A farmer of Washington Terri-
tory, loaned his dog to man on
Snake River, to whom he had sold
a Aock of sheep, to drive home, u
distance Of thirty miles. The drov-
er found the dog 50 useful that,
instead Of sending bin home, he
locked him up. Tie dog escaped,
and, concluding the drover bad no
more right to keep the sheep than
to lock him up, he collected all that
had belonged to his master aud
drove them home again.

The most disastrous fire Phila.
dslphia has known since the great
Water Street condagration quarter
OF century ago occurred early
Sunday morning. IL broke out iu
the very helrt OF the Konsingtou
manufacturing district, at Taylor
and Coral Streets. Sprelling ra-
pidly, it destroyed two blocks Of
buildings aud laid seven large mans
ufacturing establishments in ruins,
The loss will probably exceed 81,
100000 and about 1910 hands are
thrown out of employment. The
mills were surrounded on all sidss
by dwelling houses aud the falling
walls narrowly missed crushing the
homes of many of the operatives

hood ofthe fire hastily removed theil
household goods, fearing a spread
Of the fire, and tho greatest excite>

The Philadelphia Times remarks {:
Nincteuths Of the evils which impair
the foundations Of manhood in chi-
dreu, are the logical result of giving
children money that they do not
earn. They are not only brought
MP in idleness, which is the frightful
parent of vice, but they are given
money freely, without knowing its
value, to tempt them into any OF
countless ways of wasting health by
Indulgence. If boys were taught
to earn money before they spent it,
they would not be likely to watse it
aud their health together by indul-
gence in what is now one of the
most dangerous indulgences Of boys
the smoking of cigarettes. No
boy will ever reach vigorous phys
ical or intellectual manhood who
snaps the strength Of childhood by
cigarettes.

FARMERS AND A TARlTT.

There is probably no class Of orr
people moro interested ia the build
ing up of American industries, and
through them of home market for
American productions, than the til.
lers OF the soil. II is only by hav-
ing pear home market that the
perishable productions Of the farm,
such as vegetables, &c, can be cul-
tivated with profit aud recent de.
velopments show that grain raisers
must soon depend on consumers in
our own country for q market for
their grain. England has been ex-
pending large amount Of money
or it's possessions India in building
railroads, encouraging agricultural
indur,ry, &C., until now India puts
wheat in England cheaper than
America can do and Russia does
the came. These countries are
adapted to wheat raising and in
addition to the natural advantages,
labor is SO cheap there as to forbid
competition from our side Of the
water. Farm labor in this country
is hard to get, and the difficulty is
yearly growing. Our facilities for
education do not enhance the dispo-
sitiop of our young men to work in
the fields y and farmers in this
country would be unable to conduct
their farm work at oil were it not
for the help they receive from i'm,
proved machinery.
1t has been suggestive existing
fact for some time past that wheat
was cheaper in Liverpool than 10
New York, which fact rendered expor-
tation Of wheat out of tue question
1t therefore, takes no learned polit-
ical economist, dealing in abstruse
theories, to determine that the
hope of the future to the American
farmer is in home market to come
from manufacturing industries

The report Of State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction Higbee
shows satisfactory advance in our
public schools, the average term OF
obstruction being now somewhat in

districts in which the term is still

be widely published, that the small

PROPHETIC. Ic.PoLITIcs.

There is much harmless specula-
tion among our esteemed contem-
porarics about President Clevoland's
wishes aud prospects as to getting
another term Some are sure that
he wants it, others equally gu no that
he does not want it, aud still others
inform him rather impertinently
that, whether he wants it or not, il
is not written in the book OF fate
that he can have it.
1t is tho way Of Presidents, even
before they are we'll settled 10 their
seats, to ponder how they may climb
up again, and there are always plen-
ty of sincere friends and accommo-
dating admirers ready to persuade
them, il any persusion they need,
that their denomination is az easy
as lying and as sure aJ death. Yet
there have been Presidents who
have not been renominated, aud
there will be more aud Mr.. Cleve-
land is not easily persuaded. That
be bothers bis head much about the
matter may we'll be doubted. He
is too busy to have much time for
useless speculation aud, besides,
he has reason to be a fatalist in pol-
itics, and TO believe that whatever
more, il any more, is to come to
him, will come without any trouble
on his part beyond showing reason
able favor to his personal friends
aud reasonable disfavor to those
who have opposed him.
AS for the Democrats who thu
early in his first term are giving
themselves uueasiness about hi
second, it would be much more
profitable for them to accomnodat,
themselves to tho solid and palpablC
fact that he is now President of tn,
United States, and without proxies
or assistants. He is boss of his
Administration, and everything in
his character and his antecedents
indicates that he will keep on in hi'
own way as long as it lasts. He
may or may not want secont
term, but he has got the first one
and he will use it industriously,
conscientiously, stubbornly, not al
ways wisely, not always as the Dem
ocracy would like, not always fol
the good of The emocracy, hut al
ways according to his own notions
These notions were perfectly wei
known when he was nominated an,
elected, and nobody has any righ
to complain Of them now.

10 France for strapgliug her baby
and at the preliminary e1amipa-
tien she confessed her crime. At
the trial medical evidence was hoard,
and tho doctor told the Judge he
did not believe tho woman was the
culprit. The Gnger marks wore
fresh on tho victims throat when
he made bis examination, and the
marks we're singular. lie examined
the woman's hands aud found her
fingers long. slender, aud well
shaped. but tho marks were Of a
short-fnsered hand, stumpy aud
misshapen, and one OF the fingers
tho first, was abnormally short. On
this the prisoner burst into tears

not destroyed it, and mentioned in

was man of better class of life

Some Of our country papers have
received the Information from som Q
source that l. lat Indian wheat can
be put in the English market at
sixty cents per bushel. OF CD urse
the Information must coma through
tho medium OF the reformers, who
wish to scare the American agricul-
turists into demanding the repeal of
our protective tariff, lest the Eng-
lish refnss to buy our wheat We
think it is a matter OF small moment
to our farmers what the English
give for their wheat, since the total
exports of our breadstuffs do not
amount to ten per cent. OF our
crops on an average in any ten
years, while our own consumption
is ninety per cent, the bulk of it
taken by our manufacturing popula.
ton. But suppose our agri.
cultural population undertake to
CO ntest for the foreign market, with
sixty cent. East Indian wheat, and
as a means to win, throw their in.
huence against and secure the re1
peal Of protection to oar manufac,
turers-what will be their position
They will reduce our power Of con.
sumption, say, fifty per cent. by
filing our markets with foreign
manufactures, aud increase their
sales to foreign markets thirty pei
cent, becoming dependent upon
the foreigner for the price they get.
What will be their margin OF profit
on the transaction after their policy
has driven ffty per cent. Of our
manufacturing population into az.
riculture for tho means Of living
Let the farmers put on their spec
tacles. take their pencils and figure
on it awhile, aud see how the sun,
comes out.
