Thurman and Carlisle.

Allen W. Thurman, chairman ot the Ohio democratic state commit. tee has been interviewed as to his opinion ot Secretary Carlisle's re. cent speech at GovIngton. We give only synopsis as follows;
 To all the story of the subject il is simply Imaginable to see that the great Secretary of the Treasu- ", in defense ot the administra. tion and sound money, has been compelled simply to make the same speech that has been made by the Hon. John Sherman each year for the last twenty years. It is almost a dead copy, and has been answered overand over again until the people are wearying of it.
 The same dishonesty pervades it as does the copy from which il is taken, but in the case of Mr. Carlisle it is worse, because he pretends to be democrat, and then states that democratic sena- tors and among them my father. voted for the act oi 1873, he trying 70 create the impression all the while hy his statement tba, they

 And it came 10 pass in the course of tune, that the sons ot men looked upon 1t and thought it WAS beautiful. To make them look big and manly. the lads put forth their hands and did chew thereof; and some 1t made sick and others to vomit moss filthily.

 MR. EDITOR:-After long ab- sence, we have scratched mp our old quill, and will try, once again, to give the news from Rose Hill.
 This is a lovely season of the year, on the farm; everything is on the move; nature seems to lend her charms, on every side From morning til night can be heard the plough boy songs, chants, &c. 1t IS whoo-o ee, whoo.o.ce, until old "Ratlero jumps ra blt, when they chime in with chorus: whoop-ee, whoop.ee, Se. The farm lads are cheerful, happy. set, with T variety of food and plenty of fresh air, to secure good health, plenty work to develop their physical strength, with na- lures boundless stores to feast upon, to develop their mental fac ulties, is why, Mr Editor, we con elude, that the farmers have fur nished their pro rata of gcat and use- ful men, of all ages.
 The weather has been rather cool, and crops are small, in con- sequence.
 Despite the financial depression, farmers are of good cheer, and working with vim. All are pretty well up with their work, planting, as rule. more food and forage crops than of former years. We notice a disposition among farmers, to secure better breed of hogs. We hail 1t with delight It is a step in the right direction, one thing lacketh thou, yet-go and raise plenty of wholesome 
 food, to feed them on. Fine blood is very essential, but will not do. of itself. It takes pure blood, plen. ty of feed, backed by good judge ment, to secure success. Allow us, brother farmers, to give you, in this connection, three leading points, that we have gained by several years of close observation and experience: First, good breed. Second, variety of feed. Third, few in numbers. It is just about as hard to get the farmer to reduce his number ot hogs, as 1t Is to get them to cut down their cot ton acreage, Keep the number ot your hogs within the limits of your feed supply, as hogs should never cease to grow. It Is pool policy to try and raise two hogs on just feed enough to raiso one. The farmer who neglects lis hogs, and allows them 10 cease growing, at any stage of their existence, from the little pigs until they are ready for the slaughter pen, will find the balance on the wrong side of the ledger, at the end of the year.

 The race foi homes in the Kick apoo country begins today. The Kickapoc Indians have given this country q great deal of trouble. They were once very numerous, and always warlike. There are only about one-fourth of the num- Der belng on the reservation in Oklahoma which will be opened for settlement today. For more than 200 years the government has been trying to civilize these Indians, without meeting with any success. Ire kickapoos first be- came introduced to the white peo- pIo in the Seventeenth Century. At that time they lived on the Wisconsin River. They fought the French, were afterwards re- duced to submission by Gen. Wayne, but again took up arms and participated in the fight at Tippecanoe. They were continu, ally declaring war against the In itcd States. They are now scat. tered over the country, where they mingle with other Indians, but after today their name will no longer be associated with any ter ritory in the Unified States. They arc .avages incapable ot ciyilza tion and have forced themselves out of the way of the white man "Unft to occupy the soil, they haze been removed as cumberer, of the ground" says the Kansa. City Star. "Such is the alternativ, offered the races of men. The tree that bears no good fruit of eivih zaton, peace and progl ess is en down" Gd4ette.

WHAT HAPPENED TO DOT.

Dot was on the porch getting Glenn.
entina Blanche to sleep, when she heard
mamma coming downstairs. "Dottie
where are your" she called DON'T
Dottie jumped up all at once, and
slipping softly down the steps, ran out
into the orchard as fast as her little
legs could carry her.
81 don't want to know anything about
any don'ts," she said to herself. "Charlie
Norton said for me to come over there
after dinner, and his mother would LET
his Dickey bird out of the cage little
while. and I want to go. / don't mostly
suppose che was going to say, Don't you
go out of the yard, she was prob'ly just
going to tell me not to play in the sun
Anyhow, didn't hear her say not to &C
away, so I'm going"
And away Dottie went across lots over
to Charles. but she felt guilty all the
time; for, after all, she was pretty sure
that mamma was going to say. Don't &c
away. However, the surer she felt, the
faster she ran.
II didn't hear her say word bout
not coming she kept saying.
They had great time. she and Char.
lie. Mrs. Norton shut the doors and
windows, and let Dickey out of his cage.
He flew from one to the other, and
hoped about. and seemed to enjoy it Sc
much.
Finally, Mrs. Norton said he must GO
back to his cage, but this Dickey did
not wish to do; and he was so cute
about it that the children were very
much amused.
He would perch on chair or picture.
and let Mrs. Norton almost catch him,
then, just as she was about to put her
hands on him, off he would go to some
point beyond her reach, and, cooking
his little head on one side. pour forth a
flood Of melody.
The children were on the lounge; in
their excitement they stood up. leaning
against the wall.
Suddenly, without any warning, out
went the lounge, and over on to the floor
went the children. Dottie struck her
head on sharp corner. and for few
minutes she felt too faint and sick to
move. Then she broke out sobbing. II
want to 60 straight home to my
mother" she said between her. sobs.
And home she went soon after, her head
done up in brown paper soaked in vine-
gar.
did you call to me, and tell me not to
go away?" she asked the first thing.
"Why, no, DEAR" answered mamma.

A RUSSIAN SLED.

Riding down hill on a cake of ice
would not seem to US very amusing, ex-
cept, perhaps, to the spectators, who
might enjoy it as a sort of frozen tub
race. As matter of fact. though,
cake of ice in the hands OF Russian boy
will make a very good and rapid sled.
He saws out block that is longer than
it is thick, and about high enough for a
comfortable seat. Then he scoops out
hollow like saddle little back of the
middle of the upper surface, and up
holsters it with straw or rags. 1t is
then ready for it's first trip down hill,
and if the rider is skillful he will make
very good time on it. But carrying it
back to the top of the incline would be
too hard work for even Russian boy,
and pushing it up hill would be about as
bad. A clever lad once thought of a
better way and allsother boys have copied
him ever since. He found good rye
straw, and began blowing through it at
the front Of the block with the end of the
straw close to the ice. Sood he had a
little hole in the block, as neatly drilled
as steel tool could have done it, In
the course of an hour and half he had
driven hole slantwise through the ice,
coming out at the top just in front of the
saddle. A stout string passed through
the hole and knotted completed his sled i,
which could then be drawn up hill al
most as easily as the best coaster that
ever was made. If boy is careful of
his ice sled-and he is apt to be careful,
for considerable work is necessary to
make one-it will last all winter. I'm.
agine him freezing on new set of rum
ners when the old cnes have worn out!-
