The Democratic Sixth Ward poed 1900 votes to-

ers about town and voted them. Judges
would not hear cballengcrs. Policemen
laughed when asked to arrest fraudulent
voters. Republican chaengers in Democratic
wards ceased to make objections, saved their breath

DON'T WAIT TILL YOU'RE OLD.

Don't wait till you're old
Fol your love TO be told,
For tie little blind god is capricious;
In young hearts he delights,
And, IL robbed of his rights,
May resent it In ways quite NAL cious.
He may cause you to pair
With a maid fresh and fair,
Who ct heart cares for naught but your money
Or make you regret
With some ancient coquette.
The old days that were buoyant and sunny.
For first love at least
lids his gu. SITS to the fea t
fnthe heyday of youth and of passion;
And the laggard may fine,
II to ondness inclined,
Both his speech and his looks out of fashion
Then whisper your VOWS
Under Youths budding boughs,
With q world and your future before you,
Nor wait till the sere
OF old age to make clear
That a heart may be wooed to adore you.
So uncertain is life
That a weli-chcsen wife
Should companion ones years of discretion
From the threshold, elate,
Of mans sturds estate,
Lest lie miss, by delay, the possession.

Material for the Naturalist.

Some of the finest material for the
novelist that can be imagined is to be
found in the United States Treasury.
There is q bureau called the Division
of Abandoned Lands and Property
that in itself is One great roman g.
Its history is fuller of the marvellous
than anything eve written. There
are $13. 900, 900 in its charge belonging
to people in the South alone. During
and at the close of the war there was
valuable property of all sorts which
fell into hands of army officers and
was turned over to the Treasury. Over
S12, coo, 900 of the money charged to
that bureau is the proceeds Of cotton
taken from plantations all over the
South and sold. The money it brought
was turned in. The amounts finally
became so great that Mr.. Chase, then
Secretary, created a division that
should have especial charge OF all this
sort of thing. There is one instance
where S175, 900 worth of cotton was
taken from a far South estate, when
cotton was worth about $500 4 bale.
and sold. The persons to whom it
belonged were not rebels, but loyalists.
They haven't an idea of where their
cotton went to. Their m were on
the bales, and it would not be difficult
for them to make Il case if they knew
what to do. But it has been nearly
twenty-three years since the money
was deposited. And it is hardly pro-
bable that they will ever get what is
really theirs. All the testimony re-
lating to the case is in the possession
of the Government. The agent who
took the cotton and the one who sold
it are both dead, and the owrers would
not be able to make their case with
out some proof which they haven't
got.-Boston Transcript.

many parts of New York. rs in Penn
sylvania and New England, the APP
pie crop is so enormous this year that
barrels are practically worth more emp
ty than they are filled with the fruit.
The United States fish commission
reports a great decrease in the halibut
and cod-tisheries of America. The
cause for this is attributed either to
low temperature of water or the de-
struction of fry by reckless fishing. A
general falling off of flat fish is report
ed from Germany this year and q dim
mutton of the herring fishery is re-
corded from Belgium.
One of the most successful of Illinois
dairymen keeps a hundred COWS. but
never raises a pound of hay. He feeds
his cows on corn fodder, cut when in
blossom, bound, and set up till cured,
or till winter, when it is removed to
the barn. He gets seven tons of this
dry fodder to the acre, and claims it is
worth as much as the best of hay.
The National Fish Culture associa-
ton have made arrangements to I'M
port a large consignment of carp from
Germany for the purpose of acclima-
tizing them to the waters of the United
Kingdom. In Germany, China. France
and America carp-farming is extern
sively prosecuted with highly remun-
erative results.
Do not cover the lawn all over with
stable manure which is to remain
there all winter as an offense to the
eye, the nostrils, and the feet. There
is nothing more disgusting than this
turning a lawn into a barnyard, and
there is no necessity for it.
A Colorado paper says that "the
COW may be queen, the horse king, and
the sheep away up in royal honors but
it is an indisputable fact that the hog,
under the impetus of alfalfa and pea
food, is approaching dangerously near
the throne"
1t is claimed and generally accept
ed that the Jersey reds are descended
from the large importations of Berk-
shires when these hogs, as they did
years ago, had a much coarser body,
with pendent ears, and were often
marked with red.

Hammer Signals.

There are few persons, either IN thu
city or country, who have not ut times,
watched a blacksmith at work in his
shop with his assistant or striker.
They have noticed that the smith
keeps up q constant succession of mo-
tions and taps with 4 small hand-ham-
mer, while with his left hand he turns
and moves the hot iron which the as
sistant is striking with 4 sledge. The
taps are not purposeless, but given
entirely for the direction of the striker.
When the blacksmith gives the anvil
quick, light blows it is 4 signal to the
helper to use the sledge or strike
quicker. The force of the blows given
by the blacksmith's hammer indicates
the force OF the blow it is required to
give by the sledge. The blacksmith's
helper is supposed to strike the work
in the middle of the width of the anvil,
and when this requires to be varied
the blacksmith indicates where the
sledge blows are to fall by touching
the required spot with his hand-ham-
mer.
If the s,edge is required to have a
lateral motion while descending, the
blacksmith indicates the same to the
helper by delivering hand-hammel
blows, in which the hand-hammer
move in the direction required for the
sledge to mOve. Ii the blacksmith
delivers Il heavy blow upon the work
and an immediate light blow on the
anvil it denotes that heavy sledge
blows are required.
If there are two or more helpers the
blacksmith stikes a blow before each
helpers sledge-hammer blow, the o.
ject being to merely denote where the
siedge blows are to fall. When the
blacksmith desires the sledge blows to
cease he lets the hand-hammer head
fall upon the anvil and continue its
rebound upon the same until 1t ceases.
Thus the movements OF the hand-ham-
mer constitute signals to the helper,
and what appear desultory blows tc
the common observer constitute the
method of communication between the
blacksmith and his Observation-Disclosures
ReDOrter.

A Pleasant Surprise.

a dollar and a half for him. Jingling
the money in his hands:

the gentlemen have no objections"
The generous donors were somewhat
surprised, but not so much so as they
were when he, having utilized their
subsidy to come into the game. got

crowd to step up to the bar and irrigate
