Correspondents of the Chicago
Farmers Review report that, with the
exception of u few counties, the con-
dition of winter wheat averages high
in all the states. The only discourag-
ing report comes from Michigan and
Wisconsin, where general complaint il
made of damage to wheat by the
changeable weather during the past
month. A few counties in Kansas re.
port some damage from the IIessiar
fly, but the majority of the reports
predict heavy crop for 1890.

Mr.. A. d. Baker, u successful dairy
man at Weedsport, N. Y, gives the
following as reason for the dairy
faith that is in him: "No farmer
should keep COW that does not make
pound of butter per day while CIV
ing milk. TO lessen the work in the
house in making butter do it Yourself.
You will then learn very rapidly TO
appreciate the benefits of the modern
appliances connected with this BUSH
ness, and the everlasting woman-kill-
ers-old pans, churns and ladle-will
be banished. We want more butter
conferences and more education. The
more corn we grow the more butter,
and the more butter the more corn.
Cows should be raised and kept in an
atmosphere of kindness. Animal heat
represents food and IT is plain we can
save food with less exposure. Always
have warm stable in winter, with a
temperature of so to 60 degrees. -

A bill is being considered by the
Virginia Legislature to incorporate the
Virginia, Missouri and Western rail-
way company. The object is to con-
struct road from Norfolk, Va, to the
junction in New Mexico of the Allan
tic and Pacific and Atchison and To-
peka roads, a distance of 1,6f0 miles.
The capital for the enterprise, it is as
serted, is nearly all English money
and $l0,OOO,OO0 in bonds of the compa-
ny have been sold in England. Bills
now in congress ask for the right of
way through the Indian territory and
the right to construct bridges along
the route. We are very near on line
between the terminal points of the
proposed road.

Ny fiddle? Well, kind o. keep her handy,

Though amt much inclined to tromp the
strings and twitch the bow
AS was before the t!mbers OF my elbows got
so dry,
And my fingers was more timber like and cap
erish and spry.
Yet can plonk and plunk and pink
And tune her up and play,
And just lean back and laugh and wink
At every rainy day.
My p:ayin's only mddlin'-tunes I picked up
when boy
The kind o soft o fiddlin' the folks call cor
duroy:
The Old lat gar AMI "Ryestraw" and MY
sailors on th" sea
Is the cOwtiIlions that saw when the chice Is
left 10 me.
And so plunk and plOak and pink,
And rosum up my bow,
And play the tunes that made you think
The devils in your toe.
That's how this dear Old hddle's won my heart )
enduTin' love!
From the strings across the middle to the
screrchin' up above
From her apern. over bridge and to the ribbon
round the throat.

And so pat her neck and pink
Her strings with lOvln hands.

one OF the old relics of the old
navy, the United States steamship Iro-
quuis, has arrived at Port Townsend,
Washington Territory, after a rough
experience. She has been drifting about
in the Pacific Ocean for nearly three
months, going 300 miles out Of her
course, and her officers and crew are
fortunate in getting back to dry land.
The IrOquOIs was built nearly 80 years
ago, and did good service on the Ms
sss!Ppi during the war. Since that
time great deal of money has been
expended on her to keep her aloat- Her

but she was miSerably slow, and proba-

service but for the loss OF other vessels
at Apia. Her recent troubles were due
70 the breaking Of piston rod
and her inability to sail against head

WHEREVER there is disposition to
DO useful work it can always be found
to lie done. One OF the great causes
OF id.eness and thriftlessness in all
lands is Indifference among working
men ard extravaganza in domestic
management. Willing hands are never
wholly Idle. Duties press so closely
on men aud women with proper con-
ceptions OF the worth OF living, as TO
keep them employed all the while, an
at the same time never overworking
them. There Is much IN the manner
Of doing work to escape being wearied
BY its performance, precisely as there
IS u method Of doing things, by which
people never appear to be idle Men
who acquire fortune and rise tO emf
hence are never idle and never really
exhausted. Such people have their time
Tor thought rs well as that for eXertiou,
aud it Is to the efforts OF such people
that the world owes the graEdeSt
achievements that glitter Oh its records
When boys ani men in any Place of
employment must be kept at work,
they are of no actual profit To their
employer. There Is no inspiration or
impulse in them. and as consequences
they are not of the doers Of work who

,SCALCULABLE millions OF money
have been expended on the levees of
the Mississippi river-the banks Of the
Father Of Waters have cost more to
strengthen than it has been necessary
20 spend on any other river on the con-
tiueut, and still the mighty stream
bursts through all the supposed strong
guards erected by the genius and labor
OF men to keep its waters within their
channel. At the occurrence OF every
food in that river these fearful over
flows occur, carrying desoiation and de-
structiOn To life and property. Peo le
who have never seen an overflow of the
banks OF the Mississippi river can form
no cOucep' ion of its effects. In night,
temporary Lakes are formed miles In
breadths and lengths, and often deep
enough to submerge dwelling houses
and destroy the land on which they
stand. These horrors are now beng
reported at different points along this
river and Will continue to occur while
its turbid waters flow to the gulf de-
spite the efforts of men to prevent
them.

receive killing attentions. Hurt or harm

ceiyes no consideration. the opposition
must be killed-thus saith, through their
chosen political leaders, the people.
There is no culture in politics, but there
is point beyond which brutality is I'M
necessary. The people will ever applaud
g contest between equals, for they
can see that in such a contest es their
hope of good government. Why should
the people stand Idle and quiet when one
man or party, having the other down,
pses every foul means TO keep him under
foot and thus teach him the doctrine of a
political hereafter by mauling him and
dragging his political carcass until it is
worn to shreds2 1t is neither edifying
nor profitable. Still more disgusting and
dangerous is the spectacle, so frequently
presented, of some leader visiting upon
an inferior who has incurred his dis
pleasure, or who has refused to ackno WI
edge his dictatorship, the brutality of a
slave driver. The contumely of an in
ferior in position is the impertinence OF
child. To visit upon him the full
force and power of temporary. and, per-
haps, accidental superiority, is to dis
play nothing more than the strength
of the brute who belabors with
hand and foot the unfortunate weakling
who has offended him. 1t IS superfuous
to term this cowardice: it is, in politics,
better to regard such conduct as con-
fession of an inability to contend upon
equal terms. And yet it would not be
4 difficult to enumerate instances, within
the knowledge Of every reader, in whic b
the inferior has been followed in his
business and social relations with an
undying and an unmitigated persecu-
/ ton, as cruel as any Of the political OF

and IS universally acknowledged as q
leader. Ability must necessarily he pre-
requisite of such a contamination. in it's
ordinary aeceptation, il means the power,
by any methods. to reach a medium
height, where recognition comes IN the
shape of certain fixed remuneration. To
do this ability, except of a certain low
order is not necessary; and it Is here u t

opening of the lines of communication
which have unified our country and Gre
ated our resources have come national
and State lepislational and supervision.
In this legisl alton, aud the hands to
which ii is delegated, rests the great dan
ger to which our liberties and our pros
perity, our national existence is exposed.
1t is the people who, by their own acts,
delegate these legislative powers-to
whom2
1t may be safely assumed in this nine
teenth century that the value of promi-
nent citizen, whose prominence is derived
from his political activity. is gagged by
his conduct toward and treatment OF
those with whom. in the course of his
chosen avocation, he is brought i'll con-
tact. 1t will also be granted that the or
binary rules which govern mankind are
equally applicable TO the class which we
are accustomed to regard as politicians.
1t follows, if these propositions be
true, that those who most nearly approach
the rules of intercourse which the expe-
rience of ages has shown TO be the best
adapted to humanity in its relations to
its component parts, should bs the most
successful as politicians.
But is this true1
1t needs but a glance at the political
arena of to-day to establish the fact
most apparent, that q sincere regard fol
the laws which society has established
for its own protection is by no mean:
necessary to insure political success. Il
therefore becomes proper subject o.
inquiry and action upon the part of al
whose earnest efforts are directed to the
task of improving our systems Of parti
san politics. And in these inquiries it il
