eowht Trouble Ahead for Blackburn. Kentuekians in Washington say that Senator Blackburn will not have a walkover for re-election. One of Blackburn’s contestants said yes- terday: “There are a good many rising politicians who look upon the sena torship as something that should do a little rotating, and are putting out their lines to assist in having the wheel of fortune stop when it reaches them.” Proctor Knott and James A. Mc Kinzie are both aspirants for the senatorship as the successor of the fiery Blackburn. Their rivalry is of an open, candid character. They have both sat in the halls of con gress and have friends in the legis- lature, to just what extent cannot be told until next January. when iv a dignified way they will come to the front to contest their strength with Blackburn.—New York Sun. Six Men and a Horse Wounded. Marshall, Mo., Dec. 7.—Late last evening two Trent brothers and two Davis brothers left Marshall drunk, and overtaking Albert Givens ina wagon began to abuse him and to fash his horses. He defended himself with a wagon standard and was shot. J. K. King and Will Huston start- ed to arrest the party and were fir- ed upon, King’s horse being wound- ed and Huston’s overcoat being shot through. City Marshall Coiner and posse, who then went to arrest them, were fired upon, but succeeded in arrest- ing two of them, the others escaping The prisoners were placed in jail. The others are expected to be cap- tured to-day. None were seriously wounded. We suppose it is not beyond the bounds of possibility for a worse speech to be made than that of Pres- ident Harrison at the opening of the Chicago Auditorium on Monday night; but it is certain that a public man never delivered a poorer or more flatulent one on the important ocen sion in which he had been specially invited to participate. If a cyclope dia will lift Mr. Harrison’s speeches to the level of Mr. Cleveland’s, his friends should delay not in sending one to the White House.—St. Lou- is Republic. Gladstone has opinions on all sub- jects. He thinks that Beethoven is the greatest composer; that the best women singers are those that are healthy, strong and inclined to obes ity; that 90 per cent of the London opera-goers care only for the singers and take little interest in the works which are represented; that the pure fresh voice of a boy chorister is more pleasing and effective than any fe- male soprano. A Boston item says that the author of “John Ward, Areacher,” Mrs. Humphrey Ward, looks askance on the woman’s rights movement, and hasa sister married to Professor Huxley. She shuns publicity, writes a singular masculine hand and is a complete enigma to her own family, who are still trying to find out what all the fuss is about. Do You Suffer From Rheumatism. Noone who has not been sufferer can have any idea of the excrutiating agony caused by rheumatism. This painful disease is trequently caused by a stop- pnge of the circulation of the blood, through the muscular portions of the body. BALLARD’S SNOW LINI- MENT will invariably cure this disease by penetrating every spot of the skin and drawing to the outer surtace all poison- ous matter and restoring a uatural circu- lation ot the blood. Every bottle guar anteed. Dr. E. Pyle, Agent. General Boulanger is beginning to feel restless on the Island of Jer- sey. He went there to escape the social attention that lion-hunters showered upon him in London. and now he feels tne need of some social excitement. There is a well-ground- ed suspicion that Boulanger is weak enough to like flattery. Cousumpton Cured.

While the leading educators of Dis- trict No. 42, Sedgwick County, Kan., are engaged in an earnest effort to bring their school to a higher point of efficiency by the use of the slow match and shotgun, some other parts of the country are not idle. Jackson town- ship, Hancock County, O., has been heard from. The problem which the Ohio instructor of youth located there has been at work on is that of com- pulsory education. This subject is one which, as we all know, is far from being settled satisfactorily. Laws are passed that all children must attend school, but even if they can be en- forced, it does not follow that all chil- dren will study their lessons diligent- ly and be able to make a showing sat- isfactory to the conscientious and painstaking teacher. To accomplish this end has been left for the Ohio in- structor referred to. The advanced grammar class was on the fioor and he called on one of the boys to explain the exact relation which the participle sustained to the various parts of speech. The slothful but unsuspect- ing youth was free to admit that he could not do so. On hearing this la mentable confession the Jackson town- ship educator drew a slung-shot from his sleeve and struck the misguided young man a couple of light blows. With the slow match, the shotgun and the slung-shot well established among our educational appliances America may well make a new boast of her great public school system. What measure of popularity the common leather and lead slung-shot may obtain as a means for impressing English grammar upon the fickle mind of youth it is too early yet to say. It certainly does not look encouraging for it, when we learn in the course of the dispatch bringing the intelligence of the whole affair that its first user has had his license to teach revoked by an unsympathetic board of examin- ers to whom the beauties of the slung- shot are as a sealed book. But its promoter, Mr. John Walters, has many things to console him as he sees an or- dinary teacher installed in his place. Galileo heard as good men as reside in Jackson township ridicule his tele- scope. John Walters may yet live to conduct a grammur publishing house and announce prominently in his ad- vertisements a fine slung-shot with every volume. Mr. Walters’ ideas on educational subjects are what may properly be called advanced. He thinks that the teacher should not only be able to offer the pupil instruction, but also be prepared to see that he takesit. It is all very well, he argues, to assign a pupil a lesson on the subject of partici- ples, but it is better to see that the lesson is impressed on him so that he will not forget it, even if it takes a new slung-shot every day. Our Ohio friend’s ideal teacher is one who, while the scholars are at their books,throws his feet up on his desk, draws ona pair of brass knuckles and calmly uses a large jack-knife in the guise of a toothpick till recitation time. Then he calls the class to the floor, gets out his text-book and other weapons and proceeds to drive the children in- trusted to his care along the flowery paths of learning on a fast run. Give Prof. John W. Walters a common school grammar and a good slung- shot and he will agree to carry the rules of syntax to the dullest pupil. All is novelty, all is excitement with the Walters’ Method of Teaching En- glish Grammar. The ordinary instruct- or approaches the weary student with the dry and uninteresting facts con- cerning participles and their relation to other words; it is true that Prof. Walters comes up to him with the same facts in one hand, but he is reaching into his boot for a six-ounce slung-shot with the other. The effect of the Jackson township idea of com- pulsory education on our school sys- tem will be watched with interest.— Fred. H. Carruth, in Texas Siftings. eT That great labor orgamzation, the Patrons of Husbandry, is growing rapidly in Michigan, and nearly 100,- 000 of the farmers of the state have joined it this year.

The Kind of a Husband They Would | Choose. i | That girl has yet to learn that a, dancing man and handsome man is L not a man to be desired, and the} plainest features and most awkward i manuers, if they go hand in hand with kindness of heart and a soul of | honor and integrity, are worth far more than a Turvydrop and a hand- some face, which in a man seldom tails to be insipid. Another would be satisfied with a} man of high position whom the world delighted to honor, the re- porters to interview and the people to stare at and point out , while she as his wife, shone in his reflected light. Does not that girl know that such men rarels ever have time to give their wives, and do not thik of those little everyday attentions which are to a true loyal woman what dew is to the flower, and with- out which love will wear itself out in hot rebellion against the ambition and its fruition which have come be- tween itself and happiness. Another wants a learned man, who has read so much and kuows so much that when he speaks, words of wisdom drops from his lips like raindrops in a summer shower. All this sounds very fine, or would, if the man of erudition ever talked to her or to anyone else; but book- worms, as a rule, are reticent and self-absorbed, and in their abstrac- tion and reticence are apt te become selfish and exacting, as was Carlyle grolwing over his toast and tea in that not very happy home at Craig- enputtock. He was a man of learn- ing and fame, and his wife was fond and proud of him, but, like Dorthy in “Middlemarch,” who, while hon-; oring Casubon, still hada hankering after his scrapegrace nephew, with | his magnetism and frank, genial ways, she would have liked him more and been happier with him had he found time for those little attentions and courtesies which wo- men prize, and which keep love fresh and young to a ripe old age. Said a sad-eyed woman whose hus- band had been dead for years: “He was a gentleman in every respect, but I loved him most for his kind- ness and thoughtfulness, which nev- er allowed him to forget that I was his wife, and always made me feel that I was dear to him as the first day he called me by that name.” And she, I think, sounded the key note of the whole matter. A woman who is worthy fo be the wife of a good man likes to known that, however learned, or wise,or great, or busy he may be, there is still in his heart a spot where she reigns su- preme, and from which neither busi- ness, nor greatness, nor fame, nor learning can dislodge her: that she is his queen, to whom he pays hom- age, whose presence he recognizes and whose absence he deplores. She | may be proud of his talents, proud | of his name, and proud of his looks, ; but if tothese he adds neglect of | herself, whether intentionally or not, | —a want of something withheld mar- | ring what might otherwise have been | perfect.

St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 11.—Some weeks ago, Montague Baynes, a young man moving in the highest circles of society, was discovered to have been concerned in a drunken spree with a couple of notorious wo men, in consequence of which he re- ceived a scoring from the local pa- pers. Rather than face his acquain- tances after the exposure he secret- ly left town. Baynes was employed as a book- keeper in the wholsesale hardware house of Lyon & Judson, and after his departure his books were gone over by an expert, resulting in the discovery to day that he had stolen morethan $1,500 from the firm, his peculations covering a period of six months.

A PROFITABLE CROP. How Eret Culture Can Be Made a Souree of Considerable Income. Although considered a hard crop to raise, 1 do not find beets so when properly managed, as nearly all the work can be done with horses, except perhaps once hoeing. We find here that they succeed best on arich, loamy soil and we like to have it manured in the winter if possible, as the spring rains dissolve it and leave it in good condition for spring plowing, which should be done as early as possible. We drag it down and then let it lie until after corn planting, which gives the weeds and grass a chance to start. Then we take a spring-tooth harraw ora cultivator and thoroughly work it up. Three horses and a good tool in this way will kill more weeds than six will after the beets are planted, and it will give the beets the start of the weeds. We runa smoothing har- row over the lot in the opposite direc- tion from that which we wish to sow it. Iuse a grain drill to sow mine, al- though any good drill could be used. Horse power is much cheaper here than manual labor. We sow in rows twenty-eight inches apart, by using the middle and next to outside hoes on an eleven hoe drill, which brings it right to run the wheel in the wheel- mark coming back, setting the hoes so as to sow them about one inch anda half deep. By raising up the wheel and turning it one can adjust the speed of the feed-cups so as to drop one seed about every two or three inches. In this way it takes five or six pounds of seed per acre, which is about two pounds more than is used in drilling by hand, but we find it cheaper to cut out two plants than to transplant ome. Next we roll the ground, whigh packs the earth around the . seed and causes it to germinate quicker. When the plants are up so as to see the rows plainly, cultivate. We use the narrowest .tecth, and with a good steady horse one can do good work even when the plants are quite small. After they are up two or three inches high we take sharp hoes and chop out the extra plants so as to have them eight to ten inches apart in the row, which can be done rapidly and well after a little experience. Wekeepthe ground well stirred, as they need a warm mellow soil to do their best. We aim to cultivate them as often as once a week through the season and seldom are obliged to hoe them more than once; sometimes not at all. We leave them in the ground as long as we can, in the fall, without danger of freezing, then take a one-horse plow and throw a furrow away from both sides of each row, running a3 close to the row as convenient without touch- ing the beets. Then we pull them out and throw them into a wagon which can be driven alongside so as to be kept close at hand, drawing them di- rectly to the pit or cellar. We top them off with a large knife as they are unloaded. They can be handled very fast in this way. We plant some of the Globe kinds, as they are much easier to harvest and nearly as pro- ductive as the large, long kinds. A barn cellar, or a pit, is the best place to store, being careful not to cover too warm and giving ventilation by plac- ing bunches of straw in the top of the heap. projecting through the earth until cold weather. If warm, they sweat and rot. When cold weather comes we put a coat of horse manure on, which is a good covering for them. T lost one pit of about three hundred bushels last winter from covering too deep in the fall before winter set in.— Cor. Ohio Farmer. —_+ «= —___ ALL ABOUT FILES. How to Select and Use Them—Valuable Practical Suggestions. To choose a flat file, turn its edge up- ward and look along it, selecting org which has an even sweep from end to end, and having no flat places or hol- lows. To choose a half-round file, turn the edge upward, look along it and se- lect that which has an even sweepand no flat or hollow places on the half- round side, even though it be hollow in the length of the flat side. In draw-filing, take short, quick strokes, which will prevent the file from pinning and scratching. Long strokes, no matter how long the work may be, are useless, save to make scratches. Remember it is less the number of strokes given the file than the weight placed upon it that is ef- fective; therefore, when using a rough file stand sufficiently away from the work to bring the weight of the body upon the forward stroke. New files should be used at first upon broad sur- faces since narrow edges are apt to break the teeth if they have the fibrous edges unworn. Eor brass work use the file on a broad surface until its teeth are dulled, then make two or three strokes of the file under a heavy pressure upon the edge of a piece of sheet-iron, which will break off the dulled edges of the teeth and leave a new fibrous edge for brass work. Use bastard-cut files to take offa quantity of metal of ordinary hard- ness; second-cut in fitting, and also to file unusually hard metal; smoothing to finish in final adjustment or prepar- atory to applying emery cloth; dead smooth, to finish very fine work; float file on lathe work. To prevent files from pinning, and hence from scratching, properly clean them, and then chalk them well.— ; American Artisan. —__~+ + e—__ —A Canton (O.) man undertook to eat twelve boiled eggs in fifteen min- utes, and it took two doctors to bring | him around again.
