Wesre of the opinion that the Tobacco
Crop OF 1887 is now and has been bringing
better prices than any herstofore and has
paid the farmer better. The reason is ap-
parent. The crop Of 1887 was o. much less
acreage, therefore less Fertilizers were
bough!, and the farmers worked their crops
better aud made much better article.
hence the remunerative prices obtained. As
We said last week the indications point 10 a

The latest number in Ticknor's sd- mirable Paper Series Is "Fortune's Fool" by Julian Hawthorne, work equally distinguished for fine percep- tion, delicate analysis and mnsteriy combination. A powerful novel, des- tined to be ranked as classic. As s. JameS Gazette says: "There is sug- gestion of depth and intensity about it which is rare in modern fiction, and an hereditary instinct for dealing with the lights and shadows of the moral nature" Another British critic re- marks that MT. Hawthorne has q more powerful imagination than any contemporary writer of fiction. In 'Fortune's Foop this imagination shows best in his landscapes, in his de- scriptions of New England forests and in the description he gives of the Sacramento valley" There are many shrewd and concentrated sayings ir this remarkable book. And there art many pieces of fresh and vivid descrip- tions in which Mr. Hawthorne even surpasses anything he has done of the kind before. The book is equally worthy of the Hawthorne name, and of Its place in this remarkable series of novels.

Finding the Money .
N.-Asa. .,a

One of the judicial customs of Rus sia In the first part of our century was, according 10 Alexander Verest- chagin's "At Home In the War" s sy stem Of corporal pnnishment le. galiy administered. For example If a landed proprietor found it necessary to punish his servants or peasants, he sent the culprit with n note to the district judge, and the matter was at- tended to forthwith. A seri having arrived from distance io pay the yearly sum of money due from him and his fellows, declares that they can pay only small proportion of it. The judge speedily appears.
 Who are youI The Olkhof over seer2' hc asks, thrcatenlngly, when left alone with the serf.
 "Exsctly so, my beneiactor," replies tbe latter, dolefully, and bows to the judges belt.
 You will be pleased to pay the money at once, or you will be thrashed on the spot"
 "Dcar sir, have mercy" howls the peasant, and falls at his feet. "As you please, dear sir, but there Is no more moBey."
 "Hey, there, policeman !" shouts the judge, opening door. The police man makes his appearance. "Where's the porter2 Drag him up- stairs F and he points to the overseer, who Is still wallowing about at his feet

 "Weli, this Is little indeed Why are you trying to impose upon me7 Take him of up-stairs!'

 The porter appears, to assist the po- liceman.
 "Haul him up stairs. children, and I'll be there directiyi" shouts tins judge. They drag the overteer out, and lead him upstairs, while he cries, Dear sirs, benefaetors, If you were to kill me, haven't another kopecki" After . few blows from the switches, he begins to shout. "Stay, orthodox believers, there Is tri1e rnore!7
 Well, stop my brave fellows. Show us what more you have," orders the judge. The oyerMer takes of one of his shoes and extracts from It an- other trife.
 What's that nonsense! Throw him down again, children This process is repeated fvs or six times. The same mode of extracting the rent everywhere prevailed. All dsy long overseers were brought to the judge, and shrieks resoundcd.

Near by stood q man who also wanted drink cf tho water. He'd boon out with the boys tho night be- fore, and he wanted drink oi it pret. ty badly,
 "Yoa drink first, Flo" said ono of them,
 "Oh, no; you, Bess" "Neverl to on, Flo."
 "l won't do 1t. Drink yourself, Bess." There were now two men waiting. "l think you're mean when you know want you to"
 "i don't care~~ you've got to drink first, because won't.r
 "Well, then, If must, suppose l must"
 Therc were now four thirsty men in limo waiting anxiously.
 "My, but It's cold"

 Don't drink 1t too last or it'll make you sick" "No 'twon't 1 ate thNe dishes of Ice cream with Charlie the other night fast as could swallow them, and It didn't make me slck."
 Therc were eight men waiting to get drink now,
 "'Tis cold, isn't 1t, Bessg"

 The census was taken at this point and thirty-two mon found gazing long ingly at the lce- water tank.

 Sixty-four men reported. Those who had first fallen Into the line wore now spcechlesa with thirst. 4g "l'll just kiII myssl. drinking so mueh--I know 1 shall" .s.... "Oh, no you won't" But the horrId stuff is so awfully cold"
 "rhat don't make any difference" The crowd of thirsty men WAS now too long to count, but careful cati- mate placc.l the number at i2s. "I.et me have just little more."
 "Why, you'll kill yourself-~l never saw anybody drink ice water so In my life"

 Then that crowd of men fought V with one another, and surged around that water cooler, and thoae who were not too far gone with thirst made re- marks short but deep; and perhaps \ quarter of them managed to get a drink before the boat started.

"pE RIBBER oB LIFE. {"

Idreamt dat saw de ribber obli

 But none ob 'em spoke to me. Some dipped dere wings in de silv'ry tide; Some were alone an some side by side. Nary a one dat knew could see,
 In dat ribber of life,
 De ribber ob life,
 Dat flows to de Jaspah sea. De ribber was wide, dat ribber ob life,
 De bottom could plainly see, De stones layin' dar was winter den snow
 De sands looked like gold to me. But angels kep' wadin to and fro, Whar did dey come frum? Whar did dey go? None ob lem sinnahs like me know,

 De ribber ob life

De sof'es' ob music f'om angel bands Come ober dat ribber of golden sands, Come ober dat ribber to me. An den saw de clouds break way, Revealin' de pearly gates ob day, De beautiful day dat nevah shall cease, Whar all IS joy an Tub an peace. And ovah dem gates was written so clear; Peace to all who entah here.

Coming Again.

Owing to his large and increasing
practice in this community, DR.. truth
Of New York, has consented to make
return visit to Owosso Tuesday,
May 18th, 1888. During his visits
here he has consulted with large
number of The afflicted and placed
under treatment those whom he
thought he could cure or greatly
benefit. The majority Of his patients
have been restored to health under
the doctors treatment. Every day
many of the sick who had hitherto
been unsuccessfully treated by physi
clans far and near and who had des
paired of either being cured or bene
fitted, cal at the Doctors parlors to
thank him for the great good he has
done them. One OF the great secrets
of his success is that be is recently
from the great hospitals of New York
City. He also has the latest and most
improved instruments ever imported
into this country for examining and
treating all chronic diseases, having
long since realized that 1t is imposs.-
BILE to effect permanent cures without
correct knowledge of the difficulty
that affects the person complaining.
DIR. truth finds the original cause of
the trouble and from that follows up
its effects and tells his patients their
real condition. Consultation free on
the above date at the Merell Horse.
