The Presidency.

i
Of the two great parties
will have met aud placed their candi-
dates for President and vice-President
OF the United States before the country.
The principles involved in this contest,
we're laid deep by our fathers, In the
minds Of men and in the lines Of his |
tory, which will never be erased from
either, but will 20 down TO the iatest
generations as a memorial 10 the wis
dom, intelligence and patriotism OF the
ablest and purest body Of men, whose
names are found in the annals Of politi-
cal history. This contest, while IL in
wolves principles so dear to us as a peo-
pie, also involves the spoils Of Office as
necessary result OF the election, and
while II Is really not in the issue, as
found in the platform Of either party,
, yet 1t becomes an important factor in
the canvass before the people.
To win, and TO wage the contest or
principle, the Democratic party should
rather discourage fight for the spoil
of Office, until after the election, and !

Mean Honesty.

George came running into the house
one day, sobbing as though his heart
would break.
"Why, Georgy!" exclaimed his
mamma, starting up in alarm, "what-
ever is the matter?:' TNote-She said,
..what is the matter:?" but she would
have said '.whatever" had she known
that her words would be seen in print.
.'Ihayed done a naughty, mean thing"
cried George, his tears breaking out
afresh. -@
"There, dear, don't cry! Tell it all
to Mamma"
Thus urged, the little fellow told his
| story, with ,downcast eyes and with
many a mighty sob.
He had found a pocketbook with ever
and ever SO much money in it. It had
| q name in it which showed him that it
belonged to MI. Soulless, the rich mer-
| chant, who lived five miles out of town.
George had walked out to Mr.. Soul
less's place and found the owner in u
state bordering on distraction. He had
lost his pocket-book, with nearly a
thousand dollars in it. Said George
"When I gave him the pocket-book
he was so glad! He didn't notice me at
first, but after counting the money and
finding that none was missing he said [
was an honest boy, and handed me a five
cent piece, telling Inc to keep that for
my honesty"
s.And oh, mamma! continued George,

tie honesty / must have when it's only
worth a nickel."-B0ston Transcript.

Feeding Too Much Corn.

Can the great truth be too often re-
peated, if it be a truth-that corn is not
the food for working animals, or for
growing ones? 1t is a serious truth
known to thousands Of observing, ex-
perienced farmers, that. it causes two
thirds of the sudden deaths among
healthy horses. And yet people go on
feeding it careless1y year by year. The
poor man, whose all is in his fine team,
will pride himself on his fat corn-fed
horses. Let any. reader of this keep a
record for one year, of the deaths
among the work horses and mules of
his neighborhood, that are under ten
years of age, and the known or proba-
BILE causes, and he will agree with mo
that corn is the cause of two-thirds such
deaths, and perhaps of half the disabili-
ties. Had we not seen whole nations
of men pursuing an equally fatal
course, with regard to themselves and
children, in the matter of strong and
poisonous drink it could not be believed
that such ignorance and folly could ex-
list. Only lately I knew a blear-eyed
person who has expended hundreds of
dollars to cure his eyes, and who knows
by repeated experiments, that absti-
nence from his daily rations of grog for
one month does more toward COM
p!ete cure than all his doctoring. 1
knew of this mans permitting a fine
blood five hundred dollar mare, to feed
at a trough full of corn with his fatten-
ing animals, and eat at all times of
corn, to safety. When7 warned, he
drawled out, II want to see her fat,
good corn never hurt anything" His
mare became a beautiful object-''fat
as butter" and just then laid down and
died.
I venture the assertion that hog chol-
era becomes intensified just exactly as
corn falls in price, and almost disap-
pears when corn reaches its highest
price. Let some persons take note of
this.
Yes, that magnificent grain, that
grand source of wealth. that beautiful
object when growing in the fields, that
most useful product of mans labor,
corn, has literally become a curse to us
by our abuse Of it. 1t can be dem
onstrated that it cannot be produced for
less than fifty cents per bushel, yet
thousands of hard toilers grow it year
after year, and sell It for twenty cents,
and wonder why they are poverty
stricken. They feed it so wastefully
one might suppose it cost nothing-all
this is the result of ignorance and folly.
Along this river are hundreds of persons
whofeed cattle and neglect to give them
hay, saying it is waste of time and
stomach room to feed anything but
corn-ignorant that hay contains prop
critics essential to the existence Of the
cattle, and so aids digestion that much
less corn gives moro fat with hay.
Those who have pursued plans more
in accord with nature, and feed their
stock with variety, and give their horses
and mules barley, oats and sound hay,
chopped feed, some roots, ETC., assure
me that they make more money out of
one-ffth the corr they formerly used.
and have healthier animals, and that
their farms are in better condition

If brooms are wet in boiling suds
once a week they will become very
tough, will not cut a carpet, will last
much longer and always sweep like q
new broom. A good housekeeper never
allows her Carpet broom to be
used for sweeping the outside
stairs or yard; keep coarse
broom for this purpose. To keep o
broom from getting stiff and hard, hang
it in the cellar. If raw potatoes or the
peeling are cut fine and sprinkled on
the carpet before sweeping, they will
be found more effectual than salt or
cornmeal.-Atlanto Constitution.
"A Western farmer manages the
Canada thistle in this way: He keeps
about 200 sheep, and whenever he dis
covers a patch Of thistles he salts the
sheep there, putting a small handful of
salt in each thistle, at the root. Be-
sides the action OF the salt, which tends
to destroy them, the thisties are eaten
by the sheep close to the ground, and
after ono or two saltings the grass
among the thistles, as we'll as every
thing else that hides them from view,
has been eaten off so that each thistle
is easy to be seen and receive it's hand
full of salt. After this treatment it is
seldom that any thistles are seen the
