with certain following of hard times
and disastrous commercial reverses? II
should seem that every one must know
by this time how tariffs are made-lob-
bied through Congress by those who ex-
pect to reap the benefit. Protection is
asked for infant industries, but the larger
they grow the more is demanded. 1t is
eternally dinned into the ears of the
workingman that all this is done in his
interest. Who is to teach him the truth
that protection is always tax upon labor,
not upon capital ? The duty must fall di-
rectly or indirectly on the Congressman.
Gas to President Cleveland, his stand
ard of duty lifts him above partisanship.

4 Mad Lovers Romance.

Early in the season family of three per-
sons came to Old Orchard, on the Maine
coast, and took up their abode at one of the
hotels-father, mother and daughter. The
former wealthy and indulgent; the latter
beautiful and modest. At the hotel tarried
middle-aged gentleman, of prepossessing
appearance, fine conversational powers, and
altogether estimable qualities. Tie guests
were not abundant, for the season was early,
and the young lady and middle-aged gentle
man found occasion to frequent the veranda,
under sanction of pater and mater familias,
where lengthy tete-a-tetes were INDUCED in.
The young lady was impressible and
susceptible The middle-aged gentleman
was gallant and assiduous in his attentions.
Time wore on and decided attachment grew
up between the two, which became.a matter
of comment to the now increasing guests. 1t
was generally understood that matrimony
was the inevitable. One day the lady
accompanied her parents in town to do a
little shopping, returning late in the after
noon. What was her CONSERVATION on ar
riying at the hotel to learn that her gay
Lothario had suddenly disappeared, been
spirited away, as it were, or in other words,
been captured and sent back to the insane
asylum from which he had escaped few
months before, meantime being temporarily
rational enough to carry out the role men,
toned. 1t seems that the lunatic when
younger man had visited another seaside
resort with his afIianced. While in bathing,
the undertow, from which Old Orchard
beach is remarkably free, carried the young
lady out beyond her lovers reach, and she
was drowned. The event so agonized him
that he went stark mad, and was sent to the
asylum, from which he managed to escape,
and was recaptured as related above.

Couldn't Keep a Secret.

Henry Drayton was always suspicious Of
everybody except himself, and his own short
comings be would always lay at the doors
Of his neighbors. He once sold an unhappy
looking, crosseyed pup TO one ofthese neigh
bors, miller, who was especially enjoined
to keep the price he paid for it secret.
One rainy day number Of the miller's
friends were in the mill teasing the miller
about the pup, and trying to get him to
commit himself as to the price he paid for
il.
Boys" said the miller, 81 promised to
keep the price private, and can't tell you /;
but Drayton is going by now. | will hail
him, and get him to tell you. Halloo, Dray-
ton How much was it was to pay you for
that pup?"
Twenty shillins, you darned fool, you
I knew you couldn't keep it 20 yourself, as
/ have, but would have to go right off and
tell everybody Of it."

POETR Y.
THE REASON WHY.

''Will you tell me youthful angler,
To an urchin did say,
As together we sat fishing
One fair morn upon the quay,
"Why the fish 10 you are partial,
And around my hook they play ?
/ have not had cen a nibble
Since the breaking of the day.
This urchin's face was homely,
His clothes were torn and thin,
And attached to his "gallus'
Were his trousers by pin.
For a rod he had a sapling;
Ia jointed pole had hired
Yet he sat and hauled the fish IN
With a skill that made me tired.
Scattered round him were his trophies
Like the rocks along the shore,
He hundred fish had taken
Ia cold, and nothing more.
But this urchin made no answer,
He did only sit and grin;
Till at length cried in anger:
Tell me Tell, thou child Of sin,
"Or I'll feed you to the fishes
And your bones shall sink from sight,
As the sun sinks in the evening"
Hold, he cried, Il have bite.
Then this urchin smiling answered,
While another fish he took:
Don't you get excited, Mister,
You forgot 10 bait your hook"

"The most wonderful instance of doing
things in hurry" says Eli Perkins,
"was when my uncle, Consider Perkins,
courted the Widow jenkins up in Con-
necticut."
"HOw quick was the courtship?"
"Well, my uncle Consider cantered his
horse over to the widows farm before
breakfast one morning, hustled into the
house and gasped:
"'Widder jenkins, I'm man of bus
iness, I'm worth $4,000, and want you
for a wife. / give you just three min
utes to answer"
"I don't want ten seconds, old man, 3"
she replied as she shook out the dish
cloth. "Tm a woman of business, worth
$4,000, and / wouldn't marry you if
you were the last man on earth give
you four seconds to gitP"

SicalIoics Take TO a Ship.

A rather curious episode in natural history
occurred the other day on board the French
steamboat Abd-el-Kader during the passage
from Marseilles to Algiers. Just as the
vessel was about two hours out the sky
became quite black with swallows. 1t was
then about o'clock in the evening. They
alighted in thousands upon the sails, ropes
and yards of the Abd-elKader. After a
perky survey of the deck from their eminen-
ces aloft they descended coolly on deck,
hoped about among the sailors and pas
sengers, and eventually found their way into
the cabins fore and aft. The birds were
evidently fatigued, after a long flight, and
allowed themselves to be caught by the peo-
pie Of the ship, who gave them welcome
reception and provided them with food,
which they enjoyed heartily. The little
winged strangers remained all night on the
vessel, and in the morning at O'Clock the
head lookout bird no doubt sighted the
Balearic Isles, for the whole flock made for
land, after having spent comfortable and
refreshing night on board ship.

Change OF Seed.

The prevalent belief among farmers
that change Of seed is beneficial and
that the best seed is brought from a
colder climate has been proved by
tests made at the Canadian expert
mental farm at Ottawa. The vitality
or terminating ability for wheat
brought from Manitoba was found to
be 96 per cent, and oats SO per cent,
against, ~, 73 and rs per cent respect
lively of seed procured in the eastern
provinces of Canada. This fact has
most important significance in regard
to the choice of seed. The average
yield Of oats, in the Southern States is
20 to 20 bushels per acre Of grain,
weighing "a to 2S pounds per bushel,
and this low yield Is due In great
measure to the use Of seed of this infe-
rior character. Where oats imported
from Scotland and weighing 81 pounds
per bushel has been sown i'm South
crn State the yield was over 60 BUSH
els per acre measured, and the grain
was nearly as plump and hearty as
the seed used. The same will no
doubt apply 10 the southern wheat, of
which the average yield Is no more
than seven bushels per acre. Much
the same occurs in the Northern and
Western States, and, indeed, every
where that seed Is used from the crops
grown IN the locality and without Sc
lection. A change Of seed produces
more vigorous and productive crops,
aud ths grain necessarily possesses
superior y.ta|ify The cEFcf1| 1dT66[|06

Minneapolis, Oct. I'm. J. Horp-
mann Of this city, who has been inves-
tigating the condition of the farmers
In Ramsey County, Dak., who were re-
ported to be starving to death, returned
last night. He says there are seventy
families who are absolutely destitute of
food and fuel, and something must be
done Immediately. The condition OF
the people Is terrible. Men, women.
and children are in rags, and they have
not cent. Their crops were totally
destroyed, and their land, and farm
implements are mortgaged. Absolute
distress prevails everywhere.
A minister was living in one room
with his wife and two small children.
One of the latter was wrapped up in a
crib in order to keep warm, and the
other was blue and shivering with
cold and emanciated with hunger.
There was no fuel, with the exception
of little dry manure, which is oil that
any Of the families hayc to burn, and
the only thing they had to eat was a
dry crust ofbread. Mr. Horpmann says
The frost which came in August de-
stroycd all of the wheat that there was,
as well as all vegetables, even those as
hardy as turnips.

JudIcl0us Leadership.

Under the judicious Leadership of
Gen. Catchings, of Mississippi, the
friends of the rivers and harbors i'm
provement in the House are already
working TO secure the passage of a
rivers and harbors bill at the coming
short session. The difficulties that at
tend the preparation and passage of
such bill during the three months of
the short session have been SO often
demonstrated that these gentlemen
think 1t the part of wisdom to formu-
late in advance some plan of action.
There has lately been a great deal of
discussion and deliberation TO that end,
altogether no definite conclusion as
yet has been reached. The plan that
seems to meet with most general favor,
and which will probably be adopted,
Is the presentation within week or
ten days after Congress meets of bill
that viii make horizontal cut on the
bill that has just become law, and
that win appropriate from s7,00o'00O
