as he vas in habit of gaining two out
of three of his cases, he never raised a
point. Thus matters moved smoothly
along. But the last time the legal
com batants met the mischief was TO
pay. The old lawyer shelled the
woods with his accustomed zeal and
power but the justice decided in favor
of his antagonist. This made no
special difference, as the old stager
would, Of course gain the next case.
The case was called Both parties ex-
erted themselves, and the justice again
listened rather to the astute sugees-
tons of him who was pleading with

toner. But no absolute difficulty oc-

the unlicensed lawyer won. This was
too much for human nature. The old
lawyer rose to point of order, and
with an air of offended dignity, such
as a member of the Georgia Legislature
assumes when he rises to a question
of privilege, said: "Mr. Justice. this
thing is too offensive for an old law
yer, who knows the law, the whole
law, and nothing but the law, TO stand.
Sir, you know me. tell you the law
but my friend does not. He imposes
on the court. Therefore sir, move
he be disbarred from practicing in
this court" (Sensation.) The old
lawyer who was upset by his oepon-
ents good luck, related his story with
some degree of enthusiasm. But"
said the listener, why did you not
move TO disbar before you lost the
cases?n
"Well," responded the old practi-
toner, II would have done that had
/ known the fellow was going to beat
me like he did.

Feeding Stock.

There is much TO learn in the proper
fattening of animals. The most inn
portant truth is that he who keeps his
stock growing and fsttening from
weaving time until ready for butcher,
or, in case of horses destined for labor
who feeds so as best to develop
muscular power, is he who makes the
most profit; and he must feed to de-
velop for the labor to be performed,
or other special qualities required.
The cow destined for breeding and
for milk, the mare which IS TO produce
superior foals-any animal, in fact,
intended for breeding-may not be
urduly pushed. Nature must have
time to FIJI up and round out every
part of the frame to produce the per
feet animal of its kind. The animal
destined for slaughter may be pushed
from birth until ready for the butch
srs block TO the full limit of us diges-
ton. and with profit; but it would be
quite improbable to follow this course
with aa animal intended for breeding.
How many follow this discriminating
plan? How many exercise the com
mon judgment to bring about each
separate result in the best manner
Yet either ultimate end is brought
about by common sense feeding,
though carried on differently.
The young and growing animal
must have a variety of food natural 10
its wants, but the animal destined 10
be worn out in hauling loads, driving
on the road, or for fast pace on the
racing course, must be developed
more slowly as to the bone, sinew and

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.
TIE OLD RED SLEIGH.
FROM GOOD CHEER

II is out Of fashion, odd and old,
But to me It's worth its weight in gold,
For my father owned it years ago
When We lived in the farmhouse, long and
low.
How proud 1 felt, the very first day
rode around in the old red sleigh.
You see It's mended, nere and there
W here the paint has worn, and left it bare
Aud il forms a mark for many jokes
For il doesn't look like other folks;
But let them laugh and have their say
Ill always keep the old red sleigh.
When it was young and knew life's joys,n
II carried loads of girls and boys;
And one with sunny, floating curls
Was more to me than other girls,
And many "a word of love we'd say
In the low back seat of the old red sleigh
Nancy and Iwould often ride
In the sleigh together, side by side;
And we promised once, when the moon shone
To walk together LIES steep hill;
And we took our wedding ride one day,
Happy as kings in the old red sleigh.
But the boys were growing smart and tall,
And the old red sleigh didn't suit at all
And Fred at last began to tell
How he wouldn't ride ia that old she'll"
And so went TO town one day
And bargainsd there for brand-new sleigh
lt was light, and fancy, and easy, too,
But we old folks couldn't make 1t do,
For 1t was painted and striped so fine
/ never felt as il it was mine.
And in spite Of all the boys could say
We always rode in the old red sleigh.
Those days are gone. Bright, laughing, rogish
Fred
Is sleeping the sleep Of the quiet dead
Dick has built him house on the hill,
And none of the boys are home but VIII.
He is kind to his father and mother gray,
And takes good care Of the old red sleigh.
All, WELL the ties OF the past are strong.
And some may laugh who read my song;
But when | think of those vanished years
l cannot stop the falling tears;
And there's nothing on the farm today
So dear to my heart as the old red sleigh.

Boy Aspirants for Whiskers.
New York Tribune.

An uptown barber with the loquac'
ity of his trade said to me: Tine
young chaps who come here with
bare faces three, four and Eve times q
week, to be shaved so that their
whiskers will grow faster, are
foolish young men. 1t is the popular
notion, which BARRIERS have no inter
est in dispslling, that the oftener
maa IS shaved the faster his wbiskers
will grow. 1t is that which brings
the young fellows SO often into the
barber shop when they have the mer-
est bit of down on their faces. As 9
matter of fact, the hair will come out
just as rapidly and just as thickiy Il
they do not shave at all Shaving
makes the hair stubby and harsh,
which is the thing to avoid How,
ever, it is our business to shave, ana
we seldom enlighten any one on
point ike this.

Speaker Carlisle.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 5.-Speaker Carlisle is
probably elected, but by narrow margin.
He claims majority of from 400 to 600
The official count begins to-day in the eight
counties composing the district Unfortu
nately for those who are most anxious TO
learn the fua result, the counties whose
votes will decide the matter are almost in
accessible. Two Of them have neither rail
roads nor telegraphs but it is probable
enough information may be obtained dur
ing the night to furnish material for de.
cisive statement of the result. The opinion
here IS universal that the cause of the sur.
prisingly close contest lay in the fact that
nearly all tho democrats in the back coun.
ties were unaware of any formal opposition
to Mr.. Carlisle, and thousands of democrats
stayed home. Boone county, which will
give Carlisle about 500 majority is demo
cratic by at least 3 500, and this is a sample
of the indiffereness. The 1000 majority for
Thoebe in Campbell aud Ksnton counties is
due chiefly to the large pum5er of knights
of labor in Covngton and Newport. The
chances this morning are decidedly favor
able to Mr. Carlisle.

Tariff argument has little, if nything, to
do with the revolution in the politics of
| Virginia. The least examination into the
matter will disclose that the falling of in
the democratic vote in that State was due
almost entirely to lack of organization. A
study CT Virginia politics from 1878 shows
that the Successive victories won by General
Malone caue from the elective and vigi.
liant organization which he created and the
weak management Of his opponents. After
| the war the demo cratic or, as it was some
times called, the conservative party of Vir
! giDla for some years carried the elections by
main strength. When Gen. Malone led the
revolt and carried of with him some of the
ablest young men Of the party the regular
organization was LETT without any efficient
management, and it had none until 1888
when Representative John S. Barbour took

MEssRs BLAINE AND MALONE have as
much, and no more, reason for saying the
disparity between the number of colcred
votes and colcred voters in the South is due
TO the fraud ard buldczing of the white
people Of this section, as negro hating
Northern man would have for asserting that
the remarkable falling off in the white vote
OF Virginia, and indeed, of that OF all the
South, at last Tuesdays election, was due to
the fraud ard bulldoziog ofths negroes. When
Southern negroes don't vote, it is because
they don't choose to, and it is the same way

ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5

SOME SOUTHERN newspapers seem to
think that most, if not all, the energy and
thrift manifested in the South since tho war
are directly attributable either to Northern
men who have settled in the South, or to
the business spirit those men have engen-
dered among their native neighbors. And
they have so harped upon this idea, and the
naturally consequent one that the South's
greatest need is the influx of more North
ern settlers, that not only have the people
Of the North been induced to believe that
they are really the cause OF all the South's
prosperity but large portion of those of
the South have also been impressed with the
same egresious error. A plain and patent
proof that there is not only no plausible, let
alone real, ground for such totally erro-
neous belief, is afforded by short biographi-
cal notices of all the men who have
taken leading or prominent parts in the
rise and progress Of the new, growing and
prosperous manufacturing city Of Birming-
hsm. Alabama, published in the Ner South
of that city, by which it is seen that with
hut TWO exceptions, one an Enslishman and
one German, all those men are Southern
ers, native aud to the manner born. The
South affords prosperous and happy homes
to all industrious Northern settlers, invites
them TO come to her easily improved lands
and her genial cline, and gives them q
hearty welcome and many of them have
done their full share in building up her
waste places and in promoting her welfare;
but her unexampled recovery from the ut.
ter desolatiou of the war, and her present
prosperity, are mainly due to the indomita.
BILE will. the unAsgging industry, the pru-
dent economy and the the business integri-
" of her own native soEs. and the attempt
10 deprive them of the resultant credit and
honor, especially when made by people OF
their own section, evinces az little wisdom
as justice.
