The question of the hour seems to be;
has Hon. L. d. Kanouse changed front
on the question Of repeating the re.

and Woonsocket News assert that he
has been consistent from the first
while the Huronite alleges specifically
Himself, Kanouse] a member of the

the repeal of the restraining clause te
a vote of the people, and Impressed with

this repeal! The editor of the Huron

accepted no second hand evidence OF
this score.

The democratic enemies of Sam. Ran
dali amended the rules of the house so
as to lessen that gentleman's power as
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. Now these same amended
rules prevent that democratic majority
from virtually repeating the civil SER

preparation bill. He laughs best who

A Hard Worker,

Rapid City Journal; Whatever
may be said OF Delegate Clifford. it is
certain that he has been a consistent
worker. While there is talk in Dakota
of at least half dozen candidates for
his position he remains at Washington
attending to the duties devolving upon
him as a puplic servant instead OF
spending his time in looking after the
condition of his political fences.

1t is to be regretted that the discus
sion on Dakota affairs has reached the
point where the merits of the case are
in danger of being lost sight Of in the
exchange of personal abuse. 1t Ill be-
comes one patriot to arise on his ear
and designate his opponent a "crank,
or coward" but some of the brethren
are doing this very thing.

The democrats of Minnesota are
growing restive under the guardian
ship of Kelly and Doran at last, and
are making an effort to loosen the grip
of the bosses. To the casual looker-on,
it would seem about time that the dis
graceful system of peddling out the
Minnesota offices was broken up.

There seems to be suspicion up in
Sanborn county that Col. Price has
political aspirations. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that this is so. He has always
impressed us as being self-sacrifcing
patriot, laboring wholly for the good
of his fellow man. Yet q political
ambition is not a dishonorable one.

Dry Dirt for Stock.

Clean, fresh. dry dirt should be plenti-
fully used in the barn-yards and stalls.
It is not only an excellent disinfectant
and absorbent, but the animals will use
it to wallow in and clean themselves.
The hog that has access to dry dirt will
be easier to keep, while lice on the stock
and in the stables may be prevented by
its use. We do not see how any farmer
can afford to dispense with dry dirt il
he expects to save and utilize the urine
that is daily made by his stock. The
dirt will arrest the escape of the vola-
tile mattey, especially if q small proper
ton of chloride of lime or land plaster
be added to it. Fresh dirt should be
kept in the pens and yards all the time
as it is cheap and plentiful CkrlstieH

ENDURANCE AT SEA
renacity OF Human Life as Exhibited In
Marine Disasters.

renacity OF Human Life as Exhibited In
Marine Disasters.
In recently published book Clark
Russell gives some remarkable in
stances Of human endurance at sea,
and one of the most interesting relates
to an Arab seaman who lived without
either food or water for eighteen days
during which time he drifted upward
of five hundred miles in an empty tank
before striking the coast. Another in
stance of the tenacity of human life is
exhibited in the account of the loss OF
vessel called the Sally. The Sally
was struck one morning by heavy
squall. She lay over till her decks
were up and down, and in this posture
remained for about five minutes, and
then turned keel upward.
Five of her crew were drowned; the
remainder, six in all, got hold of a
spar that was floating alongside, and
by means of it contrived to crawl
on to the vessels bilge. The MAIN
mast coming up, they removed an
iron hoop from it, with which and a
bolt of foot long they went to work
to penetrate the hull, in the hope OF
obtaining food and drink. She had
been lately cleaned, and there were no
barnacles on her for the poor fellows
to stay themselves with. and thus, in
probably the most awful situation that
can be imagined, without meat. drink
or sleep. not daring to lie down for
fear of falling off the vessel, did these
unhappy seamen go on hacking and
scraping at the hard wood for six days.
during which time one man died raving
for drink.
On the sixth day they had made
hole big enough to enable them to come
at barrel Of bottled beer. On the
eleventh day they got barrel of pork,
which they ate raw. With slaves and
shingles used as dunnage, which they
obtained out of the hole they had made,
they manufactured platform, and SO
manageable obtain some rest. So mat
ters went on for fourteen days, and
they were then picked up by brig
named the Norwich.
Sailors are of opinion, says Mr.. Rus
sell, that il it we're not for the feeding
qualities of the ocean air, they would
scarcely he able to keep body and soul
together upon the bad pork, beef, bis
cult and peas which, in many sailing
ships, are served out to them; nor
would any man be willing to challenge
the sailors theory after examining the
mahogany-like Jumps of stuff with
which the beef-tierces are filed, and
the leaden pellets which do duty for
peas in the forecastle Oinciu-
natl Enquirer.

A Chat With the Most Prominsnt Dsalsz
In This Commodity.

4 Chat with the Most Prominent Dealer
In This Commodity.
Ten miles from Bennington, Vt,
lives Lou Bishop who is something of a
celebrity in that neighborhood. He is
spruce-gum merchant and talked as
follows of his business to q correspond
emit:
II gathered 600 pounds of spruce
gum last season. I've been in the
business thirty years aud have sold a
good many tons Of gum in that time.
I've pretty near sold out my supply
this season already, and haven't morn
1000 barrels left.
20, the barrels ant big ones" he
explained, when some surprise was ex.
pressed that he should have LOCO
barrels left out of total stock of only
600 pounds. "The barrels run about
six to the pound, and l sell 'em at six
for dollar. The storekeepers Sc II
'em for IS cents apiece Then there's
another size that retails at 25 cents,
but most of 'em are six for q dollar. i"
Some sample barrels were shown,
and they proved to be small in size and
made upon a lathe, each out of a single
piece of wood.
The spruce-gum farmer pointed with
pride to the vehicle which bears him
upon his business journeys over the
country, for he is his own travelling
salesman. 1t is a two-wheeled affair
which years ago saw its best days. A
box-seat mounted upon heavy springs
was amply filed when its owner was on
the road, and the bulk of his travelling
stock in trade was contained in large
old-fashioned valise carried in suspen-
sion below the axle of the vehicle.
When on extended journeys Mr..
Bishops son forwards re-enforcements
Of barreled gum to his father by rail.
IL sell gum all through this country
and down in Massachusetts,, said the
gum-picker. my best customers are
the dealers in the factory towns. Fac
tory girls are mighty fond of gum,
judging from the demand in those
places. 1t kinder keeps their jaws busy
when they are to work, and can't talk
among themselves"
There's only one kind O. spruce
gum, though they advertise medicine
made from red spruce gum, just as if
there were blue gum or any other color.
There's no use talkin', spruce gum is
good for the stomach, an I advise
everybody to chew it. 1t don't need
any preparing. only just scraping the
bits of bark of, an then it's ready to be
sold and chewed. Spruce trees is get
tin scarcer'n they used to be, an you
have to travel good ways further'n

A Remarkable Bird.

A well-known centenarian has just
died in Paris. His name was Lenoir.
and he was one hundred and three years
old. Lenoir was parrot He was
born in the reign of Louis Seize, and
never Quilted the house where he first
saw the light, having been handed down
by will to the different owners of the
house. Lenoir was a capital talker, and
knew a number of pheases. which he
often brought out md a propos. Since
the reign of Charles x. there was a
good deal of difficulty in getting the
bird to learn any thing new. However,
servant with Radical sympathies
taught him in few weeks to say; s'Vive

with IA bias Robespierrer which he
had been accustomed to say during the
Reign of Terror. The last words of
this remarkable bird were, it appears;

VERY THIN SOIL.

| How . Queer Old Gentlemsn Managed to
Keep Lawyer ut Bay.
There was living in the edge of Way
land few years ago quaint and
somewhat original old gentleman of
the name of Adams, known to all the
neighborhood for miles around by his
harmless but sometimes amusing pc
culiarities. Gus Somerby, whose
early death few months ago deprived
the MiddIesex bar of one of its brightest
lawyers and society of one of the best
of good fellows, used to tell story
about the old gentleman which will
bear repeating.
The Squire was driving towards Way
land early one summer morning when
he discovered Mr.. Adams making his
way afield with the necessary haying.
tools-a jug and a scythe-and stopped
to have a chat with him. The soil in
that part of the country is very thin
and sandy, and the hay crop always
light, and the good-humored lawyer
took occasion to remark upon the fact
and to pity the farmers who were
obliged to wiring a scanty living from
such barren acres. The old gentleman
heard him patiently for time, but at
length broke out:
"Look here, Squire, you're wasting
your sympathy; amt SO cussed poor
as you think / AMI don't own this
farm"
Returning towards evening GUS
looked out again for the old man, and
at length discovered him crawling on
all fours between the scattered hay
cocks towards home-a method of To-
comotion rendered necessary by the
faithfulness with which he had attended
to the jug part of his outfit during the
day. Stopping his horse the lawyer
hailed the old gentleman and offered to
come over and assist him to his feet.
With as much dignity as his attitude
and general situation would permit the
fallen agriculturist waved him away
aud shouted back:
Keep of o. here! faint safe! The
soils SO thin here, now the crops of,
that it won't bear q man endways;
much as ever it'll keep me up Tat.
ways!' Record.
