SULLIVAN JUJFTS REPUBLICAN. W. M, CHENEY, Publisher. VOL. XT. The way to stop the grade-crossing slaughter is to make the rnilroudu pay for kill'ng people. Over 51,000,000,000 of the securities of the United States, such as railroad, State, municipal and United States bumls, are held in Europe. The Atlanta Constitution iliinks peppermint must be a profitable crop. It, is stated that ti Michigan farmei made $41,000 out of it this year. The Chicago Times figures it out that all civilized countries are suffer ing because of a rebound from extrav agance, speculation, overproduction ami wild dissipation. The neyv pastor of the Duryea Pres byterian Mission iu Brooklyn, N. Y., has tried, unsuccessfully, the experi ment of having young lady ushers in tho church in order to get young men to attend. Tn the United States 0,<)00,000 farm hands raise half as much grain r.s 60,- 000.000 in Europe. Thus the use of proper machinery makes one farm laborer in this country worth three in Europe. A physician maintains in the Medi cal Journal that it is not poverty of diet so much as monotony of diet that exercises an unliealthful influence on the poor. As a matter of fact they eat "stronger" food than the rich, more bread, meat and simple vegetables, but their cooking is rude, and they eat the same things the whole year through. People who are well to do, or who are better cooks, get more variety with fewer things, and always have some thing to tempt the appetite. Soup can be made to resemble greasy dish water, or it can be made a really savory and nutritious thing, and there are a hundred different ways of serving pota toes. The physician thinks that free cooking schools would be a first rate thing in the tenement districts. Says 1). Brock, in the British Fort nightly Review : "The American peo ple are now the most comfortably housed, the best clothed and the best fed people in the world. This won derful progress lias never been more marked than it is at present. In the Held of science there is an active re search and investigation, producing results that are a constant surprise. Inventive genius is continually de veloping new and better methods and appliances by which luhor is lightened. There is wonderful activity iu all lines of industry, which turns out finer products in greater abundance from the looms, the mills ami the factories, n nd at lower price than ever before. The opportunities for education by schools, colleges and free libraries have been constantly increased. Never before has religious and philanthropic thought been more awakened and neii erous i fforts more frc U exerted t>' relieve the suffering, to provide for the needy and minister to tl unfortunate. All of these facts indicate a great ad vance on right lines to a higher, better •nd purer civilization than hus ever before existed ill the world'- history."

Jennie was watching young Farmer I 1 ay no t'ii-kinga buttercup out of the lane ; Btephen was strong aud merry.

Or tell me tho name of your lover." "Jennie, Jennie ! 'tis getting late," Came mother's voice from the farmhouse gate, But Jennie was slender and could not mate With the tender strength of a lover. And who could do a single thing With a yellow buttercup under their chin, But nestlo the great strong arms within Aud grow as red as the clover. "Maybe 'tis Ben," then sho blushed again, "And maybe 'tis only Stephen Payne"— Then tho dark crept over tho meadow lana And buttercups a-sprlnklo Not a single sound in the dusky dell Save tho tinkle of Daisy's silver bell, "Tink-a-link-a-tinkle!"

Her soft chin yellow with buttercup, His handsome face flushed over. "Where are you, Jennie? 'tis late and cold." "We're comin', mother,''said Stephen bold, "The cows got into the meadow, We stopped to drive them slowly up," Then ho slyly hid the buttercup Aud kissed her again in the shallow. —The Modern Argo.

"I don't feel nigh an lonesome as I did when I had no company but Pinky and that Clarke girl; and the land knows I'm glad to get rid of her! Dolly's only six years and live months next Tuesday; lint she's got more sense than a dozen Sairy Clnrkcs, and she's such company !" "Well, I'm glad to hear you say so; /or seems to me you weren't over anxious tu h:ivo her at first." "Well, rueblie not. You see, I've never been used to children, and I thought she'll be sueh an everlasting trouble, and keep the housi turned just inside out. Mut I couldn't refuse Cousin Emily Jane when she wrote to l>eg me to take eare of Dolly while sho went to nurse her nick mother. She offered to pay hoard ; but I wouldn't dream of taking board for Dolly. She pays for herself in good company ; and then she's sueh a provider." "Provider? Why, what can Dolly provide?" "<>li, pretty nigh everything that she thinks is wautin'! Why, she hadn't been here threo days when she wanted to kuow why I hadn't vines trained over the porch, like her mother'*; and when I said I didn't know where to get any, off she went and got a couple of sprouts of Madeiry vine from Capt'n Winston.

And reaching her calico sun bonn6t from a peg, she bustled off, stopping to kiss Dolly, who was just entering the front gate. Dolly accompanied Miss Martha as she went into the garden to get a few radishes for supper. It was a poorly cultivated garden, for it was not al ways possible to got a man to work it properly. But there yvas a big cherry tree on which the fruit was just ripen ing, and as they came in sight of this they saw that the ground beneath was strewn with torn leaves, while prints of bare feet led to a loose board in the fence. "Oh, them boys!" Miss Martha ex claimed. "They've begun, a'ready, jest as they do every year, and noxv I'll have no rest nor peace until the fruit's all gone. Last summer I could hardly stivo enough to make three jars of pre serves." "Can't you do something to keep 'em away, Aunt Marty?" snid Dolly, syni pathizingly. "No, deary—there's nothing could keep 'em away but a dog, audi haven't got one. I'm afraid to keep a dog; he might bite me some time." She hunted up some rusty nails, and with an axe tried to fasten up the loose board, but it was of no avail. Sho was a small, neat, delicately formed woman of forty, yvith a pleas ant, comely face, which now became flushed as she toiled at her unwonted task. "Tho whole fence wants mending," she said nt length, despairingly, "and I'd bo as likely to knock it all down as make it whole. Bun over to old Chloe's, Dolly, deor, un» see if her husband can't come and help me. If this board ain't fastened up at once, Miss Curry's pigs will get in aud root up the whole garden'" Dolly skipped away as light as a fairy, but in three minutes was back again, accompanied, not by the old colored man, but by Captain Winston, bearing in his hands a heavy hammer and a box of new nails. "Aunty, old Uncle .Take wasn't at home, so I brought Cap'n Winston." "Oh, Dolly—" "Be pleased to do anything for you, ma'am," said the captain, lifting his hat politely. "Took -the liberty of bringing these things, thinking possi | bly you mightn't have 'em liandy." He handled the heavy boards as if they had been shingles, and securely i fasteued up lv.lf a dozen which were ' hanging loosely by their rusted nails, Dolly looking on admiringly. "Anything more I can do for you, : ma'am?" he inquired, when the last ' heavy bloyv had been struck. "Oh, yes!" Dolly cried, eagerly. "We yvant a (log to scare away those bad bovs-- u good dog that won't bit, i 'cause Aunt Murthy's 'fraid of dogs. Won't you lend us Pilot, cap'n?" "Why, Dolly, I'm surprised at you," remonstrated Miss Martha. But the captain laughed. " That's a fust-rate idee, Polly," ho said, patting her curly head. "Pilot never bites; he's too good-natured for that. Hut he makes noise enough to score away i band of robbers. So if you're agreeable, ma'am, I'll just fetch him over ut night and anchor him to this tree till mornin', and you may de j pend he'll do his duty." So thenceforth every evening until the fruit wan all ripe and gathered, Pilot was tied at the foot of the cherry tree, and iu them irniug unloosened by Miss Murtha aud allowed togo home. The result was that besides having plenty of fruit to scud around to her neighbors, she mi le preserves enough to till a (lozeu jars—oue of which she presented to Dolly to take home with her as her very own. Uy this time there w.ia a very good acquaint sue established between Miss Martha and her bachelor neighbor, the captain. Whenever he brought over Pilot, there would be a little chat in the gar den ; aud he mHe than once insist, d upon doing her soiae little service, Mich a* pruning her grape vines and mending the Itaek doorstep, to which Holly was afraid to m'rust her small weight. And oucc, when the captain w sr. sick and Dolly reported that hu wouldn't tat the br> aklast thicliClilof prepared, Miss Martha si nt over a dainty tray of llt-r oWU delicious W utiles uud broiled chicken, which the child rttpurted glee fully the captain at.- "every lot, uud sii.l 'lh.ih tin very uiceot cooking he . ver »aw."

Why don't you get married and have some body to sew for you 1" Ho looked up and laughed. "Why, Dolly, you've got a wise lit tle head on them young shoulders," shaking his own head gravely; "but I don't know of any real nice, good wo man who would have an old fellow like me." "My Aunt Marthy is good and nice," said Dolly. "But sho wouldn't have me, Dolly." "I guess she would. She thinks you're real nice. And sho ought to have a dog and a man to take care of her and the garden." The captain laughed until his jolly face yvas rod and his blue eyes full of tears. Dolly was offended; aud sho slipped down from the bench on which she yvas seated and ran home, without saying a word of good-by. But tho next day tho little girl was sick. She had taken cold ; and for a whole week the captain saw nothing of her. His conscience smote him that he had, however unintentionally, hurt the feelings of his little friend ; so one evening ho stopped at the door with a pretty box of candies in his hand, which he intended to leave as a peace offering. "Good-day, ma'am! How is the little one to-day?" he inquired of Miss Martha, who came to the door in an syver to his modest knock. But Dolly hoard him, ami as slio was almost well and sitting up now, she insisted upon his coming in, and they had what she called "a fine time" examining and sorting tho contents of tho box. "I am sorry I ever offended you, Dolly," said the visitor, at length, as he rose to go. "You must forgive me and come to see me again soon as you are well enough." "Why, I never heard of Dolly's being offended!" Miss Martha said. "What was it about?" The captain colored ; but Dolly said, frankly : "I wasn't mad sure enough, Aunt Marthy. I wanted him to take care of you, 'cause you ought to have some body to—" "Dolly, you'll get sick again staying in this cold room. Go and sit by the kitchen fire." The child obeyed, taking her prec ious box with her; but the captain hesitated and lingered. "Maybe," he said, a little shyly— "maybe. Miss Murtliy, since the little one's mentioned it, we might as well talk the matter over now. It ain't the first time I've been thinking over it." What they said nobody ever knew; but that night, when Dolly had said her prayers, Miss Martha took her on her hi]> and into her arms, and kissed her yvith unwonted tenderness, while the child was sure she saw tears iu her eyes. "Are you sorry for anything, Aunt Marthy V" she inquired, anxiously. "Xo, deary; I'm glad." And as the child sank to sleep, rocked in her arms, the little lonely old maid looked down at the fair face with a smile through her tears, and murmured: "Bless the child!" Dolly was such a provider.—Satur day Night. A Dentist Talks. "I'd rather have three yvomen pa tients than one niiiu," said a well known practitioner iu dentistry. "They show without doubt a fur greater amount of courage and pa tience under the often excruciating tortures of the drill and forceps than men." "Have they more pluck?" "Indeed they have.

Herbert Spencer has invented a lit tle ear-machino by which he con shut out all sounds. A steam jet casts but a slight Bhadow, but if it is given a charge of electricity it takes an orange-brown hue and its shadow is very dark. To tho residents on other planets, that is, of course, providing there are such beings, our earth is a bright blue —this on account of the cerulean hue of our atmosphere. A Frenchman declares that vegeta tion can bo aided by electricity. Pota toes planted in the path of the electric current grew enormously, and electri fied tomatoes becaino ripe eigiit days before the others. The snake worm is the name of a small creature yvliieh, when alone, has almost no power of locomotion. Large numbers of tliem, by forming a close rope-like procession, move with ease from place to place. A remarkable discovery has been made by Professor Emmerich. He finds that the blood of an animal yvliieh has recovered from an infectious dis ease can cure another animal suffering from the same disease, and tho discov ery is likely to prove of the greatest importance. Lieutenant Apostolow, of the Russian navy, recently exhibited to some naval officers in Odessa a new style of ship, without screw or paddle, but yvliieh had instead "a kind of running elec trical gear round tho vessel's hull un der the waterline, and a revolving mechanism, which, he says, will pro pel a ship from Liverpool to New York in twenty-eight hours." An ingenious contrivance for record ing sunshine is the recent invention of Professor Marvin. The professor describes the instrument as consisting in priuciple of a Leslie differential air thermometer—mercury, however, be ing used to separate the air in the two bulbs, and the whole thermometer is designed iu the form of a straight tube, having a bulb ut each end.

Their normal vital power is so loyv that a degree of cold that would prove fatal to other creatures does not kill them. The decorations of walls prove to have a very important influence upon gas bills. From recent figures it has been calculated that with the different decorations a room would be equally lighted by the following caudle pint ers: Black cloth, 100; durk brown paper, eighty-seven; blue paper, seventy-two ; clean yellow paint, sixty ; clean wood, sixty ; dirty wood, eighty ; cartridge paper, twenty; whitewash, 10.

WHERE MAN'S CANINE FRIENDS DO THE WORK OF HORSES. Their Use as Draught Animals In Belgium Described by ti United Stutes Consul. I IEGE, Belgium, writes United I C States Consul Nicholas Smith, > Vi 6 a city of large yvealth and great industrial activity, pos sessing the lorgest. manufactory of machines and machinery in the world, and employing as many horses as any other town of its size in Europe, and yet for every horse at least tyvo dogs are to be seen in harness on its streets. They are to be met at all hours of tho day, but iu the early morning the boulevards arc literally alive with them. Traffickers (mostly women) with gaily painted carts dravm by well fed dogs are then seen striving to be first in the market place. A pretty, bare-headed Walloon peasant girl, moving briskly at the side of u flower cart drawn by a stalwart mastiff, is a pleasing vision to the early riser. But not only the gardener, but the butch er, the baker, the grocer, the porter, the expressman -common carriers of all kinds, indeed—engage his services. His step is so much quicker than that of tho liorge that he will in an hour cover twice the distance and carry with him a greater burden in proportion to his size. Six hundred pounds is the usual draft of an ordinary dog, though a mastiff is often taxed with as much again. They are driven single, double and sometimes three and four abreast, and are hitched indifferently, in front of, beneath, or behind the cart or wagon. When the vehicle is loaded, the driver walks, directing its courso and in emergencies laying his shoulder to the wheel; but when the load has been discharged, he often mounts the box and rushes like Jehu through the streets. It will not surprise those who know that the steam engine was familiar to the Romans m a toy to be told that the hollow revolving cylinder used in sipiirrel cases has been turned to ac count here in the movement of light machinery by enlarging its scale and substituting "Firlo" for "Bunny." I have also seen hini treading an endless belt in the service of a wood-sawyer. A gentleman of Liege, retaining his fondness for lounging upon the boule vard after losing the use of his legs, had a perambulator so constructed that a Danish hound which had been his companion for years could be hitched and almost concealed between the wheels and now appears as regu larly in his old haunts as any of liis friends. The hound is not only as liappy as when he loitered at his master's heels, but is manifestly proud of the service he renders him. Let it not be forgotten that the Bel gians are among the most refined and cultivated people on earth, uml that this new use of the dog is one of the latest aud most approved developments of their civilization. Thirty years ago, I have no doubt, a dog in harness would have excited as much remark in this city ns he woul l to-dav in Louis ville or Memphis, though he is now as well recognized uu institution of the people as the mule is in either of those cities. Bigorous discipline and the long habit of wearing muzzles seems to have subdued the belligerent instincts of these dogs, for they now meet asstraug ers at the crossings without those su percilious inspections and hostile de monstrations which characterize both men and dogs till they have received the last touches of civilization. There remains, however, a rudimentary love of the chase, of which the artful driver often axuils himself to quicken their speed; though, us 1 .ord Chesterfield ill his excessive refinement is aaid to have laughed without cachinnatiou, they have learned to hunt without barking. I'.ut a more interesting incident of their Ist tor is the complete extinction of the sheep-killing propensity.
