A NEW SWINDLE.

Some Of the papers are telling of
a new swindle that has lately been
worked upon the farmers III Arkan-
sas. If Arkansas, it is only acting
on the side of good sense to be look
ing out for it in Georgia.
A wealthy looking old farmer ap-
pears in some locality and is anxious
to purchase farm. After some ne
gotiations a trade is made with
some one who wants to sell at a good
price for cash, and then $50 is paid
as earnest money until the purchas-
er can return to his home up north
for money with which to pay the
balance. Soon after he has left an.
other party comes along, and is SO
highly pleased with the farm that
he offers $1,000 advance on the
price of the first purchaser. This
stimulates the farmer into an effort
to buy back the first contract, which
he succeeds in doing by paying
back the $50 already advanced and
adding $500 to it. The farm is now
ready for the second purchaser,
where, oh ! where is he? Never
again does oe appear on that partlc-
lar scene. In word, the farmer is
out $500, and the confederate swim
dies are in $3.50 each. The farmers
should be on their guard against
this seductive bate thrown out for
them to ''gobble up"

There is a lady in this place who
has singular experience about
reading. When she was about
twenty years old she was converted
and joined the church. She did not
know how to read, just barely knew
her letters, and she was very anx-
ious to read the Bible. She got her
sister to help her read three chap
tiers in the Bible and then she took
it up herself and can read the Bible
as fuently as any one and pronounce
all the proper names correctly. The
strange part of it is that she cannot
read anything else but the Bible.
She cannot get any sense out of a
newspaper or any other k.-Elli-

THE MORTGAGE.

We worked through spring and winter,
through summer and through fall,
But the mortgages worked the hardest and
the steadiest OF them ALL
1t worked on nights and Sundays, il worked
each holiday;
1t settled down among US and never went
away.
Whatever we kept from il seemed almost as
bad as theft;
1t watched us every minute and it ruled US
right and left,
The rnst aud blight were with us sometimes
and sometimes not;
The dark. hrowed, scowing mortgages was
forever on the spot.
The weavil and the cut worm, they went as
well as came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating hearty
all the same.
1t nailed up the window, stood guard at
every door,
And happiness and sunshine made their
place with US no more.
Till with failing crops and sickness, we got
stalled upon the grade,
AND there came dark day among us when
the interest wasn't paid;
And there came sharp foreclosure and
kind o lost my hold,
And grew weary and discouraged and the
farm was cheaply sold
And The children lett and scattered when
they hardly yet were grown;
My wife pinned and persisted, and | round
myself alone
What she dIed Of was a mystery and the
doctors never knew;
But | knew she died of mortgave--iust as
wells wanted TO.
If to trace hidden sorrow we're within the
doctors art,
They'd "a found mortgage lying on that
poor woman's heart.
Worm or beetle. drought or tempest, on a
farmers land may fail,
But for frst-class ruination trust mort
gage gainst them all.

McOOnnh ON His meftle.

SACRAMENTO, February 2S.-Before the
joint committee engaged in the investi-
cation OF prison matters, Warden Nc
Comb this evening testified that no one
except the Board of Directors ever con-
trolled his policy at San Quentin.
He explained that various expressions
in the letters were meant
to be facetious and not serious.
McComb said he desired publicly to
apologize to Devlin for having disre-
spectfully referred to him. The in
creased expense of the prison referred to
in another letter, he said was due to
more prisoners. The "get Boruck to pull
down the Depue" letter he said meant
that it was desired that Depue's views
in regard to the establishment OF jute
office in San Francisco should be
changed.
During the process of the investigation
Senator White asked what was meant
by the statement that the road didn't cost
anything, producing McComb's letter
book, where on page 629 ap-
peared detailed statement of
improvements made at San Quen-
tin from January /, 1888, footing up
$25, ,279. He also produced page which
had been torn from the book where the
same items in the same handwriting
footed up $8,S22. The pages were letter
press copies Of statements made out for
the warden by his clerk, and McComb
said they were not official, but merely
represented the estimated value OF work
which really cost nothing.

PEsTH, February 2S.-A stormy scene
was enacted in the Lower House of the
Hungarian Diet to-day, the resumption
of the debate on the Army bill giving
rise to violent demonstration by mem
bers of the opposition. After several
members had presented their objections,
Tisza rose and attempted to reply, but
his voice was drowned by torrent OF
Kisses and groans from the opposition.
When order was in a measure restored,
the Prime Minister charged his oppo-
nents with attempting to drag the Grown
into struggle, and declared that the
youth of Hungary had been led astray
by false issues. He was repeatedly in
terrupted, and. finally, amid great up
roar, the Diet adjourned.
