Tho investigation into the cause of tho death of Fr i in l : Green of Ingham, tho young man whose tragic death was nolioed in those columns two weeks ago, revealed tho fact that tlioro wus aconite in his slom. acli in snIHciont quantities to cause death, and tho jury decided that he camo to his death hy an overdosool aQonite,and expos lire, No one wus censured and the matter will now probably be dropped, though thero is no doubt Green was lbo,uiirortunate victim of ,f07ii« one's criminal carelessness.

Mra. R. D. L y o n of South steeet, died Tuesday evening, after a lingering illness. She was tor a long lime a sufferer with heart disease, which terminated in Bright's disease ol the kidneys. Deceased was CG yeara of age and had been a resident of Mason for I!) years, and a resident of the state about 50 years. She was a member of the Baptist church and a lady of great usefulness to the church and in society, being ever ready lo lend a helping hand in any commendable cause. She loaves a husband, a son and many warm friends to mourn her loss. Funeral at the Baptist church at two o'clock this afternoon. Rev. Prank Hoyt will officiate.

Dr . C . A . Swiftloot is the name of a longhaired individual, claiming to hail from Cross River, Wyoming Territory, answers to. He ia a shght built, light.complexioned gentleman, apparently i!5 or 40 years of age. H e waa accompanied by a dusky maiden whom he claims to be his wife and says she is a half-breed. They visited the fair last week and spent Saturday and Sunday with A . P. Fr i t z of Alaiedon, and were photographed by him. The Dr. called on us Monday in company with Mr. Fr i tz . He told us he was 49 years old and all but the first four years of that timo ho bad spent with the Indians, hia parents having been murdered al the time of his capture. Five years ago he married Annie Blazing Star and they are now out on u pleasure trip.

It is certainly very gratifying to the winner, and is no discredit to the losor, when Iwo aa.fine stallions enter into competition as Dan Mitchell's J . W. Bailey of Leslie, and A . I. Barber's Greenbacks' of thia city, A s it waa generally underatood they would meet in the same class at the county fair, great interest was centered in the outcome. Unfortunately, for many, they were shown in the forenoon, and thus hundreds of peo-jle failed to witness'one of the finest exhi-litiona of the fair. The horses were driven a full mile. Greenbacks leading from the start and winning in 2:,S8i'. While we have not the slightest'doubt- but tho owners 'of these respective horses did iheir.beat to win in.thia particular contest, it should not be taken aa a fair teat of their speed, Greenbacks having: shown a, full mile over iho half-mile track iirthis city a year ago, alter i' heav^ seaaon in the stud, easily in 33i , while Bailey trotted the mile track at

the alato fair at Kalamazoo, three years ago, finishing under a strong pull, in '25. We are not posted as to tho condition of Bailey, but we know that Greenbacks was without training and jnat closing lUe heaviest sensonho has ever made. , ' •

It must bo very gratifying to every friend of the Ingham County Agriculturnl Society lo know that tho thirty.third annual meol-ing, held in this city last week, was a signal success.

Thero wero well nigh threo thousand entries, composing the finest exhibition ever seen on tha grounds, and tho large attendance caused many lo gleefully remark that it seomed liko "old times."

Tho only drawback, and no one regretted it more than the otlieers of the sooioty and the citizens of Mason, who had assured their friends there would surely bo no disappointment, was the failure of the balloon ascension on Thursday. This Oansed much ill-feeling and many censured the society severely and kept thousands of people away on Friday, when a nintrnificenl ascension was mado. Tho society's contract with Prof, tlogan wus for two ascensions—one on Thursday and one on Friday, although but the ono on Thursday had been advor-tiscd. The failure on the part of Mr. Hoeinn damaged the society many hundred dollars and the ollicers refuse to pay him and refuse to allow him to draw his Ibrfnit money deposited in the bank. Wo hope if the society oyer pay hini a cent, it will be at the end of a hotly contested law suit, although on Friday ho made as fine an as-oension as was over witnessed.

Wo did not start out with the idea o preaching a sermon on this balloon business —we got too mad—butlo make only a brief mention ol the fnir in general. We do not go into detail, as wo expect as soon as the soorelary can prepare a list, to publish the awards,which will include all the winners of premiums. O f course there will then be left a great number of very worthy articles, as the classes were very full and but two in each class could be awarded premiums.

In stock of all kinds the show was unprecedented, there boing nearly three hundred head of hotsesf and as an illustration of this fact, there wore,about fifteen head of three year-old mares in tha all work class and about ns many two.yearolds, while there was exoeptionly strong oetnpelition throughout.

H . G . HoUister of Dclovan, Wisconsin, who alono awarded nearly all tlie premiums on horses, gave better satisfaction than we have ever known during our experience in fairs. He could in no way bo charged with favoritism, ns ho waa a total stranger to all, and his every action bespoko him an honest and intelligent gentleman.

Hon. .James M. Turner of Lansing, added materially to the exhibition, with fine samples of his imported Shropshire sheep and Clydesdale horses, and the people of this vicinity, at least, are very grateful that he made so fine an exhibit.

We doubt if there has boon a finer poultry show in the state this season—either in numbers or quality.' It was a sight'that was certainly interesting to all and particularly to chicken fanciers.

The vegetables wero very fine, including D . B . Harrington's 700 varieties of potatoes and the fine show of vegetables of Charles Miller and Arthur Jewett, Owing to the extremely dry season the exhibitiors were fewer and the show perhaps hardly as large as usual—as in that department we are nearly always lo the front.

Floral hall never presented so handsome nn appearance as last week. Every depart-ment was well filled and under the general direction ol Superintendent Culver, every, thing was arranged in the most attractive order.

The show of fancy work, paintings, domestic manufactures and in the culinary department, as well as of fruits and grains and seeds, were nontinually looked upon by admiring crowds.

For some reason the speed classes were practically a failure. Only the green race lilled, which resulted as follows on Thursday E . Terry, Lansing, first and second inouey ; C . S. Ranney, Ingham, third ; and R. W. Becker, Mason, fourth.

The special pacing race for a $10 blanket came off aa advertised and resulted ns follows;, M . J . Bement, Blue Light, by Greenbacks, first J R . W i Becker, Aubrey NelliS, by Ben Harris, second and A . 0 . DuBois , Charley Easton, by Hamblelonian Wilkea, third.

There were many articles worthy of men-lion, which helped to make up the fine exhibition, and yet did not compete for premiums. A m o n g theae we note tbe following :

A s we enter the grounds we found a fine display ot carriages, spring wagons, cutters, &e. , hy both the Rogers Manufacturing Go. and the Mason Road Cart Co. of this city. Also carriages by the Spiral Spring Buggy Co. of Grand Rapida. Carta, lumber wagons, agricultural machinery and toola by John Lasenby of thia city, and carriages by Ihe Lanaing Buggy Co. .

In vegetable hall Frazel & Densmore of the Palace Moot Market, made nn artistic display of dressed meats.

In fioral hall we found our businesa men had done their share towards, making it attractive. S. H . Beecher exhibited heavy and shelf hardware, L . B . Huntoon of L a n aing, showed organs, and Thoa. Carry of Charlotte, the importer, exhibited the celebrated Qermon piano, The Mason Creamery showed samplea of 'their products, Howard & Son, grocers, made a fine display of canned'gooda, lamps, chinaware,&o, , and A , L . Vandercook'a "bee hive" grocery was also taatefully represented. . • C. W. VanSlyko, the artist, made nn at

tractive exhibit of hia work, in photographa and portroita, Chaa. W . Browne exhibited Singer aewingmachinea and both Bal l k. Sherman and E . ' M . Slayton made diaplays of dry goods, silks, carpeta, cloaks, &c. , that dealers from any city might be proud of.

Arthur W . Jewett of Vevay, who by hia own perseverance and industry has probably the largest collection in this country, showed about 100 apeeimens of threshed grain and about 40O apocimena of g r a i n -wheat and oats—in the straw.

Lorenzo'Lyon of Aurelius, but ten yeara old, showed the largest collection of native woods wo ovor aaw.

J . P . Horlon exhibited a largo cage, containing a beautiful Australian pheasant and Bomo tftine labbilB,

Tho oshibit of aoliool work by tho Mason j\ , t

union school was oortainly very credible to the pupils who aided in tho exhibit and lo have been appreciated their prod notions should have been road, Many ot the papers wore by very small children but were decid. ediy interesting to older heads, Itexoolled all formed exhibits of this nature and sliould certainly bo preserved.

Show cases of choico samples of gooda represented the jewelry store of E . Culver, the Star Drug Store, and J . G. Kimmel , jr.'s book store. Jno. W. McRoberl of A u . relius, also e.xhibitod a cnso of rare and curious specimens which he picked up on his recent trip to California, among which wo noticed a piece of wood from the panel of a door in the old Mission ehuroh, built at San Diego in 1770.

L . C . Webb, the livo clothier, mndo a splfliidid exhibition of his goods. DuBois & Barle, the Maple street hardware deiders, were there with attractive samples of their wares, and E . T . Crumb's planing m i l l was well represented by specimens of his manufacture in the way of mouldings, casings, brackets, &c.

The musoum formed an attraotive feature and many aneioiit .ind curious relics were to bo seen. It might havo been mnde more allrnclive, however, if tho articles had been bettor laholed, as llio history is generally of greater interest than the nrlicle. Col . L . H . Ives nnd Maj. A . W . Melian made the largest exhibits in this dopartmoiiti nnd one could have spent half a day there to good adyantnge. The specimens of wool were also In this department and wero of great intorest lo sheep breeders. In nn appropriate nook we noticed a fow pots of small evergreens from the nursery of Q.W.Pinnoy of Evergreen, Wis., with a liberal supply of circulars at hand.

Outside the hall we found finospecimens of brick nnd tile by Holley k Bullen of Aurelius, and tho Mason I3rick and Ti lo Co.i plows, cultivators, &o,, by Deere, Man-sur & Co. of Molino, III.; agricultural im-ploinonts and machinery by Steeves, Beech & Co, and C . A . Yocum ; and threshing machinery by Nichols, Shepard k Co., of Battle Creek. Also an ingeniously made bod spring, manufactured by Ferguson k Gunii of Hol l , so arranged that you can sil up or lio down, and common senso bod springs by the Buttle Creok Spring Bed Co,

Altogether tho fnir wns a great success and why ? Because' the people have will ingly accepted the invitation to take hold and assist in making it so. The fair cannot be successful without the hearty oo.opera. tion of the community in which it is local, ed. The society has this year cordially received the support of the people of a la rge territory and we nolo with pleasure the result.

We are closing out our crockery at cost at Vandereook's Bee Hive. *

We have made arrangements whereby we are enabled to furnish the D e m o c r a t and the Detroit Free Press, each four months, I'or 50 cents. The Democr . \ .

It has lately been enlarged to ten pnges, making it the largest weekly published in the norlh.west. One of the new and here aftor complete nnd prominent features of the pnper will be nn agricultural depart ment. Remember, both these papers four months for 50 cents. * l f

britlfjo; nnd what with b i g troos, hnnd-soino lioiisos, and a G o t h i c church , i t is as i)rotl;y a iilnco na can wel l bo imag-iuod. P e r h a p s that is tho reason why its i i ihabitauts—those whoso fathers and grandfafchers boforo thom liavn boon Opal i t e s—aro so o.xclnsivo, and turn the iôld shouldor lo a l l the strangers not i i ropor ly introduced—not •vouched

for b y somebody who is somebody. However , at tho dalo of our stoiy,

thoro dwelt amongst theso excluso peop le two h igh and mighty personages to w h o m a l l bowed down. T h e r e woro tho fSmiths. The Smiths . S m i t h , wo ,all know, is tho namo by which, when | A d a m got t irod of n a m i n g tho hoads of ancient families, ho christened a l l the rest in a l u m p .

These part iculnr Smiths wore also named J o h n and IMary, which proves that Morneo's inqniry , ""What's iu name"?" was an apt question, for it mado no diU'oronco; they woro st i l l The Smiths .

T h o iirsk S m i t h bought l a n d . T h e r o was not only a grandfather , but a groat grandfather's fatlier to ho ta lked of as h a v i n g bui l t juat thoro; and the p r o s ont ]\ti'fi. Smith',s rolativos wero great peop io ; nnd thoy wero r i c h — n o ouo know how rich.

It was the custom in O p a l to wait u n t i l M r s . .Smith took notico of strangers beforo , taking thom up. T h a t set tho seal on thoir position.

W h e n l itt io Mr.s. M l l o r c a m e to O p . i l , benuso sho th.iiight it a 2>i'otty place, and bui l t a housu thoro, and l irought her twoTittIo hoys and her o ld servant with hor, she d i d not know the ways of tho place. Sho M'as social, and used to be ing l iked for herself. Sho had been even sought aftor.

.But O p a l d i d not know hor "family ;" thought hor "too drossy for a widow;"

I too pretty, top.;' It was faahionalilo' to bo p la in of face and costurao in O p a l , T h o best faniilios woro all l iko that. '

Close watclr was kei^t over the S m i t h s . T h o y d i d not cal l . Theroforo no ono elso' cal led. B u t l i t t io M r s . M i l l o r , who was not apt to fancy hersel f l i k e l y to he sl ighted, la id al l tho primness of tho jiianner.s ot tho Opal i tes to the fact that she h a d not been pleasant enough to thorn, aixl L a v i n g arranged hor tiny home to hor satisfaction, sent out cards of invitation to a tea to a l l those lo whom sho had Bpol<on at tho c h u r c h or who wero very near her homo, ,so that

1 "ploasiint' inornings" or "good evenings" had boon exchanged. ^

" E v e r y b o d y is respootablo i n tlioso smal l places," sho thought, "and a l l ae qnainted, of course."

M r s . B r i g h t , tho minister's wifo, was tho l irst to got hor cards. U n f o r t u n ately, m sho expressed it to M r s . M i l l e r , hor luLshand was go ing to m a r r y a conplo that afternoon, a n d as they woro friends, d i o was go ing to tho w e d ding .

T h o rest s i m p l y l ooked at thoir cards contcmpti ioualy , and, without hesi ta tion, pi jnnod "regrots" without apology.

"Does sho oxpeet to stop into our' so ciety that wi»y wit l iout; our k n o w i n g who sho i s?" sa id M r s D o n b l e d e o B r i c k , with a sniff. "I shn'n't sond any answer whatoTer."

" W h e n tho Smi ths havo not ca l l ed ," addod her mother-in-law.

A n d so the postman had a large par-co l of smal l envelopes for M r s . M i l l e r one mornjng , aud she, for tbo first t ime in hor' l i fe , fol t angry.. S h e h a d not mado a p a r t y of it, on ly an in formal affair, wi th one clay's' notice, and ovoryth ing was proi iarod. H o r new dross ; black lace, with a pa lo -p ink h o w i n hor blade hair , and pnlo-p ink roses for her; bolt , h u n g ; o n . a chair, and, for a while , the l i t t l e .wdmai i -was very angry, indeed—mortified', too.

T h e first dawn of s u c h a feel ing was - vory painful .

W a s nhe c t ^ b y theae n n i m p o r t a n t people of Ojml-7-slie, who i n L o n d o n l i ad booh ii beauty, and in . D u b l i n h a d b a d sO 'many, invital ions that-to k n o w which to accept for a certain n ight whs ra ther diflieulfcI

H o w e v e r , there was no antecodauts of an unpleasant nature i n hor l i f e -no th ing to make hor think "thoy h a v e h o a r d ; " v a n d after awhi le s l i e l a u g h o d ovor i t . ,

S h e h a d never h e a r d of T/ifi Smiths . T h e y livotl a distance away, aud at

I t was 4: o'clock in tho afternoon. O n o or t w o o i i l io Opal i tes . h a d not

ant, who understood the situation as wel l as sho d id . .

A n d then .she 'ivandored out into tho garden, aud w a l k e d amongst her ilow-ora.

Jns t as she had reached tho wostorn fenco, nh'eudy g i lded b y the sotting snn, she Iiecnuio nwaro of a c loud of dust a l o n g Iho rood, and saw i n a mo-mont that two horsi's woro r u n n i n g awny with a l i t t io vohlolo, i n which sal nn old indy and gont ioman, and in a moment moro , n.s thoy crosned a l i l l i o bridge, tho c i r r i u g o overset, a wheel camo oir, and the old l ady was thrown over the ra i l into the Avator.

'The old gont ioman fe l l into tho m u d , but rega ined his feet, nnd rosoued tho old lady.

Meanwhi le , I\trs. IMiller had ca l l ed tho man at work amongst hor vego-tnblos, and tho horses, rolnsod f rom the conveyance, woro standing quito sti l l .

M r s . M i l l o r herself now ran down the road, and ushered tho two old peopio into hor houso, congratulat ing thom upon boing nlivo, and minus broken hones. Sho lod the old Inily to hor room, prov ided her with frosh gnrmonts and a warm, si lk shawl, sont hor othor gnrniorits lo the kifclion to dry , and, lnnlly, amidst a mult i tudn of thanks,

invited thorn to lako ton wi th her. "Aftor such a shock y o u ought lo

rest awhile," alio .said; "and if you wi l l allow rno to keep y o n all night, I s h a l l bo so g lad . 1 liavo p lenty of rooms."

T h o answer was poouliar. "It i.s evident," said tho o ld lady ,

"that y o u aro of gooil family. O n l y .such ])ooplo aro capable of oll'oring hospital ity in thi.s way. T h o common r u n know noth ing about it. AVo can re turn iiomo quito well , I t h i n k ; but wo ap-preciato y o u r kindness, a n d wo w i l l dr ink toa with you with ploasuro."

I t wns a vory solomii address. "Has the Q n e o n of E n g l a n d b y any

B u t sho folt that, at least, theso peop l e were polite, nnd sho tiiok tho two cards bear ing tho inscript ions , "iMr. .John S m i t h , " " M r s . J o h n S m i t h , " whioh tho oltl jiooplo oflbred hor, and returned hor own, novor guessing that these woro Tho Smi ths of O p a l , and thnt hor toa would bo tho talk of tho place.

A t tho appointed l ime they woro suminonod.

O l d M a r g a r e t waited; the two l i t t le boys put on their comi iany innnnors. J l r s . M i l l o r was a good hostess, T h o sturdy o ld couple had excel lent appe-tito.s, and paid compliments at intervals, and it cnmo to pass that i u tho course of tho feast JMrs. J l i l l e r became confident ia l—told of hor invitations, and of the general refusal of thom, and said to J l r s . S m i t h , "J)o you think they have some terr ible idea about rao, or have I outraged tho customs of O p a l by he iug uncoronionious?"

Blrs. S m i t h looked at M r . Smith, T h o y understood tho position. M r s , S m i t h knew she h a d not ca l led , but .she on ly answered, " C o u n t r y pooij le nro often odd, y o u know."

After this sho took jiaius to discover M r s . Mi l l er ' s antecedents, and grow rarliant when she loariit thnt she -ivas a Bliss S m i t h beforo hor m a r r i a g e — a Bliss S m i t h whoso grandfather wfts a socond cousin of M r . Smith's own father and st i l l Bfrs. B l i l lor d id not guess at tho gront social importanco of this afternoon tea-drinking.

B u t tho Smiths dîd. A s they drove homo together, tho o l d l ady r e m a r k e d , " T h a t is a c h a r m i n g l i t t le lady. I -will arr.ingc things for hor ."

A u d jsassiag M r s . D o u b l e d o e B r i c k on tho road, sho ca l led to her, " S n o h a

T h o news soon spread ovor tho place. T h o Smi ths h a d been to M r s . M i l l e r ' s tea. Sho was re lated to thom.

O l i , BIrs. O p i o ! D i d sho over read y o u r " W h i t e L i e s , " I wonder?"

BIrs. B l i l l or was gootl-humorod, but sho was also br ight . She soon under stood the situation, and it took a great dea l of court ing to win her into O p a l society. W h e n once there, sho become authority on a l l fashionable (Questions, and after the Smiths , hor nistice is the notico requisite to introduce new peopio. E e m e m b o r i n g hor own oxporioncos, she is always very k ind .

ozone, tho nature of whioh was so long a mystery, aud about w h i c h so many coni l ict i i ig hyijothesoa havo been devised, is now, says the Lancet, becoming wel l k n o w n to nn. Ozone is a denser form of oxygen. Its specific gravity is 24, that of eOmmon oxygen be ing l U , and that of hydrogen 1. I t is h i g h l y probable that . i ts molocnlos contain three s imi lar oxj'gon atoms. I n the concentrated state it is a p o w e r f u l i r r i tant poison, and is very unstable, do-compos ing w i t h explosion and with evolut ion of heat, and exert ing a most powerful action on oxidizable mater i als. E o r some time past it has been k n o w n that it l iquifies under tho influence of oombinod co ld a n d pressure. 'The l i q u o r is ind igo b lue , a n d its vapor, i n a to lerably concentrated state, has a c o l o r whioh can only he compared to that of tin Ital ian sky.

Sodii Water. T h e d r i n k i n g of, so-called, s o d a

water, is becoming more and more gen oral, T l i o r o nro near ly seven thousand fountains i n Bos ton alono. 'Thoy nro fouud not on ly iu d r u g s t o r e s , b u t in restaurants, bnr-roonis, coufoc-t ionory stores, nnd reta i l merchant ostabl'ishment.s. O n o honso in tho city has a fountain which cost between $5,0013 nnd $U,000.

A l l nro fami l iar with tho efforoscenco a n d foam that attend tho m i x i n g in water of carbonate of soda and tartaric acid. A s the t erm "soda" is appl ied both to tho fountain and to tho d r i n k issuing from it, ono natura l ly supposes that thero is soda in tho foaming fluid ho is taking.

I t is not ao, howover. T h o water is chargod with carbonic ftcid, nnd is flavored aud sweotonod with somo one of tho various syrups . T h o carbonic ac id gns is forced into water w i th n pressure of 180 pounds to the squnro inch , and it is the oscapo of this gns when tho faucet is turned and tho water Hows into the tumbler thnt causos tho foaming.

T h e gas was f o r m e r l y obtained f r o m cnrbo'nato of soda, nnd honoo the prosont namo, w h i c h s t i l l cling.s to i t ; but it is now obtaiuod from mavblo, which is a carbonate of l ime . Bl'iirblo is s imp ly l ime and carbonic acid chemical ly co'inbiuod. T h o union is a weak ono. S u l p h u r i c acid has a m u c h stronger alliuity for tho l imo thau tbe carbonic acid lias, .md upon being p o u r e d ou powdorod marble , releases tho carbonic acid, which is then absorbed hy tho water. It makos no diU'oronco with tho dr ink whether the carbonic acid is obtii ined f rom soda or marble , since no th ing but the acid passes into tho water.

I n and i n tho n e i g h b o r h o o d of largo cities iho sellers of sodn-waterdo not charge their own fountains. It ia dono for thom at largo cuntral establishments.

T h o question has boon p u t to ns if soda-water is wholesome. A l m o s t nny ac idultatod d r i n k is pleasant i n s u m mer, and it often meets a roal need of tho system. I ' robab ly carbonated water is as wholesome as any.

AVo should adviso loss of the syrup than is c o m m o n l y taken, par t ly be causo it is apt not to bo pure, a n d part ly because, even if pure, i t i s not very good for tho stomach. " P l a i n soda" ia bettor than soda wi th syrnp, and, after a htt lo timo, quito ns pleasant as that.

W o boliovo that care is t aken to have tho water pure , and to keop the apparatus free f r o m corrosivo matter, and when this is done no harm is l ike ly to result from a moderate resort to tho f o u n t a i n . — C o » i ? i f m w i .

A Rac ing Stable. P o r centuries past r a c i n g has boon

s ty led a r o y a l pastime, nnd a r i g h t costly ono it is at t h a t AVhon at tho close of a seiison, the statement is m a d e that a certain stable has captured $100,000 i n stakes a n d purses, the idea prevai l s that a l l of the methods of gaini n g money this must bo be tho most del ight fu l and exci t ing of its class. B u t as the F r e n c h axiom runs , thoro is a I'o-verae sido to the piotnro, aud i n many cases with somber colors, owing to tho vast sums that are requ ired to c a r r y on a largo ostabl ishmontof thoroughbreds . Ne i ther in E u r o p e nor i n this country can a case bo ment ioned whore rac ing has y i e lded handsome returns when established on a g r a n d scale and when entries arc mado i n tho p r i n c i p a l stakes and purses thronghont tho country. T h i a is the reason why tho owners of sntih ' ostablishmonts aro often obl iged to back thoir horses in tho books i n order to balance their accounts at the ond of the season.

L o r d F a l m o u t h , who is now tho largest winner on tho E n g h s h turf, has often r e m a r k e d th.at the keep ing of nipre than a dozen horses i n tra in i n g s imply meant money thrown away, and large stables i n this country in^ var iab ly met w i th tho same experionco.

O w i n g to tho keen compet i t ion foi thoroughbreds of h i g h degree, tho first cost of m o u n t i n g an establishment if a very important i t e m iu the requ ired expenditure, r u n n i n g o n a n nvorago f r o m !5il,500 to $2,000 a head as yearl ings . N e x t come tho tra in ing ox lien>,es, about $5 a week; ]ocko.y's fooa f r o m $10,000 to $15,000 a year ; then the entries to various stakes at a l l tho rao] i n g centers, and last ly , the trave l ing oypensos, which are very heavy, espo-c i i i l ly for stables that aro wintorelon this coast. .

I t is thus safe to say that such racing establishments as those of H a g g i n 01 tho D w v o r B r o t h e r s cost annual ly from $70,000" to $100,000, count ing M e r e l y the interest on the money oxpendod in tho-purchase of stock.

IVasl i ingtou Le l t e i ' .

Eroni onr roguhr correspondent. Wasiiin'uton, D.C, Cot. 1.'/, 1887,

Heretofore, your corrcspondeut has writ, ten of the manil'ostoof Civil Sorvieo Com. missioner Oborly against the orL'aiiinatlon of the federal employes into political usso. oiations, and also of temporary cominolioii caused by the communication, whioh wus (]tlialily succeeded by a aentimelit of strong deliaucc. This feeling hns .found further expression in the forinalioii of a new political club, called "The National Democratic Association," wilh nn influonlial niBmher-Hhip from every slate or territory of the union, which it is proposed to extend lo each congrcsaiomil district ol Iho United State.'. The iiasoeiittion is roiiresoiitatiyo in oharncter, and proposes to malm ils in-ilnenoe and uHefitlness I'elt hy tliu diasom-illation of soniid tieinoeratio doctrine and iiilorniatioii among the ina.sscs of tho party everywhere.

So thon, it scoms the uhaso of tho commissioner was a blessing in disyuiso, whatever may havo been ils true purpose, for it goos without siiyini; that tho National Doin-ooratie A.ssoeiation will be a powerful factor ibr good in the noxt presidoiilial contest,

There are throe vacancies in the fiftieth congrosa, ono of them being of national iinporlnnce, ns it involves the political attitude of the state o( Rhode Islund in the event of the failure of tha people to choose a president in 1S88. A t the lirst olcetion held noarly a year ngo, there was no election—neither candidate having a tniijority of all the votes cast—though .Judge Bradley, the democratic nominoc, waa in tho leatl. A second election will ho held next monlh, and there is every itidica-lion ordomoeriitio victory, as they renominated Bradley, and a plurality will elect next linio. Republican defeat would moan ii'iabilily to win tho presidency in caso the choice should devolve upon tho house of roprcsontalives—Ihe repulilioans only lacking- one of having- a tnajorily of the states.

A m o n g tilt! mi'iisnros that will bo presented for the con.Hiduration of the next congress are sovcn new pension hills, prepared by roprosenlnlivea of Ihe Grand A r m y of the ileiiuhlic, and onihodyiiig relief lor all veterans who actually saw service, or for their legal representatives. I fear thai President Cleveland will again be the country's only .lafoguard against a depleted trenstii-y. 13ut i f occasion should require. It is cvidout that his courage ar.d House of duty will be equal to the emergency.

Mes.irs.Aiigell aiidPiitnain of the fisheries cominission were in the cily this week iu conreronco with Secretary Bayard in regard to tho responsible trust coininitteed to tiieir cbargo. After an informal discussion tho cotnniitlee adjouned to convene in the cap. ilal noxt month, when it is expected they will meet the Canadian cominission.

A statement has been prepared at tho poatollice department, showing the postal bnaino.ss transaetetl at thirty of the leading pcstollices of the country for the c|iiarter ended on Sept. liOlh last, and although that period is nanally the dullest of tho year, the receipts of the olBces iu question show nn increase of six and a half per cent over the same qunrtor of laat year. This is a sure nnd substantial tribute to tho Indus trial growth aud progress of the people of tho United States.

The several bureaus of the interior de parlmeiit nre now submitting their annuai reports to Seeretnry Lamar, embracing the work of tho past liscnl year and estimates of the necessary approprinlions for the coming fiscal year. The report of the commi.ssioner of patents shows that the de-liiloalioii of flacon, tho late financial clerk, is SSO.OOO—one of our relics of republican regime. Bacon's bond was only .$10,000, and tho question is whether hissecurites are rosponaiblo for more than that sum.

Great interest is folt al tho'capital ovor thn habeas corpus, trial of the Virginia state ollicers, lately incarcerated (or con-Ininpt of court by United States Judge Bond—the writs being made returnable before the United Statea supreme court on Jlonday next.

The Columbia Democratic club, a politi-cal organiiiaiion of this city, has taken preliminary action toward having the noxt national democratic convention meet at the capital—the (irst move being a grand banquet lo be given the nationnl democratic execntive cointnittee next winter.

P r o h i b i l i o u i n Kansas .

One of tho prohibition readers of the Democrat hns shown us the South Kansas Tribune, published at Independence, Montgomery county, iu which we find the following item, which woidd go to show that prohibition makes litiuor selling, at least iu soinB portions of Kansas, decidedly unprofitable:

"Last Saturday was a cold day for the late keepors of the whiskey joints in Wichita. In A p r i l last the law and order element were overridden in W i c h i t i i , and 200 whiskey dives were opened, backed by the city government and prominent citizens

• aud the leading daily press. Po'r a time it seemed that prohibition was a dead letter. B u t Attorney General Bradford got the lettal machinery in working order, and commiasioned C o l . J . R , Hallowellas assistant with instruction to train tho batteries on the joint keepers. The' legal delays are numerous, and but few have been triod, but i n every case conviction was the result, Last week one of the leading'aaloonista, CoI.EIdridge, coinpromiaed and plead guilty on eleven counts. H e gets eleven months in jtiil and a flue of iSl,100. F r a n k Cross plead'guilty to turo connts and gets two months in jail and a $200 finO, Brown gets eleveii months in ja i ! and'.$1,100 fine.

Tlio H.'id annual fair, hold in Mnson hiat week, was in every respect a grand succe_8.s, Thero wore moro than twenty seven hiin-dred oiitrioa and on Thursday 11,000 people wore in attendance, a large ninjorily of whom we,re tbo solid fanners of tho county with their l'niiiilicS|Ovinciiig an unmistakable iliaposilioti to stand by the grand old lug-hum County Agricultural Society, when it is conducted in a proper manner. A t tho oniaet we promised that everything should bo conducted honestly aud squarely, and that viaitors should be treated respectrully, On this promise you turned out by Imndreds and tluinaaiids, bringing wilh you the choicest products of your vahiablo farms, making a show that is highly creditable to you and your families. In fact tliero was never a more interesting exhibit shewn in the eotinty, So far as wo havo any opportunity to know, we have ftilfilled our promises to you. 'ritcro has not been a dishonest or ilisropiilalilo transaction connected with tho iiiilire iiiatingemcnt. There havo been no cliques nor rings to interlorc and beal you mil of your money or honors, and every officer, without nn exception, exerted him-self to liis utmost to nccommodate and please visilors, You who saw the exhibition can jiidgo of its merits, and if any visitor waa slighted ill tho least, we will take it as a personal favor to be informed of the fact, Thero wan an nnnsual and unexpected sliow of slock, especially horses, By actual coiiiit there wore 287 head entered Ibr premiums, Wilh our limited nccominodations tho horses could not all bu provided for as desired, nnd i l l s tho wonder of the odicers, na well as visitors, how Mr . Clark could do so woll wilh what lie hud to do wilh. N o favnrituisin, however, was shown and we aro happy to say no ilaiiiage was sustained, Tho judging was satisfactory in nearly every instnuce, the judge, II, G . Hollisler of Delavan, Wisconsin, compiimenliua exhibitors by declaring lhat i l was one of the finest shows of horses thai bo ever saw. Every departniciit was full, and all seemed to onioy thoniselves as they have not before ill a long lime.

Last Buinnior the oflicers engaged Prof. 13, U . Hoganol .Incksoii, to make a balloon ascension, on Thursday and Friday, the second and third days of tho fair. H e bound himself as fairly as ono could to perform as advertised. In consequence of a former disappointment, and to make as-assurance doubly sure, Prof, Ilogan was required lo deposito $100 in the First National Bank of Mason, as a forfeit in caso he failed lo appear and make nn ascension. The printed jiortioii of iiis contract was so iiigeiiioualy worded that he was to receive $123 for the lirst nnd $25 for the second ascension. Ilo has virtually acknowlodf!od lhat he ilid not wish lo make a $25 ascon-sion, and therefore mude the first ascension on Friday, for which ho claims $125 and his forfeit inoney. The officers of the society look upon Prof. Hojfan's oonduel as uiifiiir, lo sny tho least, nnd therefore have rof'naed to pay him any money for his Fri -day asconsion and still hold his forfeit money. Wo made the contract in good faith and promised the public a balloon ascension on '(•luirsday, without a doubt that he would perform ns agreed. But ho failed and the hlaiuo must all rest upon him. The odicers of the society cannot find words to express their indignation at tho manner in which ho treated us, not only in failing to make the ascension, but in sending a worth less crank here to insult and assault visitors whose curiosity had led them to approach tho balloon grounds. We sincerely trust that the public will not harbor the thought for a moment that there was nny collusion with P r o f Hogan nor blame the society lor what wo conlii not avoid. We performed our duly honestly and made every effort possible to have the balloon go up.

It is not every counly agricultuial society lhat is honored by Iho presence of the governor, as ours was on Thursday, and the eloquent address delivered by him was a most excellent ono, and highly appreciated by the lai'ge uudienco that listened. H e knows all about farming, and how to lell it to interest and inatruct. >/

Financially you did well. The receipts, although not all counted up-, will approximate $1,000, beiii<; sufficient to pay the proiniuma in full, as v/ell aa the other e.v-pensea of the fair, and a nice little sum left to apply on old indeblndneas, so we can truthiully sny the fair wns a grand success.

Farmers of Ingham county, your agricultural society is again on its feot, aud in your own handa. It belongs to you and should be iiiimaged by you. See to it in the future that i l does not leave your con trol. Own it nnd run it as you would any

Tho effects of the rarity of the atmosphere were fell as soon as the start wns made, nnd it wns impossible to proceed more lhan a few yards without stopping to take brenlh. The ascent was made in zicr. zags, and naturally a rest was taken at the end of each direct lino. A t the start to climb for eight minutes and rest fivo was considered making very good time. It was not long before a rest of eight minutes was required for every four of climbing, and alter lialf the ascent was made we rested more frequently ntidwithout exerting ourselves to sit down. We thrust our staves into, the snow and leaned our heads upon them. Drowsiness overtook us, and progress became tneohanioal. We moved, only as spurred on hy our watchful guidea. If left to ourselves we would have fallen asleep. Our hearts beal wilh fearful rapidity and the breath became shorter and ahorter, Ringing sensations in" the head like those produced by large doses of quinine, were experienced, , The most acute pains shot through the skull. Con versation was suspended, except among the truides, and their voices fell on our ears' as if coming from a great distance. It was impossible to tell what progress waa being, made, for the lop and boltoin seemed equi-distant all the way up. Wo barely escaped the most severe experience likely to occur to those who reach that high elevation ; bleeding at the nose, mouth and ears.. It would have been the signal that we had gone loo far, that li'eart and lungs refused lo submit further, and we should have placed aurselves in the hands of our guidea to be carried back to TIainacas,

Our physical endurance was stretched ah most to its limit by the tioie tho head guide shouted, "Here we are 1 Smell the sulphur I" The whiff of sulphurous amoke which greeted our nostrils, telling that our tusk wns nearly completed and rest wns at hand acted like a powerful stimulant. Wo awok for a final efforl, pressed on, and rested not until we stood brenthlfiss upon the summit of Popocatepetl.—.'IW/ntr Howard Noll, in

PAMTIVE WORTH of BAKING POWDERS.

Nor th A u r e l i u s .

C i r c u i t Cour t .

On our fifth page to day wi l l be found a striking and illustrative illustration ol the comparative worth of the different kinds of baking powders now in tho market.

A pocketbook containing two five dollar gold pieces and an rilnslish half sovereign, o certificate of deposite for §100 and a note against Alfred Bobison for §72 was extri catod from the pocket of Mrs. A n n Fox of Alaiedon, while in floral hall last Thursday.

Gov. Luce visited tho fair last Thursday, ns advertised and entertained one of tho finest crowds ever on the fair grounda. His speech was short, but practical and full of good wholesome points, at least so say those who heard him. Tho crowd was so large we didn't even see him.

John Hogan, who claimed to be here for the purpose of inflating the balloon for the professor, seemed to have the idea that he ought to whip the entire audience and nt least answer every remark that applied to him. Arthur Jewett of Vevay, happened to stand in reach of him during one of his ugly spells and waa slapped and kicked by Hogan, who afterwards very willingly gavo up $5 and the costs. Cheap enough.

The October term of the circuit court opened at Lansing on Monday morning, with Judge Qridley presiding. Court adjourned Tuesday evening and Jud^jeGridley will finish the irncksoii term before returning. Tlio following is a synopsis of tho proceedings thus far;

In the familiar embezzlement case of the people against Eugene B . Wood, a motion lor continuance was made and will doubtless be granted.

The adultery case against Dr , W m . M o f fett of this city, an account of whichwns given in these columns at llie timo of his arrest last siiiiiiner, resulted about as expected by nearly every one acquainted wilh iho facts. When tho case was called a nolle prosequi was entered, and the case dropped.

Tlie people vs. George Whitney—assault ami baltory. Settled.

The people vs. D . Grimes—uttering forged paper. Motion to quash information.

In the bigamy caac against Almernon, better known as Doe, Christian, waa oallod and a plea of not guilty entered. Attorney Cahill of Lansing, waa appointed to defend.

Motions were mado to conlinue the criminal cases against Wm. Benson, for burglary, Horace Jump for bastardy, and E . T , Uorniug. for falae pretenses. Tho latter was arraigned and pleaded not guilty.

Forty threo jury oases, issues of fact, were called and declared ready lor t r i a l ; 5 cases were continued by conaent; 12 mo tions to adjonrn were mndo, 1 to strike from paloiidar, nnd 2 for security for costs,

Tuesday morning the jury arrived and Chas, iMoBride of thia city, and several others were e.Kcnsod for the term and all others discharged until Monday ne.Nt, when the ease against James Warrington, for resisting an olficer, is on oall. The day was spent in hearing motions in pro coiifesso divorce cases.

Rufus Raymond will teach a four months term of school in district No. 4, this winter

Holloy & Bullen sold 7,000 pounds of sugar during tlie llrst aix months that their store was open to tho public.

There are many things of whioh tho peopio of this place can justly feel proud, but the recent actions of the clioir is something of whioh we aro a l l ashamed.

"Peterson" for November is before ua; i l is evidently determined to go out, this year, with flying colors, Tbe ateel-plate is the finest of tlie year : I t is a copy of one ol Millais 's most ohnriaing pictures of children —the portrait of pretty little Miss Muffett, of nursery fume. The wood.engravings "The IIomo.Rulers" is, in its way, equally noticeable 1 it ia the loveliest production of Kate Greenaway's facile pencil. The fashion plates display their usual excellence, and among the numerous interesting stories a verv iioticeablo one ia " A l i c e Benton," by the popular southern authoress, Mias M . G . McClel land. The prospectus for 1888 olFera the promise of even greater attractions for the coming twelvemonth.. "Peterson" has earned the right to stylo itself a magazine of literature, art, and fashion ; for, in every essential, it unites the distinctive features of threo separate magazines, either of whioh one would acknowledge to be of superior merit. During nearly a half century it haa so thoroughly fulfilled every pledge, that we feel sure tho richer promises of the coining year will be fully kept, "Peterson" is really a household-necessity. Every lady should tako it. The terms are two dollars per year, with greatly reduced rales when taken in clubs, and with unusually fine premiums to those getting up clubs, viz : Three copies for $4,50, with tho handsome book of engraiings, "Choice Gems," or a fine steebengraving, "The Wreath of Immortelles," for premium 1 four copies for $6.40, or six copies for $9.00| wilh an extra copy, free, to the getter-up of the club ; or five copies forSS.OO, or seven copies for $10,50, with both nn extra copy of the magazine and either "Choice Gems'' or the engraving as premiums. A n y lady can, with a little effort, secure at least one of these premiums, nnd perhaps a l l of them, SpeeimonB sent free to those who desire to get up clubs.

Very thr i l l ing and sonsational is the Siilo of this sketch. T h o civi l ian might •wonder what cou ld bo writ ten about it. B u t to tho •pcteran thoso words mean a great d e a l ; to h im they s tand tor tho Jight a n d tho shady side of the soldier's life. T h e r o is vory m u c h to be said on the snhjeot—so much that I can onl.y glance at it i n this co lumn.

T h e r e woro, l irst a i id last, iu the volnnteor a r m y of tho U n i t e d States duri n g tho war no le3.s than a m i l l i o n a n d a half of soldiers.

I n order •ihat these iramenso hosts should be ablo to m a r c h and fight thoy had to bo led, ftnd aysleniatically fed. A s to how thia stupendous job was continual ly accomplished, wo are st i l l wonderi n g ; a n d tho soldiers, who know bettor than an body else the s ize of tlio job,: wonder the most. W h a t tho soldiers do know about it ought to bo put into pr int . . I

T h e sTjbjoet n a t u r a l l y falls under two LiMds—-tho ro,gular a n d the i rregular foflflhig of the soldier. A n y b o d y who im'ftgines ;<rom ihis onumera i ion that it is tho b e g i n n i n g of a s ermon on army aubsatenco is rocomtnonded . to r ead r ight on, and he w i l l be soon uude-ccived,

Soldiers wore accustomed to spealc of n situation where thoro •was l i tt le duty and plenty to oat, as a "soft thing.; ' The'express ion p a r t i c u l a r l y re ferred to the troops who garr isoned tlie forts or: were b i irrnckod iu the large cities as ii permanent gni ird. T h e s e comrades, most of thera, only wanted the occasion^ to show that tbero was l i g h t in tiielcn;' indeed the worst s laughter at C o l d E n r b o r 'Wfts among the heavy art i l lery regiments , fresh from the forts at B a l t imore; but the duty first named was, after a l l , m u c h h k e p l a y i n g solclier. A comfortable b u n k to sleep i n , undor a t ight roo f ; fu l l rations e v e r y d a y , so large in. quant i ty that there -was an Ox-cess to sell, or swap, whereby delicacies were p r o c u r e d ; a l l this, w i t h tho easy duty aud no inarching, was empliatitj-n l l y " a a o f t thing,'! but, i n the oye of the Koldior of two or three hot campaigns, i t was not soldiorin;:,'.

Often i n passing some immense depot of comiuissary supp ly i u the c i ty or" i n the field, I paused tb' l o o k at the vast BtrncturoMOf boxes of h a r d bread, tho pi lca of ooU'eo i u sacks, the p y r a m i d s .

T h e collbo givon us waa un i formly good.

I'orhaps some of niy comrades w i l l th ink that tobacco s b o u l d be named as ono of tho chief indisponsablcs of tho soldier. It rea l ly was so, aud thero •wore' times when it was issued free with tho ration, and othor times, pret ty far down in D ix i e , whon tho boya issued it to thomsolvoa wlionovor thoy could lay hands on it, K o t using it mysolf, I s t i l l d id uot fai l to obsorvo tho groat consolation that it gavo to a l l soldiers, h i g h and low, tvhose lot ivos cast whero mine was, I can do no hotter thau to furnish to such comrades somebody's very pieturosquo lines on the subject;

Ilook upon tills round, groon hall, Wlioro iioots aiug and warriors fight,

Whoro doatli so Buroly sizoa all. And Imivo men atr.njf;lo for tho right;

Whoro, 'mid tho din and woo aud strife, .Stonthoarts still beiir tliia heavy lito; And soo that ail tho inighty mon,

and tho new goiieration it may ho exp la ined that this great stall' of tho soldier was Issued hnbitni i l ly i n exactly the shape of a soda cracker. ' T h o para l l e l ceases with .^hapi'. T h e y were h a r d ; emphat ica l ly hard.

A box of thom waa once not iced with the brand , " B . 0.—(idy." T h e meaning was not evident, bn t the soldiers wero not at a loss for an intorprotat iou. "It is the dato of waking ," said one, "CG3 years before C h r i s t ! "

T h o recruits , find all green soldiers, were shy of them at first; but they soou camo to it. T h e hard-taok w o u l d stand any climate. T h e y were never fresh, never stale. T h o y wero insect-proof. T h e bugs got into the holes, a n d could make no impvession. Tho.y had. to give it up. l'..xperieuco made tho soldior wise, and taught h i m that a haversack fu l l of hard-tack wns a blessing .

In a r«oent ro lort of conelnsious, ro.'.fhed through o ong series of oxpori-mouts coucorning tho feeding ot ont straw, .l.'xofesBor fjnnboru, of ll iasouri, says that Ihis straw is mainly valuable as a heat nnd fat producer. It does not produce much ffif, bocauso cattio will not ont onough of it. It conlains but ouo-l'ourth por cent, of digestible albuminoids, or ilosh formers, and forty per cenl. of digestible car-boliydrales or lat forniors. Honco, to use it with advanl4ige and get Iho fnll bonolit of it, it must bo fed with a food of directly the opposite kind, such as oil nieal or cottonseed meal. 'The Professor fouud that thiriy-l'our pounds of oat straw nud six ponnds ot. cotionsood moal has 1)2.2 per cent, of albuminoids nnd but 17.(1 por oont. of carbohydrates, thus forming, with tho straw, a woll-halancod rntio. Oat mo.il conlains 27.11 per cent, of nUniminoids and 27 por oont. ciirhobydratos, ao ihat It pound more of oil meal thnn ot ooltouscod inoal should he fod. Tho cost ot this feed as coniparod with hay at $5 a ton, or | ot a cent per pound, is nn imjiortaul quo.stiou. I l is snid to tako twenly-five pounds of it 10 make asloor gain a pound a day, or G.j-cents daily to koop him in good growing oonditiou. But if hy foeding four pounds of oil moid, worth !. cents por ponnd, tho saniq gain can ho mndo, and b j feeding a propbrtionntoly loss umonnt -r'O can keep uji tho weight, it will help out a short crop of liny. But to tho farmer who has not nud cannot got oi l nionl, tho following facts will bo of viilue: GloYor buy contains 9 per coul. of albuaiinoids. timothy oonlaius <(i and onts itrnw i per cint .; thorotoro, it w i l l bo soon that a ton of clovor bay food with a ton of ont straw will bo otjunl iu value to two tone of timothy, bocuttse clover hay coutuius nlbumiu-oids, and it is waste to food it by i t s» l f , ns 11 is waste to feed oat straw alone. A steer food ou strnw long enough wonld starve, but when fod with clovor thoy nro a well-bnlauced ration, and make a poor hay crop go much fiuthor. It is dourly ostnblishod thnt Ihe food-value of oat straw onu be ob-Ininei). only hy feeding with something thnt has aa excess of nihuiniuiods and a doli-cienoy of carbohydrclos. Tho fiumor's food of this class ia clover hay.

'.l.'ho young aud growing animal must havo a variety of food iintiiral lo ils wiiiils, bnt tho animal destined to bo worn out in hauling loads, driving on the road, or for a fast )inee ou Iho rnoiuK-oourso must ho dovolopud moro slowly as to bono, siuow, nnd inusclo thau that iulouded for tho butcher; for, ns Ilosh to be oaloti, tho moro oiiuiilly tho loan is interspersed with fat tho luoro valiiablo tho meat. 'I'his is bost attained by giving more fat-foraiiug food than would bo necessary to tlio nuiuinl intended for milk or labor. Ju tbo one case tho most jiTolit is gotlou by a conrBo ot feeding that will bring the animal to tho block is tho shortest possible time, hi connection wilh such exorcise as shall keep the body in perfect health, bo thnt tho digestion may bo ]>orfoct. l u the other caso exsreiso onough must he given not only to conserve health, but thoniusolos must have exorciso enough to strouglhon tbo system iu ovory pari. 'The (endoncy to fnt must bo kept down by strong exorcise, tor only in this way cnn perfect dovelopinout bo accomplished.

There must be far moro daily wnste iu the aniinni intended ns a brooder or foj milk Ihnn in tho fattening nnimal, 'The fnltening animal ends its lifo in oue, two, or three yoars, as the case may bo.

Yet itoomos back iu proiit, and, i f more slowly, uover-Ihc-lcBB na surely as in Ihe caBo of tho animal forced oiirly to a lit state for tho bntebor.

O f all the methods employed to secure a crop of onions for market or homo use, sowing the seed for the main crop is the simplest nnd bost. But ns it is not ouly very desirable bnt nbsoluloly heooasnry in amateur gardening to obtain onions as curly in tlio Hoason ns possible, sols must be used, nnd theso mnst be plnuled as early in tho spring ns possible; i i fact, as soon ns tho ground cnn bo properly pro-pared. If this is done, the Anions will bo ready for use in the green state by ,Tune, nnd July tho crop can b« gnlhered nud stored iu nny dry, airy silnntion, and tbo ground cnn be propurod far another crop. A deep, riob, olntuj-, soil is the most suitable for this crop, aud it Bhoiild raocive n good dressing of woll-docayod stable manure, which should bo as thqronfl^ly in-corpornted with the soil gs possible, nnd then a thorough harrowing should be givon to level it olf ns nicely as possible, whon it should bo ninrkod off in rows about sixteen inches npart nnd two inches in tlopth.

In tlieso rows or drills Ihe sots nro placed about three inohea apart, each set or bulb being pressed down llrmly, so that it will keep its plnco, nnd when all ura plantotl tho row or drill should be filled iu with the rnkti BO ns io cover sets or bnlbs plctely.

'.I'ho season of duck-shooliug, to which SO many sportsmen in all sections of tho country havo looked forward for somo weeks past, has now fairly arrived, and huntsmen only await the advont-of a bit of cold wenllior to follow tho generally rainy season that has prevailed throughout tho country to enter npon a seasou that promises to bo prolific of much line sport. Duclw aro reported iu nnusnally largo nnmbors in lho far northom waters, and two or at least three wookn moro must bring ihem southward to tho feeding grounds i n the marsh and lalio distriots of Wiscousiu, lown, Illinois and Michigan. Squirrel aro repiirted in greater numbers this year than over boforo, aud fortunately for the busby-tails, the fancy of tho squu-rel-hnntor has this season turned to tlie small caliber rifle ns a monns of bringing down thoir gamo, instead of tho « h o t - g u n . "I don't waut any better fun," snid a squirrel shooter the other day, "thnn lo spend an atteruoou in a good Bt iu irro l distiict with a 32-caliber rifle and plenty of ammunition. I tried a smaller boro for n while—22-caliber—but prefer the 32. The biggor gun genorally makes two holes In yonr squirrel—one whore it enters and ono where it comes out —but your gamo drops evoi-y timo he is hit. It beats shot-gtm practice all to pieces."

M r . Charles Wil lard, a prominent moniber of two or throo of 'Chicago's oldest shooting olnha, predicts an nnusnally good aenaon for all kinds of game. "Ducks will bo plenty," he saya, "whilo chicken, goose, and squirrol—judging from tho advicos I have received during the past week-are very numerous throughout Iowa, Wifioonsin, Minuosota, and Illinois. Tho demand for guns ancl aportamen'a wear is heavier thau I have known it to bo at this timo for tivo .years past. Our company has just mailed its fall ootalogno of firearms and spottsinon's goods, ombi-aoing about two car-loads of printed matter. If each one of these catalogues should supply one sportsman for a day's hunt for duclia, and these sportsmen should bag tbe naual quantity of game, the supply of d.ncks would be just about exhausted."

Tliiit winter I classed iiaiong t lic happiest of my lifo. AVo were so ('omfortablo, so cozy, sn ont.ii'Cly devoted lo eneli ollici', that tbo days wero never long or the evenings Icdious. A\''e seldom went out cxeepb to clmrcli. Jfi's. ICent, I found, .iviis a cultured woman, und under her teachings I improved rapidly.

CIIAPTI!!^ TX. I will not, woai',v tlio rcadev with a full ac

count ot my lifo for Hio next two yoars. It passed with very littlo ot intorost to tbo outsider. A t the c#d of Uiis lime I was a woll grown girl of sovontcon, and tliongh I liad mixed very lilllo in socioty I f laltoml myself I was in a'moasuro froo from that awkwavdnoss so pain.fully common to girls brought up in soclusioii. I bad during this time hoard ocoasionally from tho Clayton's, who still resided at Calodon, ns of old. Inna Barrett was not yet;, married, though .she had boon a reigning- liello for two seasons. Her bcauly and iiuinoiiso fortune brouglit bor hosts of admiroi's, but Iter vani nature would not yot nilow her to bo bound by Uio ebiiiiis ot boU'oUialov niatrimony. Oliver Dudley ^v;ls slill single also, though I sometimes lioai-d with a slron g pang at; my heart, of his iissidious aUeiitioii to Irma Barrett.

"A\''hut was it to mo," I asked myself, angrily, "wliothur lie inarriod tho lioiross or not!"

Surely be was nothimr lo inc. Had ho not scorned the litUo beggarly dependant, and did I not have causo for bating hira for such an uiigralcl'ul reUirii for the devotion to liira I cbcri.sliod) A n d I did hato biin, I cried, angered nt iny foolish heart, that just as often gavo proof of the falseness of this assertion.

It was Hie -ivintei' of my scvonleonth year that'Mi's. .Konti received an urgout invi t i -tioii from a friend in New Y o r k to visit her. Thoy had been old and dear friends, and Jlrs. ICoiit, though she did not liko tho ideaof a g a y w i n l o r i i i tho metropolis, yot felt obliged to accept her friend's invitation for the sako of old times.

Having novor yet caught oven .glimpse of the gay world, it is no wondor felt some delight, yet a groat; deal of trepidation, at tho thought; of boing visitor at; one of^ the richest and most fasliionablo mansions in the city. Mrs . Kent, having uo desiro that I should appear backward or illclad," provided ino with an ample wardrobe and spent much timo in instructing mo iu fasliionablo etiquette—to all of which I listened with, closest attention, detoriniiied that i f possible my kind patron should have no causo to foor mortified at iny apptianince.

"Dour child," said Iitrs. Kent, "how anxious you nro to improve yourself in my eyes; though," alio added, "you aro good, enough and polished oiiougli tdroady, for you havo iiovcrcaused mo a nioiaciit's di.scomfort since you bec.imo my dear adopted daugh-tor.V ; . •

A n d I felt that she had paid mo tho liigh-cst complimoub. I could havo cared to hoar. : . .

. W o linally found ouraolvos domiciled .'at M r s . Loibcrg's .splendid and hospitable mansion. ' She, like jiiy adopted mother, was a widow withniarricd sons and daughters. Ouo soii, however, resided vvith I his mother and bis;\vifo and their- ICvoly chil-

"dren wore tho pride of her.heart. '' •• ' Wo. :w6ro '^yarmly x'cdeivcd,' .and I

felt at. ...honiQ- ut onco- with-' the whole family.' ; I' now , for tlio, - Hi-st-

joslly plcuuurcf, l.linl; only tho rich can af-lord. •

'Wo were mio day 'Iriviil;,'- in llio park, my-jelf, tho .younger' j'\Ii',-i,.ljoibcrg and Uio 3lilldron, -wlieii sudduniy ii carriage, passed us in whoso (iccupmits I recognized somo-thing stnuigoly J'liniiliar. I loaned forward Lo catch a clo.ser g:llnipBO, aud as 1 did so tho gentleman luriiod lii.s hiliid and I caught sight of bis face. 1. could not lie mistaken -—the dark e.ycs, tiiu unit/ curling hair und .shapely foriii \\>:ra none other Uiiiii Oliver Dudley's. I know bim iiislanlly, ninlitoi i lyi iecdoil a glanco at the golden hair of tho beauty liesiilo liiiii to iiscortain tlmt it wiiH Irma l iarrel l .

I sank Imc.k with a quick, keen jiain at my heart; my luiiul (.'luWliing aimlessly at my ricli sablo mull', iiiy cliookH growing slrangoiy iiale, 1 know,, for kind . Jlrs. Leibci'gut once enquired i f l •woroill.

"Ob! no; it i.s iiolhiiig," 1 iiuswered, cnlinly enough, wondering even ul rnysolf U i u t l c o n l d bo so Hlrciigly moved at tbo sight of Uiis man, who was not, nor over could bo, aught lo inc.

I wont homo fueling slrangoiy do))rcssod. It was lU'obablo then Uial Uio Cliiyloiis woro iu tho cit.y. 1 llad Iicard of tlioir soiyo-Uiiios visit ing iioro, 1 sliuiild bo almost certain to nicolll icm i know, und iiiy heart bout quickly at Uiu Uiought, I'or 1 never oould regard thom iu any olhor light Uiaii my bit-Ici'ost oiicniius.

Jfrs. Kc i i t inc t 1110 ill the parlor. "Thoro ia 11 goiitleiuiui to sec you in Uio drawing-room, .Dorrio," she iiiiid, smiling. "Strange how atlraclivu J lr . lluH'our (iiaming Uic gentloiiian) liiids our limiao of lato," she added, archly. "And Ciiloncl Bally called al.so Uiis niiiniiiig. Hoall.y, Dorrio, you arc gell ing to bo qiiilo a liollo."

I laughed ligflilly at iicr words, and ran up to iiiy room to remove niy wraps beforo going down Id meet niy friend. I felt iiiigry a l myself Uuil I could nol fool more than a passiii;,' i i i luresl in Uiis liaiulsomo young liairour, wluwo adiiiiralion for me iiiid been a palont fuel siiieo onriii'st meeting. H e was rich, youn.g, luindsomo—what iiioro could I desire. J ly friends, too, all looked il]ioii bim willi favor, and I felt guilty wlien I rcniciiibcrcd how I had on-eoun'iged his atloiaimi -\vhen I felt foi' liiin only friciidsbip, not lovo, not even tbo ghost of it.

Tboro was also Colonol Baily, iinoUior, in everyway, eligible KUitov; o.veopt in the inattorof age, ho lieiiig a nuiuber of .years iny senior, Uiough nol old, by nny means ho was handsome and eourt,l.v, a very Iriug among men, soinu ^vollld luivo called him B u t I did not cai'o for him, t said,perversely 1 should never fall in love; men wore all alike to ino, and AVliy did thoy auuoy mo wiUi Uieir allcnlicus.

"Now, if Oliver Dndle.y were Edgar Balfour," I found ni.ysclf sa.yiug, aud llien I stopped. "Dorcas I'j.vuii" I criod, menially in a rage wiUi m.yself, "for such foolis tlionglils I am aslianicd ot .you; Surely you have lost much of your boiLslcd prido to lament a man .you never know, bosido, ono wlio is engaged to auo the r;" and thus silcnco-ing my heart I went down delcrmined to bo vory kind lo Mr. Balfour in future nnd to permit no thought of Oliver Dudley to stand between ino and Ibo duly I owed Mrs. Kent , who, I knew, rogai'dod Edgar Balfour as a most oligiblo young ninn. I think I jnu.st bavo succeeded vory woll in my attempt to appear agreeable, for M r . Balfour not only paid mo sovorul raUieroxtraviigaiit compliiiicnls, but several times I barely avoided receiving from him a direct ofl'or of his heart and hand b.v judiciously turning convci'.sation into anoUicr chiinuei.

The no.\-t day as was our custom, wo drove in the park, and again 1 saw Oliver Dudle.y, but alone this time, and I could but remark how pale and worn ho looked, liko a person hard worked or i l l in body or raind. 'We ])aaaod him twice and at llio last lime he raised his eyes and gave mo a direct look that made mo start; but ho evidently did not recognize mo, for bis oyos did not linger, only turned carelessly, almost mournfully, away as he passed on, leaving mo flushed and troubled and dislurhod.

Theno.ft day I went again; iu vain did I resolve not to go near tho park again; tho temptation ^yas too great, and that afternoon found us again among the crowd of gay arisloerats that daily Hock tboro. But to-day I was disappointed; though I strained my o.yesin all directions for a sight of that well-kno\vii form, I was not rewarded. Jlrs . Lo ibcrg softly inquired i f I wero looking for any ouo in particular. "If it ia for Colonel Bailey, thero he is," she said, laugh-ing, while 1 shrank back in tho cacriago fooling ashamed of mysoif, yot dovonUy wishing Iho Colonel wero at tho antipodes. But I could not mope, though much inclined to do so, for tho Colonel aoconipauicd ua homo and then attended us to a musical en-tortainineut at tho liou.so of a friend.

It was Olio o'clock before 1 was at hborty to seek my own room and thoro niuso ovor Uio changed appoaranco of Oliver Dudley, for to keep him from ray thoughts was an utter impossibility, I saw his face in the gleaming embers of tlio fire; I heard his voice in tho moaning wind; whatever way I turned I was confronted by the same form, and I fell asleep to dream strango, troubled dreams, in wh ich tho center flguro was ahvays Oliver Dudley.

I awoke iu tho moruing strangely do-prossod and unhappy. I wandered aimlessly about until evening, when wo went, as

But just at-;liat, iuatunt our driver, au-loycd at the delay luid seeing the way •loarod at bi.^l, gavo imr horses a sharp cut ivith the whiji und wo -.'oi'o whirled away, leaving Jlisa Armi ind , who bad alighted, looking aftor us \riUi a vueaiit s,laro.

Mrs. Loiborg \va;i too well bred to ask ipieslions, but I saw lliat siio hud iio|,od tho wbolunccurreiice and was full oCconjecturo as to who t.lio Hln'.n.sfi'-loiiUiiig woniuii oould have been wlia iuul cviiicnliy rccognizcdmo at sight. But 1 did mil ciiiiglileii her. I could not, wiUioiit giving dutuila ,X did not saro to di.sclose, for J liad liillierlo passed as un Orpliiin, a friend of .Mrs. Kent had loft, and whom sho hud adopted, und no one ever dreauied of niy boing a foiiiidliiig,rciirod by charily; and, though yio.ywere kind aud generous iiooplc, 1 dared not trust to Wioir iii'istocralic ours the true story of my lifo, hoping I could hold luy place, us boforo, among them, Mrs . Kent, too, hud tiiouglit it beat to say uothing iu regard to my parentage, though sliu as woU as mysoif would have scorned lo havo told a falsehood concoriiiiig i l .
