The Mouse n the OYSTER.

1t was such a funny thing that
happened. Papa brought some
oysters home in the shell one day
and placed them in the back
shed. There they stayed till next
morning when mamma used them.
She laughed and laughed at what
she saw, and then called Robbie to
see. The oysters had opened their
shells just a little, and a young
mouse-a tiny one, not more than an
inch long had popped its head be-
tween the sharp edges of one. AT
once. the oyster closed upon the
poor fellow; and there he was,
caught in trap never set for mice.
The fat oyster nipped its head so
tight between the sharp edges of the
shell that the mouse was choked in
few minutes.
When mamma called Robbie, there
they were. oyster aud mouse, fasten-
ed tight together. Robbie begged
to keep them till papa came home
at night.
When papa had seen the wonder
and heard the story. he deaided that

Wages in Europe.

The department of state has just
issued pamphlet of consular reports
on the wages paid workIngmen on the
continent of Europe. All the ma
terial for this volume was in hand
last summer, but for some reason it
was not published. Mr.. Blaine's
friends charged that the delay was
due to the unfriendliness of the
department to his canvass, and made
many boasts of what they could show
if they only had these figures. Some
of them IN their extremity went so
far as to manufacture figures of their
own and distribute them broadcast
as genuine.
A pesrual of the report shows that
Mr.. Frelinghuysen did Mr.. Blaine
and his party friendly service by
suppressing them during the cam
paign. In every part of Germany,
which under Bismark' tariff Ieanings
has been going deeper and deeper
into the the protection policy, wages
have during the last seven years
steadily decreased. The more 'spro-
lection the working people of the
Fatherland have had, the smaller
their earnings have been and the
more they have emigrated. In Eng
land, on the contrary, it is a fact
susceptible of proof that nearly all
classes of wage workers are better
off to-day than they were before the
reform laws were passed. In some
lines the advance has been only tri-
fling, but in all, the people live bet
ter than they ever did under a pro-
tectiye tariff.
The mistake of the ignorant and
the device of the demogogue is to
compare the condition of American
workmen with that of the English,
when IN the very nature of things
there can be no comparison. Com
parsons between low tariff countries
and high tariff countries in Europe,
invariably show that the wage work.
er in the former is much better off
than The one in the Chicago
Herald.

News scarce this week.
We fear that some of your cor
respondents have concealed, as
is nearly the case with ourseIf.
This week We cronicle the death
of two or our most estimable fellow
men, in the persons of Mr.. Thomas
Hart, and Mr.. Peter Richards. Mr..
Hart died on the 18th inst. after 3
brief lines of pneumonia. Mr.. H.
was consistent christian, a peacable
and quiet citizen and was beloved by
all knew him, he leaves q wife and
several children to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Richards departed this life on
the 18th inst, of typhoid fever. He
was in his 86th year, and was amen.
Der of the Presbyterian church for
over so years. His remains were
inferred in the Prairie Valley ceme-
try, surrounded by hostof relatives
and friends, who had assembIedtop pay

1t is therefore important that it be
obtained from large stables, where
it can all be made in two or three
days. That which is slowly aecumu-
lated from two or three horses is al
most entirely useless have tried
it with uniformly poor success. It
commonly gives feeble heat and
it does not last long. The heat viii
often dwindle in week: after the
bed is made. 1t is important also
that the manure should not contain
too much straw. 1t should not be
so light with litter or straw thatit will
spring up whel 1t is trodden down
put in straw as long as the manure
will pack firmly. Manure from
highly fed horses is best, especially
from those fed on corn meal. Good
manure, properly managed, ought
to give nearly inform heat for
two months and sometimes it will
last three months.
DuAtuS Salu1k ottO ECUAuaLy etAC
manure should be put in TO the depth
of foot, after it is thoroughly pack
ed down. In March and April
smaller amount will usually be suf-
ficient. If the manure is over foot
deep, the heat may be too great.
Over the manure place good loan to
the depth of eight inches or . foot.
It is essential to success with the
hot bed that the glass be near the
earth, especially in those made early
in the season. Three or fonr inches
space between the mould and glass
is quite enough. While only fresh
manure should be used for the hot
bed, il should not be put in until the
heating process has commenced
For the general farmer in this eli
mate, the last of February or the
first of March Is early enough to
start the hot bed, AMI it may be de-
layed until the first Of April.

Mr.. DocKERY's congressional res

that during the year 1876, 1880, 1882
and 1884 the expenses for special
deputy marshals at elections were
S651,830; supervisors, $928, ,334 I;
chief supervisors, 1898, 752 or a
total of 81, ,973, ,916. In other words
''the grand party" spent that enor-

to employ bummers and plug uglies
to work for Republican success at

money and goes to show in one par
ticular how the Radicals have re-

SENATORIAL.

The busy hum of the Senatorial
bee buzzlpg in the bonnets of sew
esal parties is now heard all over
this coast. A good many men
claim to be thoroughly posted as to
the combinations being made, but
the APPEAL has yet to find man
who could advance any good reason
for the faith that was in him. SEN
ator Stewart is just now proml-
aeptly before the people as an ad-
,ocate Of the silver interests OF
this State.
The Silver State charges that he,
while in the Senate, voted Tor
John Sherman's bill to pay the
bond-holders in coin, as we'll as Tor
the bill passed in 1873 to demone-
tie silver and limit its legal tender
quality to Eve dollars. This IS a
serious charge against Stewart, and
az vet, however, it is only matter
Of newspaper rumor, as the Silver
State presents nothing to substan-
tiate the statement.
The matter, however, should DC
investigated befor the horse is
saddled and bridled and taken out
on the track. The Republican
party should recognize the sort OF
race before it, and settle upon
some man whose record cannot be
successfully assailed. The charges
AGAINST Stewart should be investi
gated by Republicans before the
campaign begins: and the truth o.
.alsity fully established.
If men are running a big race
for heavy stakes they do not ente
horses which are not wholly sount
in wind and limb. If the hors'
has gone lams it is best to know
before the starters flag falls ant
the word is given to 90.
Rollin Daggett, John w. Macka:
and W, T. Hobart are spoken OF
but as yet no one has announced
himself except Dacgett. The val
ious parties who are anxious tor tn
Senatorial honors had better NEE
in friendly way and ascertain ho'
much strength each can count on
Let the strongest 60 into the high
sauarely before the people, asslste
by the others.
The Republican party has throw
away easy things in politics her
before now, and the leaders of tn
party ought to profit by the exper
ancas of the past.

Truth AND FICTION.

Major Dennis Of the Times ke-
view. in another column, tells no"
when he told true story about the
Pollard marriage no ore believed
him. but when he concocted an I'M
mense lie about the luminous
shrub, everybody took 1t as the
sospel truth. The APPEAL has
had precisely the same experience:
On two occasions it originated
stories 50 improbable that it did
not suppose for moment that any
one would believe them. Yet the
Frank Leslie's illustrated paper
gave them full page illustrations
Later on the editor sent to the same
paper an account of the discovery
Of the prehistoric tracks, but the
managers Of the illustrated paper
returned the manuscript saying
that their columns were not open
to such unheard of exaggeratlons.
When one comes to consider the
cold reception given to truth, and
the warm welcome a lie receives IN
the United States, is it to be won
aered at, that John Dennis. Rufus
Shoemaker and the editor OF the
APPEAL have settled down to
steady Justification, with a view OF
maintaining the large circulation OF
the;r respective newspapers.
