FRED JEWELL, Sec'y if SURE WILL THE HARVEST BE J f you will use tho Dowagiac drill now on sale at tho store of Burks & Cadman corner of 10th and Q streets. We want to say to our readers and riends that wo hare seen the above named drill and think it ono of the best drills in tho market. It seems to 1x3 well made and perfect in its adaptabil ity to the wants of tho farmers of this state. Wo think the time nas come when our farmers should try more argoly sowing fall wheat, and wo think they would bo more careful in the selection of tho seed they sow and use a good drill for putting it in tho ground they will get a crop. Ast. tbo above drill, wo would say, call and see it before you buy a drill, or it certainly has merit in its con struction and operating qualities.

Among other curious ways he was in the habit of asking a blessing on each particular thing on the table. At breakfast one morning there was some bear meat, and his petit ion was as follows: "Lord, bless the coffee, bless the bread and butter, but as to the bear meat, Lord, I dont know what' to say." At another time there had been an affray amonfr some men, and one of them was hurt. A trial took place, and the old clergyman, who had seen the fight, was called as a witness. "What was Salson doiHff?" was the first inquiry. "Oh,-he was slashing around," re plied the old man. "Well, sir, what is that?" ;,IIe was just knocking about him here and there?" "Now. sir. tell us plainly what did he do to this man?" asked tho lawyer, with a note of vexation in his voice. The. clercryman thought a moment, and then answered slow'y; "Why, he enticed him." "Enticed him! How?" "lie enticed him with a crowbar. He used the crowbar to persuade the man to entice him; and by a series of pokes and blows he succeeded," concluded the reverend gentleman.

A brilliant young London surgeon has aroused the hostility of the pro- fession by his outspoken denunciation When Did the Little People Live What Was Their Doom t In a quaint old geography which I once had tho good fortuna to o'vn tho western coast of South America was decorated with tiny figures of men and women among whom meandered the words: "The land of the Pig mies." More modern maps make no mention of such people, says a writer in Youth's Companion, and I had for gotten that I had believed in their existence, when I happened lately to come across them again. A few months ago. perrhed on. tho summit of one of the highest of the Peruvian Andes, were discoverol tho rui of a wonderful pigmy cHy. the home of a race of dwarfs; and some of its most interesting reiics all that were transportable aro now on their way northward, to find a resting-placo in our national museum at the Smith sonian institution at Washington. From these discoveries it appears that the old belief in a t'ny race, in habiting the lowlands on tho Pacific coast, was well-founded. There the little people lived, unmolested, so far as we know, for an indefinite time, till they wore at last drivt n buck upon tho mountains by a larger and sti'onger race. Then they built and occupied the desertod city which to day excites our wonder. This city of tho past is built with great care, 15.00U feet above the level of the sea. surrounded by a wall twelve feet hip;h and three feet thick. In its center i3 a high rock, crowned by the citadel, which is still in a fair state of preservation. The houses were all flat-roofed, cov ered with flat pieces of stone, over laid with earth to keen out the rain. Each stood tlistinct from its neighbors, and opened into the comuoa court yard, which had a single gateway into the nearest street The street was about two feet wide. From three of tho courts openings have been found, leading down into round rooms, six fee.t in diameter, unlighted and dreary, which may have been used as dun geons. In another part of the little city have been found several mummies of adults. One of them is twenty-seven inches tall an acknowledged chief and ruler, perhaps, by virtue of his majestic height and bearing. When did the little people live? How long ago did their carefully built homes fall into decay? What was their doom? How strange it seems, that after it may be thous- auds of years, they should live again for us, :snd tho last tokens of their existence be brought to excite the at tention of the newest nation of the world. The Topeka Tribune: It is sad to antemplate that the party of Lincoln and Stanton and Chase and Garfield has absolutely no policy on the ques tion of coinage, but has come down to a miserable straddle of that question that is commanding more attention than any other.
