solely upon the Lske Shore Railroad

the company in numerous suits for dam
ages, the prospect of which caused many
holders of Lake Shore to unload on Wall

TO become detached. Discovering the loss Of

was soon cleared away and the body Of a

James Dunbar, Of South Wilmington, was
discovered. He had evidently been run over
by the cars, but how be got there is not yet
explained. One supposition is that he was
stealing ride and was killed in the collision,
and the other is that he was sitting on the
track and was run over.

In the declaration of the Ottoman govern ment as to Russian subjects we have touch of nature, There are certain points of con duct that become the standards by which men are measured and their characters judged, and they arc points of the same crucial nature for nations. Perhaps the most important of these is the treatment of these subjects of a nation against which war is made. l, is the theory of a high civilization that war is not made on individ- uals, but on government; it is the theory of barharism that war simply opens the door to murder of all persons of the hostile nat ionality. In eases where government loses its control of the people and the baser ele- ments may act their will they will make it unpleasant for the inimical foreigners if they catch them, as was sometimes seen in France in the last war with Germany; but 1t Is not conceivable that France or England, or any other civilized Power in the full pos session of regular government could SD fear the bad passions of the multitude as to be compelled to require that all subjects of a State with wich they were at war must leave the country. Turkeys declaration to this effect shows how essential is her barbar- ism and sow superficial and varnish like is her civilization.

What George NJ. Pinney does not know

 about rings is evidently not worth Knowing. ! The difficulty the public have, is to dis | tinguish between what George NJ Pinney

 knows and what he wants the public to be-

 lieve. The statement with which he chose

 to favor the Chronicle is kind ot n pictorial view of himself as he is willing to be | painted in his new role of rcformer He is

 the white figure in a group of very dark ones. Of half score of men with whom | he was associated in business and politics.

 hs Is the only one who was not trying io steal something. If Pinncy stole anything It was by accident and against his will He

 dld not start in to do any such thing. He

 may have bent a little ia the force of cir cumstance, but the action was involuntary

 and must not be accepted as an index of

 Pinneys true character.

 If Pinney's story is half true, some DOT ton of 1t can be proved. If William R. Carr has in his possession half a million dollars worth of Pinney's property, the fact probably is susceptible Uf proof. If the same gentleman expended $l 300 in votes for Page at the rate of s d vote. some evidence of that transaction should appear If General La Grange regarded certain memorandum book as worth Sl,95O. therr should be some way of showing what made that particular memorandum book so valu. able. If Senator Sargent stood between the navy ring and investigation the public want tn know, when and where and what were the charges. But it is necessary, in matters of such importance, to take a little time for investigation before arriving at positive conclusions.

 The public have right to know all the facts, and the innocent parties who loaned money in good faith on paper really signed by the Governments trusted officer. will naturally seek tO recover the amount of their losses If Pinney tells the truth, both the public and his creditors will have their rights. But the startling charges of Pinney are empLatically denied by large majority of the parties whom he accuses of crime. Senator Sargent proposes to sue Pinney's newspaper organ for libel Carr will do the same. IL k quite likely that Page. if not La Grange, will follow suit. Certainly, if Pnney does not publish the truth. the charges he makes are lihellous in the high est degree. IL Is n matter for regret, that there Is not some provision of law by which such gross charges could be more speedily investigated. than through the process of libel suits. But justice k slow if not always sure, and those who prefer sober truth to sensational fiction must necessarily wait San Francisco Call.

The glorious fourth has nearly be-
come a memory. What remains of it
is but the ghost of its former self. The
gorgeous military displays are aban-
doned the parades have dwiHdled to

is a lost art. The inspiring idea hav-
ing been dispelled, the outward sym

acquaintance with Great Britain sho wed
that what the war of independence
accomplished here, political agitation
effected there. Anglo-S -Saxons on both

widening the borders of hnman free

tanning hostility to England could no

fit of mankind-were intellectually
greater. The birthday of the nation
is not only associated with the names
of those who signed the declaration of
independence, and of those who fought
to maintain it, but with the names OF
those who made steam navigation an
accomplished fact, who perfected the
loom, who invented the telegraph, who
placed distant continents in instant
communication who made arts and

Two stories that are told of LeouzOn
le Due of the czar of Russia and of his
brother Constantine in their early youth,
are interesting as showing the strict i'm
partiality in which they were brought up,


Constantine, who held at fourteen
years of age the post of grand admiral,
but who remained under the guidance OF
of Admiral Lutke, promoted to a sailor
against the wishes of Lutk, who declined
to sanction the promotion. Constantine
appealed to bis father, who supported
Lutk, much to the wrath of the young
admiral, who expressed his indignation
at being grand-admiral of the empire
while yet unable to promote a sailor, and
instantly offered his resignation. ac-
cept it," replied Nicholas. " You have
never had anything but the name of
your post, and will never permit you to
bear it until you have learned the prin-
cipal quality of chief-that of properly
knowing and Judging the men who are
under your command"


The story with regard to the present
czar is very much the same. Also at
fourteen years of age he was an officer in
the guard, and on one occasion, in going
through the palace, he passed hall in
which were several persons OF high mill
tary rank, who saluted the young prince
as he passed. This mark of respect
greatly pleased the young man, and he
passed and repassed the hall several times
in the hope of again receiving it; but
the generals took ne more notice of him.
Annoyed at this, Alexander went to
complain to Nicholas, who, instead of
consoling him, severely reprimanded him
for his vanity, and at once5leprived him
of the rank he held until he should prove
| himself capable of enduring it honorably.

Now the true way to fatten pigs, at
any season of the year, is to give por-
tion OF coarse food such as turnips, beets,
carrots, potatoes, cooked clover hay, or
grass, the last being the natur7l food Of
the pig, and in summer always at hand
While in cold weather it is necessary to
resort to roots, which have required
manual labor to grow, in summer the pig
can get its own grass, and only requires
a moderate allowance of grain to keep it
growing rapidly and have it ready for the
knife when grass ceases to grow. If we
take all the hogs fatteDed in the United
States in year, ard change the time of
fattening from cold to warm weather,
one-half of the grain now fed will make
all the pork. This would be a saving of
food, at least to the amount of SIS, 900, 900
per year.--iSouthern Farmer.

A recent writer says: After long
observation l have come to the con-
sion that great majority of the farmers
that are poor might have made money
If you inquire into their business habits
you will always find that they always
sold the best and kept the poorest. Fer
instance, if they have too many sheep
on hand, they pick out the best to be
sold. If you ask them why they do so,
they will say, Because they bring twice
as much as the others, and l am hard up
just now for morey. l know that it is
not good plan, and do not Intend 10
follow it always l think the habit of
selling the best is very poor plan for
any man, don't care what his circum-
stances may be. L have a man in my
mind now who always sells his poorest
sheep for more than twice as much as
the average farmer gets for his best. l
have seen farmers in the fall pick out
their best pigs to fatten, because they
would make a few more pounds of pork
than the Others. This 1 call cry poor
