A farmer in East Corinth, Me-,
wouldn't give a copper for bounty
on crows. He is able to take care
of his own property. When he
gets his corn planted he carries out
two coops, each holding rooster,
and sets them on the two ends of
his field. AS soon as it begins to
grow light the roosters begin to
challenge each other and their music
scares all the crows away.

The Arkansas Democrat breaches
sound doctrine when it says: 'The
sensible policy for Democrats to
adopt under the Harrison admins
tration is the policy founded on
right and justice. Everything for
the greatest good to the country,
nothing for mere politics. When
Harrison is right, sustain him,
when he is wrong fight him and fight
him hard and vigorously. But
all the time keep to the front Dem
cratic principles: No taxes beyond
the simple requirements of the gov
eminent, honest and economical
government, simple and clean meth
DDS, honesty and fidelity to every
trust, and a government of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the peo-
pie. All this without regard to
Harrison and the Republicans"
This is the national, not the Sec
tional spirit, and we believe it will
be echoed by every Democratic
journal of consequence in the South.

OF all the cowardly, unmanly acts
in the whole range Of sin, lie is the
most contemplate. To a healthy
mind deliberate lie is impossible !;
it is absolutely incompatible with
an honest self-respect. No matter
whether the lie be discovered or not
the uttterer is conscious that he is
a liar when he looks at himself in
the mirror. The man who lies, and
has ceased either to feel shame or
sorrow for falsehood, is the most de-
graded being imaginable-far be-
meath the maniac and idiot. He
can only be execrated or pitied.

1t is illegal in the state of Geor-
gia to give any kind of intoxicating
liquors to minors. Perhaps many
persons who put wine upon their
tables for young persons to drink do
not know that such is illegal con-
duct and is subject to indictment
before the courts of the state. This
is the case, however, and some day
there will be trouble in the camp"
when some mothers boy becomes in
toxicated upon wine and the lady or
gentleman who furnished it is in
dicted.

On July IA, 1867, John Smith
murdered a man near Louisville.
He escaped from Jail and went to
Australia, where he went into the
sheep business and became wealthy.
Recently his desire to revisit his
native land overcame his fear of
punishment and he stealthily re-
turned. He has been located in
Kansas and will probably yet be
called upon to pay the long deferred
penalty OF his crime.

PRESIDENT HARRISON.

rain, and in the presence of about
100000 people, Benjamin Harrison
was sworn in as President of the
United States for four years, on
March 4. Justice Fuller admins
tered the oath. President Harri-
ton then proceeded to read his in
augural address, with his overcoat
buttoned up to his throat and his
silk hat on his head, while the SER
geant-at-arms held an umbrella over
him to keep the rain from drowning
him. Ex-President Cleveland was
near by and received his portion of
the baptism of the falling rain,
while the thousands who stood in
front of the platform took the ''wet-
ting as enthusiastically as if the
salvation Of Republican govern
ment depended upon it.
The inaugural address was of
conservative coloring, and did not
bristle with sectional porcupine
quilts to any great extent, but he
fully believes that the negro vote is
suppressed in the South, and he
coolly tells the Southern whites
who have protection" proclivities
to tally yourselves with the negro"
and become power OF strength.
He thinks "civil service" is too
mythical to grasp, and assures Re-
publicans that party service will
not disquality them from being ap-
pointed to Office by him.
1t IS generally conceded that his
Cabinet is made up of very weak
material - political figure-heads -
and not capable of giving much
strength to the administration.
The following is the cast of char
acters:
Secretary of State-James G.
Blaine, of Maine.
Secretary of the Treasury-Wm.
Window, of Minnesota.
Secretary of War-Redield Proc
tor, of Vermont.
Secretary of the Navy-Benjamin
+. Tracey, of New York.
Secretary of the Interior-John
w. Noble, of Missouri.
Postmaster-General-John Wan
namaker, of Pennsylvania.
Acknowledgement = w. H. II.
Miller, of Indiana.
Secretary of Agriculture-Jeri-
miah Rush, of Wisconsin.
Now, as the Republican admins
tration moves on-thoroughly Re-
publican from President down to
both branches of Congress--the
spollsmen tor place and profit will
begin their fight and scramble.
Under President Cleveland the
Democracy gave the country an
honest, prosperous and economical
administration. No jobbery or po-
litical corruption soiled the official
or personal character CT President
Cleveland He was truly a grand
President-honest and just, true to
his convictions, hard worker and
a faithful public servant. In re-
firing he carries the respect and
esteem of all tair-minded people,
while his lovely and beautiful wife
endeared herself in the hearts of
the people as no Gladly OF the White
House" ever did before.

OYSTERS ON TREES.
Bivalves Growing on Mangroves Dow
in Honduras.

Bivalves Growing on Mangroyes Down
in Honduras.
From Forest and Stream.
Business recently called me to Hondu-
ras, and | have just now returned well
pleased with my trip.
l have often heard of oysters growing
on the trunks and branches of trees
groves of living green umbrageous trees,
with oysters growing upon them-and nv
friend and | set aside one day to inyesti-
gate the fact Our dory cut the water like
knife and slipped along rapidly, with
hardly ripple in her wake, and in about
half an hour we had left the sight of the
town, with its convent and shipping and
soldiers barracks away behind us.
We were then nearly abreast of an island
called Moho Caye. The front of it is en-
powered in graceful cocoanut trees. and the
back part trends off into swamp and is COW
cred with dense growth of the red man
grove. This mangrove tree grows in
either fresh or salt water swamps. and
even in water three or four feet deep. The
limbs OF the trees send shoots or roots
down into the water, and thus a thicket of
mangroves is matted mass of trunks and
limbs and roots. On these limbs and
trunks and roots, deep down under the
surface of the water, cling punches and
single oysters, and thus are formed the
the oyster groves 1 had heard of. The
leaves of these trees are of beautiful dark
green, and the swamp islands from dis
tance look like fairy bowers.
We poled our dory around to the south
OF the island, but could not get very near,
as we were scraping bottom all the time.
We passed over numerous oyster beds
while doing so, and with an ordinary rake
which had been provided, we hauled
aboard lot of the oysters. They were
small and fiat, and the shell looked more
like fiat clam than an oyster. But the
inside tasted all right, and our boatman
swallowed that down with a relish. | did
not care much for them myself, except as
curlosltles, for the mud that stuck to them
did not smell appetizing. Bliff turned his
nose up and would not touch them.
| was anxious to get some of the speci-
mems growing on the green limbs, with
leaves attached, but we could not get near
enough to the trees. for our cutter-canoe
drew no less than three feet. Our boat
man would not go overheard after them, as
ne said shar ks were too plentiful, SO after
spending an hour or two pottering around,
we pulled up stakes and passed to the
south of the town and around a point called
Tela's Folly. Here we passed more oyster
beds, and in approaching the shore found
good hard bottom.
There were some mangrove trees in the
water, isolated from those on the banks,
and by taking in all sail and by working
around with pushpole, we managed to
get near them. With cutlass in hand our
boatman stripped and jumped overheard,
and In little while he brought us some
fair specimens of limbs with oysters at
tached, but he had hardly returned on
board when two shark fins were seen cut
ting the water over the spot where he had
been chopping.

From lurid literature and bewitchingly

The San Francisco Gail discovers that
slowly but surely the press of the country
is coming around right in its Judgment
concerning the interstate commerce law
and its effect upon American roads driven
into unequal and unfair competition with
the Canadian Pacific. 1t could scarcely
be otherwise. The equities Of the Ameri-
can transcontinental roads in that issue
are SO pronounced and clear, that it is i'm
possible Tor the press to reach any other
conclusion than this, that if the protec-
tion doctrine is worth anything at all, it
must be invoked for the shielding of
American roads from the commercial con-
quest the Canadian Pacific seeks to make
of American courier business.

more strangers were in Sacramento the
