verdi and bismarck on RIFLES.

The composer Verdi was offered a
title of nobility by King Victor En-
manuel 1t was intended that he should
be created Marquis or Comte de Bus
seto, after the estate upon which he
lived. The composer refused the offer
energetically. He considered that Verdi
was somebody and that the Marquis
de Busseto would be nobody.
Even Bismarck was unable to parry
a blow of this character. When the
young emperor broke with him he
conferred upon him the title of Duke
Of Luxembourg. Bismarck received the
parchment with this exclamation:
"a pretty name! 1t will be handy
Tor travelling incognito."
Some days after a parcel arrived at
Varzin bearing the address Mime. la
Duchesse de Luxembourg"
Bismarck. to whom it was delivered,
being then at table. arose and, offering
the letter to his wife. remarked IRON

rather against the rural delivery. 1t is
a shame that such a suggestion should
even be made. Rural free delivery can
be made source of profit to the govern
ment and an immense convenience TO
the people. Simply let congress enact
the Bennett bill, which provides for a
local parcel post at nominal rates.
Under such law the rural carrier can
collect and transport parcels, packages,
passengers, etc, along his route, and de-
liver same to the local postoflice to be
transmitted to persons anywhere in the
territory served by the Office, and all
for nominal fee. There is everything
to say in favor of this reform and little
to say against it. This plan does not
even involve any reduction in the
present more than high rate on parcels
from one postoflice TO another.
In conclusion let me say that the
farmer is indispensable. Others may
scoff at him, call him "mossback" and
"old hay seed" nicknames which are
offensive to any self respecting farmer,
but
In His own image God created him.
And over land and sea gave him TO reign,
Subject TO Him alone Of whom he holds
He bears toward all a wise benignant rule;
The feathery tribes feed from his liberal hand;
Paupers and peasants. they that underground
Delye In perpetual night, and they that drive
The loom and spindle, they that throng the mart
The money-changers, gamblers blind with
greed,
They that 90 down the paths of sea In ships.
Prophets and bards, and priests and kings
yea all
Receive Of him their daily dole Of bread.
Let him but stay his hand, and rust corrodes
The ponderous engine; every yalient keel
Decays at desOlate wharves; dense peopled
streets
Are the inheritance OF the hungry wolf.
And all the light and JOY escapes the world,
What tongue could utter or what pen portray
The piercing pathos of such hopeless state?
Imperial mani Co-worker with the wind
And rain and light. heat and cold and all

A Hog Wonder.

The most notable achievement
of this community in thirty years
was the shipment last Tuesday of a
large drove of hogs by J.. M.
Mathis, We have been aceustom-
ed for over thirty years to witness
the importation of large quantities
of cured hog products, but to see
the turning of the tables and the
shipping of liYe hogs was some
thing so extraordinary that we
could hardly believe the evidence
of our own eyes. Who will now
have the temerity to say that this
is not a hog country? The fact Of
the matter is cotton and tomatoes
have dethroned and demonetized
the hog, as coal has defueIized
wood. But praise to the boil vice.

dence here In the future and abide
with US for all time. We extend a
cordial welcome to tha hog, for as
sure as the sun rises and sets the
hog will become next year the bas-

cannot show a good reserve to fall
back on in the shape of corn and
hogs will have to seek more con-
genial climes, for the day of reck-
