"Just mark that d. H." said Gener-
al Manager j. w. Schrange, of the
Erie express, the other day as brought
in a package to be sent to New York.
"You see, you're dead head as a
newspaper man and it won't cost you
anything"
"That doesn't approximate to dead

another kind of an individual. You

once"
"That is the man. He was at one
time agent for the United States ex-
press company. and he used to receive
great number of personal packages,
which were, of course, free. Well, he
got so many that the clerks got tired
of writing on them, Sd. III. Colville,
Free and they would just chalk down
ID. III. Every body around the Office
knew that that meant it was for Mr.. d.
III. Col ville,a and that nothing was to be
charged. Finally all free packages
came to be marked ID. H. and at last
some smart chap translated the letters
as standing for 'deadhead.' 1t is a
very expressive term, too, isn't it 7"

Like Great Mountain Peaks.
Springfield Republican.

Senator Edmunds' speech to the YER
mont legislature was full of the digni-
ty and greatness of his position. He
had disdained to recognize any obliga-
ton to give pledge as to what atti-
tude he should take toward the repub-
lican nomination in 1888, and the State
with equal pride and no less affection
had disdained to require such pledge.
There are other respects than those of
permanence in the Senate, in which
the Vermont senators seem like great
mountain peaks in our political life.

Mr.. st. John, the prohibition orator
for revenue only, predicts that the re-

The row between the two was contiu-

not settled until after the return TO

kinds were made against Smith. He
underwent a trial at the hands Of his
priests. was artistically w~hitewaShed.
and allowed TO 20 free. The high priest
was also tried and found guilty, and in
order to hold his own in the church was
compelled to acknowledge that for
many weeks he had been possessed Of
several devils. The dog, it may be re-
marked, became too attentive to a Senti-
mel a few nights after the discussion
between prophet and priest, and re-
ceived Il shot that ended its earthly ca
reer.
Exciting times were just ahead The
people were aroused. and made prcpa-
rations to meet the invaders, Gums
were fired in almost all directions
through the night says one of the
party, land Brother Joseph did not
sleep much, if any" When within a
few miles of Liberty, Clay County, a
deputation of two from the main body
of citizens called on Smith and asked
him the meaning OF his warlike array.
On his response they very decidedly
warned him that any overt act on his
part would get himself and his follow
ers into trouble. They showed him
that the people Of several counties were
acting in concert, and that the onse-
quences of any action on the part of his
followers would be upon his W head.
The prophet saw that the time had
come to fight or back down, and that
the former course would give him
more risk and danger than he had bar
gained for. But another course would
lay him open to the charge from his
followers that he had disobeyed the
heavenly orders under which they had
come forth. He wriggled out of the
usual small end of the horn. He had
an annex to his first revelation,
soon after the ~deputation left, which
declared that they had been tried
even as Abraham was tried, and the
offering was accepted by the Lord; and
when Abraham received his reward
they would receive theirs In short,

Such as could get home and wished to,
departed again for the East, but the
main body remained and became after
ward a part Of Nauvoo. Each received
a formal discharge from General Wight,
and that was all he did receive from
Smith or any one else. Not a cent of
the money that had been given the
prophet as treasurer ever saw its way
back to the pockets of the men who
gave it.
On July 9 Smith and a few of his i'm
mediate chums started back for Kirt-

HAVE A GARDEN,


An Enjoyment Which No Farmer should
Deny Himself.
Farmers of all classes should enjoy
the Injuries of a garden, vet the ma.
jority of them do not grow enough
fruit and vegetables for a table supply,
and in some sections they buy them
from the cities. They can not buy as
well as they can produce. There is
quite a difference between fresh vcgeta-
bles from the garden and those
handled, bruised and shipped to dis
tances. The farmer who is satisfied to
sit down to his table with pork and
beans as an every day diet simply de-
MES himself the enioyments which his
calling allows him. As the busy sea-
son of spring sets in, the farmers are
usually too engrossed to give their at
tention to so small a matter as a garden,
but we can assure them that, insignif-
cant as a garden may seem, it con-
tains more that adds to the enjoyment
OF life on the farm than any thing else
produced upon it. The gardenless
farmer knows nothing of delicacics.
He a%tisiies himself with very little,
and 9 npcls his family to do the same,
yet is surprised when his children seek
occupation in the city where they find
more enjoyment and live upon a va
riety of food. The farmer has an adj
vantage over his city brother for en-
joying luxuries. The strawberry, rasp-
berry and all the varieties Of fruits
may be placed upon his table daily If
he will have them, but he overlooks
those things that are within his prov
incr' and allows others to enjoy what
ne should have in abundance. Farmers.
dc not overlook the garden. Devote a
space to the garden even If some
other crop must be sacrifced.-Farm,
Field and Stockman.

TRAMPS'

reporter: I've know how all decent

Hall is a small restaurant, if in can b6

scription: 'Small Delmonico,2 There

Mr.. Barnabo is an adiposc Italian Of
an oleaginouS nature, something in the
way of a cross between Mr.. Wardle's
fat boy and Uriah Heep. He fairly

presses a casual visitor with the idea
that he is ready at any moment to

the traditional and rcpugnant Italian
fashion. A curious crowd was par
taking of Mr., Barbados cheer. There
were two blind mendicants and two
blcar-eyed women who shared their
spoils, a cripple who hobbies out ON
the stumps OF his legs, an organ
grinder who had deposited his instru-
ment under the table at which he sat.
and Il vagabond dressed in soldiers

the general public as a broken-down
veteran who lost his arm at Fredericks-

commonest kind and the spoons of
pewter, ut does not pay to have ex-
pensive articles here said Detective
Carr, with an explanatory smile; 'the
customers might be tempted to leave
the house and take them with them"
Mr.. Barnabo proudly exhibited to the
reporter his bill of fare and price list.

4 little girl,
With hair a-curl,
Came tripping Down the lane;
The violets sweet
Beneath her feet,
All wished their name were Jane,
The rosesred.
That touched her head,
As she tripped down the lane,
Dropped all their leaves,
In hlushing sheaves,
Because they envied Jane.
The pretty birds,
In natures words,
Sang in the leaty lane,
Their morning song,
With some notes wrong.
For watching little Jane.
The lofty trees
Bent in the breeze,
Which swept across the lane.
And curtsied low,
With stately show,
To merry, little Jane

With archway high
