to revoke the proclamation after it
was issued. President Lincoln vowed
that unless the rebels would repent
before the first day of January, 1868,
he would proclaim freedom to the
slaves. The day was at hand and the
rebels refused TO repent. The first of
January came, and with his lion heart
ed War Minister at his side, like the
Apocalyptic angel, he rose up and
poured the vial of Gods wrath on the
seat of the beast; and amid the BIAS

When the war closed, Mr.. Stanton,s

assassinated, his associates got a

the tears of JOY fall from the ewes of
the President and the War Minister as
congratulations were exchanged on
the return of peace. At the age of So
after life of toll which had wrecked
a magnificent constitution, Stanton
had accumulated nothing but his home
and library. 1t was a period of testi
monials to those who had saved the
union. Rich men went to the War

BEET SUGAR SEED.
TO BE CONTINUED.

The Department Making Experiments
Throughout the Country.
The agricultural department is send
ing out to farmers and to experiment.
al stations, a large amount of beet
sugar seed with view to determine
the feasibility of growing beets in cer-
tain sections of the country. In an in
terview on last Thursday, with regard
to the growing of the seed, Secretary
Wilson said
ave have just about finished send
ing out sugar-beet seed to most of the
states in the Union. They are expert
menting south about as far as the Car
olinas and Texas. Every effort has
been made to procure first-class seed.
Most of the work is being done through
the experiment stations that get the
seed from the department and send
it out with instructions regarding the
cultivation of the plants and provide
for the return of the samples to the
stations in the fall for analysis. The
department is also taking in hand the
growing of high, heredity sugar-beet
seed. The seed being sent out by the
department is the result of careful i'm
provement extending over many years.
In some cases 40 years of time is given,
where every other beet is tested
by the polariscope to ascertain its per
cent. of sugar. The high, heredity
sugar beet seed is worth perhaps its
weight in gold. 1t is the result of the
very best work done along these lines
all these years.
"Capitalists are turning their. .atten-
ton toward investments along this
line. There will be no difficulty about
getting money enough to erect facto-
ries, which cost from 100000 to half
a million dollars.
"The business men of the cities have
learned that they cannot thrive unless
the farmers thrive, and besides, the
success of the Oxnards assures capital
lists that where all the conditions of
success are carefully secured to begin
with, there is no question of the ulti-
mate result.
at seems thus that the effort of the
department of agriculture to save the
500, 100000 that we now pay out an
nually for sugar and reaching for the
$65, 100000 that the British pay for
their butter each year will help the
balance of trade eventually"

"You mean to say you are doing II
for nothing?" exclaimed Camp, incred-
ulously.
"That's about the truth Of it, u said,
though I thought of Madge as I said il
and felt guilty in suggesting that she

"Then what is your motive?" cried
Baldwin.
If there had been any use, should

that they would only think I was pos

suavely, "we'll show you that we can
be liberal Though the letters rightfully
belong to Mr.. Camp, if you'll deliver
them to us We'll see that you don't lose
your place, and we'll give you $5, 900. "

looking at me anxiously, and asked
him:

over this compliment, but I only nod

"You see how mean they are. -

"No," said, laughing, "but you

me-"
That was too much for Camp First
he said something best omitted, and
then went on, II told you it was waste
time trying to win him over. "
The three stood apart for moment
whispering, and then Judge Wilson call
ed the sheriff over and they all went
out together. The moment we were
alone Frederic held out his hand and
said:
Gordon, it's no use saying anything,
but if we can ever do''-
I merely shook hands, but wanted
the worst way to say:
"Tell Madge."

Newcastle has several thousand more
voters than Kent and Sussex combin-

the Dover senate is the same for all
three-three members from each coun-
ty, and on any public question there

people can by a two-thirds majority

Wilmington casts about one.third of

of twenty-one members, chosen with

from each county, and, though the
Republicans carried Delaware at the

HE GOT HIS Dose.

The llama of South America Is an
expert marksman, though it never
uses it's food, writes James Weir in
Lippincott's. Only when annoyed and
angry does it give an exhibition of its
wonderful skill in hitting the object
aimed at. The llsma's weapon is its
mouth its bullet is composed of saliva
and chewed hay.
Several years ago ct the fair grounds
in St. Louis, I witnessed an exhibition
of this creatures powers of expectora-
tion, in which the victim was coun-
try beau, who came very near losing
his sweetheart thereby. This young
man was one of those self.sufficient
individuals who imagine that knowl-
edge sits enthroned in the temples of
their own personal intellects; "that
what they do not know is not worth
knowing" He was annoying the
llama (the animal stood in the center
of it's pen, probably Is feet or more
from its tormentor) by throwing clods
of dirt at it and beating on the rails
of the pen with his cane.
I saw by the creatures actions that
it was angry; the rapid movements of
its Jaws indicated that it was prepar-
ing to attack its persecuter. warned
the young man, telling him what to
expect; his sweetheart begged him to
desist and to come away. But he
treated my warning with derision,
and told the girl that she knew his
business" Suddenly there came a
whizzing, whistling noise, followed by
sharp spat; the young wise-acre lay
supine upon his back with his eyes
and forehead plastered with a dis
gusting mixture of saliva, hay and
mucus.

shouldered her parasol and walked

house some time afterward, but the
man was a changed being; he had
learned his lesson in decorum he had
been taught modesty by the good
craftsmanship of the llama.

Recently Prof. w. E. A. Wyman,
veterinary surgeon at Clemson college,
published a short, but instructive ar
ticle on the eye of the horse. Now he
has something equally instructive
about the animals ear. Here is what
he says:
"First, the ear should be In proper
ton to the general dimensions of the
body. Still it is worth while to re-
member that the small ear is found in
the courageous and energetic as we'll
as in the blooded animal. It also d.
minishes the size of the head and
causes the eyes to appear brighter.
"The ancestory of the horse is i'm
mediately revealed by the thickness of
the hair and ear. When the ear shows
an abundant supply of long coarse hair
we can rest assured that it is poorly
bred; this fact is 80 we'll known to
dealers that they invariably clip or
shingle such hairs, thus giving the
horse better sale. That this practice
predisposes the animal 20 ear troubles,

too high or too close together are often
met with in the timid and in the balky
horse. The play of the ear should be

ware of the horse which, both at work
and when in the stable, has its ears on

are apt to be deaf, blind, timid and
ready to run when the driver may least
care to undergo active exercise. Fin

carries it's ears backward as he is liza

especially when around the base of the
ear, create suspicion, they usually fol-

twitch, used to cause the animal to
stand quietly while the harness is put
on, or to assure safety to those about
him while treating him for some dis

THE LETTER WASN'T SENT.-When
Colonel John Hay, the new ambassa-
dor to England, was private secretary
to Lincoln, public man of some note
acted rather Extensively to the presi-
dent, and he determined to write him
a letter containing piece of his mind.
He told the president of his intention.
"That's right" said Lincoln; "do
80 ; give it to him; write out just
what you think"
Hay wrote the letter, brought it to
the president, and read it aloud. From
time to time Mr.. Lincoln interrupted
with "Good, good That fixes him !"
Hay was delighted with the success
of his scheme. "He will get the letter
tomorrow morning." he said, when he
finished; 1--WE will see what he has to
say in reply"
"But," returned the president, "you
don't intend to mail this letter? l
wanted you to write it out, because it
helps one to ease his feelings; but you
must not think of sending it. You
would only make the man mad with
out doing good to yourself or the ad-
ministration." Of course, the letter
was never sent.

HIS ANswER.-When John Quincy
Adams was 80 years old, narrates the
Lynn Item, he met in the streets O
Boston an old friend, who shook his
trembling hand, and said:
"Good morning! And how is Johr
Quincy Adams today ?"
"Thank you," was the ex-president's
answer, "John Quincy Adams himself
is we'll, sir; quite we'll, thank you
But the house in which he lives al

tottering upon its foundation. Time
and the seasons have nearly destroyed
it. Its roof is pretty we'll worn out
Its walls are much shattered, and il

by the Judge. Baldwin opened the ball
by saying:
"Well, Mr.. Gordon, you've played a

think you stand to win the pot. "
"I'm not complaining, I said.
"Still, " said Camp angrily, as if my
contented manner fretted him, "our

make it pretty uncomfortable for you.
Illegal proceedings put man in Jail in
the long run.

made Camp scowl worse than ever.
"Now," said Baldwin, who kept cool,
"we know you are not risking loss Of

Is in it for you
"I wouldn't bet my chance Of states

"Mr. Cullen hasn't given or even

"And Mr.. Gordon hasn't asked, and,
