Enough, or Not Enough 2

We have been many times told that it
was preposterous to say that an indus
trial school could be started and made to
succeed in Vermont with no greater en-
dowment than the $135, 900, yielding an
income of SIS, 100, which was bestowed on
the state for that purpose by the United
States government. And yet no liter
airy college now in existence in New
England with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions) ever had so much money to
start upon. 1t may be said that in the
old times money went much further
than it now will go in supporting insti-
tutions of learning. We doubt the fact.
AT any rate, " the AdUance tells of a
Christian merchant in Chicago who, as
heincreased in riches, instead of branch
ing out in display and extravaganza in
living, in order to disclose his grow
ing prosperity, thought TO himself,
What shall do with this new capital?
1t is not mine. To what use would the
real Owner have it put?' Plan after
plan was turned over in his mind, till
he CHANGED to see the need of college
in Florida. Immediately he appropri-
ated 900 for endowing an institu-
ton of learning there. Others joined
him with as much more, and thus the
new college was placed on good finan-
cial foundation from the start Now
if 500, 600 is " a good financial founda-
ton " for college in Florida to start

STATIsTICIAN DODGE of the depart
ment of agriculture tells American
farmers pintedly" that I'VE boast of
our exports of products of agriculture
We foolishly talk of feeding the ma
tons of the world. We do not feed
ourselves. In 1888 we paid S240, 900, 900
for food and drink imported, and the
freights, commissions and customs du-
ties in addition; and our food exports,
at prices on the farm and in the pack
ing-house, scarcely sufficed to pay the
bill of costs of such imports. A large
item of this was sugar. Thirty years
ago half the sugar used in the United
States was produced in Louisiana.

The leaves should be put on with the

THE late George Geddes, who was
remarkable for his sound judgment,
thought it was cheaper to cover barn
with rough boards, without painting,
and to repeat the covering, when time
has caused decay, than to have the
whole surface planed and painted; but
cheapest of all is to soak the rough
boards with crude petroleum.

IT is the custom of the world to speak
of farmers as slow and plodding; but
all the processes of nature with which
they work are slow and cannot be hur-
ried. The prosperity of society de-
ponds on these men, who have patience
to wait and endurance to persevere,
who keep the community fed and the
manufacturers supplied with the raw
materials for manufacture.

EXPERIMENTS on a farm must take
time. To perfect new breeds of sheep
or swine takes several years of close
attention. Some of the grandest re-
suits in neat stock have been the work
of lifetime, while mechanical inven-
tions can be changed and tested in
some other form every day till they are
completed.

A DARK carpet often looks dusty so
soon after it has been swept that you
know it does not need sweeping again,
so wet cloth or a sponge, wiring it
almost dry, and wipe off the dust. A
few drops of ammonia in the water will
brighten the colors.

charged win stealing Chickens.

About IL o'clock last uight John s..
Barnh ardt, a son-in-law of Randolph
Peters, and who resides with him on
the farm about two miles from this
city, heard noise among some of their
chickens that were roosting in a tree,
and upon investigating the cause found
colored man named Robert Brown
with two of them in bag. He was
arrested and brought to the hall, and
this morning had hearing before
Judge Cummins.
He admitted taking the fowls, and
said that he had been out of work all
winter. Yesterday he went ont the
railroad and stopped at several places,
hoping to obtain work but could not
find anything to do. He had not had a
square meal for four days, and as he
returned last night, he took the chick
ems because he was hungry. Judge
Cummins said that he had no option in
the matter, and wonld have TO hold him
In 5000 bail for court, but he would see
that the Attorney General was made
acquainted with the facts of the case.

welcome little actress, will make her
first appearance at the Opera House

play goers throughout the length and
breadth of the land. " Fanchon" il

Tuesday night Maggie, the Mid
get," will be presented. This is a
new play written expressly for this
accomplished actress, and has never

TAX On down to Middleburg Marsh above
the phosphate works, where he skins
them and boils up the remainder ~
soon az possible. During the last week
he hauled ont ten horses, the weather
being 30 cold he says that he could not
skin them, ana being frozen they could
not possibly create nuisance. Fri.
day, Mr.. Vandever was arrested upon
a warrant issued at the instance OF
Thomas Brown, director ofthe Mid
|dleburg Marsh Co charged with main
tanning a nuisance in not disposing of
the carcasses of the horses he hauled out
and he was held to answer, by Squire
Bertolette, before the Municipal Court
next Monday morning. Mr.. Vandever
says his suffering from boil under his
arm, and the intense cold of the last
few days were the reasons why the
carcasses were not put out of the way.
He says he is not hired to remove the
carcasses of dead horses, as has been
stated by q morning paper.

An EriOYabIe Party.

On Thursday evening as a representa-
tive of the REPUBLICAN was passing
up Market street, he saw long line Of
carriages in front of the Opera House,
and upon making inquiry ascertained
that they were there by order Of Pro-
fessor A. 8. Webster, TO convey the
lady quests to his first select masque-
rade of the season, at his rooms in the
Masonic Temple. After attending TO
some other business, the reporter re-
turned about 9. 80 O'Clock, and upon en-
tering the room beheld novel but bril-
liant scene.
Some thirty-fve couple were on the
floor, all masked, whirlipg through the
may dance, to bewitching music. On
one side a Clown was doing the
agreeable to Pink Domino" and a
short distance from them a Heathen
Chinee" was waltzing with "Span-
ish Flower Girl" Next in order came a
Fenian Dynamiter," with a staid
"Quakeress," while "Colored Par
sou acted as AN escort to the "God-
de-s of Liberty" A deserted Dude"
persisted in his attentions to "Ta,a-
BOURNE Girl" and "spanish Dom

A full grown Baby" amused herself
with jingling rattle, and dancing
with "Grim DEATH" with which q
Jockey" kept time to the music with
Folly" A Paul Pry," with q
flexible nose, endeavored to penetrate
the incognita of his fair COMPANION.
while a I" Monkey" indulged ia freaks
to make fair ones laugh, and thus assist,
in establishing their identity.
The fun was kept up until the clock
tolled ten, when Professor Webster gave
the long looked for order, uunasK
ALI" and a number of amusing scenes
transpired: Every body, of course, had
known all the time who every bod Y
else was, but it is doubtful If the iden.
tity OF any was known until the masks
were removed. The entire affair was a
grand success, and the dancing was
, kept up until q late hour.
