The following is taken from one of our ex.
changes in the northern part of the State and
should be read by every farmer in the county !:
1.-TWO fellows are making the rounds in the
vicinity 70 swindle farmers by rather an
cient game but on smaller scale than us ual.
The first fellow, hale aad well met, is in quest
off good horse. He finds one that suits him
exactly. A bargain is made and in order to
secure it the buyer pays from $40 to s15 as
earnest money agreeing to return in two
Eeeks. In n few days another we'll dressed
stranger calls. he also wants to buy horse
and finds one that will just match his horse at
home. Unluckily for the farmer it happens
to be the same one sold few days previously.
The second fellow, in such an apparently
earnest manner, desires the farmer to sell him
the horse and offers S75 above the price for
which it has already been sold. Tho farmer,
unable to resell the horse, asks the fellow to
call in two weeks Qf the farmer does not the
stranger makes the proposition) and agrees to
make the sale at that time. No. arrives on
time to take the horse, the farmer offers to pay
back his $40 or $t5 and $25 more If he will
declare the sale off. The game is worked and

II is not luck, saws an exchange that make,

IT is not luck says an exchange, that makes
one man Gail and bis ncishbor succeed; 1t is
not tickle fortune that brings cloads of diff
ficulties upon one while another has compare
lively plain sailing. 1t is something far more
c.rrnin in its operations than either of these.
1t is skill and perfect command of his
resources that enables one man to advance
where another can make no progress; and
these two qualities are possessed only by those
who have made their business the one. thing
they must bccome familiar with. The world
Is not yet SO crowded that any need so to the
wall to support the rest; for there is room for
~, and an abundance TO spare. The great
want Is for men who are well qualified for
work, and who will put their shoulders to the
wheel and push. Any person who is deter
mined to win, and who unites with his perse-
yerance has sense enough to know that success
comes only to those who deserve 1t by the
patience and skill with which they toll, hns
before him an inviting field for labor, and
may enter It with the assurance that, II his
efforts are rightly directed, they will meet

Some o. tile papers Of Mexico are opposing
the proposition that O. colony of American
pc ,rses be formed in Mexico. But it was re-
presented few weeks ago that the govern
inent Of Mexico had already given its consent.
Itisnot probable that an emigration ofnegroes
70 Mexico would suddenly assume such pro-
portions as to ilconyenicnce either Mexico or
the Southern States. A sudden emigration
might involve the South in. labor difficulties,
and it might give rise to social questions in
Mexico difficult to solve. But gradual move
ment would produce no such complications.
The New Orleans Times Democrat thinks the
movement will grow to large proportions. But
possibly this thought is born of q hope that
Lou siana may get rid of some of its negro
p.pulation.-Denver Republican,.

A month 20 John Pickett expiated his crime
OF murder on the gallows in Georgia, but the
memory of the event has been reawakened in
a remarkable manner. A report comes from
Sumpter county that Pickett is still alive in
that portion of the State. 1t is said thatafter
thc hanging the body was taken in charge by
friends, who worked successfully at resucits-
tion. If Picket is still alive aud isappreher-
ell, the question is whether he can be further
punished. He has been declared legally dead,
and the case will prove unparalleled i'll the
history of the State.

SECOND WEEK OVER,
And the Exposition People Smile as
They Count the Proceeds.
THE SHOW is A DECIDED SUCCESS.
From 1000 to 5000 ExcursiOnists We're
Present Yesterday.
THE ADVANTAGES QUITE APPARENT

The second week of the Exposition emo
ing to-day, has brought surprises Win IL to
both the public and management.
Even at the beginning OF the week tne
Exposition was nothing more than tneory'
but now its practical use has been Demon
strated.
1t is certainly a pleasant thing for Pitts
burg merchants to see some z,VOo 10 o,oVV
exeursionists in this city who would not oe
here IL they had not the money and the
time to spend. When these 5000 excursion
lists run up to Il, 600 or 5000, even 2O,OOO
daily. as they will very soon, then the
practical utility ofsuch a magnificent ana
popular Exposition will be seen.
The attendance during the week has been
more than fair; it has been large, and II in
creases every day, and at the present rate OF
progression some outside amusement must
be devised by the fertile minded manage
ment to take care of the tremendous crowds
expected next week.
One thing has been shown during the
great attendance of this week, and that is
the interest displayed by outside visitors,
not only in the Exposition itself, but also IN
the city. People from the country nave al
ready fallen into the habit of dropping
around in the Exposition early In the oay'
when the large crowds do not interfere with
a careful examination of anything interest
ing. Thev are thus enabled to fully appre-
ciate the remarkably perfect exhibits in
everv sense, and to pass hours, II they WISH,
in making a careful survey OF the art galleries,
when thev have all the time necessary. rms
enables them to devote certain portlon OF
their time to outside amusements and Manager
Gulick. of the Bijou, recognizing this, is
negotiating for the privilege of putting up
handsome sign on the grounds.
