A Movable Headlight.

Exchanged
An improved headlight for locomo.
tives has an adjustment which allows
the engineer to direct the light as he
may desire to various points off the
line. The lantern is supported on a
frame or platform, which has move.
ment to right or left about a vertical
axis, and also up or down by the
same means, the operating mechanism
ending back to the cab, so as to be
within ready reach of the engineer.
He is enabled by this arrangement to
examine dangerous or doubtful parts
Of the roads, and, IN stormy weather,
to turn the light upon threatening
trees or masses of earth or rock upon
either side, and which are liable to
fall. The device also permits of the
lantern being turned SO as to throw
the light across sharp corners and ex-
hibit the line of track at some dis
lance ahead of the train and at points
which would be entirely out of reach
of the light in its usual fixed position.
According to the usual construction
and employment Of locomotive head
lights, they are fixed to the engine
front in such manner that the
light is always thrown forward and
concentrated in one line only--this
being, of course, an inadequate ar
rangement in the case of sharp
curves.

SANDER.

Anybody can soil the reputation of
an individual, however pure and
chaste, by altering suspicion that
bis enemies will believe and his
friends never hear of. A puff OF the
idle wind can take a million of the
seeds of the thistle and do work of
mischief which the husbandman must
labor long to undo, the floating par
ticles being too fne to be stopped.
Such are the seeds of SANDER, so easily
sown, and SO difficult TO be gathered
up. and yet SO pernicious in the fruit.
The slanderer knows that many a
mind will catch up the plague ard be-
come poisoned by his insinuations,
without ever seeking the antidote, and
mischief is done.-Ex.

Selected From the Citizenship Of the
Territories.


Territories.
Chicago Tribune.l
The national Republican platform
of 1888 declared: "Pending the
preparation for Statehood, all officers
thereof should be selected from the
bona fide residents and citizens of the
Territory wherein they are to serve. -
The Democratic platform OF 1884
affirmed the same sentiment in these
words: "The selection of federal
officers for the Territories should be
restricted to citizens previously resi-
dent therein" and reaffirmed it in
the platform of 1888. Grover Cleve-
land, it is hardly necessary to say, 10
his Territorial appointments never
consulted the restrictive qualifications
for which his party had declared, but
made his appointments from the out
side, even in the face of Territorial
remonstrances, to reward partisan
services. In significant contrast with
his course President Harrison in the
four Territorial nomin atoms he has
sent to the Senate stands squarely up.

made the appointments in Dakota,
Montana and Washington thus far
from bona fide residents OF the Terri.

that he will continue this policy so
long as he is able to find competent
persons to ell the offices, with the excep-

Three-fourths of our people are
troubled with Dyspepsia or Liver
Complaint in some form or other,
which by nature of the disease has a
depressing influence on the mind or
body, preventing them from thinking
or acting clearly in any matter of i'm
portance. Indigestion, coming up of
food after eating, dyspepsia, sick head
ache, acidity of the stomach or any
arrangement of the stomach or liver
upon which the whole action of our

fectually overcome by the use of

stubborn cases have yielded to its in
fuence, as thousands of letters receiv-
ed will testify. The immense sale of
this medicine is another guarantee of
it's merits, lover a million and a half

the above diseases when you can have

A Highway Robbery.

While justice A. M. Scott and John
#. Smith, of townsville, were return
ing home in buggy at late hour
last Saturday evening from Williams
port, their horse was stopped and the
buggy surrounded by five men near
Berry's station. The magistrate was
dragged from the buggy, beaten
about the head and kicked by several
of the men, the others soon overcom-
ing Mr.. Smith, whose right arm was
broken a short time ago bya kick
from a horse. After robbing Mr..
Smith of eighty dollars and justice
Scott of sixty dollars, the robbers
escaped and there is no clue to them,
neither of the victims being able to
identify their ASSISTANTS. Mr.. Smith
had five hundred dollars with him,
besides the amount taken, but the
highwayman did not find this money.
The following morning he found four
hundred and eighty dollars OF it in
the buggy and scattered along the
road near the scene of the robbery

Farm and Household.

AoRo AdOtCHCu Ou DdIlcJ anu ClO-
yer hay are reported to make super
Tor meat with large portion of lean.
If water will freeze in the hem
house it is too cold, and you can not
make your hens profitable for their
eggs this year
German Beef Cakes.-Take equal
parts of cooked beef, chopped fine,
and soaked bread, one onion, one
egg, salt to taste; make into flat
cakes and fry.
If steamed meat is left in the liquor
to cool off, it will be found to have
absorbed back much of the goodness
Of the soup, and will be so much the
more nutritious as food.
Vegetables with strong flavor,
such as onions and turnips, will be
much improved by putting them to
boil in cold water, renewing this from
kettle of boiling water as soon as it
comes to scald.
Corn left standing in the field is
not only injured by exposure, but the
shocks become the harboring places
of rats, mice and other vermin, which,
with birds and rabbits. destroy or
waste large portion of the grain.
To prevent tin from rusting, rub
fresh lard over every part of the dish,
and then put it in a hot oven, heat it
thoroughly. Thus treated, any tin
ware may be used in water constantly,
and it will remain bright and free
from rust indefinitely.
Never change the food of the cows
entirely or they will shrink in milk.
II change is desired, let it be done
by degrees. When a COW once falls
off in milk it is more difficult to bring
her back to her flow than to so feed
her as to keep her as near her capac-
ity as possible.
Many farmers do not yet fully APP
preciate the value of bran as feed
ing material. For growing animals
it may form a considerable part of
the ration. Unusually it can be pur-
chased much cheaper in the fall than
during the winter-often for one
fourth less per ton, sometimes for a
third less.
Coffee Cream.-Beat one quart of
rich, sweet cream to froth, like the
white of eggs for icings then mix
with one-quarter pound of graduated
sugar, and shortly before serving,
beat into it one cup os cold coffee
extract, which has been made by
slowly filtering two cups of boiling
waterssthrough two ounces of finely
ground coffee. Serve in a glass dish
with lady fingers or fresh sponge
cake.

The question is not whether the people of the

of Brazil 1t is question of whether this gov
eminent may recognize with entire propriety a
government which the people Of Brazil have
not yet had the opportunity of approving or
disappearing. The courteous relations already
established between the United States Of Amer
lea and the United States of Brazil would seem
to be all that are required, for the present at
least. The United States Of America have
never yet failed in kind feeling or international
courtesy toward new republic. That such re-
public is American in name and fact is an ad-
ditional guarantee that we will do our national
