieted to taking a 'nip of some
thing" when the spirits were low?
Suppose they sat down among their
fellows and gamble away a fortune
just to pass the dull hours. 1t is
customary to demand so much of
excellence at the hands of women
that the worst of them are apt to
be better in every way than the
average man. 1 have known some
women who were social outcasts, but
who, in point of heart, conduct, and
general moral rectitude, might have
furnished material for the making
of very upright gentlemen, indeed.
They have fallen, 1T is true, but
what a fearful penalty they have
paid for that fall; while, by compar-
ison, the kindred penalties Of man
are SO slight. If a young man gets
mixed up in some disgraceful en-
tanglement, breaks a heart and |
throws young girl upon the street
after having ruined her life, people |
say of him, compassionately by and |
by: "He was so young when he
did it, and now he has turned over
a new leaf" But if an experienced
girl, a mere child of sixteen or
seventeen, comes to harm in mo-
ment of moral weakness, born per
haps of too much love or overconfi-
dence, who ever thinks of pleading
her youth as an excuse? Who ever
urges seriously that girl has turn
ed new leaf? Who, in short, ever
urges upon her attention the desira-
bility or necessity of doing so?
