FARM FOR SlLE .

Owing to the advancing years Of
my father, ! have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav
ing neither time nor ability to car.
ry it on properly, | will sell il at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
is necessary For the benefit Of
those who are not, say it is one OF
the best farms on the Lamoillc
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as a floor. II was
in a fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du.
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex-
cellent state of repair and pleas.
1ntly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Morrstown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii.
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
Office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc,
all OF which are within 4 to =
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold few years since for $4,000
1t contains 200 or 2Iy acres. but
if desired will reserve a part Of it.
Terms for payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay OF secure $1,000.

In the give and take of social inter
course in New York, society women have
as much as they can do to pay debts
incurred, to return civilities, to attend
to the vast correspondence entailed by
the growth of their circle and response
bilities, and, worse than all, to daily go
upon rounds of calls among people
scattered between Washington and
Stuyvesant squares, and the neighbor-
hoods on either side of Central park.
The matter of days which, inscribed on
the cards of ones acquaintance, stare
one in the face from Dece III Der to April
with unrelenting reminder that there is
no eluding the vista of sociability thus
opened might occupy a chapter to it
self.
Dinner calls are obligatory; visits of
coincidence and congratulation as re-
current as ocean tides. A thousand
and one minor claims absorb the hours
set apart for outside service; and with
all this, many women find time for
classes, courses and lectures, and often
keep up studies in which their young
people are employed. Those who talk
of the rush of the London season should
reflect that what the English concen-
trate into three months, and put aside
in favor of a more leisurely and rational
existence, is by us spread over the en-
tire year. For in one way or another,
our business of pleasure goes on until
June, and is transferred to Newport or
Bar HarbOr. New York Cor Ladies'

Useful Things About the House.

The best thing in this world is to
know how to do things and be willing
to make ones knowledge available. A
shelf in the corner of a rather bare bed
room destitute of wardrobe is the diff
ference between comfort and discom-
fort. If it is neatly made, stained and
put up, and a pretty curtain, no mat
ter how cheap, hung il front of it, it is
a thing of beauty as W J! as comfort.
The power to shape, smooth and put
up a shelf is of inestimable value in a
home. Two rounded shelves, one
large, fitted and claInped, the other
small and set above it, for an inkstand,
makes a capital writing desk
1t is becoming the fashion now to
use the corners for cupboards, as in the
old times, and handy boy or man or
girl who knows the use of tools can add
UNNECESSARILY to the quaint appearance
and individuality of the home by add
ing these corner closets and cupboards
by putting up brass hooks where need
ed; by acquiring a bracket or a pic
ture; aiding in the acquisition of cur
tains, or making the cushion for chair
or a lounge.-Cor. Homemaker.

FraternaI Meetings.

The president of the National Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union has
written letter to the presidents of the
various state alliances proposing a
grand national campaign for the year
1891. The plan suggested involves the
holding of two or more alliance mass
meetings at different points in each
state, to continue two days or longer
according to the Judgment of the
brotherhood of the community. These
meetings will be held at the time most
convenient to farmers, and will be at
tended by the strongest and ablest
speakers of the country. 1t is proposed
that speakers from the west and north
west shall attend the southern meet
ings, and speakers from the south at
tend the meetings of the west and north

growing stronger and stronger day by

TAE clEcINNATl CONFERENCE.


Not Reform Organizations, as Such. But
Their Members as individuals Must Form
New Political Parties - Various Com
lpents on the Cincinnati Conference.
Col. Polk, at Greston, Ia, last week
said there are too many lawyes sent to
congress. That the only way to sue
coed is to send farmers there. The
alliance, he said, intended to go into
politics, but not into partyism. Some
by-stander asked him how about North
Carolina, and Senator Vance's remark
that on cloudy day he could not tell
the difference betwee an alliance man
and democrat. Col Polk lodged by
suggesting that the farmers would
have a new party in the next presi-
dental campaign.-North State.
President Polk, of the alliance, was
interviewed recently by a correspond
emit of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who re-
ported him ss saying: 81 believe we
will have candidate for president and
vice-president in 1892 and If no mis-
takes are made firmly believe we will
elect the next president of the United
States" This was shown to Col. Polk.
who says that he said nothing of the
kind. He holds that any new party or
any independent political action must
come through public conviction OF its
absolute necessity; that for such a
movement to succeed it must be inau.
gurated by the people, and they and
the world must see and feel that the
people lead in it and control it Pacific
Union.
We question very much whether the
iconoclastic attitude of Bro. Norton. of
the Sentinel, toward some of the ma
tional alliance leaders is in harmony
with either good Judgment, good taste
or the facts There exist many reasons
why some of the leaders from the south
should not jump headiong into shis
movement, and still be honest at heart,
and in harmony with the purposes Of

With $500, 900 to his credit, life in a
mining camp did not suit Mills, and he
returned to San Francisco and entered
upon a career that had never before and
never has since been equaled for ex-
travagance. Heindulged his passion for
gambling to its widest extreme, and
his losses during the two years that he
was enjoying an income from the mine
are estimated at between $500, 600, 900
and $500. 900, 900.
One night, after a week of dissipa-
ton, Mills was in Charles Maunce's sa
loon, on Market street, at the bar drink.
ing. About midnight the party, consist
ing OF half dozen wealthy mine own
ers, got to shaking dice for small stakes.
AS they drank the stakes began to in
crease, until finally they were throwing
out the cubes against corners Of $40, 900.
Mills luck was remarkably good, and
there was not a turn of the dice that he
didn't win
In the party was a member of the
Glittering Placer Mining Company by
the name of Glaister, who had lost
heavily during the night. At last, as
the dice turned against him and Mills
raked in $4,000 of his money, he be-
came desperate and said:
mills, let's play for a stake that's
worth something. You're in luck to-
night and will probably win, but I'm
going to force grin out of the devil if
l can You own a quarter interest in
the Glittering Placer mine. / own
quarter interest in the same mine. IN
stake my interest against yours on two
throws of the dice. I'll either go out of
this place richer man or a mighty
si0ht poorer one"
Mills was in a mood to be favorably
impressed by the proposition. and as
his luck was good he was confident of
doubling his interest in the mine. Its
a CO." said he, land well draw cuts to
see who has the first throw" The
throw fell to Mills, who caught up the
box and recklessly threw the five cubes
out on the bar. They turned up four
aces and tray. Mills smiled, and his
friends patted him on the shoulder.
AS white as a sheet, Glaister picked
up the box and with a nervous Jerk
turned the dice on the bar An instant
they spun about, and Glaister hung over
the whirling cubes breathlessly. At
last they settled down, and to the aston
ishment of the spectators five aces were
up. Glaister fell to the floor like a
dead man when he saw the result,
while Mills wandered into corner and
sat down in daze
A few days later the transfer of stock
was made and Mills entered upon a de-
bauch that only ended when his money
was exhausted. All efforts of his friends
to put him on his feet again failed; his
brain was touched, and for years he has
been harmless and worthless beggar,
with q mania for throwing dice.-St.
