FARM LANDS IN DEMAND.
Pennsylvania Mechanics Anxious to Leav,
 the Towns and t3o Farming.

fennsylVan1a Mechanics Anxious to Leave
 the Towns and Go Farming.
 There has been brisk demand dur ing the past summer and winter for farms adjacent to the city, says the Newcastle (Pa.) Guardian. This, no doubt. has grown out of the uncertain ty of steady employment and reduction of wages, occasioned by the industrial and business depression which has pre- vailed. In thls city, although our in- dustrial establishments have run with remarkable regularity under the circum- stances, there have been cuts in wages which have made the man who earns living by the use of his hands very uncertain regarding the future. His further regular employment cannot al ways be looked forward to, and the re- duction in his earnings has caused him more uneasiness, because it makes it more difficult for him to provide for rainy day."
 A reporter dropped into the office of one of the leading real estate agents, and during the talk learned that there had been quite a demand for farms within few miles of the central DOT tion of New Castle. Said the real es- tate man: Farm property in Lawrence county has been in good demand dur ing the past fall and present winter. There has not been much enhancement in values of real estate growing out of this call for such property as yet, but it will undoubtedly lead to it.f Not only are there quite a number of persons who desire to buy land of this kind, but it is considered just at presentAthe best security by people who have money to loan at interest. A well-known Lawrence county man just the other day wanted me to loan for him six to eighteen thousand dollars on farm lands. He probably thought it safer investment than city property. Country property is not subject to the fuctua- tions of New Castle real estate by req son of the fact that in the latter place the shut-downs of industrial establish ments have marked effect on the real estate market. know of a number of New Castle men who want to buy farm property adjacent to the city. One of these desires to invest six thou sand and another five thousand dollars. Mechanics in all trades have been here during the past few months getting in- formation regarding farm values. Some of these, should they purchase farms, will quit working in our indus property near town so they can con- tinue their vocation here''

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

THE pecan will come into bearing in about eight years.sa The hickory re- luires somewhat longer time:
 ONE who knows writes that the hickory will grow readily if planted in the fall and, contrary to the gen eral opinion, will grow when four years old after being in box in a drawer all that time.
 DR. MILLER says that walnuts grow about as freely as sound corn grains Simply cover in the fall an inch or two deep. These should be planted where the tree is to stay, as they soon get so large that they are unwieldy and not so sure to grow.
 CANAIGRE culture. we think, is bound to grow to considerable volume and importance in this country. We have no doubt that it can be grown success fully on any sandy soil that has enough moisture, and we see that it is stated that it can be grown on heavy soils Just what can be done with it in the states should be made matter of in- vestigation by the experiment stations.

absolutely independent in their admin istration of justice.
 The hope of gain sometimes renders officials over-zealous in crowding the dockets. Popular influences too often govern men. who depend upon the peo- pie for their salaries, CT their posi- tions, and often to the miscarriage of justice. The United States judiciary, with judges and court officers absolute ly independent of the public so far as their positions or emoluments are con- cerned, and holding office under the tenure of good behavior and honest and efficient service, is splendid model. The marked respect which the federal courts command and the whole some fear they excite by comparison with the state courts, everywhere in the Union, ought to be an object les son to the states in the organization of their judiciary systems.
 While the administration of justice in many portions of the land is sneered at, and the popular idea is abroad that money and distinguished position can accomplish anything in state courts, and that only the poor and friendless are convicted of crimes, as a general rule, the certainty and severity and impartiality of the judgments of the federal courts, with only an exception here and there, have created a wide spread terror among criminals of fall ing under their jurisdiction. The rob Der will rife the express company's safe, but he will give the mail bags a wide berth, and so of all other matters of criminal nature of which Uncle Sam has jurisdiction The independ- ence of the judiciary is the secret of this power, and of this strict adminis- tration of the law. In proportion as the state courts approach this system in organization and independence in the same proportion will they become more efficient and more formidable to evil-doers.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding. the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

TERRAPlNS AS PETS.
Easily Tanned and May Be Taught to Do
 Certain Tricks.


 Certain Tricks.
 The latest fad in the way of domes- tic pets is the diamond-backed terra pins. They can be found now in artists studios, men's smoking-rooms, and even in the ladies' boudoirs, says the New York World
 The terrapln IS a most convenient pet so far as feeding him is concerned. You can train him to eat almost any thing in the way of meat, or if you do not give him anything to eat at all for year or so it does not appear to dis tress him to any great degree. It only increases hiswakefulness and activity At first he will only feed in water, and will eat nothing but hard or soft shell crabs and clans. He is especially fond of the former. After time, however, as he becomes more domesticated, he will readily devour cooked beef or nut ton chopped up fine, and will learn to take it out of your hand.
 When first introduced into the domi- cile the diamond-bacl1 is very restless. lie seems to want to investigate every possible corner of the house. But as soon as he has taken the bearings of his quarters he subsidies into a condi- tlon Of quiet content and will allow you to try to teach him tricks. Everybody who possesses diamond-back speaks ot the readiness with which they can be tanned
 A well-known New Yorker declares that he has succeeded in teaching his terrapin to do the danse du ventre. But this cannot be verified.

PHGNIx. MARCH 1e. 1896.
LISTEN, SILVER MEN!

Sacramento (Cal) Bee: The New York chamber of commerce is alarmed. It knows that the cause of silver is to the front, and it fears that it may win. Consequently, is has sounded a general tocsin Ito the business men and capitalists throughout the Nation, ask ing them ito stand firmly together, shoulder ito shoulder, ito s"unite in vigorous effort to urge hhe seaection of delegates to the political conventions of both great parties who will advo- cate clear and distinct platform of lrtterances in favor of the mainte- nance of the present standard of value. The time is short, and action ought, therefore, to be all the more prompt. '
 While the enemy is united shall the people be silent and inert? While the goldbugs will present a solid front in both conventions, it is understood that the silver men will go there, as an awkward and a quarreling squad each man with his own choice for presi- dential candidate?
 Is it not time for the Republicans, not only of California, but of the en- tire Pacific coast, to determine that they will be for once united; that their delegates shall be pledged beforehand that they will not vote for any man as the Republican nominee for presi- dent who will not pledge himself squarely and unequivocally upon the side of silver?
 Let the coming Republican conven- tions of California, Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico place in their platforms unmis- takable silver blanks, and let their delegates be unequivocally pledged to vote for that man as Republican can- didate for president who will promise to stand squarely upon sueh' plank.
 The Pacific coast delegates may hold the balance of power. They may be able to dictate terms to the entire con- .vention. They may be able to name the next president ofethe United States.
 Will they put their united shoulders to the wheel, or will they differ, divide, and become nonentities in the great body?
 Let none of these great Pacific coast states pledge its delegates for McKin- ley, for Allison, for Reed, or for any other man, but let them unitedly fn- struct their delegates to vote for the man who will promise ito stand solidly upon the silver plank presented ito him.
 With an united front, and the shib- boleth, "Silver and Victory" the Pa cific coast delegates may accomplish much.
 Without it they are likely to cut as much figure in the coming National convention as the presen.5 pack of quarreling Irishmen do'in the legisla- tive chambers of the great British em- pire.
 The Bee would like to hear the views of its Pacific coast exchanges upon this nronoSition.

You need blood purifier. We make this assertion with confidence because it is fact that there is scarcely one person in ten thousand whose blood is free from humors, scrofula, acids, or some taint, either hereditary or ac- quired. Pimples, bofls, blotches, erup- tions are not the only indications. De- bility, lack of energy, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, rheumatic pains, poor sleep, headache, dizziness, specks floating before the eyes, and many other symptoms plainly indicate the need of thorough cleansing of the blood. The longer you delay, the more difficult will be the cure. The medicine to take is Ayers Sarsaparilla, and the time to begin is now. Con tinue to take it through March, April and May, or until you feel that health and strength are fully restored, which will be when all those painful and troublesome symptoms are entirely re- moved. The young, the old, the mid dle-aged alike need the potent, but benign influence of Ayers Sarsapa- rilla, the best of blood medicines.

A Political Straw,

During a trip on the B. r. & P.
the other day, Agent Matt Lundergan
had little experience which surprised
him. Two strangers were arguing the
money question. The talk waxed
warm and the silver man offered to
bet the gold man that a majority of
the occupants of the coach were silver
men. The bet was promptly accepted
There were twenty-eight men on the
car. Slips of paper were provided
and each passenger was asked to
write his financial preference on the
slip. Two tellers were appointed and
the votes counted. 1t stood twenty
six for silver and two for gold. The
men in the car were nearly all strang-
ers to each other. They had never
met before and were not likely to
meet again. Neither the gold or
silver man was able to tell which
would win the bet. When the count
was made it surprised them. The
incident was trivial one but it tends
to show the trend of public opinion
on the question Of the day.-DuBois
Express.
