He oughter been the editor of a

THE SOUTH.

Fancy country of varied surface,
mountain and plain, hill and date,
symmetrical slopes and rounded
knobs, and broad savanas carpeted
with perpetual green, and breezy up
land purple with rising aud setting
suns; a land vocal offippling streams,
where furrOwed fields make generous
response to the appeal of the hus-
bandman, and forests of primeval
growth keep guard over measurless
areas Of soil never yet touched by the
ploughshare land of focks and
herds, Of fruits and flowers, of grain
and grass; land fruitful of whatever
Is needed for the sustenance, the com
fort and happiness of man, for his
highest physical, intellectual and
moral deyelopement; land of soft
atmosphere and element skies, of bold
rivers and broad estuaries a land of
kindly hearts and hospitable homes,
OF brave men and beautiful women !:
a land consecrated by noble deeds
and illustrious with immortal names,
land of pure hearthstones and I'M
defled sanctuaries fancy such a
country, we say, and if you be a
dweller in this fair land OF the South,
look around you; beholding all you
have fancied, lift up your heart in
grateful recognition ofthe good Provi-
dence that has placed you in the midst
of 50 many blessings.

In nearly all large cities are places
where horses that are completely used
up are taken, stimulated and polish
ed up and sold to unsuspecting coun-
trymen at $25 to $40 each as horses
temporarily disabled. Of course the
animals are utterly worthless, but the
sharpers manage to make an average
of about $40 each on them. 1t is said
that some of the scamps who conduct
the establishment are so skillful that
they can almost revive a dead horse
long enough to trade him off Sin his

CATTLE ON THE PLAINS.

A ranchman writing to the New
York Sun gives sad picture of the
''cattle horror" the result of extreme
cold weather in Western Kansas and
the Indian Territory. He says that
the losses of this winter will doubt
less wreck many cattle companies and
show staggering figures on the wrong
side of the ledger to many more yet
the business will still go on, and not
until the strong hand of the law COM
pels him will greedy man provide
food for his cattle during the long,
hard winters that seem to have come
to stay in the West.
Fifty per cent. loss What does
that mean? Simply that one-half the
herd, wading mile after mile through
endless snow and storm, consumed
with thirst and flayed by the pitiless
wind in vain search for food, shelter
and water. These gaunt specimens
of man brutality to animals finally
drop from sheer exhaustion, and never
rise, or huddle together and pile up
and die in heaps like hogs. And the
end is not yet, for every stockman
knows that the most trying time is
yet to come. Breeding cattle, starved
through the winter and weak almost
unto death, when calving time comes
will be too weak to rise, and COW and
calf will perish where they lie.
A correspondent of the Kansas
City Journal says that on the ranch
es up in the Territory that dead cat
tie were literally piled up. The
great difficulty is to get water for
these enormous herds. The creeks
are all frozen to the bottoms, and a
large number of cattle, in rustling
for water, slip down upon the ice.
and from prolonged fasting are SO
weak that they cannot again get up
on their feet, and are soon chilled
through ana die. The creeks through.
out the range are now strewn witt
dead cattle that have thus persisted
In very severe weather cattle vii
herd together very close, and when
they become very cold they will
crowd upon one another and pile VI
like hogs. In this way large nun.
bers are killed, and punches of deaC
cattle that met their death in thi,
manner may be seen frequently
throughout the range.
Thousands, ay, hundreds of thous-
ands of famished,. starved and dead
cattle in the land where feed is plen-
ty is certainly a scene that of itself
propounds the inquiry, why should
this state of affairs continue?'

HOW TO MANAGE A MAN.

San Francisco News Letter.
Nothing on earth fetches man like
a good dinner and a well-dressed wife
presiding. The husband who can look
forward to such a state of things every
day of his life will never tire of home,
and the wife who studies his comfort
will have little difficulty in managing
him according to her will. Men are
gregarious animals, and will wander
in spite of all allurements, but they
are selfish enough to remain where
they are best treated, and by taking
"a little trouble for year or two of
married life the years that follow will,
as rule, find the husband always
glad to go back to the pretty home
where smiles await him and the din
ner | spoke of. There are 50 many
women who object to being "bossed,"
as they call it. My dear ladies, you
can always be boss if you take the
trouble. By giving in you get your
own way as you never would by fight
ing for it. And, after all, it is better
to feel you respect your husband 50
much that to give in to him is not a
difficulty.
Nine men out of ten are manageable
if you go the right way about it, and
one great point is to actafter marriage
just as you did before. Argument
and contradition are vital enemies to
married peace. Should you wish for
anything particularly, don't insist up
ON it after refusal. Some women are
persistent, and ask "Why may i
not? Why won't you do as l tell
you 2 and irritate the man. Rather
bide your time, and make an extra
good dinner of his fayorite dishes, put
a bow on of the color he likes, make
home and yourself sweeter titan ever.
You'll get it sure, even if you have to
wait. Also, when you want him to
do any particular thing which you
know will be for his good, for heavens
sake do not say "Do it" Rather
drop a hint that you think so and so
would be "A good thing to do. Gethim
interested, and then let the subject
drop. Venture to say that in a short
time that man will do precisely as you
wished; he will never permit you to
think that he has traded the least on

4 TOUCHING SCENE.

There was a pathetic scene on a
train on the Western Division of the
Erie Saturday." said conductor on
that road to New York Sunreporter
"a woman boarded the train at Clean.
She carried in her arms baby but
a few weeks old. 1t was very cross
and peevish, and defied all of its
nurses efforts to keep it quiet. Its
cries We're at times so loud and pierre
ing that the other passengers could
not hide their annoyance, and after
awhile audible expressions of their
feelings came from all parts of the
car. The woman was patient under
the double trial of the child's trouble
someness and the evident knowledge
Of the annoyance it was to her fell
low passengers. She talked sooth-
ingly to the child, placed it in all po-
sitions and tried to so arrange its
wrappings as to, in a measure, deaden
the sound of its cries. Finally some
one in the car, whose impotence had
got the better of his sympathy, shout
ed out:
If that child can't be kept quiet,
| nope it may be removed from the
car at the next station 2"
'This unteeling remark seemed to
meet with general approval, and the
woman's eyes filled with tears, and in
attempting to speak her feelings over
came her and she pressed the ba-
by closer to her and sobbed violently.
She soon recovered herself and re-
doubled her efforts to keep the child
quiet. For short time she succeeded
somewhat, but presently the cries of
the baby were as loud and prolonged
as ever. At last man arose and
said sharply:
Madam, it would seem to Inc that
the mother of an infant shonld know
at least how to take half care of it.
''The train had now stopped at Sal
amancy. At the remark of the see
ond speaker the woman arose in her
seat and facing the car full of passen-
gers, said, in trembling voice:
Il am not this poor little things
mother. | never saw it before yes
terday, and | believe it hasn't liv.
ing relative. Its father was killed
on the railroad a week before it was
born. Its mother, living in distant
place, hurried to the scene of her
husbands death. The.child was born
among strangers, and day before yes
terday the mother died, leaving her
little one with no one to care for it.
| lived in the house where the moth
er died and volunteered to do what |
could for the poor little thing and to
go with the dead woman's remains to
her native place. Her body is on this
train. am sorry the child is SO
troublesome, but isn't it entitled to
some little sympathy?'
The effect of the woman's words
may be imagined. There were few
dry eyes in the car when she dropped,
sobbing, into the her seat. All sell
tshness was lost in sympathetic
thoughts Of the desolate little wan
derer, and a score of hands that a
moment before were almost willing
to raise in chastisement of the bah,
were now anxious to extend aid to it
and its self-sacrifcing guardian. 1t
was touch of nature that makes the
whole world kin "

a plan recently introduced into
Belgium for preserving wood from
the decay produced by the atmos-
phere, water, etc, etc, is to fill the
pores of the wood with liquid gutta
percha, which is said to eilectually
preserve it from moisture and the ac-
ton ofthe sun. The process employ
ed consists in exhausting the air from
the pores Of the wood and filling them
with gutta percha solution, in pour
ing the solution into the pore. The
solid gutta percha is liquefed by
mixing it with paraffn in proportion
of about two-thirds of gutta percha
to one-third Of paraflin; the mixture
is then subjected to the action of
heat, and the gutta percha becomes
sufficiently liquid to be easily intro
duced into the pores of the wood
The gutta percha liquefied by this
process hardens in the pores of the
wood as it becomes cold.

Beware of Mercury and Potash.

Mercury is more destructive to
human health and life than war, pes
thence and famine combined. So
said a distinguished writer many
years ago, and it is as true to-day as
then. The poor victim Of Blood Dis
ease is drugged with Mercury to cure
the malady, and then dosed with To-
dides to cure him of the Mercurial
Poisoning; but instead of any relief,
the first breaks down his general
health and makes him cripple, and
the other ruins his digestive organs.
Mercury and Potash are dangerous
even when administered by directions
and under the eye of a good physi-
clan, and when put up in nostrums,
often by incompetent persons, are
apt to produce evil consequences. Be
careful Of these poisonous mixtures
or you may regret it. Swift's Specific
is entirely a vegetable preparation and
should not be confounded with the
various limitations, non secret hum
bugs, 'Succus Alterans," etc, all of
either contain Mercury and Potash,
or are composed of old remedies which
have long since been discarded as of
value in the treatment of Blood Dis
eases, and none of them contain a
single article which enters into the
composition Of Swift's Specific. There
is only one Swift's Specific Is. S. s.
and there is nothing in the world
like it. BE sure to get the genuine.

SOME GOOD, HARD COMMON SENSE.
