but of markets. The country is seething with the excitement of commerce on the grand scale, and the feeling is fercest, as it is most concentrated, in Berlin. This en- ergy in people is not to be condemned; tar from it. The quality is our own, and to it we owe our success. Nor could any but a mean-spirited nation see, year after year, numbers ranging from 100000 to 25O, 900 of its inhabitants pass to strange lands un- der alien government without striving in some way to find country for them where they will not be utterly lost to the father land. Commercial energy and colonial en- terprise are we'll enough in themselves, the pity is when they become master passions to the exclusion of all else. The commercial element in England has been termed by an outspoken fellow>countryman, Phillistine. Would that some German Matthew Arnold might arise in Berlin, and, braving the thunder of elder and younger Bismarck alike, hold the mirror up to his fellow-citi- zens. The British Philistine, indeed! Judged by the stannard of his German brother, he may claim, at least, Samar- tan's kinship with the chosen people.

A Miracle.

We find the following item among
the dispatches from Johnstown, Pa,
to the Tines Democrat, under date of
June Sd, the event having occurred in
the Catholic church, at that place, dur
ing the recent disaster in the Cone
maugh valley:
The miracle, as it is called, that
happened at the Church of the 1mmac-
ulate Conception has caused a tremen-
dous sensation. A large number OF
persons will testify as to the nature Of
the event, and, to put it mildly, the
circumstances are really remarkable.
Friday night when the water descend,
ed on Cambria City the church was
filled with people, but when the noise
of the flood was heard the congrega.
ton FASTENED to get out of the way
They succeeded as far as escaping
from the interior is concerned, and in a
few moments the church was partially
submerged, the water reaching fifteer
feet up the sides. The building was
badly wrecked, the benches We're tori
out, anfi in general, the entire struc
ture, both inside and out, was fairly
dismantled. Yesterday morning wher
an entrance was forced through TIT
blocked doorway the ruin appeared tt
be complete. One object alone hat
escaped the waters wrath. The Bles
sed Virgin, that had been decorated
and adorned because of the May devo
tons, was as unsullied as the day j
was made. The marks on the wal
showed that the statue, which is onl.
three feet high, though the surface 0
the water had risen to a height of I'll
teen feet, had been saved from al
contact with the liquid. Every on
that has seen the statue and its sui
roundings is firmly convinced the Incl
dent was miraculous one, ard eve
to the most skeptical the affair SAVIOR
of the supernatural.

SENSIBLE TALK.
ALEXANDRIA, La,
June 6, 1889.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT

DEMOCRAT
Will you allow me little space in
your paper to say few words to the
planters and farmers about breeding
better horse stock. Farmers are cred
tied with looking closely after their
own interests in buying and selling,
employing help, etc, and one wonld
naturally suppose they would be quite
as mindful of what is to their advan-
tage when it comes to considering
their farm stock. That is not the
case, however,-the great majority of
farms of the country will give evil
dence of. This is the case with less
expensive kinds of stock, and it is
still more so with horses. Only
small number comparatively are will
ing to pay enough to secure the servi-
ces of a first-class stallion, but patron
ize an inferior brute because they can
do so for less money. The fact that
colt by good sire will sell for dou-
BILE, or even more what the other will
bring is not taken into consideration.
They spend FIVE or ten dollars less at
the start, and after having the trouble
and expense of raising the colt, find
he is worth fifty or hundred dollars
less than one by better sire would
have brought.
A Western gentleman writing on
this subject says-"I have found, out
one thing, aud that is, it is terrible up
hill work to educate the average far.
: mer to use good horses. They will
) pay ten prices for seed grain, and ye
the profit in grain raising is not ont
quarter, under favorable circumstances
,, what it is in raising horses" Many
an owner of good horses can bear ties
S timony to the same effect. He has Sc
cured at heavy expense a valuable
animal, and finds often that the price
:. for the service must be governed by
what is charged for horses in tn
neighborhood not worth one third tn
= money. If he does not lower the fee
q it is frequently the case after a yea
: or two he has kept the horse with lit
+ tie patronage, the few colts sired b.
a him open the eyes of the neighbor
9 ing farmers, and he secures the pat
. ronage he should have had at firs'
There is an abundance of room 70
good horses all through the country
e and the sooner farmers buy and pat
# ronize these, and have the inferio
brutes, now doing duty in so man
; places as sires, to fill the position 9
e work horses, the better off they wi
l. be. Yours truly,
