A Lovely Moonshinsr.

Miss Bette Smith, of Frentress CO.,
Tenn, who was arrested on the charge of
illicit distilling, is said to be handsome
and accomplished, and is supposed to
have written that wild and stirring ro-
nance, "The Blue-headed Sapsucker;
or The Rock Where the Juice Ran Out.''
Col. Harvey Mathes, editor of the Mem.
phis Ledger, says that Miss Smith is
undoubtedly the author of the story
This is startling revelation. At one
time Col. Mathes offered 5000 for the
discovery of the author
When Miss Smith was arraiened be fore
the United States Court at Nashville, she
conducted herself with such grace and
dignity that the polite old Judge, deeply
impressed, arose and made her a pro-
found bow.
"Miss Smith, to see you in this awful
predicament seriously touches me-"

"When were you 10 years OLAF"
"The year my father died"

"Miss Smith, you are woman. but I
insist that you shall answer my ques-
tions. Remember if convicted of this
awful charge, you will be sent to the
penitentiary. What did you do with
the whisky you made?"
"Sol it,"

Farm Notes.

The best time TO cut grass is in the

chance to dry in, go all over the surface

The Perfect Horse.

The perfect horse is yet to be foalsd
and we must take facts as they are, and
not expect to find all good qualities in
any one horse. In dealing with stran
ger, rely largely on your own judgment,
and endeavor not to be misled by any
questionable statements that he may
make. See that the horse stands square,
ly on its feet, and that it does not toe
out behind, or toe in forward. Run
your hand slowly and carefully down
the inside of each leg; If there is
bunch there you will feel it. See that
the feet are sound and well spread. A
dark hoof, if sound. is better than a
white or streaked Ole. Look sharp at
the eye. A bright, full eye denotes
spirit; a mild, pleasant eye. with a
brownish cast, indicates a pleasant, af-
fectionate disposition, while an eye with
a good deal of white denotes temper.
There ls perhaps no other way to Judge
q horses disposition 80 well as by a
careful study of his eyes, and too much
importance cannot well be attached to
the necessity of good disposition. In
every case, take bill of the horse. writ
ten by the seller himself, with the horse
described therein as sound or unsouud.
If buyer is personally acquainted with
any reliable person who has satisfac,
tory horse for sale, it is better to pur-
chase Of him, even though 1t may cost
more. Nearly every man feels indig-
nant at the suggestion that he is not
to handle any horse, while
the fact is this: that after you and
are taken ont of the list, there remain
few men really competent
to handle a fine, high.strung, nervous
horse, although it may not be in the
least vicious" Many a man has made
serious mistake in getting more horse.

That Water Power.


We understand from Mr.. Riddle, OF
select council, that the water power
owned by the city will not be used for
making its electric light, because the
councilmen are under the belief that
wafer power is too unsteady 10 be util-
ized for such purpose. He says that It
never has been used successfully for elec.
trio lighting save at Buffalo.
As to which we conceive that Mr..
Riddle and the councilmen are entirely
mistaken. There is no reason apparent
why water power should not he as effec-
tive for working an electric plant as for
any other; and 1t would take a great
deal of experience to make anyone
believe anything so seemingly silly.
And itdoes not accord with our informa-
ton, which is that water power is util-
lied for making electric power wherever
1t exists in sufficient quantity. 1t is pos
slble that the power owned by the city on
the Corestoga may not suffice for its
plant but IL it is sufficient, there is no
question whatever that it is the power for
1t TO use to light the city.

THREE hundred tin horns were distribu.

that the boys had worked hard for q year
and he proposed to let them have AZ much

school for 1883. At signal from him "a
terrific blast from 800 horns broke the still.
ness OF the room. Every boy wac In his
glory and each tried his level best to outdo
the others. They made one continuous
and awful roar, which resembled more the
noise OF hundred threshing machines than
any that might be produced by human
lungs. The visitors put their fingers In
their ears, but the harder they pressed the
harder the boys blew. Principal Suther.

is however, no justification for II, - the
seacoast shipment rate is an ample charge
for the service. 1t is, we believe, sl.25

Want to Buy u War.

The beligerent spirit OF the press and
the irm position Of our government in its
foreign dealings might excuse the bold
ne's Of the observation that this
heilthy young nation is beginning to feel
it, oats. Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, has
also been felt. He arose in the House
during the debate on the canal bill and
remarked that he thought a small and
cheap war wonld be good thing to get.
That was the substance Of what he said
though he referred to the purchase
10 manner less abrupt. The
report says that Mr.. Oates did
not think the Nicaragua enterprise
would involve the nation in war, but he
merely seized the opportunity TO ventilate
his views on the matter and began with
the assertion that "nothing but foreign
war would ever completely eradicate
Sectionalism and he exclaimed, elf it
had no other beneficial result, such war
II 1t was not great and expensive one,
would be worth the outlay" Mr.. Her
bart, also Of Alabama, coincided with Mr..
OItes. There is nothing very novel in
this view of war except the business like
condition Of the size and cost of the
Luxury. No one can tell how great
or expensive war may be, and
to act as q destroyer Of section
aism, q foreign war would have
to be OF alarming size. 1t might
Tor example be doubted whether a
war about Canada which involved the
bombardment OF Boston, New York, and
perhaps the lake cities, or the collection
of ship loads Of money from them, would
stimulate kindly feeling in those cities
towards Alabama, whose growing indus.
tries would be greatly encouraged. But
II this first act of the drama was followed
by a great and expensive series of opera
tions by sea and land, 30 that the whole
strength Of the nation would be stag
gered by the burden, then sectionalism
would surely be sLitled. Sectionalism
can be removed by war, but it is a pain.
ful, dangerous and exhausting operation,
and the condition of the patient is by no
means so desperate as to justify the con-
sidera!ion In Congress Of that alternative.
