A Poet with yipor.

The McMillans OF London published
a book Of poems by 7. e. Brown, which
the English critics lauded becaul y of
the "vigor Of the poets descriptive
style" Here is little sample of 1t re.
ferring to the sailing of fishing
smack:
So to the jetty gradual she hauled;
Then one the tiller took
And chewed and spat upon his hand and bswied,
And one the canvas shook
Forth like moldy bat, and one, with mods
And smiles. lay on the bowsprt end and called
And cursed the harbor master by his gods
And rotten from the gunwae to the keel,
Rat ridded, bilge bestank,
Slime sobbered. horrible. >aw her reel
Add drag her oozy flank
And sprawl among the deft young waves that
And leapt and turned In many n sportive wheel
As she thumped onward with her numbering
draft.
We believe this Is a poet who could
almost do justice to the Chicago stock
yards. The rhythmic swish of the pig
sticker's knife and the thrilling splash
of the hog In the scalding vat ought to
thrill such bard to the very core of
his immortal soul. Give us a call,

A Surprise.

Last Monday evening Mrs.
George Benadum was given a sur
prise by the lady Maccabees, at
her home in Riverdale. To say she
was surprised would be putting it
mildly. Games and music was in
dulged in until late hour, when
supper was announced, and all
were invited to the dining room.
The table was laden with every
thing desirable, and every one did
their part. At late hour all de-
parted for their homes, intending
to have more such surprises in the
future.

The sneexe Wood Tree.

The remarkable sneeze wood tree is a
native Of Natal and other parts of
South Africa. It's funny name was
given to 1t because one cannot saw it
without sneezing violently.
The dust of its wood has just the
same effect as the strongest snuff and
is so Irritating to the nose that work
men are obliged to sneeze even when
they are planting it.
If piece of the wood Of this tree Is
put In the mouth, 1t is found to have
very hitter taste. and no doubt it is this
bitterness which prevents insects of
any kind from attacking the timber Of
the "sneeze wood" tree.
The fact that insects find 1t 80 disa-
greeable makes its wood very valuable
for work that Is required to last q long
time.

A Letter From Daniel panlsen.
Editor ONO DrMoonAr.

Editor OHIO DEMOCRAT:
Having once been resident of
your County, few lines from this
country might be of some interest
to portion Of your many readers.
While spending few years in
Pickaway, heard some fattering
reports about Illinois, what was
then called the garden spot of the
West. About the first of March
1879, in company with friend
packed our few belongings and
took the train at Logan, for vii
lage in Illinois, called Ivesdale.
We arrived there about a o'clock
A. M. After hustling around we
got our breakfast, and then we in
quired of our host if we could
hire a conveyance into the country
about six miles. He looked at us
and said he didn't think team
could get there on account of mud
and water we bade him good morn
ing and set out to 60 as far as we
could afoot, and by wading and 60
ing out of our way we finally reach
ed our destination, and after rest
ing awhile we began to talk as to
the prospects of what we had
found. My friend said he though
they were trying to cultivate a
land that was intended only for
the geese and ducks, while i
thought what few people lived here
would soon have to leave on ac-
count of sanitary conditions of the
whole country. Very unfortunate
for me, my friend was called back
home on account of sickness and
death of his mother, and was left
somewhat alone; at times was very
much disgusted with the sticky
condition of the soil. But erelong
the country began to look better.
They organized Drainage Districts,
brought the mud plow for capstan
ditcher) into service, and then the
dredge-boat and then the tile drain,
which makes this the finest coun-
try for agricultural purposes in the
United States.
We are in Champaign county,
what we call Central ILL.,, in the
great corn belt, corn and oats
grow in abundance here and all
vegetation. Wheat is not raised
II this part of the state to any
great extent; horses, cattle, and
nogs are raised here with profit.
1t has been a question with a
good many as to the health of this
country, and 1 will say since this
country has been drained, it is just
as healthy as any place I ever lived,
while before it was just as un-
healthy.
Land here varies in price accord
ing to location and improvements,
all the way from $40 to $110 per
acre, which some would think is
very high. But 1 think land is
just as cheap here as anywhere if
the value is considered. l will say
to the young men of Ohio, go to
any good country and grow with
it, no difference what your circum-
stances might be, there is yet a
chance for you. While Ohio has
some good land there is some very
poor. DANIEL DANIsoN.

big Strike of Oil.

Beaumont, Tex, Jan. 16.-The ex-
citement here over the big oil we'll in
creases with each hour. There is no
indication that the flow of oil from
the geyser will make any change in
the character of the fluid. Captain
Lucas, upon whose land the we'll is To-
Gated, is busly making preparations
for an attempt to stop the immense
flow, and 1t will be made today. The
town continues to fill up and the
streets suggest a great holiday event.

Lincoln Memorial School split.

Middlesboro, Ky, Jan. 15.-The trus-

Cumberland Gap, Tenn, have had a
division and some OF them have start
ed a rival college, calling 1t the Jeffer-

ences. The Lincoln Memorial school,
