LAWSUITS AMONG FARMERS

Rushing into lawsuits has done it's
share to bankrupt many excellent
men, and even the firmest friends
have broken the ties of brotherly
kindness, over some fancied wrong
that could easily be satisfactorily
arranged by a proper spirit on the
part Of the contestants. The old
story of farmers mortgaging their
farms in order to gain a suit in
which only a S. calf was the object
is illustrative of much that actually
occurs in everyday life. Perhaps
the most common cause of difficulty
is the line fence. From Maine to
the Gulf, and from the Eastern coasts
to California, the line fence has been
a standing menace and monument
Of controversy. 1t has done more
damage than benefit. The loss it
has entailed to some farmers is ten
times greater than the stock en-
closed by it, and the records show
that where the "no fence" law has
been in operation the cases of dis
putes between farmers, in the courts,
have largely diminished. But there
are lawsuits over hundreds Of trivial
matters. The water courses, roads,
rights Of way, trees and other mat
tiers often bring the farmers into
court even during the busiest sea-
sons. Farmers have had the advan-
tages Of arbitration placed before
them repeatedly, but as there have
been no laws passed rendering such
action legal and binding, but few
persons avail themselves of it's priv
ileges. All that is necessary is for
each State to pass a law covering
such cases, under which disputants
may submit their cases to a selected
number of disinterested parties, the
disputants agreeing to abide by the
decisions, and special books be kept
in the county clerks Offices in which
such decisions may be recorded.
Such method would make the settle
ment of a dispute an easy matter.
The work could be done very
quickly, the expenses would be
much less than when carried to
court, and we venture to claim that
justice would prevail more. evenly
than when the greedy lawyers have
taken hold of, the difficulty and
squeezed blood money from both
participants, Arbitration does not
prevent the employment of counsel,
nor does it vary from the ordinary
usages Of the courts, but it takes
hold Of the difficulty and adjusts it
at once, and at much less cost than
in any other manner. We would
advise every farmer to avoid dis
putes, and, above all, keep out OF
the courts. IF your neighbor is dis,
satisfied go to him and propose to
submit the matter to arbitration.
Even make a concession sooner, than,

WHEN PIGS GAIN FASTEST.

The rule that young animals gain
more rapidly in proportion to the
food consumed has an aiappa1e 1T
exception in young pigs. H9As soon
as old enough to be fed they are
given a diet SO -pientffui and rich
that their weak digestive organs are
heavily overtasked. This IS espec-
tally true where corn is the staple
feed, as it in large sections of the
country. Corn as a main feed,

The green grocer's was a roomy shop,
always de%liciously fragrant, redolent OF
herbs and some spices and presided over
by n good humored man and his wife,
who had n very distinct owe of their call
ing. Mrs. B. cultivated certain vege
tables in her strip of garden back of the
shop, and being the very first person in
town to display punches of primroses OF

served in Mr.. B. was the difference
in his manner when you bought his pota
toes or greens, and when, in his second
calling Of waiter, he handed you your
SOU or pudding at the small winter din
ner parties given in town.
In the shop he was affably discursive,
touching the onions or greens with a care
less hand n a free, light-hearted man
ner. At a dinner table he was curiously
solemn, and occasionally looked as
though he defied any one present to sug-
gest that his mann hung over n shop In
the High street. The fact that he sold
you potatoes for twopence a pound was
never to be c~onfounded with the other
more imposing fact that for 5 shillings NJ
evening, attired in an irreproachable cos
tune, he waited on select dinner parties
among the smaller gentry Of the place.
When the real spring began TO show
itself the little grocery had an inexhaust-
ible fascination for me. The garden was
80 spontaneously gay and iourishine
and its one bit OF warm southern wall Sc
early stood hung with blossoms, and b

The fortunes or misfortunes of war,
or the treachery of Mexican soldiery, have
removed from the army of the United
States one of the bravest, most gallant
and exemplary young officers, Capt. EN-
met Crawford, of the Ord cavalry. He
has been Gen. Crooks chief lieutenant in
the campaign against the Apaches, and
has fought under that officers command
in the various campaigns against the
C%heyennes and Sioux in this military de-
partmont. He was formerly stationed at
Fort ID. A. Russell and several other posts
in this vicinity, and during his residence
in Wyoming made a host of friends among
our people, all of whom admired him for
his gentlemanly bearing, genial character
and the qualities of a thorough soldier
which he possessed in an eminent degree.
His death is the source of sincere sorrow
to his friends in this city, and especially
to those who in former years were ASSOC
ciated with him in the mystic brother
hood of which he was a consistent and de-
voted member
Emmett Crawford joined the army ut
the beginning Of the late war as private
in II company, list regiment Pennsyl-
vania volunteers, serving with his regi-
ment until 1865, when he was honorably
discharged. lie was appointed to be a
lieutenant in the regular army in &c, and
assigned to the Sd cavalry in II. He at
iained the captaincy Of troop G on March
20, 1879, when his old captain, Dean
Monahan. was retired from active service.
Capt. Crawford was one Of Crook favor
lite officers, and he was often chosen by
the general for important duties which re-
quired sagacity, courage and discretion.
His death will be greatly deplored by his
old commander and by all his comrades in
the army.

WOMEN AT WORK.

Woman's work, that fertile theme for
"woman's rights women" receives much
notice in the annual report of the New
York state bureau OF statistics of labor.
The commissioner estimates that there are
to-day 100000 women employed in differ.
ent trades in the two cities of New York
and Brooklyn alone.
This is about two-inhs of one per cent
Of the total population of the country,
and is over eleven per cent Of the popu-
lation of the two cities, In 1880 the total
number of working women in the country
was four and three quarters per sent of
the total population, while the per cent
age of w%orkingmcn was only thirty. four.
The proportion of women workers in
New York aud Brooklyn is evidently in
crcasing. The Song of the Shirt" is
no longer the only story Of labor that the
women have 10 tell Not only have their
numbers increased, but they are gradually
invading the fields of work which have
heretofore been pre-empted by men. II

Among the relics of the late war
slowed away in the United States Ord
nance museum, on Seventeenth street, is
n sabre fully five feet long, which vas
found on the battle field Of Manassas.
This formidable looking weapon was ev-
identity made in some village black
smiths shop, from the tabled plough
share, at the outbreak of the war, and
its handle appears TO have been carved
with a jack knife from n cows horn.
A Virginian who visited the museum
last week recognized the sabre as one
that had been used by a giant Virginia
cavalryman in "Jeb" stuart's command.
~The cavalryman in question said the
Virginian, "was nearly seven feet high
and broad In proportion. He had that
big sabre made by a crossroads horse
sheer and promised TO hew his way

POWER OF MEMORY.
a Faculty Which Is Shown to be
Practically Unlimited In it's
Operations.

A Faculty Which is Shown to be
Practically Unlimited In it's
Operations.
The following case given by DR.. John
Abercrombie, much abbreviated for
want OF space, shows most strikingly,
says tho Contemporary Review, that
memory is q power unlimited in its
operations, and that IN its unconscious
workings it is most vigorous and over
mastering where its subjects are least
cultured and nearest the condition OF
the animal world: A girl of seven
years, employed in tending cattle,
slept in an apartment next to one &C.
cupied by an itinerant fiddler, a
musician of considerable skill, who
frequently spent the night in perform
ing pieces of d refined description. She
fell i'll, was taken care of by a lady,
and e"entually became her servant.
Some years elapsed, and the family
were often surprised to hear music
during the night. At length the
sound was traced to the sleeping
room Of the girl, who, fast
asleep, was ~warbling in q manner ex-
actly resembling the sweetest tones Of
a small violin. II was found that after
being two hours in bod she became
restless and began to mutter to her
self; then, uttering noises resembling
the tuning OF a violin, she dashed off,
after somo prelude, into elaborate
pieces OF music, which she performed
in a Clear and accurate A
year or two passed away, and she be-
gan to vary her performance by imi-
tating the sounds of an old piano in
the house, the singing Of the inmates,
and further on she began to discourse
on a variety Of topics. The business
and truth Of her remarks on all sub
ject excited the utmost establishment
in those who were acquainted with her
limited means of acquiring informa-
ton. She was known TO conjugate
correctly Latin verbs and to speak sew
eral sentences in French. During her
paroxysms it was almost impossible to
wake her, and when her eyelids were
| raised and a candle brought near the eye
she seemed insensible to light. About
sixteen she began to observe those who
were in the apartment, and answered
questions pnt to her with astonishing
acuteness. This affection went on for
ten or eleven years. She was, when
awake. a dull, awkward girl, slow in
receiving any kind of instruction, with
out any turn for music, or apparently
any recollection of what passed in her
sleep. At the age of twentv-one she
became immoral and was dismissed.
1t is believed that she afterwards be-
came insane. DR.. Moffatt re-
lates that after preaching a sermon on
Eternity" to some Africans he heard
a simpie-looking young man repeat it
all over again to a group Of natives
with uncommon precision, the very
gestures being reproduced. On telling
him that he had done more than the
original preacher could do-repeat the
sermon verbatim-the savage touched
his forehead and said: when l hear
anything great it remains there"
