Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen

Mr.. Maxwell has indicated the line
of policy which will govern him in
the selection Of about $4,000 fourth
class Postmasters this year.

The 'No-ex,' as a rule, will apply in
the selection of fourth-class postmas-
ters. OF course if we can not get
Democrats, who have not held the
offices to accept them, we will rein
state the old Postmasters rather tha II
permit the Republicans to hold the
offices. We are now ready for bust
ness, and changes will be made as
rapidly as possible. 1t is the inten-
ton to reorganizc the service and put in
as many new Postmasters as possible.
There is no tenure to these offices, and
changes can be made at any time"

Farm Fertilization.

Many tons of commercial fertilizers
are bought and used by farmers that
can not afford 70 use 1t. Until far
mer saves and uses all the fertilizers
available or the farm, he cannot
afford to purchase fertilizers with his
hard-earned dollars at twenty five to
forty dollars ton. 1t will pay to dig
out the soil under the stable in many
instances and spread it on the land, as
it contains great deal of ammonia
and other elements of fertility. Use
the manure from the hen-house on
hills of corn and potatoes or in the
garden and it will give excellent re-
suits. Ii farmer will keep his eye
open he will discover fertilizing ma
terial about his farm going TO waste
in sufficient quantity to grow quite
field of corn. Some way ought to be
devised for saving all the liquid about
the stable, as it is worth nearly, if not
quite, as much as the solids.-Farm,

The New Sheen Disease.

For several months there have been
complaints from various quarters that
sheep were singularly affected and
some died suddenly while appearing
healthy and even eating heartily. 1t
is said that a sheep in flock thus
affected, in illinois,, was carefully ex-
amined after dying, and it was dis
covered that the lungs were covered
with, white worms about an eighth O.
inch long. The gall bladder was un-
naturally distended and was filled
with liquid resembling pure water.
No remedies had heretofore been
found that would have any effect on
sheep so afflicted, but after this dis
covery turpentine was given in liberal
doses to another member of the flock
affected with the same disease, and a
marked improvement was noted in a
few hours. This discovery will be OF
infinite interest to sheep owners all
over the county, whose fiocks have
been reduced ny this same battling
disease.--Indiana Farmer. .....

Judge Wallace handed down a de-
cision in the case of John G. Emo, the
defaulting President of the Second
National Bank, of New York, who, in
1884, fled to Canada to escape punish
ment for misappropriating the funds
of the bank, and who returned to the
city few months ago. Under this
decision indictments against Emo in
the Court of General Session are dis
missed. Judge Benedict, in the
United States Criminal Court, has
now under consideration a motion OF
ex-senator Frank Hiscock 10 dismiss
the indictments against Emo, returned
by the Grand Jury in the United
States Court in 1884. If these indict-
ments are dismissed Emo will be
free.

The Guest Chamber.

A room should always be prepared
for the expected guest in advance OF
the coming, so that any baggage or
parcels can b3 at once taken there
and, of more importance, that the
guest can be Immediately put in oc-
cupation. This room should be made
as comfortable and homelike as cir
cumstances will permit, and so far as
possible be specially suited to the
person who is to be the occupant.
If the weather is cold, inclement OF
damp, pains should be taken to have
the apartment agreeable in tempera-
ture and in every way adapted to the
interests of the visitor in safety, COM
fort and convenience. The bed should
be prepared in accordance with the
customs of the occupant. The room
should be furnished with writing ma
terials, and appropriate reading mat
ter should not be forgotten, including
a Bible. Do not take it for granted
that the occupant will not care for the
latter; great many really very de-
vout people do not carry their religi-
Gus convictions exposed to the public
gaze.
In assigning a guest to quarters,
either for brief or more prolonged
stay, full information should be given
as to the peculiarities OF the structure,
the means Of entrance and egress, the
occupancy of neighboring apartments,
and any other information which may
save him from annoyance or embar-
assment.
There should be no intrusion to the
guest room, by any member of the
family. The apartment is no longer a
portion of the common domicile, but
is assigned to another, and should be
entered only in the same manner in
which the occupant would be called
upon in her own home. 1t is to be
presumed, in absence of express un-
derstanding to the contrary, that
when guest is in the room provided
for her occupancy, she is there because
she desires to be temporarily by her.
self, and is not to be disturbed un-
necessarily. .r.,
Do not overlook facilities for bath
ing, whether the stay is to be for half
an-hour or indefinite, especially if the
visitor has been travelling. 1t is to
most persons a positive luxury to
wash away the dust and CRIME of
travel, particularly before coming to
the table. Do not oblige the guest to
ask for these little attentions; many
will not do so, but will quietly ignore
the oversight, even though it quite
mars their enjoyment of the occasion.

Mr.. l. ID. Collier, of Shelbyville,
writes The Louisville Times in regard
to powder-horn in possession of his
father, which he claims to be the old

preservation. Mr.. Collier saw the
notice of powder horn in the list OF
exhibits arranged by the ladies of
Glasgow, which was used in the time
Of the Revolution. He says his horn
antedatee this and gives its interesting
history. His horn was originally the
property of Isaac Collier, of the Eng
lish Navy. Besides the owner, )
name and the date (l776), the English
coat of arms and other inscriptions
are on it. Isaac Collier left it to his
brother, Michael Collier, when he left
to join the Continental army, instruct
ing Michael to name one of his chill
dren Isaac and leave him the powder
horn. This was done, and the relic
has descended from greatgrandfather
Michael Collier to our correspondents

turn left it to Isaac F. Collier, the
father of our correspondent, Isaac d.

Ohl she was the parsons daughter,

And thus it all begun.
He saw her home from meeting,

For she was the parsons daughter

Upon a sunday night,
He called to see her mother,
And that was but polite.
They always made him welcome,
As they did every one;
And tnen-why, twas the parson'
And he was the deacon's son.
At length there came a crisis;
He took her out toride,
And love o'ercame his shyness, ...
He begged her be his bride,
And gossips never wondered
For once, at what was done,
For she was the parsons daughter.
And Inc was the deacOn's son.
The girl was sweet and pretty.
And she could sew and bake;
And he was tall and manly,
And bold in meeting spake;
And all was right and proper,
The prize was fairly won,
For she was the parsons daughter
And'h was the deacon's son.

The American Rock Company was
made the subject of legislative inquiry
Monday by the Illinois Legislature.
Charles j. Barnes, General Western
Manager, was the principal witness.
He declared that the company was
not trust formed to make higher
prices, but merely for the purpose OF
minimizing expenses bya concentra-
ton of business interests. He said the
combined income of every school book
company in the United States was
only about $3,500,O0O, and of this the
American Book Company had re-
ceived So, 1901, 900, which enabled it to
pay only six per cent dividends.

Mr.. cLAY.s INDEBTEDNESS

Some fifty years ago 1t becam
known that Mr.. Clay was involved b
the extent of some $4,000 by reasel
of an endorsement. This debt wa
being carried for him by the NortherI
Bank, and he paid the interest pune
tually every four months when tn
note was renewed. Mr.. Clay wa
then in the Senate, and his friend
and partisans valued his service
above all the public men of his day
1t became known that this debt was
heavy burden on Mr. Clay, who hat
no means of discharging 1t except b,
the sale OF Ashland, or large part o
that estate, and owing to the depress
ed price of land he was carrying th'
debt till land improved in value. Hi
friends, nobody knows who nor where
they lived, determined to pay the deb
aud thus relieve the old statesman Of
the burden. The money was sent tc
the bank from the East, the notes paid
and cancelled, and Mr.. Clay knew
nothing of it till he went as usual to
renew them and pay the discount.
The cancelled notes were handed to
him by Farmer Dovers, the teller,
and his astonishment may well be
imagined. To all remonstrance the
sturdy old cashier could only reply
that the notes were paid, by whom
he knew not, and that his concern
with them was at an end when they
were paid" Mr.. Clay bowed his
head on the desk and wept with emo
ton, and to his dying day he never
knew to whom he was indebted for
the lifting of that terrible burden.
Like Gov. Mckinley, he would never
have consented, but, being done, he
was forced to accept the inevitable.
He had all the aversion which a true
gentleman feels at pecuniary obliga-
tion, and if there was any one thing
he valued more than another, it was
perfect independence. He loathed
that craven spirit which men often be-
tray in regard to money obligations,
and stunned the very appearance Of
it as inconsistent with the feelings
that ought to animate a gentleman.
He was the very cynOsure of ST eIy
thing that was hightoned ana honora-
able, and we are glad to know that
there is another public man who
spurns these pecuniary obligations as
degrading and compromising. Gov.
Nc, Kinley has raised himself immeas-
urably in the estimation of all honor
able men, and has gained the esteem
of thousands by this one act, who
were not captivated or attracted by
his craftsmanship or public career
