Fraudulent Notes.

Farm and Fireside.
A Tennessee subscriber to Farm
and Fireside asks:
fla farmer signs his name to a note
unknowingly, and can prove hat the
signature was obtained fraudluently
will he have to pay the note if it is
held by an innocentparty?
To which we answer, yes and a
more fragrant instance Of the pever-
sion ofjustice it would be difficult to
find. 1t is said that this interpreta-
ton of the law depends simply upon
the decision of some Dogberry of
Judge, who held that the "innOcent'
purchaser of a note obtained by fraud
must be protected at any cost. This
"innocent" purchaser is in most cases
a professional note broker, who has
the best ofopportunities for ascertain.

Two 1886 Gold Medals.

Messrs. Mason & Hamlin again
have the distinguished honor Of hav-
ing been awarded the highest gold
medal over all exhibitors, American
and European, both at Liverpool and
Edinburgh, the two most important
exhibitions of the year 1886. Since
the first great Paris exhibition of
1867, the Mason & Hamlin Organs
have invariably received the highest
honors at all great worlds exhibit
tons. The new mode of piano con-
struction, invented and introduced
by Mason & Hamlin in 1882, is no
longer an experiment but an assured
success, tested and proved, many of
the best judges having pronounced it
"the greatest improvement in pianos
of the country" BY it musical tones
of remarkable brightest and purity
are obtained, and tuning is required
less than one-quarter as often as in
the old system. An illustrated cata-
logue, fully explaining the improve
ments, will be sent free to any
address.

While magazines and papers are
full of expensive devices for orna-
menting winter houses, there is a
dearth of instruction in regard to
cheap things that are pretty as well
as inexpensive. Flowers in winter
are grateful to the sight, yet many
have not the room or time to devote
to them. Nearly everybody has the
seed of the morning-glory, and this
simple vine can be made to climb
about the framework of any sunny
window, and with little care will
prove a joy thewhole winter through.
Nail a small wooden bracket on
either side of south window, least
or west will do), and on each bracket
place a pot that will hold a pint OIL
more of earth. Plant three or -four
morning-glory seeds in each pot
keep the soil moist, and give support
to the vines as soon as they begin tC
climb. Any other climber may be
substituted, but the morning-glory
requires the least care of any, and is
almost certain to succeed.

Precaution Against Fire.

Last night we were aroused by
cry of "Fire! fret" and hurried to the
window, to see neighbors house in
flames. Inquiry was made later as
to its origin, and we were told that it
probably caught from an old box
standing near the wood-shed, into
which ashes were thrown. 1t ought
to be made an offence against the law
to store ashes in any wooden receipt
acle, unless it is kept entirely away
from any building or anything else
infiammable. 1t is a most excellent
plan to have box for ashes lined
with tin or sheet-iron, and when this
precaution is taken we would never
have it placed in or near the house.
No stove-pipe ought ever to pass
through a floor or partition unless
through a "thimble" or cylinder of
tin, with holes in the ends of it for
the free passage OF air.
Chimneys ought to be examined
frequently to make sure that there
are no cracks in them, 1t is an ex-
cellent plan to have the chimney SO
constructed that it is never concealed
by the walls of a room, thus prevent
ing a thorough examination of it. A
house often settles, and this cracks
the chimney, but the crack is hidden.

notes are obtained in a multitude of
ways. A sleek "agent" comes along
and offers a farmer the privilege of
trying some piece of machinery, ifthe
farmer will but sign his name to
piece fpaper to serve as an address /;
or pretended state functuary is COL
Letting agricultural statistics, to which
he asks the farmer to sign his name
as an assurance of their correctness !;
or fellow comes into a neighbor-
hood very anxious to buy farm, and
gets the farmers name to an agree
ment to sell-these are a few of the
traps; but in all cases the farmers
signature comes back to him at the
bottem of promisSory note calling
for some hundreds or thousands of
dollars. If we are not mistaken, the
credit of originating this amusing lit
tie game belongsto the lightning-rod
fraternity, at any rate, they were
among the first to turn it to account.
Now we repeat, that when an i'm
perative demand is sent up to our
legislative halls, calling for common
sense legislation on this point, that
demand will be heard but so long as
farmers hold their peace, just SO long
will they be plucked and shorn by
oily-tongued Williams.

Washington Letter.

The question of vital interest now
to the Republican Senators is whether
the Nebraska legislature will return
Senator Van Wyck or some more re-
liable brother. During the last ses-
sion whenever "crazy horse" Van
Wyck as he was sometimes called,
arose to ask the consideration of a
resolution which was inimical to any
fat corporation, or went against any
old abuse, there was a good deal of
laughing and winking on the sofas in
the rear of the chamber.
In like manner Senator Riddleber-
ger always seemed to succeedin max
ing himself ridiculous. When he In
sisted on hearing in opposition to
executive sessions of the Senate, he
was invariably out of order; yet
whenever he made the same point of
order on another Senator, it so hap
pened that the point which was good
as against him was not goodasagainst
others.
Now itappears that thestone which
the builders rejected has become the
the head of the corner. These two
Senators who were objects Of ridicule
and irritation to the Republican
brotherhood, hold thebalance of pow
er between the two parties in the
Senate. They were never in harmo-
ny with their party and could never
be relied upon when vote was call
ed. So, as they are not Republicans
in good and regular standing, the
Senate is not Republican, and there
is fun ahead. The Senate stands thus:
81 Democrats, 81 Republicans, and
the balance of power party, COM
posed of Senators Van Wyck and
Riddleberger. 1t is quite certain
these gentlemen will be very gra-
ciously treated this winter by Repub-
lican Senators, although the Phila-
delphia Press said it might be better
to have the Senate Democratic than
to have it Republican by the aid of
such men.
The suggestion that Mr.. Carlisle is
disqualified for the Speakership in
the Fifthieth Congress because his
opponent will contest his election, is
considered practically absurd by such
able and experienced parliamentary
ans as for instance, Congressman
Welborn, of Texas. The further
question of the propriety of his ap
' pointing the committee which is t.
