Good Seed.
National Stockman.


One Of the duties which claim
the attention of the thoughtful far
mers at this season is the selection
of seed for next summers crops.
And first among these comes seed
corn, upon the quality of which the
agricultural prosperity Of the coun-
try for the ensuing years so largely
depends. We have before referred
to this matter, but its importance is
sufficient to justify line upon line
respecting ii. There is no risk in
saying that the kind of corn used
i'm planting will affect the coming
crop to the extent of hundreds of
millions of bushels in volume, not
to speak OF its effect on the quality.
A very large proportion of grain
gathered in 1888 is wholly unfit for
seeding purposes, and there are in
some places entire counties in which
not a grain should be planted which
was grown in them last year. In
buying seed, be sure that you are
getting one of the good varieties,
and Ii 10 also well to get something
grown i'm a latitude not differing
many degrees nom your own. Do
not be afraid to pay good price
for GOOD seed, which is cheap at
several times the cost OF q poor ar
tiele.

On Top of the Washington Monu-
ment.

Washington Star.
The scene from the top soon to be q
familiar one to the citizens of Washing
ton and visitors to that city, is truly
magnificent, and no attempt at descrip-
ton would come anywhere neal to con-
yeying a true idea of it. 1t is s novel
as lovely. The city is spread out below
you with its beautiful streets, avenues
and parks clearly outlined, and the
grand public buildings and other prom
inent structures, dwarfed in their dimen-
sions, until they look like toy houses.
The agricultural grounds, and further
on the Smithsonian park and grounds,
backed by the capitol, make, perhaps
the most striking near picture OF this
grand panorama; but the view of the
White House, Treasury ana pJaJe uv-.
partment buildings to the north, and
the picturesque city of Georgetown to
the northwest, with the bold architect
ure Of the college building, are hardly
less beautiful, while the winding river
to the west and south, and the amphi-
theater of hills to the north and west Of
the city are transformed by this view
from mid-air so as to be hardly recog-
nizable.
Look down to the ground below"
said the colonel.
The elevated scribe looked down
through the netting, and for the first
time had a realizing sense of his dizzy
altitude.
IT am now looking down from a
height Of nearly zoe feet2" he family
queried.
1More than that" responded the col
onel. "The floor of the monument is
on the pile of stonework seventeen feet
above the ground. The shaft is
400 feet above that, making 507 feet;
and to that add your own height, and
you haveit exactly"

Like a Chapter From Charles
Reade.

Mrs. r.. Weldon, who has for several
months past by her caprices and libel
suits maintained herself as the social
sensation of London, was awarded dam
ages in her suit against one Of the doc
tors who certified TO her lunacy during
the attempt to have her placed in an asy-
lum. After Mrs. Weldon had secured
judgment against her husband for viii
full desertion, and had him compelled to
provide her with o home, two servants
and $4,000 per annum, she attempted to
compel him to accord her q restoration
of conjugal rights. In this she was de-
feated. She then scandalized society
by accepting engagements to sing IN
concert gardens, wasting the phenome-
nal voice that had been cultivated by
Gounod upon the beer-drinking habit
ues of such places as the Canterbury,
the Oxford and Weston's. Mrs. Well
don took these engagements, her friends
say, out of pure "cussedness" and for
the sole purpose of ~tormenting her rel
atives. During the long and fierce le-
Bdl WhIIdTt 1--WE uot ohN hOA h00
band, an attempt was made to have
her placed and retained in a private luz
matte asylum. Two reputable physi-
clans certified that she was insane.
When freed from the conspiracy Mrs.
Weldon determined to have all the con-
spirators punished. She sued DR..
Forbes Winslow and DIR. Semple for
a1O00 each for libel, assault and impris-
onment. The case against DIR. Semple
was concluded recently and Mrs. Wei
don was awarded G1000 damages. Judge
Hawkins who presided over the trial. in
giving Judgment stated that Mrs. Well
don was entitled to the thanks of the
public for the very thorough manner In
which she had succeeded in exposing
one of the very worst abuses OF the
times.

A Near view Of Mexico.

Howard A. Easton, Of Philadelphia,
who has just returned from a business
trip into Mexico, says Of that country
sit is q diamond in the rough, with .
good deal of rough. Mexico is a coun.
try of immense resources, agricultural
and mineral, and when Yankee enter
prise is able to gain the mastery over
the Ignorance and prejudices of the
people, it will be a very valuable neigh.
Dor. Four railroads now GROSS the
Mexican frontier, q large portion Of
which. however, is wild and uninhabited.
But in the course of time towns will
spring up and prosperity will reign: ]
found q number of Americans In Mex
leo. Something that ought 20 be known
is the condition of our consuls. They
ara mostly Frenchmen and Germans,
raany of whom cannot speak the Eng.
fish language, and they are not partic-
ularIv friendly to our tradesmen. You
see. the Germans and French have con.
trolled that trade for $50 years, and
have intermarried with the natives.
They buy enough American goods to
saw they have them in stock, but rec.
ommend something else all the time,
They do all they can all the time against
our trade. I tested them time and
again. I cannot say, however, but thai
American merchants are more or less
10 blame. Ihave known q firm to send
half-inch lumber and bill it inch, an6
sell q boiler through a Mexican agent
and then tell him he must look TO the
man II was sold to for his commission.

Adaptation to Climate.

DR.. A. Berghaus, in Popular Science Monthly.
The celebrated physician, Boerhaave,
believed thai nothing breasAiag with
lungs could live in an atmosphere having
as high a temperature as that Of the
blood. According to this dictrse, one
ought to die at a temperature Of 100
deg, but Banks enjoyed good health on
the Senegal when the thermometer rose
in his cabin to 40 deg. and 100 deg.
Men live on the southwest coasts Of
Africa, and in other hot regions, where
the heat of the sand under their feet
reaches 140 or 150 deg. Men in deep
mining shafts and under diving-bells
are able to support an atmospheric
pressure of3O, 900 klogrammes as well
as q prcsyure Of only s 900 kilogrammes
on the highest mountains. Cassini
thought that no animal could live at q
greater height than 4, TOO meters, or
15, 900 feet; but there are several inhab-
tied places situated at a still greater
height, as, for instance, Gartok, in the
Himalavas. Alexander Won Humboldt
assembled Chimborazo to a height Of
nearly 5000 meters, or is, 1856 feet, with
ont suffering amy harm, The pressure
Of the atmosphere is so light at such ele-
vations that, as Humboldt was assured,
wild animals when driven up to them
bleed at the mouth and nose. Only the

turning from Bowling Green Wednesday oven
Jog we dropped, unexpectedly. right into n
Democratic celebration, the decision and pro-
vision for which had been made after tho
county papers had all been published last
week. 1t was a we'll arranged and well execu-
ted affair. Capt Thomas Newer was made chair
mau and opened with short speech, followed
ed by John W. Canary, in the course OF whose
remarks he was fair enough to say that James
G, Blaine was the ablest aud purest man In the
United States TO day. but gave as reason for
not supporting him at the polls, that toe party
was corrupt and could not be trusted longer in
power. lie was followed by Col. W. u. Nc
Carly in n brief speech.
Al the close Of the speaking a splendid sup
per was served, the bill Of fare including near
all of the substantiaIs az we'll as the luzuries OF
the season. There must have been 500 people
fed from the abundant spread during the even
ing, Judge Tullsr, Martin Warner and family
aud others that had grown gray in the Rrpub'
lican ranks, were invited and enjoyed the
supper apparently as well Ms the Democrats.

diers, every effort has Eeen made by the
publishers TO have their representatives
visit each living soldier of the county and
get his roster for publication, and to
gather from the living the record of the
dead. This work in the county is now
complete, and, as tar m we know, every
soldier who went ont from the county has
been rostered, and the same for those who
now make their homes in the county.
This is what we have aimed To do. If any
one remains unrostered, 1t will give MS
pleasure, and add 10 the value of the work
of the comfy, il we secure his record. or
any soldier of the county, or the represen
ta,ive OF deceased soldier, who has not
been visited, we ask that the written rec
ord of his services may be forwarded MS
here, giving'dale and place of enlistment
and of discharge, company, regiment,
rank, wounds. imprisonment, transiers,
etc., all as brief as possible. If received
in season, such roster will be added 10 the
