and without more delay both scrambled
into the bushes, and were soon stained
inside and out with bright blue juice.
1t does not take long for boy to fill
himself, and soon both boys were as
full as they could hold
"Um-gueSs that is all | can hold,

"All right And without a mo-
ment's delay the two little rascals
slipped of their pants. tied up the bot
tom of each leg with string and soon
had each pair of pants full of ripe ber-
ries. Singing their pants over their
shoulders they started for home, slipped
along by the woods, down the hollow,
past the old watering trough. and
reached the barn, where they found Il
large basket, emptied the berries and
put the pants where they belonged. And
do you suppose the berries were all nice
whole ones? Not bit of it. About
Sne-third were mashed and the inside of
the pants were damp and blue.
The boys didn't notice this but picked
up the basket and carried the berries to
mother. Wasn't she delighted! That
same day the berries were prepared and
put in jars, and all that winter we had
hucklcberries. But you should have
seen those boys that night when they
undressed for bed! OF all the blue
sights you ever saw, and it would not
rub off either.
From the waist down those boys W..
one, o. rather two, masses of blue.
(Blue mass is better phrase.) How
they did yell and laugh, until their
mother came up to see what the matter
was. Then both crept into bed and
drew a blanket over the scene.-Peck's

Thurman's Accomplishments.


Speaking of Senator Thurman. John
G., Thompson tells me he has moved in
to his new house at Columbus, anG that
he has retired from public life. Ills
chief amusement row is the reading OF
French novels in the original. Senator
Thurman is one Of the best French
scholars among the politicians. and.
this recalls to my mind the story have
heard somewhere as TO how he got his
knowledge Of the language. Senator
Thurman learned French us Il boy in
the little Ohio town Of Chil'icothe, and
4 pretty romance clusters around his
requirement of it. Mr.. Thurman'S
father was a Baptist preacher who.
when his boy Allen was seven wears
old, moved from Lvnchburg. Va. to
Chillicothe. O., ana there taught school
and started WOODEN manufactoTy
Shortly after this there came to Chilli
cothe fine-looking old French maiden
into her house to live on condition that
her father should teach Allen French.
This Frenchman whose name was
Monsieur Gregoire, had been educated
by his family for the priesthood, but
had fallen in love at the time he was
about to take the orders and that with
a beautiful girl whom his family con-
sidered beneath him. he had left the
church and married her, and then find
ing things rather uncomfortable about
home had invested in an estate of
thousands of acres in Virginia. In due
time this daughter was born and. after
the estate. she was named Virginia.
His wife died III giving her birth and
after Il few years of grief Gregolre de-
termined to come to his great estate in
the new world. When he arrived he
found his utopia Il tract of stony mount
aniouS land worth nothing and he had
to go to work to keep himself alive. In
doing this he drifted to Chil!cothe and
his daughter was taken into the Thur
man family She did not understand a
word of English and Allen did not uu-
derstaud VOID of French. They pl;y
ed together and with his teaching from
the Frenchman and his practice with
the daughter the boy became quite
Frenchv. He kept up his studies in
after life and French is now us eiSy
for him a, English. Another amuse-
ment of Senator Thurman is the work
ing out of mathematical pro lens.

1t can now be readily understood
how John Roach could afford to
contribute $l50,000 to assist in keep
ing the democrats out of power. 1t
would be worth more than twice
that sum to MIR. Roach to have a
republican secretary of the navy at
this time. An impartial examining
board appointed by secretary Whit
ney finds that the Dolphin, the dis
patch boat built for the government
by Mr.. Roach, is almost worthless.
Commenting upon this fact the New
York Sun says:

The Buckwheat Crop-Valuable.

Buckwheat can be made profitable
crop, if proper care is given to it. Til 5
grain is worth at least seventy-fye
cents u bushel for feeding, if it is prop
erly fed. 1t is best ground with corn,
rs fine us possible. and may be fed
with cut hay or straw moiStened with
water. The seed may be sown early in
July. We have found thick seeding
the best. At least one buShel per acre
should be used. 1t pays to prepare the
ground as we'll for this crop rs for any
other. but it is especially useful for the
purpose of breaking up an old meadow,
and preparing it for reseeding. The
sod will be well rotted, and the soil
mellowed and made ready for a fall
grain crop, If this is desired. to be toll
lowed by the grass seed the next sum-
mer. No other crop, except peas, SO
well mellows the ground as buckwheat
and this is precisely the effect required
in reSeeding land. Besides this useful
purpo Sc. lbuckwheat is valuable for its
grain. II will easily produce thirty or
forty bushels per acre il well managed
and bIshel of it is worth two bushels
of oats of the light sort usually grow n,
which is largely husk. The crop, too,
is put i'm at times and harvested at
times convenient for the farmer

The work of thoroughly reform
ing the civil service and redressine
the evils of past maladministration
is a tremendous task; the difficulty
of which and the incapability to per-
form it was the excuse of the great
statesman Samuel ]. Tilden for de.
clining to allow his name to be
presented to the democratic nation
al convection last year.
While the course of the new adj
ministration, with regard to appoint
ments and otherwise, is such as to
hold the support of all civil service
reformers and to estop the organs of
the late g. 0. p. from pointing out a
Just cause of complaint, there seems
to be a disposition on the part of a
certain few democratic newspapers
to find fault because removals arc
not made more rapidly and the selec-
lions when made are not always In
accord with their wishes or ideas as
to the proper persons to be selected
for the positions. From the APP
pointments so far it is manifest that
the chief aim of president Cleveland
and cabinet has been to select demo-
Gratis of good character especially
fitted for their respective positions.
Where this done, opposition on &C
count of personal grievances, or like
reason will not amount to much nor
receive much sympathy from people
in general. 1t is quite natural that
democratic editors from being SO
long among the opposition and see
ing much to condemn and little to
commend in the party i'll power,
should be much given to fault find
ing, and find it very awkward to
become supporters Of the admins
tration. And therefore it would be
well for all to be on their guard
least the force of habit lead them
into cavilling at the work of their
own party leaders when they are
doingas well as mortal men can
do under the circumstances.

1t seems that our old-fashioned
Fourth of July" has gone never
more to return. In fact there APP
pears to be no room for a Fourth Of
July. With the various conven-
tons, convocations, encampments,
and excursions of this, that and the
other order we seem to have lost
sight of our national anniversary
altogether. A spasmodic effort IS
made here and there to " celebrate"
but in truth the Fourth of July is
made to take a back seat, to be wait
ed upon when the associations, So
cieties, clubs and orders, have been
properly cared for, and the pleasures,
the fanfaranade, the fuss and feath-
ers, of excursion or dress parade
fully enjoyed. Ours is a progress
sive age, and of course people who
believe in celebrating the Fourth are
not up with the times; there is no
progression about them; they don't
belong to orders and clubs enough,
hence their old-fogy notions about
kindling and keeping alive spirit
of patriotism, and kindred nonsense.
But seriously, it really seems too
bad that the Fourth of July should
be neglected. Although in it is obser-
verance there may be much that is
superficial, much that is mere glitter
and show the grand central pur-
pose that prompts and carries for
ward the observance of the day is
one that should be encouraged. Let
us by no means give up our Fourth
of July celebrations. There is 4 de-
mocacv about them that we find no
where else. The Fourth of July
should be observed rs it has been in
the past as the great anniversary
festival not from motives of gain or
worldly pelf, but from love Of
freedom and the right; to impress
upon all the brotherhood of human
ity by being moved by one common
purpose in one common cause

There is an expectation in some
quarters that the democracy OF Wis
consiu will make the leading issue
of the next political campaign a
demand for a lower license law tor
the sale of liquors For the party TO
pursue such a course The Democrat
would consider the bliudcst folly.
Compared with license laws OF other
states our present law is not cX-
tremely high, ard is an improve
ment on the old plan OF leaving the
amount of fee optional with village
and city boards. 1t ought at least
to be given fair trial before its re-
peal or amendment is demanded.
To refuse to do so would be wrong,
and we believe would be unpopular
at the present temper of public sem
timent. The following paragraph
Of good hard sense upon this sub
iect is from the Milwaukee Journal.
Those politicians who imagine that
the present license law is very OBJ
noxious to the people of the state
would find themselves nightly mis-
taken if the question were put the
test:
The democratic state central committee will
meet Wednesday 10 act upon the resignation OF
Chairman Anderson and Secretary Wall An eff
fort will be made to secure the selection OF Q
chairman who will lead fight for low license
Republicans who desire republican success il
Wisconsin should pray that II might succeed
LIQUOR dealers who do not want to pay 81, on
license instead of 500 within the next thret
years may pray the other way. The license ques
ton is out of politics at present 1t should sta!
out and give the real issues of the day chance
to be discussed and understood. The question
which Jim Blaine hadn't time TO explain in Wis
consin last fall is the question upon which ths
democracy can carry this state If they can evel
carry it. The agricultural state of Wisconsin
wants relief from the robber tariff. II isn't par
ticularly interested in raising taxes higher &c
make the liquor license lower. Saloons are not
so scattered as to cause inconvenience as yet

We do not, like some of our contem-
