Sad Affair.

On Saturday last Mrs Neal, wife of
Newton Neal who reside on Clear
Creek in this county. arrived in Albion
with her little six year old boy Willie,
who has for two years past been suf-
fering from the effects of diseased
hip, to undergo an operation. The
child was very weak and in totally
helpless condition. On Monday morn
ing DIR. LindIey proceeded to operate
on the leg, first using an anesthetic.
The doctor, with the assistance of T.
NJ. Gray, of Albion, proceeded to cx-
tract the diseased portion of the bone
from the hip to the knee, which was
done in very skillful and credible
manner, but the shock was too great
for the wasted condition Of the patient
and the little fellow died soon after
the leg had been dressed. 1t was a
heartrending sight and great under
taking for the doctor, but feeling that
the last resort was the only salvation
in the world for the boy, the parents
consented The blow almost com
pletely Frustrated the loving mother,
who was here alone with her child
Mr. Neal was sent for and arrived in
Albion Monday night, when arrang-
ments were made for the funeral on
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
funeral was largely attended by the
residents of Albion, Judge J. f. Har-
roun officiating. Everything was done
that could be done by the kind people
of Albion to lessen the burdens of
grief on the part of the heart-stricken
parents.-Cassia County Times.

Tin is taxed S24 on every 500

Paper-bags are protected $50 in
every 500 produced, and the labor
cost is $l5.
These articles are all common nee
essarles of life or of business, and all
of them are protected by the Mills
tariff bill largely above the labor cost
of production here on the basis of
good wages to labor, excepting tin,
salt and wool which are made free.
/ Wool is made free to enable our
wooden industries to double their home
product, to give increased wages to
labor, increased profits to capital and
90 per cent. cheaper woolens to con-
sumers.
Tin is made free because we have
no labor engaged in its manufacture,
and because a tax upon it is a need
less tax upon the common necessaries
of every workingman of the land.
| Salt is made free because 1t is used
in every family, rich and poor, and
because tariff taxes on it have bred
an extortionate monopoly trust that
robs every table in the entire country
The wages of American labor should
be fully protected By oar tariff laws
and al tariff taxes beyond the pro
duction of wages of workingmen are
simply protection to monopolies, which
employ free trade, cheap labor, anc
give American labor high taxes ano
low wages.

CLIMBING SHRUBS.
How to Render Country Scenery Attract
i've and Picturesque.

i've and Picturesque.
A country resident, a part of whose
intended ornamental grounds are now
rough, rocky, crossed by small ra-
vine, and have some natural growth
of trees and bushes, wishes TO retain
in some degree its wild appearance,
and at the same time add to it's attract
i've ornament by planting climbing
and trailing shrubs to cover some of
the trees, and clothe few rocks and
hillsides. He asks for a list of those
which are hardy, will take care of
themselves. and will at the same time
increase the natural beauty of the
place. We name the following, which
will require more or less of good cul-
tivated soil, only for a few years, to
give them a good start. They should
not be in formal beds, but in some
what irregular masses, presenting nat
ural appearance. Among the hardest
and most rampant growers are the
following: Bigmonia radicaas, or trum-
pet flower, the rootlets from the stems
holding it to stone wall or the face of
a rock; Uematis virgiaiaaaa, II rapid
grower, producing a profusion of
white flowers late in summer; dinpe-
lopsis quinquefotia, or Virginia C. eeper,
also adhering by the rootlets at the
joints to whatever 1t touches, and
well known for its crimson foliage in
autumn; Celastrus sc0pdefas, distin-
guished for it's orange fruit late. in the
season, and the English ivy, for cover
ing the ground, but not hardy enough
in the North, when much exposed, on
buildings. The four first named are
natives. and will endure any of our
winters. Among more delicate climb
ers and trailers are the following:
Halls Japan honeysnckle, MEMS.
permum, or moon seed, Periploca,
scarlet trumpet honeysuckle, Aris-
tolochia, Anapelopsis veitc]aii, and Akebia
qudaaato.
We suggest the addition to the
climbers, if there is space enough here
and there, of few hardy shrubs,
which will grow and flourish in the .
sunshine after they have fair start:
Forsythia. the large panicled hydran-.
gea, Tartarian honeysuckle, SNOWFALL,
sorb-leaved spiraa, weigela, purple
barberry and calycanthus. There are
several other hardy shrubs of much
beauty, but they would be less liable to
thrive under neglect We have seen
wild piece of ground, including hill
side, rendered beautiful by planting
among the scattered bushes number
of bushes of the Catawba rhododen-
dron. the trees partly shading as well
as protecting them, and imparting.

SOME QUEER NOTIONS.
Wonderfully Strange European Ideas Con-
corning America.

Wonderfully Strange European Ideas Con-
corning America.
An English lady who had Travelled
over the greater part of Europe said
she had a great desire to come to
America, and her principal object in
doing so was to shoot Niagara. l
rather opened my eyes at this, and
said that [ thought she must refer to
the celebrated trip down the rapids of
the St. Lawrence, but she was very
positive on the subject, and said she
meant Niagara, and nothing else; she
had understood that they did itin a
steamboat, and she knew she should
enjoy the sensation.
A well-educated middle-aged gentle
man told me that the reason our civil
war lasted so long was that we had no
military men in our country, and that
a war carried on entirely by civilians
could not proceed very rapidly. If
any of you have ever seen an English
atlas you will understand why it is DIFF
ficult to get from it good idea of
America. We shall find, in such an
atlas, full and complete maps of every
European country and principally, a
whole page being sometimes given to
an island, or to a colony in Asia and
Africa; but the entire United States,
with sometimes the whole of North
America besides, is crowded into a
single map. Some of these are so
small that the New England States are
not large enough to contain their
names, and are designated by letters
which refer to the names printed in an
open part of the Atlantic Ocean. No
wonder that the people who use these
maps have limited idea of our coun-
try.
But it is not only English people
who appear to know very little about
America. A German Countess once
asked me if we had any theaters in New
York, and when told her that there
were not only great many theaters in
that city, but that it possessed two
| grand opera-houses at which, at that
time, two of the leading prima donnas
of the world were singing on the same
nights, she was a little surprised. 1t
is quite common in various parts of
the Continent to hear people speak of
the late war between North and South
America. They knew that the war
was between the North and the South,
and as it was America. the mistake is
natural enough to people who have
studied only European geography

REMEDY FOR BURNS.
A Physician Tries Pinus Canadensis with
Delightful Results.

Many remedies at one time or
another have been proposed for the
surgical condition following the appli-
cation of excessive heat to the body,
and, while some of these are of value,
still all are more or less unsatisfactory.
The alienation of the pain and suffer-
ing attendant upon burns is one of the
most important points in the case
towards which the surgeon directs his
efforts. The shock from this cause
alone is sufficient often times to pro-
duce death, and always is great. Ac-
cidently, l recently discovered rem

THE eRoNzED KID SHOES.

Bright in the sun, as FURNISHED gold,
And in the shadows, brown, e:
A dainty little pair of shoes
My father brought from town.
For mel for me!
1t could not bel
They seemed too fine to wear
Less fit for treading dusty ground
Than skimming sunny air!
Not till, close-ftted on my feet,
1 saw them brightly shine,
And had tied the strings, myself.
Could believe them mine!
Then, with proud sense
OF consequence,
I felt them press my toes,
And wore them, with the full delight
That only childhood knowsl
When Sunday came, thrice welcome day!
AS if with sunlight shod,
Down the long street that led to church
Exultingly trod.
And when, alas!
1t came to pass,
Some dust my shoes made gray,
took my little 'kerchief out
And wiped it all away
But the third time put them on,
One morning in July,

A rudy fame to spy;
A signal-fre!
With glad desire
My childish course was turned
For where it glowed, knew the rare,
Tall meadow-lilies burned.
Quick as the thought, climbed the wall,
And, through the grass, I sped,
Out mid the fern, and where the flags
Were higher than my head;
One bound took,
And crossed the brook
Nor, for an instant, stopped
Till, down among the lily-fowers,
All out of breath, I dropped.
But, as my hand was on the prize,
Soaked through with heavy dews,
And covered with the brook-side clay,
saw my precious shoes
A sorry sight!
Within the light
No more they cleaned like gold!
But dingy purple, seemed as though
They had, at once, grown old.
In vain I dried them in the sun;

There was not, meath the sunny sky,
A heavier heart than mine!
