of the article, was merely a matter of
business. As a lawyer he prosecuted the
case. and simply did his duty to his

Baltimore American: Over the tomb of
the late Bishop Ode1heimer at Burling-
ton, N. j., there movers nightly a bright
light, which is so much of phenomenon
as to create much discussion and excite
ment among the people of Burlington.
The bishops tomb is of gray polished
granite, and is located near tho vestry
door of old st. Mary's church, the cathe.
dral of the diocese of New Jersey, of
which Rev. DIR. Hills the dean of the con-
vocation of Burlington, is the rector. A
bishops inter is carved on the top OF the
massive stone, and on the place which
old Sexton Prickett points out rs being
the resting place of the sanity bishops
head appear nightly the luminous flame,
that at times resembles the light from II
lantern and on other occasions is so radi-
ant that it looks like halo such as the
old masters have painted around the
heads of their canOnized saints.
Since the strange apparition was first
observed, week ago, crowds OF people
have visited old St Mary's graveyard ut
night. The light can be seen for II con-
siderable distance; but if one has nerve
enough TO walk through the ich-gate
and approach the tomb, nothing can be
found to explain the cause OF the strange
flicker, as when a near approach to the
tomb is made nothing can be seen. All
the ground in the vicinity is high and en-
tirely too dry to admit of any possibility
OF Ignis-tatuus or false fire. Only few
have, so far, had courage enough to ap-
proach to the tomb after dark, but humid
reds have contemplated the light from
the sidewalk.
Bishop Odenheimer was man de-
voted to good deeds, and was the father
of many of the Episcopal churches in the
diocese of New Jersey. Those of fer
vent religious temperament ascribe the
phenomenon to divine communication
and regard the Illuminated tomb as lat
ter day miracle.

THE REFORM RECORD.

What Has Been Accomplished Since the
Democracy Commenced to Get into
Power.
In the course of the debate on the re-
vision of the rules. the Hon Samuel J.
Randall said: ''Since the House has
been under Democratic control there
has not been an acre Of land or dol
lar of subsidy appropriated. This is
true to the letter and line. When the
Democracy, after years of exclusion
from power. obtained. during the sec
ond administration of General Grant.
the control of the House of Represent
ativeS. every department of the Gov
eminent was reeking with corruption.
Robson ruled the Navy. and the plum
derers in that branch of the service
were supreme. Bolknap was at the
head of the War Department, and the
swinliers vino had fastened themselves
there were rObbing right and lett. The
S.ar-Route thieves were pillaging the
Post-Ollice. The land-stealing corpora
tons had full swing in the Interior De-
partment. The whisky men were
tapping the Treasury. On every hand
were to be found bribery. fraud and
general rascality. The accession of the
Democracy to the contIo. OF the House
OF Representative brought the long de-
bauch of corruption to an end.
As Mr.. Randall said: Not an acre
of land or q dollar of subsidy was ap-
propriated.n The Republican partv
gave to corporations like the Pacific
Railroad companies territories almost
as large as some OF the European
States. 1t gave the same corporations
subsidies amounting to the revenues
Of European mOnarchs. In al history
no parallel can be found to the carni-
val of Republican corruption that set
III during the period Immediately follow
ing the war era. When Samuel J. RAN
dali raped the last session CT the
Forty Congress to order as
Speaker the Republican raids on the
Treasury came to an end. In the
Forty-lifth and Forty-sixth Congresses
the splendid record of Democratic
economy and honesty which he was so
instrumental in inauguFating was con-
tinued, and the victories that have
since followed the party in nearly
every State in the Union were made
possible. To-day only q few votes in
the Senate stand between the Democ-
racy and the complete control Of the
Government. 1t would be the suprem-
est folly to reverse or abandon policy
which has accomplished so much in Sc
short time.-M Y. World.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

One greatimprovement our farmers
have made in the last ten years is in
growing less number of acres of grain
and cultivating it better. - Ohio

-Squasnes keep best in dry, rather
warm place: cellar with furnace is
a good place. or shelf in a kitchen
closet near the chimney.-IndtanapOIis
Sentinel.
Corn should not be the main diet of
the farmhouse, its effect being to fatten
at the expense of the muscular develop
ment Corn-fed horses have to carry
too heavy load of fat to do their best
as work animals. Oats form the ideal
working diet for the horse.-M z. En-
dminer.
The summer and its labors are over
and now comes the welcome season of
rest and recuperatiOn for both the soil
and its cultivator. Though storms may
prevail the sunshine of peace and hap
piness ought to pervade and enliven
every progressive farmers freside.-

Don't sign your name to a paper
claiming to give the yield per acre of
your farm or the total of your farm
products "to guarantee the statements
made are true" When you see the
statement next it will be promissory
note, which you will have to pay
Clio Star.
Make calculations on the amount of
forage you have or intend to buy, and
keep no more stock than it will suffice
to winter, and do so well. Feed the
poorest first, and necessary add little
meal to it as we'll as roots. Reserve the
choicest food for the coolest weather.
