Arbitration the Thing.

Editor Exchange:
There is one principle of the Agri
cultural Wheel, if strictly enforced
will, to great extent, lessen the civil
cases that have been heretofore adiu.
dictated by our law courts. The
Wheel proposes to arbitrate all differ
ences among its members and save to
the taxpayers the cost of so many
frivolous suits. 1t does not argue
favorbly for our civilization to be al,
ways having one with another. Tin.
genders strife and bad blood, to say
nothing of the cost and of time. 1t
is an old saying that, "gainers are
losers at law" but whether the say.
ing true or not, 1t would lie much bets
ter for us, as people, to leave the
settlement of our differences to our
neighbors. If we go to law, one with
another, who is it that settles for us?
1t is generally jury of twelve men,
and not always Of the clearest heads
to settle anything. The parties liti-
eating and their witnesses are sub
jects as rule to be handled roughly
by the attorneys, who ought to he
more dignifed in conducting trial in
court of justice. Better have no
suits. Settle your differences and sa We
your money in the manner tie
Wheel proposes. In SO doing, you
will sci all example worthy of a chris
tiau age and a higher state of civil.
zation than has marked the history
Of our country for years past.

He Beat the Mud,

About four miles out of Birniu CLAN.
Ala. we came across stretch of road
about four miles long which was foot
deep with red clay mud. We had to
ride our horses along the edge of it,
and then it was job to pull through.
Or the far side, about fifty feet from
the solid road-bed, we came upon q
colored man with his mule and cart,
the latter loaded with wood and stuck
fast in the mud. The man was seated
by the road side. while the old mule
was chewing away at heap of brush
and grass which had been cast before
him.
''Stuck:?" asked one of the party as
we drew rein.
"Reckon so," was the reply.
"How long you been here?"
'.Since yesterday
why don't you unload and get out?"

A Story About Maud s.

Mr.. Hill, of the Chicago National
Humane Socity, tells the following
story: when George Stone, of Gin
cinnati. found that Kentucky mare
which he had purchased was very
speedy animal he hired man to train
her. The man was cruel to the mare,
and he made but little Roadway in de-
veloping her speed. She became OBJ
stinate and ugly, and not only refused
to work right of the suiky, but was
vicious in her stable. Luckily this
laundering. cruel trainer was discharg-
ed and William Bair employed in his
stead.
"Bair at once reversed the tactics of
his predecessor, and began to treat the
mare with kindness. She quickly re-
sponded with better behavior. and in o
short time became affectionatc and
obedient. Whereas her former master
was afraid to go into the stall unless
she was securely tied. Bair taught her
to pick apples out of his coat pocket.
AS soon as man and beast had estab-
lished these pleasant relations good re-
suits began to appear. The mares
speed developed rapidly, and she was
soon able to make the famous record
of 2:104. A year or so more of cruel
treatment and Maud S. would have
been ruined. .-Cincisndti Sun.

A Home in the Mountains.

The ordinary house in Kentucky is
log one, consisting of TWO rooms, with
boards shaved smooth with draw
knife, or split, nailed over the cracks
between the logs. One of the rooms is
used for sleeping-room. and the other
is the living room. dining-room, kitch-
en-, and parlor, all in one, in which the
family stay during the day time. There
but one sleeping-room for whole
family, and when they have guests WIS.,
iting them these turn in and sleep in
the same room. There are number
of beds used. and stranger always
gets the best bed. They, are very
modest with it all. They turn their
backs if they are up while the others
of the family are undressing, or if they
are in bed they will cover up their
heads until you have completed your
nightly toilet 1t is the custom, you
know, and think our people are noted
for their large proportion of virtuous
women. Virtue is as much respected
in the mountains as anywhere else in
the world, and though these women
and cien will undress together and sleep
in the same room they will be Mortified
at the exhibition of decollete dresses
seen at one of your receptions here,
and would run away with shame from

These mountaineers are very hos
pitable. They entertain you and give
you the best they have, and if you offer
to pay they will refuse and say they do
not make their money that wav The
little money they do make comes from
farming. They do not often grow
wealthy, and they seem to be very well
satisfied with their life. You have
heard of the feuds of the mountaineers.

THE RICHEST WOMAN.
She Lives in South America, and is a
Kind OF Queen.

She Lives In South America, and Is
Kind or Queen.
l Inotice an interesting paragraph in
an English journal which informs us
that Leith firm has just completed a
handsome screw steam launch, which
has been built to the order of Mrs,
Couseno, a South American lady, who
is reported to be the richest woman in
the world. The launch, which is built
of steel, is twenty-five feet in length,
and is to be employed as a tender to
her large yacht. (The large yacht is
employed at present in the unpretend-
ing but profitable trade of carrying
Goals from Lota to Valpariso) 1t is
elaboratcly fitted up in polished ma
hogany, and is to be dispatched forth
with by one of the mail steamers from
Liverpool for conveyance to Chill.
Besides being the richest lady in the
world she also enjoys the singular
privilege of being empress over tract
of territory called Lota, which lies
some POO or 500 miles 10 the south of
the port. 1t may seem strange to
speak of an empress in the heart of a
free republic; but nevertheless the
fact exists, and SO absolute are her
majesty's powers that there are few of
her subjects who would be resolute
and courageous enough to claim the
possession of their own immortal
souls, or who would not be prepared
to deny that on tho making of the
place special arrangement was made
with reference to coal deposits between
the Divinity and the reigning monarch.
Dnring her absence the Government
is carried on much as it is in Ireland.
by means of Viceroy. with this excep-
ton. that while the Irish are not un-
frequently rebellious and troublesome
and actually lay claim to the right of
having a slight say in their destinies.
either in this world or in that which is
to come, such q supernatural effort
never enters the simple and uncom-
planning minds of the population of
this remarkable portion of Gods foot
stool. And why should it be otherwisep
The Viceroy, or boss Pasha, and his
court has been so long accustomed to
licking and cleaning the boots of their
mistress and passing along their own
in turn to their subordinates, who per-
form a similar but humber task and
keep the ball always rolling downward,
that it would be at once a dangerous
and unkindly action to persuade themn
that they are featherless bipeds and not
officiating automatons.

replied:
