Mr.. j. II. Downs lost valuable mare last
week. She was found lying dead in brook
In the pasture with one hind leg broken.
The leg was evidently broken before she
went to the brook. and after getting into the
mud and water could not extricate herself.

Downs for Boston house. He employs 40

Sold Fact :.

The speech OF the late Secretary Win
dom contained n most remarkable con-
densation Of facts. Here is a single SEN
tence:
ain manufactures we exceeded Great
Britain in 1880 by S1,5s9,a7o. lol, France
by 81, ,1l5 CO., 200, aud Germany by
s., 305, coo, coo"
That single statement demolishes The
free-trade assumption that we have no
aptitude fer manufacturing, and that 1t
were better that we should pur base our
manufactures abroad, Here are two
sentences which challenge attention:
"In 1880 our home markets consumed
about ten billion dollars worth of our
own products, all amount equal to the
entire accumulated wealth of Spain,
three times the increase Of wealth In
Great Britain for ten years, and seven
times the increase of France for the same
period Our home markets that year alb
sorbed five times as much Of our nam
featured products as Great Britain ex-
ported of hers to oil the markets OF the
world -

Mixed Relationship.

Some years ago two farmers Of Polk
County, Tenn, lost their wives by
death. They naturally felt lonesome,
and in due time began to think a
second wife in each household would
be most excellent addition thereto.
They were neighbors and friends, and
each had family of children, includ
ing one or more grown daughters.
After careful consideration, each took
the others daughter as his second wife.
Through these marriages children were
born to each. These children now re-
side in Polk County. What was the
relationship between.the men and their
wives, and in what relationship did the
children stand to each other and to the
old folks? The old farmers we're
f,.thers-i law to each other anl also
