Bankrupt Stock.

l have purchased from tho sheriff sc
00O worth Of very stylish dry goods, boots
and shoes: a large assortment of ready
made clothing, the entire Stitch bankrup,
stock for $25,OOO; this gives me q marg.
in Of 3 1000, of which l am willing tc
give the citizens Of Adams and adjoining
counties about two thirds and have accord
ingly reduced prices from 81 to 80 pc,
cent. All goods are marked in plain fg.
ures 90 that purchasers can make thei,
own selections. Our sales for tho first
week have been away beyond our expect
atoms. Now that We have begun to ad.
~vertise We hope to attract the attention Of
neigboring cities and thereby increase our
sales. The stock Of fine dress goods il
entirely new and complete. Ladies from
neignbOring towns and cities should unite
and send q delegation to investigate. To
such representatives l will agree to pay
their railroad fare. 1 would suggest, i IN
order to give the granger a good show.
that they club together and buy 800, or
upwards, and I will arrange to give them
credit until after harvest. Sales are NOV.
ing along nicely. and those who come
soonest will reap the most profit.
P.S Since writing the above fine GRADES
of dress goods. ladies' plush and cloth
sacks and mems clothing have suffered
another reduction. ISAAC CAIN.

The submission amendment has
been passed by both branches Of the
legislature. The CHIEF feels pleased
over the fact, not however from q
prohibition standpoint, but because
the party redeems a pledge made to
the prohiDitionists and their friends
Of several years standing. There il
but little hope that the amendment
will be adopted, yet it will stop the
pickering Of third partyites, that the
republicans would not give them a
chanch to vote on it.

The prohibs who have been belit-
ting the republica. party Of this
state for . failure to have prohibition
amendment put before the people, a
now find food for thought in the fact
that the republicans we're for it to a
man almost while the prohibs propos-
ed friends, the democrats. were
squarely against it. The prohibition
lists should give the party credit, but
We don't look for it, from the fact
that they are not willing to own that
all the prohibition there is in the
land was given to the temperance pco.
pie by republicans.

The Cause OF Low Prices - Cattle.
Efforts are being made 70 discover the
cause Of the Low price Of cattle TO the
grower, Indefinite charges are made con-
tinualiy that the dressed beef men are to
blame for IL. There may besome truth in
this, but il cannot wholly account for the
apparent cheapness Of cattle. The mark
q for hogs has been remarkably stl6 for
Q number of months. The hog grover
cannot complain of low prices. II the
pork and beef packing monopUlies hold
the power to dspress the price oflivs stock
at viii, Why do they not lower the price Of
hogs - they have of cattle: The truth
the Low price Of cattle is due to the fact
that the supply Outruns the demand. A
glance ct The tshls Of the number Of cattle
returned for tsxstisa would prove this.
For the year 1854 tAs report shows that
six millions Of cattle vsfs returned from
the nine western ststss ard territories Do.
voted to cattle raising. In 1857 the nan
Der returned was nearly fourteen million
II tho figures for 1883 we're prepared
they would no doubt run into the twenty
millions. Whether these returns bs cor
rect or not is immaterial. They are IN
doubtedly underestimated. Nevertheless
these estimates prove that there has been
an enormous increase in the number OF
cattle since the palmy days whom live
stock fetched high prices. For that reas-
on, il is to the interest of the cattle grow
ers of the west to extend their market
and encourage the beef packing industries
They must find n to dispose OF
temOrary overprOduction. But this car
never be accomplished by a short-sighted
policy to restrict the free movement OF
cattle from one state to another by the
passage Of local inspection laws, nor BY
unwarranted hostility to the beef packing
industries, through whose energies the
vest Is able to supply not only America
but Europe with cheap beef,-Bee.

1t becomes our painful duty to re
cord the death of Frank +. Kent a
his home SIX miles southeast of Rcd
Cloud, Neb. January I'D, 1882. The
immediate cause Of his death was said
to be blood poisoning, though he has
been a sufferer for nearly two years
from a remarkably peculiar disease
that seemed to battle the skill of his
physicians. The parents, wife and
friends of Bro. Kent testify to his
uniform kindness and amiability in
all the rclrtions of life.
Ten years ago be gave his heart to
God consecrated his life to his ser
vice and made q public profession Of
religion. His faith was of that con
slant unwavering type, that inspired
every beholder with a sense of the
truth and reality of his profession.
He loved the church of his choice in
a sensible practible way, giving joy
fully Of his means time and thought
to her interests, in church matters
unasssning, yet always efficient and
useful.
During all his sickness no was com
posed and resigned, retaining his
mind to the last he attended in de-
tail to all his business affairs and tes-
titled constantly that the master was
with him to smooth his dying pillow.
HIS was not simply the victory of
conposure in the presence Of a fate
that he could not avert. but the Wet
DRY Of faith in Christ, which alone
has majesty in death. and in his pres
encc can triumph and sing.
Near the end he called his loved !
c to his side and gave to each
s~epentely, his dying advice, then
closing his eyes, and folding his
hands, asked God to take him. Thus
peacefully and triumphautly closed
his earthly probation of nearly thirty
three years. He leaves a wife, three
dear little boys, his parents. three
and . sister. to weep at his
grave, al of whom We commend 70
the friendship Of Him who will carry
our burdens, wipe our tears, and in
tic end give US backour buried Jewels.
His funeral was preached by the
sriter at the Ash Creek. NJ. f. !

The La France Rose.

+ A writer in Gardening Illustrated
speaks of the La France Rose as follows
OF exceptional and unique fragrance,
radiantly beautiful, more graceful though
not less gracious than the Provence
Rose, La France has come to be consid-
the expression, so to speak, of the most
perfect rose-hood. The distinctive char
acteristic which has brought La France
into such universal favor is it's habit of
continuous blooming. No sooner is one
set of flowers over when another appears,
and from the end of June till cut off by
winter frosts there is a constant success
sion out of doors, while, by the jud cious
management of plants under glass as
well, La France may be had in bloom
practically all the year around. 1t will
hardly be contested that La France may
be commended as one of the most fra
grant OF roses, yet too much stress can-
not be laid upon the advantage of find
ing this admirable quality in rose
whose universal cultivation might also
well be urged on half dozen other
grounds.
lin the winter we set out two small,
puny plants Of this rose, hardly expecting
them to live. Though still very small
each have bloomed and other buds are
forming It is one of the most exquisitely
beautiful roses we have ever seen and no
words can convey an idea of it's fragrance
which is peculiar-a delicious spiciness
which we do not remember in any other
rose.-ED. F. d.

Water Lilies.

Editor Floral Department.:
In the last AGRICULTURIsT notice your
remarks on Water Lilies. | enclose seeds
of the Sacred Lotus (Nelumbium speci-
osum) lit is the easiest possible thing to
make them germinate, just file nick in
the shell of each, not quite touching the
kernel-if the kernel is injured it will not
germinate- and put them in tumbler Of
water and they will be up in a week. But
they will not live in any soil but clay
mud. / have tried them in all sorts of
situations-lake with sandy bottom,
lake with muck bottom, holes in muck
deposits, etc., and while they will some
tunes lengthen out q miserable existence
for year they inevitably pine away and
die. In tub with clay | have grown
them for several years, and once | dug a.
hole in a mucky pond bottom, put in
about six bucketfuls OF clay with plenty
of manure, and put in seed of the rare
Crimson Nelumbium Leichardti from
Oceanica. 1t grew with the greatest
vigor and in few months pushed up a
great flower bud-but by this time the

vantages of lake or river front. But
we are considerably surprised at the
statement that this plant will not thrive
in any soil but clay or ''clay mud, and
would be glad to learn if any one else,
either in or out of the State, has had a
similar experience. Mr.. Sturtevant (the
water lily enthusiast of New Jer-
sey) states in his catalogue that he
has naturalized it in one corner of
mill pond where the mud is very rich,
and that in summer among an abund-
ance of noble leaves from one to two feet
in diameter, can be seen hundred buds
in all stages of development, and twenty
expanded flowers at one time. No where
does he state that it requires soil any
different from that in which ordinary
water lilies will flourish. We shall try
both clay and the mucky lake bottom
and see if our correspondents theory will
hold good in this part of the State.

each row being secured near the flowers

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
The Gardens of the Ocean.

The floor of the ocean has all the vari-
ETY. in hill, dale, mountain and valley
that we find upon the land. The gardens
of the ocean and other waters can be APP
preciated only by those who behold them.
Gazing down into the clear waters from
a placid surface, one sees with astOnish-
ment and pleasure the wonderful fora
fauna of the submarine gardens at the
bottom, which is over-spread with ver-
dure more varied in it's tints and shades
than the green of the land, far softer and
more graceful in it's undulatiOns than
the grass of our fields and prairies.
From this velvety carpet rise branches
of red and white coral, having attached
to them, like flowers and fruits, the most
delicate and beautifully colored shells
In and out, through their partings, dart
fish of strange forms and gorgeous hues.
Some amuse themselves i'll playful gam
bOls, as if fully conscious of the magnif-
cence by which they are surrounded,
while others quietly browse the tender
algue floating near them.
The formations of the coral insect are
not always in a perpendicular position !;
here they are shaped in upright or reclin-
ing trellises, there they wind in beautiful
convolutions over the soil of the Deep
covering it with all the richness of orie1i-
tai tapestry.
These charming parterres may be
viewed and studied by the aid of a water
telescope, which any man can construct
in a little time after this fashion,: Take
barrel and insert a large pane of clear
glass in the bottom, better if the glass is
cut round and the whole circle filed with
it, but a square glass will do !; attach the
barrel, bottom down, of course, to the
side of boat, sinking it far. enough so
the ripples of the esurface will not obstruct
the vision. Now you can gaze to your
hearts delight at the magic wonders be-
meath you; if you also use a good opera
glass the vision will be much aided.

Packing Cut Roses.
Palmetto, Fla.

Those desiring to send cut flowers to a
distant point by mail will doubtless find
the following directions, from Parks
Floral Magazine, useful. They apply to
other flowers as well as roses:
A florist recommends the use of boxes
fourteen inches square and two and one
half inches deep in which to pack cut
roses. A layer of clean damp moss is
placed in the bottom, on which the
blooms are laid in rows. The stems Of
the first two rows extend in opposite di-
rections, and in these rows the larger
