to AsSassinate Her.
Nothing has so clearly brought out
the true character of that noble
Communist and Frenchwoman. Lou
ise Michel, than the attack which
was made upon her at Havre. Dur
ING the meeting at which she was
speaking, an individual, named Paul
Lucas, who is thought to be half q
lunatlc, fired two shots at her from
a revolver, which wounded her in
the head. Lucas was. of course, ar
rested. Directly she heard of his
arrest, Louise Michel's first demand
was that he should be Immediately
released. With this, of course, the
Commissaire of Police was unable to
comply. Louise Michel has since
stated that when the trial of Lucas
takes place, she will appear for his
uefehce. She urges that as the pres
ent vlllalnous state Of Society is re-
sponslble for most of the crime and
lunacy of to-day, Lucas should not
be punished for the harm he has in
tllcted on her. This is certainly act
ing up to ones principles. LORd0n

Where the Burden Lies.

In his recent speech, Illustrating the burden placed upon the farmer by the present tariff. Mir. Turner made use of the following plain state ment of facts. He said:
 When the farmer rises from his bed in the morning he puts on his common flannel shirt, taxed 92 per cent his coat taxed 57 per cent his shoes taxed 8 per cent: and hat taxed 92 per cent and washes his face and hands in a tin bowl, taxed 34 per cent, dries them on cheap cotton towel, taxed 45 per cent. He sits down to his humble meal and eats from plate taxed 50 per cent, with knife and fork taxed 8 per cent drinks his coffee with sugar taxed 6S per cent seasons his food with salt taxed 69 per cent; pepper taxed 6l per cent. He looks round to his wife and children all taxed the same way; and even the sunlight from heaven that pours into his dwelling must come through the win dow glasses, taxed 5S per cent; and yet he thinks he lives in the most free government under heaven.- Then he goes to work; puts on his bridle, taxed B per cent, on his horse. and takes his horse that has been shod-the nails used in shoe ing being taxed B per cent, driven bV a hammer taxed 10 per ccut. and hitchcs him to q ploN taxed 4j per cent, chains taxed 5S per cent ; and after the days labor is closed and his family are all gathered around he reads q chapter from his Bible taxed p per cent, and kneels to pray on an humble carpet taxed 51 per cent and then he rests his weary limbs on sheet taxed 45 per cent, and covers himself with blan- ket that has paid l04 DOT cent. Nor do the grasping manufacturers stop here, but even the broom with which his good wife sweeps the floor is taxed 8 per cept, and cooking ves- sels used in preparing her husband S frugal meats are taxed 42 per cent and the soda used to Tighten his bread, taxed 5G per cent. Then she sits down to her sewing with a needle taxed p per cent and spool of thread taxed 73 per cent to make a calico dress taxed 5S per cent; or if she wishes to knit warm socks to protect her husband and children from the bitter cold, she uses yarn taxed l20 per cent and thus daily and hourly must the hard earnings of the laborer go to satisfy the man. ufacturer.

He noticed queer look on their faces and asked why they looked at him so strangely One of the brakemen took pocket mirror and held it before Blondie.- He saw that his hair had turned as white as snow.

 Thus are the Garfield and Grant epsiodoes repeated and, and public confidence in expert medical knowledge is again shaken.
 The effect is revulsion.
 Since the fatal days of 1883, many of the doctrines of the schoolmen concerning extensive medication have been abandoned and all schools of practice are more relying upon old-fashioncd simple root and herb, preparations and careful nursing, - the only reliances known to our an- cestors.
 Those methods and relianccs are illustrated to-day in series of old fashoned roots and herbs prcpara- tions recently given to the world by the well known proprietors of War ner's safe curc-prcparations made from formuln possessed by many of our oldest families, and rescued for popular use and issued under the happy designation of Warmers Log Cabin Remedies.

JEFFERSON ON PAPER MONEY,

''l am sorry to sec our loans begin at so exhorbitant an interest. And yet'even at that, you will soon be at the bottom of the loan-bag. We are an agricultural nation. Such an one employs its sparings in the pur- chase, or improvement of land or stocks. The lendable money among them. is chiefly that orphans and wards, in the hands of executors and guardians, and that which the farm CT lays by till he has enough for the purchase in view. In such nation there is one and one only. resource for loans, sufficient to carry them | through the expenses of war, that will always be sufficient. and in the power of an honest government. punctial in the preservation of its faith. The fund l mean is the mass of circulating coin. Every one knows, that although not literally. it is nearly true, that every paper dol lar emitted banishes silver one from the circulation A nation therefore, making it's purchases and payments with bills fitted for circula- tion, thrusts an. equal sum of coin out of circulation. ."-Jefferson' $ works, Vol. VI, P. 139.

Two places trading together balance their dealings, for the most part, by their mutual supplies, and the debtor in- dividuals of either may, instead of cash, remit the bills of those who are creditors in the same dealings; or may obtain them through some third place with which both have dealings.

Hope to forget on some Southern shore,

Ere from thy lips had heard my fate,

Dropped through the fingers that hid her face,
And fell on the folds of her bridal lace.

FARM NOTES .

Manures consisting of potash, pkos>
phoric acid and ammonia, or nitrates,
appear competent to grow large crops of
wheat continuously.
An English authority has computed
that in the last three or four years more
pigs have died in the United States from
cholera then have been raised in the
British Isles.
Barley is somewhat better than oats to
sow early for soiling purposes. It grows
up TO cutting size more quickly, and just
before heading out is especially rich and
succulent for COWS giving milk.
Do not use any manure when planting
the young peach trees. Simply remove
the top soil, then dig holes for the roots.
Set in the tree firmly, throwing the top
soil next to the roots. Firm down the
earth well, cut the trees well back and
stake them if there be danger of their
being severely shaken by winds.
Pick off all the blossoms that may ap-
pear on your young strawberry vines set
out this spring. Do not allow any of the
young plants to fruit. 1t will injure their
growth and lessen their productiveness
next season.
g
be utilized when young. Crab grass,
which is persistent pest in the garden
and fields, possesses but little value when
fully matured, yet it affords excellent
grazing when young. Sheep are very
fond of it, while horses and COWS will &C.
cept it when more desirable grasses can
not be found.
1t is claimed that the presence of the
castor oil been plants around the house
will prevent mosquitoes from becoming
very numerous. AS the plant makes a
beautiful ornament it would not be out
of place, and might therefore, be given a
trial with advantage. It is doubtful, how
ever, if there be any plants that will keep
away the pests.
One mistake made with selling fowls is
in growing them to large size before
selling. The best weights are from to
pounds each. The demand is greater for
such weights, as many buyers have found
the larger sizes more expensive. Com
mission merchants report that while there
is, of course, demand for choice, large
fowls, Yet the smaller ones sell more
rapidly,
Get the ground ready for turnips. Plcw
it now, so as to allow the grass and weeds
to start up. AS fast as they shall appear
run a cultivator over the field. In this
manner nearly all the grass and weeds
will be destroyed before the arrival of
the time for putting in the turnip seed,
and it will save labor in growing the crop.
It is also best to spread the manure on
the plot now, as manure frequently con-
tains seeds of weeds.
