His Religion Interfered With His
Threshing.

Captain Hadaway moved his ex-
pensive threshing outfit to the yard
of Mr.. Samuel Willis, a devoted
Adventist, of Kent county on Friday
afternoon. Mr.. Willis positively
forbid the running of the machine on
his farm on Saturday, but allowed it
to be removed. refusing to take any
part in the work on the Adventist's
Sabbath,
Others were waiting for the
machine, and while Mr.. Willis stated
that he would rather not have the
work of removal go on on Saturday,
if some one else saw proper to do the
work, he would not stop it. The first
of the series of these troubles was
when an Adventist refused to testify
in court on Saturday and was sent
to Jail.
In Tennessee there ia q large
colony or congregation of these
Seventh day or Saturday lunatics,
who have been relentlesslv persecut-
ed by a worse set of devilish officials
in the pretended cause of religion for
working on Sunday. The Adventist
farmers pleaded a religious con
science for keeping Saturday sacred,
and that their work would not allow
tnem to lose two days in the week
or rather that they could not afford
to do so. And altho' their religious
lunatics were most excellent citizens,
frugal, industrious, temperate, peace
able. kind and benevolent; such
people as needed no law for their
restraint, yet they we're bounded out
of the state by intolerable persecu-
tions and fines by people who cared
no more about religion than the
worship of a Chimes jos. Our Kent
county neighbors appear to be willing
to adopt the Tennessee methods, The

The Army of English Barristers.

At the Wells trial the other day Mr. JUS
tice Hawkins remarked that there are 4, 900
barristers. That was the approximate
number about 80 years ago, when the
learned judge was ut the bar, but the num-
Der now is nearly 5000. 1t must give pause
to not a few ambitious young men to find
the order of the Golf double its members in
80 years. The first Law list" was published
in 1885. The kings counsel" were 90, and
the whole bar of England but 400 The re-
corder Of London was then paid 1900. 1t
took 40 years for the bar to be as numerous
again rs at that date.
At the beginning of her majesty's reign
in only II years the Q. C's numbered 20,
and the bar had with astonishing rapidity
grown from 900 to over 1900. L; was in
1861 lin the day Of Henry Hawkins, Esq,
Q. c. that there were 1000 wigs and gowns
and 125 silks" In another 10 wears the
latter class had become $50 strong, and the
rank and file of the long robe totaled $500.
Now there are 40 queens counsel, and the
members of the four inns of court could
be mustered at about 10000 strong. And
yet the cry is Still they comer'-London

A generation ago the chickens to be seen
around the average farmhouse were of
mixed and haphazard breed There are
farmers still who keep such poultry. There
are also farmers who do not believe that the
world is round and revolves on its axis
every "a hours. But farmers so careless as
to their poultry are almost as scarce as the
latter ignorant class. You may meet Il
farmer whose ideas are little mixed about
the rotation of crops and the value of 81
lage, but you have to go far indeed to find
one who has not his preference as between
Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns, Langshans,
Cochins and Brahmas. Chickens on a farm
are kind of savings bank, and those which
Law the most eggs and fetch the highest
prices as brOlers are very naturally more
highly esteemed. Now, the fancy farmers
were the first to attempt to breed better
chickens in this country, and they continue
to lead in the experiments looking toward
the furt her betterment of domestic fowls.
There is one thing that has been insisted
on in vain, so far as ordinary farmers are
concerned. That is the value of cleanli-
ness-cleanliness in the chicken houses and
cleanliness in the food and water given to
the fowls Unclean houses are productive
of all kinds of disease, and unclean food
and water also. There is an old fashioned
notion that chickens are good scavengers,
and that if allowed the freedom of the barn
yard they will forage for themselves. This
is true, but it is very unlikely that any
cock or hen from such a range would ever
take a prize III a poultry show.-J. Gilmer

AFTER THE EUCHRE PLAYERS.
Indiana Gamblers Turn tho Tables on
PLAYERS of the Social Game.

Indiana Gamblers Turn tho Tables on
Players of the Social Game.
Gamblers and saloon keepers have done
more this week to stamp out social card
playing than the association of ministers
and the Law and Order league could have
done in months of work. Court deputies
have knocked boldly at the palaces OF the
rich and respectable, and when those same
doors were opened the bellies and matrons
and patrons of society have had to march
forth like common wrongdoers to go be-
fore the grand jury to be questioned as to
their participation in the heretofore unmo
Tested game Of progressive euchre. Preach
,rs have stood in the pulpit and condemned
the action of church members, while the
latter cast pious eyes on the floor and then
walked out TO shuttle and cut the cards
around the euchre tables, spending several
nights each week in the delights of the SO
cety gaming tables.
But the eminently respectable people
have learned in the last few days that they
are as liable to the orders of the court and
to prosecution for violating the laws in
their own homes as are the professional
gamblers and saloon keepers who maintain
the tigers den with all its seductive appur
tenances. Friday bailiffs were sent over
the city with capiases for about 40 well
known men and women. Some of the lat
ter fled the town, choosing the present as
good opportunity for paying visits TO dis
taut friends and relatives. Those that re-
maincd were stricken with confusion at the
| situation, and there was a great scurrying
| to avoid the strong arm of the law. The
names of the people printed in the daily pa
| pers as having taken part in the progress
i've euchre parties playing for prizes were
| all on the grand jury's list.
When the hour came at which the moth
ers, daughters and brothers should come
before the grand jury, Captain w. j. Lu
cas-, president of the First National bank
| Robert Thomas, secretary and treasurer OF
| the Cerealine Manufacturing company, and
others, with Attorney IL. c. Davis, went
before the grand jury and promised to give
all the information desired if that august
| body would only release the women from
the obligation and chagrin Of being forced
| to testify. After some time the offer OF
the men was accepted, and the women were
| let off for the time being. After the ordeal
was over the jury took the cases under ad
| visement, and all Columbus society is
breathlessly waiting to see against whom
indictments will be returned. The point
is that it is as much gambling to play for
prizes as to play for money. columbus
