Pribably the most extensively | |know gambler in Omo is John Alexnder, of Columbus. He has | made some of the most reckless and lucky plays of any of them and has | donea great many things to attract , the atention of not only the {ing world, but that ot the world on | the aitside. A triend ot his tells a story about Alexander he vouches for, | wort repeating. Join struck a streak ot luck some | yearsago that lasted until he had | won nany thousands of dollars. It startdd in Washington court house, O., ad consisted. in the first place, |ot a winning ot good proportions froma couple ot dollars. It seemed |thatany bet Alexander made went his vay. During the run ot luck re- ferrai to Alexander was one day riding in a street car, and there be- ing ‘everal men in the car who knew him,he made the remark that he woud bet twenty-five dollars to one thatthe car would run off the track | before they reached their destination. ' Oneot the others, who considered | thata good bet even if he lost it, put tp a dollar, and John, who never wealens, posted twenty: five dollars. Before the car had gone two blotks it rar off the track fairly and square- ly. Akxander used to sleep over a taro bank that he conducted in Co- lumbus, and as the other games of the capital knew his penchant for bet- ting en any proposition, they were constantly inventing ” a scheme to “lane the coon There was a big Stone lving in tront of Alexander’s place day number of and one a sport- | ind if it has been in print it as | rank with himseit and selected active | young men cr mere personal follow- ers as his heutenants.

Mr. Tilden has been the subject of vehement and contradictory judg- ;ments. His friends have well-nigh canonized him as representing highest type of publ foes have 1c virtue; painted him as an adept in craft and intrigue. His partisans have held him up as the evangel ot a new and purer dispensation; his opponents declare that his ability is marred by selfishness and character ized by cunning. His tollowers have exalted him as the ablest and most high-minded statesman of the time; his critics have described him as a most artful, astute and unscrupulous politician. The truth doubtless lies between the two extremes. Adroit, ingenious and wary, skilltul to plan and strong to execute, cautious in judgment and vigorous in action, taciturn and mysterious as ,a rule, and yet singularly open and ‘frank on occasion, resting on the old tra- dition, yet leading in new pathways, surprising in the force of his blows, and yet leaving a sense ot reserved power, Mr. Tilden unquestionably ranks among the greatest masters of pojitical management that our day has seen. Certain it is that his ex- traordinary success and his excep- tional the democratic party with the conviction position had inspired that he was the one manto command victory, moved with and he torward to the presidency confidence which discouraged his opponents and inspired his supporters with a sense of irresistible strength. a ‘sports got into a conversation on the sidewalk on the probable weight of the stone in question. At that time there was nothing said about bet- tng. On that night Alexander, while sitting in the window of his bedrcom, cooling off, saw some of the boys load Mr. Stone wheelbarrow and cart it away. Shorly atter the stone was brought hack and dumped into its old posit- ion. It occurred to Alexander that the boys were setting a bear trap for him, and he concluded to the trap tor below, into a bait suckers. So he went procured a_ wheelbarrow, hauled the stone away, weighed it, knocked out a big chunk in the bot- tom, weighed the stone again, and replacea it in the street in front of his house. Repairing to his room, he went to sleep to dream the dreams of the innocent. The next day the gang came down to break him on the weight of that rock. Every gambler in town was in with the play, and John took all the bets of- fered, Some of the boys haven’t yet got done paying the money they borrowed to bet on that sure thing. —Cincinnat: Enquirer. Blaine’s Opinion of Goy. Tilden. In his ‘“‘Twenty Years of Con- gress’’ James G. Blaine says of Mr. Tilden: By a fortunate concurrence of con- ditions which he partly made, and which with signal ability he wholly turned to account, Mr. Tilden gained the one commanding position in the democratic party. He held the most vital state of the north in his grasp. He embodied the one thought which expressed the discontent with re- publicanism and the hope of the democracy. He evinced a power of leadership which no man in his party could rival. The democracy before his day could count but four chiets of the first rank—Jeffersoa, Madison, | Jackson and Van Buren. Mr. Tilden was not, indeed, a leader of the same class with these masters who for so long a period shaped the whole | thought and policy ot their party, ' much of its mgenuity a |but he displayed political | ot a very high order. capacity He was train- AlL- and had exhibited and power. led in the school of the famous \ t bany Regency, He placed ‘ideas and organization. He sought to captivate the ported it with the most minute and | systematic work. In his own state his reliance both upon; popular imagination | with a striking thought, ana he sup- | Rotation of Crops. Why not begin a system of rota- tion of crops this fall? The argu- system are unanswerable. It needs only a little thought on the part of the farmer to convince him of the correctness of the theory, but it takes more determination to put it into practice. Everybody knows better than they usually do, and so it 1s with the farmer ; ments in favor ot such a numerous and he knows that to grow one crop continuously on the same land will exhaust it, but having got into a certain line ot tarming it is hard for him to change. And he does not usually until torced to by the tailure ot the land to longer bear the crops he has been accus- tomed to grow. Itis usually more satisfactory to anticipate the imevit- able and do what must be done sometime before that time actually comes. The rotation best adapted to any one farm will depend much on the tarm, the locality and the markets. The one adopted by Prot. Sanborn on the College Farm at Columbia, Mo., will probably suit as large a number as any that can be adopted. He begins, say with a timothy sed. Manures and plows in the fall for corn tor spring, The corn is cut early and taken from the land as soon as cured, the land plowed and in the spring sowed to oats and seeded with clover. The oats are mowed early for hay, thus giving the clover a chance to come on and make a second crop for hay. The first crop ot clover the next season 1s cut for hay, but if the land needs improving the second crop is plowed under and wheat sowed. Ifthe land 1s in guod heart it can be cut for hay or saved for seed. With the wheat is sowed timothy, which is allowed to remain two years, plowing it up in the fall of the second year to plant to corn again the next spring, thus bringing us back to the beginning of the rotation again. This is a six years rotation and in the six years one gets seven crops, or it he saves the’second crop ot clover he gets eight. The land is manured every six years. Under such management instead of the land becoming ex- | hausted it will become stronger and | more tertile, as has been proven on the College farm and thousands ot | other cases.—Rural World.

Comes to Grief. The Chicago Mail says: R Raymond ples ne ad guilty in New York sentenced to two years in the penitenti ary Raymond has probab oly worked on halt the big new sp apers in this coun- try and England. He has also worked on a good many little ones. He was never yet on a Pah that he didn’t also try to “work”? i cash drawer either by forged bane orders or bogus checks. He has been connected with the Tribune and Times, and only last fall was the Springfield correspondent of the Chicago News. There probably was never a time that Raymond could notinstantly command a salary of $50 to $75 a week at legitimate newspaper work. There never was a time, however, when either $50 or $75, or even $150 per week would anywhere near satisfy his insatiable profligacy. He is everywhere ad- mitted to be one of the most remark- able scamps of these times. Ray- mond is not over 35 years of age, 1s six feet tail, weighs 250 pounds, has sany hair, a small and has a sandy mustache, most attractive manner. As long ago as 1873, at New York, he was arrested and sent to states prison for two years by Recorder Hackett for grand larceny, having stolen an overcoat from Mr, Frank- lin Davis at the Fitth Avenue hotel. He was then known as Arthur J Holmes. He served his full term. During 1879 aad 1$8o0 and a portion ot the following year he was a re- porter on the Herald,and was known as Ross Raymond. In 1881 he wrote a book entitled **No Laggards We,’ the plot and notes of which he stole from the writer, a friend of his. He worked day and night, and ina week the book was at the printer's. Hhs publishers, the Hubbard Bros., were mulched out of a large sum by the alleged author. In 1884 the American consul at Leeds, England, atter being victem- ized by Raymond, scattered bandbills over England, the continent, and over halt the United States, offering 250 for his arrest, giving in the bill a careful description of the fellow and his methods. wasn’t caught. Ot course he He turned up in Egypt next, during the war made on the rebels by the Enghsh. He got the correspondence of a Chicago, several New York, and a half-dozen English and continental papers, and must have made legitimately a hand- some income’ He was next heard of at Calcutta as an Egyptian bey, anintimate friend of Chinese Gordon. There at one time he had 48 servants, and lived for sixty days at the rate of $1,000 per day. He was royally entertained at state dinners and also entertained hosts of his triends in the same style. The leading hotels tought each other_to gain the custom ot this nobleman, and the latter thought nothing of ordering dinners that would run up into hundreds of dollars. Once he gaye a dinner that cost $2,000; but, of course, none of the hotel bills were ever paid. He goes to state’s prison for passing a worthless check on his last New York landlady for $29. The tellow who had successfully swindled the New York Herald and other papers out of thousands, who had in his brief career “gathered $100,000 by the shadiest kind ot methods, goes to the penitentiary for a paltry theft that just barely escaped being petty larceny. That is the inglorious end these Ross Raymonds usually come to. If one has a clover sod trom which a few crops have been taken turn it under for wheat, Wheat follows no crop better than clover. It puts the ground ina good mechanical con- dition and collects and leaves a supply of nitrogen in the soil for the This is one of the elements most needed hy the wheat plant in making its growth. If a second growth of clover is plowed use of the wheat. under so much the better; the seed it may contain will le there until will reseed the land.
