THEgOLp SLAVE BEL.
The Antlthesis of the Liberty Bell
Its Present Condition.

The s. Liberty Bell'' so often apostrO-
phised by orators, has its antithesis in
the Louisiana exhibit in the government
building. This is the old t'SlaVe belI''
that for many years called to work the
100 slaves on the FOntainebleau sugar
plantation. This plantation was one Of
those princely domains Of the earlier
planters of Louisiana. 1t frOnted on
lake POntchartrain, having a frontage
of nine miles. The original proprietor
was III. Bernard de AIarigny, q loyal
French settler of Louisiana, who, on the
occasion OF the visit of Louis Philippe
to this country, entertained him right
Loyalty at his plantation, and was In turn
received by ms imperial guest at the
court of France with distinguished hon
Ors.
The bell was cast in 1925, and tradi-
ton says that Mr.. Marigny, standing
over the large caldron filled with molten
metal, dropped therein one thousand
Spanish silver dollars to give the bell a
clear and silvery tone. Three French
inscriptions are on the bell. At the top
is the legend, 81 apparnens d monster
Bernard de Marigny," while other in
Inscriptions specify the time and place
of founding.
One striking point of resemblance be-
tween the g slave bell' and the Liberty
hell is the fact that each has a assure in
the side. Concerning the assure in the
slave bell a pretty legend is related.
The bell stood in the center of the plan
tatiOn, aud was pealed to summon the
force OF slaves to aad from their work.
Early in the morning its changing reused
the tenants of the quarters to their daily
tasks, and at evenUI0e its silVerV notes
were borne on the soft breeZes to the
most distant corners Of the great pIanta-
ZION. At the sound of its evening peal
the army OF blacks, worn with their
days labor, would come trOOping back
to the rows of cabins that formed the
quarters. a right welcome sound it
was 10 those dusky tOiIers, and they
learned to love the bell and to repeat
tales of its sound. 1t is q tradition cher
ished by these former slaves, who daily
obeyed the bells behest, that on the
morning when Lincoln proclaimed
emancipation and freedom for all, the
bell fell from its lofty pedestal and rent
that assure III its side which now suences
it. Its power gone, with none TO obey
its behests, the bell chooses perpetual
silence to impOtent pealing, and now is
but mute memorial of a bygOne power

REFORM THE FAIRS.

Mr.. J. w. War;, of the Western
Plowman, suggests that it is not too
early in the season to consider whether
the sO-called agricultural fairs shall be
reformed or continue ''mere camping
grounds for sports, gamblers, lottery
men and swindlers Of every kind" He
maintains, with truth, that all Of these
parasites upon the public could not
alone support the shows; that if re-
spectacle people would refuse to enter
articles or cOuntenance the degradation
by their presence, the mismanagers
would soon be compelled to mend their
ways:
ESPECIALLY should the manufacturers
of agricultural implements and farm
machinery take a decided stand IN this
matter Notwithstanding all the ex-
pepse they incur in preparing their eX-
hibits, the managers of fairs have delib-
erately killed the effect Of their work
by admitting illegitimate counter at
fractions In the form Of hOrse-racing
and other shows pandering to and en-
cOuraging the depraVed tastes of human
nature. The average visitor to a fair
will not sop to examine a new plough
when be can enjoy the excitement of a
hOrse-race. He viii not study improved

man that swallows a sword than In the
exhibition of a machine for relieving
their young muscles Of much drudgery,
and elevating the character of farm
life. We have attended many fairs
where it seemed as if the managers,
instead of trying to show the people
how to raise good crops, were most in
terested in showing them how to raise

SLY SAM RANDALL.


A noted Democratic Congressman +,
whose name, were L permitted 70 give
it, would add weight to his words said
TO me last night In regard to LOgan's
election: - President Cleveland has
received a great blow in the election of
Logan. 1t is cut directly at the adj
minis tratiOn, and in favor of the policy
and principles which are Numerically
opposed to il. Logan has been an open
opponent to civil service reform. He
has been opposed to tariff reform, and
he has been one of the bitterest deuun-
cIatOrs of the COnfederates holding any
supremacy in government councils
The fact that Republican was elected
in that Democratic district means that
the Democrats are disguised, and are
willing to let the administration know
it by keeping away from the polls"
SLY SAM RANDALL's DEEP GAME.
at means also that Randall has had
his finger In the pie, and it is him that
Logan must thank for his election. Sam
Randall is playing a deep game here at
Washington, and he intends to rule she
Democratic party or ruin it. 1t was
not that he loved Logan, but that he
hated Morrison and tariff reform. Ran
dall's friends IN Illinois were told that
Logan must be elected and Morrison
defeated. This intimatiOn being circu-
lated in the county where the new man
was elected, together with the diSSatiS-
faction with Cleveland easily accom-
plished the result. L thinl- Sam Ran
dali is laying his plans for 1888, when
he confidently expects to become The
presidential candidate Of his party. 1t
is true he has lately pronounced him
self as an advocate OF CIeVeland's re-
nomination in 1858, and he thus forces
Morrison Carlisle and his other enemies
to follow him in this cry. Now, Mr..
Cleveland in his letter OF acceptance
distinctly declares that he will not be
candidate for a second term, AID after
Randall being SO kind as 10 push him To
the front Cleveland cannot do OtherWi-e
than remember Randall and decline in
his favor. Besides RandalI's principles,
those of the East, are the same as CIeve-
lands barring the civil service reform
ideas which viii, believe, die a natu-
raj death before four years have passed,
and he will want man chosen in his
place who will carry out his policy, l
tell you there Is no Deeper slyer, and
more farseeing wirepuller in the Demo
cratic party than Randall, and ne is not
tOadying Cleveland and hanging around
the White House for anything less than
the biggest game IN the hunting fields Of
American Politics"
suppose he doesn't get it?'
''W ell, you have heard sJhe story Of
the blind Samson, who pulled down the
temple when his enemies thought he
was pOwerless. Randall defeated will
be the blind Samson of the Democratic
party, and if he goes down he will not
fall without bringing down the whole
structure. Carp, in the Cleveland

HORSES FOR SALE.

Farmers make a mistake when they
slight the advantages to be derived
from keeping good horses and from
breeding a pair or two of colts every
year. A three-year-old colt can be
reared as cheaply as a COW Of the same
age, but while an ordinary price for a
young three-y ear-Old COW is worth forty
dollars, a young colt is worth seventy
five dollars, at the very least, when a
year old and one hundred and fifty dol
lars when three years old. If, however
a good thoroughbred sire is used, at
the cost of fifty dollars, the colt at three
years may easily be worth three hun
dred dollars. hOadsters in the north
and saddle horses in the south (bOth
are really rOadsters) are the most de-
sirable animals to rear. The thor
oughbred blood is like the steel one
puts into a machine, it gives strength
frmness, ightness, durability, elasticity
and vigOr into the cold blood. The
bone is harder and more solid and
lighter, the sineWs are stronger and
more elastic, the muscles are frmer
and have greater tension, the lungs are
more capaciOus, the weight is reduced
and with more strength and vivacity Of
motion, and less weight, we have swift
ness and ease of Observation-Disclosures
