We have been asked to refer to the negli
gence on the part of some farmers who per
nit the Canada thistle to grow on their
premises and that part of the public roads
passing through the same. The following
article from the Philadelphia Times on the
subject we copy for the benefit of all our
readers and we hope they will not neglect
the advice given The farmers of every
community should strictly enforce the law
of oath of April, 1885, prohibiting all cltl-
zens from allowing the Canada thistle to
90 to seed on their premises. 1t IS one
Of the most peStilential weeds OF all that
now pOlute the fields of the farmers, and II
spreads from the thriftess to the land OF
the thrifty with fearful rapidity.
The law of 1885 provides that any person
holding lands by lease or otherwise, VINO
shall allow the Canadian thistle TO go TO
seed on their premises shall be fDed fifteen
dollars, to be paid to the school fund OF the
district. ANY citizen who is likely TO be IN
jui ed by the spread of the pest from his
neighbOr's lands, may give notice to have
the weeds cut before going to seed, and II
not done, the constable or supervisor IS re-
quirrd to enter upon the premises, cut the
weeds and can compel the payment OF laoor
and costs from the holder of the polluted
lands
No average farmer OF good citizen should
require official notice from an officer TO
make lin cut the Canadian thistle before It
ripens its seed. few hours work at most
would cut 1t on any average farm, and the
holder Of any land should cut it for bis own
protection. II is destructive of all crops
when it gets rooted in fields, and its downy
seeds are waited hither aha thither TO pol
Lutte a IL neighbOring lands.
Supervisors of al public roads are also re-
quired, by the new law, to cut the Canadian
thistes on or along all roads or unseated
lands in their districts, and in case of failure,
they are liable to fine of ten dollars. to be
recovered for the use of the parties about to
be injured by such neglect or refusal The
present Is the time to destroy the Canadian
thistle pest and every occupant of land
should willingly and promptly obey the
aw."- GreeHSbUTg Democrat.

The New Postal card

\ little over a year ago the design FOR the
new postal card which is 10 use al present
was adopted. Since then a new pattern
mas been decided upon the plate for which
has been prepared at the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing. Last week it was
submitted TO the Postmaster General for
examination. He gave his opinion that the
change would be for the better and so the
order has been given to contractors to stop
the printing Of the present design Of cards.
Possibly the color o. the new card and of
the ink may also be changed As there is
stock Of about Il, ,0OC, 600 postal cards now
on hand it is probable that the new cards
will not be out for several months.

ACRILEGE.

The eloquent Barnes drew the usual large
crowd at Woodl"nd Park this afternoon.
AT the beginning u The service Charles G..
Moore brought upon the platform a negro
named John Williams, who had been blind
Tor eighteen years. md said: "Mr Barnes.
you have promised ule 80 anoint blind man
for the healing OF his blindness, promising
cure if the patient lad faith. Here is the
blind man. Ee has been Christian for
years, and claims to have plenty of faith.
Now, get out your goose grease and let us
see this miracle
The amounting was postponed until the
end of the sermon, w1en it was performed
with due solemnity. Poor Williams tried
hard to see, but he went away as blind as
he came.-COurieT-Jo rndl.
That this sacrilegious act could take
place in an enlightened age in the pres
ence OF thousands who call themselves
Christians, is shocking to the senses of
those who, on the one hand are true
Christians, and those on the other who
are sensible men, but who have not
embraced Christianity. The DEMOCRAT
spoke recently of various kinds of cranks
who claimed to possess various knowl-
edge, all gained by the aid of God, and all
aimed at the overthrow of what has been
His admitted word an teachings, for
$4,000 years. All of the class so treated
can easily be quieted by being left alone
with the fruits of their diseased magma
ton, but the class of religious mounte
banks mentioned above is of a dangerous
kind. This man Barnes claimed TO he
able to restore sight to the blind, and
several other things partaking of the
nature of the Savior's acts while on earth.
and he preached this damnable doctrine
in country where the major portion of
the people are ignorant blacks, deeply
imbued with Voudouism and kindred
superstitions, and always an easy prev 10
the schemer who goes among them with
a religious lie on his lips and a plan for
their robbery in his unmanlv and nm
christian heart One level-headed. everv-
day man called him to account, and of
course he failed. This is the upshot
in the thousands of cases wherein weak
human nature is led by its craftier fellows
TO believe in Divine powers bestowed on
human beings, and serves az an answer
to the thousands of charlatans who have
worked this scheme for fifty years past.
Since Pope Plus X proclaimed the
dogma of infallibility, millions of men
who believed in the Divine Revelations
as set forth in the Old and New Testa-
