Farmers Not Readers.-The following, by
the editor of Coeman's Rural World, is as appli-
cable to Maryland as to Missouri, where the paper
is published: ave meet farmers wherever we
happen to be journeying in Missouri whose ready
means are very small because of the losses sus-
tanned within few years past by the wheat crop,
hog cholera, etc., and the low prices at which they
have been compelled to sell nearly everything be-
cause of the late commercial depression. They
are poor, very poor they are discouraged, broken
in spirit and at their wits end, not knowing which
way to turn or what to do, and there is one thing
about all this that is calculated to discourage even
those whose duty it is to suggest expedients and
remedies-the fact that the farmers do not seem to
have energy enough to attempt new plans and i'm
proved processes. Their hogs-what they have
left-are being bred and fed and generally ham
died in the same old way, and they pillow their
land and sow to wheat just as before, withoutany
effort, apparently, to solve the problems OF what
caused their hogs to die, what they may sow or
plant in the place of wheat, or, if they must sow
wheat, what they can do to increase its volume
and quality. 1t is deplorable fact that not ten
per cent. of the farmers take and read and thor
oughly digest live and reliable paper devoted to
their interests; and until they do so, they must
remain ignorant, thriftless and poor, the veriest
playthings of times and seasons, of floods and of
drouths, of crop destroying insects and stock de-
stroying disease. He who would improve on this
condition must circulate good papers"

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris.
Philadelphia Times.

The public should now let Mrs. Nellie Sartoris
alone. She has never attempted to attract nOto-
riety in any way, but on the contrary, she has
always deported herself as a modest and sensible
lady. Being the daughter of General Grant, she
could not escape public observation, but whatever
may be her domestic life, it is her own and of her
own creation, and it should be sacred to herself.
She would have married more wisely and been
more justly appreciated, had she married wor-
thy man of her own country, but she chose to
marry Mr.. Sartoris, and her domestic life is not
a proper matter for public discussion.

A Comfortable "Nest Egg
Kent C0,tnfU Ne,cs.

he"t Oo""y 4'eOo'
The Protestant Episcopal Church of Chester
town is Gin luck" 1t has just come in possession
of the snug little sum of fourteen hundred dollars
in a singular manner The officiary of the church
received information few days ago from the
Eutaw Savings Bank, Baltimore, that the sum
above named was to the credit of Chester parish
in that institution. How did it get there? This
was the mystery to every body for time, but was
soon explained. In the sale of the old parsonage
property, on the corner of High and Mill streets,
certain amount of the proceeds of sale was plac-
ed in the above institution by the late Judge
Chambers, and the pass-book fell into the hands
of the late Miss Caroline Thompson. The church
supposed the amount had all been consumed in
the purchase and repair of the Queen street par
sonage, so that for about twenty years the little
"nest egg" in the Savings Bank has been lying
there and accumulating until now it reaches the
sum 81 400.

Another New Swindle.

There is something humorous about the rascali-
y the latest country swindler He travels around
offering to paint the hands of all the clocks with
secret preparation which will make them visible in
the dark. After he collects his charge he paints
the hands perfectly white, so that only the very
closest inspection will enable to tell them from
the face of the clock. A swindler who only swim
dies in this fashion is not necessarily wholly bad
man. No man who is so fond of joke is too far
gone to reform.

that statesmen who dispose of goods on the INSTALL

there is legal way to do this, which they must

judge has decided that no goods thus bought on
installments could be removed, and no agent had
a right to enter a house to do it. The judge held
that having sold and delivered his goods on credit
he shall have no other remedy whatever for COL
Letting what is owed him than is allowed to any
other creditor. The victims of the "installment
plsn" should understand this.

County Fairs.-The Hagerstown Globe says ::
"County fairs for the exhibition of farm products,
live stock, etc., great success this year in
counties where they being held. This is due
to good management, fair dealing and candid CO.
operation. The farmer when he prepares his
ground and sows his seed for the seasons crops,
recalls to mind the superior character of some
of the exhibits of the past fair and resolves in his
mind that he will direct his energies to such i'm
provements in conducting his farm that he will
be able to successfully compete for the prizes to
be offered at succeeding fairs. And the stock
breeder finds by comparison that he is below the
standard, and besides that he will increase the
care and attention that he bestows on his animals
until he will lead in place of following. In other
departments to see is to implant desire in the
breast of the observer to do well, if not BETTER
and thus an earnest and healthy competition is
melted that perhaps would have remained DOR
mani if no fairs were held to bring different COM
munities of farmers and their articles of produc
ton together"
