Tlie Baltimore Gazette, In diluting
on current events, stales the runs in
tins manner :
"We ctin imagine, iu some future
chilli's hiotorr ol the United Stntna, s
chnpter snmuthing liko this:
Tli ere lived at one time in the .State
ol Ohio a mini named liutliorlonl I).
TTnyes. There was nothing remarka
ble in his appearance or in his charac
ter, except that his countenance was
viKutit and his manner and conduct
pharifiiical. He was much given to
Sunday schools and ten parties, and
acquired thereby a reputation for mor
ality which otood him in good stead,
when ho finally became a political pro
tender, lie had been very fortunate,
as negative men often are, in every
sdveiiltiro of lile ; he had inherited a
fortuno upon which ho had contrived
to escape taxation ; ho had received a
military title which fitted him as tbe
coat of a giant would fit a dwarf; and
had been elected (iovernorcf IheStato,
becauso ho had been too weak to of
fend anybody and had givon no one
reason to fear him in the future.
When tho Convention of tlm rulling
party of that day met at Cincinnati to
noniihato a candidate for Prcr-iJent,
there was n great boltlo of tho giants,
mortally jeulons of each other and
bent upon mutual destruction rather
than tn permit the great prize to be
carried awuy by any one of them. The
celebrated James G. lilalne, whose tall
monnment built Irom the revenues
arising from his political ventures is
OLIO Ol tha lanHmttelf t iKa. Uaine
coast, was ontitled to tho nomination
becauso tho majority of the delegates
really favored him. Bnt there was all
that time reigning in Pennsylvania a
family named Cameron wbese power
then no Republican citizen of that State
dared to resist, but no traco of which
now remains in any portion of that
Commonwealth. A scion of this pow
erful house, not being1 able to mold
him to his ambitious purposes, had de
termined to slaughter Jumes Ci. Klaine.
He manipulated tho votes which would
otherwise have been given to bim and
transferring at the opportune moment
all his strength to the negative man
from Ohio, whom : nobody dreaded,
made him tha nomineo, because he
thought be thought he could use him.
When the election cams on it was
fonnd that Samuel J. Tilden had been
elected Ptcsidcnt. But in three South
ern Status certain bad men, organised
in bodies called Returning Hoards, bad
Eosseasion of tho ballots which had
oon cast ar.d wcro charged with the
duty of adding them up and promtil
gating tha result. These men wore
paid to alter the returns and to pro
claim thoeloctionof tho defeated candi
dates and soldiers were sent to protect
them while they were doing this wick
ed thing. When thesa votes came to
be counted at Washington a large army
was assembled there to overawe tbe
Congress which might otherwise have
undertaken to defeat this bold conspi
racy. And so fraud first triumphed
in American history and the weak and
negativo man from Ohio became, in
name and form, I'residont of tho Uni
ted States. , ,; -,
Hut no sooner had ho got into power
than he forgot tho men who had raised
him to tho bad eminence he occupied
and began to plot against tho party
which had given him its suffrages, lie
turned a deaf ear tn the leaders and
discarded tho very Cameron himself.
It was eurly observed that he had
lallcn into tho hands of a cunning man
from bis own State, who 'imprisoned
his mind' and used all the power of
Ins Auiniiiistralion lor his own pur
poses anc'.ol aUermanadveiiturertrom
beyond tbo seas who filled his empty
head wif b all sort it ol lantastio notions.
Rutin m-ocens of timo, when the fraud
ulent 1'resident discovered that he
could not create a party of his own
and a common danger threatened him
and tha leaders of bis late party, thny
made a pretenso of uniting again. The
coalition, however, was hollow and de
ceptive. Tbe two elements heartily
detested encb other and could never
thoroughly coallesce. The stalwarts,
as tliey were called, endeavored to nse
Liu joa to drivo the pcoplo from the
polls by bayonet anil to put certain
agonts of their own in control ol the
elections, so as to nullify tho popular
will a second time, liut there seemed
to be but one distinct purpose in tho
public mind, and that was, to revcrso
tho great frauds of 1S7G, and to Jill nir-li
by perpetnal exclusion from ofllcial
life all who had taken part in the per
polration ol that awful crime and, in
apito of ovory impediment to their free
dom ol choice, the pcoplo in 1880 turn
ed out tho last one of them neck and
heels. They fell to rise no more, and
tht great liopiiblic had peacefully vin
dicated its right to existence."
The minister aaked the Sunday
school: "With what romarkablo wea
pon did Samson at one time slny tho
rhilistinesr For while there was
no answer, and the minister, to assist
the children litllo, commenced tap
ping his jaw with tho tip of his finger,
at the same timo saying ; "What's this
what's this T" nlck as thought a
little fellow quite innocently replied :
"The jawbono ol an ana, sir."
A yonng lady who bad been mar

, FREDDIE ASJ) A UXTIE,
TO WHAT I.INdTtl AN INQUlRINO INFANT
t V MAY 00.
Ell Perkins, the famous lecturer, got
into the cars at Cleveland, Ohio, a fow
days B0, when on his way to Chicago,
and took a seat behind an Auntio and
her interesting eix year-old nopbow,
and on arriving at Chicogo, he met tho
editor of tht) 'Jibune and related the
followingi ,j i .,7, .. ,', ,.; , : .. ,. .,
To-day I Hit in a oar-seat on the
Lako Shore road behind a pale, care
worn lady who was taking a little boy
from Ashtabula to Cleveland. As the
littlo boy was of a very inquiring mind,
and as everything seemed to attract
his attontion, 1 could not help listen
ing to some of bis questions.
"What is that, AimtiolV" tho little
boy commenced, pointing to a heap of
yellow corn. , i
"Oh, that's corn, dear," answorcd
tho care worn lody.
"What is corn, Auntio ?"
"Why, corn is oorn, dear."
"Hut what Is corn made of?"
"Why, corn is mado of dirt and wa
ter and air." ,
"Who makes il?" ;
"God makes it, dear."
"Does llo make il in the day time
or in tho night ?" ,
"In both, dear." i
"And Sundays?"
"Yes, all the time."
"Ain't it wicked to make corn on
Sunday, Auntio?"
"Oh, I don't know. Do keep still,
Freddie that's a dear. Auntio is
tirod." '
And, alter remaining quiet mo
ment, littlo Frcddio broke out:
"Whore do tho Rtars eomo from,
Auntio?"
"I don't know; nobody knows."
"Do tho moon lay 'cm J"
"Yes, 1 guess so," replied the wick
cd lady.
"Can tho moon lay eggs, too?" '
"I Biiiinosc so. Don't bother me I"
A short silence, when Prcddio broke
out again :
"Kanny Mason says oxins Is a owl,
Auntio, Is they ! ,
"Oh, perhaps so I"
"I think a whole could lay eggs
rlon t you, Auntie r ,
"Oh, yes I guess so!" said tho
sliamelt'BS woman.
"Did you ever sco a whale on his
nest?"
"Oh, I guess so!"
"Where?"
"Oh, I don't know. Do keep still,
Freddie." And tho lady gavo a sigh
and looked out of tho window.
A moment afterward Frcddio looked
out of tho window and saw a man
milking a cow.
"What is ho doing to tho cow,
Auntio I"' ;
"Milking her, dear.", ,
"Where do they put the milk in
Auntie V . '
"Oh! in her mouth."
"Did you over see them put the
milk in?" ' ' .
"Oh, yes!" ' "
'Where r' '"' " ','
"I mean rio. Freddie, you must bo
quiet; I'm getting crazy f"
"What makes you crazy, Auntio?"
"Oh, dear I you ask so many ques
tions." " ' '
The littlo boy soomcd to be pttr.zled
and thoughtful for a moment; but
soon his curiosity got tbe better ol him,
and, as the cars passed a pasture in
which wore a sheep and a lamb, be
asked: . !
"Where do tho lambs come from,
Auntie?" i ' 1 1 "
"Oh I from tho old sheep. The old
sheep baa them."
"Can littlo boys have lambs ?"
"Certainly. I'll Ictyru havoalamb,
Freddie, when yon got homo."
"Will it hurt mo, Auntie?"
"What hurt you the lamb?"
"No; will it huit me to have it?"
"Oh, Froddie, do stop I You ask
such foolish questions. I'm all worn
out." .. t
"Did you ever have a lamb, Auntie T'
. "Freddie, stop! Don't you speak
again lor ball' an hour I"
Then : tbo poor, worn out woman
sighed, end leaned her head on the
forward seat, whilo Freddie busied
himself by placing his mouth against
the window, and soliloquized in a sing
song tone:,
"Mary had a little Iambi
"Sheep had a littlo Iambi
"Auntie bad a litllo Iambi
"Oh, Auntie I Auntie 1"
, "What is it, Freddie?" asked the
poor woman, waking up. i
: "Did you ever sue a little fly cat
migar?" . j . ! .... - ,
"Yes, dear." . i ',r ,. t '
"Where?'' . . .
"Freddie! sit down on tlm t seat and
be still, or I'll shake you. 1 won't bo
tormented to death. Now, not an
other word !" And tho lady pointed
her finger sharply to the little boy, as
if she was going to stick it through
him. If sli had been a nicked niun
sho would have sworn ; and still, not
withstanding wo have eight million
little boys liko Freddie in the United
States, each one causing more or Icsb
profanity, the Y. M. C. A.'s through
out tho country denounce llerotl as a
binned man, when ho ordered all the
children killed except his own.
THE COLORADO SUEPERD.
Our shepherd must purcliaso his
sheep, and hero coma in a good many
honer-t differences of opinion as to tho
kind which will givo the best results.
Some will buy cheap "Mexicans," ex
pecting to lireed a better quality of
lambs, and then disposool the original
purchase. Others affect the California
stock, which ol lalo years has oomo
into favor iu some quarters. The
weight of opinion, however, would un
doubtedly incline our Aitorprlsing
young runchoro to buy sheep on tho
spot in good condition, and, what is
very important, thoroughly acclimated.
His "bucks" (say about threo to each
hundred ewes) will generally be mo
rinoos. In the Autumn, we will say,
ho begins operations under favorable
auspices, if ist cabin is very plainly
lurtiislied, and bis "corrals, or yards

pass into monotonous round ; and then
tho cold weather comes, and the herder
puts on a thicker coat, and reads less,
and walks about rapidly, and stamps
bis feet for warmth. And then eomo
day, when ho is far away from the
ranch, thoro comes on that dreaded
enemy of sheep, raising a prairiosnow
storm. ' With -but littlo warning ihg
clouds have gathered, and the snow is
fulling in thick and heavy Hakes. Tbo
sheep hurriedly huddle together, and
no powor can make them move. Tho
border may have bad timo to get them
into a gulch, or under a bank ; failing
in this, thorn is nothing lor it but to
stay with them, sometimes a day and
a night, and trust to gelling them homo
when tho storm is over. Not far from
Colorado Springs is a gulch called tho
liig Corral, irr, which more than one
thousand shefp were lost a year or two
ago, having followed each other up to
tho brink, and lallcn over into the
tleep snow. Nor did the Mexican
herder over return to toll tho tnlo, lor
he shared their fato. It is with the
snow storm, indeed, tLat the dark sido
of tbo Colorado shepherd's life is asso
ciated, and tho great tempest of the
Spring of 1878 loll a sorrowful record
behind it. It must ho mentioned that
sheds are an innovation ; that snmo
ranches havo none oven now, and that
beloro they were built tbo sheep wero
exposed, even in tho corrals, to the
fury of tho elements. Per contra, it
should be said that no such storm as
that of March, 1878, has been known
since thoro were any sheep in this part
ol tha country, On this occasion thou
sands and tbousunds of sheen periribed.
Tho snow was eleven feet deep in the
corrals, and sheep were dug out alivo
after being buried for two and even
three weeks !, Their vitality seems very
great, and many perish, not from tbo
pressure of the snow, but from suffoca
tion caused by others fulling or crowd
ing upon them. It is asserted that
they sometimes, while still buried,
work their way down to the grass and
feed thereon. Hut our shepherd has
taken care to have plenty of shedn, and
he knows, too, that by tlio doctrino ol
chunces ho need not count on such u
storm mora than once in ton years,
aud he faces the Winter with a stout
heart. W henevur it is possihlo to send
tho sheep out, the herder takes tlicm
dcHpito tho weather ; but when that is
impossible or indiscreet, they are led
at home.
In May comes "lambing," and the
extra bands are busily occupied in
taking euro of tbo young lambs. With
their mothers, they are separated from
tho rest of tho flock, find, in small
"bunches," then in larger ones ; and in
October thoy are weaned. In Juno
comes shearing an easy and simple
operation ; and, if neod bo, "dipping"
or immersing the slock in great troughs
containing it solution of tobacco or
lime, cures the "scab," and completes
the roar programme. l)ur shepherd
sella his wool, counts the increase oi
his flock afecr weaning, and if, as is to
bo hoped, ho is a g'tod bookkeeper, he
sits down and makes up his accounts
lor the year. It is bard to pieture a
groator contrast than that which ex
ists between tho sheep and tho cattle
business, tho freedom and excitement
of tbo latter bearing about tho same
relation to tho humdrum routine of the
former as does tho appcaranco of the

mnls widely scattered evor tho plains,
and roaming sometimes for months by

(nt bo calls himself ), riding his spirited

The outlook for tobacco as a field
crop may bo thus described : J bo
amount required for homo consump
tion and export is increasing In a larger
ratio than population is. In many
foreign countries tho Government re
stricts, limits, or entirely prohibits the
production of tobacco. In most por
tions of this country where tobacco
was produced in enormous quantities
at an early day, the soil has become so
impoverished that it is now only used
with great dillicully. ; liven by tbo
employment of expensive commercial
fertilizers tho crop produced is com.
paratively small in quantity and poor
as regards quality. . Tobacco impov.
erishes tho soil to a groatur extent than
any ordinary field crop, and, unloss
suitublo fertilizers can bu obtained nt
A reasonable cost, there soon comes a
necessity Inr abandoning the old fields
and for seeking now plaoes suitable 6r
its growth. The occasion for this
change has already arrived in nearly
all the States whero tobacco was the
leading crop half a century ago.' 1
Tobacco is adapted to a very wide
range of latitude. Its cultivation ex
tends from tho equator to tho most

It has boon produced with more or less
profit in every Stato and Territory in
tho country. That tho crop receives

Tho blacksmith has sometimes been

The story goes that, during the

"Tho blacksmith," replied tho mason,
A third stated that he was a stone

King Solomon addressed was the black
smith himself. He was a powerful
man, with bared arms, on which tha
muscles stood out iu bold relief, and,
seemingly, almost as hard as the melal
