But that was not all. The capitalist,
to whom they were to have made a
final payn ent this autumn, and then
prove up their land, would have them
in his power. He might foreclose, and
they would not only be left penniless
but would lose their farm and what
money they had already paid. Look

Things were becoming somewhat
dry. and pastures a. well as crops were
beginning to suffer, when there wa.
noticed. one morning, soft south
wind, which Mr.. Carter had been ac.
customed in Ohio to regard al sure
indication Of rain. They were fairly
1ubilant at the prospect One good
rain would insure the crop. Gradually
and steadily the wind increased both
in velocity and temperature; it was
something new. No rain! And still 1t
blew stronger and hotter and without
cessation. Everything was being dried
up; but still it blew strong and steady
and straight from the south. 1t must
surely stop when the sun goes down;
but what can repair the damage
already done? People finally went to
bed; but there was little sleep tina.
night for the settlers. The wind
still blew relentlessly and without dis
elimination Everything in its course
| was doomed.
The next morning revealed a scene of
desolation not easily described. All
night long the burning wind had con-
tinued its work of destruction. The
leaves of the corn instead Of glistening
IN the sun were brown, and ratified
against their stalks as if dried in a
kiln. The injury done to the pastures,
though less obvious, was no less com
plete. Hungry cattle were already
circling around the parched field in
search of fresh feed, and finding none.
Every hour revealed some new evil
dence Of the completeness of the ruin
wrought. Everything in the garden
was totally destroyed. The little trees,
which had been planted the first sum
mer, were brown as in autumn. Set
tiers who had been there long enough
to have small fruit trees beginning to
bear found the apples half baked on
the trees. Nowhere could there be
found any sign Of vegetable life In
every direction the outlook was hope
less. Plainly there was nothing for
man or beast to subsist upon the rest
of the summer or the coming winter.
What to do was the one engrossing
question, and for it there was no an
swer. Stock must be disposed of at
once, but where were the buyers? The
horses-could it not be that such a
team could be given away? Yet no
one could take them. Must they be
shot to keep them from starving? But
how could the farm ever be worked
without them? Such were the ques-
tions that were forced upon the Carter
household at every turn. But the chief
question, after all. was what to do
with themselves, They had no friends

At an afternoon summer wedding
the groom should wear black frock

white duck waistcoat and white tie.
A Tuxedo coat is supposed to be worn
in the evening at home, or in making
informal calls, and in the summer and
otherwise only on occasions when ladies
are not present. At the theater, unless
ladies are of the party, Tuxedo coat
is proper.
At the reception at the brides house
after the wedding, the maid of honor
stands by the bride and helps receive,

also stand in the line. The parents of

REPUBLICANS AND THE SILVER QUEs-
TlON.
BREAD LOAF INN, VI.


Edior Of he Rcgistcr:-Th resolu-
tions by the executive committee of
tine National Silver committee, which
YOU copied last week from the
Chicago Inter Ocean, are most pertinent
ly worded and perhaps the most impor-
tant i'm politics that have appeared in
this country for many years. GheY call
for the organization of a new American
party with no uncertain tone, and this
party is sure to appear in the near tu-
ture. unless the action of one of the two
principal old parties upon the question
of independent bimetalliSm shall make
II unnecessary.
In the matter of old parties there is
no reason. we think. to believe that the
Democratic party, as a national party.
win take any action in favor of the free
coinage of silver by the United States.
Mr.. Cleveland has accepted in its en-
tirety the single gold standard and will
be able, we think, to get a majority at
the next national Democratic cOnven-
ton to endorse it. Therefore, if there is
any action in favor of genuine bimetal-
lism by either of the old leading parties,
it must be by the Republican.
The practical condition of affairs is
this: There are - States west of the
Mississippi, all hitherto Republican, with,
perhaps. the exception of Utah, friendly
to the silver interest, and most of which,
if not all. will most certainly swing into
line with that interest at the critical
time. The following are the names of
these States and the number of their
