Not Mary's Voice.

Anybody that knows Josiah Smith,
con of old Josiah Smith and grandson
of old John Smith, and otherwise
related to the Smith family, knows he
is a good, serious, practical sort of
man, who looks upon all sides of
question before committing himself to
an opinion.
When Smith courted his wife it took
him several years to make up his mind
before he asked the important ques-
ton. Every body around the house
waited and wondered why he didn't
pop, and if he ever would, but Josiah
kept on the even tenor of his way, get
ting well acquainted with Mary and
the family before taking the decisive
step.
There was parrot in the house,
a wicked. evil-minded bird, who hated
Mr.. Smith on principle, and never said
word in his presence, or at least
never did until-but thereby hangs
this tale.
Josiah had reached the point in his
courtship where he thought it advis-
able to take kiss-not a hurried
smack of affection, or an all-dey0uring
osculatory effect, but the prim, proper,
moderate kind of kiss that goes with a
declaration of love, like grace before
meat. Taking Mary's hand he asked
her to stand up, as the occasion was
solemn one.
"We will now indulge in our first
kiss, he said in Il formal but conyinc-
ing tone.
Not much!" croaked voice that
seemed to come from the air above
their heads.
Mary" said Josiah solemnly, "if you
can indulge in such unseemly levity at
such moment we are not suited for
one another"
Poor Mary was struggling with tears
of disappointment, but before she
could explain matters to her angry
suitor he had taken his hat and left
the house.
However, the spinster aunt who
owned the parrot saw him the next
day and explained matters, and Polly
had her ears boxed and was shut up,
so that the next time Josiah undertook
to kiss Mary no ghostly voice prohib-
tied the right. t.-DetroH Free Press.

MILk AND COWS.
Feeding and Other Hints from Actual ard
Successful Experience.

Feeding and Other Hints from Actual ard
successful Experience.
Cows giving but three percent milk
are Improbable for any purpose un-
less for milk selling, nor is the one
giving six percent milk profitable if
she gives but little. We should seek
to combine both quantity and quality
in the same animal. The COW giving
20 pounds of milk day, testing six
percent fat is more profitable than
one giving 40 pounds testing 3 per-
cent, Less work is required, while
the quality of the butter will be bet
ter. Observe regularity and per-
feet system in all dair, work. 1t
does not cost penny more than does
slipshod hap-hazard work, and pays
better. Clean out tae managers and
feeding boxes daily. A COW does not
relish stale food any more than we
do, and will not eat it unless forced
to. Make every ration new and
fresh, allow them to have constant
access to water. Study the habits of
each COW and her wants. Do not
give each and all 10 pounds of grain,
nor five pounds but just enough.
One may need the 10 pounds, while
another will not pay for more than
FIVE Bulky foods were originally
designed for the cow and she must
have them in connection with her
grain ration. Glover hay and corn
silage are the best of this nature.
Have good judgment. which only
comes through practice, observation
and close and constant study. Watch
the managers and the voidings to as
certain where the food has gone. Ii
none of it is found there look into the
milk pail or at the corpus of the cow
or it. 1t will be found in one or the
other. If in the pail, all right; If in
fat on the COW, let her go. Make
them all to settle and don't be too
long about it. Do not allow a cow
to stand in draft in the stable =

The Horses Strength.

The horse if not abused is as anx-
ious to use his strength of muscle
and endurance as is his master, and
to say that the strong man works
harder pitching hay than does the
weakling in his Office is libel upon
strong, healthy manhood. No man
or woman can fully enjoy life without
a strong and healthy physical system,
and there is no place on earth that
beats the farm for developing it.

Quarrel Among Politicians.

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. H.
Private Dalzell, of Caldwell, Noble
county, o., came to Wheeling last
Saturday and addressed a large
meeting of veterans On returning
home last night he found man in
front of his house, his family terror
stricken, and this notice surmounted
by skull and crossbones on his
front door:
"Warning! Cease your villainous
communications or you will be TAX
en- at the hour of midnight and re-
ceiye 20 lashes; also a coat, not of
many colors, but of tar; take warn
ing, you dirty dog"
The notice remained on the door
until torn down by w. III. Frazer,
Judge of the circuit court. The pop
ular excitement is very high and
many threats have been exchanged
between the friends of Dalzell and
his political enemies, all Republi-
cans, however. The trouble arises
out of the late congressional fight
between Dalzell and Congressman
J. ID. Taylor, which euded in the
defeat of both.

PITTsBURa, Aug. 11.-Dfferences
between the iron manufacturers and
the Amalgamated association have
been adjusted at a conference which
adjourned at 1880 last night, after
an agreement was reached and the
scale signed. Thus the threatened
strike of iron workers in this city

factuters of the Shenandoah aud

The Pi,tsburg mills will resume

Lennox-Maxwell, alias Brooks, who
was convicted and executed for the
murder Of his friend and benefactor,
Arthur Preller, at the Southern ho-
tel, st. Louis. The case was known

of the murderer came from England,
where Brooks, sr., Is u school mas

secure his acquittal, but to no pur.
pose. After the execution it was r. :
ported that Mrs. Brooks had called
down a curse on the head of the
trial judge, the prosecutor, and last
ly Governor Morehouse, who refus-
ed to commute the sent. nee. 1t is

that Judge Van Wagner failed of a

Trouble in a Church.

CHESHIRE, Mass, Aug 11.-Miss
Josephine Dumont, the New York
woman who presented the local
Baptist church with many costly
gifts, lie gain the subject of discus
sion among the deacon of the church.
Mics Dumont, having spent fire.
ouent ontings at Cheshire, because
interested in the Baptist Society, to
which she made from time to time,
large donations of money. She
presented beautiful Bible and
some valuable plate for church ser
vice, and recently the deacons object
ed on the ground that, as Miss Du-
mont was accused of keeping
house of Ill repute in New York,
gifts from such person could not
be accepted with consistency by a
Christian church. A sharp dispute
ensued, and it would appear that
the popular sentiment In the con-
gregation was In favor of receiving
the valuable presents in spite of the
alleged unenviable reputation of the
giver. The. deacous were firm.
however, and declared that if the
Bible and plate were retained they
would resign. AS their desire WAS
overruled, their designations fol-
lowed, and were accepted. The
following were elected as deacons to
fill the vacant places: Frank Martin,
samuel Baker and Edward Brown,
Now new dilemma has risen, and
one which the deacons who refused
to serve may look upon as a just re-
tribution for ecclesiastical greed.
Miss Dumont has taken offense at
the action of the former deacons in
moving to return her offerings, and
not only demands back her Bible
and plate, but as well all the money
she has ever given to the church.
This the members might be unwil'-
ing to accede to even if they had
the money in the treasury, but the
fact remains that the money is
spent, and as the total of the differ
ent amounts given would foot up
no small amount, the church is far
from being able to refund.
