1t IS to be hoped that France can see
the reciprocity of the thing enough to
let the American hog go in while the
Gallo wines pass him westward; but it
should not be expected that the reci-
procity shall extend to the removal of
the duty on the wines. French wines
are not very considerable matter in
this country except in name. and in no
great time there will be little imported
from any quarter. A large portion of
that sold under French labels is made
from California or Erie vineyards, or
has its transformation i'll cellars. But
the French need the hog.

President
Morton.

He knows all about stock and can tell
you the names of the best-milking COWS
of the country. He runs to Guernsey
cattle and he has, perhaps, as many reg
lstered COWS as any fine breeder
in the country. A great many of
his cows were brought over from Eu-
rope. and, like Senator Palmer, he pre-
fers to SEND his own farmer over to pick
them out. 1t makes him smile more to
have one of his cows take premium at
a county fair than to make a good real
estate speculation, and ne has number
which have taken prize after prize. He
gets weekly reports from his farm, and
another of his fads is fine wool sheep.
He spends much of his summer on
the farm, and he has a magnificent
residence upon it. Speaking of Senator
Palmer, his fads are Percheron horses
and Jersey cows. He imported some of
the best animals he has himself, and he
expects eventually to make his farm
profitable.
Justice Lamar is well up on Jersey
COWS, and he has number of fine regis
tered animals on his farm i'm Missis-
slppi. He is tired of farming, however,
and in the troubles that seem to sur
round the South he wishes that the farm

point blank as to whether he made any
money in farming, writes Frank Car
penter from Washington. He replied:

have owned it for a long time. Part of

/ iIs but. Gen. Rusk, what is the differ
ence between a farmer and an agri-
culturist?''
"a farmer replied Uncle Jerry. with
laughing eyes, lis man who runs his
farm for all the money there is in it,
VINO does not waste on fool expert
ments. and who, as a general thing,
comes out at the end of the year with
good profit. An agricuiturist is the
5oretical farmer. a man who puts more
money into the land than he ever
gets out of it, and one who is always
trying some experiment to make fort
une and seldom makes cent. Well, I
have been both, and while was farm
er l made money. l believe there is
money in farming to-day if the proper
business brains are used in running
farm, and l doubt not that matters will
finally regulate themselves, and the
farmers will again become prosperous"

After half an hour the electrodes were

back or contortions on the face. The body
was unstrapped and taken from the chair
and placed on table.

The chair for the condemned was made of
heavy oak, and resembled an ordinary re-
clining-chair. The incline of tho occupant
was about that of a man in barber's chair.
There were adjustable sliding foot and head
rests. The cap for tho condemned was put
on in his cell by tho Warden, In the pres
cnce of sheriff and n physician. In the
cap was an electrode or metal plate covered
with a sponge saturated with salt water. A
strap fastened to the cap was carried down
under the arms and secured to q strong
belt around tho chest. On one foot was
placed special shoe fitted with an
electrodo. The electrical resistance of the
subject was determined In the cell by means
of reliable instruments. Tho condemned
was then conducted to the execution room
and placed I'm a recumbent position in the
chair, to which snaps were fastened to the
chest-belt and ankle-straps. The electrodes,
pressing slightly on head and feet, were
connected with flexible wires passing
through the chair and running to the dyna-

At Auburn, N. r., with tho rising OF the

history as tho first man executed by elec-
tricity. Theprisoner was awakened at FIVE
o'clock by the death watch, McNaugflton.
He appeared cool and dressed himself care
fully. At o'clock he ate light breakfast of
eggs, boefstenk, potatoes, and coffee. At
6:15 Warden Durston appeared and read
the death warrant. Up TO 0:30 Kemmler

Ink-Bottle smith.

A recent writer on prison life in
England, Mr.. +. w. Robinson, gives
many saddening descriptions of the
women who pride themselves on being
"hard cases." and who render the lives
of the officials both exciting and bur
densome. 1t occasionally happens,
however, that one of these prison
characters" may indulge in vagaries
more amusing than horrible. One
such was Ink-Bottle Smith, q woman
who risked all her privileges for the
sake of obtaining daily store of that
fluid.
She would take her thimble to school,
fill it with ink, and secrete it in her
hair. Then, on returning to her cell,
she would ingeniously construct an
ink-stand from this same thimble and
a bit of her dinner-loaf. When her
thimble was confscated, and careful
means were taken that she carried no
receiver to school, she still found
means to abstract ink from the bottles,
and thus keep herself well supplied.
One day she was returning from
school with the rest of the prisoners,
looking very grave and thoughtful,
but walking with unusual haste. She
would have dashed into her cell and
closed the door, had not the suspicious
matron followed her.
whats the matter, Snnith-are you
not we'll ?" was the inquiry.
Smith put her hand to her head, as
though schooling had been too much
for her.
"a headache?"
She nodded.
"Ahl it's not worth while putting
your name down to see the doctor for
that, is it?"
Smith shook her head, and gave
vent to murmuring noise.
"Then why don't you say SOP You
are not too i'll to speak"
Smith groaned and looked dismally
at the matron, who was scarcely able
to preserve the dignity of Office upon
detecting small black rivulet oozing
from one corner of the prisoners lips,
and meandering down her chin. De-
prived of her thimble, she had brought
the ink away in her mouth

He hesitated as the door was closed behind

on tho other side, as though no did not
