Col. Hubert G. lugcrsoll was lately
employed in a caae which involved
the manufacture of ardent spirits,
aud iu his speech to the jury he used
the following lauguagc:
"I am-aware that tlierc is a prejur
dree 'against any, mau engaged iiUhe
.manufacture of alcohol. I believe
from the thne it issues from the
'.coiled and poisonous worm iu the
distillery uutil it empties into the
hell of death, dishonor aud crime,
that it is demoralizing to everybody
that touches it, from the source to
where it ends. I do not believe that
"anybody can contemplate the sub
ject without being prejudiced
against the crime. All wo have
to do is to think of the wreck
on cither sido of the stream of death,
of the 6uicides, of the insanity, of
the poverty, of the destruction, of
the little children tugging at the
breast, of weeping aud despairing
wives asking for bread, of the men
of genius it has wrecked, the men
struggling willi imaginary serpents
produced by the dcvlish thing; and
when you think of the jails, of the
alms houses, of the prisons, and the
scaffolds, on cither hand, I do not
wonder that every thoughtful man
is prejudiced against this vile stuff
called alcohol. Intemperance puts
dowu youth in its vigor, manhood
iu its strength, aud age iu its weak
ness. It breaks the father's heart,
bereaves the doting mother, extin
guishes natural affection, erases
conjugal love, blots out filial attach
ment, and blights parental hope, and
brings premature age iu sorrow to
the grarc. It produces weakness,
not strength; sickness, not health;
death, not life. It makes wives
widows, children orphans, fathers
fiends, and all paupers. It feeds
rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes
epidemic, invites cholera, imports
pestilence, and embraces consump-
tion. It covers the land with mis
ery, idleness and crime. It engen
ders controversies, fosters quarrels,
and cherishes riots. It crowds your
peuitcutiarics and furnishes victims
for the scaffold. It is the blood of
the gambler, the clement of the bur
glar, the prop of the highwayman,
aud the support of the incendiary.
It countenances and respects the
thief, esteems the blasphemer, vio
lates obligatious, reverences infamy.
It defames benevolence aud love,
scorns virtue and innocence. It in
cites the father to butcher his help
less offspring, and the child to grind
the parricidal-axe. It burns up men,
consumes women, detests life, curses
God and despises Heaven. It sub
orns witnesses, nurses perfidy, aud
defiles the Jury box."

Sun says :
ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION.
JSditors Sun: Seeing your call for
a statement on the profits of sheep
husbandry, I .here attempt to give
you my experience for the past four
years. I invested $120.00 in sheep
to try my luck, and here is the re
sult: Toiheep.. .Dr.?120.00 Cr.
BV wool .....'..'... " $230.74
By mutton ll'J.75
Sheep on hand value 520.00
Total $ tfKUo
Making a net gain of $743.50.
Of the thirty head of sheep I had
fourteen ewes. I think it the most
profitable and mo3t pleasant brauch
of husbandry for the following rea
sons: It takes but a small invest
ment to start with ; it brings returns
twice each year in wool and lambs ;
lca6t trouble to take care of; will
clean the farm from weeds; will
thrive where cattle will starve; the
manure is worth double that of
horse-stable or the cattle-yard, and
it don't take a $300 machiue to har
vest the crop, either. Try it, broth
er farmers, you will "find more pay
in it than any other brauch of farm
ing. Our wool finds a hoi. mar
ket; not so with hogs, cattle and
grain, which we have to 6eud to a
foreign market. More anon.
Wheat CaltHrc
"Wheat is one of the most exten
sively grown crops of the American
farmer, and its importance as a
product for export is well known,
says D. Evans, Jr., in Ohio Farmer.
Tho acreage devoted to wheat cul
ture is simply immense and greatly
increasing, though tho average
yield per acre in some sections of
of our country might be very ma
terially iucrcased, by a better selec
tion of eced and by more care and
attention to the preparation of the
Reil and the harvesting of the crop.
In the selection of the seed, due
reference must bo made to the soil
and the climate of the particular
ection, in- which it is planted
(sowed). Seed wheat, however,
Ehould bo changed every two years,
or at the farthest every three years,
especially the white, beardless varie
ties. This has been onr experience,
and no doubt that of others, for we
have found it to be a decided iin-
jprpyencnt to tisc new 6eed, cyen
though it be brought from a distance
of only a few miles. Lime in suit
able quantities is invaluable in the
production of a good wheat crop,
as it checks any tendency to go too
Much to straw, at the same time
. furmishing the, grain with food.-'for
its propor growth.

A. Successful Mail on Morals.
Boys, listen to me. I am not sixty
years old and haye made ?50,000 by
my own exertions. I have a lair
English education and am tolerably
well informed; but had 1" only
kuown what I was capable of doing
at -fourteen years of Bge, I this day
could have had twice the education,
been better informed, with a higher
standard of morals a belter and
wiser man in every respect, with
double the property. The trouble
was, I lost half of my valuable time
between fourteen and thirty, be
cause I thought thero was nothing
in me and it was not worth while
to try.
I am persuaded that the 6ame
fceliug keeps many a man at the
bottom round of the ladder all his
life;. whereas, if he would take hold
with a steadj, firm hand, aud go
slow, but sure, the result would
astouish him iu thirty years. Try
it, boy6 ; use rigid economy of time
aud means; acquire all the useful
knowledge you can ; keep your
morals as pure as possible; be strict
ly temperate; have faith in God;
always tell the truth; your reward
will be certain, both in lime and
eternity. Remember that one ounce
of perseverance, seasoned with
truth, is worth a pound of brains
and money.
Boys, what I have 6aid is our Ar
miuian doctrine, and is full of truth.
Now, let us hear the Calvinist's side.
The sins of the parents aro visited
upou the children of the third and
fourth generations. If jour mother
was a wise woman, full of virtue
and truth; your father a model of
firmness, tempcranco aud truth ; aud
your grandparents on both sides of
uoblc stock thero is no telling
what you may accomplish. But if
your mother was a weak womau,
lacking iu virtue; your father a de
bauch and 'vagabond ; your grand
parents base people the chances
are against you. Blood will toll.
But the redeeming point is this:
Almost any of us 'have enough good
blood iu our veins, if properly
trained, to bring us to the front so
wc can make our mark ; aud there
are but few of u- who have not
enough bad blood in our make up to
sink us into the deptlis of infamy, if
indulged in. So, at last, we have
our destiny greatly iu our own
hands. G. li., in Rural World.
A Son Terrible Crime.
"Wheeling, February 21. The
facts connected with the incendiary
fire at Clarysville, Pa., reciting the
particulars of the attempt of a young
man to fire his father's house, men
tioned in these dispatches last even
ing, arc augmented to-day by fuller
reports from the scene of the occur
rence. James "Worrell, tho son and
the porpetrator of the unnatural
crime, was studying for the minis
try and a few evenings before the
fire led in a prayer meeting. It
seems his defire for money had be
come a mania with him. Some time
preceding the fire he stole several of
his father's sheep and sold the pelts
and then innocently helped his fath
er search for tho sheep. A short
time after this the house was robbed
of several hundred dollars, James
claiming to lose two dollars by the
robbery to blind the folks to the
fact that the robbery was iu reality
committed by him, which circum
stance has leaked out since the in
cendiary fire and the fixing of the
guilt upon the most unnatural son.
In these dispatches last evening it
was stated that one sister aud the
father were locked up in the burn
ing house, but it is now learned that
his five sisters were locked in their
rooms, and that after tho houso was
set on fire by James, one of his sis
ters escaped and fled across the
country toward a neighbor's, who
arrived iu time to rescue the family.
It is said that young Morrcll tried
to poison the family some time be
fore the fire. The young man is
said to have escaped to Ohio, assist
ed in his flight by his father, who
through all has tried to shield his
6on from the indignation of his
neighbors.
Four or five months are a com
paratively short period in history,
but iu matters political they may be
long enough for the rise and fall of
many "booms." What the Republi
cans want next June is the nomina
tion of the man who, while compe
tent and faithful to Hepublican
principles, can poll the largest pos
siblo vote in November as their
candidate for President. Hence, it
is not at all necessary for Republi
cans, having no private axe to grind,
but with the sucrppe of the party,
and not of a man. i.u t.t at heart,

come to the creek, are troubled with
that not nncommon malady among.

Little Billy was told : "Never ast

boys should wait until they are

was forgotten In the distribution,

flecting seriously, he asked : "Mam
ma, when little boys starve to death,
do they go to Heaven?"
Tulare The Remarkable Lake.
Fourteeu humau 6kulls, ranged
around in a circle, were found on
the island of Tulare Lake, Cal., a
few weoks ago. The mysterious
remiuders of some lost romance
were iu the middle of the island, a
small patch of grass, thick brush and
pigmy cottonwood trees. No other
bones could be fouud near them.
Near by ou tho bhore of the island
were two huts of basket work, but
both were untenauted. Tulare Lake
probably is the most mysterious spot
on the continent. It is three hun
dred miles south of San Francisco,
on a great plain. As the traveler
approaches the water appears to bo
higher thau (he land. The dry land
of the plain gives place to damp soil
a mile or so before water is reached.
When then the margin is found at
last, one may wade out for more
thau a mile and not get in above the
knee. The lake runs forty miles.
The bottom is formed of powdered
clam shells, and there aro hundreds
or small islands and bunches of tules.
Millions of white birds of the gull
kind tenant the islands, flock iu the
air, or skim the still waters. In the
Indian summer just passed the
whole lake waB veiled iu mist.
Mounds have been fouud along tho
shore, and beforo many months the
whole bottom will bo inspected, in
belief that It will show traces of a
submerged city.
Lime UlInClubSLccpticiKin.
Said Brother Gardner, at the last
meeting of the Lime Kiln Club: "I
was axed do odder day what dis
club didn't believe in, and dequcsh
ion was ono deserviu' of thought an'
retlekshuu. Speakiu' on behalf of
dose present an' miasm', I' think I
kin say :
"1. It doau' believe in hangin
clothes down cellar to dry.
2. It doau' believe iu puttin' a
ten dollar boss in frout of a fitly
dollar wagin.
3. It doan' believe dat talkin pol
ytics will buy codfish, or dat dispu
tin on religion will darn socks.
4. It doan' believe dat a cigar in
de raouf an' holes in de butes help a
man to get a job.
5. It doan' believe in paj in' cash

0. It doau' belieye dat de world

7. It doau' belieye in singiu' frew

An Oil City Irishman having
signed the pledge, was charged soon
afterwards with having drank.
'Twas me abseul-iniudeduess,'' said
Pat, 'an' a habit I have of talkin'
wid meself. I sed to mcself, bcz I,
"Pat, coom in au' havo a dhriuk.'
No, zer, sez I, 'I've sworn off.'
'Thin I'll drink aloue,' sez I to
mcself.' 'An I'll wait for ye out

A college professor once tried to
"convince Horace Greeley of tho
value of classic languages. The
professor said : "These languages
arc tho conduits of tho literary
treasures of antiquity.' Mr.
Greeley replied: "I like Croton
water very well, but it doefin't fol
low that I should eat a yard or two
of lead-pipe."
A little boy being asked by
another boy what ho was doing
now, replied, "I am cashier iu a
clothing store." uYou, cashior!"
said the other iu amazement. "Yes,"
said the little chap, "that's what the
the clerks call me. A hundred
times n day they holler 'cashier."
"Cash! here I" was what the clerks
said.
A ten year old bo'y, boasting of
his father's accomplishments, put it
thus; "My father can do almost
anything ; he's a notary public aud
ho's an apothecary, aud he can pull
teoth, aud he's a horse doctor, and
he can mend wagons and things,
and can play the fiddle: he's a
jackass at all trades."
"When uaturo would make any
thing specially rare and beautiful,
she always makes it little; little
pearls, litllo diamonds, little dews.
Little fortunes bring the most con

Courage is always greatest when,
blended with meekness. Intellect

it sparkles iu the setting of modest
distrust. And never does the hu

it forgoes revenge and dares to for
give injury.
Contentment produces, in some
measure, all those effects which the
alchemist usually ascribes to what
he calls the philosopher's stone, and,
if it does not bring riches, it does
the Bame thing by banishing the
desire for them.

I'ebraIca.
Another evidcuco of the richness
of the soil of Nebraska is found iu
the fact of the number aud great
growth of the native grasses, which
afford tho very best pasturage from
early spring until the month of No
vember. Those who have investi
gated the subject of the native
grasses claim no fewer' than one
hundred and fifty species. Among
other varieties the blue-joint grows
everywhere iu the State except on
the low bottom lands. Iu ordinary
seasons, and under favorable condi
tions its growth is from two and a
half to four feet, and often on culti
vated grounds it will grow to the
height of seven and ten feet. On the
up-lands, blue-joint grows in great
abundance aud is greatly relished by
cattle. Buffalo grass now in the
greatest quantity is found in the
western half of tjio State. This, it is
claimed, disappears before cultiva
tion, but it is nature's provision of
food for grain-eating animals during
wiuter, when tho animals are- com
pelled to remain on the prairie, as it
retains its nutriment all tho year
round. Among feed grasses that
grow abundantly iu the Stale are
several variotios of bunch grass ; and
in the low lands a native blue-grass,'
and what is kuown as tho spangle
top, which makes au excellent qual
ity of hay.
It was a question among (he first
settlers of Nebraska whether fruit
could be successfully grown in the
Stale or not, but finding tho wild
fruits, such as plums, grapen, aud
gooseberries growing in abundance,
it was thought that apple orchards
might bo cultivated with success.
So reasoning, the earlier settlers iu
the eastern part of the State planted
their orchards and their first plant
ings (ailed, but they persevered and
the result has been a complete sue
cosh. Nebraska fruits now compare
favorably with the best produced in
other stales. In 1871 Nebraska had
on exhibition at Richmond, Va., one
hundred and forly-six varieties of
apples, fifteen of peaches, thirteen of
pears, one of plums, and one of
grapes, and was awarded,, the first
premium for the best collection of
fruit among all the States. The
fruits of Nebraska have been exhib
ited at Boston, Chicago and at the
International Exhibition in 187G,tho
judges awarding prizes for eight
varieties of pears, large, smooth and
well colored, and for two hundred
and sixly-three varietied of apples,
the latter prize being for the unusu
ally large number of finely grown
varieties. Instead of orchards flour
ishing only in the eastern part of the
State aud near tho Missouri river,
they do well away out on the prairie
wherever nature's conditions of
growing fruit are observed.
The gentlemen at a dinner parly
were discussing the familiar line,
'An houest man's the noblest work
of God," when a little son of the lio.it
spoke up and said: "It's not true.
My mother's better'n any man that
was over made."
"If Jones undertakes to pull my
ears," 6aid a loud mouthed fellow on
a street corner, "he will just have
his hands full." The crowd looked
at tho man's ears and thought so too.
Tho fact there is so little sickness
iu Nebraska is very naturally ac
counted for by tho prevailing scarc
ity offence on which to paint ad
vertisements for pateut medicines.
