When 1 was boy" said Representative
Ford of Michigan to me the other day, Il ra1
away and went to sea. 1t was shortly before
the war closed, and l saw some active service
although not much; l was too young. The other
day had passed bill pensioning the wife of
the admiral on whose flagship served. Funny
ism it, how things come rouudy In those days
the admiral was such big man that he and
couldn't breathe the air on the same side of the
ship together. Now am in congress, and get
a pension for his widow
Another strange turn happened in the kaleid-
oscope of fate not long ago, when the bill to
retire Gen. Alfred Pleasonton, the famous cav
airy leader, came before congress. Gen. Hooker
a one-armed confederate soldier championed
the bill in the House, and Senator Butler of
South Carolina, who lost a leg in the cavalry
ight at Brandy station, fighting against Col
Peasonton, Vas the chief supporter of the bill
IN the Senate. At one time Pleasonton had g
reputation second only to that of Sheridan as a
lashng cavalry commander but of late years
ne has been in almost destitute circumstances.
Now the men against whom he fought have to
turn in and help pass bill for his relief.

An Excellent Law.

Wherever the mo fence" law has been
given fair trial. it has proved a success.
! The opposition TO its adoption comes gener-
ally from people who give the smallest
amount of attention to their stock, aud
who are willing for their cattle to live off
of other people. A misunderstanding of its
operation enters also into heopposition to it.
| Probably in every election on this question
in Georgia, the votes against mo fence"
have been cast chiefly by colored people.
After the law is tried, however, it frequently
happens that those who were opposed to it,
whether they were white or colored, become
its most enthusiastic supporters.
The law leaves it discretionary with the
landholder whether or not he will do away
with the fencing around his land, but it re-
quires him to keep we'll fenced enclosure
for his cattle, and if they are allowed
to trespass upon the lands of others, he may
be held liable for the damage they do. I'm
der its operation, however, there is very
little running at large of stock, and, conse-
quently, very little arbitration growing out
of it.
The law serves several excellent purposes.

attention to stock, and, therefore, TO i'm
prove the grades. In a county which is
interested in butter making, this is very
important consideration.
1t saves the big aggregate expense an
nually of keeping up fences, and ena bles
farmers and others to give more time to
other work.
1t increases the acreage in cultivation, as
the old fence corners, together with land
almost to the edges of the public roads,
may be utilized. This land, not being par
TALLY exhausted by cultivation, is frequently
the best part of a field. In the western
portion of Dougherty county, where the law
is in operation, it is said that $50 bales of
cotton are now gathered annually from
land formerly taken up by fences.
1t protects landholders from the depre-
dations Of stray stock, besides doing away
with great deal of annoyance to them.
mo fence" is in operation in a number of
counties in Georgia, and there is reason for
saying that it will be adopted eventually in
all of them. In some of them it has been
brought about by special legislative enact
ment on the petition of citizens represent
ing the greater portion of the landed prop
erty. 1t is good law, and the county
which refuses to adopt it makes great
mistake

A Clean Campaign.

The interest taken by the people in
the presidential contest is not less pro-
nounced than it was in 1884, but it is
sonable abuse of candidates is INDUCED in
Then the campaign was such as self-re-
specting people hope never to witness
again. The private lives of the leading
candidates were attacked, and on both
sides a great many things were said that
neither injured the chances of election of
the candidate against whom they were
directed, nor bettered the prospects of the
one they were intended indirectly to
benefit.
Chairman Brice, of the democratic cam
paign com mittee, deserves the greater part
of the credit for comparatively clean
campaign this year. When he assumed
charge of affairs at democratic head
quarters, he announced that, so far as he
was able to control it, the campaign would
be one of reason, and not of low personal
tiles, and he has succeeded admirably in
carrying out his purpose. While Gen.
Harrison has been criticised, the criticism
has been kept in bounds, and has been con-
In no instance has his private life been at
tackled.
1t can hardly be said truthfully that the
republicans from first to last have adhered
to this plan. They were probably respon-
sible for the scurrilous pamphlet in which
Mr.. Cleveland was attacked at the time of
the st. Louis convention, and it is proba-
BILE, also that they instigated tho brutal
charges concerning the Presidents domes-
tic life, which were made public after he
was nominated. For some reason, how
ever, very likely because it was found that
nothing was 10 be gained by it, this man
ner of political warfare was suddenly aban-
doned, since when the canvass has been
conducted pretty much with regard to the
merits Of the two parties and the issues in
volved.
The people are to be congratulated that
such is the case The effects of clean cam
paign will probably be felt in future con-
tests While the Democratic party has
nothing to fear from personal abuse of its
candidates, il will gain the increased respect
Of the people generally, because of its eff
forts - place polite, upon higher plane
b.
Congressman Payson, Of Illinois, has had
himself interviewed lie says the demo-
Gratis have about abandoned all hope of re-
electing Mr.. Cleveland, and that there are
great landslldes to republicanism in New
York and Indiana. Payson will probably
experience a very rude awakening about
Nov. next.

A special from Havana says that crime
is becoming so common in that city that
people are afraid to so upon the streets
after dark. Murder, arson and kidnapping
seem to have become epidemic. An instance
of the fist named is furnished in the muir
der of clerk by his employer. The clerk
had an amount of money deposited with the
merchant, who, aided by mulatto, put
him out Of the way, so as to get the money.
He was stabbed twenty-seven times, and his
head was nearly severed from his body.
This occurred in the merchants store early
in the morning.

A Painful Belief.

FROM The Boston Irdnscrtpt
The mind cure has ceased to be a nine days
wonder. The devotees of the idea are divided
into not only the three main sects with which
they began, but into some half dozen more dis
tinct shades of thought, ranging from an alb
stract mental materialism to the simplest form
of old-fashioned religious prayer cure The
the majority, continue to employ the familiar
phraseology about belief of a cold" an
illusion of indigestion" and on. refusing to
speak OF any of these accustomed ills as real.
There was an instance of the use of this Ian
guage the other day which sounded very queerly.

A diver in San Francisco, who was en-
gagged at $3.50 day to go down and exam
inc the machinery of the steamer City OF
Chester, which was sunk last August, has
thrown up the job. He took one look at
the vessel, and that satisfied him. The first
thing that met his eye was tho form of a
man standing with face distorted and
tongue hanging out of his mouth The
body was swollen to twice its natural size.
Then he saw another victim, on his knees,
grasping a third man around the waist.
The diver got out of the water, reported
his discovery to the officers, and refused to
listen to appeals to make another trip.

According to the Lewiston Herald, there
will be no more biz lumber RATS from
Nova Scotia TO New York. This is not
owing to the impossibility of bringing them
safely to this country, for it has been
demonstrated lately that Mr.. Leary's
scheme con be carried out. 1t is because il
was found that the cost of building, towing
and taking to pieces the raft which reached
New York in safety exceeds the cost of
shipping the same amount of lumber in
vessels. 1t appears that Mr.. Leary'S profits
were all on paper.

An Epidemic of Murder.

Every once in a while crime becomes
epidemic. There is some reason for think
ing that it is epidemic now. For some
weeks Europe and America have been
startled by the crimes of the Whitechapel
fiend, and now it seems there is murderous
fiend in Toronto. The last-named was
fooled partially in his attempt to commit
wholesale murder, but at least he is as
black as the one who is butchering women
in London.
Several days ago thirteen small packages
town some sixty miles from Toronto. They
bore the Toronto postmark, and were
directed to the heads of thirteen families,
in which we're a number of children. Each
package contained several pieces of candy,
neatly wrapped in tissue paper, on which
was marked the word, sample Each
piece of candy contained enough strych-
nine to kill child.
One of the packages was opened by Mrs.
John Cherry, who, supposing a Toronto
confectioner had sent her a sample of a
new candy, gave to each of her three
children one of the drops. The two older
children detected peculiar taste in the
candy and ate only minute portion of it.
They were seized with slight commissions,
but their lives were saved The third child,
3 years old, ate less sparingly, and died a
short while afterward. The other twelve
packages were not delivered, and thus
numerous deaths were averted, and the
London horror was not eclipsed by the
Gait horror. Are not such crimes as these
in Toronto and London the work of insane
persons 1t is beyond belief that men in
the full possession of their senses would
commit them
