Musseke-man of Auburn, Jml.t upon the subject of"Feeding for Market." The writer tookthe position that while a variety of foodwas essential, corn should be the staplefood and foundation of all. An Interest-ing discussion ensued upon the sub ectand many good thoughts and suggestionsbrought out. H. Morse of Union City,read a paper, "The Best Age to WeanFigs and How to care for Them AfterWea ing." This j aper contained manygood points and suggestions. The discus-si< D which followed the reading was spicyand Interesting. John Bowditch, of Jef-ferson, Hillsdale county, followed with apaper upon the "Best Manner of Adver-tising Improved Swine," and V. H. Par-row of Cold water, oue upon the "Valueof Expert Judging." Mr. 1)arrow wouldhave judges for each breed of swine, andOnly tho e who were perfectly familiarwith all the peculiarities and characteris-tics of the breed as well as with theirgood Qualities and defects. In the handsof such judges justice would be done, andan incentive given to keep the standardhljili.

The association passed a resolution thatits wembe » would not exhibit at fairswhere expert judges were not employed.They also passed rvsolu.'ious asking theHillsdale county agricultural society toappoint expert judges at the fair this year.

The attendance upon the meeting wasquite large, and the luterest good through-out.

HIS LABORS ENDED.

D. R, Locke, Better Known asNasby, is Dead,

D. 1?. Locke, editor of the Toledo Blade,widely known as "Petroleum V.Nasby,"d;ed at his home iu Toledo onthe loth inst. Th« immediate cause ofdeath was consumption of the lungs.

David l-ioss Locke was born in Vestal,Uroorne county, N, Y., Sept. 20, 1833,andhence was in his 55th year. His father, N.K. i oeke, a veteran of the war of 1812, isstill living iu 'i'cilodo at fh"advanced ageof 9). The father was one of the origi-nal anti-slavery men of tho country, andyoung Locke inherited the intense hatredof the 'peculiar institution" and love offreedom which made him such a powerwith his pen during the civil war. Inhis n t h year he was apprenticed totheprinting trade in tho Cortlandf, N. Y.,Courier otVic-'. After serving his sevenyears he tvaveled through the UnitedStates working .at his tra-le and acting asa reporter.

In 18 >:i he founded the Plymouth, O.,Advertiser, conducting it two years. In

•1850 he founded the JBucyrus Journal,and afterwards was successively connect-ed with tho.'Mansfield Herald and Findlay.leffcrsoniaii. He was editing the latterpaper when the war broke out, and in itscolumns apparel the initial numbers ofthe renowned *\Nasby" Jetter.s, the lirst<xjaring date April ;/l, 1801. These po-litical satires sprang at once into popular-ity. They were copied -in newspaperseverywhere: quoted iu speeches; nadaround the camp (ires of tho union army,aud exorcised an incalculable inference in

•molding public opinion north hi favor ofvigorous prosecution of. the war. JSccre-tary Boutwell declared in a speech atCooper Union, Xew York, at the clmv. ofthe war, that the success of the unionarn:s was dtie to three causes—"the army,the navy and the Nasby letters." CharlesSumner spoke in a similar manner con-cerning the inttuence of the letters, andLincoln is known to have been a frequentreader and a great admirer of the epistles.The popularity of the Kasby letters led toa demand that Mr. Ltcke should take thelecture platform, and this he did lor atime. Although he was not a success asan orator, he invariably drew largecrowds.

Mr. Locke once raised a company ofvolunteers and applied to (>ov. Brough ofOnio for a commission as captain, whk-hwas refused on the ground that he coulddo mere good for the union cause withhis pen titan in the field.

HQ-was o;Ured official positions byPresident Lincoln and also by 1'residentGrant, but steadily declined, as his onlyambition was in the editorial field.In 1865 he assumed charge of the ToledoBlade, first on a salary, afterwards pur-chasing an interest and finally entire con-trol. It had always been his scheme tofound a great national weekly which henow carried out. He was one of the found-ers of the republican party in Ohio, andthe "Nasby" letters were but part of thepowerful work he did in the political field.He also did a vast deal of purely literarywork, having written two or three success-ful plays, books of travels, and manynovels and sketches for his own paper.He was also a IN et of no mean order andseveral of his devotional poems can befound in various church hymnals.

Some four or live years ggo his healthbegan to fail, aud he gradually withdrewhimself from active work. Since then behas written very little; save an occasional"Kasby" letter, and a few special artick'8,chieiiy on prohibition, llu lecame con-vinced that prohibition must be the finalsolution of the liquor question, and for sixyears has strongly agitated it Jn his paper,through non partisan methods. .

Air. Lock/v was married while at iPlymouth to Miss Martha JJodinc, who iwith three sons, all grown to manhood, |survive him. The eldest, ("apt. K<>!> nson jLocke, has been associated -wih his father |on the Hludc for the past twelve years, ax- icept while consul at Newcastle-on Tyne, 'to which oftice he was appointed by T'resi-1dent Arthur. Mr. Locke leavt? a fortune jestimated at 81,000,000, exclusive of the!Blade.

Decay of the Big1 Ranch.

It begin* to look as if the big muchbusiness is to follow in tho foots top* ofbig plantations and farms. The tlucadobetween. 1870 and 1880 showed a break-ing up in tho lariro cotton plantationsof the South and the grain faims of theWest; and the average u«idiugs ofcultivated land were only half an greatin 1880 as 1780. There hud Ueoti a cor-responding increase iu the number offarms, and it was quits erideut thatthe biff farms all over the country werebeing subdivided into smaller ones.

Since 1880 there baa been gomealarm displayed at the size of the im-mense cattle, sheep and other ranchesin the far Western and South-westernStates and Territories. Tho papersgave long lists of companies and indi-viduals hokliupr one hundred thousandacres and more, ami noted particularlytbc fact that a large proportion of theseholders, wore foreigners. A» tho tideof'interstate immigration wits pouringinto the very sections where theseranches are situated, it was feared thatthey would interfere seriously with itIndeed, in some States, particularly inTexas, tbeso large holding* were foundto act dis:ulvuntngoous!y t» tko iottle-ment of the country, :uut to bt in otherways opposed to the bosk iatoresU ofthe State.

It now looks, however, aa tfcmigU thebig-raucb system was decaying; andthat, instead of swallowing up all theavailable lands to the exclusion of toosmall farmers, they will break up them-selves. The big Niobrara- Laud an<lCattle Company of Montana which ayear ago refused $1,000,000 for >U pro-perty: lias just gone int« hopelessbankruptcy from causes which promiseto prove fatal to many other va«ch en-terprises—the fact that the business isbeing overdone. The tendency i# to*ward the breaking up ot the bigranches into smaller ones or farms,which can be easily looked after, andfor the cattle on which the necessaryfood and shelter can be provided. Thistendency ia felt throughout tke Terri-tories; and Gov. Ross, of New Mexico,calls special attention t» it >a bis latereport.

Such a change is, af c»urse, to bewelcomed; and it is likely t« produceimportant results,in another way, byincreasing the productiou «f cattle iathe South. This sectioa has millionsof ttcr^s of land which CUM be profitablydevoted te cattle raising;. It is cheap,and as BOOH as the busines* of stealingGovernment land upon vtU eh t* raisecuttle has come to an end, the menwho want to go into business itt* legit-imate waf will be turniag lhair atten-tion to the Southern lands. The Southis well uble to raise all the cattle thecountry needs; and will do s« wktii theranch system is broken up.

The whole Union will be tett«fited bythis, and no one will regret the changeexcept the ranchmea h l(i Enquirer.

the dog had points. He had paid $50for Whiskey and a pedigree, wniuh waaallowing iHV.bQ for the pedigree andhalf a dollar for the pup. Tho pedi-gree was worth the money, but I think»iieorge paid 49 cents too much for thedog. ne said that Whiskey only neededto be broken to become of great value,but one day Whiskey broke into thepoultry yard, was caught in the act,and got about as well broken with anaxe handle as a dog miaht wish, butbeyond a general lameness and a dis-position to howl all day long, I couldnot see aoy material change for thebetter.

We shot around Pittsfield four daysand got cue cotton tail rabbit and acase of rheumatism, add the entire tripdid aot cost more than *8i.

You simplybuild a "bfend," which is a small corralmade of branches: set out a dozes de-coys in the water, lie in the "blind"until you aw soaked and at ft' and coldas » frozen steak, and then, you come'home. 1 once went d ck sho tmg bymoonlight on the marshes near SantaOlaie, Cat. An old sportsman, had toldme that it I went on a cloudy moonlitnight stid kept still i would hear the.ducks coming, their wings producing a•sound like thfs:

Ducks fl?low on cloudy nights, he said, and ailthe sportsman ha3 to do is to wait'until,he hears a Itock coming then iook cpand see rhete %ihg close overhead likeswift silhouettes against tbe cloud-curtained sky. He toid me all thiswith the air of a man who is cenferringa great personal favor, aad then rootedout the almanac and ascertained thatthe moon would be just right the fol-lowing evening.

Tasked him to join me m 'the 'noblesport, but he coughed in a doubtfulmanner and said that nothing wouldgivo him greater pleasure, but that hiswife's grandmother was lying mortallyill ia San - ose» and he thought he'd godown with tho rest of the family nextdav and give the old lady a afood sendoff!! He added that if got score ducksthan 1 wanted, L might send him oversix or eight teal, a couple cf mallardand a eanvas-baek or two.

Washington Letter.From oarRef»lar Correspondent

WASHINGTON, FKB. 17,1888Mr. Blame's letter to chairman Jones

of the National Republican committee,announcing that his name would notgo before the National nominating con-vention this year, has overshadowedeverything of a political nature at theNational Capital this week; and al-though it has now been nearly a weeksince it was made public, it is just aseagerly discussed as it was the firstday it was printed, and opinions differas widely upon what its effects arelikely to be-on the people and after-wards on the nominating convention.The opinions for convenience may beput in three classes.

First, those who were opposed toBlaine's nomination, but would votefor him if he received the party nom-ination. They believe, or at least theysay so, that the letter removes Mr.Blaine entirely from the field,antl thathe could not consistently accept thenomination even if the conventionshould unanimously tender it to him.

Second, those who acknowledge thefitness of Mr. Blaine to be a nomineeof the party, but who for personal rea-sons prefer some other man. Theybelieve—because it is in accordancewit1! their wishes, that the letter takesMr. Blaine out o£ the-race and leavesit open to the best man—which ofcourse is their candidate.

Third, those who believe that Mr.Blaine is entitled totb* highest honorsthat his party can give him,on accountof his lii;e long work in its interest, tosay nothing of giving him a chance toobtain what was lost in 1884 by an ac-cident. They say that Mr. Blaine can-not prevent the Republicans of thecountry from nominating aoid electinghim to the Presidency, that the mat-ter is put of his hands entirely, andthat the letter will have no effect what-ever except to make them more deter-mined than ever to nominate,him.

This classification does not includethe opinion of the democrats. TheyaH hope that Mr. Blame will not becandidate. They fear him on accountof his powerful influence over the IrishAmericans, more than any other manthe Republican party. A Democraticpolitician of National reputation wasoverheard to-day saying to a Senatorof the same party; Blaine is the onlyman we have got to look out for. Ifthe Republican had put up any otherman in their party in 1834, Clevelandwould have carried New York by fiftythousand majority instead of" the l>eg-garTy eleven hundred that we pulledthrough with. Our policy from nowoi) should be to prevent tUe nomina-tion of Blaiiie.

If the old martin; find out what youropponents don't want you to do, andthen do it, is right, then the Rebubli-can party should go right ahead andnominate Blaine, his letter notwith-standing. But politics are not run by

| maxims old or new, and who h to be\ the nominee is becoming u

'•AT THE OLD PLACE, YKSTKKDAY."I was up at the old place yesterday,

Twas the first time I'd beea therein years,But 1 hadn't climbed over the orchard

Belore I was bliuded with uars.It was childish and weak but my y f t

would haze—The world has a wonderful art,

Of taking tbe childhood out of one's ways,But it c&dt't gvt it out of the heart.

Can you! Man with the strong right armAnd woman witft silverkitf hair!

The yean have looked into your brave,true eyeAnd left you a glory there.

You have faced the worJd'»?5isdom with grandgood grace,

All it* joy*. Mid its cares and its fret;But wheo the angel looks Into you face

They'll find, you are child-sen yet!

"Boo* the struggle and care- «f the wo*kf. awo'erthiek,

Sometimes they are crowded so fast;Thdgr can't stop*the tear drops from eomiag

as quick,Nor the smiles that will come to the last.

They can't keep the puL*es from. beating1 soyoung.

When some tender emotion thrills there;With sweet,rtverent. trembles, like music un-

sung,To creep through the heart like a prayer.

Ah, the aniircrg will find that your smiles areas young-,

When yem join in their shining array;And the tear mist as quick o'er your eyesight

Tho'you traveled the lenffest. way.Children yet,—after sorrows, and losses and

days,—For the world has a wonderful art

Of tiikingr the childhood out of one's ways.But you can't get it out of the heart!

There vras the sun, with It* great golden heartThat had beaten through all the long years,

Shining down just the same thro' the old ap-ple trees,-

That 1 scarcely could see through my tears;And do you think that whHe dreaming away

I could trouble the s|>ell of that place;And couio I rememlHJr tny bair h»*i grvvrn

No! You may smjle at th«k tho'ught if you will,I was wrapped in the ..holiest joy.

It was not an old man, but a boy.

The o'd white worn path of the orchard,Was sweet hallowed !>y angels, in truth,

And Uie {jrest g-olden heart, of the sun there,Poured o'er me the lost wine of youth;

I watted 'neatu its S|H?11 and x-ememl»er«d:Not the years, nor the grrey of niy hair.—

But my voutb, and uiy heart was all holyWith the childhood my God uad kept there.

There by the old swing in the orchard1 tojiencd the brown patient bung rope;

And ray hutnd would have trembled and fal-tered,

Had my heart not en thrilled it with hope.Two strong old - opes hanging patient.

Over the bare pateh there;The grass worn off \>y the touch of feet

To start the swing in air.

T>« you think I could think as I stvood thereOi" the graves lying out on the hii!;

And the years thar ha<i letr their deep traces,Since I played there with Hessje and JJill?

Oh; no!—V«m nmv «inile at my i'ft liionliut njy dreainiiig had pictu'rod them

In his annual report to the citycouncil Siipt. Joseph Nicholson of theDetroit house of correction, beside*turning over $4^,000 in profits for theyear, reiterates his oft-expressed opinioathat short sentence* for a repeatedottenoes is a fallacy as it produces inthe criminal a ]o$s of self*reapect, con-tvm;.t for the law 'and incoiTigibility.He recommends the formation of a• Prisoners' aid society" on a practicalbasis, to provide at least temporarycm;j!oymcQt for those who would ac-cept it, a.*, "it is a moat critical periodin the life of this unfortunate ^vhen thaprison garb is exchanged for citizen'sattire for the first f ine" . A very littleencouragement then, he says, wouldAuve many from a relapse iato criminalpursuits. The physician of the insti-tute also calls attention to the shortsenletic w which are passed on habitualdrunkard and* abandoned women Herecognizes the fact that inebriety andwa tonmss are diseases acd bilieresthat longer enforced sentences are bestcalculated to cure,

Though considerably past seventyyears old. Prince Bismarck still worksns hard as he did when he was twentyyears younger. - He never £oes to beduntil two in the morning, and eats ahearty supper shortly before midnight.He rarely Hies much before noon, as hehas always been a heavy sleeper and isoften disturbed during the night by thearrival of dispatches which require im-mediate attention. The Chancellor isbecoming a rich man. The salariesfrom his offices aro by no means extrav-agant, but added to the revenues of hisestates and the profit & ot hi* sawmillsand distilleries, they bring his incometo between glfO.O-X) and ^150,00« a'year. And, as the prince is notoriouslyeconomical, a very large proportion ofthis comfortable income is annuallysaved.

One of the shrewdest and most suc-cessful of advertisers is .'ohu Wan anakvr, the great I biladelphia mer-chant, who accounts for his success inthis way: " I never in my life usedsuch a thing as a poster a dodger or ahanl bill.

It was not many years ago thatJuy Gould's dentist sent him a i>ili of$5,000 for an amount of work that it issafe to say would havo cost nothinglike that sum if done by any other den-tist for AII ordinary customer, f knowthat ih.R case went to law. but I don'tremember who won. If Gould didn'tit was because the court wauled to makehim pay for being Jitr Gould. Now Isee he is in difficulties with liis decoru-U»rs. It se«'ins that when ho was'abroad lie left the orders lo have hishouse decorated i\n<i he di«!u't pmpo.seto spend over S70,0(K> lo $80,000 ontii s work.

I suppose that n contract isa good thing to have, because if youdon't have it the charges would be ex-orbitant; but I have never contractedfor a job that when it came to paying,tlitsre was not always enough extra tomake it almost double. Tho plumber,for example, will .send you an estimateshowing that it will cost you § 100 toDUt a certain kiixl of pump in yourhouse, so yon tell him to put it in. andwhen it comes to paving you find i/tint$50 more have been added to thw billfor items which you naturally supposewere included in llin estimate; but hawill tell \ou with the sweetest smile inthe world thnt his estimate only includ-ed* siicli and such things, that "makingthe connections" and "extrapipe" and*il;iys' work," and that sort of thing,were hot included, and after you havecomplained n little, but paid him. asyou always have to. he will tell youthat he hasn't made a cent of moneyout of the job, that lie has a<^ialiy loston if. But }on will notice a certaineagerness in his manner if he scentsanother job of the same sort i« the air.I built a house recently, and I thinkthat every art s:»»i who worked on ittold me lie made no money off hisparticular job. and yel other artisans intho name line who have seen the worktold me that Ihey would dupl ica te itfor one-half of what it cost me. --Ex

had a loved wife who worshippedhim, and a cozy home, and* had healthant strength.

VVha*, more could he need?Why, u continuance of it; and that he

could not command.1'aul had acted a very trying part too

long, and it had tAd ujx>n'the state ofhis nerves.

He became very ill, and the doctorpronounced it "nervous prostration,'•'and ordered for him perfect rest; andEl tie wai plainly told that many amonth would pass before her husbandmust undertake another engagementbut that this fact must come to him,little by little.

The young wife sat still after themedical man had gooc, with her handslying listlessly in her lap and a far offlook in her dark eyes.

After a time she he-ived a deep sigh,and tears arose, but she wouid notshed them. She glanced around theroom make pretty by taste, not wealth.

"How *ha!l I keep our home together?" she-murmured. "How arewe to live until i aul can work again?Dear, dear I'aul, it would break hisheart to have to leave it! It, is notmuch after father's beautiful housebut he loves it And he must not beworried. How am 11«.» keep care fromhim?" she moaned, ,and wrung herhands with a pitiful gesture

Aud Paul was lying upstairs in adavkeued IOJUJ, with ice upon his headand his eyes wauderine painfully, andthe doctor coming many times a day tosec him.

"If anl lived, how was the wolf tobe kept from the door? '

If I aul lived!What agony there was to her in the

dread uncertainty of his life; and if thatwere spared, the sad uncertainty of his!oug, lon^ illness.

And there was not a ten-pound gotoin the house.

Her father's advice now came to her.Still .she c uld not regret marrying theman she loved.

How was she lo earn monej to paythe landlord, and the doctor, and provide her dear one with proper nourish-ment? fur of one thing she wasdetermined he .should want for noth-ing; and she resolved lo get work vfsome sort to do.

It may be wondered tha', Mrs. I/Ks-t ran ire 'did jiot apply to her father forhelp.

He had made a condition of his con-sent that I'aul should maintain her.aud she fait that nothing should induceher to ask f >r aid. Moreover, lx>thherparents were abroad.

At this juncture of her panfulthoughts a visitor was announced,

Mr. iiainsiord i ad come to enquirefor his brother actor.

He was us Paul had said a generaladmirer, but he was a kind-heartedman as well, aad beauty in distressalways called forth his deepest sym-pathy. TJH* Jeans in KihVs eyes madehim very tender with her, and ia ashort K)>iu;e of time the girl hul con-tided all her troub'^i to his keeping,and was asking hii advice how to ob-tain work.

•MM. I/Estrange," he said brightly,• joiu us aud you will be a star!11

•'but I'aul s'tya I could not act," «bereplied with a Tret fallen air,

"NonseUMtw! you know a prophet innot honored in his own country.

"!>o you really really think -^o?'1she a*kvd rurnestly.

"I do indeed,""And could I earn monvy enough to

keep our home together?1' she queriedafter a pau-e.

"(juile, I should say; but you wouldhave to doacer la in :imount of learnjjig, of eo rse."

••I could not. pay for tuition,1' .shereturned frankly.

"1 hope your prophecy will prove atrueone," sheanswered with animation."And now wiii you consider me rudeif I tell you I think 1 ought to go ba«kto PauK""

"indeed, no. L'Estrange is fortunatein having so loving a wife if moregirls were like you, men wouid nothesitate to marry. I will see my friendabout you,"' lie added, rising, f*andfsball 1 run in about live every day audgive you a ivw bintH as to the manage-ment of your voice, etc? Elocution isa great matter in an actor or actress,and when your part is cast, 1 will withpleasure assist you in rendering itnaturally."

*•! am ashamed to give you so muchtrouble,' she said, extending her handto him, "but r'aui will. I trust, live tothank you for all you propose to do forme."

"To be of service to you will morethan repay nse," tie returned chival-rotisly,ashe pressed the white lingerswith warmth.

Then he took his leave, and. Elliereturned to the darkened room with alightened heart.

"Oh, if > can but keep our home,"she murciijL'ed, and kissed the feverishhand which wandered so restlessly uponthe pretty coverlid of lace and silkwhich her own deft fingers had made.

* * * * *Mary Eainsf rd arrived, and became

more than a sister to E! fie.She was one of those useful, gentle

creatures who prove an oiled feather ina 1 the odd turus and awkward cranksof life.

Her brother had taJcen her into theircoMi-Tenets Hud .she had promised, asbo ha i required, that she would givePaul no hint of his wife\s exertions, butleave her lo select her own time andOpportunity f >r teliinghim in tho future.

Both Ellie and her instructor believedthat it' he could be made accidentally towitness hi^ wife's success, he would beproud oi* it; and. in Us pride wouldlorget that he had ever expressed anopinion against her attempting to be anactress.

To say that Paul did not miss Elfieduring h t r abrtiii <>* from his room,which now berame fre ;ue;U, would beincorrect.

<ireally a.s he liked sweet MaryBuinsford, his eye3 would wander afterhis wife's retreating form when she lefthim. and something like a sigh wouldbreak froiu Win lips

"Where bus K;tie gone9 Why doesEliie l<';ive me? 1 were the question* lievery often uvk< d of his Jiur. c.

And she would tell hiru that hi.s wifebad many things to do, and that sheneeded rest, and be luust rememberthis, und not axuec.thur to be always atat his side; and witli another aigU hewould turn away.

Cecil KainsfoVd was as good as hisword.

He obtaine<l the engagement he badspoken of for HI lie, and he came dailyat live o'clock to teach her, and foundher so apt a pupil that hu spoke to hisown stages manager in her fivor, andtook him to her house to talk to her,and see for him ;elt what she reallycould do, aud be was thoroughly satis-tied.

As it was, they did not know, and El-tie had taken her own way to supplythe wants of herself and husband.

CrJAlTEH V.A FATAL MISTAKE.

As Paul grew stronger he used oftento sit at tho window and look out, a:idmore than once he saw Cecil Ra nsfordenter his gate acid go away aguia niterabout an hour, and it tilled hift &eu2with bitterness for his wife had nevertold him of these visits, and > gradualdistrust of her gathered "octopua-like"about his heart, cramping its generousaffections and warping hi* usually soundjudgment.

but he never .said on« word of thefear which haunted him, that anotherwas superseding him in his wife's love.

His doctor ordered him away beforethe fogs of November should set in *ndwished him to go abroad &'.d he calledEl tie to his .side.

* i arling, " he said, "I am t» get outof murky London and revive in thamild air of the "outh of France. Youwill it e the change.will you not, pet?"

Her color came and went fitfully." I I don't think I can manage it,

"No not alone. Mary, I am sure,will stay with m e . "

"If you will not lacconarftny me, 1shall not go. <6Hiifc,"jhe said firmly.

"nut , dear rtjov, \vour ^health dependson it." * *

"There are thiugs-deader to me thanmy health, 1 he answered almost stern-ly; but Elfie did not in 'the least com-prehend the meaning of h's Words

There was a sharp contest betweenPaul and his do' tor upon the snb.ect,but the young man was iirm; he,however, agreed at least to go toBournemouth fot a .short time to rec-uithis strength.

Mary Kainsford's parents were livingthere, and it was settled that I'aulshould spent! a month with them, andthat Mary should still be h s attendant,while Ellie was toau ompany him, andto return ho » e when it was found thatthe house could not go on without her.

Shc was restless at Bournemouth,spending much of her time away fromhim and more than once he surprisedher sfciulyijjg her part, and saw her inher contusion thrust a paper in herpocket, and lie determined to watch her,

W hen «he slept he arose and ransackedher pocket, but the paper he had eeonher hide was not there; but there was aportion of it left, it was in the hund-writing of (ceil Kainsord, and it hadevidently been torn oil' by the hasty wayin which she had bandied it. Therewas only a scrap, :i pnrt of a line, butthe words traced upon it were wildlyimpassioned.

He crushed the offending atom in hishand, and Hung it away with a mutteredcurse, and a very demon of jealous mad-ness gnawed at his heart.

The following morning Ellie told himshe must run home to see how thingsv/ere getting ou, and he let her go with*out a word.

WASHUNGTOI^ LETTEB.Various Matters Picked Up at the

National Capital.

An Bpltome of Congressional Matters.Tbe report of the committee on eora-

tneree In favor of the establishment of aport of delivery at Grand Rapids recitesthat Grand i a; ids is a prosperous manu-facturing and commercial city of about65,000 population, its product of furniturealone being valued at. $20.0)0,000 annually.The nearest port of delivery is 40 mileswest, at Grand Haven, upon Lake Michi-gan. There is used in Cue industries ofGrand Kaplds, and handled by its mer-cantile houses, large quantities of foreigncommodities. The port of (Jrand Havenis utterly useless to them for the purposeof entering foreign imports, because it issituated west of Grand Kapids and importsentered by them would first have to passthrough Grand • Kapids by rail and 40miles wwt to (;rand Haven, and then beentered an t ve-shi; ped back to GrandKapids again, 40 miles east, which wouldinvolve a cose too high to be borne, as isevidenced by the fact that there has neverbeen any foreign imports entered at GrandHaven by the people of Gtand Rapids, andthi; lii'ge amount of foreign commoditieswhich are annually imported by the mer-chants ;.u\d manufacturers of (rand Kap-ids are now obliged to be entered at east-ern ports, •uch as New-York, Detroit andPort Huron, a long distance away, at aconsiderable expense and deiay.

FLORENCE, ALA.

A Fine Climate, Uuurpasted M*amffcctur-ing and Agricultural Advantage*.

M. Quad in the L'etrolt Free Press ofJanuary 5. has the following to say ofFlorence, Ala., which is bein;; rapidly de-veloped by the Florence Land Co.:

Every fco :thern paper speaks of "FairFlorence." And fair she is. If the menof seventy years ago could not foresee ihemarch of Progress, they had some excel-lent Ideas regarding tbe pres. n t A highand < ry location was selected for the town,the streets were laid off for comfort andbeauty, and here to-day is the site for oneof the handsomest cities in all tht South.There is beauty and the picturesquewhichever way you turn, and enough ofthe modern h.»s crept iu to throw the old-time dwelling out in strange contrast andcompel your admiration.

WHAT is COMING.

This sudden aud thorough developmentof Alabama minerals, by which the at-tention of the worl .1 lias been so directlycalled to her timber supply and agricul-tural lands as well, will build up everytown in the State which has natural ad-vantages. Florence has set her stakes to

j become a manufacturing center. HerI advantages are: A thousand miles of

waterway {'owing past her doors,'threerailroads complete! and three more Incontemplation: nearness to coal and iron;the great supply of timber along tbe river,and the cheapness with which It can belanded at the doors of manufacturing es-tablishments.

The problem of to-day and the problemof the future is and will be cheap trans-porlaUon. Tbe manufacturer who securesthe lowest rates will do the greatest busi-ness. River or lake transportation insuiescheap rates by ralL A town situated s->that she has both, with iron, timber andoval at hand, could hardly keep manufacturers out if she desired to. A steamerloaded with manufactured goods at Flor-ence can go to Pittaburg one wny, to the(iu)f another, and to LaCfo&se a third. Jf

MAMJ^AfrTUlifciiS IN WOOD*.

Along this great river, from Florence toDecatur one way, and from Florence toPKtsburg Landing the other, the supplyof Kcft'tind hard wood timber has scarcelylost a tree. There is every variety knownto com i! erce, and it can be had at verylow prices. There is located at Florencean industry whicn is turning out 75,000butktr dishes per day without being ableto fill its orders.
