One of the most influential papers
in the South, the Atlanta Constitution,
hits the New Orleans malcontents the
following good rap, concerning that
'bargain" to put Hayes in:


AS to the part the southern Sena-
tors and representatives took in the
business of inaugurating Mr.. Hayes,
when they saw that his Inauguration
was inevitable, we desire to saw to
the North once and for all, that their
action is justified by the results. We
trust it is true that they bargained
with Hayes to do us justice. We
trust it is true that they plotted to
tarn the governments of the southern
States over to the administration of
our own people. We trust they
were wise enough and patriotic enough
to do this-otherwise we should feel
bound to regard them as bound over
to the utter unthrift of idiocy.

The Port Townsend Press says that
it is reported that the Governor We
toed the bill authorizing the counties
to vote subsidy to the Seattle and
Walla Walla Railroad. This may be
the secret of no reference being made
thereto in his Proclamation for the
election on April 9th. The prospects
of the people voting for such sub
sidy in any event is considered dubi-
Gus.

The finest exhibition of cheek we
have heard of for some time can now
be found on Puget Sound. The
Tacoma Herald says:


Regular loggers upon the Sound de-
termine to stop all logging upon gov
ernment land by transient men They
think such competition little too
rough to be borne"


The command goes forth that only
regularly established loggers viii here
after be permitted to filch and steal
the timber from the lands of the Gov
ernment Only rich men can rob the
Government on the Sound. Poor men
must stand back or take the punish
ment that small thieves deserve.

|. ANY person who takes a paper regularly
from the post-ofiice, whether directed in his
name or another's, or whether he has sub
scribed or not-is responsible for payment


g If Il person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount, whether the
paper is taken from the office or not.


g. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from The post;

The Walla Walla Watchman says
that "the doctors don't know what they
are talking about when they assert that
diphtheria is caused by sink sewerage.


1t says that the use of pork as an ar
ticle of food is the cause of the disease. "


Such remarks are rather rough on
the many children of Jews on the coast
that have perished of diphtheria, as
well as an insinuation against the
knowledge of the upper country doctor.

BY strict party vote in the House

The Historian says great many peo-
pie at Astoria, and in that vicinity,
''are on the sell''-that is to say they
want to pack up and quit the place.
If any have such notions in their
heads, now is the time to carry the
same into execution. If they do not
avail themselves of the present dull
times and succeed in selling out and
moving away, by and by these dull

compelled to take double what they

DEAR JOURNAL We passed tho
Fourth very pleasantly here with nice
pic ric and dance in the evening. The
True Blue Boys certainly looked very
6tae on their return from French Gulch
alter their defeat. Aside from that, they
had very pleasant time, everything that
could be done to make the boys enjoy
themselves was done by the people of
French Gulch who deserve much credit
for the way they fixed up to receive the
True Blue boys. Although badly beaten
they die game and refuse to credit the
French Gulch boys with their defeat, the
glory of which they claim is due to bows
from Shasta. In the evening everybody
attended the incest Ball and Supper
which has been given at French Gulch
for Is years, and the True Blue fellows
did the Supper especial justice. They
sang and punished lager beer until the
old settlers said it reminded them of the
good old times long passed. Our boys
are not yet satisfied, but wish to play the
Gladators one more game. Health here
is generally good, except that Mr.. Rum
felt has been complaining somewhat of
late. "

THE ARMY WoRM.-This destructive
pest has made its appearance here for the
first time. There are millions of them
and everything green is being eaten up
by the voracious creatures. Several
places in the basin are overrun with them
ut present. In answer to the question
" Where does the Army Worm come
from ?'' the Sacramento Bee says /:
They come from the fields on which
they feed. 1t is the larva or grub of a
night flying moth, called Leucania. ;
These moths deposit their eggs in great
mum bcrs, and the result is n small naked
grub which grows very rapidly. And as
they all come 20 maturity about the same
:ime they begin active operations in a
body"

THE best way to keep up with the

is to subscribe for the TRINITY JOURNAL

saying there is nothing in the paper"

of carrying off the copy which youI
neighbor subscribes and pays for. Think
the matter over seriously and perhaps
you will come to sensible conclusion
and hand in your name accompanied by
the amount of a years subscription. We

Among the many wonders of the

the little comparriot, the dainty, the
delicate, and the irrepressible Amer

time to Europe, and who airs her

her set ct defiance the haughGy ia

Albion and the excessive gaucherie

FreEch girl When she comes from
England il is scarcely necessary to
say that sne allows herself TO be sur
prised By little or nothing tha. she
treats tlis pearl Of Paris with cool
yet wc,Lbred diseain,i which would
arouse the vindictivness Of the Gsuls
could they understand it. She will
drink ice water, she will hirt, and
she will persist that there is nothing
whatever which could render it worth
her while to remain on this side of
the ocean. She has an impression
that Paris was burned to ashes dur
ing the commune, snd she is surpfis-
to see it So well built up again. As
for the exhibition, she declares that
is is not as fine as ''ours," and her pa
triotism is 30 earnest that she would
like TO declare her nationality at ev-
cry second step Heaven bless her,
she is bewildering mystery-a
lovely mass of Contradictions a be-
ing to be very proud of and to allow
to conduct herself just as she pleases


Now and then one encounters the
serious Boston lady. who has come
over with the intention OF learning
Paris and the Exhibition by heart
before she returns. She goes at the
work with grim persistence and
with disregard for physical dis
comfort which makes her apparently
more robust English sister hold up
her hands in holy horror. Bos-

Stock raising is conceded BY all TO
be the essential source Of profit ia
our Western farming, and good stock
is furthermore admitted to pay the
best, but the care and keeping Of
farm stock is an important consider
alton, when the bes. profits are ex-
pected.


The feed for stock seems to be the
only consideration by many farmers,
and while this is bountifully supplied,


many other important interests Ore
over looked, such IS shelter, pure


water, pure air and clean quarters.


Shelter and protection from bad


weather is cheaper than feed, even


here in our land Of plenty. Then,


too, il sustsins health and yigor that
enables the food to produce the best
results of growth and fat Barns
are, Of course, desirable for the best
stabling Of animals. but If barn is
not attainabIe, or too small for all
the stock, do not neglect them on
that account, but put up straw or
fodder sheds, protected on three sides,
open to the south. and you furnish
grateful shelter from storms that will
bountifully repay its cost every year,
and you can soon build the barn with
your profits Of the shed.


Pure water is also an important
consideration in successful stock rails
ing. as important to stock as to man,
and while our Western prairie farms
have not the running brooks OF New
good water is easily pro-
vided in abundance by wells and
cisterns with wind mills, 80 univer-
sally adopted in some parts Of the
West with the best satisfaction, or by
ponds, which is the most general
this region, and when
fenced TO keep the stock out,
and the water supplied TO the stock
with self-opersting water checks, q
supply Of good water the
whole year around may thus be pro-
sided, without having to drive the
stock two or three miles to the river,
Dr. else to let them do without in the
heat Of summer or the midst Of
winter, for sufficient care is not al
ways taken to store up water against
such contingencies.


Provide clean quarters with good
and air.


The farmer who is thus careful to
,rovide for his stock, will find the
,est market for his farm crops, be
will breed only thoroughbred males.
md with good stock and good care
here is money in breeding stock on
,ur western farms, while raising
Grub stock with poor treatment does

There is no law to compel man
to tell all he knows, nor is there any
reason why he should do go.


A mans reserUe Of intelligence Is
his shield in the game or warfare Of
life. Without il be is constantly
exposed to depredations from selfish
men, who, knowing his strength and
the avenues which lead to its foun-
dations are ever on the alert 10
undermine and weaken his position
for tbier own aggrsndizement. A man
will not publicly state that he has an
amount of money about his person,
because be well knows that such in
formation is liable to prompt some
one to rob him. He is reticent about
it, preferring it to be thought that he
is without money. Every personal
interest of a man should be equally
guarded If you open your gs:es,
your cattle may run away, while
others steal in to feed upon your sub
stance If you open your mouth in
discreetly, the result is even worse
All this is well known TO many peo-
pie who wisely keep their own eoun-
sci, and save themselves from peeu-
lation.


But the love Of praise or gain, In
duces men to talk of themselves aud
assume to be what they are not; to
boast Of characteristics and posses
sions to which they are entire
strangers; to make their goods better
than they are. Constant talking
must tell TOO much Of ones self, or tell
lies; neither OF these is consistent
with the interests or bePpiness Of
mankind.


A mans reseTCe is bis true capital;
all else is exposed and subject to loss.
1t is as the foundation of q monument,
secure and out Of sight, upon which
may be built the loftiest superstrue-
ture. The strusture may blow down
or crumble 10 pieces, but the founda-
ton is a reserve upon which another
may be erected. Bot how shall
thoughtless, busy men, who do not
understand this principle, be led to
avail themselves Of its good Offices.

Honest international paper IN oney
is that which represents provision for
its payment at the place where it is
payable. Dishonest international
paper mon ey is that used by parties
unable to make such provisions. 1t
is always a disturbing element in
affairs, and where the amount ia large
q most potent one The excessive
damages to which the drawers of
dishonored bills of exchange
are liable is expressly de-
signed as punishment for their dis
honest utteranee


The paper money Of banks is hon.
est money when it represents the
previous provision of coin
or merchandise adequate for
its discharge This money
is usally issuedin the discount of bills,
and serves the purpose of breaking
them up into denominations suited to
the means and convenience of every
consumer. So long as the banks dis
count bills given for corresponding
values Of merchandise, they need not
bold any considerable amounts of coin
their bills retiring .heir own liabiI-
tiles. Bank money is dishonest money
when it does not represent, either in
the hand OF the bank or Of the public,
means fully adequate to its retirement.
Such money is always an element Of
mischief, and is always got out of the
way in the speediest manner posi-
bic.


A currency which. from its own in
herent weakness, is always at a dis
count from the par Of coin is always
dishonest money; and none is 30 dis
honest as that Of governments, which
seldom or never, by their pay menI,
make them the equivalent of gold

ADVICE TO THOSE WHO OwE.-
Make a full estimate Of all you owe,
and of all that is owing you. Reduce
the same to a note. As fast as you
collect pay over to those you owe. Ii
YOU cannot, renew your note every
year, and get the best security you can.
Go to business diligently and be indus
trious; waste no idle moments; be very
econ omlcal IN all things; discard all
pride be faithful in your duty to God
by regular and hearty prayer morning
and night; attend church and meeting
regular every Sunday; and do unto other
men as you would that they do unto
you. If yeu are too needy in clrcum-
stances TO give to the poor, do what
ever else is in your power cheeriullyl
but if you can, help the poor and un'
fortunate. Pursue this course diligently
and sincerity for seven years, and il you
are not happy, comfortable and inde'
pendent come to me and l will pay
your debts.

Old lady Jones borrowed Mrs.
Browns receipt for making watermelon
plckces, the other day, and being hard
Of hearing, and as she couldn't see to
read well, she got her grandboy, jake,
to peruse it for her. jake took the pa
per like a dutiful child, and, holding it
upside down commenced:


Take green watermelon-'


why, jake, amt you mistaken; 1
thought the melon must be ripe


%, watts the matter id YOU; jew ever
see a watermelon that want green'


Cut the watermelon into four halves


But there amt only two halves 10
anything, l don't believe yeu are read
ing that right, jake


We'll, don't halye to. But anyhow
that's wat the reseet says. Then soak
the water melon ina pint cup


We'll, l amt here to tell the where
as and the howfores. I'm just readln'
the facts, ann you kan put IN the philos-
ophy to suit yer taste. After soaking
the melon, put it in skillet and fry 1t
for four days


L wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such
a reseet at that said the old lady, but
jake kept on.


Then put the watermelon in quart
bowl and pour over 1t gallon of vine-
gar, taking care not to spill the vine-
gar


I'd lust like to know how you can
pour a gallon into quart without spill
ing any of it, but Jak Q continued:


Then sift a peck OF red peppers
through a milk-strainer over the melon;
and to one cup Of butter and the whites
and the yolks and the shells Of three
eggs, and throw in the old hen that laid
'em, and Tour Sticks Of CINNAMON drOps,
and bottle of DR.. Mary Walkers Vim
egar Bitters, and two tablespoonful Of
sassafras, and ten grains of quinine, and
run it through a coffee mill, and let it
stand till it fcrments, and then put in
to a tin can, and tie the can to dogs
tail-this will stir it up 10 the right con-
sistency-a and then you can turn it of
into crooks and have it ready for use.
Serve it up cold and spread it on mince
pie, and it makes capital dessert, and
jake slid out ofthe door, and left the
old lady looking like wrinkle on
monument.

he never received photographic dispatch;
he never listened to the 'fzz' of an

count the moments before whose eX-
piration she would 90 down.


All was done in that brief interval
which men, energized with despair and
working with the audacity and strength
Of liends, could accomplish. The boats
were lowered and filled, and it was
supposed that every soul on board was
rescued, when suddenly a piercing
scream arose, and by the red light
streaming high over the, side of the
vessel, the forms OF man and a
woman might be seen clinging to the
bulwarks. The passengers in the over
crowded boats looked up and mur-
INJURED.


Save The woman ! Save the woman! !
shouted some Of the men. There is
only room for one more here. Two
would capsize u.s.


At that moment the man whom we
have mentioned as having SO closely
observed the lady aud gentleman at the
hour OF sunset, stood up on his seat in
the boat nearest the vessel. The red
light fell full upon him, and for the
second time that day he and the lady
and gentleman stood cyeng each other.
But now certain death waited for one Of
them, and as the two helpless creatures
at the vessels side looked down upon
him, they thrilled with the words that
left his lips.


Ellie. there is room here for one
more, but not for two. Wait a moment;
Twill make room for two. Think of
me, sometimes, will you;'


He made a certain gesture with his
arms toward her, as though he aspired
to kiss her, or touch her garments's
hem. Then, with one yeammg look
upward. he jumped deliberately into
the sea, which opened its arms TO re-
celye him and hid him forever.


Nota momcnt was to be lost. How
the lady and gentleman managed to
reach the boat they never knew but
reach it they did, and after a hideous
night of danger and terror were rescued,
with the other passengers, by passing
ship next morning aud sped upon their
outward path.


And Ellie In long after years, when
life was very dim and faded to her, and
her second husband was laid in the
tomb, one thought gave solace to her
age-the hope Of meeting sometime,
somewhere, the man who amid all his
wicked weaknesses had managed to
keep his love for her as pure and
passionate as the earliest moment when
il came to bless him, and who, as the
only sacrifice remaiRiDg, had given his
life for her and hers.

our prayers are, the better; the plalnesl
humblest language which expresses our

A parrot created some excitement in
a baggage car on the Chicago, Burling-

since. The cage, enclosed in paper,
was put on a coffin, and very soon for

from the coffin, crying 'Lemme out'
