Kentucky is rapidly closing the last
bloody chapter in her history. The Nc
Coy-Hatfield interstate feud, readers will
remember, was followed at once by the
Turner-Howard business in Harlan coun.
ty. The Turner's and Towards and their
respective allies, however, got rid of each
other so rapidly that there wasn't much
left for the state courts to do, and now
that they have sentenced one man to state
prison for life we hear, as usual, that he is
the most innocent one of the lot"
This man is Will Jennings, and if not
guilty he certainly is a most extraordinary

hours Of unavailing and foolish hope
The law is simply this: The three
colors, red, blue ond yellow, nevera all
appear in the same species of flow

third. Thus we have the red and
yellow roses, but no blue; red and
blue verbenas, but no yellow; yellow

DEAR SIRs-I wish to give my testimonial
in regard to your valuable medicine, P. Pa
p, for the cure of rheumatism, neuralgia
dyspepsia, biliousness,, etc. In 1861 | was
attacted with bilious muscular rheumatism
and have been martyr to it ever since.
tried all medicines ever heard of, and all
doctors in reach, but found ouly temporary
relief; the pains were so bad at times that
didn't care whether lived or died. NY di.
geston became so impaired that everything
ate disagreed with me. Mywife also suf-
lered SO intensely with dyspepsia that her
life was burden to her; she would be con.
fined to her bed for weeks at time; she also
suffered greatly from giddiness and loss of
sleep. Some time in March | was advised
to take 2. p p, and before we my wife and
y had finished the second bottle Of p. P. P,
our Digestion began to improve. My pains
subsidized so much that have been able to
work, and am feeling like doing what
haven't done before in % number of years.
We will continue taking p. p. p. until we
are entirely cured, and win cheerfulv re-
commend it to all suffering humanity.
Yours very respectfully,

Growing Locust Timber for Posts.

Cor Country Gentleman.
Mr.. J. H. Griffith's inquiry, as
the Locust Disappearing" calls at
tention to a matter of great impor-
lance, and to an excellent opportuni-
ty to make a profitable investment,
by the purchase of cheap lands and
planting them in this quick-growing,
valuable timber. have been urg-
ing the planting of the locust tree as a
profitable investment for more than a
half-score of years. The only serious
drawback is that occasionally the
borer will destroy plantation, but
/ find that it usually remains in force
but a year or two in any one place,
and ifa grove is cut off clean after the
trees are riddled by the bOrer, it at
once sends up new and vigorous
growth that is not likely to be trou.
bled by this pest.
Within two miles of my farm a
number of groves have been planted
at different dates, the first one as ear
ly as in the thirties, and containing
about twenty acres. Then from 1850
to 1860 a near Deighbor planted ten
acres, and during the past twelve
years groves aggregating ten or fiji
teen more acres have been set out,
and I'have carefully watched the
growth of all of them. During the
past forty years the borers have not
been destructive enough to injure the
plantations seriously, except for three
years, from about 1886 to 1889, when
there was an epidemico of them, and
several plantations were nearly ruin
ed, but for two years past they seem
to have mostly disappeared, and my
last grove, planted in 1887, has escap.
ed their ravages entirely. The first
grove / set in 1873 was so badly used

create new ones, by which new
markets are opened. Many of your
most interesting correspondents have
given examples Of this enterprise,
and have shown the way, in a most
magnanimous and unselfsh manner,
how this may he done. Formerly it
was the common advice given to
southern farmers to diversity their
crops, and thus relieve the markets
of surplus products and make new
ones. The South has found its way
to do this, Sand the southern farmers
are now profting by this improved
management of their farms. Few
complaints of the depression of agri>
culture come from this quarter, but
most of them from where the one crop
is the main product. The adherence
to the old rotation Of crops, too, is
an obstacle to improvement when the
culture of special products has been
found so much more satisfactory.
Virgil praised large fields, but he
said, "cultivate small ones" 1t is
not the size of the field, however,
that tells. 1t is the manner of cul-
ture. In that day, there was no
machinery for the culture of the land
and the gathering Of the harvests;
and the old fashion of small fields,
encountered with costly fences, is
played out in this age, when we
have all these labor-saving devices.
But we want the small culture,
thorough and perfect, of the small
field, applied to the large one; and
the abolition of the interior fences
Of the farm, SO that land may be
saved and the tillage made more
perfect. The small field is no longer
applicable to our necessities, but the
farm is to be the field, and the cum
bersome fences taken away. This
will give the needed room for the en-
siage crops, the summer soiling and
the reduction of the far too costly
field pasturage.
In short, this is the age of ecOno'
my-economy of effort, material and
means. The most must be made
from the least. Tillage must be O
the most perfect kind and confined tC
the least possible space. One acre
must be made to produce the crops o
three, at a similar reduction of cost
New markets are to be found for new
products, and these markets are t.
be cultivated in the most assiduou
manner. There are many sugge5
tons given weekly in the columns
of the Country Gentleman by accom-
plished and successful practical men
who relate what they have done il
these respects, which will point on
the way towards these ends, and in
dividual opportunities may easil.
provide the rest for the accomplish
ment of the many purposes that will
lead to successful efforts.
The subject is too broad for com
plete recital of all that may be done
and the growth Of all the needed i'm
provement must necessarily be 81 oW
but rightly undertaken it will b
steady, and in the end our agricuI
ture will gradually gain the high pc
sition that will place it abreast {

Several months ago Count Tolstoi an
nounced some startling and ridiculous conclu-
sions he had reached with regard b the use
of tobacco and alcohol, and now one of his
translators NJ. Raminski, has been ellcltlng
from a number of celebrated Frenchmen their
opinions of this remarkable emanaton.
NJ GOunard. among others. admits the en-
tire truth Of TolstOis structures 30 far as they
apply to the intellectual faculties lie IS sure
that the habit of using tobacco tends 70 pro-
duce a sluggishness Of these faculties which
may eventually lead 10 atrophy. As TO the
annlhilatiOn OF conscience from the same
cause he is by no means 30 sure however.
NJ Alphonse Daudet takes far more
rational view of the subject although he does
not hesitate TO assert that. while the abuse
either of alcohol or tobacco is folly after din
ner nothing can he better than good pipe
taken with one or two little glasses OF brandy.
which must OF course, be OF an excellent
quality He never seeks acOhOl as a stimuant
for work: and when as young man 1t hap
pened to mako him drunk, no frankly con
tesses he was incapable of writing or concelv-
ing line On the other hand, he has smoked
great deal while working and the more he
smoked the better be could work.
As matter OF fact. this all resolves itself
into a question Of physical and mental
temperaments Some men can use alcohol
and tobacco with impunity. whllo others can
touch neither without unfortunate results.
Then again there are those who eau smoke
to their hearts content, but must never look
upon the wine when It is red. aud others who
can drink with absolute rechessness. but
must never derive sOlace from a Relna Vic
toria AT any event. TolstoVs conclusions

Switzerland has adopted by popular vote a

submit the text Of bills TO the Chambers, and
10 compel the Chambers to discuss such bills
A similar law has long existed IN the local

not in itself extraordinary. Without any law
on the subject it is safe to say that any legis-
latve body in this country would, at least,
consider a law recommended by 5000 cleo

mitted by an individual or a score or two Of
voters. 1t is true that such bills are frequently
neglected after being introduced. but #
backed by $4,000 votes they would no
doubt pet consideration. In the can
tons the initiative is accompanied by
the Referendum, under which, whether
the Council passes or does not
pass such bills. they are referred back to the
people, and become laws if ratified by ma
iOrity Of the voters The Referendum. IN a

Under this new law $4,000 electors can force

A representative of the ST. Louis Republic
was in attendance upon Tsmmsny Halls re-
cent celebration, and reports as the most sig
nifcant incident of the occasion the relative
enthusiasm inspired by the reading of the
letters of regret sent by Mr.. Cleveland and
Governor Hill. He writes that the reading Of
Mr. Clevelands letter was followed by a spon-
taneous outburst Of applause which lasted
four minutes. He says hats were thrown in
the air, umbrellas we're opened and waved.
and the lungs feet and hands of the crowd
were exercised in no uncertain way" I'm
mediately following this. Governor Hills let
was read, and. in spite of the attempt of the
Tammany sachems on the platform to stimu-
late enthusiasm. the cheering was all over
in less than minute. and 1t lacked both the
volume and the spontaneousness with which
the mention Of Mr.. Cleveland's name was
greeted"
This report of the receptions accorded these
two recognized Democratic leaders Of New
York is worthy of notice. not TO reflect dis
credit upon Governor Hill, but to show that
the stories of his superior popularity in the
Empire State over that Of Mr.. Cleveland are
not reliable. it must be remembered too that
this meeting was special Tammany Hall
celebration, and, if accounts are true. was
one at which 1t was to have been expected that
Hill would receive an ovation while Cleveland
would be snubbed. And yet even there it.
was clearly shown that with the masses Of
Tammany Hall there is a feeling for Cleveland
that Is irresistible.
There is 10 doubt about it that all over the
Union, not excepting New York or any other
State, ex-President Cleveland is the most
generally popular individual in the Democratic
party That he is not popular with the
politicians is equally true, and this, as the he
public says. is grave fact because in the
selection Of delegates TO conventions and in
the shaping Of party action the politicians are
force by no means TO be despised. But
whenever an opportunity is afforded TO test
their feelings. the masses always show that. in
their opinion Cleveland is head and shoulders
above any other Democratic leader that can
he named.
The date for the nominating convention is
yet far off. and no one can possibly tell in
this rapid age what month. muchless year.
may bring forth. Everything, however. points
most unerrlngly just now to the fact that if
Cleveland is not the nominee of the party a
Western man will be selected If lie is re-
lectod 10y the convention no other New York
man is at all likely to DO chosen
