Every Farmer His Own Miller.

Save time and you save money,
Winger's wind mill attachment and feed
grinder will do it for you.
By an ingenious arrangement the
feed grinder is made to attach to pump
ing mills, operated by an elbow attached
to main pumping rod, so that it can be
attached or detached in less than min
ute, pumping and grinding 90 on at the
same time.

so arranged that it grinds on the up
motion Of the wind mill. The grinder
consists Of a double metal case and
three burs, two remaining stationary
and one revolving in the center, produc-
ing q double grinding surface, tWo-fOld
greater than any other known to the
world, and will grind more than the or
dinRry farmer Leeds. It can be changed
from grinding coarse to fine by simply
turning one nut. See advertisement In

Improved Seed Drill.

The Whitman Agricultural works al
st. Louis have an improved broadcast
seeder and seed drill for the spring trade
that has attracted attention wherever
shown. Following their old practice Of
never putting out any machine until
same has been thoroughly tested. No
one need have any hesitation in buying
machines made by this well known firm.
Within the past week orders have been
received from France, Austria, Italy,
Chilli, Argentine Republic and Mexico,
which shows how favorRbly the Whit
man goods are considered by our foreign
neighbors.
AT Chicago this year their exhibit at
tracted attention from every one inter-
ested in good machinery, and this COM
pany was awarded fourteen prizes,
probably the largest number given any
exhibitor in the agricultural department.
If you are not already acquainted with
the products Of the Whitman Agrioul-
turRl works, send for their catalogue
and tell them what you want.

respect By the passage of acts rendering
void the constitutional provision, and
thus plainly and palpably refusing to re
turn runaway slaves and fatty denying
the south itS guaranteed rights under
the fundamental law that constituted
the compact ofsgovernment and union'
In view Of such RnteCedents it was very
reasonable and natural that at the con-
clusion Of the war, Mr.. Lincoln should
declare that "there had been blood
enough spilled, and that there snould be
no more shed with his consent; and that
General Grspt should have bid the sur
rendered, "GO home, abide by the laws
and be peaceabls citizens, and you shall
not be disturbed"-"let us have peRce." "
The theory Of Mr.. Greeley and his
friends was messurSbly the same,
though he had never trained in the
school of Mr.. Davis, like General Grant,
and had never supported the fugitive
slave law nor demanded it's execution;
though he could not deny that it had its
sanctions in the federal compact. He
admitted most fully that slavery, for
which both sections were responsible,
was imbedded in the constitution, and
that the trainers Of that instrument were,
therefore, primarily responsible for the
deplorable consequences that had grown
out Of that fact. But he and his planted
themselves on q higher law than the
constitution-the law of humanity and
Christian civilization. And thus the
poison inoculated in the beginning began
to develop it's effects. The ulcer in
famed and festered, came to head and
finally broke. And this was the way Rp-
pointed by the Deity and by nature for
the restoration Of the subject to life and
to health. And il so, why hold puny
man responsible for the DEGREES of God
and his ways, (which are past finding
out" The philosophy Of the whole
question was that the children had in
hsrited q law suit, in the slave institu-
tion from their fathers, the trial of which
had been postponed from time to time
for three quarters Of q century till it
could be put of no longer. And when
they came to inquire in what court it
should be sdjudicsted, they found but
one tribunal under heaven adequate to
that great duty; that was the tribunal OF
war, to which, from the beginning Of the
world, all such cases had been referred,
and whose judgments mankind are
bound to accept, nOI0nS VOlens. And to
this court, the last great case Of this
kind on earth, let US hope, was referred;
and the judgment rendered in tears and
blood and all the horrors of interneclne
war. And Mr.. Greeley responded, 'in
Gods name 10 the judgment not severe
enough that anyone should want to add
to itS l and mine are satisfied, and the
south, against whom the burden Of it
lays, is sufficiently punished. Slavery is
wiped out-sll that we desired-and we
never had an i'll feeling against a south

''stubboyed" the north on in pursuit Of
our fRVorite object and purpose, and he
fought for the possession Of his 30 called
property. It was an issue between US,
and he no more to blame than We" And

at the bottom of them and ssCertsining
the principles on which theYsre based and
the philosophy Of their operation. And
so Of all other problems OF like nature.
Let us apply the rule to one or two
others-to the banking system Of the
country and to the immunity from pun
ishment extended to Jefferson Davis, the
president Of the southern confederacy
during the war Of the rebellion. No one
subject ever perpleXed the common
mind more than the action Of our su-
thorities towards Jefferson Davis after
he was taken prisoner and in the hands
Of the government. That the archcon-
splrstor and source Of all our tribula-
tions and sorrows growing out OF the
war, as he was denounced, should be
turned loose upon the world again un-
punished and be permitted to die 8
natural death and be deposited in the
bosom Of mother earth uninterrupted by
the halter or the gibbet, passed the COM
prehension Of thousands Of even think
ing men. And millions Of plain unso-
phisticated humanity stood ready to
prod him through the world and into his
grave with pixies and pitchforks had
they been authorized and permitted.
How, then, were Abraham Lincoln, Cen
ersl Grant, Horace Greedy and company
able to stem the tide Of popular opinion
which run with such q current in that
direction, and enable Mr.. Davis to I'LL
out his years and be laid away with hon
ors, instead Of the execrstions Of man.
kind? Two theories have been advanced
to account for this; and both very res-
sonable, it must be confessed, when you
20 to the bottom and get at the philoso-
ply of the great war Of which he was
chief exponent and actor. The first sp-
plies more particularly to Mr.. Lincoln
and General Grant, and the other 80 Mr..
Greeley and his abolition friends who
intervened so efectually in behalf Of the
great confederate leader, to the sstonish-
men OF the world.
AFRICAN slavery, for the existence OF
which both sections of the country were
responsible, had been imbsdded in the
constitution and laws, while it was mex
tricsbly twined about the social and in
dustrial life Of the people Of fifteen
states Of the union. No compromise
was possible, for debate only aroused
passion; so that the institution pro-
tected by constitutional and statutory
laws could only be uprooted BY the
plowshare Of war. And it was done
amidst tears and blood and all the hor-
rors Of internecine war" Under such
circumstances, General Grant and Mr.
Lincoln couldn't bring themselves with
any consistency to punish Mr.. Davis for
fighting in defense Of slavery and its
protection under the government, for
both had always held the same doctrine
and demanded it's protection in pursu-
ance Of the constitution; and denounced
all efforts to evsde the plain provisions
Of that instrument which required it's
defense by the national authorities a.

UNEQUAL PUNISHMENT.
Different States Treat Criminals with Va
rying Degrees of Severity.

Probably few people are aware, says
the Springfield (Mass.) Union, of the
great difference in the severity of pun
ishment for the same crime which ex-
lists in different states, but the matter
has been fully discussed in a paper by
Fred w. Wines, which was read at the
meeting of the National Prison assOcia-
ton at st. Paul Mr.. Wines claims
that the existing penal system is I'M
just in some respect in almost every
state, and the facts given in support
of his statement are decidedly interest
ing. In some states there is no capital
punishment for murder. while in
others the death penalty is inflicted
for what in comparison are minor
crimes. If 1t is right to spare the life
of man who commits brutal muir
der in Michigan, it is certainly wrong
to hang a wretch who has been caught
setting fire to a dwelling at night, as is
done in Montana. Nearly all the south
ern states punish arson with death,
and in some burglary is a capital
crime. In Missouri the punishment
for perjury is death, while in New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Ken
lucky the maximum sentence for per-
jury is Eve years. In Maine, Mississippi
and Iowa, however, the perjurer may
be sent to prison for life, while in Del
aware for the offense is justifable by
fine. The severest punishment in
fiicted in Delaware for incest is fine
! of one hundred dollars, in Virginia six
months in Jail, and in Louisiana the
death penalty is exacted.
1t is clear that when the punishment
for given crime varies from the exac
ton of small fine to hanging, great
injustice is done somewhere, aud it il
well that men are studying the ques
ton with view to correcting the evil

FAREWELL ADDRESS.
The House I'm Which Washington Wrote
the Famous Document

the Famous Document.
The little state of New jersey, as
every schoolboy knows, was the scene
of many stirring events during the rev.
olution, and almost every city, town
and hamlet has, or claims to have, a
landmark of which its inhabitants are
very proud and delight to point out to
visitors. While there is no doubt of
the authenticity of the claims made for
many of these places they have GER
tainly lost nothing by the traditions
with which they are surrounded. As
in many other parts of the country,
however, some of these monuments
which should have the greatest claims
on the American people from a histor-
zeal point of view have been neglected,
apparently forgotten, and allowed to
90 to decay and ruin. In the march of
history and progress they have been
lost sight of.
One of these is the old Berrian house
at Rocky Hill. 1t was in this house
that Washington resided for many
months, and, among other acts wrote
his farewell address to the continental
army. The house is an old-fashioned
structure, with large square rooms and
low ceilings to retain the heat from the
hickory and oak logs burned in the big
