MIXED FARMING IS BEST. An in
cident of the disadvantages of special
farming is spoken of by an Eastern far
mer in the Massachusetts PlOuqhpaaa.
One of his neighbors had small farm.
He was entirely dependent on his
crops for a livelihood, and onions had
been a paying crop. He put all his
land into onions. He had nothing
else. He got good crop. But it was
an onion season, and they were so
plenty that they hardly paid for gath
ering. He did not get enough from
them to pay his expenses, although
he had large crop. This was a spec
iality in farming. That year potatoes
paid wonderfully well. If he had put
One-balf Of his farm in potatoes he
would have made money. He got
thoroughly sick of his onions, and the
next year he gave them up and went
into potatoes. He made them n speci-
atty and they proved that year total
failure. But If he had planted these
crops together each year, and prac-
( ticed mixed husbandry, he would have
been successful on both years. Asit
was, he was thoroughly cleaned out.

The ADMINISTRATION AND THE
OFFICE SEEKERs.-A dispatch to the
New York ECening Post from Washing
ton, states that President Cleveland, in
reply to Vice-President Hendricks and
Senator VOrhees, who urged upon him
to appoint Democrats to office more
rapidly and generally to recognize the
spoils system, said that he should
stand by his pledges upon that subject.
The same despatch asserts that Secre-
tary Bayard has done more to discour-
age applicants for Office than anv other
member Of the Cabinet. Several influ-
ential Democrats, it says, called uDon
him the other day and presented a pe-
titiOn bearing a long list of distin-
guished names and urging him to make
a certain appointment to a consulate.
The Secretary looked at the paper and
then said: This is very strong pc
tition. | will have it properly filed
and give it my consideration if a va
cancy occurs" The assurance had n
depressing effect upon the delegation.
POstmaster-GeneTal Villas, according to
the same authority, says that he does
not expect to make any considerable
changes in the bureau offices of his de.
partment for some time, as it would
greatly injure the service to attempt
wholesale changes. There is a great
competition for the position of First As
sistant Postmaster General, the officer
who has immediate charge of the an
pOintments.

THE RAILROAD STRIKES.

The strikes on the Western roads
have assumed large, if not dangerous
proportions. So far the strikers have
refrained from any violence, and have
exhibited Il respect for the United
States Court in Illinois Ond Indiana, in
whose hands the Wabash Road has
been placed by its creditors, which
they have not for their employers. In
Missouri the wOrkmen have practi-
cally put their case in the hands of the
State authorities until Saturday. This
indicates desire to accomplish their
ends without resorting to the harsher
means that were threatened at the ear
lier stages Of the contest, and it is to
be hoped that the outcome will be an
amicable settlement of the difficulties.
That the strike is a very serious
matter, even in its subdued aspect.
goes without saying. The railroad
lines directly affected are those of the
Texas Pacific, the Missouri Pacific and
the Wabash. These are the leading
roads of the great Western and South
western system which is controlled by
Jay Gould, and they traverse the
States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Arkansas, Louisiana. Kan
sas and Texas. The railroad mileage
affected, including branches, is $500
miles, and the number of EMPLOYEES
has been estimated at 100000 The
gross earning of the roads last year
were about $26,000,O00, and the num-
Der Of passengers carried was more
than 3,500,000. These figures give
some idea of the extent of country af
tected by the strike and the property
which is imperiled, as far as Mr..
GOuld's roads are concerned. Indirect
ly, however, the business Of the whole
country will be disturbed if the strike
is prolonged, as the roads connect init
mately with all lines East and West.
One feature of the strike is the sym
pathy which the people living along
the lines are said to have with the
strikers. This feeling, which grows
out Of the granger and anti-monOpoly
agitation, may yet play an important
part in the difficulty. There can be
little doubt that the employees have
been large sufferers from the causes
which have led to the bankruptcy OF
the Wabash and Texas Pacific, and re-
gard themselves as having already paid
full tribute to the great losses that
have been made. There is as little
doubt that they have nothing to gain
in crippling the companies which en-
plOy them and, by cutting off their
sources of income, increase the embar-
easements which have compelled the
companies to cut down their expenses.
including the wages which they have
been paying heretofore to the striking
employees.

A had Way 10 Collect n Debt.

Joseph Schneider lies in a critical con-
clifton at his home, No. 643 Forty-third
street, Chicago, Ill. His eyes, mouth and
breast are horribly burned with vtriol,
and the attending physician says there
is some doubt about his recovery and
that in any event he will lose his sight.
Some time ago Schneider borrowed, it
is said, 81 900 from Mrs. Stadleman. He
failed to pay it and she sued him and
obtained judgment for 5000. This was
not paid until about two weeks ago,
when Schneider got married. Before
the marriage he is said to have compro-
missed the matter with Stadleman by
paying her $50. Sunday night he acri-
dentally met Mrs. Stadleman. They
had some words, when the woman
quick as flash dashed the entire con-
tents of large bottle of vitriol into his
face. He was removed to neighborlng
drug store, where it was found that the
liquid had penetrated his eyes, run down
his mouth, causing his tongue to swell
so that he can scarcely speak, then trick
led all over the upper portion Of his
body. He was removed to his home.
The woman escaped after throwing the
vitriol and will probably not be arrest
ed, as Schneider informed the police that
he did not intend to prosecute and re-
uuested she be not arrested.

A Martyr 10 Science.

A young medical student of Lima,
studying for his final examination, Sc
lected as subject of his dissertation a
report on the well-known disease in
digenous to Peru, known as verrugas
or Oroya fever. In order to form per-
feet diagnosis of the disease, the student
caused himself to be inoculated with
virus from verrugas pustule and then
awaited the result. He soon exhibited
all the symptoms of Oroya fever, and
was confident that his experiment
would prove very valuable to the med
ical profession. Unfortunately his
strength was not sufficient to withstand
the virulence of the fever, End, on the
9Th inst, after suffering excruciating
agony, he died. The police ordered an
investigation to prove the culpability
of the physicians who permitted or
practiced the incubation. The remains
were followed to the grave by the scien-
tific and medical notabilities of Lima,
who declared that the student was u
martyr to science, and that his name
must be associated with those of Pasteur,
Jenner and Ferran.
